The weapons of the Ming Empire are something that Shimazu Mitsuhisa has never seen.

In Shimazu Mitsuhisa's memory, the firearms used by the Ming Empire before were basically similar to those used in the Japanese country, all of which were ignited by fire ropes, and in rainy weather, they were almost like burning sticks.

can see the weapons of the Ming Empire presented by Shimazu Mitsutsu, Shimazu Mitsutsu was dumbfounded, there are still such firearms in the world, and they can fire yellow and clear bullets without a fire rope.

Shimazu Mitsutsu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, looked at the old man Shimazu Mitsutsu beside him and asked bitterly: "Are you sure that the soldiers of the Ming Empire use this kind of firearms?" ”

Shimazu Mitsutsu nodded with a wry smile and said: "The head of the family, the information transmitted back by Ashigaru and Nakashinobi, the soldiers of the Ming Empire's army are indeed using such firearms. Whether it is rainy or snowy weather, it can be used normally.

And the firearms of our country still rely on the fire rope to ignite and launch ammunition. When it rains and snows, it's like a burning stick, and it can't be used at all.

Once the army of the Ming Empire attacked the Ryukyus in a big way. The head of the house, although the words are ugly, but the truth is also true. Once the army of the Ming Empire attacked the Ryukyus in a big way, the samurai of our Satsuma Domain had no other way to go except to withdraw to Kagoshima.

The only thing I am worried about now is whether the Ming Empire will be investigated to the end, and whether it will use the invasion of the Ryukyu Kingdom by our Satsuma Domain as an excuse to attack our Wa Kingdom proper. Once that's the case......"

Before Hikaru Shimazu finished speaking, he couldn't help but shudder. Shimazu Mitsuhisa was also pale, if the Ming Empire used the Satsuma Domain's invasion of the Ryukyu Kingdom as an excuse to attack the Wa Kingdom itself.

Then the Satsuma clan is about to spit out all the huge benefits that have been swallowed into the belly, including the profits. What's even more worrying is that the Satsuma Domain may even become the culprit of the destruction of the Wa Kingdom by the Ming Empire!

"Quick! Hurry up and drop! , send that Ryukyu king Shang Feng back to Ryukyu in a hurry, and recruit all the samurai of my Satsuma Domain in Ryukyu! Also, the old man, hurry up and send an envoy, no, the old man, you personally go to select the exquisite tribute, and then go to the capital of the Ming Empire, to the emperor of the Ming Empire, offer the sincerity of my Satsuma Domain, and persuade the emperor of the Ming Empire to collect troops......"

"Report! Report to the master! The king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shofeng, died of illness at his residence just an hour ago! ”

Before Shimazu Mitsuhisa could finish his explanation, a samurai hurriedly ran in, knelt in front of Shimazu Mitsuhisa, and said something that made Shimazu Mitsuhisa dizzy.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa's eyes were dark, and he directly fell on the tatami mat and did not wake up. was so panicked that Shimazu Mitsutsu pinched people again, sprayed tea again, and was busy for a while before Shimazu Mitsutsu woke up for a long time.

……

The Pacific Fleet of the Ming Empire knew nothing about the affairs of the Daimyo Mansion of the Satsuma Domain on Kagoshima, and did not bother to know about it.

Under the order of Zheng Sen, the king of Pinghai, an aircraft carrier fleet was the first to leave the port of Jilong and sail straight towards the north of Dayuan Island. On the deck of the aircraft carrier, Hou Abatai of the East China Sea, Zheng Zhibao, the commander of the aircraft carrier, and Shang Xian, the prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom, looked in the direction of the Ryukyu Kingdom with high spirits.

"Lord Wang, from now on, you and I will be ministers in the same palace, and we will take care of you more in the future."

Abbatey faced the sea breeze and turned his head to Sang-hyun with a smile. Zheng Zhibao on the side also echoed and smiled: "Yes, Lord Shang can lead the Ryukyu Kingdom to submit and be awarded the title of King of Ryukyu by the emperor, which is enough to pass on for thousands of years." In the future, we will have to ask Lord Shang to carry me a lot. ”

Shang Xian laughed and said: "The return of Ryukyu to the Ming Dynasty is just a return to the roots. can be generously gifted by the emperor, Shang is really a little embarrassed. Shang didn't understand the affairs of the court, and he had to ask the two marquis to take care of it. ”

After Jianwen ancestor Zhu Yunwen determined the strategic policy of recovering Ryukyu and pacifying the Wa Kingdom, Abatai found the son of Shangxian and conveyed the holy will of Jianwen ancestor.

I thought that the prince of Shangxian would be a little reluctant, but I didn't expect Abatai to just say this, but the prince of Shangxian was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.

After staying on Dayuan Island for so many years, the prince of Shangxian has long looked down on the position of the prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom. And on Dayuan Island, the Ming Empire is changing with each passing day, almost a small change a day, a medium change in a month, and a big change in a year.

Compared with the impoverished Ryukyu Kingdom, the life of the Ming Empire is simply like being in the fairy world. In addition, the base of the Pacific Fleet on Dayuan Island was also open to Shang Xian, allowing him to see the strong military strength of the Ming Empire.

The daily newspapers of the Ming Empire also report from time to time that today it was Li Zicheng's army that defeated tens of thousands of troops of the Mughal Empire; Tomorrow it will be Zhang Xianzhong's army to open up how many territories. This made Shang Xian understand that the Ming Empire was no longer the old central empire, and the fourteen non-conscripted countries in the ancestral training of the Ming Empire had long been abandoned by the current emperor of the Ming Empire.

Sooner or later, when the army of the Ming Empire looks back to the east, will the weak Ryukyu Kingdom still be able to keep its name as a vassal state?

Even North Korea, the first vassal state of the Ming Empire, has now become the territory of the Ming Empire? I heard that now in North Korea, no one wants to restore the name of a vassal state, and everyone is unwilling to lose the title of a subject of the Ming Empire.

Shi Jin, the governor of the Ryukyu Kingdom, who has been living on Dayuan Island with the son of Shangxian, and Mao Taijiu, the uncle of Shangxian, are also very much in favor of the prince of Shangxian leading the Ryukyu Kingdom to submit to the Ming Empire.

Instead of being scared all day long, it is better to join the Ming Empire, become a citizen of the Ming Empire, and live a peaceful and stable life.

After receiving an affirmative reply from the prince of Shangxian, Abatai was overjoyed and immediately called Jingshi to report to the emperor. Chongzhen heard the good news, and heard that Lao Zu ordered the Pacific Fleet to attack the Japanese Kingdom.

On the same day, he replied to the Pacific Fleet base on Dayuan Island, canonized the prince of Shangxian as the king of the Ryukyus, and after recovering the Ryukyu Kingdom, he attacked the Wa Kingdom and expanded the territory of the Ming Empire to the entire west coast of the Pacific Ocean.

Originally, Sanghyun was named the king of the Ryukyus, and he wanted to return to the capital to thank the emperor. It's just that after hearing Abatai say that the Pacific Fleet's plan to send troops is to recover the Ryukyus and attack the Japanese kingdom.

Shangxian immediately recommended himself to the emperor Mao Sui to follow the Pacific Fleet to recover the Ryukyu and attack the Japanese kingdom together. Chongzhen also understood that with the son of Shangxian with the army, it would be much easier for the Ming Empire to recover the Ryukyus, so he issued a holy decree to order Shangxian to return to Beijing after returning to the hearts of the people of the Ryukyus.

The carrier fleet of the Pacific Fleet arrived at the main island of the Ryukyus in the Ryukyu Kingdom one day later. The samurai of the Satsuma Domain, who was on duty on the main island of the Ryukyus, immediately panicked when they saw the huge warship and the flag of the Ming Empire fluttering.

Although before, there was news that the sailors of the Ming Empire were going to attack the Ryukyus. The samurai of the Satsuma Domain, who were stationed in the Ryukyu Kingdom, were also prepared to deal with it.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the sailors of the Ming Empire would have such a terrifying warship! This is not at all what the world should have!

Abatai on the aircraft carrier looked at the panicked harbor in the telescope and chuckled disdainfully. Shangxian on the side had mixed feelings, he had been wandering for so long, and on this day, he could finally straighten his waist and set foot on the land of Ryukyu again.

War, no, it's not a war at all. As soon as the aircraft carrier fleet of the Ming Empire entered the port, the marines under the command of Abatai rushed into the port, and after the sporadic gunfire, all that was left was to capture the prisoners.

There weren't many samurai of the Satsuma Domain, and they didn't even have a chance to escape from the Ryukyus, so they became prisoners of the Ming Marines, and those who didn't have a chance to become captives all went to the underworld.

The samurai who hid in the homes of the common people and wanted to get away with it were also caught one by one by the excited Ryukyu people and happily delivered to the Ming army.

Abatai did not stay long on the main island of the Ryukyus, and the army scattered out, and with the help of the local people of the Ryukyus, it took only three days to restore the entire Ryukyu Kingdom.
