Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Xia Wanchun's intention is obvious, first use Korean soldiers to fight Japan.

People who are not of our race must have a different heart. They can use war to eliminate Japan's vital forces and at the same time reduce North Korea's military strength.

"Okay, good idea, Mr. Xia is really extraordinary."

What Xia Wanchun said made all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty look at each other with admiration.

If the Ming army is not used, the Japanese problem can be solved, which is of course the best way.

Zhu Youjian had long thought about using North Korean troops, and Xia Wanchun's idea coincided with his.

In the first three months, he had shipped a large number of flintlock grenades to North Korea, and asked Lu Aiguo to lead the North Korean soldiers to train hard.

Zhu Youjian nodded in satisfaction:

"Very well, I also have the same intention, do you have any different opinions?"

Minister of Rites Zhao Zhilong stepped forward to salute:

"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion. Although Japan is not big, its national style is very tenacious. The Yuan Dynasty's two campaigns against Japan ended in failure. Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty listed Japan as an indisputable country. If Your Majesty sends troops to Japan, the outcome Leaving aside, first of all, it violates the ancestral system! I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting!"

Zhao Zhilong was the minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing. After Zhu Youjian banned Liudu in Nanjing, he was transferred to the Ministry of Rites of the capital to serve as the Minister of Rites.

Hearing what Zhao Zhilong said, several civil officials came out to support the proposal.

Zhu Youjian looked at a few civil servants. He knew that the civil servants of Ming Dynasty were not of high status now, and these people would show their sense of presence from time to time.

Of course, he knew the history of Little Japan better than anyone present.

Don't underestimate Japan. No dynasty in China has ever conquered a Lilliputian country in their native land, or even taken advantage of it.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the mighty Mongol Empire attacked Japan twice.

However, all Mongolian ships encountered a typhoon at sea, and the warship capsized at sea, causing serious casualties.

In 1274 AD, the expeditionary force to attack Japan set sail from Korea to Kyushu Island.

The expeditionary force consisted of 5000 people, of which Mongols and Koreans accounted for about half, as well as some Jurchens and a small number of Han Chinese.

The commander of the expeditionary force was Kudun from Mongolia, and the two deputy commanders were Hong Chaqiu from Korea and Liu Fuheng from Han.

The Yuan army sailed to Hakata Bay, first captured and ravaged Tsushima Island and Iki Island.

Then divide into three places to land in Kyushu and attack the inland. Of the three invading troops, one is the main force and the other two are support. The landing site of the main force is around Nagasaki.

Chapter 683: The Glorious War History of the Wa Kingdom

The Yuan-Japanese War was a war triggered by Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan and his vassal Koryo sending troops to attack Japan twice in 1274 and 1281.

These two invasions were collectively called "Yuan Bandits" or "Mongol Attack" in Japan, or the battle against the first attack of the Yuan Army was called the "Battle of Wenyong" according to the Japanese year at that time.

The second time was the "Battle of Hong'an".The Kamakura and Muromachi eras (Mongolia Attack, Alien Thieves Attack, Mongolia War, and Foreign War) were also called murderers, and the history of Japan in the Edo Period was called Yuan Kou.

These two invasions also used Kitakyushu as the main battlefield.

Although these two invasion attempts ultimately failed, they still played a very important role in the macro history.

These two wars are among the most famous events in Japanese history.

And because of their role in preventing the expansion of the Mongol Empire and the Yuan Dynasty, they played an important role in world history.

These two events are mentioned in many novels, and the word kamikaze was born from it.

In addition, apart from the encounter at the end of World War II, these two failed invasion attempts should be regarded as the greatest threat of invasion that Japan has faced in more than 1000 years.

The invincible Mongolia once swept across the Eurasian continent, invincible and invincible.

But the two invasions of Japan suffered disastrous failures.

The Mongols' attack on Japan originated from Japan's refusal to submit to the Mongol Empire.

Kublai Khan sent envoys to Japan many times to ask Japan to pay tribute, and the King of Koryo also wrote to the Japanese asking them to submit to the Mongols, but each time the Japanese contemptuously rejected Kublai Khan's request.

Faced with such an offense, the Mongolian Khan, who is king in the world, certainly could not tolerate it, and resolutely launched two large-scale wars of aggression against Japan.

The first Mongol invasion of Japan was in 1274 AD.

In the face of the first "Mongol attack", the Kamakura shogunate mobilized some regular troops to fight, and the Kyushu coastal feudal clans also urgently organized samurai and militiamen to join the battle.

The fierce battle lasted for more than 20 days. Liu Fuheng was killed in the fierce battle. After losing most of the Yuan army, they retreated to the beach and relied on returning artillery to defend.

So far, the Yuan army suffered heavy casualties, and the defeat was inevitable. Due to the exhaustion of arrows and food, the Yuan army could not continue to hold the position, so the Yuan army had to board the ship and retreat.

The second Mongol invasion of Japan was in 1281 AD.

After Kublai Khan unified China, he began to prepare for the second invasion of Japan.

The huge expeditionary force of the Yuan Empire set off from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and North Korea at the same time.

The military capacity of this expedition is even more spectacular, with a total of nearly 20 large and small ships and about [-] troops.

Among them, there are 5 Mongols, more than [-] Koreans, and about [-] Hans.

Most of the Han people are the newly attached army (the incorporated Southern Song army), and the Mongols in the expeditionary army are naturally the backbone of the battle.

In the first ten days of June, the Yuan army began to land operations. The landing site, Jiulong Mountain, was not far from the site where the main force of the last war landed.

This time the expeditionary force encountered more tenacious resistance. The commander of the Koryo Army, Hong Chaqiu, was captured and killed, and several senior Mongolian commanders were also killed in battle.

The fierce fighting lasted for more than a month, and the expeditionary force lost more than one-third.

Because Japan built a solid stone wall along the beach, the Yuan army was unable to break through repeated attacks.

By the end of July, the Yuan army's food, grass and arrows were basically exhausted, and the Yuan army's retreat ended.

The reason why Mongolia failed to conquer Japan in the two offensives was due to the following six main reasons:

One is the lack of troops in the first attack on Japan.

At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty had not yet perished, and Mongolia only controlled northern China. At that time, the Mongolian Empire was gathering heavy troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty. The army used to attack Japan was only more than 5 people.

Laoshi's expedition is a cross-sea battle that the Mongols are not good at, and coupled with the strength of the Japanese nation, this force is obviously not enough.

In addition to the multi-line combat factor, the reason for the shortage of troops was that Kublai Khan did not take Japan, which had a strong military strength at that time, seriously.

The second is that Mongolia does not have the slightest advantage in tactics.According to the Japanese, the fighting power of the Mongols is not as powerful as imagined.

After the war began, the Japanese adopted close combat tactics with the Mongols, which invalidated the Mongols' advantages in bows and arrows and return artillery.
