Dragon Sea Empire

Chapter 208 Fighting Satsuma

The mast of Yin Feng's ship, the Flying Wolf, was as thick as a man.There are simply no materials to restore on Miyakojima.So we set off before we had time to repair the mast.Yin Feng thought the Flying Wolf was running slowly.When we arrived at the outer sea of ​​Naha Port, we transferred to the giant ship Feihu.The rebuilt Flying Tiger has a total of 50 cannons on both sides.One heavy gun at the bow and one at the stern.The current captain is also a descendant of Danmin in Yazhou.His name is Ye Hai.It is Ye Hua's family brother.

Yin Feng saw in the binoculars the flag of the Chinese company flying above the roof of the roof of the Mori city.He let out a long breath.He turned his head and said to the messenger: "Give an order to Mai Dahai. Let him command the Flying Leopard and Flying Wolf to go north to bombard Sanchong City. Order Fan Tao to command the transport ship to go north. Send the [-]st Battalion of the Second Regiment to the coast of Boshang Shrine."

This is the planned attack on Miejo Castle, Obama, Kume Village and other areas.The main purpose is to completely seize the area around Naha Port.Consolidate the control of the Naha Port by the Chinese Army.

soon.The giant cannon ship appeared majestically in front of the Shimadzu army on the north shore.Each side of the two battleships has nearly 30 cannons that can fire salvos.Thick smoke and flames were ejected from the densely packed gun ports at the same time.In one salvo, 50 cannons were fired simultaneously.The earth-shattering sound of cannon resounded through the sky.Shells rained down inside and outside of Sanchong City.The Shimadzu Army has never seen such a scene.I was completely at a loss for a while.

Naminoue Shrine on the coastline west of Miejo Castle is a traditional Ryukyu ancient shrine building.The guardian deity of the land is enshrined in the shrine.It is one of the most famous shrines in the area.Boshang Palace was built in the middle of the 15th century AD.It is one of the eight famous shrines in Ryukyu.Kumano Gongen is enshrined inside.It is built on a coral reef cliff overlooking the beautiful sea scenery.The red tile roof of the shrine is a typical Okinawa local style.This place has been prosperous since more than 100 years ago.The shrine that Okinawa pilgrims visit most every year in the first month of the year.There is also an endless stream of pilgrims from all over Ryukyu to pray for happiness and well-being.

The boat led by Deputy Commander Fan Tao successfully sent 1000 Chinese infantry soldiers to Naminoue Beach.The Shimadzu army did not fortify here.No one was sent to stop it.

turn out to be.More than 1800 soldiers from the Ijuin Kyumoto and Hirata Departments of the Shimadzu Army are moving towards the Shuri area.

Ijiin Hisamoto and others discovered a huge fleet stretching for more than ten miles outside the port.In addition, the Chinese army quickly wiped out their water army.Seized the roof beam seat Mori city.As a result, there was an illusion about the number of Chinese troops who came ashore.Moreover, the rain-like bombardment of the giant ship Feizi shocked them.

in tradition.The Shimadzu Army of the Satsuma Domain was a powerful army in the Sengoku period of Japan.Especially the infantry is very powerful.The problem is that the Shimadzu army has always been at a loss for fortresses guarded by heavy firearms.then.The Shimadzu Army fought for the hegemony of Kyushu Island.Surrounded Tanshengjima Castle, Otomo Sorin's residence in Bungo.Dayou Zonglin personally caged the city.At one time, the 2.8-meter-long, 9.7-centimeter-caliber Guobeng cannon (called Shihuoya at the time) purchased from Nanban was used to cause huge losses to the Shimadzu Army.The battle continued for three consecutive days.In the end, the Shimadzu side felt that it was too difficult to capture the city and retreated.And this Ryukyu battle.The Shimadzu Army never expected that there would be a written battle.He didn't bring any heavy firearms at all.Facing the Chinese with sharp firearms, there is nothing they can do.Due to repeated defeats.Morale has dropped to unprecedented levels.

Ijuin and others feel that they rely on the current morale of the Shimadzu Army.It is impossible to block the armed forces of the Chinese company in Naha Port.Ijuin Hisamoto, who was reluctant to continue fighting, decided to abandon Naha Port.Also gave up Miejo Castle and Naha Jiangbei Barracks.Retreat to Shuri and Huashan Jiugao to join forces.Then choose an opportunity to fight the Chinese.

Wanli 37 years.One day at the beginning of July in the 14th year of Keicho (1609) in Japan.The day the Chinese army arrived at Naha Port, they captured the forts on the north and south sides of the port.

evening.Yin Feng got off the Flying Tiger.Came to the Chinese business hall.

His army came just in time.The surplus food in the museum is only enough to last the whole museum for another ten days.

Yin Feng patted Chen Zhongji on the shoulder: "Not bad. Good job. You can stand alone."

Facing this captain who is also a brother and a teacher.Chen Zhongji didn't know what to say.She showed a rare smirk: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life. The captain... about the matter of the eldest lady. Please be sad and obedient..."

Yin Feng's face turned pale.Nodding with a wry smile: "I still have a lot to do. Revenge for her is the most important thing right now." He forced a smile and said: "Your wife gave birth to a big fat boy. You don't know it yet. Hehe .”

……

the next day.Yin Feng led the three giant ships of Feizihao.And twenty three-masted Fuchuan-type gunboats.Fifty two-masted Fuchuan-type warships.Sixty transport sailboats continued northward.Fan Tao led five three-masted ships and twenty two-masted warships from the second and third fleets to guard Naha port.at the same time.More than 50 Japanese pirate sailboats and ten other transport ships were captured to Miyakojima.Deliver follow-up reinforcements and supplies.

Chen Zhongji was formally appointed as the chief of all Chinese armies on Ryukyu Island.1000 infantry and 500 sailor musketeers landed ashore.As well as the 300 garrisons in the business hall are all under his command.Temporarily gave a troop designation: "Ryukyu Regiment".

Yin Feng took away the boy scouts under Yan Siqi's department and the soldiers of the special battalion of Colonel Luo Aquan and Colonel Kutley.There are more sinister battles waiting for them on the Kyushu Island of the Wa Kingdom.Chen Zhongji's task is to compress the area occupied by the Shimadzu Army on Ryukyu Island.That evening.Yin Feng also handed a secret letter to Chen Zhongji.Tell him to burn it after reading it.

Yin Feng's brigade was on its way north.By the way, it attacked the Shimadzu navy anchorage on the coast of Urasoe Castle.A torch also burned Huashan Jiugao's flagship.When Yin Feng went north to the vicinity of Nakiren Castle.All the Shimadzu military ships along the way have been sent to the bottom of the sea.

The Chinese company has undisputed command of the sea.The Japanese-style sailboats of the Shimadzu Army could not resist the Chinese-Western warships of the Chinese Company at all.The two are not rivals of the same magnitude at all.within five days.The Shimadzu Army Navy ships that went to Ryukyu lost a total of more than 300 ships.The navy has been wiped out.at the same time.Because the Chinese Army regained Kume Village.The Chinese expats in Kume Village stood up from their hiding places one after another.Take the initiative to help the Chinese Army's actions.With the help of these ground snakes.Fan Tao's department is also actively attacking.All the ships in Ryukyu were confiscated to Naha Port.

More than 2500 people from the Shimadzu Army's Kawayama Kudaka Division have become a lone army on the Ryukyu Islands.Completely lost contact with the headquarters of the Satsuma domain.Also can't get any supplies of personnel and materials.

……

After the port of Taiwan was attacked by Japanese pirates.But he recovered within a month.

Summer plowing and fishing seasons attract a large number of mainland people.A large number of merchant ships from Southeast Asian countries.Merchant ships from the Netherlands, Portugal, and the United Kingdom also came in an endless stream.Yin Feng issued a fortification order when he went north.It's not just the inner city - the inspector city has started repairing and rebuilding.Moreover, it is heightened and thickened on the basis of the original plan.Many forts and bunkers protruding from the city wall were designed.According to the principle of Western firearms defense, it is designed as a strong multi-angular fortress.

at the same time.The city wall outside Taiwan Harbor also began to be planned and built.The Dutch engineers invited from Batavia began to work with An Heping's engineering department personnel.Engage in the planning and design of the city wall in the surrounding areas.This will be China's first fortress city built according to the principles of Western firearms defense.Xu Guangqi's proposal to build a Western fortress in Northeast China was decades earlier than in the original historical time and space.

Yin Feng changed his original gentle attitude towards the indigenous people and internal affairs.Authorize Lin Xiao and Zeng Rui to make an example to others.All personnel from the company's security department and the Chinese military's military intelligence department are fully committed to the work of eliminating internal troubles.

Zeng Qi stayed in Hong Kong, Taiwan.Fully responsible for Taiwan's government affairs.Zeng Jingshan and the troops directly under the Zhao Xuanming Regiment of the Fourth Regiment of the Chinese Army went to Luzon.

When Yin Feng led his troops northward to Satsuma.Merchants from mainland provinces on the other side of Taiwan, Chinese maritime merchants from various parts of Southeast Asia and Western powers basically knew about Taiwan being attacked by the Japanese.

and represent the interests of the country and the royal family.And the Western armed merchant ships, which are fully supported by the state, are different.Chinese maritime merchants were neither part of the Ming and Qing government blocs.Nor is it a government partner.The Chinese emperor himself did not add money to the businessmen's overseas business ventures like the Western royal family did.therefore.In engaging in private trade at sea.China's maritime merchants not only had to compete with Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, British and other armed merchant ships backed by national armed forces.And they have to fight against the killing of them by their own country's army.

Beginning with the entry of the Portuguese into Asia.Chinese maritime merchants are in an antagonistic competitive relationship with Western merchants. 1510.The Portuguese relied on strong ships and guns to establish a stronghold in Malacca.Implement a military trade monopoly.As a result, Chinese businessmen had to withdraw from trade in northern Sumatra. 1557.When Wang Zhi, a Chinese maritime merchant who controlled the trade between China and Japan, was trapped by the Ming government.The Portuguese in Macau immediately took advantage of the situation.Trade controls between China and Japan followed.And this control continued until the end of the 16th century.In competition with Western armed merchant ships backed by national power.Because Chinese maritime merchants basically deal with the country as individuals or groups.So many times they are in a disadvantaged position of being squeezed out and killed.However.The Chinese company was born out of thin air.Concentrate the power of maritime merchants on the southeast coast.And combined and absorbed part of the financial resources of the major domestic business gangs.Organized the maritime merchants' own armed forces.For the first time overseas, the Chinese were able to use organized forces to fight against Western powers and various indigenous states.

therefore.Although many scattered Chinese businessmen still have the performance of gloating.But the merchant ships and business names that belong to the Chinese company system.And the merchant ship shareholders who received the flag of the Chinese company.The more consistent performance is the same hatred.Chinese businessmen who have broken away from the local traditional cultural atmosphere use Chinese companies as their link.I have realized how powerful I am organized.And what a benefit it can be.Therefore, they all donated money and materials to various Chinese business houses.In this way, we express our support for the company and Yin Feng.
