After all, Ryukyu is not an ancient civilization, before the Ming Dynasty, it was just a primitive tribal system, and even a country was not formed as a large island in the East China Sea, so some ancient place names of the Ryukyu Kingdom are very unpretentious.

For example, Kitayama, Nakayama, and Namsan mean that there are three mountains on the main island of Ryukyu from south to north, and each mountain is entrenched in a large tribe, and at that time it was the period when the three mountains of the ancient Ryukyus were juxtaposed, and the three major tribes were three countries.

The Nakayama Kingdom, the Nanshan Kingdom, and the Kitayama Kingdom, among which the Zhongshan Kingdom, which is the location of Shurijo Castle, was the first to establish friendly relations with the Ming Dynasty, and it was with the support of the Ming Dynasty that the Zhongshan Kingdom unified the main island of the Ryukyus, and finally established the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom.

In the eyes of the indigenous people of the Ryukyus, the unification of the three mountains was a great event, but in the Ming Dynasty at that time, it was the story of three villages fighting and finally merging into one big village.

The history of the Three Mountains Province has come to an end, but the ancient place names have been preserved, and the South and North Mountains have become important strategic heights to protect Shuri Castle.

The battle on the North Hill defense line was singing and weeping, and the South Hill was not a pool of stagnant water here, on the cement permanent observation post at the top of the mountain, three scarlet-eyed sentries stared intently at the French warships on the sea all day long.

The fortifications around it had already been blown into ruins, and a fort was supposed to be built here, but before it could be officially completed, it was bombarded by French warships, and only a mess remained.

"Mr. Matthew, can you drink saliva...... a soldier held a bamboo tube of water and sent it over, and the tall man who took the bamboo tube looked closely and turned out to be a foreigner with a big nose.

This foreigner is an old friend of the Ryukyu monarchs, and he is the military observer sent by the President of the United States, Mr. Lincoln, Matthew. It was also this American military attache named Matthew who, in his old age, recompiled the diaries of his travels in China and released a strange book called "Matthew's Diary".

The book records in detail his experiences in East Asia, and records the entire process of the rise of East Asian nations from the perspective of a bystander.

There are precise figures, detailed texts, rich photographs, and even interviews with those civil and military generals that later generations can only look up to. Of course, at that time, these dazzling political and military veterans were just a group of ignorant teenagers.

A diary of Matthew has become a must-read material for scholars to study Xiao Lotian and the history of the rise of East Asia.

Today, Matthew has not left the Nansan Observation Post since the French warship appeared in Naha Bay, and it has a commanding view of Shuri Castle on the opposite mountain, as well as the entire urban area at his feet, and the vast Naha Bay.

Except for the battle situation on the side of Beishan Guotou, he couldn't see it, and all the rest of the battle couldn't escape his eyes and the camera in his hand.

The moment the French opened fire on the civilians without declaring war, Matthew was completely furious, and the Americans, who had experienced the development of the West in the past century, had a cowboy spirit in their bones, and the worship of individual heroism had reached the extreme, and they already had a heroic feeling that was unique to Europeans.

In Matthew's mind, it's true that war can't be completely harmless to civilians, but it can't be like Molière, you can't do it? You didn't even declare war? You dropped shells all the shells into residential areas to increase the intensity of your killing? And it's a fucking flowering shell.

Is it tolerable or unbearable, Matthew really wants to rush up and fight the French, but after all, he is a military attache appointed by the president, and if he joins this war, it will definitely cause diplomatic disputes.

After thinking about it, Matthew decided to use his most cherished camera to record this qiē, and when the war was over, he must make it public so that the world could condemn the atrocity.

Burning slums, bombed-out shopping streets, seaports littered with dead bodies, weeping refugee camps, brightly lit medical posts...... Of course, there are also the charging New Army soldiers, the student soldiers who give impassioned speeches.

Among the countless photos, the most are of course the photos of the entire battlefield overlooking the entire battlefield from the top of the South Mountain, standing here always gives Matthew a feeling of being a god, and only from such an angle can he truly feel the grandeur of the war.

"Sir...... Look at the bay across the ......" A scream brought Matthew's thoughts back to reality, and he turned his head to the south to see the exaggerated white flag, the big Xiao character that could be seen from far away.

"God bless me... What is it...... Reinforcements from the Ryukyus, give me a camera...... One soldier brought Matthew with a tripod, while another soldier took off his conch and puffed out his cheeks and whined.

No one knows what the identity of that ship is, but as long as he flies the flag with the word Xiao, it must be a friend and foe.

The conch horn alarmed the other observation posts, and more than ten hidden observation points in the entire Nanshan Mountain found anomalies on the sea surface, and then the sound of the conch horn became a film.

Then the hidden observation posts of Shichixing Mountain, Nakayama, and Shuri Castle also discovered anomalies, and the horn sound of the entire bay continued.

What a shocking sight it was, even the French Rear Admiral General General Bruce was dumbfounded, and under the gaze of a warship, people watched as a Chinese sailing ship squeezed through the middle of the two frigates, and the clatter and piercing sound of wood breaking, even Bruce heard it.

Two of the three Chinese corsairs had chosen to die with the French warships, and now the two frigates were shouting like thunder, and the fish that slipped through the net was no better, and when he squeezed into Naha Bay, the sides of the hull had been completely sliced open.

The French soldiers were stunned, there was nothing left above the waterline on the side of the Chinese corsair, as if it was a model anatomy placed in the Naval Academy, and the entire internal structure of the pirate ship could be seen at a glance.

Sailors carrying gunpowder in the powder compartment, cooks with boning knives and claws, and wounded soldiers resting in the single compartment...... Almost all the pirates shouted at the French army, as if they were unaware of the fact that the ship was about to sink.

The pirate ship was doomed to sink, and it was clear that the sea water on both sides of the ship was crashing and pouring in, and it would not take more than ten minutes for the ship to be saved.

At the moment when all the French soldiers were stunned, Bruce suddenly yelled, "Oh no, this ship is here to kill itself, they are here to report the news...... Open fire, blow him up..."

A word woke up the dreamer, and only then did people raise their attention from the side of the ship to the mast, and the big and terrifying Xiao Zi recognition flag came into people's eyes.

"Damn...... The ship was there to deliver a message to the Ryukyuan people, and they could not be allowed to succeed......" shouted as cannon rumbled on the sea, and the alfon's side splashed.

"Accelerate, accelerate, it's almost there...... Bypass the reef in front of us, and Naha Castle will be able to see us...... Rudder ......"

Boom, boom, the water splashed by the cannonballs into the air at a height of more than ten meters, and then poured down like a torrential rain, and the broken cables whipped in the air, dancing tentacles like the legendary deep-sea octopus.

From time to time pirates fall into the sea on the mast, whizzing and flying fragments to harvest life, even a piece of the alfon's ribs.

"I'm cāo, this mosquito bite is quite painful......" The goldeneye snapper was fierce enough, took out a dagger, gritted his teeth, and actually dug out the piece of shrapnel, and then casually tore a long shirt and bandaged it indiscriminately, and it was no longer a problem.

"Right now, I've seen Shuri Castle...... I've seen it before, I've seen it......" The pirate ship sailing under fire finally saw hope, and the lookout at the top finally saw the outline of Shuri Castle, and Nansan, which blocked the view, finally bypassed.

"Lord Long's blessing...... Brothers, abandon the ship and retreat......" The goldeneye snapper grabbed the conch horn next to it and blew with rhythm.

The pirates fighting on the sea did not dare to slack off when they heard the signal to retreat, and one by one they jumped over the side of the ship and jumped into the sea, and then swam to the shore with splashes.

"Abandon ship...... The mission is complete, let's go to the island for a drink...... Finally won the gamble on this life...... "The sea is full of fluttering figures.

The sailors on the Poseidon and Rafale were stunned, they had just killed and were inseparable, how could all the pirates retreat in a blink of an eye? Rubbing their eyes and looking at the corpses on the deck, they felt that this was not a dream.

"Clean up the water in the ship's hold...... Repair the ship now...... The sailman prepares to change the sails...... Flag to the Glory, our ship is seriously injured and must withdraw from the battle ......"

After sending the signal, the two warships began to adjust their attitudes, ready to shake off the two pirate ships that pierced the hull, but they never thought that the injustices of these two fateful ships could never be shaken off again.

Deep in the bilges of the two pirate ships, each has a crippled old pirate, who has been plagued by the torture of life at sea for many years, thanks to the alfon's conscience, they have been raising them for nothing.

"Now is the time to repay the favor, the days of licking blood with knives are over today......" They held the incense in their hands, and blew a breath The incense head was unusually bright.

In front of them were barrels of gunpowder, several of which had already been shattered, and black granules of gunpowder were scattered everywhere.

Boom Boom Boom ...... Two mushroom clouds rose on the sea without symptoms, and the muffled thunder shook the whole island, and the Poseidon and Rafale were blown up more than three meters high like toys in the face of such violent force, and then smashed back to the surface of the sea, tons of sea water rolled in, and flames and smoke soared into the sky.

"Prime Minister Xiao...... I'm a goldeneye snapper, but I'm here to deliver a letter to you...... Don't forget my credit..."
