The entire fleet stayed in the Ryukyu Kingdom for five days and took a good rest.
The dead Korean soldiers were reanimated, and the injured soldiers entered Shuri Castle to recuperate.
King Shangning sent his ministers to take care of things diligently, providing melons, fruits, rice and food to the Polu army, and also gave 30,000 taels of silver.
This was King Shangning's little wealth.
King Shangning only had one request, what?
Can we station troops here and not leave?
He was really scared.
Many of his guards had been bribed by the Japanese.
Every move he made was under the surveillance of the Japanese.
No wonder he was frightened.
Without the protection of Akito's powerful army, he was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
It was a fool's errand to expect the Ryukyu army to protect him.
Landlord Wei's answer was that he must ask Lord Zhao Lie for instructions.
Only Lord Zhao could make a decision.
He also said that Lord Zhao hated Japanese pirates deeply.
If King Shangning wrote to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Zhao would definitely send troops to protect Ryukyu.
King Shangning immediately returned to the palace and personally wrote a letter of credence to Ryukyu, imploring the Emperor of Heaven to send troops to protect Ryukyu from Japanese pirates, and handed it to Landlord Wei for delivery.
Everything Landlord Wei did was what the Military Intelligence Department asked him to do.
Once he got this letter of credence, it immediately became an excuse for the Polu army to station in Ryukyu in the future, and also became an introduction to the annexation of Ryukyu in the future.
Hundreds of years later, whenever some so-called Ryukyu people attacked the Central Plains and annexed the Ryukyus, this letter of credence would be displayed in a circle.
This was the request of the Ryukyu King, and the Central Plains would not accept it.
Of course, these problems did not exist at this time.
When King Shoning and the people of Ryukyu welcomed the Ming army, it was the honeymoon period for both parties.
Five days later, the fleet drove directly to the Satsuma Domain in Southern Kyushu.
The current lord of the Satsuma Domain is Shimazu Mitsuhisa.
His father, the previous lord of the feudal clan, Shimazu Tsunetada, just died in Edo when he was paying a visit to General Masi.
As the second son, he took over the Satsuma Domain, a powerful southern feudal clan with a height of 770,000 stone.
At this time, he was preparing to take back his father's coffin so that he could be buried in the Kagoshima family cemetery.
Of course, the sealing of the sea by the Ming army at this time made all this extremely difficult, but the Satsuma domain and the Tokugawa shogunate were not in harmony, and they had even fought bloody battles.
I think the Ming army, which hated the Tokugawa shogunate, would not make it difficult for him.
Just when he was about to send out a sea ship to find Ming warships for negotiation, the Shimazu family's navy sent someone to report that dozens of Ming warships had entered Kagoshima Bay and were now heading towards Kaoji in the west of Kagoshima Bay.
As we headed towards the island city, we saw that we were heading towards Kagoshima Castle, the town of Satsuma Domain.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa was shocked when he heard the news.
He had not turned against Akito.
Absolutely not.
Why did the huge naval force under Zhao Lie come to Kagoshima Castle with such force?
At nearly noon on the second day, more than 40 large and small warships of the Poro Army arrived on the sea a few miles east of Kagoshima City.
The scene of so many powerful warships piled up on this small sea surface was extremely frightening.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who was standing on the town to observe the movements of the Ming army, had a solemn expression.
All the retainers were also silently watching the cloud-like sails on the sea.
The ferocious black gun windows on the side of the huge gray-black hull made people feel helpless.
A feeling of resistance.
Shimazu immediately sent his retainer Shinna Tadayoshi to visit the commander of Akito's fleet.
He wanted to find out what Akito's intention was.
As for the battle with Akito's fleet, as long as Akito doesn't want to capture Kagoshima Castle and take the life of himself, the lord of the Satsuma Domain, then avoid conflict.

Just kidding, the Japanese general Iemitsu fought with Zhao Lie's water infantry. , the result was a disgrace, and then some daimyo began to rebel.
Even Shimazu Mitsuhisa had a disobedient heart.
The reason why the Tokugawa family was in such a mess was because they had provoked the evil god Akito Zhao Lie.
In ten years, the fleet was wiped out, the town of Edo was besieged, and the standing loss was more than 20,000.
What a loss.
This is the general, and the Shimazu family is in even worse shape.
They must not conflict with the Ming army.
Landlord Wei and Gao Shuicheng met Xina Zhongqing on the Heiji Chang.
"Because the Satsuma clan brazenly invaded Ryukyu, a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, which was regarded as a great disrespect to the Ming Dynasty, Lord Zhao Lie ordered the army to recover Ryukyu and help the Ryukyu people recover.
The fleet came to Satsuma clan to warn the Satsuma clan governor.
From then on, it was like this Attack Ryukyu again, and the army will soon capture Kagoshima Castle to punish Futomi."
After a brief exchange of greetings, landlord Wei enumerated the Satsuma clan's crimes and warned the Satsuma clan.
Shinna Tadakiyoshi was shocked, "I wonder how the Satsuma Domain's standing supplies are doing."
"Except for the hundreds of Zuqing who were captured, everyone else has been wiped out."
Landlady Wei said proudly, and he certainly had the right to be proud.
Xinna Zhongqing didn't have any thoughts on this, so he hurriedly said goodbye and went back to report to the feudal lord.
"You will inform the Lord of the Satsuma Domain when you return and immediately stop the attack on Shimabara.
Otherwise, our army will land here and repeat the scene in Edo."
Landlord Wei threatened before leaving.
Shimazu Mitsuki was speechless for a long time after hearing Shinna Tadakiyoshi's report.
He knew that Ryukyu was lost.
Today, Ryukyu is the Satsuma clan's purse.
Losing Ryukyu was quite heartbreaking for Satsuma.
But what can he do, fall out with Akito?
Then just wait for Akito to slap him in the face.
Tokugawa Iemitsu's face is now swollen.
In addition, Akito threatened him to withdraw the army that attacked Shimabara, which was also a crude interference against the Satsuma Domain and made him lose face.
However, due to his lack of strength, head-on confrontation was not advisable.
In the history of the Satsuma Domain, it was difficult for him to confront the powerful Toyotomi clan.
The result was a tragic defeat, the family governor was forced to apologize to the shogunate and become a monk, and the Satsuma clan almost fell.
From then on, successive feudal lords of the Satsuma Domain had always warned them not to confront someone head-on when encountering problems, and it is no different now.
"Send someone familiar with Shimazu Hisanobu to withdraw troops from Shimabara immediately."
Shimazu Mitsuhisa said sadly, he still has Ryukyu in his heart.
He is still young.
He hopes that the Ming Dynasty will become chaotic like before and will have no time to look around.
Then the Shimazu family, which is very close to Ryukyu, will have an opportunity.
But he didn't expect that he would have to wait for hundreds of years, and he didn't wait until the Satsuma clan was destroyed.
Zhao Lie's days are getting busier and busier now.
He visits shipyards, ironworks, and military camps one after another, urging the shipyards to repair merchant ships, and visiting the ironworks to transport the arrears of wrought iron output to Jeju as soon as possible.
There is still a need for two thousand muskets.
Make up.
Zhao Lie increasingly felt that it would be a waste to continue to set up the Jianghu Camp in Jeju.
The Jianghu Camp in Jeju could be retained to supply Jeju and Beihua, but the Jianghu Camp must be rebuilt on Shidao.
In the future, fierce fighting in the Central Plains will be in full swing, and soldiers and armor will be needed.
It must be a big increase.

As for the issue of surveillance by the court that had been considered in advance, it is now irrelevant.
The Denglai army has become a faction of its own, and the court has no choice but to do anything.
Of course, all this will be discussed after this battle.
If everything goes well, Jiannu believes that the imperial court and the Denglai army have completely fallen out, and Zhao Lie believes that the Qing army will soon enter the pass.
A tiger would eventually lose its patience looking at the helpless cattle and sheep so close to him.
Zhao Lie had not entered the border in the past three years.
Zhao Lie already believed that Huang Taiji had strong control, but the gangster system of Jiannu determined that Huang Taiji would not be able to stop him for long. .
On this day, Zhao Lie and his escort came to the military camp to watch the training of Jinghai Camp.
Now, after a year of hard training, Jinghai Camp can now charge the cavalry in a tight formation.
Zhao Lie praised Liu Fugui.
After all, this military barracks was established relatively late.
Except for some generals who were transferred from the old war barracks, the others were children of local military households.
Liu Fugui was able to achieve the current results.
The others must have tried their best.
On the way back to Zhao's house, Du Li was already waiting at the roadside.
Seeing Du Li's solemn expression, Zhao Lie's heart moved.
"Liaodong?"
Zhao Lie asked before Du Li could speak.
"Heron came to report that the Jiannu army of more than 70,000 people has set off, and its target is the capital."
Du Li reported in a low voice after approaching.
During this period of time, Zhao Lie has been busy in the military and political affairs just for this day.
After hearing the exact news, Zhao Lie felt relieved at this time.
He had been back to Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and finally waited for this day, which could be regarded as relief.
After this battle, Zhao Lie's fate will be decided, and the fate of Ming Kingdom and Jiannu will also come to an end.
Zhao Lie silently returned to the official office.
He successively issued a mass confinement order to Shidao and the Jeju Marine Infantry.
From this moment on, all soldiers were not allowed to take a vacation or leave the military camp for even half a step, and could be ordered to go out at any time.
Zhao Lie's military order made the entire Shidao feel strange.
No soldiers were seen entering the market for several days, which was completely unimaginable in the past.
As a military town, the people and merchants all knew that the Polu Army might start another war.
At this time, Zhou Yuan was actively preparing manpower to find out the situation of the Polu Army.
As the war was approaching, if he could not find out the specific situation of the Polu Army, he might face severe punishment later.
Now his boss is Jierharang.
Prince Zheng, a prince would not be as humane as Li Yongfang.
Prince Zheng regarded these expatriates as having a standard, useful and useless.
If they were classified as useless, Zhou Yuan could imagine how miserable his outcome would be.
The Jin Yiwei also felt that something was wrong.
They would never think about Jian Nu.
What they thought about was whether Zhao Lie had already fully known the court's strategy to deal with the Zhao family, and the Zhao family was therefore on guard.
The two parties were busy, constantly inquiring about the military situation of the Polu army, and there was a constant undercurrent on Shidao.
That night, the closed Zhou Ji Gold Shop was lit up with a bright light inside.
The dim light only illuminated a corner of the room.
The rest of the place was gray.
The gold shop looked extremely gloomy.
Zhou Yuan and Ergui Master followed.

He was muttering under his breath.
"Sir, the news from Huzi is that Zhao Lie's troops know that the Ming Dynasty will return to attack Denglai after wiping out the rebellion in the Central Plains.
This is because the Ming army is making good progress in Shaanxi and Henan and has defeated the rebellions one after another.
Therefore, The Ming court estimates that the rebellion can be wiped out in three months.
Ergui said in a low voice, "Zhao Liebu predicts that the imperial court will mobilize no less than 200,000 troops to attack Denglai in half a year.
Among them are the border troops from Shanxi, Xuanda, and Liao Town, as well as the Central Plains rebel forces, and the Beijing camp may also send troops. , so Zhao Lie decided to immediately summon troops for training. " "Is this news reliable?"
Zhou Yuan squinted his eyes, as if the darkness of the oil lamp was still too bright, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, sir.
Deputy Qianzong Yu was drunk again today.
He accidentally told the people around him and cursed the court in the private room.
What Luo Huzhu heard outside the door can't be wrong."
Ergui lowered his head and said.
"Well, Vice President Yu's words are quite accurate."
Well, no, Zhou Yuan was horrified for a moment, and he stood up in excitement.
"The whole army is under martial law.
How did he get out?"
Zhou Yuan's voice trembled a little.
He thought about the worst possibility.
Could it be that Shidao's notorious Military Intelligence Department and Internal Security Department had discovered them, and the news was deliberately leaked here to catch the big fish.
Ergui was startled.
He looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise, "Sir, you have forgotten.
Vice President Yu has been in charge of purchasing for almost a year.
The barracks are under martial law, but so many soldiers must have something to eat."
Bar."
Zhou Yuan slapped his head, hey, I forgot, Vice President Yu had been shopping for a long time, and he just got distracted by his own thoughts.
Zhou Yuan sat down, he was covered in cold sweat at this moment, he was really disappointed, he couldn't live such a life of meticulous work.
"Send the news as soon as possible, so that we can be worthy of Master Jurchen."
Zhou Yuan said sarcastically that he felt helpless and sad.
He wanted to get rid of it, but he still couldn't let go of his children at home.
It was really a dilemma.
Ergui agreed.
He was the one who was saved by Zhou Yuan.
He would do whatever Zhou Yuan asked him to do.
It was always right to act with loyalty.
As for Han people or Jurchens, he never thought much about it.
That was something that the master should consider, right?
?.
After the meal, Ergui walked towards the forest in fear again.
He didn't find anyone following him.
When he arrived at the agreed tree in the forest, he placed the wax pills.
Ergui made a big circle and returned to Zhou Ji.
What Ergui didn't know was that the people watching in the dense forest had already seen his every move.
Zhou Yuan waited uneasily for the return of the second noble.
When the second noble finally returned to Zhou Ji, Zhou Yuan got up and burned a stick of incense.
He was really grateful to the gods for protecting him and allowing him to escape another disaster.
