When Zeng Yi and the others were heading towards that small town, Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the front line had already received information from the rear. It turned out that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was in high spirits at this time, and he led the main army on an expedition to Kanto. Area, this place has always been the territory of the Hojo clan, a powerful family in Kanto. In the first battle, they captured the Yamanaka Castle. The Yamanaka Castle is a steep mountain castle built based on the Hakone sky. It is a strong fortress that the Hojo clan is proud of. However, it faced ten times the challenge. The above-mentioned powerful enemy force was conquered in just a few hours of fierce fighting.
Afterwards, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered generals such as Oda Nobuo, Hosokawa Tadayaki, Kamaojigo, Hachisuka Kasei, Fukushima Masanori and other generals to unite 40,000 troops to attack Nirayama Castle. While surrounding Nirayama Castle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi personally drove the army. , entered the Hakone Mountains, and arrived at Odawara Castle in three days. Odawara is a large castle of five miles wide, with wide moats and deep moats, and solid stone fortresses. The outer castle is equipped with the most powerful ministers of the Hojo clan. It can be said that the Hojo The family's last resort.
However, even such an important city and fortress could not hold out for a few days. Under siege by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army, the Hojo clan finally chose to surrender, and the head of the Hojo clan, the Hojo clan, was forced to confiscate. The Hojo clan, which had dominated the island nation of Kanto for many years, was destroyed in the first battle. .
The high-spirited Toyotomi Hideyoshi had just accepted the power of the Hojo clan. Before he even had time to celebrate, he received news from the rear that his own son and nephew had been assassinated. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was overjoyed and sad. He almost fainted, but the hero was a hero, and he forced himself to calm down. After handing over the follow-up matters in Kanto to his trusted subordinates, he immediately led the army and fought back to Daban City.
Eager in his heart, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was very fast. He drove all the way without rest. In less than a day, the army returned to Oita Castle. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi saw the body of his son and nephew, he could no longer bear it. He said angrily: "What on earth is going on? Who did it?"
"General, General, it seems, he seems to be a Korean!" the island general who stayed behind replied tremblingly. In fact, after Toyotomi Hideyori Toyotomi Hideji was killed, he knew that he was finished, so it would be best to wait for him. His fate was to commit seppuku, but for the sake of his family, he had to wait for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to come back.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not expect that the answer he got was North Korea. At first, he thought it was the action of those princes who disobeyed him, "North Korea! How is it possible?"
"General, general, we have caught several murderers, and there is information that the maids present heard with their own ears!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi immediately asked someone to bring the maid. In addition to the maid, there was also the owner of the private house who was kidnapped by Zeng Yi. Zeng Yi and others did not kill them. Looking at the people coming, Toyotomi Hideyoshi forcibly suppressed himself. Angry, "Tell me exactly what you heard!"
What these people heard was what they thought Toyotomi Hideyoshi knew. Naturally, there were no loopholes. However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a powerful man, would not believe it so easily. He still doubted in his heart that this was possible. The conspiracies and machinations of some princes are nothing but forged evidence by the other party!
Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't say anything. After listening to the accounts of these people, he went directly to see the Korean masters who were imprisoned and tortured to an abnormal level! These Koreans, except for the first-class master, could withstand it. In fact, the others They were already on the verge of collapse. Toyotomi Hideyoshi came back and directly ordered separate interrogations. This simple move became the straw that broke the camel's back. Some people couldn't stand it and directly revealed their identities.
When Toyotomi Hideyoshi heard that these people were really from North Korea and were subordinates of Yi Sun-shin's son, he could no longer suppress his anger! "Baga! North Korea, I want the entire North Korea to be buried with my son!"
With the murderer captured alive, witnesses who heard the news with his own ears, the physical evidence of the Korean ring sword left behind, and the motive of revenge for Yi Sun-shin, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was completely convinced that the person who assassinated his son's nephew was a Korean!
The angry Toyotomi Hideyoshi directly ordered the blockade of ports in various places and sent naval fleets to pursue them.
Zeng Yi and the others ran wildly for a long time and finally arrived at the small town. There was only a small patrol fleet at the port of the town, with two small boats and dozens of sailors. Taking advantage of the darkness, Zeng Yi and the others took action directly without even being alerted.
The residents of the small town easily dealt with the island nation's naval forces.
"This ship is really compact. Can it go on a long voyage?"
These small offshore patrol boats are really very small. There were less than twenty people from Zeng Yi and others on board, and they were still a little crowded. "It should be no problem, but there is no defense at all. When encountering a warship, it will basically be a crossbow."
About the gun!"
"Stop saying anything, take off the clothes of these island nation's navy, and we will be the island nation's navy next!"
After changing their clothes, Zeng Yi and others set off overnight. The speed of the boat was actually not slow, but Zeng Yi and others were a little overloaded and could not move forward at full speed. As a result, after dawn, they were not able to break out of the island country's waters.
"Made, it's dawn, be careful, don't encounter the island nation's warships and expose your secrets!"
However, they were afraid of nothing, and they were most afraid of encountering island country warships. As a result, after dawn, after sailing for less than an hour, Zeng Yi and the others encountered two island country second-level warships. Such warships, if the Jiaolong were there, Zeng Yi would not be able to do anything.
They were too lazy to offend them, but now, in a small boat with no weapons and basically zero defense, Zeng Yi and the others' expressions all changed. On this vast sea, even if they were as powerful as the sky, they were somewhat powerful and had nowhere to go.
"Don't panic! We are now the navy of the island country!" The fourth child took a few deep breaths and said softly.
Zeng Yi and others also took a few deep breaths to calm themselves down. After a while, two second-level battleships came over. It was not until the island nation's naval forces on the battleships waved their flags that Zeng Yi realized that the other side was really
They mistook them for patrol fleets and were asking them for information using semaphores.
Fortunately, the pro-military captain's mansion is full of talents, and there are people who can speak semaphores. They quickly communicated with the other party, and the two battleships asked Zeng Yi and others if they had encountered any unusual ships. Zeng Yi and the others naturally replied that they had not.
After meeting, the two warships left.
Watching the two warships leave, Zeng Yi and his group all breathed a sigh of relief. Zeng Yi frowned and said: "We can't go directly to North Korea! Looking at this situation, Toyotomi Hideyoshi must have got the news and started to send naval forces to blockade it.
Search for us in the sea area. Let’s take a detour, first to the Central Plains, and then to North Korea!” (To be continued)
