For Emperor Chongzhen, Japan was a must-attack. At least when he used the wealth of the vassal kings in Datong for military use, he promised to send him to Japan, thus revealing the practice of sending all the vassal kings in the country to other countries.
As for how to justify attacking Japan, it is hard to say because he wants to be appointed as a vassal king in Japan, so at least he needs to find a reason.
Originally, he wanted to use the story of Japanese pirates attacking Korea during the Wanli period to fight against the Ming Dynasty soldiers.
But there is actually a problem here, that is, this incident happened many years ago, and the emperor has changed three times. And the person in power in Japan has also changed, and it is not the descendant of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but the rebel.
If we attack for the original reason, it doesn't really make sense.
