Three days later, Shang Yi formally issued an order to bring Toyotomi Jung into the palace and be named as the eleventh concubine in Shang Yi's harem. Shang Yi suddenly discovered that before he knew it, the number of people in his harem also exceeded two digits, and finally reached the standard of a time traveler. Could it be that there is really a magical law of time travel in the dark?

However, Toyotomi Kaoru had already decided before Shang Yi became emperor, so no one had any objections. Of course, the current imperial system also decided that as long as the emperor did not do too out of line, it was basically impossible for any officials to talk about the emperor's private life. Who would be so bored that the previous proposal to ask the emperor to accept fewer concubines?

In Shang Yi's harem, the concubines had long known that Toyotomi Kaoru would enter the palace sooner or later, so no one opposed it. They also welcomed Toyotomi Kaoru's joining, and Toyotomi Kaoru was quickly integrated into Shang Yi's harem life.

Although he had a new concubine, Shang Yi was not immersed in the gentle village. On the next day, he recruited a military meeting in the cabinet and began to study the arrangements for Japan and the Netherlands.

Because this is a meeting to prepare for military operations, it is not necessary to send troops, so there are not many people participating. Among the cabinet members, only Wang Fuzhi, Li Yan and Zhou Shaohuan participated. In addition, Cheng Gang, deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense, Cheng Jin, Li Dingguo, and Huang Zhen, a total of these seven people.

Of course, the advantage of having few people and few people is that they are unified in their thoughts. Except for military personnel, Wang Fuzhi and Li Dingguo were also the main force to expel the Netherlands by force and conquer Japan, so that the empire had no enemies within the South China Sea, and completely controlled the maritime trade between Asia and Europe. After the maritime situation was initially stabilized, the empire's main force was transferred to land, because only by controlling maritime trade could the empire have enough financial resources to cope with the needs of land expansion.

Shang Yi first introduced the domestic situation of Japan to everyone, and then said: "If my calculations are correct, there will be a civil war in Japan within three months at the latest. The side that turned down the shogunate will never be an opponent of the shogunate. Of course, it is still possible to support it for a period of time. Therefore, we may send troops to Japan and interfere with the civil war in Japan within about three to six months."

Li Yan said: "Don't we sell 10,000 muskets, 300 cannons, and flowering bullets to the Anti-Shroud Alliance? It's much more than the firearms sold to the Japanese Shogunate in the Netherlands. It's so difficult that the Anti-Shroud faction is not a match for the Shogunate."

Although the replacement and assembly of the Chinese army has not been completed, it has been eliminated and eliminated and eliminated 140,000 muskets and more than 30,000 guns, of which less than 30% have reached their service life, and the rest can still be used normally, which has become a big burden. Although the empire formed militias on the northeastern border and local troops have also established local troops, it is impossible to digest all these eliminated and eliminated firearms. Just now, the two major forces in Japan are standing together and sold to Japan, and they can also exchange for some extra money. Moreover, they are all products of the Chinese army eliminated and eliminated, and they are not afraid of the powerful weapons of the enemy. Therefore, the Congress did not react to this transaction plan.

Moreover, this falls within the scope of trade transactions. The cabinet can decide on its own without passing the resolution of Congress. Congress can only propose opposition proposals, but Shang Yi can also use the veto power to deny the resolution of Congress' opposition.

Zhou Shaohuan said: "Mr. Li doesn't know that war does not rely on weapons to win. In the first place, the anti-shog faction will obtain our firearms, at least one month later. It will take a certain amount of time to fully exert the power of these firearms. The shogunate party has now obtained the firearms provided by the Netherlands, so it has taken the lead. In addition to this reason, the power of the shogunate is unified, and the firearms provided by the Netherlands can be used in a concentrated manner. The power of the anti-shogunate is scattered. Although the number of ten thousand muskets is quite large, the income of each vassal is more than one thousand. If the shogunate defeats each, the anti-shogunate general will be difficult to resist. Therefore, the emperor infers that the anti-shogunate is definitely not an opponent of the shogunate, and the shogunate has always been an enemy of our China. Therefore, once the anti-shogunate party fails, our China must send troops to interfere."

After hearing this, Li Yan nodded and said, "So that's it."

Wang Fuzhi asked on the side, "Then why don't we sell more muskets and cannons to the anti-scene faction? In this way, there may be no need for China to send troops to interfere. Moreover, we have more muskets and cannons that are easy to eliminate. We will sell more muskets and cannons to them, and we will not visit them until we have no choice."

Shang Yi said: "In fact, neither the shogunate nor the anti-south Shogunate will be sincerely friendly with China. The anti-south Shogunate is now willing to make friends with China, but it is still because they are not opponents of the shogunate and hope to use China's power to fight against the shogunate. Once the collapse of the shogunate is successful and the Japanese regime is controlled, although the anti-south Shogunate will not turn against us immediately, it will definitely be alienated from us. What is the secret of opposing us? Therefore, if you want to conquer Japan, you cannot rely on the internal strength of Japan and must actively interfere."

The king's way: "What the emperor said is extremely true, and the poor minister has received the teachings."

Shang Yi nodded and said, "Sending troops to interfere in the civil war in Japan requires both sea and land to send troops at the same time. Therefore, the Navy is responsible for the Beiyang Navy. Among the army, the Gansu Military Region is too far away, and the Liaoning Military Region has to defend the Northeast. Therefore, the Shandong Military Region and the Beijing Military Region will be responsible for the responsibility. The two military regions each dispatch the troops of one army, which I think is enough."

Cheng Jin said: "If we send troops to interfere in Japan, will the Netherlands also send troops to interfere?"

Shang Yi shook his head and said, "I don't think so. With the current strength of the Netherlands, it is difficult to break through the Luzon level. It is difficult to support Japan with all its strength. Even if there are several warships that break through the Luzon blockade and arrive in Japan, it is just a cup of water. It is useless unless a large group of reinforcements from the Netherlands can arrive in Batavia. However, in my opinion, the Dutch reinforcements will not be able to reach Asia before October, so the Netherlands can ignore it for the time being."

After a pause, he said, "Everything cannot be done, so it is not unaware of it. Moreover, after conquering Japan, the next step is the Netherlands. We will do some preparations in advance, so it is okay to deal with the Netherlands. Of course, the sea and land are also advancing together. In the navy, the Nanyang Navy is naturally responsible, while in the army, the Guangdong Military Region and the Nanjing Military Region are responsible. However, Batavia is nearly ten thousand miles away from China and is not close to Japan. Therefore, Luzon must be used as the base for the front line. From now on, we must prepare to accumulate food and food in the Luzon region and make full preparations."

At this time, Cheng Gang suddenly said: "Master, the Dutch team has not yet arrived in Bayavia. With the current strength of the Netherlands, I think that using only one or two fleets and one army is enough to defeat the Netherlands, seize Batavia, and control the Strait of Malacca, it is better to take action as soon as possible."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Chenggang, do you understand the master's use of troops? Of course we can easily defeat Batavia now, but will the Netherlands give up? It will definitely send troops to capture Batavia again. This repeated stake may not be beneficial to us. Therefore, it is better to wait for the Dutch army to gather in Batavia, and then give them a headache to wipe out the Dutch troops in one fell swoop, and eliminate future troubles forever."

Cheng Gangdao: "So that's the case, the emperor is indeed amazing."

Shang Yi said: "It is not entirely true. It is best to expand both sides when fighting, so it is best to defeat them one by one. Japan is close to Batavia and far away. Of course, it is necessary to conquer Japan first and then seize Batavia. Moreover, although the territory of the Netherlands is not large, it is the first naval power in Europe. It is known as a naval coachman on the sea. It should not be underestimated. Only one Nanyang Navy may not defeat the Dutch army. If Japan conquers Japan first, it can concentrate its troops to deal with the Netherlands. At that time, even if the Nanyang Navy is exhausted, the Beiyang Navy can also come up immediately. The Netherlands comes from afar, and logistics will make up for the difficulties, even if it consumes them, they will be exhausted."

After hearing this, everyone thought Shang Yi was a little too cautious, because since the formation of the Chinese Fubo Army, although the achievements have not been as good as those of the Huben Army, they have been proven to be a true victory and have never lost a single battle. Moreover, the two major fleets of the Fubo Army, the Beiyang and Nanyang Navy, have been formed, each with four squadrons. The number of warships in each squadron is between 25 and 30, and there are 225 warships of various sizes.

In December last year, another new first-class battleship was also delivered to the Fubo Army for use. It was named Qi Jiguang and became the flagship of the Nanyang Navy. In addition, the Beiyang Navy's flagship Huo Qubing and Shang Yi's royal ship Yue Fei, there are now three first-class battleships of the Fubo Army. In this era, only the British maritime monarch could compare with it. Therefore, even Marquis Gonzalez couldn't help but amazed that China's national strength was too strong.

In addition to the first-class battleships, there are now twelve second-class battleships, namely Jingniu, Yazi, Chaofeng, Pulao, Yuzi, Fengli, Fengli, Yuli, Yubian, Chiwen, Taotie, Jiaotu, Gongfu, Chiwen, Yinglong and other legendary beasts, as well as two old ships, Galaxy Battleship and Sea Rose. Each squadron uses at least the second-class battleship as flagships, and there are also other patrol, transportation and reserve ships, which can be said to be extremely powerful.

Therefore, the officers of the Navy were also full of confidence, believing that they could sweep the sea without any opponents, and defeating the Netherlands was no problem. However, the emperor was cautious about war and it was not a bad thing, and it was the emperor's speech, so naturally he did not dare to object.

Shang Yi was very clear that although the navy had been invincible since its establishment, it had not encountered a sufficient opponent. The Qing court and Japan's maritime power were basically not worth mentioning, while Spain won by its superiority of suppression. Therefore, the actual combat effectiveness of the navy has not been truly tested, while the Netherlands has the strongest naval force of this era, so it must not be underestimated.

Last year, Li Huamei's fleet fought against the Netherlands for three consecutive games. The warships and artillery used were more than the Netherlands, but they did not take any advantage. The losses were even greater than that of the Netherlands. If it weren't for the strong backstage, they would have been defeated by the Netherlands long ago. Therefore, Shang Yi believed that if he fought with the Dutch Navy, he must maintain more than twice the adversary's superior force to ensure a stable victory.
