Chapter 864: Take Yuntian Harbor

The port of Naha is the largest and most prosperous port in the Ryukyus, but it is not the only one, and even at this time, it is not the most prosperous, because since the sea ban, there are almost no merchant ships docking, but several ports in the sparsely populated areas on the north side of the island are lively, the largest of which is the port of Yunten. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yes, the port of Yunten, where the Japanese army landed in the Ryukyus, became the most prosperous port in the Ryukyus, because it was located in the north of the island, close to the Japanese mainland, and some smuggling ships and merchant ships docked here, and almost all of the minerals that the Satsuma clan had developed from the Ryukyus were shipped to Japan from this port.

Yuntian Port became the most important port in the Ryukyus, and naturally there were Japanese soldiers stationed there, but because it was close to the north, it was close to the Japanese and the local army was not much.

However, as one of the retreats of the Japanese soldiers, Rwann had already mobilized most of the warships to blockade the coastline before the war, and strictly forbade any ships to enter or leave, even if he knew that the news of the opening of Shurijo Castle could not reach the north so quickly, but it was always useful to take precautions and take precautions!

It's just that I didn't expect this trick to be used before the day came.

It's because of the weather!

Heavy rain and strong winds, Rwan's command of the ground battle to take Shuri Castle was not affected much, on the contrary, it was somewhat beneficial, for example, the muskets of the Japanese army did not play a big role!

But for the five warships that went north to blockade the port, they couldn't have a good time!

Although the warships were more advanced than all the ships of this era, they were only converted into fishing boats of later generations. The strong winds and waves on the sea made the warship tremble.

In this kind of weather, there are no ships in and out of the port at all, and the five warships blockade and inspect several ports back and forth along the northern coastline, but they gradually feel uneasy, the wind and waves are getting stronger and stronger, and they must stay ashore to take shelter, otherwise they are very likely to be swallowed by the wind and waves.

But once you land, it will be equivalent to face to face with the guards, and it is very likely that you will have to fight!

The problem is that in ground operations, the Navy does not have an advantage at all, and secondly, it is even more ignorant of the opposing side's forces and terrain.

Luo Zhonghou, the temporary commander of the cruise formation, immediately made a decision with his boss Zhang Long.

Zhang Long kicked the ball without hesitation to Lu Wang, who was having dinner with King De and others!

Hit, I don't know the depth of people.

If you don't fight, you will either return or capsize, and this big storm or even a return voyage can cause an accident!

Rwann looked up and looked outside, the rain was getting lighter, but the wind was not abating!

"Lord Wang, let's fight!" The lynx whispered beside him, as for King De and the others just eating silently or watching quietly, they only dared to listen to this kind of thing, but they didn't dare to say a word.

Lou Wan smiled and looked back at the bobcat: "Why?"

"There are two reasons for this! First, there is a danger for warships that do not dock! Second, it is not necessary to lose if we fight, and it is not much risk for us to take a port with 100 people on five warships! ”

"Oh, why are you so sure?" Lu Wan asked with a smile again!

"The total strength of the Japanese army is only more than 3,000 people, except for some arranged here in Shuri Castle, most of the others are in the mountains and those mines, it is impossible to have much remaining in the port, not to mention that the ports over there are all close to the Japanese mainland, if it is not for wartime, they don't need to deploy too many troops, so the subordinates infer that those ports are at most a few watchdogs!"

"But Naha Harbor is guarded by 500 sailors!" The corners of Lu Wang's mouth twitched and smiled slightly.

"The five hundred sailors arranged in Naha Port are just to deter the royal palace of Shuri Castle, of course, it is also to deter foreign forces, the north is sparsely populated, and those ports are just for transporting minerals, and they are too close to the mainland, so there is no need for too many troops to garrison them in wartime!"

The lynx's expression was very affirmative, and he was confident!

"Good, good! Since you propose to fight, let's fight, if you don't win, you will be responsible! Lu Wang nodded slightly, looked at the soldier who delivered the letter on the side and said: "Pass the order, let go and fight, and take Yuntiangang!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang" the herald saluted and turned to run!

Forehead...... Lord Wang, the lynx looked confused: "Obviously, you have already decided in your heart that you want to fight, why do you want me to take responsibility?" ”

"Why don't you use a cushion on your back" Lu Wang smiled and looked at King De and a few people: "Go on, where did we just go!" ”

Boom, the lynx couldn't sit still any longer, and regardless of the fact that Lu Wan and King De continued to talk, he got up and ran out and disappeared into the rain......

Rwan glanced back and couldn't help but laugh again.

After a few minutes, the embarrassed bobcat came back wet, but with a smile on his face.

"What? There's a bottom! "Lou Wan lit a cigarette and threw it to him!

"There's a bottom! More than 120 people, 30 guns, and other well-armed knives, guns, and clubs, raiding a port, the chance of winning is at least eighty percent! The lynx gasped, took the cigarette from Lu Wang, and took a hard puff!

"Ten percent!"

Lu Wang smiled, turned his head and continued to chat with King De!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the rain had stopped, but the wind was still blowing.

Kume Island is wet and cold.,Plus the howling wind.,It's cold and I just want to hide under the covers to do exercise to keep warm.。。

But!

The residents of Kume Village obviously don't have any interest in this way, let alone being bedded, they can't stay at home, and even the whole family has come out to sneak out of the street despite the strong wind outside and the muddy ground on the ground!

Why?

Look at the excitement!

What's the excitement?

Those who have no money go to join the army, and those who have cash and silver and food! Conscription!

If you have money, go shopping! With the merchant ships of the Ming Navy began to operate, all kinds of hard goods, not afraid of you to pick, afraid that you don't have enough money!

At this moment, the inhabitants of Kumejima are happy.

They are relatively wealthy, and they are all impressed by the conditions of conscription, not to mention the high-quality and inexpensive goods brought by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

You know, they haven't enjoyed the benefits and pleasure of free trade for many years, you must know that the sea ban has been on the Ryukyu Sea for so many years, and all the trade of other countries must be traded in the Japanese first, and then the second-hand dealers (Satsuma Domain) of the Japanese country will come upside down, and the price has soared terrifyingly! And I don't have to pick yet, I don't have to choose!

But now it's different, the goods brought by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are hard and don't want to, just more than a dozen kinds of tea, and more importantly, people can retail and wholesale, real direct sales!

Lu Wang was also shopping, with Ma Han, Bobcat and other three or five personal guards, followed by Zhang Chaoming, who had just come to report!

A few people were wrapped very tightly, not because they thought that they were popular for fear of being recognized, so the residents of the island would not be interested in chasing stars, and they were either busy shopping or going to the recruiting office to watch the excitement, not to mention that Lou Wan was not popular on the island at this time! The reason why it is wrapped so tightly is because it is afraid of the cold! Northeast silver that is afraid of cold.

"This is Zheng Zhen's old mansion?" Louvon asked, dressed in rubber shoes, standing in the mud, with a cigarette in his mouth and squinting as he looked at the dilapidated mansion.

"Back to the prince, exactly!" Zhang Chaoming bowed and said!

"Yes, very good, just right!" Lu Wan nodded slightly!

"Lord Wang, what's good, it's not bad to be broken like this!" Mahan wondered!

"The land is good, and the location is good!"

Lu Wang smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Zhang Chaoming: "Buy it, if it is ownerless, you will occupy it!" ”

Forehead...... Zhang Chaoming was stunned

Lu Wang continued: "That's it for the Ryukyu Intelligence Service!" ”

Zhang Chaoming understood in seconds, and his eyes lit up: "It's the prince!" ”

"It's the master, we occupy it, we also occupy it, our Ming army worked hard to help them fight the dogs, what happened to occupy a broken house, and waste that money!" Mahan muttered!

"That's it, that's it! Occupy it, take it! The bobcat and a few other guards nodded their heads as well!

Hahaha, Lu Wang laughed, flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, and shook his head slightly: "Then what is the difference between us and the dogs!" ”

Forehead...... Mahan and the others were stunned!

"There is no reason for the dogs to bully, we can't ...... like this," Lu Wang said, and Mahan and the others bowed their heads and remained silent, but who expected it......

"Let's look farther, not only bullying but also having a way, to put it bluntly, we have to look good when we eat!" Hey, hey, hey, Luwan smirked.

Mahan and the others looked at each other......

Lu Wang underestimated the Ryukyuan people, or rather, he underestimated his own charm, oh no, the charm of the silver in his hand!

Just walked around the Confucian Temple, ready to see how King De's business was doing, Zhang Long hurried over, and the sweat that left on a windy day couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Lord, it's risky, it's risky! The subordinate three places have recruited more than 2,700 troops now, do you want to ......"

Forehead...... Lu Wang was a little confused, he originally wanted to spend such a large price just to quickly recruit a thousand people, such a high price, it is not surprising to recruit two or three thousand people for a period of time, but he didn't think that it was only a few hours, and it was almost three thousand!

Is it because you are too rich, or the Ryukyuan people are too poor, or because there is too much labor!

Apparently both!

"Yes, the more the merrier! But the military salary is halved! Lu Wan couldn't help but laugh happily!

"Also, pull out a thousand people first, transfer the manpower of your army for emergency training, and remember to disrupt the more than 200 people in the palace guards!"

"Do you want to ...... those palace guards?" asked Zhang Long in a low voice.

Lu Wang understood his intentions and nodded slightly: "Those people in the guard are divided into groups, and the size can be given to a squad leader and a platoon leader, first, to win people's hearts, and secondly, those Ryukyuan people also have a sense of awe for those who are born in the guards, which is easy to manage!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang" Zhang Long saluted and said goodbye, but soon turned around and came back: "Lord Wang, Yuntiangang has been taken"

Hey...... Rwann smiled faintly and glanced sideways at the bobcat, who was exhaling and patting his chest.

With a slight wave of his hand, he turned around and walked towards the temporary market of King Tokuwang and the others!

"Lord Wang, Lord ......"

At this moment, a herald hurriedly arrived, followed by a Ryukyuan man, panting!

Lou Wan turned his head, stared, frowned!

"Lord Wang, King Shangxian sent someone to invite the prince to the palace for a banquet, saying that it was for you and the Ming Army to catch the wind and wash the dust!" The herald said.

Lu Wang glanced at the man behind the herald, he was a eunuch, he didn't dare to raise his head when he trembled, and his brows were furrowed!

Invite me to dinner? Lu Wang muttered softly, as if he was smiling!

There is no good feast! Lynx hey hey chuckles!

"What, do you dare to have a Hongmen banquet?" Mahan sneered!

It's hard to say! Lynx keep up hey, hey, hey!

"Then don't go! Anyway, the poor jingle can't make anything delicious! Ma Han snorted coldly, looking at the eunuch with a look of disdain.

"Go!" Lu Wang said suddenly!

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, maybe you can get some oil and water!" Lu Wang smiled and looked at the eunuch, "Go back and tell me, this king will definitely arrive at night!" ”
