The news that Kojimabe called the Ming army to be wiped out in one day shocked Kazuo Kawayama, and he had to re-examine the powerful combat power of the Ming Dynasty's new force.

However, this stubborn and stubborn general of the Satsuma vassal who had participated in the battle to enter the country and defeated the famous Korean general Lee Sun-chen, but refused to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and hung the head of the envoy sent by Shangxian, the third son of King Shangfeng of Ryukyu, to the front of the formation to show that he was irreconcilable with the Ming army.

"Don't ask where the body and the soul return, since ancient times, no one knows the clouds."

As a branch of the Shimazu family, this poem by Shimazu Yuki, the founder of the Shimazu family, is Kazuo Kazuo's favorite. He wrote these two poems and gave them to Akian Murayama to show his determination to stick to Yaeshan.

Seeing that the General General was determined to stick to him, Deputy General Hirata Zengzong had no choice but to order the regent of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The Japanese monk Tennoji elder Kiku Yin threatened the imprisoned King Shangning and King Feng, who was in prison, to ask them to write an edict to the Ryukyu officials on the Yachong Islands, and let them organize residents to fight against the Ming army together.

He was obviously a monk, but he was the de facto King Ryukyu. Elder Juyin had no Buddhist kindness at all. He personally led the warriors to break into the mansion that imprisoned the Shang father and son.

"According to the "Fifteenth Articles of the Sword", Ryukyu is a permanent vassal of Satsuma, and the monarch and ministers also vowed to be loyal to the Shimazu clan forever. Now the Ming Dynasty invaded a large-scale invasion, and the Shang clan should sacrifice his life for the Shimazu clan!"

The so-called "Fifteen Regulations" is an unequal treaty signed by the Shang family and Japan.

After Kazuo Kawayama led his army to capture Ryukyu nine years ago, he captured more than a hundred men of King Shangning to Kagoshima. He then brought King Shangning from the Satsuma clan to Edo, and threatened Shangning to sign the "Fifteen Rules" in Edo.

After the contract was signed, Shang Ning was released back to Ryukyu, but lost his power. All the government affairs of his country were controlled by the monk Kikuto. Under the control of Kikuto, Shang Ning was forced to ced the Amami Islands to the Satsuma clan.

Although Shang Feng was nominally adopted son of Shang Ning, because Shang Ning had no son, Shang Feng was also the heir to the Ryukyu throne. He was taken to Japan as a hostage for two years, and was released back to Ryukyu last year and took the fief between Zhongcheng, so Ryukyu also called him Chaochang, the prince of Zhongcheng.

Shang Xian, who had broken away from the Japanese army and contacted the Ming army, was Shang Feng's son. According to Chinese etiquette, Shang Feng was the prince of Ryukyu, and Shang Xian was the emperor's grandson.

"If Shangjun cannot do this and regards the treaty as untrustworthy, then I will punish you on behalf of the Shimazu family!"

Ju Yin ordered the killing of two Ryukyu officials around Shangning because according to reliable information, the two Ryukyu officials were secretly contacting the traitor Shangxian.

In order to save his life, Shangning and Shangfeng, the father and son, had to cooperate with the Japanese army and organized thousands of military and civilians to assist the Japanese army in defending the island.

The Huashan tribe regarded the imperial army's persuasion to surrender to nothing, and shamelessly killed the envoy angered Eunuch Wei.

"Then, the mighty imperial soldiers do not need to wait and go into battle. Be sure to let the stupid Japanese army know the majesty of the imperial army and make those stubborn guys truly feel the terrible."

With the order of Eunuch Wei, the joint fleet first broke into Ishigaki Port and burned down the few ships of the Huashan tribe.

This also declares that the Karayama tribe, which governs the Yaeshan Islands, can no longer retreat to its homeland from the sea.

When the smoke from the port was rising, Deputy General Hirata was in pain for a long time. He knew that he could only follow the General General to die one way.

Immediately afterwards, an attack team composed of three infantry gangs of the First Brigade of the Guards Division began to land.

Because the Japanese army had no warships and no forts were set up in tidal flats, Kazuo Kao adopted the so-called "temptation of the enemy into the depth" strategy at the suggestion of Akian Murayama, which led to the First Brigade successfully landing with zero casualties.

Shen Shikui, the squadron leader of the Third Infantry Regiment, was the first to step onto the main island of Ishigaki and planted the military flag of his corps on the beach.

"Long live!"

Nearly 10,000 people wearing leggings, wearing brown-red military uniforms, and wearing large caps embroidered with the words "Emperor's Personal Army", cheers erupted throughout the port.

"attack!"

Cao Wenyao, the commander of the Guard Division, issued an offensive order, and the three infantry regiments of the First Brigade quickly attacked and advanced as planned.

Eunuch Wei, who was watching the battle on the flagship East Asia, expressed high recognition of the bravery of the Imperial Army officers and soldiers who were lined up in a row in a row and spreading into depth like a tide.

The Second Regiment was the first to exchange fire with the Japanese army, and the fire exchange was 11 miles away from the mudflat.

The Japanese army dispatched nearly 4,000 troops, including the most elite iron gun team of Kamayama's main formation, and more than 1,000 Ryukyu soldiers and civilians who were forcibly tied to the chariot by them.

The person who commanded this Japanese army was Hirata Zisong. The eldest son of Kazuyama, Kazuyama, who was very tall, personally directed the iron gun team to fight.

The Japanese army intended to defeat the Second Regiment of the Imperial Army with elite forces, but they soon discovered that the strategy of luring the enemy into depth was very stupid.

Moreover, the equipment and firepower advantages of the Ming army were difficult for them to compete with.

After two hours of fierce fighting, the Second Regiment successfully defeated the Japanese army. Kuan Kawayama was killed on the spot. Yubi Xiaoheng Ji'an, the gun was followed by the Dragon of Huashan, and the soldiers and food were followed by more than ten Japanese generals including Jiro Tanama were killed.

In this battle, the Imperial Army killed more than 1,200 Japanese troops (including the Ryukyu puppet army), and suffered more than 300 casualties.

After learning that his son Jiuan died in battle, Kugao Kawayama was very pleased and said, "He went to the underworld with a sage. The warrior's name is Tatsumatsu Moss."

The victory in the first battle greatly encouraged the imperial army officers and soldiers, but then the troops found that the Japanese army did not passively avoid the war because of the defeat, but instead became more tenacious.

After the development, the Imperial Army had to go through many bloody battles in some dangerous areas, even every rock.

The fierce battle lasted for four days, and the Imperial Army made less than fifty miles.

The Navy was very dissatisfied with the army's slow progress, and some generals even openly accused Cao Wenyao of the command and tactics of the command and tactics of the Guard Division, which caused disputes between the mainland and the Navy.

"Self-free quarrels do not help the battlefield, nor do they help reduce casualties between officers and soldiers. Tell those naval generals who accuse the army that our family needs unity, help, not meaningless quarrels!"

Eunuch Wei was very dissatisfied with the Navy's performance, because he had repeatedly reiterated that the navy and the army must be tense and united like brothers.

At the same time, he sent a handwritten letter to Cao Wenyao, the commander of the Guard Division - "The Army must know shame!"

The generals of the Guards Division were deeply excited after seeing the letter from their father-in-law. The division commander Cao Wenyao urgently convened a pre-military meeting, and made some adjustments to the pre-war combat plan, and used two regiments to capture Ishigaki Island occupied by the main force of the Japanese army. The other registrars swept and attacked the remaining large and small islands.

"This attack will be played by my first team as a pioneer. If the first team cannot make the major progress required by the division, I will apologize to the division and lord!"

The captain of the First Regiment, Ichiro Sanada made a military order.

The captain of the second regiment, Chen Guangrui, was unwilling to fall behind, and also stood up and said, "The officers and soldiers of the second regiment are not raised by my mother. If the attack is not smooth, I will raise my head to see my father-in-law!"

The Guard Division, which knew the shame and then braved, quickly made a major breakthrough. After a day of fierce fighting, the Guard Division defeated the Japanese army occupying the Ryukyu State Mansion of Ishigakishima with two regiments, killing more than 2,000 enemies. It was successfully rescued Shangning, Shangfeng and his son. The Japanese monk Juyin hanged himself when the Imperial Army attacked his government.

However, Eunuch Wei was filled with joy and thought that capturing the Japanese command center meant that the battle was about to end, but his idea was very wrong, and the Japanese army's fight for beasts became even more crazy!

The remaining part of Huashan Jiugao retreated to the southern end of Ishigaki Island, which was a natural barrier composed of two peaks. The terrain was rugged and steep. The Japanese army made full use of the terrain and cleverly concealed.

Kaora Kaora was determined to rely on this and fight to the last soldier, so the Japanese army's resistance did not weaken at all. Faced with the more crazy resistance of the Japanese army, the Imperial Army attacked more fiercely.

By July 24, the Japanese army had only more than a thousand men left, more than half of the iron guns were lost, and there was not much ammunition left, but they still fought to the death and refused to retreat.

On the 25th, Eunuch Wei personally visited the battlefield and rode a horse in front of the Japanese mountain to inspect the attacking team, and beheaded hundreds of Japanese prisoners in front of the formation.

"This is the final battle. No one can take away the honors belonging to the imperial officers and soldiers. For the sake of the Emperor Ming and His Majesty, please kill all your enemies and kill them mercilessly!"

"Bald!"

Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers raised their hands together, and the sound shook the sky.

"attack!"

As the flag was waving and amid the sound of the trumpet, the officers and soldiers of the imperial army lined up in a row and charged towards the Japanese army with muskets cast with bayonets at the front.

"Your Excellency, this is our last battle." Akian Murayama looked at the red sea of ​​people under the peaks in desolately.

In the early morning of the 26th, after knowing that the Ming army was about to attack the hill where he was, Kazugao took off his iron armor, put on the black-patterned Fu Yu's paintings and Akian Murayama beside him, and toasted one by one, drank the last farewell wine, and then committed suicide by cesarean sectioning.

Akian Murayama followed Kazuo to commit suicide by committing suicide by cesarean section. Some other samurai also chose to follow after knowing that the General General had already cut off his stomach.

Radishon Masato did not choose to commit suicide, but instead summoned the remaining Japanese troops to put down their weapons and surrender to the Ming army. At this point, the organized resistance of the Japanese army was quelled, while the sporadic Japanese resistance continued, and the work of clearing out the remaining Japanese troops continued until the 30th.

On August 1st, the Admiral Maritime Eunuch and the Chief Eunuch of the Ming Emperor's personal army, Wei Liangchen, sent a good news to Beijing, saying that he had all annihilated the Japanese army invading Ryukyu, and the Japanese chief Huashan Jiugao, and Kurayama Qiu'an and others were all killed. The King of Ryukyu Shangning has now officially proposed to the Ming Dynasty to support him, and from then on he will not be a vassal overseas, but will be a permanent residence of the Ming Dynasty.

"...... Ryukyu's Jinliang, an important node in maritime trade, whether it is Western specialties or gold and silver from the Eastern Ocean, they must be transferred from this Jinliang. Therefore, this important maritime affairs must not be lost to our country. I specially asked Your Majesty to set up a guardian position in Ryukyu, garrison the imperial army, and commission officials to serve as officials to completely become kings..."
