When the Japanese surrender ended, it heralded the arrival of a new era.
However, among them, the three kings of Japan were probably the most unhappy.
"Move quickly. His Highness King Yan has ordered that all finances, personnel, and food must be moved out immediately. You only have half a month. Anyone who dares to be lazy will be punished with ten lashes."
The news of Japan's surrender was naturally conveyed to the location of Japan's Ming Army as soon as possible.
Zhu Ying personally wrote a secret letter telling Feng Sheng that the final result would probably be to occupy the land of the Three Kingdoms.
For Kyushu Island, it is naturally the entire southern region, Hizen Kingdom, Higo Kingdom, and Chikugo Kingdom, which are the three cities that the Ming Dynasty wanted.
After learning the news, Feng Sheng immediately ordered that all the people and materials currently occupied in the places be relocated to the Three Kingdoms.
Feng Sheng was most comfortable with the outcome of the Japanese surrender, which meant that he could return to the Ming Dynasty, and as long as he didn't take pride in his achievements and live a wealthy life, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Feng Sheng knew in his heart that the best thing about His Majesty the Grand Sun Taisun now is that he tolerates others. Even the vassal king only arranges to go overseas without restricting other rights. After all, there is a way out.
But in comparison, the three people who suffered the most were Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Shu.
The consciousness of the cession of the Three Kingdoms is very obvious. This is their vassal territory in the Japanese country.
This is completely different from what they imagined before.
At the beginning, the original idea of the three people was to carve up the entire Japanese country, at least Kyushu Island.
I never thought that now, each person controls a city.
The number of people in the cities of the Japanese country is not very large, because the Japanese country has already carried out relocation actions before, and now even if it accommodates the people of the Japanese country, the total number of people in a city is only about 100,000.
Including the surrounding villages, the number of people in each city must not exceed 200,000.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Zhu Di's general, Zhu Neng, couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Di's face was a little gloomy. There is no specific appointment yet, but there is a high probability that his location may be the Chikugo Kingdom of the Japanese Kingdom.
It is located in the middle of the west, and to the north are the two countries Bunzen and Bungo, which are close to the Japanese island of Honshu.
It was the first pressure point facing the Japanese state.
In contrast, Hizen Country's location is very advantageous. It is close to Goryeo and Ming Dynasty on the sea trade, and it also has its own barrier protection, so there is no need to worry about Japanese invasion.
It is the Higo Kingdom, which has many plains and is rich in grain. The two countries of Satsuma and Osumi in the south are now under the rule of the Ming army. Any Japanese warrior family with some strength.
Either it was destroyed or it has left.
At least for several years or even ten years, no threat will be posed.
Zhu Di looked gloomy and did not answer, but turned to look at Zhang Yu, a veteran under his command who was good at strategy.
Zhang Yu was not a lowly person, he was a member of a noble family. During the Yuan Dynasty, he served as Privy Councilor.
At this age, he has seen almost everything, and this is the general and counselor Zhu Di has always entrusted with important tasks.
Seeing King Yan's gaze, Zhang Yu immediately said:
"Your Majesty, before His Majesty's decree arrives, we should collect all the money and people as much as possible."
"Even in places that do not belong to us at the moment, we can still use some means to send troops on a small scale. The general thinks it is okay. As long as the order is not fulfilled for one day, the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country will still be in a state of war."
"The surrender of the Japanese nation in the capital has been theoretically accomplished, but the order to reach the Japanese nation's Kyushu Island from the capital will take one month according to the normal schedule."
"Since His Highness Taisun sent people to deliver the message in advance, according to the general's opinion, it may arrive in one and a half months, which is not impossible."
"At this critical point, the soldiers of the Japanese country must have been lax. If they quietly attack Bunzen, Bungo, or Chikuzen at this moment, it is very possible to seize the city in one fell swoop."
"To put it bluntly, although the location of Chikugo Country may not be very good, it is not necessarily an opportunity."
"According to Taisun's temperament, he will naturally be interested in Japanese business. According to the current regulations of the capital, he will carry out a Ming Dynasty dumping of Japanese goods."
"The city we occupy is stuck on the border of Japan. When the war stops, it will be able to contain Japan. At that time, the goods coming and going will definitely have a share of the profits for the prince."
Zhang Yu's analysis can be said to be profound and of great significance.
Zhu Di, who was a little irritable at first, suddenly had his horizons opened.
In fact, Zhu Di should have thought of these things, but because the Ming Dynasty agreed to the Japanese surrender, many of Zhu Di's plans suddenly came to nothing.
With such entanglement, there are not many ideas left.
Now that Zhang Yu made such a suggestion, Zhu Di immediately reacted.
Currently, for Zhu Di, there are three parts.
First, when the Japanese relaxed their vigilance, they forcibly captured a country.
From Zhu Di's perspective, it is foreseeable that after this surrender, he will no longer be able to control so many troops.
He currently has an army of over 100,000 in his hands, but after that, at least half of them, and possibly even more, will be transferred back to the Ming Dynasty.
This was not only the intention of the court, but also the desire of his current soldiers to return home, and Zhu Di could not stop it.
The only thing that can be done is to promise enough benefits so that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can get land and women here, so that they can follow and stay in the Japanese country with peace of mind.
Therefore, even if the damage is greater, a city must be captured.
The city's wealth, population, including women, and food, are Zhu Di's legacy in the future.
Wherever there is trade, plunder comes faster.
Secondly, after this, the key to developing and strengthening itself may only be through trade.
Whenever conducting sea trade or trading with the Ming Dynasty, this is the place that must pass through. As long as Zhu Di's side is strong enough, he can forcefully seize more benefits.
Based on this calculation, it is actually a good choice.
After thinking about it clearly, Zhu Di became very energetic and said, "Let's discuss which city is the quickest, most stable and has enough benefits for me to capture."
As soon as he said this, he obviously planned to take action immediately.
To avoid anything unexpected happening, if the edict arrives, everything will have to be abandoned.
Although it is speculated that Zhu Ying will ask the messenger to arrive a little slower, there is no certainty on this matter. If he arrives in advance, wouldn't he be in vain.
Taking advantage of the benefits early is the way to go.
Although Zhu Di talked about discussing, in fact his eyes were still on Zhang Yu.
Zhu Neng may be able to fight, and he can be considered brave and resourceful, but compared to Zhang Yu, a man who has experienced two dynasties, he is far behind.
Even in more aspects, although Zhu Di is the King of Yan and is born with a noble stomach, he is not necessarily as powerful as Zhang Yu.
As a former minister of the previous dynasty, he also experienced the chaotic times of the late Mongolia and the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
People say that Zhang Yu is good at strategizing. Of course, there is no need to say much about strategy.
Seeing the prince looking at him again, Zhang Yu didn't hide it and said bluntly: "Now, for the prince, the only three countries that can be conquered are Chikuzen, Bunzen and Bungo."
"Among them, if we talk about income, Bunzen and Bungo are naturally the richest."
"However, these two countries are also where the Japanese troops are currently gathering. Each city has more than 100,000 troops. It will be difficult to conquer them in one fell swoop."
"In contrast, Chikzen Kingdom is quite different. The garrison in the city only numbers 20,000 to 30,000 men, and they are not the elite of the Japanese state. The most important thing is that the Goryeo army is not far away and can reach the city in three days.
"
"With the relationship between the prince and Master Daoyan, at this time, we can definitely jointly attack the enemy. I think even Wei Guang will not refuse this matter."
Obviously Zhang Yu is more inclined to build Qiancheng.
Although the harvest may be a little less, the advantage is stability.
And with the help of the Goryeo Army, it is bound to be conquered in one fell swoop.
Although some profits will eventually be divided, the gains from population, money and food are also very objective.
What matters now is that we are racing against time. If we are slow and fail to achieve success in one go, we will miss the mark.
Zhang Yu and Zhu Di didn't say anything, but they knew it in their hearts.
If you act without authorization, you are likely to be punished by the court. If you fail, the punishment may be even heavier.
Now, although Zhu Di has an army of 100,000 under his command, there are only 30,000 fighting soldiers and more than 70,000 auxiliary troops.
In matters such as siege, the main force is combat troops, and the role of auxiliary troops is relatively small, especially in such rapid siege battles.
However, after listening to Zhang Yu's words, Zhu Di fell silent and did not answer directly.
Zhu Di was not particularly satisfied with what Zhang Yu said.
Although it is extremely stable, the harvest is too little.
Seeing that the prince was deep in thought, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng could only wait quietly for the prince's decision.
In Zhu Neng's view, what Zhang Yu said was already an extremely perfect plan, and such an idea had never occurred in Zhu Neng's mind.
Zhu Neng is still very young now and knows that he has many shortcomings compared to Zhang Yu, but this is also the best time for him to learn.
Ordinary people have no access to such a decision-making center.
Zhu Di was deep in thought when he suddenly stood up and looked out the window.
At this time, he was thinking about a very important thing.
That is your own dignity.
Is it worth doing this?
There is no doubt that after Zhang Yu opened up this situation, Zhu Di, who had strong military talent, sensed the opportunity.
When Zhang Yu said joining forces with Dao Yan, he thought of more.
Since he can unite with Dao Yan, from another perspective, he can also unite with Jin King Zhu Fan and Qi King Zhu Shu.
Feng Sheng would definitely not agree, and he would not take the risk of being condemned by the court. Zhu Di knew this very well.
But Jin Wang Zhu Fan and Qi Wang Zhu Shu were completely different.
They will be like themselves and stay in Japan to develop in the future.
This is an excellent opportunity for myself, and it is also an excellent opportunity for them.
However, this requires Zhu Di to take the initiative to talk to Jin Wang Zhu Fan.
From a respectable perspective, Zhu Di's face was a bit difficult to deal with, and he seemed to be the first to admit defeat.
This made Zhu Di feel quite uncomfortable.
a long time.
Zhu Di's eyes gradually became firm.
Those who have the right way can achieve great things without sticking to trivial matters.
Once the current opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to say goodbye.
At that moment, Zhu Di no longer hesitated and shouted: "Zhang Yu"
Zhang Yu cupped his fists and bowed: "The final general is here."
Zhu Di ordered: "I order you to go to the location of the Goryeo army immediately and explain how to capture Zhuqian City."
"At that time, I will appoint you to command an army of 30,000 people and unite with the Goryeo army to capture Chiqian Fortress."
"Make it clear to the Koryo army that after the city is broken, I, the king, will divide all the personnel, money, food and wages, etc., 50-50 with the Koryo army."
When Zhang Yu heard this, especially when he heard that he was asked to lead an army of 30,000 people, his eyes immediately lit up and he understood the prince's intention, and immediately replied: "I follow the prince's order."
Zhu Di continued to order: "Zhu Neng."
"The end will be here."
"This king allows you to command an army of 30,000, and orders you to go to Hyuga Castle immediately, explain the benefits of alliance to King Zhu Su of Qi, and unite with King Qi's subordinates to jointly capture Bungo Kingdom."
"And tell the King of Qi that after the event is completed, the money, food, and people will be divided into four or six accounts. I will be the fourth, and the King of Qi will be the sixth."
At this time, Zhu Neng still didn't understand what His Highness King Yan meant.
Now he clasped his fists and bowed: "I will obey my orders."
After the instructions were given, Zhu Di called for the team of personal guards and ordered: "Prepare horses, mobilize three thousand cavalry, and follow this king to the Fehou Kingdom immediately."
The guard captain Wu He immediately replied: "I will obey your order."
Feihou Kingdom is where the current Jin Dynasty King Zhu Fan garrisoned.
At this moment, Zhu Di's ability to combine vertical and horizontal lines can be said to be extremely outstanding, and he truly demonstrated the military talent of Emperor Yongle in history.
Zhang Yu appeared on the Goryeo side, and Dao Yan would not miss this opportunity. It can be said that it is extremely safe.
And Qi King Zhu Su was just a younger brother.
If Zhu Di directly asked Zhu Neng to lead 30,000 troops there, he would inevitably attack the city together out of greed for profit.
In fact, Zhu Di was not very optimistic about Qi King Zhu Shu, but his goal was not Bungo City. Even if he could not capture it, he would not lose much.
And he led three thousand cavalry and rushed to Jin King Zhu Fan overnight to discuss a joint attack on the city.
After dividing 60,000 troops, Zhu Di only had 40,000 available troops.
Among them, there is a time difference.
Calculating time, Zhu Di would inevitably drag Zhu Neng to send troops first. Even if Zhu Fan knew the details, he would have no choice but to join forces with himself to send troops to capture Fengqian Kingdom.
Zhu Di would naturally give up part of his harvest, roughly dividing it into four or six, or even three to seven.
From Zhu Fan's perspective, Zhu Di was at a loss.
But in fact, Zhu Di is the biggest winner.
His plan tied Goryeo, Jin King Zhu Fan, and Qi King Zhu Su to his chariot. If you follow the law and don't blame everyone, the capital can't blame too much.
The most important thing is that 50% of the harvest before the harvest and 40% after the harvest, plus even 30% of the harvest before the harvest, is already full of food.
