Chapter 360: The First Naval Battle
Eldest Sun Chong was reluctant to go to the kitchen and get food for these old things, otherwise they wouldn't let him go at all.
The eldest grandson rushed a table of good dishes, and finally blocked the mouths of these old guys. However, he took the opportunity to hide some good goods, kept them for supper, and opened a small stove.
Before I knew it, I was going to Ryukyu in half a day, and according to the icon, the journey was very smooth. Changsun Chong was discussing some details with Li Jing, but suddenly there was a sharp knock on the door from outside, presumably something big had happened.
"Come in!" The eldest grandson Chong said, "What happened? ”
It was Li Jing's personal guard, who replied: "There are still ten nautical miles to reach Ryukyu, but we saw a sea ship that is not our Tang Dynasty at two nautical miles." I don't know if it's a Ryukyu ship or a Japanese ship? ”
When Li Jing heard this, he asked, "How many more?" "Hehe, I didn't expect that before they arrived in the Ryukyus, there was going to be a big battle.
The pro-guard said: "So far, more than 50 ships have been found, but there are no chess pieces, so we can't be sure which country's ship it is for the time being?" ”
"Well, you go out first." Li Jing asked the guards to go out, took out the communicator, and began to search for the ships not far away, and when he heard their conversation, it was easy to know that it was a Japanese person.
"Dashuai, are we going to fight?" The eldest grandson asked, gearing up and eager to try.
Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Fight, since we are here, we don't have to run to the door to fight." ”
When the eldest grandson heard this, he smiled and said, "Then let's fight!" ”
Li Jing conveyed various orders in an orderly manner, and the fifty warships in front of him entered a wartime state, and had already aimed their guns at the Japanese people not far away.
"General, we don't bring a lot of ammunition, save a little, one ship for two shells. Just wait for the Japanese to fall into a panic, and then we will close the circle. Changsun Chong suggested, after all, I saw their boats just now, but they were all wooden boats. Compared with the ships of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the ships of the Wa Kingdom are very large, but compared to the ships of the Tang Dynasty, they cannot be compared at all.
Li Jing bowed his head, maybe he only needed a little force to solve it, and said, "Hmm." You're right, throw a few more bottles at the boat. ”
Finally within range, in order to be able to shoot more accurately and effectively, get closer. Those feather arrows of the Wa Kingdom could not hit the ships of the Tang Dynasty at all, so there was no need to worry at all.
Herald standing on a tall mast. A red flag in his hand, a green flag. Orders began to be transmitted to the ships.
Order. With a bang, a cannonball landed on the ship of the Japanese kingdom, sparks flew everywhere, and the sails also burned, and with another bang, the ship was cut in two.
The people on board were either killed or wounded. The rest of the people jumped into the water and tried to swim to other boats. But before he could swim to another boat, another boat was also blown up.
The Japanese who were still showing off their martial arts just now were thinking about how to take the Ryukyus in one fell swoop. The first thing is to find a beautiful daughter to be happy, and then grab some jewelry, then you will get rich.
But who can figure out what the situation is now! Drought and thunder fell from the sky, and the fire was splashed everywhere! Just as the Japanese people jumped into the sea and fled, the ships of the Tang Dynasty had already blocked the ships and sailors who were about to escape.
A few people who were proficient in the Japanese language, holding a loudspeaker of self-knowledge, said loudly: "Surrender or kill!" Stubborn resistance, there is only one way to die. ”
Soaked in the cold sea and scorched by the fire, many people had no choice but to surrender. Li Jing stood at the bow of the ship, holding a telescope, and said: "Drive the ship to the Ryukyu Kingdom and send the ship over, which means that our Tang Dynasty navy has arrived and has captured dozens of Japanese ships." ”
The naval battle has ended, and the navy of the Tang Dynasty has taken over all the navies of the Wa Kingdom.
Although Li Jing knew the power of gunpowder, he couldn't help but feel palpitations when he saw a ship being blown in two. But ending the battle like this is a bit unsatisfying!
Of the dozens of Japanese ships, in addition to the 20 that were sunk by the bombing, there were still more than 30 ships that had only received a little heavy damage. The two thousand Japanese soldiers who had been captured were gathered on ten of the ships, confiscated all their weapons, and crouched on the board with their heads in their hands.
If it were replaced by some backbone generals of the Wa Kingdom, maybe he would have committed suicide by seppuku, but this Ono Kiyoizumi is a good eater, drinker and merryman, and his father is a prince of the Wa Kingdom. When he heard that the Ryukyus had benefits, he robbed the errand and personally came to lead the troops to fight. originally thought that the battle would be nine out of ten, but I didn't expect to encounter the army of the Tang Dynasty.
The poor lord is still dreaming of getting the inexhaustible gold mines of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and no one in the Japanese Kingdom believes that Datang will really fight, after all, crossing the ocean and traveling thousands of miles is something that Datang is not good at at all.
Ono Qingquan was brought into the warship where Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty was, and as soon as he got on the boat, his eyes seemed to be not enough, hey, this is a sea boat, mighty and magnificent, and the most important thing is that he can set thunder and set fire. The Wa Kingdom is not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty at all, and sooner or later it will be destroyed.
"Who's coming?" When the eldest grandson saw that there was a small pricking on the door of this person's head, and the rest of the head was shaved, he felt that this hairstyle was too obscene.
Ono Kiyosen knelt on the ground very spinelessly and said: "I, Ono Kiyoizumi, am the eldest son of the prince of the opposite sex who is the lord of the Japanese country, and I came here this time to apologize, not to provoke a war between the two countries. ”
Changsun Chong really wanted to scold his mother, this person was too shameless, if he hadn't been stopped by Datang, it is estimated that this person would have hit the Ryukyu Kingdom a long time ago. With a fluttering apology, I thought about it, but the royal family of the Ryukyu Kingdom was served by the Japanese Kingdom.
As he was talking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the door was opened, and the Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Suran, stepped forward and gave Ono Kiyoizumi a kick and scolded: "You insatiable jackals, today I must avenge the lord of the country." As he spoke, he pulled out the long sword on his body and wanted to stab Ono Kiyoizumi.
Ono Kiyoizumi hid behind the guards and said, "You are too deceitful, and it is not me who killed the Ryukyu royal family, so why do you want to kill me." I've never been to the Ryukyus, so I became a murderer. I'm here to apologize, you can't do this to me. The Tang Dynasty is the suzerainty of your Ryukyu Kingdom, and it is also the suzerainty of our Wa Kingdom. ”
Su Lanan dared to be rude to Ono Qingquan, but he didn't dare to hurt the Tang guards, and scolded: "I, you still apologize?" Those of you who wear gifts that only need swords and arrows and do not apologize at all are simply talking nonsense with your eyes open. Our Ryukyu Kingdom is the suzerainty of the Tang Dynasty, but your Wa Kingdom is listed as a must-conquer country by the Tang Dynasty. Have you forgotten that the Wa Kingdom used to slaughter villages in the Tang Dynasty? didn't have a long brain, and came to the Ryukyu Kingdom to assassinate again. This kind of method of your work is really despicable. ”
Suranan was depressed for a long time, and finally found an outlet, caught up with Ono Kiyoizumi, and had another good fight.
Li Jing and Changsun Chong, looking at the nose and the nose, pretending not to see. Along the way, Suranan was depressed all the way, and today let him vent his anger.
After a while, Ono Kiyoizumi was beaten and his nose and face were swollen, and he wailed.
Li Jing saw that it was almost over, and said, "Okay, that's the end of today, don't fight." ”
"Lord Su, calm your anger, you will arrive at Ryukyu soon, these Japanese generals, this commander will definitely hand them over to you. As for what you do, it's up to you to do it. Li Jing said in a deep voice, he couldn't bear to look at Ono Qingquan with a blue nose and swollen face.
Suranan snorted and cried, cried non-stop, and said: "Thank you General, when the time comes, I will use these Japanese people to commemorate my king." "It can be regarded as a slight arrangement for the people in the country.
When Ono Kiyoizumi heard this, his eyes turned white with fright and he fainted. When they arrived in the Ryukyu Kingdom, they had not to be stoned to death by the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
The eldest grandson Chong listened and said, "Master Su, please hurry up, this is the beginning, and we will double our efforts to seek justice for you in the future." ”
Only then did Su Lanan calm down, choked up and said: "Now that the Ryukyu Kingdom is in turmoil, we need the help of the Tang Dynasty, and my imperial family has no heir now, and the whole country is like a plate of scattered sand." When I went to Datang, I appreciated the majesty of Tian Khan and felt the strength of Datang even more, so I asked to be incorporated into Datang and become part of Datang's territory. ”
They flew across the sea to Datang, but they came in a hurry, and they had no money on them, begging all the way. The people of Datang are very kind and very wealthy, and they are treated to them with hot rice, chicken, duck and fish for every meal, and they are seeing the rich life of the people of Datang.
They were even on the street again and saw the county magistrate giving way to an old man on foot. At that time, the old man walked very slowly, but no one urged him, but gave the old man a way, and it was not until the old man walked over that the others passed. Originally, they thought that this old man must be a big man, but later they learned that this was just a poor person in the Tang Dynasty, only because he had a cyan belt tied around his neckline, which was only treated by a sixty-year-old man who had come over. No matter how big an official you are or how rich you are, you have to be polite.
Things like this abound, and Suran envied the people of Datang from the bottom of his heart. Thinking of the original lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom, living a luxurious life, the life of the people below is very difficult, so it sprouts in my heart, if they also become the people of the Tang Dynasty, I think that they will be able to live such a life in the near future.
Suranam is an official who came out of the bottom and knows the suffering of the people. At the beginning, he also thought about replacing him and becoming the new king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but after seeing the strength of the Tang Dynasty, he decided to assist the Tang Army to restore stability to the Ryukyu Kingdom as soon as possible and let the people live a good life.
Li Jing and Eldest Sun Chong looked at each other and said, "What Master Su said is true?" Didn't you think about becoming the new king of the Ryukyus Kingdom? You must know that if you succeed in asking for help this time, you will definitely become a hero in the eyes of the people of the Ryukyus Kingdom, and they will also support you as king.
