The Ming Dynasty was having a hard time, and its vassal, the Korean Kingdom, was also having a hard time. The reasons for the two declines were similar. Politics and party strife were endless, the administration was dim, and the power struggle between various parties within the palace became increasingly fierce. There were repeated coups and peasant uprisings. Under such circumstances, it is really not flattering how much execution power can be achieved. Coupled with the frequent attacks by Japanese pirates, the Korean Kingdom's control over the local area has become increasingly weak. Tamna Island has long lost its glory and once again became a place of exile for prisoners of the Korean Kingdom.
But after today, Tamna Island will once again become the focus of the Joseon Kingdom. At least it will be often mentioned in the leisure time of the party and government. A kingdom that has lost hundreds of years of time has raised its flag on Tamna Island, telling Everyone, Tamna Island will no longer belong to the Kingdom of Korea.
The reason why Matsuura Takanobu is eyeing Tamna Island is very simple. As long as someone has a ship and occupies Tamna Island, he will have nothing to worry about and will fight against whoever comes. Yes, in the eyes of Matsuura Takanobu, the few small broken ships of the Korean Kingdom are really not in his eyes.
What¡¯s more, Tamna Island is still a famous ranch. Even though it has long lost its former glory, it is said that there are still thousands of Jeju ponies. Yes, this is a horse breed that is even shorter than the Japanese horse. In Japan, sometimes quantity is more important than quality.
The most important thing for Matsuura Takanobu to focus on Tamna Island is the horses on it. As long as he sends thousands of Jeju ponies to the Date family, no matter how big the offense is, it will not be a problem. Not to mention there is a big ranch.
Now that the Hirado Matsuura family is in danger, it is naturally impossible for Matsuura Takanobu to go there in person to seek a future, and he is worried about sending his retainers there. Who knows if there will be someone he cares about, and after many choices, he finally chose his eldest son. Taro Matsuura.
Matsuura Taro, historically, was renamed Matsuura Jinnobu due to the slander of Otomo Gi-jin. Due to the intervention of Otomo Gi-jin, Matsuura Takanobu had to retire in his prime. Matsuura Jinnobu inherited the family business. He was a famous general with both civil and military skills. He was especially fond of Japanese songs. . In several decisions related to the direction of Hirado, Matsuura Jinnobu chose the winner. In the end, he not only saved the family business, but also made some progress. With the struggle of him and his descendants, the Matsuura family of Hirado finally reached the end of the Tokugawa period. It still retains huge influence at that time.
Taro Matsuura is only fourteen years old and is still a minor. He cannot be the actual commander of this fleet. He is more of a symbol. Matsuura Takanobu sent two men, Ta Yasuki and Momono Hyogo, to assist him.
Although Shisa Junmoto shined at the military meeting, it was his shine that made Matsuura Takanobu uneasy about entrusting him with such an important matter. Instead, he gave the cager Ta Yasukune, who had always been opposed to him, as his deputy. , Momono Hyogo is in charge of logistics.
Momono Hyogo is the posthumous son of Matsuura Takanobu's uncle Momono Hyogo nosuke. After Momono Hyogo's death, he was adopted by Matsuura Yusei. He grew up with Matsuura Takanobu and they are brothers and sisters. Although he is not good at martial arts, he is still important. loyalty. With him watching, Matsuura Takanobu safely entrusted Matsuura Taro to him and let him take care of him.
Matsuura Takanobu gave the order, and Matsuura Taro, Goteda Yasukune, and Momono Hyogo led the fleet to set off from Hirado Port. Everyone underestimated Matsuura Takanobu's determination, and they were all caught off guard by Matsuura Takanobu's sharp blow, even if they knew about it afterwards. Zhengheng was equally at a loss.
Taro Matsuura was still young, but he already had his father's style. After receiving his father's order, he did not stop or go around the corner. Instead, he went straight to the location of the Jeju Mu Yamen. All the fishing boats he encountered along the way were sunk, leaving nothing behind. No worries.
The Matsuura Party was accustomed to plundering. When they heard that they were going to attack the Korean Kingdom, they immediately became excited. They wanted to fight. They were finally going to make a big deal. Since the Wufeng captain Wang Zhi was beheaded and his successors wreaked havoc in the Central Plains, the Matsuura Party had not been mobilized for many years and had all faded away.
After hearing Matsuura Takanobu's order, the Matsuura party members did not hesitate at all, nor did they get into trouble as Matsuura Takanobu imagined. Instead, they were extremely excited and screamed. In their eyes, the Koreans were all weaklings and only knew how to do it. Hiding in the city walls and shivering.
In the past, there were not many people dispatched, so there was no good way to deal with the city. They could only plunder the countryside outside the city, and the money was not rich. Now, they have dispatched 70 or 80 ships, large and small, with more than a thousand soldiers, plus 2,000 sailors and auxiliary troops. With more than half of the Hirado Matsuura family members invested, they had an overwhelming advantage. Even if it was Seoul in the Kingdom of Korea, they would dare to break into it, let alone Tamna Island where there were only a few old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers.
The Matsuura Party was already familiar with the navigation route of the Kingdom of Korea, but they still did not take it lightly. On the third day after setting off from Hirado Port, the fleet finally arrived at Tamna Island. Taro Matsuura looked at the vast green island, and finally let go of the only uneasiness in his heart. As long as they get to the island, with their strength, they don't have to worry about being kicked off the island again.?
Having arrived at Tamna Island, what should I do next? Taro Matsuura was not sure and had no clue. He immediately ordered people to call in Yasukune Rado and Momono Hyogo, as well as the bow generals of each fleet to discuss what to do next to be more secure.
Yes, the Songura Party came today not to plunder, but to plunder and leave after one vote. They wanted to gain a foothold on Tamna Island, which meant that they would never leave after landing on the island. Tamna Island became one of the three burrows of the Matsuura family.
Matsuura Takanobu¡¯s occupation of Tamna Island was primarily for the restoration of Baekje. In essence, it could be a gift to the Date family, allowing the Matsuura family to continue to retain Hirado. Otherwise, it could also be Matsuura Takanobu¡¯s retreat.
Although Cage Tian Yasukune and Shisa Jungen were at loggerheads at the meeting, they were left alone by Matsuura Takanobu after the meeting. Matsuura Takanobu told him everything in his mind and finally entrusted Matsuura Taro to him. he.
With such trust, even the slightest dissatisfaction has long since disappeared. Knowing that Matsuura Takanobu's final words were the words of his confidant, Kauteda Yasukune agreed naturally. After he entered the cabin, he saw people arriving one after another. He first paid tribute to Taro Matsuura as master and servant, and then said in a loud voice: "Now that we have arrived at Tamna Island, I would like to ask the young master to inform everyone of the master's plan, so as to Peace of mind.¡±
Taro Matsuura knew that this was Gouteda Ansuke asking him to establish the title of master and servant, so he naturally did not shirk and began to reveal all Matsuura Takanobu's strategies. Everyone heard that Matsuura Takanobu wanted to revive the Baekje Kingdom on Tamna Island. There was a commotion.
Some people don¡¯t even know where Baekje is, but the only thing everyone knows is that when they come to Tamna Island, they will no longer just leave with one vote, but will occupy Tamna Island for a long time. Some thoughtful people also thought of seizing the land of the Joseon Kingdom in the name of Baekje Kingdom in the future.
