"The first army's unauthorized actions are a contempt for the established combat plan of the base camp, which is intolerable to the base camp and must be punished!"

After receiving the first army crossed the Nara line and advanced into Kyoto, Chief of Staff Jiang Xifeng was furious because this move meant that the first army would become an isolated army. Before the left-wing "Study and Wen Detachment" and the right-wing "Ayuki Detachment" could not arrive in Kyoto as soon as possible, the first army that rashly penetrated deep was likely to be surrounded by the main force of the Japanese army.

The same is true for the senior staff of the General Staff Headquarters, and they all expressed indignation that the First Army did not seize the time to rest after winning the Nara defense battle, and waited for the arrival of reinforcements on the left and right wings to attack Kyoto.

However, the middle and lower-level staff officers disagreed with their superiors. Instead, they praised the First Army's bold move, believing that since the Japanese army has changed from a major retreat to a major escape, there is no reason for the First Army to allow them to flee.

Wei Laojiu, the captain of the personal guards around his father-in-law, may have been with the officers of the General Staff Headquarters for a long time and was deeply infected by them. He said: "War is determined by the number of enemies killed by the number of enemies being killed! Bei Zhi believes that the bold action of the First Army is a breakthrough and decisive action. This action is likely to establish the overall victory of our army over the Japanese army!"

"Dad, the First Army despises the opponent too much! Although the Imperial Army won a major victory in the battle of Nara, Hidetachi Tokugawa was not injured. Information shows that a large number of Shogunate troops in the Kinki area were moving towards Kyoto. Hidetachi who received reinforcements from these Neither vassals were likely to gather heavy troops and give the lonely First Army a headache!"

As the chief of staff of the base camp, Jiang Xifeng was responsible for the war overall, so naturally he could not be as radical as the people below.

It is necessary for him to remind Eunuch Wei that the Japanese army that may gather in Kyoto will never be less than 100,000! Tokugawa Hidetachi, who has an absolute advantage in military strength, has enough strength and confidence to counter-encircle the reckless First Army even though he had just experienced the defeat in the Battle of Nara.

"It is said that the Fifth Infantry Regiment's unauthorized actions forced the First Army to attack on the entire line."

As an adjutant of the staff officer at the base camp, Cheng Qing, who was formerly the Wusong Water Camp, wanted to say something good for the First Army. If he really wanted to hold him accountable, punishing the Fifth Infantry Regiment was the best choice and the best result.

"Is it Ding Xiaogong?"

Eunuch Wei grabbed a handful of fried soybeans on the table, chewed them, and clapped his hands, "Since the matter has happened, what the base camp has to do now is not to hold who is responsible, but to study how to control the situation."

After saying that, my father-in-law put on a military cotton coat, and Japan was still quite cold in December.

"Are the soldiers ready for cotton coats? The base camp for the cold-proof materials must be guaranteed. Whether it is transported domestically or solved locally from Japan, the base camp must first ensure that every Imperial Army soldier will not starve and freeze! If a soldier is frozen to death, our family will be chopped off their heads!"

"Don't worry, father-in-law..."

Jiang Xifeng hurriedly briefly reported on the allocation of winter clothes and cold-proof materials, and pointed out that in some areas, the Imperial Army demolished a large number of Japanese temples and historical sites in order to keep warm, including many well-preserved Tang Dynasty buildings, which is very sad.

"Can we issue orders to various troops to prohibit the destruction of Japanese monuments?" Jiang Xifeng asked.

Eunuch Wei waved his hand and said, "If the building is gone, you can recreate it. How can you regenerate if the person is gone?"

Jiang Xifeng nodded quickly and said yes.

"However, the emperor and the concubine believe in Buddhism. I think there are many rare things in these ancient temples in Japan. It would be a pity if these things were destroyed. They could be widely collected and transported to the capital."

It is true that it is transported back to Beijing, but it is hard to say that it is not filial to the emperor.

At present, the antique market in Jiangnan is very prosperous, and a large number of good things shipped from Japan have become the toys of wealthy gentry in Jiangnan.

To a large extent, part of the food and salary of the Imperial Army was solved.

The "Plum Plan" is not only for Eunuch Wei to collect treasures in Japan for his own use, but for the country and the people.

"Father-in-law, the current situation is unbearable for the base camp!"

Jiang Xifeng turned the focus of the discussion back to the current situation. No matter what, the First Army's unauthorized actions exceeded the scope that the First Army could decide. If there is no warning, where will the base camp be placed?

"The war situation is ever-changing, and the First Army cannot promptly inform the base camp of the war situation, so the decision-making power of the fighter jet should be delegated."

Eunuch Wei acknowledged the actions of the First Army from the perspective of the actual war and the delay in the transmission of information back and forth.

"The general is outside, and the emperor will not accept the order. The base camp cannot be the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty. Everything must be done with the orders and plans."

Eunuch Wei stood up and carried his hands behind his back.

"The first army is ordered to take down Kyoto no matter how many people die!"

"The order to be ordered by Youxi Detachment and Xuewen Detachment must arrive in Kyoto within three days. If the delay is delayed, military law will be carried out!"

The strict military orders made the generals present shudder.

You should know that the leaders of the two detachments are one of the father-in-law’s brother-in-law and the other is the father-in-law’s eldest nephew.

When my father-in-law was about to set off from Osaka to Nara in the afternoon, he cordially met with Yugali Oshima and his party.

Oshima brought a group of people to meet his father-in-law, who were the leaders of the anti-shog army in Kyushu and Kansai. Some were Catholics, but some were former anti-Tokugawa forces. There were also several secret envoys of the shogunate controlled vassal states.

After reiterating that the Emperor Ming had no territorial ambitions for Japan, the expedition of Japan was entirely at the request of the Catholic Church, and to punish Japan's invasion of the Emperor Ming and the vassal North Korea and Ryukyu in recent decades, the father-in-law further pointed out that the various forces in Japan should no longer be willing to wait and see, but should immediately mobilize and march towards Kyoto together.

"During the Qin and Han dynasties, China first entered Guanzhong as king. If you don't understand this allusion, you can ask for a Confucian scholar."

After telling this allusion meaningfully, Eunuch Wei actually listened to some practical difficulties of the anti-scene heroes against the anti-scene movement.

Considering that these anti-shog troops had to some extent restrained the vassal states close to the shogunate and some of the standing troops of Tokugawa Hidetachi, their father-in-law instructed the base camp to provide weapons assistance to these anti-shog troops, including a large number of landmines.

My father-in-law intended that landmines were simple and cheap, easy to use, and could greatly harass and kill the troops belonging to the shogunate. However, I thought that my father-in-law would have a headache about this in the future.

Even in the Kanto Plain, in order to completely solve the problem of landmines against the enemy, my father-in-law had to personally clear the mines in a Japanese farmer's headscarf under the scorching summer.

It's very good.

The next day, my father-in-law arrived at the Kitsugawa, which the First Army had occupied. In this small city, my father-in-law was warmly welcomed by the Japanese residents in the city.

These Japanese residents held triangular flags with the word "Ming" written on them, stood along the sides of the town streets, shouting "Welcome" in Chinese in the mouth. Some Japanese girls danced and sang songs with makeup. The scene moved Eunuch Wei.

The old man turned over from his horse, took out two candies from his pocket, walked affectionately to a Japanese child, pinched the other person's face, stuffed the candy into the other person's hand, and then pulled the other person's hand and said affectionately to the residents: "I am the son of an ordinary farmer in Huangming. I love my motherland and I also love Japan. In the future, every Japanese people will be like me, and will be in the sun of Huangming forever!"

As soon as my father-in-law finished speaking, the Japanese residents around him cheered: "Long live the empire! Long live the emperor!"
