619 Brothers Reunion

Zheng Zhilong sent someone to send an order to make Zong Yicheng the outpost of the Ming army. If the Japanese navy was found to appear, a red flag would be erected on a high place on the island. Among them, there were five hundred red flags and three hundred blue flags to warships to warn Busan.

The reason why I asked Soyoshi Cheng to do it was that the Ming army did not have enough troops and could not control such a large Tsubasa Island, at least in the short term!

Nowadays, the Ming army is used to search and suppress the Japanese scattered at the southern end of the Korean Peninsula. If there are fewer people sent to Tsuma Island and these Japanese have different intentions, it is equivalent to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and it is useless at critical moments. If there are more troops sent to Tsuma Island, once the troops are dispersed, the war will be more dangerous and not cost-effective.

At this time, Zong Yicheng heard the Ming general's questioning and quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "Of course, you have to do your best to do your best in the matter of the Grand Marshal, and there will be no mistakes!"

After hearing this, the general of the Ming army was quite satisfied with Zong Yicheng's respect and was quite satisfied, so he prepared to go back and pay the order. However, before leaving, he warned Zong Yicheng: "If you are cheating, the general said that you will destroy Tsubasa Island!"

"I dare not, I dare not..." After hearing this, Zong Yicheng nodded and bowed immediately, and responded repeatedly.

So, after about a quarter of an hour, Zong Yicheng turned around and returned home when he saw that the Ming army warship had gone. At the same time, his face suddenly became gloomy: A vassal lord with a hundred thousand stone faced a small leader of the Ming army, but he had to be so respectful, how could he be happy?

His subordinates, seeing from the beginning and end, naturally understood what he was thinking. The older follower said to him: "Do not worry about the vassal lord. In the view of villains, although the Ming army was powerful for a while, it was just an outside army in the end, and there was no need to worry too much!"

"Oh?" Zong Yicheng immediately raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at the man and asked, "What do you mean?"

If he hadn't seen the strength of the Ming army, why would he be so proactive and humble!

The other entourages were also a little curious. They all looked at this old man and wanted to hear what he said?

The older entourage analyzed to Zong Yicheng: "What is the war in North Korea? In the end, it is only the Ming army itself who is talking about the head of the Japanese Damufu or Lao Zhong. No! What is the real situation in North Korea? You must not just listen to what the Ming army says. As for the situation we can see on the Ma Island, the Ming army should have the advantage on the North Korean side. At least for now, the Navy was the Ming army. But, so what?"

"So what?" Zong Yicheng repeated with a little suspicion.

"Yes, so what!" the man continued, "The Korean War situation is of great importance to Japan. The general will definitely not give up. Therefore, subsequent reinforcements will definitely come. And the villain concluded that once it comes, it must be sure to be able to defeat the Ming Navy and then to support the strength of the Korean Japanese Army. Otherwise, think about it, if the general sends a navy that cannot be defeated, then why bother?"

Hearing this, Soyosuke couldn't help but nod. The troops from the Ming army had already sent someone to Edo. After so long, I haven't seen the number of Ming army warships increasing, which means that the strength of the Ming army's naval forces was still reported to those in Edo. In this case, the naval forces sent by the general must be able to defeat the Ming army's naval forces, and only those who are sure will be sent here.

After thinking about this idea, he immediately felt at a loss.

And the old follower continued to say: "In addition, if the Ming army really had enough strength, why did they have to let the vassal masters do this? It would be better not to directly send people to Tsuma Island, or simply kill Kyushu Island directly. Therefore, the villain speculated that the Ming army would definitely not have enough troops. Back then, the Ming army sent to North Korea was only 40,000 to 50,000 people, and at the most, it was only 70,000. How many can we come this time?"

Speaking of this, he paused and analyzed confidently: "Although the Ming Dynasty is crowded, it is too far away from here. Therefore, it is not that the Ming Dynasty does not want to send more troops, but that he cannot afford so many troops. However, the Japanese side is different. It is too close to the Ming side, so the logistics supply will naturally be less burdened. If the general goes crazy, 200,000 troops can be sent here."

Speaking of this, what this person said is very clear.

If the war between Ming and Japan continues, the ultimate winner will inevitably be Japan. The decisive factor is the issue of logistics supply.

In response to this, Zong Yicheng finally showed a smile on his face and praised: "It turns out that Jiang is old, good, good! If you say so, everything will be clear!"

To be honest, he was really scared by the Ming army for a while ago. But at this time, he really had no worries. He was too young to be too strong to hold the strong, and this strong man could only be Japan!

Thinking of this, he immediately began to send orders, asking his subordinates to do what the Ming army told them first, and when the Japanese navy army arrived, they would provide false information to the Ming army. In this way, if Japan could destroy the Ming army, he would have some credit. He could also get it to the general!

…………

In Busan, the captured Japanese were doing hard labor and rebuilt the Busan Port for military purposes.

On the nearby mountains, observation posts were also established, including the outer islands such as Juji Island, to form a complete set of early warning mechanisms. As for the early warning of Tsushima Island, it is actually just the outermost link, and whether there is or does not affect the entire early warning mechanism.

For Zheng Zhilong, he often attacked others, so he naturally had to beware of being attacked by others. It is precisely for this reason that in addition to establishing his own complete warning mechanism, he also sent people to pass on orders, and by the way, he gave orders to the priesthood of Tsushima.

But what he didn't expect was that Soyosuke took him too seriously and thought he was an important part of the early warning mechanism of the Ming army, and was already thinking about the idea of ​​cheating the Ming army to please Tokugawa Iemitsu.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong looked down at the construction of the port on the mountainside where Shigemasato Inoue committed suicide, and also looked into the sea and the direction of Japan.

As for Japan, Zheng Zhilong can be said to be a Ming Dynasty native who is familiar with the Japanese affairs. After all, he had settled in Japan before, and even married a wife and had a son.

He knew how strong the overall strength of Japan was. Although North Korea defeated the Japanese army, Japan still had the power to fight. It was definitely not something that Zheng Zhilong, led more than 10,000 navy troops, Li Dingguo, and Lu Da, and more than 10,000 cavalry troops to conquer.

The victory of winning against Japan before was due to unexpected attacks. But now, this advantage is gone. On the contrary, it is still unknown how many troops will come to Japan, who will lead the army, and when will it arrive. Relatively speaking, it is Japan that is in secret and it is clear. The next battle is probably not easy to fight!

However, I don’t have any trump cards here. Although the war is not easy to play, I am not afraid of playing. The Japanese navy is here as soon as it is coming!

In addition, Zheng Zhilong also had an unexpected event, that Li Dingguo and Lu Da's more than 10,000 cavalry troops actually defeated the Japanese army in Korea. It is estimated that in less than a month, the remnants of the Japanese army scattered in the mountains and forests would be wiped out.

Thinking of this, he was a little relieved. Now that his navy has North Korea as a support, he no longer has to worry about being surrounded by the superior Japanese navy on the island. This also increased the chances of winning and gave him more confidence.

"Oh, it would be great if I knew the Japanese Navy's troops!" Zheng Zhilong thought about all this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a ship coming from afar, with the banner of the Ming Dynasty, but not the ship of the Ming Dynasty. This surprised him a little, and immediately picked up the telescope and looked at it.

At first, it was a little far away and I couldn't see the person standing on the deck. However, Zheng Zhilong felt a little familiar, so he looked carefully for a while, and suddenly he was overjoyed. He quickly put down his telescope and said, "Go down and welcome my fifth brother!"

To be honest, he has always been a little worried about Zheng Zhibao's safety. Although the emperor had already reminded him that he had sent someone to notify Zheng Zhilong to evacuate immediately, but he was worried after all. When he saw this, he was naturally happy to see him.

By the time he got off to the dock, two naval warships on Zheng Zhibao's ship had already "escorted" into the port, one left and one right.

"Brother, I'm back!" Zheng Zhibao looked at the busy scene in front of him, and saw the figures in red military uniforms everywhere. When he arrived at the very friendly room, he suddenly saw the long-lost brother. He strode towards the dock surrounded by a group of generals, and quickly waved his hand and greeted him excitedly.

However, Zheng Zhilong was obviously more mature. Although he was happy, he did not lose his composure. He stood on the dock and watched his fifth brother jump off the boat and walked over quickly.

It can be seen that there is no missing arms or legs, and all the beards and tails are coming back!

Zheng Zhibao quickly walked to the elder brother, and then suddenly remembered something. He immediately turned his face seriously, stood firm, and clasped his fists and reported: "The Jinyiwei Baihu has seen the Grand Marshal, and there is a report on the Japanese military information!"

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his fifth brother was so serious.

However, he knew his younger brother and immediately understood that the fifth brother should have felt that the emperor was still thinking about his safety, so he put his life first.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong was also grateful, so he also corrected his face and said, "Please speak!"

Although he was the Grand Marshal and there were only one hundred households opposite him, this hundred households were the Jinyiwei households, and they were not under the jurisdiction of him, but were directly under the emperor. Therefore, aside from the relationship between brothers, he had to treat the hundred households in front of him politely.
