My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 338 The Kikuchi Family

Gecheng Erlang is an extremely tough person. He was only a teenager when his parents starved to death, so he wandered around with his younger brother Gecheng Goro who had just turned ten.

Once, for five days in a row, the brothers hadn't eaten a single grain of rice. In order to fight for several rice balls, he fought a duel. As a result, he was cut in the stomach and his intestines flowed out.

But even so, Ge Chengerlang still struggled to survive. In his life, he never knew what despair was.

Even though his subordinates were wiped out by Zhu Zhanhe and even his younger brother was killed, Ge Chengerlang still did not give up. He traveled thousands of miles to Tsushima Island, ready to recruit his subordinates to start over.

Even now that he is in a cage, Ge Cheng Erlang still does not give up the hope of living, and tries to convince Zhu Zhanhe that he is still useful.

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Ge Chengerlang's eyes full of desire to survive through the iron fence, and suddenly felt that this person might be really useful, so he smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance, what help can you provide us?" ?”

"My lord, you led a large number of warships here this time, it must not be for this small island of Tsushima!"

Ge Chengerlang was excited, but he still tried to keep his expression calm, and then said slowly.

"Oh? Then what do you think we are for?"

Zhu Zhanhe neither admitted nor denied, but asked rhetorically again.

"The prince hates us people very much. When he attacked my water village, he was merciless. This time, the attack on Tsushima Island also allowed the North Koreans to open the way, and did not leave a way for the people on the island to survive. Moreover, the prince was still there just now. Ask Zong Zhensheng, who is behind him?"

Ge Chengerlang paused suddenly when he said this, and then continued.

"From this, I guess that the real target of the prince leading the army is likely to be Kyushu Island. As long as we control it, we will never want to go south to plunder again!"

"clever!"

Zhu Zhanhe clapped his hands and praised, Ge Chengerlang was able to infer the purpose of his troops through these superficial things, with this vision, no wonder he became the leader of the Japanese pirates.

"Since the goal of the son's trip is Kyushu, you can't kill me, because I can provide you with greater help, and even allow you to capture Kyushu Island more smoothly!"

Ge Chengerlang said more confidently at this time.

"Oh? Then I want to hear your reason!"

Zhu Zhanhe asked again with interest.

Ge Cheng Erlang is just a small person, his life and death does not affect the overall situation, but if he can really help Daming take Kyushu, it is not impossible to save his life for the time being.

"Just now Zong Zhensheng said that the person behind him is the Otomo family. In fact, he is lying at all, because the Zong family is actually a remnant of the Southern Dynasty. Although the Otomo family supported the Southern Dynasty in the past, they later betrayed the Southern Dynasty. The remnants hate the Dayou family the most!"

Ge Chengerlang paused at this point, and then continued.

"So Zong Zhensheng said that the person behind him is the Otomo family, which is a complete lie. The person behind him is actually the Kikuchi family!"

Hearing Ge Cheng Erlang mention the three words Juchi, Zong Zhensheng struggled even more fiercely behind him, but it was a pity that Zhu Zhanhe didn't bother to talk to him.

"The Juchi family? I've heard that they seem to be Prince Huailiang's loyal confidants."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded when he heard the words.

In the future, the war between the Southern and Northern Dynasties ended with the failure of the Southern Dynasty, and Prince Huailiang was the representative of the Southern Dynasty. At that time, he held the power of the entire Kyushu Island, and the Juchi family was the most important force under Prince Huailiang.

"That's right, the Juchi family has been following Prince Huailiang. Back then, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to Kyushu to ask Prince Huailiang to restrain the Japanese and not allow them to go to sea to become pirates, but the envoys were killed by Prince Huailiang. , Your Majesty must know about this, right?"

Ge Chengerlang asked with a hey smile at the end.

"There is such a thing!"

Zhu Zhanhe's face darkened, Ming's envoy was killed by the Japanese kingdom, this is definitely an extremely bad thing, but at that time the main enemy of Ming was Meng Yuan, although Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed and even wanted to send troops for a while, but in the end he endured After that, Japan was also listed as not being expropriated.

"Hehe, in fact, Emperor Taizu was deceived by others. It was not Prince Huailiang who killed the envoy of Ming Dynasty, but the Juchi clan!"

Ge Chengerlang smiled proudly and revealed a secret that few people knew.

"What? You said that the Juchi clan killed my Ming envoy?"

Zhu Zhanhe was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that Prince Huailiang retired long before Emperor Taizu sent envoys, but at that time some big names in Kyushu still acted in his name, and Daming didn't know the inside story of the Wa Kingdom, so he was naturally easy to be deceived. "

Gecheng Erlang explained.

"I see!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded, thinking about it carefully, this is actually not surprising, because at that time Daming knew very little about the Wa country, and he didn't even know who the king of the Wa country was.

"The Juchi family killed Ming's envoys, and later saw that it was profitable to trade with Daming and pay tribute, so they paid tribute to Daming in the name of Prince Huailiang, but in private they supported Zong Zhensheng and others to go to sea to plunder Daming, which can explain They make money both inside and out, and behind all of this, there is the figure of the Juchi family."

Ge Chengjiro broke the news again.

"What a shameless Kikuchi family!"

Zhu Zhanhe's teeth itched when he heard the words, who would have thought that behind the Japanese pirates and the Japanese paying tribute were actually the same group of people.

"The Kikuchi family was the first to support those of us going to sea, but later other daimyos in Kyushu saw that it was profitable to go to sea to plunder, so they followed suit one after another, so now except for the Kikuchi family, other daimyos in Kyushu are also involved, but More or less the difference."

Gecheng Erlang said again.

Between words, in fact, it is telling Zhu Zhanhe that the names of the entire Kyushu are not clean, so if Daming attacks Kyushu, there is no need to distinguish at all.

"very good!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded expressionlessly, then looked directly at Ge Cheng Erlang and said.

"Thank you for the information you provided. This information is very useful to me, but where can you help me?"

"My lord, although the daimyos on Kyushu Island are separated, and there are even a lot of filth with the Ashikaga shogunate, after all, this belongs to our domestic conflict. If you lead the Ming army to Kyushu Island now, my lord, it will definitely trigger the resistance of the entire Japanese country. At that time, what you have to face may not only be the daimyos on Kyushu Island."

Ge Cheng Erlang analyzed for Zhu Zhanhe with a dignified expression.

"This is indeed a problem, so what can you do?"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded first, and then asked again, since Ge Cheng Erlang pointed out this problem, there must be a solution.
