Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 384

When Taichang was busy building a new Chang'an City in Xinyongzhou, Lu Xiangsheng had already attacked the Japanese pirates' lair!
By the way, didn't the Tokugawa clan order the princes from all walks of life to try their best to resist at every level? How could Lu Xiangsheng's marching speed be so fast?

Did he defeat the Tokugawa shogunate in one fell swoop and hit Edo Castle directly?

Of course that is impossible!

Dongying's old nest is not in Edo Castle.

Edo Castle rose only after Tokugawa Ieyasu was granted the title of Kanto, and its history is only a few decades old.

After the Edo Castle of later generations became the capital of Dongying, it was only called Tokyo, not the capital.

The meaning of "Tokyo" does not mean that the capital of Dongying is to the east of the capital of Ming Dynasty. The word "Tokyo" means that the new capital of Dongying is to the east of the original capital of Dongying.

The real capital of Dongying is Heianjing, located in the mountain city country.

In fact, Dongying was not a unified country from the beginning. During the Han Dynasty, Dongying was still a mess of tribes or small countries.

At that time, the most powerful Yamatai Kingdom only unified the northern part of Kyushu Island, and Himiko, the leader of Yamatai Kingdom, was the first to contact the Han Dynasty and be granted the title of Japanese slave.

Later, a Yamato country appeared in the middle of Honshu Island, and it took more than 100 years for the Yamato country to unify the entire Dongying.

It was roughly during the Sui Dynasty that the Yamato Kingdom unified the entire Dongying. At that time, Dongying became a truly unified country, and the so-called emperor of Dongying was the king of the Yamato Kingdom.

This is why the Dongying people call themselves the Yamato nation.

And the history of the Japanese pirates’ foreign aggression also began with Yamato. Yamato unified the entire Dongying and then took advantage of the opportunity of the early Tang Dynasty to coerce Baekje to invade the Tang’s vassal Silla, just like Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Invasion is normal.

Therefore, the Japanese pirates are ambitious, and these guys cannot become stronger. Once they become stronger, they will launch a war of aggression to the outside world. This has been the case since the beginning of the country of Japan!

At that time, there was no mention of the capital after the Dahe Kingdom unified Dongying. It was not until later that they imitated the Tang Dynasty and established the so-called Heian capital.

The name of Ping'an Jing was actually taken from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the Shancheng Kingdom was originally called Yongzhou!

Only after the capital of Ping'an-kyo was established in Dongying, the administrative regions were divided nationwide, and the so-called "five bases, seven provinces and 66 countries" were determined.

Wuji refers to the Gyeonggi Five Kingdoms, namely Shancheng Country, Yamato Country, Hanoi Country, Iquan Country, and Settsu Country.

The Seven Ways are the seven roads of the world divided by the system of the Tang Dynasty, namely Dongkaidao, Dongshandao, Hokurikudao, Sanyodao, Sanyangdao, Nankaidao and Xikaidao.

At that time, there was no place name of Hokkaido, Hokkaido was added after the Meiji Restoration, now Hokkaido is still called Ezodi.

In other words, the Japanese pirates' lair is not actually in Edo, nor is it Tokyo in later generations, but in Heian-kyo or the five countries of Gyeonggi.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng has already reached the five countries of Gyeonggi.

In fact, this speed is not fast, because in three or four months he has won five or six small vassal states.

And after he got here, he couldn't do anything anymore, because the Japanese pirates' resistance became more and more fierce.

When Taichang received the news, he immediately left five large fishing boats and went straight to Honzhou.

Danba Country, Kuwata County.

More than [-] troops from Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion gathered, and the Emperor of Ming came to the front line again.

In the commander's tent, Lu Xiangsheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the generals of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp gathered around a large table, frowning and meditating.

On the big table is a map of Japan.

Although the bright yellow color that represented Ming Dynasty had already covered half of Japan, their faces showed no complacent look at all.

Because their advance speed in the past few months is really too slow. If they continue at this speed, it will take at least two years for them to win the entire East Ocean!

This morale is worrying!

Taichang glanced around slowly, and then smiled slightly: "What's wrong? Everyone looks like they've lost a battle, with frowning faces. Aren't you fighting well? The Japanese pirates have been beaten into shrinking turtles by you. Don't need to do this, right? Turtles only have a harder shell, so why don't we smash their shells to pieces?"

Uh, is the emperor joking?
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I really have a responsibility to entrust you. It took more than a hundred days to win five or six small vassal states. Please punish me."

Taichang shook his head slightly and said, "What's the matter? It wasn't the same when I was sitting here. The Japanese pirates thought there was still hope for a comeback, so they were still desperately resisting. It's normal for you to advance slower. If the Dutch are defeated by us again I guess they'll be gone in an instant."

That's what I said, but the speed of time is really too slow, they all feel ashamed!

Lu Xiangsheng hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I want to change the attack strategy, I don't know if it is possible."

Hearing this, Taichang said without hesitation: "Now you are the coach, you can fight as you want, you don't need to care about how I played before, I didn't say that I must play the way I used to play! Tell me! , what strategy do you want to adopt."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he quickly explained in detail: "Your Majesty, I think that since the Japanese pirates have adopted a strategy of resisting at every level, we can't gather a large army to fight steadily and steadily.

The terrain of Dongpu is not suitable for the army to advance. In fact, our three to four million troops can't use much strength together.

Because the road in Dongying is too narrow, once the forward is blocked, we can only wait behind. It is impossible for us to gather an army of 40 to [-] to rush forward.

Every time you advance, the number of people who can really fight the Japanese pirates is actually only a few tens of thousands of horses at most, and the nearly 30 horses behind are basically unable to use their strength.

Therefore, Weichen wanted to divide his troops and attack three or even four kingdoms at once.

In this way, the advance speed of each road is actually similar to the original overall advance speed, and after we adopt the tactics of dividing troops and attacking, the overall advance speed can be increased by three or four times. "

Hearing this, Taichang nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, it's okay for you to divide your troops into five or six routes. When I attacked the central and northern parts of Kyushu, didn't you divide into six routes to attack? What are you hesitating about? If you want to divide your troops, you can divide them." what!"

Uh, the situation here is different from Kyushu Island!

Lu Xiangsheng quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the total number of soldiers from the six countries on Kyushu Island was less than [-] at that time, so it is no problem for us to divide the troops. The problem is that this island is different.

Judging from the last battle in Anon County and the resistance of the following countries, it is not a problem for the Tokugawa shogunate to gather another 40 or [-] troops. Moreover, there is not a single person in their assembled army who can fight. .

At that time, the Weichen still occupied the advantage of the geographical position, and defeated their tens of thousands of elites before they could withstand the [-] Japanese pirates behind!

If the Japanese pirates remember the lesson of that time, and directly join the elite troops and ordinary troops together, it will be troublesome for us to defeat each of them.

In the case of others occupying a favorable location, our 30 infantry may not be able to withstand [-] horses! "

Does this mean that there are not enough manpower?

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help asking: "Do you think the 35 troops of Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion divided into three or four groups are not enough?"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded embarrassingly and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I think that it is safest to have 15 horses for each route."

This is easy to say!
Taichang said without hesitation: "If we don't have enough manpower, we will expand the army. Don't worry, the Western firm has found a big business again. We are not short of money now. You can expand the Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp as you like, and expand to 200. Everything is fine."

Uh, in fact, there is no need to expand to 200 million, and the expansion of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp is almost doubled.

At that time, the troops can be divided into five groups.

With five times the advance speed, the Five Kingdoms can be won in one wave, how cool!
Lu Xiangsheng was also a little crazy at first, he just didn't divide his troops because he was afraid of being defeated by everyone.

Now that the emperor said that the Shenji Battalion and the Shenwu Battalion will be expanded casually, he will naturally expand them like crazy!

After the expansion, there will be a five-way simultaneous advancement, five times faster speed, and the entire Dongpu will be able to win within half a year!
