Chapter 309 Drive the Japanese pirates into the sea
A safe prince is Gu Zhenhua's positioning of the future of Ryukyu. In fact, from the perspective of later geopolitics, Ryukyu and even Taiwan are typical transitional areas of sea power and land power. If the land power is strong, these areas will naturally be under the control of the Central Plains dynasty. Once the land power declines and the sea power is strong, these areas will inevitably be lost. This is the ruthlessness of the jungle world.
Although Gu Zhenhua has not even solved the Tartars, he has already begun to carry out cloth overseas. He not only attacked the Qing Dynasty, but also fought for the lost national destiny.
"King Shangxian, just wait to hold a celebration banquet for us. Don't worry about anything left!" Lu Mingyue said without hesitation.
Shangxian monk looked at each other, his eyes full of helplessness. As the saying goes, it is difficult to be a small matter between the two majors, so they can only pray for the blessings of their ancestors.
After the Japanese invaded Ryukyu, they adopted the system of "persistence in the world". To put it bluntly, the Satsuma clan sent retainers to serve as the emperor and in charge of various government affairs of Ryukyu. All the main islands of Ryukyu were equipped with Japanese government offices.
Since Gu Zhenhua sent personnel to Ryukyu one after another, the Japanese also smelled the turmoil. However, facing the huge Ming court, the Japanese did not dare to act rashly. In the secret, they continued to increase their troops, and on Ryukyu Island alone, they gathered 3,500 soldiers.
This time, the sending of envoys came to blackmail, is actually a test by the Japanese, who wanted to see what Ryukyu's attitude was.
Unexpectedly, she met a young man like Shang Pei and shot the envoy directly. Lu Mingyue also knew that time was tight and she had to expel the Japanese forces as soon as possible and completely control Ryukyu. Therefore, she made up her mind to attack the Japanese.
"General Yang, Madam Gao, as the left and right wings, I personally lead the central army. Let's fight to the death with these Japanese pirates!"
Yang Kun smiled and said, "For the past few months, my brothers have been training hard. You can't embarrass China when you go overseas. Don't worry, Miss Lu, we will definitely strive for the first place!"
"It's not Miss Lu, but Commander-in-Chief Lu!" Lu Mingyue emphasized without hesitation: "Everyone, we are overseas and the troops are mixed. If you want to defeat the Japanese pirates, you must work together. Military rules must be the priority in everything. No matter who it is, if you violate it, you will be severely punished!"
Gao Guiying smiled and said, "Okay, she is worthy of being a hero among women! Commander Lu's words are reasonable, we have nothing to say!"
They have deduced the plan many times, and now with an order, all the troops have been mobilized and rushed towards the Japanese garrison north of Shuri.
Although Ryukyu is not big, it guards the important road of transportation, has prosperous trade, and is rich in sulfur and sugar. Ryukyu's lacquerware is also famous. After the Japanese arrived, they directly controlled the most profitable things in their own hands. Most of the sulfur purchased by An Guojun was mined from Ryukyu.
After Lu Mingyue, Zou Tong and others learned the details, they all gritted their teeth and hated the shamelessness of the Japanese pirates! Now that they finally had the chance, they spread all their anger on the Japanese.
"Brothers, I heard that many of us are bachelors! After defeating the Japanese pirates this time, we forced the Japanese pirates to give away women to everyone. I won't say anything else, I guarantee that you can choose your three wives and four concubines!" Zou Tong shouted loudly.
When many people heard this, they couldn't help but shine. Yang Kun and the others even said: "This idea is good. Anyway, we have become abandoned people in the Celestial Empire. We should hurry up and start a family and start a career!"
While discussing, they laughed, and gradually became more and more explicit. They even talked about how Japanese women obeyed, and even encouraged their husbands to find people outside, like weasels stealing chickens.
Bang!
Lu Mingyue shook the whip hard and said loudly: "Give me a little serious. If you can't win, you will lose any dreams!"
As they approached the Japanese army's garrison, everyone became quiet, their faces were grim, waiting for the arrival of the battle.
An army also appeared opposite them. Some of them were holding bird guns, some holding samurai swords, wearing kimonos, and white cloth strips on their foreheads, and they also pressed towards the coalition forces.
These Japanese people are not tall, generally around 1.4 meters, but the years of fighting tempering make them very strong. The guy in the lead is called Yasuo Hirata. His grandfather was an old Japanese pirate and died at the hands of Qi Jiguang. His father participated in the battle to invade Korea and died in the sea, and his body was not even recovered.
Even so, this guy has not taught any lessons. Since childhood, he has heard the older generation of Japanese tell the story of how prosperous and prosperous the land of the Central Plains of the Celestial Plains were! Gold and silver were everywhere, and beauties were full of people. Yasuo Hirata had always had a dream, that is, he could kill the land of the Central Plains like his predecessors and take the most prosperous land in the world for himself.
Now that he finally had the opportunity to compete with the Celestial Army, Hirata seemed particularly excited.
"Warriors, today, defeat the Ming army and the Ming Dynasty entered the Central Plains!"
This guy shouted arrogantly, with more than 3,000 people, and the total strength of both sides was nearly 6,000. It was nothing to the huge Central Plains, but it was already quite amazing to Japan.
He was densely packed with people, and the blood in Hirata was boiling. He pulled out the samurai sword left by his grandfather and waved it forward.
These Japanese people screamed, waved their shining samurai swords, and rushed to the front. The first one to fight them were Ryukyu soldiers. There were only two hundred of them equipped with muskets, and the rest were long spears.
Sparse gunfires and the Japanese kept falling down, but these Japanese didn't hesitate. The more they died, the more they could arouse their fierceness. These guys rushed forward desperately.
Behind them were bird gunners, constantly shooting at the Ryukyu soldiers, and many Ryukyu soldiers fell to the ground.
Lu Mingyue looked at Qianli's eyes and couldn't help but curl her lips. She smiled and said to Shang Pei: "See, these Japanese pirates look very cruel, but they are just brave and fierce. They have never experienced large-scale combat and do not know how to cooperate. No matter how many such troops are, they are useless! In the late stage of the Qi family army, they could use a few soldiers, or even zero deaths, in exchange for the lives of hundreds of Japanese pirates. Now it seems that it is not difficult!"
Shang Pei is usually quite brave, but when she really arrived on the battlefield, the pungent smoke and bloody eyes were everywhere, and she was trembling all over and couldn't help but cover her eyes.
"Sister Lu, don't tell me the tactics of war. I don't understand anyway. You can eliminate these Japanese pirates as soon as possible!"
"Hahaha, it's a group of living people at least, so it's not so easy to kill!"
Lu Mingyue smiled and said, "Wait, I will definitely not let a Japanese pirate go."
It has to be said that the Japanese soldiers are indeed sophisticated, especially when fighting with hand-to-hand combat, they are even more brutal. They broke through the blockade of the muskets and entered the infantry formation of Ryukyu.
The two sides began a bloody battle, and the sound of howling ghosts filled their ears. They played the samurai sword like lightning, and the sword was fatal and merciless!
Not only are they merciless to the enemy, but they are not even merciless. In their eyes, they only have the lives of their opponents, but not their own! At the beginning of the fight, dozens of Ryukyu soldiers died tragically on the spot.
"Calm down, don't be afraid!"
"Hold your weapons tightly and attack the Japanese pirates together!"
The consultants shouted desperately, wielding their swords to kill the deserters. The Ryukyu soldiers finally regained a trace of rationality. They held the spear tightly, and the people in the first row almost closed their eyes and stabbed them.
"ah!"
Suddenly, more than a dozen Japanese pirates were stabbed and fell to the ground in pain. When these Ryukyu soldiers saw that the arrogant Japanese pirates were actually stabbed to death, they were all shocked.
"Die, die, really die, I'll kill the Japanese pirates!"
"Don't scream at that ghost, keep killing me!"
The Ryukyu soldiers who had recovered a trace of confidence desperately waved their spears and stabbed them at the Japanese pirates one by one. As the saying goes, one inch long and one inch stronger, they finally stabilized the front line.
At this time, the Japanese also fought hard, and more and more people rushed up to fight with them. The Japanese were experienced and were very desperate. The Ryukyu soldiers had better discipline and had better weapons. The two sides were evenly matched.
The blood stained the ground red, and the corpses were layer by layer. After more than two hours of hard work, more than 300 Ryukyu soldiers were killed and injured. If they hadn't fought on the local area, they would have dispersed long ago! The Japanese were not easy, but they relied on the advantage of the number of people and finally gradually gained the upper hand. As long as they work harder, the Ryukyu soldiers would be finished.
Lu Mingyue stood on the high ground and saw everything in her eyes. This girl was cruel. Although she, Shang Pei, had a good relationship, but when she arrived at the battlefield, the Ryukyu soldiers were still cannon fodder in her hands!
Finally, the time was almost done. Lu Mingyue suddenly drew out her sword and shouted loudly: "An Guojun, attack!"
Suddenly, a regiment led by her personally rushed forward, and the exhausted Ryukyu soldiers were finally relieved. They hurriedly retreated from both sides.
"shooting!"
More than 120 steps away, the soldiers of the Anguo Army suddenly fell to one leg and pointed their guns at the Japanese.
When the gunshots rang, a row of Japanese people fell to the ground. The guys' eyes were wide open until they died, as if they were asking: Master Amaterasu, how could their muskets hit so far!
The Anguo Army did not give them time at all, and they immediately had a second round of shooting. Most Japanese people couldn't even get armor, and their flesh and blood faced the lead balls, without a doubt. As long as they were shot, there was only a dead end.
"Bird gun, bird gun!" The Japanese commander shouted desperately.
Suddenly, the Japanese bird gunners rushed to the front and wanted to fight back, but the maximum range of the bird guns in their hands was only about a hundred steps. Before they could rush to the front of An Guojun, they were easily shot to death. It was easier than eating melon seeds.
The army easily crushed forward, and the uninterrupted lead balls hit the Japanese pirates. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of Japanese were shot dead. Even the brave soldiers would be brave enough to face one-sided massacre.
