The news of the arrival of the Ming** team's reinforcements was soon discovered by the Japanese army trapped in Miyako Island and Yaeyama Islands. Deputy General Hirata Masato immediately reported the enemy situation to General General Kawayama Kutaka.

"Grand General, the Ming people's fleet has brought a large number of Ming troops. Our spies estimate that there are about 20,000 Ming troops to reinforce! The Ming people launched a general attack on us. Given that our army is less than 5,000, please order the retreat!"

As an assistant to General Kawayama, although Hirata Masato is not a retainer of the Kawayama family, as an important official of the Satsuma family, he has the responsibility to remind General Kawayama that the current situation is very steadily. It is a wise choice to safely withdraw thousands of troops from Ryukyu to the Satsuma family.

"asshole!"

The sixty-year-old general was unwilling to retreat because he personally led his troops to attack and attack nine years ago. For this reason, he was highly praised by the vassal lord Shimazu Tadaetsu and also recognized by General Tokugawa, and appointed him as the governor Daisuke and Mino Guard.

It was precisely through its merits of conquering Ryukyu that the once expelled Kasuaga family returned to the core of power in the Satsuma vassal state.

More importantly, the effective control of Ryukyu Island has allowed the Huashan family to make a fortune, so how can they give up easily!

"Your Excellency, I need to remind you that neither the shogunate nor the vassal states, there are no reinforcements sent, and we are fighting alone."

Hirata Masato tried to persuade the stubborn general again that since the Ming team invaded Ryukyu, they had sent more than a dozen letters to our vassal and the shogunate to report emergency floods, requesting that the local people could send additional troops to Ryukyu.

However, neither the shogunate nor the vassal state could pay attention to the Ming army's invasion, believing that this was just a counterattack and retaliation by the local governments on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty for the attack on Taiwan by the Murayama fleet, and it was not worth the local dispatch of large troops to fight.

In addition, due to the sudden death of General Tokugawa, General Hidetachi, who succeeded to the throne, was busy completing the inheritance of power and rectifying the Shogunate system, and also suppressing Catholics in the country, so he really couldn't help Ryukyu.

It is said that General Hidetachi decided to follow General Ieyasu's wish to "marry with the Emperor of Heaven" during his lifetime and personally went to Luo to ask Emperor Gomizuo to marry his daughter and son as his concubines. However, this move was opposed by the ministers around the Emperor, so at this critical moment, General Hidetachi was even more unlikely to draw a large army to come to Ryukyu and the Ming* team to fight again.

The lessons of the Toyotomi era's entry into the dynasty have made Japan's memory very profound. If Toyotomi Hideyoshi had not been determined to do so, perhaps there would have been no Tokugawa shogunate now.

It can be said that avoiding large-scale battles with the Ming court and the Ming ** team was a consensus decision of the shogunate and various vassals.

Under such circumstances, it is completely unrealistic to hope that the local government can send large troops to reinforce Ryukyu in a timely manner.

If the Ming Dynasty had not sent reinforcements on a large scale, Hirata Zizong would have the confidence to resist the Ming army with the favorable terrain of Miyako and Yaeshan.

At the beginning, he and Kugao Kaori made the same judgment on the sudden invasion of the Ming army, that is, they both firmly believe that the invasion launched by the Ming team will never last.

But now, Hirata Zengzong has completely rejected his previous views. He believes that the invasion of the Ming team, like the entry into the court more than 20 years ago, was the second rescue of the vassals by the emperor and the court, and it is very likely that it was a general mobilization like the last time.

Then, without local support, Hirata Zisen completely lost confidence in defending Miyako and Yaeyama.

He couldn't wait to retreat.

This has nothing to do with the decency and dignity of the warrior, but rather the action and inaction determined by the wise.

"The Ming people have received the support of Shangxian and those Ryukyu untouchables. Their fleet can effectively block the islands, but we have no support. It is an irrational choice to persevere. General!" Hirata Zengzong said earnestly.

"What's the terrible thing about the Ming Dynasty's army? If they were really powerful, they wouldn't be able to take Miyako Island for half a year!"

Karayama, who was shorter than Hirata, still couldn't listen to Hirata's loyal advice. He looked at the group of generals and said proudly: "There is nothing scary. The Ming people have a saying, "Call the soldiers and generals will come to stop them, and the water will flood the soil. Even if they transfer new forces, they will never want to take Miyako and Yaeshan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest man, Kazuho, ​​who had been tall for a long time, proudly raised his voice with a samurai sword: "My father said it is right. The Ming people are not that scary. Can their generals be compared to Lee Sun-sin in North Korea?"

The generals were all excited when they heard this. Yes, their general not only entered the North Korea to fight against the Ming army, but also defeated the famous North Korean general Lee Sun-sen. What else should they worry about?

Hirata Masato frowned, and the optimism of his generals and the stubbornness of his superiors made him unable to dissuade him.

"The occupation of Ryukyu was a plan formulated by General Tokugawa during his lifetime. This plan also included the occupation of the East Fan. Unfortunately, my incompetence caused the failure of the East Fan plan, and my fleet was also wiped out by the Ming army. But I knew that Japan could not have the East Fan for the time being, but it was absolutely impossible to have Ryukyu."

After the defeat, Akian Murayama, who was planning for him, stood up in Kazuo Yama, who was planning for him. He looked at Hirata Zengzo calmly, "Mr. Deputy General, the retreat you proposed can preserve our strength, but please don't forget how firmly General Hidetaka obeyed his father's wishes during his lifetime!"

"this..."

Hirata Masato was silent. General Hidetachi, the heir appointed by Tokugawa, was a very cold person.

As a deputy general, he would not give up the advice of Ryukyu if he didn't take it, because the charge of giving up Ryukyu in the future will definitely fall on him.

"Prepare for the battle, the Ming Dynasty's new forces will definitely show their powerful military strength to the Ryukyu people."

Kasuoya Kasuo raised his hand and said firmly: "My grandfather is Kasuoya Kasuoya, my father is Kasuoya Kasuoya. I Kasuoya Kasuoya was the thirteenth generation and the governor of the Kasuoya family. As the Shimazu family's elder and important minister of the Satsuma family, I will never give up the land occupied by the soldiers with blood, and will not insult the family tradition of my Kasuoya family!"

"Hayi!"

More than a dozen officers from the long-heightened army of Huashan bowed together to respond to the order.

.........

"The Lord of the Karayama clan was originally a member of the Shimazu clan, and Kutaka was the thirteenth generation master. In his early years, Kutaka was the daughter of Tadazozo Ono, the important minister of the Shimazu clan, who was adopted by his son-in-law, and the daughter of Tadazozo, the important minister of the Shimazu clan, got married. However, Tadazozo lost power and divorced and returned to the original Karayama clan. Karayama's brother, Kutaka, died early, and his son died young, so he finally succeeded as the governor of the Karayama family.

After Tadahoshi Shimazu succeeded as the governor of the Shimazu family, Kazuo Kawayama was appointed as the family's elder, and was highly valued by Shimazu. He joined Shimazu Yoshihiro to participate in the Wanli Korean War and defeated the North Korean Lee Sun-sin army."

Miyakojima, the captain of the first wing of the First Brigade of the Guard Division, Ichiro Sanada was introducing his lord, his enemy, Kazuo Kawayama.

Ichiro Sanada was very excited, on the one hand, because he had not seen his lord for more than half a year; on the other hand, he really wanted to lead them back to the Japanese emperor to seek rape!

"Nani? The one who can defeat Lee Sun-sin..."

Eunuch Wei narrowed his eyes. The famous general Li Shunchen had a higher moisture content, but he was indeed a character. The fact that this Huashan Jiugao was able to defeat Li Shunchen means that he still had two tricks.

Just as he was about to ask carefully about the specific deployment of the Japanese army in Sanada Miyakoshima, Ankuniji, the commander of the engineering corps, said disdainfully:
Chapter completed!
