In fact, the combat plan against Japan has been underway. In recent years, the excuse of the chaos in Japan's domestic order, and the safety of the Ming merchants was not well protected. For this reason, the Ming Dynasty has continuously increased its troops to the Kagoshima Concession by 3,000. Now the Ming garrisons in the Kagoshima County Concession have already had a brigade of troops. Not only are they well-equipped, but they are equipped with heavy weapons such as artillery, but they are also elite Liaodong Army.

Satsuma Shimazu had no choice but to increase troops from the Ming Dynasty to the concession, because Japan had already been full of war, and the power of the rebel army was getting stronger and stronger, slowly developing from a mob to regularization, almost occupying the territory of Kyushu Island. Satsuma and Osumi were left to the south, and they could maintain their rule. Because of the rebel army, except for the killed princes and nobles on Kyushu Island, almost all other nobles gathered in Kagoshima County and requested protection from the Ming Concession, because as long as they entered the Ming concession in Kagoshima and had the protection of the Ming army, they would be basically safe and worry-free. Of course, these people spent a considerable price for safety, which was inevitable. After all, there was no free lunch in the world.

With the support of Daming and darkness, the rebel army obtained a large number of weapons and resources, so they survived by the Tokugawa Shogunate army and occupied a piece of land. However, Shiro Amakusa was just an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. This was already seen before Zhu Yinglong decided to support him with the eliminated waste weapons. Zhu Yinglong did not intend to help this white-eyed wolf conquer the world, but just wanted to make chaos in Japan, and the more chaotic it, the better.

The Ming Dynasty not only secretly supported Amakusa Shiro, but also sold weapons to the Japanese shogunate, making great fortunes in war, and even focused on the largest silver mine found in Japan so far, Ishimi Silver Mine, which was the largest silver mine in Asia from the 16th to the early 20th century. Zhu Yinglong was salivating about this silver mine. Japan lacked mining technology and the mining volume was also very small. However, it would be different if it was handed over to the Ming Dynasty for mining. However, he also knew that this was a source of wealth for the Japanese shogunate. No matter what, the Japanese shogunate could not completely hand over the silver mine to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty proposed to cooperate in mining, but was rejected by the Japanese shogunate. Tokugawa Iemitsu directly closed the door to the cooperation.

The Ming Dynasty had already predicted this result, so it didn't care. Anyway, this silver mine would eventually fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. The current sporadic mining only allowed the Japanese shogunate to taste a little sweetness at most.

In fact, without the support of the Daming and darkness, Shiro Amakusa would sooner or later be wiped out by the Japanese shogunate. Because of the limitations of peasant uprisings, there is no unified action program, and there is no strict constitution, failure is inevitable. The reason why he persisted for these years was to consume Japan's war potential and drag down Japan's national strength. Although the protracted war will greatly enhance the Japanese army's combat effectiveness and combat effectiveness, can a strong ant beat a lion?

The most direct way to provoke a war is to create trouble. Of course, Japan does not have the courage to do this, but it is obvious that it is necessary to attack Japan. The party that provokes the trouble is naturally the Ming Dynasty, but the Japanese shogunate has to bear the crime of provoking the trouble, because there is no reason, this is power!

There is no one else who takes charge of the Japanese campaign, only Hong Chengchou, and of course his partner Song Xiance is indispensable, because "The Strategy for the Pairing Japanese" itself is the masterpiece of them, and there is no more suitable commander than the two of them.

Hong Chengchou did not need much for the requirements for military force. He only had 100,000 yuan, and of course he also needed 100,000 reserves. The 100,000 reserves were used to occupy and maintain local order. In other words, the troops who attacked the tough only had 100,000. Objectively considering the difficulty of overseas war transportation, when it was then replenished, there was no need to worry at all, because the concession had started secretly stockpiling food and grass several years ago, which was enough for the 200,000 army to eat and drink for three years in Japan. Not to mention that there was a steady stream of domestic transports there!

During the Tokugawa Shogunate period, Japan's population was about 250 and 600 million. Including the wars in recent years, Japan's domestic population had sharply decreased, and the total number should be about 20 million, and the total number of troops in the country was only about 500 and 600,000. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi led a large army to invade North Korea, saying that it was the army of the whole country, but in fact it was only half of that war. According to inference, forty years of cultivation and rest, it would be good to support the consumption of 500,000 and 600,000 troops with Japan's domestic capabilities. Of course, if you include the private armed forces of the nobles, ninjas, samurai, etc., then there would be more. But these are just mobs. Sneak attacks and assassinations may be okay. They can only stand aside in regular wars!

Daming is not unprepared for Japanese ninjas, which survive in the dark. After all, if they start assassinating our generals, it will be hard to defend against them. So at the beginning of the preparation for the war against Japan, the court has secretly established a team. This team is specially designed for special states such as ninjas. Although the Royal Special Forces can also be competent, the Royal Special Forces are an army after all, and are a combination of a group of people. If used to deal with despicable creatures like ninjas, it would be useless. They should establish meritorious services on the battlefield. Although the Military Intelligence Department also has such institutions.

, but it is just an intelligence agency, not a violent agency, so the Dragon Group of the Ming Dynasty was quietly established. This is a special force specially trained and protected important personnel in the Ming Dynasty. They are a bit similar to a guard force, but they are not ordinary guards, but special guards. Half of their responsibilities are to protect some important officials and important talents and generals. Sometimes they will deal with some special events, such as the intelligence department provided by the Intelligence Department, and the Dragon Group dispatched to attack the enemy's intelligence personnel or sabotage personnel in the Ming Dynasty, etc. In short, this is a special force composed of masters, which also includes protecting the emperor's safety!

In order to deal with Japanese ninjas, Zhu Yinglong sent a representative dragon group representing the highest force of the Ming Dynasty. After receiving Lin Rong's training on ninjas, the dragon group entered Japan under the cover of various identities and began a strike against Japanese ninjas!

For a time, the two most famous teams of Japanese ninjas, "Koga" and "Iga" were all inexplicably hit and suffered heavy losses. The ninjas did not live in peace. They often had friction because their loyal masters were different. Assassination and sneak attacks were common. The dragon group quietly landed in Japan and was still so familiar with the Japanese ninja ways. Before the dragon group was discovered, all the ninjas suspected their enemies.

After all, the enemy is the one who knows him best. The Dragon Group deliberately staggered the time, making it an illusion of the other party's intentional revenge. Now the ninjas in Japan started to make a fuss. The dog bites the dog and the dragon group quietly hibernates. The ninjas can't find out the existence of the Dragon Group at all, and they don't know the existence of the Dragon Group at all. They suddenly overturned the sky. Although the ninja war is invisible, it is even more terrifying, which further aggravates the violent turmoil in Japanese society.

The chaos and turmoil in Japan were a huge opportunity for the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with the hatred of the Japanese shogunate towards the Catholic sect, the Middle-earth Buddhism from the Ming Dynasty was greatly developed. When the Japanese people were in distress, they prayed for the blessing of the gods. Buddhism acted as a compassionate savior. While preaching and spreading the system of the Ming Dynasty, more and more people in Japan worshiped the Celestial Empire. In particular, these Buddhists had long been used by Zhu Yinglong. They secretly told the Japanese that they were the same ancestor as the Ming Dynasty in ancient times. Their ancestors did not dare to go home because they did not complete the tasks of the emperor's sect at that time. They actually took root and sprouted in Japan, which was actually of the same root. However, the Ming and Japan are two countries now. Although they are the same ancestor, the Ming Dynasty could not help them and guide the hatred of the people to the current shogunate and local vassals.

Due to the greed of the nobles and princes, the taxes have become heavier year by year, but the harvest in the fields has become worse year by year. The people's grievances are constantly deepening. The Japanese shogunate only saw Buddhism helping them to appease the people and let them quietly accept the rule of the shogunate, but they did not expect that they had already been on a powder barrel, which could be blown to pieces at any time!

The more chaotic the Japanese country is, the more war it is, the more it has aggravated the people's dissatisfaction with the Tokugawa shogunate, and has also increased their yearning for a happy life in their country that belongs to the same ancestor!

In order to seek immortality medicine, Qin Shihuang's story of Xu Fu traveling to the east with three thousand boys and girls to seek medicine was circulated in Japan, and some research has been verified. The ancient Japanese documents "The King of Gods", "Lin Luoshan's Collection of Essays", "The Biography of Japan", and "Tongwen Tongkao" say that Xu Fu was the Emperor Shenwu of Japan. At the same time, Xu Fu was also respected by the Japanese people as the God of Agriculture, the God of Sericulture and the God of Medicine. Japan began to believe that except for some natives, they were all descendants of the Qin people, that is, they were in line with the Chinese nation.

"Tongwen Tongkao" says, "There is a land near Kumano. It is said that the natives are the old place where Xu Fu lives. From this, there is a Xu Fu Temple in seven or eight miles. The ancient tombs are mixed, and it is said that it is the tomb of his servants. If this old trace is still passed down today, and there are also the Qin clans, the Qin people's coming and going are inevitable." The "Qin Xu Fu Inscription" of Shinguchi Town, Wakayama, describes it as follows: "If you can be Penglai in the East China Sea today, you have no choice but to seek the imperial kingdom, so it is said that Japan will be able to obtain it."
