Chapter 209 Fighting Satsuma

It is a trading port city in Pattani, Malacca, Johor, Siam, Cambodia, Annan and other places.Generally, Chinatown and Nihoncho exist side by side at the same time.After the attack on Taiwan spread.Fights between Chinese and Japanese nationals took place in these immigration areas.Officials from Siam, Annan and other countries suddenly found out.The Chinese who used to be content with themselves and swallowed their anger have all changed their nature.Become aggressive and savage.Finding fault everywhere and clashing with Japanese expatriates in Nihoncho.Especially the Japanese troops and Chinese troops in the Siamese King's Home Guard.There were even conflicts in the barracks.The conflict between the Chinese and the Japanese in An Nanguo reached the point where firearms were used.As a result, King Annan had to send troops to suppress it.Generally speaking.Under the overall arrangement and command of the Chinese company.The Chinese have more victories in conflicts throughout Southeast Asia.

Aceh, Batavia and other Dutch cities where Chinese companies and Huatian companies compete fiercely.and Semarang and other places.Huatian Company is ruthless.Contact Nihoncho and Chinese companies to fight against.Caused a lot of bloodshed.As a result, the Dutch and the local indigenous kingdoms had to come forward to maintain law and order.

And the coastal areas of East and West Borneo (Kalimantan) under the control of the Chinese company.There are not many Japanese towns.The population is also small.Therefore, in the ensuing fierce conflict between Chinese and Japanese businessmen and people.These Japanese towns were basically burned and killed by the self-defense militia of the Chinese company with the background of the escort.In Nihoncho, Manila, the tutelary palace of Luzon.The surviving Japanese immigrants were protected from the massacre only by the protection of the Chinese army troops sent by Zeng Jingshan.

Generally speaking.The Japanese have a very bad reputation in Southeast Asia and Nanyang in the age of great voyages.There are often Japanese pirates who suddenly go crazy and do some cruel actions.The King of Siam once said publicly: those Japanese who do not abide by the law are not welcome.in comparison.Chinese businessmen and immigrants have a much better reputation in their host countries.therefore.In the Sino-Japanese conflict in some places.Most of the local aborigines helped the Chinese pull the sidelines.There are also those who fight Taiping boxing.

Those Western powers who were gloating at others' misfortune initially had the mood of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.But as more details of the Taiwan attack were released.They found that many merchants, sailors, and expatriates in their country were killed at the hands of the Japanese.Each country's own businessmen began to clamor internally for revenge.The colonial governments of the Netherlands, Portugal, and the United Kingdom could not sit still.We had to send people to Taiwan.I am going to go north to Japan with the Chinese company.File a complaint with the Tokugawa shogunate.

In the second batch of northbound fleet organized by Li Lihua and Lu Shitou.There is a Portuguese merchant ship.Two Dutch armed merchant ships.The Western merchants on these three ships went to Hirado and Nagasaki to sue together with Xu Xinsu, the representative of the Chinese company.

Zeng Qi received them.And issued an order of Yin Feng: All foreigners will come to Taiwan in the future.Still free to go ashore and live; however.Except for the Japanese.Japanese must go through inspection and registration before they can get permission to go ashore.The license time is 5 days.The extension must be re-registered; and during the 5 days, you must live in the designated inn at the port; Nihoncho is abolished.Taiwan and Hong Kong no longer accept long-term immigrants from Japan for the time being.

Zeng Qi's most troublesome thing now is the replacement of the governor of Fujian.Fujian governor Chen Xingxue was recommended by the guarding eunuch Gao Cai.Since I've only been in office for a year.Together with Gao Cai, they made the whole province of Fujian angry.Not only the anti-tax supervision riots of the people in the coastal port cities continued.There was also an uprising of the White Lotus Sect in the mountainous area of ​​western Fujian.As a result, the gentry and bureaucrats in Fujian Province played a series of articles on the imperial court.They can't cheer up.But Chen Xingxue was removed from office.Nanjing Yushidao's memorial sent him back to his hometown in Zhuji, Zhejiang to lose his job for the people.

The newly appointed governor of Fujian is Chen Zizhen from Nanchang, Jiangxi.Wanli Gengchen Jinshi.The new governor is now more than a month old.The new official took office with three fires.In the name of inspecting the scene where Taiwan was attacked by Japanese pirates, the deputy envoy of Xingquan Bingbei Dao was sent to Taiwan.

No one could tell what the governor was up to.Xingquan Bingbei Road nominally has the right to supervise the border military affairs of the Taiwan Inspection Department, which belongs to Quanzhou Prefecture.If the new governor Chen Zizhen wants to take advantage of Yin Feng's main force to go north, he will have Taiwan's idea.Then Taiwan and Hong Kong must immediately enter a state of alert.

After the meeting of the board of directors.Li Lihua and Lu Shitou.The father and son of the Han family have already believed that it is necessary to prevent problems before they happen.then.Mai De, the deputy commander of the Chinese Army who stayed in Taiwan, issued a second-level alert order.

The Li Xing Department of the third regiment was fully stationed in Taiwan and Hong Kong.Stationed in urban areas, port terminals and Anping Port on the South Bank and other areas.The newly built Flying Eagle has returned to Taiwan Port.Take on patrol duties.Originally built in Cavite, Manila, the Flying Wolf was planned to become the first giant ship of the Chinese Army to carry more than 100 guns.However, the original keel of the Flying Wolf had already been laid.The skeleton constructed for the original carrack type galleon cannot be converted into a galleon type.Chinese and foreign shipbuilders have gone through a lot of trouble.Forced to abandon the Hundred Cannon Project.

And the "Flying Eagle" built by Taiwan's Hong Kong Shipyard itself.Therefore, it became the first giant ship of the Chinese Navy to carry more than 100 cannons.Originally, the "Flying Eagle" was designed with 60 cannons.It was expanded to accommodate 100 cannons during the final construction phase.Zeng Qi saw this giant ship like a moving sea city at the launching ceremony of the Flying Eagle.therefore.It was he who suggested to Yin Feng to keep this huge ship to defend Taiwan port.

And Yin Feng at this moment.Looking at the Kaimundake Volcano from the sea off Nagasakibana, the southernmost tip of the Satsuma Peninsula.

His ship Feihu led the contingent of ten large three-masted blessing ships.Thirty brigantines.After leaving the coast of Urasoe Castle, Ryukyu.No more entanglement with those sporadic Shimadzu troops.Go north with a strong southeasterly wind.Get rid of Tokunoshima and Amami Oshima.Came directly to the entrance of Kagoshima Bay.The southernmost tip of the Satsuma Peninsula.

After the two giant ships of the second echelon cleaned up all the ships along the coast of Nakijin Castle.Directed by Mai Dahai.Leading the brigade is expected to arrive at the entrance of Kagoshima Bay in a day.

It's a hot morning.A weak northeasterly wind blows over the sea.It is very unfavorable for the actions of Yin Feng's fleet.

Kaiwen Mountain is 922 meters above sea level.Also known in Japan by the mountain name of Satsuma Fuji.It is a symbol of the southern tip of the Satsuma Peninsula.Kaiwenyue is located in the southwest corner of Satsuma Peninsula.Because there are no other mountains around.So no matter where you look from.All can see its independent majesty.It is said to be on the top of the mountain.To the east, you can see Cape Sata.If it is sunny.You can also see Tanegashima, Yakushima and the smoky Iwo Jima.

Tanegashima was the southern outpost of the Shimadzu Army.

Tanegashima is guarded by Nagahiro Tanegashima, the acting chief minister of the Shimadzu family tree.He and Shimadzu Tadahiro, the head of the Shimadzu family.The same is true of Shimadzu Yoshihiro, who is now retired as the former patriarch.I never dreamed that there would be enemies coming from the South Sea.The nightmare of the Mongolian army in the Yuan Dynasty is a legend hundreds of years ago.All the samurai from the Shimadzu family were in the overall planning of the Ryukyu battle.No one ever thought that the enemy would counterattack the Satsuma domain from the southern sea.

Three nights ago.Yin Feng's army was led by several Chinese businessmen who were familiar with sea routes and Lu Ruohan, a Portuguese missionary.Tanegashima was raided.Annihilated hundreds of samurai on Tanegashima in one fell swoop.The island owner Tanegashima Nagahiro woke up from his sleep.Haven't figured out where and who the enemy came from.Li Kuiqi's cannon had destroyed the gate of his residence.He had to set fire to himself in the backyard.

When the Flying Tiger arrived at the southernmost tip of the Satsuma Peninsula off Nagasaki Nagasaki.No one in the Satsuma domain knew that the Chinese had already killed their doorstep.

Yin Feng saw that the wind was weak.The speed of the fleet cannot be increased.He ordered twenty bird boat warships still equipped with oars to attack first.Bypass Nagasaki Nagasaki and go straight to Yamakawa Port in the northeast direction.Shanchuan Port is the foreign trade port of Satsuma Domain.It is also the main base of the Satsuma Tsu family navy.Just over three months ago.On March 37 in the 1609th year of Wanli (14 A.D. 24th year of Keicho in Japan), the main force of the Shimadzu Army's expedition to Ryukyu started from Shanchuan Port.

Outside Yamakawa Port is the sea at the southern end of Kagoshima Bay.Yin Feng's order was given in time.Masashi Yamada, the "daikan" of Satsuma local civil affairs official in Southern Kyushu.Completely by chance.Just wandering around Nagasaki Nagasaki.Just this morning, an unidentified large fleet in the South China Sea was discovered.

He has only one entourage.He ran desperately in the direction of Shanchuan Port.But the mountain road is rugged.When he came to Shanchuan Port.Just in time to see the flames and gunpowder rising from the direction of the port.

The ships of the Shimadzu Army and Navy who were caught off guard were all moored in Shanchuan Port.Except for the ships that went to Ryukyu.All the remaining ships of the Shimadzu Army Navy are here.

This batch of bird boats was used as fire boats.They quickly formed a moving wall of fire in Shanchuan Port.Straight into the Shimadzu army water army.

Just one morning.The remaining more than 60 warships of the Shimadzu Army Navy were all destroyed.Shanchuan Port was occupied by sudden raiders.

Chiran town in the northwest of Ibusuki near Yamakawa Port.It is the residence of the Shimadzu family samurai.Yamada Masaru witnessed the destruction of Yamakawa Port.I arrived in Chiran-cho in a hurry.More than 300 Shimadzu family samurai were summoned.Before sunset in the afternoon, a counterattack was launched against the residence of the Yamakawa Port.

The Satsuma people were called Satsuma Hayato by the Japanese during the Sengoku period.The British called them the "Spartans of Japan".Because Samoans are brave.Aggressive.Be disciplined.They respect the strong.Advocate force.As cowardly.timid.Guess the disease is feces.

However, on the contrary, they are also easily excitable and too reckless.Yamada Masa did not scout out the enemy's situation in advance.Recklessly, he took 300 samurai to attack Shanchuan Port. "This must be the pirates of Ryukyu. Or the work of ronin. Let's rush over and deal with them." Yamada Masaaki waved his long sword first.Rush along the road to the port.These Shimadzu family samurai are mainly veterans who once directly belonged to Shimadzu Yoshihiro.There is no room for any opponent in the eyes.Without hesitation, he followed Yamada Masaru and rushed over.

And this time.Yin Feng's main force is entering Shanchuan Port one after another under the leadership of Mai Dahai.2000 Cyclonus soldiers and 500 native auxiliary troops have already landed.Yan Siqi's boy scouts are in the process of landing.

300 Shimadzu family samurai wield Japanese swords at this time.It broke into a total of 80 cannons from the three giant ships of the Feizi in the port.And a tight firepower network composed of 2000 Chinese fuzzy musketeers.
