Chapter 587: Destroying the New Land along the way

The jujube given by Li Mi was too tempting, Captain Lu finally agreed, they begged for a living at sea, which time was not life and death, if they cowered, they would have been buried at the bottom of the sea and fed the fish.

Success is taken in detail, wealth and danger are sought, no one knows this truth better than the thieves at sea, wealth is moving, as long as the interests are big enough, how bold people are.

Yan Siqi became the owner of the island, and his work efficiency was very high, and it was already prepared over there, and after the handover, Li Mi also asked Captain Lu's people to carry it privately, Xu was afraid that Yan Siqi would find out, and he didn't dare to ask for those muskets, but asked for a few cannons.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, he carried all the things Li Mi needed to the ship.

Thinking that Li Mi had already discussed with Zhao Sima and Zuo Di, no one thought it was strange, but Captain Lu had received Li Mi's warning, and he didn't dare to be shoddy, and the people he brought over were all experienced sailors.

Li Mi didn't sleep this night, and discussed secretly with Zhao Sima Zuo Huang and the two of them all night, and on the second day, Yan Siqi led the people on the island to come over to Li Mi to practice, and worshiped Mazu Niangniang and Guan Sheng.

Li Mi wanted to remind Yan Siqi, after all, this "Kaitai King" who is going to open up the Wasteland Treasure Island in the future, if he really lets someone like Captain Lu plot against him, it will be a little worthless.

However, Yan Siqi was too wary of Li Mi, and seemed to wish that Li Mi would leave quickly, Li Mi felt that Captain Lu didn't have the guts, and this matter was swallowed back into his stomach.

The brothers in the black prison put on the clothes and armor of Zhang Liang's personal guards, escorted Zhang Liang, who was already no longer human, and boarded the ship.

The third sister accompanied Yan Siqi, and seemed to be a little speechless, but in the end, she still watched Li Mi board the ship and leave.

After Captain Lu boarded the treasure ship, he seemed to be reborn, and there was no longer a shrewd philistine in his eyes, but a serious face.

Li Mi knew the rules of sea navigation, and immediately ordered him to go down, whether it was him, Zhao Sima or all the brothers, during the voyage, all matters related to the safety of navigation should obey Captain Lu's orders, and whoever violated it would be killed.

The brothers in the black prison are all people who have done great things, and they have been tempered into old ghosts in the black prison one by one, how can they not understand this.

Captain Lu sailed according to the chart, because the trade wind season had not yet arrived, and the currents were not fierce, and it was a coastal voyage, but it was also a smooth journey.

However, Captain Lu could also see that the destination of this chart should be the port of the Satsuma Domain, and as for which port it was, it would only be determined after arriving at the Satsuma Domain.

Zhang Liang is also heartbroken, because his biggest reliance has been seen through by Li Mi, and the reason why Li Mi didn't kill him was just to keep him just in case.

But at the moment, he is just surviving, these black prison brothers are not polite to him, and the beating in the black prison has already taken most of his life, and he would rather die happily.

After sailing for a day, at night, they finally saw the land, Captain Lu compared the chart, this should be a supply point in Taiping Road, Li Mi asked Captain Lu to stop the ship, Zhao Sima stayed, in order to prevent Captain Lu from running away with the boat.

Li Mi and Zuo Di rowed a small boat with the black prison brothers, sneaked into this small island to explore, and caught a few natives to ask, there is a small town on the island, which is quite lively, but the military resources and mercenaries of Taiping Road have long gone.

Those mercenaries were all red-haired ghosts, smelly and lustful, drunk all day long, looking for women and not giving money, and had a lot of conflicts with the locals, almost didn't let the locals rob the boat, and finally delayed leaving for two days.

I heard that Taiping Dao has a rudder on the island, and he does all kinds of evil on weekdays, just like Zhang Liang's style, guarding one side and oppressing the local people.

Li Mi discussed with Zuo Di, let the local natives lead the way, and destroyed the rudder overnight, Li Mi said that he let go of the women and children, and planned to hand over those people to the local natives to dispose of, but Zuo Di and the black prison brothers killed all the strong men.

In their words, they can tell by their eyes whether a person is good or evil, and they don't need to be tortured or killed.

As for Li Mi, he still doesn't have this ability, because Li Mi has not been in the black prison long enough, and there is still goodwill in his heart.

If they are like Zuo Di and the other brothers, they have already lost some of their humanity, and the wicked can see the soul of the wicked, because they are the same kind of people, and they can be recognized at a glance.

After all, this statement is too subjective and arbitrary, and Li Mi doesn't believe it very much, but after all, he is a person in the black prison, and he can also experience this feeling, but the kindness in his heart still makes Li Mi's subordinates merciful.

Because of the kindness of Li Mi and others, the indigenous people brought a large number of supplies to the big ship of Li Mi and others, and the people of Taiping Dao explained the location of the next supply point, and even the effort of comparing the charts was saved.

In the next ten days, Li Mi and others went all the way, and they didn't know how many Taiping Dao strongholds they had swept, and the situation was similar.

However, Li Mi can confirm a problem, the terminal of these ships is in the Satsuma Domain, but it is impossible to know which port they docked at.

After sailing for more than ten days, they finally saw a huge island, which Captain Lu said was the Ryukyus, and Li Mi had heard of the Ryukyu Islands.

Historically, the Ryukyus did not belong to Japan, but it was the Satsuma clan that conquered the Ryukyu Islands and laid the foundation, which gradually made the Ryukyu Islands become Okinawa for later generations.

It is said that it is now the year of Wanli, and the Ryukyu Islands are independent kingdoms, and it is only right that the Ming Dynasty is also respected as the suzerain.

However, when Li Mi's treasure ship arrived at the outskirts of the Ryukyu Islands, he learned that the Satsuma Domain had already conquered the Ryukyu Islands with the help of the red-haired ghosts!

If you follow the trajectory of historical development, this incident should have happened in 1609, that is, the thirty-seventh year of Wanli, but now it is only the thirty-first year of Wanli, because with the help of the red-haired ghost mercenaries and a large number of firearms, they have advanced this time by six years!

Of course, without the secret help of Taiping Dao and Zhou Yu, I am afraid that the Satsuma Domain will not be able to complete this matter.

In Li Mi's view, their purpose in conquering the Ryukyu Islands should be impure, and after a defeat on the Korean battlefield, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's strength was greatly reduced, but Shimazu Yoshihiro was preserved.

They are now hiring red-haired ghosts and buying a large number of firearms, just to counterattack the Ming Dynasty, how can they waste manpower and material resources to attack Ryukyu before the war?

Therefore, Li Mi concluded that they attacked the Ryukyus only because of the convenience of maritime transportation in the Ryukyus, and if they guessed correctly, those ordnance should be hoarded on the Ryukyu Islands!

Shimazu Yoshihiro has never been trusted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Taihei Province has supported Shimazu Yoshihiro without using it to blackmail Toyotomi Hideyoshi's political needs.

After thinking about these keys, it is not difficult to deduce that this Ryukyu Islands should be used as a base camp after their conquest!

Seeing this situation, everyone also cast inquiring glances at Li Mi and Zhao Sima.

The Black Prison brothers are as strong as a rock, and it is impossible to give up if they do not destroy the Taiping Dao.

Li Mi thought about it, and then said to everyone: "I'll go up and explore the way first, and then figure out the situation." ”

Everyone trusted Li Mi, and without saying much, they released the dinghy and sent Li Mi ashore.

After Li Mi landed, he found that the fighting had long since stopped, and there were red-haired ghosts and white-clothed Taiping monks everywhere, and the Ryukyu natives wanted to resist, but unfortunately they were too backward to pose any threat, especially in front of powerful artillery.

Li Mi turned his head to look and saw that there were ships like forests on the port, all of them were three-masted galleons, and he could vaguely see more than a dozen cannon ports on the hull!

With such sharp weapons, it is no wonder that the Ryukyu Islands cannot be defended at all.

Li Mi let go of his mind, landed from the secret place, and went around the island.

Li Mi's Japanese language was not bad, and at that time, Ryukyu was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and there were many ships coming and going, even if he didn't understand the Japanese language, the Ming language could be communicated.

The people here are also accustomed to war, and now calm has returned for the time being, except for the port, which is not allowed to enter and exit at will, the living quarters are unimpeded.

It's just that the Satsuma samurai and the red-haired ghost are searching the island for the rebels, and from time to time there will be gunshots and fights.

On the side of the road on the island stood tall spears, the heads of the rebels* on the tip of the spears, just like this on the roadside, the road on both sides was also littered with corpses, the finger-sized green-headed flies were densely packed, and when someone came, they flew around, and there was a strong smell of corpses in the air.

Li Mi walked to a small shop where he was resting, and he didn't dare to eat the food there, but he just asked for some water, and he was just about to drink it, when three or five people had already walked in from outside and surrounded Li Mi!

"You are not a local, you are not a red-haired ghost, and you are not a Taiping soldier, if you want to settle down here, you don't obediently honor a few grandfathers!"

I don't know how they saw that Li Mi was Han, or they didn't care if Li Mi was Han or not, and they were going to blackmail Li Mi by holding down the handle of the knife.

Li Mi glanced at it, these people were in rags, and their hands were all some broken copper and iron, where did they get any countertops.

Li Mi didn't want to make a big fuss, after all, low-key is the king, and he wanted to send these people away, but his eyes narrowed suddenly!

Because he found that the man at the head had been staring at his saber!

This saber is Zhang Liang's great long light, since this person knows this knife, it is absolutely inseparable from Taiping Dao!

Li Mi also knew that this knife was too eye-catching, and he didn't want to bring it over, but this treasure knife was as sharp as clay, and it could really save his life, so Li Mi had no choice but to wrap it in a black cloth.

The origin of the knife can be known only by the hilt, which is not easy for the person who is the leader!

If it is just an ordinary thief or deliberately extorted, the money is more convenient, and the name of the owner is usually engraved on the sword, which is easy to expose, and it is also a hot potato to snatch.

Therefore, they would rather hold broken copper and iron than use someone else's sword.

In other words, they didn't fancy the value of this sword, but recognized it!

Li Mi squinted his eyes slightly and observed, but those people rushed up without saying anything, raised the blade in his hand and greeted Li Mi!

If Li Mi was willing, he didn't need to draw his knife at all, and he could solve these people with three punches and two kicks, but Li Mi didn't want to do this.

At present, he landed and wandered around by himself, and there was no way to find out the news, these people naturally came to the door, and Li Mi would definitely not let it go.

As long as there is a fight and the characters behind them are brought out, they will be able to inquire about the news, as for these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, I am afraid that the information they know is all rotten streets, and Li Mi can't look down on it.

With such thoughts, Li Mi also relaxed his hands and feet, don't look at the table tennis play, in fact, Li Mi is unscathed, but these people were played around, and one by one they were bruised and swollen.

was fighting lively, but a person suddenly walked in outside, Li Mi was also overjoyed, and said that the master behind him finally couldn't hold back, and he had a way to listen to the news!

However, seeing this person, Li Mi was taken aback!
