    Time passed quickly, and within a few days, the weapons and ammunition transported from Australia's Ascension Port and the Yaju warriors from Irian Island had arrived successfully. Thousands of people were selected from King Shangtai's supporters to form the Liberation Army, and they were given a short training session.  After that, the battle to regain the Ryukyu Kingdom began.  In this expedition, the Yazhen fleet not only demonstrated the unparalleled power of the fleet, but also demonstrated the sharp and powerful combat effectiveness of the well-disciplined and well-trained marine brigade in front of the world.  The Japanese troops stationed in the Ryukyu Islands were some local troops and puppet troops recruited locally. Their combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning compared with its local regular army.  Encountering the numerically superior Liberation Army, with the powerful and ferocious Yazhen team helping them, they were unable to organize even a decent resistance.  In less than a week, the Japanese soldiers on the main island of Ryukyu were completely defeated, and they all fled to Amami Island to survive, struggling to wait for the Japanese mainland to send troops to rescue them.  At this moment, the whole country of Japan was in chaos.  The news that the entire combined fleet was annihilated and the Sasebo naval port was destroyed could not be concealed at all. Once it came out, the whole country was in an uproar.  The Japanese citizens who had high hopes for the navy and could not accept its disastrous defeat took to the streets to demonstrate and cause trouble. In order to quell public anger, the Navy Chief of Military Command Shiki Kayama had to resign.  After receiving an urgent call for help from the Naha defenders, the anxious Minister of War and Minister of the Navy, Saigo Yumichi, urgently requisitioned a large merchant ship to transport soldiers from two regiments in batches to the rescue.  But after the merchant ship full of soldiers left the Yokosuka military port, there was no news again.  The supply ports along the way also remained intact, as if the troop transport disappeared into the sea out of thin air.  The Japanese don¡¯t know why, but all of this, needless to say, is the meritorious work of Lin Jiakai and Qu Fei who led the submarine.  King Shang Tai¡¯s newly formed Liberation Army and the landing warriors of the Yaju Marine Brigade, with the fierce artillery fire from the two battleships Tengfei and Tengyun, dispatched more than ten thousand soldiers to storm Amami Oshima.  The remaining Japanese soldiers guarding the island had no fighting spirit inside and no reinforcements from outside. They could not withstand the attack of the army at all.  After only resisting for half a day, Amami Oshima fell.  In this battle, a total of more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers were annihilated, and more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers and Ryukyu puppet troops were captured. The Liberation Army and the Yajuan Army only suffered less than 1,000 casualties and completely wiped out the Japanese armed forces on the Ryukyu Islands.  On the day of the great victory on Amami Oshima, Sh¨­tai, who once again sat on the throne of the Ryukyu King, issued an edict at the Shuri Castle Palace, declaring the success of the restoration of the country.  He also announced to the people that he would continue to hire mercenaries to protect the reborn Ryukyu Kingdom.  No one of the Ryukyu people who had accepted their fate would have thought that since March 1879, the Japanese nation had brazenly ordered Prince Nakihito, the acting king of Ryukyu, to hand over power and announce the "abolition of Ryukyu and the establishment of a prefecture" in Shuri Castle.  The kingdom, which had been in ruins since then, was successfully restored after fifteen years.  After King Shangtai¡¯s edict was announced nationwide, Ryukyu citizens who had been bullied and exploited by the Japanese took to the streets to celebrate their victory.  For a time, crowds and scenes celebrating the resumption of the Ryukyu Islands could be seen everywhere.  At this time, the leaders of the Yaju mercenaries discussed and decided that Cheng Lifeng's battleship Teng Yun and the Yaju warriors from Irian Island would temporarily stay in Ryukyu, while the flagship Tengfei carried Liu Zhenhua, Yunfeng and others to the Huaxia Treasure Island and  Tengjiao meets up.  After all, an important event planned by Liu Zhenhua is about to happen. This event may affect the general trend of China in the future, and he needs to personally take charge of Baodao to deal with the changes.  As for the possible counterattack by the Japanese side, he did not pay attention to it.  When chatting with Jiang Shuisheng and others, Liu Zhenhua once said that if the little devil dares to be dishonest, he will not rule out building more than ten or twenty submarines to completely block the sea passages of the four Japanese islands and turn them into isolated islands.  Jiang Shuisheng, Xie Wenyuan and others agreed with this, and no one doubted that Liu Zhenhua was telling lies.  Although they did not know the secret cave shipyard controlled by Zhinao Xuannv, they knew that the technicians at the Tengfei Port Shipyard had already mastered the submarine construction technology.  If you want to increase the number of submarines in large quantities, diesel-electric engines and special steel are readily available.  Just one command, wait a few days and you will see the results.  Ryukyu and Treasure Island are not far apart, and the two places face each other across the sea.  Standing on Keelung Mountain on the island and looking far away, you can see the landforms of Ryukyu.  Moreover, there is radio communication at any time. If there is an emergency, a telegram can quickly come to provide military support.  After arranging the follow-up matters such as the selection of the leased port, Liu Zhenhua, who did not like polite communication, declined the kind invitation of Ryukyu King Shang Tai and embarked on a voyage to the treasure island.  Strange to say, since Liu Zhenhua traveled through time, he has been constantly in touch with Baodao. To say that he has been to the most places in this life, Baodao should be ranked first.  The sea breeze is gentle and the waves are gentle.  The weather in recent days has beenVery clear and excellent visibility on the sea.  While the warship was sailing, Liu Zhenhua stood on the bow deck of the Tengfei, looking at the scenery of the magnificent treasure island getting closer and closer, with a lot of thoughts.  As he was about to set foot on this old place again, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. ³ïJing has been thinking for a long time, and has made so many years of preparation for this.  It is to prevent the treasure island from falling into the hands of the Japanese and being ravaged and trampled by them again.  Now, the Japanese country has been defeated and unable to attack.  Come to think of it, this pearl in the Chinese sea has been preserved.  The scenery of Keelung Port is still the same. Although the Tengjiao appeared first, when the battleship Tengfei slowly approached the coast, its shocking and majestic size still attracted exclamations from the people on the dock in the distance.  , competing to shout and climb up to watch.  Zhang Guodong, who served as the captain of the Tengjiao, did not inform others of the arrival of the Tengfei and Liu Zhenhua, but the Baodao Navy gunboats who got the news in the military port quickly dispatched after hearing the news.  Although there are only two ironclads and a few torpedo boats, they cannot withstand a single bombardment from the Tengfei in battle.  However, the fleet's quick response also allowed Liu Zhenhua to see that Governor Liu Mingchuan had indeed put a lot of effort into Baodao Navy.  Raising a flag, he showed his identity to the navy ship.  The officers and soldiers of the Baodao Navy, who had been shocked once by the Tengjiao, were now mentally prepared.  After confirming that the incoming ship was a friend rather than an enemy, a ship was immediately sent to lead the Tengfei into the military port on one side to dock.  The military port dedicated to Baodao Navy is not far away. It is only separated from the commercial port by a hill, but the water level here is deeper and the water area is wider than that of the commercial port.  Entering the port, the Tengjiao, which arrived first, first came into view. Eight gunboats of the Beiyang Navy were also anchored here.  Before the warship reached the shore, Liu Shengyun was already seen on the dock.  Liu Zhenhua grabbed the telescope and looked at it, feeling a little puzzled.  I only came to Panheng, Treasure Island, at the beginning of the year and met the Liu family and his son. It was only about half a year ago. Is it necessary for Brother Liu to look so excited?  After dropping the anchor at the shore and setting up the gangway on the pier, Liu Zhenhua greeted Deng Shichang, who was traveling with the ship, and other crew members to lead the way to the bottom of the ship.  But before he even set foot on the dock, he saw a figure shaking in front of him, and a pair of fists as big as a bowl came straight towards the door.  This kind of sneak attack did not pose much threat to Liu Zhenhua. He quickly raised his hand to grab Liu Shengyun's incoming fist and said with a smile: "Hey, Brother Liu, I have traveled thousands of miles to come to Treasure Island. Didn't I hear you when we just met?  Just saying a kind word and then attacking aggressively is not the way a landlord should treat guests!" "Go, you are so unreasonable, you keep treating us like monkeys and hiding good things to us.  It¡¯s a waste of money. Huh! I¡¯ve finally seen through this sinister guy like you! Let go now, I¡¯m not done with you anymore!¡± Liu Shengyun replied bitterly, gritting her teeth and shaking her head twice.  No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't pull his fist back.  "Ah! Where should I start talking about this? I have never done anything unreasonable. I hope Brother Liu will say it clearly. If it is true, I will definitely accept the punishment." After Liu Zhenhua heard Liu Shengyun's noisy words, he was already  Clearly, he was dissatisfied with the gunboat incident.  I felt both funny and helpless in my heart.  But he was not bad, and deliberately pretended to be confused.  "You son of a bitch, you're still not backing down! I asked you to come to greet the distinguished guests, but you are fooling around here? How can you argue with nephew Zhenhua and still say bad things to each other? If the news spreads, won't others laugh at me, Liu Shengsan's tutor?"  "It's not strict!" "Yes. Father" "My uncle, I've seen him well."  "Greetings to the two Sirs Liu!" "Your Majesty, please see the Governor and the Commander-in-Chief!" After a flurry of greetings, it turned out that Liu Mingchuan, the governor of Baodao, and Liu Buchan, the commander-in-chief of the right wing of the Beiyang Navy, arrived at the same time.
