Because the Ming fleet blocked the entire sea area around the Korean Strait, any ships were captured. Therefore, the people of Tsushima have not yet received the news of the collapse of the Japanese group.

When the sun lit up the sky through the sea on the fifth day of December, the people of Tsushima Island who woke up from their sleep immediately found that around the island, it was the majestic and majestic Great Ming Marine.

The flat-bottomed sand boat converted landing ship immediately carried Hayada Saemon and more than 1,000 Japanese guards, as well as more than 10,000 naval divisions and guards, to form a joint assault battalion.

This was originally Hayada Saemon's lair, and of course he knew the distribution of power on the island. As soon as possible, he led people to rush to the main house of the Ozakiura family of the Zong family.

Because as long as he kills the main members of the Zong family, the people on the island will be dissipated, and he can quickly control the situation on the entire island.

The rule of Tsushima originated in the Ritsuryo period, and Tsushima was under the jurisdiction of Dazaifu. Dazaifu appointed the government officials to rule Tsushima during the reign of Abidyu, who had long been the de facto controllers of Tsushima.

Because Abidyu often disobeyed the power of Dazaifu when he was in the country, Dazaifu ordered the head of the land to attack Abidyu Shigesho, so Shigesho became the founder of the Tsushima family.

Since the Heian period, the clan has ruled the island for nearly three hundred years, originating from a branch of the Dazaifu fourth-class official Yuizune clan.

The current head of the family, Sosada Shigeru, is now old, and the heir, Sosada Mori, is cowardly, and the actual control of the island is in the hands of Hayada Saemon.

But after all, the name is not right, whether it is trade with North Korea or submission to Dongying, the two countries still only recognize the Zong family.

Although Hayada Saemon controlled real power, he was excluded from the entire political circle.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has decided to attack Tsushima Island, Hayada Saemon has no scruples and decides to kill the members of the Hikarsu clan and the samurai who obey them first.

As long as the Ming Dynasty acknowledges him, he will be able to control the entire Tsushima Island.

He didn't know that Zhu Zhanji had already made up his mind that he would not let these important but sparsely populated areas get out of the control of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, Tsushima Island is destined to be directly controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

Sixty-year-old Zong Jungshigeru, who has been closely following the situation on Jeju Island in recent days, already knows that Hayada Saemon has plundered North Korea, and he has some worries about North Korea.

But now the Japanese are so powerful that they can't get rid of it. The strength of the Zong family is limited, and at present, it can only fight with the widows.

This time, he was going to have people bring gifts to North Korea, hoping to defuse North Korea's hostility towards Tsushima.

As a force between the two countries, the Zong family has become accustomed to mediating between the major forces.

Early in the morning, he had already woken up, but he didn't get up, and kept lying in bed thinking about the New Year's arrangements.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion outside. Before he could react, his nephew, Zong Zhenliang, who was also the leader of his personal guard, suddenly slammed open the door and rushed in. "Head of the house, let's go, Hayada Saemon is reversed."

"Reverse? What's the other way around? ”

Zong Zhenliang didn't even have time to explain, and rudely lifted Zong Zhenmao's quilt, revealing Zong Zhenmao's thin body and the concubine's delicate body.

Another large group of people rushed in, all members of the Zongzhen family, all with panicked faces.

No one's eyes glanced at the little concubine, and some of them were timid, and they were even crying.

Such a humiliation made Zong Zhenmao very angry, he jumped up from the bed, waved his hand and gave Zong Zhenliang a big mouth. "Bastard, who are you so daring!"

Sosada, who has always been honest, shouted: "Father, the situation is urgent, and the army led by Hayada Saemon has already attacked. ”

At this time, Zong Zhenmao finally reacted and quickly put on his clothes. "How could Hayata-kun be opposed?"

"It's the fleet of the Great Ming, father, the fleet of the Great Ming has surrounded the entire island of Tsushima! Hayada Saemon led countless Ming soldiers and has already killed the island! Let's run......"

"Withdraw, run back to the mountain, Zhilang, you take your brothers and sisters and run quickly."

Sosada Shigeru is well aware of Hayada Saemon's strength, such a person who knows everything about himself has now become an enemy, and they can only avoid the edge for the time being.

What's more, behind them, there is an even stronger Daming Water Master.

"Father, what about you?"

Zong Zhenmao smiled bitterly and said, "If I'm not here, who can resist the attack of Hayada Saemon?" How can I buy you time? Come on! ”

The sound of fighting outside the house was getting closer and closer, and Zong Zhenmao shouted: "You guys go quickly, I'm going to see the situation......"

Having lived most of his life, Zong Zhenmao is not afraid of death. He was just curious, why did Hayada Saemon dare to rebel as a Japanese coward!

Without the buffer of the Zong family, no matter how big his power swelled, it was just a fire cooking oil, just for a while.

Neither Joseon nor Dongying would recognize a single Japanese force, so why would the Ming Dynasty prefer to support Hayada Saemon rather than the Zong family?

He hoped to meet the general of the Ming Dynasty so that he could negotiate the other party's retreat.

There are only more than 10,000 people in Tsushima Island, and the family strength of the Zong family does not exceed 5,000 people, not to mention that compared with the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty, it is North Korea and Dongying, they are both behemoths.

A large number of women and children fled in a hurry to the back mountain, and even the young girl who had been sleeping beside him just now ran out in disheveled clothes.

Zong Zhenmao tidied up the clothes on his body, picked up the long knife he hadn't used for a long time from the bedside, and walked out.

His residence was originally in the backyard, but by this time, the enemy had already invaded the backyard, and although the few family warriors were resisting the enemy, they did not have the slightest morale.

Until a few days ago, these warriors had been close friends, and many of them had been drinking together. But today, they have become enemies, and one by one they are eager to eat them alive.

It's not that they don't understand that the world is changing fast.

Sosada Shigeru recognized a samurai named Tsuyoshi Asada, who was also one of Hayata's most loyal fans. Zong Zhenmao shouted: "Stop, Asada-kun, why is this so? ”

A trace of unbearability flashed in Tsuyoshi Aada's eyes, and he still clearly remembered that last year, he almost died of a serious illness, and it was the doctor of the Zongsadamao faction who saved him.

He put away his sword and said solemnly: "Lord, I'm sorry! Seeing him stop, the movements of the others also stopped, and the atmosphere in the courtyard froze.

Zong Zhenmao shouted: "Why is this so? Why draw your sword! If Hayata-kun really wants an old head, as long as he can spare the others, I'll give it to him! ”

Tsuyoshi Asada clenched his fists and said, "Master of the family, the holy will is difficult to violate. Today you will either die or I will die. We are also forced to be helpless! ”

At this time, there was a sudden burst of fierce gunfire outside, and a trace of pain flashed on Asada Tsuyoshi's face, and he said, "Dajun, if you die, maybe we can kill a little less." ”

"Why is that?"

A familiar voice came over and said loudly, "Maharaja, let me tell you!" ”

The two sides of the battle saw Hayada Saemon enter the courtyard, and behind him, there was a group of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, each of whom was a head taller than ordinary Japanese soldiers.

And in their hands, they were all holding muskets with rods, and in groups of six, they formed different small phalanxes.

Hayada Saemon's heart was also uncomfortable, for most of his life, it was this old man who gave him the most stable life.

He never thought of opposing the Zong family, even if he now controlled most of the forces on the island, but for the Zong family, he never had two thoughts.

This is not because of his gratitude, but because both Joseon and Dongying only recognize the Zong family. He also needed an umbrella to protect them from the elements.

He bowed deeply to Zong Zhenmao, straightened up and said, "Dajun, we're all finished. The Ming Dynasty dispatched nearly 600 huge ships to surround Jeju Island and capture us all. Now, too, the Great Army has surrounded Tsushima. ”

Zong Zhenmao's eyes widened and said, "Since you can all survive, why can't you introduce my Zong family to the generals of the Ming Dynasty?" Don't they need the potency of the Zong family? ”

Hayada Saemon shook his head and said, "Only with the complete destruction of the Zong family, Daming can rightfully accept this island." So, Maharaja, everyone else may still live, but you ......"

Zong Sadashige's heart suddenly became cold, and he had already heard the meaning of Hayada Saemon's words. It also dashed his last hopes.

If the Ming really had the intention of occupying Tsushima Island, it was true that the members of their clan family would have to perish.

He muttered, "How many people are there in Daming?" ”

He only hoped that there would be fewer soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, so that his juniors who had escaped might still be able to escape.

But Hayada Saemon's words made him completely desperate. "It's an army of 100,000!"

There were less than 15,000 people in the entire Tsushima Island, including the old and young women and children, and these 100,000 troops were not at all something they could resist.

He bowed deeply to Hayatazaemon and said, "Hayata-kun, for the sake of our past affection, please take me to meet the general of the Ming army!" ”

Hayada Saemon nodded heavily and said, "I can only introduce you to Lord Zhuangjing, the commander of the Kinyi Guard, and the commander of the Second Fleet, General Yishin. However, Maharaja, the commander of the fleet this time is His Royal Highness the Taisun of the Ming Dynasty, and even I have no chance to see him. ”

"It turned out to be the grandson of the Ming Dynasty who came to ......" Zong Zhenmao couldn't help but mutter: "Could it be that this is a decision made by the Ming Emperor?" Could it be that the heavens are going to kill my clan family! ”

Although Zong Zhenmao has been captured, the fight is not over. Or it would be more appropriate to slaughter, the early morning attack left countless people harvested their lives while still asleep.

Seeing a person being carried out of one house after another by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and those Japanese robbers, Zong Zhenmao's heart was full of despair.

Even if he can leave a life, the Zong family will be finished.

Although he was lucky, in fact, the fate of their family had been decided from the beginning.

If the people of the Zong family do not die, as long as they leave their blood, then the rule of the Ming Dynasty over Tsushima Island is not legitimate.

If the Ming Dynasty wants North Korea and Dongying to occupy Tsushima Island, they can't find the slightest problem, so they must solve all the troubles.

There are things that can be done and cannot be said, and there are things that can only be said and not done.

No matter how strong the Ming is, there are some rules that must be followed in order to convince the surrounding small countries.

Therefore, when Zong Zhenmao was taken to Yi Xin's car, Yi Xin, who already knew Zhu Zhanji's plan, did not take Zong Zhenmao's request, and did not even give him the opportunity to meet Zhu Zhanji at all.

"Your Excellency, the two countries are at war and have no personal feelings. From the moment Tsushima Island became a base for the Japanese invaders, their fate was already sealed. So, it's up to me to send the Maharaja on his way! ”

"No...... If so, please give me the choice of my own way of death! Let me die like a samurai one by one. ”

Yixin understood the spirit of the Toei samurai of this era, and since the Heian period, they regarded disembowelment as the most honorable way to die.

Since Zong Zhenmao decided to commit suicide, then he doesn't have to be this bad guy anymore.

However, he did not agree to Zong Zhenmao's request to commit suicide publicly, because he was afraid that the public caesarean section would trigger a revolt among the people on the island or follow the tide of death.

Although the soldiers are now slaughtering on a large scale, most of the people killed are old people and men, and almost all women, except for the elderly, will have a life left behind and are ready to be sold to Daming.

In the main mansion of the Zong clan, there is now blood everywhere here, and countless headless corpses are everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Zong Zhenmao's face was calm, because this was already the worst outcome.

Hayada Saemon looked at him with a sad look that was more than a dead heart, and his heart was also full of affection. He stayed by Zong Zhenmao's side and personally handed over the short knife that Zong Zhenmao was going to use to commit suicide.

Taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not paying attention, he said softly: "The Great King will go first, if there is a chance, I will definitely kill the grandson of the Ming Dynasty and be martyred for you." ”

Zong Zhenmao nodded and sighed softly. "I'll go first!"

Unbuttoned his clothes, Zong Zhenmao revealed his thin body. He closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, and suddenly sang a Kansai minor tune in a hoarse voice.

Although he sang unpleasantly, Hayada Saemon was moved to tears. This is a minor tune of the Kansai people's opposition to the oppression of Kyoto, and it completely inspired him to resist the invaders.

After singing a minor tune, he held a knife in his backhand and slashed quickly from top to bottom along the lower edge of his ribs.

Blood splattered out, but Zong Zhenmao didn't seem to feel the pain, and he stabbed again, from left to right, cutting a cross in the abdomen.

Unfortunately, he was too old to pick up the internal organs that flowed from his abdomen with a knife, and he fell to the ground and died.

Hayada Saemon said silently with tears in his eyes: "I will avenge you!" ”

(I'm sorry everyone, it's been a little delayed in the past few days, and there may be a day or two before it can be resolved, and I'll make up for it at that time.) ）()
