Chapter 2395: The Japanese conquest ended, killing 2.6 million
Chapter 2392: The Japanese conquest ends, killing 2.6 million
Speaking of Zhu Di, since he led his troops to attack Japan, he has won many battles and smooth sailing, just like a god''s help.
The first occupied Shikoku Island and then attacked the northeastern region of Honshu. Now he has set all his ideas to Hokkaido.
Takeda, Ida and Oyzaki join forces, but they are still no match for the Ming army.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty occupies a wide area and has a large population in Japan, second only to the Qin Dynasty, and is more than the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.
Of course, most areas are barren lands, and they are far inferior to those in Kinki Noo and other places in terms of output and mining.
Under Fan Zeng''s reminder, Zhu Di was full of war with the Four-Nation Alliance from the beginning and did not interact with the Four-Nation Alliance at all. He always beats you and I, and he will make a fortune in silence.
But the Ming army''s strategy could be so smooth, which largely took advantage of the coalition forces.
If the Four-Nation Alliance had not restrained most of the Japanese army''s forces, how could the Ming army have seized so much chassis and population?
The Ming army took advantage of the Four-Nation Alliance, which is certain, especially after Oda Nobunaga''s death.
After receiving the news that Tokyo was captured and Oda Nobunaga died in battle, the forces of the three families all realized that Japan was in a desperate situation and that if they resisted stubbornly, they would have to die, so they surrendered to the Ming army one after another.
With the power of the Ming army alone, these forces may surrender, so this is not as simple as taking advantage, but taking a big advantage and robbing the fruits of victory that should belong to the coalition forces.
If it was just a advantage, it was actually nothing. After all, the Ming army also made efforts to restrain some of the Japanese troops and share some of the pressure on the coalition forces.
But in the current situation of uneven distribution of spoils, the Ming Dynasty was not within the alliance of four countries, and the income obtained was more than that of the three countries among the four countries, which naturally aroused the jealousy and covetness of the coalition forces.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu were originally for money. Although the benefits nowadays have greatly exceeded expectations, obviously no one would think that the money is small.
But Japan has basically been divided up, and the only areas that can be captured are Kanto, Toho and Hokkaido.
The Qin Dynasty has set its sights on the Kanto region and has occupied Kanto in order to voluntarily give up most of the interests of Kinki to compensate the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu were blocked by the Qin Dynasty on the road to the east. They could not stop the Qin from occupying Guandong, nor did they dare to turn against the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, it is the best way to take advantage of the Qin Dynasty''s rule over Guandong.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu were unable to conquer Guandong, but they wanted to continue to benefit. The only way was to seize the territory of Ming Dynasty.
Anyway, the Ming army was not in the alliance, and there was no burden on the Ming army.
In addition, the Ming army did take advantage of the coalition forces and robbed the fruits of victory that should have belonged to the coalition forces.
But the Ming Dynasty was not Japan after all. Once a war really started, it would likely trigger a chain reaction. In the end, the battle between the snipe and the clam made the Qin fisherman benefit.
Sun Ce, Xiahou Yuan, and Zhao Guangyi didn''t want to see this, so even if they were extremely dissatisfied with Zhu Di, they still restrained themselves and had not taken the initiative to cause trouble for the Ming army.
Zhou Yu now wants to take this opportunity to provoke conflicts between the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu and the Ming army, and make a war break out between the four kingdoms, thereby consuming the national strength of the four kingdoms and not being able to rest and recuperate.
"Military advisors, Wei, Song and Wu, are all guarded against our Qin Dynasty. If we propose to target the Ming army, it may arouse the vigilance of the Three Kingdoms." Zhou Yu said with a serious face.
"That''s right, this head cannot be started by our Qin Dynasty, but we can guide us and let Wei or Song states propose to jointly force Ming states to cede land to compensate for the losses of various countries in Japan.
This method is gentle and will not cause the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu to immediately conflict with the Ming army. Once the Ming army refuses, the conflict between the four countries will become more and more intense. Guo Jia said with a faint smile, his face full of himself, and it was obvious that Jizhu was already holding it.
"But what if Zhu Di agrees to ced the territory in Japan?" Zhou Yu asked.
Guo Jiaze shook his head and said, "The purpose of Zhu Di''s conquest of the Japanese was to establish his authority. If we force him to cede the land, then what is the majesty of his hard-working management?
Zhu Di would never submit easily, and the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu would not give up even if they did not get the benefits. This is an open plan. ”
“High, really high.”
Zhou Yu was overjoyed and completely relieved.
Guo Jia can be relieved by a hundred times when doing things.
Sure enough, at the meeting of the four countries the next day, Zhao Guangyi proposed in public that the Ming army could capture so much territory in Japan because the coalition forces restrained the main force of the Japanese army. The four countries could jointly issue war threats to the Ming army and force the Ming army to divide some chassis to compensate the coalition forces.
Zhao Guangyi felt that Zhu Di did not dare to go to war with the four countries, so as long as he issued a war threat, Zhu Di would definitely be obedient and cede land and pay compensation, and there would not be any war.
As soon as this discussion was released, it was recognized by Wei and Wu, and Zhou Yu also joined the situation. After all, it would be no harm to the Qin Dynasty.
Then, the four countries jointly sent envoys to force Zhu Di to cede land and give benefits to the coalition forces.
When things developed to this point, everything was as expected by Guo Jia. It went very smoothly, but there were still variables, and this variable was Yao Guangxiao.
Zhu Di was furious when he learned about the purpose of the coalition envoy. He did not think he had taken advantage of the coalition, after all, he had captured those territories himself.
But now the four-nation coalition forces came together to force him to cede land and even threaten war. How could Zhu Di agree to such robbery?
Zhu Di''s trip was mainly to establish his authority and to capture the hearts of the generals of the Qi army, so that the Ming and Qi countries could truly be united.
All the generals of Qi army are staring at him now. If he surrenders so easily, wouldn’t all your efforts be done to the point?
Zhu Di is also a tough person. He knew that if a war broke out, the Ming army''s strength in Japan would definitely not be a match for the Four-Nation Alliance, but it would be impossible to use this to force him to surrender.
Just as Zhu Di was about to refuse harshly, military advisor Yao Guangxiao persuaded him to stop.
Yao Guangxiao clearly said that now the enemy is strong and we are weak, and it is irrational to fight head-on. If you can save small profits but protect big profits, it doesn’t matter if you give up small profits.
As for whether the coalition forces will be more aggressive after the Ming Dynasty bowed their heads?
Yao Guangxiao believed that no, in the previous three Central Plains wars, the Ming Dynasty had already expressed its determination not to be afraid of war and not to be afraid of war, and it really forced the Ming army to be anxious. If the war really started, it would not be a good thing for the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.
As for whether Zhu Di''s prestige will plummet after he bowed his head, what will the generals of the Qi army think of Zhu Di?
Yao Guangxiao felt that when the country survived and died, it would be better to win people''s hearts. It would not be too late to convince these generals when the country''s power stabilized. At worst, it would take more time.
Yao Guangxiao''s advice made Zhu Di enlightened, and he finally decided to give up some of his interests in exchange for peace. He used Yao Guangxiao as his envoy to negotiate with the four-nation coalition forces and demonstrated his strength to him.
After a long journey, Yao Guangxiao finally arrived in Tokyo. But looking up, it was clearly in broad daylight, but what he saw was a gloomy scene.
Yao Guangxiao knew that Tokyo was the capital of Japan and the most prosperous city in Japan, but what he saw now was dilapidated and could not even find a living people.
The white bones are covered with yin energy, making people sweat coldly on their backs.
Yao Guangxiao understood Feng Shui and Earth Veins. He could see at a glance that the reason why the yin energy on this land was so heavy was caused by killing.???????Is it like how big a killing will change the appearance of the entire area? It''s really unimaginable.
Yao Guangxiao''s arrival and expressed his willingness to give in, which surprised Zhou Yu and Guo Jia, but Zhu Di''s concessions were too small, and even the four countries would be evenly divided. Obviously, it is impossible to satisfy the appetite of the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.
"Is this the sincerity of the Ming King? Zhu Di is serving beggars, right?" Zhao Guangyi said with a gloomy face.
As soon as this statement came out, the people from the Wei, Song and Wu became riots one after another. They were obviously dissatisfied with the conditions of the Ming army and wanted to use this to test the pressure on Yao Guangxiao.
Seeing this, Yao Guangxiao refuted neither humbly nor arrogantly, clearly saying that the results achieved by the Ming army were obtained by the sacrifice of the soldiers, and the Ming army was never afraid of war.
Zhou Yu and Guo Jia were all happy when they heard this. The tougher the Ming army''s attitude was, the more Da Qin could provoke it.
But unexpectedly, after a tough stance, Yao Guangxiao made a big turn of 180 degrees, refuting the unreasonable demands of the coalition forces one by one, and the compensation of the Ming army was completely reasonable. With both soft and hard, the Wei, Song and Wu side caught him off guard.
In addition, Yao Guangxiao was also good at diverting conflicts. He knew that the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu did not want to go to war with the Ming army, for fear of letting the Qin fishermen benefit, but he was not good at making some words publicly, so after the meeting, he came to Zhao Guangyi and others alone.
Under Yao Guangxiao''s lobbying, Zhao Guangyi, Xiahou Yuan and Sun Ce''s attitudes have been much looser and are no longer as tough as before.
Seeing this, Guo Jia speculated that the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu might have reached a consensus with the Ming army in private, and that the matter of forcing Zhu Di to retreat would be a waste.
However, Guo Jia didn''t care. If this plan failed, he proposed another plan to let Ming Kingdom join the alliance, and let Zhu Di personally participate in the alliance and the division of power in Japan.
This plan is another open plan. Now most of Japan is under the rule of the Four-Nation Alliance, so it is obviously not that easy for Ming Dynasty to survive.
Once the Ming Kingdom also joins the alliance, Zhu Di must come to the alliance in person. As long as Zhu Di can be brought over, the initiative will be with Guo Jia.
Zhu Di''s value alone, even all the Ming army in Japan are big. As long as he can be killed, the Forbidden City of Wei and Song Dynasty will definitely attack the Ming Dynasty next year, and the Fourth Central Plains War will surely break out.
———
Just as Guo Jia and Yao Guangxiao were fighting each other''s wits, the good news from Japan had also been sent back to Luoyang.
[Dingdong, the battle against Japan has officially ended, and the inventory has begun...
The Battle of Japan lasted for a total of three and a half months, from the Battle of Tsushima to the end of the surrender of Nobuhiro Oyzaki to the end of the Ming Dynasty, including:
In the battle against Ma Hai, killing 45,000 enemies, capturing 15,000, and losing nine thousand of them;
In the post-Fengfeng victory, he killed 30,000 enemies and lost 1,000 of them;
Fei Hou had a great victory, killing 50,000 enemies, capturing 10,000, and losing three thousand of them;
The battle in the Southern Jiuzhou, killing the enemy...
The Western War...
Echigo''s war...
Haruhishan City offensive and defensive battle…
The Kinki War…
…
The battle of Danwei killed 200,000 enemies, lost 100,000 to himself, and captured 30,000;
In the Battle of Kanto, killing 150,000 enemies, and losing 15,000 to himself;
In the Tokyo offensive and defensive battle, they killed 220,000 enemies, lost 160,000 to themselves, and captured 40,000.
According to statistics, the total number of enemies in the Battle of Japan was annihilated by 860,000,000, and 480,000 were lost (including 60,000 Han people). After deducting casualties, a total of 4,800 summoning points were rewarded.
Since this battle was not a battle between the Qin army and one country, but was initiated by the four countries, the Qin army''s contributions accounted for 60% of them, and the rewards were also given at 60%, with a total of 2,880 summon points.
The host currently has a total of 10,075 summoning points. 】
In the systematic statistics, in the battle against Japan, the coalition forces killed 860,000 Japanese troops, and their own casualties reached 480,000.
But among the 480,000 people who were killed or injured, only 60,000 Han people, accounting for half of the Japanese coalition forces, and the remaining 420,000 were all surrendered to the Japanese army.
To be honest, without these Japanese traitors, it would be impossible to conquer the more than one million Japanese troops with just a 120,000 Han coalition.
In addition, the Han people did not kill the most, but the Japanese killed more.
"Sure enough, no matter which country or ethnic group, traitors are the most hated existence."
Ying Hao said with an exclaimed look, randomly activate the world map function and click on the location of the Japanese island.
【Japan
Monarch: None
Territories: Jiuzhou (Qin, Wei, Song and Wu), Four Kingdoms (Ming), Benzhou (Qin, Wei, Song and Wu), Hokkaido (Ming);
State: occupied by the five kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, Wu and Ming
Total population: 3.73 million
National forces: 580,000 (180,000 Qin Xiejun, 100,000 Song Xiejun, 90,000 Wei Xiejun, 90,000 Wu Xiejun, 120,000 Ming Xiejun;)
…】
From this report, Ying Hao saw a lot of information.
In this battle, Japan lost 1.34 million troops alone, and more than 1.1 million civilians died. The total population was probably 2.6 million.
The Han people only sent 120,000 Japanese coalition forces, which caused 2.6 million casualties to Japan. On average, each soldier killed 21.6 Japanese.
Of course, among the Japanese who died, 60% were caused by the Japanese, and only 40% were caused by the Han people. However, this is still a terrifying number. After a split of equal numbers, eight people still voted for each soldier.
Under the scourge of the five kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, Wu and Ming, Japan, which originally had a population of 6.3 million, lost 1.34 million troops, more than 1.1 million square meters, and only 3.73 million people remained.
Although Japan still has a population of more than 3.7 million, most of them are still young, young, and young, and the total number of them is not 400,000.
To be honest, the Han coalition forces completely cut off the rise of Japan with this battle alone. If there is no external force intervention, the population of the Japanese island will probably be in negative growth in the next few decades.
