"Japanese pirates?"

Li Luwu didn't pick it, and his tone was a little strange. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This does not allow Li to worry about it without questioning it. Japan is now in a period of seclusion.

In Japan at this time, after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu won the Battle of Sekigahara and became the overlord of the whole of Japan, and later formed the Tokugawa shogunate and became the de facto ruler of Japan. A few years ago, the Shimabara Rebellion completely closed the Tokugawa shogunate to the outside world, and except for Nagasaki Dejima, the only foreign treaty port, all the rest of the country was closed to foreigners, and at the same time, this policy also strengthened the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and completely overturned it.

Since Japan implemented the policy of closing the country, the Japanese pirates (Japanese pirates) who had cholera for a long time in the Ming generation have also disappeared, which is why the Chinese pirate alliance led by Mrs. Qing completely ruled the Pacific Ocean.

But the Japanese pirates, who had disappeared for a long time, actually resurfaced and robbed their own fleet? How could this convince Li Luwei so simply.

As Li Luan's confidant, especially in charge of intelligence, Aldington certainly understood what Li Luwu was thinking, so he immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"It was our fleet to the Ryukyus that was attacked."

At this time, Ryukyu was still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Since the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, Ryukyu has always used the Chinese era name, pursuing the Chinese Zhengshuo, and the successive Ryukyu kings have asked the Chinese emperor for canonization and formally determined the relationship between the monarch and the minister. It was also from that period that the Central Plains began an immigration policy towards the Ryukyus. There are emperors, such as the 25th year of Hongwu (1392), Zhu Yuanzhang "gave 36 surnames of Fujian people" to Liuyu, this group of Chinese immigrants mainly to teach Ryukyu China's advanced production technology and culture. There were also people who took the initiative to ask for a gift from the Ryukyu Kingdom, such as in 1606, when the then king of the Ryukyus, King Shonyin, was canonized, he asked for naturalization. For example, the Cai family who went from China is the descendant of Cai Xiang, and the Lin family is the descendant of the Lin Hejing family. At the same time, the King of the Ryukyus often sent his children to study in China. There is also the spontaneous immigration of the people. Because of the special geographical location of the Ryukyu Islands and the relationship between the archipelagos, special attention was paid to the development of the maritime industry, and commerce was highly developed, and at its peak it traded with the Central Plains mainland, Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries at the same time. Therefore, during that period, there were many people who took the initiative to emigrate to the Ryukyus, and of course, it was not called immigration at that time.

Later, the Ryukyu Kingdom has completely assimilated the ****, saying that it is sinicized, wearing Hanfu, and even the blood left on the body is also passed on from the **** bloodline.

Therefore, while immigrating from the Ming Dynasty, Li Luwei also had trade contacts with Ryukyu at the same time, especially in the north where the Qing army was raging, and under the war, many people were willing to go south with Li Luan's fleet, and Ryukyu became the best supply station for the fleet.

"It's the hand of the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain."

Aldington's words made Li Lu worry about his name.

Satsuma Domain, also known as Kagoshima Domain, is located in the southwest of Kyushu, because of the geographical location, Satsuma Domain has always attached great importance to the development of the navy, during the Warring States period of Japan, the Satsuma Domain in the name of the Satsuma Navy, even in modern times, the Satsuma Domain has been firmly in the hands of the Japanese Navy, several generations of naval ministers are from the Satsuma Domain, or the Satsuma family.

The lord of the Satsuma Domain was the Shimazu clan.

The Shimazu clan has always been ambitious, and during the Muromachi shogunate in Japan, it was ambitious to dominate most of Kyushu, but then it was suppressed by Toyosei Hideyoshi, who completed the unification, and after the death of Toyosei Hideyoshi, he once again exposed his ambitions and participated in the Battle of Sekigahara, but unfortunately the western army where he was located was defeated, and the Tokugawa shogunate took the throne, and the Shimazu clan suffered heavy losses again, coupled with the Tokugawa shogunate's policy of closing the country, so that the Shimazu clan, which has been committed to overseas trade, is even more vigorous, so, in order to restore his vitality and satisfy his ambitions, Once again, the Shimazu clan bared its fangs against the Ryukyu Kingdom, a commercial kingdom.

A few decades before this period, in 1609, the Satsuma clan sent its general Kayama Hisadaka to invade the Ryukyu Kingdom and begin the Japanese conquest of the Ryukyus. If you follow the normal historical trend and calculate the time, the current Ryukyu Kingdom has been actually colonized by the Satsuma Domain, although it is still a **** subject country, but in fact, its royal family has been controlled by Japan. However, the current Japan does not dare to barn its teeth against the ****, even if the Central Plains is now in turmoil, and there is no time to take care of it, so Japan does not dare to slaughter the Ryukyu royal family casually, and can only be placed under house arrest, especially in the face of the **** envoy, and constantly conceal its ambition to annex the Ryukyus.

This also made Li Luxian think that more than two hundred years later, the dignified **** was actually bullied to that point by a group of barbarians, which made Li Luan's dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty even more abundant.

Li Luwei and the Ryukyu Kingdom started trade, Ryukyu is an important supply station for Li Luan's fleet, in addition to transporting population, Li Luan's fleet also carried a large number of trade goods, especially Li Luan's power Although it dominated Southeast Asia, after all, it was far away from Japan, coupled with the inconvenience of information exchange in ancient times, and felt that Japan was closed to the country, so, in the eyes of the Shimazu clan, Li Luwu is just a maritime merchant similar to ****, although there is some strength, but it is definitely not strong, so, Faced with such a fat sheep that can take a bite at any time, it is impossible for the Shimazu clan to endure it.

"Now that the news has been confirmed." Li Yu's worried eyes swept over the crowd around him, "Tell me what you think." ”

"Hit! Gotta fight back! Let me teach those grandsons a lesson. Arnold was the first to jump out, and when it came to fighting, he was the most energetic.

"I'm willing to be a pioneer for adults." Mu Sang had already knelt directly on one knee on the ground.

"My lord, just let me go, I will definitely bring back the head of the Shimazu clan to my lord." Mu Ji also jumped out, following Mu Sang's appearance, and knelt on one knee, but what he said was full of ruffianism.

Now Mu Sang and Mu Ji, after several years of training, are completely able to take charge on their own, one is calm and atmospheric, the other dares to think and dare to do, Li Luwei has already considered whether to find a time to teach the two of them meditation methods, so that the two of them can truly become wizards.

"Fight, definitely have to fight. Our majesty brooks no desecration. Li Luwei waved his hand, signaling Arnold and the others to be calm, and then looked at Glass and the others, "However, how to fight, but you need to plan it." ”

"What how? Of course, the fleet was dispatched. Arnold looked like a reckless man, "I'll lead and beat him." ”

"Alright, Arnold, shut up and hear what Glass has to say." Li Lunan looked at Arnold with amusement and motioned for Arnold to step back quickly.

"What, how else can you fight except to send out a fleet? Do you want us to do it ourselves, don't you let the adults let us? Muttering this quietly, Arnold retreated, but Arnold's loud voice, even if it was a small voice, was enough for everyone to hear.

"Arnold, copy me the general history of wizards when you get back." Li Luan's eyes widened.

"Yes!" Arnold suddenly sat down, closed his mouth tightly, and said nothing, with a loveless expression on his face.

Arnold's interest is to fight, fight, let him copy the general history of wizards with his brain full of muscles, it is better to kill him, but he didn't dare not listen to Li Luan's words, thinking of the one-foot-thick general history of wizards, Arnold instantly felt that his life was black and white.

However, in the blink of an eye, Arnold smiled again, and his full beard was squeezed together.

"Don't use an automatic stylus, I'll send you a quill myself." Li Luwei instantly understood Arnold's careful thoughts, and immediately issued a warning.

“oh！ no！ Arnold suddenly wailed and completely collapsed in his chair, and his pitiful appearance made Glass and the others laugh for a while.

"Alright, let's get down to business, Glass."

"My lord, we can use the name 'Rescue the Ryukyus.'"

After a few years of training, Glass is no longer the wizard who didn't know Muggle things before, and many years of experience as a governor have made Glass grow a lot, even if he is put into modern times, he is also a qualified politician, "Ryukyu has been a subject country of China since ancient times, and we, as its compatriots, naturally can't bear the persecution of the Ryukyu people by barbarians. Glass said with a look of disdain on his face, but the word "barbarian" was still a little strange when it came out of the mouth of this authentic brown-haired foreigner.

Immediately afterwards, Glass's tone changed, "Especially the geographical location of the Ryukyu Islands, as long as we get it, we can go directly to Japan, we can connect to the Philippine Islands, and we can use this as a springboard to go directly to Vietnam. ”

"What's more, the Ryukyu Islands are close to the Central Plains mainland, and getting the Ryukyu Islands is more conducive to our immigration plan."

The territory Li Luwei now occupies is already very large, and what he lacks now is the population, and the population has become the biggest obstacle to the development of Li Luan's forces.

Now Li Luan, if he wants a gun or a gun, he wants a ship and a ship, and his strength is strong, not to mention that in Southeast Asia, it is the whole of Asia, and even the whole world, Li Luan's armament is the strongest, and the convenience of alchemy is not wanted, what is lacking is the population, not that Li Luwei has no strength to occupy other places, but even if he occupies such a large territory, he does not have enough manpower to rule, this is the current situation that Li Luwei is facing.

That's why we have the current immigration policy.

After Glass finished speaking, Li Luwei looked at Aldington again.

"There are now more than 3,000 soldiers of the Satsuma clan on the Ryukyu Islands, 20 ships of Tataku and 80 ships of Seki, who are usually stationed on the five small islands in the north of the Ryukyus, and occasionally turn into pirates and rob ships that come and go."

"There are 25,000 sailors and more than 400 warships of various types in the entire Satsuma Domain, but none of them can meet the standard of battleships."

"How many troops can we use other than the necessary stays." Satisfied with Aldington's intelligence work, Li turned his head and looked at Glass and Arnold again.

"Now that our rule has just been established, in addition to Singapore and Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines have just been occupied, and the hearts and minds have not yet settled, so we need to leave enough troops to deter."

Glass and Arnold whispered to each other, and eventually, a reunification was reached.

"We can mobilize a maximum of 50,000 people, 10,000 regular troops, 40,000 auxiliary troops, and any more, it will affect our rule."

"Really?" Li Luan's face was expressionless, he didn't say a word, lowered his head and muttered silently.

Everyone stopped talking, and all looked at Li Luan, waiting for Li Luan's decision.

"Sure enough, there are still too few people." Li Lunan raised his head, with a look of regret on his face, "This time, let's go around Japan first." ”

"But..."

Li Luan's expression was worried, with a murderous expression on his face.

"Destroy the Satsuma Domain for me!" (To be continued.) )
