Winter has turned to spring, and the typhoon season in the East China Sea and the Sea of Japan has finally passed. During the second period, the Japanese crusading army of the Ming Dynasty was also assembled in Shandong, Liaodong and Korea. In addition to the Ming army, which was the main force, there were also 20,000 Korean servants who participated in the crusade against Japan.

During the Wanli period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked Korea twice, and the Korean War lasted seven years. It can be said that the Korean nation has been deeply damaged, and it is not too much to use the lives of others. According to rough statistics, more than 2 million North Koreans have died in the war in the past seven years, equivalent to 20 percent of the country's total population. Moreover, the DPRK originally had about 3 million mu of state-owned cultivated farmland, but later it was drastically reduced to less than 1 million mu, and I don't know how many people died of starvation during this period. And that's not even counting the fact that in the years of war, as many as 100,000 Koreans were captured in Japan. Most of them were tortured to death, and many were even sold to the colonies of Portugal, Spain and other countries in the South Seas, and did not return to their homeland after death. In addition, during the war, the Japanese army raped and humiliated countless Korean women, cut off the noses of hundreds of thousands of Koreans, and brought them back to Japan as war trophies.

Although the current king of the Yi Dynasty of Korea, King Hyojong Chungseon, Li Shu, did not experience that war, but he also heard about it since he was a child. In addition, he was a hostage in the Jiannu court in his early years, and his anger towards Jiannu was nowhere to be vented, and now he can only transfer this anger to the Japanese Kou. So Li Shu said to the Ming Dynasty: The Japanese people have come to the Kou. The crimes committed in the small state are too numerous to mention, and all the people of North Korea hate them to the core. The DPRK is willing to send 20,000 troops to help the Celestial Empire attack the Japanese and raise the prestige of the Celestial Empire.

The whole of Korea cheered and actively prepared for the attack on the Japanese mainland. However, there were some conservative officials within the Ming Dynasty who expressed opposition, believing that the Ming Dynasty had just undergone a large-scale change, and Song Youliang had repeatedly used troops against Nanyang and Mongolia before, and the people were tired of war. Moreover, the lessons of Mengyuan are in front of him, and Emperor Taizu also listed Japan as a country not to be conquered. Song Youliang did this, I am afraid that he will make people angry.

However, the Ming newspapers "Huaxia News" and "Qilu Daily" have long been in full swing to publicize the public opinion of attacking Japan. Merchants hoped that the Ming Dynasty would get gold and silver from the Wa Kingdom after attacking the Wa Kingdom, the young Zhuang officers hoped to build up their military exploits, the brothel owners hoped to get more Japanese supplements to attract customers, and even some old bachelors hoped that the officers and soldiers would kill more Japanese men so that they could go to the Wa Kingdom to cultivate for the women there, and so on. In short, the voices in favor of the attack on Japan prevailed in the end

With such a momentum, where would the Tokugawa shogunate not know? As a result, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun, convened an emergency meeting in Edo. In the end, the result of the discussion was that as long as the shogunate held out until the summer, the kamikaze that destroyed the Motoko back then would once again bless Japan. Tang Kou, who came this time, will be the same, buried at the bottom of the sea

As a result, Tokugawa Iemitsu ordered the feudal domains of Kyushu and China to immediately rearm and war, and report the situation on the sea to Sakai Tadakatsu, the old man sent to Osaka by the shogunate, at any time

For a time, more than 60 feudal domains in Kyushu and China were busy together, among which Shimazu Mitsuhisa of the Satsuma domain also recruited troops and reorganized their armies, however, his purpose in doing so was not to resist the Ming army, but to welcome the arrival of the Ming army.

In the fourth year of Daming Hongde, on the twenty-fifth day of the first month of 1646 AD. At this time, it is the bitter cold of North Korea's wind and snow, and the cold of midwinter has not completely passed. The snow melt everywhere makes the roads muddy and difficult to walk. However, at this time, in the Busan port area of North Korea, there is a dense flow of people everywhere, and a busy scene is in full swing. The Ming officers and soldiers in leather armor and iron armor, and the Koreans in white clothes and bloomers, each of them came and went, and they were busy all the time.

Busan Port is the place chosen by Song Youliang, after countless people have been busy day and night, and now Busan Port and the sea outside have been densely packed with nearly 1,000 ships of all sizes. Hundreds of warships of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea were parked on the island, and those troop carriers were parked in the port of Busan.

The conquest of Japan is a huge systematic project, and in order to transport tens of thousands of people safely to Japanese soil, at least 1,000 warships are needed. In order to collect these warships, not to mention North Korea. It is the civilian ships of Shandong, Liaodong and other places in the Ming Dynasty, all of which are all sold out. And the relevant material transportation, without one or two thousand, can not come.

At this time, Daming showed his huge comprehensive national strength. In the past few months since October, because the soldiers of the Korean Crusade were in urgent need of food and wages, they urgently transported 24 stone of grain from Tianjin, Shandong and Liaodong to North Korea, most of which were transported by water from Tianjin, Shandong, and there was a steady stream of grain and grass by sea. At the same time, under the leadership of Zheng Zhilong, the newly established Nanyang Chinese Entrepreneurs Association also organized hundreds of large and small ships to transport grain, grass, materials and soldiers for the Ming army.

These grains and grasses effectively guaranteed the success of Song Youliang's plan to conquer Japan in the future, but in order to move and unload these grains and grasses, Song Youliang ordered Li Shu of the Joseon State to mobilize the people of the southern provinces of Korea, and used 40,000 people as porters. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were used to fight in battle, not to be porters or coolies. However, the Ming army provided enough food for the Korean people to eat their stomachs, and each person was paid three cents a day, so the local Korean people rushed to work. Daming's coins are now the hard currency of the decision, and the sanwen is a very objective income in the eyes of the local North Koreans

At this time, Secretary Zhou Guoqing found Song Youliang to complain and said: "Grandpa, the soldiers are eager to fight, and they have asked Grandpa to go to the Japanese country as soon as possible!" ”

Song Youliang smiled: "Don't come to this set, do you think I don't know?" You have been in North Korea since October last year, and you have been staying for several months, and during this time, you are tired of playing with North Korean women, and you are anxious to cross the sea to play with Japanese women, right? ”

"Uh" Zhou Guoqing was suddenly shocked by Song You's thoughts, and suddenly felt embarrassed, "I really can't hide anything from you, Grandpa!" ”

Song Youliang scolded with a smile: "Don't think about playing with women all day long, the Japanese people are not soft persimmons, you must be mentally prepared to fight a tough battle." Only when you win a battle can you have the life to play with women, don't you? ”

"Grandpa taught me a lesson, I'll go back and teach that thief a lesson!" Zhou Guoqing quickly escaped

As soon as the big tent came out, a group of young military attachés surrounded him and asked, "How is it, how is it, when are we going to fight?" ”

Zhou Guoqing's face was blank, and he said in a fierce voice: "You thieves, don't think about playing with women all day long, the Japanese people are not soft persimmons, you must be mentally prepared to fight a tough battle." Only if you win the battle, you will have the life to play with women, otherwise be careful that the following things will be cut by the Japanese people! ”

The young military attache was bored with himself, so he could only go back in disgrace

The Ming army gathered in Busan, and the first to feel the pressure was the lord of the Tsushima domain, Zong Yoshisei. The land of Tsushima is barren and uncultivateable, and it can be said that there is practically no stone height except for the enclaves of Hizen Province. However, the Tsushima clan owned a Wakan in the metropolitan city of Busan, North Korea, and its economic income can be said to be completely dependent on trade with North Korea, and in fact it also earned quite a lot.

The Tsushima clan played a disgraceful role in all the invasions of Korea. On the one hand, the Zong clan continued to send envoys to Korea to curry favor with Korea in order to maintain trade, and on the other hand, in order to cooperate with the Japanese invasion of Korea, they continued to send spies to Korea to spy on intelligence. The Seven Years' War almost completely destroyed the economy of Tsushima, which had little arable land and relied on trade with the Korean Peninsula, which was naturally interrupted during the war.

It was not until the DPRK and Japan finally signed the "Jiyou Agreement" in 16o9 that Japan was allowed to reopen the Wakan (trading organization) in Domopo, Busan, and Japan-Korea trade was restored. Tokugawa Ieyasu was awarded the title of 100,000 koku daimyo of the Tsushima clan (the actual output of the territory was less than 10,000 koku) for his contribution to the restoration of diplomatic relations between Asahi and Japan. Thanks to the efforts of the two generations of feudal lords, Jong Yoshichi and Jong Yoshisung, there are signs of recovery, and this sign is largely driven by the increasing activity of Joseon's trade with Japan. However, the newly revived island of Tsushima is about to suffer its greatest difficulties in three decades

Tsushima was the bridgehead of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea that year, and if the Ming Dynasty led the Korean coalition to attack Japan, then Tsushima would definitely be one of them. Therefore, Mizoguchi Masasaburo, a henchman sent by Zong Yicheng, came to find out the truth of the Ming army, and Mizoguchi Masasaburo was escorted by a team of Ming troops and went ashore with a few retinues. The situation in front of him made Mizoguchi Shozaburo already tremble. Song Youliang did not shy away from watching these Japanese watch the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, with the strength of the skill, the thunder strike, the upright teacher, no matter how much the other party snooped, it was useless, but it could give them more psychological deterrence.

Song Youliang didn't give Mizoguchi Shozaburo too many opportunities to speak, but said in an unquestionable tone: "The lord of the Tsushima domain must immediately surrender to the Ming army, otherwise Tsushima Island will become a deserted island with no people, and only seabirds will on it in the future." ”

Mizoguchi Shozaburo was sweating profusely and said: "After all, the lord of my domain is a subordinate of the Japanese shogunate, and he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

"Sending off!" Song Youliang walked away with his sleeves very arrogantly, while several Ming Dynasty soldiers pushed and shoved Mizoguchi Shozaburo out

On the 30th day of the first month of the fourth year of Daming Hongde, 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Daming Navy and 20,000 Korean Navy and Army, a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, came out of Busan, North Korea, and pounced on Tsushima Island with the momentum of thunder

Tsushima Domain's lord Zong Yoshicheng dared to resist, and immediately surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Then, Song Youliang assigned him an errand that Zong Yoshicheng was extremely reluctant to do, asking him to submit his credentials to the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, and the Ming Dynasty demanded that Japan cede Tsushima and Kyushu, and open the entire territory of Japan to the Ming and its vassal states, and allow the merchants of the Ming and its vassal states to open merchant houses and workshops in Japan.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was furious, and immediately issued a crusade order from the shogun, ordering a nationwide mobilization to fight to the death against the invading "Tang Kou". At the same time, the Tsushima domain was removed and the feudal lord of Zong Yoshinari was deprived, and the old middle Sakai Tadakatsu tried to persuade him to no avail. The consequences of Tokugawa Iemitsu's impulsiveness directly pushed the Tsushima clan into the arms of the Ming Dynasty.
