When Zong Yizhen returned to his home in Fuzhong City, he was already a prisoner of the Mongol warriors.
The heir to a dignified feudal lord with a fortune of 100,000 stone was actually captured by the Yuan invaders who invaded Japan during their first battle... What a shame!
But it's not his fault!
After he found out that he was completely defeated by Yuan Kou, he felt like committing suicide by committing seppuku! However, it still hurt too much to commit seppuku, so he chose the "fan cut" method of death, which was to use a fan to pretend to commit seppuku and let someone cut off his head to settle the matter. In fact, he was decapitated.
But he is also very meddlesome. He has already been cut by a fan, so why should he take off his armor and clothes? Find a place where no one is around, squat down, and let the wrong person pick up the knife and drop it, right? As a result, he waited for a long time. As soon as the man raised the knife, he heard a burst of gunfire. Zong Yizhen was unharmed, but Zong Yizhen's samurai was beaten to a sieve by Ren Yuan's musket and died. . Facing Yuan Kou who was trying to capture him, Zong Yizhen only had a fan in his hand...
So Zong Yizhen was now tied up and brought to a bald and bearded "Yuan Kou" leader.
And it’s still in his own castle!
Because the "loyal retainer" Sasu Mori who was in charge of defending the city after Mune Yishin came out saw his lord's defeat and did not dare to hold any more cities, so he took his men and ran away over the mountains - to the northwest of Taimanan Island. There were some fishing ports nearby. Sasu took his retainers to find a fishing boat, and then went to Geoje Island to find the escaped soldiers of Ukita Hideie, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet...
Now Zong Yizhen is sitting on his knees in the hall of his former Honmaru, watching boxes of gold and silver treasures being carried out by Yuan Kou and placed in front of him.
Those are all the savings accumulated by the Zong family from doing trade between Japan and South Korea for decades!
Now it all belongs to Yuan Kou... And the bearded Yuan Kou who made a fortune still looks angry. Could it be that he is too young?
When Zong Yi was really thinking, the bearded Yuan Kou spoke, not in Mongolian, but in Chinese, not with Zong Yi really, but with another bearded old man with a baby face. Said.
"Look, look...these Japanese pirates are so bad. They have stolen so much gold and silver. What a heinous crime!"
Zongyi really understands Chinese - he is also a foreign vassal of Korea! All high-class people in North Korea must be able to speak Chinese, otherwise they will be regarded as barbarians.
So Zong Yi really learned Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages from an early age.
Therefore, he could understand what the bearded Mongolian said, and that man was actually Obai.
After hearing this, Zong Yi really almost cried out.
What are the Japanese pirates? Who are the Japanese pirates? Why are these the stolen gold and silver treasures? That's all earned from doing business... You Mongolians can't take advantage of it! You obviously robbed me, why do you still accuse me of being a robber?
The baby-faced Yuan Kou is Shang Keai. He is also the deputy admiral of the Pacific Navy and also serves as the guard of the Jiulongpo Camp.
Hearing what Obai said, he nodded vigorously: "That's right, after robbing so much gold and silver, this pirate leader must have done many evil things. It's better to kill him with one blow!"
ah? Zong Yi's face changed drastically. Not only did you rob, but you also killed!
Obai waved his hand: "How can you kill him with one sword? I, the Qing Dynasty, are not that unreasonable!"
Why did it become Qing Dynasty? Zong Yizhen was confused again. Didn't the sail say Mongolia?
Aobai added: "Besides, we don't know much about the reality of the Japanese pirates' combined fleet on Geoje Island. We just want to torture the Japanese pirate leader severely and find out the situation of the Japanese pirates' combined fleet from his mouth."
What? Still want to torture? Zongyi said sincerely: Where can I learn about the situation of the Japanese pirate fleet? Even though he was not far away, he didn't dare to come to contact him - wouldn't he be asking for death if he contacted "Commander Ukita" for nothing?
What does the shogunate think it will do to the Mazon family for colluding with Toyotomi's remnants?
"Admiral, then hand over this Japanese pirate leader to the lower official for torture!" Shang Keai said, "The lower official must tell him that he cannot live or die!"
It's terrible, it's terrible...
Zong Yizhen, who had become a prisoner, was almost mentally broken when he listened to the two Mongolian demons talking. Now that he heard the words "I can't live, I can't die", I couldn't bear it anymore, so I started shouting in fluent Chinese. .
"What an injustice! Mine is not a Japanese pirate's job! Mine, a great good man, is not a Japanese pirate...I am a vassal of the King of Joseon!"
Monk Obai looked at each other cutely and laughed. They were acting!
They came with North Korean diplomats who had been to Tsushima Island. They still don’t know what the Tsushima family does?
Shang Keai smiled and said: "Since you are a good person, can you tell me what happened to the Japanese combined fleet that invaded North Korea? Don't say you don't know! I and Commander Ao are not fools, and they are not that easy to fool. of!"
Zong Yi really feels so bitter inside, it seems like he still needs to be beaten...
...
Even if Shang Keai beats Zong Yizhen to death, he can't explain anything because he doesn't know at all! However, the elder of his family, the Sasu Mori family, arrived at Okpo Port on Geoje Island the day after the fall of Tsushimafu Naka Castle.
However, the Sasu Mori family did not see a single Japanese in the home port of the old camp of the Japanese United Fleet...Zahope and the others were not in Okpo Port at this time, but were going to other places on Geoje Island to conquer "Bandits" are actually Koreans who resisted Japanese colonial rule.
The Tamura Port that the Sasu Mori family saw had been built into a fortress that was difficult to break through from both sea and land.
At the entrance of Okpo Port, two forts have been built with sandbags and wooden piles on the two "gatekeeper" peninsulas, named "South Fort" and "North Fort" respectively. 16 12-pound bronze cannon. The water between the two peninsulas is blocked by cable boats.
On the land behind Yupu Port, a 26-mile-long civil wall and 13 civil fortresses were built along the mountain. The civil city walls are directly connected to the north and south forts, forming a fairly safe place for garrisoning troops and berthing ships, which are called Yupucheng and Yupushuicheng.
When the Sasu Mori family was taken to a camp built next to the dock in the Yupu Port area, two regiments of new officers and soldiers of the Ming Army (Army) were already stationed in Yupu City, as well as hundreds of marines. . In Yupu Water City (which is the Gulf Military Port), there are twenty or thirty warships of Chinese and Western styles moored.
These warships were launched in large numbers a few days ago, to attack the Mongolian fleet concentrated in the port of Jiulongpo (that is, Obai's fleet), but they missed the target. Last night, Obai broke into Tsushima Fuchu City. I just returned to Hong Kong.
Zheng Jiangong and David Jones of the "Flying", as well as Deputy Admiral Zheng Cai, and Shen Xiaofeng, a deputy commander of the Beiyang Navy sent by Shen Tingyang, had just rested for the night and were gathering at the Admiral's Yamen in Yupu Castle. When they were about to discuss where to look for the "Mongolian Fleet" next, the Sasu Mori family was escorted over.
It was Shen Xiaofeng's men who captured the Sasu Mori family. They could not speak Japanese, but they all recognized the Japanese costumes, so they arrested him and his retainers as Japanese pirates. Seeing that they were dressed like big Japanese pirates, they were sent to Zheng Jiangong and others who were in a meeting.
Zheng Jiangong looked at Sasu Mori's house, opened his mouth and asked in Japanese: "You Japanese pirates are so sneaky, what do you want to do?"
Of course, the Sasu Mori family has recognized that the "Japanese pirates" here in Tamagawa Port are all disguised by the Ming Dynasty Navy - you can tell by looking at the military uniforms and flags!
Now when this high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty who could speak Japanese asked this question, he became less angry and hummed: "We are feudal lords of Tsushima Prefecture. We heard that there is a sea of unknown origin on Geoje Island in Korea." The thief pretended to be our Japanese navy, so he came to check!"
Zheng Jiangong had stayed in Japan for many years, and of course he knew the situation of Tsushima Fuzhong. He immediately smiled and said: "It turns out that he is Zong Yicheng's retainer! You go back and tell Zong Yicheng that we are the navy of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the purpose of raising the Japanese flag is to confuse the enemy... It is not to make Japan an enemy."
Sasu Mori shook his head, with a look of indignation on his face: "I won't go back!"
"Why?" Zheng Jiangong was stunned.
Sasumori said: "Because the central city of Tsushima has been occupied by the Mongols!"
