In the East China Sea, a huge fleet of ships marched toward the Japanese country with great momentum.
On the "Huo Qubing No.", Zhang Mao, Liu Jin, Yang Yun, and Wang Shouren gathered together. They were studying the map of the Japanese country and discussing the details of this time's conquest of the Japanese country.
¡°Historically, the Northern Yuan Dynasty made two expeditions to Japan, but both times they were very unlucky. They encountered hurricanes, suffered heavy losses, and ended in failure.¡±
Wang Shouren is very knowledgeable. When discussing the conquest of Japan, the first thing that comes to mind is the historical Yuan Dynasty period. The Yuan Dynasty's two expeditions to Japan both ended in failure.
"When fighting at sea, weather is an extremely important factor. Not only hurricanes, but also wind direction and wind speed are extremely critical. In many cases, headwinds and tailwinds are the key to success or failure."
Liu Jin nodded after listening and said that in naval battles in the early era of great navigation, a particularly important point was to seize the upwind direction. If you seize the upwind direction, the speed of the ship can be faster, and at the same time, your artillery can have a longer range. On the contrary, in the downwind direction , the speed of the ship will be very slow and the range of the artillery will be shortened.
During the Yuan Dynasty, the expedition to Japan was unlucky enough to encounter typhoons twice. Needless to say, the result was that the army on the expedition to Japan suffered heavy casualties due to typhoons.
But even so, the Kamakura shogunate, the ruler of the Japanese country at that time, was seriously injured by resisting the attack of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which also created conditions and opportunities for the rise of the Muromachi shogunate later.
During its heyday, the Yuan Dynasty conquered almost every corner of the Asian continent, and its combat power was unquestionable.
¡°Then will we encounter a hurricane?¡±
Zhang Mao said with some worry.
"Hurricane is a typhoon to be precise. It is a type of cyclone formed in tropical or subtropical high-pressure areas. It usually occurs in summer and autumn. We are in spring now, so there is no need to worry about hurricanes."
Liu Jin smiled and said.
"I can rest assured that."
Zhang Mao breathed a sigh of relief. If he really encountered a hurricane, he would be really unlucky.
Of course, as a time traveler, Liu Jin would definitely not make such a stupid mistake.
"Our current location is in the southern part of North Korea, very close to Muma Island. It is estimated that we will reach Japan in about ten days."
¡°Everyone, let¡¯s talk about it, how should we eradicate the Japanese pirates and teach the Japanese a lesson?¡±
Zhang Mao looked at the map. The current location of the fleet was clearly marked on the map, and the information about Japan and North Korea was also very complete.
"I think we must first issue a stern warning to the Japanese kings and the Muromachi shogunate, and send them the reprimand edict of our great emperor. If they can restrain their samurai in a sensible manner, and even help us eliminate the Japanese pirates, we can Achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting."
"War is not the goal. Our ultimate goal is to get the Japanese side to stop collecting tariffs on our Ming Dynasty merchant ships. At the same time, we want the Japanese side to hand over the Iwami area to us, and then to fight against Japanese pirates and protect the routes."
Wang Shouren thought for a while and said.
"No, I know the Japanese people better. They only believe in fists. If we send them a reprimand as soon as we arrive in Japan, they won't even care about us."
"And the current Japanese kings have no power and influence at all. It is said that the Japanese kings even have trouble eating. As for the Muromachi shogunate, since the Onin Rebellion, its control over the daimyo in various places has also declined sharply. Seven years ago, The retainers of the Muromachi shogunate launched another coup and deposed the original general of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshisai."
"The current conquering general, Ashikaga Yosumi, is a puppet. The real power is in the hands of a few important retainers, so the daimyo in various parts of the Japanese country are even more inferior to the shogunate."
"Whether we reprimand the Japanese king or the generals who conquered barbarians in the Muromachi shogunate, it is actually useless, because the daimyo everywhere do not like them at all."
Liu Jin pondered for a while, shook his head and said.
The current Japanese state is very chaotic. It is the beginning of the Warring States Period. In a few decades, it will enter the peak period of the Warring States Period, and it will not end until the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
The current Japanese state is Emperor Goto Mikado. This emperor is already very old. According to historical records, he died in the thirteenth year of Hongji.
At this time, the Japanese king of Japan was very miserable. After Emperor Gotsuchimikado died, there was no way to carry out a funeral because he had no money. The body was kept in the temple for almost two months. In the end, several daimyo givep; "Would it be too confident and hasty to divide the troops into three groups?"
Zhang Mao thought for a while and said.
"No, I have checked some information about the Japanese country. The Japanese country is small and has poor resources. Although the daimyo in various places are princes and kings, they are relatively weak and they do not have many troops at all."
¡°The wars between them usually involve only a few hundred people, wars involving thousands of people rarely occur, and as for wars involving tens of thousands of people, there are very few wars throughout history.¡±
"Our Ming Dynasty's 50,000-strong army is actually enough to sweep across the entire Japanese country."
Wang Shouren shook his head and said very confidently.
"With ten thousand troops to deal with the Ouchi family, the Uesugi family is enough. What's more, we also have the latest Miyun cannon. Just use the cannon to blast them clean."
Hearing this, Liu Jin also nodded. To deal with the Japanese pirate village, it seems that it does not require too much power.
The current Ming army can be regarded as a Ming army armed to the teeth, and its fighting will is also very high now, because this expedition also has rewards.
The emerging capitalists of the Ming Dynasty, the powerful people who invested in major commercial banks, big landowners, big gentry, etc., all joined forces to contribute money and efforts, although the rewards were not as large as those for killing the Tatars in the steppe last year.
But this time, Liu Jin had also spoken in advance. Killing a Japanese pirate would reward him with 20 taels of silver. This was enough. As long as there was silver, the combat effectiveness of Ming soldiers would skyrocket. This was the greatest proof last year.
"At that time, Poluhou will lead an army of 10,000 to the Ouchi family of the government and seize Shimane County. Liu Jin, you will lead an army of 10,000 to the Kanto region to teach the Uesugi family a lesson. The remaining 30,000 troops will be led by Duke Zhang to teach the shogunate. "
"Finally, the armies led by Yang Hou and Liu Jin will sweep from east to west and then sweep across the entire Japanese country. They will give a severe lesson to all the daimyo along the way. Naturally, the goal I want to achieve will be achieved."
"As for these daimyo on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, we will be able to teach them a lesson by casually sending some troops there."
Wang Shouren thought for a while and continued to add.
"I'll forget it. I definitely can't lead the troops. It's better to leave it to Wang Shouren to teach the Uesugi family a lesson. I'd better follow Mr. Zhang to teach the shogunate a lesson."
Hearing that Wang Shouren asked him to lead an army, Liu Jin immediately shook his head.
"Are you kidding? I don't know how to lead troops at all. If something happens, my life may be lost in the Japanese country. It will be a big loss.
It is better to follow Zhang Mao. There are 30,000 troops there, and 10,000 new troops will definitely follow Zhang Mao. This is safer. Let Wang Shouren do this dangerous thing.
¡°Anyway, he is a military genius, and he actually has martial arts skills. His martial arts skills are quite high. Even though he looks like a weak scholar, if he can mount a sword and kill the enemy, he is probably not much worse than Poluhou Yang Yun next to him.
This is a fierce man, a great figure has appeared in hundreds of years.
There will definitely be no problem for him to lead an army.
"That's okay~"
Wang Shouren thought for a while and didn¡¯t even mean to refuse, so he just nodded and said.
""
Liu Jin was speechless. Well, a good person is a good person without any humility. He is probably similar to Han Xin and others. The more soldiers the better.
"Mr. Zhang, do you think this arrangement is good?"
Liu Jin looked at Zhang Mao and asked.
Zhang Mao is a very smart person. He is actually similar to Liu Jin. He has never commanded a march and fought, and he is a little panicked, so he asked Wang Shouren, Liu Jin and Yang Yun to discuss the matter.
Most of the time, he listens to Liu Jin and Wang Shouren. He doesn't know much himself, so he just listens to others. Anyway, as long as he can win, he doesn't care who takes command.
"I think it's okay~"
After Zhang Mao pondered for a while, he thought about it and nodded.
Yang Yun leads the way, Wang Shouren leads the way, and he and Liu Jin are all safe. With Liu Jin, a disciple of a master, he is very safe, not to mention that he has 30,000 troops and 10,000 new troops. The army is armed to the teeth and the training is quite rigorous. Although they have never been on the battlefield, they are certainly not bad.
Of course, if he knew that Liu Jin was panicking, he wouldn't think so. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
