Chapter 142. Raiders of the Wa Kingdom
I thought that the Japanese samurai who shouted all day long were so powerful, they were not as good as the Japanese invaders, the first round of shelling they were crazy to attack the generals surnamed Li Chaoyin, and the Li Chao sailors who crackled with iron cannons were like wontons, and the second round of shelling broke two boats, and these samurai who were known as fearless of death collapsed, rowing their oars and desperately fleeing to Tsushima Island behind them.
I didn't know that Li Shanhai had let Mao Jue stuff him into a small black house, and when he saw that his own people were attacked, Li Chao's Banwu boat followed by Mao Jue's troop carrier, and he was so angry that he wanted to take revenge. Finally, those small models of Cangshan boats, Fuchuan came in handy, and directly crashed into the shore, and the infantrymen, who had been gearing up for a long time, rushed to the north port of Tsushima Island with flintlock pistols and roaring.
Originally, I thought I would be able to experience some fierce battles, but the whole process of attacking the island started from Liu Chong's regiment rushing forward against the flag of the Li Dynasty, and until the flag was inserted into the castle tower of Tsushima City, Honmaru, it took a total of eleven minutes, even counting the stairs, and the Tsushima samurai family along the way did not even dare to fire a single shot, did not dare to fire an arrow, and actually surrendered.
The low castle tower is built on the mountainside, the scenery is good, looking down, most of the Tsushima Island are in view, but the scale is really a bit small, just three floors, and those towering Japanese ancient cities are not comparable at all, the low ones are about the same as a hotel.
In the courtyard, the samurai of the Ming army were already able to hold the flintlock pistol for a circle, in the middle, the lord of Tsushima Island with two concubines, a few stupid sons and more than a dozen samurai retainers, a large number of bald heads in the center of the light under the custody of the Ming army, sad kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, especially this sharp-beaked monkey with a big belly, like a profiteer more than like a samurai, the expression on the old face was like being hit by a dog shit falling from the sky, and his hands trembled and held a katana high.
It's not that he doesn't want to resist, there are only more than 3,000 islanders in Tsushima, and Mao Jue's Goryeo mercenaries are more than 2,400, and they are well-equipped, so they can't fight at all.
Surrounded by the elite soldiers of the brigade, Mao Jue carried Li Shanhai, who had an ice cube face, and proudly walked in from the main gate with a victorious attitude.
"Master Li, please!"
Facing the katana, Mao Jue smiled and made a gesture of please.
There are still such good things in the world, don't take the initiative to give the land you have laid to others, why can't Mao Jue encounter this good thing herself! But the old goblin still doesn't appreciate it, now the old face is black and rainy, Li Shanhai is angry and turned his head to the side, hugging his arms like a tsundere look, and he didn't want to take care of it, but he roared angrily.
"No merit is not lost, this is fought down by General Mao, and it naturally belongs to the territory of Daming and Dongjiang! Li can't take it!"
The old guy hasn't figured it out now, and he thinks he can make a clear line with Mao Jue.
really has the image of a villain on TV, Mao Jue leaned forward with a sinister smile, and looked at Li Shanhai's old face with an evil smile.
"Are you sure, Lord Li?"
"This work of recovering the homeland, if Lord Li doesn't want it, I will really take it in Dongjiang Town! Anyway, this cannon is fired, whether the Ming Dynasty occupies this place or the Li Dynasty occupies this place, if the Japanese want to be angry, sooner or later a large army will attack, Lord Li, do you think that if the Japanese country launches an attack, will it stop at Tsushima Island? ”
Listening to Mao Jue's playful words, Li Shanhai almost died of anger, and his face instantly suffocated as if he was constipated, but for a moment, he was like a deflated balloon. As Mao Jue said, Li Dynasty, Dongjiang, no matter who fired the first shot at the Japanese State, if the Japanese State wants to retaliate back, the first one will still take Li Chao, who will let them get closer? In the Wanli Korean War of that year, Li Chao was not also lying on the gun, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi kept saying that he was here to crusade against the Ming Dynasty!
So in any case, Li Shanhai was dragged into the water by Mao Jue, so it is better to take this pair of Falklands Island, at least there is a merit in recovering his homeland! As soon as the DPRK and China are cross-examined, he finally has a phone call to shirk it.
As for how did this homeland work come about? You must know that when the Li Dynasty was founded, it was not as poor as it is now, the civil and military classes were decadent and degenerate, and the army that had become a pariah was weak and cowardly. To the west, they attacked the Jurchens several times, and almost slaughtered the ancestors of Nurhachi, to the east, the Li Dynasty also sent troops to take down Tsushima Island, forcing the Tsushima clan to submit, which belonged to the Li Dynasty, and accepted the official position and feudal title of the Li Dynasty for more than 200 years, until the Wanli Korean War a few decades ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi reoccupied Tsushima Island, and used it and Jeju Island as a base to set off a crazy attack on the peninsula, and after that, the Li Dynasty did not dare to take back Tsushima Island again.
The most unlucky thing here is the Zong clan, in the confrontation between the two bigwigs, no one accepted the surrender on his knees for a long time, and the surrender was all nested to his point, this widow is also the number one, and he pretended to be in the position for a long time, and finally Li Shanhai reached out angrily and snatched the katana away, and then held the knife with Li Chao's civil and military officials who had not woken up from the emergency, and advanced into the hall step by step.
As soon as the knife left his hand, the clan also sat down on the ground as if it was free.
The common problem of literati, when he became an old bustard, he had to set up an archway, seeing Li Shanhai's arrogant back, Mao Jue smiled helplessly and shrugged his shoulders with other Dongjiang generals, and followed in.
The entire Tsushima Island has a population of about 3,000, and even the warships that were just blocked do not belong to the Zong clan, but the border guards of the Nabeshima clan of the Hesa Domain.
In the treasury gold of the Zong clan, there are 10,000 taels of large and small judgments, and there are tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there are no copper coins.
It was a real surprise.
Tsushima Island, which arrived in the evening, ended the offensive and defensive battle in less than half an hour, and it was not yet dark, so he ordered the fleet to anchor in Tsushima Harbor, no matter whether the Goryeo mercenaries or the Ming army were willing to find something to eat, it didn't matter if they went ashore, anyway, they couldn't lose any islands, so they went.
settled his subordinates, and then in the Zong clan's castle tower, in front of the sect master who poured tea, Mao Jue smiled and held a teacup to Li Shanhai to share the spoils.
"Gong Li! Congratulations to our two armies on the victory of exterminating the Japanese Bandits, how about these captures for us to add two to five? ”
In the twitching of the old face of the devil of the Zong Clan, Li Shanhai waved his hand with a gloomy face.
"General Xiao Mao, we first occupied this place, and we forcibly seized the wealth of the feudal mansion like this, I'm afraid it will lose people's hearts, right? According to this official, this batch of property should not be taken! ”
It's not that this old boy is not greedy, he is an old politician, he knows what silver can be taken and what silver is taken, he has to get into trouble, this clan has been mixed under the Li Dynasty for more than 200 years, and he has been mixed steadily for more than 20 years after returning to the Japanese Kingdom, is it possible that he has no connections? Tsushima played a role in communicating the commodity economy of Korea and Japan, which involved the Japanese state, and Li Chao did not know how intricate the relationship of interests was, even if Li Shanhai was the judge of the military department, he did not dare to provoke this fire, otherwise I don't know how many nobles would hate him to death.
But Mao Jue doesn't care what interests he has or not, and he can't get used to coming to Tieshan to find him! Mao Ye is so arrogant. Hearing Li Shanhai being so empty, Mao Jue waved his hand indifferently.
"The hearts of the people? There are only two or three thousand people on this island, and it's a big deal to slaughter it, Li Gong, if you don't want it, this silver will be unkind! ”
Just kidding, how many people did the little devils kill in my country, how many blood debts do they have, and what happened to the ancestors who slaughtered him?
It was really red-eyed and his heart was beating, but he really didn't dare to step into this fire pit, and after a few seconds, the old guy waved his hand with pain on his face.
"General Mao can collect it himself, and Li doesn't want it!"
The painful face had not completely disappeared, and Li Shanhai immediately slapped the table with anger on his face.
"General Xiao Mao, are you really crazy? Provoking the Wa Kingdom, Liaodong Hulu is flourishing in front of us, and it is already difficult for our dynasty to support the army of the Heavenly Empire, once we start a war with the Wa State, let the Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom kill the corpses all over the field and the blood is flowing, is there any benefit to the general? ”
This trip with Mao Jue can be regarded as a catastrophe, and it seems to recall the sea of corpses and blood during the Wanli Korean War, and Li Shanhai is intestines are about to regret.
I really don't know what's wrong with him, he is used to breaking the big table with an iron sand palm, and the slap slaps on the low table of the Japanese people in later generations make a loud noise, and Mao Jue feels pain when he sees it. didn't speak, Mao Jue's hands were numb while waiting for him to clap, so he lazily took a sip of tea and pointed a finger on his breastplate.
"Li Gongmo is not joking?"
Standing up suddenly, Mao Jue pointed his fingers forward, waved his arm, and smiled exaggeratedly.
"Who is my Mao? General! How did the general's exploits come about? The war came! Jiannu can't beat it now, of course I'm looking for the soft persimmon of the Japanese to pinch it! Otherwise, where will the military pay come from? Where does the military merit come from? You are still a soldier and a champion in the state, do you still need to be reminded in the future? ”
This naked utilitarian declaration, Li Shanhai listened to it and his old face turned pale, Mao Jue wanted to drag himself, the entire Li Dynasty into the flames of war, for the sake of his own utilitarianism, and he was not a son of man or a minister!
But before the old guy could let out his anger, Mao Jue suddenly put his face in front of the old guy.
"Master Li! You don't have dreams? Leader in politics? Fuyuan-kun? ”
…………
Tsushima Island is not the end of Mao Jue's trip, at night, some livestock on Tsushima Island, what kind of cattle and cattle are slaughtered, and then the night to increase morale, and then the gold and silver pulled out by the family are loaded on the Daifuku ship and transported back to Kumajin, this night will be dealt with.
The silver can't be sent now, this is the common practice in the East and the West, to control the army with military salaries, if the military salaries are sent down early, with silver in their arms, the courage of the soldiers to work hard can be diluted a lot, so Mao Jue always pays and rewards after the battle, and then puts those pro-soldiers on vacation to spend money, spending money is more addictive than drugs, the silver is spent, the next time you go to the battlefield, it is even crazier than killing people with a poor and white soldier, This is one of the reasons why the veterans under Mao Jue's command are stronger than the recruits.
Now, these soldiers who had just enlisted in the army were in this state of hunger for wealth, leaving a huge regiment full of depression to stay on Tsushima Island to occupy and suppress those Zong people, and early the next morning, in the sound of a hurried horn, those who had not yet made a fortune and were hungry were following Mao Jue to embark on the huge Black Pearl sail battleship.
Today, Li Shanhai also climbed up honestly, and climbed onto the bridge like a dog, but the old guy still had a straight face, holding his arms and skimming his head like a door god and didn't speak, the old guy had to accept his fate, anyway, he had already stepped on the thief ship, and he could only pray that what Mao Jue fooled by God was true, and defeating the Wa State would allow him to earn some military merits, as for whether the Wa State was really powerless to attack in the future, and whether Li Chao could kill the corpse mountain and blood sea again, he couldn't control it.
The Tsushima Strait, as the Asahi boundary sea, is not short or long, and in an hour and a half, another rather wide island was impressively reflected in Mao Jue's telescope.
Iki Island!
This is also the stage from the invasion of the territorial waters of the Japanese State to the official transition to the invasion of the territory of the Japanese State.
Yesterday did not rush to kill, the seven ships fled back, this time, the Japanese people are obviously prepared, more than 30 ships, more than 100 have been eyeing the extension of Iki Island, on the shore, you can vaguely see the dense Japanese army waving the rather imposing neck flag behind them, hurriedly arranged.
However, Mao Jue came to find fault with the training, so many defensive troops not only made him nervous, but a bloodthirsty excitement flashed in his pupils, pulling the cable, he really roared like a pirate captain.
"Brethren! On the edge of the sea, it is either a place to prepare a Japanese or an anti-Japanese road! These robbers have robbed us for more than 200 years, and in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, children can stop crying at night, why? ”
The pistol was pointed at the messy Japanese sailors, and at the infantry lined up on the deck, Mao Jue roared murderously.
"Today! Let us be Tang Kou too!"
