Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Today, the overall strength of the Ming Dynasty has long surpassed that of the Yuan Dynasty, and the navy is so powerful that the Yuan Dynasty can only be held back.

Looking at the map in front of him, Li Dingguo stood up with his hands on the table, pointed to the Satsuma Peninsula and said:

"The navy is under the command of Commander Zhang. I shouldn't interrupt, but I have a small suggestion."

Zhang Huangyan smiled and cupped his hands:

"Our two armies must successfully take Kyushu Island, otherwise His Majesty will not be able to explain, and the governor will speak directly."

Li Dingguo nodded:

"Look, Commander, the Satsuma Peninsula is so big, and we arrived suddenly, it is impossible for the Japanese navy to fully defend itself.

The Ming Dynasty Navy was divided into two fleets, one fleet directly attacked Shanchuan Port, and the other fleet attacked Fukuoka, so that the Satsuma Peninsula Navy could not look after each other.

At the same time as our two fleets were attacking, the North Korean soldiers were ordered to bombard the forts and coastal defenses along the coast of Nagasaki, and quickly landed in Nagasaki. "

Zhang Huangyan applauded and laughed after hearing Li Dingguo's suggestion:

"Haha... Yes, I also have the same intention. After defeating the Japanese navy, the fleet will destroy all the coastal defenses of Kyushu Island, and then the Dragon Banner Army and the Marine Corps will land in Fukuoka."

After the two discussed it, they immediately informed the captains of the battle tactics and intentions.

This battle is a large-scale naval battle, and it is impossible to rely on iron-clad warships. Zhang Huangyan only has twelve iron-clad warships under his command.

Let's talk about Huashan Kuro leading ten warships under his command to abandon the Osumi Strait and rush to Yamakawa Port to meet Shimadzu Tadara, and immediately head to the headquarters Kagoshima.

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, the lord of the Satsuma domain, was calling a meeting of his famous names at this time.

The Ming Dynasty invaded Japan this time, since the Yuan Dynasty invaded Japan, and China invaded Japan for the first time in more than 300 years.

Although the Satsuma clan, like the Tokugawa shogunate, did not take the Ming Dynasty seriously.

However, in the first battle of Ryukyu, the Satsuma clan's troops stationed in Ryukyu were all killed.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu had long wanted to publicly turn against Daming and directly send troops to control the Ryukyu Islands again.

However, after discussing with the Tokugawa shogunate, they jointly decided to send a killer to assassinate Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian.

Two years ago, Daming was in turmoil, and the Daming Building was about to collapse.

Who would have thought that Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty would suddenly show his might and kill Li Zicheng and hundreds of thousands of bandits in the defense of the capital.

Later, they regained the inside and outside of the Great Wall forcefully, sent troops to liberate North Korea, and defeated the captive regime.

Zhu Youjian saved Daming almost by himself.

Land reform, commercial tax collection, opening of the sea ban, and trade with other countries made Ming Dynasty completely strong and prosperous.

The Satsuma clan and the Tokugawa shogunate believed that as long as the current emperor was removed, the Ming Dynasty would once again fall into doom.

At that time, not only the Ryukyu Islands will return to their hands, but even North Korea and Taiwan will be included in the territory of the shogunate.

Even if the assassination of the Ming emperor failed, if Ming wanted to send troops to attack Japan, he would only be seeking his own death. The two times when the Yuan Dynasty was wiped out in Japan is a lesson from the past.

However, neither the Tokugawa shogunate nor Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, the feudal lord of Satsuma, would have thought that Daming would let the Koreans serve as cannon fodder to attack Japan directly from Tsushima Island.

They originally thought that if Ming Dynasty attacked Japan, it should also send troops from Taiwan.

Some bigwigs from the Satsuma clan were discussing how to eliminate the Korean soldiers, when suddenly Kuro Huashan and Zhongliang Shimadzu walked into the hall.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu saw the return of two admirals under his command, and hurriedly asked:

"How, will all the North Koreans be wiped out?"

Huashan Jiulang's old face was slightly red, and he hurriedly bowed and said:

"Reporting to the feudal lord, the number of North Korean warships this time has reached as many as 150. We tried our best to destroy only [-] ships, but the Satsuma warships also lost [-] ships."

"Ah... good! This is a big victory, so congratulations! The mighty Japanese navy..."

Some staff members of the Satsuma domain heard the comparison of the numbers and felt that they had won a big victory, and congratulated them one after another.

But Mitsuhisa Shimadzu had a bitter look on his face, how could he have imagined that North Korea would have two hundred warships.

His Satsuma domain has a total of more than 300 warships, of which there are only [-] main large warships.

A small North Korea consumes fifty of his warships, which is almost half of his combat power.

If the main fleet of Ming Dynasty arrives, can they still resist it?

It seemed like a big victory, but the loss was actually a bit unbearable for Satsuma.

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa looked at his younger brother Shimadzu Tadayoshi, who was the only hope for the Satsuma Navy.

As the admiral of the Satsuma Peninsula Navy, Shimadzu Tadayoshi has the most say at this time.

"Shimadzu Tadayoshi, the Satsuma navy now depends entirely on you and Huashan Kuro. You must unite closely, concentrate all Satsuma naval forces, and wipe out the invading enemies of the Ming Dynasty on the Satsuma Peninsula, otherwise the Satsuma clan will cease to exist."

Chapter 699 Witnessing Strength

Tadayoshi Shimadzu hastily bowed and answered:

"Lord, don't worry, as long as we have breath, we will never let the Ming army set foot on the Satsuma Peninsula."

Before Shimadzu Tadayoshi finished speaking, someone immediately refuted, and spoke extremely arrogantly:

"Haha... When did the Ming army have the ability to set foot on our Satsuma Peninsula? When will my Satsuma Fan start caring about the Ming army?

Have you forgotten that during the Jiajing period, a few pirates from Japan could turn the coast of the Ming Dynasty upside down?

The feudal lord need not worry, with our warriors from the Liu family, without their navy, the Ming army will still come and go..."

Shimadzu Tadayoshi and Huashan Kuro were also extremely upset when they heard this person speak.

Everyone looked back, only to see that the person who spoke was Liu Yu, a famous samurai from the Satsuma domain.

This person is the number one martial arts master in the Satsuma domain, and also the number one swordsman in the Satsuma domain.

The Liu family is not only the number one master of martial arts in the Satsuma domain, but also the swordsmanship teacher of the lord of the Satsuma domain, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa.

The Liu family has hundreds of samurai, and their patriarch, Liu Sheng, is also the commander of the Satsuma army.

He has an army of 20 under his command, and almost all the main army of the Satsuma domain is in his hands.

This person is not only the highest commander in the army, but also speaks a lot in Satsuma.

He was also the first to propose the assassination of Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty.
