343 King Shanning
The battle at Amami Oshima has actually come to an end, and at this time, the people of Kayama Hisaka are unable to go to sea, and Wu Daofu and they have no intention of continuing to attack the island for the time being.
The loss of Hongtang was also not small, and the several sea ships that had sunk before the Japanese people fled back to Amami Pier blocked the sea route into the port, making the trip to the island inconvenient.
Therefore, before the obstacles in the sea were cleared, Wu Daofu and the others were also ready to put aside the attack on Amami Oshima first, but turned the bow of the ship and went to Jingwu to sweep the Japanese and pirates who fled on the four surrounding islands.
Outside Amami Island, twenty warships that stayed behind to monitor and guard against the troops of Hisako Kayama stepped up to send water ghosts to salvage and clean up the sunken ships, while guarding and guarding the proceeds of the last war.
As for Wu Daofu, they took the rest of the more than a dozen warships to sweep away the Japanese people stationed on the other four islands of Amami. Compared with the heavily guarded Amami Island, the other four islands of Kayama Hidaka only randomly placed dozens of Japanese and more than 100 Ryukyuan people to guard against it, and in Wu Daofu, the others had already been transferred back to the main island of Amami by him.
In this way, Wu Daofu and the others eliminated the Japanese people on these islands without much effort, and helped King Shangning to recover their lost land.
In just one day's effort, the four islands that were originally occupied by the Japanese Satsuma had already fallen into the hands of Wu Daofu and them, and then Wu Daofu and they did not delay, and they did not even send garrisons, so they returned home with the captured Dao Dao and joined the rest of Hongtang outside Amami Island.
After that, Wu Daofu took advantage of the opportunity of Shang Zhong's return to report the news, and in addition to continuing to leave 20 warships to guard against Amami Island, other sea ships together with the captured proceeds sailed towards the main island of the Ryukyus.
Along the way, such a large fleet was naturally unnoticed, but by the time Shang Zhong and the others received the news, Wu Daofu and the others had already reached the sea outside the Shuri of the Zhongshan Kingdom of the Ryukyus, only twenty or thirty miles.
The frightened Shang Zhong, after being scolded by King Shangning, had to hurry off and go to the sea to intercept Wu Daofu and his party who were swaggering towards Shuri Castle.
By the time the angry Shang Zhong intercepted Wu Daofu, Wu Daofu and the others were already able to see the vast horizon where Shuri Castle was located.
"Head Wu, what do you mean by this, didn't you say that you won't expose the relationship between you and me before you conquer Amami Goshima? Why are you coming to my royal city so swaggering this time? "After being scolded by King Shangning, he thought that coming to report the good news would make King Shangning remember his goodness, but now it seems that it has become a wrong thing, so the resentment in this fashion loyalty can be revealed from his words to some extent.
"Shang Guard's words are wrong to blame us and others, you look at the huge pile of booty and prisoners we have captured in this battle, are you going to let my sons and daughters fight like this?" Wu Daofu had already thought of an excuse, and at this time, he was not afraid of Shang Zhong's questioning, pointed to the more than 30 thief ships behind him, and said helplessly: "Originally, we didn't have enough manpower, if we left some more people to guard this group of prisoners and warships, then do you want us to take this Amami Island?" ”
"............" Shang Zhong was speechless, this matter is indeed a difficult thing, but to be honest, so many captives, even if they are handed over to the Ryukyu Kingdom, it will be a burden: "Otherwise, we will give them directly to ......"
This Shang Zhong seems to be quite honest, but the method he came up with is too vicious. From the movement of his hand to his neck, Wu Daofu could naturally understand his thoughts, at that time, Wu Daofu's murderous aura turned in his eyes, but then he forcibly suppressed himself, just glared at Shang Zhong with a cold face and replied: "Lao Tzu Hongtang lost hundreds of sons, and I still want to absorb some good hands from this group of people to come in and replenish manpower, you are good enough, and you still want to destroy our good deeds!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the lower officials didn't expect that Regiment Commander Wu had this idea, otherwise the lower officials wouldn't have come up with this bad idea, it's really not my thoughtfulness!" Being glared at by Wu Daofu, Shang Zhong's whole person was a little colder, and he hurriedly said apologetically: "But even if that's the case, we can't drive this man and warship here, doesn't that let Satsuma know that this matter is related to my king?" ”
"Hey, you say, now that we have defeated more than 100 warships in Kayama Hisadaka, in addition to the main island, we have also helped you recapture the other four islands, as for the recovery of Amami Oshima, isn't it a matter of time?" Wu Daofu pursed his lips, glanced at Shang Zhong contemptuously, and then said nonchalantly: "Is there any obstacle to exposing the relationship between you and me one day earlier and one day later?" Do you think that people have no brains in Birch Mountain, and they don't know that you are the ones who instigated us to attack them behind our backs? ”
"Not to mention, after the last naval battle, Lao Tzu's ammunition and supplies are not enough, if you don't come to your king to help solve it, do you have to wait for us to transport it back from Jilong Port?" Wu Daofu is talking nonsense with his eyes open, although they used the shells diligently in the war, but there were other Hongtang warships to help them replenish the storage ammunition, even if they fought for another five or six days, their shells would not be lacking: "You, hurry back and report to your prince, let him quickly find us a place to take care of the prisoners, and then help us prepare more ammunition and materials, so that we can continue to go back to attack Amami Island, so as not to have a long night and dreams, and the reinforcements of Samobo will come back to meet the old man of Huashan." ”
"That'...... Then I will go back and report to my king, and ask Commander Wu to wait in this sea area for a while! Wu Daofu's reason made Shang Zhong speechless, and in the end, he could only let Wu Daofu wait for some time, so that he could go back and discuss with King Shang Ning.
"Go, go, go!" Wu Daofu waved his hand and motioned for Shang Zhong to go by himself.
Shang Zhong rushed back on the front foot, and Wu Daofu, who promised Shang Zhong to stay in this sea area, took the fleet and still took care of me towards Shuri Castle, and when Shang Zhong entered the palace and finished discussing with King Shang Ning, Wu Daofu had already surrounded the dock outside Shuri City with a group of sea ships.
"Forget it, and let them settle out of the city!" King Shang Ning was an old man who was too old, with the same short stature of the Ryukyuan people, and looked at Shang Zhong with a pair of cloudy eyes: "By the way, let our palace guards take action and get rid of the thieves of the Shimazu family!" ”
Understatement, with a hint of helplessness, although Shang Ningwang's eyes did not look stern, Shang Zhong's entire back was soaked with cold sweat, and he quickly replied obediently: "Yes!" ”
"If this thing is messed up, you won't come back!" King Shang Ning seemed to say something casually, and suddenly Shang Zhong's soul flew away.
The fifth watch, is it so capricious, don't you all encourage me?
