Satsuma Peninsula, Izumi-gun.

As Shimazu Narugumo, a middle-aged and emaciated samurai, had predicted, the Ming navy captured the port of Exit in one fell swoop after destroying the Japanese reinforcements from the port of Demizu, which was trying to reinforce Lidao, and then pocketed the empty Izumi-gun.

Now, the wharf of the export port is full of ships of the Ming army's sailors, attracting many Japanese people on the shore to watch, talking to each other, whispering, and their eyes all show a look of shock, they are the first time to see such a magnificent fleet, and the kind of big ship like a hill has never been seen.

Originally, the Japanese people on the dock thought that the Ming army was going to bring a massacre, after all, the wars between the various daimyo of the Japanese kingdom ended with the killing of the people of the defeated country, and the Ming army was a foreign army and would definitely carry out a large-scale killing.

But to the surprise of those Japanese people, although the Ming army sailors occupied Chushui County, they did not kill as they imagined, but did not commit any crimes against the autumn, and even opened the granary of the local government to relieve those poor people.

After entering Izumizu-gun, the Ming navy immediately posted notices on the streets and alleys, telling the local people that because Shimazu Mingyun sheltered the pirates of the Wa Kingdom who attacked the Ming Dynasty Nanzhili Songjiang Prefecture, and when the shogunate's mediation was ineffective, the Ming Navy Division traveled a long distance to Satsuma to ask for the guilt, and as long as the local people kept to themselves, then the Ming Army Sailors would protect their safety.

To tell the truth, the Japanese people were not interested in the notices posted by the Ming army's sailors, but the Ming army's sailors opened the granaries of the local government to open the warehouses to release grain, which had a huge impact on them, so that the fleeing people returned one after another after learning the news. Not only that, Li Yuntian also ordered the accompanying military doctors of the Ming Army's naval division to treat the local Japanese people free of charge, and helped the Japanese people repair their houses, and a series of friendly actions quickly won the favor of the local people.

In order to avoid the resistance of the local Japanese people, Li Yuntian deliberately asked Yamaguchi Keiko and other Japanese people to come forward to coordinate the relationship with the local people, and also posted a reply letter from the shogunate to him to corroborate the purpose of the Ming army's sailors to come to Satsuma this time.

With the implementation of Li Yuntian's series of measures to reassure the people, the local situation gradually stabilized, and the Japanese people turned from fear to curiosity about the Ming army's sailors, and no one could have imagined that the Ming army's sailors would be so kind to them.

Out of the Water City.

When Li Yuntian entered the city surrounded by everyone, the people in the city gathered around the road and watched the excitement with interest, secretly guessing the identities of these people in bright clothes.

Li Yuntian rode a black horse and looked at the low and old buildings on both sides of the road quietly, which made him feel like a shantytown.

Although Izumi City is one of the largest counties in Satsuma, in Li Yuntian's opinion, it is not even as good as an ordinary township in the south of the Ming Dynasty, and the only difference between the two is that there is a wall of more than two meters high around Izumi City.

Due to the lack of resources of the Japanese state, the people's livelihood was difficult, and the ordinary people could only feed their hunger with fish and wild vegetables, which made the Japanese people generally thin and short, and they were more than half a head shorter than those soldiers of the Ming army.

This inherent Ming army sailors and soldiers are carefully selected, in addition to the requirements for physical quality, but also reflects the difficulties of the life of the people of the Japanese country.

Originally, the county guard of Izumi City still wanted to defend the city to the death, in order to wait for reinforcements from Shimazu Naruun, but the Ming army sailor did not give him a chance to defend the city at all, and the gate of Izumi City was blasted open with a cannon from Franco, and Keiko Yamaguchi led his troops to rush in like a whirlwind.

Perhaps it was due to the sudden attack of the Ming army's naval division that the Japanese army in Demizu Castle did not have the slightest psychological preparation, and the county guard of Demizu Castle only resisted slightly, and after finding that Yamaguchi Keiko and others were extremely fierce in combat, they led the Japanese army in the city to flee in a hurry, leaving Demizu Castle to Yamaguchi Keiko.

In Li Yuntian's view, the other party's retreat was undoubtedly a wise move, and the morale of the Japanese army in Izumi City had dropped to the extreme after the city gate was broken, so if he led the army to fight hard with the Ming army, he would definitely be completely annihilated.

The big families in the city all gathered in the courtyard of the county guard mansion at this time, talking in a low voice there, all with panicked expressions, not knowing how the Ming army sailors would treat them.

When Li Yuntian and the others entered the courtyard, the buzzing sounds in the courtyard suddenly stopped, and the big families on the scene looked up at Li Yuntian who was surrounded by people, because Li Yuntian was wearing a military uniform, they didn't know the identity of the young man in front of them, they only knew that it must be a person of noble status.

Li Yuntian sat down on a seat in front of the crowd, and looked at the nervous Japanese people in the field quietly, because the Ming army's sailors advanced too fast, so the Japanese people in the city did not have time to leave to avoid trouble.

"After King Zhongwu of the Ming Dynasty landed at the port, he found that the people were living in hardship along the way, so he was ready to help them." Under the panicked gaze of those large Japanese families, Keiko Yamaguchi stepped forward and said loudly, "My army has come from afar and does not carry limited supplies, so I hope that you can do your best to donate the surplus food at home." ”

Hearing this, the large Japanese families in the field immediately became in a commotion, and whispered to each other about this matter, discussing how much food should be provided by each of them.

To tell the truth, the Ming army's move did not surprise those large Japanese families, and it was a common practice to let the large families in the occupied areas pay their salaries, so they could accept it, but they didn't know how much was appropriate.

Thinking that they were facing the Ming army's sailors, after a brief discussion, those big families decided to take out as much food as possible for the sake of safety, so as not to anger those Ming troops.

Li Yuntian knew the thoughts of those big Japanese people, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but flash a sneer, how could those big Japanese people know that he didn't look down on their grain at all, and the reason why he asked them to donate food was to help the local poor people, so as to win the hearts of the local people.

For Li Yuntian, this attack on the Satsuma Domain was just a test, he wanted to see what the military strength of the Japanese State was, and at the same time, he also wanted to gain the hearts of the Japanese people, so that he would be of great benefit to his future attack on the Japanese Kingdom.

For this reason, Li Yuntian transferred a large amount of materials this time, and planned to use those materials to pave the way for him to attack the Japanese state in the future.

Early the next morning, three three-masted warships and two transports sailed out of the port and headed north along the coastline.

Li Yuntian sat on the chair on the bow deck of the ship, looking out at the low buildings on the coastline, and I am afraid that Shimazu Naruto would never have thought that he would leave Izumi City anyway.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, because he was unprepared for this attack, Shimazu Mingyun needed at least half a month to prepare for the war in a hurry, and this time just gave him a chance, so that he could free up his hands to do other things.

Besides, even if Shimazu Naruto can assemble a team within half a month, he will not act rashly until the reinforcements of other daimyo in Kyushu arrive, especially before the reinforcements from Hyuga and Osumi Kuni come, after all, Shimazu Naruto is also very afraid of the Ming army.

"Xianggong, Shimazu Naruto definitely didn't think you would go to Kyoto." Lei Ting and Keiko Yamaguchi walked over with a smile, and said to Li Yuntian, who was sitting there with his eyes closed, smiling.

Li Yuntian was going to go to no other place this time, but Kyoto, the capital of the Wa Kingdom, and was going to visit the shogun, who was also the king of the Wa Kingdom, Ashikaga Yoshihito.

Although Li Yuntian took a great risk when he went to Kyoto this time, and if someone did not favor him, the consequences would be worrying, but it was precisely because no one would have thought that he would come to Kyoto in person, so that he would go deep into the tiger's den and give a huge shock to those powerful people in the Japanese Kingdom.

"He's busy forming a Kyushu coalition to deal with us right now, so where else can he think about it." Li Yuntian opened his eyes when he heard this, and said to Lei Ting with a smile, "When you get to Honshu Island, Xianggong will take you to the bottom of Mount Fuji to see the cherry blossoms, and you can also take a hot spring by the way." ”

"Lord, how do you know that there is a hot spring at the foot of Mt. Fuji?" Hearing this, Keiko Yamaguchi couldn't help but ask curiously.

Today's Mt. Fuji can be described as desolate, the royal city of the Wa Kingdom is in Kyoto, and it is still hundreds of miles away from the later Tokyo, with the current traffic conditions, even the people of the Wa Kingdom in Honshu do not necessarily know that there are hot springs under Mt. Fuji, but Li Yuntian actually knows.

This was very surprising to Keiko Yamaguchi, because Mt. Fuji did not have a military and political significance, and Li Yuntian only knew that it was the first mountain in the Wa Kingdom and that cherry blossoms grew under the mountain, and as for the hot springs, it should not be clear.

"I heard a merchant from Kyoto mention that you can bathe in the hot springs at the foot of Mt. Fuji even in winter." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and casually made up a reason to prevaricate in the past, he couldn't tell Keiko Yamaguchi that the hot springs under Mount Fuji would attract a large number of foreign tourists after a few hundred years.

Keiko Yamaguchi suddenly realized, and smiled a little embarrassedly, she almost forgot that Li Yuntian was not only a prince but also a business expert, and naturally those merchants who traveled from south to north had dealt with her, so it was not surprising that she heard about Mount Fuji.

"Xianggong, what do you say those people in Kyoto would have done if they knew you were coming?" Lei Ting had already been accustomed to Li Yuntian's "erudition", and asked with a smile.

When Lei Ting first met Li Yuntian ten years ago, Li Yuntian had already presented the map of the world's territory to Emperor Xuande, and Lei Ting didn't feel anything at that time, but when the Nanyang trade was opened, the more overseas affairs she came into contact with, the more she felt that the map of the world's territory was exquisite, and it was hard to imagine how Li Yuntian knew about the existence of those continents and oceans.
