Zheng Zhilong ordered Fu Chuan to monitor nearby, and then ordered Haicang Chuan to help the injured Ming Chuan first, or transfer the Ming army, or make simple repairs.
Some ships actually just have a hole in the deck, and it only needs to be covered with a layer of wood.
If it does lose the ability to move, it can only be dragged back for repairs after the battle is completed.
As for the Satsuma ship that lost its combat effectiveness, the crew was ordered to tie themselves up and surrender.
If they did not obey, they would be sunk with cannons.
The Japanese who fell into the water asked if he was willing to surrender.
If he was willing, he would pull him up.
If he was not willing, he would just use a firecracker to help him die early.
In this naval battle, a total of 13 ships of the Ming army were injured, more than 30 soldiers died, and more than 100 were injured.
However, a total of thirty-five members of the Satsuma clan were left behind, and more than two thousand Satsuma people were captured or killed.
Such an exchange ratio is extremely rare no matter where it is placed.
Of course, first of all, the equipment of the Ming army was indeed better than that of the Satsuma clan.
Only two lucky ships damaged a total of twelve ships of the Satsuma clan, but they themselves were unscathed, and there were no casualties among the crew.
The second reason is that pirates themselves are good at naval combat, and Zheng Zhilong is indeed a naval combat talent.
He can always adopt correct countermeasures to minimize his own losses and inflict a heavier blow to the enemy.
The fleeing Ming army Haicang ships pursued them all the way to Kirishima.
They left unwillingly until the artillery fire on the shore began to bombard them.
They left three more Satsuma ships behind, but Kaguyama Jiugao still escaped.
In this way, the Satsuma navy lost a total of thirty-eight ships and more than 2,000 soldiers.
The elite Satsuma navy suffered heavy losses.
Kaguyama Kutaka knelt down in front of Shimazu Tadahashi to apologize.
Shimazu Tadahashi sighed.
He said in a tone: "I can't blame you, they are indeed very powerful."
He walked two steps: "I don't know when the troops from the shogunate will come, but they may not be able to defeat the Ming people even if they come, so we have to think of some ways."
At this time, his son Shimazu Mitsuhisa said: "Father, why don't we urge them again, so that they have no excuse."
Shimazu Tadahashi shook his head and said: "As long as they want to delay, they will always find a reason.
The shogunate doesn't like us in the first place, so it's possible to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight.
I'm afraid that in the end, after watching back and forth, a dragon will come in.
It’s unclear whether the situation can be resolved by then.”
Shimazu Mitsuhisa gritted his teeth and said: "Is the Tokugawa family so insidious?
We are all the emperor's ministers after all."
Shimazu Tadahashi smiled and said: "Emperor, what do they think of the Emperor?
Do you still expect them to care about this?"
He thought for a while and said, "Go ahead and urge them.
Whether they come or not is their business, and whether they urge you or not is our business.
We must leave them with nothing to say in the future."
Shimazu Mitsuhisa nodded and left.
Shimazu Tadahashi said to Kaguyama Hisaka who was still kneeling: "Get up, how many sailors do we still have?"
Huashan Jiugao still knelt and said: "We still have forty ships, but the losses of soldiers this time are too great, I'm afraid we can't organize an effective counterattack."
Shimazu Tadahashi sighed, waved his hand, and slowly walked into the inner room.
Huashan Jiugao kowtowed a few more times, then stood up and retreated slowly.
In fact, Shimazu Tadahashi had wronged the shogunate.
The troops sent by Tokugawa Hidetada had already moved towards Satsuma Domain, but they were stopped by Zhou Yuji.
After Zhou Yuji occupied Akune, he sent troops to capture Izumi, which was twenty miles away from Akune.
He set up a guard at Izumi, and when the shogunate's troops arrived, the guard sent the intelligence to Akune.

Zhou Yuji pondered while looking at the information.
There were about 4,000 enemy troops, and their equipment was worse than that of the Guards.
These were all expected.
However, Zhou Yuji was worried that the shogunate only had 4,000 troops.
Was it fearless or was Yelang arrogant?
In fact, he was worried in vain.
The Satsuma Domain was considered a domain with a larger Japanese army and was more capable of fighting.
During the Warring States Period in Japan, a battle of several thousand people was considered a huge scene.
The shogunate recruited troops from several domains. , he only managed to gather 7,000 people, and being able to come here with 4,000 people is already considered very respectable for him.
No matter what, preparations should be made.
Zhou Yuji planned to defend Akune to the death, using the weapons advantage of the Guards and Akune's earthen fence to inflict greater damage to the shogunate army.
On this day, the shogunate army finally arrived outside Akune Castle.
After some simple repairs, Akune is now barely ventilated, but it still only takes a ladder to climb up.
However, a large number of artillery and firecrackers are arranged on the city wall.
Whether the ladder can be set up depends on whether they agree or not.
When the shogunate army saw the black muzzle of the gun in the distance, they took a deep breath.
The leader is Tokugawa Hidetada's son, Tokugawa Tadanagi, the lord of the Danagon and Sunfu Domains.
He has always been at odds with Tokugawa Iemitsu.
This time Hidetada sent him to lead the 4,000 people assembled by the Western daimyo to get through Satsuma first.
The northern passage of the domain was provided for subsequent Japanese troops to pass through.
Tokugawa Tadachana was young and held a high position, so he was a little arrogant.
When he thought about it, fighting on the Japanese mainland would be a piece of cake against the Ming army.
So he directly ordered the Japanese troops to start charging.
The Japanese army charged in full force, and there was no problem of stratification or reserve teams.
Four thousand people pressed against a city wall, which temporarily put a lot of pressure on the Ming army.
Zhou Yuji knew that the Japanese were crazy, but he didn't expect them to be so crazy.
He could only urgently mobilize the Ming troops on the walls in other directions to this side.
The Japanese army charged wildly, and each time the artillery fired, they could knock down a large area.
However, there were too many Japanese troops, and the artillery only fired one round.
The Japanese army had already rushed to the city.
At this time, the firecrackers had only been fired once and were being loaded. .
The Japanese army came to the city wall.
The person in front squatted down, and the people behind stepped on his shoulders.
At this time, the person squatting stood up, and the people above could climb up the city wall.
Zhou Yuji shouted: "Use the bayonet, use the bayonet."
Regardless of whether the gunpowder was loaded or not, he started stabbing the enemy in front of him with his bayonet.
It's just that there were too many Japanese soldiers at the moment.
If one of them was stabbed, another one would have appeared and started climbing the wall, giving people a feeling of endless killing.
On the narrow city wall, the two armies began a bloody hand-to-hand battle.
At this time, the total number of troops is meaningless, because no matter how many people you have, you can't spread them out on this wall, and you will only face one.
There are two enemies, and you can only cooperate with one comrade at most to deal with them.
This has become a pure cold weapon battle.
Both sides have their own advantages.
The Ming army's advantage lies in long and sharp bayonets, and the Japanese army's advantage lies in their proficiency in martial arts.
The two sides are evenly matched
