Chapter 635 Susa Silver Mine
As soon as Ii Naotaka died, the morale of the Japanese army, which was already low, was completely messed up.

The leaders of the Japanese army each found acquaintances to discuss what to do next?And the soldiers of the Japanese army at the bottom shrank in the fart place of Tsushima Island. These later troops, whose military discipline was not very good, suddenly lost control, and under the atmosphere of panic, they often made some outrageous actions. matter.

The big names from all over the world are not in harmony. Those two sides who had conflicts in the past disliked each other, and it became a natural thing to start from talking to fighting and using weapons.

Also, even in the army in the same place, soldiers who have conflicts with each other are often filled with hostility and eventually vent it.

As a result, throughout Tsushima Island, there were endless incidents of brawls, group fights, and weapon fights.The leader of the Japanese is always annoying. When encountering such a thing, he will naturally not deal with it patiently, and the result will often encourage the continuation of the chaos.

Later, a few Japanese soldiers slaughtered a cow native to Tsushima Island and ate it.After hearing the news, the aborigines who rushed there were powerful, and immediately tied up the Japanese soldiers who stole the cattle for public display.

The Japanese in the barracks couldn't find a punching bag to vent their anger, so the two sides naturally fought.After being jealous, no matter what the natives were relatives of Lord Tsushima, they directly killed him with a knife.

In the beginning, it killed the aborigines of that family, but later, it began to expand.When the Japanese leader heard the news and arrived, more than half of the aborigines in Tsushima were slaughtered.

Regarding this situation, Zong Yicheng was so angry that his eyes were about to burst.At this time, he regretted very much, why did he choose the Japanese side?
Such a big loss, if he admits it, he can't give an explanation to those subordinates, so without saying a word, he immediately boarded a boat and went to Edo to ask Tokugawa Iemitsu for an explanation.

Seeing this situation, those daimyos simply did not do anything, directly killed all the natives on Tsushima Island, robbed all their belongings, and dispersed in a crowd, each leading their troops and fleeing back to their fiefdoms.

This incident was known as the "Tsuima Tragedy" in history.

The next day, Zheng Zhilong found that there seemed to be something wrong on Tsushima Island, so he brought the navy to check again.It turned out that Tsushima was such a big island, and there was not a single living Japanese.

So, this situation was quickly reported to Lu Xiangsheng.For this reason, Lu Xiangsheng also personally boarded Tsushima Island to check the situation.

To be honest, it's not that Lu Xiangsheng has never seen such massacres caused by military disasters.In this regard, he said to Li Dingguo and others who were following behind him: "See, the Japanese are cruel, and they can compete with Jianlu. If we want the people of Ming Dynasty to be protected from their harm, the army must work hard to protect the people of Ming Dynasty and eliminate them. Japanese pirates!"

After some patriotic education, Lu Xiangsheng dispatched troops to collect all the indigenous corpses of Tsushima Island, incinerated them, dug a big pit and buried them, and erected a tombstone: Tomb of the People of Tsushima Island.There is also a stele, which records the general situation of this incident, letting the world know the ferocity of the Japanese.

After finishing all these tasks, Lu Xiangsheng ordered that the prisoners of the Japanese army be transferred from the Korean mainland to build and renovate Tsushima Island, and to build Tsushima Island into an expedition point for conquering Japan in the future.

However, the cold winter is coming soon, and the land is frozen tightly. It is a bit unrealistic to dig soil, but it is still possible to do logging, reconstruction and expansion of the dock.Although it was cold enough, it didn't matter that it wasn't the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who suffered from the cold.

Lu Xiangsheng stood on the high place of the pier, not afraid of the cold wind, straightened up and watched the Japanese prisoners working, and continued to think about his own affairs.

Now tens of thousands of troops are stationed in southern North Korea, including Tsushima Island, and the court has spent a lot of money.How to reduce the burden on the court as well?

If Lu Xiangsheng was simply a general, he would not have considered such things at all.However, he is a civil servant, a great official in the frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, and he holds military and political power, so he naturally has to consider this aspect.

The Ryukyu Kingdom asked Daming for help, but now it can take this opportunity to help the Ryukyu drive away the Japanese pirates, so that the army will not be left idle.In addition, it is also possible to station part of the army in Ryukyu, so that the supply of food and grass for this part of the army will be handled by the Ryukyu Kingdom, which can save some burdens on the court.

Just as Lu Xiangsheng was thinking about these things, suddenly, a Japanese man jumped out of the working Japanese captives and ran towards Lu Xiangsheng.The soldiers of the Ming army who supervised the work were startled when they saw it, and immediately chased after it.

On Lu Xiangsheng's side, no one panicked.The Japanese who wanted to assassinate the governor head-on were probably never born!However, the responsibilities that should be fulfilled must still be fulfilled.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's personal guards, they immediately drew their swords forward and blocked Lu Xiangsheng.

Seeing that the Japanese man was about to be overtaken by the soldiers of the Ming army behind him, he suddenly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Lu Xiangsheng, and shouted loudly in Ming official language: "I have something important to report to my lord, my little one!" People have important things to do..."

While speaking, the soldiers of the Ming army who were chasing after him had already caught up with him, put one hand on his shoulder, and pushed him to the ground.

To be honest, when such a thing happened in front of the governor, even if it happened suddenly, it would embarrass these soldiers who were responsible for overseeing the work.

Although the Japanese man was pressed down, with his face stuck to the cold ground, he still shouted: "The villain has something important to report to the adult, and the villain has something important to do..."

Zheng Zhilong, who was standing next to him, stared at the Japanese man for a while. He felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw the appearance of this Japanese man, he was also a little curious, and immediately ordered lightly: "Let him go, let him finish his sentence."

"Obey!" The soldiers of the Ming army who were holding him down immediately responded and retreated behind the Japanese man.But he was ready to make another move at any time, and he didn't dare to let this Japanese man do anything wrong.

The Japanese man straightened up again, with dirt still stuck to his face, but he didn't care about it. He knelt there and said loudly to Lu Xiangsheng: "I want to be the supervisor of those Japanese people, and I will never dare to be lazy when supervising them. As long as the adults agree, the villain will I am willing to offer you a silver mine!”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard the request from this Japanese man at first, he was a little speechless, and he even ran over and said that he wanted to be a supervisor.But then, when he heard the second half of the Japanese man's words, he was shocked: silver mine?

When he came back to his senses, Lu Xiangsheng was of course very interested, and immediately asked: "Where is the silver mine? If there is really a silver mine, I can grant your request."

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong suddenly remembered who this person was, and immediately approached Lu Xiangsheng and said in a low voice: "My lord, this person is a retainer of Tsushima lord Zong Yicheng, who was ordered to falsely spread the news of the Japanese army before." , it should be Zong Yicheng's confidant."

That's right, this Japanese is Liu Bide. Before that, he was one of the Japanese sent by Zong Yicheng to lead the Japanese Navy as a guide.Unfortunately, he was captured by the Ming army shortly after landing.

After being escorted back to Tsushima Island, Liu Bide discovered that the entire population of Tsushima Island had been slaughtered by the defeated Japanese army, including his relatives.For this, he almost went crazy.

Of course, he had inquired about Lu Xiangsheng's official position and personality, and he felt that his request was not high, and it should be no problem for the Ming army to win silver mines, so he gave it a go.

At this time, he got Lu Xiangsheng's promise, and he immediately said: "My lord, there is a silver mine in Tsushima Island, but the silver it contains is not a lot, far less than the Iwami Silver Mine, so it has not been excavated. If the adults are willing, the villains are willing to dedicate this silver mine."

The first silver mine in Japan was actually on Tsushima Island.

Before Wanyan Aguda led Jurchen to rise, Jurchen was ruled by the Liao Kingdom.At that time, when Jurchen was not strong enough, they did not dare to seize the Liao Kingdom, nor could they seize the Song Dynasty.Goryeo, including North Korea, had wars with the Liao Dynasty, and it was relatively powerful at that time.Therefore, the Jurchens turned their ideas to the Wa country.

In the third year of Tianxi in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, in 1019, three thousand Jurchens attacked Tsushima Island with fifty warships, and after the looting, they burned the Tsushima Silver Mine.Later, these Jurchens also attacked the mainland of the Wa Kingdom, landed on Kyushu Island, and returned with a full load after plundering.

Lu Xiangsheng is well-known and strong-minded, and has also seen this incident in history in miscellaneous notes.Therefore, after listening to it, I knew that the Japanese man probably did not lie, so he said happily: "Whether the mine is rich or poor, as long as you are willing to donate, I can grant your request."

As long as there is silver to be dug up, anyway, there are captives who can use it, and the dug up silver can be used to subsidize the military, which is a windfall!

"My lord, this silver mine is in Xu Zuo." Liu Bide said here, remembering that the Ming army probably didn't know where Xu Zuo was, so he quickly added, "Your Excellency can send someone, and the villain will lead the way. There will be fakes."

After Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he asked Lu Da to bring some Ming army soldiers with him to verify the situation.

As soon as they left, Zheng Zhilong said to Lu Xiangsheng: "My lord, judging from the hatred this Japanese has for other Japanese, he probably wants to avenge his people. Digging silver mines will kill more people and kill those Japanese; as a supervisor , can justifiably whip those Japanese..."

Hearing his explanation, Lu Xiangsheng nodded, not caring about it.It can even be said that he can understand the motivation of this Japanese.Since he took those Japanese captives so fiercely, he probably worked harder, which was a good thing for Daming, so let him go.

Subsequent events proved that the Susan Silver Mine did exist, and it was not a bonanza.In the original history, it was Zongyicheng's son who mined Susanoo Silver Mine when he was unable to make money from trade.Now, it's Daming mining.

Seeing the first batch of golden sands in front of him, even Lu Xiangsheng felt a little hopeful about Sichuan, so he immediately asked Zheng Zhilong, "You are familiar with the country of Wa, how about Shijian Yinshan?"

　The weather is too cold, although the alarm clock rang in the morning, but I really can't get up to type, so this chapter is updated late.It's going to be colder tomorrow, so I don't know if I can get up tomorrow morning.
