My Daming New Empire

Now Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying are not around, but Ji Gang still has a large number of capable assistants by his side after nearly ten years of power.

On May [-]th, although there were still subordinates who hadn't arrived, Ji Gang couldn't wait any longer.

He registered the responses of the big names in Japan that he had counted in two books, gathered a hundred subordinates, divided them into two teams, handed over the information to them, and asked them to send them to Osaka, a hundred miles away.

These people were divided into two teams. The leader of the first team was Guo Lin who was in charge of collecting information in the Kyoto Plain. He led nearly 20 people to Osaka by land.

The leader of the other team was Wu Ming, a monk from Donglai Temple. He led 80 people from the waterway down the Yodogawa River and broke through the waterway checkpoint.

Guo Lin's identity in Dongying was a Japanese warrior, and the small Japanese businessman he protected was a Japanese traitor recruited by Jin Yiwei.

The two of them knew the situation in the Kyoto Plain very well. They avoided checkpoints along the way, and when they encountered small forces, they were killed directly. At noon on the twelfth day, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Osaka.

Their journey went smoothly, but they lost one person, and another colleague was placed in the home of a familiar small businessman in Bafan Town because of a thigh injury.

When they arrived in Bafan Town, they realized that because the burning of Osaka had completely frightened the Japanese people, almost half of the large families here now intend to surrender to Daming.

As for those stubborn families, most of them have various grievances and grievances with Daming, so they can only pack up and flee to the inland.

In just a few days, the situation has changed so much that Guo Lin and the others are amazed at how powerful their country is.

As for those Japanese who took refuge here, they felt that they had walked the right path.

However, they were still a group of people who came later, because Wu Ming took 80 people on a two hundred stone river boat and went down the water all the way.

Although they experienced several interceptions and lost nearly half of their people, they arrived at Nangang Island in Osaka on the evening of the [-]th.

Both pieces of information were delivered smoothly. After comparison and verification, Zheng He also ordered on the evening of the [-]th, and in the morning of the [-]th, dispatched [-] troops from the Shenji Battalion, [-] Habayashi Guard Musketeers, and [-] naval soldiers to march into Kyoto. .

The army of Shenji Battalion is responsible for attacking, the navy is responsible for maneuvering the boat, and Habayashi guard is responsible for protecting the safety of the ship.

However, the order that everyone received was not to confront the Dongying people head-on, but to execute the beheading operation, and the target was the Dongying royal family and the general's mansion.

In addition, there is also a team of hundreds of internal eunuchs who ransacked the house. Of course, they are not going to raid the house, but to help the royal family keep an eye on the wealth of those wealthy households.

And behind them, there is an auxiliary team composed of thousands of people, responsible for protecting the safety of the waterway, and recruiting the local Japanese according to the information sent by Ji Gang and the others.

Today's Shenji Battalion has already surpassed the regulations of the general army, but because the training of the musketeers is a unified plan, it has not yet been dispersed into an army.

After this Battle of Dongpu, the Shenji Battalion will definitely be divided into different formations, otherwise, Liu Sheng will have too many troops.

When Ashikaga Yoshioka heard that Daming was finally going to send troops, he almost shed tears of excitement.In his opinion, Ashikaga Yoshichi would probably run away as soon as Daming's army arrived in Kyoto.

Among the giant flagships, although it was getting late, the conference room was still brightly lit.

Zhu Zhanji did not attend the troop dispatch meeting the next day, and he did not want to influence Zheng He and Liu Sheng's decision.

Zheng He has a broad vision and coordination ability. Liu Sheng has been a soldier all his life. Now he has an absolute advantage in weapons, smooth logistics, and soldiers who are united. It is difficult to win a battle.

On the contrary, he paid more attention to the blackmail plan that Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying were planning to carry out, which was related to the money bag.

There are hundreds of people in the Advisory Department and Jinyiwei, divided into different groups, matching the final collected responses from the big names with the previous intelligence, and formulating different targeting plans.

Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying were in charge of the overall situation, ready to suck the marrow and blood.

Zhu Zhanji is also very interested in such a plan, and seeing the plan they have formulated, he feels an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

He is very happy in his heart if he can make the country decline and destroy the country's development.

It's just this kind of pleasure that no one can understand in this day and age.

No one knows why he has such great resentment towards the shogunate and the emperor.

For most Ming people, as long as the Japanese pirates are wiped out, it is enough.

But for Zhu Zhanji, the most important thing is to trample on Japan's Shintoism, the emperor and the shogunate, and destroy their ruling structure.

"Treat the enemy ruthlessly, but you can't turn all the Japanese into enemies of Ming Dynasty. Eliminate a group, suppress a group, and support a group. The evil deeds must be done by those Japanese pirates, and official documents must be posted everywhere to accuse The crimes committed by the emperor and the nobles, and tax cuts for the common people. Let all the common people in Dongying know that my Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and I treat the people with mercy and policies are tolerant.”

Both Ji Gang and Pang Ying nodded and sat upright to listen.Zhu Zhanji said again: "You two are going to be villains this time, but it's not enough to be vicious. You not only need to make people fear you, but also make some people like you. Then you must also pay attention to the means. , don’t make people angry, I won’t be able to end it for you at that time. When this matter is over, I will also make up for you two. Nanyang has a vast land and few people, especially Nanzhou. There are only some savage tribes on it. I am Ming Since we want to expand our territory, of course we will not let this place go. I plan to arrange the two of you to Nanzhou in the future. Although it will be a bit tough at first, the land there is fertile and rich in resources, and you will have a good life in the future."

Give them some sweetness and hope with a warning.Both of them are people who have seen the globe, and they know that Nanzhou is half the size of Ming Dynasty, especially in the south, where there are countless fertile lands.The two bowed down one after another: "Dare you not serve your Highness!"

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "You don't need to serve your life. Follow me, you will only enjoy glory and wealth, and your family will last forever."

Thank you, Shasheng 111 for the reward, thank you for your support

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Among the Eastern Expeditionary Army, there is a very special army, which is Zhu Zhanji's young army.They were small in number, only 800 in total.

Whether it was a landing battle or an advancing battle, they were not pushed onto the battlefield. Instead, they served as medical soldiers and reserve troops, responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded after the battlefield subsided.

During the Battle of the Northern Expedition, they amazed the entire military class of the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers from the young army were proficient in horse warfare, infantry warfare, firearms, and swimming. They possessed a comprehensiveness that no other soldier in the Ming Dynasty could match in this era.

More importantly, they are good at tracking and hiding in the wild, good at observing the sun during the day and stars at night, and can draw extremely accurate maps.

This is beyond the scope of half of the soldiers, and even most generals do not have such abilities.

So after the first Northern Expedition, the 190 four people at that time were robbed, and most of them became the training instructors of the military guards.

But this time they played a lot of low-key, and because half of the young army today are noble children, it also made others doubt the ability of the young army.

But what everyone didn't know was that the original Young Army's B company, and later the A company, these 200 people were assigned to Dongying together with Jin Yiwei's spies long before Ji Gang and the others came to Dongying.

In more than a year, they have drawn a complete map of the three islands of Dongying, and they have walked step by step through the paths and valleys that many people in Dongying don't know.

It can even be said that the 200 of them played a greater role than the original Jinyiwei's 600 or so people.

At this point, Ji Gang also felt ashamed.But the opponent is the young army, Zhu Zhanji's pro-army, and has his own communication channels. He dare not conceal the credit of the young army at all.

For this reason, I also sent a lot of reprimand letters to my subordinates, asking them to work hard and learn more from this group of young people who are born with melon eggs.

Skills are not as good as others, even if he is not convinced, Jin Yiwei can only endure these meticulous work.

But the more they got in touch with the young army, the more they felt that this young army was more meticulous and professional than them.

This is actually Zhu Zhanji's unintentional move.

From the beginning, Zhu Zhanji wanted to train the young army to be his bodyguard.However, his personal guards must be clean and innocent, and there are children from the small capital or Zhongdu. These orphans are not qualified at all.

After understanding this, he wanted to train a group of special forces.But only after experiencing the battlefield, did he understand that when thousands of troops are confronting each other, no matter what kind of special forces, they will be finished with a single blow.

Those so-called enemies of a hundred people and enemies of a thousand people may still be useful in the sparsely populated era of the Three Kingdoms.In this era, unless it is a small-scale fight, it is still useful. On the battlefield, it is just that you can resist two more knives on the battlefield.

Since the Song Dynasty, the mode of war, especially large-scale wars, has completely turned into battle formation confrontation.Thousands of troops and horses, like a forest of knives and guns, hundreds of knives cut down in an instant, hundreds of guns stabbed out, no matter how high the kung fu is, it is useless.

Coupled with the scouting ability shown by the young army during the Northern Expedition, Zhu Zhanji was basically trained as a spy for this young army.
