Chapter 38                                                             �

Zhou Mengchen thought it was ridiculous, and he knew why when Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked Korea and Korea, the Korean Navy had some combat power. Now, looking at the Korean-Korean army, it was already very bad.

This made Zhou Mengchen much more relieved.

A powerful North Korea-Korean did not meet Zhou Mengchen's expectations. Of course, if the North Korea-Korean was too weak, it would not meet either.

Zhou Mengchen felt that he needed to carry out some transformation of the North Korean army so that they could fight for the Ming army, rather than now. He could hardly do anything. On the other hand, he also cultivated more pro-Ming officials and generals within the North Korean army.

Although North Korea and Korea are enough to lick Daming, the thing about licking dogs has never been too much.

Zhou Mengchen put his thoughts on the Ma Zong family and others, and he also agreed with Hu Zongxian's idea. That is, since he surrendered, he must not be killed. Since Zhou Mengchen wanted to cut off a piece of meat in Kyushu, Japan, he also needed some local forces to support him.

Since you are so sensible about the Ma Zong family, you may not be able to use it.

Zhou Mengchen said, "Send an order. Let Hu Zongxian examine the people of the Zong family. Anyone who has been to China will be killed. If you have not been to, choose a leader and send it to Jeju, and I want to see him."

Soon, the father and son were sent to Zhou Mengchen.

It is a controversy between the two generations of the Ma Zong family, the hometown leader Zong Qingkang and the family leader Zongyi.

Seven or eight years ago, the head of the hometown was already old. He immediately passed the position of the head of the family to his son Zong Yitu, and no longer cared about the world. But now when the Zong family is alive and dead, how can Zong Qingkang sit still?

Even this decisive surrender in front of the battlefield was the opinion of the head of the hometown.

When the two met Zhou Mengchen, they immediately prostrated themselves and said in a Chinese with a straightforward Chinese: "The sinner Zong Qingkang and his son Zong Yitu visited the Lord."

Zhou Mengchen said, "What crime is there?"

Zong Qingkang said, "What kind of sin is my sin. The eight thousand children of my Zong family are willing to forgive their sins and do anything for them. Please be kind to you."

Zhou Mengchen smiled softly and said, "Get up and talk."

Zong Qingkang felt a little sweat on his forehead, and immediately got up and stood with his hands hanging down. He was like an old servant.

In fact, for Zong Qingkang, he also knew that his words were too stiff. But he didn't know how many opportunities he had to take out his biggest bargaining chips in the shortest time.

What is the biggest bargaining chip of the Zong family? It is the only combat power of the Zong family itself.

Among the heads of the Zong family, Zong Qingkang and his son Zong Yi were all good at talent adjustments. Zong Qingkang paid more attention to the family's internal strength, built water conservancy, and settled the island. He only needed to call the Zong family and split the family, which was not allowed, which has strengthened the internal cohesion of the Zong family, etc.

The So-Yi-Tune is more about it. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's campaign against the dynasty was related to the So-Yi-Tune. However, his talents have not been revealed yet. During the previous battles, the North Korean and Korean army had been killed many times. If it weren't for the Ming Navy's command, the North Korean and Korean army would have been wiped out several times.

Zhou Mengchen said: "Tsukema Island, I have assigned it to Korea and Korea, and you can't live anymore. However, in the past year, the Korean and Korean people will not touch your family members who stayed on Tsukema Island. However, after a long time, I will not know. Therefore, you only have one year of work and one year of work to prove your ability to me. I will naturally give you a piece of land. Otherwise-----"

Zong Qingkang said: "Please rest assured, my Zong family will definitely be crushed to pieces by the adults, and it will be gone after death."

Zhou Mengchen didn't understand why the Zong family was so polite to him. To be honest, everything that happened to Ma Island was dominated by Zhou Mengchen. After hundreds of years of rule over Ma Zong family, it turned into ashes with Zhou Mengchen's statement. If he was a Zong family, he would definitely hate Zhou Mengchen to the core.

But Japan's thinking is obviously different from that of the Chinese.

Their admiration and obedience to the strong is adapted to by the Chinese. Of course, when the strong are not strong, they will take action without hesitation and will not have any psychological burden.

In other words, they do not obey that particular strong man. But the strong man himself.

As long as the strong keep themselves strong, they will have infinite loyalty. But when the strong are no longer strong, they will have infinite cruelty.

Zhou Mengchen also had some premonitions about this. I guess his loyalty to the Ma Zong family is not very pure. However, those who do big things should not be too obsessed with cleanliness. Those who are loyal should use it, those who are disloyal, and those who are loyal on the surface should use it.

Therefore, Zhou Mengchen did not investigate what these sects thought. He said: "Didn't the Ma Zong family participate in the Japanese pirates?"

Zong Qingkang said, "Sir, we swear to the heaven that I have never sent anyone to the Celestial Empire to rob the Ma Zong family. Lord Hu has also checked this and executed anyone who has been to the Celestial Empire. There are only a few hundred people."

Zong Qingkang played a word game.

The Ma family has long been rich and has become a master of low-level fun.

As a middleman in Sino-North Korea trade, he controls the key business path. Isn’t he more money in maritime trade than robbery? Why did he end up in person? The Ma Zong family did not send anyone to the Ming Dynasty, but he existed as the stolen seller behind it.

In terms of making money, you earn more than those who fight and kill yourself.

Zhou Mengchen did not investigate this in depth, because he could not investigate it in depth.

The law does not punish the masses.

In this era, the population of Kyushu in Japan was not very large. Japanese pirates were almost semi-public in Japan, especially Kyushu, where almost all the top figures participated.

What Zhou Mengchen wanted was to install a stronghold in Jiuzhou, and from then on, he supervised Jiuzhou to remove this business and control the Sino-Japanese waterway, instead of killing all those involved for the previous matters. This was impossible.

It is easy to defeat the main players of each of the Jiuzhou franchise, but it is difficult to kill each of them.

Zhou Mengchen asked: "So who is behind the support of the Japanese pirates?"

Zong Qingkakura hesitated for a while. He knew very well that everyone was in the Kyushu Daming, and some of them had not participated in it, and they had purchased stolen goods. Even the big men in Kyoto in Japan did not care about how the Ming Dynasty objects were in their hands.

This involves too much.

Zong Qingkang had already inquired about the Celestial Empire's conquest for the Japanese. It was because of the Japanese pirates. He felt more sensitively that what he said here was probably evidence and excuse for the Ming Dynasty to use troops.

In this way, he was out of Japan.

However, he looked up slightly at Zhou Mengchen, but saw that Zhou Mengchen's divine light was restrained and he could not see any tendency in his eyes. It seemed that he asked if he had eaten.

Facing this seemingly plain look, his heart suddenly tightened and he said to himself: "It's already done. My Zong family will no longer be Japanese from now on."

In fact, the meaning of the country is very different from the consciousness of the nation-state in later generations. As mentioned in the previous article, Chen Dong was Chinese, but he grew up in the Satsuma vassal state and even became a son of an old vassalist. Of course, it is not clear whether this adopted son is the heir or a similar samurai who is raised by his side. The name of the fake adopted son is not clear.

As a Chinese, Chen Dong also has a Chinese self-awareness. When he was working for the Satsuma vassal, he did not feel that it was wrong at all. He just adhered to the salary of the king and shared his worries for the king. He didn't care who this king was.

Some people who work for Mongolia also have the same idea.

The same large number of Mongolian generals who served the Ming Dynasty, Hui generals also had the same idea.

The Zong family was originally between North Korea and Japan. Although they originated from Japan, they had some differences in their living customs with North Korea and even other maritime merchants for many years. Now, in order to survive, they also threw away the title of Japanese without hesitation.

In the future, he adhered to the idea of ​​becoming the Great Ming Zong family in the future and said: "All the names of Kyushu have participated, led by the Otomo family and the Shimazu family. Both Ouchi and Maori are also involved."

Zhou Mengchen nodded secretly after hearing this. How could he not know who was involved? He said the most important sentence, which seemed to be asking, but also as if he was a temptation, and said, "I want to use troops to Jiuzhou. I don't know what the head of the sect has?"
