Yun Zheng calmly assigned the task. He asked Ning Pengxuan before assigning it just now and found out that the Emperor did not live in the Japanese Imperial Palace, but in a large temple nearby. Because he became a monk, he was called
The emperor, otherwise the emperor should be called. For this reason, Yunzheng's arrangements had to be changed accordingly. For example, the palace does not have to be captured, it only needs to be blocked, so as not to hurt the little emperor and Qi Yunzheng.
He is not afraid of the little emperor, but he will rely on the little emperor to control Japan in the future. If the little emperor is forced to lose face by himself and decides to go against him, then the gain will not be worth the loss.
There are less than three to four thousand Japanese soldiers in Kyoto now. These are sent by various Japanese countries for the use of the Emperor and the Emperor. In fact, the Emperor and the Emperor themselves do not have much military strength. One family relies on the Genji family, and the other family relies on the Taira clan. Genpei
The two samurai groups have become the main fighting force in their hands. The total strength of these two groups can basically be regarded as the backbone of the entire Japanese army. Each has about 25,000 to 30,000 people. Don't think that this number is insignificant when compared to the Wei Dynasty.
, but at this time, Japan was definitely a quite shocking power. A country like Japan could have between five hundred and one thousand troops. It was not bad. If there were three thousand troops, it would definitely be considered a powerful country...
The Minamoto family is the core of the Kanto samurai group, and they control a large area. Once their troops are scattered, they are not very sufficient in Kyoto. The Minamoto family has about 10,000 people near Kyoto, and the Taira family is slightly less, about 8,000. To be honest,
In Yun Zheng's view, these troops are nothing more than chickens and dogs. When Yun Zheng arrived in Kyoto, he saw the Minamoto family army and the Heike army, which are known as the most elite in Japan. The so-called Bushido spirit that Yun Zheng has not seen yet, these two
In Yun Zheng's opinion, the level of the troops was similar to that of the Yun family's newly recruited military households for ten days of training, and the equipment was still in a mess. The generals were treated well. The Japanese samurai swords were learned from Tang sword techniques and were quite sharp.
, but it is a pity that Japan's manufacturing capacity is low, and the price of samurai swords is high. Only generals can afford to use them. The general army is not only not equipped with such sharp weapons, but also has no armor on the whole body. Even the standard weapon of many people is a bamboo sword...
In this era, using the Yun Family Army to fight against Japan is probably as huge as the difference between using the Brazilian team or the Argentine team to play against the Chinese team in later generations of football - there is no suspense at all.
According to Qin Chong's words: Let them gather together, and I will deal with them with one guard.
When several commanders went down to mobilize their subordinates and planned to launch an offensive tomorrow, Yunzheng, Yun Yi, and Yun Lang had already begun to discuss the next plan.
Yunzheng laid out a map he drew by himself and was explaining: "Now the situation in Goryeo is corrupt. Not only is Goryeo's political situation beginning to collapse, but its economic situation is also very severe. This is very helpful to us. Goryeo people don't understand.
Economy, this is a good opportunity for us. We must continue to provide economic assistance to the Goryeo court at this time, but this assistance can only be provided by using money made by the Wei Dynasty... Coins, we have a lot of them, and they will become more and more
If they have more money, we will give them a large amount of Wei money." Yunzheng said in a savior's tone with a smile on his face.
Yun Yi and Yun Lang both laughed. They had already heard Yun Zheng talk about the idea of a "currency war." Goryeo originally had rebellions due to political corruption and material shortages due to war. What was needed at this time was
Material support, such as transporting large amounts of food, medicine, ordnance to Goryeo, is effective aid. But now because of Yunzheng's idea, the Yun family is very generous in giving aid to Goryeo, but all the aid is made of copper.
Wei money, the price of Wei money has always been strong, and there are many things that can be bought in Goryeo. However, Goryeo is now short of materials and Wei money is abundant, which has led to the complete loss of credibility of Goryeo's own currency. Inflation is extremely serious, and now it is basically
Withdrew from the market at this time, Yunzheng still continued to send Wei money to Goryeo (including loans to the Goryeo court and direct use of Wei money to purchase goods in Goryeo). Of course, Wei money would also depreciate to a certain extent, but after its depreciation reached
Goryeo's economy is bound to collapse before a certain level. Once the economy collapses, the only way for the Goryeo court to survive, other than to perish, is to follow the Yun family's arrangements and wait for Yun Zheng, who has been in ruins in Goryeo, to come to the rescue.
As a result, Yunzheng did nothing except take a large number of useless copper coins and circulate them around Goryeo. However, he not only brought back a large number of materials created by the Goryeo people, but also brought the Goryeo court into trouble.
Without the strength to resist, he could only be the meat on the chopping board and let him, Marshal Yun, slaughter him.
The most exciting thing is that Goryeo was clearly harmed by Yun Zheng, but they didn't know it at all. They only thought that Yun Zheng was kind and well-intentioned to support them in suppressing the rebellion. However, they themselves had no ability, and in the end they had to rely on Yun Zheng.
came to rescue them, thus treating Yun Zheng as their savior
Yun Zheng continued: "We have discovered that there will be a giant iron ore in North Hamgyong Province. The iron ore has first-class quality and is relatively easy to mine. The most important thing is that transportation is relatively convenient, so we must work in this area.
Now that I have grasped the situation, I have ordered Lianyi to take the opportunity to gradually encroach eastward, but this is not enough. After finishing the affairs in Japan, we must take a boat along the northern mountain on the right side of the Koryo Peninsula, go straight to Chongjin, and then occupy the entire North Hamgyong Province, and then
Follow the trend to the west, join up with Lianyi, cut off the connection between Liao Kingdom, Jurchen and Goryeo, and put the entire Goryeo Peninsula under the deterrence of our northern Xinjiang army, forcing them to surrender to us. Of course, if such a strategic situation is reached,
Then Goryeo will definitely belong to me. Even if it cannot be annexed immediately, at least it can be essentially puppeted to serve our northern border."
He concluded: "With this arrangement, are there any difficulties for the army and navy?"
Yun Lang's status in the family was not as good as Yun Yi's, so he asked Yun Yi to speak first. Yun Yi thought about it for a moment and asked: "Young Marshal, after we deal with the affairs in Japan, do we still need to station troops in Japan?"
Yunzheng nodded: "Of course we must garrison troops. Although Japan yearns for our Heavenly Kingdom of China, I still feel that only if our Heavenly Kingdom's heavenly troops are here in the northern frontier, the Japanese can honestly act according to our arrangements and nothing will happen."
Bad change”
"Then how many people do we need to keep?" Yun Yi continued to ask
"That's a good question. This is indeed the key." Yun Zheng nodded and said, "It won't work if you have more, and you won't be able to do less. For the time being, I plan to leave one guard each in Kyoto and Ishima. Each guard has 5,600 people, which is enough to deal with any situation."
Unexpected”
Yun Yi nodded and said: "That means we have four guards left to go to North Hamgyong Province, with 22,400 people... Well, North Hamgyong Road is a remote place, and it was not originally the focus of the Goryeo Army's defense.
Now most of it is occupied by the rebels. Although it is said to be an army of 200,000, I think we should have enough veterans from the Yingyang Guard to four guards."
Yun Zheng hummed and looked at Yun Lang: "What about the navy?"
Yunlang chuckled and said: "If you are not a frivolous general, our Northern Xinjiang Navy only pays attention to the Jiang family navy now and has nothing to worry about."
Yun Zheng thought for a while: "Are you sure what the wind will be like in Kunhai at this time?"
Yunlang said: "Most of our ships this time are large, and they are newly built. We only cross one strait and walk along the coastline. There is no danger in this route."
Yun Zheng was satisfied and nodded: "That's good."
Yun Lang hesitated for a moment, but stopped when he wanted to speak. Yun Zheng saw clearly and asked, "But are there any other inconveniences?"
Yunlang said: "There is nothing more to say about this battle. It's just that... last time we were in Nanyang, we found a problem that needed to be solved urgently."
Yunzheng looked like he was listening, and said: "Our base at the southernmost tip of Nanyang is designated as the Philippines, but the port of this base is still under construction, and it is far from the main route of Nanyang... That's what the young marshal said
The Strait of Malacca is still too far away, and the general feels that we should have a base on the Malay Peninsula in Sriwijaya."
Yunzheng thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Although I support your idea, objectively speaking, even if our navy is enough to complete such a task, the number of our army is not enough. At present, although the Liao Kingdom is in a tug-of-war with the Jurchens, the Liao Kingdom
The main force of the country is intact and can threaten the security of northern Xinjiang at any time. Although we have reached a certain agreement with the Liao Kingdom, it is difficult to say whether the Liao people will still keep their promises once our northern Xinjiang is empty. We have to be prepared and right now
The situation between North Korea and China is changing day by day, and no one knows what the final outcome will be. But in my opinion, the situation is not optimistic. We in northern Xinjiang must be fully prepared to cope with possible changes. In this way,
Yanyun Guard, Zhending Guard and Taiyuan Guard cannot be easily mobilized. The only troops that can be used for overseas operations are Yingyang Guard. However, according to current estimates, every soldier of Yingyang Guard has a use, and it is impossible to mobilize them at the moment.
Come out and fight Srivijaya"
Yun Lang wanted to say something else, but Yun Zheng waved his hand and continued: "Of course, I don't mean to ignore Sri Lanka all the time. What you just said makes sense. The Strait of Malacca needs to be in our hands.
There will always be a time when we want to fight, but this will have to wait until several major bases in Taiwan Island and the Philippine Islands are completed, making it more convenient for us to transport troops. And the most important thing is that we must first solve the problems of Japan and Korea before we can fight.
When the troops arrive, Japan will garrison two guards and Korea will garrison two or three guards. In this way, we will still have some surplus troops on hand to use, and it will not be too late to take action at that time."
Yun Lang knew that there was no other way out, so he could only nod in agreement. He and Yun Yi had just said goodbye. Before they finished speaking, they heard an announcement coming from outside: "Young Marshal, Prince Akimiya Kiyokouchi of Japan wants to see you."
-------------------- Yesterday I said I was going to write a chapter in the early morning, but I was so tired that I fell asleep after writing a few hundred words. This morning I woke up and planned to write, but there was a power outage. I went down.
When I asked, they said it was the wind that broke some kind of wire or pole... But the power was restored at three o'clock in the afternoon. It will be updated at night. I can't say the number of words. It could be as little as three thousand and as much as four or five thousand.
