The estuary of the Xiaoqing River is a very desolate bay mouth, and there is a fishing village nearby, except that there are almost no people, which is very similar to Shidao Bay in those years. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, the bay here is too bad, the water depth is insufficient, so Zhang Huan is very headache, he judged from the water depth measured by the boat, only the patrol boat can barely get close to the coast, other large Galen ships can not reach the shore, this is a huge trouble for a large number of people and horses to land.

Zhang Huan was demoted and confined after the killing, but he was reinstated a few months later, and this time he led a Song-class battleship, two Tang-class warships, five cruisers, and six clippers to come here, just according to the orders of Lord Zhang Gusheng, to explore the depth of the sea here, and see how to prepare here if tens of thousands of troops landed.

It seems that the only way to build a trestle is to build a trestle, and Zhang Huan has made up his mind.

Zhang Huan immediately ordered to disembark with the armor of the ship and start cutting down trees on the shore, and at the same time sent people to the fishing village to hire people to build a trestle bridge, Lord Zhang Gusheng's order was to prepare for the landing of the army, or not to land from here, but if Lord Zhao decided to land from here, it must be able to carry tens of thousands of soldiers and horses ashore in a few days.

Zhang Huan, as a sailor, didn't know why he had to land here, but he knew what kind of task Zhang Gusheng gave him, so Zhang Huan didn't dare to ignore it, his personal life and death were small, and it was irremediable to delay Lord Zhao's important matter.

All the men in the fishing village were summoned, and they were told that the Ming Tianjin sailors were going to set up a patrol point here, and they were hired to build a trestle.

Looking at the clothes of these officers and soldiers, it is indeed the Ming official army, but in these years, the Ming officials and soldiers have a fight with the bandits, and these people are all afraid.

Fortunately, Zhang Huan spent a lot of money in order to speed up the progress, and each family gave five taels of silver first, which made these poor fishermen feel like they had been beaten with chicken blood.

So more than 100 fishermen and more than 500 armored builders began to cut down trees in advance, while a clipper returned to Shidao and asked the sailor battalion to send more manpower, which was still not enough, after all, it was planned to build three or four trestle bridges.

At present, only one trestle can be built, and there is still a lot of manpower.

At this time, Ishishima was not idle, Zhao Lie sent away a large number of generals, and ushered in a news, that is, the Wa Shogunate colluded with the Satsuma Domain in Southern Kyushu, and let the Satsuma Domain and more than 2,000 Shogunate Standing Preparations in Nagasaki attack Ishihara Castle, where the Catholics rebelled in Kitakyushu, and if the rebellion could be extinguished, the Shogunate promised to transfer this territory of tens of thousands of stone to the Satsuma Domain.

The shogunate also had no way, and the Shogunate blocked the entire strait, so that the Shogunate rebel army could not land in Kyushu, and at this time, the Satsuma Domain, which was the strongest in Kyushu, became the only hope, so the Shogunate did not hesitate to drink to quench its thirst, and would rather give this fief to the Satsuma Domain, a secret opponent, to extinguish the rebellion as soon as possible.

Without hesitation, the Satsuma clan agreed, and sent 6,000 standing guards to gather more than 3,000 standing members of other small feudal domains, and more than 2,000 standing members of the shogunate in Nagasaki to send troops to Ishihara.

This time, the army gathered more than 10,000 remnants of the previous time, a total of 25,000 troops besieged Ishihara, they learned the lesson of the siege of the city by the upturned army, and began to besiege the city, never attacking the fortified city, and waiting for the city to run out of food and win without a fight.

After receiving the news, Zhao Lie immediately made a decision, and sent the Ishishima Naval Division and the Jeju Naval Division warships and the Korean reserve army in Jeju to start the operation, he would not let the shogunate's plan succeed, Kyushu is as chaotic as possible, and it is not in the interest of the Broken Army to restore calm.

To deal with the invasion of the Jiannu army at any time, only the merchant fleet is enough, and now even the artillery on the Galen merchant ships is enough to dominate this sea, and those warships are useless to stay here, just Kyushu and his party.

It has been more than 20 years since the Ryukyu Kingdom fell into the hands of the Satsuma Domain, and the internal and foreign affairs were basically controlled by the Satsuma Domain, and the Ryukyu King was reduced to a tool for sealing. A few years ago, Tokugawa Iemitsu had approved the annexation of the Ryukyu fiefdom of 120,000 koku to the Satsuma Domain, and the King of the Ryukyus was no longer called the King, but was renamed the Ryukyu National Division.

Now that King Shangning is dying, he feels that there is no hope of retaking the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the old empire in the West is indifferent to what happened in the Ryukyus, and the plea of the Ryukyu Kingdom to send troops to rescue is perfunctory, which has dealt a great blow to the pro-Ming faction of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and now the so-called government is controlled by the pro-Japanese faction.

King Shang Ning was now bedridden from time to time, and he knew that he had little time left.

Naha is the largest seaport on the main island of the Ryukyus, and it is also the closest seaport to the royal capital Shuri, separated by 10 li.

It was now guarded by a thousand Satsuma feudal clans, and the Ming merchants who came here had to pay taxes to them.

Kojiro Kameda was the general of the Satsuma Domain in the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was actually 2,000 men, 1,000 men stationed in Naha, 500 in Shuri, and the other 500 in several major outlying islands.

Kojiro Kameda has been stationed here for three years, and his life is quite good, and there is a lot of oil and water here, not that he dares to be greedy for the taxes paid by the feudal lords, but that the filial piety of merchants and ministers of the Ryukyu Kingdom can make him reap a lot of money.

What he cares about the most is the treatment of the emperor, who made him the general of the Satsuma Domain stationed here.

This **** had breakfast, practiced knife skills, bathed and changed clothes, and prepared to go to Naha Pier under the escort, which was a pleasant trip, and there was a harvest every time, which made him look forward to it very much.

However, today is not destined to be a good day, and the sailors stationed on the dock came to report that a large number of Nanban warships of the Ming army were found more than 20 miles away.

Kojiro Kameda hurriedly led the guards to the docks and gathered all the 1,000 standing preparations for battle.

Standing on the deck of the Black Tooth Tsune, Takasui Castle watched the situation on the dock with a telescope, and he clearly saw the Satsuma Domain, which was lined up in armor, and the number of people was not much, and it was estimated that it was about a thousand.

Landlord Wei stood beside him and was also watching the formation in front of him intently, he is now the commander of the Jeju garrison army, with 1,500 Han troops and 3,500 Korean troops under his command, these soldiers are all agricultural drills, a year and half a year, according to the intensity of the broken army, these soldiers are not low, but they have not seen blood, they cannot be called strong soldiers.

This time, the Wei landlord led 3,500 reserve troops to attack the Ryukyu Kingdom, leaving 1,500 reserve troops.

In his opinion, this is Lord Cho Yeol's trust in the Jeju Army, and he will definitely live up to his expectations.

Seeing dozens of huge Nanban warships approaching the boundary of several miles, Kojiro Kameda immediately ordered Standing Guard to evacuate the dock and retreat to the east.

Kojiro Kameda was not a samurai who had no knowledge of other feudal states, and he benefited from the knowledge of the Satsuma Domain, a powerful feudal clan on the sea, and he knew the power of the guns of the Nanban warships, and he was looking for death when he lined up on the shore.

As for the dozen or so warships of the Satsuma clan on the shore, they were not enough to stuff the warships of the Broken Army.

The troops of the Satsuma Domain retreated to a distance of three or four miles, and the warships of the Navy's navy were safely docked.

Four Tang-class warships, including the Kuroka Tsuneyuki and the Takasenzhi, faced the dock to warn of the Satsuma Domain's standing sneak attack.

Twelve Song-class warships, including Wu Lin, Zhang Xian, and Wu Jie, docked at the port one after another, and the Jeju garrison on board landed one after another.

Since all the dozens of Galen merchant ships were gathered in Jeju and Shidao, ready to carry the captive army brigade to attack at any time, and did not dare to leave lightly, Li Hu decided to transfer the guns of the Tang-class battleships and turn them into troop carriers to carry the troops.

As for escorting the Tang-class battleships, now there are no warships threatening the Tang-class warships in the entire Far East, and the Spaniards and Dutch are too busy to take care of themselves and the Japanese warships are completely lost.

The Jeju garrison landed in an orderly manner, and they landed with ten marching guns and 100 war horses, which were equipped for the night.

After all the reserves landed on the shore, they immediately put on their armor, and after they finished putting on their armor, they lined up and did not attack immediately, after all, they had been bumping on the sea for ten days, so they had to repair it.

And Kameda Kojiro didn't come near the dock, he waited for the arrival of the five hundred standing guards from Shuri, he didn't plan to defend the castle in Shuri, there were still a thousand Kingdom Guards in Shuri, this was the last armament of the Ryukyus, of course, it was divided, but most people definitely hoped that the Ming army would win.

Only if these people open a city gate to introduce the Ming army, Shuri will fall, so he might as well be happy with the Ming army outside the city.

Seeing that the Ming people were basically infantry troops, he felt a lot more at ease, although the Broken Army made the general suffer a big loss, but it is said that it was tens of thousands of cavalry troops, and the infantry army was against each other, and the Satsuma clan was really not afraid.

After more than an hour, the repaired Jeju garrison began to march eastward, and the two armies approached more than four miles east of the pier.

The bombardment of the ten marching cannons of the Breaker Army caused heavy losses to the Satsuma Domain's Standing Reserves, which had remained in a dense formation and were ready to engage them, forcing Kojiro Kameda to order the Standing Reserves to speed up and rush forward.

After paying more than 100 casualties, the Satsuma Domain's standing reserve finally approached the formation of the Broken Army.

A hundred steps away, the guns of the Jeju garrison were stimulated, causing more than 100 Satsuma feudal lords to fall to the ground with a wail.

However, the Satsuma feudal clan still fiercely rushed forward to seventy paces, and the two sides began to shoot at each other.

The Satsuma clan had the highest proportion of gunners among the Wa clans, reaching 30%.

Most of the more than 100 gunners in the front row fell to the ground and struggled, and the scene was extremely bloody.

This is a great blow to the soldiers on both sides, both sides are in a panic, one is a long-term peace, the other is a new soldier who has never seen blood, panic is inevitable.

Generals at all levels on both sides pressed into battle, forcing the soldiers to continue fighting.

The next two rounds of bombardment showed the superiority of Jeju's firecrackers, and the Satsuma Domain's standing firecrackers were empty.

At this time, the iron cannon, the most murderous weapon of the Satsuma Domain, was ineffective, and this was where the Satsuma Domain was more powerful than the other feudal clans of Wa Province.

The spearmen of the two sides were at a disadvantage, and the standing guards of the Satsuma Domain were already at a disadvantage, and the pikemen of less than 1,000 people faced the nearly 2,000 neatly formed pikemen of the Broken Army, and soon the Standing Guard of the Satsuma Domain began to be besieged from three sides, and even dozens of Jeju attacked from behind at night, and the Satsuma Domain finally could not withstand it, and the remaining five or six hundred feudal soldiers began to disperse.

Kameda Kojiro led the guards to counterattack and was killed on the spot, and the remaining hundreds of feudal soldiers were chased and killed by dozens of night horseback chasing and killing more than 100 people, and the rest of the feudal soldiers were forced to surrender, and they really couldn't run.

At this time, the Satsuma Domain on the main island of Ryukyu was empty, and King Shōnin heard that he was dragging his sick body and some of his close ministers out of Shuri Castle to greet him, and he thought that the day of Ryukyu was dawning.

Unfortunately, he died of illness two years later, and he did not see Zhao Liebu continue to occupy the Ryukyus, as the Choshu Domain did, and a hundred years later, the Ryukyus were naturally incorporated into the Central Plains.

After five days of repairs in the Ryukyus, the fleet drove directly to the Satsuma Domain with 2,000 Jeju garrisons. (To be continued.) )
