Become a feudal king from today

"You deserve to die, especially you, Shang An!" Shang Bin knelt in front of the trembling fat King of Ryukyu.

After Japan occupied Ryukyu, his seventh brother Shang An and a group of ministers worked together to massacre tens of thousands of Ryukyu people who resisted Japan for the Ryukyu throne.

In recent years, in order to please the Japanese army, they even forced Ryukyu women from good families to go to Japanese military camps and allowed themselves to be humiliated by Japanese soldiers.

In terms of taxes, Shang An even imposed heavy taxes on the Ryukyu people and paid them to the Japanese shogunate to win the shogunate's recognition of him.

All the behaviors are worse than animals.

From Shang'an to the Ryukyu officials who helped the emperor to commit crimes, he was killed thousands of times, and it was difficult to understand the hatred in his heart.

Looking at Zhou Yi, he said: "General, kill them. These people's hands are stained with the blood of Ryukyu people."

"Drag them all out and behead them!" Zhou Yi shouted.

Hearing this, the Ryukyu ministers who were kneeling on the ground collapsed in fear and kept begging for mercy.

Some Ryukyu ministers even peeed and excreted.

The King of Ryukyu, Shang An, was so frightened that he was shaking all over from the moment he was captured. He couldn't say a word, and now he fainted.

After receiving the order, the Marines dragged all the Ryukyu ministers out of the palace.

After a while, crying and screaming started one after another, and then became quiet.

At this time, Shang Bin said to the minister behind him: "You immediately take over the various official offices in Ryukyu, and sentence the Ryukyu officials in the official offices according to their crimes. Those who have committed the most serious crimes will be killed without mercy. The next best thing is to put them in jail. Those who can use them will be used."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ryukyu officials shouted in unison.

After killing Shang An, Shang Bin is now the king of Ryukyu.

Immediately, they turned around and walked outside.

Zhou Yi dispatched more than a thousand soldiers to follow them to take over the government office.

Then, he said: "Your palace is in a mess, so I won't eat here tonight. Let's wait until we capture the entire Ryukyu Kingdom."

There are South Island and North Island to the north and south of Zhongdao. They only occupied Zhongdao.

Shang Bin smiled and said: "When I take over Ryukyu, I will entertain the generals and soldiers."

The Marines were ordered not to disturb the people and spent the night in the Ryukyu Royal Castle.

The next day, Zhou Yi ordered Pan Chang to capture the South Island and the North Island.

After two days of fighting, the remaining eight thousand Japanese soldiers were all annihilated.

at the same time.

The news that Shang Bin returned to Ryukyu spread throughout the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Because the Marine soldier Qiu did not commit any crime, Ryukyu people also took to the streets.

At this time, they learned that Shang An and the ministers who had committed the most heinous crimes were all executed.

Moreover, King Shang Bin overturned Shang An's decree, the heavy taxes were gone, and the women who had suffered in the Japanese military camp also returned home.

"The king is back, Ryukyu's hard days are finally over." The old people of Ryukyu cried bitterly.

The young men had tears in their eyes, although they only knew about the Ryukyu Crown Prince through the stories of the old people.

But the decree introduced by Shang Bin has won their hearts.

Together with the old people, they came to the palace, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the palace.

Shang Bin, wearing a royal robe, waved to the people on the palace wall.

Zhou Yi stood beside Shang Bin and said, "You really do have some support from the people."

With a smile on his face, Shang Bin took Zhou Yi's hand and waved to the people, "This all depends on the kindness of His Highness and the bloody battles of the soldiers. From now on, Ryukyu will be my Ryukyu, Shang Bin's Ryukyu, and it will also be the Ryukyu of His Highness King Yan. "

"Hahaha..." Zhou Yi laughed.

The location of Ryukyu is very important. The South Island, the Central Island, and the North Island stretch for more than 600 miles, lying between Yizhou and Japan.

By controlling this place, the navy's scope of activities will be greatly expanded.

They can also expand their scope of activities from Yanzhou to Yizhou waters without carrying a supply ship.

At the same time, merchant ships will also benefit from this.

After all, Ryukyu was a transit point for trade between Japan and Western countries.

…

Pengcheng.

At the same time that Zhou Yi captured Ryukyu, Chang Wei arrived here under his command.

The distance from Lucheng to here is six hundred miles.

Except for taking Yicheng in one day, almost all their time was spent on the road.

After all, the road from Lucheng to Yicheng is basically a mountain road.

But after passing Yicheng, there is an endless plain.

They walked for a whole day and didn't even see a mountain.

Until Pengcheng, there are only a few scattered hills standing on the ground.

However, these hills are basically separate and not connected.

There is a large area of ​​farmland between the two mountains, which does not affect their march at all and does not provide a natural barrier for Pengcheng.

"No wonder the world's food comes from Xie's family. There are farmlands, lakes and rivers everywhere here." Looking at the top of Pengcheng, Qin Shan sighed with emotion.

Guan Tongtong: "What's the Xie family? This place will be ours soon."

"That's right." Lu Chang pinched.

Along the way, the speed of the Shi tribe's army disintegrating was basically equal to their marching speed.

This Pengcheng is also within reach.

After the three said this, they looked at each other and laughed.

Chang Wei ignored the three people.

He was looking at Pengcheng intently.

Since ancient times, Pengcheng has been a battleground for military strategists.

The reason is that to the south of Pengcheng is the Huai River.

Taking Pengcheng is equivalent to controlling the Huai River.

And by controlling the Huai River, the counties and counties south of the Huai River will no longer have natural protection to rely on, and will only be swallowed up by the enemy.

Their only option was to escape to Jinling and rely on the natural dangers of Jiujiang to fend off the enemy.

Therefore, the powerful clans would accumulate heavy troops here to fight with them.

If they win, they can hold the Huai River, and the counties in the south will be safe.

If they lose, they can also delay the attack of the troops of Yanzhou.

According to the news sent by the scouts, during the days of retreat, the powerful families have recruited private soldiers of the powerful families.

There are about 300,000 private soldiers of the powerful families who fled from Qizhou, and those who came from Yuzhou, Ningzhou, and Bozhou.

Half of them gathered here.

The remaining half continued to move south and went to Huaicheng with the powerful family army.

But even so, there are about 300,000 people in Pengcheng.

The powerful families such as Xie, Wang, and Han have 50,000 soldiers each, and 150,000 private soldiers of the powerful families.

Although these private soldiers of the powerful families are like chickens and dogs in their eyes.

But so many soldiers piled in a city will still cause them some trouble.

At least it will cause more casualties to the royal family.

And I am afraid that Pengcheng cannot be taken in one day, it will take several days.

However, they had to fight. Going south by bypassing the city was equivalent to leaving the back of the royal army to these 300,000 soldiers.

"It's not too late to be happy after taking Pengcheng." Chang Wei put away the telescope, "Prepare to attack the city!"

After saying yes, Qin Shan and the other two returned to their respective armies.

Then, they sent soldiers to dig trenches in the direction of the city wall.

Although this new tactic was monotonous and boring, it was very effective every time.

It often won the victory with the least casualties.

This battle would only take more time, so trenches were needed to protect the safety of the soldiers.
