Chapter 947: Five-Star Flag Fluttering (Three Watches!) )

It's really unexpected, I originally thought that this crown prince from the Americas, the things that the prince said to himself were just fools' dreams.

With these of them who have crossed the ocean to come here, they want to wrestle with the Japanese people?

This is obviously very unrealistic.

And they also want to take the land of the Japanese people from the hands of the Japanese people and take it for themselves, which is even more unrealistic.

Although the other party's conditions made him very excited, the current situation also made Li Xiang have to face such a reality. But Li Xiang still decided to wait and see, after all, he was very unoptimistic about Zhao Hongyu's military operations here in the Japanese people.

If you take it easy, you can also try to avoid getting yourself and your brothers involved in a senseless whirlpool.

In Li Xiang's opinion, if this crown prince from the Americas is defeated by the Japanese people. It is very likely that this crown prince will lose his life.

At that time, although he got the benefit of 19 European-style warships, he didn't need to receive this favor, did he?

However, what Li Xiang didn't expect was that the development of the situation here was not at all as he judged, and it was the Japanese who defeated these people from the Americas.

On the contrary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the Americas, with absolute strength and fierce force, forcibly seized Kyushu of the Japanese people, and made a large piece of land from the hands of the Japanese people.

If it is placed on the side of the Ming Dynasty, such martial arts can be regarded as expanding the territory and leaving a name in history.

This was completely beyond Li Xiang's expectations...... No, he didn't even think it would be like this.

A few days ago, after the surrender of Nagasaki here, it was half a day after Li Xiang received the news.

On the Nagasaki side, Li Xiang arranged a lot of spies, and when Nagasaki fell, the spies who belonged to Li Xiang seized a sea ship and rushed out of Nagasaki Port to bring the news back.

Amami Island is not very far from Nagasaki, so Li Xiang didn't wait too long. I got the news about the fall of Nagasaki.

At this point, Li Xiang was stunned to believe all these facts.

In fact, when Zhao Hongyu was fighting in Kyushu, Li Xiang also received a lot of news from the spies.

Especially the information about the original battle of Maitreya, but Li Xiang didn't believe it.

He didn't believe that this crown prince from the Americas could defeat the Kyushu Coalition with 150,000 troops with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

This thing sounds a bit like a story, and it's bragging.

Yes, it's bragging!

However, Li Xiang didn't want to think about it. If it's bragging, there should be some reaction on the Japanese side.

It's just that Li Xiang at that time just stubbornly didn't believe all this.

But at this time, he can't believe it.

Because this highness from the Americas, leading his army, has swept the entire Kyushu and firmly controlled Kyushu in his own hands.

And here, because of the position of the shogun, a melee began.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that today's Japanese minds are not on Kyushu's side at all. Their chaos will last for at least a few years.

Wait until a few years have passed. Kyushu has long been impregnable here.

At that time, if the Japanese were to come to crusade, it would definitely not be so easy to think.

Moreover, this crown prince from the Americas, with a mere force of less than 10,000 people, was able to defeat a coalition army of 150,000 people. With such a strong army.

So if the Japanese think of coming to crusade in the future, how many troops will they need?

But the problem is that after owning Kyushu, God knows that the crown prince from the Americas. Will you bring troops from the other side of the sea?

Not much, but on the Kyushu side, deploy 50,000 or 60,000 troops. Then you don't have to worry about anything.

What's more, in addition to the fierce Song Empire army, they could also form a Kyushu Japanese army of 100,000 people. With such a combination of the two, the Japanese people should also think about it.

Of course, Li Xiang doesn't have to worry about this problem, and if you want to have a headache, it should be a headache for the Japanese people.

And Li Xiang, all he has to do now is to hurry to Nagasaki and meet the crown prince.

Now that they have a foothold in Nagasaki, it can be said that as long as he Li Xiang takes refuge in the past, then Kyushu will be open to him.

At that time, Li Xiang will also be able to have a tough backer, and at the same time, he will no longer have to worry about high-priced materials. At the same time, brothers and families on Amami Island can leave Amami Island and live in Nagasaki, which is a more livable place.

But he was a little worried that he hadn't responded to the crown prince for so long. And will this attitude of his own cause unhappiness to others?

Yes, Li Xiang was worried at this time.

But what's the use of worrying, that's already the case.

Therefore, he immediately gathered his subordinates and told everyone openly and honestly about his decision.

That is, he is ready to take refuge with this crown prince from the Americas.

For Li Xiang's decision, Li Xiang's subordinates are of course very much in favor of it.

In fact, the current situation is already very unfavorable for them.

If they can't think of a way, then what awaits them is to be defeated by Zheng Zhilong, and then taste the bitter fruit of defeat.

People like them, who die and die, have nothing to say.

Since they have embarked on this path, then they all have this kind of awareness.

But the problem is, they have to think about their families.

It's easy for them to die, but what about their families?

Zheng Zhilong, this guy is ruthless, but he is not easy to get along with.

Once they are gone, then their families on Amami Island will not have any good fruit to eat. When Zheng Zhilong captures Amami Island, it is estimated that their family members will definitely be worse than death, and it will be a very luxurious thing to die at that time.

Didn't Naba, who was under Li Xiang's control, encounter such a situation?

At that time, Naha was still the territory controlled by Li Xiang. But with the growth of Zheng Zhilong, Li Xiang slowly fell behind, and Naha inevitably fell into the flames of war.

At that time, Wang Fuzi and the others followed Li Xiang to fight Zheng Zhilong in the sea near Naha, and fell into the hands of the Dutch.

The Battle of Naha. The fight is for control of Naha.

And the loss of Naha can be described as a heavy loss for Li Xiang, because Naha is a sea artery to Southeast Asia. Once Naha is lost, Li Xiang will completely lose Southeast Asia.

Naha Li Xiang has been in business for many years, and there are many of his subordinates and family members on Naha's side.

After that defeat, it didn't take long for Naha to fall under Zheng Zhilong's control.

Li Xiang's subordinates and their families who lived in Naha were all executed by Zheng Zhilong without exception.

It can be seen that when Zheng Zhilong led the men and horses that integrated Haolu to kill and capture Amami Island. So these people on Amami Island. Inevitably, I will end up like those brothers in Naha.

Therefore, some of the old brothers around Li Xiang, such as his sworn brothers, left Li Xiang and went to seek refuge with Zheng Zhilong.

At that time, Zheng Zhilong slaughtered Naha, which could not be said to be the purpose of deterrence and intimidation.

Although everyone understands it in their hearts, there are still many people who would rather betray Li Xiang.

The people who remain now can be said to be Li Xiang's die-hard people.

But even such people, they have to think about their families for the sake of no.

They can die for Li Xiang, but what about their families?

Therefore. Once they have a good choice, then it is impossible for them to say that they are not impressed.

Especially in the days when Master Wang came back, he has made it very clear.

At the same time, after the departure of Master Wang. Those who stayed behind inquired through their contacts, and they also had a clear understanding of some of the policies on the American side.

Therefore, many people feel that they can send their families to the Americas. After dividing up those good fields. You can be a person who does your duty.

As long as there is land, their families will not starve to death.

That way, they are relieved.

But. Li Xiang has never spit out anything here, so it is difficult for these diehard brothers under his command to say anything.

Now that Li Xiang has finally made this decision, they are the happiest.

Because once they took refuge in the Song Empire, they became members of the Song Empire.

Their families can also be sent to the Americas, and they will be able to share the best fertile land.

At the same time, with the support of the Song Empire, is there anything else Zheng Zhilong is afraid of.

Even if the strength of the Song Empire is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty, it is a big deal that they will follow the crown prince and go to the Song Empire together.

After all, if you become his subordinates and follow them to the Song Empire, you can't let them starve to death.

These people under Li Xiang think very clearly.

After discussing and reporting with these people, Li Xiang organized his men to set off for Nagasaki with three Ming-style warships.

Zhao Hongyu gave him 19 European-style warships, but he didn't bring them. After all, if he leaves Amami Island, he must leave the strength to defend Amami Island.

God knows if this guy Zheng Zhilong will choose this time to attack him.

He couldn't have predicted this.

Therefore, the sophisticated European warships were all left behind.

He himself, with more than 500 men, left Amami Island on three Ming-style battleships.

No, they're already in the vicinity of Goto now.

At this time, Li Xiang was standing at the bow of the boat, facing the cold sea breeze, and his thoughts fluctuated in his heart.

He felt that all this was really too illusory, some time ago this place still belonged to the Japanese people, but now the city has changed the king's banner and changed to a master.

This made Li Xiang suddenly feel a trace of unreality in her heart.

However, he really knew that all this was true. He wasn't dreaming, after all, on the lookout on the five coastlines in the distance, the five-star red flag waving in the wind was proving everything.

The Japanese people did not have such a flag, and Wang Fuzi also said at the beginning, what the flag of the Song Empire looked like, but he remembered it clearly.

Unlike this era, the banners of the Ming Dynasty and the countries around Southeast Asia are basically not dragons, tigers, leopards, or some beasts.

But the Song Empire was a banner with five stars on a red background.

Li Xiang didn't understand what this meant.

I don't know if Lu Dao was out of Zhao Hongyu's interest, anyway, he set the five-star red flag as the national flag of the country he created.

Although there is another flag in the Song Empire, which is the red and white hexagon of the Umbrella Company, and the three crescent moon symbols. But it is the mark of a commercial company, and it is not a representative of the state.

Therefore, no matter where Zhao Hongyu goes, he will play the five-star red flag.

Speaking of which, the five-star red flag has been planted in many places now.

Lisbon in Europe, Marseille in France, and Egypt near Arabia are all flying the five-star red flag.

As for the American continent, not to mention, all the cities and villages that belonged to the Song Empire would have a five-star red flag in the central area.

Farther afield, even Australia's eight coastal forts have five-star red flags fluttering.

Today, even Kyushu has erected a five-star red flag.

I don't know if Lu Dao is in disguise, satisfying Zhao Hongyu's dream of Dayan and Huang Huaxia.

Anyway, in another time and space, the dream that the people of the Celestial Empire did not complete, and the thing that the Celestial Empire did not do in the virtual world, Zhao Hongyu did it in this time and space and this era.

It can be said that if you rely on the occupied land now, the territory of the Song Empire can be said to be the broadest.

In this time and space, there is no country that can compare with it.

The American continent alone is enough to stun people.

You must know that in this era of time and space, there are no South American countries, and there is no so-called Canada, let alone the United States.

Anyway, in the entire North and South America, there is only one master now, and that is Zhao Hongyu.

The European concessions don't need to be counted, they are just a springboard.

In addition to an Australian ...... Hehe, the territory of the Song Empire is really big.

Of course, although Zhao Hongyu owns so much land, his control is still weaker.

After all, he didn't have that much population to fill and actually occupy those lands.

Even in the Americas, he didn't have a full base of cities and towns in the countryside to control it.

From this point of view, although the speed of development of the Song Empire was fast, it was not without weaknesses.

And population is Zhao Hongyu's biggest weakness.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu has a cheating device that can help, so the population problem can be solved over time.

At the same time, in order to alleviate and solve this problem earlier, Zhao Hongyu also set his sights on the eastern side. He planned to immigrate from the Ming Dynasty to the Americas to fill the problem of too few Chinese descendants.

After all, the people here in the Ming Dynasty are also of Chinese descent.

Although the time and space are different, the bloodline is the same.

So, there's nothing wrong with that.

And Li Xiang, this is part of his immigration plan.

When Li Xiang entered the waters of the five islands, their sea ship was immediately discovered.

Then, about half an hour later, a Japanese-style clipper sailed towards Li Xiang's three warships.

On that Japanese-style clipper, the five-star red flag also fluttered...... (To be continued......)
