Chapter 493: Heaven is unfair


Although the supply of Turtle Back Island was cut off, Kyushu was not able to take the opportunity to attack Turtle Back Island at this time, also because of the weather.None of the big ships of the Great Song Dynasty could survive the storm, let alone the small boats of Wajima.For the construction of Guibei Island, or the construction of the entire Great Song Dynasty, there is now a problem, that is, a lack of population.The territory of the Great Song Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, but the population of the Great Song Dynasty is currently so large that it can't digest such a large territory at all.Nowadays, it is not gold and silver treasures, let alone food and soldiers, that restrict the expansion of the Great Song Dynasty, but the people who are willing to go to new territories and occupy land for the Great Song Dynasty.Goryeo was annexed by the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, but there were very few Song people who moved into Goryeo every year, except for the sinners who were exiled, and the officials and their families sent to Goryeo.This was a problem that the Great Song Dynasty needed to face.The same is true of Turtle Back Island, and it takes many, many people to live here to completely occupy Turtle Back Island.At this moment, although Gubei Island has broken off contact with the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo, the people's hearts are still stable.Everyone understands that the storm will stop, and then it will be time for them to make a difference.Many Goryeo sergeants want to rely on military merits to make themselves stand out and give their families a future, because they enjoy no different treatment from Song sergeants, including promotions and posthumous pensions, the only difference is that when there is no merit at present, the sergeants of the Song people are generally higher than them.The sergeants of the Song people thought very simply, the victory of the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, so that they did not have the word defeat in their minds, they just wanted to finish the fight early and go back to glorify their ancestors with their merits.Hao Yunjie lives in the largest mansion in the town and lives at sea all year round, so he is prone to pain when he encounters such cold weather, but he can still bear it.Daily patrols are his unstoppable work.On the other side, the Song army of the Ryukyus lived a paradise-like life.Since that time they wiped out all the sea forces in Kyushu, they have not experienced war, and all they do every day is training, eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and there are no storms here, and all kinds of supplies are very abundant.A month later, the storm finally left, and the Song army on Gubei Island was finally resupplied, and after a week's rest from top to bottom, the whole army set out on the expedition under the order of Hao Yunjie.Three warships and 1,000 soldiers of the Song army left the port and headed for Kyushu.All they have to do is burn, kill, and loot, leaving nothing alive.Matsusaka Akiyoshi did not make a move for a long time, although the imperial court did not order the sailor's next move, but Zhu Qiming could not sit still, because Jiang Chao's fleet could not wait.That's why he asked Hao Yunjie, who had finished resting, to attack with him and plunder Kyushu.Matsusaka Masaki is an out-and-out ruthless man, even if the sailors sent by Hao Yunjie and Zhu Qiming looted dozens of towns around Kyushu, and killed nearly 10,000 Japanese people, many generals and ministers personally ran to Matsusaka's house to ask for support, but Matsusaka Masaki still calmed down and did not move.However, Hao Yunjie's looting of Kyushu still had an effect.The villages and towns on the outskirts of Kyushu Island did not dare to stay where they were, and they left their hometowns one after another to run inward, which for a time also caused panic and famine in the interior.At this time, Matsusaka Akiyoshi could not bear the pressure anymore and launched another attack on the Ryukyus.Matsusaka Akiyoshi personally led a big ship pair, and went in the other direction, preparing to attack Gubei Island, but unexpectedly, it happened to hit the sailor fleet that the Song army came out to plunder.No one expected to meet each other here, and the main warship of the Song army was badly damaged and almost sank.Matsusaka Masakiyoshi's fleet also suffered heavy losses, and his main force had already been wiped out by the Song army in the previous Battle of the Ryukyus, and now these people were all new recruits, and they had already begun to fear the tall warships of the Song army.Many people chose to run away in the first place.In this encounter, in the end, it was the Song army that won.The gap between the ships and the artillery, as well as the muskets, makes the two sides not an order of magnitude at all.The sea was littered with broken boats and the corpses of Japanese people.Those who are lucky enough not to die, with so much blood smell around, will not escape the shark's huge mouth.After the victory of the Song army's fleet, it did not return directly, but launched a direct attack on Kyushu, and only returned after emptying all the shells again.This behavior caused chaos throughout Kyushu.。。

Their fleet had already set off, and it didn't take long for the Song army to arrive, which showed that their fleet had been annihilated by the Song army nine times out of ten.The general of the Matsusaka family is even more unknown.Fortunately, Matsusaka Akiyoshi returned within a few days.Matsusaka Akiyoshi's ship was lucky not to be hit by the Song army's artillery fire, spared a large circle, avoided the Song army, and fled back.When he set out, he had a fleet of nearly 100 ships and more than 4,000 samurai, but when he returned, there were only four ships.It can be said that he was once again completely annihilated by the Song army, and after this time, there was no sea power left in the whole of Kyushu.For a time, not only the outside, but even the inside of the Matsusaka family were dissatisfied with Matsusaka Akiyoshi.If Matsusaka Shoyoshi had not thought about annexing Ryukyu, it would have been impossible to provoke the Great Song Dynasty, and the Matsusaka family, and even the entire island of Kyushu would not have become what it is now.In fact, Matsusaka Akiyoshi's idea was right, as the Great Song Kingdom set its sights on the ocean, sooner or later it would land on Wajima.There is no way to avoid this battle.The only thing that could be done was to take the Ryukyus, not to supply the Song army with a place to rest, and then drag the Song army to death by the sea.It's a pity that the Song army reacted too quickly, or rather, they had already begun to take precautions, so they supported Ryukyu as soon as possible.No matter how many excuses Matsusaka Akiyoshi has, in fact, he failed, and after his defeat, the entire Kyushu has changed very much, and he has no time to think about how to face the attack of the Great Song Dynasty in the future.Because......

There was a rebellion within the Matsusaka family.Matsusaka Shoyoshi's younger brother, Matsusaka Shojin, immediately led his 4,000 soldiers to leave the northern front with his 4,000 soldiers and secretly returned to Kyushu, after which he launched a rebellion.At this time, Gubei Island was in the hands of the Song army, and Ryukyu was also in the hands of the Song army, and the entire Kyushu could be said to be surrounded by the Song army.Matsusaka Akiyoshi did not agree with this suggestion, after he killed several surrenderers, he was almost crazy and said that the naval battle was lost, but the Matsusaka family had not yet lost, and the Matsusaka family could still pull out an army of 10,000 people as long as they tried their best, and when the time came, after the Song army logged in, the Song army would be completely annihilated, and then rob the Song army's warships, and re-attack Gubei Island and Ryukyu, not only that, but after eliminating the Great Song naval division, he would also attack the Great Song Dynasty itself, so that the Great Song knew that he was powerful.Matsusaka Akiyoshi had gone mad, which made the others determined to betray him.If you really do what this Matsusaka general thinks, they will all die.Late at night.Matsusaka Shoto led 500 samurai to break into Matsusaka Shoyoshi's house, and the hundreds of samurai who were responsible for protecting Matsusaka Shoyoshi were caught off guard and all of them were annihilated.Matsusaka Akiyoshi sat in the room, as if he hadn't heard the shouts outside, and at this moment, he looked at the chart in front of him as if he was obsessed, muttering to himself."

Impossible, the Song army can't have moved so quickly to support them because of Ryukyu's call for help, they have already made up their minds to attack Wajima, so they will come to the rescue, in other words, the purpose of the Great Song Dynasty was Wajima from the beginning......

It's too slow, we react too slowly, when the Great Song Dynasty built the water division, we should have expected this to be right......

"The reason why the Central Plains Dynasty couldn't do anything about Wadao in the past is that the sea between the two is too wide.But with Ryukyu and Kamebashima, it's different.They had ports, troops to support, and a stable rear.As Matsusaka stared at the map and gritted his teeth, the noise outside gradually stopped.The room slowly opened, and a figure slowly appeared in the doorway.Matsusaka stood behind his brother with a bloodstained knife in his hand.Matsusaka Shaoren and Matsusaka Akiyoshi are brothers, the two are three years apart, and their appearance and temperament are also very similar.He looked at Matsusaka Akiyoshi's back, and after a long pause, he said, "Big brother, it's over......

We lost......

If you promise me now, go to the Great Song Dynasty in person, submit your credentials to the Great Song Dynasty, and express your submission, you will still be the general of the Matsusaka family, but if you still ......

For the sake of the Matsusaka family, I had no choice. ”"It's late, it's too late, no, there was no choice of surrender from the beginning......

"It's useless......"

"Even if I personally go to the Great Song to express my surrender and give everything I can, they won't end this war, they won't withdraw from the Ryukyus, Gubei Island, they will annex us like they annexed Goryeo and Daetsu......"

"You can't even see this, it only proves that your vision is nothing more than that, you should believe me, lead the entire strength of our Matsusaka family to fight to the death against the Song army, and make them afraid, They will give up the idea of Wajima......"

"Only in this way can the Matsusaka family have a glimmer of life, Kyushu, no, our entire Wajima can exist......"

Matsusaka Akiyoshi said with a confused look in his eyes.He didn't look back, his eyes still on the chart.His heart was filled with anger and jealousy......

He understood why the Song people could have such a vast land, such rich resources, and they didn't have to do anything, God would make them extremely powerful, while the Wa Kingdom was useless, no matter how hard they tried, compared to the Central Plains Dynasty, they were very weak.When Matsusaka heard Matsusaka Akiyoshi's words, he sighed helplessly, and then looked firmly and strode towards his brother.
