Chapter 437: Since the Japanese pirates are here, don’t go back

If it weren't for the information sent by Ma Yi, Zhang Zhun would have thought that the intelligence department accidentally regarded the pirates as Japanese pirates, or regarded the Tartars as Japanese pirates. However, Ma Yi was very careful and cautious in doing things and would never make any mistakes. Since Ma Yi pointed out in the intelligence that it was a Japanese pirate, then the one who attacked Dasongwei this time must be the real Japanese pirates. Unexpectedly, after traveling through four hundred years of time and space, he actually encountered Japanese pirates!

Zhang Zhun didn't know where these Japanese pirates came from, how many people were, and what background they had. Because the incident happened suddenly, Ma Yi had not had time to investigate clearly, so there was no expression in the information. However, just for the word "Japanese pirates", Zhang Zhun issued an order to fight the Japanese pirates to death without thinking. No matter when or at any time or space, he was incompatible with the Japanese pirates!

In fact, the meaning of the word "Japanese pirates" is very general. The Japanese pirates first appeared in the late Song Dynasty. Since the Yuan Dynasty, wandering Japanese samurai had already appeared sporadically on the southeast coast. By the time the Ming Dynasty was established, the disasters of Japanese pirates were already quite common. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have needed to set up the Nine Guards and Eighteen Stations along the coast to specifically guard against Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates during Qi Jiguang's period can only be said to be the most intense time for the Japanese pirates to suffer. Due to the implementation of the sea ban policy and the guidance of a large number of traitors, the Japanese pirates evolved and inspired. Since then, the Japanese pirates have basically been wiped out. The reason why it is basically that there are still sporadic Japanese pirates. In fact, since Qi Jiguang was transferred to the north to guard the border, sporadic Japanese pirates still exist, but they cannot cause too much waves.

During the Wanli period, the Ming army and the Japanese army fought hard on the land of North Korea, and the Japanese army were all driven back to the country. The hero Toyotomi Hideyoshi also died of depression. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, Japan entered the shogunate era. Japan's political situation was relatively stable, and large pirates rarely appeared. However, this does not mean that the Japanese pirates have completely disappeared.

In fact, the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Chongzhen period was not completely stable, and the domestic power struggle was still very fierce. Tokugawa Ieyasu, the third general of the Tokugawa Shogunate, faced internal challenges and counterattacks from Emperor Mizuno, and his dominance was not particularly consolidated. Some daimyos were slandered against Tokugawa Ieyasu. Some daimyos, who were even losing power, wanted to attack the land of the Ming Dynasty from time to time. Especially in the descendants of the so-called famous Japanese generals who were defeated by the Ming army in North Korea, were not very convinced.

According to historical materials learned by Zhang Jun's previous life, in 1603 AD, Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed as the general of the Conquering Yi and established a shogunate in Edo. By the time of the third general Tokugawa Ieki, the shogunate organization was generally complete. The shogunate territory accounted for about one-quarter of the country's land, and the rest were led by Daming (the princes), and it was called a vassal state. (Note that the area controlled by the shogunate was only one-quarter of the country.)

The general was the supreme ruler of the country, with Laos and Zhong, who decided policies, governed government affairs, and was responsible for controlling the court, daimyo and diplomacy. In addition, if the year sends, he was responsible for controlling the shogunate territory and its directly subordinate retainers, and also established temples and edo towns and sects, divided into temples and temples, finances and Edo municipalities, and litigation within the shogunate territory. The shogunate set up county or agents in the directly governed territory, and directly controlled farmers through geodesics, village annual tribute contracting system, five-person group system, etc.

The power of Tokugawa General was stronger than that of Kamakura and Muromachi. Daming was the ruler of each vassal state, with family members, Nianzi, etc., directly ruled the people, and had the administrative, judicial and tribute collection power of the territory. The shogunate set up a patrol envoy and an inspector called Meku to supervise the various vassal states, and adopted methods such as Daming's visit and Daming's revisions and Daming's revisions to control Daming, but the vassal states still had relatively independent. (Note that the vassal states still have great independence.) Therefore, a political system was formed for the vassal states to divide the rule under the control of Tokugawa General.

With such a political system, it is difficult to avoid some daimyos taking risks for money or other reasons, wanting to run to the land of the Ming Dynasty as they did decades ago to plunder. In particular, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's failure to attack North Korea, which exacerbated the possibility of such sudden plunder. This is especially true for some daimyos in western Japan.

The Japanese have always been very dissatisfied with the Chinese. It can be seen from the earliest letters of "The Emperor at the Sunrise and the Emperor at the Sunset". As long as there is a chance, the Japanese will harass China. This was the case in the Tang Dynasty, and the same was true during the Wanli period. After being beaten and afraid of being beaten, they became obedient again. But they didn't have long been obedient, and they remembered to test China's movements again.

The Japanese must know a little bit about the current situation in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the culprit is to Zheng Zhilong. In fact, the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group has a very close relationship with the Japanese. Zheng Zhilong’s place of success was Japan. His first pot of gold was earned by the Japanese by selling weapons. His relationship with the Japanese shogunate and even many Japanese daimyos was quite close.

The Japanese must have learned about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty from their daily commercial trade. Therefore, some Japanese daimyos, who were crazy, had the mentality of taking a fuck and leaving. The distance between western Japan and the coast of China is not long or short. When the wind is on the wind, you can reach it in three days. Get on the boat, sail for three days, arrive at the destination, loot, and return. It takes almost no more than a month.

In fact, with the current ability of the Ming Dynasty, even if there are really Japanese pirates who come ashore and take a handful of them, the Ming Dynasty will have no choice. After all, the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period and the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period are completely different. The Tartars in Liaodong and the civil unrest in Shaanxi have already made the court exhausted and unable to deal with it, let alone the Japanese pirates who just robbed them.

It is precisely because of this that the Ming army defenders of Dasongwei were caught off guard and easily landed by Japanese pirates. The first person the local people thought of was not the Ming army in Dengzhou Prefecture, but Zhang Zhun next to him! Perhaps they all knew that the court was unreliable, and it was better to ask Zhang Zhun, a rebel, to arrive sooner.

Of course, Zhang Zhun had no choice but to fight against the Japanese pirates. After receiving the information, he made the decision to send troops without any hesitation. Therefore, the scene of continuously deploying troops at the beginning appeared.

"The Navy arrived at the sea outside Dasongwei, pay attention to clarifying the situation."

"Since the Japanese pirates are here, don't go back."

Zhang Zhun said to Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu.

His tone was actually very plain, without any ups and downs. However, as long as he was a human, he could feel Zhang Zhun's murderous aura in his plain tone. Since he was here, he should not go back. With this sentence here, if they let a Japanese pirate go, they would not be able to complete the task perfectly. Only by destroying all the Japanese pirates in Dasongwei can it be considered that since he was here, he should not go back.

"You lead the navy to prepare for combat!"

"Run to the sea near Dasongwei as soon as possible!"

Zhang Zhun said solemnly to Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu.

"clear!"

"Sir, please rest assured, we are not cowards!"

Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu answered sternly.

When fighting against Japanese pirates, whoever hesitates at all will be a coward.

"good!"

"I'll leave first!"

Zhang Zhun nodded, quickly returned to Katsushima Island by boat, turned over and ran towards Dasongwei.

From land to Dasongwei, he had to pass through Xiongya Station. Since Zhang Zhun controlled Xiongya Station, his capable general Yang Zhiyuan has been stationed here. When Zhang Zhun came to Xiongya Station, he found that the Biaozi Battalion had set off. The soldiers of the logistics army were loading ammunition. Because Zhang Zhun's order was very urgent, the Biaozi Battalion was forced to set off. Therefore, Yang Zhiyuan and his soldiers only brought two base ammunitions and set off.

"Hurry up!"

"We are going to fight against Japanese pirates!"

Zhang Zhun shouted to the soldiers of the logistics forces.

"Japanese pirates!"

"What? We are going to fight against Japanese pirates?"

The soldiers of the logistics army were slightly stunned, and then they all burst into blood.

Oh my God! It’s actually a Japanese pirate!

No wonder the soldiers of the Biaozi Camp set out in a hurry. It turned out that there were Japanese pirates in the direction of Dasongwei! Damn, Japanese pirates actually dared to land near our Hu Ben Army. They were really impatient! It seems that General Qi had not beaten the Japanese pirates back then!

The soldiers on the front line were fighting Japanese pirates. How could their movements be slow? No matter how hard they were, everyone hurriedly worked hard and hurriedly followed behind. In order to speed up the marching, the soldiers also sang loud Tiger Army Song.

Zhang Zhun rode his horse and quickly caught up with the soldiers of the Biaoziba camp who were marching urgently. The Biaoziba camp was the original No. 1 Associate and the oldest unit of the Hu Ben Army. Yang Zhiyuan was also the first member of the Killing Fish Squad who followed Zhang Zhun, and he had always been very strict in the training of the troops. This can be seen from the speed of the Biaoziba camp.

"drive!"

Zhang Zhun patted his horse's butt, quickly caught up with Yang Zhiyuan, and rushed side by side with him.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

Yang Zhiyuan and Zhang Youcai hurriedly stopped the war horse and waited for Zhang Zhun's arrival.

Zhang Zhun waved to the two of them and signaled them to continue moving forward and not to stop.

Jerry Yang asked eagerly: "Sir, what happened to Dasongwei?"

The orders brought by Lu Yidian did not explain what happened to Dasongwei, but just asked them to march in a hurry. He realized that something happened to Dasongwei was indeed a big deal, but he did not know what happened to Dasongwei.

Zhang Zhun said sternly: "It's the Japanese pirates!"

When Yang Zhiyuan, Zhang Youcai and others heard that they were Japanese pirates, their blood immediately surged.

What if the Japanese pirates actually dare to land in Dasongwei?

Everyone in the Hu Ben Army and the Japanese pirates are definitely different from Dai Tian!

"Brothers, the Japanese pirates have occupied Dasongwei! We are going to kill the Japanese pirates!"

"Start up! We want to block all the Japanese pirates before they escape!"
