The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

In the conference room of the Fuzhou Foreign Legion camp, a group of officers at battalion level and above were already sitting at attention, looking at Major General Nickel, who was at the head.

Nikhil glanced at the upright officers and nodded secretly.

His Majesty's training methods are indeed effective. They are much more decent than the gang of ruffians he had before.

Then he cleared his throat and said to everyone:

"Gentlemen, I know that you have strong opinions on the current logistics work. For this reason, I have submitted combat applications to the military headquarters several times."

"Now, here's your chance!"

"A few days ago, the Japanese country of Satsuma sent troops to occupy a large area of ​​Ryukyu territory, a vassal state of our empire. His Majesty the Emperor has decided to carry out punitive operations against Satsuma!"

"Since the current main task of the imperial army is to recover the country, our army will be the main force in this punitive military operation! Of course, the Navy will also send warships to assist us in the operation."

"In addition, His Majesty has given an oral instruction that in this punitive battle, the system of rewards and punishments for heads will be reintroduced. Each Japanese male head will be deducted from the "honorable service" time by 5 days, or converted into 1 tael of silver! Recapture the women and heads. Same merit!"

As soon as Nicol finished speaking, the eyes of all the officers present lit up!

A head or a woman can be exchanged for 5 days of honorable service, so doesn't it mean that they only need to chop off the heads of about 200 Japanese people or snatch [-] women for the Ming Dynasty to directly join the Ming Dynasty!

And that one tael of silver?

Since these people can become officers, their ideological awareness is guaranteed, and this can directly reduce their honorable service time!Which fool is willing to exchange it for money?

The officers looked ecstatic, their eyes rolling wildly, thinking about how to snatch heads and women.

As for those Japanese people who originally had the same blood as them?

Why!This is not nonsense!I will soon become a glorious citizen of the Ming Dynasty!

Regarding the war against the Japanese and the re-introduction of head rewards, Emperor Zhu Da issued the order in the form of an oral decree.

Because he knew very well that with the existence of a head reward, and the bloodthirsty character of the Japanese people, the war against the Japanese was very likely to turn into a genocide.

Even if strictly speaking, those people are their own compatriots, there are still many examples of self-massacre since ancient times, not to mention these brutal and murderous Japanese people.

Therefore, it is impossible for an eternal wise king like him to issue such an imperial edict that may cause negative evaluation in future generations.

No matter what happened in the end, it could only be due to the bloodthirsty character of the Japanese people.

In addition, Zhu Heyi believed that there was no problem at all in attacking Samoa with more than 3000 foreign legion officers and soldiers.

What he was fighting was Satsuma, not the entire Japanese kingdom.

Although the Warring States Period of Japan has long ended, as long as the rule of the Japanese government is not endangered, the daimyo of various places are still eager for the strength of others to be weakened.

As long as the shogun didn't give the order, most of the other daimyo would just stand aside and watch the joke, and then seize the opportunity to step forward and take a bite, taking advantage.

Although the Satsuma tribe is known as one of the five great tribes among the three hundred tribes of the Japanese country.

But if you think about it, the big Japanese country can actually have so many famous names. No matter how strong it is, how strong can it be.

Today's Satsuma is not the Satsuma of more than 100 years ago. In the current era, the population under Satsuma's rule is only over 10, which is the population of a county in the Ming Dynasty.

To deal with such Satsuma, the foreign legion is enough!

……

Ryukyu Island, Shuri Castle, Ryukyu Royal Palace

"Your Highness the King (Your Majesty?), the Samoan Japanese soldiers have landed at Naha Port. Our army stationed in Naha has been defeated by the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates shouted that we should hand over the tribute immediately, otherwise they will attack Shuri Castle immediately. !”

A soldier ran into the palace in panic and reported to the sad-looking Ryukyu King Naoshiki.

"what!"

After listening to the soldier's words, Shang Zhi's face instantly turned from sadness to anger. He stood up and said through gritted teeth.

"This group of greedy Japanese pirates! We just handed over the tribute last month and now we have to pay it again, and they have taken over all the northern islands! These damned Japanese pirates!"

The tributes that the Japanese country wants are really tributes, only the kind that cannot be reciprocated, and they not only want tributes, but now they also want land. This is bullying Ryukyu to death!How could Shang Zhi swallow this breath!

But soon, Shang Zhi sat back helplessly.

The invasion of Ryukyu by the Japanese Satsuma tribe decades ago almost uprooted Ryukyu's already embattled military power.

Later, Ryukyu's trade and taxation were actually controlled by Japan. As a result, Ryukyu basically worked for Japan for decades.

During the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu, which made its fortune by doing business with the Ming Dynasty, originally had some money left over. However, in recent years, with the exploitation and oppression of the Japanese country, it has become poorer and poorer. It has become so poor that it cannot even form a decent army.

Today, there are less than a thousand Shuri pro-militia troops stationed in Shuri Castle and Naha Port in the entire Ryukyu Islands, and the garrison troops on the other islands only have a few hundred people in total.

And now the Naha garrison is gone!

How could such a military strength fight against the powerful Samoan army?

Shang Zhi is almost desperate.

"Your Highness, I think we can promise those Japanese pirates first and give them some sweet treats to stabilize them.

The envoys sent by His Highness should have arrived in Taiwan. We, Ryukyu, have been the most loyal followers of the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although there have been changes in recent decades due to the invasion of Tatars, Ming Dynasty will not sit back and watch Ryukyu be invaded by the Japanese. If you are being bullied, troops will definitely be sent to rescue you. As soon as the soldiers from tomorrow arrive, the Japanese pirates will naturally be wiped out! "

At this time, an official in the hall stood up and said.

The official's surname was Li, a descendant of one of the 36 surnames of the Fujian people who immigrated to Ryukyu from Fujian under the order of Zhu Yuanzhang during the Hongwu period.

Because the original group of people were all navigators, scholars or other people with special skills, most of them were entrusted with important tasks after arriving in Ryukyu, and were even worshiped as prime ministers, and enjoyed high officials and generous salaries for generations.

These people were just boat workers in the Ming Dynasty. Without Zhu Yuanzhang's order, they would not have reached such a high position. Therefore, this group of people and their descendants have always remained loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

This time when the Japanese attacked, it was these people who asked Daming for help.

After all, if your son is beaten outside, it is normal for him to come forward to the parents.

"Yes! Hold them back. As soon as the Tomorrow Soldiers arrive, all those damn Japanese pirates will be sent to hell!"

Shang Zhi's face looked much better.

Previously, they had no choice but to surrender to the Manqing Dynasty and wanted to use the help of the Manqing Dynasty to drive away the Japanese country. Unfortunately, the Manqing Dynasty did not like Ryukyu.

Fortunately, Ryukyu's biological father Daming is now resurrected!

He, a fatherless boy, finally had a backer.
