When the news reached Kyushu Island, it was already more than a month later.

Under the fierce offensive of the Xia army, the defeat of the Japanese army in southern Kyushu was assured, and the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain resisted the front line, but in the rear, more than ten warships of the Hokuyang Naval Division went directly south along the coast, broke into Kagoshima Bay strongly, and launched a fierce artillery bombardment on Kagoshima Castle, the main city of the Satsuma Domain, and its core.

The Satsuma clan had never been bombarded from the sea, so it had no forts on land, and its naval army had been sent out in previous draws, and it was completely annihilated in naval battles with the Xia and Joseon forces.

Therefore, in the face of the bombardment from the sea, the Satsuma clan could only sit back and wait for death, desperately enduring the terrible shelling.

When the news reached the front line, Shimazu Mitsuhisa, the lord of the Satsuma Domain, suddenly had a surge of blood and blood in his throat, and vomited blood on the spot, and he didn't care about the stalemate on the front line, and hurriedly returned to Kagoshima Castle.

Unaware that the news of the artillery bombardment in the rear had not been blocked, it quickly spread throughout the army, and the army from the Satsuma clan was immediately shaken, and finally there was a rout under the fierce offensive of the Xia army.

When Shimazu Mitsuhisa returned to Kagoshima Castle and saw the devastated ruins, he almost fainted in despair, and then when he learned the news that the army at the front had been defeated, he fainted as if he had been hit head-on.

When Shimazu Mitsuhisa woke up again, the Xia army had successfully broken through the Japanese defense line and conquered the entire territory of Higo, and its troops had penetrated deep into the territory of the Satsuma Domain.

After more than a month of fighting, the feudal lords and daimyo of southern Kyushu were either killed or forced to surrender, and the fighting continued until the beginning of July, leaving only the Satsuma clan fighting on the entire island of Kyushu.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa was reluctant to surrender, but he also did not want to see his family fall away, after Kagoshima Castle fell into the siege of the Xia army, Shimazu Mitsuhisa committed suicide by wielding a sword in the castle tower, and after his death, his son led the defenders of the castle to surrender on their own initiative, and Kyushu was decided.

After the Xia army destroyed the Satsuma Domain and invaded Kagoshima Castle, they learned at this time that the Ryukyu Kingdom, which had always been a subject of the Celestial Empire, was actually forced to pay tribute to the Satsuma Domain, and the Ryukyu envoys who had been hiding in Kagoshima Castle saw the Xia army entering the city, and hurriedly ran to them, shouting in Chinese that they were Ryukyu envoys, and asking the Celestial Empire to support the Ryukyus.

Afterwards, the envoy was brought to Hao Shaoqi, the Duke of Yiguo, who was only a rough man who did not care about these things, and he just sent a few random words, and then ordered someone to send him to Fukuoka.

On the other hand, several fierce battles broke out between the Xia and Korean coalition forces and the Japanese naval forces in the Guanmen Strait, and the Japanese naval forces concentrated most of the warships here in order to open up the road for the Chinese army to enter Kyushu Island, and the Xia and Korean coalition forces were not to be outdone.

In order to contend for the right to control the sea in this sea area, the two sides fought almost every day, and the sound of guns and shouts of killing in the Guanmen Strait shook the sky, and the Japanese warships launched charges at the enemy ships one after another, and from time to time the warships were heavily damaged and sunk, and the corpses floating on the sea surface of the Guanmen Strait could be seen everywhere.

The battle was fought not only in the Kanmon Strait, but also in the Bungo Waterway, which separates Kyushu Island from Shikoku Island, where the warships of the two sides fought fiercely, and the Shikoku region has a long tradition of cultivating longbowmen, who also provided great help to the Japanese in naval battles.

They shot a rain of arrows at the Korean warships, and after the rain of arrows entered the Korean warships, they were about to ignite them, and the Japanese warships took advantage of the fact that the sailors on board were hurrying to extinguish the fire, and took advantage of the situation to approach and attack at close range with iron cannons and baked jade, severely damaging and sinking the Korean warships.

Thanks to this method, the Japanese won a temporary victory and took the opportunity to escort their ships to the shores of Bungo, but even if their ships docked, they could not change the tide of the battle.

After the Japanese reinforcements landed and landed, the Xia army quickly rushed to attack the landing Japanese army with heavy firepower, where did the Japanese army in Shikoku encounter such terrible firepower, and it only lasted long before it was routed.

After losing many soldiers one after another, the Japanese army on the Shikoku side stopped this senseless sacrifice and reported to the shogunate, telling the shogun that it was not that they did not work hard, but that the Xia army was too strong.

Although the combined forces of Xia and Korea failed to completely control the sea,

However, it also prevented the Japanese army from supporting the west, which provided a stable external environment for Sufuke's reform work in the abolition of the feudal domain on Kyushu Island.

With the approval of the imperial court after the will was issued, Su Fu began a vigorous reform of abolishing the feudal domain, he ordered the overthrow of the old system, and ordered people to translate and copy the laws of Bactria and post them everywhere.

At the same time, all nine reichons on Kyushu Island were abolished and all of them were converted into prefectures, and Tsushima and Iki in the Korean Strait were brought under the jurisdiction of Hizen Prefecture, and Tanegashima Island south of Satsuma was also incorporated into Satsuma Prefecture.

The Chikugo area was smaller, merged with Chikuzen and was renamed Chikushifu, and Satsuma merged with Osumi and was called Satsuma.

After some changes, Kyushu ...... Oh no, the Tsukushi Cloth Political Envoy has the following seven mansions:

Chikushi Prefecture, Fukuoka Prefecture.

Hizen Prefecture, Prefecture Nagasaki.

Bunzen Prefecture, Fuji Kokura Castle (near the Kanmon Strait).

Fenghou Mansion, the inner city of Fuzhifu.

Higo Prefecture, Kumamoto Castle.

Satsuma Prefecture, Kagoshima Castle.

Hyugafu, Fuji Gate Kawajo.

The entire Tsukushi Cloth Political Envoy Department has a total population of about one million people, mainly of the He ethnic group, of which a small number of Japanese and Han people have settled, and this part of the Japanese and Han people has suddenly risen in social status after the establishment of the Tsukushi Cloth Political Envoy Division.

The Han Chinese, who had been oppressed by the Tokugawa shogunate's anti-Chinese edict, suddenly became a respected uncle, which made many Han Chinese who had not left Japan feel like they were dreaming.

They walked down the streets, and those who would normally insult them unceremoniously at the sight of them and spit on them now nodded to them and greeted them respectfully, some even kneeling before them, begging them not to hold them accountable for their previous offenses.

This change made many Han people deeply understand the great impact of the country's strength on the common people, and they sang praises to the imperial court and were proud of themselves as the people of the Xia Dynasty.

Su Fu did not know anything about the changes at the bottom level, after the establishment of the political envoys, he ordered a large number of construction projects in the territory of each prefecture, and forcibly recruited Japanese civilians to participate in the construction of the new city, driven by the Xia army and the Korean official army, a large number of Japanese were hit, with simple tools to cut down the mountains and forests, excavate and polish stones, and use the cheapest manpower to transport the project raw materials to the selected new city address, according to the pre-drawn drawings for construction.

Because of the Imjin War, the Koreans had a low opinion of the Japanese, so they beat and scolded the Japanese at every turn, and whipped them, and the Xia army also found out about this, so they appointed the Koreans as supervisors with bad taste, and I have to say that the Japanese are cheap, and under the bad attitude of the Korean supervisors, their work efficiency has become higher.
