Zhao Xin's words did not have an immediate effect. It was not until a few months later, when the propaganda department broadcast the matter of Prince Zhao's going to the countryside with great fanfare in every village and town that the Fu Mingtai family finally came to terms with it.
.He immediately ran to the mountains and told Dawa and others, which shocked everyone in Dawa's tribe and was dumbfounded.
For the border residents of all ethnic groups and even ordinary people under the rule of Beihai Town, Zhao Xin's status is like that of a superior emperor. Such a "noble status" person can actually eat and chat with ordinary people at the same table without any pretense, which makes Fuming
Tai, Dawa and others were filled with emotion.
Recalling what Zhao Xin said to the three of them that day, Dawa, Nayanzhuo and others finally made a decision. They went down the mountain the next day and contacted the civil affairs clerk. It didn't take long for them to go down the mountain with their reindeer and settle down.
The town hall of Humar Town also learned from past lessons. With the assistance of the local Beihai garrison, it built a two-kilometer-long aqueduct to divert mountain spring water to the settled villages of the Ewenki people for the convenience of reindeer drinking. For reindeer love
In the case of eating willow leaves, the Civil Affairs Bureau issued an order prohibiting the arbitrary cutting of willow trees around settlements.
In those days, the Northeast was vast and sparsely populated, and wild beasts were everywhere. There was no such thing as poaching in another time and space. In addition, Beihai Town opened the use of muskets to border residents two years ago, allowing them to effectively prevent their own
Livestock are harmed by wild animals. Of course, all weapons sold are numbered and registered and inspected regularly.
Time came to early September 1791. As the northwest wind gradually picked up, Zhao Xin issued an order to send seven modified thousand-ton Guangzhou ships south to replace the Thor and Beihai No. 1 and No. 2 that were about to return to Beihai Town for overhaul.
These seven ships were all brought back from Siam by Zheng Yi. They were all equipped with diesel engines and the hull structure was re-reinforced. Six of them were equipped with 16 75mm guns, and the other one was modified.
oil supply ships. Although these modified Guangzhou ships are not as good as Beihai No. 1 and No. 2, they are enough to deal with the Dutch Galen ships.
The East Indies also produce oil, but the land oil deposits are all on Sumatra. It is currently under the rule of the indigenous Sudan and is extremely closed and has very backward transportation conditions. If Beihai Town wants to exploit crude oil there and refine it, it must establish a stronghold along the local coast.
, it can’t be done right now.
Three of the seven refitted ships heading south will be deployed to Batavia, and the other three and supply ships will be deployed in Hoi An and Kan Ling O in Annan. By the way, the commander of the local fleet heading south is Zheng Wenxian, who has already
Zheng Qi, who was renamed Zheng Yaohuang, also became the captain this time.
Although Zheng Yi's qualification as fleet commander was only temporary and he could only command three ships in Bacheng, he was still better than Guo Xuexian. After receiving the order, Zheng Wenxian and Zheng Yaohuang were in a very happy mood. The first thing they did after returning home was
It means taking your wife and children together to burn incense on the ancestral tablets to comfort the spirits of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty.
They also had another mission when they went south this time, which was to assist He Xiwen's troops in encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Shimazu family who had fled to the islands in northern Okinawa.
On August 27, Zhao Xin received a battle report from Wan Zao from Demizuro. He Xiwen and his men had defeated the Shimadzu family forces entrenched in the Sakishima Islands and Okinawa Main Island, and were currently recovering the remaining troops. However,
The only fly in the ointment was that because the Shimazu family held Prince Shomu hostage and Sun Ningyu resisted, the Shuri Castle palace was destroyed in the war, and King Shomu and his grandson Shoon were kidnapped by Shimazu Sainobu.
Since Deng Fei and the others left last time, Shimazu Sainobu used a large number of civilians to urgently build two forts in Naha Port, and also deployed six 8-pound cannons bought from the Dutch. When He Xiwen's fleet
After crossing the Taiwan Island in a fierce manner, the far-sighted patrol stationed on the Sakishima Islands discovered them and quickly lit a beacon fire alarm.
Knowing that something was wrong, Shimazu Sainobu immediately issued an order on behalf of King Shomu to mobilize the military and civilians of Naha, Shuri and other places. He equipped his samurai with matchlocks, and distributed swords, guns, bows and arrows to the soldiers and civilians of Ryukyu, and strictly ordered who
Those who dared to escape were killed on the spot. However, when the five 75mm cannons in He Xiwen's fleet opened fire, the six bronze cannons on the fort were blown up one after another, causing heavy casualties to the defenders.
The recruited Ryukyu people had never seen such a bloody scene, and they dispersed in a hurry. Even the supervising team composed of Shimadzu samurai could not stop them. The Naha leader Miyahira Shinun who was in charge saw that the situation was not good, so he led
The men retreated to Naha Castle.
The attack on Ryukyu and the annihilation of the Shimazu family was the first time He Xiwen and his brothers fought as members of the Northern Navy after they surrendered. For the bright and promising future in his mind, He Xiwen charged forward in every battle after landing ashore.
Holding two guns, they killed people when they were blocked, and they were completely ready to kill the Buddha. Moreover, under the powerful fire support of the Marine Company, the pirates with more than 1,500 people were screaming like chickens.
Then they entered Naha Port.
The landing went smoothly, but the Shimazu family did not live for nothing. When faced with life and death, all the samurai also risked their lives. Although they could not defeat the regular army of Beihai Town, they were still evenly matched with the pirates.
Although He Xiwen's men were equipped with a lot of flintlock guns captured in Bacheng, they were not trained enough and fought chaotically. Moreover, the Shimadzu family also had a lot of firearms. You must know that the "iron cannon" produced during the Warring States Period
Tanegashima was originally under the rule of the Satsuma clan. Although Southern Kyushu had been ruled by the Sendai clan, the blacksmith shop on Tanegashima had always been in secret communication with the Shimazu family.
After three days of siege and street fighting, He Xiwen's troops finally captured Naha City at the cost of more than 200 casualties. When He Xiwen posted a notice in Naha City, he told the local people that the North Navy was coming to expel
After the Shimazu family restored King Shomu's rule, the Ryukyu people turned from fear to joy, and they all ate pots of rice wine to welcome the "king master".
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Before setting off, Deng Fei had sternly warned He Xiwen and his men that after landing, they must not rob or rape Ryukyu people, and they must not seize the residences of local people.
Things must be paid fairly; otherwise, once discovered, the Marine Company has the right to enforce battlefield discipline and shoot directly.
Although the pirates are full of complaints about this, they can sing whatever songs they want on any mountain. What's more, the treatment of the Northern Navy is quite good. Although formal training has not started yet, the treatment is already equivalent to that of new recruits; they are well fed and clothed.
It was also equipped with a health worker, which made the pirates who were poor fishermen burst into tears.
The attack on Shuri was different from the attack on Naha. The artillery on the ship was simply out of reach. Fortunately, the Cai family and the Cheng family of Kume Village who came after hearing the news were very helpful. They found more than 20 cattle and then unloaded the artillery from the ship.
After pushing and pulling, it was transported to Shuri Castle.
With the firepower of the 75mm cannon and two mortars from the Marine Battalion, Shuri Castle's defense was like paper. As the city defense was breached, the Shimazu family samurai and the Ryukyu troops who supported them retreated to the palace.
He Xiwen took a look and said, stop talking nonsense and keep bombarding! As you can imagine, the result was that the large courtyard that took nearly three hundred years to build was eventually destroyed by the war. The decoration was extremely gorgeous and served the three generations of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong.
The main hall with the imperial pen plaque had its roof blown down, turning it into a dangerous building.
After the city was broken, Cai Shichang, the Zijin doctor, temporarily took over the position of the Third Secretary (National Prime Minister). He immediately eliminated political opponents with the support of He Xiwen, and captured and imprisoned those ministers who were pro-Shimazu family.
Although Shuri was liberated, the next biggest problem still had to be rescuing the kidnapped King Shangmu and Shangwen. Although the main island of Ryukyu was not big, Shimazu Sainobu had a fleet. After that, they started fighting with He Xiwen and others at sea.
guerrilla.
In order to prevent the Shimadzu family from resurrecting and completely cut off their presence in the Ryukyu Islands, after clearing out the remnants of the Shimadzu family on Okinawa, He Xiwen took the fleet up to Tanegashima and down to the southeastern islands of Taiwan.
, searching and suppressing one island after another.
On September 7, Zheng Wenxian's southbound fleet arrived at Izumi County on Kyushu Island. After a short rest, they immediately headed south to join the clearing operation.
Although Shimazu Sainobu had spent time on the Ryukyu Islands and was familiar with the topography of each island, it was not a long-term solution without supplies. On September 12, the desperate remnants of the Shimazu family were blocked on Amami Oshima.
After a half-day bloody battle, the last 200 or so warriors of the Shimadzu family were all killed or injured.
After the defeat, Shimazu Sainobu knew that he would not end well even if he surrendered. This guy hated King Shangmu's collusion with Beihai Town and decided that he had to help him before he died, so he killed him with a knife.
The five-year-old heir, Shang Wen, was frightened by running around for days and fell ill with typhoid fever. He had a high fever and was already breathing in but not out, so he escaped the knife.
On the night of September 12, 1791, Shimazu Sainobu came to the imperial palace in Amami Oshima to have a "fan-kiri". His waiter thought he was the wrong person and beheaded him, and took him away and buried him overnight.
Since becoming a vassal of the Satsuma Domain during the "Battle of Keicho Ryukyu", the Ryukyu Kingdom has experienced almost two hundred years, until today it finally got rid of the control of the Shimadzu family.
In the early morning of September 13, soldiers from the Marine Company who rushed into the Imperial Palace compound found Shang Wen, who was dying. After diagnosis by the medical soldiers accompanying the team, it was confirmed that it was a bacterial infection and required immediate isolation and treatment. Because Shang Wen was only five years old, ordinary anti-inflammatory drugs
Bactericidal drugs cannot be used at all, and only intravenous fluids can be given to replenish moisture.
After Zheng Wenxian, who was in charge of the command, learned of Shang Wen's situation, he immediately reported to the staff via radio. The North Korean Navy Staff quickly called back and ordered Zheng Wenxian to immediately send a ship to send Shang Wen to Beihai Town for treatment. If it was later, he would be sent to Beihai Town for treatment.
It's too late. After a long fight, if there is no heir to the Shang family, the Ryukyu Kingdom will definitely be in chaos.
That morning, in a courtyard within the Amami Oshima Imperial Palace, a group of He Xiwen's men were discussing the newly captured female members of the Shimazu family.
These guys have been out at sea for several months, and there are really not many people who don't feel itchy when they meet women. They have to observe military discipline in Naha and Shuri and cannot harass and molest the people; but now they are facing a group of female captives, and they are trying their best to
Finally I couldn't bear it anymore.
"This is good, this is good! Big breasts and big butt, good for fertility."
"That's the best one. She looks like a young lady."
"Huh? Why is there a pregnant woman?"
Although the female members of the Shimadzu family are all daimyo - for example, Shimazu Sainobu's wife Umeki is the daughter of the Akita Domain Lord Satake Yoshitsune, the poor place of Satsuma Domain cannot afford to support nobles, and the governor's wife also has to work hard.
They do housework, raise chickens and grow vegetables, so they all look very strong and not weak.
At this time, all the female relatives were trembling with fright at the expressions of the pirates. Shimazu Sainobu's pregnant main room was surrounded by several maids, trying to prevent the pirates from approaching; as for the side room and other young female members, they were all kneeling with tears in their eyes.
Sitting on the ground, looking resigned to his fate.
After looking at it for a moment, a former pirate leader who was a platoon leader finally couldn't bear it any longer. With a greedy look in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to drag a young woman. The women were suddenly frightened and screamed.
Suddenly, a delicate-looking young woman suddenly stood up from among the female relatives kneeling on the ground. She pulled out a short sword shorter than the wakizashi from her arms. The horizontal sword stopped the guy who was about to step forward, and at the same time, she was frightened.
Others jumped.
"You bastards! Why don't you retreat quickly! What kind of hero is bullying a woman? I'll fight anyone who dares to come close again!" After that, the woman put the knife across her neck.
What the hell, a prisoner dared to stab him! At that moment, someone asked the accompanying Ryukyu translator what the woman said. When they learned the content, the dozen or so guys present immediately became angry.
"This little girl is pretty, please take her to my house tonight!"
"Fart! Send me to my room!"
"Oh, what are you two arguing about? Guessing, one person for one day."
"No! There are so many Japanese women, and he can't choose any one. Why do you have to fight with me!"
"Isn't this good? If Boss He finds out, will military law be enforced? I think it's better to forget it!"
"What do you know! These are prisoners, and dealing with them is not a violation of military discipline."
"What's the fuss about?!" Everyone turned around and saw that the second master Huang Zhongtong and several soldiers from the Marine Battalion separated from the crowd and came over. Seeing the real Northern Navy coming, the pirates immediately became enthusiastic, nodding and bowing, smiling and saying hello.
When Huang Zhongtong asked the interpreter present what happened, he couldn't help but sneer. He walked up to the woman and said: "You can't wait for a bunch of homeless dogs. We, the Bei Navy, will not kill innocent people, so we will spare your lives. You are
Whose girl dares to verbally abuse?!"
"Master Huang said it well!"
"Fight like hell! Let's sell all these women to a brothel! Let's all share the money!"
"That's right!" All the pirates suddenly felt that this was the most creative thing to say, and for it to be beneficial, everyone must share in it.
Although the woman couldn't understand the dirty words of the people in front of her, she could guess something from their expressions. Her face turned pale and her lips trembled slightly. But when she heard the sobbing of the women behind her,
, finally his heart stopped, and he pointed the knife at Comrade Huang Zhong and said: "I am the thirteenth generation head of the Shimazu family of Kajiki, the only daughter of Shimazu Chilan County, and the fiancée of Zhaowangdian of Beihai Town!"
As soon as he said this, all the women kneeling on the ground looked at the woman in shock.
"What did she say?" Huang Zhongtong saw the woman mumbling a lot and quickly asked the translator next to him.
After the translator finished speaking, there was no other sound in the courtyard except the faint sobbing of the women. Everyone was dumbfounded. Prince Zhao’s fiancée? Isn’t that a princess who has no family ties? How come Prince Zhao still has a Japanese wife?
At this moment, someone heard a "hiccup" sound coming from their throats, and the two guys who had been fighting to get the woman into their room felt weak in their legs and almost collapsed on the ground.
Huang Zhongtong turned his attention to the soldiers from the Marine Battalion who came with him and asked: "Brother, do you know about this?"
Several soldiers from the Marine Battalion also looked surprised. Some shook their heads and said they didn't know, while a soldier who had followed Zhao Xin to fight in Kyushu said: "It seems like something is really going on."
"you sure?!"
"I heard this from the commander before, but I'm not sure about the details."
Huang Zhongtong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in his heart that if he is not afraid of 10,000, he is just afraid of the worst. It is just fake. If this is true, it will ruin Boss He's big business. He immediately said to one of his men: "Find a place for these women to live." If you are in good custody, you must treat each other with courtesy, and do not neglect food and drinks! No one is allowed to harass! Anyone who violates the order will be punished according to military law!"
Not long after, Zheng Wenxian, who was at the temporary headquarters, received the report from Huang Zhongtong. He was stunned. After thinking about it, he asked his cousin Zheng Yaohuang to be found. The two found a secluded place and discussed it in whispers. long time.
"Brother Yi, you are the commander-in-chief, and it is up to you to make the decision."
"What should I do? I'm so worried!"
Zheng Wenxian was in trouble! He felt that this matter could not be reported to the general staff. If Princess Zhao knew about it, the matter would become a big deal. Although concubines are not allowed in Beihai Town, is King Zhao an ordinary person?
