Liang Jinsheng has been very unhappy lately. Because he turned out to be one of the officials of the Ryukyu Kingdom at the beginning. The Ryukyu Kingdom is sparsely populated and its people are simple. There wasn't much to do as an official at all, so he lived a comfortable life.

But after the Japanese came, it was different. They didn't let Liang Jinsheng be an official anymore, but accepted their own people as officials. But considering the enormous prestige he has in the local area, it doesn't bother him. Instead, they have to rely on him from time to time to solve some local problems. This gave Liang Jinsheng a lot of benefits, and it also made him very proud.

But after Liu Pei occupied the Ryukyus, things changed, and no one listened to him anymore. And he looked down on pirates like Liu Pei at all, thinking that they were the coarse characters of the vulgar people. Liang Jinsheng thought at first that he could easily steal power from Liu Pei with his own mind. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Pei immediately recognized his thoughts. And in the following period, Liu Pei did not give him any preferential treatment. This made him very unhappy.

So during this time, Liang Jinsheng had been in contact with the children of the Shang family, trying to elect a new Ryukyu king among them. But most of the children of the Shang family have adapted to their own lives and are unwilling to sit on that dangerous throne again. So no one responded to him at all, which made Liang Jinsheng very angry. But he didn't have a good way either. After all, he is not a royal family, and he does not have enough appeal, so he can only study at home depressed to entertain himself.

That night, not long after Liang Jinsheng had finished dinner, the servant came to inform that someone had asked to see him. This made Liang Jinsheng very pleasantly surprised! After all, no one has visited him for a long time.

Liang Jinsheng immediately met with this person. But he didn't know the person who came in, but a very ordinary person. It's so ordinary that you can't see it when you throw it in a pile.

Liang Jinsheng carefully looked at the visitor and said, "May I ask the distinguished guest's surname?" Is there anything wrong with coming to me? ”

The man said in stiff Chinese, "Mr. Liang, I am the leader of the spies sent to the Shimazu family. ”

Liang Jinsheng was taken aback when he heard this, and then he was happy in his heart. He had already guessed what the Shimazu family was sending someone to contact him for? It seems that the Shimazu family is preparing to send troops to retake the Ryukyus! He never thought that Liu Pei would be able to withstand the Shimazu family's army. After all, no matter how strong a group of pirates is, they can't compare to the regular army. If he can play a role in the battle of the Shimazu family to retake the Ryukyus, he may be able to get a position in the Shimazu family.

But he still said reservedly: "Then did you come to me for something?" I don't know what I need to do with the Shimazu family. ”

The spy said, "But I think it's necessary!" I have seen what Mr. Liang has done during this time. Mr. Liang, you have been working to re-assist a Ryukyu king, which is in the interests of our Shimazu family. That's why I'm here to see you. ”

Liang Jinsheng said with righteousness: "It is my responsibility to help protect my king!" It's a pity that the descendants of the Shang family are unwilling to stand up against that pirate and restore the honor of the Shang family! ”

The spy sneered and said, "It's okay. When the family's army landed, they were willing. ”

Liang Jinsheng was overjoyed when he heard the spy say this, but he still said lightly: "But this has nothing to do with me?" I'm just willing to assist the Shang family! ”

The spy said: "When the army of our family recaptures Ryukyu, a new Ryukyu king will be elected, and then Mr. Liang will be able to show his strengths!" And I've already contacted a group of internal responders. If Mr. Liang can also contact a group of people, and wait for the army of his family to pacify the Ryukyus, then his family will definitely be rewarded! ”

At this moment, Liang Jinsheng's heart was moved! But he still said slowly: "But how can you prove that you are from the Shimazu family?" ”

The spy smiled and said, "You don't think I'll take anything with me to identify myself, do you?" That's too dangerous! ”

Liang Jinsheng said in a low voice: "Then how can I trust you." ”

The spy reported the names of several widows and said, "You can go to them." They've agreed to be a response when the army arrives, as long as you get in touch with them. ”

Liang Jinsheng really knew the people the spies said. They were all merchants from the Wa Kingdom. Hearing this, Liang Jinsheng was relieved. So he said, "Well, I'll talk to them if I have the chance." ”

Liang Jinsheng sent the spy away, and he was overjoyed at home. The next day, he couldn't wait to find one of the Japanese merchants. When he pointed out that this Japanese merchant was Neiying, he frightened the merchant!

Liang Jinsheng saw that this person was frightened, and only then did he believe that that person was indeed a spy of the Shimazu family. So he also revealed his identity, he couldn't tell the name of the Japanese spies, but Liang Jinsheng knew that the Shimazu family had spies, so these Japanese still believed him. So under the introduction of the merchant, he met with several other businessmen. The two sides agreed on contact methods and plans and dispersed.

In fact, he didn't know that the spy who came to see him was not from the Shimazu family at all, but a spy sent by Liu Jiang. Liu Pei had long expected that the Shimazu family would send spies, so he deliberately sent those widows home. Just monitor them, waiting for the Shimazu family to get spies to throw themselves into the net.

Later, I found that someone was really contacting them, and after confirming that they were spies, I sent someone to pretend to be a spy to negotiate with Liang Jinsheng, and asked him to take the initiative to discuss the plan with those widows. If Liang Jinsheng was unwilling to be a Japanese spy, Liu Pei might spare his life. But this person actually took the initiative to join the Shimazu family for his official position. So in Liu Jiang's opinion, he is basically dead, and now he is waiting for him to jump out by himself.

After Liang Jinsheng returned home, he contacted many people who were in a similar situation to him. There were eight of them, and each family had several servants. In this way, they can also gather dozens of people. In this way, Liang Jinsheng's group of people waited with confidence for the arrival of the Shimazu family's army.

Just when Liang Jinsheng and the others felt that they were ready, the army of the Shimazu family officially set off.

This time, in order to recapture the Ryukyus, the Shimazu family can be said to have done everything they could. Not only 3,000 troops were dispatched, but also 1,000 iron cannons. And due to the lack of military spending, he also had to borrow a sum of money from merchants. If the war doesn't go well, the Shimazu family will have a hard time in the next few years.

This expedition was still Kayama Hisadaka as the general general. Although it is said that Kayama Hisataka is a little older, after all, he has been on a trip to the Ryukyus and is more familiar with the situation. So this time he was still chosen as the general general.

In addition, his lieutenant will be Yoshiyoshi Kono, the elder brother of Haruharu Kono! The reason why Kono Kamiyoshi was chosen was because he knelt in front of Shimazu Tadashi's door with a short knife in his hand, saying that if he was not sent, he would have to seppuku!

At the same time, Kono Kamiyoshi also told Shimazu Tadashi that his younger brother was definitely not such a stupid person and would not kill the family of King Shangfeng at will. There must be another reason for this. He will definitely find out the real reason for his trip to the Ryukyus. The Ryukyu Islands will also be thoroughly cleaned.

Because Shimazu Tadashi has already made a decision, the purpose of this crusade is to completely bring the Ryukyu Islands under the name of the Shimazu family. In Shimazu Tadahiro's view, King Shangfeng is dead anyway, so there is no longer a need for this archway, so simply use this war to completely clean up the descendants of the Shang family and completely annex the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Today is the day when the Shimazu family's army goes on the march. After some solemn etiquette, Hisataka Kayama and Yoshiyoshi Kono bid farewell to the governor and stepped onto the flagship of the fleet. The two of them wore a full set of samurai armor, which can be described as majestic.

Birshan's right hand slashed down hard, and shouted: "Go!" ”

One by one, the fleet left the dock. Slowly drifted away amid the cheers on the shore.

After leaving the harbor completely, Hisakama took off his helmet and held it in his hand, and began to feel the cool breeze on the sea. At this time, Kono Kamiyoshi came to the bow of the ship after inspecting the flagship, and when he saw Kayama Hisadaka taking off his helmet, he said, "My lord, the wind on the sea is very cold, please go to the cabin and rest." ”

Hisaka Hisaka didn't move, but said: "Kono-kun, I know that your brother is not a messer, and this incident in the Ryukyus is indeed very strange!" ”
