No one gave him the answer, because he couldn't figure it out! The power of this fleet is really too powerful! So powerful, just looking at it makes people desperate, morale collapses, and they dare not give birth to resistance.

  "You are all samurai of my Satsuma domain, brave and fearless samurai, raise your head!!"

  "On the sea they are strong, but on land we are the strongest!"

  "Everyone knows what happened to Daming. Back then, dozens of warriors of us were able to break through one of their cities!"

  "It's the same today!"

  The general of the Satsuma Domain screamed wildly.

  "Death for the master!!"

  I have to say, this kind of remark instantly made the warriors of the Satsuma clan below all succumbed to their blood. They all held Japanese swords and stared at the warships that were about to land on the sea, screaming.

Chapter 3 Bombarding Japanese Warriors and Deterring Western Businessmen (5/[-])

  "Really ignorant and fearless!"

  Zhang Hong, commander of the Chengshan Fleet, looked at the harbour pier. Those warriors from the Satsuma clan of the Japanese country were like chicken blood. Hundreds of people gathered. Holding a Japanese sword, they dared to scream and rush towards the harbour pier. , wanting to block the Marine Corps of Chengshan Fleet at sea to prevent the landing, he couldn't help sneering.

  Immediately, he waved his hand and said to the staff around him: "Go ahead and prepare for a salvo of artillery fire, and let me kill all those Japanese dwarfs!"

  He is too lazy to entangle with those Japanese warriors! With the strength of the Chengshan Fleet, eight 8th squadrons, [-] battleships, and more than [-] marines, winning a small Ryukyu Islands is simply killing chickens. Bull knife.

  Hundreds of warriors from the Satsuma domain of the Japanese country were not in his eyes at all! With an order, hundreds of artillery pieces of various sizes were aimed at the warriors of the Satsuma domain on the harbor pier.

  "fire!!"

  Following the commander of the artilleryman, a shout came.

  Hundreds of artillery pieces fired in unison, and the sound of the cannonballs was so loud that it sounded like a thunderbolt from the blue.

  Not to mention the Satsuma warriors who were bombarded by hundreds of cannons.

  In the eyes of these Satsuma warriors, it was like the sky was falling apart, and countless shells and meteors fell on their heads one after another.

  He watched helplessly as a cannonball blasted past and took his companions away, not even his body was left, only scorched black and burnt flesh and blood remained.

  This scene is extremely scary! "Mom, I want to go home!"

  It was just a volley of artillery bombardment, which instantly made blood boil.

  I don't dare to mention that the Japanese warriors are the best in the world! I also don't dare to say "die for the master"

  Such fearless words.

  All were frightened and scared to pee! Those who survived and were able to run, all threw away the Japanese sword in their hands, turned around and ran away, and ran far away! Those who were injured but could not run, lay on the ground and wailed miserably. The voice was so piercing that it was very pitiful to hear.

  As for the Satsuma clan, who was stationed on Ryukyu Island and served as the general of the local emperor, at this moment, after being bombarded by hundreds of artillery pieces, he was so frightened that he completely urinated his pants and was trembling for a long time, unable to say a word.

  His legs were so frightened, let alone supervising the battle! It was just a round of artillery bombardment, and the resistance forces on the Ryukyu Island collapsed in an instant!

  "I'm seriously out of luck!"

  On the flagship, the commander of Chengshan Fleet, Zhang Hong, saw that he was bombarded by a round of artillery, and was frightened by the samurai of the Satsuma domain of the Japanese country, who had completely collapsed.

  He has the right to be so contemptuous, so! Bringing the main battleship of the Chengshan Fleet, there is no opponent who can compete with it in this sea area! Not to mention the East China Sea, even the entire Taiping is based on the number of Satsuma Domain. Hundreds of warriors! Perhaps these Japanese warriors who are not afraid of death, like mad dogs, make other people and forces fear and find it difficult to deal with.

  But in front of the Weihai Guard, whether it is the Army or the Marine Corps, it is not worth mentioning.

  whether it's a weapon

  Equipment, or the will to fight, or military quality, is completely crushed! During the battle, everyone is hanged and beaten, crushed throughout the whole process, and there is no power to fight back, that is extremely normal! On the contrary, it cannot be crushed Hanging and beating, this is the biggest abnormality! The Weihai Guards are not even afraid of the most powerful Manchu Tartars, and the mere Japanese warriors are nothing to say something unpleasant. They do not need to send a professional army. , Just by sending peasants and equipping them with cold weapons, these peasants can also hang and beat the Japanese warriors! In the Japanese country, the warrior class is the officers and the real combatants! If they are still like this, let alone those who are not hungry Conscripted serfs who don't wear warm clothes.

  Hundreds of artillery shells came with an earth-shattering bombardment, completely collapsing the Japanese warriors, causing countless casualties. In front of many merchant ships, they staged a scene of killing chickens and monkeys.

  Before this, no businessman had ever seen how the Weihai Guards fought.

  They only know that the Weihai Guards are very strong.

  However, they never knew that the Weihai Guards were so strong! Who can withstand the bombardment of hundreds of Hongyi cannons! There is almost no army of any force within and outside the Ming Dynasty, as well as the surrounding countries, that can withstand it. Hundreds of artillery bombarded! Not a single one! Thinking of this, all the people on the merchant ship gasped and were shocked.

  "This Weihaiwei is so powerful!"

  "My God, Daming has such a powerful navy!"

  "This is almost comparable to the armada of my Great Spanish Empire!"

  "What? This is only one-third of Weihaiwei's naval power!! Although I don't know much about your situation, don't lie to me!"

  "God, the East has risen again!!"

  ""

  The captain and the crew of the Xiyi White Pig, who were escorted obediently to watch the battle, were all shocked! After the shock, they were filled with fear and awe! The Xiyi White Pig, who had some knowledge, changed their expressions one after another, as if As ugly as their dead parents, they suddenly realized that this rich and vast sea area seemed to be about to leave their control! How could Weihaiwei, with such a powerful navy, let them and other Western countries snatch food! Suddenly, they didn't want the prey around them to be hunted and eaten by hunters far in the east! They all realized that the rise of Weihaiwei's naval power was a serious threat to their Western countries! It made them frustrated What's more, Weihaiwei's naval power suddenly exploded, and more than [-] artillery warships, who can fight in this sea area! Even if they gather all the armed merchant ships and warships of their Western countries in the east, they can't beat them. Ah! In this nautical age where dozens or hundreds of people can colonize and plunder a single ship with a long-distance voyage capability, a professional artillery battleship is far more powerful than one can imagine! Facing those armed merchant ships, a challenge Ten, or even dozens, is not impossible! Because the power and quantity of artillery, as well as the mobility, are simply incomparable! Just like a hunter, on the battlefield of the vast sea, hunt and kill them one by one.

  No matter how many armed merchant ships are, they will be hunted down! This is also the consensus of the Western Barbarian countries! It is precisely because of this that the Western Barbarian nations have started to build professional warships one after another! Especially in England, they have begun to classify warships in detail. !

Chapter 4: Capture the Ryukyu Islands (5/[-])

  Professional artillery warships are particularly powerful in this era! The more than [-] warships of the Chengshan Fleet, all equipped with artillery, swung to the Ryukyu waters, and the lawless armed merchants of the Western countries all shut their mouths.

  In front of the artillery, they dare not have any complaints, any superfluous nonsense.

  The only thing they can do is to secretly pray that the Weihaiwei Navy will not slaughter them casually.

  As for the cargo on the ship, they would rather not! Although they love money, they always like to say that money is more important than life.

  But when the butcher knives are cut down, these white-skinned pigs of Xiyi will still choose carefully to save their lives.

  "Log in!"

  The commander of the Chengshan Fleet saw all the resistance forces on the harbour of the Ryukyu Kingdom collapsed and fled, and when there was no force to hinder the landing, he immediately waved his hand and ordered the Marine Corps to land! The location of the Ryukyu Islands is extremely important, which can be called the passage of all countries , Here the Chengshan Fleet is going to build it into a naval base, and it is still a base stationed by the Chengshan Fleet Headquarters! It is the same as the Weihai Fleet stationed in Jeju Island to build a naval base as the current Weihai Fleet Headquarters.

  The navy is destined to go to the deep ocean, and it cannot be stationed in the near sea all the time! The Chengshan Fleet will be stationed in the Ryukyu Islands, and the sea area under its control will expand tenfold and a hundredfold. This is extremely important for Weihaiwei's expansion of the sea area. important.

  When you control the sea area, you control the route! In the era of great navigation, the route is the resource! As long as you control the route, you can control the resources of a large area! Just like the Ryukyu Islands, controlling it means that the entire Japanese island is destroyed by Under control! Because all the Japanese ships, no matter what

  It is almost impossible to count how many merchant ships there will be on this route from the South China Sea to the Japanese island every year! Controlling this route is only a matter of receiving It is possible to pay tens of millions of silver dollars every year to pass the shipping tax! This route is much busier than the Fujian sea route controlled by Zheng Zhilong.

  The most important thing is that the Chengshan Fleet set up the fleet headquarters here, not only to collect the ship tax.

  The main purpose is to control the resources of the entire Japanese island and keep it under control! Directly cut off the direct route from the Japanese island to the South China Sea, and any resources from the Japanese island must enter the Ryukyu Islands.

  Then the merchant ships from the South China Sea purchased them in Ryukyu Island.

  Correspondingly, all kinds of resources from the South China Sea must also be sold on the Ryukyu Island, and their ships are not allowed to enter the waters of the Japanese island.

  This time, the resources passed by the two places in the waters of the Ryukyu Islands were directly wiped out! The amount of silver dollars that can be obtained will be hundreds of millions of dollars every year! Most importantly, it has also controlled the amount of money from the South China Sea. Resources! The benefits brought to the Weihaiwei territory are innumerable! Of course, this kind of overbearing approach requires strong strength to support it.

  It requires a strong and numerous navy, constantly patrolling the waters of the Ryukyu Islands, and hunting registered ships.

  This takes a lot of time and effort, but the earnings are also incalculable.

  The commander of Chengshan Fleet, Zhang Hong, is here, and he has already done a good job of establishing their fleet base on Ryukyu Island.

  At the same time, this is also the purpose that Lin Feng will release to hunt for food and grow.

  The navy consumes too many resources! It is not cost-effective to keep them at home, so we can only let them go out to find food on their own! place, the profit they earn each month

  Run, not only can raise them, but also expand their scale, place orders with shipyards, purchase more cruisers, and future warship overlords - battleships.

  In addition, they can also turn over a large amount of profits to the lord's mansion every month! The navy of this era, especially when it has a powerful force and can control one side of the sea, is so happy! There will be no shortage of money! Losing money, but it still has to be raised, and it has to continue to expand its scale and constantly update the battleship.

  A loss is tens of hundreds of years! Otherwise, how about a 100-year-old navy! Without a certain strength, it is impossible to develop a navy at all.

  The second guard of the Marine Corps of Chengshan Fleet, under the order of its fleet commander, stepped ashore from the transport ship in an orderly manner, stepped on the dock, and quickly advanced to the island, constantly expanding the site and occupying more space.

  When all the troops landed, [-] marines marched towards the royal city of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

  In the entire Ryukyu Kingdom, there is only a decent city like Wangcheng, and at most it is as big as Daming County.

  As for other cities, it is better to say that they are small towns and villages, and they don't even have city walls.

  In this small kingdom where hundreds of Japanese warriors can run rampant across the country, a marine corps of guards is simply an unimaginable army! Not only did the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom frighten to death, but even those from the Western countries The white-skinned western barbarians of the merchant ships were also scared to death! In this era when dozens or hundreds of people can colonize with a dozen guns, no one can take out thousands of regular troops to colonize in one go.

  However, Weihaiwei did it! With so many troops, and even armed to the teeth of the Marine Corps, the royal city of the Ryukyu Kingdom took it down with little effort.

  The Marine Corps, advancing quickly, cooperated with the various squadrons, quickly occupied all the small islands of the Ryukyu Islands except the main island, crushed and beat the entire Ryukyu Islands, as if going through the motions, and won the entire Ryukyu Islands! Chengshan Fleet Commander Zhang Hong did not have any You are polite, after taking the entire Ryukyu Islands, I ordered to cut down all the squires, wealthy merchants, officials and nobles on the Ryukyu Islands in one go, including the Ryukyu King! Completely destroy the Ryukyu Kingdom! There are no hidden dangers! Immediately, the natives of the Ryukyu Kingdom were forcibly recruited, and the construction of Ryukyu Island began.

  To expand the wharf, build a naval base, build a fort, build a house and road, etc., it is necessary to build the entire Ryukyu Island into the headquarters of the Chengshan Fleet at the fastest speed.

  Of course, in addition to this, I did not forget to ask the Weihai Guardian for help, asking for personnel and materials.

  If the Ryukyu Islands want to be self-sufficient, it is not enough to rely on trade alone. They also need to reclaim farmland, establish farms, and achieve food self-sufficiency! Occupy any place, no matter what

  Whether it is a colony or a direct territory, it is necessary to reclaim farmland and establish farms to achieve food self-sufficiency. This is the model of Weihaiwei for a long time! Only when food is self-sufficient can we talk about development and stability! Agriculture is the foundation of everything and must not be chaotic! When Wei received the good news, Lin Feng waved his hand again and sent [-] peasants to the sea to support the Ryukyu Islands! This is also his investment in the Ryukyu Islands! Next, everything depends on the Chengshan Fleet! If you want other supplies, you can take Buy the silver dollar yourself! In Lin Feng's eyes, the navy is no different from the shipyard under his command. It is a production unit that can create continuous profits for him.

  He really uses the navy as an army. In this era, even he can't afford it. The navy is a real bottomless pit! Especially, it's still in the era of sailing warships and artillery! None of them are consumables. It can't be used for too long! Feilu reminds you: three things to read, collect, recommend, and score

Chapter 5 Xiyi merchants follow their hearts (5/[-])

  It didn't take long for the [-] peasants, all kinds of supplies and many talents that Lin Feng supported to come to the Ryukyu Islands.

  Zhang Hong, commander of the Chengshan Fleet, was overjoyed when he heard the words. With these [-] peasants in his hands, he could finally do a big job in the Ryukyu Islands! Although there were still quite a few indigenous people in the Ryukyu Kingdom that had been wiped out, how could these indigenous people interact with the system? Compared with the farmers who produce, no matter what kind of work they do, in terms of quality and efficiency, they are all crushed by farmers who are systematically produced, and there is no comparison at all! In his eyes, the systematic farmers are producers and real treasures. In his eyes, the natives are the existences that need to consume a lot of resources.

  For him who has just expanded the colony, every bit of resources is extremely important! The farmers and various talents who support him can allow the Ryukyu Islands to establish various institutions.

  Shipyards can be built. Although they cannot build warships, fishing boats can be built. Since they are located on the sea, the fishery resources are extremely rich. How could Zhang Hong ignore the development of fishery! This is impossible! And Ryukyu The archipelago also needs to have the ability to repair warships, and shipyards must be built! Since the development of fishery, the related salt farms and salted fish factories must also be established.

  In addition, this is the main road of transportation, and the ships connect all countries, and the market must also be established.

  There are also various shops and trading markets on the wharf, all of which have to be established.

  With enough labor, Zhang Hong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and started waving the baton to build everything he wanted.

  Of course, these are all of little technical content! As for other factories with high technical content, he will not build them. He occupied this place to colonize and squeeze benefits, not to invest! The entire Ryukyu Islands have a large area. It reaches [-] square kilometers, but because of the nature of the archipelago, farming cannot be done in many places.

  Therefore, Zhang Hong only sent [-] to [-] peasants to reclaim farmland and reclaimed one million farmland, which is much less than that of the Weihai Fleet in Jeju Island.

  It only occupies about one-fifth of the land area of ​​the entire Ryukyu Islands! This is also related to the nature of the archipelago! Although there is not much farmland, the food produced every month is enough for millions of people for seven or eight months. Yes! If you eat more fresh fish or salted fish, then there will be no problem if one million eats it for a year.

  Farms established by systematic farmers, the Ryukyu Islands, can achieve self-sufficiency in just one month! After solving the food problem, then the rest.

  It's all earned! Soon, businessmen from various countries who were trapped on Ryukyu Island received it. From then on, they will not be able to go to the Japanese waters to conduct transactions, and they will all have to conduct transactions at the Ryukyu Port set up on Ryukyu Island.

  In addition, all ships involved in the transaction must be registered. Once an unregistered ship is discovered, it will be regarded as a pirate and a threat ship by the Chengshan Fleet, and will be destroyed! The sloppy, kill-and-kill style of behavior has long been known by these businessmen from various countries who were trapped in the Ryukyu port.
