One thousand one hundred and ninety-four ocean
"According to information, the troops of the Japanese pirates Tokugawa clan have carried out a campaign to clear the fields in coastal areas such as Feiqian and Feihou, moving the people inward, destroying the roads and polluting the water sources, as if we were to prevent us from landing in the area to fight.
From this we can conclude that although the Japanese pirates did not show it clearly, they did not trust us and were prepared for possible wars. For this reason, our strategy is still the same and will not change.
No matter how they want to hinder us, our strategy will not change. The established landing location is the Godo Islands in Matsuura-gun, Tsushima Island and Hiroki Island. We will set up forward bases here at three places to prepare personnel and replenish supplies here.
The army will set out from Tianjin Wei Port and escorted by the navy. One of them will directly attack the Goshima of Matsuura County, seize this archipelago as a base to advance, and use it as a springboard for attacking Feiqian. The other two teams will go to Tsuma Island and Yinqi Island to rest and recuperate, and then use this two islands as a base to launch an attack."
Ma Wei briefly talked about the preliminary preparations for this battle.
Chai Guozhu had some doubts about Ma Wei’s explanation, and he directly raised his own doubts.
"Isn't it enough for us to attack directly? Why do we need to spend time and energy on these three islands?"
Liu Huangshang explained.
"I will explain General Chai's doubts. This is the case. This battle is called the so-called national destruction battle. Since it is a national destruction, it is different from simply conquering a certain place to defeat an army. It requires three months, four months, or even five months of war preparations.
This requires us to have a logistics base that is not easily threatened to provide material support to the army. In addition to the Japanese pirates, Tsuma Island and Yinqi Island have already occupied it by me, with a certain infrastructure and a port that can be used.
Tyranny was a transit station for the supply and attack of Wu Weizhong's troops in the Ming Dynasty. After our founding, our dynasty strengthened its management. There were garrisons on the island, and the same was true for Yinqi Island. There were infrastructure on the island, ports and garrisons on our dynasty.
More importantly, His Majesty has been preparing to fight against Japan a year ago, so he started transporting and resettling military supplies on this two islands one year in advance. Now the military supplies reserves on this two islands are enough for 50,000 troops to use for half a year, greatly reducing the transportation consumption of this battle.
Even the five islands in Matsuura County were clearly understood by our business and business travelers and detailed works. We knew clearly how many people, military facilities and materials there were on the island. After the army landed, it directly attacked. A large amount of military supplies could be transported directly from North Korea to the five islands. Do you understand this?”
The main generals praised Xiao Ruxun's vision and excellence. It turned out that he had already started to reserve silently more than a year ago. No wonder, it seems that if the Japanese pirates were finished in this battle, it would be unreasonable at all. The Qin Dynasty had made such preparations. If he lost, it would be unreasonable.
Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Ma Wei continued his strategic arrangements.
"The focus of this battle was on the civil war between the Japanese pirates themselves. According to His Majesty's arrangement, we hope to promote the war between the Japanese pirates and the East and West factions. When they fought with the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon were gone, our sudden attack was enough to catch them off guard.
In this battle, the left and right armies attacked from the Wudao direction and Yinqi Island, which were partial divisions, commanded by General Chai Guozhu and General Li Rusong respectively. The main force of the central army was led by me personally, and General Wu Weizhong was my deputy general and launched an attack on Ma Island.
General Chai Guozhu's left-wing army was responsible for attacking the Kyushu Island area in Japan, and then using the Kyushu area as a springboard to attack the Shikoku Island area in Japan. General Li Rusong's right-wing army was responsible for launching an attack from Yinqi Island, with the target of Danma, and then attacking Tanba and directly entering the capital of Japan, Kyoto.
General Chai Guozhu's troops are 30,000 infantrymen, so they must make steady progress and firmly grasp the Jiuzhou area. If there is spare strength on this basis, they will attack the four countries. If there is no spare strength, they can defend Jiuzhou and have completed the task.
General Li Rusong's troops were 20,000 cavalrymen, and his goal was to quickly attack, capture the heads of the Japanese king and Toyotomi clan in one place, destroy the heads of his heads, and make them have no heads.
If the battle is the best, General Li will lead his army to reconcile with me as soon as possible. If the battle is not successful, he will pursue it closely. As for supplies, if the supply is not timely, General Li Rusong's troops will be allowed to fight to support the war.
The remaining 30,000 infantry and 10,000 marines are all commanded by me, and I directly penetrated Ishimi. If I expected it, Ishimi would definitely become the area where the main forces of the Toyotomi and Tokugawa clans gathered. I want to defeat all one of them and destroy the main forces of Japan in one battle. This is the general strategy."
After saying that, Ma Wei handed the baton to Xiao Ruxun: "Please correct me!"
Xiao Ruxun smiled and waved his hand without asking for a baton: "It's not a question of correcting the rules. You are all excellent generals. I trust you, but I have to say something. First of all, don't underestimate the enemy. When I fought with the Japanese pirates for the first time, although I won a great victory, I could also feel the Japanese pirates' good fighting.
Japanese pirates were good at using long swords and using bird guns that they called iron cannons. They had not as many artillery as us, but there were also some. There were also large bird guns in their army that were larger than guns, and their firepower was not weak.
Especially after being stunned by my cannons, I have been working hard on artillery over the years. Japan lacks resources and needs to buy a large amount of supplies from outside. But even so, according to intelligence, Tokugawa has at least 100 artillery types, and Toyotomi has at least 80 artillery types.
These cannons were purchased by the Japanese from Franchise and Siamese. Most of them were Franchise guns, as well as their own homemade cannons. There was even a red cannon in Tokugawa. It can be said that they have made great progress in firepower, but compared with our army, it is far from that."
Xiao Ruxun sat down.
"I say these are for you to face the enemies you encounter, and to fight against rabbits, and to do your best. What's more, we are going to destroy a country with a population of 10 million. It's not that difficult at all. Your 100,000 troops are elite and a destruction army.
After you, you will need a large number of auxiliary soldiers, civilians, and even the Koreans. I will ask them to work together and need to occupy them. You all know that after this battle, most of the population of Japan will be used to carry out infrastructure for the Qin Dynasty.
But if there are ten million people, the Qin Dynasty will not use that much. The remaining people and land will be granted part of it to you as fiefs. I have promised you that you cannot give land in the Qin Dynasty, but outside the Qin Dynasty, you can reward you with a lot of land, but you have to try everything. Japan is just trying it."
When Xiao Ruxun said this, the generals' expressions were a little unnatural.
Even the expressions of some civil officials are not very natural.
Land is their greatest desire, but under Xiao Ruxun's pressure, they dared not have any idea about land. They could only watch Xiao Ruxun share the land with poor peasants, but they could not get thousands of acres of land rewards like the heroes of the previous dynasty, and could also buy more land.
The land plot is one of the lingering plots that the Chinese have.
They actually had a strong desire, but until now, Xiao Ruxun officially let go and allowed them to occupy the newly occupied land.
In fact, many people are also confused. Although they can obtain land, can foreign land and wild land be compared with their own land?
How to develop and manage?
Xiao Ruxun didn't say anything about these, but they believed that Xiao Ruxun would definitely not let them suffer losses.
They work hard to conquer the world for the emperor. It would be fine if the emperor didn't give his own land. Foreign land should always be given some benefits?
Maybe you don't have to pay taxes!
They naturally couldn't imagine that this was not only a method used by Xiao Ruxun to reward meritorious officials, but also a way to provide a layer of insurance for the marine forces he developed. After his death, there would be no closed sea after Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji.
The territory of the heroes is overseas, and many people's interests are overseas. They are driven by interests and will definitely protect the benefits brought by opening the sea.
Objectively, it will light up the marine skills of Daqin, expand its career, evolve from a land hegemonic country to a land hegemonic country, thereby preventing the population traps that may be encountered in the future.
Ocean, a sea with infinite possibilities, how can it not be used by China?
