Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Almost all the main officers of the Huben Guards were concentrated in Golden Eagle City.

    ¡°Obviously, no one in the Huben Guards had robbed the Zheng family¡¯s ship, and Li Guo, the last one to arrive at Golden Eagle City, categorically denied that anyone in the pirate alliance had ever hijacked the Zheng family¡¯s ship.

    These are all in Ding Yunyi¡¯s reaction, so who did it?

    Now it seems there are no clues at all.

    "If it is really pirates who did it, then they must be foreign pirates." Li Guodao, who is very familiar with the maritime situation: "But the problem is that foreign pirates may come in without our knowledge, but it is absolutely impossible for them to come in without our knowledge."  After committing the crime, they left without anyone noticing, unless they had a mysterious hiding place nearby Ding Yunyi's brows furrowed tightly.

    A mysterious hiding place?  The nearby sea is owned by himself and Zheng Zhilong, where can those pirates hide?

    "Bring me the sea chart." Ding Yunyi said suddenly.

    The chart was brought over, and Ding Yunyi looked at it for a long time: "Where did the Zheng family's fleet disappear?"

    "here."

    Ding Yunyi looked at it carefully and suddenly clicked on the map: "Where is this?"

    "Go back to the main town, Satsuma Domain!"

    "Satsuma Domain?"

    "Yes! Also known as Kagoshima Domain and Shimazu Domain. Fuso Daimyo. It owns parts of Satsuma, Osumi and Hyuga Kingdoms and is located in the southwest of Kyushu What is a Daimyo?" Qin Yun asked curiously.  asked.

    Li Guo is very familiar with the situation in Japan: "The gaibei daimyo is a daimyo who was the same daimyo as Tokugawa Ieyasu before the Battle of Sekigahara in Fuso Province, or a daimyo who was loyal to Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the war and surrendered after the war. Those who fall into this category  It is called the "gaibei daimyo". Tokugawa Ieyasu mixed the three types of daimyo, the clan daimyo, and the clan daimyo, so that the clan clan and clan daimyo monitored the clan daimyo in order to strengthen their rule over the samurai.  The authority of the shogunate also promulgated the "Samurai Laws", the main purpose of which is to reward civil and military officials, to prohibit luxury and luxury, to observe frugality, to strictly enforce class, and not to have prodigal people, not to repair the city without authorization, not to have private marriages, and not to form parties, but the most important thing is.  It stipulates the system of handing over the name's participationthe Battle of Guanyuan?" Ding Yunyi curled his lips disdainfully.

    Jian Zongzhen seems to be very disdainful of the Battle of Guanyuan.  Li Guodao: "Both sides in the Battle of Sekigahara mobilized more than 100,000 troops, and most of the daimyo expressed their own positions. It was the largest civil war in the Fuso Kingdom since the Onin Rebellion. This battle was between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyori  The direct duel between Ishida Mitsunari, his retainer, and the victory of the war affected who could control the world, so this battle was also known as the "war that decided the world". In the end, the war ended in one day due to the rebellion of Kobayakawa Hideaki.  The winner was determined, and Tokugawa Ieyasu gained the right to rule, laying the foundation for the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate This could also be said to be a war that determined the fate of the Fuso Kingdom, and the chief town seemed not to think highly of it.  The subordinates didn¡¯t quite understand¡­ Ding Yunyi laughed: ¡°Nearly 200,000 people participated in the so-called decisive battle, but only 3,000 people died in the end.  'Tragic', 'tragic' This is simply like the two village chiefs of Ming Dynasty leading the villagers fighting The generals laughed, and Ding Yunyi's tone was full of contempt:

    "Japan had such a lineup during the Warring States Period. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was in overall control, and Tokugawa Ieyasu and Maeda Toshiie were on the staff. Kato Kiyomasa led the Seven Guns of Saigake, Konishi Yukinaga led the Nagasaki pirate daimyo, and Kuroda Kanbei  Father and son, Asano Nagamasa and his son, four of the five leaders headed by Ishida Mitsunari, the Tohoku princes headed by Date Masamune, the Shimadzu family headed by Shimazu Yoshihiro, Otomo, descendants of the Ryuzoji family, and Mori Terumoto headed  The Mori family, the Kobayakawa family under the actual command of Kobayakawa Takakage, the Okayama princes headed by Ukita Hideie, the Maeda family headed by Maeda Toshinaga, the Kuki family, the Murakami family, and the Kurushima family led all pirates in Japan  Such a list can be called the most luxurious lineup of Japan's Warring States Period Outside the book: What a "luxurious" lineup, are Japanese fans so excited that they worship it?)

    Ding Yunyi said this.  He sneered a few times: "It was such a super luxurious lineup. After the invasion of North Korea, it was defeated by the inferior troops led by several ordinary military generals of our Ming Dynasty The generals of the Ming Dynasty who defeated the 'famous generals of the Warring States Period' were  Who are they? Li Rusong, a general in Liaodong; Ma Gui, a Shanxi soldier; Song Yingchang and Xing Gai, literati who had never led soldiers; Yang Gao, an extremely incompetent Confucian general; Chen Li, a general in the Guangdong navy; Liu Ting and Deng Zilong.  An unknown general; Shen Weijing, a rogue and a traitorExcept for Yi Sun-shin, most of the North Korean generals were junior civilian military attach¨¦sThere was almost no famous general worthy of praise in the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces.  The military lineup fought against the so-called "Japanese Warring States Heroes" in Korea for several years, with more victories than defeats, and finally defeated the well-equipped and numerous "Warring States Heroes" Another burst of laughter rang out among these generals.

    Ding Yunyi also smiled and said: "What is the so-called Sekigahara war?"The so-called heroes of the Warring States Period are nothing more than bragging by the Fuso people themselves.  This is like a group of mountain people who have never seen the world. Suddenly a man who can lift a hundred kilograms of things suddenly appears, and they think he is the strongest person in the world. Who would have thought that when he goes to the outside world, he will find that he is completely different from them?  Think differently, the world outside is hundreds of times better than their village!  "

    Li Guo smiled: "The headquarter is also very aware of the affairs of Fusang Kingdom."

    Ding Yunyi suddenly asked: "Where are the Diaoyu Islands?"

    "Diaoyu Islands?" Li Guo was stunned for a moment before he realized: "The chief town is probably talking about Diaoyu Islands, right? Here?"

    His finger fell on the chart. Ding Yunyi said "oh" and said nothing more.  Speaking of Japan, I suddenly thought of the Diaoyu Islands. It turns out that the Diaoyu Islands in this era were called "Diaoyu Islands".

    He pondered there for a moment: "Is the Satsuma clan attacking our Ming vassal state, Sulfur Ball?"

    "Yes!" Li Guo nodded: "The Lord of the Satsuma Domain, Shimazu Tadatsune, accepted Tokugawa Ieyasu's will and sent Hisaka Kayama as the general general and Hirata Masumune as the deputy general. He led 3,000 people to attack Ryukyu and captured Ryukyu King Shonin and others.  More than a hundred people returned. Since then, Fuso Kingdom's invasion of Suzhou has never stopped The historical Ryukyu Kingdom was located in the east of mainland China and northeast of Taiwan Island. In the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent an envoy.  Minister Yang Zai went to Ryukyu with an imperial edict, which later became the official name of Ryukyu.

    According to "Shuyu Zhouzilu", the edict said: "I am favored by my subjects and ascended the throne as emperor. I will have the title of Ming Dynasty in the world, and Jianyuan Hongwu. I will send envoys to foreign barbarians to broadcast my intentions. Wherever the envoys arrive,  , the barbarian chiefs paid tribute. However, Ryukyu is in the southeast of China and is far away from the sea. I have not yet sent a special envoy to inform you."

    Except for placing China at the center and using words like "barbarians" that were commonly used by Chinese emperors, this edict has no meaning of threats and intimidation. It is a kind of peaceful diplomacy.  Therefore, Ryukyu Kingdom Zhongshan King Chadu was the first to receive the imperial edict.  He immediately sent his brother Taiqi to come to China with Yang Zai to express his vassal status.

    "Thus, Ryukyu began to connect with China, laying the foundation for humanistic reform." After Queen Zhongshan.  Ryukyu Shannan King Chengchadu and Shanbei King were afraid of Nizhi, and they also paid tribute to the Chinese emperor in the following year.  At that time, Ryukyu's "three mountains were separated" and fought against each other.  After Taizu of the Ming Dynasty learned about it, he sent an edict: "The envoy returned from the sea and said that the three kings of Ryukyu were fighting each other and abandoning agriculture. People's lives were injured. I heard that I couldn't pity you." Therefore, he asked them to "understand my wishes, rest their troops and recuperate."  The people should be used to support the country."

    The last three kings really stopped fighting and stopped their troops.  This shows that the Chinese emperor enjoyed a high degree of political authority in Ryukyu at this time

    Since the 16th year of Hongwu, successive Ryukyu kings have applied to the Chinese emperor for canonization and formally established the relationship between monarch and minister.  This relationship lasted for five centuries. Even when the Shimazu clan of the Japanese Satsuma domain invaded Ryukyu in the 14th year of Keicho, the Ryukyu Kingdom remained unchanged despite being restricted by Satsuma.  In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang "gave the Fujian people thirty-six surnames" to enter Liuzhou.

    This group of Chinese immigrants mainly teaches Ryukyu China¡¯s advanced production technology and culture.  The Ryukyu Kingdom also took the initiative to ask for Mingren, and later, when King Shoning was canonized, he asked Mingren to be naturalized.  For example, the Cai family who came from China are descendants of Cai Xiang, and the Lin family are descendants of the Lin Hejing family.  At the same time, the King of Ryukyu often sent his children to study in China.

    Since the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Ryukyu Kingdom has been using Chinese era names and pursuing Chinese Zhengshuo.

    Ding Yunyi said calmly: "A small island country actually invaded my vassal country of the Ming Dynasty. Hehe, it's great, it's great Everyone, I have a hunch that this mysterious pirate must be related to  Regarding the Satsuma Domain Everyone looked at each other and smiled. They have followed the Lord for so long, and they understand his thoughts very well.

    "My lord, I am interested in the Satsuma Domain and even the Fuso Kingdom.

    If it is finally proven that this matter is related to the Satsuma Domain, you will definitely not be polite. This will give Tiger Ben Guard a perfect reason to send troops.

    What if you can¡¯t find it?  With the personality of adults, even if there is no thing, there is still a way to describe it as yes

    Ding Yunyi did not laugh, but said seriously: "You have forgotten some things, but I have not. From the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty to the Wanli Period, the troubles of Japanese pirates were almost constant. Wherever the Japanese pirates went, men would guide them and fight them.  Then he ordered the pioneers. The women cocooned during the day, and they gathered and had sex at night Let us Ming women work for them during the day, and at night they raped these innocent women from good families. Hehe He sneered a few times.  Voice: "Everyone says that I, Ding Yunyi, am the bravest general in the world, but in my own opinion, compared with those officials and generals of my Ming Dynasty when the Japanese pirates ravaged our country, I, Ding Yunyi, am not worth mentioning  .Do you ever remember SongxiI know.  "Qin Yun said silentlyA sound.

    In the winter of the 41st year of Jiajing, a group of thousands of Japanese pirates moved from eastern Fujian to northern Fujian, looting Shouning and Zhenghe counties along the way, and approached Songxi County in early December.

    Seeing that the Japanese pirates were powerful, the county magistrate Wang Bin first wrote a letter asking for peace, saying that he was willing to pay grain, rice and silver, and asked to withdraw his troops.  This is the helplessness of the local officials. Without the protection of the government and the army, how can a small county magistrate with only dozens of government officials protect the territory and the people?  Soon a reply came from the Japanese pirates: the order was to donate ten thousand taels of silver and two hundred horses within a week. If there was any delay, the city would be captured and the people slaughtered!

    Now County Magistrate Wang was dumbfounded: Songxi County is a small town with a population of no more than 30,000. Where can I find ten thousand taels of silver and two hundred horses to offer?  Perhaps the Japanese pirates deliberately imposed such harsh conditions and had no intention of letting Songxi County go.

    The Japanese pirates pushed the whole city to a dead end and aroused the people's indignation. Every family sent out soldiers and donated food, and a spontaneously organized death squad to defend the city was formed.  Starting from County Magistrate Wang, all the men, women, old and young in the city were determined to fight against the Japanese pirates!

    Although Songxi City is small, its walls are very strong. Under the strict defense of the death squads, the Japanese pirates who were overwhelming all the way encountered a hard nail. They attacked for three days without making any progress, so they had to retreat to the countryside to plunder food and property.  In the blink of an eye, the New Year came, and on the first day of the first lunar month, the Japanese pirates came back. They hated this stubborn town and hoped to break the city and have a good new year.  This time, the well-prepared Japanese pirates set up several ladders and clambered up the ladders to attack the city.

    A brave Japanese pirate leader climbed to the battlements first and dispersed the defenders with his sword.

    The guards at the top of the city were in panic. Seeing that the defense line was about to collapse, at the critical moment, a man named Zhang De rushed over with a big ax in hand and chopped down the Japanese pirate leader with one axe!

    The morale of the defenders was greatly boosted, and they killed several Japanese pirates who climbed up one after another, lifted up large rocks, and smashed the ladder to pieces.

    The arduous defense of Songxi lasted until the 15th of the first lunar month. The Japanese pirates suffered heavy casualties, but were unable to enter the city. In the end, they had to succumb to this stubborn town and flee.  Songxi County held its position for more than forty days and sacrificed more than a hundred soldiers and civilians, including Zhang De, who had made great contributions, but the entire city was saved.

    This tragic battle took place in Fujian!

    In the history of the Anti-Japanese War in the Ming Dynasty, it is very small, so small that it is not recorded in any other historical materials except the local county annals.  It is small to history, but big to both parties involved. The battle lasted so long, and I believe it was extremely difficult for both sides.  The Japanese pirates were miserable. They did not expect to encounter such tenacious resistance. They had to grit their teeth and brave the bows and arrows of the defenders and big rocks to attack. The defenders were miserable. They were ordinary people, but now they had to risk their lives to fight, but they retreated.  There is no retreat, they are the city's last line of defense.

    Who is Zhang De?  According to the "Songxi County Chronicle", he was a very strong porter with a wife and children at home, and he volunteered to defend the city.  With this battle, Zhang Deqing left his name in history.

    Wei Rong, a native of Songxi and a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, lamented: "With one axe from Duke Zhang, tens of thousands of people in the city were able to protect their leader. It's a great achievement!"

    The porter Zhang De who left his name is a hero, and the more than 100 people who did not leave their names are also heroes.  Compared with the neighboring counties that suffered disaster due to their non-resistance, their bravery and perseverance saved the city, their wives, children and children!

    They used their heroic deaths to tell everyone that life should be lived with dignity like this!
