The first thousand five hundred and eighth chapter war against the Japanese
Zhu Cixuan found four senior executives, including Zhou Yuji, Wu Qichen, Zhu Jirun and Wang Zhiqian: "I plan to launch a new round of war against Japan. What are your suggestions?"
Among these four people, except Wang Zhiqian, the rest of them were inexplicable. Why did they suddenly attack Japan?
Zhu Cixuan looked at Wang Zhiqian: "You come and explain the following reasons to them."
Wang Zhiqian bowed and agreed, and then organized the language: "Last month, the Jinyiwei cracked a spy case, and some Japanese forces attempted to unify the six Japanese countries to welcome the emperor back."
Wu Qichen asked, "Your Majesty, are these spies sent by a certain country in Japan?"
Zhu Cilang shook his head: "No, this is an old famous man who tried to restore his former territorial territory and promoted it privately.
Judging from the size of this group of people, there are no fewer people who have this idea.
Through the investigation of the Jinyiwei, it was found that there were no less than dozens of such organizations in Japan.
I feel it is necessary to carry out a round of purges on them so that they can know the will of the Ming Dynasty.”
Zhou Yuji nodded: "What your Majesty said is that as part of the Ming Dynasty's absolute national defense circle, Japan will sooner or later be included in the Ming Dynasty's territory. Since there is such a good reason now, it is better to do it earlier than to do it that night.
I feel that I will mobilize seven divisions of troops to land on the island of Japan and then destroy the Japanese colonies in various places."
Zhu Jirun shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty, this war minister feels that there is no need for the Ming Dynasty to send troops, and it seems that the reason for launching a war against Japan is not very sufficient."
Zhu Cixuan looked at him calmly: "Oh? Then what do you think you should do?"
Zhu Jirun bowed: "Your Majesty, I think your Majesty can order all countries to investigate such organizations strictly and send supervisors to the Jinyiwei to investigate their investigation and prosecution efforts.
If someone disobeys the enemy or secretly supports these organizations, then the Ming Dynasty will use thunder to annihilate them, which will shock the young people and become famous in the army and not be afraid of by all countries."
Zhu Cilang glanced at Wu Qichen, and Wu Qichen bowed: "I think what General Manager Zhu said is reasonable. The most important thing in this battle is that his army is famous. What I fear most is that these vassal states have the sadness of the tragedy.
At the same time, it can also urge all countries to investigate and punish anti-Ming forces in their own country, which can be said to have multiple goals in one fell swoop.
It mobilizes less troops and costs less than directly starting a war.
Moreover, General Staff Zhou called out very happily. What if you delay the Ming Dynasty’s war against the Ottoman Empire once you use these hundreds of thousands of troops?
Compared with the war against the Ottoman Empire, this unrest in Japan was just a trivial matter.
If His Majesty wants to attack Japan at this time, he will have to mobilize 300,000 troops, and the 300,000 troops of Japan will not be used by the Ming Dynasty.
If His Majesty did not attack Japan at this time, not only would his 300,000 troops not be restrained, but the total Japanese army of more than 300,000 troops could also assist the Ming Dynasty in the war.
This idea is the gap between 600,000 troops. Please be cautious, General Secretary Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Yuji also bowed helplessly: "Wu Xiang is right, he is indeed ready for the Ottoman Empire war. It is not advisable to start a war at this time. Fighting on two fronts has always been a taboo in military use.
Your Majesty, please be cautious.
Although Japan is not big, I really want to take action. I guess the Ming Dynasty needs to use 200,000 to 300,000 troops, and the situation in Japan that has entered the war may not be more stable than it is now."
Zhu Cilang was a little surprised. This time, Zhu Jirun opened his mouth and made a suggestion, but he actually obtained the consent of Wu Qichen and Zhou Yuji.
Let’s look at Wang Zhiqian who has been silent on the other hand. The three of the four ministers have unified their opinions and one of them has agreed. What else can I say? This is all I can do.
Although this does not match the result Zhu Cilang wanted, Zhu Cilang was not in a hurry. He was still young and had the opportunity to play slowly.
Zhu Cixuan waved his hand: "Then let's draw an order and send an inspection team to supervise their progress in eliminating these anti-Ming armed forces."
Zhu Cilang was very unhappy when the war did not start. When Zhu Cilang thought of these little dwarfs, he felt like a ray of light on his back and felt very uneasy. He felt unhappy if he didn't mess with the other party.
While Zhu Cilang was thinking about it, Zhu Jirun left and returned: "Your Majesty, in fact, the interests of the Ming Dynasty in Japan are far greater than those of Japan itself. The biggest losses in the turmoil in Japan are not Japan but the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Cixuan raised his head: "Oh? What do you mean by this?"
Zhu Jirun bowed: "First of all, the greatest interest of the Ming Dynasty is the mining of gold and silver mines in Japan. According to His Majesty's request, the mining method adopted there is to mine all the mining methods, so as long as there are mines in places where there are mines, the Ming Dynasty has mines.
There are currently more than 100 gold mines in the Japanese region, and there are three or four silver mines and gold-silver-related mines. The direct gold and silver that brings to Huangming Business every year is worth over 10 million taels.
The second is that the Ming Dynasty had four major ports in the Japanese region, Chiyoda Port, Shimoguan Port, Nagoya and Kobe in Kyoto Bay have become the top four major ports in the Japanese region.
The population has exceeded 35% of Japan's total population, and its economy is even more like a country.
The Ming Dynasty stationed the Pacific Fleet in Chiyoda and Shimonoseki, and the other two cities also stationed the Marine Corps. It has been built fortresses over the years, which is as solid as a matter of fact.
Judging from the future forms, even if the Ming Dynasty did not take action in the Japanese region, their population would be concentrated in these cities and eventually became subjects of the Ming Dynasty.
If Your Majesty has opinions about Japan, he only needs to relax the entry threshold for the four cities and strengthen investment in infrastructure such as education and medical care in the four cities.
The Ming Dynasty can defeat Japan faster than in war.
In addition to the four cities, the Ming Dynasty chambers of commerce also have many timber factories, shipyards, shipbuilding plants, steel factories, textile factories, sulfur mines, saltpeter mines and other industries in Japan. For example, the Japanese region has formed a tradition of planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms, and the annual output of silk is equivalent to that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
As an important transit port for the New World of Ming Dynasty, the stability of the Japanese region is of great significance to the stability of the entire Pacific route of the Ming Dynasty, and it is really not appropriate to make a big move."
Zhu Ciyang was unhappy at first, but now he felt even more unhappy after listening to it: "Why do there be shipbuilding and steel factories in Japan?
Don’t I prohibit the construction of these factories outside the customs?”
Zhu Jirun explained strangely: "Back to your Majesty, Japan is an important transit station for the Pacific Channel and the Pacific Fleet's garage, so there must be a ship repair yard.
Moreover, Japan has a shipyard itself. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty went there just to carry out some technological upgrades and also to produce merchant ships. There should be nothing, right?
There is also a steel factory, which will take on the task of repairing ships in the future. Is it normal to have a steel factory?
They are all in the Ming Dynasty again, and I think there is no problem."
