Chapter 755: Tsushima Domain

Tsushima Island is now the domain of the Tsushima clan, and the 20th governor of the clan, Yoshitomo So, held the positions of Tsushima Mamoru and Iki Mamoru, and after Toyotomi Hideyoshi gave the order to conquer Korea, he vigorously opposed Tsushima's close trade relations with Korea. However, Hideyoshi ignored this and instead threatened to confiscate the clan's domain, so he was forced to lead 2,850 soldiers to join Konishi Yukinaga in the war of invasion of Korea, and suffered a series of defeats in the battle.

After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, when the Japanese invaders retreated, Munyoshi wisely chose the route of driving southwest from Jeju Island into Chinese waters and then turning back to Tsushima Island, thus avoiding the attacks of the Chinese and North Korean naval forces, and was able to safely escape back to Tsushima Island, where he closely monitored the situation on the sea, waiting for the return of Konishi Yukinaga and others.

But the black smoke that suddenly rose on the sea surface gave him an ominous premonition in his heart, because Tsushima Island is extremely dependent on maritime trade economically, Zong Yizhi is no stranger to the situation at sea, this smoke is caused by the fire and burning of the ship, and it is the direction of Konishi Yukicho's withdrawal from the defense minister's business, could it be that the Ming sailor stopped Konishi Yukiga?

Zong Yizhi wanted to send troops to respond, but when he thought of the strength of the Ming army, he hesitated, and now the Tsushima clan has suffered heavy losses one after another, and the strength of the Zong family has dropped greatly, if the only remaining fleet is also sunk by the Ming sailors, then he will become the lord of the bare pole domain, hesitated for a long time and finally the idea of preserving his strength prevailed, "Pass the order, let the warships go to sea, but not go far, just keep an eye on the situation at sea near the port." ”

If Governor Konishi and they can escape here, and there is no Ming army chasing them, he will go forward to meet them, as for what to do if a large group of Ming warships arrives, he has not thought about it at all, and he doesn't have to think about it, anyway, Tsushima Island is so many people and ships, what can he do except escape and surrender when the Ming fleet comes?

The black smoke on the sea surface is getting closer and closer, and gradually you can already see several burning Japanese warships quickly heading towards Tsushima Island, on board are the flags of Konishi Yukinaga and Fujido Takatora, Zong Yizhi was about to give the order to come forward to answer, but saw that on the sea level behind them, countless warship masts with the Daming flag were gradually raised.

One, two, three... Ten, twenty ... The number of warships and the number of angry love exceeded the triple digits, and the size and number of gun positions of these warships far exceeded the poor little sampans under Zong Yizhi, and they had no way to compete with the Ming army's sailors.

"Master, what should we do now?" Not only Zong Yizhi, but also the retainers in the Ma Domain in front of this scene were also full of cold sweat, they may have thought that the Ming Dynasty would retaliate against Japan, but they did not expect this revenge to come so quickly, their troops left in Korea have not all been evacuated, and the Ming sailors came to Tsushima Island.

Looking at the few warships left by Yukicho Konishi and Takatora Fujido, Zong Yoshizhi and his retainers already knew that I am afraid that the more than 10,000 soldiers under the command of Yukicho Konishi have been wiped out!

"Your Excellency, Tsushima Island is almost here, as long as we can escape to the island, we may be able to continue to live." A Japanese general pointed to the Zong family's fleet in front and said to Governor Konishi, "If the Zong's fleet resists for a while, how can you go to the island!" ”

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, he saw that the boats had turned around and fled back to Tsushima, and they had no intention of coming forward to meet them.

However, no matter how fast they escaped, they couldn't escape the artillery fire of the Zheng family's sailors, and with the continuous roar of the cannons, one after another the Japanese warships continued to sink to the bottom of the sea, and finally Konishi Yukinaga and Fujido Takatora did not escape the catastrophe, and were sunk by the Daming Sailor under the nose of Zong Yizhi, and everyone on the island who saw it was terrified.

Everyone prayed to Amaterasu and many other gods, praying that these Ming troops would leave after cleaning up Konishi Yukicho; Oh, there is something different about Munao, he is a Chechi Dan religion, and he was baptized eight years ago in the town of Konishi Yukinaga, Higo Kunido Utojo, and his Christian name is "Alblias", so Munyoshitomo chose to pray to God.

Unfortunately, neither Amaterasu nor Yahweh seemed to have affected the ability of the Great Ming Marine, and after sinking the last Japanese warship, they did not have the slightest intention of withdrawing their troops, but sailed straight towards the port of Tsushima Island, and the cannons on the ships also turned their muzzles and aimed at the warships and defenders in the port.

"The head of the house! What now? Will you fight to the death with the Ming army? The samurai of the Tsushima clan drew their swords, and only waited for Zong Yoshizhi to give the order to fight to the death with the Ming army, as for whether their katana could threaten the Ming army's warships, it was two words, no matter what, they had to show their loyalty to the clan first.

War? What kind of war? Zong Yizhi smiled bitterly in his heart, the land of Tsushima Island is barren and cannot be cultivated, except for the enclave of Hizen Country, it can be said that there is actually no stone high, and he has been relying on the sea trade with North Korea to make a living, and now Japan and Korea have been fighting for many years, this financial resource has long been lost, plus the few troops in the domain have suffered heavy losses in the invasion of Korea, Zong Yizhi now has few soldiers and horses left, far from being the opponent of the Daming Water Division.

"Surrender to the generals of the Ming Kingdom." Zong Yizhi gave the order weakly, since he couldn't win the battle, and Tsushima Island was lonely and there was nowhere to escape, what else could he do but surrender?

"Head of the house!" The retainers of the clan knelt on the ground and begged Zong Yizhi to take back his fate, but they couldn't come up with a way to deal with the Ming army sailors who were about to attack, and finally they could only agree to Zong Yizhi's order, and immediately sent envoys to the fleet of the Ming sailors in small boats to ask for surrender.

Soon after, the warships of the Daming Navy Division crowded the harbor of Tsushima Island, and a group of elite soldiers disembarked and landed on the island, taking Tsushima Island under their control, and Zong Yizhi was also brought to Li You.

"Tsushima Shouzong Yoshichi meets with the general of the kingdom." Zong Yizhi led the ministers of the Tsushima Domain to kneel down in front of Li You, "Dare to ask the general why he came to Tsushima?" ”

"The Japanese invaded my Ming vassal for no reason, causing the lives of North Korea to be ruined, and my Ming Dynasty spent countless money and food, so I came here to punish the Japanese and compensate for my Ming losses." Li You said.

When the interpreter translated the words to Zong Yizhi, Zong Yizhi and the others were stunned for a moment, it seems that occupying Tsushima Island is far from the purpose of this general!
