"Your Majesty, in this expedition to Japan, our army has eliminated more than 37 Japanese pirates so far. Although the area occupied is not large enough, it is the heartland of Japan."

While talking, Tang Shaozhe has already compiled a clear and complete map of the Japanese archipelago - the direct virtual projection made Zhu Di very dazzled.

When Tang Shaozhe began to draw pictures on it with his hands to indicate the sphere of influence, Zhu Di had already ordered the surrounding maids, eunuchs, and guards to isolate this area.

"Your Majesty, please see that the area currently controlled by our army is all of Awaji, Izumi, Yamato, and Yamashiro, as well as a part of Settsu. In terms of area, it only controls the entire territory of Japan. one-tenth of the area."

"Well, I'm so lucky to be a master of the country. I don't know if the Japanese pirates have wiped out nearly 40 people. Has the whole country's military force been wiped out?" Zhu Di really didn't expect that Japan, which is just a big fart, has an army of nearly 40. .Plane Travel Guide 1520

What's more, judging from Tang Shaozhe's current map, it took so many enemies to occupy less than one-tenth of the opponent's territory.He understands the importance of annihilating the enemy's vital forces. The two sides in the war are fighting with troops!

"Your Majesty can rest assured. After this battle, the elite forces of the Japanese pirates have been completely wiped out, and there should be no more large-scale field battles in the future."

Zhu Di's thinking has not completely changed, and he immediately felt relieved after getting what he wanted: "Hehe, I really didn't expect that there are hundreds of thousands of troops in a place the size of a small Japanese pirate. No wonder the master of the country needs 3 Brigade's Divine Machine Battalion!"

Tang Shaozhe smiled when he heard the words, and immediately began to think about how to explain the number of annihilated enemies, which still contains a lot of water - the number of deaths from the cleansing of many obstacles to the ruling class in the occupied areas is also included.

Among the more than 37 wiped out enemies, the number that really belongs to the army is just over 20.The remaining more than 15 people are the royal family, ministers, nobles and religious figures, as well as some literate businessmen and warriors.

Such a large-scale policy "sexual" killing could not be maintained in an orderly manner without the support of the central government.Therefore, this issue must be clarified with Zhu Di, and the support of him and the courtiers will be needed in the future.

"But that's okay, Master Guoshi has already wiped out most of the enemy troops in this battle. Presumably the Japanese court will also realize how serious the mistakes they made before. In the future, it will be impossible for them to pay tribute and cut the land. Success in one fell swoop!" Zhu Di was immediately overjoyed, the goal of this war against Japan was achieved in such a short period of time, which proved that the strategy of dividing the world was absolutely correct.

Until this time, in fact, Zhu Di had not decided to completely destroy Japan. He just wanted to take advantage of the Japanese "insurgency" in Ninghai Town and the Japanese shogunate's rudeness to the imperial envoys to send troops to punish Japan and take the opportunity to cede part of its territory.

But Tang Shaozhe's purpose in fighting against Japan was fundamentally different from Zhu Di's. He came back this time just to talk to the emperor.

Seeing that Ming Chengzu was so satisfied, he knew that he couldn't keep silent any longer, and he needed to speak clearly about some things, lest the two sides talk at the same time, so that the follow-up questions could not be communicated.

After thinking about the words for a while, Tang Shaozhe said decisively: "Your Majesty, listen to me. There are some things that have not been clearly stated to Your Majesty. Actually, I came back this time and wanted to ask Your Majesty for help."

"Oh? If you have something to say, Master National Teacher, if you need anything, I will definitely help you to the end!"

"Your Majesty, if we want to defeat Japan, we must have achieved our goal by now, but..."

Zhu Di suddenly realized that Tang Shaozhe's pause seemed to have a deep meaning, and after a little silence, he asked: "Does Master Guoshi have other opinions? It's okay, but if you say it, I'm all ears!"

"Your Majesty, look at the joint map between Ming Dynasty and Japan. Don't you think the distance between the two sides is a bit too close?"

"Well, it's just across the sea, and it's really not far away from the map of the world that Master Guoshi took out."

"The side of the couch, how can His Majesty allow others to sleep soundly?" Tang Shaozhe's tone had an indescribably seductive taste.

Zhu Di immediately laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, of course this generation is not allowed to sleep soundly. Didn't I have an agreement with the national teacher long ago? From now on, we will cede land and seal borders on this archipelago and arrange for the royal children. Why, did the national teacher forget gone?"

Zhu Di thought that Tang Shaozhe had some new ideas when he specifically brought up this matter, so he deliberately brought up the previous agreement to prevent the master of the state from changing his mind.To be honest, the position of the Japanese archipelago is actually good, and there is no pressure at all to entrust his two sons.Plane Travel Guide 2

"Yes, Your Majesty is really good at remembering "sex"! The starting point of the Ming Dynasty's division of the world started from the Japanese archipelago, which is completely correct! I don't know what your Majesty is looking for, we can discuss it carefully."

"Hehe, before the expedition to the sun, didn't we set our goals long ago? It is the two big islands, Kyushu and... uh, Shikoku! Yes, it is Kyushu and Shikoku. With these two islands, it is enough to accommodate Hanwang and Zhao The king's fief."

I said your appetite is too small, right?Are you satisfied with the small places of Kyushu and Shikoku?Well, it is indeed much bigger than Le'an, the fiefdom of King Han, not to mention that King Zhao Zhu Gaosui has no fiefdom yet.

How can you live up to the evaluation of "far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties" in history?It's basically a little rich and safe, okay?Ming Chengzu should be more generous, dare not say that he swallowed the world and all countries, but he must have swept away the world!

"Although what your majesty said is good, I don't agree with it. I wonder if your majesty will listen to me?"

"Hehehe, it's not a court meeting today, I'm just having dinner with the National Teacher in private, so feel free to say whatever you want."

"Then let me be presumptuous! If there is anything wrong with it, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Haha, Master Guoshi must have a good plan to teach me, please tell me quickly, I can't wait."

"Your Majesty also said just now that Japan and my Ming Dynasty are very close. If I ask you, Your Majesty has not really realized how close this distance is. There is even a saying among the Japanese folks that you can float across the ocean even if you hold a bathtub in your arms. Arrived in Ming Dynasty."

"Well, so what?" Zhu Di actually didn't understand Tang Shaozhe's real purpose of making this point.

"Your Majesty, do you know why the Japanese pirates have been banned repeatedly?" Before the emperor could figure out the truth, Tang Shaozhe's topic flew out again, and the jump was so strong that Zhu Di was completely confused.

Fortunately, Zhu Di's IQ was not given for nothing. After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked, "Could it be because the distance between the two countries is too close?"

"That's right!" Tang Shaozhe slapped his hands hard, and said loudly, "Your Majesty is sure enough to see the truth clearly and explain the truth!"

Although Zhu Di was proud of Tang Shangxian's praise, he still didn't get carried away, and said modestly: "Please enlighten me, Master Guoshi!"

"Your Majesty, you can think about it. From ancient times to the present, why China has always suffered from the plunder and invasion of border nomads for thousands of years? How many tyrannical dynasties have been tortured by the border grassland issue in the end? die?"

Zhu Di didn't even need to count, it was really too much.From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period until the Song Dynasty was subjugated to the Mongols and Yuans, the Huns, Turks, Xianbei, Rouran, Qiang, Khitan, Jurchen, Tubo, Mongolian Yuan... almost countless!

But he really didn't think about what caused it.Although fundamentally this is a natural opposition between nomads and farmers, there are also geopolitical influences.

If Zhu Di couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to think about it. He nodded directly and said: "So after the success of this grassland strategy, I can safely say to future generations, 'From now on, China will no longer have to suffer from the plundering of various ethnic groups in the grassland'!" Of course, this matter It all depends on the mighty power of Master Guoshi!"

Tang Shaozhe didn't want to end the topic just like that, so he jumped over and said, "Thank you for your praise, but this time it's all due to the hard work of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion that today's fruitful results have been achieved. I really dare not take credit for it."

Seeing that Zhu Di wanted to praise him, Tang Shaozhe hurriedly stopped him and said, "Let's talk about the topic first, and we'll talk about what I say later. Your Majesty, let's look at the map. Do you think the distance between the prairie and the Huahua World in the Central Plains seems too close?"

"Huh?" Zhu Di watched Tang Shaozhe gesture back and forth on the virtual projection map, seeming to understand something but couldn't explain clearly.

"My Chinese people have been hardworking and intelligent since ancient times. The men and women who farm and weave rely on their hands to eat. The tribes on the prairie are flying horses and flying eagles, hunting with strong bows and crossbows. Seeing the prosperity of my Chinese flower world, how can I Are you willing to endure hunger and starvation? The living standards of the two sides differ too much, and in the end they can only be decided by force.” Plane Travel Guide 1520

"Well, what you said is very true. Before I became a great treasure, I had guarded the northern border for many years, and I knew very well that the life of the grassland tribes was difficult. If my generation wants to survive, I really need to fight endlessly with the heaven, earth and people! Otherwise, there is only one dead end. .”

"Your Majesty is right. The reason why the nomadic tribes living on the grasslands covet the south of the Central Plains is to live better. Let's not discuss their attitudes towards life. Is it the only way to live a better life?" To rob with a knife? Let's just say that there are so many barbarians around Huaxia, why do they keep killing them?"

"The other generation bullied the weak, feared power but not virtue, and the Huaxia Center never refused to kill them all..."

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, we won't discuss this topic!" You can kill the grassland nomads just by killing them. The so-called wild fire can't be burned out, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates it!

The vitality of the nomads is actually as tenacious as the grass on the prairie.

"Then what does Master Guoshi want to say to me?"

"Well, in fact, what I want to tell His Majesty is knowledge related to geopolitics. All problems are actually based on distance."

"Geopolitics? I would also like to ask Master Guoshi to give me some advice, I'll just listen to it!"
