120 Sleepless Night

The Shimazu army's army eventually surrendered, and after nearly 12 hours of fighting, the 3,000 Japanese Army was now left with just over 1,500 men, and almost all of them were wounded. Of the more than a dozen old warships of the Japanese Navy, all but four were captured by the Americans, and the rest were buried in the sea.

When Xiao Letian saw the list of supplies and soldiers sent by the Japanese, he secretly sighed in his heart that this damn war was finally over. "Divide these soldiers into ten squads, and let our guards scatter and guard them, and give me fucking hard labor, and atone for my sins before I judge them......"

"And those Japanese residents, too, I was given two meals of gruel a day, and if I didn't work, I wouldn't give them. made such a big sin in Naha, and you still want Lao Tzu to feed you for nothing......" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Letian tilted his head and leaned directly on the back of the chair and actually fell asleep.

The surrender of the Shimazu clan army marked the end of the war, which was later known as the Battle of the Ryukyu Independence, which lasted less than 12 hours. Perhaps future generations will desperately study the far-reaching impact of this short-lived conflict on the situation in East Asia, but in the international environment at that time, such a small-scale conflict was really not enough.

In the international environment at that time, the eyes of the Western powers were focused on major events such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the American Civil War, and the expansion of Russian power, including the rise of Prussia and Germany. The fact that a small island nation with a population of one million people had a mass riot among the people and provoked the entry into the war of thousands of Japan's primitive troops was not even worth a lace from The Times.

But for Xiao Letian, who has just started his career, Dingding a country, even if it is as small as Ryukyu, this sense of accomplishment is unimaginable for him in two lifetimes.

Xiao Lotian has not closed his eyes for 24 hours, from the preparation stage of the battle to the end of the next day, his love is in a state of high tension, in the struggle of blood and fire, Xiao Lotian has almost squeezed all his energy, he has never been so crazy, he is even waving the Xiao character recognition flag in his dream, and there are thousands of people under the flag.

"Kill...... Kill...... Charge...... Charge ...... "Xiao Letian in his sleep kept dreaming, and King Shangtai hurriedly ordered the chamberlain to gently carry the chair with a backrest, and brought it to the harem with Xiao Letian.

Not only that, Lin Yuanmiao, who is good at sycophancy, also selected four young and beautiful women from the palace maids to serve Xiao Lotian closely. It's a pity that Xiao Lotian has slept and is dying, and the four little beauties changed his clothes and wiped his body, but he didn't react at all.

Naha's night is late, but the city is still not peaceful, countless Japanese laborers are cleaning up the city under the supervision of the Chinese Guards, the remnants of the fire can not be revived, the broken wreckage must be removed as much as possible, anyway, there is no environmental awareness at this time, the garbage that can be used can be used, and the garbage that cannot be used is thrown directly into the sea.

The burned trestle at the wharf is being repaired intensively, and now some foreigners' merchant ships have come up, Luo Huo and Mike are trading with foreigners, one IOU after another is being opened, and barrels of high-priced gunpowder and foreign guns are being removed from the ship.

At this time, the foreigners didn't consider the influence of politics, the Japanese were all beaten into mourning dogs, Naha is now Xiao Letian's family is dominant, what are you waiting for if you don't make some arms money at this time, a foreign gun is more than ten times more profitable, and a fool will not sell it.

It's not just Luo Huo who is busy, but now Jin Changsen and Wing King Shi Dakai are even more busy. The secret warehouses of the Japanese, whether belonging to the Shimazu family or those of the Japanese merchants, have all been confiscated, and long seals are plastered all over Naha.

It was not only the Chinese who were busy, but also the administrative system of the Ryukyu Kingdom that stayed up all night, and officials with lanterns and torches spread all over the mountains to publicize the prime minister's new decree, mobilizing the people of the Ryukyus to return to the city from one mountain to another, and gradually the mountains around Naha were filled with the light of torches.

This is power, the power that makes men intoxicated. Xiao Lotian can now sleep under the service of beautiful women, but his decree will not rest, and the power he has run will not close his eyes.

Xiao Letian's every order was thoroughly implemented, and after this battle, Xiao Letian's loyalty rolled up, and even Liang Kun, who had many doubts in his heart, followed Xiao Letian with all his heart. In Chinese culture, those who can be called the capital of a country and win a national war are already great heroes who have left their names in history.

I don't know when the night of Naha wafted with bursts of incense, and it was faint at first, but soon the smell permeated every street and alley. It was countless surviving Chinese who burned incense and prayed for Xiao Letian at their doors, and the simple Chinese could only thank their life-saving benefactors in this way.

"For more than 200 years, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty doesn't care about us, and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty doesn't care about us, we pay the heaviest taxes, and we have to be angry with the Japanese Xiaozi, but no one has ever taken care of us. That haunting mother country, the place where the ancestors' tombs are located, there is finally an adult who is looking at us......"

"From now on, let's do it with Mr. Xiao, we all owe him a life......"

Naha didn't sleep all night, only the heartless Xiao Lotian who was sleeping in the arms of the beauty flowed out. It may be that the prayers of 100,000 Chinese have worked, and Xiao Letian in his sleep smiled extremely easily.

Just when Xiao Lotian was sleeping, on the edge of an uninhabited beach lined with rocks on the northern reef of Naha Port, a figure hiding in a crack in the rocks quietly slipped out, and by the moonlight, the black shadow lay on the side of a stream and frantically poured cold water into his stomach.

"Evil Hachiro...... You're hiding here?" a voice sounded behind the figure, and the drinker of the water took out his ribs and rushed in the direction of the voice without saying a word.

After hearing a dinging sound, the two figures scuffled in the stream, and took a closer look through the moonlight, "Nani? are you a little ghost in the fog, you lied to me, so miserable......"

Evil Hachiro attacked the female ninja like crazy, but unfortunately Evil Hachiro's swordsmanship was obviously not as suitable for duel as ninjutsu, and after a few dodges, he was kicked to the ground by the misty hidden imp, and the shuriken was against his throat.

"Yaga, stupid thing, do you want to attract the countrymen? don't shut up yet......" The little ghost of the fog sat beside Hachiro with a pale face, "You and I are already a lost dog, so don't dwell on those things, I just listen to other people's orders......"

There was still some dried meat on the imp of the fog, and the two people who were sympathetic to each other ate it separately, leaning on the stone and slowly accumulating strength.

"Hachiro...... What's next for you?"

"It's good to live, I'm going to hide in the mountains for a while, and when the limelight passes, I'll go back to the island, my home is in Sendai, let's go back to living incognito......"

The little ghost sneered twice, "Incognito, will you go back to China and become a pariah?" You don't want to think that you are the ** boss in Naha Port, drink the most beautiful wine, play with the most beautiful women, earn foreign money from all countries in the world, and you can still adapt to the hard life of your hometown after enjoying it?"

"Go back to the island alone, where all the territory is owned by the lord, and every inch of land is guarded by the lord's soldiers, do you really think that you can build another piece of industry?

The reprimand of the little imp made Evil Hachiro bow his head and remain silent, "Then what should I do? I can't wait for death here, even the army led by Kayama Kurigen has been defeated, what hope do we have." Don't talk about me, look at yourself, a failed ninja is not as good as a samurai, and the surname Xiao must hate you very much, you are much more dangerous than me......"

Maybe it was poked in the sore spot of the female ninja, the misty imp was silent, but in just a moment, the misty imp grabbed the wrist of Evil Hachiro, "We haven't reached a dead end yet, I still have a way, as long as you dare to follow me, I can guarantee that you will return to Japan, and you can also get the reward of the shogunate, maybe you will be accepted as a samurai by the Tokugawa family." ”

"Nani, aren't you crazy woman, the Tokugawa family wants us? Are you confused by last night's fire......

"I'm not kidding, have you ever heard of the Shinsengumi?"

"Is the Kyoto Shinsengumi the Shinsengumi, who specializes in assassinating the Restorationists and the Shogunate faction? How could you have any connection with them......

In the night breeze, Kirigain and Yahachiro didn't know what they were talking about, and in the sea breeze there was only the sound of the waves crashing against the reef repeating over and over again.

From Naha Port to Tanggu Port, it takes five to six days for a clipper to travel normally, and if the wind direction and strength permit, sailing at top speed, it should be possible to reach it in four days. The distance from Naha to Shanghai is much closer, and the fastest clipper boat can see the Huangpu River estuary in a day and a half.

Xiao Lotian didn't know that when the clipper ship he hired was hurrying to Tanggu to report the news, a British merchant ship also quietly left Naha and headed due west, his target was Shanghai, where foreigners gathered, and it was also a treaty port that the Hunan military forces attached great importance to.

Xiao Letian's biggest crisis is coming, this British ship will definitely send information to Shanghai, so that the Western powers know about this military conflict in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the news will soon spread throughout the Qing officialdom, whether it is the Hunan army or the Qingliu all over the country, and eventually including the Forbidden City will learn about Xiao Letian's victory over the Japanese.

Mu Xiu Yu Lin Feng will destroy it, Xiao Letian where is Mu Xiu Yu Lin, this is simply arrogant to the sky. No matter how powerful the Hunan army of the Zeng State is, it has exhausted its strength to fight the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and no matter how much the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty can boast, it is also a group of useless goods in front of the British and French forces.

Only this Xiao Letian, with dozens of caravan guards, was able to stir up 100,000 Chinese in Naha to play with the Japanese. And it's not just playing with life, but actually winning in the end, this is not a slap in the face.

"The more capable the Han people are, the more fearful the Manchu court will be, and the alien race wants to rule over the huge Han people, all of them are trembling and walking on thin ice, Xiao Letian, Xiao Letian, I don't know if you can survive this crisis? I am really looking forward to it......"

On a cold night, the sleepless Ryoma Sakamoto mutters to the moon, and kneeling beside him is the ninja of the Shimazu family.

"Big ghost, you have to remember that from today onwards we must be humble, especially in front of foreigners, we must fully express our fear and respect for Xiao Letian, and we must help him improve his prestige. Yes, the higher the better, and we want to make Xiao Lotian the king of this city!"
