Chapter 596: Crusade against the Satsuma Domain

Yansui Town is one of the nine important towns of the Ming Dynasty, located in the middle of the Great Wall.

The opening of the "Huaxia Daqian Village" in Yulin City, where the General Military Mansion of Yansui Town is located, will make the surrounding merchants and border generals profitable, and the Huang family will infiltrate here as soon as possible, and strive to take the lead in accepting the border troops who are difficult to support their families, lest they defect to Li Duyan in the future.

When the imperial court was talking about how to reward the meritorious personnel of the "Jinzhou Great Victory", Huang Sheng did not waste time.

After inspecting the defense of Dongjiang Town at the end of May, he took 6,000 troops to "Huaxia Island," and Ge Chengjie also selected 800 people from among the thousands of Goryeo soldiers to form a smoothbore gunner stormtrooper unit.

At the same time, naval warships were assembled at "Huaxia Island" in the vicinity of Liaodong Bay, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the Sea of Japan.

Zhao Rui has always wanted to go to Liaodong to accompany the master, but the affairs of "Huaxia Island" are complicated, and she can't get out for a while, so she decided to recruit more high school and middle school graduates to intern this year and expand her management team.

In the past two years, the "Huaxia Investment Company" has vigorously opened up the market, and exported a large number of managers to "Lugong Island", Hainan Island and "Jiaozhi Province" to become leaders at all levels.

The business of "Huaxia Investment Firm" in Huaxia Island and Huangjiawan Island is also thriving, and there are always not enough management talents.

Zhao Rui, who has children and daughters, is the happiest, the rules of the Huang family are not too strict, and the family of the great master is completely different, the eldest woman did not deprive the concubine of the right to be a mother, Zhao Rui and Hexiang are living with their children.

The Ming Dynasty is not modern, some systems will be staggering, in history, Shaoxing Mansion Shanyin Xu Wei Xu Wenchang is a concubine, his mother is a concubine born of a maid, he was recognized as a concubine by the eldest woman, but his mother was sold.

This kind of thing that exterminates humanity is reasonable and legal in Daming, it is simply strange!

Of course, Huang Sheng will not agree with such a law, not only in his own family, but also in the form of law to recognize the legitimacy of concubines and the children born to them, but the concubines enjoy certain preferential treatment.

In the feudal dynasty, everyone could not be equal, Huang Sheng could only take his time and imperceptibly affect this era.

In fact, true equality for all people cannot even be achieved in later democracies, and it is already very good to be relatively equal.

The lord came to live on "Huaxia Island", Zhao Rui naturally served diligently, and the newlywed after a long absence was better, and the beauty had her own ten thousand styles.

Huang Sheng always fantasized about contraceptive methods in the future, because he found that Zhao Rui's age was the easiest time to cultivate, and this Nizi was not sure that she would get pregnant again, and it seemed very unfair to her to always have a child with a big belly.

After some lingering affection, Huang Sheng inquired about any ways to prevent pregnancy in this era, who knew that Zhao Rui was charming after asking the reason, and took the initiative to meet the old man and several times of wind and rain.

"Master, the slave family wants to give birth to a son for you, and there are many of them, and the slave family is not afraid of ......having a big belly all day long." Zhao Rui, who was enjoying the man's caresses, blurred her eyes like a song and a .......

"Rui'er, you have to live your own personality, it's not appropriate to think about giving birth to your master all day long."

"Master, you will soon become the king of Daming County, our Huang family's heirs are thin, of course the slave family is willing to add Ding to the Huang family for the master!"

It's all chickens and ducks! Zhao Rui deeply believes that many sons are blessed, and hopes that she can give birth to ten or eight sons for her master. Huang Sheng thinks that eugenics is the best, and it is better for Zhao Rui to have a son and a daughter under his knees.

The beauty is entangled with joy again, and she can't work hard to do what she wants! ……。

Ma Wu, the chief general who stayed on the "Huaxia Island", was the most excited in the past few days, and he had been training the villagers for three years, and finally ushered in his mentor to come to the "Huaxia Island" to inspect.

After a series of reporting drills and live ammunition shooting, Huang Sheng found that the villagers here had enough 10,000 musketeers who could skillfully shoot with flintlock rifled guns and 10 rounds of mini bullets in 100 paces, and he was very satisfied with the results achieved by this hard-working disciple.

Ma Wu was ruthless enough, and it was indeed not easy to train the senior townsmen to shoot musketeers, and Huang Sheng decided to lead Ma Wu's Qianzong to participate in military operations on the spot.

Give him three days to select two thousand people from the 10,000 outstanding senior village warriors to become regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, and re-form two new left-behind thousand generals with the old soldiers.

Due to the hard training and outstanding combat skills of the "Huaxia Island" villagers, the head of the family granted a quota of 4,000 regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers.

All the villagers cheered and thundered, and at this moment they no longer resented the usual strictness of the soldiers of the thousand generals, and everyone was eager to be selected as regular soldiers.

The two grass-roots officers of the newly formed 1000 General Officers were all promoted from the officers and men who had made meritorious contributions in the Jinzhou Southern Campaign, and it was relatively easy to draw out the 2000 General Officer Corps from among the veterans of the 6000 General Officers, and soon many officers and men who had made meritorious contributions were promoted to new posts.

At the beginning of July, more than 60 naval warships and more than 100 merchant ships used to transport land forces and supplies were ready for attack.

Huang Sheng led seven thousand infantry, including Quan Yong, Ge Chengjie, Huang Donghai, and Ma Qianpai, to cross the sea and launch a surprise attack, aiming at the Satsuma Domain of the Wakoku Kingdom entrenched north of Kagoshima in southwestern Kyushu.

Huang Sheng high-profile crusade against the Satsuma Domain under the banner of the Southern Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, for a high-sounding reason, the little Satsuma Domain actually dared to attack the Ryukyu Kingdom, a subject of the Ming Domain.

When the Ming Dynasty was strong, the succession of the old and new regimes of the vassal states had to be officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty, and the heirs would only be justified if they received the holy decree of the Ming Dynasty.

How dare the surrounding vassal states be disrespectful to the Celestial Empire? In the Wanli year, the national power of the Ming Dynasty had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent an army to seize Korea by force. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty all wrote to the emperor on the grounds of the emptiness of the treasury, asking the emperor to stay out of the matter.

However, the Wanli Emperor, who was angry with the ministers, insisted on sending troops to aid the court, and the household did not pay food, and the Wanli Lord used the internal money he had accumulated for many years, and it is said that the internal money was as high as more than 7 million taels of silver.

Under the banner of crusading against the Satsuma Domain of Japan, the Southern Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty punished them for attacking the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was a vassal of the Celestial Empire, for no reason, which was definitely a demonstration of national prestige, and the news would definitely be able to deter the surrounding small countries that were about to move.

Li Guozhu received a letter from Huang Sheng asking to send troops, and he personally brought 100 warships and 10,000 soldiers to participate in the battle.

He knew that every time he beat the Japanese country, their strength would be weakened by one point, and the security of his own Hirado Island would be strengthened by one point, so of course he enjoyed it.

With 40,000 naval and land troops combined, the small Satsuma Domain would be an opponent, but it only took one day for the heavy artillery on the battleship to completely destroy the battery artillery deployed by the Kagoshima Kitasatsuma Domain.
