The Satsuma clan is fleeing.

The Liaodong army was divided into three routes, landed from the three major ports, and immediately marched towards one goal.

Shurijo Castle, the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

It has become the last sanctuary of Ashigaru.

They tried to put up a final standstill on the walls of Shuri Castle.

However, they clearly miscalculated.

The Liaodong army approached the city and then surrounded it.

And a hill of earth was built in the southeast outside the city.

Under the umbrella, Yang Chengying stood beside the earth mountain and observed the enemy situation with a telescope.

At this time, Gui Bo Xuanfang came.

"Jinglu, are you looking for me?"

Gui Bo Xuanfang was obviously a little confused, saying such non-nutritious words.

In the final analysis, Yang Chengying played too fast.

In less than two hours, they had already swept across Ryukyu Island and defeated the 3,000 Satsuma Satsuma stationed on the island.

"Master, I hope you can enter the city to persuade Huashan Jiugao to surrender, otherwise I will not accept surrender on the day the city is broken."

Yang Chengying turned his head to look at Gui Bo Xuanfang and said with a smile.

"Okay, old monk try his best."

Gui Bo Xuanfang bowed and bowed, and walked towards Shuri Castle with his legs raised.

Looking at the monk's distant back, Yang Chengying smiled slightly.

Of course, he would not pin the capture of Shuri Castle on a monk.

"Cao Bianjiao!"

"Yes."

"You go in person, let General Zheng dismantle a few cannons on the boat, and transport them to me in a carriage."

"Order." Cao Bianjiao turned and left.

He had not been long gone when he saw a herald running up.

"Jingluo, a large number of sea ships were found in the northeast, and General Zheng asked me to report on Jingluo."

"Well, you go back and tell General Zheng, I know it in my heart."

Yang Chengying nodded.

"Yes." The herald walked away quickly.

Shurijo Castle was originally built to facilitate the control of Naha Port.

So, it's very close to the port of Naha.

Thanks to this, Yang Chengying can grasp the outside situation at the first time.

"The order goes down, and the soldiers take turns eating."

Seeing the panicked figure at the head of the city, Yang Chengying took away the monocular and sat on the horse to eat.

Outside the island, Zheng Zhilong commanded a fleet of sailors to meet the sailors from the Satsuma Domain.

Six fourth-class sail battleships and ten large bird ships lined up in a "one" line, blocking the sea of the Satsuma Domain's sailors heading for the Ryukyus.

Another twenty ships sailed forward from both sides of the long snake formation on the sea to encircle the enemy.

"Fire!"

Zheng Zhilong observed with a telescope, and at the same time estimated the distance, and when he reached the right distance, he gave an order.

Hundreds of cannons were fired one after another, shaking the ship.

Some of the iron bullets that flew out fell into the water and smashed into the water column. Some smashed on the boat, and sawdust flew everywhere.

This year marks the third year of Chongzhen, fourteen years have passed since the Osaka Summer Battle, and twenty-six years have passed since the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate.

When doing business, the shogunate can turn a blind eye. If you develop your military strength, you will be beaten hard by the shogunate.

In the 37th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Tokugawa shogunate promulgated the "Prohibition Decree on the Construction of Large Ships", prohibiting the construction of ships with a tonnage of more than 500 koku in the country.

As a result, although the Satsuma clan had a lot of trade with the Netherlands, Spain and other countries, the sailors never made great progress.

In the face of a volley of artillery, the Satsuma Domain's naval division, which had the advantage in numbers, was beaten without a backhand.

Soon, the ships rushed to the east and west, and the Satsuma Domain's sailors were sandwiched, and more than half of the eighty Ataku ships were destroyed, so they had to retreat.

But Zheng Zhilong obviously didn't want them to retreat safely, so he had already sent five bird boats to block the enemy's way.

The boats lowered their boats, which were laden with firewood and grass, covered with green cloth, poured with oil, and placed with iron nails in front.

Wait for the enemy to appear and sail the ship towards the enemy.

When they were about to get closer, they lit a fire and jumped out of the lifeboat.

Fireships rammed into enemy ships. Rub it, and a raging fire ignites.

The well-protected Ataku ship suddenly became a coffin at sea.

Bird ships shelled the remaining ships.

The fire accompanied the shipwreck, staining the sky a blood-red color.

The magnificence of the sea, Yang Chengying was not blessed to see.

He was calculating and laying out the emplacement points.

"Southeast corner, shoot at this angle, destroy the enemy's watchtower."

Yang Cheng applied a stone to the ground and drew a parabola.

Next to it is the ballistic parabola calculation formula.

"We use a jack cannon, I don't know if it's powerful enough."

Shi Daxuan said worriedly.

He was ordered by Zheng Zhilong to send artillery to the besieging army.

The war horses that transported the cannons came from the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Thanks to the military discipline of the Satsuma clan and the same military discipline as the thieves, and the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom heard that it was the Ming Kingdom that came to save them, they sacrificed horses and cattle one after another.

The cannon was transported from Naha Port to Shuri Castle.

"Don't worry. I have carefully observed that the material of the enemy's city wall construction is no different from that of Liaoyang and other places, and it is still low, and the cannon of this weight is enough. ”

Yang Chengying patted the soil on his hands.

Shi Daxuan slapped his thigh, "Then fuck it." When will the fight start? ”

"I'll talk about it when Gui Bo Xuanfang comes out."

Yang Chengying asked casually: "Your eldest son should be nine years old this year." ”

"Yes, the labor is a little remembered, and the kid can't make it." Shi Daxuan looked delighted.

"Where did he study?" Yang Chengying asked.

"Lushun Primary School!"

Shi Daxuan grinned and said, "This kid fights with his classmates all day long, so much so that I have to go to the master every time I go back." ”

"Where's your youngest son, Shi Xian?" Yang Chengying asked again.

"He's living with his mother."

"My eldest son is three years old, and he just needs a playmate. General Zheng's son is in my house, if you don't dislike it, let your youngest son go to my house too. ”

"This ...... This is a good feeling. ”

Shi Daxuan was so excited that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Chengying.

Thinking that he would be scolded, Shi Daxuan clenched his fists and shook deeply.

Yang Chengying waved his hand and said, "A little thing is not enough to worry about." You send your eldest son over as well. Well...... They are too stubborn and need a teacher to teach them. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Chengying invited Huang Zongxi over.

As soon as he heard that he was an enlightenment teacher for a group of children, Huang Zongxi shook his head like a rattle: "I want to be a teacher of the people, not a master of the children of officials and eunuchs." ”

"I don't want you to be the king of children for the rest of your life, I just need to teach my son with other children until he is eight years old and enter the primary school."

Yang Chengying said: "As for General Shi's eldest son, he will be taught until he is thirteen years old, and then sent to the junior high school for five years. ”

"Does that make a difference?" Huang Zongxi frowned.

"This is the most important time period for children, and you need to teach them well."

"You're not afraid that I'll teach them badly?"

"Don't be afraid. If they are bad, it only proves that your level is limited to that. ”

"You can do it. Okay, I'll just say yes, but I'll only teach for five years! ”

"Deal."

Yang Chengying stretched out his hand and swore an oath with Huang Zongxi.

Shi Daxuan's eldest son is Shi Lang.

Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang, Fan Chengmo, Shi Xian and a large number of outstanding figures are the hope of the future.
