Eunuch Wei was very surprised. He did not expect that the people who proposed to abolish the Emperor were actually these people in the Japanese Confucian community.

However, after a little thought, I will understand that not only Japanese Confucianism who advocates "integration of China and closeness to China" are ordinary Japanese people, but they have no awe or loyalty to the Emperor of Kyoto.

This is formed by specific historical factors in Japan.

Although the shogunate founded by the warrior always emphasized loyalty to the emperor, this lord was a general, not an emperor. The existence of the shogunate was also the greatest contempt for the emperor's authority.

The current Japanese royal family has only a small fiefdom. Because they have no money, the royal family has to send people to sell calligraphy and paintings on the street to obtain a meager income.

After the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, he even held the Kyoto royal family in finances and directly interfered in the government. Emperor Gomizuo was more a puppet than an emperor.

The Japanese truly regard the Emperor as a god-like existence, and they will have to overthrow the post-shogunate reform in two or three hundred years later.

Without Shintoism and ****, the Emperor will naturally be worthless and will not become an inviolable existence in the minds of Japanese scholars.

As Eunuch Wei has always praised, Confucianism does not distinguish between national boundaries, and the ideological awareness of Confucian scholars is high.

As we all know, "Respecting the emperor and expelling the barbarians" and "The Land of Imperial Way" have always been the propaganda slogan of the imperial army, but this propaganda slogan is temporarily vague during an uncertain period.

Specifically, different people have different understandings of this "emperor". For example, the young Emperor in Kyoto is very interested in these two propaganda slogans.

The Kusumi Department's secret line in Kyoto conveyed to the base camp that Kyoto wanted to contact Huang Ai, but because Tokugawa Hidetachi had a strict control over Kyoto, the two sides could not formally meet and talk.

Moreover, both the Kyoto and the Imperial Army hope that the formal talks can be followed by the Kyoto War.

Whoever controls Kyoto can decide whether the talks can be carried out successfully and achieve results that are mutually satisfactory between the two parties.

Based on various reality, Eunuch Wei had no intention of declaring the true meaning of the word "Emperor" to all Japan now, because the time is not yet ripe.

Therefore, my father-in-law recognized the radical idea of ​​some people in the Japanese Confucian community to abolish the emperor, integrate the whole country into the Ming Dynasty, and use the Ming Dynasty as the emperor of Japan, but proposed a "three-step" plan.

The first step in the so-called "three-step" plan is to capture Kyoto first and control Houmizuo to the hands of the imperial army, so that Houmizuo can be used to influence some Japanese vassal states and completely deny the rationality of the existence of the shogunate.

During this stage, the Emperor Ming and the Imperial Army expressed respect for the young Emperor and kept the Kyoto court as much as possible.

The second step is to write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty after controlling Kyoto, and enthroned Hou Mizuyo as the king of Japan, imitating the Korean example.

The third step is to formally enclose Japan when the Imperial Army can completely integrate military, cultural and economically.

The first and second steps, the father-in-law, called the "Meiji Period", was the period of actual rule over some parts of Japan by the Ming Dynasty.

During this period, Eunuch Wei conservatively estimated that it would take five to eight years.

The third step is called the "co-prosperity period" and also the "Changzhi period", which is the real co-prosperity era of East Asia.

During the Meiji period, the Imperial Army mainly promoted Chinese language teaching and imperial examination system, in addition to strengthening control of the Kyoto court and carrying out major reforms to the Japanese political system and system.

In the plan, Eunuch Wei himself and the young Houmizuo will sign the "Tomorrow Protocol" to determine the formal relationship between the Kyoto court and the Ming Dynasty.

When this plan was introduced, it was opposed by some officers of the Guards Division, such as the captain of the First Regiment, and the captain of the Sixth Regiment, Li Yanzhao.

Li Yanzhao submitted a manuscript of "The Fundamental Strategy for Solving the Japanese Issues", believing that the Emperor Ming's conquest against Japan should be comprehensive and thorough, without any hidden dangers.

Therefore, the imperial army should continue to increase its troops in Japan, and immediately marched into Edo after capturing Kyoto, and immediately marched towards other vassal states after controlling these two political centers of Japan. The imperial army's invincible bayonet was used as the emperor to completely solve the problem of the century-old Japanese disaster, and at the same time save the Japanese people who were deeply trapped in the brutal shogunate.

In this manuscript, Li Yanzhao strongly suggested that the base camp could not recognize the Kyoto court, and required that all conditions be taken to achieve the beheading of the pseudo-Emperor during the Kyoto War.

The reason is that there is no day and no one is the people.

In order to achieve this goal, some officers of the Guards Division have begun to plan an attack on Kyoto without hiding the base camp.

The base camp strongly opposed the radical officer's plan for the comprehensive consideration of Japan and the actual ability of the Imperial Army to deploy its own military power.

"Not expanding" is the current general program of the base camp's battle against Japan.

Chief of Staff Jiang Xifeng personally issued a document to question the plan submitted by Li Yanzhao, and asked the Guards Division to rectify the officer's thoughts, implement the established combat plan of the base camp and the formulated occupation plan against Japan.

Li Yanzhao's readings actually said strongly that the First Army would never accept the "existence of the pseudo-government in Kyoto."

Although Cao Wenyao, the commander of the Guard Division, was a tiger general, but he was too kind and righteous in the imperial guards, and seemed to be a little mother-in-law and always wanted to be a good man. Therefore, Cao Wenyao could not make a decision in response to the chaotic opinions of the division departments, forming a unified idea, so that the officers could even quarrel in the meeting.

The lawsuit was fought to Eunuch Wei.

In order to further clarify his opinions, Ichiro Sanada and Li Yanzhao jointly submitted the "Outline of the Establishment of New Japan Plan". The core of the outline is to propose that one must not be satisfied with establishing only a pro-Ming regime. If only a pro-Ming regime is established, one cannot act according to the intentions of the empire.

Eunuch Wei issued an outline instructions: Originally, it was the long-term plan to regard Japan as one of the territory of our empire. However, given the origin of history, it is now eager to implement it, and it may be subject to material discussions and opposition from the Japanese people, and the hard work of the imperial army in the fight is not a wise move.

Afterwards, Eunuch Wei ordered the reprimand of Ichiro Sanada, Li Yanzhao and others, and used extremely strict words. He also instructed the Chrysanlang to immediately carry out a "rebellion" action against the Kyoto court.

In the event that the two parties cannot guarantee a meeting, the father-in-law instructed the Kikumiya agency to ensure that the Kyoto court can stay in Kyoto and not flee to Edo or other areas with Tokugawa Hidetachi.

After the secret observation group of the Japanese Confucian scholars left, in early January, Eunuch Wei started from the entire battle situation and believed that the time for a strategic battle with the main force of the Shogunate Central Army of Tokugawa Hidetachi, was ripe, and ordered the base camp to formulate the First Army to go north to attack Kyoto, the Aki Detachment attacked Ikeda, the Mida line, and the Xuewen Detachment attacked Kusatsu, and adopted the "closing the door and fighting dogs" tactic to lock the shogunate and the near-vassal Japanese army near Kyoto and annihilate them.
