When Li Yuntian woke up, it was already afternoon, and the Vaulting Horse Harbor had already recovered its silence at this time, but it was unrecognizable and in a mess.

Under the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army's naval divisions, almost all the buildings on the wharf became ruins, and the air was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.

The soldiers of the Ming Army's naval division were cleaning the battlefield, removing the dead and wounded, washing the blood stains on the ground with water, a busy scene.

As with the layout of the Chicken Coop Harbor, there is also a residential area behind the Vaulting Horse Harbor - Vaulting Horse Town, where the Ming army sailors launched an attack on the Vaulting Horse Harbor at sea, and Keiko Yamaguchi was tasked with blocking the fleeing Japanese Invaders and recovering Vaulting Horse Town.

Li Yuntian believed that as soon as the cannons of those three-masted warships on the sea sounded, the Japanese invaders in both Jumping Horse Harbor and Jumping Horse Town would definitely flee by land, and Keiko Yamaguchi would be under a lot of pressure at that time.

"Xianggong, Keiko and they have successfully recovered Vaulting Horse Town and captured more than 10,000 people of the Japanese Kingdom." Lei Ting reported to him with a smile while she was waiting for Li Yuntian to get dressed.

Keiko Yamaguchi won a great victory, and those who were frightened by the shelling of the Ming army's naval division three-masted warships fled from Vaulting Horse Town in a hurry, and then encountered an artillery attack under the command of Li Zixi.

It is worth mentioning that the Ming Army's naval division is equipped with a smaller Franc cannon than the Xiaowu Army's Franc cannon, the reason for this is to facilitate transportation, after all, there are very few countries that can fight naval battles with the Ming army, and the more important responsibility of the Ming Army's naval division is overseas landing operations, so the artillery on the three-masted warship must be transported to the land to participate in the war, and it is necessary to reduce the weight and maintain mobility.

Although the Ming Army's Franc cannon was not as good as that of the Xiaowu Army, and there were only twenty of them, this kind of weapon had never been seen before by the Japanese people, so after Li Zixi ordered two rounds of artillery bombardment, the fleeing Japanese people were immediately stunned and chose to surrender, after all, how can human flesh and blood compete with steel.

"Can't those Satsuma samurai be very good at fighting?" Li Yuntian felt that Keiko Yamaguchi's actions seemed to be very smooth, and he couldn't help but ask with some surprise.

"It's very capable of fighting, and Domoto Saburo was injured for this, but the number of people in the Satsuma clan is not large, and Domoto Saburo didn't spend much effort to destroy them." Lei Ting said after smiling when she heard this.

I have to say that Keiko Yamaguchi's luck this time is really good, just a few days ago, most of the people of the Satsuma Domain in Vaulting Port returned to Kyushu Island to participate in the annual spring festival of the Satsuma Domain, praying for a good harvest in the coming year.

But even so, Saburo Domoto was also injured in the battle with the other party, and dozens of people were also killed in the battle, which shows the fierceness of those Satsuma samurai.

"It's a pity!" Li Yuntian couldn't help but shake his head, although this result was very good, but it was a little disappointing to him, and he did not test the true strength of the Satsuma samurai, and at the same time, Domoto Saburo and the others would not show their true combat effectiveness because of the light enemy, so they did not achieve what he had planned in advance.

"I think it's worth it, those under Saburo Domoto and Keiko are very heroic in battle, and the military discipline is strict, and they are no longer the rabble of the day."

Lei Ting knew what Li Yuntian meant, and said with a smile while arranging the clothes on his body, "In my opinion, their current strength is on par with the samurai of Satsuma. ”

Compared with the Ming army, one of the biggest advantages of the people who used to be the Japanese is probably that they are not afraid of death, and when they are the Japanese invaders, they can be said to have their heads pinned to the belt of their trousers, not only to fight with the Ming army but also to prevent being eaten by other Japanese invaders, although they do not have as much experience in the war as the Satsuma samurai, but they are not inferior to the other party compared to not dying.

In other words, Domoto Saburo and these people are all outlaws who have long put life and death out of the way, which is why Li Yuntian wants to reorganize them, as long as they are properly trained, they will be a tiger and wolf army.

"Let's go into town." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, pulled down the military uniform on his body, and led Lei Ting out of the cabin.

Unlike the Damei-style buildings of Shuriport and Shurijo Castle, the houses in Vaulting Town have a strong Wakoku atmosphere, and it is clear that they were built after the arrival of the Wakoku people.

When Li Yuntian entered the town surrounded by everyone, the soldiers of the Ming army and Keiko Yamaguchi were searching the town from house to house, and the streets were full of residents who were being guarded with their heads bowed, and all those who spoke Japanese were taken to the prisoner of war camp for care, and the rest were taken to another place.

Knowing that Li Yuntian had entered the town, Keiko Yamaguchi, Li Zixi, Domoto Saburo and others hurriedly came to greet him, among whom Domoto Saburo's left arm was hanging on his chest, and it seemed that he was injured.

"Don't say it, these would-be robbers really choose the place, this town is really a good place." Walking on the streets of Vaulting Horse Town, Li Yuntian smiled while looking at the wooden buildings on the side of the street and said to Keiko Yamaguchi and others who followed behind him, if it is carefully managed, Vaulting Horse Town will be a good seaside city.

Most importantly, Vaulting Horse Harbor is a natural port, and although it is not suitable for the ships of the Ming army to moor, it is a good military port as long as it is renovated.

Li Yuntian calculated in his heart, if he wanted to build this military port, one million taels of silver would be enough, although the cost was a bit large, but in the long run, it would be worth it, and it would become an important military base to protect the waters east of the Ming Dynasty to deal with the threat from the Atlantic.

"Lord Wang, how are those captives settled?" At this time, Keiko Yamaguchi groaned for a moment and asked.

According to Yamaguchi Keiko's preliminary statistics, there are more than 12,000 Japanese people in Vaulting Horse Town and surrounding villages, of which 3,000 are Japanese people, and the rest are ordinary people who have migrated from the Japanese country.

To be honest, Keiko Yamaguchi didn't expect that there would be so many Japanese people in the area of Vaulting Horse Town, so how to deal with those captives became a top priority.

"Those people have two choices, one is to submit to you, and the king will let them continue to live in the Ryukyus, and the other is to send them back to their homeland, and it is up to them to decide how to choose."

Li Yuntian had already prepared, and said as he walked, "As for those widows, they will be absorbed by you and Tangben, and those who are stubborn can be disposed of at will." ”

"Humble duty understands!" Keiko Yamaguchi knew what "dispose of at will" meant, so she bowed down and replied in a coquettish voice. Obviously, it is to make those people disappear from the world.

At the same time, Keiko Yamaguchi also felt a little disappointed in her heart, because Li Yuntian did not let her take in those widows alone, but brought Domoto Saburo, which was clearly a check and balance on her, which made her state of mind a little complicated.

However, with the ingenuity of Keiko Yamaguchi, Li Yuntian's approach is intelligent, and the reason why Li Yuntian supports her for revenge is conditional, that is, he hopes to control the four islands of the Japanese kingdom through guò.

Although there was no written agreement signed between Li Yuntian and Keiko Yamaguchi, Keiko Yamaguchi knew very well that this was a "gentleman's agreement" between her and Li Yuntian, and since she accepted Li Yuntian's help, it was equivalent to agreeing to this agreement.

Therefore, Yamaguchi Keiko did not have much resistance to Li Yuntian's move to let Domoto Saburo balance her, because Domoto Saburo would definitely help her complete the great cause of revenge, which was what Li Yuntian promised her, and as for the future, she would fulfill her to assist Li Yuntian in controlling the four islands of the Japanese Kingdom.

"Please, don't kill us, we're just poor people." At this time, a group of Japanese people was escorted over and walked past Li Yuntian, and a thin woman in a shabby Japanese uniform suddenly rushed out of the queue, kneeling in front of Li Yuntian's guards and saying to him with a frightened expression.

The one in charge of escorting was Saburo Domoto's subordinates, and he hurriedly rushed up and a few people grabbed the emaciated woman and dragged her out, Li Yuntian raised his hand when he saw this, and those people let go of the emaciated woman.

The three tattered children immediately ran out of their captives crying, and were held tightly in the arms of the emaciated woman, who seemed to be the children of the emaciated woman.

"Don't be afraid, we won't kill you, and we'll let you go home after we register your information." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, walked up to the emaciated woman, leaned over and smiled at her, and said, "You can choose to stay here at that time, or you can choose to return to China." ”

"Really...... Are you sure? The emaciated woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and looked at Li Yuntian in disbelief.

"Are you hungry?" Li Yuntian smiled and nodded, then his eyes fell on the three frightened children in the arms of the emaciated woman, and asked kindly.

The three children nodded subconsciously, their eyes full of fear when they looked at Li Yuntian, they had not eaten for a day since the Ming army's sailors attacked early in the morning, and they were already hungry.

"Bring some refreshments." Seeing this, Li Yuntian turned around and waved to Lei Ting, and Lei Ting walked over with two packets of good pastries and handed them to Li Yuntian.

"Satisfy your hunger with these, and then you will have something to eat when you reach the place of the enthronement list." Li Yuntian handed the two packets of dim sum to the eldest of the three children, and then got up and led everyone away.

Lin Xin, who was following behind Lei Ting, glanced at the emaciated woman sitting on the ground with a stunned expression, and then hurriedly chased after Li Yuntian and the others' team.

He ...... Who is he? The emaciated woman felt that Li Yuntian was a very kind person, not as fierce as others, and when Li Yuntian walked away, she couldn't help but ask the person in charge of escorting beside her.

"The loyal king of the Ming Dynasty, the cavalry of the Yuan army is not powerful, and he was still wiped out by one finger!"

A stout man suddenly showed a look of pride on his face when he heard this, and then glanced at the emaciated woman and said, "It is a blessing that you have met King Zhongwu for eight lifetimes, and the place where the register is registered has prepared white rice for you, and it is simply a waste of food for you to eat." “

"White ...... Rice! The emaciated woman was stunned when she heard this, in front of the Ming prince and white rice, it was obvious that the temptation of white rice was greater, for her as a woman, firewood, rice, oil and salt were more important than military affairs, and she had not eaten white rice for many years.

"The best rice produced in the Daming Lake area, this is the military supplies of the water division, the prince knows that you are hungry this day, so he asked the room to prepare a meal for you." Hearing this, the stout man stretched out his thumb and pointed to the sky, and explained proudly.

Since the sailors had to go to sea for a long voyage, the food standards were one level higher than those of the Xiaowu army, and Li Yuntian hoped that the officers and men of the sailors would receive the best logistical support to maintain their vigorous fighting energy and high morale.

Keiko Yamaguchi and Saburo Domoto's subordinates also enjoy the same treatment as the sailor, and this alone makes those reorganized Japanese robbers reluctant to leave, after all, they are not just trying to eat enough when they are widows, and now Li Yuntian has provided them with such superior food and lodging, who wants to leave when they are full.

The emaciated woman was stunned when she heard this, and then she remembered something, got up and pulled the three children and hurried to the captive camp, for fear that someone else would finish the food prepared in the camp if she was too late, and she could already imagine the residents of Vaulting Town who had arrived at the camp gobbling up their food.
