Volume 5 Chapter 69 Stirring up the Satsuma Domain
Zhang Bin actually knew that the people of the Satsuma Domain were coming, and he had already spread the sentinel ships all over the north of Ryukyu Island, and the fleet of Kayama Kumori had just appeared more than 100 miles north of Ryukyu Island, and it was discovered by the sentinel ships.
For more than 100 miles by sea, it takes about two hours for the galleys, and the wheels don't even need an hour, so he already knew more than an hour in advance that more than a dozen warships under the banner of the Satsuma Domain were coming.
Such a small number of people can't arouse his interest, what he wants is the main force to annihilate the Satsuma Domain, in order to paralyze this group, he deliberately let all the soldiers stationed in Naha Port hide their strength.
For example, flintlock guns, tiger squat cannons or something, all put away, and the Zhenyuan cruiser is a little far away from the port dock, so you can't let the little devils see the real thing, and don't let the little devils see the earth-shattering thunder or anything.
Therefore, Huashan Jiushou walked all the way, except for seeing that the Ming army had more than 20 large and terrifying warships, nothing else was a big deal.
The number of Ming troops is indeed a bit large, but they are full of cold weapons in their hands, what spears, wolf wives, palladium, bows and arrows, it may be possible to fight pirates, but it is nothing in front of the army of the Satsuma Domain, because the Satsuma Domain already has muskets and artillery at this time.
He mistakenly thought that the equipment of the Ming army was not as good as their Satsuma Domain, so when he walked into the tent, he was quite arrogant, and his nostrils were directly facing the sky, and he didn't even look at Zhang Bin.
Zhang Bin was more arrogant than him, and when he saw this kid coming in, he immediately patted the shocked wood and shouted: "Who is here, don't you know how to kneel when you see this official?" ”
Birch Mountain Jiushou was taken aback by his shocking wood, what kind of thing is this, the noise is so loud, he stared, looked at the shocking wood in Zhang Bin's hand, and his face was already angry.
At this time, Sarufei Sasuke repeated Zhang Bin's words again vividly, and he suddenly said angrily: "Yaga, I am the Daimyo of the Satsuma Domain, and I am the chief executive of the Satsuma Domain, and I kneel for a long time. ”
Zhang Bin listened to Sarufei Sasuke's translation, and asked with an arrogant expression, "What kind of official is this formation?" ”
There is no need to ask Kayama Kumori about this, Sarufei Sasuke replied directly: "It's probably equivalent to our chief flag officer." ”
A small general flag dared to scream in front of the governor, Zhang Bin seemed to be a little angry, he pointed to Huashan Jiushou, and said disdainfully: "Tell him, how big your official position is, and how big an official this official is." ”
Sarufei Sasuke thought for a while, and then said sharply: "Yaga, you are a fart in this formation, your general is not as high as my position, do you know how big an official you are, your shogunate generals are not as big as him, you are too presumptuous, don't kneel!" ”
When Huashan Jiushou heard this, he said disdainfully: "You officials of the Ming Kingdom, it's my business." ”
Zhang Bin listened to Sasuke's retelling, and immediately slapped the shocked wood, and said angrily: "Presumptuous, press him down for me, slap his mouth." ”
Before Huashan Jiushou could figure out what was going on, Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru, who were standing on both sides, suddenly rushed up, grabbed his arm and prepared to press it to the ground.
This guy still has a bit of kung fu, and I don't know how he broke free after a few twists.
He glared at Zhang Bin and was about to curse, but Sarufei Sasuke suddenly came up, shook his hand and slapped him with big ears, and directly hit him with gold stars in his eyes.
Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru didn't expect this guy's kung fu to be so good, and he accidentally broke free, shameful, the two of them took advantage of his stunned kung fu to buckle the veins of his left and right hands, twisted back, and bent his knees with two feet.
"Ahh , Birch Mountain Jiushou screamed in pain, and was pressed to his knees and couldn't move.
It was too much, and Kayama Kumori roared, "I am the envoy of the Satsuma Domain, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zhang Bin plucked his ears boredly, and said proudly: "Only when there is a national credential is called a messenger, have you submitted the national credential?" A big official of Fanbang sesame mung bean dares to be presumptuous in front of the governor, and it is light to reward you with a slap, in Daming, you will be beheaded like this! ”
When Huashan Jiushou heard this, he said in his heart, this guy is such a big official, he doesn't even care about the war between the two countries in order to show off his official authority!
He is not the kind of stupid second stunned person, he still understands the truth that a hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, if this guy really plays official power and slaughters him, it will be slaughtered in vain.
He hurriedly softened and said: "I came to find King Shangfeng of the Ryukyu Kingdom, I didn't know that my lord was here, I was offended, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”
At this time, he didn't want to intimidate the Ming army, he just wanted to get out and go back quickly, find a way to move the feudal lord, and send a large army to clean up this guy.
Of course Zhang Bin won't really cut him down, he just deliberately humiliated this guy, this guy has been humiliated so much, he will definitely try his best to retaliate after he goes back, this is his method of agitation.
Birshan's eyes rolled wildly, and his duplicity had all fallen into his eyes, and it seemed that the heat was about the same, and he immediately said arrogantly: "It's about the same, go back and tell you what kind of bullshit Satsuma Domain Lord, Ryukyu is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't be bullied." ”
Biryama Hisamori swallowed his anger and said, "Okay, I know." ”
Zhang Bin continued to say proudly: "Also, I heard King Shangfeng say that you have invaded and occupied the five islands of Amami in the north of the Ryukyus, you had better return it immediately, and make up the other five islands to compensate the Ryukyu Kingdom, otherwise, this official will destroy your Satsuma Domain!" ”
This guy has such a big breath, and Kayama Kumori held back his anger and nodded, "Okay, I'll tell the lord of the domain." ”
That's all there is to it, Zhang Bin waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, get out." ”
At this time, Zhang Cha and Zhao Rucai let go of their hands and retreated to the side, and Huashan Jiushou listened to Sarutobi's retelling, and then slowly got up, arched his hand towards Zhang Bin, and then turned around and walked out, as soon as he turned his face, his eyes showed a raging fire, dog thing, you wait for me, wait for me to lead the army to come and catch you, see how I humiliate you.
Zhang Bin looked at his back with a weird smile on his face, boy, don't let me down, bring the army to take revenge!
In order to show his arrogance and anger Satsuma Domain, he decided to slowly march north to "recover" Amami Goshima.
Early the next morning, he set off with a huge fleet, and the Qi family army did not accompany him, but King Shangfeng sent Lin Dehong to accompany him with a few subordinates.
The division is a local official of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which is roughly equivalent to the officials at the level of the Ming County Order, the prefecture, and the prefect, of course, the place under their jurisdiction is not very big, at most one or two islands, and these divisions were driven back to the Ryukyu Island by the Satsuma Domain from the Amami Five Islands, and King Shangfeng sent them to accompany them, mainly to show Zhang Bin the way.
This Amami Goto Island is actually the general name of the northern territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom, from Ryukyu Island to the north, there is exactly one island every 100 miles or so, namely Yoron Island, Okinirabu Island, Tokunoshima, Amami Oshima, and on the right side of Amami Oshima there is a small island called Kikai Island, these five islands together are called Amami Goshima, and further north, it is the boundary of the Toei Satsuma Domain.
Sailing more than 100 miles north from Ryukyu Island, the first island is Yoron Island, according to the map provided by the Ryukyu Kingdom, this island is about ten miles in a radius of about ten miles, there are two fishing villages on the island, and then there is nothing, of course, this is only the situation before the withdrawal of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Amami Goshima has been ceded to the Satsuma Domain for almost 20 years, and what the island is like now, the Ryukyu Kingdom does not know.
In fact, there are not many garrisons on these islands at this time, because the Ryukyu Kingdom has a total population of more than 100,000 at this time, and most of them are concentrated on Ryukyu Island, and the other islands are not very developed, and at most there are a few fishing villages where fishermen gather, and there are no cities at all, and it is not of much value to defend them, so the Satsuma Domain did not send many people to garrison.
Even the Ryukyu Kingdom did not know about this situation, and of course Zhang Bin did not know, he thought that people would send at least a few hundred or thousands of people to garrison each island, so he was particularly careful when he went.
Anyway, his trip was not really to recapture the five islands of Amami, but to stimulate the Satsuma Domain, so he was not in a hurry, for the sake of insurance, he asked Zhao Ru to take ten special operations teams under his command and drive ten wheels to investigate first, while he led the fleet to wait in the northern waters of Ryukyu Island, ready to attack at any time.
Zhao Ru took the task and immediately set off with people, according to the map of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the two fishing villages are on the west side of Yoron Island, so he deliberately led his team to the east for more than ten miles, and then slowly leaned up.
After going around for more than an hour, a black dot finally appeared in front of the right, which should be Yoron Island, Zhao Ru took out his telescope and took a closer look, and he could vaguely see the outline of the dot, as if it was a barren land, and there were no fortresses, forts, city walls or anything.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered ten wheels to line up and slowly approached the island, until he was close to the coast, but he still found no man-made structures, not even flowers and trees, and the entire eastern part of the island was deserted.
It was clear that the Satsuma clan had not developed this area, which was a good situation, at least he did not have to worry about being discovered, so he immediately ordered that all the wheels should be close to the beach, and that one person in each line would stay and guard the boat, and the others would all wade ashore.
After nearly half an hour of busy work, a total of 110 elites of the 10 teams of special operations battalions finally landed on the beach, Zhao Ru carefully observed the terrain, and then divided into five teams to search in the northwest direction, while he himself took the other five teams to search in the southwest direction.
The five teams were distributed within five miles, and they searched carefully for nearly half an hour, but still did not see anyone, at this time, the fishing village in the southwest was already in sight, Zhao Ru took a team to climb a small dirt slope, and then took out a telescope to show his head, and looked cautiously into the fishing village.
There are about 30 households in this fishing village, all of them are low small bungalows, he looked carefully for a long time, and still found nothing, except that the bungalows are bungalows, not even a decent watchtower, the whole fishing village is normal, some fishermen are clearing the nets, some are drying fish, some are busy working in the vegetable field, some are resting in front of the house, there is nothing abnormal!
What's going on here?
Zhao Ru thought about it, and simply ordered, and the five squads dispersed, surrounded the entire fishing village, and then slowly touched it.
It was nearly half an hour, and Zhao Rudu led the team to touch the vegetable field next to the fishing village, and the entire fishing village still didn't move at all!
At this time, a fisherman came over with a vegetable basket, as if he wanted to pick some vegetables in the vegetable field, Zhao Ruyi gritted his teeth, jumped up, pounced on the fisherman's mouth, and dragged him behind the mound where the team was hiding.
The fisherman turned pale with fright, trembled all over, and almost peed his pants.
Zhao Ru said embarrassedly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, if you promise not to shout, I will let go of my hand, okay?" ”
When the fisherman heard this, he calmed down and nodded slightly.
Zhao Ru carefully let go of his hand, and the fisherman really didn't shout, he just asked curiously, "Who are you, are you from Ryukyu Island?" ”
Zhao Ru spoke with an official tone, but the fisherman spoke an authentic southern Fujian dialect, fortunately Zhao Ru was a native of Fujian, otherwise he really couldn't understand what he was saying.
The Ryukyu Kingdom has been promoting the Chinese language for more than 200 years, and it is not strange that the common people speak Hokkien dialect, Zhao Ru is just strange, why did this person tremble with fear at first, but he was not afraid at all at this time, he asked curiously: "Do you believe that we are not bad people?" ”
The fisherman nodded and said, "Of course, the bad guys speak the language of birds, where will they speak our Ryukyu official dialect." ”
Well, it seems that they know very well that Dongying is a bad person.
Zhao Ru hurriedly asked: "What about the bad guys on the island, why haven't we seen any of them?" ”
The fisherman cautiously poked his head out from behind the mound, pointed to the largest courtyard in the village, and said, "The bad guys are all there, ten people in all, and they don't usually come out, only when our fishing boats go out to sea to fish or come back from fishing, they will go to the fishing port to collect rent and check the population." ”
Ten people in total!
When Zhao Ru heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and he asked in disbelief: "Are there only ten bad people on the island?" ”
The fisherman hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, there are still ten in the Camellia Village in the north, and there are a total of twenty bad people on this island." ”
A total of twenty people can control two or three hundred people, this is too strange, Zhao Ru was curious: "Why don't you resist, you can go to Ryukyu Island to report the news." ”
The fisherman looked frightened, shook his head and said: "No, they all have weapons, we are not opponents at all, and every time they go to sea, they will set a time to check the number of people, and if they don't come back within the specified time, they will go and arrest all the families of those people and send them to Dongying!" ”
It turned out that this was the case, there were only ten people in total, these fishermen were afraid, but he was not afraid, he thought about it, and simply ordered: "Inform everyone, follow my order to rush to that courtyard together, and kill those ten widows." ”
When the special combat team members behind him heard this, they immediately scattered, and after a while, everyone ran back one after another, Zhao Ru counted the number of people, and then jumped on the dirt slope and waved his hand, and forty or fifty special combat team members immediately rushed out from all over the village, rushing towards the courtyard next to the fishing port.
Zhao Ru also drew his saber and rushed up with his team, the entire fishing village was suddenly in chaos, and suddenly there were so many people carrying knives, it was strange that those fishermen were not afraid.
The fisherman who had just been caught by Zhao Ru hurriedly followed them and shouted: "Don't be afraid, your own people, your own people, they are coming from Ryukyu Island." ”
Zhao Ru didn't care so much, he rushed directly into the courtyard in the middle with people, and cut down when he saw people, and soon, ten Japanese robbers were cut down by them, and the whole village suddenly burst into cheers.
When Zhang Bin heard Zhao Ru's report, he couldn't cry or laugh, the Satsuma Domain actually sent a total of two teams of twenty people to garrison Yoron Island, and he didn't need to lead the fleet over, Zhao Ru took people to cut down all the little devils on it!
However, he was not in a hurry to advance, because at this time the main force of the Satsuma Domain had not yet come to attack, and it was impossible for him to occupy this place, and in order to attract the main force of the Satsuma Domain to Naha Port, he would definitely have to give up here, so he simply ordered someone to gather the fishermen here and move to Ryukyu Island first, so as not to kill them all by the Dongying people to vent their anger.
