The most luxurious inn in Naha has been fully purchased by a wealthy merchant of the Ming Dynasty.

"General," a hundred generals of the sailor infantry saluted Shi Lang, "two hundred people have entered this post house, and there are more than a hundred people in the port. ”

"You're not seen, are you?"

"Back to the general, I ordered them all to pretend to be moving laborers, four people in and three people out, so that they would not be discovered."

"Okay, it's still bright now, let's rest first."

"Yes!" The officer answered, and then hesitated, "General, what if the Japanese are not fooled?" ”

Shi Lang was about to say that there were a lot of ways to provoke Kawakami in the back, when he saw a guard report, "General, that overlord asks to see you." ”

"Oh? I'm thinking I'll go back to him later. Let him in. ”

"Yes!"

Weng Dingdong entered Shi Lang's house, first bowed habitually, and suddenly remembered that something was wrong, so he changed to a salute, "Shopkeeper Zhang, why are you still in Naba?" If you don't leave, it's too late! ”

Shi Lang smiled slightly, "Why am I leaving?" ”

"That Kawakami is threatened by you, and he will definitely harm you!" "I've arranged for someone to take you out of port, and you let your ship meet to the west of Naha." ”

Shi Langqi said: "Why do you want to help me? ”

"I can see that Shopkeeper Zhang is a bold person, and he must have a wide network in the Ming Dynasty." Naba Guan said, "The Ryukyu world is a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty, and the upper friends are respectful." Now the Japanese slaves ......"

When he said these two words, he subconsciously looked around, and when he saw that there were no outsiders, he continued: "The Japanese slaves raised troops to invade my land, forced me to cede the ghost world, the big island, the island of Tokushima, the island of Yongqi, and the five islands of the five islands, forced my people to pay a heavy tax on the head, and then set up a ban to carry it out, even the three adults of the law department also need the nod of the slaves to go to the post!" I was so deceived so much! ”

The "Law Division" is the highest ruling body in the Ryukyus, and its power is greater than that of the Ming Cabinet, but since the fourth year of Chongzhen, the officials of the Law Department have to be appointed by the Japanese.

Weng Dingdong pointed out the window indignantly, "Now that the people of Ryukyu are struggling to make a living, they have been knocked out by the Japanese slaves, and the people on the island are looking forward to the help of the Heavenly Empire to save my people from fire and water!" ”

He didn't wait for Shi Lang to say anything, and immediately continued: "I know that the shopkeeper Zhang is a trader, and with your conditions, it is impossible for the Japanese slaves to agree." But if you can return to the Ming Dynasty at once and tell the evil deeds of the Japanese slaves in the Ryukyus, I will write to the king, and your ship will dock at Naha in the future and deliver water and food to the free people of Naha, and you will not take a penny. In addition, all kinds of products on the island are offered at low prices. In this way, a boat can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.

"I also hope that the shopkeeper Zhang will be righteous and save my people!"

Shi Lang was noncommittal and said, "Lord Weng, can you do me a favor?" ”

"Please."

"Try to contact the Ryukyu officials, the higher the position, the better, and if there is a difference in this post house, you will bring everyone here."

Weng Dingdong shook his hand when he heard this, "I'm afraid that Shopkeeper Zhang has miscalculated." The Japanese slaves were brutal and didn't take the officials on the island seriously at all, not to mention the officials, even if the king was there, they would never blink an eye when they should kill. It's better for you to get out of here. ”

Shi Lang thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, you go and help me contact the Ryukyu officials, and try to have no connection with the Japanese slaves, and in these two days, if there is a change in the post house, you will let them come." And I promise to let the court know about the situation of the Ryukyus, what do you think? ”

He said in his heart that His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King had already made it clear about the matter of the Ryukyus, and he didn't just want to drive the Japanese out of the Ryukyus.

Weng Dingdong opened his mouth and said suspiciously: "If you are killed by a Japanese slave, how can you spread the news?" ”

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not so easy to die."

The overlord looked at his demeanor carefully, but it didn't seem like he was talking about it, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, a word is a deal!" ”

……

On the signal, the sailors dressed as ordinary maritime merchants saluted Liu Guoxuan and said: "General, there is a Ryukyu Guanbo who has come and said that they want to repair the dock and let us dock half a mile to the west." ”

"Oh?" Liu Guoxuan raised his eyes and looked west, and saw a low city on the high ground outside the port, and the reflection of the cannons on it was faintly visible.

He then remembered the matter of "touching porcelain" and couldn't help but smile heartily, "It seems that the prince's side has succeeded." These slaves were ruthless, not only asking people to die, but also not letting go of the boat. ”

He reached out and took the binoculars and looked at the western fort, but he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "The Japanese slaves want to defeat me with this cannon?" ”

I saw that above the fort were four bronze cannons, pointing in four directions. Judging by the fact that the caliber never exceeded six pounds, and the barrel was extremely short, it was obvious that the gunsmith was not confident in his skills, and he was afraid that if the barrel was longer, the pressure in the chamber would be too great, and the chamber would be blown up. However, with such a short gun body, there is naturally no need to expect too much from its range and power.

Since the Warring States period, Japan has attached great importance to arquebuses, but it does not like cannons, which are difficult to carry and require a lot of logistical assistance. Therefore, in the war of aggression against Korea, they were bombarded by the artillery of the Ming army. It was only since then that they began to step up their cannon casting, but the process was far behind.

Liu Guoxuan estimated that the cannon on the fort should not pose a threat to the seven-inch-thick hull of the wide signal, so he instructed the fire chief: "Just half a mile to the west as they said." If the Japanese slaves give themselves big gifts, why don't we? ”

He turned to the adjutant and said, "Order, all the sailors on the ship are on duty and ready for war at any time." ”

"Yes!"

……

That night, the right guard of Kawakami brought more than 100 Japanese soldiers with a black plus flag in the black circle on their backs, and only three or four torches were held along the way, and quietly but quickly touched the post house where the "shopkeeper of Zhang Ji" lived.

It's not that Kawakami doesn't want to bring more people, the Japanese have fewer soldiers, Shimazu has a total of more than 400 troops in the Ryukyus, and Naha has more than 200 soldiers, nearly half of whom are still in Naha Castle.

However, Shimazu Mitsuhisa, fearing that the Ryukyus would revolt, had already confiscated the armor and weapons of his army, leaving only a single sword and a sword for each person, and his combat effectiveness could not be counted on at all.

In addition, he was just dealing with a businessman, and it should be more than enough to have more than 100 foot lights.

When he arrived outside the post house, he first divided more than 20 people to guard the front and rear doors, and then kicked open the door, leading the Japanese soldiers to swarm in, shouting, "All the people in the hall are killed!" ”

The eighty Japanese foot rushed to the front yard of the post house, and suddenly heard a drum sound around him, and then hundreds of torches were lit at the same time, illuminating the post house as bright as day.

Then someone shouted, "Aim!" ”

Immediately let out a huge shout in unison, "Aim!" ”

Kawakami's right guard was shocked, and when he looked up, he saw that the three rows of black holes under the torch were pointing directly at him, and there were more than 200 of them, and there were short swords on the pipes, reflecting a dazzling light.

He subconsciously swallowed and spit, and said in a trembling voice: "You, what are you going to do......"
