Chapter 145: Surrender to Anmi Island
Just when everyone was at a loss, Jiang Huanyan suddenly appeared with a large army.
In the face of a powerful enemy army, several major generals present all had their own evil intentions, thinking not about facing the retreating enemy, but about how to preserve their strength and try not to let their own people participate in the battle, so that they would have the strength to compete for the position of leader in the future.
Jiang Huanyan didn't care so much, and rushed over directly with the army, and the Anmei Island Navy fought separately, and they were all killed. The main generals who wanted to avoid the war just now were also killed by Shi Luosheng, Liu Zixuan, and Jiang Wan'er.
In the end, only Shimazu Yoshihisa's deputy general Chen Shuiying remained, and Jiang Huanyan specially told him to spare his life.
"Vice General Chen, do you know who I am?" Jiang Huanyan asked.
Chen Shuiying was surrounded by a group of people, and he was a little scared in his heart: "The daimyo of the Third Highness, who in the entire Ryukyu Islands doesn't know." ”
Jiang Huanyan snorted coldly: "Since you know who I am, do you want to fight or surrender?" ”
Chen Shuiying saw that the other generals were killed, and thought that he would not be able to escape death, but now listening to Jiang Huanyan's tone, it seemed that he did not intend to kill himself, so he hurriedly dropped the long sword in his hand and knelt on the ground: "The villain is willing to surrender, the villain is willing to surrender." ”
A look of disgust flashed on Jiang Huanyan's face, and she looked coldly at Chen Shuiying lying on the ground: "Do you know why I didn't kill you alone?" ”
Chen Shuiying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "The villain doesn't know, and I hope His Highness will make it clear." ”
Jiang Huanyan said: "You are a native of the Ryukyus, and we and Shimazu Yoshihisa are both outsiders, I need you to persuade the defenders on Anmi Island and appease the people there, can you do it?" ”
Although Chen Shuiying is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is by no means incompetent, otherwise he would not become Shimazu Yoshihisa's deputy general: "The villain can do it, if His Highness believes in the villain, the villain will go back to Anmei Island now to persuade the defenders to surrender, and from now on, Anmei Island will be dominated by His Royal Highness." ”
Jiang Huanyan's face looked a little better: "Of course I believe you, even if you have different intentions, can't I beat Anmei Island?" If it is just a hard attack, it will inevitably affect innocent people. In this way, I will let General Liu accompany you back, and if the second master who stayed behind has any objections to surrender, General Liu will help you solve him. ”
Shimazu Yoshihisa is dead, and even the generals around him want to compete for the position of leader, not to mention the second leader who stayed behind. If he refuses to surrender, Chen Shuiying's return will not make a difference. Besides, the people on Anmei Island, it is enough to have Chen Shuiying, who is greedy for life and afraid of death and easy to control, to appease them, but it is not easy to deal with it if there is a tough second master.
Jiang Huanyan asked Liu Zixuan to accompany Chen Shuiying back together, the purpose was also very simple, no matter whether the two masters agreed to surrender or not, it was better to kill them with a knife to save trouble.
Liu Zixuan also understood Jiang Huanyan's intentions, and stepped forward to help Chen Shuiying, who was lying on the ground: "Vice General Chen, without further ado, let's set off now." ”
While talking, he stretched out his hand to volley into the air, and his hand did not touch Chen Shuiying, but a strong internal force directly brought Chen Shuiying up.
Chen Shuiying was horrified in her heart, and the last trace of concern was dispelled, Jiang Huanyan sent a master like her to follow her, and her intention was obvious, that is, to monitor herself. If you dare to have different intentions, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to escape.
After the two left, Jiang Huanyan counted the surrendered troops, and now his own warships have exceeded eighty, if everything goes well on Chen Shuiying's side, then their warships will be close to one hundred and twenty. Coupled with the warships in Naha Castle, the number of troops has surpassed that of the Nine Demons Kataka. At that time, even if it is a hard fight, the Nine Ghosts Jialong will have no chance of winning.
When the army arrived on Anmei Island, the remaining two masters had been killed by Liu Zixuan, and the people on the island also decided to surrender to Jiang Huanyan under the persuasion of Chen Shuiying, and since then Anmei Island has also been officially included in the territory of Qi.
According to Jiang Huanyan's original intention, he also wanted to hand over Anmei Island to Shi Luosheng for trusteeship first, but Shi Luosheng didn't think about it and refused directly.
If he wants Anmi Island, he will have to send an army to garrison it, and now there are not enough troops to defend Naha Castle, so how can there be extra troops to defend other places.
Besides, the development of Naha City mainly depends on commercial trade, and the resources on Anmei Island are limited, and its development mainly depends on pirate trade, so if it wants to develop its economy, it can only rely on Naha, if Shi Luosheng accepts Jiang Huanyan's trusteeship, it will not be equivalent to helping Qi State develop Anmei Island for free.
Besides, once they garrisoned on Anmei Island, it would be of little significance for Shi Luosheng to use the Naha military port that Shi Luosheng had promised, because the Qi army could directly use the military port on Anmei Island.
If the Qi State gave up Anmei Island, Shi Luosheng could also justifiably occupy it and officially include it in his own territory, instead of helping the Qi State in the form of trusteeship.
The occupation of Anmei Island is a chicken rib for the current Qi State, and Jiang Huanyan would agree to help Shi Luosheng fight Naha, also because they did not have the energy to station troops overseas at this stage. If you want to garrison troops on Anmi Island now, it would be better to take Naha Castle alone, at least the cost of garrisoning Naha is much lower than that of garrisoning Anmi Island.
But any first-class general will also be an outstanding politician, such as Deng Yuanjue and Tian Wuji. Jiang Huanyan was the first person to fight in the navy, and he was born in the royal family, so he was naturally an excellent politician, and he would not have an opinion of Shi Luosheng because he did not accept the trusteeship of Anmei Island. Changing places, he himself will not accept this condition.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Huanyan had an idea in his heart: "Luosheng, our strength has surpassed that of Nine Ghost Jialong and Bukit, it is better to kill back to Naha City now." Whether it is war or peace, the initiative is in our hands, and you will be stationed in the Ryukyus for a long time in the future, I would like to hear your opinion. ”
Shi Luosheng lowered his head and pondered for a while: "Let's talk about peace first, Naha we have just defeated, and the people in the city are not of the same mind as us, at this time, there will be a large-scale battle, although we can win, there will be a lot of losses." In addition, I am worried that in addition to the local forces in the Ryukyu Islands, the Japanese will also take advantage of the chaos. ”
Jiang Huanyan smiled slightly: "Then listen to you, we will take all the warships on Anmei Island to Naha City, and see if the Nine Ghost Jialong dares to fight." ”
Shi Luosheng was taken aback: "Take away all the warships?" Don't you have to send troops to stay on Anmi Island? ”
Jiang Huanyan laughed: "There is no need to stay, I don't believe that anyone is so blind and dares to invade my territory of Daqi." ”
Shi Luosheng naturally didn't believe that Jiang Huanyan would be so arrogant, Anmei Island is also one of the top few big islands in the entire Ryukyu Islands, as long as the Qi State does not garrison troops, there will definitely be people who dare to occupy it, even if the Qi army comes back in the future, it will be a big deal for people to withdraw again.
