My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 323 Tsushima Island
North Korea sent envoys to come to the police, Zhu Di would rather believe what he had than what he did not, so he immediately sent people to notify the various guards in Liaodong to make them ready to meet the enemy.

As a result, just half a month later, Liu Jiang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, sent someone to send a good news. He led the soldiers of the Jinzhou Guard to wipe out more than 600 Japanese pirates who invaded in the Wanghaiguo area. This victory was almost more than the number of Japanese pirates that Zhu Zhanhe eliminated Ge Chengerlang before.

Zhu Di was also very happy to have eliminated two powerful Japanese pirates one after another. Not only did he send people to reward the soldiers and civilians of the Jinzhou Guard, but he also held a banquet in the palace for the North Korean envoy Li Zhan. After all, if it weren't for his warning, the Jinzhou Guard would not have won so easily.

"Envoy Li, thank you for making the trip yourself so that we can know the movements of the Japanese pirates in advance. I would like to toast you!"

Zhu Zhanhe stood up at this moment and offered a toast to Li Zhan instead of Zhu Di. After all, as Zhu Di, he must not take the initiative to toast to others.

"Your Majesty, you are being polite. I have just learned that your Majesty led a large army to wipe out a powerful Japanese bandit. He really is the son of a general. Your Majesty really looks like a King of Han!"

Li Zhan also hurriedly stood up and praised.

Li Zhan had been to Daming many times, and he was very familiar with Daming, and even knew Zhu Gaoxu.

Regarding Li Zhan's compliment, Zhu Zhanhe laughed, and then said a few words of humility before the two of them drank the wine in one gulp.

"Li Zhan, it's actually a coincidence that you came this time, because just before you came, I also sent an envoy to North Korea to meet your lord."

Zhu Di also smiled and said at this time.

Today he invited Li Zhan to a banquet, but he and Zhu Zhanhe were the only ones present. It was a private banquet.

"Your Majesty also sent envoys?"

Li Zhan was very surprised, because North Korea usually sent missions to Daming, and Daming rarely sent missions to North Korea, unless there was something important.

"That's right, the main purpose of sending envoys is also for those hateful Japanese pirates!"

When Zhu Di talked about Japanese pirates, he also showed a bit of murderous look.

The Japanese prisoners of war captured by Zhu Zhanhe before had all been executed in the capital, and the severed heads were all piled up into a hill.

As for the Japanese pirates captured by the Jinzhou Guard, they were directly executed on the spot to deter future Japanese pirates.

"Your Majesty sent envoys for the Japanese pirates?"

Li Zhan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he shouted in great surprise.

"Could it be that His Majesty wants to unite with us to defend against Japanese pirates?"

"There is only one thousand days to be a thief in this world. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. I want to send troops together with you to completely solve the problem of Japanese pirates!"

Zhu Di stood up at this moment, and spoke very domineeringly.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty really wants to send troops to completely solve the problem of Japanese pirates?"

Li Zhan also stood up excitedly when he heard the words, his voice trembling a little.

As an important minister of North Korea, Li Zhan knows better than anyone else how big a threat the Japanese pirates are to the Korean people, especially the people in the coastal areas.

Although North Korea sent people to negotiate with the Wa state many times, asking them to restrain the Wa people and not allow them to go to sea to plunder, but the national power of the Wa state is stronger than that of North Korea, of course they will not listen to them.

So now Li Zhan suddenly heard that Daming was going to send troops to completely solve the Japanese pirates, which made him immediately excited. After all, only Daming can solve the problem of Japanese pirates.

"North Korea and Japan are neighbors, and you must know them better. If we send troops together, where should we attack first?"

Zhu Di asked Li Zhan with a smile again.

Although Zhu Zhanhe has already offered to Xianren the suggestion to attack Kyushu, but Zhu Di has not yet finalized the detailed plan of how to attack and how many troops to send.

"Report to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty wants to deal with the Japanese pirates, the first place to attack is Tsushima Island, where the Japanese pirates are entrenched. As long as you take down there, most of the Japanese pirates will be eliminated!"

Li Zhan stood up and saluted solemnly.

"Tsushima Island? Where is that?"

Zhu Di frowned, he had never heard of the name of Tsushima Island.

"Grandfather, Tsushima Island is located between North Korea and Kyushu. It is composed of several small islands. There is no production on the island. It is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Kingdom in name, but it is actually a Japanese pirates' lair!"

At this moment Zhu Zhanhe opened his mouth to explain.

"Your Majesty is so knowledgeable, he even knows Tsushima Island so well!"

Li Zhan also praised again after hearing the words, and then he added some information about Tsushima Island.

Tsushima Island is mainly composed of two main islands and three surrounding small islands. The island produces almost no food, so the Japanese entrenched on the island are actually Japanese pirates, who mainly make a living by plundering North Korea.

"As far as I know, the number of Japanese pirates on Tsushima Island may reach 6000 at most, and there are often some Japanese pirates who travel south from Tsushima Island by boat and arrive at the coast of Daming to plunder. Therefore, as long as Tsushima Island is captured, most of the Japanese pirates can be eliminated."

Finally, Li Zhan said again.

"Since you know that Tsushima Island is full of Japanese pirates, why don't you send troops to attack?"

After hearing this, Zhu Di asked very puzzled.

"This one……"

Li Zhan looked embarrassed, and then said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, our country is small and the people of North Korea are weak, it is not easy to protect ourselves, and we are simply unable to take the initiative to attack!"

"Grandfather, as far as I know, when Meng Yuan was preparing to capture the Wa Kingdom, he captured Tsushima Island twice and slaughtered all the Japanese people on the island. Unfortunately, because of natural disasters, the Yuan people were unable to land in the Wa Kingdom."

Zhu Zhanhe introduced again.

"Your Majesty is right. At the beginning, Meng Yuan wanted to conquer the Japanese kingdom, and they forced craftsmen from the Central Plains and North Korea to build ships for them. However, they treated the craftsmen extremely badly, causing many craftsmen to flee, and the remaining craftsmen were unwilling to work hard at building ships, resulting in poor ships. Therefore, when a big storm came down, the Yuan people's fleet sank. It was said that it was a natural disaster, but in fact, it was the retribution of the Yuan people for not cultivating virtue!"

Li Zhan also immediately agreed.

"The Yuan people are cruel, and the Japanese pirates are also famous for their cruelty. It's really a pity that the Yuan people didn't kill the Japanese country."

Zhu Di shook his head, but it was not impossible to make amends, because there were many Mongolian cavalry in the frontier army of Ming Dynasty, and if he sent troops to the Wa country, he could also send these Mongolian cavalry to the battlefield, which could make up for the regret.

"Envoy Li, although Tsushima Island is occupied by Japanese pirates, the island is small, and the Japanese pirates on the island mainly come from Kyushu behind it. Therefore, taking Tsushima Island alone may only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

Zhu Zhanhe said to Li Zhan at this moment.

North Korea's national strength is weak, which leads to their short-sightedness. They will only stare at a small place like Tsushima Island, and dare not set their sights on Kyushu Island behind Tsushima Island.
