Shang Feng didn't care about these rumors in the past. He felt that even though Xu Zichen had a sister who was favored in front of Liu Peng, he was already separated from Liu Peng several times, and no matter how much he was favored, he could have a limit.

However, this time the Haibei Army sent troops to Ryukyu to break all of Shang Feng's suspicions. Although Ding Zihang and Jiang Zongyun both said that the Haibei Army sent troops to Ryukyu this time was to "return the Chongguang Ryukyu to the Shang family", Shang Feng was the first to believe this open and powerful reason.

Ryukyu has been dominated by Shimazu clan for fifteen years. In the past, Ryukyu thought about the Ming Dynasty's king's army, but the Ming Dynasty never sent out a single army or a soldier, not to mention that Liu Peng was just a powerful famous person in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the 350 Shang and Minsheng in the Denlai Guild Hall were slaughtered by Shimazu Army at any time. This should be the main reason why the Haibei Army sent troops to Ryukyu, but Shang Feng still looked at Xu Zichen with admiration.

He felt that Xu Zichen, Liu Peng's brother-in-law, was one of the main reasons why Haibei Town sent troops to Ryukyu. As long as he served Xu Zichen well, he could keep the officers and soldiers of Haibei Town.

Xu Zichen had a communication with Ding Zihang in advance: "I have met the King of Zhongshan below, please rest assured. Since my brother-in-law wants to preside over the King of Zhongshan, Shimazu will never dare to make a comeback."

But Shang Feng knew that after the Haibei Army sent troops to Ryukyu this time, the Satsuma clan would definitely take a cautious attitude towards the Ryukyu Kingdom and would never act rashly.

But the problem is that the Daming Shimazu Tadaeyoshi, the Shimazu family's generation, was a fanatical scholar. It was he who suppressed all the different opinions within the Satsuma family and decided to send troops to conquer Ryukyu. The fruits of victory obtained by conquering Ryukyu also made the entire Satsuma family regard the Ryukyu Kingdom as a vassal that he could do whatever he wanted.

The Shimazu family could not accept the result of losing Ryukyu Kingdom or even further losing the Amami Islands. They would definitely send troops to Ryukyu again. If they did not send troops, they would be a thunder attack as soon as they sent troops. They would mobilize more troops and exert extremely fierce revenge on the rulers and ministers of Ryukyu.

Therefore, Shang Feng felt that Xu Zichen's idea was purely a paper talk: "Brother Zichen, you are wrong, and I also know that since Liu Daotai is willing to preside over justice for Xiao Wang, it is a very honorable thing... But you and Liu Daotai don't know how sinister and vicious the Japanese slaves of Shimazu are. I am afraid that the Shimazu family will kill all the Shang monarchs and ministers at that time."

Xu Zichen was moved by this. He asked Ding Zihang and Jiang Zongyun: "General Ding, General Jiang, can you stay in Ryukyu Kingdom for a moment?"

On the other side, Shangfeng added: "It's not just for a moment to stay, it's best to ask Haibei Town to station a large army in Ryukyu, so that it can eliminate the wolves of Shimazu Japanese."

And the Ryukyu ministers said below: "Please ask Haibei Town to station troops in Ryukyu, even if there are 180 people, we will be responsible for all food, clothing, housing, transportation and expenses."

Whether there are troops stationed in the Haibei region of Ryukyu is completely different for the Shimazu army. Even if there are only 180 soldiers stationed, Shimazu will think twice before sending troops to Ryukyu. Xu Zichen was also helping the monarch and ministers of Ryukyu: "I heard that the battle situation in Fuzhou has temporarily eased during this period. Even if two battalions cannot be stationed, it is okay to leave one battalion, one battalion cannot be used, and one battalion can be used!"

However, Ding Zihang looked embarrassed: "This matter is of great importance. I am afraid that Mr. Liu will have to make a decision. I am afraid that it is not something I can decide..."

Xu Zichen said, "General Ding, listen to me, just leave a battalion in Ryukyu to intimidate the Shimazu family. Otherwise, when the Satsuma vassal bloodbath of Ryukyu, we will not only regret it too late, but we will also have to pay several times or even dozens of times the price."

His voice became stern: "You have to consider the hundreds of thousands of people in Ryukyu. I will run down with the King of Zhongshan on my brother-in-law. You can leave a camp first!"

"The emperor will not accept the orders of the outside king!" Shang Feng also added next to him: "You must not hesitate about this matter. Hesitation is a disaster for me, Ryukyu, to destroy the country! I can go to Longkou to ask Liu Daotai for mercy, and all the expenses of this camp will be borne by our Ryukyu Kingdom."

But Jiang Zongyun stood up and opposed it: "One battalion is absolutely not possible, but... you can consider leaving a small battalion."

Both battalions of Haibei Army were reinforced battalions, so there was no big problem in drawing personnel from the two reinforced battalions to form a small battalion. Therefore, with Xu Zichen dealing with it, the two sides quickly reached a specific agreement.

All logistics affairs and expenditures of this small battalion of the Haibei Army are under the responsibility of Ryukyu, and will be composed of three infantry companies and a heavy-mounted mobile company.

The two reinforcement battalions each dispatched more than 60 backbone members to form an infantry company. Jiang Zongyun also dispatched artillery from the two reinforcement battalions' direct teams to form a heavy mobile company. With the battalion headquarters, the current strength is exactly 200 people.

The Ryukyu side expressed great dissatisfaction with the arrangements of Ding Zihang and Jiang Zongyun. They believed that the Haibei Army sent too few troops, and no matter how small the small battalion was, it would have to have 400 people. However, even if the infantry company that was short of the gang was equipped, the total strength of the Ryukyu garrison battalion was less than 300, and the actual force now was only 200.

The Shimazu army dispatched 3,000 people in the 37th year of Wanli. If they retaliated against the Ryukyu Kingdom, they would definitely be prepared. The troops dispatched would not be less than 5,000 or 6,000 troops. How could the two or 300 people from the Ryukyu garrison battalion deal with the five or 6,000 Japanese slaves flocked to the Satsuma vassal?

Such troops cannot even defend the main island of Ryukyu, let alone recovering the Amami Islands.

Under their constant protests, Ding Zihang finally agreed to make a huge concession. After he agreed to return to Longkou, he immediately transferred the incomplete infantry company to Ryukyu. At the same time, a large number of new and old combat backbones were transported, striving to make the troops of these four companies meet the standards of the Haibei Army.

Before the short-form infantry company arrived in Ryukyu, Xu Zichen provided another solution. Although most of the guards, mercenaries and two Madam Liu's troops were about to return to Longkou and Liaodong, Xu Zichen and Yuwen Ba both had at least fifty or sixty soldiers in their hands.

Now, we will form a temporary infantry company with these fifty or sixty soldiers and hand it over to the Ryukyu garrison battalion for dispatch and use. After the reinforcements of the Haibei Army came up, the temporary infantry company would be returned to Xu Zichen.

Shang Feng felt that this plan could barely be accepted, and the Haibei Army also showed great sincerity in cooperation: "Liu Zichao is the deputy battalion commander of the Ryukyu Garrison Battalion? I think it's good!"

Liu Zichao was the first young master of the Liu family to bring his servants to welcome the Haibei Army at the dock. It was because of Liu Zichao's wise and decisiveness that the Haibei Army had fewer unjust paths. Therefore, Xu Zichen and Jiang Zongyun both felt that he was a good partner.

The monarchs and ministers of Ryukyu all knew that Liu Zichao was born in Ryukyu during the Yongle period. In fact, it was no different from the Ryukyu natives. It was also a candidate that Ryukyu was fully acceptable to the monarchs and ministers of Ryukyu. Moreover, Liu Ziqi became the first deputy battalion commander of the Ryukyu garrison battalion, which naturally also meant that Ryukyu had enough influence on this garrison battalion.

Although the Shang family's monarch and ministers were very satisfied with the Haibei Army's troops sent troops to Ryukyu to return to the government, this does not mean that they do not have their own interests.

In fact, although they expressed their willingness to obey the Haibei Army, they decided to recapture the Amami Islands and sent the Haibei Army away immediately. However, the Haibei Army was not only willing to help the Ryukyu Kingdom recover the Amami Islands, but they were even unwilling to help them cope with the next round of invasion of the Satsuma Domain.

In this case, they would beg the Haibei Army to station more troops in Ryukyu and even be willing to bear all the related costs.

However, they still clearly distinguished Ryukyu from Haibei Town, without mentioning the specific command of Ryukyu's soldiers, let alone the relationship between Ryukyu and the garrison battalion. They only reached a specific agreement: "Once Satsuma invades, the defense of the entire island will be temporarily held by the commander of the Haibei Army."

However, Ding Zihang had already deduced this issue with Liu Peng before sending troops to Ryukyu. He knew that reaching such an agreement would be a perfect ending.

Before the Jiannu was solved, the Haibei Army had no intention of taking care of Ryukyu. On the contrary, Haibei Town had to use the Ryukyu commercial window to obtain a large amount of military supplies nearby.

He told Shang Feng very clearly: "Zhongwangshan, I can stay in Ryukyu for two weeks before I am ready to set off and return. But please rest assured that with our garrison battalion, Shimazu family dare not make any decisions about us!"

Shang Feng also felt relieved: "Yes, since Haibei Town can station troops in Ryukyu, then Shimazu clan will never dare to bully our Ryukyu Kingdom too much!"

But Tadahoshi Shimazu didn't think so. When he heard the news that Shimazu's army was defeated in Ryukyu Kingdom, he was furious: "What a Haibei Town! Do you really think that my Satsuma was suppressed by the Tokugawa clan and could be lawless."

Although the Shimazu family has been recuperating for more than 30 years since the Battle of Invasion of Korea, they gradually recovered their vitality. In the 37th year of Wanli, the Shimazu family was only planning to dispatch 1,500 troops, but in the end, more than 3,000 samurai took the initiative to follow the Shimazu family to fight.

The spoils brought by the Ryukyu Battle and the rest and rest for fifteen years gave the Shimazu family more potential for war. Even if it did not have the 770,000 stones at its peak, it would have at least 700,000 stones. Tadhoku Shimazu felt that as long as he gave his order, he might be able to mobilize 20,000 football players.

But the problem is not Shimazu clan, but Edo shogun Tokugawa Tadahidharma, who is a truly powerful figure, is looking for all excuses to suppress and change the external names of the Satsuma clan.

Now that the world is unified, the Shimazu family will naturally have a 100 chance of winning again. Even if the Haibei Army intervenes in this war, Tadaoshi Shimazu firmly believes that he will be the final victory.

But the problem is that if the Shimazu clan did not ask the Tokugawa clan to send troops to Ryukyu without asking for permission, it would be a dead end. The shogun in Edo was waiting for him to make a fatal mistake and then change the Isamo clan.
