Chapter 244

: The Scale

"Lord Zongyi, so many warships from the Tang people gather here, so many materials are transported on board, it seems that they are going to attack our Japan soon!"

At this time, outside the port of Busan, Zong Yixiang, the confidant envoy sent by Zong Yizhi, had brought a few followers to the shore with a team of Ming troops. The situation in front of them made everyone feel furious. Huang Laifu did not avoid these Japanese people watching, using his strength to defeat the tricks of thunder, and a dignified army. No matter how much the other party peeped, it would be useless, but could give them more power.

"Yes, the Tang Dynasty is about to launch a battle, I hope this peace talks will be successful, otherwise our Tsuma Island will end up burning together!"

The priesthood is genuine and worrying.

Soon, under the escort of the Ming army, they entered the city of Busan. The dense military camps inside and outside the city, which stretched for dozens of miles, made them breathe abruptly. The Ming army was so powerful that they could not resist it no matter how hard they hoped that this mission would be successful.

...

In the Admiral's Mansion in Busan City, Huang Laifu met the envoy of Tsushima Island, Zong Yixiang. Huang Laifu was precious, so he naturally had no time to talk to them. His tone was tough and there was no place to turn around. On and off Tsushima Island, he had to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and the time was set on the fifth day of the lunar month.

No matter what Zong Yizhi thought, the Ming army's warships would land on Dapu Port on Tsushima Island that day. If Zong Yi surrendered, Huang Laifu would save the lives of all their clans. Otherwise, once they landed by force, the entire Zong Yi family would be destroyed.

The envoy of Tsushima Island, Zong Yixiang, had no chance to tell the difference, so he had to sweat heavily and hurried back with Huang Laifu's ultimatum.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month of the 27th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty first dispatched more than 100 warships to land on Tsushima Island. The governor of the Tsushima Island family, Yoshima Island, led the entire tribe to kneel down on the dock and surrender. The Ming army obtained the important stronghold of Tsushima Island without any effort.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Ming Dynasty army successfully landed in Nagou House, Japan. This trip escorted more than 300 warships and more than 20,000 coalition troops, including Deng Zilong, the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, who led 5,000 Jiangsu and Zhejiang infantrymen. They had rich experience in dealing with the Japanese army, so they were the first candidates to land in Japan. In addition, there was also the North Korean general Park In-lao, who led more than 10,000 Korean troops.

Although Nagoya was operated by Japan for many years and used as a stronghold for attacking North Korea, Kato Kiyomasa is now defending the city. There are thousands of troops, but they are all without fighting spirit. They are captured in less than a day. Kato Kiyomasa fled in a panic. The main force of the siege this time was the Korean army. The Ming army was just behind the back, and it seemed to vent the resentment of these years. These Korean soldiers turned against their cowardice at home and became extremely brave, without any casualties.

After they captured Nagu House, they massacred the city for several days. The corpses in the city were piled up. Even tens of thousands of Japanese around, regardless of gender, age, were killed by them. They killed wildly, and even Deng Zilong could not stop them. Deng Zilong replied to Huang Laifu in private, saying that the madness and cruel methods of the Korean army were shocking.

The news of Nagoya Castle being destroyed and being massacred spread, and the whole of Japan was shocked, and everyone said, "The revenge of the Tang people and the Goryeo people is coming!"

Within the next few days, until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Ming Dynasty army landed as many as 50,000, and the subsequent Ming Dynasty army continued to come. On the 17th, thousands of Ming army landed in Hot Springs, easily captured Tottori Castle of Ishimi Kingdom and controlled Ishimi Ginshan. The Daimyo Mori family in the area had no power to resist.

At this time, he also saw Governor Xiaoxi behind Huang Laifu. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. So Yoshichi had a good relationship with Governor Xiaoxi. Governor Xiaoxi was also a businessman. He and So Yoshichi joined forces with Tomoma Island and used to operate cross-border trade with the Ming Dynasty in North Korea. Both of them made a fortune. Now both of them have become prisoners, which can be said to be sympathetic and sympathetic, but they can be saved.

The personal guards brought the horses for Huang Laifu, and the crowd rushed to Yanyuan City on the island. Along the way, the Japanese residents on the island knelt on both sides to greet each other with fear.

This is the first time Huang Laifu has come to Japan in this time and space. I have heard that the Japanese are short and are fully reflected here. Generally, regardless of gender, these Japanese are about 1.3 meters tall, 4 meters tall, 1.5 meters tall, or 1.6 meters tall, all of them are tall. At first glance, they look like they have arrived in a dwarf country.

According to historical records, among the famous Japanese Warring States generals, few of them were taller than 1.6 meters. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was less than 1.5 meters tall, Tokugawa Ieyasu was 1.5 meters tall, and Kenno Uesugi was 1.5 meters tall, only Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Nobugen reached 1.6 meters tall.

At this time, looking at the whole world, due to the increase in population, the average height of the population is small, both in the East and the West, the height of the Ming people is generally not high. The average height of the Japanese is 1.6 meters, the average height of the Japanese is 1.4 meters, and the average height of the Mongolians and the Koreans is 1.5 meters. In the West, the average height of the citizens of Spain, Britain, France and other countries is only 1.6 meters. In the Eight-Nation Alliance, the average height of the Beijingers was higher than the average height of the Prussian soldiers.

The world's population is high. The east is in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, and the west is in the ancient Roman period. At that time, soldiers from Qin, Yan, Han army and other countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period could choose any of them, and their height could reach 1.85 meters and more than 1.9 meters. Even in the Han Dynasty, the average height of Han soldiers was also over 1.85 meters. In the same period, the average height of soldiers in the Roman Empire was also over 1.88 meters and more than 1.9 meters.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the height of the Eastern population has dropped rapidly. The average height of the Song people was 1.65 meters, the Mongolians were 1.5 meters to 1.6 meters, and the same is true for Westerners. After the Industrial Revolution, the height recruitment of soldiers was helplessly reduced from 1.6 meters to 1.6 meters.

Soon, everyone entered Yanyuan City, and the defenders here had been replaced by the Ming army. Although Yanyuan was the center of Tsushima Island, it was just a small town in the Ming Dynasty, with only a few thousand people inside.

Zong Yizhi respectfully welcomed Huang Laifu and others into his private residence, but there was some flavor of Jiangnan in China.

That night, Zong Yizhi and some of his close retainers held a dinner party to entertain the admiral of the Shangguo. Although Zong Yizhi thought the dinner was rich and he tried his best to flatter him, in Huang Laifu's eyes, these meals were just typical simple meals. Nowadays, when the Japanese are extremely poor, they have some famous names. Usually, they usually eat a fish and think it is a sumptuous delicacy.

This is also why there were no eunuchs in the Japanese imperial palace for thousands of years, because the emperor is poorer than Daimyo and cannot afford to support him.

Eating these meals was like chewing wax. Only the subsequent Japanese kid dance performance could be seen. The Japanese short-shot little messengers, with white belts wrapped in their heads, holding round drums and bamboo flutes in their hands, dancing while dancing, and yhoo yelling, which made people fun to watch. However, the next Japanese geisha performance shocked Huang Laifu.

Those Japanese women were wearing Wu clothes with baby bags on their backs, holding small fan, with thick white powder on their faces and black teeth. When they saw them, Huang Laifu shivered. Only Ma Gui, Dong Yiyuan, Chen Zi, Liu Jing and others were very curious. Even the North Korean Marshal Quan Li and other generals were also smiling.

During the meal, Zong Yizhi asked Huang Laifu tentatively about their arrangements for the Madao Sect family. With Huang Laifu's power, what would happen to the Zong family in the future is only a matter of Huang Laifu's words.

In Huang Laifu's consideration, he also needs to form some interest groups in Japan in the future. Governor Konishi and Soyotomo are a good object. He can also show to all sectors of Japan that as long as he cooperates with him, he can get benefits.

He said at the moment: "Zongyi Jun abandons secrets and turns to the light, serves the Celestial Empire, and is loyal and brave. I am determined to report to the emperor that Zongyi Jun will be the island owner of Tsuma Island in the future. After the two countries are peaceful in the future, you can continue to trade with North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Zong Yizhi was overjoyed and kowtowed to Huang Laifu after leaving the seat and said, "Thank you for your kindness, the villain is grateful. He will be determined to serve the adults and go through fire and water, and will never refuse!"

The Yi family of the Yi family of the Ganzong was also very happy.

After that, the atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious. After the banquet ended, Huang Laifu only rested in the mansion. Zong Yizhi had already prepared the best room. When Huang Laifu was about to rest, Zong Yizhi sent his wife and Ji to bed. Huang Laifu saw that he looked pretty good with Ji, no wonder Li Zongcheng, the former envoy of the Ming Dynasty, was moved and harassed her.

At this time, Japan had the habit of scattering. From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, Japanese men came to China, or when they met Han people in the Central Plains, they would offer their wives and daughters to serve, called scattering. Zhou Ying, a Song Dynasty man, once recorded in Qingbo Magazine: "A boat in Japan drifted on the Song Dynasty, and there were dozens of Japanese women. All Japanese women were sent. When they met people from Zhongzhou, they chose the beautiful ones to recommend their sleeping, which was called scattering."

This custom was passed down from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. Both Chinese and Japanese were used to it. Even the Ming army was stationed on Tsushima Island. Many Japanese residents on the island gave their wives and sons, and they kept going every night, hoping to give birth to strong and tall descendants in the future. The height of the Japanese in later generations increased. Although they had the contribution of a generation of milk to strengthen their generation, the contributions made by the Han people in the Central Plains to them were also indelible.

Huang Laifu also understood this custom in Japan at this time, and it was hard to refuse the affection at the moment, so he accepted it. He looked good with Ji Ren and had good skills in bed, but he was a little petite and delicate, and was only one or four meters tall, which made Huang Laifu feel guilty of playing with underage girls.

...

In the following days, Huang Laifu was in charge of Tsuma Island on the one hand, commanding and dispatching the war against Japan, and on the other hand, he spent the slaughter of Soyochi's wife every night. The huge oppression of the Ming army made the Toyotomi family in Daban Castle unable to sleep or eat. They sent several batches of envoys, hoping to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty.

On the first day of the second month, Huang Laifu finally met with the Toyotomi family’s peace talks envoy on Tsushima Island.
