A red firework quickly rose and shone crimson over the pitch-black sea, then gradually turned into darkness.

The original thunderous sound of shelling on the sea had come to an end at this time, and the dotted lights and torches slowly spread, making the originally dark ocean gradually have a little more hazy meaning.

The Hongtang warships, which had received the armistice signal, gradually converged in the direction of Wu Daofu's six warships under the guidance of the lights, and at the same time, the drumbeat and the light signal to distinguish friend and foe echoed among the brightly lit sea ships of each other.

The battle with the Japanese coalition has finally come to an end because of the sky, although there is no definite battle result to report to the foolish girl, but judging from the news that everyone has summarized, the losses of this group of Japanese coalition forces this time will not be too small.

"Report to the regiment commander, Battalion Commander Zhao captured a Ryukyu Kingdom guard, and he said that there is something important to report to you!!" Wu Daofu, who was still reminiscing about the hearty naval battle during the day, was interrupted by a soldier who knocked on the door at this time.

"Oh, what important person did Xingdou catch over there, and he brought it to me this big night?" Just ended the battle, according to the Hongtang naval battle ethics, in the dark night can not fully verify the situation, Wu Daofu's flagship itself should be kept secret, at this time Zhao Xingdou went against the rules of conduct and came with a prisoner, which really surprised Wu Daofu: "Then go and bring them in!" ”

"Yes."

Not long after, Zhao Xingdou, under the leadership of the guards, escorted a man with a dark face, a strong body and a little wild, and at the same time his hands were tied behind him.

"Xingdou, this big night, you brought this guy to me, what is the important thing?" As his henchman for many years, Zhao Xingdou's character Wu Daofu is also very clear, he is not a person who does not know the rules.

"Let this strong man say it himself!" Zhao Xingdou's face was hesitant, and he replied with a somewhat overwhelmed look.

"The hero is polite, the lower official is Shang Zhong, the imperial guard under the command of the king of Shangning of the Zhongshan Kingdom of the Ryukyus, this time he followed the dog thief general of the Wa Kingdom to attack the hero's fleet with Kayama Hidaka, which is really the last resort of the king of my family, and please don't blame the hero!" The man named Shang Zhong in front of him was not fluent, but his pronunciation was standard official Chinese, which couldn't help but make Wu Daofu look at it a few more times.

"It turned out to be a royal guard, disrespectful and disrespectful, but I don't know why the guard talked to us this time?" A royal guard suddenly appeared in front of Wu Daofu and the ordinary people, which really made Wu Daofu have to be cautious, and at this time he was sitting in danger and trying to maintain his demeanor.

No wonder Zhao Xingdou had to come to the door on this big night, although this so-called Ryukyu Kingdom may not be much bigger than the Great Yuan where their Hongtang is located, but Wu Daofu has seen extraordinarily in recent years, and he can still know that this Ryukyu Kingdom is a naturalized dynasty officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, if you knew that the person in front of you was a royal guard, Wu Daofu and the others would tremble in the face of this person, but now Wu Daofu and others, who are gradually broadening their minds, although they have a lot of awe, they are neither humble nor arrogant in the face of this guard.

"The hero saw it, and the lower officials came to see it, but there was a great good thing to say that the hero and others knew about it, as for how to decide in the end, it depends on whether the hero has the courage or not!" Although this guard was a little disappointed that a folk pirate was still indifferent to his identity, but he had taken on a heavy responsibility, but he also quietly completed the observation of such pirates, and became more and more satisfied with their expressions.

The battle during the day has made this royal guard see the strength of the other party, although it cannot be said that it is devastating and decaying to strangle the Japanese coalition army, but its strong maritime strength is undoubtedly revealed, much stronger than the sailors of their Ryukyu Kingdom, and much better than the sailors of the Japanese people.

"Oh, what a beautiful thing it is that you need one of your royal guards to come and deliver the news?" Wu Daofu was puzzled in his heart, but he asked calmly on his face.

"I'm ashamed to say that I'm also incompetent and my subordinates are incompetent, and more than ten years ago, I let the thief Shimazu Iyoshi of Kagoshima in the Japanese country seize some tricks and brazenly send troops to attack my Ryukyu Kingdom. Although our soldiers fought bravely, the thieves were sharp in their iron cannons, and they defeated our Ryukyu king's army and fled, and finally even our Ryukyu king's capital Shuri was broken by the thieves, and they plundered for seven days and seven nights, and captured our king, King Shangning, to Kagoshima, where the old man was located, and imprisoned him for more than three years, until he forced my king to sign a humiliating contract to renounce the Amami Goshima Islands. Shang Zhong said this, the look of shame and guilt in his eyes could not be concealed, but in Wu Daofu's eyes, it made him sigh, even if he was a prince, if he had no strength, he was just a person who could be slaughtered.

"For what happened to the King of the Ryukyus, I and other Ming disciples also deeply regret it, but I don't understand what the Shang guards and us and other civilians have in talking about such things, but what is the purpose?" Wu Daofu had some guesses in his heart, but without the other party's affirmative answer, he was not sure, and his guess was also a bit bold, and it was not for him to make a final decision.

"Our subordinates are incompetent, so that our king is still under the control of the Shimazu clan, and now I suddenly see the heroic posture of the hero and others, I can't help but admire in my heart, but also want to get rid of the hero, help me and other Ryukyu children to set things right, and regain the freedom of my king, when the time comes, tens of thousands of people in my Ryukyu Kingdom will praise the hero's great kindness, and at the same time, my king will inevitably give the hero an official and a knight, and give countless gold and silver!" Suddenly, Shang Zhongshi, who had a heavy responsibility, made earth-shattering words, which shocked Wu Daofu, Xiao Xiurong and others present, and they didn't know how to continue.

To be honest, when he learned Shang Zhong's identity, Wu Daofu vaguely felt that something big would happen, but he never expected that the other party would ask a group of pirates for help, you must know that they are also the royal family recognized by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not the existence that these mud legs can touch.

The long silence of the "............" made Shang Zhong, the envoy, feel worried, and now their Ryukyu Kingdom is really desperate at this time, both militarily and commercially by the Japanese Satsuma Empire, and even the suzerain, the Ming Dynasty, also because of the erosive situation in Liaodong and the overseas regions beyond the reach of the whip, turned a deaf ear to the letter of help sent by the Ryukyu royal family, and only sent an envoy to reprimand the generals of Samosa.
