Chapter 1531 Planning

Lu Aofan, a feudal city.

Although the Ming Dynasty abolished the vassal states and established counties, according to the Japanese customs for many years, they were still called as before.

Masato Ida was very old, but in a very good spirit. He looked at Dorgon in front of him. There was no expression on his old face, and his eyes were like an abyss and could not see it.

Dorgon sat opposite him, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "As long as you agree, Japan is yours, North Korea, and Liaodong is mine. Perhaps, we can still divide the Central Plains equally."

When Ida Masato heard Dorgon's words, he had no unnecessary reaction. He just knelt there quietly. If he hadn't blinked occasionally, he would have been like a stale corpse.

In Japan, Masamune Ida had the five northern feudals, and the owner had the strongest military strength besides Dorgon.

Dorgon's plan was very simple. As long as Ida Masajong stayed still, taking advantage of the weakness of the Ming Dynasty and was unable to use his army, Dorgon sent troops to capture Jiuguo Island, then attacked North Korea, and then entered Liaodong, and recovered the heartland of the Jin Kingdom. They restored the country, and Japan was Ida Masajong.

After a while, Masamune Ida spoke in an indifferent tone, saying, "If I inform the Ming Dynasty and cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to wipe out you, then Japan is mine."

Dorgon's expression remained unchanged and said, "If I fall, your death will not last long, you won't."

Dorgon and Ida Masajong are the roles of checks and balances between each other. The Ming Dynasty would not allow anyone to dominate the country. This is a very simple truth.

Masatori Ida looked at Dorgon and remained silent for a while, saying, "You won't succeed. You know the strength of the Ming Dynasty better than me. If you don't talk about Liaodong and North Korea, you can't get through even Jiuguo Island."

Dorgon said lightly, "I have convinced Zuo Liangyu that there is no problem passing through the Shumen Strait."

Zuo Liangyu was also a person abandoned by the Ming Dynasty. He was exiled from the Yunnan general to Japan for seven or eight years!

Zuo Liangyu controlled Kasuo Yamasaki, Kuroda Tadayuki and others. The generals who had defected to the Ming Dynasty were basically under his command.

If Dorgon, Zuo Liangyu, and Ida Masaru were connected together, the Ming Dynasty would not have the power to check and balance them in Japan, and Tokugawa Akihide and others could only be ghosts under the knife!

Masatori Ida looked at Dorgon, his eyes flashed with eagle, or his unconcealed ambition.

If what Dorgon said was true, if the local army of the Ming Dynasty was unable to interfere, Dorgon would be a tiger out of the cage! Japan could not resist, and could even land in North Korea and attack Liaodong!

North Korea does not have many troops at all. If Dorgon sent troops quickly, it would be able to attack Shanhaiguan in one-sidedly, defend according to the pass, and divide the north and south with the Ming Dynasty!

Dorgon looked at Masatori Ida and said, "I don't need you to do anything. As long as your army stays in the Mu Aofan, no matter my success or failure, you will not be involved."

Masamune Ida closed his eyes tiredly, and for a while, he slowly said, "I am old and don't have so many ambitions. I will say I can't go out tomorrow. Everything outside has nothing to do with me."

Dorgon looked at him scrutinizedly, stood up for a moment and said, "Goodbye."

Ida Masamune sat still and watched him leave.

As soon as Dorgon left, Ichiro Tanaka walked in, knelt on the edge of Masamune Ida, frowned, and said, "Father, do you really want to cooperate with Dorgon? This is a trick with the tiger, and he will never return the Japanese to us."

Masatozong of Ida's eyes were faint and said indifferently, "Dorgon knew the emperor of the Ming Dynasty very well. Before the Ming Dynasty emperor took action, he would take action first."

Tanaka Ichiro looked solemn, listening to Masato Ida and said, "Then, can Dorgon really succeed?"

The Ming Dynasty was really too powerful. Tanaka Ichiro had seen military exercises. If the Ming Dynasty's own army launched, Japan would not be able to resist at all, and Dorgon would not do it.

The problem now is that many people believe that the Ming Dynasty focused on domestic reforms, was unable to take care of itself, and its national strength was unprecedentedly weak, and could not launch a war of counter-rebellion.

Masatori Ida closed his eyes again, opened it suddenly for a moment, and said, "Dorgon is still too anxious."

At this time, a charming woman came in, knelt behind Masatori Ida, pressed her shoulders, and said, "It's too far from Guanmen Strait to Shanhaiguan. I guess Dorgon might not be able to cross the sea to North Korea and be stopped by the Ming Navy. Moreover, Dorgon's purpose may be to swallow us, completely control Japan, and rule the Ming Dynasty."

Ichiro Tanaka suddenly became frightened when he heard this, and looked up at Masato Ida with a solemn expression. He didn't think so much, ignoring this terrible possibility!

Masato Ida had obviously thought of it for a long time, and his expression remained unchanged for many years. He looked up at Ichiro Tanaka and said, "I know you have always had contact with the MIIS of the Ming Dynasty, go."

Tanaka Ichiro was slightly surprised and said, "Father, do you mean to inform the Ming Dynasty?"

Masato Ida said, "Dorgon's actions will not be small. Even if we don't inform us, the Ming Dynasty will know. In this matter, our position must be clear so that the Ming Dynasty will not settle accounts after the autumn."

Tanaka Ichiro understood and said, "Yes. I'll go now."

Masamune Ida stood up tiredly and said, "We don't move, we will say that I am seriously ill and no one will see you when it comes out."

The charming woman said, "Okay, I understand."

Dorgon left the Muaofan vassal city, rode a carriage and returned straight back to Edo.

He was followed by a man, a Japanese named Naoto Emura. He knelt respectfully on the left side of Dorgon and said, "Your Excellency, do you really think that the old fox Ida Masato will cooperate with us?"

Dorgon sat in the carriage with a expressionless face. Over the past few years, he has become fatter, with a fat face and small eyes, just as cold as ever.

His voice became colder and he said lightly: "I never thought about restoring the country in Liaodong."

Naoto Ecumura was stunned and said, "Then, why are you doing so much?"

Dorgon said: "I am for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Naomen of Jiangcun became increasingly puzzled. Shouldn’t Dorgon conspire to rebel extremely secretly? Why did he say that he was for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

Dorgon glanced at him faintly and said, "We seem to be doing a secret, but I'm sure that it won't take long to see these news on Jing Zheng's desk, Zuo Liangyu, Ida Masatozo and the people around them, their minds are the most difficult to predict."

In other words, Dorgon had long expected that some of these people would report to the Ming Dynasty with his back.

Naoto Jiangcun became increasingly puzzled. So what was Dorgon doing these things?

Dorgon took a deep breath, and a rare touch of resentment appeared on his fat face, saying, "I want to see how much strength the Ming Dynasty still has."

Naoto Jiangcun's expression was slightly condensed, and he immediately understood.

It is impossible to attack North Korea and Liaodong in fake attacks, and it is impossible to test the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty did not respond to Dorgon's series of actions, then the Ming Dynasty would be powerless to take care of itself. Dorgon could occupy the entire Japanese country without restraint, and then wait and see. If there was a chance, he would really invade North Korea and recover his homeland!

Of course, Dorgon didn't know that Zhu Xu had issued an imperial edict to him at this time.

Before Zhu Xu's imperial edict arrived in Edo, the military orders of the Grand Marshal's Office had arrived in many corners of Japan.

Jiuguo Island, Shiguo Island, and Hokkien Island were in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. These three places had moved, either openly or secretly, and the army was gathering to threaten their islands from all aspects.

The one who guarded Guanmen Strait was Huashan Jiushou. He was summoned by Liu Jing, who was stationed at Guanmen Strait Naval Base at the first time and ordered him to adjust his garrison. Just in case, the navy even patrolled both sides of the strait overnight.

The navy on Jeju Island even set off to the Edo Outdoor Sea.

Tsushima Island, which is a springboard to North Korea, has entered a first-level combat readiness, with cannons pushed out, pointing in the direction of Kyukuni Island from afar.

The series of actions of the Ming Dynasty could not be hidden from the national island. The national island was in a panic for a moment and suddenly became tense.

The Japanese forces, which did not belong to Dorgon, were extremely nervous and took action to check and balance Dorgon from all aspects, and wrote to the Ming Dynasty court, requesting to eliminate the crisis by "peaceful means" and not to commit another killing in Japan.

Dorgon had already received the news before he arrived in Edo, and at this moment, he summoned a group of people in his mansion.

When Dodo heard the achievements of Dorgon along the way, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Brother, what are you waiting for! Without the threat of Masatozong of Ida, our army will push forward and directly kill the Guanmen Strait and take down the entire Japan!"

Daishan and Mandahai seemed to have not heard Duoduo's words, and they both frowned and looked at Dorgon with a frown.

They have unstable foothold in Japan and are full of people who check and balance them. With the arrangements of the Ming Dynasty, they may not be able to leave Edo.

Dorgon also ignored Duoduo's words and looked at Dai Shan and said, "Brother, what do you want to say?"

Daishan frowned and said, "The Ming Dynasty's strength in Japan exceeded our expectations. Before we could move, the imperial edict arrived. Other places were constantly being arranged. We could not reach the Guanmen Strait at all. Ida Masamune and Zuo Liangyu were also snakes and rats at both ends. Edo was all people who rejected us. If the Ming emperor had a letter of decree, we would be rebellious and separated in an instant and were isolated and helpless."

Mandahai looked solemn and said, "The Ming Dynasty did not need a large army to conquer us. We will be exhausted to death in Japan. At that time, Japan will inevitably be washed away again. This may be the plot of the Ming emperor."

Naoto Ecumura sat aside. They were a little unable to understand the logic of these wise people and remained silent.

Dorgon listened to Dai Shan's words and said, "What do you think we should do? Do you do according to Jing Zheng's imperial edict?"

Dai Shan was silent for a while and said, "If we were given two more years, we would be able to fully control our own island."

Duoduo immediately sneered and said, "At that time, the Ming Dynasty had basically completed reforms and national strength would be restored. They had the energy and strength. How can we fight with them?"

Daishan and Mandahai couldn't answer Duoduo's question. The reality was cruel, but they could not fight head-on with the Ming Dynasty, but they were not convinced by the Ming Dynasty and were always trying to restore the country.

Without the ability to deserve ambition, it is destined to be desolate.

Dorgon knew that the Ming Dynasty would react, but he didn't expect that the reaction was so fast that he was a little uneasy.
