During this period, the Japanese country was still in the midst of civil strife between the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
In addition to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there are also various large and small forces in the surrounding areas, which are dependent on the emperors of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but are independent.
Tsushima Island is also equivalent to a small vassal state.
The feudal lord is the So clan.
The Sou family's success in occupying Tsushima was due to the Sou family's ancestor, Soushige, who pacified the Abiru clan.
Subsequently, the clan clan became the rulers of Tsushima Island.
Tsushima Island is mountainous and there is not much flat land for farming. The wealthy families and royal families of Japan's main state allowed their clans to occupy Tsushima Island and only had to pay some taxes to the shogunate every year.
Even later, the Yuan Dynasty attacked the Japanese country twice and severely damaged the clan.
Tsushima Island is still ruled by the clan.
After the Yuan Dynasty retreated, coupled with the civil strife in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Japanese fishermen often escaped from Japan by boat and came to Tsushima Island.
Because the Tsushima clan could take the fishermen to Goryeo on the opposite side, or to the Ming Dynasty further away, to rob those people.
The people of Goryeo on the opposite side were not only very wealthy, but they were also very weak, just like sheep. They could be allowed to rob, humiliate, or even attack and kill at will.
After a successful plunder, they would be well fed and clothed for the next year.
If they could successfully plunder the Ming Dynasty, they would immediately become rich people on Tsushima Island and would not have to worry about starvation or cold for the next five years.
Therefore, Tsushima Island gradually became a stronghold for Japanese fishermen to plunder Goryeo and Ming Dynasty.
Any Japanese fishermen who want to go to plunder Goryeo or the Ming Dynasty will first come to Tsushima Island to gather, and then go together.
so.
Tsushima Island is actually relatively prosperous.
Of course, the military strength is also very strong.
However, they never expected that in the cold winter season, they would all be hiding indoors to avoid the cold.
Someone actually came to attack them!
Could it be that the leaders and generals of Honshu want to take back Tsushima Island?
However, no matter what, you can’t burn the mountain!
All the Japanese on Tsushima Island are full of resentment.
When the Japanese arrived halfway along the road, they finally saw the Japanese running back.
After hearing the whole story, these Japanese people became even more furious!
This time, it was the weak Koryo people who dared to counterattack their Japanese country? Not only did they burn their ships, but they also set fire to the mountains. They were really looking for death!
Immediately, these Japanese quickly sent two warriors to inform the sect, and the remaining Japanese headed toward the harbor with murderous intent.
…
At the harbor, watching the surrounding fires getting bigger and bigger, Zhu Di ordered the ships to withdraw to the center of the bay.
It wasn't until there was only pitch black ashes around that Zhu Di sent out a group of soldiers to search again.
"Your Highness, these Koreans are much more serious than I, Yanshan Guard!"
Standing on the ship, Guo An, holding a clairvoyant eye, said leisurely to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di also nodded slightly, with a look of disdain on his face, "These Koreans want to stuff everything into their arms."
"Your Highness, in a bay in the distance, a small bay current was found, which can lead to the opposite side of the big island!"
Xu Xiang suddenly came over to report.
"Can it be connected to the opposite side of the big island?"
Zhu Di's expression condensed, and then he said: "We have burned the Japanese pirates' ships. I think the Japanese pirates will arrive soon. We only need to send people to keep an eye on the sea channel. There is no need to explore!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Xu Xiang took the order.
About half an hour later.
The fire on the mountain in the distance was gradually extinguishing.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look frozen.
The Japanese pirates are coming!
Guo An said coldly: "Your Highness, since the Japanese pirates want to put out the fire, then we will not be able to do as they wish and continue to set the fire!"
"But Guo Changshi, all the dead grass and trees around us have been burned down. If we continue to set fires, we can only go ashore and go to the end of the fire!"
Zhu Liang said.
Zhu Di pointed directly at the bay in the distance and said: "Aren't there any ridges on the other side of the bay that have not been lit?"
"Send the order, all the mountains and forests that are not set on fire are to be set on fire for me one by one!"
"Here!"
Zhu Liang went directly to deliver the order.
"Guo Changshi, are you worried that there are Japanese pirates hiding in these mountains and forests? That's why you have to clear out all the mountains and forests?"
Zhu Neng asked thoughtfully as he saw fires breaking out everywhere in Nuoda Bay.
Hearing this, Qiu Song, Chen Xi and Li Jun couldn't help but their eyes lit up.
"The Art of War says that when you encounter dangerous places on the march, such as lakes, swamps, reeds, mountains and forests, and other places where you can easily hide, you must search carefully to prevent the enemy from ambushing or scouting."
"With such a vast and dense mountain forest, it will be difficult for us and so many soldiers to search it completely. Fire attack search is the safest and most convenient..."
"Guo Changshi is indeed someone who is familiar with the art of war!"
Guo An and Zhu Di were stunned. They just felt that this island was useless to the Ming Dynasty, but it was the home of the Japanese pirates and was very important to the Japanese pirates. Burning the Japanese pirates' home could force the Japanese pirates to come out.
Who would have thought that these boys could have such a profound understanding of the art of war.
"Hmph, you're waiting for a bunch of art of war nerds!"
Zhu Liang, who came back, couldn't help but cursed angrily and said: "Your Highness and Guo Changshi are just waiting for work in leisure.
Use mountain fire to attract the Japanese pirates as soon as possible, so that you can use your abundant physical strength to kill them all. "
Zhu Liang, Qiu Song, Chen Xi, and Li Jun were stunned and looked at Guo An and Zhu Di with doubts on their faces.
Guo An couldn't help but said: "You are all right. Your Highness and I mainly want to lure the Japanese pirates here and force them to fight my army.
Of course, burning the mountain is also for better observation and to prevent Japanese pirates from hiding in it! "
Zhu Neng suddenly became shocked, "Dad, Guo Changshi said it all, and what I said is correct."
Zhu Liang looked disdainful, "That's Guo Changshi trying to save face for you and others. My army has come to the Japanese pirates' home. If the Japanese pirates don't come out to fight, will they hide secretly?"
Zhu Neng suddenly froze on the spot.
After another long while, soldiers came to report.
"Your Highness, there are no sparks on the mountain ridge!"
"Very good!"
Zhu Di nodded, "Order all the Yanshan Guards to form two teams of one hundred households. Each team will carry 500 grenades, 500 incendiary bombs, and 1,000 Korean generals to search for the Japanese pirates' roads and set up ambushes.
As long as Japanese pirates are found, don't hold back, kill them all! "
"Here!"
When Zhu Liang gave the order, Zhu Di looked at Guo An again.
"Will Guo Qing come with us for this big battle?"
Guo An took a look at the black mountain ridge and shook his head repeatedly.
"Your Highness, I am weak, so I won't hold you back!"
"In this case, Guo Qing will guard the fleet!"
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, Chen Xi, and Li Jun standing aside.
Before Zhu Di could speak, Qiu Song, Chen Xi and Li Jun hurriedly saluted.
"Your Highness, the general and others are willing to charge into battle with your Highness!"
"In that case, you will follow us."
"The general will obey the order."
Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, and Chen Xi were immediately overjoyed.
Soon, Zhu Di took Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and others off the boat and landed, and slowly moved forward along the path left by the Japanese pirates.
On the ship, Guo An held up his clairvoyant hand and followed Zhu Di.
Guo An didn't have any worries about Tsushima, a small island.
As long as the Japanese pirates don't hide and come out to fight head-on, with the cooperation of Yanshan Guards, even ten times the number of Japanese pirates can be wiped out.
As for those Goryeo generals, Guo An only used them as transportation tools or human shields.
About half an hour later.
When Guo An saw that Zhu Di and others were refreshed, a group of Yanshan guards had quietly taken out grenades.
As for the Goryeo soldiers and generals around them, all of them looked nervous, and some were even a little scared.
With Zhu Di's voice, hundreds of grenades were thrown into the distance.
Rumble…
Even though they were far away, Guo An could still hear the sound of grenades exploding.
There were also some faint shouts of killing.
Another moment passed.
Those Goryeo soldiers and generals put down their bows and arrows one by one, drew out their steel knives and spears, and charged down with howls, as if they were very excited.
Rumble…
At this time.
Another explosion came from all directions.
Guo An turned his clairvoyance and saw grenades exploding in the distant harbors where Japanese pirate ships were originally hidden.
It seems that the other groups of Yanshan Guards also ambushed the Japanese pirates.
After just one glance, Guo An looked at Zhu Di's location again.
It was too far away for him to see clearly.
However, at this moment, the battlefield where Zhu Di was located seemed to have been fought.
Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, and a group of soldiers ran towards the ship with excited faces.
"Guo Changshi, His Highness is going to lead troops to kill the Japanese pirates' lair. Please order us to bring some more grenades."
After getting on the boat, Zhu Neng couldn't wait to report.
"Um!"
Guo An nodded slightly and asked, "Zhu Neng, how many Japanese pirates did your Highness ambush this time?"
"Going back to Guo Changshi, there seem to be seven or eight hundred people!"
Zhu Neng said with excitement: "Guo Changshi, those Japanese pirates are not like the rumors at all, they have ghost faces, fangs, and are invulnerable.
I, Yanshan Guard, sent down a wave of grenades, and half of those Japanese pirates were killed or injured.
Then, those Koreans fired two rounds of bows and arrows, and not many Japanese pirates survived.
The soldiers and generals of Yanshan Guard didn't get many heads, but they were all snatched by those Koreans! "
"Um!"
Guo An nodded slightly again, stared at Zhu Neng closely, and said with a serious face: "Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, you two, please remember that in this attack on the Japanese pirates, I, the Yanshan Guard, do not need any kills or any credit.
For dangerous things such as close combat, just let those Koreans go up.
You are young and strong, with sharp eyes and quick minds. You must keep a close eye on His Highness King Yan, and must not let His Highness King Yan run away to fight with those Japanese pirates.
We, the Yanshan Guards, faced the Japanese pirates with overwhelming force.
However, the Japanese pirates are cunning and vicious, and I am afraid that they will hide in the dark and shoot cold arrows or hidden weapons at His Highness. As long as anything happens to His Highness, even if the Japanese pirates are captured this time, our Prince Yan Mansion will suffer heavy losses! "
"Yes, Guo Changshi, I will definitely keep a close eye on His Highness!"
Zhu Neng and Qiu Song looked serious.
"Very good!"
Guo An nodded slightly.
Soon, Zhu Neng and Qiu Song, each holding a few grenades, ran towards the direction Zhu Di and others left.
Wait until Zhu Di is nowhere to be seen.
The sounds of fighting in the three places in the distance gradually returned to calm.
Guo An took a clairvoyance and took a few glances, then sighed slightly and walked into the cabin.
At this moment, he missed the mobile phone or pager in his previous life very much.
And this will.
The further Zhu Di walked, the more excited he became.
Scouts kept reporting to him that Japanese pirate towns and villages were found ahead.
And along the way, without the need for Yanshan Guards to take action, those Goryeo soldiers would transform into Goryeo bandits, burning, looting and looting.
