Chapter 671: The Battle of Tsushima

"When can I go?" Zhu Houhuang asked.

Zhu Houhuang settled in Busan, but Busan is not someone else's place after all, and the North Koreans are also very wary of Dongyong, and Dongyong's army can only camp outside Busan City, relying on Busan Port.

Of course, the North Koreans also invited Zhu Houhuang to live in Busan. But Zhu Houhuang refused.

A gentleman does not stand under danger. Zhu Houhuang did not pin his life on the trust of the North Koreans.

So in Zhu Houhuang is also in the seaside camp. The climate in the north is much wetter and colder than in the south, and most of Zhu Houhuang's subordinates are southerners, so they already have some symptoms of discomfort at the moment.

Zhu Houhuang decided to settle the war quickly, lest it be protracted and the war drag on until winter, which would be troublesome.

The degree of ice in the Japanese sea area alone in winter made the Yongjun sailors unbearable.

So settling down, Zhu Houhuang immediately asked.

This time, it was Xu Song who was in charge of the logistics of the army. Gainshsu was familiar with both Japan and Korea, both of which were Shaofu's trade partners.

"The minister has already consulted with the DPRK. North Korea is willing to provide food and grass for the army. Therefore, we can transport less grain and grass, so that within ten days, we can cross the sea to attack the Ouchi clan. Xu Song said: "But there is one thing that North Korea wants? ”

"What?" Zhu Houhuang asked.

Xu Song said: "North Korea wants to borrow our army's naval division to attack Tsushima Island. ”

Zhu Houhuang still had some impressions of Tsushima Island, an island on the border between Japan and North Korea, and he asked: "Who is in power on Tsushima Island and what is its strength?" ”

Xu Song said: "The Tsushima Island clan is a branch of the Shao Er clan, with no more than a few thousand soldiers, no more than tens of thousands, a narrow land and few people, and no food is self-sufficient. However, it relies on trade between North Korea and Japan. A few years earlier, the Miura Rebellion had led to the intervention of the Tsushima clan, which was seen as a thorn in the side of Korea, and trade between Japan and Korea was cut off, and Tsushima Island became a gathering place for Japanese pirates, often harassing the coast. The Koreans have long had the intention of uprooting the Ma Zong clan, but the people of the island country have a fierce bearing, and the repeated attacks of the DPRK are just to make the Ma Zong clan a vassal. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Liu Laodao." ”

"The minister is here." Liu Laodao said.

Zhu Houhuang said: "This matter will be handed over to you." Your troops will take this Tsushima Island for me within ten days. Remember that this is for the North Koreans, and you should save some effort. ”

Liu Laodao has been among pirates, and these intrigue skills are not unfamiliar, and they are a little bit by Zhu Houhuang. Immediately said: "The minister understands that the minister will definitely make the North Koreans bleed." ”

Zhu Houhuang is unhappy with the Koreans, especially the current Korean king. He was unwilling to give the North Koreans a good face, but Dongyong's battle in Japan still needed the support of North Korea, so he was a little uneasy and said, "Pay attention to every square inch." ”

"I understand." Liu Laodao said respectfully.

After arranging this matter, Zhu Houhuang said: "Is there any movement in the Ouchi clan? ”

Wu Fengyi said, "The entire Ouchi clan has gathered in Yamaguchi Castle. There are more than 100,000 people, and they should not be underestimated. The Ouchi clan army was divided into two parts, one in Honshu and the other in Kyushu. But for the specific distribution, please give His Highness a little more time. ”

Wu Fengyi has made a lot of efforts during this period of time, but the lack of Jinyiwei in the early stage of Japan is not something that can be made up for a while, during this period of time, Wu Fengyi sent hundreds of spies to the territory of the Ouchi clan, and almost all the mobile places in Wu Fengyi's hands were used.

I can't get much detailed information out of the way.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Go and ask the Hosokawa clan to see what the Hosokawa clan means?" Can you get some news from the Hosokawa clan, remember, be careful of the Hosokawa clan's small movements. ”

"I understand." Wu Fengyi said.

The Hosokawa clan is the overlord of the eastern kingdom of Japan, and the generals are not outsiders like Zhu Houhuang, but a deep-rooted local snake. The news channel of the Hosokawa clan is much stronger than that of Dongyong.

"Fortunately, there are still ten days, and there is still a little time. Uncle, you have to pay attention. Zhu Houhuang said.

"The minister is guilty. The minister will do his best to live up to His Highness's order. Wu Fengyi said.

In fact, the negligence of intelligence on Japan and North Korea should be attributed to Zhu Houhuang. Every time Zhu Houhuang uses troops, intelligence comes first. Zhu Houhuang also knows more about the countries of the South Seas than Korea and Japan.

But the battle of the Japanese that was suddenly put on the agenda disrupted Wu Fengyi's work rhythm. That's where it is now. But Wu Fengyi had the heart to take it for Zhu Houhuang.

It seems that all mistakes are the fault of the subordinates, just as the monarch is a little mistake.

Zhu Houhuang said it several times in private, but he was pushed back by Wu Fengyi.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Since this is the case, I will go down to prepare." After ten days, depending on the weather, it was decided to send troops. ”

"Yes."

Liu Laodao immediately went out to find the person in charge of the North Korean side.

The two sides hit it off. As a preliminary preparation for the attack on the Ouchi clan, the Battle of Tsushima Island began.

Tsushima Island is so close to Busan that it is visible to the naked eye on a clear day. And the port of Busan is an important logistics place for the Yong army, even if North Korea does not require the Yong army to send troops to clean Tsushima Island. Zhu Houhuang also had to determine the tendencies of Tsushima.

He would never leave such a hidden danger behind.

Liu Laodao did not use all his strength, a total of more than 20 warships, and dozens of North Korean troop carriers behind, but the size difference between the two sides is too great, Liu Laodao's ships are all large ships, several circles larger than the North Korean ships, and the ships on both sides are clearly distinguished.

As soon as this side moved, Tsushima Island got the news.

On Tsushima Island, in the middle of the castle tower.

Two rows of samurai sat on their knees, and a young man in his twenties sat on the main seat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Ming Kou coming from the east is the biggest crisis after the Korean Eastern Crusade. Can you please teach me? How to survive this catastrophe? ”

This young man is Zong Shengzhi. It was the head of the Tsushima clan.

The Tsushima clan is a very interesting family.

Just looking at the surname, there are no characteristics of Japanese surnames at all, and the Tsushima clan was not originally called this, and the Tsushima clan was originally called the Tsushima clan, but in order to interact with Korea and China, the Tsushima clan changed the surname, and it became the current clan.

This shows the sophistication of the Tsushima clan's ties to North Korea.

There is not much land to be cultivated on Tsushima Island, and it cannot feed the mouths of tens of thousands of people up and down the Tsushima clan, so foreign trade is his only way to survive.

The reason why the Ma clan was deeply hated by the North Korean authorities was because during the Miura Rebellion, the Jong clan directly intervened.

But for Zong, he can't intervene.

Gain's course was the lifeblood of the Zong clan. Moreover, the cause of the Mipu Rebellion was only because of the indiscriminate killing of innocent people by North Korean soldiers.

Before Japan closed its borders, Japanese merchants were far away, and even in Siam there was a Japanese settlement, and even more so in Miura.

Miura had a Japanese settlement, and as a result, the Korean soldiers killed four Japanese as Japanese invaders, causing dissatisfaction among the Japanese people. A rebellion was launched.

The Tsushima clan first intervened in mediation, but the North Koreans tricked them. Talking here, killing people over there.

Many of these slain were members of the Zong clan or partners of the Zong clan. The former head of the Tsushima clan, Zong Shengmao brought 300 soldiers into Yanpu. In the end, he was killed in battle.

Only then did Zong Shengzhi ascend to the throne.

Without trade supplements, Tsushima was immediately in an embarrassment, coupled with the hatred between the Jong clan and North Korea. So it was natural to go back to the old business and be a pirate raider in North Korea.

It is only now that North Korea must find a way to get rid of the Tsushima clan and then hurry up.

"Your Highness." An old man said: "First of all, we must determine who the enemy is, if it is the Akito, we might as well surrender, the power of Tsushima is really unable to resist the army?" ”

Tsushima Island is located on the main transportation route, and when the Yongjun army entered the port of Busan by boat, many of them saw the ship that covered the sky and the sun, and he was greatly surprised.

The reason why they are not afraid of the North Koreans is because the North Korean sailors are too bad. In addition, Tsushima Island is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not difficult to deal with the North Korean naval division, but against the Yongjun naval division, they have no bottom.
