Chapter 238: Landing in the Ryukyus
Shimazu Nakuri, the concubine of the Shimazu family, has been sent to the Ryukyu Kingdom for three years. Thinking about the Wa Kingdom, he didn't care about the life or death of the Ryukyus at all, and he left everything to his subordinates.
He was drunk all day long, and he hated his origin because of his imbalance. Why would his biological mother be a lowly geisha, otherwise he should be a general in command of hundreds of "armies", rather than a waste who has nothing to do in the tiny Ryukyus.
Especially a few months ago, the waste prince actually escaped, and the three Guan boats he sent out did not come back.
Shimazu lost his temper in the Ryukyu Palace, and even slept with the three women of the Shang family to calm the anger in his heart.
In the Ryukyus, only the women of the Shang family can enter his eyes, and the rest of the black and thin women are disgusting to look at.
A month later, the news of the Ryukyu prince finally came, but it was bad news that appeared in the Daming Kyoshi.
For this reason, Shimazu Nakarichi was also reprimanded by the Kagoshima family, and in his opinion, he could not return to the Japanese country in this life, and he would die of old age in Ryukyu for the rest of his life.
On the morning of this day, the hangover Shimazu had just sat upright. He glanced at the woman beside him, and the madness of last night was still fresh in his memory.
Just as he was about to do another morning trip, there was a sudden knock at the door: "Shimazu-sama! Shimazu-sama! ”
Annoyed by the disturbance of Shimazu Erect, he threw the short knife he had set aside at the door.
"Boom!" With a bang, the short knife pierced through the thin paper and hit the person outside the door. The sound outside the door abruptly stopped, and Shimazu pushed away the frightened woman upright, got up and dressed, and opened the door.
There were three samurai kneeling in the doorway, all of them frightened by the short knives they had just thrown from the house. The samurai, kneeling in front, raised his dagger respectfully above his head and lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at Shimazu standing upright.
Shimazu Nakarichi was very satisfied with the attitude of his subordinates, he nodded and said, "Mori Saburo! Next time, if you panic like this again, you will throw out a short knife without a scabbard! ”
Mori Saburo kept his head under his head and trembled uncontrollably. He replied, "Hey! Hi! Subordinates understand! ”
Shimazu pouted disdainfully and said, "What's the big deal?" You can tell! "In the past few years, Shimazu has dealt with trivial matters in the Ryukyus, and the only prince Shoshin has also escaped, so in his opinion, there is no such thing as a hundred thousand urgent matters.
Mori Saburo lowered his head and said, "Shimazu-sama! As soon as it was dawn in the morning, many large ships came to the sea, and they leaned on the pier and went to the dock to get on and off people. ”
"What?" Shimazu Straight could hardly believe his ears, a large fleet of ships could come from such a small place as Ryukyu? Didn't you wake up from last night's drink? Or is Mori Saburo talking nonsense!
He kicked over Maori Saburo and shouted angrily: "Yaga! If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will die! Dead! As he spoke, he drew the sword at his waist.
Mori Saburo quickly knelt down and said, "Hey! Yes, my lord. Go and see, the bay is full of boats! ”
Shimazu was shocked when he heard this, how many boats do you need to fill the harbor? These people must not have come well, and they are less than a hundred samurai in the Ryukyus, how can they deal with so many enemies?
Thinking of this, Shimazu stood tall and his eyes darkened, and he raised his foot and kicked the other two samurai.
"Yaga! What are you doing here? It's time to gather all the samurai and be loyal to the head of the family. Hearing Shimazu's command, several samurai immediately split up and ran.
Stepping on the land of the main island of the Ryukyus, Zhang Dou's heart was excited. This is his first overseas territory, and there will be a second and third ...... in the future, and the Huaxia will also run around the world with his fleet.
Just as Zhang Dou sighed, a voice sounded from behind him.
"Uncle! This place is too hot, we have to wear thick clothes on Changsheng Island, and we can be bare-chested here. Lao Hu can't stand this kind of weather, whoever likes to come here, Lao Hu doesn't come! Hu Tieniu's loud voice can be heard far away.
Before Zhang Dou could speak, Hu Tieniu was slapped on the neck.
"What do you say? Rice is abundant here, and even the lazy Ryukyuan people can grow so much food, and our Han people have not become rich in the past few years! You don't like to come, there are many people who want to come here! Ma Bao reprimanded Hu Tieniu after smoking.
"It's hot!" Hu Tieniu muttered in a low voice, there are really not many people in Changxingjun who make him afraid. Zhang Dou counted one, and he didn't discuss it for a minute to beat him.
When he first joined, he was very dissatisfied with Ma Bao, but when he saw Ma Bao bite a Jurchen to death in a battle, Hu Tieniu was scared to pee.
Hugging the enemy's neck and pulling the flesh down, anyone who sees it will be furious in their hearts. Since then, Ma Bao has been included in the ranks of those he can't provoke, and he is also obedient to Ma Bao.
The fleet of the Choheungjun army easily landed on the main island of the Ryukyus without any resistance, and the three Japanese samurai who had been collecting taxes on the docks fled without a trace when they saw the fleet.
The landing was unimaginable, and after several small boats of the Japanese Kingdom on the pier were towed away, the sea ships of the Changxing Army covered the entire harbor.
Groups of soldiers stepped off the ship, most of them, except for a few seasick soldiers, who were curious about the land that would soon become their eternal farm.
A veteran soldier who had lost a calf dropped his cane and lay on the ground sniffing the smell of dirt.
The young officer behind him helped the veteran up and said, "Uncle Fan! Our family has a piece of land with almost 300 acres, and you can do whatever you want at that time! ”
Fan Kuan slapped Zhao Xiaosi and said, "Your kid's task is to find a girl to marry quickly, Old Fan, I miss my grandson!" ”
……
The soldiers of the Changxing Army kept talking, and suddenly from a distance a group of people stepped on clogs, wore kimonos, and stuck a sword not much shorter than themselves in their waists.
There were seventy or eighty of them, and when they rushed to the docks, they were overwhelmed by the battle in front of them.
The harbor is already paved with sea vessels, all waiting to dock and unload their cargo. There were already thousands of people lined up on the docks, all of whom were tall and brightly armoured, and they looked creepy.
Shimazu stood upright and looked at his dozens of people, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He has the pride of his Shimazu family, and even if he is killed, he will not kneel and beg for mercy.
He straightened his clothes, straightened the sword at his waist and walked towards the docks.
Although Shimazu was afraid, he still had a certain amount of self-confidence. The Shimazu family has been in business for several years, and no one will dare to attack him with the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain.
When Shimazu Naktori just walked to the pier, "Bang! A bang rang out over the docks.
Shimazu stood upright and listened, he covered the bloody hole in his chest with his hand, and muttered, "Why don't you give me a chance to speak!" ”
