Smuggling Daming

Chapter 341 The Battle of Tsushima Island

Biao'er's marriage also caused Zhou Zhong a headache. Rationally speaking, Zhou Zhong really wanted to marry Biao'er. After all, Biao'er was indeed at the age of marriage. In this era of Ming Dynasty, she is already a late-married old girl. Other girls at this age may have already become mothers. If you are old, don't even think about getting married.

But rationality is rational. From an emotional point of view, Zhou Zhong didn't want to force his beloved sister to marry. Although he knew that doing so would not do any good to Zhuo'er, he still didn't want to make Zhuo'er sad because of this incident. So in the end Zhou Zhong made a decision and sent Wu Shan to Songjiang the next day.

A few days later, Zhou Zhong found Aunt Wang with a stack of reports, then sighed and put the report in front of her and said, "Auntie, is that Xu Chengcheng who proposed marriage a good match? Take a look at the information collected by Jin Yiwei." , this Xu Cheng not only raises women outside, but even has ambiguity with his cousin's concubine, how can such a person be worthy of our bracelet?"

Zhou Zhong sent Wu Shan there to investigate the details of Xu Cheng. Although Xu Cheng came from an official family, the more such a family, the more dirty it must be. He didn't investigate at all, and in fact it was exactly as he expected. However, within a few days after Wu Shan went, Xu Cheng's bad deeds were found out.

Aunt Wang was very surprised when she heard Zhou Zhong's words. She picked up the paper and looked at it, but it was okay if she didn't read it. The more she read it, the more frightened she became. Xu Cheng's misdeeds were more than what Zhou Zhong said.In addition, there are many things that I haven't said in time, even that Xu Cheng not only likes women, but also likes men, and there are several book boys around him, all of whom are very handsome.

"This... this... The Xu family is also a heir to poetry and literature, how could they do such a thing?" Aunt Wang asked with a look of astonishment after reading the information in her hand. At the same time, she was also a little scared. I believe that if you marry the bracelet to such a person.How will my daughter live in the future?

"Auntie, the more you are a scholar, the more unreliable you are. I am a scholar myself, and I am the most aware of the filth among scholars. So in the future, as long as scholars come up to ask for marriage, you should tell me first. Then find out their old background. , so as not to harm the bracelet!" Zhou Zhongyu said earnestly, he also dislikes the current scholars in Daming, and it is fine to write some nonsense articles, but the atmosphere among scholars is very bad.It's okay to go to brothels, but it's a bit too perverted for them to be homosexual one by one.

I heard Zhou Zhong say that scholars are unreliable.Aunt Wang first nodded in agreement, but then smiled and said: "You can't say that, even scholars, like Chong'er, you are good, so I don't think people are good or not. , everything is still tutoring.”

"Haha. That's right, I'm so promising. Everything is better taught by my aunt." Zhou Zhong laughed and said at this time, Aunt Wang is praising herself in a different way, so naturally Zhou Zhong won't sweep it Her happiness.

After chatting with Aunt Wang for a while, Zhou Zhong came to Zhuan'er's yard again, and told her that Xu's marriage proposal had been rejected by Aunt Wang, which made Zhuan'er jump up happily, and then ran to share the news with Mengwan. Good news.

Seeing Zhuo'er leaving happily, Zhou Zhong sighed, although Zhuo'er is happy now, but she is not young anymore, and she will marry in the future, but I don't know which young talent can impress her. Bracelet's heart?

While Zhou Zhong was dealing with housework, the [-] sailors led by Chang Xiao finally arrived at the southernmost tip of North Korea, which is the Tsushima Strait at the junction of North Korea and Japan, and at the southern end of this narrow strait is Jeju in North Korea. Island, crossing Jeju Island and entering the Tsushima Strait, you will soon see another big island, which is Tsushima Island controlled by the Zong family.

Tsushima Island is divided into Upper Island and Lower Island, collectively known as Tsushima Island, and Tsushima Island plus hundreds of small islands around it, called Tsushima Island. Originally, this island was a land of no owner, and later the Japanese Kingdom was in endless wars. , The Japanese who escaped from the Wa Kingdom occupied this place, which made Tsushima Island the territory of the Wa Kingdom.

The Japanese on Tsushima Island are actually Japanese pirates, who have been harassing North Korea and the coast of Daming. 100 years ago, North Korea sent troops to clear up here. Surrender, although North Korea paid a huge price for this, it can be regarded as the most glorious moment in North Korea's war against Japan.

It's a pity that Japanese people are Japanese people. Although they will surrender for a while, they will not surrender for a lifetime. Rebellion has been engraved in their bones.When the Zong family surrendered to North Korea, they also obtained the right to open shops in Miura, North Korea. At the same time, many Japanese lived in North Korea. As a result, today, a hundred years later, the Japanese in Miura and the Zong family of Tsushima Island are united. North Korea once again raised the butcher's knife, and now several provinces in the south of North Korea are in full swing, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians have died under the Japanese knife.

As the main planner of this rebellion, the Zong family put almost all of their wealth on it. All the adult men on Tsushima Island were mobilized by the Zong family and transported to North Korea to start their journey of robbery and murder. It can be said that since the Japanese rebellion, the route from North Korea to Tsushima Island has been full of Japanese ships transporting spoils, and these ships used to be merchant ships transporting goods.

There are two main reasons why the Zong family dared to so blatantly withdraw all the men from Tsushima Island, and did not worry about the North Korean navy attacking his lair. The first is that he has a good navy in his hands. After all, he lives at sea, so he naturally has his own cards in his hands. With this navy to protect Tsushima Island, he doesn't worry at all that someone will copy his lair.

There is another reason, that is, after the sea ban in North Korea for these years, the North Korean navy has long been dilapidated. It would be good to have 1 actual troops in the 1000-man establishment, let alone the navy. The warships have long been soaked in seawater, and North Korea has never had the money to build new ships, so the entire North Korean navy has become a joke, let alone go to sea to fight, and even have no defensive power.

It is also because of the above reasons that Zong is not worried about the safety of Tsushima Island. In his opinion, the sea is his most reliable defense. It is impossible for the North Koreans to cross the sea to attack him, so he is so relieved All the men on the island and even some able-bodied women were transported to North Korea to help transport the spoils, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled on the island.

Chang Xiao stood on the largest Portuguese warship, holding a telescope and looking at the sea conditions in the distance. They have entered the Tsushima Strait for nearly half a month, and he has been familiarizing the fleet with the sea conditions in the Strait for the purpose of When meeting Zong's sailors in the future, they won't be at a disadvantage because they are not familiar with the sea conditions.

The fleet headed northwest along the strait, and Tsushima Island was soon in the distance, but at this time the Zongshi navy defending Tsushima Island finally discovered this huge fleet. Those tall warships in the middle recognized that it was the fleet of Daming, after all, only Daming could build such a tall sea ship.

At the beginning, Zong's navy thought it was a merchant fleet of Ming Dynasty. After all, smuggling between Ming Dynasty and Japan has continued in recent years, and some fleets of Ming Dynasty often came to trade in the Tsushima Strait, so it was a surprise There was nothing strange about it, but when the fleet approached, the members of Zong's navy suddenly realized that this fleet was not a merchant ship at all, but a warship of Ming Dynasty.

The people of Zong's navy were terrified when they found out that it was a warship from the Ming Dynasty, because the warships from the other side were not only tall, but also covered with weapons, so it was impossible for their small Japanese boats to be the opponents of these warships from the Ming Dynasty.

But even though they knew this, Zong's sailors did not dare to escape without permission. After all, they were responsible for protecting the land. He drove his own small warship to meet him.

Originally, the members of Zong's navy still had a little extravagant hope, and they were going to send someone to ask the intention of the Daming navy that suddenly appeared. Maybe they just lost their way, so they came to Tsushima Strait by mistake?

It's a pity that Chang Xiao didn't give Zong's navy a chance to speak at all. When the distance between the two fleets was still a few hundred paces, Chang Xiao ordered all the ships to fire. They must break up the Japanese navy and never fight with each other. After all They didn't bring many people with them this time, and they were on other people's land, so naturally they couldn't waste their own lives.

"Boom~boom~boom~" The tall blessing boat kept firing, while the Portuguese warship was crossing its body, and the cannons on the side of the ship were also firing row after row, although Chang Xiao knew that the salvo of artillery on the ship was more powerful. Strong, but helplessly, the hull of the Portuguese warship could not withstand the shock of the salvo, so it had to stagger to shoot.

Although Japanese warships are sailors in name, they are actually a group of pirates. Their main task is to plunder at sea, so there are no rules when fighting. All ships just swarm up. As long as they get close to the ships, they will immediately throw flying claws Hook with the cymbal, then jump the helper along the rope to jump onto the enemy ship to fight.

It's a pity that the Japanese have already lagged behind in this kind of boarding battle. Chang Xiao didn't give them a chance to approach at all. There were nearly a thousand artillery pieces on more than 30 ships, and they hadn't stopped since the beginning of the war. They were blasted into pieces as soon as they came, and the rest of the ships were frightened by the artillery. They didn't need orders from others, they turned the bows and immediately fled around, but Chang Xiao didn't intend to let them go. He commanded the battleships to pursue, While blasting the opponent to the bottom of the sea with artillery. (To be continued.
