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, practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies.
step by step to build a stronger force.”
Lu Xuan was surprised.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, an old fox, was indeed a man who could create the Tokugawa shogunate and guide an era.
Tokugawa Ieyasu traveled to the ancient Japanese country. With Tokugawa Ieyasu's knowledge and vision, coupled with his scheming, he could definitely defeat all the tribes in the Japanese country. However, after traveling for more than ten years, he did not sweep across various places, but quickly established a solid foundation.
With the foundation, he spent all his efforts to teach people to read and write, practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and form an army.
Such an arrangement is quite impressive.
Lu Xuan even felt that Tokugawa Ieyasu's goal was not just a Japanese country. If it was just a three-acre land of Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu could directly sweep it and then slowly govern 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 obsessions. He did not have the nuclear bomb technology of later generations, so he could not go to the Japanese country to set off fireworks. However, he unified the entire China, and he gathered under his command a group of the strongest people in the world.
He can kill them, plow through the courtyards and clear out 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 the Japanese country. In fact, it is only as big as Wu County."
"How old are you?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but complain a little.
Sun Shiwan can't do it.
It has been five years, and Sun has captured a county.
Seeing Lu Xuan's expression, Zhu Zhi 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."
"This is the greatest 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 said with emotion: "It is very difficult to advance in the Japanese country. It is precisely because of this that it takes several years to reach only 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, with approval in his eyes.
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 inhabited by barbarian tribes. At any rate, these places had established counties and counties since the early Han Dynasty, and they were already developing, and at least some results had 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 built a city to govern 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 people living in the city. At present, there is no problem if the city can 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."
"It is unknown how many people there are left in Tokugawa Ieyasu."
"I have a judgment. Tokugawa Ieyasu has such prestige that he can mobilize all the people to join the war. This means that the other party may have more troops at any time."
Zhu Zhi said solemnly: "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.
The Japanese country has silver mines, 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 sweep away 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 my 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's no need to be so afraid of a mere Tokugawa Ieyasu? Sun Quan doesn't have enough offense and can't even defend. That would be a huge disappointment to me. Sun Jian's son shouldn't be so cowardly."
Zhu Zhi's heart flashed with lightning. He felt that Lu Xuan was doing this 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 beg your Majesty to send troops as soon as possible."
Lu Xuan flicked his sleeves and ordered: "I will definitely arrive within half a year. At that time, I will personally come to the Japanese country and collide with Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tell Sun Quan and 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 for it!"
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 Governor's Office. At present, he has no plans to establish the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and it will take some time. However, the Governor's Office must be established quickly. He ordered: "Come, notify Zhou Yu to see him.
"
"Here!"
After receiving the order, the chamberlain 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 had to control the garrison of various states in the world, he needed to arrange these procedures and rules 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."
