After Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne, some small countries around him heard the news and joined Daming in succession. Only Japan, which is also a small country, is unwilling to join him, so Zhu Yuanzhang does not like Japan. Since you don't join voluntarily, I will fight until you join. So he planned to lead troops to attack Japan. But at that time, Liu Bowen tried to dissuade Zhu Yuanzhang from attacking Japan. After all, the Ming dynasty has just been established and the surrounding area is still unstable. Now is not the time to attack Japan. Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang gave up the idea of attacking Japan. In view of the feud between Japan and China in modern times, some people think that if Zhu Yuanzhang really won Japan, there would be no modern humiliation. Personally, I think it is impossible to destroy Japan with Daming's strength at that time.

Japan is an island, and the Japanese Strait is a natural barrier. Although Japan is a small country, it was also weak at that time, but with the Japanese Strait, Japan was able to escape from danger several times. The Yuan Dynasty attached importance to Japan several times and made several expeditions to the East. In the end, they all failed due to warships and weather. The military strength of the Mongolian army is very strong, but they are only good at land warfare and are not familiar with naval warfare. So did the Ming army, which had to prepare a large number of warships for the eastward expedition to Japan. In addition, there are often typhoons and other weather along the coast of Japan, and the Ming army is likely to fail because of the weather when attacking Japan.

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, the society was unstable and the country was short of money. The Ming Dynasty was finally established after the war with the Yuan Dynasty, but just after the founding of the People's Republic, everything flourished and the remaining Mongolian forces were still eyeing. If Zhu Yuanzhang really sends troops to attack Japan, perhaps Mongolia will take the opportunity to attack Daming in the south. In addition, the eastward expedition required a lot of military expenses, and the Daming Treasury had no money, so it went to war rashly. It may also be because of insufficient financial resources that it failed to conquer Japan.

It takes the right time, the right place and the right person to fight this, and Zhu Yuanzhang does not have these three conditions to fight Japan, so I don't think Zhu Yuanzhang will succeed in fighting Japan.
