Chapter 1003 Summoning the Queen
After the imperial meeting was successfully concluded during the war, Zhu Cixuan returned to the imperial office and summoned the Queen Mingzheng alone.
It is not comforting or picking up girls, but Emperor Zhu wants to continue to squeeze the surplus value of the queen.
He asked Hiroko in person to issue an edict to all Japan on behalf of the Japanese Emperor, announcing the crimes of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and calling on all Japan's Daming Tanyun to fall into the underworld.
Although the Japanese Emperor had no real power, and Hiroko was still the emperor who took office, she had been a spiritual symbol of Japan and was the only person with noble blood in the Japanese royal family at present.
Once she formally issues an edict on behalf of the Emperor to denounce the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Tokugawa Shogunate will lose its orthodox status and become a traitor, and the Ming army's eastward movement will be even more legitimate.
Men and women are alone in a room, whether they are talking about official or private affairs, they are in a passive state. Queen Mingzheng deeply understands this.
Faced with Emperor Zhu's aggressive attitude, the queen had no resistance and had to bite the bullet and agreed.
In fact, dealing with the Tokugawa shogunate is also the goal of Empress Akimasa. She wants to avenge her two emperor brothers, but she is not very used to Emperor Zhu's behavior. You just talk about things and play with things like robbery, which makes people shy. (Come on, the word 饰官网 originated from Japan)
In an awkward and ambiguous atmosphere, Empress Akimasa took the initiative to change the topic and asked: "Today's discussion, Maori and the others made a lot of sense. While the shogunate forces had not yet been assembled, we first defeated Ohara's shogunate army and then defeated them one by one. Isn't it a good tactic? Why did Your Majesty reluctant to send troops and delay the best fighter jet?"
Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Xingzi, fighting is not just a piece of martial arts, you must learn and apply it."
When a man called him in person, Queen Mingzheng's little heart accelerated the speed and thought that the stinky brother in front of him was too unrestrained.
As the former emperor, Hiroko also read military books. After military education, she obviously dissatisfied Emperor Zhu's attitude of despising her, so she said: "If the shogunate generals gathered together, wouldn't it be difficult to deal with it? Although the Tianjun is brave and good at fighting and has a strong combat power, if she seizes this fighter, her own losses will be reduced, right?"
Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "You are talking about conventional tactics, which are completely feasible without considering logistics."
Speaking of this, he stopped talking, after all, the following words involved Mingjun secrets.
According to Zhu Cixuan's consideration, the Ming army traveled across the ocean and transported logistics very difficult. The Ming army's strength relied on logistics especially. Without gunpowder, muskets were not as good as long spears.
Since the beginning of the war, the Ming army won consecutive battles and conquered several strong cities in a row. Although it was not very casualties, it consumed a lot of ammunition, especially artillery shells. Due to the serious scarcity, the appearance rate of artillery will be greatly reduced in future battles.
Therefore, Zhu Cixuan's plan is to fight quickly and decide quickly and resolutely not fight a protracted war with the shogunate army.
What he was most worried about was that the shogunate would disperse the troops, resist step by step, or break them into pieces and rely on Japan's mountainous terrain to engage in guerrilla warfare, which would be too disgusting.
Now let the Tokugawa shogunate gather all its troops, which is exactly what Emperor Zhu wants. As long as the Ming army defeats it with all its might and severely damages the shogunate army, then after this battle, the Tokugawa shogunate will no longer have any resistance. This is what is called completing his contributions in one battle!
Several Japanese commanders of the army did not know the logistics of the Ming army. The Queen Ming Zheng was a woman and lived in the imperial hall for many years, so she did not understand these details.
"How do you say halfway?"
Queen Akimasa frowned and said, "I still don't understand. If the Tokugawa shogunate gathers its troops, their strength will be greatly enhanced. Even if we can win in the end, we may have to pay a considerable price..."
"And what if they retreated and ran back to the Kanto Plain? Do we still have the ability to continue the attack and completely wipe them out?"
Zhu Ciyang said: "My Ming army has not only a powerful army, but also a royal navy that is victorious in every battle!"
Only then did the Empress Ming Zheng realize that the Emperor of Ming was planning to send a naval fleet to attack the Kanto Plain in the rear of the shogunate.
When the two armies are fighting, it is most taboo to have food and grass problems. If the Ming army attacks the Kanto Plain and cuts off the ties with the front-line shogunate army, all their logistics food and grass supply will be in the middle. This way, for at most one month, the shogunate army will be in chaos without fighting.
Once the shogunate army returns to the army for rescue, the Ming army can follow them and pursue. If the shogunate army can set up ambush on the way back to the Kanto Plain, rush forward and chase after halfway, gather and annihilate them, the harvest will be even greater!
Thinking of this, Queen Mingzheng couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
She had long heard that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was like a god, and he was a natural emperor.
But Empress Mingzheng felt that these were all exaggerated praises by literati and poets. How could a person, especially an emperor, be so outstanding in military affairs? After all, she herself is the queen, so it feels unrealistic...
This obviously belongs to my own skilled food, and I also talk about the psychological state of others cheating.
Moreover, in several battles against Japan, Emperor Zhu did not directly command the battle, which made Empress Ming Zheng even more convinced that the Ming Emperor was deified.
However, what she saw with her own eyes today was the entire presidency of Emperor Zhu, including the strategies and tactics that she analyzed now, all came from the Ming emperor who was a few years younger than her.
Queen 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 outstanding!
Queen 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 Cilang smiled and said, "Attacking the enemy's rear, we need a strong navy and enough warships. We have it, but not even the Tokugawa shogunate!
Now that the entire Japanese sea control is 80% in our hands, the Tokugawa shogunate cannot achieve cross-sea combat at all!”
Empress Akimasa again said: "Your Majesty, why did you force the Sendai Fan to completely break with the Tokugawa Shogunate? Even if he doesn't send troops, at least he won't completely turn to the Tokugawa Shogunate. If we force him into a hurry, maybe he will be completely on the side of the shogunate. Wouldn't we be worth the loss?"
Zhu Cilang shook his head and said, "I have seen too many fence-bearing sects Ida Zhongzong. He just wants to get along with everything and get enough benefits."
"They will not rashly send troops to assist one side, they will only stay in the fiefdom and watch success or failure. When the battle situation between the two sides is clear, they will send troops to join the side that will win. In this way, they will not only preserve their strength, but also be able to join the winner and pick up a ready-made fruit."
Zhu Ciyang continued: "If we and the Tokugawa shogunate both suffer losses, the Sendai vassal can reap profits and will always be invincible when doing Tokugawa Ieyasu. And I forced them to make a choice, just not let them be out of the matter anymore!"
Empress Akimasa understood that when Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Ming army fought bloody battles in Korea, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not send troops, greatly preserving his strength and accumulating strength for the future unification of Japan.
