"My dearest ministers, the purpose of calling you here today is to discuss the recapture of Kyushu Island! We have prepared for several years, and now it is time to implement it!" Emperor Toba said.

"Your Majesty, our strength is still not enough!" said a Bushido below.

"Nonsense, our strength is already strong enough! We have never been so powerful!" Before Emperor Toba could speak, a samurai beside him had already opened his mouth to scold.

Soon this samurai quarreled with the previous samurai, and gradually more and more samurai quarreled.

"Stop arguing, I'll give you a good analysis!" Konoe Sega coughed and said.

Hearing Konoe Sega's words, the palace fell silent again.

"Over the years, our Dongpu has changed a lot. Our strength is indeed much stronger than before! In the past, the total number of warriors in the whole country was less than 30, but now we have [-]! And the warriors used to belong to various lords, but now The samurai all belong to the emperor, and they only serve the emperor! The bigger change is that we used to fight alone, but now we form a real army like the Han people! Our training volume is much greater than that of the Han people, even if they are The Han people in Liangshan can’t achieve our training volume, we only rest for two hours a day! Because of the heavy training volume, countless warriors have died on the training ground over the years, but it’s all worth it!” Konoe Sega road.

"The Lord Regent is right! Our strength is so much stronger than before, can't we take back Kyushu Island?" A bushidol below said.

"Hmph! But we also have our own shortcomings! Although our samurai are very powerful, we don't have good generals! In the Kyushu Island campaign, one of the important reasons why we failed was because we were ambushed by the Han people! Over the years , although we are all learning the soldiers of the Han people, but after all, it is only on paper, and it is of little effect! A truly outstanding general needs to be trained slowly in the war!" Konoe Sega snorted coldly.

"Wars still depend on the soldiers. As long as the soldiers are not afraid of death, and everyone dares to dedicate their lives, the war will be won." Emperor Toba said above.

"Your Majesty, that's for the general army! It's not the case for Liangshan! The quality of soldiers in Liangshan is very high, not far from ours, so the role of generals is very important." Konoe Shijia said.

"I understand the advantages and disadvantages of our Japan! Thank you Regent for clearing up the doubts!" ​​Emperor Toba said.

"Your Majesty, I have to mention one more shortcoming! Our Dongying's national power is far inferior to Liangshan! According to our information, Liangshan has now occupied most of the northern part of the Central Plains, with a population of tens of millions, and their grain output is dozens of times that of ours. The quality of their weapons has even surpassed ours, and their domestic commerce is extremely developed! In comparison, they are elephants, and we are ants!" Said Konoe Sega.

Hearing Konoe Sega's words, everyone's faces showed frustrated expressions.

"However, gentlemen, we still have other advantages! We are separated from them by the sea, and their army cannot come unscrupulously! At present, they only have a garrison in Kyushu Island, but there are only tens of thousands of them! As long as the time is right, our Hundreds of thousands of troops will definitely be able to destroy them and take back Kyushu Island!" Konoe Seika said.

"My lord regent, when is the right time?" a warrior below couldn't help asking.

"Soon, it won't be long! Liangshan has conquered the former Khitan and Xixia, and now they have no opponents in the north. Their only remaining enemy is the Great Song! When they go to war with the Great Song, it will be us It’s time to launch a counter-offensive! Liangshan is Han, and Song Dynasty is also Han. They are all Han. The combat power should not be far apart. One is in the north and the other is in the south. When we are in the quagmire of war, it is time for us to fight! When we regain Kyushu Island, we can even land in Koryo and put a knife behind Liangshan!" Konoe Sega said.

"Ah!" Hearing this, the warriors below were startled at first, and soon someone showed a look of extreme excitement.

"Master Regent, can you tell me how long it will take to see?" There was a Bushido.

"The soonest, the Central Plains War will start at the end of this year! If it is slow, it may take two or three years!" Konoe Sega said.

"So we have to prepare for war now!" At this moment, the emperor above said.

"I don't know what kind of preparation is needed? We are training every day, preparing every day, and we can go to the battlefield at any time!" A samurai said.

"We still need to prepare supplies! Over the years, all our national strength has been invested in the construction of samurai! Now, even in the palace of His Majesty the Emperor, you can't see gold artifacts! As for ironware, there are Half of the homes don’t have any iron pots anymore, those iron pots have been melted and refined into weapons! As for food, I don’t know how many people die of hunger every year! Our supplies are really too small, and these supplies are not enough to support We are at war! This is why His Majesty the Emperor called you here, you all think about it carefully, how can we obtain supplies?" Konoe Sega said.

"This..." The warriors below talked a lot, and many of them shook their heads secretly. The supplies in Dongying are indeed extremely scarce now. If it weren't for the endurance of the people in Dongying far surpassing that of the Han people, Dongying might have collapsed by now!

"Master Regent, we still have a few silver mines in the north. We can mortgage those silver mines to the Song people and get food from the Song people!" said a samurai.

"This method won't work! Liangshan's navy is very powerful. Even if the Song people are willing to transport our food, they can't come from the sea! Think about it again, is there any other way?" Konoe Shijia said.

"Master Regent, we can temporarily suspend the training of the soldiers and let them do farm work! There are a large number of prime-aged laborers devoted to agriculture, at least for the time being we can solve the food problem." A samurai said.

"The training of soldiers must not be stopped! If a soldier holds farm tools for a long time, his hand will no longer be able to hold a samurai sword! This method will not work! Think again!" Konoe Sega said.

"My lord, there are still many aristocratic families in Kyoto. Although these aristocratic families no longer participate in the government, their wealth is still amazing! These people are blood-sucking worms of the East, and their wealth is the blood and sweat of the people of the East! I I feel that it is time for them to contribute! Not only them, but all the rotten lords in the country must contribute the supplies of their homes! All the rich must contribute their wealth!" After a long time, another samurai said.

"This method is feasible..." Konoe Sega said after being silent for a long time.

"My lords, for the future of Dongpu, we have to take some cruel measures!" Emperor Toba said.
