Chapter 390: Coming to Jeju Island

For the springboard of North Korea, Zhou Zhong is determined to win, even if he uses some dishonorable means, such as supporting the Ping An Army and threatening the alliance of scholars who are most likely to oppose the annexation of North Korea, anyway, they are all Koreans, and it is not the business of the Ming Dynasty for the North Koreans to kill the North Koreans, even if this matter is in trouble with the Ming Dynasty, it has nothing to do with Zhou Chong, as for the relationship between Zhou Zhong and the Ping An Army, it is obviously an innocent business exchange, and Zhou Chong is just selling some unused weapons and food to Ping An. What's more, several other powerful forces in North Korea have bought his weapons and food.

It can be said that Zhou Zhong has already made preparations for the merger of North Korea, if the Korean warrior alliance agrees to annex it, if it does not agree, then the Heian Army will not have any mercy to them, as for those who serve as officials in the Heian Army, Zhou Chong is not afraid of them at all, it is a big deal to clean up the entire Heian Army, at most more people will die, anyway, he is ready to move people to North Korea in the future, and now there are more Koreans, and more people will be able to move more people in the future.

For Zhou Chong's such a tough threat, the envoys of the four Shi Clan Alliance, who are also the four largest Shi clan patriarchs within the Shi Alliance, were angry at the same time, and they couldn't help but feel helpless, after all, they all knew that with their current strength, there was no possibility of resisting at all, and although the governor of the Ming Dynasty in front of him was young, he was extremely ruthless, if they didn't agree, then they would really face the disaster of extermination.

After Zhou Zhong threatened the envoys of the four Shi Clan Alliances, he stood up and left the main hall, and he said that he would give the other party a day to think about it. So it's natural to keep your promises. However, the four messengers did not make Zhou Zhong wait too long. Because they soon found that they had no other choice at all, so at noon, they had already made a choice, that is, to give in to Zhou Zhong and be willing to support the annexation of the Ming Dynasty to North Korea.

After the last obstacle of the Shi Alliance was resolved, there was no longer any obstacle from the Ming Dynasty in Korea, and now Liu Tao and Li Anliang were left to take over the territory of the Shi Alliance. Then he handed over the attached letter to Daming, hoping to get the protection of Daming.

Taking advantage of the period when North Korea sent a letter of state to the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Zhong left Seoul and got on the boat, all the way to the southeast, and soon came to Jeju Island, which is now completely occupied by Chang Xiao's sailors, and the Korean people on the island have also returned to their hearts, in their opinion, they are no longer Koreans, but the people of the Ming Dynasty. The reason for such a big change is all because of the continuous war in Korea before. Jeju Island has been suppressed by Chang Hyo, coupled with the grain shipped from Daming, making it the only happy land in the Korean war, so the Korean people here are naturally grateful to Daming, and they usually regard themselves as Daming, and even when they see other Koreans who fled to the island, their eyes are full of contempt.

Jeju Island is famous for its three more, which are more stones, more wind and more women, so Jeju Island is also known as Sando Island, among which stones and wind do not need to be mentioned, the reason why there are many women in Jeju Island is mainly because the men on the island need to go to sea often to fish, the sea conditions around Jeju Island are very dangerous, men often have accidents when they go to sea, and the proportion of casualties is very high, as a result, there are many men and girls on the island, and even many women cannot get married.

However, now with the stationing of Chang Xiao and these sailors on Jeju Island, the situation of women on the island not being able to marry has also been quickly improved, and these sailor soldiers have a few spare money in their hands after being treated by Zhou Zhong, plus they are stationed overseas all the year round, they usually feel lonely, and the women on Jeju Island are more enthusiastic, and as a result, under the fire, many people have raised a local woman on the island as a concubine, especially among the officers who have more spare money, this situation is the most common.

Zhou Zhong also knew about the concubines of the sailor soldiers on the island, but he didn't plan to care about it at all, after all, the sailor soldiers are also people, and as long as they don't violate military discipline, it is normal to add some fun to their overseas life by accepting a local woman, not to mention that these women are likely to give birth to the children of the sailor soldiers in the future, which will also promote the stability of Jeju Island.

Now the naval division station on Jeju Island has been moved from Seongsanpo to Jeju City in the middle of the island, which is the largest city on Jeju Island, before there were people on Jeju Island who made a rebellion, and the Korean officials in Jeju City were killed in the war, so Chang Hyo sent troops to take over here, as for those who made trouble, it is estimated that they have already entered the belly of the shark.

Chang Xiao was naturally very happy about Zhou Chong's arrival, not only because Zhou Chong was his boss, but also because when the Huang family, the descendant of Zhu Yunwen in Malacca, was disposed of, the Huang family had a subsidiary family, and it was also a descendant of Chang Yuchun, and it was still Chang Xiao's kindred, but Chang Xiao was almost implicated, but fortunately Zhou Chong's protection, which made him safe and sound, so Chang Xiao was also very grateful to Zhou Chong, and now seeing Zhou Chong coming to Jeju Island, he naturally wanted to be warmly entertained.

Jeju Island is an island rich in a variety of seafood, the most famous of which is abalone, Jeju Island is very famous for its abalone, and the abalone is also famous here, and when the weather is beautiful, the ama on Jeju Island will be covered in oil, and then jump into the sea to collect abalone, sea cucumbers, shells and other seafood at the bottom of the sea.

People with a little common sense in later generations know that swimming helps women shape their bodies, and the haenyeo who live by the sea on Jeju Island all the year round are naturally mostly slim, plus they are enthusiastic and bold, usually naked in the sea like a fish to drill around, when encountering the warship of the Daming Sailor, not only do not avoid it, but will boldly climb on the boat naked, and sell the seafood they have just caught to the generals on the ship, as a result, those green-eyed generals only care about walking around the body of the ama, where will they bargain, often did not hesitate to pay generously, and as a result, he suffered a lot of losses, but the advantages of these Ming generals were not easy to take advantage of, and soon those sea maids even became the private property of the Ming generals.

Chang Xiao as the supreme commander of the Jeju Island Sailor, naturally did not escape the temptation of the ama, this time he entertained Zhou Zhong on a boat outside Jeju City, the concubine of the ama next to him jumped directly into the sea, and soon caught some seafood, and then directly on the boat to kill and cook, although the dish is not very good-looking, but the taste is extremely delicious, which also makes Zhou Chong is appetite.

"Chang Xiao, now that the overall situation of North Korea has been decided, he will soon submit the letter of state attached to the request to Daming, and then you must block the strait, if someone flees from North Korea to the Wa State, then you don't have to pay attention to it, but you must prohibit anyone from returning to North Korea from the Wa State!" After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Zhong suddenly confessed with a serious face.

Chang Xiao heard Zhou Chong's order but asked a little puzzled: "My lord, it is a big deal for North Korea to attach our Ming Dynasty, and it will also have a great impact on the Japanese State, and it is normal to block the strait at that time, but why just unilaterally block the road from the Japanese State to the Japanese State, and let go of those who go from Korea to the Japanese State?" ”

For Chang Xiao's incomprehension, Zhou Zhong smiled and said: "North Korea has millions of people, although I used strong means to make the domestic forces in North Korea agree to the annexation, but there are always some people who don't know the times will oppose this matter, so when North Korea attaches to my Ming Dynasty, these people will definitely have people who are unwilling to stay in North Korea anymore, and then they are likely to move to the Japanese country, rather than let these people stay in North Korea to make trouble for us, it is better to let them leave North Korea and go to the Japanese country, so you don't have to care about those people at that time, As long as we are careful not to let the Japanese people get mixed up in North Korea to make trouble for us. ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's explanation, Chang Xiao also nodded thoughtfully, he is a military general, and it is normal for him to lack these political affairs.

"By the way, what is the situation on the Wa country side during this time, is the Ashikaga clan and the Hosokawa clan still in a confrontation?" Zhou Zhong drank a glass of wine and asked again, during this time, he focused all his energy on the affairs of Korea, and he paid less attention to the Wa country, he only remembered that after the Ashikaga clan defeated the thousands of troops of the Hosokawa clan some time ago, the two sides once again fell into a confrontation.

Hearing Zhou Zhong ask about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, Chang Xiao also perked up and said: "My lord, since the last battle of Shingui Mountain Castle, the Ashikaga clan defeated the Hosokawa clan's army in one fell swoop, which made the momentum tremble, the Tayama clan and the Hatano clan finally regarded the Ashikaga clan as an equal ally, and now these three forces have been closely united, ready to attack the Hosokawa clan from the west and south directions, but the Hosokawa clan is not willing to be restrained, after Ouchi Yoshiko left Kyoto, Hosokawa Takakuni actually released his suspicions with Hosokawa Sumimoto, who fled to Omi, The two brothers unite once again and prepare to fight to the death against the combined forces of the Ashikaga clan. ”

Zhou Zhong heard that Hosokawa Takakuni and Hosokawa Sumimoto, the two rival brothers, were forced to unite again by the Ashikaga clan, and he couldn't help but be a little funny in his heart, if the two brothers trusted each other at the beginning, I am afraid they would not have killed each other, and finally let Ouchi Yoshiko and Tayama Shangshun find an opportunity, and as a result, the most Lu squeezed into the core power circle of the Wa Kingdom, although later Hosokawa Takakuni squeezed out Ouchi Yoshiko and Tayama Nashon away, but it made the two dissatisfied, which directly led to the current situation where the Ashikaga clan rose again.

"The split Hosokawa clan has united again, so the strength of their union with Ashikaga Yoshisai should not be much different, and presumably the future war will be even more exciting, which is really exciting!" Zhou Chong couldn't help but smile and sigh after being the most embarrassed.

"Hehe, don't worry, according to the information we have received, I'm afraid that the war between the Hosokawa clan and the Ashikaga clan is about to begin." At this time, Chang Hyo said again that the most important task he was stationed on Jeju Island was to monitor the situation of the Wa Kingdom, and he also knew that as long as the Wa Kingdom was in chaos, it was time for him to take the sailors to make meritorious contributions.
