Shi Lang originally came to touch porcelain, so he didn't talk nonsense with the Japanese people at all, and this group of people broke into the "Ming Shang" post house with knives and guns viciously, what reason did they have to talk about.

He said in a deep voice: "The villain trespassed into the residence of the Admiral of the Great Ming Navy, with bad intentions, and you will do your best to protect your lordship!" ”

When the officer of the infantry army of the Navy Division heard this, he immediately ordered in a loud voice, "Release!" ”

Immediately, the fire in the small courtyard that was seven or eight feet square roared and shook the sky, and the flames that burst out from the mouth of the gun reflected the night red. At such a close distance, more than 200 flintlock guns were fired in a semi-encircled salvo, where did the little people in Kawakami still have a chance to escape?

After just a bang, only a dozen or so of the Japanese people who poured into the courtyard were still alive, and they were all so frightened that they didn't know what to do on the spot.

The Sailor Infantry Army was unrelenting, followed by a standard rapid reload, and the sound of the gun sounded again after just over ten breaths. Calm returned to the courtyard in an instant.

The twenty widows guarding outside the post house heard the movement in the courtyard, and they were still laughing and chatting, "Eh, my lord is working hard enough, you listen to the sound of this iron cannon, it is much louder than usual!" ”

"That's right, it feels like two or three hundred iron cannons are shooting."

"These Ming people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, go to the underworld and regret it......"

Before they could finish speaking, they saw dozens of people in the distance coming quickly with torches, and it was only when they got close that they saw that these people were all holding iron cannons in their hands! And looking at the outfit, it doesn't look like a Japanese person.

Some of them hurriedly picked up their muskets and fired, but most of the Japanese did not have time to make any moves, and the Ming soldiers who gathered at the front and back doors of the post house quickly eliminated them with a volley.

The Japanese people lacked armor in the country, and they used to use three-money muskets, and the earliest three-money muskets of the Ming Dynasty were imitated from Japan. It was a few shots fired by the Japanese people outside the post house on the cotton armor of the Ming army, but with the pitiful power of the three coins, no one was injured.

The astonishing noise near the inn could be heard far away in the silence of the night. When the sound of guns subsided, a local from Naha came with torches and lanterns to check on the situation. Twenty zhang away from the post house, there was soon a circle of people.

After a long while, Weng Dingdong took seven or eight Ryukyu officials and hurried to the post house under the escort of the guards. Because he was counting on the shopkeeper Zhang to fulfill his promise to report the invasion of Ryukyu by the Japanese slaves, he also put a lot of effort into inviting all the Ryukyu officials with heads and faces, and even brought in Cai Jin, the chief doctor who happened to be passing by Naha Port.

This Righteous Doctor is a high-ranking official of the third rank, second only to several legal divisions, and is quite influential in the Ryukyus.

When the two Ryukyu guards trembled and came to the post house to explain their identities, the closed door of the post house opened.

The corpses of the Japanese in front of the door had already been put aside, and sixty soldiers of the Sailor Infantry Army rushed out of the post house, lined up in two straight rows in front of the door, and smashed the guns in their hands on the ground with the password, making a neat "click" sound.

Then an officer walked up to Weng Dingdong and the others, stretched out his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please!" ”

Weng Dingdong and the others glanced at the bloody corpses of the widows not far away, glanced at each other, and all shook their heads and shrank back.

Before the Ming army officers could explain, the retainer of the Kawakami family, Nagase Shinroku, who had stayed at the Fan Commission, hurriedly arrived with a dozen people, apparently also hearing the news.

When Nagase saw the corpses of his own people, he hurriedly gathered around the Ryukyu guards to find a sense of security, and then pointed at the Ming army and said, "You, you are so bold that you dare to kill the samurai of my Satsuma Domain in Naha!" Don't hand over Kawakami-sama yet......"

"It was you guys who broke into the post house just now?" Shi Lang walked out of the post house surrounded by a group of infantry soldiers, and pointed to the group of widows, "Is that person's name Kawakami?" It's really daring, this official didn't go to you to trouble, and you dare to come again?! ”

Cai Jin, the Ryukyu Orthodox Doctor, seemed to feel a little bit of taste, and hurriedly saluted: "Dare to ask, who is Your Excellency?" ”

The officer on the side signaled to Shi Lang: "This is Lord Shi, the squire of the Ming Rite Department." Because the sailor still has an important task, it is not appropriate to expose his identity when he "touches porcelain".

"That's not right!" Nagase saw Shi Lang during the day and shouted, "He is a businessman, surnamed Zhang, and he came to pursue the blackmail ...... in the afternoon."

"Nonsense!" Shi Lang frowned and motioned behind him, "Take the official seal letter." ”

"Yes."

The documents and official seals have been prepared for a long time, and they are all made by the officials, which is definitely a "fake proof" that is more real than the real thing.

Cai Jin respectfully took the seal letter and checked it carefully with a torch, and nodded to others: "It is indeed an adult from the Heavenly Empire." ”

When the Ryukyu officials heard that it was the Daming Rite Minister, they immediately looked at each other excitedly, and their faces were full of joy.

"Shopkeeper Zhang" became a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty?! Shinroku Nagase was taken aback, knowing that he should have been put on a role, but his lord's life and death were unknown, so he couldn't just leave, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Even Ming officials can't kill people casually in Naha!" You're too domineering, let us Kawakami-sama go! ”

"Overbearing?" Shi Lang smiled and pointed to the post house behind him, "In the middle of the night, the official was resting in his post house, and the river brought more than 100 murderers to break into the post house and harm the official!" Fortunately, the guards were alert, so they didn't succeed.

"And as a result, you, the murderer, said that I was domineering? Hehe, it's like a vicious dog biting back. ”

He pointed to the courtyard again, "These widows must have taken a fancy to the property brought by the official, so they came to rob it in the middle of the night, and you can go to the museum to check it." ”

With that, he took the lead and returned to the inn. Weng Dingdong and the others looked at each other again, and finally stepped forward, and saw that the bolt of the main entrance of the post house had been broken, and someone should have broken in. And there are many widows in the courtyard, all dressed in black, armed with knives and guns, obviously not here as guests.

Nagase also had the courage to bring people in, and found Kawakami's body in a moment, and saw that all his men were dead here, so he immediately pointed at Shi Lang and said: "You said that Lord Kawakami attacked the post house, why did all the people who died die from my Satsuma Domain?" ”

"Humph! There are also many casualties among my guards, and I have been carried to the backyard, so I still have to leave it to you to see?! ”

In fact, the Ming army made sufficient preparations, and completely dug a pit and waited for the Japanese to jump, so there was not even a single injury.

He pointed to the Japanese people, "Go and tell Tokugawa Iemitsu that if I don't have a satisfactory statement, this matter will never be settled!" ”

He pulled up the Ryukyu official again and said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency has also seen that this official is a way through Naha on official business, but he was attacked by the Japanese for no reason, and his guards suffered dozens of casualties!" Bear witness for me......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the rumbling sound of cannons coming from the west side of the port, and a smile flashed on his face.

But Shinroku Nagase was stunned, and immediately ran desperately towards the port, shouting: "Can't fire!" That's the official ship of the Ming Dynasty! ”
