The king of the Ryukyus, Shangning, was also in a hurry to go to the hospital, and in order to get rid of the control of the Japanese kingdom of Samosa, he now sent people to contact him whenever he had a little hope.

This time, he still had reservations, after all, the object he wanted to contact was a group of pirates who could not be on the table, so when he sent Shang Zhong to contact, he still cautiously instructed him that if Wu Daofu and their Hongtang were defeated, all this would be suspended.

But who would have thought that this Satsuma was very brave in the face of their Ryukyu soldiers, but when they reached the sea, they were still being cleaned up by this Hongtang, and they might have been defeated without any struggle.

It is precisely because of this that Shang Zhong, a loyal royal guard, took the risk of being killed, took the initiative to be Fu, found Zhao Xingdou, and under his guidance, found Wu Daofu.

"Although our Ryukyu royal family has been exploited by the Satsuma Island Tsu thieves over the years, after all, it is located in the center of the prosperous route, and other things may not be able to get their hands on, but this gold and silver and other things have still been accumulated, as long as Wu Yingying you help my Shang Dynasty regain the foundation, my king's return will definitely not disappoint you heroes!" Shang Zhong is full of expectations and apprehensions, their royal family has been weak for more than ten years, and now what they can get their hands on is a few treasures hidden by the royal family, if he can't move the other party with this, he can't come up with anything better.

was interrupted by Shang Zhong, Wu Daofu came back to his senses from the shock in his heart, the oil lamp in the warehouse was dim, and most of the faces of the men begging for a life at sea were dark, Wu Daofu's gaffe was not noticed by Shang Zhong, and after quietly peeking at Shang Zhong, Wu Daofu frowned, and said without making up his mind: "I'm sorry, Shang Guard, this matter is very important, it is not for me to decide, I am afraid that Shang Guard, you need to go with me, and go to see my Hongtang Hall Master to decide." ”

"I can't ask for what I want!" When Shang Zhong heard Wu Daofu's words, instead of being disappointed in the slightest, he responded with joy.

When the sky gradually brightened the next day, the battlefield that could not be cleaned last night was much cleaner today, and most of the floating corpses and debris were blown by the sea breeze at night to I don't know where to go, but even so, Wu Daofu and the others were still around the side of their own fleet, and once again caught a lot of Japanese and pirates who fell into the water yesterday but failed to escape back to the Japanese ships in time, as well as several Japanese ships that were hit by Hongtang's artillery fire last night and lost their power, and were half-floating and half-sunk on the sea.

By the time the remnants of the sea were finished, the sky had already entered noon, and yesterday's cloudy weather was suddenly clear today, and the blue sky was left in addition to the white clouds. If last night was like today, a little brighter, I can't say that the loss of this widow would be much more severe!

Originally, Wu Daofu still wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese coalition army last night to fight near the Yaeyama Islands in one fell swoop, but after meeting Shang Zhong last night, Wu Daofu no longer had the nature of the Eastern Crusade, but wanted to take Shang Zhong back to Jilong Port as soon as possible and hand over this hot potato to Li Tianyang to decide.

Subsequently, Wu Daofu and the others did not have time to completely sort out the results of yesterday's battle, so they hurriedly left this sea area with the team and sailed back towards the route home, which made the Japanese coalition army who was panicking after yesterday's defeat breathe a sigh of relief.

Even so, the results of this rough calculation alone also made Wu Daofu feel satisfied, at least after this battle, the combat power of their whale recruits and the strength of the six Western-style warships were tested in actual combat, and the results were good.

According to Wu Daofu's own statistics, there were no less than 30 Japanese warships that were crippled and sunk by them, which was almost equivalent to nearly 1/3 of the original Japanese fleet. Of course, there are naturally good and bad among them, such as the Japanese warship, the pirate fortune ship, and the difference is a fishing boat that can only accommodate more than ten or twenty people, etc., but don't forget, the most worthy of Wu Daofu's pride is that their Hongtang Whale Department has reaped such results, but their own losses are few.

In addition to the more than 100 sailors who were shot and wounded by the iron cannons fired by the Japanese warships and the bows and crossbows issued by the pirates, only in the end they wanted to expand the results of the battle, and more than 40 Hongtang warships lost less than 100 people in close combat. In other words, after the whole battle, the biggest loss of the Hongtang Whale Department was only more than 200 casualties, and the rest did not even lose a single warship.

After this battle, those pirates who were more or less forced to join it because of Hong Tang's strong strength, after seeing Hong Tang's combat power, no one could afford to have any other careful thoughts in their hearts, and even many people were still glad in their hearts that they saw the opportunity early, and did not really fight with Hong Tang, otherwise I am afraid that they would have been strangled by Hong Tang to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

When Wu Daofu and the others returned triumphantly and returned to Jilong Port, they were also just in time for the Chinese New Year's Eve of the third year of the Apocalypse, and the entire Jilong Port was immersed in a festive atmosphere.

Li Tianyang had already passed on the book through the flying pigeon, and roughly got the things that Wu Daofu transmitted back from the sea about Shangzhong and the king of Shangning in the Ryukyus. Therefore, as early as on the way back from Wu Daofu and them, Li Tianyang, Lu Yu, Tan Songyun, Hong Zhengkai and others had already discussed the matter discussed by Shang Zhong many times, but until Wu Daofu and them came back, Li Tianyang and they had not come up with a definite plan.

In addition, the Spring Festival is approaching, Li Tianyang and they should also give everyone a holiday, and Wu Jie has finally found a partner, ready to get married, and other factors, Li Tianyang simply decided to put Shang Zhong, the envoy of the Ryukyu Shangning King, aside for a while, not only to dry him, but also to allow them to use this time to think about whether they should help King Shangning!

In this way, Shang Zhong was brought to Jilong Port by Wu Daofu for more than half a month, seeing that this New Year was almost over, he couldn't see the real talker of this Hongtang, he was so anxious in his heart, but like a hundred claws scratching his heart, he couldn't be idle in the inn where he was placed in Jilong Port, asking and making friends everywhere.

Fortunately, although Li Tianyang and them hung this Shang Zhong, they did not put him under house arrest, so that he was still free to wander around the chicken coop port and inquire about things. It was precisely because of this that after seeing the bustling wharf of Jilong Port and inquiring about Hongtang's strength from the people who came in and out, he felt that this was the best opportunity for their Ryukyu Kingdom to get rid of Samosa's control.
