My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 327 To Ma Zongshi

Tsushima Island.

Zong Zhensheng stood on the high ground by the sea, looking anxiously at the sea surface in the west, but no matter how long he looked at it, the sea surface was still empty, and there was no sign of half a boat at all.

"Don't look, according to the original agreement, they should have come back half a month ago, but they haven't come back now, and they probably won't come back."

At this moment, a middle-aged warrior came over and said.

I saw that this middle-aged warrior was not tall, but he was extremely strong. There was a long scar on his left face, which ran from his forehead to the corner of his mouth, making his face look very ferocious.

"How is it possible, there are 2000 people, how can they not come back?"

Zong Zhensheng whispered in despair.

Zong Zhensheng is the Patriarch of the Tsushima Sect, in charge of the entire Tsushima Island.

When Zong Zhensheng’s father, Zong Zhenmao, was alive, the relationship between Tsushima Island and North Korea was not bad. North Korea allowed their family to enter North Korea to do business, and sold some special products of Wa to North Korea, or sold special products of North Korea to Wa. It can be said that they did business at both ends.

But when Zong Zhensheng succeeded to the throne, he fell out with North Korea because of the Japanese pirates.

Although Tsushima Island does business with North Korea, it is also a den of Japanese pirates. They do business with North Korea.
As a result, Zong Zhensheng's behavior finally angered North Korea, and ordered him to stop doing business with them, and even ordered him to restrain the Japanese pirates on the island.

Zong Zhensheng didn't care about North Korea's order at all, so he organized Japanese pirates on the island to send two thousand troops to plunder along the North Korean coast.

Originally, according to the original agreement, the Japanese pirates from this tribe who went out to plunder should have returned long ago, but they have not been seen until now, so Zong Zhensheng often ran to the seaside to look westward during this period, hoping to see the traces of ships.

Of course, Zong Zhensheng never dreamed that the Japanese pirates he sent out had been wiped out by the Ming army in Liaodong, and it was impossible to come back.

"Nothing is impossible. The leader of North Korea, Li Fangyuan, is not so easy to bully. There is a giant like Da Ming behind him. When they left, I told them not to provoke Da Ming easily, otherwise it may lead to disaster."

The middle-aged samurai spoke again at this time.

His name is Hayata Zaemon, the leader of the Japanese pirates, and also the leader of the samurai around Zong Zhensheng. The clan and the Japanese pirates are originally one, and the entire Tsushima Island is also the lair of the Japanese pirates.

"Da Ming? That's just a clumsy giant. The brothers who go to the south of Daming from me are said to be much better at mixing than ours."

Zong Zhensheng smiled disdainfully.

He admitted that Da Ming is very powerful, but the stronger he is, the more he can't do anything about them. Even because of them, Da Ming had to blockade the entire coast and forbid his own people to go to sea, which is extremely stupid.

"Patriarch, don't underestimate Da Ming, maybe they will make mistakes, but they are strong enough, even if they make a hundred mistakes, it won't affect us, but as long as they make one correct decision, it's enough for us to endure the disaster!"

Hayata said solemnly.

Compared with Zong Zhensheng, Hayata knew Daming better, because he had gone south to the coast of Daming in his early years, and he had fought against Daming's navy many times. He knew that the Ming army was terrible. It was just that the Ming court didn't use its own army correctly, so they took advantage of it.

"Okay, Daming is far away from us, no matter how powerful they are, it is impossible for them to fly over."

Zong Zhensheng waved his hands impatiently.

"Sovereign, the 2000 troops we sent out must have encountered some accident. Now that the island is empty of troops, we still need to make plans early!"

Hayata stopped mentioning Daming, but changed the topic back.

"That's a problem. 2000 people are lost like this. What a bunch of useless guys!"

Zong Zhensheng cursed angrily at the end, then thought about it before gritted his teeth.

"There is no other way, I can only write a letter to Kyushu and ask them to send more people over!"

Zong Zhensheng's sphere of influence is only a small Tsushima Island, which can't support many people at all, but there is Kyushu Island behind him, and whenever Tsushima Island is short of manpower, it will recruit people from Kyushu Island to supplement.

Especially this year when Kyushu Island encountered natural disasters, the grain production dropped drastically. Zong Zhensheng sent 2000 people to plunder before. In fact, he wanted to grab more food and transport it to Kyushu Island.

"It can only be like this, but if Kyushu knows that we have lost so many manpower and ships, they will definitely send people to inquire. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

Saying that, Hayata frowned.

Kyushu is the backer behind them. If they do too badly and those backers blame them, Zong Zhensheng and Hayata will definitely be blamed. In serious cases, Kyushu may send someone to take over Tsushima Island.

"Don't worry, there is a natural disaster in Kyushu. Several daimyos have been fighting endlessly. There are wandering warriors and civilians everywhere. They are worrying that they have no place to house these people. They will definitely send them over as soon as possible."

Zong Zhensheng said with a smug smile.

Although he was just a pawn pushed to the foreground, he had already figured out the situation in Kyushu, and their clan had been operating in Tsushima Island for so long, and it was by no means easy to be replaced.

When Zong Zhensheng was talking to Zaotian, he suddenly saw a small black spot appearing on the sea in the distance. As the black spot got closer and closer, he realized that it was actually a fast boat.

"There is a boat!"

Hayata was the first to spot the fast boat on the sea, and immediately yelled in surprise.

At the same time, Hayata also discovered that the boat at sea was a fast boat that they often used when they went out to sea to plunder, which made him feel a little hopeful. Could it be that the 2000 people sent out before have returned?

Zong Zhensheng was also very pleasantly surprised to see the fast boat approaching, and immediately came to the pier, only to see that the boat had already entered the port, but Zong Zhensheng and Hayata were both taken aback when they saw the people on board.

"Gecheng Erlang? Why are you back?"

Zong Zhensheng and Hayata asked almost at the same time, Ge Cheng Erlang was the one who had escaped from Zhu Zhanhe's hands on board.

Katsurai Erlang also stayed in Tsushima Island for several years back then, and later ventured south and became the leader of the Japanese pirates. He also led his men to Tsushima Island many times, first to sell stolen goods, and second to recruit subordinates, so both Zong Zhensheng and Hayata knew him.

Before Ge Chengerlang's boat stopped, he rushed to Zong Zhensheng on the shore anxiously and shouted: "Patriarch Zong, did you send someone to Liaodong in Daming?"

"how do you know?"

Zong Zhensheng also asked in surprise when he heard the words.

"It really is you, don't wait, your fleet has been wiped out!"

Gecheng Erlang said with a sigh.
