Inside the Hall of Eternal Life.

When Yang Qinglin and several loyal ministers saw the Japanese letters, they were all indignant.

How dare the Japanese from the island country come to the Tang Empire to pick peaches?

Is this overestimating yourself or looking down on the Tang Empire?

On the dragon throne, a trace of coldness flashed in Li Si's eyes.

Regarding this Japan, Li Si originally thought that if he had the chance in the future, he would take action to erase it.

Now let it survive for a while.

But Li Si did not expect that he ignored Japan, but the other party came to him on his own initiative.

And he also made a lot of requests, as if the superiors were asked to do what the Tang Empire did?

How could Li Si tolerate this?

"What do you know about Japan?" Li Si narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the ministers.

Since Japan is so proactive, Li Si must satisfy the other party.

“Oddian…”

The emperor's words made Yang Qinglin and others hesitate on their faces.

They have indeed heard of Japan more or less, but if they know more, it would be impossible.

Even if the Minister of Rites is like this, the minister who is specialized in diplomacy does not know much about Japan, an overseas island country.

"Your Majesty, I only have a few words to understand Japan, but the governor of the East Factory is in charge of the world's intelligence. I believe I know Japan better than us."

After a moment, Yang Qinglin said carefully.

“That’s right.”

Li Si nodded slightly.

really.

If anyone in Chang'an City knows the most about Japan, it is Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun entered the East Factory, and the East Factory had world-class intelligence, and news about Japan must be included.

"It is said that Cao Zhengchun entered the palace."

Li Si just finished speaking.

"Abide by the order."

The eunuch who was close to the servant retreated and went to the East Factory to read the emperor's decree to Cao Zhengchun.

When Cao Zhengchun learned that the emperor had summoned him, he immediately put down all the matters and went to the palace to meet the saint.

Half an hour later.

Cao Zhengchun walked into the Hall of Eternity and said respectfully: "I have met Your Majesty."

"I'm asking you something."

Li Si waved his hand, asked Cao Zhengchun to get up, and then said, "What do you know about Japan?"

"Yangtze?"

Cao Zhengchun was slightly stunned, and all the information about Japan suddenly appeared in his mind.

After a while, Cao Zhengchun tentatively said: "Your Majesty wants to know what kind of news about Japan..."

"You just talk about it."

"I just want to know the reality of Japan."

Li Si paused for a moment when he said this, and a trace of murderous intent flashed through his words: "And how many troops are needed to destroy Japan."

The emperor's murderous words shocked Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun felt a little pitiful to Japan...

Although I don’t know why Japan provoked His Majesty, it is obvious that Japan may not exist for long...

"Abide by the order."

Cao Zhengchun thought for a while and immediately said, "Your Majesty, there is not much war in Japan now. The Emperor of Japan is the supreme ruler of Japan. In addition, there is a daimyo in the local area."

"Although these daimyos need to obey the emperor's mobilization in their name, in fact, daimyos can recruit samurai and ignore the emperor."

"It's just that because of the mutual restraint between the names of the great names, Japan can maintain a relatively stable situation."

...

Cao Zhengchun quickly told the truth about everything he knew about Japan.

According to Cao Zhengchun, in Japan, the emperor is currently the nominal ruler.

But in fact, Japan has been divided into small areas by various big names, just like China.

These great names are not up to their strengths.

But even the most powerful Daming is only under thousands of troops.

As for the weak Daming, he may not even have a hundred under his command...

The entire Japanese island country, all under Daming, are probably less than 100,000...

As for the strong, there are only a handful of them.

There is not a single god and demon realm in the entire Japanese Kingdom.

"No god or demon?" Li Si was slightly surprised.

Even a vassal state like Goryeo has a god and demon, but there is not a single god in Japan?

"Your Majesty, no powerful people in the God-Demon Realm have been found in the information."

"But Lao Nu guessed that Japan is very likely, and there are indeed no gods and demons in charge."

"Because, if a god or demon was born in Japan, Japan would not be in the current situation."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said.

If the island country with less than 100,000 troops in Japan really had a god or demon, it would have been abolished, rather than the situation that seemed calm but was actually undercurrent.

Moreover, if Gods and Demons were really born in Japan, the Tang Empire would not know nothing.

Therefore, even Li Si felt that Japan had no gods and demons.

Thinking about this, Li Si felt that Japan was extremely ridiculous.

An island country that has never been born even gods and demons, dares to attack the Tang Empire?

"Your Majesty, if you want to destroy Japan, with the elite level of our Tang army, you can only sweep the entire island nation of Japan with only 50,000."

Cao Zhengchun thought for a moment and said respectfully.

This is a number that Cao Zhengchun said just because he is safe.

Otherwise, with the current national strength shown by Japan, ten thousand troops will be enough to level it.

Today, Japan, Daming only has his own interests in his eyes and will not obey the Emperor's orders at all. If the army of the Tang Empire is approaching, what will Japan use to resist?

"What if it is destroyed?"

"I want the entire Japanese island country to turn into a dead land on earth without leaving a living mouth."

"How many troops do this require?"

Li Si's tone was calm, but what he said made the Minister of Revenue and other ministers feel cold in his heart.

Your Majesty is completely destroying the entire Japanese clan!

However, although the ministers were shocked, they had no intention of sympathizing with Japan.

If you are not of my race, your heart will be different.

What's more, it's an ugly race like Japan?

In fact.

Li Si really planned that way.

For Turkic and Tubo countries, Li Si was still interested in implementing colonial plans and completely transforming the other party into the territory of the Tang Empire.

But Japan...

It's better to completely exterminate the clan.

Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed and his thoughts fluctuated.

After a while, Cao Zhengchun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to destroy the entire Japanese clan and not leave any one, you will need a hundred thousand army."

"In order to be foolproof, there is a god and demon who need to be in charge."

Cao Zhengchun said seriously.
