The soldiers and horses must move forward before food and grass are used, and there must not be any problems with logistics support.

Zhu Cixiang waved his hand, and a map of Japan appeared on the wall.

"suck……"

Seeing the emperor's magical operation, the ministers took a deep breath again.

Zhu Cixiang no longer pretended at all and didn't care what they thought. For the ministers, the emperor's methods were also a deterrent.

With a thought, a smooth and straight wooden stick appeared in his hand.

He pointed at the map of Japan with a wooden stick and said:

"The territory of Japan consists of more than 3,000 islands including Ezo Island, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, the Four Islands and the Ogasawara Islands.

The area is similar to the area of ​​Yunnan Province in Ming Dynasty.

Ezo Island is located in the northern part of Japan, across the Tsugaru Strait from Honshu Island, and is surrounded by sea. It is not the territory of Japan, but there are Japanese people living there. The Ming army only needs to drive away the Japanese people.

Honshu Island is located in the central part of the Japanese archipelago. Honshu Island extends for about 1,300 kilometers from northeast to southwest, and its total area accounts for more than half of the Japanese territory.

Shikoku Island is located in the southwest of Honshu and northeast of Kyushu, separated from Honshu by the Seto Inland Sea.

Kyushu Island is located in the southwestern tip of Japan, facing Honshu Island across the Kanmon Strait to the northeast, and facing Shikoku Island across the Bunyo Strait and Bungo Channel to the east.

It faces the Pacific Ocean to the southeast, South Korea to the northwest across the Korean Strait, the Yellow Sea to the west, and the Ming Dynasty to the East China Sea.

My dear friends, I have ordered Feng Houdun to lead the Korean troops to cross the Tsushima Strait and storm Tsushima Island.

The Tsushima Strait is the outlet of the waterway that Japan must pass to the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the Pacific Ocean.

Also known as the throat leading into and out of the Sea of ​​Japan, its strategic location for transportation is very important.

The Korean soldiers led by Feng Houdun should be able to easily cross the Tsushima Strait and successfully capture Tsushima Island.

After capturing Tsushima Island, they tried their best to capture Iki Island, and then landed on the Japanese island of Kyushu from the west.

Kyushu Island is very large, and there are many Japanese vassal states, including the Satsuma Domain and other vassal headquarters, which are located near Kyushu Island.

Zhang Shuting led the Marine Corps to land in Kyushu to support Feng Houdun, and Huang Fei was responsible for the transportation."

The Military Aircraft Department immediately began to record Emperor Shenwu's orders, and then conveyed the orders to Zhang Shuting and Huang Fei's Department.

Zhu Cixiang continued:

"The Ming Dynasty has abundant treasury and is not in a hurry to swallow up Japan. Although no one will die in the war, the casualties of the Ming Dynasty soldiers should be minimized.

After landing in Japan, destroy everything that can be destroyed, especially the Japanese navy in Kyushu, we must destroy them all."

"Follow the decree"

The Satsuma Domain was the main force of the Japanese navy. Zhu Cixi decided to clean up the Japanese combined fleet. The main force in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 came from the Satsuma Domain and they were absolutely not allowed to exist.

Pointing to the map, Zhu Cixi continued to order:

Zhu Chenggong's naval troops were divided into two groups, one assisting Li Shouting in attacking Shikoku Island, and the other assisting Zhang Huangyan in attacking Ezo Island.

"According to the order!"

There are not many Japanese on Ezo Island, so there is no need for a large army to attack. Shikoku Island is not big, and Li Shoutei's troops can handle it.

Although Kyushu Island is larger, there are 100,000 North Korean troops led by Feng Houdun and 50,000 Marines led by Zhang Shuting, so it is absolutely foolproof.

The largest Honshu Island was handed over to Shi Lang's tribe, as well as the four national defense armies Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji, and Lu Xiangkun. Honshu Island could be destroyed with one hand.

After Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong received the decree, Zhu Youjian pointed to the map and continued:

According to the decree, Zhang Mingzhen was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army of the Navy, and he will lead 30,000 navy troops to cooperate with Huang Degong's Longteng Army to attack Shikoku Island."

"Follow the decree"

In this attack on Japan, the main force of the Ming Dynasty was deployed. In addition to the Korean army, the National Guard Army dispatched 200,000 troops and a navy of 100,000 troops.

Each navy dispatched five steam engine-driven warships, more than a hundred sailing warships, and nearly a hundred large troop carriers.

Before the Ming army set off, Feng Houdun, the commander-in-chief of North Korea, was doing pre-war mobilization.

One hundred thousand North Korean troops were lined up neatly, and they were trained in the same way as the various military services of the Ming Dynasty.

Under Feng Houdun's personal training, this Korean army has become a well-trained army.

The army has strict discipline and strong combat effectiveness. Although the number is not large, it is enough for the Japanese to drink a pot.

The army was about to set off. Feng Houdun stood on the high platform and said loudly:

"Brothers, if you join the Ming Dynasty, you will be our true members of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past two years, your military pay has not been in arrears for a day, and your relatives at home have no worries about food and drink.

Remember, it was Ming Dynasty that allowed you to live a life of abundant food and clothing. Now it is your time to repay Ming Dynasty. Are you willing to fight for Ming Dynasty?"

Before Feng Houdun finished speaking, one hundred thousand Korean soldiers shouted in unison:

"Yes, we are the people of Ming Dynasty, we are willing to be loyal to Ming Dynasty, and we are willing to fight to the death for Ming Dynasty."

Feng Houdun nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"The Japanese are so ambitious that they have invaded North Korea many times in history, and every time they have caused the loss of life in North Korea, it was the Ming Dynasty that sent troops to save you.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has decreed that we launch an attack on the Japanese country. Today under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, you can finally avenge your ancestors with your own hands.

I would like to hear your true words. Are you willing to attack Japan? If you are not willing, you can choose to withdraw!"

"Yes, we are willing, we want to attack the Japanese country, we want to kill all the Japanese pirates, we want to rob all the Japanese women..."

Thinking of their relatives being brutally killed and raped by the Japanese, the hatred buried in the bones of the Korean soldiers finally broke out.

Seeing the high morale of the Korean soldiers, Feng Houdun was very excited and said to his deputy Li Dongyang:

"Order the soldiers to board the ship, cross the Tsushima Strait by force, and capture Tsushima Island today."

Li Dongyang hurriedly stood at attention:

"Here!"

…………

The Tsushima Strait extends from northeast to southwest, is about 200 kilometers long, and is more than 40 kilometers at its narrowest point.

Feng Houden led more than 300 large and small warships and numerous troop transport merchant ships to prepare to cross the Tsushima Strait.

The 40-kilometer stretch of the Tsushima Strait is densely populated with sailing warships flying the Daimei Dragon Flag.

The warships stationed in North Korea are not large at first, almost all of them are more than thirty meters long.

A few days ago, the imperial court suddenly sent fifty large sailing warships, which improved the strength of the North Korean navy by several levels.

A large fleet composed of hundreds of warships crossed the middle section of the strait and approached the waters of Tsushima Island.

Tsushima Island is not very big because it is very close to North Korea. There are more than 8,000 troops stationed on the island and more than 20 warships.

As soon as the leading fleet of the Ming Dynasty crossed the center line of Tsushima Strait, the Japanese on Tsushima Island discovered them.

The defenders hurriedly reported to the island fan:

"General, something bad is going on. The Korean warships have crossed the center line of the strait. It seems that they have the intention to invade Tsushima Island."

Tsushima Island often has conflicts with the Koreans. We have been going back and forth for many years, and most of the time, the Japanese win.

The Japanese garrison on the island was to restrain North Korea. Toyoda Hideyoshi invaded North Korea and also landed in Busan through the Tsushima Strait.

The highest officer of Tsushima Island is a fan named Huashan Shusou, who is a cavalry general in Japan.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, the wine-souler from Huashan couldn't help but sneer:

"The Koreans are overestimating their capabilities. Have they forgotten that it was Japan that invaded them in history?

Come, gather the warships and go out to fight, strive to annihilate all the Koreans in one battle, and teach them a profound lesson so that they will never dare to cross Tsushima again."

"Hey!"

Just as the messenger was about to deliver the order, an ashigaru hurriedly said:

"My lord, now North Korea is no longer the weak kingdom it was back then. They have become a province of the Ming Dynasty, and their strength is not the same as before. Sir, please think again!"

"Ba Ge, think twice. What can the Ming Dynasty do to Japan? Just think of the time when a group of pirates caused chaos along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. They left 3,000 people to guard the coast, and everyone else boarded the ship to eliminate the Korean dogs."

"Hey!"

Just kidding, when did the Japanese country take Korean soldiers seriously? To them, the Koreans were giving away their lives.

The wine-souler of Huashan gave the order, and Little Japan went into battle with great vigor and high spirits.

The morale of the Korean soldiers in the Tsushima Strait was even higher than that of the Japanese.

Just kidding, when will the Koreans dare to attack Japan? Japan has been invading Korea for hundreds of years.

From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty and then to World War II, little Japan suppressed North Korea and fought, and North Korea had no power to fight back.

The Korean soldiers never thought that they would take the initiative to attack Japan. As long as Japan did not come to attack them, everything would be fine.

However, today after being merged into the Ming Dynasty, they actually have the opportunity to cross the Tsushima Strait and attack Tsushima Island, with a force and warship that far exceeds their historical number.

The Korean soldier thought about the years he was bullied by the little Japanese, and finally he was able to vent his anger with the help of his good father.
