Chapter 335 The Battle of Tsushima Island
On Tsushima Island, ship after ship of Japanese people was transported from Kyushu, which greatly alleviated the shortage of troops on the island.

Before Zong Zhensheng sent most of his troops to North Korea and the coast of Daming to plunder, but he did not expect to be wiped out by Ming in Liaodong, resulting in a very empty troop on Tsushima Island.

Now with the arrival of these people, it is finally possible to replenish the troops on the island.

Most of these people who came to Tsushima Island were bankrupt warriors and farmers. They could do whatever they wanted as long as they had a bite to eat. Therefore, Zong Zhensheng recruited an army of 2000 people in a short period of time. With simple drills, you can go out to plunder again by boat.

Ge Chengerlang's life has been unsatisfactory recently. He came to Tsushima Island to recruit subordinates, but now Zong Zhensheng lacks men, so Zong Zhensheng naturally has to pick people from Kyushu first.

Although Ge Cheng Erlang found Zong Zhensheng several times, and even gave him a big gift, hoping that the other party would let him go and give him some manpower, but Zong Zhensheng only gave him a little manpower after accepting the gift, which made him recruit now. Two hundred people.

"This damn Zong Zhensheng!"

Ge Cheng Erlang cursed secretly, wishing to kill the other party with one knife, but this is Tsushima Island, which completely belongs to the clan's world, if Ge Cheng Erlang really killed Zong Zhensheng, it is absolutely impossible for Ge Cheng Erlang to leave alive.

Thinking of this, Ge Chengerlang was even more aggrieved, and finally he simply left his residence and came to the pier to relax.

Coincidentally, as soon as Ge Chengerlang arrived at the port, he saw a new fleet docking at the port, and then a group of ragged Japanese came off the ship, and everyone was a little nervous.

Looking at these Japanese people who just came from Kyushu, Ge Chengerlang was also very jealous. If all these people were given to him, he would be able to recover his strength in a few days, and then he would return to the coast of Daming and continue to be his overlord of the sea.

Unfortunately, people from the Zong family were guarding the pier. Without Zong Zhensheng's consent, Ge Cheng Erlang couldn't get in touch with these people, let alone recruit them.

Now Ge Cheng Erlang can only wait patiently. When Zong Zhensheng's manpower is full and he can't eat anymore, the rest will be his.

"what?"

But at this moment, Ge Cheng Erlang was taken aback suddenly, because he saw another fleet appeared behind the port.

At first, only the masts could be seen, but as the fleet approached, huge warships appeared on the sea.

When he saw these familiar warships, Ge Chengerlang's eyes widened all of a sudden, with an expression of disbelief all over his face.

"Ming...the warship of the Ming army!"

Ge Cheng Erlang roared, and immediately warned the people of the Zong family on the pier. Although he hated the Zong family for not giving it to others, but now the two sides are like grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can do without the other.

Following Ge Chengerlang's roar, the people on the pier finally saw the huge warships on the sea in the distance, which shocked many clan members. Many of them had only heard that Daming's warships were huge. , but this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes.

"What are you doing in a daze, prepare for battle and meet the enemy!"

Seeing the people on the pier in a daze, Ge Cheng Erlang yelled again angrily, and then ran away. He was going to inform Zong Zhensheng, after all, he couldn't command the people of the Zong family at all.

Zong Zhensheng and Hayata are practicing the recruited Japanese. On the surface, these Japanese belong to the army of the clan, but in fact they are a group of Japanese pirates.

As a result, at this moment, Ge Cheng Erlang ran in in a panic and shouted: "It's not good, the Ming army is here!"

Zong Zhensheng and Hayata were all taken aback when they heard the words, and after confirming that Ge Chengerlang was not joking, they rushed to the pier immediately.

It was only then that Ge Chengerlang realized that what he saw just now was only a small part of the Ming warships, and now the Ming warships appeared so densely that they almost covered the entire surface of the sea.

"Why... how come there are so many?"

Zong Zhensheng looked at the dark Ming warships and was dumbfounded in shock. They only had a few thousand troops in Tsushima Island. Is it necessary to use such a huge fleet to attack them?

At the same time, Zhu Zhanhe stood on the bow of a flagship in the Deming Fleet, looking at Tsushima Island in the distance.

"Your Majesty, Tsushima Island is located between North Korea and Kyushu. It is an important traffic route between the two countries. If you want to attack Kyushu, you must first take Tsushima Island!"

A stout North Korean general next to him pointed to Tsushima Island in front and introduced to Zhu Zhanhe.

This Korean general was named Li Congmao, and Li Fangyuan sent him to lead more than 1 Korean troops to assist Ming Dynasty in attacking Kyushu.

Li Congmao is also a famous general in North Korea. He has repelled the Japanese pirates' attacks many times, and he knows the Japanese pirates very well. He even collected information on Tsushima Island and Kyushu, so Zhu Zhanhe will be transferred to his side to help himself and Zhang Fu Perfect the plan to attack Kyushu.

"How many pirates are there on the island?"

Zhu Zhanhe took a look at Tsushima Island before asking.

"Mostly three or four thousand. Last time their main force was wiped out in Liaodong, the troops on the island should be very empty now."

Li Congmao replied immediately.

Zhu Zhanhe nodded when he heard the words, then suddenly looked at Li Congmao and said, "I heard that the king of North Korea was secretly accumulating strength to attack Tsushima Island?"

"Uh... this... yes, Tsushima surrendered to us before, and was willing to do legitimate business with us, but since Zong Zhensheng took over the position of Patriarch, he has become more and more brutal, and often robbed us for no reason. , so we cut off communication with them, and even prepared to attack Tsushima Island.”

Li Congmao hesitated for a moment and finally replied.

This is a North Korean secret, but he did not expect that the crown prince would know it, so Li Congmao wondered if someone in North Korea leaked this secret to please Daming?

"Very good, since you originally planned to attack Tsushima Island, why don't you let General Li send troops this time and directly capture Tsushima Island!"

Zhu Zhanhe said with a smile.

The troops on the island are empty. Li Congmao has more than 1 North Korean troops and hundreds of warships. Although they are all small warships, it should be very easy to take Tsushima Island.

"The last will obey!"

Li Congmao immediately agreed when he heard the words. He had already studied the terrain and force distribution of Tsushima Island, and he was still very confident in taking Tsushima Island.

So Li Congmao immediately returned to his warship. Following his order, more than 200 Korean warships took the lead and rushed directly to the port of Tsushima Island.

Facing the overwhelming sea power of Ming and North Korea, Zong Zhensheng and others did not dare to go to sea at all, because the performance gap between the warships of the two sides was too great, and they would only die when they got to sea, so it was better to stick to the port and prevent the other party from landing.
