Dragon Sea Empire

Chapter 194 Fighting Ryukyu

The daughter of Yin Feng and Zeng Qian lost her mother when she was born.Starved for three days and almost died.Finally found a nanny in Hong Kong, Taiwan.Retrieve a little life.

When Yin Feng left Taiwan Hong Kong.But he didn't even look at her.Everyone else can feel it.Although Yin Feng still maintained the original style.I don't like to directly intervene in the specific work process of my subordinates.But it seemed very silent.And get angry more easily than before.

More than [-] Chinese armed to the teeth are waiting in the northern port of Taiwan.Waiting to go north to Ryukyu.Revenge for the sneak attack on Taiwan and Hong Kong.But the wind still blows from the north.Ships in the age of sail cannot do without the wind.Also constrained by the wind.at this time.Yin Feng almost wished that he could have Zhuge Liang's magic power of borrowing the east wind.

Soldiers whose family members were killed repeatedly came to the old camp to petition.Take the initiative to ask to take risks and go northward against the wind.

Yin Feng disagreed.And personally came forward to appease them.

The Soul of the Sea adjusts its sails and sails against the wind.Going north against the wind is a must.and.During this time, the north wind was fierce.The sea was choppy.At this time, let thousands or tens of thousands of people go northward by boat against the wind.It is God's blessing that half of the people can reach the destination.

When Chen Zhongji left Taiwan.Yin Feng's instructions to him did not actually mean to stick to Naha to the end.However.Chen Zhongji judged from some information Yin Feng gave him.The Ryukyu campaign planned by Yin Feng requires the Chinese business hall to contain the Japanese pirates' troops.So he insisted on staying and guarding the Naha trading house.at the same time.He also began to organize the evacuation of civilian staff and shop assistants.

Early the next morning.Chen Zhongji hurried to the port with those who needed to be evacuated.

They just walked out of the shop.Several Ryukyu soldiers in gray corsets and spears in their hands hurried over.stopped them at the gate.

The leading soldiers were quite respectful.According to the Chinese custom, they clasped their fists and bowed their hands to salute.Said in southern Hokkien dialect: "Xie Yuanshui is here. It is also after the 36 families in Fujian. The current leader of the Xie Mingqin Fang adults' guards. Excuse me. Is your shopkeeper here?"

Chen Zhongji looked around.The surrounding situation was found to be very chaotic.Countless Ryukyu people dragged their children and children, and carried gold and silver.Shouting, crying and crying, they ran from the direction of the port.

He stood up and bowed his hands and said: "This is the next one. Excuse me, are you..."

Several Ryukyu soldiers were amazed at his youth.I looked up and down a few more times.Xie Yuanshui said: "My family thanked Mr. Fang Zheng Jiong, please come to the house to talk..."

Chen Zhongji smiled: "Since Master Zheng invited you, I will go with you big brothers." He ordered his subordinates: "Send these brothers to the Sea Soul. Hurry up..."

Xie Yuanshui suddenly said: "Do you want to go to sea now? Are you going back to Tangshan? It's too late. I can't go."

Everyone looked at him in surprise.He pointed to the direction of the port and said, "The Japanese fleet has already appeared outside Naha Port. Now you can't leave even if you want to."

"What. So soon..." Chen Zhongji was taken aback.Suddenly, I saw several people wearing the uniforms of the Chinese company's crew - blue tights rushing out of the crowd.Go straight to the door of the shop.

"Captain Huang. What's going on." Chen Zhongji grabbed the person in front of him.asked anxiously.The captain of the Sea Soul said out of breath: "Master Chen, we can't leave. The Japanese pirates have blocked the exit of Naha Port."

Chen Zhongji had no choice but to send the civilian staff to be evacuated back to the business hall.Then followed Xie Mingqin's guards to Yaliangzao Forest City.

The castle is not big.But the high walls are all made of stone.Tall and thick.There are three cannon mounts.An old-fashioned front-loading bronze cannon imitated from the Ming Dynasty in China is placed.

A middle-aged man wearing a Chinese-style robe and official uniform looked melancholy at the sea ahead.

On the sea of ​​Naha Port.More than a hundred Japanese-style sailing ships of the Shimadzu Army. .The Anzhai boat was covered in darkness.The Maruji flag of the Shimadzu family is hung.Flags are waving.Covers the sea as far as the eye can see.

This is another Shimadzu army divided from Urasoe Castle.There are more than 1000 of them.It is the waterway army led by Satsuma's deputy general Hirata Masamune.Arrive at Naha sea two days later.Because the front of Naha Port is guarded by the North and South Forts.The defense is solid.In order to avoid an attack, the Shimadzu army temporarily blocked Naha Port from the range of the artillery.

Chen Zhongji has already met the head of the three chief officers of Chinese descent; Xie Fang Zheng Jiong.After he went up to pay respects.I don't even bother to say polite words.Come to the fort and take out the binoculars.Observe the Japanese pirate fleet in the direction of the port.Then.He handed the telescope to Xie Mingqin and said: "Master Zheng. This is a telescope. It was given to me by my lord."

Zheng Jiong took a telescope and looked at it curiously for a while.Be amazed.In a blink of an eye, I remembered the current situation.His face darkened.He sighed: "After all, it is a big country in the Celestial Dynasty. There are such rare things. It's a pity. Now I don't need this telescope. I can see the fleet of the Satsuma clan on the opposite side. Young people. Shopkeeper Chen. You should go " Zheng Jiong said resolutely: "The Japanese are wolfish ambitions. I am the advocate who insists on being close to the heavens and resisting the Japanese pirates. Once the Satsuma army wins, I, the instigator, will not end well. The king treats me well. I can't bear to turn my back He. It's just my hope. You can take my family out of Ryukyu. Send it to Taiwan Island where your parents are."

Zheng Jiong's words clearly showed his current state of mind: as the prime minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the highest civil official.He has also lost confidence in the army that defeated Satsuma.

……

Chen Zhongji returned to the shop.The original storekeeper Lu Yun also came to Naha from Shuri with his seriously injured body.He was also worried about his fate; when he was the treasurer of the Zhonghua Merchant House.However, he took on a deep hatred with the samurai merchants of the Satsuma domain.In case the Shimadzu army breaks into Shuri.It is not clear what will happen to him.so.He also wanted to catch the last boat to Taiwan.But just arrived in Naha.It was discovered that the sea outside the port was already full of Shimadzu Army ships.

Captain Huang saw that everyone was very discouraged and disappointed.Standing up, he said, "The Sea Soul is a fast ship built by the captain himself. It is the only fast sailing ship in the world. As long as we can escape to the open sea, no ship can catch up with us."

Lu Yun sighed: "Hey. The problem now is how to escape from the port."

Captain Huang smiled and said: "I have been to and from Naha Port five or six times. At high tide at night, our boat can venture across the beach south of the port."

Chen Zhongji shook his head: "Are you sure? There are shoals and reefs there. It is easy to run aground on the rocks when sailing at night. The family members of the third officer, Mr. Zheng, will also go with us. There must be no mistakes."

Captain Huang nodded and said: "I'm sure. I'll leave the heavy iron of the Sea Soul and the cannons on the bow for you too. Reduce the weight of the hull and reduce the draft of the ship. It will definitely pass the south coast safely. I Reduce the drinking water on board. Anyway, going to Taiwan is a smooth sailing. You can reach Taipei in a few days. You don’t need too much food and water.”

"Let's do this. Go to Taiwan quickly. Let the ship owner's army set off earlier. The three hundred brothers here are looking forward to it." Chen Zhongji made a decisive decision.

……

The weather on this day is poor.The clouds are thick and the black clouds are rolling.But it never rains.at high tide.The Sea Soul successfully crossed the beach south of the port.Just came to the sea outside the port.The Haihun was discovered by several patrolling Shimadzu warships.but.At this time, the north wind was blowing slightly on the sea.The Sea Soul pulled up all the canvas.Headed south quickly.The Japanese boat just wanted to catch up.The Sea Soul has easily left its pursuers behind.

but.The Haihun also happened to take advantage of a loophole; the Shimadzu Army's deputy general Hirata Masamune was dispatching the ships of his troops to the north.Ignore the blockade in the southern gulf.

The day after Hiratabe successfully escaped on the Sea Soul (April [-]).Bypass the front of Naha Port.Landed at Obama Bay not far from the north side of Naha Port.Attack the Ryukyu garrison behind Naha.In this way.Yaraza Mori Castle and Mie Castle on Naha Port are like trash.It lost its efficacy and completely disrupted Zheng Jiong's plan to resist steadily.

At the same time as Hiratabe landed on Obama.Adjusted.On the way to Shuri Castle, the Huashan Iron Artillery Team easily defeated Yueqin Fang stationed at Taiping Bridge.The Huashan Department continued to move forward with basically no casualties.

Zheng Jiong got the emergency documents from Shuri.Turn around in a hurry.After landing in Naha, Hirata Zengzong's department.We have already approached the port from the back of Naha Port.The surrounding area of ​​Naha Port was filled with fireworks and gunpowder.The ordinary people who escaped slowly basically suffered.

商馆送走了闲杂人等。剩下的200护卫队步兵、80名特种营战士。20名水手-总计300名商馆守卫者都已经严阵以待。准备和倭寇接仗了。商馆内拥有十四门大炮。两门小型野战炮。两门发射爆炸弹的轰天炮。每名守卫者都配发了燧发火枪、手雷。特种营战士还人人配发燧发手枪一支。20名水手另外还人手一把海船上防身用的小型弓弩。可谓人人武装到了牙齿。

Chen Zhongji went up to the watchtower on the east side.The first thing I saw was not the samurai and soldiers of Satsuma.But groups of fleeing people.Smoke rose behind them.

not for a while.The fleeing crowd passed on both sides of the Zhonghua Commercial Hall.They scattered and fled in all directions.noon.A large number of refugees gathered at the entrance of the Zhonghua Commercial Hall.Crying and shouting to get in.

"We're all from Tangshan. We're from Jiumi Village. Let us in." There was already a lot of crying outside.From time to time, it was mixed with the shrill cries of children and babies.

Zhang Hai, who was also observing the situation on the watchtower, jumped up and shouted, "Open the door quickly. Quick."

"No. Don't open the door." Chen Zhongji sternly shouted.He grabbed Zhang Hai: "Brother Zhang, you can't let anyone in."
