After all, Ryukyu is not an ancient civilization. Before the Ming Dynasty, it was just a large island in the East China Sea where the primitive tribal system was not formed even in the country. Therefore, some ancient place names of the Ryukyu Kingdom were very simple and unpretentious.

For example, Beishan, Zhongshan, and Nanshan mean that there are three mountains from south to north on the Ryukyu island, and there is a large tribe entrenched on each mountain. At that time, the three mountains of Ryukyu were coherent in ancient times, and the three large tribes were three countries.

Zhongshan Kingdom, Nanshan Kingdom, and Beishan Kingdom. Among them, Zhongshan Kingdom, which is the location of Shuri Castle, was the first to establish friendly relations with the Ming Dynasty. It was also with the support of the Ming Dynasty that Zhongshan Kingdom unified the Ryukyu island and finally established the Ancient Ryukyu Kingdom.

In the eyes of the Ryukyu natives, the unification of the three mountains was an extraordinary event, but in the Ming Dynasty at that time, it was the story of three villages fighting and finally merged into a big village. To put it bluntly, it was a bit sorry for the seventh-rank sesame official who sent a county magistrate to intervene.

The history of the Three Mountain Kingdom has ended, but the ancient place names have been preserved, and Nanshan and Beishan have become important strategic highlands to protect Shuri Castle.

The battle on the Beishan defense line is heroic, and Nanshan is not a stagnant pool. On the cement Yonggu Observation Post on the top of the mountain, three scarlet-eyed sentries stared at the French warships on the sea all day long.

The fortifications around him had already been blown into ruins. A fortress was originally intended to be built here, but before it was officially completed, it was bombarded by French warships, leaving only a mess.

"Mr. Matthew, please have a drink of water..." A soldier brought the clean water from a bamboo tube and sent it over. The tall man who took the bamboo tube carefully saw that it was a big nose foreigner.

This foreigner is an old friend of the monarch and minister of Ryukyu. He is the military observer sent by US President Mr. Lincoln. Matthew, also this American military officer named Matthew, recompiled the diaries of his travels to China after he was old and published a strange book called "Matthew's Diary".

The book records in detail everything he experienced in East Asia, and from the perspective of a bystander, it records the entire rise of the nation of East Asia.

Here are accurate numbers, detailed texts, rich photos, and even interviews with civil servants and military generals that people in later generations could only look up to. Of course, at that time, these dazzling political and military veterans were just a group of ignorant young people.

A diary of Matthew became a must-read material for scholars to study Xiao Letian and study the history of the rise of East Asia.

Now, Matthew has not left the Nanshan Observation Post since the French warship appeared in Naha Bay. The view here is high and has a wide view. Not only can you look at Shuri Castle on the opposite side of Zhongshan, but you can also overlook the entire layered urban area under your feet, and you can also enjoy the vast Naha Bay.

Except for the battle situation in Beishan Kingdom, he could not see the rest of the battle, and all the remaining battles could not escape his eyes and the camera in his hand.

The moment the French fought undeclaredly and fired at the civilians, Matthew was completely angry. Americans who had experienced a century of western development had a cowboy spirit from the bottom of their bones, and their worship of personal heroism reached an extreme. They already had a heroic sentiment unique to Europeans.

In Matthew's thinking, war cannot be completely harmed by civilians, but it cannot be done like Molière, and it starts bombing without even declaring war. In order to increase the intensity of lethality, all the shells were thrown into residential areas, and it was a fucking flowering bullet.

It is unbearable. Ma Xiu really wanted to rush forward and fight with the French, but he was a military officer appointed by the president after all. If he joined this war, it would definitely cause diplomatic disputes.

After thinking about it, Matthew decided to record all this with his most cherished camera. After the war is over, he must make all this public and let the whole world condemn this atrocity.

Burning slums, collapsed commercial streets, harbors filled with corpses, a weeping refugee camp, a brightly lit medical station... Of course, there are also new soldiers who charge and student soldiers who give passionate speeches.

Among the countless photos, of course, the most are still photos that overlook the entire battlefield from the top of the South Mountain. Standing here always gives Matthew a feeling of being God. Only by looking down from such an angle can you truly feel the grandeur of war.

"Sir... look at the bay opposite..." A scream brought Matthew's thoughts back to reality. He turned his head to look south and saw the exaggerated white flag. The big Xiao character could see clearly from a distance.

"God bless me, what is this... Are reinforcements from Ryukyu? Take a camera..." A soldier carried a tripod to Matthew, while another soldier took off the conch, puffed up his cheeks and started whining.

No one knows what the ship is, but as long as he hangs the flag with the word "Xiao" and recognizes the flag, he must be a friend but not an enemy.

The conch horn alarmed other observation posts. More than ten hidden observation points in the entire Nanshan Mountain found abnormalities on the sea surface, and then the sound of the conch horn was connected into pieces.

Then the hidden observation posts in Qixing Mountain, Zhongshan, and Shuri Castle also discovered abnormalities, and the sound of horns in the entire bay continued.

What a shocking scene this is. Even the French Major General General Bruce was stunned. Under the gaze of a row of warships, people watched a Chinese sailboat squeeze through the middle of the two frigates. The sound of the harsh wood breaking was even heard by Bruce.

Three Chinese pirate ships, two of them chose to die with the French warships. Now the two frigates shouted like thunder, and the fish that escaped the net was not much better. When he squeezed into Naha Bay, both sides of the hull had been completely cut open.

The French soldiers were stunned. There was nothing above the side waterline of the Chinese pirate ship, just like a model anatomical diagram placed in the Naval Academy. People can see the internal structure of the entire pirate ship.

The sailors carrying gunpowder in the gunpowder cabin, the chef with bone-cutting knives and claws, and the wounded soldiers resting in the single cabin... Almost all the pirates were angrily scolding at the French army. Seeing their resentful aura, they seemed to be unaware of the reality that the ship was about to sink.

This pirate ship is destined to sink. People have clearly seen the sea water slamming on both sides of the ship's side and pouring it in. According to this momentum, the ship will not be able to be saved in more than ten minutes.

Just when all the French soldiers were stunned, Bruce suddenly yelled, "No, this ship was killed by itself, they came to report the news... firing the cannon and sank him."

A word awakens the dreamer, and then people raise their attention from the side of the ship to the mast. The scary flag with the big and scary character "Zi" comes into people's eyes.

"Damn... This ship is conveying messages to the Ryukyu people, so they can't let them succeed..." There was a rumbling sound of cannons on the sea surface, and water splashed around the golden-eyed bream.

"Accelerate, accelerate, it's almost... Bypassing the reef in front, Naba City can see us... Turn the rudder..."

Boom boom boom, the water splashes from the shells rushed to a height of more than ten meters, and then poured down like heavy rain. The broken cables were whipped in the air, dancing tentacles like the legendary deep-sea octopus.

Pirates fell into the sea from time to time on the mast, and flew away and harvested their lives. Even the golden-eyed bream was hit by a piece of rib.

"Fuck, this mosquito bites people very painful..." The golden-eyed bream was fierce enough. He took out a dagger and gritted his teeth and actually dug out the shrapnel. Then he tore a long gown and bandaged it randomly and thought it was fine.

"It's right in front of me. I've seen Shuri Castle... I've seen it before, I've seen it..." The pirate ship sailing in the artillery fire finally saw hope. The lookout hand at the highest point finally saw the outline of Shuri Castle. Nanshan, which blocked his sight, finally bypassed.

"Bless the Dragon Prince... brothers, abandon the ship..." The golden-eyed bream snatched the conch horn next to him and started blowing with a rhythm.

The pirates fighting on the sea did not dare to neglect when they heard the retreat signal. They flipped over the side of the ship and jumped into the sea, and then splashed upstream to the shore.

"Get rid of the boat... Let's go to the island to drink... Finally, I won my life by betting..." The sea was full of scattered figures.

The sailors on the Sea God and the Rafale were stunned. They were still killing them just now. Why did the pirates retreat in a blink of an eye? They rubbed their eyes and looked at the corpses on the deck, and they felt that this was not a dream.

"Cleaning up the water in the cabin... Repair the battleship immediately... Sailing drivers are ready to replace the sails... Speak to the Glory. Our ship is seriously injured and must withdraw from the battle..."

After sending the signal, the two warships began to adjust their postures and were about to throw away the two pirate ships that pierced into the hull, but they never expected that the two destined grievances could never be removed.

The two pirate ships have a disabled elderly pirate in the deep bottom cabin. The torture of their long-term sea life has made them sick. Thanks to the golden-eyed bream, who is still quite conscientious, has been raising them for nothing.

"Now is the time to repay your kindness. The day of licking blood from the knife is over today..." They held the incense thicker than their arms in their hands, and blew a breath and the incense head became extremely bright.

In front of them were buckets of gunpowder, several of which had been broken, and black particles of gunpowder were sprinkled everywhere.

Boom boom boom... Two mushroom clouds rose asymptomatically on the sea surface, and the muffled thunder shook the entire island. The Sea God and the Gun were bombed more than three meters high like toys in front of such violent power, and then they were smashed back to the sea surface. Tons of sea water poured in, and flames and thick smoke rushed into the sky.

"Prime Minister Xiao... I, the Golden Eyes Bream, came to deliver a letter to you... Don't forget my credit."
