Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 302 Tsushima Island

At this time, besides Huang Laifu's personal guards, there were Ma Gui, Dong Yiyuan, Chen Lin, Liu Ting, Marshal Quan Li of the Korean capital and other generals. In addition, President Xiaoxi was also taken from the prisoner-of-war camp today. Follow Huang Laifu.He looked a little haggard, but he was in good spirits.Two days ago, Huang Laifu also rewarded him with some winter clothes, wine and food.

Seeing Director Xiaoxi, along the way, Quan Li looked at him with cannibalistic eyes. The Japanese army invaded North Korea twice, and President Xiaonishi's army was the main vanguard. Countless Koreans died under his command. Naturally, Quan Li hated it.

However, President Xiaonishi's face was calm, and he turned a blind eye to these Korean eyes of hatred. Just now, when the North Koreans beat up his soldiers, President Xiaonishi naturally saw clearly. However, President Xiaonishi didn't say anything about this situation. It is normal in this era to be defeated, captured, and suffer some abuse. In the past, the Japanese army often had captured Koreans in the Japanese cities of North Korea. The life they lived was considered hell.

At present, the Ming army treats its subordinates very well. Apart from being beaten and working, they can eat enough every day and their lives will not be in danger. President Xiaoxi is already very satisfied, and the admiral Huang Laifu of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as doing what he said. Arrived, guaranteed the promise to myself that day.What shocked him was the situation in the harbor before him, with so many materials and so many warships, could it be that the Tang people were not satisfied after defeating Korea and wanted to attack Japan?

"If the Tang people really invaded Japan, in the face of the anger of the Tang people and the Koreans, Japan is afraid that it will usher in a catastrophe!"

Just now the Koreans beat the Japanese prisoners of war, Quan Li and other generals were relieved to see it, Chen Lin, Liu Ting and others just watched the show with open mouths, and of course these Ming generals didn't have a good impression of the Japanese.

Looking at the messy situation below, Huang Laifu frowned, and said: "What happened below, go down and have a look, my Heavenly Dynasty is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how can I abuse prisoners of war?"

Soon, a few guards went down and yelled a few words. Seeing that some high-ranking officials had come, the North Korean civilian husbands hurriedly dispersed obediently. The corners of the mouths of the beaten Japanese prisoners were covered with blood, but they didn’t say anything. What, after bowing to Huang Laifu and others from a distance, they started working again, and the port side returned to calm.

President Xiaoxi bowed to Huang Laifu and said, "Tianchao is really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Thank you, Admiral, for your kindness!"

Huang Laifu nodded slightly, and Quan Li sneered and said, "You Japanese thieves have committed countless crimes in North Korea. If it weren't for the admiral's generosity, they would be torn to pieces by the angry people of North Korea!"

The group of court generals behind him also looked at Chief Xiaoxi with cannibalistic eyes.

President Xiaoxi ignored them, but said to Huang Laifu: "Master Admiral, there are so many warships here, so...does the Heavenly Dynasty want to attack Japan?"

The military barracks stretching for dozens of miles outside Busan City, the military ships like clouds, the materials piled up like mountains, and the arrogance and vigor of the victors of the Ming Dynasty army made Xiaoxi feel terrified. How did Japan resist?Today, Huang Laifu made an exception and brought him outside the port, which also meant to demonstrate to him.

Huang Laifu laughed and said, "Mr. Xiaoxi is smart!"

Chief Xiaoxi murmured: "Well, all our troops have withdrawn from Korea... The war is in danger, the two countries should talk about peace, and there should be no more wars..."

Quan Li pointed at him and cursed: "Japanese pirates, you have invaded North Korea several times and committed countless crimes. Do you think that everything will be gone if you escape back to Japan? What will you do in North Korea if you invade Japan in the future? Yes, we will pay back tenfold!"

President Xiaoxi looked at Huang Laifu with a pale face, Huang Laifu smiled and said: "Mr. Xiaoxi, whether the war can end in the future and whether the two countries can be peaceful, we need Mr. Xiaoxi's mediation!"

……

On the third day of the first lunar month, the Admiral's Mansion in Busan City.

On this day, Huang Laifu routinely recruited the generals to discuss matters. During this time, various information from the army had already been coming in continuously.Since the decision to conquer Japan, the army has already sent a large number of spies to various parts of Japan to collect intelligence.All kinds of collected information were processed by the army and placed on Huang Lai's desk, which also affected Huang Laifu's subsequent decision-making.

In Huang Laifu's strategic plan, of course, he did not plan to capture all of Japan's land, but decided to oppress it with heavy troops, and then forced him to cede land and pay compensation.Therefore, the top priority is to capture Tsushima, Iwami, and Nagoya in Japan. In this war, the Ming Dynasty's navy is the top priority and used as the main force.

Huang Laifu's Shanxi army can be invincible in land battles, but in this cross-sea battle, it still relies mostly on Chen Lin's navy.Chen Lin is greedy and arrogant. When he first came to North Korea, he was very dissatisfied with Huang Laifu, especially when he relied on his navy as the main force in the war against Japan, he was even more arrogant.

However, Huang Laifu has learned from Li Shunchen's experience with Chen Lin, and during these time, the two of them fought well. Chen Lin suddenly had a good impression of Huang Laifu.Moreover, after studying Huang Laifu's war history, he also found out many reasons why Huang Laifu admired him.

The most important thing is that Huang Laifu played a killer trick on Chen Lin, and briefly revealed his future layout in Japan, especially the bright future after occupying Iwami Yinshan, and promised to give Chen Lin 10 taels of personal money every year in the future Bonus, this huge sugar-coated bullet, hit the wealthy Chen Zongbing all at once. For the sake of future benefits, Chen Linji has nothing to do with Huang Laifu during these times.

It is undeniable that Chen Lin has military talents, especially the ability to command the navy.

At this time, he pointed to Tsushima Island on the map and said, "Admiral, the most important thing in this battle is to capture the Japanese island of Tsushima and Nagoya!"

He said: "Tsushima, North Korea and Japan are across the sea. They are halfway between the two countries, thirty miles from east to west, and nearly two hundred miles from north to south. The land is vast, and it can be used as a place for our navy to garrison and supply. Even Our land soldiers can also garrison tens of thousands of people. With Tsushima, our Daming and Korean naval forces can look at the entire Japanese land, and then our warships can attack at will, and take any Japanese land!"

"As for the land of Nagoya, it is still the place where the Japanese invaded Korea. The wharf, the city, and the barracks are very complete. After our army takes it, they can go to the Japanese land continuously. It is time to take Kyoto, or It’s a big board, let our army take the initiative! As long as the supplies can keep up, and the Japanese army gathers in the Japanese land, the Japanese will be discouraged and have no choice but to sign an alliance with our army under the city.”

Huang Laifu nodded, and said: "My Ming Dynasty will definitely take this place of Tsushima Island. In the future, after this place becomes my land of Ming Dynasty, we will build warships and ports here. If the Japanese make any changes, our division will be able to extinguish them with a thunderous force." Of!"

Speaking of this, Huang Laifu said with a smile: "Chen Zongbing, if the first battle of conquest of Japan is successful, my admiral should declare to the emperor that Chen Zongbing will not be able to escape the great achievements in this!"

Chen Lin was overjoyed, and said with a smile all over his face: "Thank you, Admiral, for your cultivation and promotion. I will definitely do my best to repay you for your kindness. I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate!"

Huang Laifu nodded, and discussed with the generals a few more words. At this time, a servant came in to report that Tsushima Island, Japan, had sent another envoy to negotiate peace.

Huang Laifu smiled and thought: "It's time to receive the Japanese who are negotiating peace!"

……

The army of the Ming Dynasty was about to attack Japan, and the whole country of Japan was naturally very anxious. Unexpectedly, the invasion of North Korea this time would lead to fire. Although many Japanese clamored for a fight to the death, those Tang people were like the "Yuan Bandits" in history. land.

However, as long as you are clear-headed, you know that there is no chance of winning this battle against Tang. In the seven-year Wanli Korean War, Korea was full of hunger, and Japan also suffered great losses. Not only the domestic veterans The loss was more than half, even the domestic economy was in depression, the people were in turmoil, and the Ming Dynasty everywhere was ready to move. The Toyotomi family in power already had no ability to resist Ming's thunderous blow.

Therefore, after receiving the news that Ming Dynasty was going to invade Japan, countless Japanese envoys came to lobby for peace talks.

And when the Ming Dynasty wanted to attack Japan, the first person to bear the brunt was the Zongyi clan of Tsushima Island on the Cape of Tsushima. Since the beginning of December last year, the Zongyi clan had sent countless envoys to Busan, hoping to see Huang Laifu. But Huang Laifu didn't see him at all, making them anxious like ants on a hot pan.

At present, the head of Tsushima Island is Zongyi Zhizhi of the Zongyi family. This Zongyizhi is the No. 20 generation of the Zongjia. After the 15th year of Wanli, his father Zongyi Tiao lived in seclusion and inherited the position of the family governor. At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi In the "Kyushu Expedition" battle, he led an army of 1000 people to aid him, so he was named Tsushima Shou and Iki Shou by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued the "Korean Conquest Order" on New Year's Day in the 20th year of Wanli, Zong Yizhi strongly opposed it due to the close trade relationship between Malaysia and North Korea, but Hideyoshi ignored it and threatened to confiscate the clan's territory.Therefore, Zong Yizhi was forced to lead an army of more than 4 people to follow Konishi Xingchang on April 12 of the same year.

After the first Korean War, Zong Yizhi followed Konishi Xingchang to guard Namwon. At this time, only one tenth of the original 2000 people remained.After the Battle of the South China Sea in the Second Korean War, Zong Yoshitomo chose the route of traveling southwest from Jeju Island into the Daming Sea and then turning back to Tsushima Island, thus avoiding the attacks of the Daming Navy and the Korean Navy.

But even so, after several years of the Korean War, the Zongyi family suffered great losses. The original population of more than 2 on the island is now less than [-], and the economy is in decline. The trade between North Korea and Japan is booming, as a transit point and checkpoint for the import and export of goods between the two places. However, during several years of war, both Ming and North Korea imposed an economic blockade on Japan, including Tsushima Island. Without these incomes, The islanders were so poor that many fled.

Regarding these losses, Zong Yizhi had no other choice but to sigh, but at least he was the master of the island, so he still had food to eat.It's just that after hearing that the army of the Ming Dynasty was about to capture Japan, they knew that disaster was imminent.

Although Japan is an island, it is famous for its small and useless warships at this time. After the South China Sea War, the entire navy was almost wiped out. The island is isolated overseas, and don't expect any Japanese navy to come to their aid.After several years of brutal wars, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, especially the direct descendants of the Toyotomi family.

The local Toyotomi family has no possibility of helping them, and the catastrophe of extinction is just around the corner.The only way is to beg Daming for peace talks.
