    "Your Majesty, now, more than three years have passed since the countries came to court. Now our Chinese Empire is becoming increasingly powerful. Our Chinese Empire Navy has been in force for a long time, but it has never experienced a national war. Now, everything is ready.  "The only thing I owe is your Majesty's will." Wei Yunqi put down the pointer in his hand, but his eyes still fell on the huge map on the wall.  That map of the northern sea frontier was drawn by our sailors after spending several years and countless efforts and sweat.  It can be said that with this map and the already prepared nautical charts, the sea area in this area, in the eyes of sailors, must be like a back garden for leisurely strolling.  "One hundred thousand elites of the army and fifty thousand of the elites of the navy are all ready to go, just to avenge the shame of the Japanese monarchs and ministers who humiliated me in the past." I stood up, glanced at the ministers in front of me, and took a deep breath.  Said loudly.  "Now, more than three years have passed since I promised to destroy the Japanese country within five years. There are many vassal countries in the world, and I am afraid that even the Japanese people have almost forgotten me and the promise of my Chinese Empire.  Now, it's time to realize it. Where are Yang Gongren, Luo Shixin, Zhou Shaofan, and Qu Tuquan? " "I am here" The four of them came out of the crowd and bowed down in front of the steps with excitement.  Yang Gongren was the commander-in-chief of the expedition to the Japanese islands, Luo Shixin and Qu Tuquan were the deputies, and Zhou Shaofan was the commander-in-chief of the Beiyang Navy, commanding the Beiyang Navy and cooperating with Yang Gongren in the battle against the Japanese islands.  Two armies and one division were dispatched this time, and this division was naturally the special firearms test division.  It is expected to launch an attack on Wajima in early May.  We strive to wipe out the Japanese island within half a year, and the merchants sent there in the early days have already figured out the key points of the major cities on the Japanese island and the number of city defense troops.  In addition, most of the copper and gold mines on the Japanese island have been explored. It is expected that after occupying the Japanese island, it will take up to a year to start transporting these precious metals to the empire.  This battle is not only a battle against the Japanese islands, but also a training for the future conquest of the Silla Peninsula, Sakhalin Island, and the Ryukyu Islands.  Many civil and military officials in the court and even ordinary people have a great dislike for Goguryeo. Although the rise of the Chinese Empire originated from the collapse of the former Sui Empire, the collapse of the former Sui Dynasty was largely related to Goguryeo.  The three conquests of Goguryeo exhausted the national power and manpower, causing the originally powerful Sui Dynasty to collapse and disintegrate, and only then did the Chinese Empire take advantage of the situation to rise.  Regardless of the merits and demerits of the previous dynasty, we have inherited the territory and people of the former Sui Dynasty after all. So, Goguryeo, which is not a toy, will definitely not be our friend. If the Chinese Empire can conquer the Silla Peninsula and Liaodong,  Taking over Goguryeo, which the entire Sui Dynasty could not conquer, would definitely be a good opportunity for the entire Chinese empire to boost national confidence and the morale of the military and civilians. More importantly, it would be a territory that even the former Sui Dynasty could not conquer.  As soon as our Chinese Empire took action, we neatly defeated this powerful enemy of the previous dynasty.  Then, other people who have ulterior motives for our Chinese Empire must think carefully and decide whether it is right to be an enemy of our Chinese Empire. Don't be an enemy and get nothing but make yourself suffer like Goguryeo.  Tai is not here yet.  The morning meeting on the next day announced the crimes of the Japanese state to the Manchu officials and the people of the world, and declared war on the Japanese state.  Although the common people don't quite understand how a small island country thousands of miles away could offend the powerful Chinese Empire.  But those who are literate and read know very well the reason, and more importantly, the gold, silver and copper mines on the Japanese island described in the newspapers, which made the empire determined to expedition thousands of miles away.  Of course, some literati may have guessed this kind of news, and of course some people have stood up and criticized the court in newspapers for the expedition thousands of miles away, which is really a waste of people and money.  Next, naturally some imperial literati jumped out and analyzed and refuted those people's doubts one by one with reason and evidence.  Today's Chinese Empire certainly does not launch wars for the emperor's selfish interests, and the beneficiaries of the war are not only the emperor's inner treasury.  More importantly, in the future, the land in the occupied areas of the Japanese country will be sold to wealthy people and rewarded to meritorious ministers. In addition, a large amount of land will be left for free to the people in the country who lack land.  It was given to them for farming In short, all the benefits were thrown out, and the literati who were originally talking nonsense suddenly became mute.  Even many literati who came from aristocratic families and had some money immediately began to discuss with their families whether they should make preparations in advance to go to Japan to acquire land.  Of course, although the war has just begun and the outcome is still undecided, the Chinese Empire's historical achievements have already made the people of the empire accustomed to it. Victory is necessary. Failure?  Unless it's a fantasy.  The common people have such confidence, which shows their confidence in the empire. This is a good thing, but for the army, we must not underestimate the enemy.?, For every expedition, the Imperial General Staff will prepare half a year or even a year in advance. The calculated winning rate must be above 80% before it is confirmed that troops can be dispatched.  To be honest, the role of this general staff in the army is obvious. In addition to serving as the dean of the Military Academy, General Qu Tu currently also serves as the chief of staff of the Imperial General Staff, in order to show it to the generals in the court.  , the empire attaches great importance to staff work. ?????????????????????????? With the staff, it can greatly reduce the work of the military generals and help them correct their omissions.  The generals' combat and march plans have become more complete, and with the participation of political supervisors and the presence of the gendarmerie, it has also eliminated the possibility of the generals inserting private individuals into the army, and the gendarmerie strictly enforces military discipline.  , Supervisors at all levels educate these soldiers to learn cultural knowledge, and let them understand that they are the army of the empire and the army loyal to the Chinese Empire. The army can be invincible and has strict military discipline, thanks to the improvement of the military system.  If things continue as in the past, then in a few decades at most, the soldiers will become the private armies of the generals. Their allegiance will no longer be to the Chinese Empire, but to the generals who are ambitious to expand only for their own selfish interests.  .  In the Tang Dynasty in another historical time and space, it was precisely because of the excessive power of the military generals that it caused chaos among the warlords, and even caused the Tang Dynasty to die in the hands of the warlords.  It was only in the Song Dynasty that people learned to suppress martial arts and promote literature.  However, the Song Dynasty suppressed it too much, making it difficult for the Han people to enter Youyan since the Song Dynasty.  It was not until the Ming Dynasty that China was unified.  All in all, what the army needs is not suppression, but control and restriction, so that the army can only exert its combat effectiveness where it should, rather than pointing swords and guns at its own fathers and brothers.  Nowadays, rumors have begun to spread outside that major trading companies have signed cooperation intentions with the government. They will purchase large quantities of land from the government, of course land on the Japanese island. By then, when the war is won, they will be able to  To obtain land on the Japanese island at a lower price, all they need to do before that is invest.  "a total of 3.8 million guan, calculated based on two guans per acre of paddy fields, 1.9 million acres of paddy fields have been purchased by major trading companies. As long as the empire takes over the Japanese island, then they can  The island has obtained 1.9 million acres of paddy fields." Fang Xuanling looked at the data in his hands and reported the report without raising his head, but the excitement in his tone represented his mood at the moment.  "My dear, so many?" General Qu Tu couldn't help but smacked his tongue.  "I'm afraid we won't be able to spend so much military expenditure on the Japanese islands this time, right?" "The total number of troops used in this expedition to the Japanese islands will not exceed 150,000. The estimated combat time is half a year.  The military expenditure was about 1.2 million guan. Previously, we used more than 350,000 troops for the battle, which lasted for nearly four months, and the military expenditure was about 2.7 million guan.  "Fang Xuanling quickly reported a set of numbers.  "However, with these two deployments, the court not only did not waste military resources, but also obtained sufficient benefits. In the previous war, we acquired the entire territory of Hetaotao, and gained more than 2.7 million acres of cultivated land alone.  We also obtained hundreds of thousands of sheep, 45,000 cattle, more than 30,000 horses, and a large area of ??pasture. If converted into money and silk, it would be worth at least 5 million yuan. This time, if the Japanese island is occupied by China.  , Wadao and the surrounding islands have nearly eight million acres of land. In addition, the mining value of various gold, silver, and copper mines on it is about 10 million yuan. " After hearing these reported data,  The sound of gasping came one after another. General Qutu covered his heart with his hand and shook his head repeatedly.  "Grandma, when we fought in the past, we only focused on victory or defeat. We never thought about anything else. At most, we just captured some people, cattle, sheep, wealth and silk. Now in the war, what we seek is not the difference between victory and defeat, but to take over the country and seize it.  Its territory" War is an extension of politics, and politics is a compromise of interests.  Only with interests can there be politics, and with interests can it be worthwhile to use force to obtain greater benefits.  This is the law for a social group to survive in the times.  The wars in the Chinese Empire in the past were more about counterattacks or counterinsurgency, and were rarely said to be fought for the sake of conquering the enemy and seizing greater interests. However, in the eyes of those literati at that time, wars were just a waste of people and money.  The common people did not get any benefits, and the broad interest groups also did not get any benefits.  The only one who gained something was the emperor. Such a war in which ten thousand people lost and one person benefited naturally encountered opposition from the majority of the people. However, I am different. Not one person can collect all the benefits in the world. Besides,  Well, after all, we are also outstanding young people with ideals and reasons. We are greedy for pleasure, so how much money can we spend?
