The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 507 Yi Sun-shin's Consideration (Subscribe)

The island of Tsushima has been a fiefdom of the Wa Kingdom clan for hundreds of years.

The current governor, Zong Yoshitomo, is not so much a lord of the country as a businessman who represents the Japanese mainland in business cooperation with North Korea.

A merchant ruled a region, and although he had a little money, he was extremely weak militarily.

Even Zong Yizhi was not on the island at this time, and the rest of the Zong family couldn't come up with a corresponding strategy in the face of Daming's firecrackers and cannons.

I want to stay close to the city, but winter has just passed and the rainy season has not yet come.Daming Tiger's crouching cannon only needs to attack seven or eight times, and it can blow out gaps in the city wall.

Hearing the sound of the cannons outside the city, before the tiger crouching cannon launched the third round of shelling, the Zong clan couldn't stand the pressure and raised the white flag to the soldiers of Ming Dynasty.

surrender!

Compared with the samurai class, merchants tend to pay more attention to material profit.Since he couldn't beat him, there was nothing to say about surrendering.What's more, the opponent is a general of the Ming Dynasty, who can beat the crap out of the Japanese Expeditionary Army, and surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is not a bad thing.

As the closest Japanese to North Korea, the Zong family knew that the expeditionary force commanded by the Ukita Hide family had suffered a crushing defeat after facing the troops of the Ming Dynasty, and it was even more clear that not long ago even the Japanese navy had suffered a few big losses.

If the fight continues like this, the Wa Kingdom will definitely surrender.

There is nothing wrong with taking a step down.

"You here, who has the final say now?"

After the Zong family descended, Chen Lin did his part to live in the Zong family's territory, and at the same time called all the people in charge of the Zong family.

"My lord, the feudal lord still has the final say on Tsushima. The specific matters are all sent to me by the feudal lord, and I will handle the matter."

"Well, then listen to me now. Now that you have surrendered to Daming, you must obey the orders of this commander. Now there are two things for you to do."

Glancing at the Japanese who answered the conversation, Chen Lin nodded and said, "First, burn all boats and boats on Tsushima Island, including those villagers' fishing boats that have not yet been requisitioned; I will build another camp for you to live in, and food and drink will be provided as usual, but you must be obedient, do you understand what this old man means?"

"understand."

As the son of a merchant, how can the clan family fail to see what the old man has in mind.

Isn't it just to seize their property?
Now that his wealth and life are in the hands of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, his property cannot be kept.

However, as members of the clan, they also understand another truth. As long as they are still alive, they can continue to stay on Tsushima Island after the war is over, and the lost money will be able to earn back sooner or later.

As for the moment, it is natural that life-saving is the most important thing.

.........

"Chen Lin is an old man, his nature is hard to change."

Although Daming's capture of Tsushima Island did not trigger the dungeon announcement, Mo Xiaobai still received a letter from Hongyan across the sea a day later.

The biography briefly described how the navy captured Tsushima Island and the subsequent deployment. At the same time, [-] also told the story of the old man Chen Lin making a fortune.

"Thinking about it makes me angry. In order to win this battle, I invested thousands of gold back and forth. Now I haven't got my capital back, but other people are happy to grab the money."

Mo Xiaobai slapped the biography on the desk, curled his lips and opened his mouth, and a ray of morning light beside him said with a smile: "Who told you to be the admiral, and you want to win this war beautifully. The more you bear, the more you will pay." What's more, your gains are not comparable to others."

"I think if Chen Lin is given a chance to become an admiral, he will be willing to give up the money he has collected. And if you are a player, they will definitely be willing to use some money and materials seized from the battlefield in exchange for the high meritorious service you got .”

Hearing what a ray of morning light said, Mo Xiaobai let out a sigh of relief: "Forget it, don't think about what's there and what's not. Has the second batch of supplies arrived?"

"Not yet, the river has thawed recently, but it's not convenient to sail, so it took some time."

A ray of morning light explained and said, "However, you have done a good job in the preliminary preparations. It is not a big problem if the supply is two or three days late."

"The delivery of supplies from Ping'an Road is so slow. If I don't make arrangements in advance and wait for Zhenjiang Fort to deliver food and supplies now, I will definitely not be able to make it through in a month. How can I fight a war?" Mo Xiaobai responded with a bit of a matter of course.

"When the logistics are replenished, the next step is Busan?"

"Hehe~ Don't worry, before attacking Busan, you might as well meet the only general of North Korea in this era."

"Lee Sun-shin? Where are you going to meet him?"

"Of course, after the army went south, he came to see me. You don't think I'm going to go to Gyeongsang-do to find him, do you?"

Hearing Mo Xiaobai's retorted question, a ray of morning light blinked: "I thought you would be impatient to poach the corners of the North Koreans."

"Digging him? Not interested."

Mo Xiaobai shook his head, he had Liu Rengui and Zhou Yu in charge of the affairs of the Dameng Town Navy, so why would an old North Korean man interfere.

I'm not interested in poaching people, but since I'm here, I always want to see him.

Li Sunchen was blown away by players from the two major countries, North Korea and South Korea. Of course, Mo Xiaobai wanted to see what this old man was like.

A week later, Mo Xiaobai led his army to set off from Seoul.

Pass Juk Mountain, go to Sangju, Oegu, Miryang, and finally lead the army to station in Dongnae City.

On the second day after Mo Xiaobai arrived in Dongnae, Yi Sun-shin, who commanded the North Korean navy to block the southern waters, also rode his horse into the city.

When we met for the first time, our first impression upon seeing Yi Sun-shin was that this North Korean veteran was not as old as he had imagined.

He was nearly fifty years old, but he looked like a man in his forties.

"General Li, I've heard your name for a long time." Although Mo Xiaobai didn't look good when facing the other courtiers of North Korea, he showed a lot of respect to Li Sunchen.

This good general who swore to defend the country's sea power deserves his respect.

"The last general, I have met the admiral of the Celestial Dynasty." Li Shunchen responded with cupped fists neither humble nor overbearing, his eyes were also full of Mo Xiaobai.

Such a young admiral of the Ming Dynasty, who was able to lead his subordinates to defeat the Japanese country repeatedly, is truly a genius.

North Korea has never seen such an outstanding figure!

"General Li is both wise and brave, fighting alone. I heard about your deeds when I was in Zhenjiang Fort."

Mo Xiaobai nodded with a smile, and signaled Li Sunchen to take a seat: "I admire your achievements, but I came to you today not only to see you, a North Korean general, but also to hear your opinion on something."

"Sir, please speak."

"Now the Japanese expeditionary force has suffered a crushing defeat. If it is not bad, they should be eager to withdraw to their home country. But with your blockade at sea, and my Ming army has captured Tsushima Island, do you think it is possible for them to retreat? "

Mo Xiaobai's question made Li Sunchen silent for a while.

Seeing his expression froze for a moment, a ray of morning light asked beside him: "What did the general think of?"

"I have some concerns at the end, but after thinking about it again and again, I feel that it is too crazy."

"What did General Li think of?"

"Reporting to Admiral, although the Japanese sea power has been weakened by half, the commander of the navy, Kuki Jialong, still has hundreds of warships, which are distributed in various ports in the southwest of Busan."

Li sun-shin hesitated for a while, and finally said what he had in mind: "Originally, when the Japanese retreated south, they should either go to Geoje Island first, or go directly to Tsushima Island. Now that these two islands are in the hands of Da Ming, I am worried that the Japanese will They will take the risk and break out from the port of Busan to the east, and go directly to the country of Wa.”
