Chapter 437: Since the Wako is here, don't go back

If it weren't for the information sent by Ma Yi, Zhang Zhun would have thought that he might have mistaken the Tartars as a widow. However, Ma Yi is very careful and cautious, and he will never go wrong. Since Ma Yi pointed out in the intelligence that it was a Japanese robber, then the one who attacked Da Songwei this time must be the real Japanese robber. Unexpectedly, after traveling through four hundred years of time and space, he actually met the Japanese Kou!

Zhang Zhun didn't know where these would-be robbers came from, how many people there were, and what their backgrounds were. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Ma Yi had not had time to investigate clearly, so there was naturally no statement in the intelligence. However, just because of the two words of the Japanese Invaders, Zhang Zhun gave the order to fight to the death with the Japanese without thinking. No matter when or in what time and space, he is inseparable from the Japanese Bandits!

In fact, the meaning of the word 倭寇 is very general. The earliest time when the Japanese invaders appeared was in the last years of the Song Dynasty. Since the time of the Yuan Dynasty, wandering Japanese samurai have appeared sporadically on the southeast coast. By the time the Ming Dynasty was established, the scourge of the Japanese was already quite common, otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have needed to set up nine guards and eighteen institutes along the coast to specifically guard against the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese in the period of Qi Jiguang can only be said to be the time when the scourge of the Japanese was the most intense. Due to the implementation of the policy of banning the sea, coupled with the guidance of a large number of traitors, the Japanese invaders evolved into such an incentive. After that, the pirates were basically wiped out. The reason why it is said that it is basically that there are still sporadic pirates. In fact, since Qi Jiguang was transferred to the north to guard the border, sporadic pirates still exist, but they can't make too many waves.

During the Wanli period, the Ming army and the Japanese army fought several battles on the land of Korea, and finally the Japanese army was all driven back to the country, and a generation of heroes Toyotomi Hideyoshi also died of depression. After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Japan entered the shogunate period, and the political situation in Japan was relatively stable, and large groups of Japanese pirates rarely appeared. However, this does not mean that the Japanese have completely disappeared.

In fact, the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Chongzhen period was not completely stable, and the power struggle in the country was still very fierce. Tokugawa Ieyasu, the third shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, faced challenges from within and counterattacks from Emperor Mizuo, and his dominance was not particularly consolidated. It is not uncommon for certain daimyo to disobey the Tokugawa family. There are even some daimyo who have lost their power, and from time to time they want to attack the land of the Ming Dynasty. Especially the descendants of the so-called famous Japanese generals who were defeated by the Ming army in Korea have not been very convinced.

According to the historical materials learned by Zhang Zhun in his previous life, in 1603 AD, Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed as the shogun of Seiyi and set up a shogunate in Edo, and by the time of the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogunate was generally complete. The shogunate domain accounted for about a quarter of the country's land, and the rest was held by daimyo (princes) and was called a feudal state. (Note that the shogunate's area of control was only a quarter of the country.) ）

The shogun is the supreme ruler of the country, and he is subordinate to the elders and middle schools, who decide policies, govern government affairs, and are responsible for controlling the imperial court, daimyo and foreign affairs; In addition, there was a Wakanian service, which was responsible for the control of the shogunate's territory and direct retainers, and also set up the temple shrine, Edo town, and Kansada, which were divided into the temple shrine, the treasury, and the Edo municipal government and the shogunate's direct domain. The shogunate set up county or deputy officials in the territories directly under its jurisdiction, and directly controlled the peasants through land surveying, the village annual tribute contract system, and the five-person organization system.

The power of the Tokugawa shogun was stronger than that of the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. The daimyo was the ruler of each feudal state, and he had the direct rule of the people under the clan elders, the year of the year, etc., and had the administrative, judicial, and annual tribute collection rights of the territory. The shogunate set up patrol envoys and inspectors called metsuke to supervise the feudal states, and controlled the daimyo by means of daimyo visits and changes to the daimyō, but the feudal states were still relatively strong. (Note that the vassal states still have a large ** nature.) As a result, a political system was formed in which the feudal states under the control of the Tokugawa shogun were divided and ruled.

With such a political system, it is difficult to avoid the fact that some daimyo will take risks for money, or for other reasons, and want to run to the land of the Ming Dynasty to plunder as they did decades ago. In particular, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's unsuccessful attack on Korea exacerbated the possibility of such a sudden plunder. This is especially true for some of the daimyo in western Japan.

The Japanese have always been very unconvinced of the Chinese, as can be seen from the earliest letters of "the Son of Heaven at sunrise to the Son of Heaven at sunset". Whenever the opportunity arises, the Japanese will attack China. This was true during the Tang Dynasty, and it was also true during the Wanli period. After being beaten and scared, they became obedient again. But it didn't take long for me to think about China's movements again.

The current situation in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese must be a little clearer. This culprit, of course, must be counted on Zheng Zhilong. In fact, Zheng Zhilong's pirate group has a very close relationship with the Japanese. Zheng Zhilong's birthplace is Japan. His first pot of gold was earned by selling weapons to the Japanese. His relationship with the Japanese shogunate, and even many Japanese daimyos, was quite close.

The Japanese must have known about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty from their daily commercial trade. Therefore, some Japanese daimyo who have lost their minds and gone crazy have the mentality of taking a handful and leaving. The distance from western Japan to the coast of China is not long, but it is not short. When the wind is down, it takes three days to arrive. Get on board, sail for three days, reach your destination, loot, return. Hardly a month.

In fact, with the current ability of the Ming Dynasty, even if there are really Japanese robbers ashore and take a handful and leave, the Ming Dynasty has no choice. After all, the Ming Dynasty in the Chongzhen period and the Ming Dynasty in the Wanli period are completely different things. The Tartars in Liaodong and the civil unrest in Shaanxi have already made the imperial court tired and unable to deal with it, not to mention the Japanese who robbed and left.

It is precisely because of this that the defenders of the Ming army of Da Songwei were caught off guard and were easily landed by the Japanese invaders, and the first thing that the local people thought of for help was not the Ming army in Dengzhou Mansion, but Zhang Zhun next to him! Probably they themselves know that the imperial court is unreliable, and it is better to ask Zhang Zhun to come soon.

For the fight against the Japanese invaders, Zhang Zhun is of course duty-bound. After receiving the information, the decision to send troops was made without the slightest hesitation. Therefore, there will be a scene of continuous deployment of troops at the beginning.

"The navy has arrived in the open sea of Da Songwei, pay attention to the situation."

"Since the Japanese are here, don't go back."

Zhang Zhun said to Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu.

His tone is actually very flat, there is no modulation and frustration, but as long as he is a person, he can feel Zhang Zhun's murderous aura in the flat tone. Since you're here, don't go back. With this saying here, if they let go of a widow, they will not be able to complete the task perfectly. Only by exterminating all the Japanese in Da Songwei can it be regarded as true that since you are here, don't go back.

"You lead the navy to combat readiness!"

"Rush to the sea near Da Songwei as soon as possible!"

Zhang Zhun said solemnly to Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu.

"Understood!"

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we are not bad seeds!"

Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu replied awe-inspiringly.

Whoever has the slightest hesitation in fighting against the Japanese is an out-and-out mischaracter.

"Good!"

"I'll go first!"

Zhang Zhun nodded, quickly took a boat back to Lulu Island, turned over his horse, and ran in the direction of Da Songwei.

To rush from the land to Da Songwei, you must pass through the Xiongya Place. Since Zhang Zhun took control of the Xiongya Institute, his right-hand man Yang Zhiyuan has been stationed here. When Zhang Zhun came to the Xiongya Institute, he found that the Biaozi Battalion had already set off. Fighters of the logistics troops, loading ammunition into vehicles. Because Zhang Zhun's order was very urgent, he wanted to force the Biaozi battalion to march and set off. Therefore, Yang Zhiyuan took the soldiers and set off with only two base ammunition.

"Hurry up!"

"We're going to fight the pirates!"

Zhang Zhun shouted to the soldiers of the logistics unit.

"Wolver!"

"What? We're going to fight the pirates? ”

The soldiers of the logistics unit were slightly stunned, and then all of them were enthusiastic.

Oh, my God! It's actually a wolf!

No wonder the soldiers of the Biaozi Battalion set off in a hurry, it turned out that there were Japanese robbers in the direction of Da Songwei! Damn, the Japanese Bandits dare to land near our Tiger Army, it's really impatient! It seems that Qi Dashuai hasn't beaten the Japanese Kou back then!

The soldiers on the front line are fighting the Japanese invaders, how can their movements be slow? Inevitably, everyone hurriedly stepped up and hurriedly followed. In order to speed up the march, the soldiers also sang a loud military song of the Tiger Army.

Zhang Zhun rode his horse and galloped all the way, and soon caught up with the soldiers of the Biaozi Battalion who were marching rapidly. The Biaozi Battalion is the original First Association, and it is the oldest qualified unit of the Tiger Army, and Yang Zhiyuan is also the first veteran member of the Thornfish Squad to follow Zhang Zhun, and the training of the troops has always been very strict. This can be seen from the speed of the rapid march of the Biaozi battalion.

"Drive!"

Zhang Zhun patted the horse's buttocks, quickly caught up with Yang Zhiyuan, and hurried side by side with him.

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!"

Yang Zhiyuan and Zhang Youcai hurriedly stopped their horses and waited for Zhang Zhun to arrive.

Zhang Zhun waved his hand to the two of them, signaling them to continue on their way without stopping.

Yang Zhiyuan asked eagerly: "My lord, what happened to Da Songwei?" ”

The order brought by Lu Yidian did not say what happened to Da Songwei, but just asked them to march and set off in a hurry, he noticed that Da Songwei was indeed in trouble, and it was a big deal, but he didn't know what happened to Da Songwei.

Zhang Zhun said awe-inspiringly: "It's a widow!" ”

As soon as Yang Zhiyuan, Zhang Youcai and others heard that it was a widow, their blood immediately surged.

The Japanese actually dared to land in Dasongwei, so why not?

Everyone in the Tiger Ben Army is definitely different from the Wokou!

"Brothers, the Wokou have captured the Great Songwei! We're going to kill the pirates! ”

"Speed up! We're going to stop them all before they escape! ”

Yang Zhiyuan shouted loudly on horseback.
