Zong Yizhen turned his head and glanced at the retainer who advised him to abandon the city and leave, this person was the old Sasu Sheng family of the Ma Zong family...... Apparently a loyal samurai!

"Baga!" Zong Yizhen really wanted to escape, but he still gritted his teeth and reprimanded, "Sasu! Do you want me to be a sinner who abandoned the land of Japan and fled? ”

"But......," said Sasu Mori, "but the Mongols came too suddenly, and it was too late to gather men, and now there were only 48 people in Fuchu City." ”

The Tsushima clan was a daimyo of 100,000 Shijiage, and theoretically could have been armed with three or four thousand men—a number that was certainly not a standing army, but a number after mobilization.

However, the family character of the Tsushima clan is false, which only shows that the status of the Tsushima clan is not really a territory of 100,000 stones. Because Tsushima Island is full of mountains, there is not much land where rice can be grown, so it is also a "stone-free" territory. However, the Tsushima clan still owns a small piece of land with a stone height of 10,000 koku in Hizen Province in Kyushu, so the actual stone height is 10,000 koku.

Of course, although Zong's actual stone height is pitiful, it does not mean that the family is poor. On the contrary, the Tsushima clan was one of the few wealthy daimyo in Japan, and the clan's wealth came from trade.

Because the Mune, who ruled Tsushima for a long time, was a bridge between Japan and Korea, the Muneji was not only a vassal of the Tokugawa shogunate, but also a foreign vassal of the Joseon Kingdom. In order to facilitate diplomacy with Korea, the Tokugawa shogunate also recognized the status of the clan as "one servant and two masters".

Legally speaking, the Tsushima clan could not be regarded as a real wolf, they were only "Japanese" and not "Japanese", and they were a wealthy merchant lord.

Because the Jong clan was a foreign vassal of Joseon, it was allowed to set up a "Wakan" in Busan, North Korea, and at the same time, it was allowed to send 20 "annual ships" to Busan every year.

The Tokugawa shogunate also needed to negotiate with the Korean kingdom through the clan - the Tokugawa shogunate's brain circuit was also quite strange, on the one hand, it wanted to establish diplomatic relations with Korea and ease the hostile relations caused by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea; On the one hand, they are reluctant to have equal diplomatic relations with Korea, but want to regard Korea as a country inferior to Japan.

Because of this unrealistic concept of diplomacy, the shogunate was reluctant to deal directly with the Korean state, so it gave the clan a great deal of diplomatic authority...... As a result, the Zong clan was able to treat Japan-North Korean diplomacy as a business, and in thirty or forty years, he had accumulated a huge amount of wealth, and his financial resources far exceeded that of the daimyo who actually controlled 100,000 Shijiage.

However, this financial power could not be quickly translated into combat effectiveness, because the financial power of the Jong family was not built on industrial and commercial cities with large populations, nor on farmland with large populations, but on several merchant ships - the quota of 20 "annual ships" was not equal to 20 ships, but the quota of annual trade in the port of Busan. It's not far from Busan to Hakata, and a boat can easily run 20 round trips a year.

Therefore, the force that the Zong family can control at hand is very limited, that is, a small number of retainers and a few sailors on merchant ships. And most of these merchant ships were not in Tsushima, but in Hakata and Nagasaki.

If the Mongolian navy could give the Tsushima family a little time to prepare, the Tsushima family could spend money to hire soldiers. In these years, the most important thing in Japan is the samurai (ronin), and with the savings of the Tsushima family, tens of thousands of ronin troops do not need to go to southern Kyushu, and they can find all in northern Kyushu.

But the Tsushima family did not expect the Mongols to come...... What era is this, how can there be a "Yuan Kou attack"?

So now there are less than 180 samurai on Tsushima, and they are still scattered all over the place - Tsushima is not an island, but two large islands in the north and south, plus many smaller islands. Although there was only one castle (the other castles were demolished by order of the shogunate), there were still many villages that had to be managed by samurai.

Therefore, here in Fuzhong City, there are only 48 people that Zong Yi can really gather!

Moreover, most of these 48 people are not in charge of slashing people, and the samurai who are in charge of slashing people are called "fan soldiers", and they do not account for a high proportion of feudal warriors.

Even if these 48 people were all samurai, they had no chance of winning at all if they had to resist the attack of thousands of Yuankou with strong ships and cannons.

But Zong Yizhen still didn't dare to leave...... It's going to be seppuku! How much it hurts!

"48 people will also fight to the end!" Zong Yizhen gritted his teeth and roared angrily with tears in his eyes, "Zong family boy, I'd rather die than give in!" ”

......

The Tsushima clan's Wokou is fake, and of course the Yuan Kou of Ao Bai is also fake, but the war is real, and it is fought very seriously!

Baturu of the Blue Flag Europa Gala. Debelasco was a full-fledged naval officer in the Japanese Navy, a veteran captain who had participated in at least dozens of naval operations and had extensive experience in combat and navigation.

In order to avoid being detected and intercepted by the "Japanese fleet" stationed on Geoje Island, Deberasco commanded his fleet to circumnavigate the open sea under the cover of night, and went directly to the southeast of Tsushima Island, that is, through the waters near the Japanese island of Kyushu, and appeared east of the port of Itsukuhara.

Subsequently, five Western-style armed merchant ships (not all of which were provided by the Japanese state) formed an artillery column with the "New Oriental" as the flagship, and began to bombard two small batteries at the entrance to the port of Itsuhara with 6-pound naval guns.

I didn't intend to destroy it, I just wanted to attract the attention of the Wakos.

At the same time, Manchuria's No. 1 Batu Lu Aobai led his 1,000 "Jianrui Battalion" warriors to land in an undefended bay about 10 miles north of Yanyuan Town and Fuzhong City, and occupied a fishing village.

I heard a lot of rumors about how the Japanese were murderous from the Koreans, and I didn't dare to take it lightly at this time.

He divided his Jianrui battalion into three, with a cow to guard the fishing village and build fortifications. There were also two Niu Lu, carrying "light muskets" from the "Barcelona House of the Kingdom of Si Si Bania" that could be equipped with bayonets, lit the fire rope, inserted socket bayonets, and went straight to the middle city of Fuzhong along the mountain road in groups of 100 people.

The landing of thousands of people and the careful advance delayed a lot of time, and also made Zong Yizhen, who was once ready to defend the cage city, hallucinate. I thought I could play something to be a miracle of ten.

Therefore, on the evening of that day, that is, on the evening of March 11 of the second year of Japan's commitment, the wrong decision was made to take the risk and launch a surprise attack.

Because of the mobilization for most of the previous day, Zong Yizhen's retainers had gathered nearly 300 miscellaneous soldiers from the neighboring town of Itsukuhara, all of whom were fishermen and small traders. At this time, there were enough weapons and armor to arm 3,000 people in Fuchu Castle (a family of 100,000 koku can have so much equipment), so Zong Yoshizane organized these miscellaneous soldiers and samurai in the city into a 320-man "Yuan Army" according to the common organization method in Japan at this time (mixing iron artillery soldiers, pikemen, and horse warriors), and then personally led them out of the city to ambush, wanting to take the enemy by surprise.

The plan was great, but in the process of execution, something went terribly wrong.

Since most of the samurai and miscellaneous soldiers of the Zong family are not professional in cutting people, even if they are professional, they are still in battle today, and they are all nervous.

Therefore, before the vanguard of Ao Bai entered the ambush circle, a few nervous and trembling iron artillery soldiers fired indiscriminately, and the remaining iron artillery soldiers could not understand the situation, and when they saw that others had fired, they also opened fire together.

The battlefield was suddenly filled with the smell of choking gunsmoke!

And unlike the nervous and nervous Japanese Kou, the warriors under Ao Bai are all experienced in battle, and they have been trained by the "Europa Banner People", and they have also secretly learned the "bayonet warfare" of the Ming army, so no one shoots indiscriminately.

Not only did they not shoot indiscriminately, but they also directly picked up the muskets with bayonets and formed several "skirmish lines" (in fact, they just spread it casually, the terrain on Tsushima Island was rugged, and it was impossible to set up a serious phalanx), and pressed towards the Japanese who had finished the iron gun.

The samurai and miscellaneous soldiers under Zong Yizhen didn't know that there were bayonets, and the light was a little dim at that time, and they didn't realize that the "short spear" held by their opponents was actually a musket with knives, so they rushed out of the forest in a daze and charged against the musket of "Yuankou...... What awaits them, of course, is round after round of gun shooting!
