Chapter 2290: Proposal to Conquer Japanese, Build Sea Ships

There are actually two reasons why Ying Hao is planning to conquer Japan. The first reason is that the Wa Kingdom is too arrogant.

Before the Japanese pirates invaded the eastern coastal areas, it really had nothing to do with Oda Nobunaga. After all, Tokugawa Uesugi and other forces were the culprits. However, the Youzhou War did involve Oda Nobunaga on his own initiative, and he also helped the Manchu Qing to contain the war in the Liaodong sea area. Qin State Navy.

No one forced Oda Nobunaga this time, it was his own choice, so he would naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences.

After Ying Hao planned to unify the Central Plains, he sent a navy to conquer Dongying, so he could also use Wa Island to train troops, but he didn't want Wa to restrain himself after repeated provocations, so he dared to send out to participate in Ying Hao's enthronement ceremony.

There are actually quite a few uninvited envoys from forces, such as Tubo, Wang Mang, Nanyang and other forces. Daqin did not invite them to watch the ceremony, but they still came.

It's just that these forces are not enemies, so it's fine if they come, but Dongying, which has already fought Daqin, has the cheek to come to watch the ceremony, which is a bit disgusting.

The second reason besides the arrogance of Dongying is that Ying Hao thinks it is easier to conquer the Japanese now.

After Oda Nobunaga became the emperor, he imitated Ying Hao in various aspects such as politics, military affairs, and economy, and the princes of the Central Plains obtained a lot of new technologies, so today's Dongying is developing very fast.

If you give Oda Nobunaga a few years and let him continue to develop like this, after Dongying understands the forging technology of the Central Plains and completes the refitting of the entire army, the combat power of the army will definitely increase significantly. Wo is even more difficult.

Based on these two points, Ying Hao decided to attack Japan in advance, and the sooner the Japanese conquered the country, the better.

With the development and progress of shipbuilding technology, Daqin has been able to build sailboats across the sea, which has been fully proved in the two battles between Qingzhou and Youzhou.

At present, Daqin fully possesses the ability to fight across the sea. Naturally, Dongying cannot be allowed to continue to jump like this, threatening to be wiped out in the bud.

The Japanese country is obviously not a soft persimmon. The country has a population of more than 500 million and a total force of 50 million. Even if the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is still weak and the equipment is poor, it is still not easy to destroy the country.

If Qin alone relied on the power of Qin to conquer the Japanese, it would be easy to fall into the quagmire of war, so Ying Hao was going to take the three younger brothers Wei, Song and Wu together.

Persuading the three kingdoms of Wei, Song, Wu and Wu to conquer the Japanese together can not only share the consumption of the war to reduce their own casualties, but also use the hands of the Japanese to weaken the three kingdoms, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, Ying Hao didn't want to conscript the Japanese immediately, at least he had to rest for a year and a half, and send troops after the national strength recovered.

During the rest period, Daqin can first develop the navy and build more cross-sea sailing ships for pre-war preparations.

Cao Cao, Zhao Kuangyin, and Sun Jian couldn't help falling into silence after hearing Ying Hao's proposal to conquer the Japanese and the reason.

It is impossible to attract them by relying solely on national righteousness and hatred to send troops to conquer the Japanese together. Therefore, Ying Hao started from the perspective of interests and lured Wei, Song, Wu and Qin to send troops together.

When Ying Hao told Cao Cao and others that Dongying had a large number of gold and silver mines, Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Jian were fine, but Cao Cao's eyes were straight.

Obviously, the state of Wei was under great financial pressure. Cao Cao, who was used to hard times, did not want to let go of any opportunity to make money.

"However, the Wa country is a big country with a population of more than 500 million, and the Japanese are martial arts. It may not be easy to conquer Dongying, and I know almost nothing about Dongying." Zhao Kuangyin said.

When the Japanese pirates invaded, the Song Dynasty was still inland and had not occupied the land of the Jianghuai River. Zhao Kuangyin, who had never experienced any pain, naturally did not hate the Japanese pirates as much as Sun Jian, so he was very rational in treating the Japanese pirates.

Hearing this, Cao Cao and Sun Jian also reacted.

Yes, Dongying has a population of more than 500 million and 5, which is more than the population of the three countries. If it is to send troops to recruit Japanese, how many troops will be dispatched?How many casualties will be paid?

For a while, both of them retreated a little.

Ying Hao smiled lightly, and said to himself: "Everyone, Daqin has fully collected information about Dongying."

As soon as the words were finished, a woman came in, it was Xie Siyun, the elder of the yin and yang family.

"Disciple of the Yinyang family, Xie Siyun, I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen all the great kings." Xie Siyun saluted.

Ying Hao pointed to Xie Siyun and said, "Elder Xie has been on Wa Island and knows Dongying very well. Elder Xie, let you explain the strength of Dongying."

"According to the order."

Xie Siyun starts with the political structure of Japan.

Knowing that Wajima has not been completely unified, and that although Oda Nobunaga is the emperor, he is only the largest force, and there are many other forces on Wajima, Cao Cao and others felt that the difficulty of attacking Dongying once again dropped. A divided Japan is definitely easier to fight than a unified one.

"East Ocean's naval army is very powerful, but the land army's combat effectiveness is very weak, and the equipment is still poor. The Japanese pirates who attacked all over the coast are already Japan's elite army.

The four countries of Qin, Wei, Song and Wu only need to gather [-] elites, which should be enough to sweep the four islands of Dongying. "

Hearing what Xie Siyun said, all three of Cao Cao showed joy.

Those Japanese pirates who don't even have armor but only a Japanese sword are already the strongest army in Japan?
Then it's okay to be a fart, just fuck his mother.

With the advent of the world of war, the equipment of the armies of various countries is getting better and better, and the comprehensive combat power of the armies is getting stronger and stronger.

Even in Wei, the poorest of the four kingdoms, the comprehensive combat power of the army, and even the equipment, are much stronger than those of the invading Japanese pirates.

This is not the progress of each country, but the progress of the entire era, especially in the military.

As for those princes who were standing still and unable to keep up with the pace of the times, they were naturally annexed by stronger princes.

If the Japanese army is not as good as the Han army, then the Wei, Song, Wu and Three Kingdoms will naturally not be afraid. After all, they all came from that era and clearly knew the combat effectiveness of the Han army at that time.

If the overall combat power of the Japanese army is not even comparable to that of the Han army, then if the same number of people fight, it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of any of the four countries.

The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is so weak, but they have a lot of wealth. In the eyes of Cao Cao and others, this is simply childish money.

What they should consider now is not whether to send troops or not, but how to carve up the territory and population of the Wa country, and how to transport the money and food they robbed back to their home country.

Both Qin and Wu have their own navy, so they can naturally transport the robbed wealth back, but Wei and Song don't have navy.

Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin looked at each other, and they both made a decision in their hearts. They also want to form a navy, even if the scale is small, it doesn't matter, as long as they can transport supplies.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Ying Hao knew that the alliance was completed, so he asked with a smile, "Would you like to join the alliance?"

"Wu Guo is willing."

"Wei Guo is willing."

"Song Guo is also willing."

The three replied one after another.

"Since this is the case, I announce the official establishment of the Alliance to Fight against the Japanese. After the preparations for the war are made, our four countries will send troops to attack the Japanese Island together to avenge the deaths of the people." Ying Hao said righteously.

Obviously not interested in revenge, so he asked, "I wonder when His Majesty Qin Huang will send troops to fight against the Japanese?"

Sun Jian also nodded, he had no worries, and he wished to send troops immediately, after all, he also needed the wealth of the Wa Kingdom to recover the war damage of the Wu Kingdom.

After the Japanese invasion, the Shanyue rebellion, and the Jiangxia war, after a series of wars, the current state of Wu is actually short of money to recover from the trauma, and how can it be quickly gained by its own slow development.

"There is no rush for now. After all, at least one hundred thousand troops will be dispatched to conquer Japan, but the combined warships of Qin and Wu countries are not enough to transport one hundred thousand troops to Japan, so a large number of warships need to be built to conquer Japan Island A boat will do."

As soon as Ying Hao said this, Sun Jian also said: "Wu will also build more warships to transport soldiers and supplies."

Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin looked at each other. Neither of them had naval forces, nor did they have shipyards. Even if they were established immediately, they could only build merchant ships instead of warships, so they could only go to the island with the ships of Qin and Wu.

However, logistics and transporting goods back to the country cannot be done under the guise of others, so they are also preparing to form a fleet to transport supplies.

"The Japanese army's combat power is weak, and it would be a waste of manpower to send too many Japanese conquest troops, so for the time being, the coalition army to fight against the Japanese is set at [-], and my Great Qin can send [-] troops, and the other [-] troops can be distributed among the three countries themselves. "

The implication of Ying Hao's words is that Qin will take half of the proceeds from conquering the Japanese, and the other half will go to Wei, Song and Wu.

For Daqin, although more troops can be dispatched to conquer the Japanese, if it exceeds [-], it will definitely affect the recovery of the country, and [-] is just right, not too much and not too little, and will not cause too much damage to Daqin. influences.

The three of Cao Cao also heard Ying Hao's voice-over, and immediately quarreled over the [-] share.

"My country of Wei is willing to send [-] troops." Cao Cao said first.

Sun Jian sneered and said, "Meng De, you are quite greedy. Wei Guo doesn't even have a naval force, so even if you can send out an army of [-], how can you land on Wa Island?"

"I don't need to worry about Wentai. The Wei army can board the Qin army's warship to land on the island."

Cao Cao said as it should, without any shame of rubbing the boat.

"No, my state of Wu has sent out a navy and an army. Its output is second only to that of Qin. Of the remaining [-] shares, it should account for [-]."

"Then we, Song and Wei, can only dispatch [-] troops? No, this is too little."

"You don't have a naval army in the Song Dynasty, so it's not bad to give you a quota of [-] troops."

"Hmph, my country of Song doesn't have a navy now, but it doesn't mean there won't be a navy in a year's time. Gu has already decided to form a Huaihe navy."

After hearing Zhao Kuangyin's words, Cao Cao was so envious.

After the Song State occupied the Jianghuai River, it already had an outlet to the sea. It was indeed possible to form a navy and go directly to Dongying by sea, but Wei State could not.

Wei State is the only landlocked country among the four countries. If he wants to go to sea, he can only go to the Yellow River, but he can't form a navy on the Yellow River, and then go to Dongying by going to the sea by the Yellow River, right?The naval forces of Qi and Ming will not let Wei Guo pass.

Moreover, with Wei's financial resources, building a logistics transport fleet is already the ultimate, and there is no money to build warships.

The three of them quarreled for an hour, but they couldn't come to a conclusion. In the end, it was Ying Hao who made the decision. Of the remaining [-] troops, Wu Guo sent [-], Wei Guo and Song Guo sent [-] each. The debate is over.

After finalizing the recruitment of Japanese, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Zhao Kuangyin all returned to China on the same day. After all, they had nothing else to do in Luoyang.

Conquering the Japanese is currently the top secret of the four countries. Except for the monarchs of the four countries and a small number of high-level officials, no one knows that the four countries of Qin, Wei, Song and Wu are eyeing the overseas Japanese countries. This secret may not be revealed until the day the coalition forces set off. , and doing so would naturally catch Japan by surprise.

The conquest of the Japanese is divided into water battles and land battles. Only when the water battles are won can they land on the four islands of Dongying, and the candidate for the commander of the navy is naturally none other than Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is going to marry his younger sister soon, so Ying Hao, as the brother-in-law, naturally wants to send a congratulatory gift.

Zhou Yu, as the governor of the Qingzhou navy and one of the 36 marquises who founded the Qin Dynasty, is already eligible to marry Ying Xuewu, Princess Huayang.

In the morning, Ying Hao shouted to the officials below: "Where is Zhou Yu?"

"The end is here."

"Zhou Yu, I am ordered to be the commander-in-chief of the Hebei navy, in charge of all the navy in Hebei, as well as supervising the construction of warships and other important tasks.

Within the next year, I want you to expand the Great Qin Navy to [-] people and create a fleet capable of transporting [-] troops.

Can it be done? "

Daqin originally had two naval forces of the Yellow River and Jingzhou, but now the Yellow River navy has been merged into the Qingzhou navy, and the Jingzhou navy has almost been wiped out. Now there is only the Qingzhou navy in the whole country.

The Qingzhou navy originally had [-] troops, but it also lost a lot in the Youzhou battle. Now there are only [-] troops left.

To double the size of the army within a year and build a fleet to transport 10 people is not an easy task at all.

Hearing that Ying Hao was going to expand the naval force, the civil and military officials who didn't know the truth were a little confused.

After the Qin army cultivated and thrived, the next strategic goals were Kansai and the Central Plains, and the raids on these two places were mainly cavalry, so why should they expand the navy instead?
Could it be that the lord is already preparing for the future, sending troops to conquer the south of the Yangtze River?But this is a bit too early.All the generals thought of this in their hearts.

Zhou Yu also didn't know that Ying Hao was going to conquer Dongpu, but without the slightest hesitation, he knelt down and saluted, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. Zhou Yu is willing to issue a military order. If you can't complete the task, I would like to come and see you."

"I don't want your head, otherwise that girl Xuewu will become a widow." Ying Hao said with a smile.

As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of laughter in the room. Zhou Yu who laughed was a little embarrassed, but Bai Qi looked at Zhou Yu with more relief.

Today's Zhou Yu is no longer the little transparent around him, but the governor of the Hebei Navy of Daqin, whose status in the navy is equivalent to Bai Qi of the army, which naturally makes Bai Qi, the master, very pleased.
