Li Tianyang's attack plan this time is clear, naturally there is no need for other cumbersome ships to accompany him, just the fleet composed of these ten "Yang Fan" warships is enough to give the Satsuma people a headache, not to mention that there is a fleet of 2,000 people from Wu Shu in Hongmen in the Ryukyu Sea to assist him!

Wu Shu's troops had been stationed in the five islands of Amami for more than half a year, and since receiving the order from Jilong Port, Wu Shu began to collect supplies in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and was looking forward to this day with great enthusiasm.

Stationed overseas for a long time, the Hongtang soldiers, including Wu Shu, have begun to feel homesick to varying degrees, and in this era when communication is basically based on roaring, it is really a torturous thing for the Hongtang soldiers to not be able to contact their families for most of the year.

King Shangfeng of the Ryukyus also vaguely heard some rumors, after being tricked by Hongtang last time and letting himself take over a large number of arms that were not very urgently needed, although King Shangfeng did not say anything on the surface, but from his subsequent aid to the Hongtang fleet and the Ryukyu fleet, he could still feel his dissatisfaction.

However, after hearing the rumors this time, King Shangfeng no longer felt that there was anything unpleasant about being frightened by the Hongmen people at that time and purchasing a large number of arms.

If he can defeat his biggest potential enemy once and for all, even if he lets King Shangfeng spend more money, think about the neglect of the Hongtang soldiers some time ago, King Shangfeng hurriedly sent people with a lot of supplies to appease him, so as not to get Hongmen to retaliate against him and cause other troubles.

Half a month has passed, Wu Shu is looking forward to the Hongmen fleet that King Yin Yin is looking forward to magnificently appearing in the territory of the Ryukyu Sea, but anyone who sees this fleet for the first time Ming people or Ryukyuan people will always be attracted by the huge hull of this fleet warship, densely covered with sails, and the heartfelt feeling of a strong fleet in his heart.

Even if the Ming Dynasty at this time lost the blueprints and skills of building treasure ships in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, they could not find a team that could compare to the carefully built fleet of Hongmen.

At the first glance of Hongtang's fleet coming from afar, King Shangfeng was conquered by the sailor of this answering device, and he even faintly regretted that since he succeeded to the position of king, he had been indifferent to Hongmen.

If he really knew that Hongmen was developing so rapidly and his strength was so strong, even if he had a good heart, King Shangfeng would never dare to have the slightest disrespect for the Hongmen people.

At the same time, King Shangfeng's desire to find an opportunity to recapture Iriomote Mishima also dimmed.

Without any further delay in Shuri Castle, everyone knew that the Satsuma Varsa Wai people must be full of shadows in Shuri Castle, and if they wanted to take the Satsuma Wa people by surprise, then Lu Yu would need to continue to hurry non-stop.

It was just that he replenished the supplies consumed in Shuri Castle, and then took advantage of the fact that in the middle of the night, the Hongmen fleet quietly set off again, and stepped up his horsepower to Kagoshima, where Satsuma was located, and did not even stop at Amami Castle along the way, let alone join Wu Shu and them.

However, Wu Shu was not surprised, long before the departure of Lü Yu's department, Li Tianyang had already brought Wu Shu their next order, as the wing of Lü Yu's expeditionary fleet, Wu Shu's department focused more on transporting and replenishing ammunition for Lü Yu's department, and assisting him in naval battles.

You must know that Wu Shu's 2,000 people have been stationed in the Ryukyu Sea for most of the year, and Satsuma, which has been eyeing the Ryukyu Kingdom, does not dare to take drastic actions again, and the reason is self-evident.

First, it is naturally because the strength of Wu Shu's naval division can be called the elite division in the waters east of the Ryukyus, and if you want to confront it and form a victory, you need to exceed at least half of the scale of Hongtang to have a chance.

Second, it was also the rash actions of the Satsuma that not only failed to make a contribution, but instead crippled the sailor team that they had managed to pull together again and again, and now they no longer dare to march westward and invade the Ryukyu Kingdom without the certainty of victory.

The head of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Iehisa, that is, the later generations called Shimazu Tadashi, because his uncle had the same name as himself, so he changed his name to Zhongheng, and when he learned that the Hongmen sailors invaded the sea frontier, it was already after the Hongmen sailors strangled a fleet of Samoto patrols to the sea.

Compared with the difficulty of Samoto to plant traitors and spies in Hongmen, Hongmen's gains in information channels are much greater.

He is very concerned about intelligence, and his investment is probably the largest in this era, and Samoto must trade with foreign countries in order to feed his army and nobles, so the intelligence officers of the Hongmen Outer Guard have long had a detailed understanding of the affairs in Samosa's territory.

Before sending troops this time, Li Tianyang ordered the foreign guards to have a detailed understanding of the army in the territory of Samosa, and it was normal for the first time to unexpectedly destroy a parade division composed of no more than three or five sea ships.

"Bastard! Bastard bastard! Shimazu Tadahiro's face was pale, and the generals below were silent, not daring to say more, facing the storm of Shimazu Tadashi.

The generals and ministers under the command of the Satsuma Domain really didn't expect that one of the powerful existences among the dozens of feudal daimyo in the Tang Tang Dynasty Satsuma Domain was now bullied by a non-governmental group, and it is not to blame that the head of the family, Shimazu Tadashidachi, was angry.

"You guys, you immediately come up with a solution for me, I will let this group of bastards go and never return, and pay a heavy price!!" He was blocked by the Hongmen army several times before, causing himself not only to lose the Ryukyu Kingdom that was already in his hands, but also to lose face in front of many daimyos.

"Hey!" Even if they knew that the Hongmen army must have come prepared to come to the door at this time, the two generals, including Shimazu Kuma and Kayama Hisadaka, who had dealt with Hongmen, were also silent and did not dare to speak out, for fear of provoking the fire.

However, they also knew that according to their intelligence about Hongmen, Hongmen was stronger than the naval fleet, but because of its civilian organization, it lacked too much experience in the source of soldiers and land warfare, which did not match their status as a strong army at sea.

Therefore, they were happy to see the Hongmen attack their territory, and the Satsuma warriors were weaker than the Hongmen at sea, but on land the situation was about to be reversed.
