Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 691
On the sea in the distance, I don't know when, the shadows of many ships appeared, as if a forest appeared on the sea in the distance.

"Boat, boat, boat..." Jin Yingyuan suddenly ignored the basic etiquette, grabbed Zheng Zhou's arm, but kept his eyes on the open sea, and said excitedly, "Look, there are a lot of boats coming!"

Zheng Zhou's arm hurts from being caught by him, but when he heard his words, he didn't care about the pain in his arm, and quickly turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a lot of boats on the surface of the outer sea.

"It's a lucky boat, a lucky boat, Daming's lucky boat!" After looking at it, Zheng Zhou suddenly shouted excitedly, "It's the Daming Navy, it's the Daming Navy!"

There are only two possibilities for a large fleet that can come to the Ryukyu side, and that is the fleet of the Ming Dynasty or the Wa Kingdom.

However, there is a significant difference between the ships of Ming Dynasty and Wa Kingdom.

Daming is a lucky boat, tall at both ends, similar to ingots;
The Japanese ships are mainly Anzhai Ship and Guan Ship, supplemented by Jiangfan Clipper Ship.These ships are obviously different from the Fuchuan. They are generally equipped with armor on both sides of the ship, which is very high, and there may be layers of towers in the middle part of the ship.

Whether it was Zheng Zhou or Jin Yingyuan, of course they could recognize what kind of ship it was.

Even if the flag is still unclear, it can be seen from the blurred shadow of the ship that it is Fuchuan.And so many lucky boats, what else could they be besides the Daming Navy they had been waiting for?
Jin Yingyuan was also very excited, nodding repeatedly, he had already confirmed that it was the Daming Navy, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, it is the Daming Navy!"

When he said this, he suddenly found that he was holding Zheng Zhou's old arm tightly. He was startled, let go of his hand quickly, and then asked a little worriedly: "Is this arm okay? I didn't mean it!"

Zheng Zhou felt numb in his hands, but he was still very excited and just said: "It's okay, it's okay, haha, the soldiers are here tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Jin Yingyuan became excited again, and immediately said to Zheng Zhou: "Look, I'll just say it, soldiers from tomorrow will definitely come, you are still worried, look at you, you are still Ming!"

The 36 households of Fujian boatmen who came here at the order of the Emperor Taizu settled in Kume Village, and they always regarded themselves as Daming people instead of Ryukyu people. Their living habits all kept the clothes of the Ming Dynasty. Don't admit it, refuse to shave your hair and wear it easily.

Therefore, from the perspective of the Ryukyu people, it is still the people of Kume Village who think that they all think they are Ming people.

At this time, Zheng Zhou heard Jin Yingyuan's words and said very ashamedly: "I'm really ashamed, I'm ashamed, I must regret it, regret it..."

While speaking, I saw that the fleet in the open sea was getting closer and closer, and it was very clear that it was the Daming Navy.

Of course, Jin Yingyuan and the others were not the only ones who noticed such a big movement.The fishermen, and the people on the pier, all saw it.

I stared blankly at such a huge fleet approaching Naha Port, and was shocked.

After a while, they came back to their senses and immediately had different reactions.

After those Ryukyu people came to their senses, they all cheered.Obviously, for them, the boat from Daming was better than the boat from the Japanese.

But those Japanese people running rampant on the pier had a look of panic on their faces, and immediately ran away.

Jin Yingyuan already knew that he pinched Zheng Zhou's arm just now, so he carefully led Zheng Zhou to go ashore and rushed to the pier to welcome the arrival of the Da Ming soldiers.

His entourage, of course, rushed to report to the king.Even at this time, the officials at the dock would send someone, but it didn't prevent him from sending someone to report.

Suddenly, Jin Yingyuan pointed to the distant sea with his finger, and said in shock: "Feng Zhou, do you see that, Feng Zhou, iron armor seals the boat?"

The colossal Feng Zhou couldn't be more dazzling.However, in today's Fengzhou, the hull still reflects the luster of metal, which surprised him even more.

In fact, ironclad ships, in this era, are actually not saying that there are no such things.

North Korea's turtle boats are partially covered with iron armor.There are also examples of Japanese ships covered with iron armor.The most famous one is the warship that defeated the Maori water army during the Warring States Period of the Warring States Period. It was covered with iron armor to restrain and win.However, the iron armor of the Wa Kingdom is actually just an "iron armored ship" with iron plates on the superstructure.

But today's Ming Dynasty warships, even the sides of the ship are made of iron armor, I don't know, just looking at it that way, you may even suspect that the entire ship is made of iron armor.

In this way, there is no doubt about the shock that the iron armor sealed the boat to the passers-by.They even made them ignore the chimney and the paddle wheel protected by the iron armor.

After Jin Yingyuan came back to his senses, he immediately began to worry again.

Fengzhou is too big. At this time, there seems to be no wind, and I am afraid that it will not be able to sail into Naha Port!

This is experienced. When the Fengzhou before refitting came to Naha Port to be canonized as the king of the Ryukyu, it was impossible to drive in by itself. In the end, more than 50 paddle boats were dragged into the port.

But who knew, the sudden smoke from the armored boat caught their attention.

In his first reaction, Zheng Zhou panicked and said, "No, it's on fire!"

This is really unlucky. Just after arriving at Naha Port, Fengzhou caught fire. What is the sign?
Anyway, definitely not a good thing!

Jin Yingyuan also panicked at first, but then he reacted immediately, and immediately said pleasantly: "It's not on fire, how could it be on fire! Look, that's a chimney, yes, that's a chimney, there must be a fire." The steam engine is burning inside!"

If you have seen a steam train, you cannot guess a steam ship!

Zheng Zhou was dumbfounded and couldn't react for a while.

After seeing the iron-clad boat was smoking, although the paddle wheel was covered by the iron armor, the splash of water caused by its rotation also attracted their attention at once.

I saw the armored and sealed boat smoking, and it sailed into Naha Port very freely.

It was also at this time that the people on the shore discovered that among so many ships from the Ming Dynasty, there was not just one iron-clad warship, but quite a few.

At this time, a medium-sized ordinary blessing boat had already docked, and groups of soldiers from the Ming army got off the boat.After disembarking, start to occupy the pier.

Zheng Zhou's son and grandson were the first to disembark from the boat because they were from the Ryukyu Islands. They happened to see Zheng Zhou and Jin Yingyuan at the pier, and immediately ran over in surprise.

At the same time, he also introduced to the Ming general behind them: "Father, this is General Yu, who was ordered to capture the Japanese on the island."

Then, naturally, Kim Eung Won was also introduced.

As soon as Jin Yingyuan heard this, he immediately greeted him very enthusiastically, and immediately took Yu Chong and the soldiers of the Ming army who disembarked, and immediately marched towards the island.

A steady stream of Ming army soldiers, as if endless, got off the docked boats, and then drove to the depths of the island.

As long as they are not dressed up by Japanese people, they are all ignored, and if they see people dressed up by Japanese people, even if they temporarily shout that they are actually Ryukyu people, they will all be taken down by Ming army soldiers, and those who dare to resist will be killed.

The Ryukyu Expeditionary Army was headed by Zeng Ying, with Yang Zhan as his deputy and Zheng Sen as his supervisor.At this time, they were all on the boat, waiting for the imperial soldiers to control Naha, and waiting for the Ryukyu king to come to welcome them.

During this period, Zheng Zhou was naturally interviewed, and Zheng Zhou was in tears. He didn't expect to see so many court officials and soldiers in his lifetime.

The Emperor Ming sent so many troops to Ryukyu, and dealing with the Japanese in Ryukyu was like killing chickens with a knife.There are only less than 500 Japanese people!
Therefore, when Jin Yingyuan brought the Ming soldiers to the Ryukyu Palace and saw the Ryukyu King Shangxian, Shangxian was very excited when he said that!
He didn't expect that the Emperor Ming would not only keep his promise and send the Great Tomorrow Soldiers, but also pay so much attention to it, that he would send so many Great Tomorrow Soldiers, it would take as many as a hundred to beat one!
King Shangxian didn't dare to be negligent, he immediately tidied up and led his civil and military officials, let's just say this, and hurried to Naha Port to greet him.

Although he had already imagined that there were enough soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, he still felt dizzy when he actually saw it with his own eyes. There must be too many Daming fleets!Therefore, he didn't dare to be negligent, and he didn't dare to trust him at all. He immediately asked the commander-in-chief and supervisor of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Yu Chong has already led his men to arrest all the Japanese on the island.

In fact, it can be said that only the first part of the Japanese was captured by him, and the rest of the Japanese were all sent to him by the Ryukyu people.

Zeng Ying didn't say anything, and directly killed more than 500 Japanese people in the port to sacrifice the flag.This made the King of Ryukyu, his officials, and the people who came to kneel to welcome him feel even more terrified of Daming's heavenly power, and thanked Daming for being the master of the small country of Fanbang.

But that's it, it's not over yet.

Zeng Ying told Shangxian to take people and lead the Ming army to other Ryukyu islands and arrest the remaining Japanese.

Ryukyu also has Amami Oshima, which covers an area of ​​more than 700 square kilometers. If it is only Ryukyu Island, it will not be able to squeeze the expeditionary force this time.Moreover, Amami Oshima is closer to the mainland of the Wa Kingdom, so it will be much easier to attack the Wa Kingdom after resting there.

Naturally, King Shangxian did not dare to be negligent, and quickly agreed to the request of the Ming Commander-in-Chief, and expressed his thanks again and again, thanking the Emperor of Ming for being able to make decisions for him. It is really important to send such a large army to the Ryukyu Kingdom!
As a result, Zeng Ying said directly to him: "Your Majesty has an order. In order to prevent the future troubles of the Japanese bullying you, this commander will also lead the fleet to conquer the Japanese country. The Ryukyu side should be used as a transfer point for materials. Ships from your country should also Go to Daming to transport supplies."

"..." King Shangxian was stunned when he heard this.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty even wanted to conquer the country of Wa for the sake of Ryukyu, which was a hundred times more important than he imagined. No wonder so many heavenly soldiers came!
How can He De!To let the suzerain country attach so much importance!

At this moment, Shangxian Wang is numb!
