The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 470 The Despair of Oshikawa Yoshitada

Phi Island.

on sea level.

Under the brilliant sunshine, the surface of the Yellow Sea rippled distinctly, like white fish scales, and several sailboats moved slowly on the water.

The dark blue in the distance, the rolled silver line, is as quiet as the blue sky, and the skyline is mixed together.

Only the flag of the Jinjiang army on the mast was carefully distinguished by the high observers.

Since the rebellion in Pyongan Road, not only the army entered Hamgyong Road, but the navy that was originally stationed in Jinzhou was also dispatched to Phi Island.

Regarding this transfer, there was a big dispute in Golden State.

The imperial court set up three battalions in Tianjin, Dengzhou, and Penglai respectively, and there are several water villages. If the navy that protects the sea off Jinzhou is transferred away, what should I do if something happens?
Someone suggested.

The first part of the general Yan Zhongzheng who maintained the safety of the Lushun-Jinling waterway was transferred.

In the end, because the domestic rebel army was so powerful that the imperial court had no spare time to take care of Liaodong, this voice gained the upper hand.

Therefore, the navy guerrillaized Li Er, leaving [-] large and small warships in Jinzhou, and the remaining [-] large and small warships all went north.

Originally, it was just Pyongan-do, but later expanded to Hwanghae-do, then Gyeonggi-do, and finally Chungcheong-do.

The entire west coast of North Korea is not allowed to go into the sea.

Fifty warships were scattered along the thousands of miles of coastline like sesame seeds. Fortunately, there were still seventy warships in the hands of Yan Zhongzheng.

That is to patrol the commercial roads, and by the way, patrol the waters west of North Korea.

120 warships, plus the [-] fishing boats distributed by the Fishery Administration to fish in this sea area, are nothing more than nothing.

Deterrence is greater than practical effect.

According to the order of the military commander, the navy has to pick up Young Master Chang from Jeolla-do, because the road to the north is impassable.

In the area held by the rebels, although Li Shi and others would certainly not harm the eldest son, no one in the army below would recognize the eldest son.

There are also Gangwon-do and the southernmost cities of Hamgyong-do, which are also unsafe because of the conflict with the Jinjiang army.

After comprehensive consideration, I chose the sea route.

Tang Yangan came to the deck and held the hand of the North Korean princess. The little girl was timid, but it was her first time to go to sea, and the novelty in front of her eyes quickly made her forget her troubles.

Since leaving Jeolla-do, her elder brother, Prince Joseon, kept a stern face all the way, and locked himself in the cabin when he got on the boat.

"Look."

Tang Yanqian pointed to the sky.

In the sky above the sea, the black spot of a goshawk appeared, and its black shadow wings pierced the cotton-like clouds with a roar.

Flickering in and out of the clouds, then motionless, as if standing still in the air, overlooking the sea for a long time.

In an instant.

With a sudden flap of its wings, a black shadow was left behind, rushing into the black sea of ​​clouds.

Although the North Korean princess is small, she maintains a dignified posture, but the blush on her face shows her happiness.

"I really envy it."

"What's there to envy about it? I'll take you to more places in the future. There are many interesting things in Jinzhou. My father never forbids us to go out."

Tang Yangan said braggingly.

"In Jinzhou, can my mother stay at home and often go out of the house?"

On the fair face of the North Korean princess, her black and white eyes seemed to be smiling, and her lips were as red as a cherry.

When Tang Yangan was speaking, she lowered her head like a lady and pursed her lips to show meekness.

Then he raised his head, looked into Tang Yanqian's eyes with all his heart, and smiled broadly.

Snow-white teeth, protruding from the red mouth, wearing a lilac-colored court dress with white flowers on it.

The two children played with each other, played for several years, and experienced war and chaos, displacement, as if they had grown up unknowingly.

Compared with ordinary children, the heart is more mature.

"Di..."

far away.

The two patrolling warships found them, judged the important figures above from the flags, and issued harsh and penetrating trumpets.

A group of sailors stood on the deck, performing military salutes neatly.

Ge Shifeng, who was behind the two children, led a few soldiers, and also returned the military salute, and the ships of both sides sailed past each other on the sea.

Tang Yanqian imitated Ge Shifeng's behavior and paid back meticulously with the unsharp short sword Ge Shifeng gave him on his waist.

As long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by military children, and now I am the "brothers" who serve as middle and low-level officers in the army.

Li Rujing, Xu Jufei, Zhao Xueyan, Pan Xun...

Former episode.

The cavalry of the North Korean rebel army rushed in front of Wang Luan. On the carriage, Tang Yanqian clearly saw the unruliness on the faces of the cavalry of the rebel army.

Seeing the soldiers fighting and collapsing with their own eyes, Ge Shifeng, who came after him, fought bravely with one against ten.

The blood of the fight filled the eyes.

It turned out that this is the army.

Tang Yanqian followed his mother's slightly soft face, with eyebrows at the front and shoulders at the back, his face was like a full moon, and finally he was stained with the heroic signs of his father's facial features.

……

"The young man just now is the eldest son?"

After the two warships parted, the sailors on the deck chatted to pass the boring time.

The deck was washed, the ropes were checked, weapons such as blunderbuss, bows and arrows, and swords were maintained, and gunpowder pots and kraft paper were also counted.

Even the stored wood was not spared, and there was really nothing extra to be found.

The cooks in the kitchen didn't let them help either.

The big pot of rice had just come out of the oven, and the sailors who hurried to help were already full in advance, which made the cooks disgusted and drove them out.

"If it's not the eldest son, who else can it be?"

"Is the princess next to the eldest son? It's the first time I've seen a princess in my life, and her temperament is really not comparable to that of ordinary people."

One of the sailors sighed.

The ships were so far apart, only shadows were seen, and more of it was the soldiers' own imagination.

"The princess of North Korea is no match for the lady of our general's family."

This remark was recognized by most people, although none of them had seen what the general's young lady looked like.

But although they look different, they all have the same simple idea.My own people are definitely the best.

The laughter of the sailors was full of joy.

This piece of sea.

Domestic sailors and North Korean sailors are all their own families in name, and Japan has fewer and fewer ships.

There are many foreign ships, but Jeju Island is strictly managed, and no ship is willing to make trouble in the waters of Jeju Island, so as not to affect their own business.

I heard that the pirates on the southeast coast are very powerful, but they didn't harass them.

But the good times are numbered.

Among the sailors, there was a rumor that Jinjiang Town would expand the size of the navy, and their original troops would be sent to the southeast sea.

It is said that.

Where the fighting is fierce.

The British were at war with the Cantonese navy, the Japanese island nation was at war with the Ryukyu island nation, the Dutch ships were at war with the British ships, the Dutch ships were at war with the Spanish ships, and Spain was at war with the British.

There are countless pirates, Japanese, domestic, Siamese...

While making people feel dreadful, the heart is full of expectations.

Raise soldiers for a thousand days.

In Liaodong.

The treatment of soldiers is the first class, which is higher than that of other professions, which is far beyond the comparison of the domestic atmosphere in Da Zhou.

The momentum cultivated in this way has fallen into emptiness and boredom for many years. The sailors who have not experienced fierce wars are full of passion in their hearts, and they faintly hope to prove themselves.

A young officer quietly came behind the soldiers, and nodded in satisfaction when he heard what the soldiers said.

There is no sea ban in Liaodong, and outward exploration is encouraged.

Businessmen from all over the world have gathered in Jeju Island, and they have also brought countless exciting news.

Navy is no longer an auxiliary position, but can become a pivotal role.

A small number of graduates from the military academy choose to come to the Navy, but although there are fewer people, they are more united.

Compared with the previous navy generals, they have extremely strict requirements on appearance and appearance, because the navy and the army are different.

The army has the myth of one against a hundred, but the navy does not.

The navy has only precise calculations.

Whoever masters the deeper professional skills will win.

It was under their leadership that the atmosphere of the navy gradually changed, forcing the generals of the navy above to change their style.

The unparalleled wealth of Jeju Island supports the ambitions of young officers who are graduates of the military academy and young officers of the Navy Officer Corps.

they think.

The ocean is the most precious wealth. It should not be ignored, but should be explored and pursued to make Jinjiang Town the most powerful place.

How many people are there in England, how many people are in Spain, how many people are in Holland, and how many people are in Portugal!
Jinjiang Town has a population of more than 500 million, and behind it is Da Zhou, a young naval officer corps with a population of nearly [-] million. They are full of ambition.

It is the most violent group in Jinjiang Town, just like Kim Zidian, the leading figure among the younger sons of North Korean officials.

The difference is that Jin Zidian is still limited in the traditional sight.

As for the naval officer corps who have been in contact with the new world, they are no longer satisfied with their eyes, but look at the world.

This time.

The encounter with the eldest son's boat, the sea is boundless, whether it was accidental or inevitable, only a few people know.

~~~~~~
"Bagaya Road."

Yoshitada Oshikawa, the representative of the Satsuma Clan in the Ryukyu Kingdom, cursed at the Ashigaru, and the samurai beside him showed contemptuous glances.

On the main island of Ryukyu, more and more people began to rebel. The Satsuma clan arranged for officials on Ryukyu Island to resist the tax collection of the Satsuma clan officials.

over the years.

The resistance forces on Ryukyu Island have long been suppressed by the Satsuma clan and have been stable for several years.

The sudden change aroused the suspicion of the Satsuma domain, and asked Oshikawa Yoshitada of the Amami Islands to investigate and solve it.

After a long search, Yoshitada Oshikawa discovered that the resistance forces in the Ryukyu mainland all came from the Sakishima Islands.

The Ryukyu Kingdom is an island country, divided into three major archipelagos, the Amami Islands in the north, which is the closest to the Satsuma Domain, followed by the Ryukyu Islands, the mainland of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and finally the Sakishima Islands in the south, the farthest from the Satsuma Domain.

The three major archipelagos become long strips.

From the south of Japan, it extends close to Dawan, which is Taiwan in later generations, like a chain of overseas Chinese.

In the hands of China, it is the country's Great Wall at sea, and in the hands of other countries, it is the bridgehead that blocks China's access to the ocean.

In the current era, the entire eastern country does not pay attention to the ocean, and officially suppresses the forces of non-governmental exploration overseas.

Only Satsuma's unintentional move created a huge strategically favorable situation for the future of Japan.

From north to south.

The Amami Islands are completely in the hands of the Satsuma Domain, and officials are directly assigned to manage them; Ryukyu Island is under indirect management, and officials from the Satsuma Domain supervise the officials of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Only the Sakishima Islands remain, which are still semi-independent.

The resistance forces on the Ryukyu main island scattered across the countryside, evading the search of the Satsuma clan, and disappeared in the long river of history.

It wasn't until the appearance of the Jinjiang Army Navy that some of the rebel forces were rescued, transported to the Sakishima Islands, and joined the local people.

Coupled with the food, weapons, and news brought by the navy of the Jinjiang Army, not only did they successfully control the Sakishima Islands, but they also went upstream to develop more forces in the mainland.

So Oshikawa Yoshitada assembled 200 people, and the ferry arrived at the Sakishima Islands, looking for traces of the rebels.

But many islands, the people he brought, all returned in vain.

The Sakishima Islands are further divided into two major archipelagos, the Miyako Islands and the Yaeyama Islands. There are dozens of large islands, as well as many small uninhabited islands and reef islands.

There were only 200 of them, and they searched everywhere, and it would take several months to explore all the islands.

Yoshitada Oshikawa got nothing, and he lost his temper because he thought the ashigaru were too stupid.

Miyako Island.

It is more than [-] miles away from Ryukyu Main Island, and nearly [-] miles away from Ishigaki Island, which is the closest to the Yaeyama Islands.It is about four thousand miles away from the Edo area of ​​Japan.

The terrain is flat, and there are many ponds and small lakes on the island. In addition to the long rainy season, water resources are abundant.

So when you look out from Hengshan, all you see are rice fields.

There are continuous undulating sand hills.The gurgling water in the river is no more than knee deep and three or four feet wide. You don't need to build a bridge, just jump over it.

There are big trees with thick shade to block out the sun, and the branches are covered with bird's nests of all sizes.

Reeds, wild hemp and cattail grass grow in clusters in the hollow, and dragonflies and butterflies rest on the reed tips, hemp leaves and grass slices.

Because of Yoshitada Oshikawa's intrusion, birds of various colors were startled from time to time along the way, white ones, red-billed ones, and colorful-headed ones.

"Whoosh whoosh."

In the woods, sparse bows and arrows shot out, several ashigaru screamed, and the samurai drew out their weapons vigilantly.

Oshikawa Yoshitada knew that he met the rebels, instead of panicking, he showed excitement in his eyes.

The enemy is dark and we are bright.

Oshikawa Yoshitada did not stay where he was, but urged the soldiers to charge into the forest. The warriors were all brave.

The opponent is nothing but the rebel army of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The well-equipped warriors on their own side do not think that they will encounter fierce resistance, and they are full of joy in pursuit of glory.

The rebels were a mob. Although they had taken advantage of the location to attack, the Satsuma army not only did not mess up their position, but took the initiative to face the difficulties, scaring the rebels to their knees.

Oshikawa Yoshitada proudly pursued and killed the rebels.

"Bang bang bang."

When I got to the middle of the mountain, I met a row of neat soldiers holding bird guns, wearing light armor, long swords around their waists, and holding banners that I had never seen before.

After the flames shone, a row of Satsuma soldiers fell down the mountain in unison.

"assault."

Oshikawa Yoshitada shouted in despair, only by pressing against the opponent's firecrackers and crushing the opponent with a single blow, can he regain his vitality and turn defeat into victory.

"kill."

The unfamiliar soldiers fought head-to-head without any timidity, which made Oshikawa Yoshitada show his despair.
