Zheng Zhilong sent someone to pass the order, that is, to let Zong Yicheng be the outpost of the Ming army, and if he found that the Japanese sailors appeared, he would put up a red flag on the high place on the island. Among them, there were 500 warships under the red flag and 300 warships under the blue flag to warn Busan.

The reason why Zong Yicheng was asked to do it here was that the Ming army did not have enough troops to control such a large Tsushima Island, at least in the short term!

Now the manpower of the Ming army is used to search for and suppress the Japanese scattered at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula; If there are fewer people sent to Tsushima, and these Japanese have different intentions, it is equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and it is useless at a critical moment; If there are too many troops sent to Tsushima, once the forces are dispersed, the battle will be more dangerous and less cost-effective.

At this time, Zong Yicheng heard the question of the general of the Ming army, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "The matter of the handsome, naturally you must do your best, and there will be no mistakes!" ”

When the Ming army general heard this, he was still satisfied with Zong Yicheng's respect, so he was ready to go back to pay the order, but before leaving, he warned Zong Yicheng: "If you play a treacherous role, the marshal said that you will destroy Tsushima Island!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" Zong Yicheng listened, immediately nodded and replied again and again.

So, just like that, after a quarter of an hour or so, Zong Yicheng saw that the Ming warship had gone away, so he turned around and went home, and at the same time, his face suddenly became gloomy: a dignified feudal lord of 100,000 stones, facing a small leader of the Ming army, but he had to be so respectful, how could he be happy.

His subordinates, from the beginning to the end, naturally understood what he was thinking, and the older attendant said to him: "The feudal lord does not need to worry, in the opinion of the villain, although the Ming army is strong for a while, it is only a foreign army after all, so there is no need to worry!" ”

"Oh?" When Zong Yicheng heard this, he immediately raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at the man and asked, "How do you say that?" ”

If he hadn't seen the strength of the Ming army, why would he have taken the initiative to lower his voice so actively!

The other entourages were also a little curious, and they all looked at this older man and wanted to hear what he had to say?

I only listened to the old entourage to Zong Yicheng and said: "How is the war on the Korean side, in the end, it is only the Ming army itself that is saying, where is the head of the Great Eye of the Japanese State or the old man?" Not at all! What is the real situation on the Korean side, we must not just listen to what the Ming army says and believe anything. As far as we can see on the Falklands side, on the North Korean side, the Ming army should have the upper hand. At least for now, the sailors were victorious for the Ming army. But so what? ”

"So what?" Zong Yicheng listened, and repeated with a little suspicion.

"yes, so what!" The man continued, "The situation in the Korean War is of great importance to the Japanese state. The general will not give up. Therefore, follow-up reinforcements will definitely come. Moreover, the villain concluded that once he came, he must be sure that he could defeat the Ming Navy Division, and then respond to the strength of the Korean Japanese army. Otherwise, if the lord sends a sailor who can't be defeated, then why bother? ”

Hearing this, Zong Yicheng couldn't help but nodded. The strength of the Ming army on this side has already sent someone to report to Edo. After such a long time, I haven't seen more warships of the Ming army, which shows that the strength of the Ming army's naval divisions is still reported to Edo. In this case, the sailor sent by the general will definitely be able to win the Ming State sailor, and those who are sure will be sent.

Thinking about it according to this line of thought, he suddenly had a bottom in his heart.

And the old entourage continued: "Besides, if the Ming army really has enough strength, why do you have to let the feudal lord do this? It's better not to send people to garrison Tsushima directly, or simply kill Kyushu Island directly. Therefore, the villain speculated that the strength of the Ming army must be insufficient. Back then, the army sent by the Ming State to Korea was only forty or fifty thousand in total, and at most, it was almost 70,000. Now this time, how many can come? ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, he analyzed confidently: "Although there are many people in the Ming Kingdom, it is too far away from here, so it is not that the Ming Kingdom does not want to send more troops over, but he can't afford to send so many troops. However, the Wa side is different, compared to the Ming side, it is much closer, and the burden of logistics and supply is naturally smaller. If the general goes mad, 200,000 troops can be sent. ”

At this point, the meaning of this man's words is very clear.

If the war between the Ming and the Japanese continues, the ultimate winner will inevitably be the Japanese state, and the decisive factor is the problem of logistics and supply.

In this regard, Zong Yicheng's face finally showed a smile and praised: "Sure enough, ginger is old and spicy, not bad, not bad!" With that, everything is clear! ”

Seriously, there was a time before when he was really scared by the Ming army. But at this time, he was really carefree. The country of Tsushima is too small, and it can only hold the thighs of the strong, and this strong man can only be the country of Wa!

Thinking so, he immediately began to give orders, asking his subordinates to do what the Ming army told first, and then provide false news to the Ming army when the army of the Japanese Navy arrived, so that he would have some credit for destroying the Ming army. On the general's side, you can also please yourself!

…………

On the Busan side, the captured Japanese were doing hard labor and rebuilding the port of Busan for military use.

Lookout posts have also been set up on nearby mountains, including on the outlying islands such as Geoje Island, forming a complete set of early warning mechanisms. As for the early warning of Tsushima, in fact, it is only the outermost link, and whether there is it or not, it will not affect the entire early warning mechanism.

For Zheng Zhilong, he often sneaks up on others, so naturally he also has to prevent being attacked by others. It is precisely for this reason that in addition to establishing his own set of early warning mechanisms, he also sent people to pass on orders, and by the way, he let Tsushima Island's Zong Yoshinari give an order.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Zong Yicheng took himself too seriously, thinking that he was an important part of the Ming army's early warning mechanism, and was already thinking about the ghost idea of pit the Ming army to curry favor with Tokugawa Iemitsu.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong, on the mountainside where Inoue Shigemasa committed suicide, looked down on the construction of the port, and at the same time looked at the sea and the direction of the Japanese country.

For the Japanese state, Zheng Zhilong can be said to be a Ming man who is familiar with Japanese affairs. After all, in the past, he had been settling in the Wa Kingdom, and he also married a wife and had a son.

He knew how strong the overall strength of the Wa Kingdom was. Although the Korean side defeated the Japanese army, the Japanese still had the strength to fight. It is definitely not something that he Zheng Zhilong can conquer with more than 10,000 sailors, and Li Dingguo and Lu Da with more than 10,000 cavalry.

Before being able to win the Japanese country, it was the victory that came in the surprise attack on it. But now, this advantage is gone. On the contrary, on the side of the Wa Kingdom, it is still unknown how many troops will come, who will lead the army, and when they will arrive. Relatively speaking, it is that the Japanese country is in the dark, and its own side is clear. I'm afraid the next war will be difficult to fight!

However, it is not without hole cards on his side, although the war is not easy to play, but he is not afraid to play. If the Japanese sailor is coming, he will come!

In addition, Zheng Zhilong also had an unexpected thing, that is, the more than 10,000 cavalry troops of Li Dingguo and Lu Da actually wiped out the Japanese army in Korea. It is estimated that in less than a month, the remnants of the Japanese army scattered in the mountains and forests will be cleared out.

Thinking of this, he was a little relieved. Now that his sailors have North Korea to rely on, he no longer has to worry about being surrounded on the island by the superior Japanese sailors, which can be regarded as an increase in his chances of winning and giving him more confidence.

"Ah, it would be nice if I knew the strength of the Japanese Naval Division!" Zheng Zhilong thought about all this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said.

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a ship coming in the distance, with the flag of Daming, but it was not Daming's ship. This surprised him a little, and he immediately picked up the binoculars and looked at them.

It was a little far away at first, and I couldn't see the people standing on the deck clearly. However, Zheng Zhilong felt a little familiar, so he fixed his eyes and looked at it for a while, and suddenly he was overjoyed, and hurriedly put down the binoculars and said, "Let's go, go down to meet my fifth child!" ”

To be honest, he has always been a little worried about Zheng Zhibao's safety. Although the emperor had already reminded him, he also sent someone to inform Zheng Zhilong to evacuate as soon as possible, but he didn't see anyone, so he was worried after all. At this time, when I saw it, I was naturally happy when I was relieved.

By the time he went down to the dock, Zheng Zhibao's ship had already been "escorted" into the harbor by two sailor warships, one left and one right.

"Big brother, I'm back!" Zheng Zhibao looked at the busy scene in front of him, looked at the figures in red military uniforms everywhere, and rushed to a very cordial moment, and suddenly saw the eldest brother who had not been seen for a long time, striding towards the dock surrounded by a group of generals, and hurriedly waved excitedly.

However, Zheng Zhilong was obviously older, although he was happy, he did not lose his temper, standing on the dock and watching his fifth brother jump off the boat and hurry over.

I can see that there is no missing arm or leg, and I am back with all my beard and tail!

Zheng Zhibao walked quickly in front of the eldest brother, only then did he suddenly remember something, immediately made a serious face, stood still, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Jinyi Wei Baihu has seen the handsome, and there is a report on the military situation of the Japanese State!" ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect the fifth brother to be so serious.

However, he knew his younger brother, and immediately understood that it should be the fifth brother who felt that the emperor was still worried about his safety, so he put the emperor's order first.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong was also grateful, so he also straightened his face and said, "Please speak!" ”

Although he is a handsome, there is only a hundred households on the other side, but this hundred households are a hundred households in Jinyiwei, which is not under the control of him, but directly under the emperor, so aside from the relationship between his brothers, he also has to treat the hundred households in front of him politely.
