633 Susa Silver Mine

As soon as Naotaka Jing died, the Japanese army, which was already demoralized, was completely chaotic.

The leaders of the Japanese army each found a familiar person to discuss what to do next? And the Japanese soldiers at the bottom shrank in the big place of Tsushima Island, and these later armies, which were originally not very disciplined, suddenly lacked control, and under the atmosphere of panic, they often made some out-of-character morale.

The daimyo in various places are not harmonious, and those who have had contradictions on both sides before, and they don't like each other, and it has become a natural thing to start from moving their mouths to moving their hands and swords.

In addition, even in the army of the same place, the soldiers who have contradictions with each other are often filled with anger, and they are all vented in the end.

As a result, the entire Tsushima Island, the morale of brawls, group fights, and weapon fights emerged in endlessly. The leader of the Japanese people is annoying, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he will naturally not be patient to deal with it, and the result will often encourage the continuation of the chaos.

Later, a few Japanese soldiers slaughtered a cow from the indigenous islands of Tsushima and ate it secretly. The natives who rushed there after hearing the news were powerful, and immediately tied up the Japanese soldiers who stole cattle to show the public.

The Japanese in the barracks couldn't find a punching bag to vent their anger in their hearts, and as a result, the two sides naturally fought. After his eyes were red, no matter what the natives were, the relatives of the lord of the Tsushima domain directly raised a knife and killed people.

At first, it was to kill the natives of the family, but later, it began to expand. When the leader of the Japanese arrived when he heard the news, more than half of the natives of Tsushima were slaughtered.

Regarding this situation, Zong Yicheng was so angry that he wanted to split. At this time, he regretted it very much, why did he choose the side of the Japanese Kingdom!

Such a big loss, if he admitted it, he would not be able to explain it to those subordinates, so without saying a word, he immediately took a boat and went to Edo to find Tokugawa Iemitsu for an explanation.

Seeing this, the daimyo simply did not stop doing anything, and directly exterminated all the natives on Tsushima Island, robbed all the belongings, and scattered in a hurry, each leading his army to flee back to his fiefdom.

This incident is known in history as the "Tsushima Massacre".

The next day, Zheng Zhilong found that there seemed to be something wrong on Tsushima Island, so he brought the sailor over to check again. It turned out that there was not a single living Japanese in such a large Tsushima Island.

So, this situation was quickly reported to Lu Xiangsheng. For this reason, Lu Xiangsheng also personally boarded Tsushima Island to check the situation.

To be honest, this kind of massacre caused by military disasters, Lu Xiangsheng has not seen it. In this regard, he said to Li Dingguo and others who followed behind him: "See, the Japanese are cruel, and they have to fight with Jianyu." If you want my people to be protected from it, you have to use the army to protect the people of the Ming Dynasty and eliminate the Japanese invaders! ”

After some patriotic education, Lu Xiangsheng transferred troops to collect the corpses of the natives of Tsushima Island, dug a large pit and buried them after centralized incineration, and erected a tombstone: the tomb of the people of Tsushima Island. There is also a stele to record the general situation of this incident, so that the world knows the cruelty of the Japanese people.

After doing this, Lu Xiangsheng ordered to transfer Japanese prisoners from the Korean mainland to build and transform Tsushima Island, and to build and transform Tsushima Island into a starting point for conquering the Japanese Kingdom in the future.

However, the cold winter is coming soon, the land is frozen tightly, and the work such as digging is a bit unrealistic, but it can still be done by logging and expanding the docks. Although it is cold enough, it is not the Ming soldiers who suffer from the cold, so it doesn't matter.

Lu Xiangsheng stood at the height of the dock, but he was not afraid of the cold wind, he straightened up and watched the Japanese captives working, and continued to think about his own affairs in his heart.

Today, tens of thousands of troops are stationed in southern Korea, including Tsushima Island, and the expenses of the imperial court are not small. How can we reduce the burden on the imperial court?

If Lu Xiangsheng was simply a military general, he would not have considered this kind of thing at all. However, he is a civilian official, a feudal official of the Ming Dynasty, and he holds military and political power, so he naturally has to consider this aspect of things.

The Ryukyu Kingdom has asked the Ming for help, and now it can take this opportunity to help the Ryukyus drive away the Japanese invaders, so that the army will not be idle. In addition, it is also possible to station a part of the army to the Ryukyus, so that the supply of grain and grass for this part of the army can be solved by the Ryukyu state, which can save some of the burden of the imperial court.

Lu Xiangsheng was thinking about these things, and suddenly, a Japanese suddenly popped out of the working Japanese captives and ran towards Lu Xiangsheng. When the soldiers of the Ming army who supervised the work saw it, they were all startled and immediately chased after them.

Lu Xiangsheng is here, but no one is alarmed. The Japanese who want to assassinate the Governor head-on are probably not even born! However, it is still necessary to fulfill the responsibilities that should be fulfilled.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's personal guards, he immediately drew his knife forward and stopped in front of Lu Xiangsheng.

The widow saw that he was about to be caught up by the Ming soldiers behind, and suddenly, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Lu Xiangsheng, and shouted loudly in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty: "The villain has important things to tell the adults, and the villains have important things to ......."

As he spoke, the soldiers of the Ming army who were chasing after him had already caught up with him, holding his shoulder with one hand and pressing him to the ground.

To tell the truth, such a thing happened in front of the Governor, even if it happened suddenly, it was a little embarrassing for these soldiers who had the responsibility of overseer.

Although the widow was pressed down and his face was pressed to the cold ground, he was still shouting there: "The villain has something important to tell the adult, and the villain has something important to ......."

Zheng Zhilong, who was on the side, stared at the widow for a while, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw the appearance of this widow, he was also a little curious, and immediately ordered lightly: "Let him go and let him finish his words." ”

"Yes!" When the soldiers of the Ming army who pressed him heard this, they immediately responded and retreated behind the widow. But I'm ready to shoot again at any time, and I don't dare to let this widow do anything else.

The widow straightened up again, his face still sticking to the mud, but he didn't care about it, knelt there and said loudly to Lu Xiangsheng: "The villain wants to be the supervisor of those widows, and they will never dare to be lazy when they are supervised." As long as the adults agree, the villains are willing to offer a silver mine! ”

At the beginning, when he heard the request of this widow, Lu Xiangsheng was a little speechless, and even ran over to say that he wanted to be an overseer. But then, he heard the second half of the words of this widow, and he was immediately shocked: Silver mine?

When he came back to his senses, Lu Xiangsheng was of course very interested, and immediately asked, "Where is the silver mine?" If there is a silver mine, the official can grant your request. ”

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong, who was on the side, suddenly remembered who this person was, and immediately approached Lu Xiangsheng and whispered: "My lord, this person is a retainer of Tsushima Domain's lord Zong Yicheng, and he was ordered to falsely spread the news of the Japanese army before, so he should be Zong Yicheng's confidant. ”

That's right, this Japanese is Liu Bide, and before, he was one of the Japanese people sent by Zong Yicheng to lead the way as a guide in the Japanese Naval Division. However, bad luck was not long after the landing and was captured by the Ming army.

After being escorted back to Tsushima, Lyubid discovered that the entire population of Tsushima had been slaughtered by the defeated Japanese army, including his relatives. For this, he almost went crazy.

Lu Xiangsheng's official position and personality, he naturally inquired, and he felt that his requirements were not high, so that the Ming army could get silver mines for nothing, there should be no problem, so he fought for this.

At this time, he really got Lu Xiangsheng's promise, and he immediately said: "My lord, there is a silver mine on Tsushima Island, but it does not contain a lot of silver, far less than the Iwami Silver Mountain, so it has not been excavated. If the adults are willing, the villains are willing to sacrifice this silver mine. ”

The first silver mine in the Wa Kingdom was actually on Tsushima Island.

Before Wanyan Aguta led the Jurchen to rise, the Jurchen was ruled by the Liao State. At that time, when the real power of women was not strong, they did not dare to rob the Liao State, and they could not rob the Song Dynasty. Goryeo, a country including Korea, was at war with Liao, and it was relatively powerful at that time. Therefore, the Jurchens hit the idea to the side of the Wa Kingdom.

In the third year of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, in 1019, 3,000 Jurchens attacked Tsushima Island with 50 warships, and after plundering, they set fire to the Tsushima silver mine. Later, these Jurchens also attacked the Japanese mainland, hit the island of Kyushu, and returned with a full load after plundering.

Lu Xiangsheng is well-read and strong, and he has also seen this incident in history in miscellaneous records. Therefore, when he heard this, he knew that the widow probably did not lie, so he said happily: "Whether this mine is rich or poor, as long as you have the heart to offer it, this official can agree to your request." ”

As long as there is silver to dig up, anyway, there are prisoners on hand to use, and the silver dug up is just enough to subsidize the military, which is a windfall!

"My lord, this silver mine is in Susa." When Liu Bide said this, he remembered that the Ming army probably didn't know where Susa was, so he hurriedly added, "The adults can send people, and the villains will lead the way, and there will be no fake." ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he asked Lu Da to bring some Ming soldiers with him to verify the situation.

As soon as they left, Zheng Zhilong said to Lu Xiangsheng: "My lord, looking at the hatred of this Japanese people for other Japanese people, it is estimated that he wants to avenge his people. Digging silver mines, there will be more dead people, and those widows can be killed; As an overseer, you can justifiably whip those widows......"

Hearing his explanation, Lu Xiangsheng nodded, but he didn't care about it. It can even be said that he can understand the motives of this widow. Since he is so fierce to those Japanese prisoners, it is estimated that he will be diligent in his work, which is a good thing for Daming, so let him go.

Later events proved that Susa Ginzan did exist, and it was not a bonanza. In the original history, it was the son of Zong Yoshinari who mined Susa Silver Mountain when he could not make money through trade. Now, it has become the Ming Dynasty mining.

Seeing the first batch of golden sands in front of him, even Lu Xiangsheng was a little long-looking at Shu, and immediately asked Zheng Zhilong: "You are familiar with the Wa Kingdom, how about seeing the silver mountain?" ”
