During the Middle Tang Dynasty, the Japanese tried to annex Chaoxian. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, there were Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo and other countries on the Korean Peninsula, and they fought each other. The Japanese took the opportunity to join forces with Baekje and tried to control the entire Chaoxian. Unfortunately, they were beaten back by the Tang Dynasty x Silla military team. Ten years ago, the Japanese made a comeback again and tried to annex Chaoxian. As a result, they fought with the Ming Dynasty for eight years, but in the end they had to withdraw their troops.

It was precisely because of this war that it fought for eight years that the Japanese realized the weakness of the Ming Dynasty.[]

Although the final result was that they had to retreat the main force of the troops back to the main island of Japan and declared the failure of the invasion, their covetousness of North Korea never stopped. They were just waiting for a better opportunity.

This time, the Ming Dynasty was in chaos, with rebels like Xu Xingxia, splitting the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Jianlu invasion in Liaodong. The violent elements in Japan began to rush to move. The leader was Tokugawa Ieyasu. Two years ago, Tokugawa Ieyasu successfully surrendered to Toyotomi Hiderai and officially unified the country. His eyes were once again directed at the Korean Kyushen. The four kings of the Tokugawa Shogunate and descendants of the sixteen generals were all coquettish and eager to try, and vowed to avenge the previous shame and include the Korean Kyushen Peninsula in Japan's territory.

It is indeed tragic to say that the place of Chaoxian is in danger, almost always under the shadow of the Japanese. As long as the Japanese have the strength, they have been trying to occupy the Chaoxian. The war between the two 10 years ago has not yet hurt the Japanese, but the Japanese are coming again. The news of Chaoxian should have just been received. I don’t know what kind of reaction the Chaoxian side will have. It is estimated that they should still ask the Ming Dynasty for help.

However, with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to rescue the Korean Peninsula. The Ming Dynasty in Nanjing is already a clay Buddha crossing the river and it is difficult to protect itself. In this world, the only one who can save the Korean people is the White Army. In other words, if the Korean people are not particularly stupid, they should have sent someone to ask the White Army for help.

Yuan Keli said: "The Japanese pirates are obsessed with it and do not regret it, and they should strike head-on."

Sun Yuanhua said tentatively: "Then... let's send a military team immediately to land on Qixian?"

Xu Xingxia smiled and shook her head, without saying anything, but just looked at Yuan Yingtai. Yuan Yingtai also shook her head and said slowly: "We should not send troops now. We should wait for a large number of Japanese pirates to land on the North Korean Peninsula, and then dispatch military teams."

Sun Yuanhua said with some concern: "If the Japanese pirates gain a foothold in the Korean Peninsula... we will take a lot of effort to destroy them?"

Yuan Yingtai said calmly: "Chuyang, think about it, what is the most critical condition for us to defeat the Japanese pirates? Or, what is the essential premise?"

Sun Yuanhua said cautiously: "There must be a strong enough navy to cut off the sea transportation line of the Japanese pirates. Japan and North Korea are separated by the sea. As long as we cut off the relationship between Japan and North Korea and North Korea on the sea, the Japanese pirates who land on the North Korea and North Korea will all be done."

Xu Xingxia said meaningfully: "You are right, we need a strong navy."

Yuan Yingtai also said meaningfully: "It takes a long time to build a navy. Our navy is really unable to free up people!"

What else Sun Yuanhua had to say, suddenly realized something, and turned his eyes and gradually understood what the two of them meant. It turns out that Xu Xingxia and Yuan Yingtai had long thought of going together. It took a long time for the navy to start, and it was nonsense. In fact, the fundamental purpose was to let the Japanese and the Koreans cut each other against each other, causing both sides to suffer losses, or die together, that would be the best. The white-clothed army finally came out to clean up the mess, and it was relaxed and happy.

Whether it is Xu Xingxia or Yuan Yingtai, they are actually standard Han dynasties. In their eyes, other countries are all alternatives and heresy. The so-called non-my race must have different hearts, and they are absolutely uneasy about other countries and forces. If they have the opportunity to weaken or even destroy the other party, they will never let them go. Unfortunately, Japan and the Korean king are both in the ranks of non-my race.

The Kingdom of Chaoyue has always been a vassal state of the Central Plains dynasty, and the King of Chaoyue has always respected the Central Plains dynasty as the sect leader. On the surface, the relationship between the Kingdom of Chaoyue and the Central Plains dynasty is very harmonious. However, this definitely does not mean that the Kingdom of Chaoyue is obedient and obedient to the Central Plains dynasty. In many things, the Kingdom of Chaoyue has its own conspiracy and small actions. For example, the current king of the Kingdom of Chaoyue, Li Hui, took control of political power by usurping the throne, and the Ming Dynasty has always refused to recognize the legitimacy of his political power. However, there is no way to deal with him.

The meaning of Xu Xingxia and Yuan Yingtai is actually very simple, that is, pretending to know nothing, and let the Japanese pirates land on the Korean and the Japanese pirates fight and consume each other. If there is no external interference, it is estimated that the Korean pirates cannot defeat the Japanese pirates. The only thing they can do is to delay time. Only when the Korean pirates cannot hold on and are about to perish will they mobilize a large army to deal with the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop. This can achieve two goals.

The first purpose is to minimize the strength of the Korean people. To be honest, the current relationship between Li Hui, the King of Korea, and the Ming Dynasty is quite bad. Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the White-Clothed Army, they have always wanted to replace this king. This time, the Japanese pirates invade again is the best opportunity. It is best if Li Hui dies at the hands of the Japanese pirates, which is even more perfect. The White-Clothed Army can establish a new king in the name of revenge for Li Hui.

It is actually not very difficult to achieve this goal. As long as the white-clothed army is deaf and dumb, it is enough. No matter what kind of messengers sent by the Korean people or what kind of temptations they throw, the white-clothed army does not have to pay attention to the other party. With three or five years, the Korean people will definitely not be able to hold on. When they are desperate, the Korean Kingdom must agree to the conditions proposed by the White-clothed army, even the most harshest conditions. Otherwise, the Korean Kingdom will only have a destruction.

As for whether the Japanese pirates will gain a foothold in the Korean Peninsula, or whether the Korean King of Yue simply surrenders to Japan, it doesn't matter. In the face of the butcher knife of the White-clothed Army, the Japanese pirates are not enough to see it. This is not that Xu Xingxia is despising the other party, but that is indeed the case. How could the Japanese pirate army, which is generally using smoothbore guns, be the opponent of the Han-style rifle? Unless Xu Xingxia himself is crazy and makes a huge mistake, the Japanese pirates will definitely have no chance.

The second purpose is to minimize the power of the Japanese pirates. The fundamental strategic policy of the White Army is four words, with no return. Simply put, the Japanese pirates land on the Great Korean Peninsula will be destroyed as much as they land. Don’t expect one to run back. The more Japanese pirates come, the better. Last time, they came 150,000, and this time they were best to have 300,000.

To do this, a powerful navy needs to completely seal the maritime connection between the North Korean Peninsula and Japan. No matter how powerful Japan is in the North Korean Peninsula, once the maritime transportation line is cut off, they will only be killed. World War II has fully proved one thing. The best way to deal with Japan is to seal the navy. As long as the Japanese local seal is locked up, the Japanese will no longer be able to withstand it.

The war against Japan and aid Korea twenty years ago was because the Ming Navy was not strong enough to completely block the seas between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, which allowed a large number of Japanese pirates to retreat smoothly. If the Ming Navy was strong enough, the Japanese military team on the Korean Peninsula would have no possibility of returning to Japan at all. Without these 150,000 elite military teams, the Japanese would definitely be severely damaged, which would be very beneficial for the White Army to land on the Japanese mainland in the future. It can be said that this is a long-term strategic action.

"The Navy is the key of the key," Yuan Yingtai said cautiously.

"No need to delay, let's go to Dengzhou now." Xu Xingxia said immediately.

Xu Xingxia and his group set out from Kaifeng Prefecture, first arrived in Jinan, and then from Jinan to Dengzhou. It took about eight days along the way.

After a brief stop in Dengzhou, the group came directly to Weihaiwei Port. At this time, the white-clad cavalry was already stationed in Weihaiwei. In the near future, the Marine Corps will take over here.

Weihaiwei is one of the best military ports in Shandong. The Beiyang Navy later established a base here. When Xu Xingxia and others came to Weihaiwei, the former backbone of the Ming Navy who had gathered together in advance had been summoned. There were more than 300 officers, and more than 1,800 ordinary sailors and soldiers. These people all experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan and Aid Korea and had certain combat experience. After receiving the long-standing money and grain, their morale was still quite good. They were still very enthusiastic about joining the White Army Navy.

But this time, Xu Xingxia's request was quite special, that is, the age must be under forty. He would not want anything for those over forty years old. No matter how outstanding the command talent is, he would not want it. As compensation, these people can only exist as the navy's advisory group. Xu Xingxia can give them a certain salary, but cannot allow them to hold actual positions. Of course, they can also serve as navy teachers, responsible for teaching young sailors and soldiers.
