Zhu Zhi replied: "According to the captured Japanese soldiers, Tokugawa Ieyasu had been in charge of the place for fifteen years. Fifteen years ago, he appeared like a saint, teaching Japanese people how to read and write, cultivate the land, and practice martial arts to strengthen themselves. step by step to build a stronger force.”
Lu Xuan was surprised.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, an old fox, was worthy of being a person who could create the Tokugawa Shogunate and guide an era.
Tokugawa Ieyasu traveled to ancient Japan. With Tokugawa Ieyasu's knowledge and vision, coupled with his scheming, he could definitely defeat all tribes in Japan. However, after traveling for more than ten years, he did not sweep across various places. Instead, he quickly laid a solid foundation and worked hard to teach people to read and read, practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and form an army.
Such an arrangement is not trivial.
Lu Xuan even felt that Tokugawa Ieyasu's goal was not just a Japanese country. If it were only three-thirds of an acre of Japanese land, Tokugawa Ieyasu could directly sweep it and then slowly manage it.
The reason why we spend a lot of time and energy on governance must be for the future.
In other words, it is just to deal with China.
This is the obsession of the Japanese people.
Lu Xuan smiled in his heart, it happened that he also had an obsession. He did not have the nuclear bomb technology of later generations and could not go to Japan to set off fireworks. However, he unified the entire China, and his subordinates gathered some of the strongest people in the world.
He can kill them, plow through the courtyards and sweep holes, and completely destroy the Japanese country.
This is his obsession.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Zhu Zhi, how many troops does Sun Quan have at present, how much food and grass does it have, and how long can it last?"
Zhu Zhi said: "Reporting to your majesty, my lord has captured an area in Japan. In fact, it is only as big as Wu County."
"How old are you?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but complained a little.
Sun Shiwan can't do it.
It has been five years, and Sun has won a county.
Zhu Zhi saw Lu Xuan's expression and explained: "Your Majesty, you don't understand the problems of the Japanese country. These places are full of deep mountains and old forests, full of snakes and insects, and many Japanese tribes are in the mountains, all small tribes, scattered in a area."
"It's not difficult to defeat these. The key is that the roads are impassable and the local area is uncivilized."
"That's the biggest difficulty."
"It's not difficult to attack, but it's difficult to govern."
"There is another problem. When we first went there, the population was less than a thousand people. Although the population is small, it is not easy to feed more than a thousand people. It needs to develop slowly and expand while farming."
When Zhu Zhi thought about everything in the Japanese country, he sighed even more, and sighed: "It is very difficult to advance in the Japanese country. It is precisely because of this that it takes several years to reach the size of a county. This is why the emperor of the Japanese country The reason why Tokugawa Ieyasu spent more than ten years governing the place."
Lu Xuan nodded, his eyes approving.
It is indeed a problem.
Jiaozhou under the rule of the Han Dynasty, or the southernmost area of Yizhou, was also full of deep mountains and old forests, and was full of barbarian tribes. At any rate, these places have been developing since the early Han Dynasty when counties and counties were established, and at least some results have been achieved.
The Japanese state was more primitive than these.
Development is even further behind.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Let's get back to the topic and return to Sun Quan. Sun Quan builds a city and governs the place. Can he resist it?"
Zhu Zhi said: "After my lord built the city, there are currently 5,000 elite soldiers in the city, and there are still 20,000 to 30,000 civilians living in the city. At present, there is no problem for the city to withstand for three to five months."
"Because we have enough food, grass and equipment for the time being, but our troops are smaller than Tokugawa Ieyasu, so we cannot fight head-on. The Japanese troops we have encountered so far are about 20,000, and they are quite elite."
"How many people there are left in Tokugawa Ieyasu is unknown."
"I have a judgment. Tokugawa Ieyasu has such prestige that he can mobilize all the people and let everyone participate in the war. This means that the other party may have more troops at any time."
Zhu Zhi said in a deep voice: "It is not easy to deal with Tokugawa Ieyasu."
Lu Xuan said: "Even if he has more people, fifty or sixty thousand elites can hold up to the sky. The Japanese country can no longer support more troops, because the area and food output cannot reach this much."
Zhu Zhi said loudly: "Your Majesty, please send troops to help. My lord is willing to submit to your Majesty. In addition, when we developed the Japanese country in Japan, we discovered a large number of silver mines, which can also allow your Majesty to enrich the national treasury."
Lu Xuan's expression remained calm.
There are silver mines in Japan, and he knows about it.
Lu Xuan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Sun Quan that within half a year, I will send troops into the Japanese country to wipe out Tokugawa Ieyasu. For the time being, let him hold on."
Zhu Zhi said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, half a year is too long. What if the lord cannot stop Tokugawa Ieyasu within half a year?"
"If you can't stop it, you will die."
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp and he said: "There is no need to be so afraid of a mere Tokugawa Ieyasu? Sun Quan does not have enough offense and can't even defend. That would be very disappointing to me. Sun Jian's son should not be so cowardly."
Zhu Zhi's heart flashed with lightning. He felt that Lu Xuan was doing it on purpose and wanted to deliberately consume the Sun family's troops.
However, Zhu Zhi could barely reach Lu Xuan.
Zhu Zhi said urgently: "Your Majesty, I will return to the Japanese country immediately, and I beg your Majesty to send troops as soon as possible."
Lu Xuan flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Within half a year, I will definitely arrive. At that time, I will personally come to the Japanese country and collide with Tokugawa Ieyasu. You tell Sun Quan to let him guard the place and don't let me down." "
"Here!"
Zhu Zhi bowed and answered.
He had no choice but to follow Lu Xuan's arrangements.
After Zhu Zhi got the result, he was worried about the situation in Japan and said: "Your Majesty, I must rush back immediately and say goodbye."
"Go!"
Lu Xuan waved his hand.
Zhu Zhi turned around and left.
Lu Xuan's eyes fell on Cao Cao, and he immediately laughed and said, "Father-in-law, this time you will go out with me to fight."
Cao Cao's eyes were also extremely bright and he said: "I have been thinking about going to war for a long time, and now I finally have the opportunity."
Lu Xuan said: "Father-in-law, go back and prepare."
"Here!"
Cao Cao stopped drinking. After standing up and saluting, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Lu Xuan was thinking about the affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. At present, he had no plans to establish a ceremonial supervisor, and it would take some time. However, the Governor's Office must be established quickly. He ordered: "If you come, please notify Zhou Yu to see him."
"Here!"
The chamberlain got the order and hurriedly went to inform him.
Not long after, Zhou Yu entered.
Zhou Yu was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War during this period and was very busy. Because the Ministry of War wants to control the garrison of various states in the world, these procedures and rules and regulations need to be arranged by him personally.
Fortunately, it took less than half a year for Zhou Yu to sort everything out, and all the orders, arrangements, rules and regulations were ready.
After Zhou Yu stood still, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Yu, pays homage to your Majesty."
