Domineering Daming

At the same time, in order to show their determination to fight against Satsuma, the Ryukyu royal family even moved out of the palace and rebuilt a "governor's office". Then, according to the imperial decree brought by Cao Wenzhao, they removed the country name, established provinces, and appointed officials.

Shang Feng is still the "king", Shang Lian is the governor, and Shang Tong is the governor. At the same time, he tells everyone with great fanfare that he hopes that the Ming court will send troops to station, just like the Ming Dynasty's introspection system.

These news will be passed on to the Satsuma clan one by one, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the Wa Kingdom, which wants to subdue the Ryukyu and build a "Little China"!Just like Goguryeo in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this is never allowed!

Inside the new governor's office.

Cao Wenzhao, Liu Wentian, Lai Daosheng, Shang Feng, Shang Lian, Shang Tong and a group of people stood in front of a huge sand table, deliberating carefully.

As the host, Shang Tong pointed to several small islands outside the main island on the sand table, and said solemnly: "The last time the Satsuma clan invaded, there were a lot of ships, more than 100 ships, including pirates. The sea area is very familiar. After occupying these islands, they used them as a backing, and then gathered on the east coast of Shuri, 3000 people, holding Satsuma guns. Outside the main island, we have no army, not even weapons, so they No obstacles were encountered. After the landing, our king sent Ma Liangbi to lead the army to resist, but the Satsuma gun was too powerful, and it didn't take long for it to be defeated, and Shuri was occupied..."

Shangfeng and Shanglian stood aside, both indifferent.They have seen the Satsuma gun before. This thing can shoot from a distance, killing people invisible, and it only takes a few breaths to break their army's morale.

Cao Wenzhao and others didn't speak, but they were all complaining in their hearts.

This Ryukyu really wants to save face and suffer. The last time Ryukyu surrendered, it was not Satsuma who captured Shuri.And they have also studied the Satsuma gun, which is an improved matchlock gun imported from the West, that is, the shooting range has been increased a little, and it is more handy. It is far worse than the Polu gun of the Ming Dynasty!

By the way, the Ryukyu people have not seen his Polu gun.

"Let them see it this time!" The three of Cao Wenzhao looked at each other and thought to themselves at the same time.

After a while, Cao Wenzhao looked at the sand table without moving, and pondered: "Our combat goal is to annihilate the main force of the Satsuma clan as much as possible, consolidate the security of Shuri, and then send troops northward to destroy the Satsuma clan and deter the Japanese kingdom. !"

Shang Feng and others were slightly startled. Their bottom line was to keep Shuri and Ryukyu.Ming people's goals are too big, and some are too much for them to bear.

But at this time, they can't say anything that damages the morale of the army at will.They all looked at the sand table and remained silent.

Liu Wentian ignored them, and said directly: "My lord, the Satsuma domain must attack Shuri either by land or by sea. The distance on the road is too long, it will take a long time, and the night will be full of dreams. It does not meet their desire for revenge, so the general will judge , they will still come from the sea, and they will still be in the original port, to show their determination and strength!"

Before Cao Wenzhao nodded, Lai Daosheng followed and said, "From the east bank to Shuri, there are intertwined mountains and fields. It is not a smooth journey, but it is quite vast after all, and it is easy to retreat to the sea, which is not in line with our goal of complete annihilation. Therefore, the last general I believe that we should lure the Satsuma clan deep, destroy their ships first, cut off their retreat, and then annihilate them calmly!"

Shang Feng, Shang Lian and the others were terrified when they heard it, Cao Wenzhao and the others spoke so easily and freely, they had no idea of ​​the ferocity of the Satsuma clan!

Shang Feng looked at Cao Wenzhao, hesitantly said: "Generals, Satsuma's firecrackers are really powerful, although they are not as powerful as cannons, but in close combat, cannons are not as powerful as firecrackers..."

Cao Wenzhao smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, we can deal with it ourselves, so there is no need to worry."

He already has a plan in mind, this time, he will wipe out the Satsuma clan!

King Shangfeng and the others looked at each other, feeling that the generals of the Ming Dynasty were a little too confident.

Liu Wentian picked up a stick, pointed at the sand table, drew a line, and said, "My lord, this is the fastest way to Shuri Castle, but the Japanese are cunning. Just in case, we set up defenses here. This is the way to enter Shuri Castle." The only way to go in Shuri!"

Lai Daosheng looked at it, nodded and said, "That's right, the terrain here is wide and narrow, which is convenient for cannons and fortifications."

Cao Wenzhao looked at it for a while, then nodded lightly. Facing a group of miscellaneous soldiers, they couldn't be careless, and said: "Okay! Let's set up an ambush here. Dao Sheng will arrange it for you. It must be meticulous and leak-proof. Wen Tian, ​​you and Shang The generals work together to lure the enemy everywhere, it must be true, and cannot be seen through, it is inevitable that there are smart people in Satsuma..."

"As ordered!"

When Daosheng came, Liu Wentian suddenly raised his hands and cupped his fists, and said in a deep voice.

The momentum changed suddenly, and the atmosphere also changed. The loose Ryukyu people couldn't get used to it. Shang Feng, Shang Lian, and Shang Tong were all at a loss, and it took a while to follow the inexplicable salute.

The plan has been decided, and everyone will act separately.

Both King Shang Feng and Shang Lian began to make a big splash, assuring Shuri and all Ryukyu people that they would be safe and sound after joining Ming Dynasty, the Satsuma clan and pirates would be cut off as soon as possible, and they would enjoy peace forever.At the same time, Shang Tong mobilized nearly [-] people from various places in Ryukyu to set up defenses in various places in Shuri.

Under the cover of Shang Tong, Cao Wenzhao and others also quietly searched everywhere, deployed troops, and made preparations.

There was a lot of movement on the Ryukyu side. Huashan Jiushou finally returned to Kagoshima, Tsuru, and Marujo after more than two days of sea breeze.

In fact, before Kagoshima Jiushou came back, Kagoshima had already received the news. All the people present had gloomy faces, cold eyes, and resisted killing intent.

Shimadzu Iehisa, Kawayama Kudaka, Hirata Masamune and others are all present. Except for Shimadzu Iehisa who is the head of the family and a daimyo, everyone else is his retainer, leading an army composed of samurai from all over the place to rule Kako together. Island, that is, the Satsuma domain.

Huashan Jiushou knelt on the ground, facing Shimadzu Jiahisa, and said in a tone of incomparable hatred: "My lord, the Ryukyu rebellion must be severely punished. I am willing to lead my troops to crush Shuri and take the head of the Ryukyu king for my lord! "

Huashan Jiugao sat not far away on his knees, expressionless.

Hirata Masamune's eyes flickered, his head was lowered, and he didn't speak.

The Shimadzu family is 67 years old, his eyes are like eagles, and his gaze sweeps across Kawayama Kudaka and Hirata Masune, his eyes are dark and cold.

These two were his retainers and generals, controlling nearly half of the Shimadzu family's samurai. When he was getting old, these two were young and full of ambition.

There was a cold air flowing in the small wooden room. After a long time in the Shimadzu family, they said indifferently, "What do you think?"

Hirata Masamune turned sideways fiercely, and said coldly: "The Ryukyu rebellion must be severely punished. Please send troops to destroy Ryukyu and strengthen Satsuma!"

Hirata Masamune is a belligerent man with a brain, but limited, and he is not in the eyes of the Shimadzu family. He raised his eyelids slightly, looked at Kawayama Kudaka, and said indifferently: "Kudaka, what do you think?"

Huashan Jiugao didn't know that the Shimadzu family had been jealous of him for a long time, but he still nodded and said: "My lord, I am willing to be a general, and once again crusade against Ryukyu, it is bound to destroy Ryukyu, and I will show my prestige to the lord!"

Shimadzu Iehisa picked up a cup of hot tea in front of him with trembling hands, took a sip, and sat there with his eyes closed.

Huashan, who was kneeling on the ground, stayed there for a long time like a utensil, without any movement.

Kawayama Kudaka and Hirata Masune didn't say a word, they all turned sideways to show respect to the Shimadzu family.

After a while, Shimadzu Iehisa suddenly opened his eyes, his face showed a stern expression, his eyes were like swords, and he said coldly: "This time, with Huashan Jiushu as the general and Hirata Masune as the deputy, we will lead eight thousand troops to wipe out Ryukyu!"

The faces of the three people present all changed slightly, and their eyes showed shock.

Huashan Jiushou knelt on the ground, with his face pressed against the opposite side, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was extremely excited.

8000 people, this is almost the entire army of the Satsuma domain!At the same time, his being able to become the "General" this time means that his father will abdicate, and he will succeed him as the governor of the Huashan family, becoming the second person in the Satsuma clan!

Huashan Jiushou had no expression on his face, the unwillingness flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head, gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Hirata Masamune raised his head sharply to look at Shimadzu Iehisa, and opened his mouth to speak, but saw Shimadzu Iehisa's sharp gaze turned, and immediately lowered his head and said, "Ha!"

Hirata Masamune was not reconciled, he had always been lower than Kawayama Kudaka in the Satsuma domain, but before he could overwhelm Kawayama Kudaka, Kawayama Kudaka's son had already landed on him!

Chapter 718 The Great War Comes

Three days later, Linshanchuan Port.

Iehisa Shimadzu personally paid homage to the ancestor gods, burning incense and praying.

Then he ordered more than 300 ships, ordering them to go on an expedition to Ryukyu, and they will never return!

Sitting on the boat, Hua Shan guarded his armor for a long time, wiped the Satsuma gun in his hand, his eyes were dark and gloomy, and his heart was high-spirited.

He led an army of [-] soldiers this time, all of whom were powerful elite warriors. In addition to the feudal lord Shimadzu's family, there were also Kajiki, Kokubun, retainers Ganfushi, Tanegashima, etc., who all sent the strongest warriors to give their all. !

Many days have passed, but the anger in his heart still doesn't go away, and his eyes are full of sternness.

"I will definitely slaughter the Shang family, leaving no one behind!" Hua Shan roared in his heart for a long time.
