Chapter 368 Rakshasa

"Rather than attacking South Vietnam and Nanyang, I am more inclined to attack the Japanese and Japanese first."

Ying Yi took a sip of tea and smiled at Yan Ermei: "The situation in the south is complicated and the environment is dangerous. We are not fully prepared yet. But the Japanese and Japanese are already right under our noses, so we have to take them."

Yan Ermei said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Ying Yi laughed: "It's obvious. The Japanese have a large population. If they were to capture them, they would get tens of millions of slaves. This is one of them. Secondly, the Japanese have a lot of raw materials needed by the empire!"

He said: "Why did the Japanese and Japanese foreign trade come from the gold and silver they paid for ships and cars? Because there are many gold and silver mineral deposits on a few small islands, the reserves are almost as much as those of China. Today, the construction of the empire is booming. The amount of gold alloy required is extremely large. Gold and silver are its raw materials. Private recycling and increased mining efforts alone are still far from enough. New sources need to be opened up. If the Japanese can be conquered as soon as possible, there will be a gap in gold and silver raw materials. You will get relief.”

Yan Ermei was startled and suddenly said: "That's it. I didn't expect His Majesty to be thoughtful. I didn't expect that there are many gold and silver mines in the small Japanese island?"

Ying Yi smiled and said: "North Korea has been annexed. A few days ago, there were reports from the Liaodong Theater that troops have been stationed in Kuwu, and they are already preparing for a pincer attack. If we capture the opposite horse again, we will prepare a large army and send it out in full force. They can reach the Japanese homeland in the day or night. At most In February and March, we will sweep it across. Compared with using troops to the south, it is easier to do so."

The so-called Kuwu is Sakhalin Island hundreds of years later. In the previous dynasty, Nuergandusi was established, including Kuwu. Three guard posts were also set up on this large island, namely Nanghar Guard, Uleh Guard and Polo River Guard.

By the later stage, these three guardhouses had become useless. As for the rise of Donglu, probably no one talks about it anymore.

After Ying Yi defeated the Donglu, Zhu Bingkun sent his troops in the Liaodong theater to kill the remnants, and then turned to Baishan and Blackwater to defeat North Korea. Then he sent his troops to continue northward. Not long ago, he finally re-incorporated Kuwu Island into the rule of Daxia and stationed troops on it.

The southern tip of Kuwu Island faces Ezo Island. The so-called Ezo Island was what became Hokkaido. The so-called title of the Shogun's so-called barbarian general was aimed at the Ezo of Ezo Island.

Under this premise, if Tsushima Island is acquired again, the situation will go even further. Tsushima Island is located in the strait between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese and Japanese mainland. It has always been the barrier between Japan and Nagasaki and the gateway to the outside world. Once Tsushima Island was captured, the Japanese-Japanese barrier was suddenly lost. Under the attack from the north and the south, Yi Ye was swept across.

Yan Ermei's mind changed and she understood, but she said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Japanese clan of Ma Nairi will not be ceded easily."

Ying Yi smiled and said: "This is natural. Who is willing to give up the front door of his home to others? It's just a casual move. Could it be that without Tsushima Island, my army can't attack it? I'm not ready yet. It doesn't matter if the Japanese quarrel with you. If you can get it, it's better, if you can't, let it go."

A north-south pincer attack is naturally good, but Tsushima is not necessary. With the strength of the navy, even the Japanese and Japanese could not resist Tsushima Island or not.

Yan Ermei understood.

When the empire was first established, everything was complicated. It is necessary to rectify the internal situation while also focusing on the world. Naturally, many things cannot be prepared in a short time.

Ying Yi did not need any reason to send troops against the Japanese. Although many ministers in the DPRK criticized this point, there was nothing they could do about it. When discussing strategies on how to increase manpower to promote domestic affairs earlier, external conquests were already on the agenda.

But after a few months, it was not ready yet.

Originally, if the Japanese did not send an envoy, when the time came, Ying Yi would just send out troops without saying a word. Now that he is here, Ying Yi is happy to argue.

Pulling things back and forth, looking for a reason to put the blame on the Japanese, so that the ministers of the DPRK and China would have nothing to criticize.

And Tokugawa Mitsutomo didn't know this.

As Ying Yi expected, after being repulsed, Tokugawa Mitsutomo did not think about food and tea, and began to visit the ministers of the DPRK and China frequently the next day.

Starting from Zheng Yunzhi, the Heavenly Official of Yige, every one of them was given generous gifts and visited one by one. I hope I can persuade them, blow some wind in Ying Yi's ears, and agree to the request of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Not many people accepted the generous gift, but promised to mention it in front of Ying Yi. This made Tokugawa Mitsutomo very uneasy. But he had no choice but to stay in the post house and wait anxiously for the news.

Soon after, an unknown minister mentioned Tsushima to Tokugawa Mitsutomo, and then the matter was included in the negotiations.

During this period, Ying met Tokugawa Mitsutomo twice more and insisted that he wanted Tsushima Island. He only said that since Japan and Japan wanted to trade, Tsushima Island should be given up as a place for exchange.

How dare Tokugawa Mitsuyo agree to this?

So while sending people back to the country to ask for instructions from Tokugawa Iemitsu, he was still entangled here.

If things continue like this, when Ying Yi is ready, he will definitely find a reason to launch his troops directly. But new news from Zhu Bingkun in the Liaodong Theater made Ying Yi shift his attention.

"Rakshasa?"

Ying Yi said curiously: "Show me the battle report."

The military aircraft office praised the painting and presented the battle report.

Ying Yi opened the book, glanced at ten lines, and finished reading it in a few breaths.

Then he clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't expect that the Rakshasa people have already extended their tentacles right under my nose."

The so-called Rakshasa people are Russians. At this time, it should still be Tsarist Russia. According to the battle report, they were encountered in the process of chasing down the last remnants of Donglu.

This battle report, in Ying Yi's view, is both an end and a beginning.

The end is the end of the Donglu, and the beginning is the beginning of the empire's first contact with Tsarist Russia in the north.

It turned out that the soldiers in the Liaodong War Zone caught the traces of Xiaonu Chief Fulin fleeing deep in the mountains and wild forests. They walked all the way and happened to run into the Rakshasa people grilling Xiaonu Chieftain.

It is ridiculous to say that Donglu was not weak at first, but in the end, the little slave chief was roasted, which made people feel a little incredible.

To Ying Yi, it was nothing if the little slave chief was roasted. Ever since Donglu was defeated, it was nothing in Ying Yi's eyes. The constant pursuit was actually incidental to the process of regaining the territory that Zhu Xia had held since ancient times.

However, Ying Yi paid more attention to the matter of running into a Rakshasa.

The soldiers in the Liaodong war zone encountered the Rakshasa people and although they killed them all, Ying Yi believed that there were more than a few hundred Rakshasa people operating in the Far East.

He said: "Send the order to Zhu Bingkun and ask him to investigate the situation of the Rakshasa people in the northeastern area for me."

After thinking for a while, he added: "If you find it, don't be polite, just clean it up."

After understanding the painting, he bowed and said, "Here."

After the people from the Zan Painting Department of the Military Aircraft Mansion left, Yan Ermei on the side said: "Your Majesty, is it too rough to clean up directly? I heard that Rakshasa is also a big country."

Ying Yi laughed loudly when he heard this: "Do you know what kind of country Rakshasa is?"

Yan Ermei shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Ying Yi smiled and said: "The Rakshasa's home country is still thousands of miles away. It borders the barbarians in the west and there are always wars. Although the Rakshasa people have extended their tentacles to Liaodong, I can conclude that this is not the Rakshasa official house. What they did. Cut off these tentacles. The Rakshasa government won't know about it for a while. Even if they know it, let's not say whether they are willing to pay attention to it. Even if they are willing, there is nothing they can do. They have no way to transport the army thousands of miles away, let alone the north. Is it freezing cold?"
