Chapter 855
From the beginning of the battle, the Samo Army was constantly besieged. The Haibei Army, Ryukyu soldiers, Ryukyu tyrants, and other groups of people all regarded the Samo Army as their targets of attack.
The total force of the Satsuma Army dispatched was 600, but the problem was that there were more than 2,000 people attacking the Satsuma Army. The Satsuma Army was in a tough battle in every battlefield and every direction, and there were enemy troops with several times the strength of the troops attacking them everywhere.
Although the Shimazu family and the Satsuma army are both famous in Japan, under the situation of Japan's unification, they have not participated in real wars for many years, while the Haibei Army is always ready to fight against Jiannu.
Therefore, although the local battle is fierce, the overall situation is one-sided. The warriors of the Shimazu family can be said to be bloody during the siege of the Haibei Army. They either fell in a pool of blood or tried to seize the way, trying to steal a boat from the dock and escape back to Satsuma.
The Shimazu army was full of casualties and collapsed. Kanan Ishida couldn't help but remember the unbearable memories of North Korea, no! These Ming troops were even more difficult to deal with than the Ming army of North Korea!
Although he injured a Ming army and was about to take his personal guards out, the Ming army soon shot him into a honeycomb with a round of dense volleyballs. The subsequent battle became more and more intense and smooth. Until Xu Zichen also brought the servants' teams in the Denlai Hall to help the battle, the Shimazu army's resistance finally came to an end.
But for Jiang Zongyun, the battle seemed a bit unworthy of the loss: "The casualties are so big, and the Japanese pirates do have some rules."
Although Jiang Zongyun and the Haibei Army have a good evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese pirates, he did not expect that such a one-sided battle would cost the Haibei Army so much.
Although the final statistics have not been summarized, Jiang Zongyun and Ding Zihang both confirmed that there were at least 100 injured. If the Zhonglie who died in battle were added together, the number of casualties may exceed 150 or even close to 200.
It turned out that Jiang Zongyun thought this battle could be as easy as Yanzhou defeating 200,000 lotus demons, but found that the Shimazu family's real wo is indeed extraordinary.
Moreover, the current statistics are only the losses of the Haibei Army. The losses of the Ryukyu have not been counted yet, so it is probably not too small. Although there are reasons for this and that, Jiang Zongyun was not satisfied with the result of this battle. Ding Zihang there breathed a sigh of relief: "Just win, as long as you can win!"
Jiang Zongyun considered the issue purely from the issue of exchange ratio, while Ding Zihang cared about the Haibei Army that won the final victory.
Although the Haibei Army suffered heavy casualties, at least 300 Japanese pirates were killed on the battlefield, and there were 1200 Japanese pirates captured. Even if the remaining Japanese pirates escaped, there were naturally Ryukyu people who went to deal with them and would not let them escape too far.
And in Ryukyu, Wang Shan Shangfeng has already rushed over to welcome the Haibei Army that has come from thousands of miles away: "Little Wang Shangfeng has seen all the generals. My country of Ryukyu has been waiting for the royal army for a full fifteen years. I would like to ask all the generals to make the decision for Xiao Wang!"
This is the right time for Ding Zihang to negotiate. Although Jiang Zongyun is also the number one figure in the Haibei Army, Ding Zihang is more suitable for this scene than him.
He immediately said, "I am on the order of Liu Pengliu Daotai to expedition to Ryukyu to fight Samo Wo and win a great victory. Now I am about to pay homage to King Zhongshan. Are you the King of Zhongshan in this generation?"
Although Shang Feng has been asking this young master Liu Peng who is sacred, Shang Feng is now pretending to know nothing about Liu Peng: "Can you ask which famous minister of the Celestial Dynasty is Liu Daotai? How many angels have a Celestial Dynasty edict!"
Ding Zihang immediately said, "The incident happened suddenly, and it was too late to ask the court for an edict. Fortunately, the governor Denglai and other places prepared troops and defense of the East. The military affairs of the Ministry of Food and Payroll and the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the right assistant censor of the Censorate Yuan Keli, the governor of the Court of Fuku. When he heard that the changes in Ryukyu had occurred, he specially asked the ministers to send troops to Ryukyu, prepared a complete set of documents, and also a handwritten letter to the King of Zhongshan."
This is to gain a moral foothold. Although sending troops to Ryukyu in Haibei Town is a fait accompli, it is a huge event in the tribute system established by the Ming Dynasty.
Although Liu Peng had the seal of Pinglu vanguard General and had the power to open a mansion to kill, he could not use troops against the Ryukyu Kingdom without authorization even if he had the Sword of Shangfang in his hand. Moreover, Liu Peng now does not have the Sword of Shangfang in his hand, so sending troops to Ryukyu is not within his power.
Fortunately, Liu Peng had a very good relationship with Yuan Keli. Since he was determined to send troops to Ryukyu, he immediately asked Yuan Keli to discuss the solution.
Yuan Keli also gave Liu Peng enough face in this matter. In his joint title, he had both Governor Deng Lai and other localities to prepare for military defense in Haizan and manage military affairs in the East, and was also the Right Minister of the Ministry of War and the Right Censor of the Censorate, so he naturally had the power to act cheaply.
What's more, his title contains six words "Praise the East End Affairs". Although everyone knows that the so-called "End End" refers to Liaodong, before the court used the final interpretation power, he also counted Ryukyu as "End End Affairs". He directly used the name of cheap action and completed a complete set of public books without saying a word, and even wrote a handwritten letter to Zhongwangshan.
Shang Feng also knew that the so-called Yuan Keli's document was just a process, but he still solemnly checked Yuan Keli's handwritten letters, and then knelt down directly: "In the lower part, the king, Xiao Wang, Shang Feng, welcomes all the angels! From today on, all the affairs of Ryukyu are handled by General Ding and General Jiang at will. No matter what General Ding or General Jiang's orders are given, Xiao Wang will obey the orders!"
Speaking of this, Shang Feng continued: "It was only after the death of the previous king, although Xiao Wang ascended the throne for four years, he had never been enthroned by the Celestial Empire. I hope Liu Daotai will deal with it on his behalf."
"Since the death of the first year of Taichang, the former king sent envoys to the capital for the second time, but he never received a word of reply. Therefore, he asked Liu Daotai to ask for a title. As long as Liu Daotai could help Xiao Wang to seal the King of Zhongshan, Xiao Wang would respond to any request!"
Although Liu Peng's official position is still the general officer with the seal of the general, Liu Peng did not hand over the seal of the original military officer and his name. Although Liu Peng did not intend to use this military officer in the Ming Dynasty, he was planning to use it on the vassals of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, for these Ming vassal states, the name of this military officer is far more than that of the general officer. Now, King Shangfeng of Zhongshan is still in extreme excitement.
He knew that after expelling the Satsuma clan, the Ryukyu Kingdom was the world of him and the Shang clan again.
Although the Haibei Army sent thousands of elite troops, the Haibei Army would not stay in Ryukyu for too long. After all, the Ming Dynasty aided Korea back then could be said to have mobilized tens of thousands of elite troops in the world. However, when the Japanese pirates were completed, the Ming army directly retreated to the country and returned all the national affairs to North Korea.
It is precisely because of this precedent that Shang Feng was so noble and even was willing to hand over the state of Ryukyu and let the Haibei Army be the supreme emperor of Ryukyu. It was because the Haibei Army had not been in Ryukyu for a long time. Even if they wanted to stay, the Ming Dynasty court would not allow them to stay for a long time.
What's more, although the Haibei Army mobilized a large number of elite troops to rescue Xu Zichen and Denglai Guild Hall this time, the entire Haibei Army and the Women were truly in a fierce war.
There is naturally no problem with the elite troops of the Haibei Army leaving for a month or two for a while, but as long as the battlefield situation will definitely undergo tremendous changes. At that time, even if they do not want to return to China, they will have to be forced to withdraw.
Ding Zihang was also very satisfied with Shang Feng's attitude of cooperation: "The King of Zhongshan is too polite. The Ryukyu Kingdom was originally a loyal vassal of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, Guan Bai Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded North Korea and attempted to take over the Central Plains. Thanks to the Ryukyu Kingdom's timely letter warning, the Ming Dynasty was prepared for the Lu Chen in Shenzhou!"
Ding Zihang's tune was set very high, and both the monarchs and ministers of Ryukyu were very satisfied, but Ding Zihang's tune was still not low: "Since the 37th year of Wanli, the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have attracted a grudge from the country and have long wanted to raise troops to help Zhongwangshan restore the kingly industry, but Jiannu rose to Liaodong, and the Ming Dynasty was really unwilling to take care of both."
"Since Liu's army won many battles since he left Liaodong, he killed his slaves for nothing, and he had made unparalleled achievements. He had long been preparing to conquer Shimazu, but the army was unwilling to kill more for no reason, so he gave Satsuma the opportunity to repent."
"As long as Shimazu is willing to change his mind and rectify the chaos and return the Masao Shang family, he will be safe and sound. But Satsuma does not repent. Not only will he continue to bully Shang family, he will become more and more aggressive and repeatedly kill the merchants and civilians of Denglai, and even dare to attack the Denglai Guild Hall..."
"Although Liu Daochen was compassionate and kind, he knew that Shimazu was already obsessed with it and could not help but return the Masasan family to Ryukyu Chongguang, and to the safety of hundreds of Denglai merchants and people, he decided to send troops eastward to Ryukyu!"
"After Ding Zihang was ordered to supervise the entire army and succeeded by luck. He wiped out 800 Japanese pirates in this battle, and 350 people living in Denglai were all protected. Ryukyu was also highly lucrative. The country's government has since returned to the Shang family! The Haibei Army has a short rest in Ryukyu and will return to Liaodong soon."
Shang Feng was so happy to hear that Ding Zihang's tone was so high. All the arrangements were not much different from what he imagined. However, he was unwilling to return to Liaodong now: "Thank you, Liu Daochen and General Ding for their kindness to restore the country. The Shang family is willing to advance and retreat with Daochen from now on."
But Shang Feng immediately said: "It's just that Shimazu's clan is insidious and vicious. Once the Haibei Army returns to Liaodong, the Japanese pirates of Satsuma will send troops to abuse Ryukyu again. They also asked General Ding and General Jiang to stay in Ryukyu for a longer time. Shang's clan is willing to trust the minister of the country and will never let down the generals."
Then Shang Feng asked another key question: "In the past fifteen years, the Shang family has been abused by Japanese pirates, and it is really miserable. I hope you will be the end of the whole world. If you can help Xiao Wang recover the country, Xiao Wang will be even more grateful and willing to be a retainer of the Liu family."
