671 A Surprise

A small number of Japanese warships fought to the death, either firing fire to fight back or firing fire, but did not surrender.

For these warships or transport ships, the Ming Dynasty warships stopped far away, and directly fired guns to sink them, and then caught people after falling into the sea. At this time, those who did not want to surrender, they directly asked them to feed the sharks in the sea.

However, most Japanese warships or transport ships chose to surrender after seeing the situation was over, and these were captured by people and ships.

I was busy until dark before the war was basically over. To be precise, more time was actually spent chasing and killing the fleeing Japanese ships.

There is no counting whether there are Japanese ships that will eventually escape. Because at the end, Japanese ships fled from all directions. And because there are Japanese ships that have sunk, they cannot count from the number.

However, escaping to Japan is the focus of the pursuit. At least in this direction, Gu Sanmazi and Zheng Hongkui promised that no Japanese ship would run away.

According to the final statistics, a total of about 15,000 Japanese pirates were captured, and 36 warships were intact, which were damaged, but were eventually dragged to Naha Port. Most of the transport ships were intact, with more than 300.

On the Ming army, there were six warships damaged, none of which sank. More than twenty soldiers were killed in battle, more than thirty injured, and a total of about fifty casualties.

Seeing the dejected teams of Japanese pirates being taken to the captive camp by tall and powerful Ming soldiers, the Ryukyu people had seen this scene and all cheered.

Not to mention those Ryukyu people who had prepared packages to escape, even the Ryukyu people in Shuri City, they all heard the news and ran outside the city to watch the fun.

For a moment, all the Ryukyu people met the power of the Daming Heavenly Soldier again.

"My mother, it turns out that the heavenly soldiers and generals are so powerful!"

"Yes, I always think these Japanese people are very powerful. They are probably the most powerful army in the world. Unexpectedly, when they encounter heavenly soldiers and generals, they become a piece of shit!"

"Hahaha, how could you say the heavenly soldiers and generals? Actually, I'll tell you that when the heavenly soldiers and generals come to our Ryukyu Kingdom, I can see their power!"

"You brag, then I'll see you taking your wife and children to escape from the mountains!"

"What do you know? My family is just thinking about going camping in the mountains for a few days and taking a vacation!"

"Now, our Ryukyu Kingdom no longer has to worry about the disaster of the Japanese pirates!"

“…”

In the Ryukyu Kingdom, the Japanese pirates thought they were superior and walked sideways and bullied the Ryukyu people a lot. However, the Ming army had strict military discipline, and basically the Ming army soldiers could not go out to the streets. Although they were asked to provide food for Ryukyu, they were clearly different from the Japanese pirates in terms of disturbing the people. This also made ordinary Ryukyu people very welcome the Ming army soldiers.

In addition, although the Ryukyu people borne the food and grass of the Ming army soldiers, they have been told that after the Ming army ensured the safety of Ryukyu, the Ming merchants would come to Ryukyu to trade, which will bring you wealth and the food and grass that can offset their burden. Therefore, it can be said that as long as they are Ryukyu people, there is no one who does not welcome the Ming army.

If there is no one who is a little exception, this person is King Shangzhen.

When the Japanese pirates were about to come, he was still eating, drinking and having fun, watching the palace maids dance. However, when he heard that the army had won a great victory and killed the Japanese pirates, he lost the mood to eat, drinking and having fun, and made the palace maids get out of their way and feel bad.

This cannot be blamed for him, because for him, as long as the Ming army stationed in Ryukyu for one day, his power would be undermined by Zheng Xiangming. And it can be foreseeable that as the Ming merchants came to Ryukyu trade, the Ryukyu people were driven to live a good life together, more people would stand on Zheng Xiangming's side, and it was unlikely that Shang Zhen would really take power.

Of course he was not happy with this situation. However, who asked them to attack Kumimura before, even if they blamed Shang Sheng, he still had to bear the consequences caused by this.

If there were no previous events, maybe this would not be the case!

What Shang Zhen didn't know was that with the Ming army's great victory, more Ryukyu people turned to Zheng Xiangming. After Zheng Xiangming heard about his reaction, he calmed down and contacted Shang Zhen's previous and subsequent reactions. His suspicion became even greater, so he secretly launched an investigation against him.

……………………

The Ming army was not idle. After capturing Japanese pirates, they immediately began a large-scale interrogation. The scale of this interrogation can tell the number of Japanese-speaking people.

As for the content of the interrogation, it is naturally the real and false of the Satsuma vassal. Then, all the confessions were summarized and checked, and the final situation was gathered on Li Dingguo's desk.

Just the second day after the Naha Naha Naga, Li Dingguo sent someone to send Zheng Xiangming and ordered him: "I will set out tomorrow to attack the Satsuma family. You should also organize an army to follow you. But it is not for war, but to be familiar with Japanese language, able to convey orders to the Japanese, and assist our Ming army in guarding the Satsuma family!"

When Zheng Xiangming heard this, he was shocked. He never expected that the Ming army would go to fight the Satsuma family!

If it were before, he would definitely advise him to fight the Satsuma family, wouldn’t he go to die?

However, at this time, because of the encouragement of yesterday's great victory, he did not advise him at the first time. Instead, he hesitated for a moment and reminded Li Dingguodao: "Sir, if you attack the Satsuma clan, you may be enemies with the entire Japan. That's not just one Satsuma clan. Are you sure?"

After hearing this, Li Dingguo laughed and said, "I have sent the Clippers back to the Ming Dynasty to report to the emperor about the victory here, indicating that he has launched an attack on the Satsuma clan. According to the plan, reinforcements will arrive in the future!"

Speaking of this, he paused, changed his tone and said confidently: "This time, it should be time to settle accounts with Japan, so that these little dwarfs will know that if they have offended the Ming Dynasty and dare to touch the tiger's butt, they will have to pay!"

To be honest, Zheng Xiangming was actually worried before, just because he was afraid that after the news of the defeat of the Satsuma clan reached Edo, the Japanese Tokugawa Iemitsu would send troops to attack the Ming army in Ryukyu in furious.

That is the power of the whole country, not comparable to that of a Satsuma vassal. If he could not defeat the Japanese army, the result would still be unbearable.

However, now he knew that the Celestial Empire had already considered it. Not only did he take the initiative to attack the Satsuma clan, he would also send troops in the future. So why are you afraid of Japan?

At this time, Zheng Xiangming was relieved of one hundred and twenty hearts and immediately did his best to implement Li Dingguo's orders.

The next day, the Ming army set out. Of course, this time it included the army. And there were a thousand people guarding him at Naba Port.

At this time, it was too cold in North Korea and it was impossible to dig. The prisoners stayed in Ryukyu first and saw them expand Naha Port first.

As for the food and supplies for the Satsuma army to fight against the Satsuma family, they were seized from the Satsuma family expeditionary army the day before yesterday, and Zheng Xiangming did not need to prepare.

…………

Kagoshima, where the Satsuma family is located, Daimyo Mansion, Shimazu Kokuha has been worried after he set out from the army. After all, the opponent is Ming Kingdom rather than Ryukyu, which is a giant.

But then again, it would be too worried. If he didn't win, he wouldn't agree with Shimazu Kuto's proposal and go to war in an unofficial name.

What he was worried about was how much the loss would be, what would the war end up like, and whether it would be better to explain to the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo...

With such worries, good news finally came this day.

"What?" Shimazu Kokusa was overjoyed when he heard the Clippers' report. He stood up and confirmed, "The Ming army fled to the sight of the wind, and he didn't even dare to fight?"

"Return to the Lord, that's true. The Ming army fled in sight!" The messenger replied with a smile, and at the same time presented the good news from Shimazu Kuto.

When Shimazu Kokusaki saw him, he came forward to get the victory and started reading it.

"Hahaha..." After reading it, he couldn't help laughing happily.

Judging from this good news, the Ming army is now becoming more and more ruinous than the Ming army on the Korean battlefield before. The Ming Kingdom, which is rich and wealthy, is actually just a paper tiger.

No wonder, it turns out that the country is in chaos now. If the Ming army is still elite, how could it be in chaos!

"Okay, okay, okay!" Shimazu Kokusa was in a very good mood. It was a great thing for the Ming army to be so careless!

If the Tokugawa shogunate blames the blame, there will be another reason. Maybe this will be used to motivate the Tokugawa shogunate to launch a war against North Korea.

It seems that it is not good. Now it seems that the Ming rebels have occupied the North Korea. It is not cost-effective to attack from there. It is better to use Ryukyu as a springboard to attack the Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty. That is a place of wealth!

Shimazu Kokusaki thought happily, very excited.

His idea was not groundless. In the original history, when the Tokugawa shogunate heard that the country was in chaos and might even destroy the country, he discussed the possibility of sending troops to Ming Dynasty. Although it did not happen in the end, it was indeed aroused.

For Shimazu Kokuha, the next time was quite pleasant. While waiting for the final good news from Shimazu Kudo, he even began to imagine how the Satsuma clan gained the greatest benefit from this incident.

During this period, the large-scale gathering of troops on the Satsuma clan also alarmed other nearby daimyos. When they came to ask, Shimazu Kokuha did not answer at all and sent it away casually. He just waited to surprise them when the final result came out and also surprise the Tokugawa shogunate.

This day, the weather was as good as ever, with sunny weather, which was really good.
