Chen De, Wei Yun, Mao Shi and Zhao Qiming sat in a ring chair, looking at Yang Wei on the stage, and quietly listening to the report.

The written report has been copied and sent to the four people, but Yang Wei still needs to explain it personally and ask questions and answers to questions that have not been explained clearly in the report.

"The officials think it is normal for our division to defeat the 100,000 Japanese army." Yang Wei said.

Regarding the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the Ming and Japanese troops, conservatively believe that one to ten can be achieved.

First of all, the Ming army's firearm ratio is high.

Secondly, Japan is still using a clamp gun, with a firing rate of only one-third of the Ming army's flintlock rifle, and a firing speed of one-third of the Ming army. This shows that during the Japanese army's volley, the Ming army can already carry out three volleys.

Considering that most of the Japanese soldiers were temporary militias, the advantage in firing rate will be highlighted more intuitive. Moreover, their morale cannot be comparable to that of the Ming soldiers who trained and received brainwashing all day long.

In addition to the organizational model, the influence bonus of artillery, logistics supply, and individual soldier quality... it is only a matter of time before it can defeat the Japanese army.

"However, it is probably necessary to occupy the entire Japan with a total army of 500,000, and it will take nearly a hundred years." Yang Wei said: "Since the shogunate issued the order of one country and one city, there was only one city in each Japanese vassal state, which was very easy to break. But after breaking the city, ruling was a difficult problem. In addition to Japan's "Ikki" tradition, our army must be prepared to deal with large-scale accidents.

"Japanese Confucianism is called Zhuzixue, and it has not yet left the temple. It is unlike North Korea that has the foundation of royalization.

"The Japanese samurai still has the same nature as the Warring States Period, and they are not ashamed of the 'lower defeating the superior'. However, their people are cold and weak, and even if our court raises them well, they may not be able to change their customs.

"Finally, the output of the four islands of Japan is not worth the military capital consumed by the 500,000 army." Yang Wei first listed the adverse impact on the Ming Dynasty.

Chen De and others have considered these issues long ago and agree with Yang Wei's analysis. If we look at it from the perspective of the military stationed in North Korea, it is a loss and risky thing to conquer Japan, and it is enough to open up Japan's trade.

"The Xiaguan suggested that it would be more appropriate to divide the Japanese work into four to five stages according to the Holy Emperor's Northern Expedition strategy." Yang Wei hung up a large piece of rice paper with a wide open surface. It said the strategy stage he had defined.

"In the first stage, we contacted the Ming Dynasty, which was a counter-scene Ming Dynasty in Kyushu, China (Japan China) and other regions, established strongholds, opened trade routes, moved troops, and cultivated our vanguard army in Japan. Just as our army is currently doing in the Ma Fan and the Changzhou Fan, as long as we further tied them to our chariots, the mission in the first stage can be declared successful.

"In the second stage, we will take advantage of the conflicts between the Japanese shogunate, provoking civil strife again and dragging Japan into the Warring States Period so that our army can compete with each other and obtain Japan's metal, wood, and human resources. At that time, our army will serve as a staff officer to provide tactical opinions, but the main force of the combat should be the Japanese, and we can only help in key battles.

"The third stage. Immigration from North Korea and the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to speed up the speed of royalization. The officials did not know how North Korea carried out. However, in Japan, it could fully adopt the policy of "going out of the Han Dynasty" to move Japanese manpower to Haixi, Taiwan, Australia and other places, and use the Han people to cultivate Japanese land.

"In the fourth stage, civil servants of the court need to be dispatched. That is, using grain and arms as export commodities, inducing Japanese countries to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms to draw silk. Especially Kyushu Island is in southern Japan. The climate is similar to our country, Huizhou, Zhejiang, and we can try to promote it.

"Silks can make full use of women's labor, so that more men can join the army, thus ensuring that Daming in Kyushu and other places has abundant military resources and their dependence on our army.

"The fifth stage of the officials did not write it. In short, they were eroding step by step, establishing Mingren villages, communities, towns, and eventually becoming the masters of this place."

Yang Wei listed the specific implementation methods of the four stages, which made Chen De and others appreciated. His most powerful thing was that he enriched the overall outline of the Army Staff Headquarters and formulated a timetable, but there was no point in the violation of the outline, so that the Grand Governor's Office would not make him think that Chen De was making a proposition again.

The second is the in-depth and extensive national conditions of Japan. The Japanese have a history of silkworms for thousands of years and are not unfamiliar with this method of production. It is just that because the land is small and the people are large, the land needs to be used to grow crops, so it is impossible to produce silk in large quantities like the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty could use grain for adjustment, most of the Ming Dynasty in Jiuzhou would be willing to exchange silk for grain.

As Yang Wei said, this is related to the number of troops they have.

The number of troops in the source of troops determines the power of Daming's voice and influence, as well as the size of the territory.

"All measures do not violate the national conditions and customs, which is commendable!" Zhao Qiming first acknowledged.

"In this way, our army will not have a major combat mission." Mao Shi was a little disappointed: "But this is good, using Korean soldiers to fight is really scary."

For fear of turning against you at any time.

Chen De looked at Wei Yun and did not make any comments on Yang Wei's Japanese strategy plan, but said to Wei Yun: "This kind of talent should be transferred to our North Korean Division General Staff."

Wei Yun grinned and refused to comment.

How easy is it to transfer people from the General Staff? The General Staff always transfers anyone who sees him. It’s like a glutinous rice rooster rolling sesame seeds. Not only does it not pull off a single penny, but it will not relax if it sticks to it.

Yang Wei stood on the top, scratched the back of his head, and said, "Do you need to report on the connection between the first and second stages?"

"No need, print the manuscript first." Chen De waved his hand.

"But the subordinates have some objections to the established plan." Yang Wei said as usual: "Before the end of the first phase, it is obviously not enough to focus on supporting Tsuma and the two feudals of the Choshu. Our army should support a daimyo on Kyushu Island as a target; or instigate Ikki, or even occupy a piece of land directly to let the shogunate attack."

"Why is this?" Chen De was stunned.

"The Tokugawa clan has occupied the world for three generations, and the shogunate system has become increasingly stubborn. If you don't open a breakthrough and hit the prestige of the shogunate, other daimyos will not have any unfair intentions." Yang Wei said simply.

Chen Deming.

The same was true at the time of the Ming Dynasty. Because it was unable to quickly extinguish the unrest of refugees, it triggered more mutiny and refugees. If the Tokugawa shogunate could not resolve the rebellion of Kyushu, it would inevitably give other foreign Daming a signal: now we can reconsider the ownership of the world's authority.

"Who do you choose?" Wei Yun asked.

"The lower officials think that the best strategy is to mobilize the people of Nagasaki." Yang Wei said: "Our army will directly take over Nagasaki's defense."

There are more than 10,000 Chinese merchants in Nagasaki, and many of them are no different from the Japanese. Ruling Nagasaki is like ruling the Han area, which is not easy to cause public riots. Moreover, Nagasaki is also Japan's only external window. If occupied by the Ming army, the source of the shogunate's economic source will be greatly affected.

Most importantly, the Nagasaki Channel has been through hundreds of years and is very mature, which facilitates various support from the Ming and North Korea.

"Aren't you worried that the Japanese will share the same hatred of the enemy and expel our army before the collapse of the curtain?" Wei Yun continued to ask.

"Don't worry," said Yang Wei, "our army can openly sell artillery and artillery medicine in Nagasaki."

Although Japan entered the era of unification in name and ended the Warring States turmoil, Daming, the secretly planned anti-shog movement has never stopped. No one can give up his vested interests for the benefit of the shogunate. Moreover, under the Kazuko-Kami Kazuki's thoughts, Daming, who did not want to collapse, was not a good vassal lord.

The Tokugawa clan has occupied the resources of all Japan and issued a one country and one city order, prohibiting the construction of a second castle on the land of each vassal. This is obviously a vicious method to cut off people's meridians. If the foreign daimyos do not enhance their military power, they may be eaten to the point of no bones left in the future.

"Where are you going to put this time?" Wei Yun asked.

"After our army attacked the Satsuma Fan Shimazu family." Yang Wei said confidently.

Chen De was a little surprised.

"The General Staff has a plan to attack Shimazu?" Chen De asked.

"There are such rumors in the mansion, and Yu Tu also mentioned them." Yang Wei said: "Since the emperor arranged for the exile officials to go to Ryukyu when he was in the secret residence, I am afraid the court has made a secret arrangement. It has been five or six years since then, and it is impossible to allow the Shimazu family to continue to eat Ryukyu, so this battle will surely begin."

"Once war starts against the Satsuma clan, our army will instigate Nagasaki Ikki and then land in Japan on the grounds of protecting the expatriates. It makes sense and reason. We also have an explanation for our allies so that they will not be suspicious." Wei Yun took over the conversation.

Yang Wei nodded and said yes.

After the clues were clear, Chen De couldn't help but try and said, "I just don't know when our army will attack Shimazu and which unit will be responsible for the battle."

Yang Wei turned his head slightly and said, "After the South China Sea Fleet occupied Malacca, it will inevitably draw troops to help form the East China Sea Fleet. The battle against Shimazu should be the champion of the East China Sea Fleet."

"You don't look big with your eyes, but there are quite a few places you have swept! I'll tell you this, from south to north, from east to west, the whole world is like a big chessboard!" Mao Shi said with a loud laugh.

"The Colonel is over-reputable." Yang Wei's face turned red.

"Okay, just wait for them!" Chen Dedao: "It just so happens that we need time to train war soldiers, otherwise Nagasaki may not be able to defend them."

"We also need to stockpile a lot of cement and boards." Yang Wei reminded: "Since the promotion of the one country and one city order, there are very few Japanese castles, and the lack of fortifications is not conducive to the city defense battles that our army is best at. Our army can first build some unobtrusive bamboo and wood walls everywhere, leaving them blank in the middle. Once an attack occurs, it will be filled with the reserved cement. On weekdays, it can also quickly turn into a fire road pier. In this way, our army can build dozens of military forts in ten days!"

For the Japanese army lacking heavy firepower, such a military fort can indeed be regarded as a strong city. (To be continued...)
