In fact, President Xiaoxi's heart was already full of horses. He wanted to swallow the Ming Dynasty in one breath. He felt that this was really a bit whimsical. After all, the Ming Dynasty had reversed its decline and its national strength began to rise. He longed to be able to take action step by step, first letting the Japanese forces enter the mainland, and then joining the Zonglian to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

However, as a businessman, he knew how to restrain himself, and he should put the overall situation first. If he fails, he will lose everything.

After this, he also cut off the idea of ​​negotiations with North Korea. According to the plan he had formulated before, he focused on the Heian Road where Pyongyang was located, while Kiyoshi Kato was mainly targeted on the Ning'an Road.

And his request for soldiers to speed up, occupy Peachan Road, and give up negotiations with North Korea, does not mean that he also gave up the alliance with the Jurchens. He is eager to reach the border between North Korea and the Jurchens first and take the lead in negotiating with the Jurchens.

However, his move made Kiyomasa Kato think that the businessman was going to take advantage of the situation again, and Kiyomasa Kato was also urging him to march.

The competition between the First Legion and the Second Legion began to enter a white-hot stage.

No one has considered the feelings of North Korea.

As for the matter, none of them took North Korea seriously. This was not a war, it was running, and North Korea was the soft red line that flew away as soon as it hit. Anyway, they just ran over and won.

Of course, North Korea also cut off the idea of ​​negotiations with Japan. The North Korean king has settled in Pyongyang and mobilized elite troops from the north to actively prepare for the war, which is also their last chance.

The reason why they have not asked for help from the Ming Dynasty is here.

Although North Korea is unwilling to seek help from the Ming Dynasty, it is understandable that it is easy to ask God to send God to God!

But in fact, they still lack a little overall view. When it comes to destroying Korean professionals, they will definitely not be the Central Plains dynasty. Don’t think about it, it must be Japan. Looking around the world, if you have to choose a country to destroy North Korea, you must choose Japan, which is definitely the best choice.

Don't choose rabbits, eagles, or fur bears. Although they are strong, they will never do their best to do this.

Strictly speaking, the Central Plains dynasty has never destroyed any Korea, as long as they surrender, this is the wisdom of the ancients. No matter how powerful the ancients are, they are destroyed at any time, but they don’t talk about what to do after they are destroyed.

When Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi destroyed Goguryeo, which was not the same as North Korea now. Goguryeo was a northern ethnic group and posed a certain threat to the Central Plains dynasty. It must be destroyed. North Korea later obtained Goryeo, Silla and Baekje.

If the Central Plains dynasty wants to destroy Korea, it can only have one purpose, which is to destroy Japan. But then again, why should we destroy Japan in terms of national interests?

What do Japan want?

The cost of occupation is definitely higher than the benefits gained.

But on the other hand, North Korea is crucial to Japan and it is a lifeline to the mainland. As long as it occupyes North Korea, it can march into the mainland. Japan destroys North Korea, so it is absolutely necessary to do its best and do whatever it takes to work harder than any other country.

Similarly, this is why Japan's geographical location becomes crucial when two major powers appear at both ends of the ocean.

But North Korea did not understand this problem and was always afraid that the Ming Dynasty would annex them. In fact, Guo Dan didn't want to occupy North Korea. He just wanted a port and used North Korea's geographical location to maintain control over the Northeast region.

With this strength, it is better to go to the land in Australia to take a look.

If North Korea does not come to ask for help, Guo Dan will naturally not show his face to the door. He began to inspect the local economy seriously in the Liaodong region, and the Liaodong region is now united in military and civilians, and all of them are devoted to economic development.

The Liaodong region has just been restructured, and grain has begun to enter commercialization, and the farm product market has suddenly become prosperous. At the same time, the shipbuilding industry also provides a large amount of livelihoods to the local area.

Guo Dan is very popular here. Every day, people come to the door and take him everywhere to see him. I just hope that Guo Dan can give me some advice.

Li Rumei originally thought that Guo Dan came for North Korea, but now he is a little confused. Maybe Guo Dan did not lie to him. He is really here to inspect the economy and pay attention to the situation in North Korea.

However, Fang Fengshi's sudden arrival made Li Rumei feel that things were not that simple.

It is not easy for the time to go, so I just waited to finish the battle and then retired and returned home.

But the battle was already fierce, and the court seemed to have no idea about this, which made him a little confused. However, Wanli sent him another message, hinting that he would be diligent in the future.

The logistics is Guo Dan in charge!

"North Korea is on the verge of destruction, so do we still have to hold our troops?"

When Fang Fengshi saw Guo Dan and Tian Yi, he said straight to the point.

Whether to fight or not, you will tell Ju Ming what he said.

Tian Yi sneered: "North Korea is not in a hurry, why are we in a hurry?"

He now has a lot of opinions about North Korea.

Fang Fengshi dared not challenge the factory and said, "Mainland, this North Korea is ignorant, we cannot follow it. The Japanese wolfish ambitions are trying to invade our Ming Dynasty. They attacked North Korea just to open up a channel to invade our Ming Dynasty. We must have a little color on the Japanese pirates. If we only fight for North Korea, then I will not come here."

This sounds quite comfortable. Tian Yi glanced at Guo Dan.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Shangshu Fang's words are reasonable, so we will wait for Japan to destroy North Korea before we go."

Fang Fengshi wondered, "Why are you doing this?"

Guo Tan said: "Because I think it may be much harder to fight alone with us."

It is undeniable that Guo Dan's words make some sense in terms of the combat effectiveness that North Korea has shown.

Fang Fengshi pondered for a little and said, "After that being said, if we can send troops to help North Korea before it is eliminated, North Korea can reduce the logistical pressure on our army."

Guo Dan was so happy that he heard it, "Haha..."

"What are you laughing at?"

Fang Fengshi said a little unhappy.

Guo Dan said: "Because the actual situation is exactly the opposite of what Secretary Fang said. As far as we have obtained information, the North Korean king has completely lost control over North Korea and asked them to mobilize food and grass. That is a fantasy. Secretary Fang must not expect North Korea to be able to allocate a grain of food for us. Not only that, we also have to cry with them and try our best to ensure that they don't give them too much food and grass."

“…!”

Fang Fengshi was silent for a long time, sighed heavily, and said, "But if North Korea does not provide us with food and grass, then logistics will be a big problem. After all, North Korea is full of mountains and roads, and it may require mobilizing a large amount of labor to transport food."

“Impossible.”

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Because we don't have so much money, our Fengchi Group is a private workshop, and we can't afford to hire too many people."

Fang Fengshi said angrily: "If you don't give me food, how can we fight?"

"Shangshu Fang, please calm down."

Guo Dan suddenly stood up and said, "Please ask Secretary Fang."

Fang Fengshi was a little stunned, got up and followed Guo Dan to the back hall, and saw a super large sand table in the back room.

Fang Fengshi immediately became depressed.

This is more exquisite than the sand table of our military headquarters!

"Where did you get this sand table?"

Fang Fengshi asked with envy.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "This is what I spent money to ask Fang Yuan Xinxing, Fengchi Group, Liu Jiayaxing, and Daming Construction Group to do together, worth 50,000 taels."

Fang Fengshi took a breath of air conditioning.

You get what you pay for!

A sand table costs 50,000 taels, and you can’t afford it or you can’t afford it.

Guo Dan said again: "But now this sand table can be copied, and the value is only about one hundred taels. I can make some for Shangshu Fang for free."

Fang Fengshi said without any politeness: "Then it will be a labor."

"It should."

Guo Dan picked up a long stick and pointed to the sand table and said, "According to our Fengchi Group, we have the most cost-effective route, which is to obtain food and grass at the beginning, and all of them are transported by land, with a total of 800,000 stones of food and grass. If calculated as 40,000 soldiers, the consumption during the transportation can be maintained for about two months. If calculated as 80,000, it will only last for less than one month."

Fang Fengshi asked: "That is to say, we send 40,000 troops, and the war must end within two months? But I have fought for so many years and have not heard of a deadline."

"Shangshu Fang, please listen to me."

Guo smiled and said, "If our army can take down the Incheon Prefecture of North Korea after consuming these 800,000 stones of grain, then the food and grass will be transported directly from sea to North Korea, avoiding those dangerous roads, and the transportation cost can be reduced by 70% to 80%. The food and grass in the future will not be a problem. As long as it can be consumed by Japan, we can afford it. But if it relies entirely on land transportation, as long as the war exceeds half a year, then our Ming Dynasty will need to seek old capital to fight, which means it will definitely be a damaging force."

Judging from the land situation in North Korea, the Fengchi Group's budget consumption of food during transportation will be more than twenty times that of the army. If it can reduce the logistics costs by 70% or 80% of the time, it will really save a lot of money.

This is also a major secret of Guo Dan's logistics. He is to try every means to reduce transportation costs and try to spend money to buy from the local area. If he can walk to the river, he will never take the land route. Even if the river risk is high, he must go to the river.

When the cave was made, the river was winding and the Fengchi Group directly used rafts and boats to transport grain. It would rather let the grain sink to the bottom of the river than consume it on the rugged roads.

Fang Fengshi asked, "That is to say, within half a year, my Ming Dynasty has not been damaged yet?"

"I'll take back this sentence."

Guo Dan quickly said: "Shangshu Fang, you can't think so. For the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, this loss of damage will increase exponentially, and there is no limit, because it will affect the economic development of the entire Ming Dynasty."

At present, grain is being commercialized. If food is forcibly collected for war, it will conflict with the new policy, and at the same time affect Yinuo Grain Bank and Yinuo Insurance, the stock price may be maintained, and this loss is far more than the loss of food.
