Chapter 441: Japanese Calculation
Chapter 441 Japan Calculation
Hearing this, the Blood Knife Ancestor was a little surprised.
He thought Li Yun would ask him to lead the new recruits who had just been recruited from all over the country to fight, but soon he understood that Li Yun was going to enter the final struggle.
"Okay, since Your Majesty has said that, I have nothing to say. I promised you to lead a large army to the Western Liao Kingdom. Even if I have fought my life, I will still defend the Western Liao Kingdom and wait for your support."
After saying that, the Blood Knife Ancestor retreated.
Only Yelu Zhen was present without Li Yun's mission. He lost the desert area in the northern desert and left Guzhu Kingdom with no way out. It can be said that he was a great crime.
But Li Yun can't kill him at this moment.
Killing him is not only not good for Li Yun, but it has many disadvantages!
"Yelu Zhen, I will ask you a question. If I give you a chance, are you sure you can take back the desert land in the northern desert for me?"
Li Yun's sudden question caught Yelu Zhen off guard, but he quickly replied, pondered for a while, bowed to Li Yun and said, "Your Majesty, if you are willing to give me another chance, I promise you that even if I want to send my road out, I will definitely take back the desert area in the northern desert!"
"Okay, since you have this courage, I will give you 200,000 from the recruits and allocate the hundreds of red-clothed cannons left in Yebei City. Although there are only one hundred red-clothed cannons, as long as you use them properly, you will definitely be able to achieve extraordinary results."
Li Yun ordered.
Yelu Zhen bowed and left.
...
Emperor Yunze, who is far away in Japan, is summoning ministers to discuss matters.
"Luo Hejun comes to news that Li Yun is almost unable to resist it. He asked our Japanese troops to send troops to attract the attention of two people from the east and support them strongly. My dear friends, please see, is this feasible?"
As soon as Emperor Yunze finished his words, the new defense minister Matsumoto Yilang stood up and bowed to Emperor Yunze: "Your Majesty, at present, Japan's strength has just recovered to the point of splitting. Now we have not accumulated enough supplies. If we can send troops rashly, it would be fine if we can win all the way. If something happens in the middle, then we will be very dangerous. Moreover, our only ally is unable to take care of ourselves. To put it bluntly, we are just going to bury him at this time."
As soon as Matsumoto Yilang's words came out, they immediately received recognition from many people.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Defense is right. Our family sent technicians and brought red cannons. The Guzhu Kingdom cannot defeat the Liang army. It only means that Li Yun is incompetent. For such an incompetent person, if we cooperate with him, wouldn't it drag our Japan into the abyss?"
"Your Majesty, don't pay attention to Guzhu Kingdom. Without this ally, we can find other allies!"
Seeing that all the faction in charge of defense disagreed, Emperor Yunze looked at Cabinet Prime Minister Masayoshi Miyamoto.
The Miyamoto family was considered aristocrat in Japan, and their children have served as senior officials in Japan in all dynasties.
Miyamoto Masayoshi studied in the Nakamoto early, and he yearned for and studied the culture of the Nakamoto.
He saw Emperor Yunze looking at him, stood up, bowed and said, "The Liang army occupied the Central Plains, went south and westward to annex the South Vietnam and Dali Kingdoms. Recently, it subjugated the Western Xia and marched into the Western Regions. If even the Western Regions were taken down by the Liang Kingdom, the power of Liang Kingdom could penetrate deep into the Eurasian inland. With the strength of Liang Kingdom, even if it did not take down the Eurasian continent, he could control small countries in various parts of the Eurasian inland with his strong economy and technology. If he reached any point, he would be the world's number one in both territory and in all aspects."
"If we reach this point, our country will launch another attack on Liang State, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg."
Emperor Yunze and all the civil and military ministers were silent.
Miyamoto Masayoshi's words make a lot of sense.
"Then Prime Minister, do you mean to lead my troops to fight?"
Emperor Yunze asked staring at Miyamoto Masayoshi.
Miyamoto Masayoshi shook his head.
"Your Majesty, you should be very clear that if the strength of Japan alone is not enough to fight against Liang State. We need a strong ally. Guzhu State was originally our best ally, but unfortunately he was arrogant again, otherwise he would have fallen to such a level. Therefore, I feel that we should not continue to waste our energy and manpower for this country that will reach the end at any time."
Emperor Yunze was a little confused and said, "Prime Minister, you don't let me send troops, and you also said that our country needs a powerful ally. You tell me truthfully, what are you thinking in your heart?"
Miyamoto Masayoshi bowed and said, "Actually, His Majesty chose the wrong allies at the beginning. Although Li Yun from Guzhu Kingdom is a dead rival to Wu Tian of Liang Kingdom, he will die with him, Guzhu Kingdom is only a small country in the Western Regions, and its strength is not as good as the four major khanates in the Western Regions. If he hadn't used the disciples of the Blood Knife Sect who were spread in the Western Regions to sneak attack the kings of the small countries in the northern Western Regions, annex their land, and become the fifth powerful force in the Western Regions. He deceived the Tsar Kingdom to fight against Liang Kingdom, and then took the opportunity to eliminate the other four major khanates to unify the Western Regions."
"So essentially, Li Yun's foundation for unifying the Western Regions is unstable, and such an allies are no longer what we need. On the contrary, I think that the Tsarist Kingdom is a good ally."
As soon as these words were said, they immediately attracted many opposition.
"The Tsar Kingdom and Liang have already negotiated peace, how could it turn to us? What's more, the Tsar Kingdom is a country that loves land as much as its life. If we cooperate with him and take over Liang Kingdom, most of the land will definitely be annexed by them. Although we are stronger than them in the red cannon, we are far from enough population and military strength. If we fight, we may not have good results."
Emperor Yunze frowned. He had thought about the Tsarist Kingdom, but his concerns were just as the minister above said.
After Miyamoto Masayoshi and others refuted it, they said: "I can understand the concerns of all ministers. Since I dare to raise them, there is naturally a way to prevent this problem."
This remark aroused Emperor Yunze's curiosity.
He stared at Miyamoto Masayoshi. The old man looked confident and must have had a good idea.
"Prime Minister, since you already have a good idea, then tell me quickly and don't sway my appetite like this."
Since Emperor Yunze has spoken, Miyamoto Masayoshi will not hide it.
"Your Majesty, recently, a ship overseas has encountered storms and took refuge at the coastal port of Japan. I happened to patrol the port and met the people on the ship. It turned out that they were from England to Liang's trade..."
"English?"
Emperor Yunze was curious, he had never heard of the name of this country.
