If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 161 Tsushima Island

Although it was said to be attacking Japan, the first stop of Zhu Zhanyu's army was to attack Tsushima Island.

A later game, "Ghost of Tsushima", made the island very famous. The story of the island's samurai resisting the invasion of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was described as evocative, but in fact the Yuan Dynasty conquered the Japanese country twice and captured Tsushima Island.

In 1274, the Mongols first conquered Japan. On October [-], the Yuan army set out from Hepo, Goryeo, and successfully landed on Tsushima Island on the [-]th. The island owner Sosukekuni and his son led eighty cavalry to intercept them. Here is the game "Ghost of Tsushima" the opening part.

Then, and then no more.

The Mongols first conquered Japan. Although it was a tentative attack, the Yuan Dynasty dispatched 3 troops and captured the entire island of Tsushima in just one day.

After a short rest, they landed on Iki Island on the [-]th. The owner of the island, Takashi Taira, led more than a hundred cavalry to fight the Mongols.

The Japanese army was defeated and retreated to the city. At this time, night fell. The Mongols did not want to fight and retreated to the battleship for the night.

Ping Jingtaka and the remnants of the army had to survive for one more night. The city was destroyed the next day, and Ping Jingtaka committed suicide after killing his wife and children.

At that time, the Japanese had no possibility of resisting the Mongols, so they simply abandoned Tsushima and Iki Islands and stuck to their homeland, leaving Tsushima and Iki Islands to face the Yuan army alone without any reinforcements.

Later, on November [-], the Yuan army landed at Hakata Port. Because the main battleship had too deep a draft and could not get too close, the Yuan army used light boats to land in batches.

On the 1th, the Yuan army launched an attack in two groups. At that time, the Japanese side gathered a total of about [-] troops from Kyushu including Shaoer, Otomo, Kikuchi, Shimazu, and Takezaki to fight.

As for the outcome of the war, history books record the Japanese troops who were beaten by the Mongols: "Their voices were shrill and shrill, their hearts were broken and their livers were split, they were blinded and deafened, they could not distinguish between things, and many of them were killed."

Then that night, the Yuan army encountered a typhoon.

The Yuan army lost more than 500 people, most of whom died in the storm. In the end, only [-] people returned to China.

It can be seen from this that the Japanese country caused almost no losses to the Yuan army. After all, 3 people conquered the Japanese country, of which 700 were Goryeo sailors, and there were 600 Goryeo troops. After deducting these and losses, we can still More than 3000 people returned to the country. It is conceivable how many real battle losses there were.

Standing on the bow of the ship, looking at Tsushima Island in front of him, and recalling how the Mongols conquered Japan in the past, Zhu Zhanyu could only lament that the Japanese were really lucky, otherwise the Mongols would have lost their battle in the first conquest of Japan. We can hit their Kyoto.

"Your Majesty, Tsushima Island is ahead. Do you think we should send someone to persuade him to surrender?" Zheng He stood beside Zhu Zhanyun, also looking at Tsushima Island in front of him, and asked Zhu Zhanyun.

This is not because Zheng He is pedantic or anything, but at the moment there are more than twenty large ships with thousands of materials on the sea, carrying Zhu Zhanqun's soldiers of the Four Guards, a total of [-] troops, which can defeat a Mongolian in one day. There is really no need to worry about the island.

When Zheng He said that he wanted to persuade the army to surrender, he just wanted to save the army some trouble. After all, if they really wanted to fight, it would be quite time-consuming for the army to land and attack.

Zhu Zhanquan just shook his head slightly and said: "It's just Tsushima Island, our army can attack it in one go, why bother so much? I would like to help Eunuch Zheng to send a speedboat around the back of the island to prevent the Japanese on the island from attacking it." Domestic delivery of news.

Although the Japanese country cannot stir up trouble even if it resists, Gu still doesn't want to cause trouble. "Since the prince said so, then let's do what the prince wants. "Zheng He naturally had no objection. After the flagman sent the signal, several fast ships in the fleet naturally followed the order and headed towards the rear of Tsushima Island.

While these clippers were going to work, the ships carrying the sergeants in the fleet also began to move forward. After reaching the shore, they began to lower the boats and carry the soldiers ashore.

There seemed to be a Japanese ambush on the shore. When they saw the Ming army landing, they fired cold arrows, hoping to sneak across and attack the Ming army.

However, the few arrows shot by the wooden ball bow were really difficult to cause any harm to the Ming army, all of which were equipped with iron armor. Some soldiers even regarded the arrows shot by the Japanese as decorations hanging on their armor.

The bows and arrows of the Japanese country were very famous in later generations. After all, the huge Japanese bows were very distinctive.

But in this era, not to mention the complicated bow-making process, it takes a lot of time to make a suitable bow, and the materials used alone are not a small amount.

If it were in the homeland of the Japanese country, it might be okay to say that those famous names had accumulated dozens of bows over the years.

But for Tsushima Island, which was massacred twice by the Mongols, the wooden ball bow that could not kill anyone was their limit.

"Send the order, three-tone drum, if you want to see the heads of the Japanese, if you can't lead the troops, the officer will bring your own head." After saying that, Zhu Zhanquan returned to the cabin.

He had just confirmed with his spiritual mind that the number of Japanese ambushed on the beach was only 60, and there were only about 1000 armored "warriors" among them, while the Ming army that landed had at least [-] people. If Zhu Zhan lost this Chun really wants to chop off people's heads.

The result did not disappoint him. After just two blows, several bald heads were cleaned and served on a plate in front of Zhu Zhankun.

Looking at these grotesque heads, Zhu Zhanquan waved his hand and asked someone to hang it on the flagpole and then said: "Send out the cavalry to clear the entire island. Tianjin Zuowei will leave a Qianhu Station to garrison the island. In addition, Send another Sento to capture Iki Island, then the fleet will not stop and go directly to Fukuoka to attack Kyushu Island."

Although the geographical locations of Tsushima Island and Iki Island are very important, they can be regarded as guarding the strait between North Korea and Japan.

However, the Ming army has already established a stronghold on Jeju Island. There is no need to establish another stronghold on Tsushima Island. They only need to occupy it and leave soldiers to garrison it.

As for Iki Island, it is an island smaller than Tsushima Island. Zhu Zhanqi can send a thousand households to attack it, which is considered to be a cannon to fight mosquitoes. In fact, 500 people may be enough.

However, considering the possibility of accidents, he still sent 1000 people to be on the safe side.

"By the way, let Tianjin Youwei go to the Five Islands Islands and get those broken islands for me." Zhu Zhanju glanced at the map hanging in the cabin and noticed that there was another Five Islands Islands, so he divided it He gathered a group of troops to attack there.

As a result, the four guards under him had already gone to a half-guard station before they landed on Kyushu Island.

If the war starts normally, such division of troops is of course a taboo for military strategists, but for the conquest of Japan, even if there are only 1 people, Zhu Zhanyu is sure to take Kyushu Island, so dividing the troops is a taboo for military strategists. there is nothing.
