Chapter 1188 Xiao Ruxun Didn't Have a Vacation
The best way to unite two deeply divided groups has never been a charismatic co-leader but an extremely powerful common enemy.

While the two major forces in Japan were preparing for war, Xiao Ruxun did not take a vacation.

In fact, he didn't have time for vacation either. He was convening a high-level strategic meeting with the staff members and army generals in the staff department for the war against the Japanese. Wu Weizhong, who had just returned from Japan, also attended the meeting.

The time was the ninth day of March in the second year of Longwu. The withdrawal of troops from Shijian Town had ended. The Southern soldiers returned to their hometowns in Zhejiang and Fujian, reunited with their families, and enjoyed a one-month or one-and-a-half-month vacation. Go to Tsushima Island and arrive at Tianjin Wei with Wu Weizhong.

There is a navy patrolling in the part of the Tianjin Wei Inner Sea close to the military port. It is a military restricted area and the defense is extremely strict. Generally, no one is allowed to approach.

Before this meeting, Xiao Ruxun chose a date to hold a court meeting.

He gathered the ministers of various departments and the main staff of the cabinet to conduct a high-level meeting of the core decision-making power of the central government of the Great Qin Dynasty. In the meeting, he officially announced the necessity of fighting against Japan.

"Although Japan is a small country compared to my Great Qin, we have to face up to them. They have a population of more than 1000 million. Note that it is 1000 million. Yang Yinglong only occupies one Bozhou, with 16 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people. , we need to mobilize an army of [-] to quell it.

Obviously, the Japanese kingdom is stronger than Yang Yinglong. During the Korean War, I personally led troops to fight against the Japanese kingdom. We have caused trouble. The Korean War was just a concentrated outbreak.

But the Japanese pirates are very powerful in combat. The Japanese pirates also have firearms, guns, cannons, swords, swords and halberds, and even cavalry. In a Korean battle, the Japanese mobilized more than [-] people to participate in the war. The national strength is evident.

Although it was wiped out by Zhen in sevens and eighty-eight, after seven years of recuperation, the strength of Wa Kingdom has recovered a lot, after all, the population is there.

According to informants, the Tokugawa clan in the west can mobilize at least 20 troops to fight, while the Toyotomi clan in the east can mobilize about [-] to [-] troops to fight.

For our army, this battle is a battle to destroy the Japanese, and it is a war to eliminate all threats from the Japanese country in one go. The Japanese country must go all out. possible.

As for our army, there are only [-] troops, [-] infantry, [-] cavalry, [-] marines, and [-] navy.

One hundred thousand to five to six million seems to be a very desperate number, but I also hope that you have not forgotten that ours are elites, and those of Japan are mobs.

It’s not that there are many people and a long gun is an army. The reason why an army is called an army is that it needs to be organized and trained according to military regulations and military laws.

I can put my words here, not to mention that the Japanese pirates mobilized 60 troops to fight, even if he mobilized 100 million troops to fight, he would never want to shake our [-] elites of Great Qin!That is simply impossible! "

Xiao Ruxun slapped the map on the desktop fiercely, and looked around at the generals with excited faces and red eyes, as well as the confident staff officers.

This is of course true, there are 100 million people, but as an agricultural country, if you mobilize 100 million troops, the army will always need food and drink, right?what to eatWhat to drink?Can you support the war consumption of 100 million troops?

With Daqin's current level of national strength, it is very difficult to supply 16 troops for war consumption, let alone Little Japan.

War consumption and daily consumption are completely two concepts.

Consumption in war involves transportation, consumption, and the extreme wall of the empire. This problem does not exist in local consumption for daily consumption. The empire can have a large standing army, but few are mobilized for combat.

"Your Majesty is right, gentlemen, although the Japanese pirates have troops, manpower, materials, equipment, firearms, and generals, the level of training and elite of the Japanese pirate army is far inferior to our Daqin army, that's for sure.

Previously, General Wu Weizhong and Deputy Chief Luo Luo Shangzhi led the army to attack, and the 2 troops destroyed more than [-] troops of the opponent. It can be seen that the training speed of their troops is far from comparable to that of our Great Qin elite, let alone their short-term The mobilized mob was gone.

As His Majesty said, the army is not an army by firing a long gun to organize a group of peasants. It is the self-defense force of the peasant association, not the army. Although we will face a large number of Japanese pirates in this battle, which is beyond imagination, as long as one In the war, the essence of the Japanese pirates who are strong outside but capable in the middle can be seen at a glance! "

Liu Huangshang, Minister of the General Staff Department, gave a full account of Japan's foreign powers and middle-ranking officials at the Great Court Meeting, and won the support of many ministers. Therefore, the Great Qin Dynasty's crusade against Japan was confirmed and began to be arranged.

When the army began to gather at Tianjin Wei Port, Xiao Ruxun called the generals participating in the battle and the staff of the staff department to finalize the strategy and tactics.

After the announcement of the Qin army reorganization plan, the army reorganization has begun. Most of the troops involved in this battle are the army under the jurisdiction of the former Zhuque camp and the frontier army of the former Ming army in the northwest. The commander of the battle is Ma Wei, and the deputy commander is Chai Guozhu. Li Rusong and Wu Weizhong.

The generals of the original Ming army performed very well in many political storms, and Xiao Ruxun was embarrassed to let them live in fear. They are all talented people, especially Li Rusong, so in this battle, Xiao Ruxun decided to give They have a chance.

Then Chai Guozhu and Li Rusong soon jointly wrote a letter to express their gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor, saying that they would fight for the Great Qin Dynasty without risking their lives.

Li Chengliang also personally wrote a memorial to express his gratitude to Xiao Ruxun.

After the founding of the country, the White Tiger Battalion fought, the Xuanwu Battalion fought, the Qinglong Battalion fought, the two Cavalry Battalions and the Navy Battalion participated in the battle, and the Suzaku Battalion was left. Asking for fair treatment, Xiao Ruxun is not good at favoring one another, this time, he gave Suzaku Ying a chance.

Ma Wei attaches great importance to this hard-won opportunity. He has participated in the whole process from the beginning of war planning, which has played a great role in the determination of army mobilization arrangements and strategies and tactics. Now the final confirmation meeting is underway. Ma Wei needs to do something Final note.

He stood beside a hanging map of Japan, pointed at the Hizen country on the westernmost side of Japan with a small wooden stick, and began his explanation.
