Domineering Daming

Liu Wentian glanced around, leaned closer and said in a low voice, "My lord, isn't the commander of the Satsuma Domain going to surrender? Let's let him attack..."

"But……"

Liu Wentian hurriedly said: "My lord, listen to me, our people can pretend to be Ryukyu people, mix in with Satsuma people, or even pretend to be pirates. In short, we don't recognize that we are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, the Japanese kingdom doesn't treat us much. I understand, even if they suspect us in the end, so what?"

Cao Wenzhao immediately narrowed his eyes and his heart was pounding.

It stands to reason that his mission is actually over. To defend Ryukyu and teach Satsuma a lesson. Now that Satsuma's army has been captured by him, it can be said that he has completed it perfectly.

If he could keep his face and swallow the island of Kyushu, it would definitely be a great achievement!Based on what he knew about Zhu Xu, he would definitely be extremely happy!

"it is good!"

Cao Wenzhao almost let out a low growl, and then whispered in Liu Wentian's ear: "You immediately reorganize the Satsuma clan, and also train the Ryukyu people, and set off early tomorrow morning! By the way, we will gather later Let's discuss specific tactics!"

"Yes!" Liu Wentian was also very excited. As a general, he wanted to expand his territory and gain military merits!

Huashan Jiushou was very excited to accept the Ming Dynasty. When he was translating Liu Wentian's lecture, he kept saying "Ha! Ha! Ha!", very serious and serious.

He had no idea that Mingren's ambition had spread from Satsuma to the entire Kyushu Island!

Huashan Jiushou has seen the power of the Ming Dynasty, which even surpassed that of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He wants to rely on him, and he wants to be the Satsuma Mori of the Satsuma Kingdom!

Naturally, he did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would annex the Satsuma Domain and the entire Kyushu for the first time!

He actively cooperated, even thinking about how much tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year in order to get the protection of Ming Dynasty!

With the powerful firearms of Ming Dynasty and the surrounding mountains of Satsuma, it is enough to resist the attacks of other vassal states and even the shogunate!

Huashan Jiushou was ambitious, and his heart was churning with eagerness.

The 8000 people he brought can now stand up, and less than 3000 people with weapons have been reorganized and still handed over to the commander of Huashan Jiushou, named "Satsuma Camp", named him a captain, and even allocated them I bought some Ming Dynasty Bingjia.

"Long live Daming! Long live my emperor!"

Under Liu Wentian's supervision, Huashan Jiushou raised his hands and shouted loudly in awkward Chinese.

The nearly 3000 people behind him also shouted in awkward Chinese, and the scene looked very chaotic and funny.

Liu Wentian was very dissatisfied, staring at Huashan for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Continue training for me, and you must be ordered to stop it. What kind of army are you? You are not even as good as pirates!"

What Liu Wentian said was murderous, but what the translator relayed was even more impolite.

"Ha!" Huashan Jiushou's expression changed, and he bowed ninety degrees.

Liu Wentian snorted coldly, turned around and left.

It would be a joke to expect such an army to attack Kyushu, and they had to come by themselves.

Huashan Jiushou looked angry, Liu Wentian looked at the 3000 people standing there and cursed: "Baga..."

On the other hand, Lai Daosheng is also impatiently training Ryukyu soldiers. Shang Tong originally had 1 soldiers, but now there are [-] here. He gathered them together for emergency training.

It was really urgent, and they couldn't help wasting time.

On the other side, Shang Feng raised his hand, bowed deeply, and said very sincerely: "Thank you, General, for saving me from my life and danger, please accept Xiao Wang's bow!"

Cao Wenzhao knew that King Shangfeng was not without small calculations, but he still had to take care of his face, so he quickly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite, this is the duty of the future!"

When Shang Feng saw the captives all over the ground and the dead body of Hirata Zengzong, he was completely relieved. He was polite to Cao Wenzhao again and again, showing great gratitude, and took him back to the city, ready to celebrate.

Cao Wenzhao naturally refused. He has too many things to do now, and he said politely: "The general still has many important tasks in the country. He has already eliminated most of the Satsuma clan's military power. He will go north tomorrow to regain his homeland for Ryukyu. And break through the Satsuma domain as a warning to ensure the safety of Ryukyu!"

Shang Feng didn't expect things to go so smoothly, it was completely beyond his expectations, he couldn't say a lot of things that he had prepared long ago, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at Shang Lian.

Shang Lian's thoughts are a little different from Shang Feng's now, and he turned his heart, saying: "General, our country will set up a province under the name of a country, and there are many things to discuss with the general from government affairs to military affairs. Since the main force of the Satsuma Domain has been eliminated, the remaining Just let others deal with it, why bother the general to go there in person.”

"I will do my best, and I will not dare to be careless!"

Cao Wenzhao didn't want to intrigue with these people, so he said directly: "As for government affairs, the emperor once said that it all depends on the Ryukyu royal family's own opinion, and other people will not interfere."

Shang Feng and Shang Lian looked at each other, Cao Wenzhao's "full respect" attitude made them even more difficult to speak, and he felt a faint guilt in his heart.

Both of them were silent for a while, Shang Feng said: "General, our country is weak and needs a lot of help from the heavenly court. Please, General, speak well in front of His Majesty the Emperor."

Cao Wenzhao smiled slightly and said, "That's natural."

Shang Feng and Shang Lian looked at each other again, both felt that it was extremely inappropriate to say something at this time, Shang Lian said: "Then General, please return to Shuri, our country will do our best to thank the General for protecting our country and merit."

Cao Wenzhao knew that Zhu Xu had some plans, but he didn't tell him clearly, obviously he didn't want him to intervene, so he said more resolutely: "If there is a chance, I will definitely visit the prince and your lords again."

Shang Feng and Shang Lian frowned, Cao Wenzhao obviously meant that they were gone forever.

But the two of them couldn't force them to stay. Fortunately, they didn't leave immediately. They found an excuse, turned around and went back to the city to discuss.

Naturally, Zhu Xu and the imperial court should worry about the affairs of the Ryukyu Kingdom, while Cao Wenzhao now cares more about the affairs of Kyushu.

Cao Wenzhao, Lai Daosheng, and Liu Wentian gathered together to discuss in secret.

The three of them looked at the map, and Liu Wentian said first, "My lord, let's go north along the island chain, first recover the Ryukyu Islands, and then occupy the big corner, as the foundation, and have a basis for advancing and retreating. Let the Satsuma camp and the Ryukyu camp handle these things. There are not many soldiers on the island, so it should be easy."

The Satsuma camp is the 3000 people Huashan has guarded for a long time, and the Ryukyu camp is the 5000 people commanded by Shang Tong. The three plan to organize them into an army as a vanguard.

Neither Cao Wenzhao nor Lai Daosheng spoke. These were trivial matters. The key issue was after landing in Satsuma, that is, Kagoshima.

Lai Daosheng looked at it for a while, and said: "My lord, you can let the navy pretend to be a pirate, go from north to south, first take down the islands such as Tsushima and Iki in the north of Shikoku Island, and use them as a base to wander in the Kanmon Ryu Strait to attract those northern vassals. With the country's attention, the Satsuma camp and the Ryukyu camp can use the method of 'quick battle' to carry out surprise attacks and quickly occupy the vassal states!"

Cao Wenzhao looked at the map without saying a word, and was still deducing it carefully, with a serious expression.

In front of Cao Wenzhao and Zhu Xu in the army formation, there are completely two people.

Seeing that Cao Wenzhao did not speak, Liu Wentian pointed to the map and said, "My lord, the key is the Guanmen Strait. As long as this is blocked, it will be difficult for the Japanese country to enter Kyushu. Let the navy investigate first. Loading dozens of cannons is enough to prevent them from getting ashore!"

Lai Daosheng said: "Also, the Satsuma camp and the Ryukyu camp are too weak. They should be armed. You can equip them with artillery and broken guns. Let's just say they bought them from the red-haired people. The Japanese news I'm closed, I don't know what happened to me, I should be able to hide it..."

Cao Wenzhao nodded slightly at this moment, and said: "We don't go from south to north, we directly start from the Kanmon Strait, pretend to be pirates, occupy the Chikuzen Kingdom, control the Kanmon Ryukyu, and the rest can be done calmly."

Liu Wentian and Daosheng were startled when they came, Cao Wenzhao's idea was really ingenious, and it jumped out of their circle of thinking.

The two hurriedly looked at the map, and after a while, they suddenly realized that their commander-in-chief's idea was really powerful.

The Satsuma domain is already empty, it doesn’t matter if it is occupied or not, the key is the Kanmon Strait, as long as it is occupied here, Kyushu Island will be closed and beaten, they can come here however they want!

Chapter 725

Liu Wentian looked at the map and said thoughtfully: "My lord, then we might as well take a two-pronged approach. The Satsuma camp and the Ryukyu camp continue to attract the attention of other vassal states in the north. We and the navy will pretend to be pirates and occupy the Guanmen Strait first. Of."

When Daosheng heard it, he immediately continued: "Wen Tian is right, let's occupy a small piece first, and keep quiet. Anyway, that small feudal country must have been harassed by pirates. As long as we stand firm, we can take advantage of the size of that small country. The troops can't help us, we can use the Satsuma camp to attract the attention of other people, and when the Wa country wants to interfere, we are ready in the Kanmon Strait..."
