The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 429 "Fishing Law Enforcement"

The most luxurious post house in Naha has been taken over by a wealthy businessman of Ming Dynasty.

"General," a commander of the navy infantry saluted Shi Lang, "200 people have already entered this post, and there are more than [-] people at the port. They can come here within a cup of tea."

"No one saw it?"

"Back to the general, I ordered them all to pretend to be laborers moving goods. Four people come in and three people go out, so they won't be discovered."

"Okay, the sky is still bright at the moment, let everyone rest first."

"Yes!" The officer responded, then hesitated, "General, what if the Japanese are not fooled?"

Shi Lang was about to say that he had planned a lot of ways to anger Kawakami later, when a guard reported, "General, that Naha official is asking to see you."

"Oh? I still want to find him later. Let him in quickly."

"Yes!"

Weng Dingdong entered Shi Lang's room, first bowed habitually, then suddenly realized something was wrong, and changed to salute, "Master Zhang, why are you still in Naha? If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Shi Lang smiled slightly, "Why should I leave?"

"Then Chuan Shang is threatened by you, and he will definitely kill you!" Weng Dingdong said anxiously, "I arranged for someone to take you out of the port, and you let your boat meet at the west of Naha."

Shi Langqi said: "Why did you help me?"

"I can see that shopkeeper Zhang is a courageous person, and he has a lot of contacts in the Ming court." Naha official said, "Ryukyu is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and his friends are respectful. Now Japanese slaves..."

When he said these two words, he looked around subconsciously, and when he saw that there was nothing outside, he continued: "The Japanese slaves invaded my land and forced me to cede the ghost world, Dashima, Tokushima, Yongqi Island, And Lun Wudao forced our people to pay a heavy head tax, and stood in Fan to enforce it, even the three adults of the Judiciary had to be nominated by Japanese slaves to take up their posts! It’s really deceiving me too much!"

The "Jurisdiction" is the highest governing body in Ryukyu, and its power is greater than that of Ming's cabinet. However, since the fourth year of Chongzhen, the officials of the Judiciary have been appointed by the Japanese.

Weng Dingdong pointed out the window with righteous indignation, "Now the people of Ryukyu are in dire straits, and have been beaten to the bone by Japanese slaves. Everyone on the island is eagerly looking forward to the help of the heavenly kingdom to save our people from the fire and water!"

He didn't wait for Shi Lang to say anything, and immediately continued: "I know shopkeeper Zhang is a businessman. Based on your conditions, it is impossible for Wu Nu to agree. But if you can return to Ming Dynasty immediately, and report the evil deeds of Wo Nu in Ryukyu Son of Heaven, I will write a letter to my son, that in the future when your ship docks in Naha, someone will deliver water and food, and you will not take any money. In addition, all kinds of products on the island will be given to you at the base price. In this way, a boat can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.

"I hope shopkeeper Zhang will uphold the righteousness and save my people!"

But Shi Lang said noncommittally: "Master Weng, can you do me a favor?"

"Please say."

"Try to contact Ryukyu officials. The higher the position, the better. Once there is something wrong with this post, you will bring everyone here."

Weng Dingdong waved his hands when he heard the words, "I'm afraid shopkeeper Zhang has miscalculated. The Japanese slaves are cruel and don't pay attention to us at all. Not to mention officials, even if the sons are here, they will never blink even if they should kill people. You It’s better to leave quickly.”

Shi Lang thought for a while, and then said: "Well, go and help me contact the Ryukyu officials, and try not to have anything to do with the Japanese slaves. In these two days, if there is any change in the post house, you will let them come. And I promise to let them come. What do you think of the situation in Ryukyu learned by Chaotang?"

He said in his heart that His Royal Highness the Assistant Government had already known about this matter in Ryukyu, and he was more than just trying to drive the Japanese pirates out of Ryukyu.

Weng Dingdong opened his mouth and asked suspiciously: "If you were killed by Japanese slaves, how would you spread the news?"

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't die so easily."

The official Naba carefully looked at his expression, he didn't seem to be talking nonsense, he finally nodded and said: "Okay, it's a deal!"

……

On the radio signal, the sailor dressed as an ordinary sea merchant saluted Liu Guoxuan, "General, the Ryukyu Guanbo Ermu officer came and said that they want to repair the pier and let us dock half a mile to the west."

"Oh?" Liu Guoxuan raised his eyes and looked west, and saw a Japanese-style low city on the high ground outside the port, and the reflection of the cannons above it could be vaguely seen.

Then he thought of the "touching porcelain" Japanese pirates arranged by the admiral, and couldn't help but smile knowingly, "It seems that Zunhou probably succeeded. These Japanese slaves are ruthless, not only wanting people to die, but even boats."

He reached for the binoculars and looked towards the west side of the fort, but couldn't help laughing out loud, "The Japanese slave wants to beat me with this cannon?"

I saw four bronze cannons on the fort, pointing in four directions.The caliber never exceeds six pounds, and the barrel is extremely short. It is obvious that the cannon-casting craftsmen do not have enough confidence in their skills. If the barrel is longer, the pressure in the chamber is too high and the chamber will explode.However, with such a short gun body, its range and power naturally don't have to be expected too much.

Since the Warring States period, Japan has attached great importance to matchlock guns, but does not like cannons that are difficult to carry and require a lot of logistical assistance.Therefore, during the war of aggression against Korea, they were beaten to pieces by the cannons of the Ming army.It was also from then on that they began to step up casting cannons, but the craftsmanship was far behind.

Liu Guoxuan estimated that the cannons on the fort should not pose a threat to the seven-inch-thick hull of the Canton Signal, so he ordered the fire chief to say: "Just follow what they said, half a mile to the west. Since the Japanese slaves have given a big gift, why don't we ?”

He turned to the adjutant again and said, "Head the order, the sailors on the ship are on duty and ready for battle at any time."

"Yes!"

……

It was night, and Kawakami Youbingwei brought more than a hundred Japanese soldiers with a flag with a black plus sign inside a black circle on their backs, holding only three or four torches along the way, and quietly and quickly touched the posthouse where "Zhang Ji's shopkeeper" lived. .

It wasn't that Kawakami didn't want to bring more troops, the Japanese had few soldiers, Shimadzu had only [-] troops stationed in Ryukyu, and Naha had [-] troops, nearly half of them were still in Naha city.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu confiscated the armor and weapons of his army because he was worried about Ryukyu's resistance, leaving only a single sword for each person, and his combat effectiveness was completely hopeless.

In addition, he thought that he was only dealing with a merchant, so there should be more than a hundred of them.

When he got outside the post house, he first assigned twenty people to guard the front and back doors, then he kicked open the door, leading the Japanese soldiers to swarm in, shouting: "Everyone in the house will be killed!"

During these eighty days, he rushed to the front yard of the post house lightly, and suddenly heard the sound of drums all around, and then hundreds of torches were lit at the same time, illuminating the post house as bright as day.

Then someone shouted loudly: "Aim!"

Immediately, there was a huge shout echoing from all around, "Aim!"

Kawakami Youbingwei was startled, and looked up, but saw three rows of black muzzles pointing directly at him under the firelight, there were more than 200 guns, and there was a dagger on the barrel, reflecting the dazzling light.

He subconsciously swallowed and said in a trembling voice, "You, what are you going to do..."
