317 Ryukyu Navy
Liu Cheng's side had just laid down his own intelligence network and paid attention to the East China Sea, and the East China Sea immediately gave Liu Cheng a big 'surprise'.
To be honest, Liu Cheng didn't think he could have any problems in unifying the East China Sea from the beginning.
After all, now there is no one who can fight in the entire East China Sea, and even if the two groups of pirates in the West Sea and the South Sea Province resist, they will only have a dead end.
As a result, what Liu Cheng didn't expect was that there was indeed no strength that could resist him in the East China Sea, but there was something outside the East China Sea!
The fleet had just taken the Nankai Road, and as a result, something happened to the Saikaido and the Ryukyu Road over there.
The Saikaido was taken by the overlord of the Western Sea, and the Ryukyu Road was occupied by the pirates of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
This is very annoying, you said that they didn't come early or late, but they appeared when Liu Cheng was beating the East China Sea and preparing to unify the East China Sea, isn't this sincere to block Liu Cheng?
Liu Cheng, who was not in a very good mood at all, didn't have the slightest idea of tolerating this time, and this time his attitude was quite tough.
He issued an ultimatum to the two forces that now occupy the Ryukyu and Saikaido provinces, and ordered them to surrender the Ryukyu and Saikaido within three days.
After Liu Cheng's ultimatum was issued, the two forces occupying Saikaido and the Ryukyu Province reacted completely differently.
On the side of Xikaidao, Liu Cheng's ultimatum was issued, and they directly pretended not to see it.
On the other hand, the forces occupying the Ryukyu Road were even more ferocious, and directly attacked the messenger sent by Liu Cheng to issue an ultimatum in the past, and asked the messenger to bring back the news, telling Liu Cheng that it was impossible to retreat when he retreated, and it was impossible to retreat in this life, and the Ryukyu Road was theirs if they beat it down!
After getting the response from the Ryukyu Province and the Saikaido side, Liu Cheng didn't say a word and prepared for the war directly!
Although Liu Cheng was not very clear about the strength of the two forces that now occupied the Ryukyu Province and the Saikaido Province, he knew very well that he had no room for compromise in this matter.
Now he has overthrown all the family forces and pirate forces in the East China Sea, and now the East China Sea is up to him Liu Cheng alone.
It is naturally good to be an overlord alone, but the corresponding Liu Cheng also has to face risks and enemies by himself.
Previously, because of the intricate relationship between various families and pirates, there was no force to attack the East China Sea, and now Liu Cheng needs to face it alone, in this case, Liu Cheng can only be intimidated.
He needs to let the surrounding forces know that he is a wolf, a wolf they can't easily provoke, not a dog that anyone can bully!
Therefore, Liu Cheng not only has to fight this battle, but also fights very strongly!
…………
While Liu Cheng was preparing for the war, on the Ryukyu Road side, the forces that had just occupied the Ryukyu Road were engaged in a carnival called plunder.
This group of forces is said to be pirates of the Ryukyu Province, but in fact, they are not pirates at all, they are actually a naval army of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
In fact, this naval army has been coveting the wealth of the Ryukyu Province for a long time, but it is suffering from no chance.
The previous Ryukyu Dao had always cooperated with the families of the Great Zhou Empire, and although they were the water army of the Ryukyu Dao, they did not dare to provoke them.
But now the situation is different, at this time, the East China Sea has been taken by Liu Cheng, and now it is a very pure pirate country, in this case, this Ryukyu naval army naturally killed directly to the Ryukyu Road without any scruples.
Due to the fact that the main force of the Ryukyu Road was taken by Liu Cheng at the beginning, it did not take much effort for this group of sailors to take the Ryukyu Road.
And after they took down the navy, this group of hillbilly sailors was immediately stunned by the wealth of the Ryukyu Province.
Like Hokkaido, the Ryukyu Road has an island that acts as a transit point.
The only difference is that the islands of the Ryukyu Province are directly facing the Ryukyu Islands, so the transit importance here is greater than that of Nakatsu Island, which also makes the Ryukyu Province richer than Hokkaido.
After the Ryukyu navy took the Ryukyu Tract, they directly plundered millions of gold in the Ryukyu Tract, which should have belonged to Liu Cheng, and this huge wealth made these sailors ecstatic.
At this time, this water army has completely fallen into the eyes of money, and there is nothing else in their eyes except money.
As for the warning of Liu Cheng, the current overlord of the East China Sea? Hehe, the Ryukyu Navy said, who is Liu Cheng? Is the Ryukyu Way his? Let them hand over the Ryukyu Road? Hand over the money too? Is this possible?
At this time, they didn't care about Liu Cheng's threat at all, and not only that, they even had some other ideas at this time.
They felt that since the Ryukyu Road was so easy to defeat and so rich, should they do something at this time?
For example, if you don't do anything, you can directly take down the entire East China Sea, anyway, this group of Great Zhou people is so unbeaten.
Thinking of the wealth they could get after taking the entire East China Sea, this Ryukyu naval army suddenly boiled.
For a time, from the commander of this naval army to every soldier, he was full of fighting spirit!
Sure enough, compared to something more nihilistic like faith, this kind of tangible benefit can quickly condense the morale of an army.
The morale that is condensed in this way is a double-edged sword, which can greatly increase the strength of an army, and at the same time has the potential to lead an army into the abyss.
Among this Ryukyu naval army, there is a general who is relatively reasonable.
He knew very well that the most rational thing for them to do at this time was to run away as soon as they robbed the money, instead of stupidly preparing to have a wave with Liu Chenggang.
After all, they were facing a pirate force that could defeat the Great Zhou family, and the devil knew how strong their strength was, so he stood up at this time and prepared to persuade this naval army to return to Ryukyu.
He's doing the right thing!
However, what he wants to do is indeed something that is destined to be impossible, when he is alone in the way that everyone around him thinks can make a fortune, his reason at this time is cowardly and cowardly in the eyes of others.
His existence was an obstacle to the good life of others, so soon, this one general died.
The death of that one general made those who were still sane in the Ryukyu Navy immediately discovered.
At present, this 'high-morale' army is no longer under their control, this army already has its own consciousness, if they dare to violate the consciousness of this army, no matter who it is, even the commander of this army will die!
In this case, all sane people become fools, either leaving early, or happily dreaming with those real fools.
