The landing of the Ryukyu detachment at Tanegashima lasted about a day and a night, and during the early landing operation during the day, they repelled the defenses of the Kojima clan and succeeded in seizing the dock later.

After the hundreds of main forces of the Zidao clan chose to retreat on their own, the dozens of natives left in the port could not resist the attack of the troops led by Zhang Linong at all, and it only took them half an hour to end this small port, and in the battle, there was no large-scale destruction of the facilities in the port, and the simple wharf was very well preserved.

Although the dock is small, it is also capable of mooring ships and unloading all kinds of supplies.

After the transport ship docked, the first materials to be unloaded were artillery, followed by various ammunition and other supplies, and finally, the 300 sailors and gunners who were freed up also landed one after another and joined Zhang Linong's ground combat unit.

By the time dawn the next day, the Marine Corps under Zhang Linong's command had nearly 900 men, and these 900 men had artillery firepower that the army could hardly imagine, and they had 12 5-pound cannons, two 9-pound cannons, and a 24-pound howitzer, as well as more than a dozen shotguns.

Because of the large number of artillery, in fact, nearly 200 of Zhang Linong's troops were artillerymen, and only 6 or 700 infantry.

But relying on these two hundred artillerymen, it is actually impossible to bring these guns to the battlefield and put them into operation, in fact, these two hundred artillery pieces are the gunners who directly use to control the artillery, and they are not responsible for transporting the artillery and carrying the shells.

However, it is impossible for the Ryukyu detachment to allocate any transport forces to them, and there are no animals in the fleet such as horses and horses.

Under normal circumstances, this transportation of artillery and ammunition would become a huge problem, but for the Datang Navy, this is not a problem, they have encountered this kind of thing many times, and they have already had a mature plan.

What if there are no horses and other livestock, what if you can't recruit enough horses? Who said that the cannons have to be horses and other livestock, and the people can do it too!

Therefore, after taking control of the wharf, Zhang Linong's troops also quickly began to recruit local young and strong natives!

In the process of recruiting young people, it is inevitable that there will be some problems such as language barriers and unwillingness of the natives, but these problems are not a problem in the face of bayonets!

So when they set off the next morning, Zhang Linong had almost recruited the young men of this small port and several nearby villages, not only the young men, but in fact, even the half-grown children and the elderly men in their forties and fifties were all recruited, and even some women who looked relatively strong were recruited.

At the time of the conscription, there were some minor troubles at first, but the interpreter in the fleet said that if the conscription was brought in, he could eat two meals a day for free, and the opposition of the natives quickly subsided.

In this era, no matter what place it is, eating a full stomach is the last word, and food is the most valuable hard currency.

The marines of the Tang Dynasty gave them food, and they wouldn't mind working as coolies for these outsiders, and many of them were even happy!

As a result, when Zhang Linong's troops set off the next morning, in addition to the 900 naval officers, they were accompanied by more than 500 natives, who mainly helped transport artillery, ammunition and other supplies.

After Zhang Linong led the army to set off, he did not engage in any complicated tactics, but went north directly along the western coastline of Tanegashima, and did not divide his troops or anything, after all, they only had a total of 900 soldiers, and Tanegashima was not a big place, and the east-west width of the island was only five or six kilometers.

The speed of their march was not fast, mainly due to the slow marching speed of the artillery units, and they could not walk a kilometer or two in an hour.

However, although the overall speed of the march was not fast, the speed of the forward sent out was not slow, and it only took them half a day to reach the middle of Tanegashima, because there was also a small village here, and they also found many natives in and around this village.

The forward force was only half a team of dozens of people, and they did not rashly launch any attacks, but conducted several detailed armed reconnaissances, and found that these natives were not armed men, they were all ordinary natives, but these natives obviously also received some news, hiding in the simple village with all kinds of rudimentary weapons to guard.

However, after a tentative assault by the forward forces, the natives collapsed without surprise.

When Zhang Linong led the main force to arrive at the village in the middle of Tanegashima, the fleet sent a communication boat to report that they had successfully intercepted several indigenous ships trying to cross the sea and flee north in the north of Tanegashima this morning, and informed them that the main force of the local natives was now gathered in the northern part of Tanegashima for the marines to go quickly.

After thinking about it, Zhang Linong decided not to wait for those artillery, and led the infantry troops north first.

At this time, his troops were only about ten kilometers away from the northern part of Tanegashima, and if he used an ordinary speed, it was actually a matter of two hours, and the speed of the army's march was slower, but three hours was enough.

This also means that he will be able to reach the northern part of Tanegashima in the evening, and then confront the main local indigenous forces, the attack is definitely not attacking, he will not fight indiscriminately without artillery, what he wants is only to contain and give those natives a certain amount of pressure, so as not to have any other accidents.

In the evening, he finally arrived at the northern part of Tanegashima with about 500 infantry, where there was also a small port, and as soon as he arrived, he found that the hundreds of main forces of the natives were really here.

But after arriving, Zhang Linong did not choose to take the initiative to attack, and those natives did not dare to fight back, so the confrontation appeared.

It was not until the morning of the next day that Zhang Linong waited for his artillery unit!

After the artillery arrives, you don't need to prepare much, just open fire!

When the rumbling cannon sounded, Zhang Linong also led the troops to attack, but he had just launched the attack for only half an hour, and the infantry had not rushed up, and the opposite side raised a white flag and surrendered.

This is a surrender?

Zhang Linong was a little dumbfounded, didn't he say that the Fusang people were all dead-headed, and they would rather fight to the death than surrender? Why did you surrender as soon as you started fighting!

And if they surrender, what will happen to these people in the future?
