Although the Ming Dynasty and the Xinming Dynasty had commercial exchanges among the people in recent years, there was no contact between the imperial courts. Now Xinming suddenly sent Zhu Zhanji here. His identity was so special that Yin Yong had to treat it with caution.
After confirming his identity, Yin Yong immediately dispatched a warship to return quickly to report the news. Another ship followed Zhu Zhanji's fleet, and he followed Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji was very kind to Yin Yong, and in just a few days, the two of them talked about everything.
"Is the Japanese country ahead?" Zhu Zhanji looked at a large island appearing in the distance and said with emotion, "I saw it when I followed Grandpa Huang to Xinming, but I didn't have a deep impression. I can't remember it after so many years. It’s a little blurry.”
Yin Yong was very familiar with the Japanese country and nodded with certainty: "Your Highness is right, that is the Japanese country. A little further ahead, it is the former Zhenguo Gong. The battlefield that destroyed the Japanese kingdom."
When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he immediately became curious, "Oh? How come Gu doesn't know about this? When did Lord Zhen Guo defeat the Japanese country here? Can you tell Gu?"
Yin Yong's chest puffed up and he nodded very proudly: "Of course."
"At the beginning, Mojiang was just a small school in the navy. Duke Zhenguo came back from America and passed by this place to rest. The Japanese country, which was not long-sighted, wanted to take advantage of the situation. Duke Zhenguo was angry and raised troops. With the advantage of warships and artillery, he defeated the Japanese country in one battle. An army of one hundred thousand..."
At that time, Han Du was just passing by the Japanese country and killed a hundred thousand Japanese soldiers. This matter was not publicized everywhere. I just reported it to Lao Zhu alone after returning to Beijing.
Lao Zhu didn't care about it even more. Anyway, as long as Han Du didn't suffer a loss, he wouldn't interfere. This incident was like a fallen leaf falling in the lake, calming down without causing even the slightest ripple.
Not many people know about this, not even Zhu Zhanji.
As for the Japanese country, they had no contact with the Ming Dynasty at that time. Even if they wanted to file a complaint, they could not find a channel and could only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.
The more Zhu Zhanji listened, the more excited he became, and he kept asking Yin Yong to tell him in more detail.
Finally, he simply asked Yin Yong to take him to the battlefield to see for himself.
"This..." Yin Yong hesitated.
"What? Is General Yin in any trouble?" Zhu Zhanji asked.
Yin Yong smiled and then shook his head.
Said: "It's not that there is any difficulty, it's just that the islands are full of extremely vicious people now..."
Zhu Zhanji was stunned and didn't understand what Yin Yong meant.
Yin Yong quickly explained: "Your Highness, please don't get me wrong. It's not that the general is afraid. It's that... going to the island... feels unlucky. Generally, we are not willing to go to the island."
Zhu Zhanji suddenly realized that to put it bluntly, these were a bunch of utter rotten people. Ming Dynasty threw these people on the Japanese island, just to let them rot and die. People like Yin Yong certainly don't want to encounter this bad luck.
After laughing, Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I just want to take a look. I think it won't be a big deal."
"Well, since His Highness wants to go, I will accompany His Highness for a walk." Seeing Zhu Zhanji's insistence, Yin Yong agreed. He didn't want to go to the island, it was just because he was afraid of it, not that he was afraid of the desperadoes on the island.
Those people may be as scary as evil ghosts in the eyes of others, but in Yin Yong's eyes, they are just a bunch of maggots in the cesspool. It can be easily trampled to death with one foot, but the sound it makes when it dies is so jarring that it makes people feel uneasy even while eating for several days.
The fleet docked at the seaside, which was originally a large port. But since Han Du landed here and defeated the Japanese country, this place was abandoned by the Japanese country.
Now after so many years, the traces left by the original humans have almost disappeared. Only after peeling away the surface sand, can you see some ruins, symbolizing the former prosperity of this place.
"Back then, Duke Zhen Guo led the general and others ashore from here..."
"The warship was at that location at that time.
....."
As soon as he arrived at the place, Yin Yong seemed to have returned to that day many years ago, and he excitedly introduced the situation to Zhu Zhanji. I even wanted to describe clearly every plant, tree, weather and wind direction at that time.
Zhu Zhanji listened very carefully, and even tried to recreate the scene in his mind through Yin Yong's words. But after all, unlike Yin Yong, he did not experience it personally, and Yin Yong did not have the ability to fully describe the scene at that time. No matter how Zhu Zhanji fantasized, he always felt that it was far from the scene in his mind.
"Hoo~" Zhu Zhanji climbed up the hillside and let out a long breath of hot breath.
I saw a vast flat land behind the hillside and lush greenery.
Seeing the lush vegetation, Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, "Why...why are the vegetation here so lush?"
After all, this is on the beach, and it is rare to see such lush vegetation.
Yin Yong looked at the flat land in front of him, took a deep breath, and sighed: "A hundred thousand people are buried here. How can the vegetation not grow lush?"
"One hundred thousand people buried? Here? Hiss!" Zhu Zhanji turned around instantly and raised his finger pointing to the ground, forgetting to take it back.
The endless green in front of you is a beautiful sight that is pleasing to the eye no matter where it is placed. What's more, appearing on the beach creates a scene that is completely different from other desolate beaches.
But when he thought that this beautiful scenery was raised by the flesh and blood of 100,000 people, and that underneath the lush greenery there were numerous bones, Zhu Zhanji couldn’t help but appreciate the beautiful scenery. None.
There was silence all around, except for the grass and trees, not even the sound of insects could be heard, and even the wind became cautious when it came here.
"Let's go..." Zhu Zhanji let out a long sigh, turned around and walked towards the boat step by step with his hands behind his back.
This is a dead place, and his original curiosity was shattered by the cruel facts.
Yin Yong was silent for a moment, and then followed Zhu Zhanji back to the ship.
The fleet set sail again. Zhu Zhanji stood on the bow of the ship, looked back at the Japanese island, and sighed: "Who are there on the Japanese island now?"
Yin Yong was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "There are extremely vicious death row prisoners, and maybe some original Japanese..."
Yin Yong was not sure whether there were any Japanese on the island. Anyway, he had been patrolling the island for so long, but he had never seen a single Japanese. The Ming Dynasty's death row prisoners had seen them a few times.
However, when Yin Yong thought about it, the Japanese island was so big and there were many Japanese people there, so there should be some who survived.
Zhu Zhanji did not ask any more questions. He and Yin Yong were both silent. As the speed of the ship became faster and faster, and the distance from the Japanese island became farther and farther, until they could no longer see it at all, their moods gradually recovered.
"I heard that there is a famous Silver Mountain in the south of the island. I don't know where it is?" Zhu Zhanji asked with a smile.
When Yin Yong heard this, his brows suddenly relaxed. No matter what the situation is, whenever the word silver is mentioned, people will always feel an inexplicable excitement.
