Standing in Urasoe Castle, Pan'anchi finally saw the light of hope for the unification of Ryukyu.
After days of fighting, the Shanbei Kingdom swept through the Zhongshan Kingdom with overwhelming force, and its army grew from the initial 4,000 to 10,000, forming a powerful torrent.
The headquarters trains the army in the plains and prepares to attack Shuri Castle.
At this moment, the soldiers of Shanbei Kingdom are confident, the generals are confident, and the king is confident. And these confidences come from the artifacts in the Dragon Palace.
The gods of Shanbei Kingdom protected him and gave him artifacts to capture Ryukyu.
Pan'anzhi used "faith" to boost his morale. In front of him was Shuri City, the capital of the Zhongshan Kingdom. If he captured it, he could declare the demise of the Zhongshan Kingdom.
Shang Sishao and Shang Bazhi were very uneasy about the six battles and six victories of King Pan'anzhi of Shanbei Kingdom. They mobilized all their forces, including the recently reorganized army, with a total of 9,000 troops, to prepare for the attack.
Xu An and Pang Huan entered Shuri Castle on the eve of the imminent war.
Shang Sishao and Shang Bazhi entertained them warmly, but also felt uneasy. After all, the Shang family killed the king first and seized the country later. If the Ming Dynasty was dissatisfied based on this, the Shang family would not be able to resist.
Looking at the gloomy Ming envoy, Shang Sishao asked tentatively: "What are the orders from the Celestial Empire this time????????????????"
Xu An looked at Shang Sixao, then turned his eyes to Shang Bazhi, and said with a cold face: "Wu Ning is dead, but the Zhongshan Kingdom is not stable. Your Shang family can really sit firmly in Shuri City and protect the people here. Common people?"
Shang Bazhi heard that Xu An was a bit weird and snorted: "This is an internal matter of the Ryukyu Three Kingdoms. We have never asked the Emperor of Heaven whether he can securely occupy Jinling City."
"presumptuous!"
Pang Huan looked at Shang Bazhi coldly. This guy had destroyed Shannan Kingdom and was a little carried away.
Shang Sishao understood Shang Bazhi's dissatisfaction. Shanbei Kingdom Pan'anzhi did not send troops to attack Zhongshan Kingdom when Shuri City was the most empty, and when Wuning was the most unpopular. But now they not only came, but also used firearms!
The soldiers and common people at the bottom don't know what firearms are, how can Shang Bazhi and others not? You must know that among the three Ryukyu Kingdoms, Zhongshan Kingdom and Shannan Kingdom had the most contacts with the Ming Dynasty and sent the most overseas students. Who wouldn't be eager to do some business with the Ming Dynasty and become familiar with them?
Any artifacts from the Dragon Palace are all deceptive tricks. Pan'anzhi was able to fight all the way through, all because of Daming's secret support. Shang Bazhi thought that Daming was targeting the Shang family, so he was unwilling to do so.
Xu An doesn't like Shang Bazhi very much. This man has outstanding military talents and a good way of governing the people. He is a truly talented person. Such a person who controls Zhongshan and Shannan will definitely make Ryukyu prosperous and prosperous. Unity, it will not be easy for Ming Dynasty to want this piece of land.
For the sake of grand strategy, someone always needs to die.
Pang Huan pulled Xu An back and shouted: "The General is very angry that we secretly support the Shanbei Kingdom. In order to restore the balance and not interfere with the Ryukyu Kingdom, let us send 800 firearms to the Zhongshan Kingdom to make up for our misconduct." The consequences. Now that it’s better, people don’t take Daming seriously at all. What are we still doing here? I’d rather be whipped by the commander-in-chief than stay here!”
"What?"
Shang Sixao and Shang Bazhi were shocked. Ming Dynasty wants to give firearms to Zhongshan?
Eight hundred firearms!
Another attempt to stay, another apology, a banquet, and a round of bad faces.
Shang Sishao and Shang Bazhi understood. Daming was dissatisfied with the chaotic Ryukyu Three Kingdoms and decided to let the Shang family become the master of the Ryukyu Three Kingdoms.
As for Pan'anzhi, the king of Shanbei Kingdom, yes, he is a war maniac and is very good at fighting, but he is also a cruel and unscrupulous person. Every year, he recruits hundreds of young women into the palace and treats the people harshly. Harsh and unfit to be a real master.
Shang Bashi promised that once the three Ryukyu Kingdoms were unified, he would personally go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to pay homage to the Celestial Emperor to seek his favor.
Xu An ordered people to bring firearms, and after a round of instruction, he left Shuri City with Pang Huan.
On the boat heading to Jingu Island, Xu An looked at Pang Huan, who was silent at the bow of the boat, and said easily: "What are you still worried about now? Pan Anzhi just kicked the door and said he would kick Shuri City down. If Shang Bazhi fights with his last resort, he will definitely use all his combat power. After they kill each other and both lose, wouldn't it be good for us to clean up the mess?"
Pang Huan faced the west wind and said slowly: "Both sides will suffer losses. No, Brother Xu has forgotten that Pan'anzhi's firearms have been consumed by 60%, and they are no longer as good as the Shang family in terms of firearms. We need Shangba to win, and we need them to sweep to the mountain." The Northern Kingdom needs Shangbashi to unify the three Ryukyu Kingdoms."
Xu An took a deep breath. Pang Huan wanted to squeeze out the Shang family after using Pan'an Zhi. No wonder it was Blood-Handed Yama. With this method, it was enough to call him the King of Hell.
The war between Shanbei Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom finally started. This was the first large-scale war in the history of Ryukyu. There were nearly 20,000 sergeants and nearly 50,000 logisticians on both sides participating in the war. Almost all of them were mobilized. ???????The entire war power of the two countries.
Pan'anzhi ordered Motobu Pingyuan to lead a team to attack Shuri Castle. After encountering resistance from the Shang clan's forces, Motobu Pingyuan did not hesitate to use firearms, killing and intimidating the Shang clan's troops in large numbers, forcing them to retreat to the city to fight defensive battles. .
Seeing that the situation was improving, Pan'anzhi personally went to the front line to take command, ordering the sergeants to attack the city again and again. The explosions and killings of grenades from time to time made Shang Sishao anxious.
But Shang Bazhi did not intend to use firearms, but ordered the sergeants to defend to the death, using human lives and city defense to consume Pan'anzhi's firearms.
Facts have proved that grenades are not invincible. As long as the army is brave enough and strong enough, it can continue to fight in the face of firearms.
When people die, make up for it.
Shang Bazhi stood at the top of the city to supervise the battle. His tenacious will and firm belief seemed to have infected the entire army. No matter how Pan Anzhi led his troops to attack, they just couldn't get in.
After nightfall, Shang Bazhi arranged for two thousand elites to carry firearms and sneak attack Pan'anzhi's military camp. Pan'anzhi never expected that Shang also had firearms and was caught off guard. The most terrifying thing was the collapse of military morale.
It was said before that the treasures of the Dragon Palace can only protect the subjects of Shanbei Kingdom, and only those who died bravely in battle can enter the Dragon Palace. What is the situation now? Could it be that the Dragon Palace abandoned the Shanbei Kingdom and chose the Shang family of the Zhongshan Kingdom?
After being randomly bombed by grenades, the plains of the headquarters gradually lost control of the situation. Pan'anzhi led his guards to suppress the formation and tried to support the situation. But at this time, Shang Bazhi led an army and appeared in Pan'anzhi's area. Behind him, he used firearms to clear the way and directly smashed Pan'anzhi's rear army...
In the battle outside Shuri City, Shangbashi won a decisive victory. Not only did he kill Motobu Pingyuan and others, but he also captured Pan'anzhi. All the elites of the Shanbei Kingdom were lost, and there was no longer any power to stop Shangbashi's advance. pace.
Considering that Pan'anzhi was captured and the strength of the Shanbei Kingdom was greatly damaged, Shang Bazhi and Shang Sishao discussed it and personally led the troops northward, successively recovered the six cities of the Zhongshan Kingdom, crossed the boundary between the Zhongshan Kingdom and the Shanbei Kingdom, and marched directly into the mountains. The capital of the Northern Kingdom.
There is really not much excitement in the battles between small countries. Most of them involve thousands of people running around. It doesn't take many troops to destroy a country.
Shang Bazhi announced that Shannan and Shanbei were destroyed, and there was only one Zhongshan Kingdom on the Ryukyu Island.
The Ming Navy docked at the port east of Shuri Castle. Seeing that Shang had the situation under control, he sent an invitation saying that the navy was leaving, and invited Shang Sishao and Shang Bazhi to come to the banquet and explain. One or two.
Neither Shang Sishao nor Shang Bazhi thought about the Ming Dynasty's conspiracy. For the huge Ming navy, if they wanted to influence the situation on the Liuqiu Island, there were many opportunities and they would not have a Hongmen Banquet.
Even so, Shang Sishao and Shang Bazhi still brought more than 500 guards to the banquet, and then the sergeant was stopped outside by the navy sergeant.
Li Jian entertained Shang Sixao and Shang Bazhi, said a few useless words, and then clapped his hands with a smile on his face: "Today's banquet, I will introduce two people to you before leaving."
Shang Sishao and Shang Bazhi looked puzzled, and then they saw Daboqi and Talumei with murderous faces, and they couldn't help but be horrified.
Shang Bazhi is not afraid of Daboqi and Talume, but is afraid of Ming Dynasty's thoughts!
Daboqi and Talumei were the brothers and sons of Wang Yingzu, the king of Shannan Kingdom, and Wang Yingzu was killed by Shang Bazhi himself. Daming knew the identities of these two people, and it was impossible not to know the difference between them.
Since you knew this, why did you bring them out?
Shang Sixao was also puzzled. He looked at Li Jian doubtfully and asked, "What does this mean?"
Li Jian drank a glass of wine and said nothing.
Ta Lumei looked at Shang Bazhi fiercely, the hatred for killing his father????????????????, irreconcilable. If it weren't for this traitor, he would still be a prince. Now, he is just A poor homeless man!
】
Kill him and avenge his father!
Lu Mei saw a crossbow hanging next to Pang Huan's table, with arrows already hung on it. He remembered that Pang Huan had taught him how to use crossbow arrows a few days ago. He strode over, grabbed the crossbow, and pointed it not far away. Shang Bazhi turned off the expansion machine.
It was only five steps away. At such a distance, Shang Bazhi had no time to move. The arrow from the crossbow shot directly into Shang Bazhi's chest, and he fell to the ground immediately.
Shang Sishao was horrified. Seeing Shang Bazhi who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he shouted quickly, but no matter how he shouted, no one jumped out! Daboqi chased Shang Sishao, but Shang Sishao ignored Shang Bazhi and escaped from the tent in a hurry, and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Teams of Ming sergeants lined up neatly, armed with muskets and bows and arrows, and completely controlled Shang's sergeants. More than 500 people were disarmed without even making a splash.
There is no way, five hundred people can't defeat 10,000 fully armed Ming soldiers, and the entire Liuqiu Island can't be defeated!
Daboqi stabbed Shang Sixiao to death, and the core members of the Shang family perished.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty took out the imperial edict of Emperor Jianwen and ordered the navy to occupy Zhongshan Kingdom. As for the territory of the Zhongshan Kingdom, according to Shang, the entire Da Liuqiu Island belongs to the Zhongshan Kingdom. If this is the case, then let’s capture the entire country.
Daboqi and Thalu participated in the Ming Dynasty's naval campaigns. After each victory, they would try their best to appease the people and let them understand that the Ming Dynasty was here to save them. They should not resist the Ming Dynasty but cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's military operations.
After the tossing of Shang Bazhi, Pan Anzhi and others, the Ryukyu Islands at this time had little power to resist. The only one who organized an organized resistance was the Shang clan's army in Shuri Castle, but their results were really disastrous. They originally wanted to borrow the grenades given by Ming Dynasty to resist Ming Dynasty, but they were completely driven away by gunpowder bombs falling from the sky.
In just half a month, the Ming Dynasty Navy not only fully occupied the Ryukyu Islands, but also established basic regulations, stationed troops in important and dangerous areas, and even arranged a civilian system.
Daboqi and Talulu were very confused when they saw what Ming Dynasty was doing. Didn't they agree to help us restore our country? Why are you just starting construction and not going home to celebrate the New Year?
Li Jian arranged for Daboqi and Talume to go to Jingu Island and transfer the shipwrights and others to Naha Port west of Shuri Castle. As a result, there were unforeseen circumstances, and the boat leaked on the way, and Daboqi and Talumei drowned in the sea...
