Chapter 143: The Edict
On July 14th, the sea outside Ryukyu.
The Joint Fleet's flagship East Asia was officially released, and Eunuch Wei officially read out the "Decree of the Sun in the Heavens" to the main generals of the Joint Fleet and the brigade commander of the Guards Division and above.
The imperial edict said: "Ryukyu was a vassal of our Ming Dynasty. It has been more than 200 years and has been promoted every year. It is known to all the Chinese and foreign countries. In the past decade, the Japanese sent troops to invade Ryukyu without reason, and then added thousands of troops, forcing Liuliu to change the national affairs. The threats are difficult to reason. Our dynasty is tolerant, and our internal affairs are to be taken care of. The Japanese made a covenant with Ryukyu, which belonged to the country, and there was no reason to heavily oppress and force the political reforms.
...The Japanese were arbitrarily pirated and used tricks to provoke them. The public opinion was obvious. In the previous period, they invaded our vassal states... I used special notices to the world so that I could handle this matter with the court, which was actually done with the best righteousness; but the Japanese Yu Alliance was unreasonable and could not be ashamed of the situation.
I hereby declare war on Japan, and all the officials have their own affairs, so I should understand my intentions and fight against Japan in the sea and land, and strive to achieve the goal of the country.
After this, although I have always been in peace and harmony, to promote the glory of the empire at home and abroad, I have to declare war openly. Thanks to the loyalty and bravery of the people, I hope to overcome peace and eternity quickly and with the glory of the entire empire.
The admiral's maritime minister Wei Liangchen strictly ordered the dispatch of land and sea troops under the emperor's personal army to quickly attack and attack, and then advance one after another to save the people of Ryukyu;
He also brought the governors and generals of the southeast coast to rectify the army. When Japanese ships sailed into each entrance, they immediately attacked them head-on and annihilated them all. Do not retreat slightly, causing crimes.
I will inform you of this encyclical and I will honor this."
After reading the letter from Wanli at a great cost, there was no treasure of the rituals, no cabinet attached, and no war declarations were transmitted to the six local governments, Eunuch Wei said to the generals: "Only madness and only foolishness can rewrite history."
While speaking, my father-in-law came to the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, looked at the Ryukyu Islands not far away, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and murmured to himself: "I don't know whether we are crazy or stupid, but I only know how to run all the way forward."
At this moment, my father-in-law is great, complex, and full of passion and ambition.
July 14th is destined to be recorded in history.
This day will become a day of unity that the people of East Asia will never forget.
"The standing fleet of the joint fleet has been ordered to be assembled. Please make an announcement from the Ministry of Justice!"
Shi Dezheng, the commander of the Joint Fleet Division, led a group of fleet staff wearing white military uniforms and white gloves to deliver a new naval bow to Eunuch Wei.
The fleet's chief of staff, Shen Yourong, was not on the ship. He was commanding the navy's combat troops to confront the First Regiment of the Guards Division in Yaeyama and the Japanese Shiyama tribe.
Since the implementation of the "Three Tigers" combat plan, the Navy has mobilized more than 280 ships, more than 1,000 artillery pieces in total, spent more than 200,000 kilograms of medicine, dispatched nearly 10,000 troops, and won the victory of the Ryukyu naval battle to wipe out the Murayama fleet.
Now except for Miyako Island, the Yaeshan area is still occupied by the Japanese Kasuyama tribe, and the rest of the Ryukyu Islands have been recovered by the Imperial Army.
Shangxian, the third son of the former King Shangfeng of Ryukyu, actively cooperated with the imperial army and vigorously launched the Ryukyu people to support the cause of the liberation of the imperial army. The Japanese army, which was fighting stubbornly, was already a trapped beast.
"The main force of the division's 20,000 imperial officers and soldiers are willing to fight to the end for the glory of the empire!"
The commander of the Guard Division, Cao Wenyao, the commander of the First Brigade, the commander of the Second Brigade, Wu Fuming, and the commander of the regiment, Chen Fangrui, Wang Dahai, Yukiji Yamamoto, Ding Xiaogong, Li Yanzhao and other army generals expressed their opinions together.
This time, the Guards Division came out in full swing. Except for the first registrar that cooperated with the joint fleet in advance, all the other five registrars gathered, which made the total number of imperial sea and land officers and soldiers participating in the "Three Tigers" combat plan reach more than 35,000. It was the largest mobilization since the establishment of the Emperor's personal army, with the largest number of participating ships and various weapons.
In June, when Eunuch Wei formulated a Japanese combat plan at the Taipei Joint Fleet Base, he told the entire army that this was a general mobilization and a general attack, only success is allowed but not failure.
"We are ready to break the jade. We hope that the imperial army will be loyal to each other, eradicate the root of the disaster of the emperor, magnify the legacy of our ancestors, and be loyal and brave to maintain the honor of the empire!"
On the day of his expedition, Eunuch Wei wrote a suicide note and ordered people to copy several copies and send them one by one, and wrote another poem.
The poem says:
"Since ancient times, car books are mixed, why does the Japanese have to work hard?
The first peak of Furong is now available for a million-dollar capital."
Fuji is called Fuji.
This poem is vigorous and vigorous, and the atmosphere is magnificent, which illustrates the determination of Eunuch Wei to win the battle.
He said: "Get the result in one battle!"
As for "The Decree of the Japanese in the Heavens", there is no suspense in the Imperial Army's war against Japan, so the remaining Japanese troops in Ryukyu must be solved so that Ryukyu can become a solid base for the Imperial Army to conquer Japan.
After mobilizing orders, the various departments of the Imperial Army were full of ambitions. Everyone in the guards and guards and guard divisions asked for battle. Many officers and soldiers even took Qi Shaobao's poem "I am not my intention to be a marquis, I hope the sea waves will be peaceful" as a motto for life.
Within a few days, the base camp received as many as 10,000 blood letters from officers and soldiers asking for battle.
More than a hundred Japanese imperial soldiers gathered in front of the base camp and sweared to kill back to Japan to save their wife and daughter who were eating braised vegetables.
"Japan is not the Tokugawa family's Japan! Japan is not the corrupt officials! Japan is not the Japan of privileged people!"
"Please lead us to change Japan! If we don't change it, Japan will become hell!"
"Respecting the emperor and seeking traitors, and establishing the land of imperial deeds in Japan!"
“…”
Japanese officers and soldiers returned to their hometowns, liberated their hometowns, re-established a new Japan, and established a royal paradise belonging to the Imperial Ming Dynasty. The wish and fighting spirit deeply touched Eunuch Wei.
He hasn't been asleep for a long time.
"Wake up from the long sleep of thousands of disasters and rush to the new morning of the empire. As long as you have dreams, fame and fortune are nothing. Only loyalty will never be eliminated. Looking back on this life, you can always say that there is no regret!"
Eunuch Wei on the bow of the boat closed the paper fan with a "trumpet" and pointed to the towering Yachong Mountain in the distance.
"loyalty!"
Hundreds of generals and schoolmen stood at attention and saluted in the air.
"Prepare the affairs of the king and win the reputation of his life and his life."
Eunuch Wei stared affectionately, "Your Lords, for the glory of the empire, I ask you to kill all those who are enemies of the empire, no matter who they are!"
"Rise the flag and land!"
Shi Dezheng issued an order, and the "wow" horn sounded suddenly over the sea area, and more than 200 large and small warships rushed towards the coast.
After approaching the coast, small boats were released, and teams of imperial officers and soldiers lined up to the deck and descended onto the boat along the net rope on one side of the ship's side.
