When Inoue Takeshi saw that Hirohito's face was full of displeasure, he naturally became even more flustered.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to meet the enemy."
"I am willing to lead my troops to annihilate Zhang Wuji. If he comes to attack me in person this time, I will kill him with my own hands. I will also kill all the invading enemies on the territory of our great Japan."
Hirohito Koichi's frown finally relaxed a little: "Yoshi, this is what you should say."
"My dear, you must prepare from now on. Within two days, you will lead your troops westward to meet the invaders. As long as you can wipe out Zhang Wuji, I will give you whatever you want."
Inoue Yu said: "Your Majesty's grace is as high as the sky and as deep as the earth. I don't want anything."
Hirohito Hiroichi smiled bitterly and said: "My dear, as long as you can defeat Zhang Wuji, the world will still be ours. I won't feel bad if I give you something at that time. Women, money, power, honor, I can give you all these things."
"But if you can't stop Zhang Wuji, then you won't get any of these things. Not only will you not get them, but everything you have will also disappear into thin air."
"Now that things have come to this, I don't want to talk to you about any big principles anymore."
"Whether it is you, Inoue Yu, or any of the ministers present here, you are all the most prominent people in my Japan. Each of you holds a high position and has a large salary. Each of you has many wives and concubines. Think about your families, think about whether your children and grandchildren can still have enough food and clothing, think about whether they can still be a playboy with your name, think about the concubines you took great pains to bring home, think about the geishas you bought with the money you embezzled."
"It's time to unite against a common enemy. Only if you defeat Zhang Wuji can you continue to do what you do now, attending the morning court every day, and then doing what you are good at with your concubines and geishas after court."
"Imagine how happy your life is now. Only if you defeat Zhang Wuji can your happy life continue. If you fail, your heads will be chopped off by sharp steel knives, and your sons will be sent to be slaves and die of exhaustion from day-to-day labor."
"And your daughters, your wives and concubines, and those courtesans you bought at high prices will also become playthings of Zhang Wuji or his generals."
"Of course, this is a good outcome. The bad thing is that your daughters, wives, concubines, and geishas will become playthings of ordinary Ming army soldiers."
“Think of that picture.”
"There is no way out in Japan. Whether you and I can continue to enjoy this kind of life in the future, or whether we will be beheaded, depends on whether you can stop Zhang Wuji."
At this moment, Saburo Abe, known as the Little Zhuge Liang of Japan, spoke out: "Your Majesty, what you said is the truth. Although we still have 400,000 soldiers in Japan, in fact, since we decided to invade Middle-earth five years ago, we have had no way out."
"As long as we defeat Zhang Wuji, with our Japanese military strength, we will be able to take advantage of the situation and invade the Ming mainland."
"Everything we want is there. The Ming fleet just won a great victory more than a month ago. Now it must have become arrogant. Arrogant troops will surely be defeated."
"In this battle, Japan will definitely win."
Cabinet Minister Ichiro Tanaka said, "That's right. Although the Ming army has landed in Yamaguchi Prefecture, how many soldiers can they possibly send? Our Japanese fleet may have been completely annihilated, but when they were still standing, they were the largest navy in the world. Five years ago, our navy could only transport 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers at a time to Middle-earth."
"And with the current transportation capacity of the Ming Dynasty navy, at most they can do the same as we did back then, transporting at most 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers to our Japanese mainland at one time."
"The fastest round trip from Japan to the Ming Dynasty by water takes more than a month, and this is just the time for the trip. It is hard to say how much time it will take for the Ming Dynasty to gather soldiers again, board ships, and load supplies."
"Therefore, I conclude that within one and a half months, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not have any other reinforcements except for the 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers who landed in Yamaguchi Prefecture before."
"Grand Marshal Inoue, if we send out an army of 200,000 to fight now, with four or five times the strength, we can win the battle in one go."
Little Zhuge Abe Saburo said: "That's the reason. Although we have no way to retreat in this battle, we are fighting on our home ground after all. Our troops are several times more than that of the Ming Dynasty. Food, military pay, and equipment are all in unlimited supply. In the final analysis, the advantage is mine."
"Marshal Inoue, let alone leading an army of 200,000 to meet the enemy, even if he led 200,000 pigs to trample on the enemy, he could still decide the outcome of the battle in one battle."
After saying this, Saburo Abe raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor."
"Long live".
"Long live".
"Long live".
…
The atmosphere in the Amaterasu Hall was instantly ignited.
The thunderous cheers of "Long live the emperor" reached Hirohito's ears.
Hirohito Hiroichi suddenly became motivated: "Inoue Yu, get up now. You must immediately mobilize 200,000 troops from the troops around Tokyo. I order you to go and fight Zhang Wuji. If you win this battle, you will be the God of War of Japan. You will enjoy all the wealth in the world while you are alive. After you die, you will be enshrined in a shrine and will be worshipped by the people of Japan forever."
…
What else could Inoue Xiong say? He could only kowtow and obey orders.
It was not until Inoue Yu walked out of the Amaterasu Hall that he realized that the sky was gradually getting brighter.
He didn't know how the time passed.
"It seems that it is time for me to show my power..."
After muttering to himself for a few words, Inoue Yu began to work on mobilizing troops.
Although his abilities may not be as strong as Musashi Hideki's, he still knows the most basic military knowledge.
Zhang Wuji had already taken over Yamaguchi County seven days ago. Seven days had passed, and now, he might have conquered more territory.
Now, the best strategy is to send troops to fight a decisive battle with them as soon as possible. If Zhang Wuji accumulates enough strategic depth, he can wait quietly for his own reinforcements. If he waits until his subsequent troops arrive one after another before fighting a decisive battle with them, then all the current advantages will become disadvantages.
…
Looking at Zhang Wuji, he has been extremely excited in recent days. His contribution to expanding the territory will be recorded in history forever.
