Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 282 Chapter 282: How long will it take for Zhu Xifeng to defeat Japan?

Honorable Huaixi, most of the generals have never seen the latest steam engine warships of the Ming Dynasty, so after seeing these huge warships, one can imagine the shock on their faces!
Especially the artillery mounted on these warships made everyone's eyes brighten.

On each warship, there are at least a dozen artillery pieces, located in the four directions, front, rear, left and right, which means that targets on all sides are within the bombardment range of the warship!
What shocked these Huaixi nobles even more was the speed of this steam engine warship!
This speed, compared to traditional wooden sailboats, is simply not that fast!

Wooden sailboats are too dependent on wind speed and direction. Unlike this steam engine-powered warship, no matter whether it is windy or not, no matter what the wind is, you can go wherever you want without any problems!

Of course, the prerequisite is not to risk your life by traveling during a typhoon!
But having said that, even if it really encounters typhoon weather, the wind resistance of a steam engine warship is not even a bit stronger than that of a traditional wooden sailboat!
But compared to others, such as Zhu Xifeng and Lan Yu, they are much calmer!
Although they saw steam-powered warships for the first time in the Hongwu Dynasty, when they followed Zhu Yuanzhang through later generations, the warships or warships they saw were much more powerful than these steam-powered ships!
So relatively speaking, Zhu Xiafeng and Lan Yu didn't show much excitement about these steam engine warships, and even looked a little disgusted with some aspects!
Just like the speed of the ship, it is much worse than the speed of later generations!

And this firepower is far from the terrifying level of those warships of later generations!
But they also know that this is the Hongwu Dynasty, and it is not easy to achieve this step. What more bicycles do you want?

And even such a steam engine warship is now enough to make Ming Dynasty the top naval power. For any country, it is definitely a dimensionality reduction strike!

While others were still on the warship, like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, Zhu Xifeng and Lan Yu were in the largest cabin, drinking wine and making complaints about the warship.

It's nothing more than comparing the warships of later generations with the warships of today!

"I wonder when we will be able to build such awesome battleships as we will see in future generations?"

Of course, there are definitely more women than men!
Hearing Zhu Xifeng's explicit words, Lan Yu's face flashed with surprise, but she quickly calmed down.

"Issues in this area are not within my consideration. You should know that with a population of tens of millions, we cannot be considered a minority!"

Lan Yu's ability was naturally well-known, and Zhu Xifeng also valued him very much.

Just like what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue said before he went on the expedition, this Eastern Expedition was an excellent opportunity for him to become famous in one battle, so he not only had to win, but he also had to win beautifully!

When Zhu Xifeng said this, he sneered disapprovingly, as if doing so was a matter of course!
In fact, before the expedition, Zhu Yue and Zhu Yuanzhang both revealed one thing to him, that is, they asked him to let go and fight!

Zhu Xifeng grinned when he heard this, but then his smile faded, and a cold and stern look flashed in his eyes!
woman?

Of course, you can’t just kill everyone on sight!

The answer is obvious!

Lan Yu looked confident. Of course, he also had the capital to be confident.

"But with our firepower and scale, we will definitely have no problem sweeping Japan. Winning will be a matter of time!"

Zhu Xifeng changed the subject and was too lazy to continue the discussion on the issue of warships. Anyway, the more comparisons he made, the more upset he became. He was just looking for trouble for himself!

"The commander-in-chief is right!"

"Then look at how hard their bones are!"

Zhu Xifeng nodded in agreement and began to discuss with Lan Yu.

"Only those who are willing to surrender and join me, the Ming Dynasty, are qualified to live. As for the others...if all the men are dead, women will not be a big problem!"

"When Duke Liang returns home in triumph, it would be a beautiful thing if he brings dozens of Japanese women back, even if they serve as maids serving tea and water in the house!"

In fact, with the scale and firepower of the Ming Dynasty, they are absolutely crushing the Japanese. Even without Zhu Xifeng, any one of the Huaixi nobles can be the coach and they can win!
Zhu Xifeng naturally wanted to do his best, so he changed his past arrogant temper and humbly accepted some suggestions put forward by Lan Yu and other generals.

Looking at the entire court, he, Lan Yu, is second to none in terms of fighting!

He is indeed qualified to say this!
"That's right. I mean the same thing. What do you think we should do in Japan?"

"Japan has a population of tens of millions, so Duke Liang is worried that there will be no women?"

Regarding the numerous crimes committed by the Japanese nation against the Han people in original history, Zhu Yue and Zhu Yuanzhang had already told Zhu Xifeng, so there was no question of him being soft-hearted at all!

He, Zhu Xifeng, is also interested!
Didn’t I see that his biggest hobby is visiting brothels?

In fact, Lan Yu and other generals also discussed this issue before the expedition.

How to turn a nation with a population of tens of millions into a minority?

Moreover, I also learned about some Japanese folk customs in private, and I am particularly enthusiastic about certain aspects of things!

"Our main consideration is how to win this victory at the minimum cost!"

In fact, if you want to turn Japan into a minority, you only need to reduce the proportion of young adults in Japan as much as possible.

Regardless of whether they are men or women, what percentage of them will survive in the end?

"Don't Japan advocate some bushido spirit?"

Lan Yu also traveled through the period of Emperor Ji Wu in later generations. Although he had not been to Japan in person, he had seen some situations in Japan from the Internet and videos.

Where are the immortals in war?
Isn't it normal for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to casually die on the battlefield?
Although the entire Japan has a population of tens of millions, the number of young adults aged 20-40 is only about to % at most.

This time, having the opportunity to follow Zhu Xifeng to conquer Japan in person, Lan Yu unconsciously remembered some of the things she learned about Japan when she traveled through time!

"Our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty worked so hard on the sea crossing expedition. After all, we have to give each soldier a little wife, or a little maid or something, right?"

Of course, with his current achievements, he is definitely incomparable with the three outliers Zhu Xia Feng, Zhu Xia Xuan and Zhu Xia Ye in the future, but at least the current Ming Dynasty's strongest general on the surface is still his Lan Yu.

Just kill them into minorities!

Two to three million people will die if they die!

In this process, does it matter whether a woman is a woman or not?

Thinking of those Ming warships three hundred years later, Lan Yu even had the urge to drool!
It’s really incomparable!
"Don't think about it now, the issue we need to consider now is how to take down Japan!"

However, as the two of them chatted, the conversation gradually became distorted!
"Those Japanese girls are really good. They have conquered territory later. What are you going to do with these ladies?"

Moreover, Japanese women seem to have the talent of being self-taught in this area. How could Zhu Xifeng let it go so easily?

But these are secondary issues. The most important issue is how to turn Japan into a minority!

He knows better than Lan Yu and the others that it is natural for this nation's ambition to turn them into a minority!
"This...if it goes too far, the prince and your majesty, shouldn't..."

Lan Yu was somewhat hesitant.

"Don't worry, if my father comes to Japan in person, it will only make things worse for them, so there is no need to bear any psychological burden!"

"If you don't do this, you might still get scolded!"

Zhu Xifeng waved his hand disapprovingly. Lan Yu has also traveled through time, and naturally knows how Zhu Yue and Zhu Xiaye, father and son, treated Japan in the history of that time and space!

"It seems that we are still going to follow the old path of General Chang Yuchun!"

After Lan Yu figured it out, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Chang Yuchun's military exploits were so outstanding, why couldn't he enter the martial arts temple?
Isn't it because he has too many stains such as massacre of cities and indiscriminate killing of innocent people?

"Why do you, Duke Liang, still think about being able to enter the martial arts temple after death?"

Seemingly sensing Lan Yu's thoughts, Zhu Xia Feng sneered disapprovingly.

"We don't have such extravagant hopes. If we can leave a portrait on the Ming Dynasty Dragon Yuan coin, we will be satisfied!"

Lan Yu shook his head slowly, he still had this bit of self-awareness!
"Actually, our situation is different from Chang Yuchun's. Many of the people he massacred were Han Chinese. This is the fundamental reason why he was targeted by so many civil servants!"

"If it were just the massacre of the Tatars, that would be a different story!"

"Are there any Han people in Japan?"

"Even if we kill them all, what does it matter?"

"If anyone dares to blatantly plead for mercy from the Japanese... Hehe... there is no need to wait for us to take action, my father and Grandpa Huang will not be able to let them go!"

Zhu Xifeng sneered disapprovingly.

"What the commander said is absolutely true. We, Lao Lan, have never thought about this!"

"Then just do what the commander wants!"

"Let's try to kill all the men in Japan who can fight, and just leave some obedient dogs!"

Lan Yu nodded with deep understanding and laughed.

Neither Zhu Xifeng nor Lan Yu are good men and women, let alone on the battlefield. They will never be merciful to the Japanese!
"With the speed of our warships, we should be able to reach North Korea tomorrow night and join the 100,000-strong navy!"

"After arriving in North Korea, rest for a day, and then directly cross the sea to march eastward!"

"My uncle's death has given the Japanese people a few more months of freedom. It's an advantage for them!"

Zhu Xifeng said with murderous intent at this moment.

Zhu Xifeng and Lan Yu were responsible for crossing the sea from North Korea and attacking Japan from the northwest.

There are also 100,000 Daming navy troops who have arrived and stationed in the north of Ryukyu Kingdom.

They will attack Japan from the south!
And the general of these 100,000 navy is the great eunuch Zheng He who has been training navy for the Ming Dynasty!

Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang would not let go of the talent Zheng He. After acquiring him from Zhu Di, he also gave him the surname Zheng and made him responsible for naval training.

In terms of naval warfare, Zheng He is indeed a talented person who can stand alone, so the 100,000 troops along the southern route are naturally left to Zheng He to lead!
"I hope that boy Zheng He can be ruthless and don't play the trick of being kind to women!"

Lan Yu nodded slowly.

"If he can't be ruthless, I will help him to be ruthless!"

"After landing in Japan, I will naturally have a good talk with him!"

"The great eunuch who was able to lead the fleet to the Western Ocean seven times in history would naturally not be a soft-hearted and good man!"

Zhu Xifeng said with confidence. Obviously, he still hates and has confidence in Zheng He.

……

Xi'an Mansion, Imperial Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue, father and son, were drinking tea and chatting in the imperial garden.

"Feng'er and the others have been on the expedition for more than ten days. They should have reached the sea by now, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"Given the time, we should arrive in North Korea tomorrow!"

Zhu Yue nodded.

This means that the railway from Kaifeng to Shandong has not yet been repaired, otherwise it would not have lasted so long. The current railway only runs from Xi'an Prefecture to Kaifeng. Later, the railway line was divided into north and south, with one heading south to Yingtian Prefecture. One direction goes north to Beiping Mansion.

The railway between Yingtian and Peiping is almost completed recently, and I believe it will be officially opened to traffic in less than a year!
Now the railway between Xi'an Prefecture and Hanzhong Prefecture has been operating smoothly for nearly two years. There are more than a dozen trains traveling from Xi'an Prefecture to Hanzhong Prefecture every day. On average, there is one train from both sides every hour. Departure!

This also greatly facilitates the travel between the two places, as well as logistics and transportation!

It only takes an hour to take the train from Xi'an to Hanzhong, and the round trip only takes two hours. It's so convenient!

"This guy has such a good temperament that once he gets to the battlefield, no one will be able to restrain him!"

"But this kid is also a good fighter, and we are very reassured about him!",

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded.

"Those who should be restrained should be restrained, lest this kid's tail will rise to the sky when he comes back!"

Zhu Yue said noncommittally.

"It's up to you to be the villain, we don't have that intention!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he waved his hand simply.

Now he just wants to have a good relationship with his grandchildren. He doesn't want to worry about other things, which should be things that Zhu Li, a father, should worry about!

"How long do you think it will take Feng'er to defeat Japan?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a change of subject.

ps: Brothers, can you humbly ask for a few free recommendation votes? I beg you on your knees!
