The next day, on the seventh day of the seventh month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the battle of forced landing began.

Ge Chengjie, who took the lead in the beach, commanded 800 Goryeo smoothbore gunner stormtroopers, and they were out of the limelight.

These 800 people were all selected from the 4,000 or 5,000 people of the Eight Banners of the Goryeo Eight Banners of the Houjin Army who surrendered, and they were all strong people, and they played arquebuses for more than two or three years.

Ge Chengjie recruited them, each of them was given a salary of one or two taels of silver, and four buckets of rice and grain of true color, telling these people that this was a military salary during the probation period, and if they performed well and fought bravely, they would be treated twice as a regular soldier.

Next, Huang Jiayong's ordinary equipment was sent to train 800 Koreans, and these people survived in such a difficult situation of the Houjin army, which was definitely at the level of Xiaoqiang.

Ge Chengjie gave the preferred 800 Goryeo arquebusiers food and equipment, and the food was the same as that of the Huang family's auxiliaries.

It was as if these Smectas had come from hell to heaven, their obedience and discipline were impeccable, and they practiced hard every day, but they only achieved a little success after a month of training.

Now everyone can skillfully reload and shoot as they move forward, without any panic.

This is because they have never had the protection, the flintlock smoothbore gun in their hands is much easier to operate than the arquebus, not only the range is ten steps farer and the power is much greater, the most important thing is that no one has found that the gun has been blown up, and the safety is guaranteed.

Ge Chengjie gave a lecture to all the Goryeo smoothbore gunners at the moment before the landing, telling all the Goryeo smoothbore gunners that they were about to attack the Satsuma Domain of the Wa Kingdom, and that the Duke of Nanguo would see with his own eyes whether they were fighting bravely on the "Duke of Huaxia".

I followed Nanguo Gong for two months, I ate well, dressed well, had silver to get, and it was said that I would give them women to start a family after making war exploits, which was a world of difference from following the bitter Jiannu.

These Koreans who have lost their motherland have long returned to their hearts, and they all want to obtain military merits and become regular soldiers at this moment, so that they will naturally become the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the enemy they faced was the Japanese who had a long-standing vendetta against Goryeo, and of course they did not mind paving the way to promotion with the blood of the Japanese people.

The Eight Hundred Goryeo Smoothbore Gunners also wore helmets, visors, goggles, and light rattan armor to maintain their dexterity.

Under the cover of the heavy artillery of the battleship, the Smecta marched in a formation in the form of three strikes, without any accidents, and the samurai of the Satsuma Domain, who tried in vain to prevent the Ming army from landing, were beaten by Smecta's platoon guns and cried for their fathers and mothers.

Immediately, the private soldiers of the Huang family, who were armed to the teeth, also landed on Kagoshima one after another, and Quan Yong, Ge Chengjie and other thousands of generals received a strange task from the head of the family.

The Ming army could let go of the other Satsuma Domain's soldiers and civilians who did not resist, and selectively slaughtered the two surnames of the Satsuma Domain, striving to exterminate them all, and of course chose the two surnames "Sanben" and "Togo".

The invading army killed and looted all kinds of evil in Kagoshima, and the Huang family's private soldiers only carried out massacres against two surnames, and Li Guozhu's pirate troops had no rules.

This is nothing, the most cruel is about 700 Smectac, they probably suffered less than 100 casualties when they landed on the beach, and now they are killing them all with bayonets.

Kagoshima was defeated in half, and neither Huang Sheng nor Li Guozhu had any intention of occupying the place for a long time, and after slaughtering for a full eighteen days, they left behind and left in ruins.

Later, the history of the Wa Kingdom referred to this catastrophe as the "Eighteen Days of Kagoshima." "According to their statistics, 300,000 soldiers and civilians were slaughtered.

Huang Sheng didn't know if this number was right, because Quan Yong and Ge Chengjie didn't count when they killed, and they really didn't know how many they killed, but they only knew that more than 30,000 women of school age had been captured and brought back, because Zhongming Fort was guarded by men, and they needed to solve their personal life problems.

In the following years, whenever the seventh day of July came, the entire Wa Kingdom would ring the alarm bell for a long time, and when everyone mourned the innocent and tragic death of the Satsuma Clan's compatriots, one by one they scolded the executioners of the Ming army for being cruel and inhumane, hoping that hiding at home and scolding the Ming army would make them die a bad death one by one.

The purpose of attacking the Satsuma Domain is to take back the Ryukyu Kingdom from the Satsuma Domain and make it a prefecture of the Ming Dynasty.

Historically, the collective name and common name of the two dynasties of the First Shang Dynasty and the Second Shang Dynasty were the Ryukyu Kingdom, and in the early Sanshan period, the three kingdoms of Shannan, Zhongshan, and Shanbei were also called the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Due to its special geographical location, the Ryukyu Kingdom is known as a transit point for trade in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, and its trade is developed, and it is known as "Wanguo Jinliang".

After the Satsuma clan invaded the Ryukyus, the domain sent officials to measure and distribute the land, draw the national borders, and set taxes, and the Ryukyu kingdom became a puppet in name only.

The army of the Satsuma Domain that remained in the Ryukyu Kingdom to intimidate this small country by force was limited, but in fact, in the 37th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, when the Satsuma Domain seized the Ryukyus by force, there were only 3,000 men and horses, and more than 100 large and small warships.

However, with this little force, the Ryukyu Kingdom was easily defeated, and their capital Shuri Castle was besieged, and King Shōnin was forced to surrender, and more than 100 people, including the princes and officials, were escorted to Kagoshima by the Satsuma army.

King Shōnin was forced to sign the "Fifteen Articles" with the Satsuma clan in Kagoshima, recognizing the Satsuma domain's control over the Ryukyus, before he was released and returned to Japan.

Hundreds of ships of the Ming army rushed to Okinawa, the main island of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was strongly cut on the shore of the island, surrounded by many natural harbors and coral reefs. It has a tropical oceanic climate, warm and humid.

Unfortunately, the island is poor in resources and the soil is barren, so it is not self-sufficient in food.

Huang Sheng chose to take this place in order to obtain Iwo Jima, which is a small island of only more than 20 square kilometers, and is currently just a desert island that no one cares about, but it is blessed with sulfur, the most important raw material for making black powder, and the reserves are huge.

Although Iwo Jima is a small island, it is strategically located. Huang Sheng wanted to manage Okinawa and Iwo Jima, build port warehouses on the islands to stock up on supplies, and then use this place as a springboard to seize the Hawaiian Islands and directly face the North American mainland.

The disparity in strength was so great that the Satsuma Domain's troops left on Okinawa were vulnerable, their numbers were too small, less than 500 men, more than 300 were killed and beheaded, and more than 100 were captured by the Ming army.

King Shangfeng, who was unexpectedly happy, saw that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack the Satsuma Domain, and of course greeted him.

Last year, the Satsuma clan occupied Okinawa Island and established a building, making it clear that it was preparing to completely annex the Ryukyu Kingdom.

And the puppet king who has no military power can only cry secretly and has no choice, and now the arrogant and domineering Satsuma clan soldiers have either turned into corpses or been tied up into rice dumplings, and King Shangfeng is full of joy and sorrow.
