After the successful conclusion of the wartime imperial meeting, Zhu Cihong returned to the palace and summoned Empress Mingzheng alone.

It's not comfort, it's not pickling girls, it's that Emperor Zhu wants to continue to squeeze the residual value of the empress.

He asked Koko in person, on behalf of the Japanese emperor, to issue an edict to the whole of Japan, announcing the crimes of the Tokugawa shogunate, and calling on the daimyo of all Japan to participate in the fall of the curtain.

Although the Japanese emperor has no real power, and Xingzi is still the emperor who took office, she has been a spiritual symbol of Japan after all, and she is currently the only person with noble blood in the Japanese imperial family.

Once she officially issued an edict on behalf of the emperor to denounce the Tokugawa shogunate, then the Tokugawa shogunate would lose its legitimacy and become a rebellious minister and thief, and the Ming army's eastward movement would be more justifiable.

Men and women are alone in the same room, whether they are talking about business or private affairs, they are in a passive state, and Empress Mingzheng deeply understands this.

In the face of Emperor Zhu's aggressive attitude, the empress had no power to resist, so she had to agree hard.

In fact, dealing with the Tokugawa shogunate is also the goal of Empress Mingzheng, she wants to avenge the two emperor's younger brothers, but she is not very used to Emperor Zhu's behavior. (Coincidentally, the word "wall" originated in Japan)

In an embarrassing and ambiguous atmosphere, Empress Akimasa took the initiative to change the topic and asked: "Today's discussion, Maori They said very reasonably, while the shogunate army has not yet been assembled, we will first defeat the shogunate army in Owari, and then break them one by one, isn't it a good tactic?" Why did Your Majesty delay sending troops and delay the best fighter? ”

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Xingzi, fighting a war is not just talking on paper, you have to learn and apply it." ”

was called by a man in person, and Empress Mingzheng's little heart sped up, secretly saying that the stinky brother in front of her was too profligate.

As a former emperor, Xingzi is also a person who has read military books and has undergone military education, she obviously disagrees with Emperor Zhu's attitude of despising her, so she said: "If you wait for the shogunate army to gather all the men and horses, won't it be difficult to deal with?" Although the Heavenly Army is brave and good at fighting, and its combat power is extremely strong, if it captures this fighter, its own losses will be reduced, right? ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "What you are talking about is conventional tactics, which are completely feasible without considering logistics." ”

Speaking of this, he didn't continue to say, after all, the next words involved the secrets of the Ming army.

According to Zhu Cihong's consideration, the Ming army crossed the ocean, and logistics transportation was very difficult, and the strength of the Ming army was particularly dependent on logistics, and there was no gunpowder, and muskets were not as good as spears.

Since the beginning of the war, the Ming army has won successive battles, conquered several fortified cities in a row, although its own casualties are not large, but each battle consumes a lot of ammunition, especially artillery shells, because of serious scarcity, resulting in future battles, the appearance rate of artillery will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong's plan was to fight a quick battle and resolutely not fight a protracted war with the shogunate army.

What he feared most was that the shogunate would scatter its men and horses and resist step by step, or rely on Japan's mountainous terrain to engage in guerrilla warfare, which would be disgusting.

Now let the Tokugawa shogunate gather all the people and horses, and hit the arms of Emperor Zhu, as long as the Ming army will defeat it with all its strength and severely damage the shogunate army, then after this battle, the Tokugawa shogunate will no longer have any resistance, this is the so-called complete work!

Several Japanese commanders did not know the logistics of the Ming army, and the Empress of the Ming Dynasty was a female streamer and lived in the imperial palace all the year round, so she did not understand these trivial matters.

"How do you say half of what you say?"

Empress Meizheng frowned and said, "I still don't understand, if the Tokugawa Shogunate gathers its men and horses, their strength will be greatly enhanced, and even if we can win in the end, I'm afraid we will pay a lot of price......"

"And what if they are defeated and run back to the Kanto Plain? Do we still have the ability to continue the offensive and wipe them out once and for all? ”

Zhu Cihong said: "My Ming army not only has a powerful army, but also a royal navy that has won all battles!" ”

Empress Ming Zheng then understood that the Ming Emperor was planning to send a naval fleet to attack the Kanto Plain, the rear of the shogunate.

If the Ming army attacked the Kanto Plain and cut off contact with the shogunate army at the front, all their logistical grain and grass supplies would be in the middle, so that if it dragged on for a month at most, the shogunate army would be in chaos without a fight.

Once the shogunate army returns to the division to rescue, the Ming army can follow and pursue, if the shogunate army can set up an ambush on the way back to the Kanto Plain, and chase after it halfway, gather and annihilate it, the harvest will be greater!

Thinking of this, Empress Mingzheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

She had long heard that the Ming Emperor was like a god in his soldiers, winning all battles, and was a natural emperor.

It's just that Empress Mingzheng feels that these are exaggerated praises by literati and rioters, how can a person, especially an emperor, be so good in military affairs, after all, she is the empress herself, so it feels unrealistic......

This obviously belongs to his own technical dishes, and he also said that others are open to the psychological state.

Moreover, in several battles against Japan, Emperor Zhu did not directly command the battles, which made Empress Ming Zheng even more convinced that the Ming Emperor was deified.

However, today's pre-war imperial meeting, she saw with her own eyes that Emperor Zhu presided over the whole process, including the strategies and tactics analyzed now, all of which came from this Ming Emperor who was a few years younger than herself.

Empress Mingzheng suddenly realized that she had greatly underestimated the ability of the handsome man in front of her.

Status, ability, appearance, temperament....... It turns out that a man can be so good!

Empress Mingzheng suddenly felt that she seemed to have a problem: she liked to talk to excellent men.

"What if the Tokugawa shogunate also sent troops to attack our rear?"

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "To attack the enemy's rear, you need to have a strong navy and enough warships, we have it, and the Tokugawa shogunate doesn't have it!"

Now that eighty percent of Japan's sea control is in our hands, the Tokugawa shogunate simply cannot achieve cross-sea operations! ”

Empress Mingzheng said: "Your Majesty, why do you want to force the Sendai Domain to completely break with the Tokugawa Shogunate, even if he does not send troops, at least he will not completely fall to the Tokugawa Shogunate, if we force him to be anxious, maybe he will completely stand on the side of the Shogunate, won't we lose more than we gain?" ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "I have seen too much of the grass on the wall of Date Zhongzong, he just wants to reap the benefits left and right." ”

"They will not rashly send troops to assist one side, they will only stay in the fiefdom and watch the success or failure, and wait until the battle situation between the two sides is clear, and then send troops to join the winning side, so that not only can they preserve their strength, but also be in the company of the victor and pick up a ready-made fruit."

Zhu Cihong continued: "If we and the Tokugawa shogunate are both defeated, the Sendai clan can sit back and reap the profits, do what Tokugawa Ieyasu did back then, and be invincible forever, and I force them to make a choice, that is, we will not let them stay out of the matter again!" ”

Empress Ming Zheng knew that Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Ming army fought a bloody battle in Korea that year, and Tokugawa Ieyasu did not send troops, which greatly preserved his strength and accumulated strength for the future unification of Japan.
