"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good! A huge fleet is coming from the sea!" On Shannan Island, King Shang Bazhi of Zhongshan Kingdom was talking with Ono, Commander of the Ronin Fleet from Japan. Suddenly, there was a message outside the main hall of Shannan King's Palace. There was a cry of panic. "What are you howling in a panic?" King Shang Bazhi of Zhongshan Kingdom glanced at Commander Ono Fleet, stood up and said to the soldiers who hurried in. "Your Majesty, it's really bad. A huge fleet is coming from the sea. It's like the Ming Dynasty's cruise fleet. The ship is like a hill!" The soldier knelt on the ground and shouted to Zhongshan Kingdom in panic. Shang Bazhi shouted. "What?! How could the Ming Dynasty's fleet arrive so quickly?" King Shang Bazhi of Zhongshan Kingdom exclaimed in shock. "Really, Your Majesty, especially one of the ships. Although it's too dark to see clearly, the shape is indeed the same as the ship we participated in when the Ming Dynasty cruise fleet set sail. It's huge!" The soldier said seriously! Gotta say. "Let's go! I'll go out and take a look!" King Shang Bazhi of Zhongshan Kingdom said, then turned to look at Ono and said in Japanese: "Commander Ono, let's come too!" "Yo Xi, let's go and see what's going on!" Ono looked at him with a look on his face. He stood up, looked at Shang Bazhi and said. The palace of Shannan Kingdom was not big, and it was not as big as the residence of a third-rank official of the Ming Dynasty. They left the palace after a while. Outside the palace, the three of them got on their horses and galloped towards the seaside. "Lookout, report the opponent's direction of action!" Li Si stood on the bow of the Paradise and shouted to the lookout. The observation towers at the head and tail of the Paradise are very high, and they can completely overlook the entire Shannan Island. Of course, there is also the reason why Shannan Island is not big. Shannan Island was originally the hometown of the king of Shannan Kingdom, and it was split in the Ryukyu Kingdom. after. The king of Shannan Kingdom defied all opinions and settled the capital here. "Sir, the other party is rushing towards the dock. However, the other party has not yet gone to sea!" The lookout loudly reported the enemy's movements on Shannan Island. "Yes! Order the fleet to be on alert. Don't be careless!" Li Si nodded and gave the order. The entire Dragon God fleet quickly sailed towards the port of Shannan Island. "Your Majesty, look, it's over there, the other party's lights haven't even been extinguished!" King Shang Bazhi of Zhongshan Kingdom and Japanese Fleet Commander Ono have now reached a high ground on the seaside, looking towards the dark sea. Sure enough, on the dark sea, the brightly lit Dragon God Fleet is very conspicuous. It¡¯s like he¡¯s afraid that people won¡¯t know. "Could it be that the other party was not the reinforcements invited by that bitch from Shannan Kingdom? He was just a normal envoy?" Shang Bazhi, the king of Zhongshan Kingdom, guessed. "I don't think so!" Commander Ono suddenly said. There was also an interpreter beside him, so the words of King Shang Bazhi of Zhongshan Kingdom were translated to him. He said directly: "Ming people have always been cunning. , I think they are doing this to lure us to sea!" "Why?" The King of Zhongshan didn't react at all and asked directly, but he understood as soon as the words came out, "Mingren's fleet. It's huge, and the ships are huge. They can't get close to our island, so what they want is to attract us to the sea, where their ships can exert their greatest power!" Ono looked at Zhongshan King Shangba. Zhi said. "Well, what should we do?" Shang Bazhi, the king of Zhongshan Kingdom, asked. "If we go out now, we are throwing ourselves into a trap. We will stay on the island!" Ono gritted his teeth and said: "Our samurai in the Japanese Empire are the strongest. If they dare to come, I will keep them on the island forever! "Is this okay? Could it be that they are really just here for a cruise? If we go out to greet them, we can probably handle it!" King Shang Bazhi of Zhongshan Kingdom said tentatively. "No! I'm sure that the other party must have known that we have defeated Shannan Kingdom. You see, when the other party's fleet came over, they did not act as usual. They fired the trumpets and raised the flag!" Ono rejected the king of Zhongshan Kingdom with one word Shang Bazhi¡¯s words. . Ono was sent by the Emperor of Japan. The purpose of his visit this time was to find a way to incorporate the Ryukyu Islands into the territory of Japan. The King of Zhongshan Kingdom started to instigate rebellion a few years ago by the Japanese Emperor. Therefore, until now, the King of Zhongshan Kingdom finally could not withstand the desire to unify the Ryukyu Islands* , agreed to Japan¡¯s dispatch of troops. Although Shannan Kingdom was successfully defeated this time, and the king of Shannan Kingdom was killed and the crown prince was executed, leaving only an insignificant woman, but this does not mean that Zhongshan Kingdom will be tied to Japan's chariot from now on. Yes, in the final analysis, what happened on the Ryukyu Islands is still an internal dispute within the Ryukyu Islands, even if it is clearly knownIf it does, there won't be any clear indication. At most, it will just be canonized again. "Then what should we do?" The King of Zhongshan Kingdom felt very uncomfortable being sandwiched between the two countries. There were nearly 10,000 samurai from the Japanese Empire on the island, and tens of thousands of Japanese aliens. If he was forced to welcome the Ming Dynasty, The fleet will definitely be taken advantage of by the Japanese army to attack, but if they don't greet it, then the Ming Dynasty's anger will not be something that the Zhongshan Kingdom can bear. The current king of Zhongshan Kingdom was unable to dismount from the tiger. He suddenly had no idea and looked at Xiaoye anxiously and asked. "Strictly order all ships not to go to sea, and transport all artillery to the shore. If Ming's fleet dares to approach, open fire directly!" Ono said with a sullen face. "What?!" King Shang Bazhi of the Zhongshan Kingdom was shocked, "Are you really going to confront the Ming Dynasty's fleet? We will definitely be killed by them!" "Shut up! Why panic!" Ono shouted, " The Ming Dynasty's fleet does not dare to approach the coast, and they have few ships. I estimate that there are not many troops on it. If we hold on to the island, we should be able to hold on for a few days. I will send people to the empire now to ask for help and let the empire Send more warriors!" Ono calmed his tone slightly and encouraged the king of Zhongshan Kingdom. "But, the Ming Dynasty's fleet is at sea now. Although the ships can't get close, the opponent's cannons can definitely hit it!" The king of Zhongshan Kingdom recalled the time he went to the Ming Dynasty and the power of the Ming Dynasty's artillery. He was frightened. He said with trembling fear. "I'm sure that the other party will not come ashore. If their fleet commander is not stupid, he will definitely retreat when he sees so many torches on our island!" Ono said and pointed towards the center of the island. King Shang Bazhi of the Zhongshan Kingdom followed Ono's finger and saw that in the center of Shannan Island, torches had been lit. From a distance, Shannan Island was full of people, and the torches were so densely packed that it was difficult to see them. There are 70,000 to 80,000 pieces! "This is a tactic I learned from ancient China. I think it should be very effective!" Ono said confidently: "After we have been in a stalemate with them for a few days, the samurai from the Japanese Empire came. At that time, That big ship can be captured and used as your royal ship!" Ono kept making cakes for King Shang Bazhi of Zhongshan Kingdom. "Really? Give me such a big ship?" King Shang Bazhi of Zhongshan Kingdom looked at Ono in surprise and said, but he changed his direction in an instant: "No, no, no, such a big ship should be used by His Excellency the Emperor. Yes, I only need one of those boats at the back!" "Yo Xi, the Emperor will definitely see your loyalty!" Ono looked at Shang Bazhi with admiration. "Hey, this victory is all due to you, Commander Ono!" King Shang Bazhi of Zhongshan Kingdom said flatteringly. "It's good that you understand, I" Ono patted the shoulder of Shang Bazhi, the king of Zhongshan Kingdom, and was about to say something. Suddenly, he heard a thunderous sound beside him. Boom boom boom! However, while Ono was talking to Shang Bazhi, King of Zhongshan Kingdom, Li Si's Dragon God Fleet had already arrived at the port of Shannan Island. "Sir! The opponent's movements have stopped, and everyone is gathering in the center of Shannan Island!" The lookout's voice suddenly came, which surprised Li Si. "The other party has lit torches. There are so many torches. I'm afraid there are 70,000 to 80,000 torches! There are 70,000 to 80,000 enemies on the island!" Then, the lookout shouted loudly. "Light the torch?!" Li Si sneered. He was really smart. He was pretty good at picking up people's wits. "But if you really have a lot of troops, you don't have to play such a show, right?" "Command: Let the two captains Vespucci and Finn Blanco cruise around the island. If a ship is found, sink it immediately!" Li Si ordered loudly. "Yes! Sir!" "The Dragon God Fleet continues to move forward!" When the other party lit the torch, Li Si only thought for a moment and understood the other party's plan. Li Si asked Vespucci and Finn Blanco to The captain went to intercept the other party's signaling ship. The Dragon God fleet gradually sailed outside the port of Shannan Island. All ships were moored in the port, and no ships went to sea. "It seems that the other party is not fooled!" Li Si murmured, and then asked Princess Aniangya of Shannan Kingdom, who was always nervous next to her: "Tell me how far my ship can approach the island!" "My Lord's ship We can still go a little further, I will tell you when we get closer!" Of course Princess Shannan didn't know how close Li Si's Paradise could get, but fortunately there was someone beside her who was familiar with the terrain of Shannan Island. At this time, the man said the final words. "Well, pay attention!" Li Si said,The "Tangtang" slowly moved towards the port of Shannan Island. "Stop! Sir, you can't go any further!" The man suddenly shouted. Li Si raised his arm suddenly, swung the Dragon God Sword Staff back in his hand, and the speed of the Paradise ship slowly dropped to a stop. "The fleet lines up horizontally! Bombard Shannan Island!" Li Si shouted the order. "No! There are still my subjects on the island!" Princess Shannan quickly blocked Li Si's order. (To be continued)
