Chapter 550 From now on, the king does not go to court early
There is news about Japan, whether it is Qianmen or Fujian Navy under Yu Dayou's control, in fact, it has been paying attention to collecting information in recent years. The purpose is to know yourself and your enemy when deciding to launch an attack on Japan.
To be honest, if you really want to attack Japan today, with the current navy power of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that it is easy to capture. Since the Kanto chaos broke out in Japan, it has been in chaos in recent years. According to historical books, Japan is now in the Warring States Period.
When Jiangxia cleared out the pirates and pirates in Fujian, Japan was fighting in a melee. Over the past few years, although the situation has stabilized a little, it has become a situation of separatist forces.
According to the information collected by Yu Dayou, Japan can now be divided into four forces. One is the Light God Army, composed of the remnants of the Kamakura Shogunate and the famous three guardian daimyos of the Japanese Takasaki generation. They mainly control the areas from Japan Takasaki to Fukushima.
Second, the Kyoto and Yokohama area controlled by Ashikaga. Although this area is not big, it is the most developed place in Japan and has always been the capital of Japan, so it is of great significance.
Third, the area from Osaka to Matsuyama controlled by Yokota clan is not small, but the population in the territory is relatively sparse and relatively poor. Moreover, Yokota clan itself is not a Japanese nobleman, so it has never been recognized by the upper class of Japan, so its strength is not too strong.
The last fourth is the area from Fukuoka to Miyazaki controlled by Kawasaki, which is also the closest to the Daming sea line. The Kawasaki family was originally a pirate, especially the previous generation of the Kawasaki family, which is even more titled "The East China Sea Demon King".
Whether it was Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty or the territory of Ryukyu, they were robbed by the Kawasaki family.
As we all know, this civil war has always been getting poorer and poorer. The country's resources will be consumed in the civil war at a very rapid speed.
Therefore, the current Japanese country can be said to be extremely poor. Once people are poor, they will choose to take risks in order to survive. Therefore, all forces in Japan have basically organized pirate gangs and survived by robbing the passing merchant ships.
However, they robbed people not just to kill them all at once. Instead, they only robbed some of them based on the amount of goods. In this way, the merchant ships would not have any too fierce reaction, and they would consider it to have paid tariffs. Every time they ran a merchant ship, they would specially prepare a piece of property for these Japanese pirates, and once they encountered it, they would take the initiative to hand over it.
But it was the Kawasaki family, who were the most notorious among Japanese pirates. Once they saw their red skull flag, the merchant ship would run away or resist to death.
Because once they are robbed, the ships and cargoes will be robbed, and people will become hostages, slaves, or die.
However, it is precisely because of their ruthlessness that the strength of the Kawasaki family fleet is one of the strongest in Japan and the largest number of people.
This time, the person who came to invade Fuzhou port was also from the Kawasaki family.
According to Yu Dayou's analysis, to attack Japan, only 100,000 naval forces were needed. The Fujian Navy allocated 50,000 naval forces and the Zhejiang Navy allocated 50,000 naval forces, which basically ensured the forced entry into Nagasaki Port and occupied the territory controlled by the Kawasaki family.
In the conference hall of the Fujian Navy Admiral's Office, Jiang Xia looked at the East China Sea map sent by Yu Dayou to survey and map, and understood in his heart that Yu Dayou has been thinking about Japan over the years. The precise and meticulous pictures of this sea area are probably only able to find such a unique family in the world.
From Yu Dayou's introduction, Jiang Xia also roughly understood the current situation in Japan. If nothing unexpected happens, the Ming Navy attacks Japan, Japan will basically not have any force to resist.
However, Jiang Xia didn't understand one thing. Why did the Kawasaki family take the initiative to provoke the Fujian Navy this time? I can't figure out this problem, which made Jiang Xia, who had always been used to planning and then act, dare not make the decision to attack Japan rashly.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Xia asked Yu Dayou: "By the way, is there anything unusual in the Fujian waters recently?"
"Exception?" Yu Dayou thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "No abnormality was found? Patrol fleets patrol every day in Fujian. If there is any abnormality, they will definitely receive the notice as soon as possible."
Jiang Xia nodded after hearing this. Yu Dayou couldn't help asking again: "Sir, how about it? Is this Japan going to fight?"
Jiang Xia took a deep breath and sighed, thought for a while and said, "Fight. But be careful. Just take Fukuoka first, don't go deeper."
"Yes!" Yu Dayou immediately responded excitedly, and he asked, "Sir, then you can see the arrangement of this force..."
"Let the Fujian Navy go directly and send out 100,000 naval troops. You can allocate the remaining resources yourself. In addition, in order to prevent accidents, send a letter to Ma Yunlong and ask him to send 50,000 navigators to meet you in the East China Sea."
"Yes!" Yu Dayou responded with an excited look.
After all, Yu Dayou is not like Yu Dayou in the original history. In the original history, although Yu Dayou has made many military achievements, he has been repeatedly impeached. He has even been deceived by others many times, and his official career is not very open. It is not like now, when a young man is successful and full of energy.
Sometimes Jiang Xia really hopes that Yu Dayou can suffer some setbacks, otherwise it will be easy to get over. However, Yu Dayou himself is really capable. He has been in charge of Fujian for so many years and the waters in Fujian are in peace, so he has never suffered any so-called setbacks.
After responding to Jiang Xia, Yu Dayou smiled and said, "If Brother Ma knew about this, he would be so angry that his legs jumped around. Attacking such a large piece of fat meat in Japan, I would swallow it all by myself. When Brother Ma asked about it later, he would have to help me clarify. My initial suggestion would be for Brother Ma and I to send 50,000 naval troops."
Jiang Xia smiled slightly, reached out and patted Yu Dayou on the shoulder and said, "Remember, be careful in everything."
"Yeah." Yu Dayou nodded seriously and responded.
If you decide to fight, it will not be possible immediately. Formulate an offensive plan, choose a combination of warships, dispatch materials, troops, etc. If these issues are to be reported to the capital, and then approved layer by layer, it may take a long time to delay the first half of the year.
As the saying goes, soldiers are very fast. In order to get off as soon as possible, Jiang Xia temporarily took charge of Fujian and drove a direct train to Yu Dayou all the way, so that all the materials can be dispatched quickly.
However, it is limited by the transportation and the speed of information dissemination in this era. Even if it is fast, it will take time, so Jiang Xia cannot return to the capital for the time being.
On the capital, Zhu Zaijiang, who had just tasted the most wonderful taste in the world, began to gradually understand what it means to eat the marrow and know the taste.
In the past, Zhu Zaijiang's weekly work and rest time was to get up at the hour of Mao, wash up and start reading. He listened to the lectures of the Taifu at noon, and the ministers discussed politics. He reviewed memorials at the hour of Shen, and rested at the hour of Xu. He courted every three days and practiced riding and shooting every five days.
But what about now? Mao Shi and Cui Ziwei Ni are together, Wu Shi and Cui Ziwei Ni are together, Shen Shi and Cui Ziwei Ni are together...
In the morning court every three days, Zhu Zaijiang announced for the first time that he would not be morning court for the time being.
Spring night is short and the sun rises high, and the king will not go to court early from now on.
