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

Chapter 286 Chapter 286: Japan was halfway over its fall, and Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about moving the capital again!

Although Zhu Xifeng is only fourteen years old, anyone who doesn't know his background will only think that he is an adult after meeting him. Now he is about two meters tall, and he gives people a breathless look. Feeling of oppression!

Not to mention the average height of Japanese people who are less than 1.5 meters tall. During the Ming Dynasty, Japanese people were basically only about 1.45 meters tall, and the same was true for men!
He is about 1.6 meters tall, which is considered very tall among Japanese people!

In fact, the average height during this period of the Ming Dynasty was only about 1.6 meters, which was still far behind the modern society of later generations!
The average height is generally about 1.7 meters, which can only be achieved in modern society in later generations!

Therefore, Zhu Xifeng's current big body was definitely an anomaly in the Ming Dynasty, let alone facing these short Japanese people!
Those Japanese daimyo were on the fence and had no confidence in defeating the Ming Dynasty. They were psychologically at a disadvantage.

Not to mention the feeling of embarrassment and hesitation when they saw Zhu Xia Feng, even a slight glare or frown from Zhu Xia Feng could scare them so much that they dared not even take a breath!
Therefore, it is not easy for Zhu Xifeng to find these famous Japanese names who are willing to join him!

In just a few days, there were more than a dozen Japanese famous names who wanted to join Zhu Xifeng. These Japanese famous names all had their own power.

There are thousands of people in small numbers, and tens of thousands in large numbers!

Together, more than a dozen Japanese famous names were directly incorporated into the Puppet Ming Army by Zhu Xifeng. Within a few days, a team of about 150,000 people had been formed!

Although these pseudo-Ming armies were all a mob, even though they numbered 150,000, their combat effectiveness was simply not comparable to that of the Ming army.

"This bunch of puppet soldiers are just clinging to the fence. How do you expect them to really fight for you?"

"In the last half of Japan, it is simply impossible to count on these puppet troops. We have to do it ourselves!"

"They are all Japanese anyway, so even if we lose everything, I won't feel bad at all!"

"That's not possible. Just because we don't count on them doesn't mean we won't use them!"

"If they weren't afraid of death, they wouldn't have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty!"

From the beginning of the attack on Japan, Lan Yu was able to give Zhu Xia Feng some suggestions and experience. Now Zhu Xia Feng has gradually taken control of the entire battlefield situation, becoming more and more like a qualified commander, and Lan Yu has also given Zhu Xia Feng some advice and experience. The role of jade in front of Zhu Xifeng is getting smaller and smaller!
In other words, Zhu Xiafeng was born for fighting. In such a short period of time, he was able to completely adapt to the battlefield and adapt to his identity as a commander, which also made Lan Yu couldn't help but be impressed!
Now facing Zhu Xifeng, even Lan Yu didn't dare to be too big!

"Then how do you think this battle should be fought next?"

"Isn't this a normal thing?"

Zhu Xifeng shook his head seriously.

In this way, in just about two months, most of the area west of Nara in Japan has fallen under the control of the Ming army. It can be said that half of Japan has been completely controlled by Zhu Xifeng!

However, as he pushed further north, Zhu Xifeng discovered that the resistance of these Japanese people became more and more fierce!
After all, most of the early losers had already defected to the Ming army and became the pseudo-Ming army. The remaining ones were basically die-hards, a group of people who advocated fighting to the death with the Ming Dynasty!

Lan Yu asked tentatively.

Lan Yu, who had just withdrawn from the front line, said somewhat helplessly after seeing Zhu Xifeng.

Lan Yu nodded thoughtfully and then asked.

"The general understands!"

"Commander, the puppet Ming army has suffered heavy casualties in recent days. Those die-hards have already killed these puppet troops!"

Zhu Xifeng waved his hand disapprovingly.

"Although this group of people can't fight in a frontal battlefield, it's a good choice to let them hide in the dark and make sneak attacks, even if they fan the flames. Wouldn't it be a waste if they don't use it?"

"It makes these puppet troops no longer dare to work hard. It is getting more and more difficult to rely on these puppet troops to fight a war of attrition with the opponent!"

"Let these puppet troops withdraw from the front line?"

It is estimated that if there are 20,000 to 30,000 Ming troops, they can sweep away these 150,000 mobs!
But even so, this is a force that can play a role. Let them rush to the front and fight a war of attrition with the Japanese army. No matter whether they win or lose, all the people who are consumed are Japanese people. Zhu Xifeng is not at all. Don't feel bad!
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty only need to follow these pseudo-Ming armies to take advantage of the situation, or take action at the appropriate time to decide the outcome of the battlefield.

And he will seek Zhu Xifeng's opinion as soon as possible.

"The order goes down. Except for those Japanese people who have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, as long as they do not surrender and submit to the Ming Dynasty, young adults aged 15 to 40 years old and capable of resisting will all be hanged!"

Zhu Xifeng narrowed his eyes and gave instructions in a cold tone.

"What if these people surrender too?"

Lan Yu asked with a frown.

"Don't accept it!"

"Except for the daimyo who originally surrendered to us and their troops, it's already too late for everyone else to surrender!"

"But for those ordinary people who want to flee south, if they are young adults and are willing to join the puppet army, we can give them the opportunity to make meritorious deeds!"

"If you don't want to, then you will also die!"

Zhu Xifeng sneered disapprovingly.

The total population of those daimyo who have surrendered, including their tribesmen and the power they control, has actually reached around one million!
And among them, about 150,000 young and middle-aged people were basically integrated into the camp of the Ming and puppet armies!
In other words, among these people, there are about 700,000 to 800,000 old, young, women, and children.

On this basis, even if all the remaining Japanese young adults were killed, Zhu Xifeng would not feel any distress at all!

What kind of prisoners do you want?

If this is massacre, then massacre!
If you can give the other party a chance to join the puppet army and turn the gun around and go dog-eat-dog, you are already giving them the greatest chance!
In fact, there was no massacre, it was all for the sake of unification!

For the unification of the Ming Dynasty, the kingdom of heaven, and for Japan to become a part of the Ming Dynasty forever!

As for how many old, young, women, and children will be left after all these young adults die, that is another matter!
Infants, or children between the ages of three and six, can all be pardoned. The Ming court will also provide free education to them in the future, allowing them to directly receive Han education and start Chineseization from an early age!
The imperial court will teach them literacy and teach them how to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic!

As for women, no matter how many are left by then, they will definitely have to marry Han Chinese, and the children born will naturally be Han Chinese!

Not to mention the old man, there is no need to kill him, he will be dead in a few years!
In this way, in one generation at most, Japan can be completely controlled by the Han people. Coupled with the migrating Han people, it can at least ensure that the number of Han people far exceeds the number of Japanese people in a short period of time!
According to Zhu Xifeng's plan, after the war in Japan is over and the entire Japan is completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty, the population of Japan must be controlled at least two million people!

And among the two million people, most of them are old, weak, women and children. The real young and middle-aged people are only 30% at most, which is only 600,000 to 700,000!
After a generation of Chinese culture and intermarriage, of the two million people left in the end, it would be great to have one million!

By that time, the Han people had already grown in Japan, with a population of at least two to three million! So, do you still need to worry about how much trouble these Dongying natives can make?
And even if they are Japanese, their children will receive Chinese education from an early age. Even if they retain their race, they will still be influenced by Chinese culture!

Even if there are still Japanese people with different stubborn ideas, they won’t be able to do it by then!

"The general understands!"

"Our soldiers have had enough rest during this period. It's time to let those Japanese people see the true strength of the Ming Dynasty soldiers!"

After listening to Zhu Xifeng's instructions, Lan Yu suddenly became energetic and her tone became cold and stern!
For more than a month before, these puppet troops and Japanese people had been fighting dog by dog, and the Ming soldiers actually did not contribute much.

As for Lan Yu and his group of Huaixi generals, they haven't even shown their abilities yet!
Now that Zhu Xifeng wants to play hard, Lan Yu and the others naturally want it!
……

Xi'an Mansion.

As news of good news came from Japan one after another, the civil and military officials of the entire court were excited!

No matter what, it is a fact that the Ming Dynasty has been victorious in Japan. Even the ministers in the court who do not support the invasion of Japan can only keep their mouths shut at this moment!
At this time, if they dare to speak out and say good things to Japan, they are definitely out of their minds, and it is no different from seeking death!
Although these civil servants are stubborn in their thinking, it does not mean that they cannot understand the situation. They are so stubborn that they dare to "give honest advice" even though they know that they will die!
In the imperial garden, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue looked at the latest good news in their hands, with a smile on their faces.

"Feng'er performed well this time, he looks like a commander-in-chief!"

"When Lan Yu wrote the letter, he even praised him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the good news in his hand and said with a smile.

Zhu Yue also nodded with satisfaction.

Although the kid Zhu Xifeng has a bit of a fierce personality, he was definitely born for the battlefield. He has his own keen judgment on the control of war, and his vision and thinking are not comparable to those of normal people!
Even Lan Yu's group of Huaixi nobles have no advantage in front of Zhu Xifeng!

Perhaps before this, the only thing Zhu Xifeng lacked was battlefield experience!
But this battle in Japan was enough for him to make up for these experiences!

Carrying out large-scale operations in a small but densely populated place like Japan is the greatest test of the commander's ability!
If Zhu Xifeng successfully defeats Japan, he will be more able to navigate the vast and sparsely populated battlefields of Mobei in the future!

Of course, there are fundamental differences between Mobei and Japan. The same method that works in Japan may not work in Mobei!

But the key point is that Zhu Xia Feng is too familiar with Mobei. It is said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be able to fight a hundred battles. In this regard, compared with Lan Yu and the nobles, Zhu Xia Feng also has an advantage!

"The fact that he can think of recruiting those Japanese wall-riding factions and then forming some kind of puppet army can be regarded as a bit clever for this kid!"

"If it were Lao Si Ye'er, I'm afraid his methods would be much more radical than his!"

Zhu Yue said with a smile.

"Ye'er is only nine years old now and is still on Dingjun Mountain. If we count on him, Japan will have to wait at least a few years to conquer it!"

"We can't wait that long anymore!"

"Besides, Dongying let Feng'er fight down, which can be regarded as helping Ye'er!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head noncommittally.

Zhu Xiaye and Zhu Xiafeng are different. Zhu Xiaye will not show any mercy towards Japan, and the casualties will only be more tragic than now!
It is not wrong to say that Zhu Xia Feng helped Zhu Xia Ye. At least the stain about the Japanese massacre would not exist on Zhu Xia Ye!
"Now that half of Japan's territory has been conquered by Feng'er, this kid will also make demands now!"

Zhu Yue couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the note written by Zhu Xiafeng.

"Just promise him. This is his first expedition, so we can't dissuade the child's enthusiasm!"

"The conditions he proposed are not excessive, so I agree to them all!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand disapprovingly.

"That's natural, this guy didn't disappoint me!"

Zhu Li smiled and nodded.

Zhu Yue naturally supports Zhu Xifeng. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't say it, he will do it!
"By the way, how is the construction progress of the railway track from Peking to North Korea?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a change of subject.

"It's almost completed, and we can try to open it to traffic in the spring!"

"At that time, it will be much faster to arrive in North Korea from Beiping Prefecture and take the train directly, that is, you can arrive in one day!"

"It will be more convenient if we send additional troops from Peiping to North Korea or Japan!"

When Zhu Li heard this, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

The number of troops stationed in the northeast is still quite considerable. Putting aside the troops controlled by the vassal kings, the imperial army alone has about 200,000.

And these 200,000 troops can be mobilized immediately during wartime.

If we send troops directly from the Northeast, take a train into North Korea, and then from North Korea to Japan, we can reach Japan in up to three to five days!

And as the railway line between Xi'an and Beiping is about to be completed, it will be much faster to mobilize troops from the interior!
However, on the Japanese battlefield, Zhu Xifeng and the others have been suppressing the Japanese army. The Ming Dynasty's army did not suffer too many casualties. The original army of 300,000 lost less than 20,000. There is no need to rush to replenish troops for the time being. of!
It is estimated that the remaining 200,000 yuan is enough to capture the entire Japan!

"Okay!"

"When the war in Japan is over, it's time to consider moving the capital to Beiping!"

"Let the Fourth Brother do something about it. Doesn't he like Nanyang? Let him go and conquer his fief personally!"

"Beiping will naturally be freed up by then!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said.
