[262] Attack on the Tokugawa shogunate 2

[262] Attack on the Tokugawa shogunate 2

On the twenty-ninth day of the first month of the fourth year of Daming Hongde, on the sea off Tsushima Island, there were densely guarded warships in front and back, and Song Youliang stood on the bow of the Dingyuan battleship and looked out into the distance. I saw the sea and the sky being the same, cloudless, and the blue sea surging wave after wave, not far from the front, was the long and narrow figure of Tsushima Island from north to south.

At present, the weather is still cold and biting, the sea breeze blows the red velvet on Song Youliang's body, and the big rain hunts and hunts, Song Youliang stands quietly, just silently pondering. Song Youliang's plan was to foster proxy forces in Japan and return Japan to the Warring States period. In other respects, if the persecution is too tight and arouses the hatred of the whole country in Japan, it is not good.

Soon, the fleet landed at the port of Oura on Tsushima Island, not to mention the Ming army on the island lined up to welcome Lord Ankoku, that is, the governor of Tsushima Island, Zong Yoshisei, who had already led the whole clan and all the residents of the island to greet each other on both sides of the dock. Tsushima is composed of five islands in the Korean Strait between Japan and Korea, with a land area of about 700 square kilometers.

However, at present, the head of the Tsushima clan Zong Yicheng has officially returned to the Ming Dynasty, so this place has long become the garrison of the Ming Dynasty's army. At this moment, the military camps on Tsushima Island are densely packed, and the sea of colorful flags is boundless. This island is big enough, wide enough, there is no problem to accommodate tens of thousands of troops, and Dapu Port is also a good port, it is also very convenient to transport materials from Daming and North Korea here, and the scenery here is pleasant, there are many pastures, and horses can also be raised.

Seeing Song Youliang landing surrounded by a team of people and horses, the island owner Zong Yicheng immediately pounced, subdued at Song Youliang's feet, and kowtowed in Chinese in a trembling voice: "The villain Tsushima Island Governor Zong Yicheng has seen the Lord of the Kingdom!" ”

Zong Jiajiu has been with North Korea for a long time, and he often used to do business with smugglers in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the clansmen are proficient in Korean and Chinese.

Song Youliang rode on the tall European Spanish war horse given to him by Donat, and looked at him with a condescending gaze, this Zong Yi is middle-aged, about forty years old, (Zong Yicheng should be forty-three years old at this time), at this moment Song Youliang said with a smile: "Zongxiang, you get up, you can abandon the darkness and serve the Celestial Empire, I will not forget your credit!" Don't worry, even though you won't live in Tsushima Island in the future, I'll reopen the domain for you in a place where the fields are more fertile. ”

Zong Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief, with Song Youliang's words, then he was relieved, Tsushima Island could not be saved, but his Zong clan had been running Tsushima for many years and had accumulated a lot of wealth, with this money, it would be no problem to live a rich life in the future.

Soon, everyone entered Yanyuan City, and the defenders here had been replaced by the Ming army. Although Yan Yuan is the center of gravity of Tsushima Island, it is only a small town in Daming, and the population of Inner Middle Land is only a few thousand. That night, Zong Yicheng accompanied some cronies and retainers to hold a dinner party to entertain the coming Lord of Shangguo.

Naturally, singing and dancing are indispensable for a banquet, but those Japanese women, wearing kimonos with baby bags on their backs, holding small fans in their hands, smeared with thick white powder on their faces, black teeth, and a flattering eye thrown over, made Song Youliang get goosebumps all over his body. Only Zhou Guoqing, Liu Tichun, Tian Jianxiu and others, who had never seen a Japanese woman, were very curious, and Lin Qingye, the commander of the North Korean army, and others also looked at it with a smile.

After the dinner, it is natural that Japanese women will be indispensable to sleep, and Song Youliang will take special care to send one more to Zhou Guoqing. From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, Japanese men went to China, or met Han people from the Central Plains to Japan, they would dedicate their wives and daughters to serve, called Du Chong. Song Renzhou once recorded in the "Qingbo Magazine": "A boat of the Wa Kingdom floated on the Song Realm, a line of dozens of people, Japanese women were all sent, met Zhongzhou people, and selected the beautiful one to recommend the bed, named the degree of species." ”

This custom was passed from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and both the Chinese and the Japanese at that time were accustomed to it, that is, the Ming army was stationed on Tsushima Island at present, and many Japanese residents on the island gave their wives and sons one after another, every night, hoping to give birth to a strong and tall descendant in the future. Although the height of the Japanese in later generations has been raised, although it is due to the contribution of the generation of milk and strength, the contribution of the soldiers of the Ming army to their wives and daughters is also indelible.

Zong Yicheng's youngest daughter, Dieji, who was given to Song Youliang to sleep, is sixteen years old, born small and exquisite, with fair and tender skin, and a height of only more than one meter and four points, which makes Song Youliang feel guilty about playing with underage girls. However, this woman's skills made Song Youliang quickly erase his guilt. This night, the exotic ** and exotic moans made Song Youliang full of nature, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and he scored five times.

Early the next morning, with the support of the maid, Dieji staggered and left Song Youliang's room with difficulty. Then Zheng Sen entered the house and reported the military situation to Song Youliang. Although his father Zheng Zhilong served as the president of the Nanyang Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, Zheng Sen still served in the army, and now all the sailors that originally belonged to the Zheng family are under his command

After Zheng Sen reported the number of ships, supplies, and soldiers that had arrived, Song Youliang asked, "General Zheng, I heard that your mother is Japanese and you were also born in Japan, so do you know Japanese?" ”

"Understand!" Zheng Sen nodded

So what does this mean in Japanese? まちがったどうけつ" Song Youliang repeated the short sentence that Dieji said the most last night

"Back to Grandpa, it means 'wrong cave'!" Zheng Sen was very strange why Song Youliang would ask such an inexplicable sentence

"Uh~~~" Song Youliang was embarrassed, "It's okay, you go down and get busy!" But he replied as if nothing had happened

"That Weichen retired~!"

As soon as Zheng Sen left, Zong Yicheng came to see him again, "Lord Guogong, how was you resting last night?" ”

"Good, good!" Song Youliang said three good words in a row

"The ministers have something to ask for, I hope that the prince can fulfill it!" Zong Yicheng said

"What's the matter, it's okay for you to talk about it!" Song Youliang said

"Yesterday, the Kokuko said that he would change the clan to the clan, but the clan and the retainers have lived on Tsushima Island for generations and have taken root here, and no one is willing to go anywhere else, so the ministers implore the kokugong to be gracious!" Zong Yicheng was flat in front of Song Youliang, his head so low that he could touch the tatami mats

"This~~" To be honest, Song Youliang felt quite ashamed at the moment, people kindly sent a daughter to his bed to borrow seeds, but he was so good that he bombarded his daughter's chrysanthemum all night. Instead of complaining, Dieji also worked hard to make herself score five times, and now her father begged him in a low voice, if he didn't agree, wouldn't it be a bit too much?

"Okay~" Song Youliang's heart softened, and said: "Zong is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, serve the Heavenly Empire, be loyal and courageous, I am determined to report to the emperor, in the future, Zong Yijun will still be the owner of Tsushima Island, and after the peace between the two countries in the future, you can continue to trade with North Korea and the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zong Yicheng was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed to Song Youliang and said: "Thank you for the love of the prince, the villain is grateful, and he is determined to serve the adult in the future, and he will go to the soup and fire!" ”

"Dieji, she~~" Song Youliang remembered that when Dieji left, she even felt pain in her legs

"Is Lady Diehime still satisfied?" Zong Yicheng didn't know the truth, he said flatteringly: "Do you want Dieji to sleep tonight?" ”

"It's not~"

"Oh? Adults think it's not good for Dieji to sleep? I also have three daughters, and I let them take turns sleeping for the adults, and there's always one for you! ”

“…………”

Tokugawa Iemitsu's comprehension is sometimes as slow as a stupid cow, and sometimes as fast as a flint. After receiving the news of Zong Yoshisei's surrender to the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately issued a mobilization order, calling on the daimyo families across the country to gather all their retainers, take out all their weapons, and fight to the death in order to defend Japan.

In contrast, Song Youliang threw a big bait to the daimyo in Japan, telling the samurai and feudal lords that the daimyo who participated in the overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate could be crowned, and the meritorious feudal lords had the opportunity to become daimyos; To the merchants, they could freely trade with the Ming Dynasty, Korea, Portugal, and the Nanyang countries; For ordinary people, they have the opportunity to work in the workshops opened by Ming merchants, and even have the opportunity to move to Daming and become the people of Daming.

At this moment, Zheng Sen is looking at the Kaimondake volcano off Nagasaki, the southernmost tip of the Satsuma Peninsula, and the 922-meter-high Kaimondake Mountain is also famous in Japan for the name of the Satsuma Fuji mountain, and is the symbol of the southern tip of the Satsuma Peninsula. Located in the southwestern corner of the Satsuma Peninsula, there are no other mountains around, so you can see its majestic self-contained majesty from any vantage point. It is said that from the top of the mountain, you can see Cape Sada to the east, and on a clear day, you can see Tanegashima Island, Yakushima Island, and the smoky Iwo Jima.

"Zheng Jun! I haven't seen you for years, but how is your father doing? Shimazu Mitsuhisa was wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand, standing side by side with Zheng Zhilong.

"Thank you for your concern, my father is in good health!" Zheng Sen smiled: "The army has landed in the area of Funai Castle, has the letter issued by the feudal lord announcing the crusade against Tokugawa Iemitsu?" ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa nodded, "It's sent out, but it seems that there are very few people who respond." ”

"Don't be afraid!" Zheng Sen smiled: "When we win a few battles, the feudal lords of various places will change their mentality. ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa smiled: "That is, clinging to the strong is the way to survive!" ”

"I'm going to attack the Higo Domains first, what does the feudal lord think?" Zheng Sen asked with a smile

"Fat queen?" Shimazu Mitsuhisa said with a smile: "Higo has four main feudatories, namely the Hosokawa family of the Kumamoto Nitta Domain, with a stone height of 35,000 stones; The Hosokawa family of the Kumamoto Domain, 540,000 stone high; The Hosokawa family of the Uto Domain, 30,000 stone high; The Sagara family of the Hitoyoshi Domain, the stone is 22,000 stone high. ”

Zheng Sen nodded and said, "It seems that the Hosokawa family is the most powerful." ”

"The Chiyuki of the Kumamoto Domain was originally the domain of Kiyomasa Kato and Yukinaga Konishi. The latter joined the Western Army at the Battle of Sekigahara and was executed by the Tokugawa Army after his defeat, and his territory was assigned to Kato Kiyomasa, becoming a daimyo of 520,000 koku. In the 9th year of Kanei (1632), the second feudal lord Kato Tadahiro was disposed of due to the Tokugawa Tadanaga Incident and assigned to the Hagaoka Domain of Dewa Province, and was governed by the Hosokawa clan until the abolition of the domain. ”

"Okay, let's start with the most powerful Hosokawa family!" Zheng Sen pulled out his saber and pointed in the direction of Edo, "Lord of the Shimazu Domain, do you want the head of Tokugawa Iemitsu?" ”

"Dreamed!" Mitsuhisa Shimazu said with a smile
