Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Five days later.

On the port on the eastern coast.

More than one hundred Ming Dynasty treasure ships have arrived.

Zhu Ying arrived at the port dressed in full armor. Upon seeing Zhu Ying, Feng Sheng, the Grand Admiral of the Ming Navy, immediately went to him.

"Your Highness, all the Ming Dynasty treasure ships are now in position!"

"As long as His Highness the Imperial Grandson gives the order, we can set out on the expedition."

Zhu Ying nodded, and then, accompanied by Feng Sheng, he boarded the treasure ship.

"Relay my orders!"

"Ming Dynasty naval warships! Set sail now!"

Zhu Ying shouted loudly at Feng Sheng, who immediately responded, "Yes, sir!"

soon.

The entire Ming Dynasty navy began to advance towards the Japanese islands!

One hundred warships set off at almost the same time.

The whole scene was absolutely stunning!

Zhu Ying stood on the deck, looking at the more than one hundred Ming warships around him, feeling extremely excited.

Although the Ming Dynasty's treasure ships were categorized into three tiers—large, medium, and small—the smallest treasure ship was actually larger than any warship of any country in this era!
This is enough to illustrate just how enormous the medium-sized treasure ship is compared to the large treasure ship!

Look around.

All the warships are moving at full speed.

Because every warship was equipped with a steam engine, the Ming Dynasty navy's warships were not only enormous in size, but also incredibly fast!
On the high seas, it's incredibly fast!
nowadays.

The warships of the Ming Dynasty were undoubtedly the most advanced warships in the world at that time.

Neither Western nor Eastern countries can compare!

"Your Highness, based on the current speed of the warships, we should be able to reach the Japanese islands in no time."

Feng Sheng, the Grand Admiral of the Ming Navy, took the initiative to remind Zhu Ying.

The latter nodded slightly. Zhu Ying continued to look at the large number of warships around him and said excitedly, "This battle is the first battle of the Ming Navy. I will let the whole world witness the power of the Ming Navy!"

……

Meanwhile, several merchant ships were passing by the Ming fleet.

The sailors on the merchant ship were all stunned by the sight of more than a hundred Ming warships departing from the port.

"My goodness, these warships are enormous! This is the first time I've ever seen so many warships!"

"These are all warships of our Great Ming Dynasty! I must say, our Great Ming warships are indeed powerful! These warships are even equipped with red-coated cannons!"

"They've dispatched so many warships at once, could it be that they're about to start a war?"

"It seems so! To be honest, with so many warships, we have more than enough to deal with any country!"

"Of course! Our Great Ming Dynasty is the best in the world, whether it's the navy or the army!"

The sailors on these merchant ships were excited and thrilled when they saw the warships of the Ming Dynasty navy.

Even more, many sailors from merchant ships stood on the deck and waved to the Ming navy.

……

after a while.

Ryukyu Kingdom.

At this moment, tens of thousands of troops from the Southern Court of Japan are about to land on the shore.

Clearly, this Southern Court army of Japan had only one objective.

That was the military occupation of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The Southern Court of Japan had always coveted the Ryukyu Kingdom.

They were eager to conquer the Ryukyu Kingdom.

this time.

The king of the Southern Court of Japan could no longer restrain himself, so he dispatched a general to lead tens of thousands of troops in a surprise attack on the Ryukyu Kingdom.

At this moment.

The naval war between the Southern Court of Japan and the Ryukyu Kingdom had quietly come to an end.

The Ryukyu Kingdom suffered heavy casualties.

nowadays.

The Ryukyu Kingdom had no choice but to abandon its maritime defenses and retreat to the shore to establish defenses in an attempt to prevent the Southern Court army from landing on the Japanese islands.

Currently.

The three kings of Ryukyu had gathered together to discuss how to deal with the army of the Southern Court of Japan that was about to land.

To be fair, the population of Ryukyu is not large, only around 300,000 to 400,000.

and.

The Ryukyu Islands were further divided into three countries.

They are Zhongshan, Shannan, and Shanbei, respectively.

On average, each country has at most a population of around 100,000.

Perhaps it was because these three countries were well aware of their own strength that they acted in order to protect the safety of Ryukyu.

Furthermore, in order to safeguard their own national security, the three Ryukyu countries have maintained relatively good relations.

If either side is attacked, the other two countries will provide immediate support.

now.

The armies of these three countries have already built defensive lines along the coast to face the advancing Southern Dynasty army of Japan.

For these Ryukyu soldiers, they had just experienced a fierce battle at sea, in which some of their relatives and brothers were brutally killed by the Japanese army.

and so.

The remaining Ryukyu soldiers' eyes were filled with anger and unforgivable rage!

even.

These soldiers had long been prepared to perish together with the Japanese army.

On the shore.

The greatest king of Ryukyu, Chadu, has already arrived.

His face was filled with tension.

He had been pacing back and forth ever since he arrived at this frontier coast.

Visible tension.

As for Chadu, he knew very well that even if the three kingdoms of Ryukyu joined forces to resist, they would be no match for the Southern Court of Japan.

and so.

After discussions with the other two kings, Chadu ultimately decided to negotiate with the Japanese army of the Southern Dynasty.

Although Chadu did not want to negotiate, this was Ryukyu's last chance.

If the Japanese army from the Southern Dynasty were to land, Ryukyu would become a sea of ​​fire, and the people would suffer unspeakable harm and invasion.

This is certainly not what Chadu wanted to see.

Therefore, he had no choice but to negotiate with the Japanese army of the Southern Dynasty.

……

And this moment.

Near the coast of Ryukyu, the warships of the Southern Court of Japan were already pressing in with overwhelming force.

The highest-ranking general in charge of this campaign was Kikuchi Takemasa, who led an army of 50,000 men with the aim of completely defeating Ryukyu.

Furthermore, the Ryukyu Islands were incorporated into the sphere of influence of the Southern Court of Japan.

The Southern Court of Japan attacked Ryukyu for a simple reason: to expand its power in order to deal with the Northern Court of Japan.

"Report!"

"General Kikuchi Takemasa, the Ryukyu Kingdom wishes to negotiate with you!"

When the messenger relayed the news to Kikuchi Takemasa, he immediately burst into laughter, saying, "It seems that Ryukyu is quite aware of its own strength."

"If they dare to confront this general head-on, they will die without a burial place!"

"Since Ryukyu wants to negotiate with me, then I will go and meet the King of Ryukyu!"

soon.

Accompanied by several guards, Kikuchi Takemasa arrived at the port of Ryukyu aboard a warship.

Then, Kikuchi Takemasa strode confidently toward Chadu.

At this moment, the surrounding Ryukyu soldiers were all watching the general of the Southern Court of Japan with predatory eyes.

However, Kikuchi Takemasa didn't care at all.

In Kikuchi Takemasa's view, the Ryukyu Kingdom had already become a meal for him.

With just a single command, the Southern Court's army from Japan would instantly overwhelm the Ryukyu Kingdom's coastal defenses.

Kikuchi Takemasa agreed to negotiate with the Ryukyu Kingdom this time with the aim of forcing the Ryukyu Kingdom to surrender directly.

just.

When Kikuchi Takemasa met with Chado, the latter acted extremely tough.

In fact, in order to force the Southern Court of Japan to withdraw its troops, Chaddu immediately invoked the name of the Ming Dynasty to threaten them.

"Now that the three Ryukyu Kingdoms have become vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, if your Southern Court army on the Japanese islands dares to land, then that would be an invasion of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Although my Ryukyu Kingdom is extremely weak, the Ming Dynasty is quite powerful."

"If your Southern Dynasty on the Japanese islands does not want to be destroyed, then you should withdraw your troops immediately!"

Chadu's tone was quite sharp.

This surprised Kikuchi Takemasa somewhat.

He never expected that Chadu, who was about to die, would still dare to be so stubborn.

then.

Kikuchi Takemasa sneered, "Using the Ming Dynasty to threaten this general?"

"How could you even think of that!"

"To be fair, the Ming Dynasty is indeed powerful, but this is the waters of my Japanese islands!"

"No matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, they can't interfere here!"

Faced with Kikuchi Takemasa's sophistry, Chadu angrily said, "I have already told you that the three Ryukyu Kingdoms have now submitted to the Ming Dynasty, and the sea area here, including the Ryukyu Kingdom, naturally belongs to the Ming Dynasty!"

"I advise you that it is not too late to withdraw your troops now. If your Southern Dynasty Japanese army dares to land, then that would be an invasion!"

"If the Ming Dynasty finds out... they will definitely not let you off easily!"

As soon as Chadu finished speaking, Kikuchi Takemasa revealed a disdainful expression.

He scoffed and sneered, "So what?"

"If we kill all of you Ryukyuans, the Ming Dynasty will have no way of knowing about this."

After Kikuchi Takemasa finished speaking, he gave Chado a creepy smile.

This sent chills down Chadu's spine.

Originally, Chadu hoped to put pressure on Kikuchi Takemasa through the Ming Dynasty, but now it seems that the Southern Dynasty of Japan has gone astray.

at this point.

Chadu really had no other choice.

If the Southern Dynasty of Japan were to insist on attacking Ryukyu, Ryukyu, with its current strength, would simply not be able to withstand the onslaught.

At this time.

Kikuchi Takemasa suddenly spoke up, "Are you finished?"

"Now it's my turn to speak!"

"If your Ryukyu Kingdom does not wish to be destroyed, then from this moment on you must submit to the Southern Court of Japan!"

"If you don't comply, all the people of Ryukyu will be wiped out!"

Obviously.

Faced with Kikuchi Takemasa's threat, Chado would never agree.

He responded firmly, "To expect my Ryukyu Kingdom to submit to the Southern Dynasty of Japan is simply wishful thinking!"

"We, the people of Ryukyu, were born into the Ming Dynasty! We will die as ghosts of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Ryukyuans! We will never submit to Japan!"

Upon hearing Chadu's reply, Kikuchi Takemasa's expression immediately darkened.

He knew very well that continuing these negotiations would not change anything.

then.

Kikuchi Takemasa uttered his last words.

"Chadu, you destroyed Ryukyu with your own hands."

After saying this, Kikuchi Takemasa returned to the warship with several guards.

Next.

Kikuchi Takemasa did not give Ryukyu any more time.

He immediately issued the order to attack Ryukyu!
Kikuchi Takemasa summoned all his generals and then addressed them in a loud voice: "These Ryukyu are simply courting death, daring to threaten me with the Ming Dynasty!"

"It seems these Ryukyuans are really tired of living!"

"Attack Ryukyu immediately!"

"We must break through Ryukyu's defenses!"

"Furthermore, tell all soldiers that once we conquer Ryukyu and kill its king, everyone can do whatever they want!"

"Burn, kill, loot! This general will not tolerate any of it!"

But after hearing what Kikuchi Takemasa said, all the generals showed excited expressions!

Obviously.

This group of people can no longer suppress the bestiality within them!
This time, Kikuchi Takemasa led a total of 50,000 troops.

After Kikuchi Takemasa gave the order, 50,000 troops landed on the shore!
Say something.

The appearance of these Japanese soldiers is almost identical to the later impressions of the Japanese.

Looking around, these Japanese soldiers were extremely short and their appearance was repulsive and very ugly!
When Kikuchi Takemasa gave the order to attack, all the Japanese troops rushed frantically toward the Ryukyu Islands' shore.

Perhaps it was because these Japanese soldiers were short in stature, or perhaps it was because the Ryukyu soldiers were simply too bad at archery.

This made it extremely difficult for the Ryukyu soldiers to hit the Japanese soldiers with their arrows!

and so.

These 50,000-plus Japanese soldiers broke through the first line of defense almost effortlessly.

Soon, the Japanese army and the Ryukyu army engaged in hand-to-hand combat!

The two sides fought fiercely on the beach!

At this time.

The messenger from the Ryukyu Kingdom immediately informed the situation of the current battle.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Japanese army has really begun to land!"

"Moreover... these Japanese soldiers easily breached the first line of defense, and now all the soldiers have joined the battle and are fighting hard to hold them off!"

now.

Chadu's face was filled with panic.

He hadn't expected the Southern Dynasty's army on the Japanese islands to arrive so quickly.

at this point.

Chadu also understood that the Southern Court of Japan was determined to occupy Ryukyu.

"These guys are absolutely shameless!"

"The Ming Dynasty will never let them get away with this!"

Then, Chadu addressed his troops, "All troops, join the battle!"

"We absolutely cannot allow the soldiers of the Southern Court of Japan to invade the civilians!"

At Chadu's command, hundreds of soldiers grabbed their weapons and joined the battle against the Southern Court soldiers of Japan.

However, to be fair, Japan clearly has a greater advantage in terms of the individual abilities and numbers of its soldiers.

On the coast.

Only half an hour had passed, and many Ryukyu soldiers had already fallen on the beach.

Of course, many Ryukyu soldiers were also seriously wounded.

Despite this, the wounded Ryukyu soldiers still did not retreat.

Instead, they continued to take up arms and fight the Japanese army head-on!
For the Ryukyu soldiers, they would never allow Japanese soldiers to invade their country!
