It's time to go, and only Ye Tan and him are left in Zhang Long's cabin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The chief is very polite to the spy and Cai Yuanji"!

Ye Tan couldn't help but smile.

"They are all unsung heroes, and they are far away from overseas to carry out missions, worthy of our respect, the prince told me before that Renchen had said to me during the Korean War: in addition to Li Rusong, Deng Zilong and other famous generals, we must also remember the names of Xu Yihou, Guo Guoan, Zhu Junwang, Chen Shen, Su Ba, and pay tribute to these ordinary Chinese Han people who have almost been buried and forgotten by history" Zhang Long said with a very serious expression.

Ye Tan's expression also became solemn, and he hugged his fist at Zhang Long: "With the words of the prince, I have no regrets about waiting for death!" ”

"Don't say such unlucky words, this is just the ground, how can you die before the matter is finished"

Zhang Long laughed.

"Sir, are you sure you want to fight, you must know that you have not been authorized by the prince, and only carry out the task of escorting and collecting intelligence" Ye Tan began to get down to business.

"I want to try it, along the way I want to meet a large number of pirates to try my skills, but the sky does not obey people's wishes, I hold back the fire in my heart, and now I see the appearance of Ryukyu, I want to do a vote, the so-called hundred practice is not as good as a real battle, of course, this matter has to be approved by the prince, I have asked my subordinates to send electricity to the prince, but the prince's whereabouts are uncertain, and he can't be contacted for the time being" Zhang Long said and took a few sips, and it could be seen that he was very eager to fight in his heart.

"To tell the truth, there are 3,000 Japanese troops, and the combat power is even more fierce and vicious, and the victory rate of the commander against it with 1,000 men and horses is really not big! Even if the adults are well-equipped, they have no actual combat experience, and secondly, they have actual combat but the disparity in combat power is there."

Ye Tan was very worried.

"I understand what you say, I have already said before, I will not land and fight with them, and besides, even if I land, I am not afraid, I have three hundred guns equipped by the prince in my hand, three hundred, and even the pro-guard army is not so much!" Zhang Long couldn't help but smile as he spoke, it was a kind of deafness.

"I admit that you say that there are many guns, but the equipment is still not comparable to the guards, we are armed to the teeth one by one, the most important thing is that each person is equipped with four magazines, dare to ask the commander, how many bullets are equipped with each of the three thousand gunners under your command."

Hehe, Zhang Long smiled: "It's not as much as the pro-guard army, but it's more than enough to kill the Japanese people on Ryukyu Island, I'm 100% sure of this!" ”

"There are three wars, the time and place are favorable, not to mention the time, people and we have it, but the location is favorable, the Japanese have been entrenched here for more than 30 years, and the location is not difficult for me and other people who have not yet come ashore to shoot horses, the chief is still careful, after all, these fierce Japanese people are still three times our strength!"

Ye Tan poured some cold water at the right time!

Zhang Long nodded: "I have taken into account what you said, or that sentence, I am 100% sure of defeating that what Huashan Jiushou, and I also have a plan in my heart, I really won't fight with him, but now that the prince's military order has not been issued, it is useless to say more."

"In that case, the chief should rest early, it's not early, let's go to Kume Village tomorrow" Ye Tan got up and said goodbye.

Before dawn, the sea surface of Shenshan Island is calm and windy, dozens of big ships are connected together in the sheltered bay with the waves, whether it is a merchant ship or a military ship, there are soldiers on duty 24 hours a day, and more than a dozen warships next to the big ship are surrounded by far guard.

Even the people of King Toku, who camped in the sand of Shenshan Island, did not dare to relax their vigilance, although it was cold and windy in the early morning, but the families of each family were fully armed and vigilantly patrolled around the camp, and they did not dare to be careless in the slightest, after all, this place is only more than 80 miles away from the main island of Ryukyu.

At four o'clock in the morning, a battleship picked up a few people from the large ship and quickly left Kinabashi Island and went straight to Naha.

At half past five, when the sky was slightly bright, the battleship slowly landed on a rocky beach, Zhang Long, Ye Tan, and three other entourages walked out of the cabin, jumped on the rocks on the shore and turned around and waved their hands, and the battleship left!

"Inspect the weapon"

Behind the rock, Zhang Long and a few people squatted on the ground, sorting out their weapons, each of the five people had an AK, plus a pistol, and a short knife, he was going to the island to step on the point today, just in case the fire support must be in place, and the battleship that sent them would not return to the city immediately, but would be on call in the nearby sea area at any time.

"Hey, hey, have you got it?" After checking the guns, Zhang Long took out the walkie-talkie and tried to contact the warship that had just left.

"Received sir!" The voice of his subordinates came from the walkie-talkie, Zhang Long smiled with satisfaction and patted the walkie-talkie: "This is a good baby."

Zhang Long and his party were not overly careful, and walked along the chaotic beach towards the island, which was originally a chaotic beach, and the hour was still early, and there was no one everywhere, and what they were afraid of was only those Japanese soldiers, and the chances of encountering Japanese soldiers far from the port of Naha were really insignificant.

After walking for half an hour, I didn't go far, and the island was desolate, full of rocky ravines, bumpy and uneven, or overgrown with bushes, which was really difficult to walk.

The sky was already bright, and just as a few people were panting and walking quickly, two people flashed out at the foot of the mountain in front of them, one of them was Ye Tan's person, and the other was a swarthy middle-aged man.

"I've seen two adults! Under the Jinyi Guard, the secret agent Xiang Yang "The swarthy man clasped his fists at Zhang Long and Ye Tan and saluted.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's get down to business" Ye Tan took the cloth bag in the hands of his subordinates and opened it, there were several sets of old clothes inside, this is to cross-dress, after all, the camouflage uniforms of several of them are too eye-catching.

"How far is it from Miku Village?" Zhang Long asked while changing clothes.

"Five or six miles of land, but the road is more difficult!" Xiang Yang said.

Soon the group changed their clothes and walked quickly towards Mijiu Village under the leadership of Xiang Yang.

Along the way, Zhang Long kept asking this and that, and Xiang Yang explained unhurriedly that five years ago, he and Zhang Chaoming and other seven people entered Ryukyu, and then lived in Mijiu Village and were very familiar with this place.

It was also because of his explanation that Zhang Long knew that the map that Lu Wang gave him in later generations was very different from the present, not to mention that many buildings were burned down after the war, and the mountains and rivers were also very different.

Kume Island, where the current village of Yoneku is located, was originally called Ukishima, but it is just a floating island in the sea to the west of Shuri Castle, and it is separated from Shuri Castle by the sea a few miles wide. Later, the northern part of the floating island was connected to the main island of the Ryukyus, and Shurijo Castle was separated from it by a large river.

Five or six miles, the group has been walking for more than half an hour, tired out of breath, at this time the long-known Mijiu Village only revealed the outline, and Zhang Long, who looked directly, was dumbfounded.

Miku Village is not just a village, but it is more than two castles, this castle is located at the mouth of Shuriport Port, and the locals call Mie Castle and Yara Sakumori Castle, and the 36 Han people call it the North and South Fort.

Of course, as the wealthy area of the king of the Ryukyus, and Shuri's choke point to the sea, it was necessary to build a military fortress on Kume Island to resist foreign humiliation, and in fact, with this fortification, Ryukyu had repelled the Japanese attack three times more than 100 years ago, and even returned a number of Ming Dynasty civilians from the Japanese army for the last time.

Even more than 30 years ago, Hisakayama led 3,000 Japanese troops who did not dare to land on Kume Island, but landed at Yuntengang Port in the northernmost Okinawa and took Shuri Castle in a roundabout way.

However, now all this is a cloud, and the self-satisfaction of the Ryukyuan people, combined with the heavy emphasis on literature and light military force, has led to the helplessness of being brutalized by the Satsuma clan, and the current fortress is in ruins, and the two forts are in ruins.

Xiang Yang, who is familiar with Kume Village, has been talking about its glory in the past and its current downfall all the way, and it can be seen that he has developed feelings for this place.

The glory can be seen from those ruins, from the tall Tang style archway at the entrance of the village, you can see the beginning, and the downfall can now be seen with your own eyes.

It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and the people in Kume Village had already begun to work and rest, and Zhang Long and his party walked into the village with Xiangyang.

As I said earlier, it is said that it is a village, but it is actually a castle, and as a wealthy area of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the courtyards and streets here are all elegant, and the Tang style is obvious, but perhaps because of the island, the houses are relatively short.

Zhang Long is very elegant, walking around the village, he looks no different from the locals, if there must be a difference, it is the expression, always with a hint of a smile.

Ninety-nine percent of Jiumi Village are descendants of Fujianese, and their clothing and living habits are actually not much different from the people of the Ming Dynasty, and there are even two temples in the village, Confucius Temple and Tianhou Temple, Guandi Temple.

In front of the Guandi Temple, Zhang Long had a hay plant in his mouth, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "The prince will definitely be demolished when he turns around."

Ye Tan smiled, but Xiang Yang looked confused.

"Where is Zheng Zhen's house?" Zhang Long asked with a light cough.

"Your Excellency is asking about Lord Zheng, the third official of the former dynasty," Xiang Yang asked in a low voice.

Zhang Long nodded! This Zheng Zhen is also a descendant of the thirty-six surnames, and it is not easy to be a three-official official, after all, this official position was previously only done by the people of the Shang dynasty or close clans! Of course, this shows the influence of the Kumishi tribe at that time, and a few years later, there was Cai Wen, Cheng Shun and the two, and Zheng was called a national hero, and the two were one of the five great men of the Ryukyus.

"His house is in the east, but it has long been dilapidated, after Zheng Zhen was killed, the Japanese people of the Satsuma clan ransacked the Zheng Mansion and burned it, and the rest of the Zheng family were wanted and fled to other places for refuge" Xiang Yang stood at the door of the temple and pointed to the east: "Do you want to go and see?" ”

Zhang Long nodded: "National heroes are worthy of the admiration of the world!" He walked as he spoke.

Sure enough, it was dilapidated, ruined, and overgrown with weeds, but it could also be seen that the scale of the year was not an ordinary portal, Zhang Long stood silently in front of Zheng Zhen's mansion.

"This is the old mansion of the Zheng family, Zheng Zhen lived in Shuri Castle when he was an official, since the old mansion was copied by those Japanese soldiers, no one has taken care of it for so many years, and some of the walls have been demolished by other people to build other things" Xiang Yang stood behind Zhang Long and whispered.

Zhang Long nodded slightly, looked up at the sky, it was almost noon: "Is there an inn or tavern in the village?" ”

Yes, and there are several, and the scale is not small, after all, it is a rich area, even if it has been ravaged by the Japanese at the moment.

There was no rice, and I felt a little confused when I looked at a pot of wine, a few plates of seafood, and a few sweet potatoes on the table.

"My lord doesn't know, only the king and the aristocratic class have rice to eat in the Ryukyus," Xiang Yang looked at Zhang Long, who was a little confused, and said quickly.

Ryukyu because of the regional problems of the land is barren, agriculture is not developed, mainly rely on secondary trade in exchange for the required goods, the country often has famine, most of the people to a native plant cycad fruit for food, so Ryukyu also has the cycad region called, until 1604 sweet potato through China introduced, and widely planted, the people can just be considered to be able to meet the hunger, the whole people are sweet potatoes staple food.

"Mother's legs, poor like this, I don't know that the Japanese people have come to invade again and again, picture a bird's egg" Zhang Long couldn't help pouting and scolded, picked up a sweet potato and started eating, after all, he was also born in poverty, and he was not picky about food, but he was caught up by the fact that there was no rice in a big restaurant in a rich area.

"Ant legs are also meat," Ye Tan poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Although Ryukyu does not produce any rare things, but his geographical location is really good, his subordinates have heard that Ryukyu is known as Wanguo Jinliang, mainly doing transit business, from Korea, Japan to sell goods to the Ming Dynasty and Southeast Asian countries, and vice versa......"

Zhang Long nodded: "The prince once told me, but it was not so detailed, so he said: Naha Port in the Ryukyus is one of the busiest ports in this era."

Hehe, Xiang Yang, who was sitting on the side, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Now the port can be stocked with geese and ducks, except for those sailors and fishermen who have dogs, there are almost no other boats."

"Do you have a si-boat?" Zhang Long asked.

"Occasionally, there will be some pirates, or maritime merchants will come to get some goods, and only these people will come to the port to trade, because the Shima Tokugawa family does not allow the lords of various feudal clans to open ports privately, and the serious maritime merchants do not dare to come, only these **** private and Satsuma clan collude...... Xiang Yang shook his wine glass lightly.

"Hey, are those people a Japanese soldier?" At this moment, one of Zhang Long's three entourages suddenly pointed to the outside of the restaurant and said.

Zhang Long and the others looked along, and sure enough, they saw six or seven strangely dressed people with long knives at their waists staggering over on the street, after all, this is a gathering place for the descendants of the Han people, talking and wearing all Hanfu, this habit has been followed until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, resolutely not wearing kimonos, and some even went to Middle-earth in order to escape the forced Yifu.

"This is the Japanese ronin" Xiang Yang picked up the water cup as a cover and whispered to Zhang Long: "The ronin is the down-and-out samurai of Japan, because the master family is downcast or made a mistake and was expelled by the master's family, in our words, they are soldiers and ruffians who no one cares, these people are lawless and evil, these are the ronins who committed my Ming border back then, my lord, don't stare at them......"

Xiang Yang's last sentence was a little late.
