Domineering Daming

Not far behind him, Hirata Masamune was also in armor, with no expression on his face, just occasionally glanced at Huashan Jiushu, and a thought appeared in his heart, "It would be great if he fell into the sea, I will definitely not save... ..."

More than 300 ships and more than 1000 firecrackers were all elite warriors of the Satsuma clan, and it could be said that the Satsuma clan was dispatched with all their might, heading straight for the main island of Ryukyu.

Ryukyu Island.

In the past few days, Ryukyu has also been making full preparations. On the one hand, King Shangfeng and others have completed the procedures to join the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, they have gathered troops to clean up and deploy defenses.

Half of the Ryukyu people are trembling and restless, while the other half are enthusiastic and shouting loudly.

Cao Wenzhao's temporary barracks.

Liu Wentian strode in and said, "My lord, the big baskets are all ready, from south to north. As long as the Satsuma people appear in the field of vision, they can be sent back through the semaphore between the big baskets. The time can be one day in the morning!"

Cao Wenzhao stood in front of the sand table and said, "Okay, let them watch carefully, I want to know their every move!"

Liu Wentian said: "Don't worry, my lord, there are also big baskets around Shuri. Whether they go ashore or not, they are all under our surveillance and cannot escape!"

Lai Daosheng came in from the outside and said: "It's a pity, if the navy is here, we don't have to waste time here, we just drive the big boat to hit the door!"

Both Cao Wenzhao and Liu Wentian knew that Lai Daosheng was obsessed with the navy's large ships, so they smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that Cao Wenzhao was always staring at the sand table, Liu Wentian was a little puzzled and said, "My lord, aren't they just some Japanese pirates? They are all miscellaneous soldiers, vulnerable to a single blow. With our strength, we can easily annihilate them. Is there anything else to worry about?" ?”

Lai Daosheng also remembered that Cao Wenzhao seemed to have never relaxed, and asked curiously: "My lord, does the emperor have other instructions?"

Cao Wenzhao shook his head slightly, and said: "That's not true. It's just that the emperor has repeatedly explained that it can't turn into a long-term war of attrition. It must be resolved quickly. It took us a long time."

Liu Wentian, came to Daosheng to understand, indeed, their army is out, every day is attrition, and they are alone.The imperial court doesn't know about this matter yet, if the six ministries of the cabinet find out, I'm afraid it will cause a storm.

Liu Wentian thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, since this is the case, let's make a quick decision! Once the Satsuma domain is settled, we will immediately go north, and at the same time notify the reinforcements, go directly to Kagoshima, and wipe out the Satsuma domain in one fell swoop!"

When Lai Daosheng heard this, he felt something interesting, and said to Cao Wenzhao, "Are you worried about the Japanese kingdom?"

Only then did Cao Wenzhao nod, and said: "Although according to intelligence, the entire Japanese army has only 20 troops, and they are still scattered in the hands of various feudal towns. The number that can be mobilized is limited, but the "Three Great Marches" more than 20 years ago, this official also Once participated, if it becomes like that, it will be a war of attrition or a war of attrition. At that time, our army will be in a dilemma, which is what the emperor is most worried about."

Liu Wentian frowned, and said for a while: "The navy is now confronting the red-haired man, and they may start a war at any time. The emperor is justified in worrying. Then we must deter the Japanese nation enough so that they will not dare to attack and take the initiative. Bow your head and surrender!"

This is the key point that Cao Wenzhao was thinking about. At the beginning, he was arrogant in front of Zhu Xu, but now he can't lose the chain.

Lai Daosheng looked at the expressions of the two, snorted, and said: "Then give them a big one! After capturing this Kagoshima, we will take a few cities by the way, and then deploy guards. With our firearms, With 5000 guards, a [-]-strong army will not be able to attack for ten days and a half months. Once the reinforcements arrive, we will kill him ruthlessly, and see if the Wa country has the courage to go to war!"

Lai Daosheng is a bit of a "stupid old man" in the army, and he is careless. If he hadn't been trained in the military academy, he would be outspoken and "brainless".Usually everyone would subconsciously ignore half of what he said, but now Liu Wentian and Cao Wenzhao all turned their heads and looked at him directly.

Lai Daosheng was startled, then the corners of his face stiffened, and he smiled awkwardly: "Master, I always talk nonsense, don't take it seriously..."

Cao Wenzhao chuckled and said, "No, you've got the point this time, so give him a hard time!"

Speaking of which, Cao Wenzhao pulled over the map near Kagoshima, examined it carefully, and started planning.

The entire Ryukyu was busy without touching the ground, and even civilians were mobilized to speed up security.

Although Ryukyu has been abandoned for too long, there are quite a number of people. Shang Tong mobilized from all over the country, and in just four days there were more than 1 people scattered everywhere. Just looking at the number of people, it is quite spectacular.

But if you look at their attire, it is really horrible.

They have few armors, some from the Ming Dynasty and some from the Japanese Kingdom, they are neither fish nor fowl, and they can't even hold weapons, one-third of them still hold wooden clubs!

When Cao Wenzhao came this time, he brought 500 more sets of armor and gave them to Shang Tong. [-] people wore Ming Dynasty armor and standard weapons, which were distinctive and unified. This made them very excited, like children wearing new clothes for the New Year .

Shuri, the east coast.

This is one of the three ports suitable for landing and attacking Shuri. It is also an important place for Ryukyu's foreign trade. It was previously controlled by the Satsuma clan, and it was just snatched back a few days ago.

Cao Wenzhao took a telescope and observed here.He had practiced naval battles before, but after more than ten days of running around at sea, he realized the vastness and danger of the sea.

Shang Tong stood beside him, playing with the binoculars in his hands, with an excited expression, and said: "General, everything is ready, I have deployed [-] soldiers here, once Satsuma logs in, they will resist a little, Then retreat immediately and lure them to the ambush point."

Cao Wenzhao's expression remained unchanged. In fact, he didn't need such an arrangement, but he also took care of some thoughts and enthusiasm of the Ryukyu people. Putting down the binoculars, he said: "Okay, when the time comes, you must retreat in unison, and you must not disperse. The Satsuma domain has all been introduced into ambush points."

"Yes!" Shang Tong showed joy, and it was affirmation for him to be able to wait until the general of the Heavenly Dynasty Shangguo nodded.

Cao Wenzhao observed it for a while, and he knew it well.

This port is not big, if it is a big ship of the Ming Dynasty, two hundred ships is the limit, but if it is a miscellaneous ship of the size of Satsuma, three to five hundred is not a problem.

"It seems that keeping 500 people is not enough, and 1000 people should be about the same."

Cao Wenzhao whispered in his heart, he planned to blow up these ships directly and cut off the retreat of Satsuma, but now he has to stay!

Suddenly, a soldier hurried over, knelt on one knee and said, "My lord, I found the Satsuma clan's fleet a hundred miles away!"

Shang Tong's face changed slightly, and he looked at Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao didn't move his face, and pondered for a while: "So, they will arrive in a day. Order to prepare everywhere, General Shang, and you too. Let's go to see King Shangfeng together later. .”

"Obey!" At this time, Shang Tong also felt uneasy.

Inside the palace.

When Shang Feng, Shang Lian and others heard that the Satsuma clan was about to kill, they all became nervous—the time for Ryukyu's life and death has come!

Shang Feng sat on the throne, looked at Cao Wenzhao with some unease, and said, "General, don't you...can we win? This is related to the survival of my Ryukyu, so don't be careless."

Shang Lian and Shang Tong all looked at him, they all pinned their hopes on Cao Wenzhao, and they didn't have much confidence in themselves, and there was a sense of "inquiry and worry" in their eyes.

Cao Wenzhao smiled lightly, full of confidence and calmness, and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will fight for more than 20 years, and 10,000+ troops have been wiped out. The mere Satsuma clan can be destroyed with a snap of a finger!"

After everyone listened to his words, they felt a little more at ease, Shang Feng said: "Then I will leave everything to the general, Xiao Wang is here to wait for the general's good news!"

Cao Wenzhao could feel that King Shangfeng was very scared, and said directly: "Your Majesty, just rest in peace, and in two days, Ryukyu will be safe again!"

Shang Feng didn't say any more, Cao Wenzhao had already taken over almost all the power in Ryukyu, and he gave everything he could, and now it depends on the meaning of "God".

Cao Wenzhao took Shangtong away, summoned Liu Wentian, came to Daosheng, and quickly made preparations for the upcoming battle!

Chapter 719 Rogue Tactics

The next day, noon.

On a hill, high up in a large basket.

Cao Wenzhao and Shang Tong stood side by side, keeping the binoculars in their hands, observing every move on the sea.

Both of them are very patient, Cao Wenzhao is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and Shang Tong is patient.

In the telescope, some black spots gradually appeared, slowly, slowly, more and more, gathered together, and came towards them.

Shang Tong was very nervous, put down the binoculars a little nervously, and said to Cao Wenzhao: "General, the people from Satsuma Fan are here!"
