"Conquer the Li Dynasty!"

"Conquer Korea!"

"Conquer the Li Dynasty!"

Japanese country.

Edo.

The Japanese people's sentiment in support of the war was particularly strong during this period.

All kinds of people began to pour into the streets, praising Mizuno Masashige's war in the Li Dynasty. Only war can save the Japanese country, and only conquest can save the Japanese country! During these days, this argument has begun to ferment in the Japanese country.

And it's out of control.

Tokugawa family.

Tokugawa Shogunate.

Until this historical stage, the Tokugawa Shogunate had ruled Japan for more than a hundred years. Since the Sekigahara War in 1600, the Edo shogunate was established. Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed by the emperor as the general to conquer barbarians and established the shogunate in Edo.

Later, in 1605, Tokugawa Ieyasu was determined to give way to his third son, Tokugawa Hidetada, in order to establish the hereditary system of shogun. At that time, he defeated the opposition of the Toyotomi clan and the emperor in one fell swoop. From then on, although in Japan, the emperor was in Kyoto

, also has high prestige, and is nominally the supreme ruler of the country, but in fact, the real power is completely in the hands of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Edo.

It also became the largest city in the world at that time!

How prosperous was Edo at that time? Few people can imagine it. At the beginning of the 18th century, the population of Edo exceeded one million, and at its peak reached 1.3 million, making it the world's largest population at that time.

It was a big city. At that time, the Longyan Dynasty was caught in civil strife and the situation was not yet stable. The population of some cities was not as good as that of Edo.

certainly.

In name, the capital of Japan was still Kyoto.

But in fact, Edo has become the political center, economic center, and military center of the country.

Tokugawa family.

At this time, he was sitting in the shogunate, with obvious worry on his face.

He was the eleventh general of the Tokugawa family who conquered the barbarians. It must be said that Edo during Tokugawa Ieqi's period had begun to decline out of control. After coming to power, Tokugawa Ieqi dismissed Tanuma Yiji and appointed him

Matsudaira Sadanobu was a senior administrative official. After Matsudaira Sadanobu took office, he immediately overturned the mercantilism of Tanuma Eiji and changed it to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. The shogunate's lenient reform began.

However.

Facts have proven that Matsudaira Sadanobu's policy was a big mistake.

From a historical perspective, the geographical location and climatic conditions of the Japanese country are completely unsuitable for extensive farming. In addition, in recent years, the Little Ice Age has arrived, and this policy of allocating national efforts to develop agriculture has brought devastating consequences to the Japanese country.

A nationwide famine lasted for several years, and peasant uprisings occurred frequently.

Tokugawa Iesai had begun to lose patience with Matsudaira Sadanobu.

What kind of person is he?

Historical records show that when Tokugawa Ieki was a child, he had a hobby that was different from others. He would let crabs and chickens trample each other and watch them beat each other to death. This shows that this person was cruel and cold-blooded.

Just at this time.

The Mizuno family appeared.

He did not expect that as the son of Mizuno Tadakuni, Mizuno Masashige, he would unexpectedly unite Edo in this new way. Peasants no longer rebelled, businessmen no longer smuggled, and feudal lords no longer intrigued.

Everyone started shouting, "Conquer the Li Dynasty, conquer the Li Dynasty."

For the first time, the Emperor in Kyoto sent a letter.

I very much support the Mizuno family’s decision to conquer the Li Dynasty, and if possible, conquer more places!

The Tokugawa family was worried.

All the people cried out for war.

This isn't a bad thing though.

However, Edo's current financial situation is not healthy. Is fighting a war that simple?

Weapons and equipment, food for war horses, herbs, everything must be prepared?

The same goes for Mizuno Masashige. If reinforcements are needed, they will be 200,000!

Good guy.

With 200,000 soldiers going out for the war, Tokugawa Ieki felt that the entire Edo was going to be skinned!

"General, Mizuno Masashige, here comes another urgent letter!"

"General... approaching the city of Li Dynasty, troops and horses have been prepared. Just food and fodder..."

"General..."

Within a period of time, many people came in to report, and next to Tokugawa Ieki, several officials were also having heated discussions.

The shogunate era.

Others admit that your Tokugawa family is the strongest, but if you want to use my soldiers and horses to fight, you must have at least a minimum financial subsidy, right? These generals are not fools.

And the Tokugawa family all did the math...

Another 200,000 will be spent on the expedition.

The entire Edo is in danger.

"General, you can't hesitate any longer!"

Mizuno Tadokuni was also advising from the side.

Tokugawa Jiaqi took a deep breath: "Prepare food and grass and transport them to the Li Dynasty as quickly as possible. Other soldiers and horses will provide support first!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

This time, Japan made a desperate move!

But they believe they can win!

Japanese people are born gamblers.

"yes!"

...

Compared with Japan's difficulties.

King Wei is very happy recently.

"Ah ha ha ha ha, twenty million gold? Twenty million gold? Oops, I'm so embarrassed, how can this be done, how can it be done..."

Facing the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce, the big shopkeeper in Qingzhou, this dark-faced and bearded prince, his face almost burst into laughter.

While saying that he couldn't help it, he still couldn't hold it back and went over to look at the box of banknotes before having someone carry them to the back hall.

"King Wei...the matter of sending troops..."

The big shopkeeper in Qingzhou chuckled.

King Wei deliberately glared at him: "You Liangzhou people, do you really treat Gu as an outsider? Huh? Gu and Liu Shilang are people in the same boat! One will be prosperous, one will suffer! Liu Shilang is in trouble,

Even if there is no such money, Qingzhou will send troops to suppress the border! It's too foreign, it's too foreign!"

"That's right, that's right. Sir, I just think that sending out a large army will consume a lot of money. Some subsidies are just your intention."

The big shopkeeper laughed along with me.

The King of Wei laughed and said, "Okay! I'll summon General Chen!"

Twenty million gold!

An army of 150,000!

On the same day, the King of Wei decisively sent his second most powerful general, Chen Zhen, with an army of 150,000 to Liaodong for what was called a military exercise, a spring and summer training exercise.

The whole Longyan took a breath.

The entire Li Dynasty was also in an uproar.

Li Yan was shocked.

The Party of the West and the Party of the South, isn’t this the case?

this......

What does this mean?

Didn't the order to kill Liu Shilang come from you, Long Yan?

What's going on, the army is coming again!

Good guy.

You say it's a military exercise, but where the military exercise is, apart from Li Chao, there is only one Yalu River, okay?

no......

What kind of shoal landing drill are you doing? What do you mean?
