She Song

Chapter 270
The battle of Qi Rui Yundi ended. In order to unify the overall will of the next stage, Han Xiaoyao held a military meeting again.

The successive defeats of famous Jurchen generals earned Han Xiaoyao unprecedented awe from all the officers and soldiers of the Zhenguo Army and the Yanyun Army. At the same time, he became more confident in sweeping the world and seizing the imperial power.

"In view of the fact that we conquered the five states of Yundi and formally divided the Jin army into two parts, the east and west. Among them, the relatively weak Loushi group will become a burden to the Jurchens. They must maintain a high-pressure posture and force the Jin country to consume war resources for them. Appropriate armed support Wang Kai, solve the Li family's rebellion as soon as possible, integrate the Goryeo armed forces, and put continuous pressure on the Jin Kingdom from the east, so that the Jin army has no time to take care of other matters."

After finishing speaking, Han Xiaoyao looked around at the generals and finally said: "Everyone must cheer up and strive to completely solve the Jurchen problem within one to two years."

Han Xiaoyao decided on the gold strategy, and everyone began to discuss how to achieve this goal.

Sima Hengru looked at the map and said: "The Jurchens have risen too fast and their foundation is too shallow. The main force of the Jin army is basically to the south, and the rear is extremely empty. Once the war starts, they can support the Korean grassland people and tens of millions of slaves to launch an uprising against the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom. Without the support of rear armaments and food, the Jurchens would not be able to survive even half a year."

Xiao Yunhe took the words and said: "We have people in the important towns of the Jin Kingdom. The information we received shows that most of their slaves will die of various reasons within a year or two. It is really too cruel. As long as the main force of the Jin Army is contained, we will be able to raise our arms when the time comes. The riots will definitely take place naturally."

After a pause, he continued: "The news I just received is that the Jin Army has also begun training a new army. The first batch includes 5 people. They have obtained steel, gunpowder and other formulas from Tokyo, and the Liannu artillery is trying to be mass-produced."

Hearing this, everyone started talking, and even Sun Zhi couldn't help but complain: "The Imperial City Secretary is a waste! And that traitor, we will kill him sooner or later!"

Han Xiaoyao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry about these trivial things. Even without Tokyo, the Jurchens can rely on the armaments collected on the battlefield to develop them. Moreover, they have become students. As teachers, the future situation will only affect us." It becomes clearer.”

This statement is correct. According to the data obtained from the internal defense, no matter how hard the Tokyo Craftsman's Workshop worked hard to develop it, it was still slightly inferior to Yanjing in gunpowder and steel. The direct manifestation is that the power and range were different by at least [-]%.

Although Wang An and other people loyal to Tokyo have been working hard to spy on the situation of Tsinghua University and major projects, the internal guards have classified scientific research projects according to their importance, and it is impossible for them to involve the most core secrets, let alone hot air balloons, steel Ships, steam engines and other magical new projects.

For example, Wang Anzhong also boarded a hot air balloon and saw semi-fluid paste fuel. Through observation, he could tell that it was mainly coal and kerosene, as well as the sealing material used to sew the sphere, but he could not know the precise formula at all.

And those who are interested in spying on core secrets, under the surveillance of the external and internal counterintelligence department, either disappear secretly or are arrested and imprisoned.

Although the technology is very novel to Tokyo and Shangjing, everyone in the inner circle of Yanjing knows that the Zhenguo Army has been updated and upgraded.

This phenomenon gave everyone the impression that Shangjing and Tokyo were lagging behind Yanjing by a full era and a half in terms of new scientific research and military industry.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is the last word!

Therefore, Han Xiaoyao has always had a positive attitude towards promoting the upgrading of Tokyo's military industry in a controlled manner.

Now that the upper-level thinking is unified, the most difficult thing to implement is the lack of troops. Even if the reservists go to Yundi for rotation training, as the territory expands, the deployment of the army becomes increasingly stretched.

There was no discussion before due to financial constraints, but now there is cross-sea trade with merchant fleets, and the harvest is extremely lucrative, so Han Xiaoyao approved an expansion plan to recruit another 5 people.

Moreover, after Gao Bingwu opened the capital and settled down, he went to Japan and opened the door to trade in a short time through giant ships and cannons.It has to be said that the emperor at this time was just a child wearing crotchless pants, and the military and political power was in the hands of Guanbai Regent Fujiwara Tadamichi.

Fujiwara Tadamichi learned that his "elite army" of thousands of people had suffered more than half of its casualties in just two quarters of an hour under the attack of artillery and crossbows from the Zhenguo Army, and he immediately sobered up.

Do not mess with the kingdom of heaven!
So he immediately agreed to the conditions of the Hanji Chamber of Commerce to open the Dongying port for free trade.

Of course, according to the agreement, important ports and cities in Japan will allocate a piece of land to Yanjing for consulates, and Yanjing troops, merchants and civilians traveling between them will enjoy diplomatic immunity.

In order to consolidate his power, Fujiwara Tadamichi followed the example of Goryeo and presented Japanese beauties to the King of Zhenbei, including Fujiwara's 14-year-old sister Fujiwara Xiangzi.

When he saw the white-faced and red-lipped Fujiwara Koko, Han Xiaoyao almost thought he had seen a ghost, so much so that the tea cup dropped to the ground, making Maode snicker.

"Everything is for the sake of state affairs. I will serve my husband after I have been trained."

Han Xiaoyao frowned. Tingyuyuan couldn't accommodate two of these lolita, and there was a huge difference in speech, customs and aspirations. How could they have any common interests after getting along? He was not a stallion?
"This kind of thing must not be done again in the future! According to the rules, except for Fujiwara's personal maid, all other Miji maids are registered as naturalized and sent to the Doubunkan to study. They are given national treatment according to their affairs and are free to choose their personal lives."

Maode was greatly impressed and quickly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise! I will make proper arrangements for you!"

Another question, after the Sihai Fleet suppressed the naval forces of Goryeo and Japan, it captured a large number of warships and merchant ships. Now there are nearly a hundred merchant ships and more than [-] warships.

In mid-February, the Nanyang Fleet was officially established, and the huge fleet of ten warships and forty merchant ships began to embark on a new journey.

According to Han Xiaoyao's instructions, the Ryukyu Islands, Penghu Islands and Nanyang Islands, if conditions permit, will either be accepted as vassal states or directly included in the territory of Yanjing.

The Nanyang Fleet is equipped with the latest weapons and the best navy. In addition, there are also a large number of armed sailors in the merchant ships, and the number of troops available for combat has reached 3000.

Compared with the semi-primitives who drink raw materials and drink blood within the range of the journey, the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Fleet can be called divine soldiers and generals. As long as Gao Bingwu does not seek death, it is a certainty that he will be promoted to a higher rank after returning this time.

Han Xiaoyao has even begun planning a larger warship. The three-thousand-material Big Mac can be equipped with 72 medium-sized Korean king cannons. At the same time, a heavy Korean king cannon with a range of up to [-] steps will be installed on the front deck, equipped with the latest research and development technology. Successful flowering cannonballs.

Within half a year, with unremitting investment and efforts, the technology of explosive ammunition has gradually matured and is suitable for various artillery.At the same time, the development of steel-cast cannons and muskets also entered a critical stage.

Imagining the scene in the not-too-distant future where Zhenguo officers and soldiers would line up in three stages to shoot the enemy, Han Xiaoyao was in an unusually peaceful mood.
