YM778.TV Chapter 286: Soga Ezo
"Wang Shijie, let your people drive ahead now!" the man in the kimono said in an orderly tone.
A hint of anger flashed in Wang Shijie\'s eyes. After being defeated by the Yizhou fleet, he took the remaining remnant soldiers and ran to the Japanese country, because when he was young, it was with the help of Japanese pirates that he established his current power. Therefore, he still has some contacts in the country of Wa, and his wife is also from the noble Tamura family of the country of Wa. This kind of relationship makes him feel like a fish in water when he seeks help in the country of Wa, and he soon got on the line with the noble Suwo family of the country of Wa.
And after he told the details of the artillery to the Suwo family, the family decided to help him, but the two parties agreed that all the captured artillery should belong to the Suwo family, and Wang Shijie readily accepted this because he cared about whether it was buried or not. The treasures in Ryukyu, all the things he looted for decades are all on Ryukyu Island.
"Yes, I\'ll arrange it right away!" Although annoyed, Wang Shijie complied. After all, people are under the eaves now and have to bow their heads. The Japanese fleet is much stronger than him, and without the help of the Japanese country, it is even more impossible for him to land on Ryukyu Island.
Seeing Wang Shijie leave, Su Wo showed contemptuous eyes. From the beginning to the end, he never looked down on this pirate leader. If it wasn\'t for the weapon he said, he wouldn\'t cooperate with dirty pirates...
Leaving the waters of the Diaoyu Islands, the speedboat on which Li Yin was riding drove towards the port at full speed. On the way, Li Ran began to tell Li Yin the history of Japan today. "Today\'s Wa Kingdom is in the Asuka Era in Japanese history. It was a period when clan nobles were in power. After the death of Prince Shotoku, the government was controlled by Soga Mako of the Soga family. The whole country is in a chaotic era..."
"It\'s the slave era of the tribe system, right?" Li Yin said, recalling his limited historical knowledge.
"That\'s right, the Wa country in this era is in the period of tribunal system because of low productivity. The population is basically distributed in the form of villages to support the nobles, providing them with food, weapons and clothes." Li Ran explained in detail. .
nodded. Li Yin said: "In this way, our conquest plan will be much easier. We only need to select the more obedient nobles among these nobles to support and establish a puppet regime. Then destroy their culture, so that they can only follow the Great Tang in the future. Follow the lead."
"Your Highness, this is completely destroying the foundation of a nation." Li Ran said, "The most terrifying aggression is not military conquest. It is cultural assimilation. A hundred years later, when this nation has forgotten its own history and lost its own culture, then the nation will completely perish.”
The method Li Yin used was exactly what Japan implemented in the Northeast. Li Yin always believed that it was the most vicious plan of the Japanese to let the Chinese learn Japanese, tamper with history, and make children believe that they are Japanese and that the Northeast is Japan. After only a few generations, they will forget that they are from country Z. This is the same as those Chinese in the United States today. After living in country m for several generations, will they still recognize themselves as people from country Z? I\'m afraid not, but an out-and-out M countryman, so the real extinction is a cultural and ideological aggression.
"That\'s right, this is an extinct plan, once and for all!" Li Min sneered, waiting for the establishment of the puppet regime, he would burn all the books in Japan, let them learn Chinese, speak Sinicization, and falsify their history , Let them believe that they do not have their own country, but just a state of Datang.
Along the way, the two discussed this sinister plan, and soon saw the warships of Yizhou\'s fleet.
"Your Highness! Everything is ready." When Li Yin boarded the flagship of the fleet, Sun Dongxu saluted Li Yin and said, after all, Li Yin was also the highest military officer in Yizhou.
"Ready to fight!" Li Yin returned a military salute.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Sun Dongxu responded, and began to command the fleet to change formation and head towards the place where the Japanese fleet set off.
Li Yan walked to the bow of the ship and looked at the vast sea. At this time, they were still very far away from the Japanese fleet, and they could not be seen even through a telescope.
The sea breeze whistling by my ears carried a salty smell. The treasure ship sailed through the wind and waves all the way, and the seagulls hovered above the blue sky, singing bursts. If it was not a war, this was a wonderful moment.
Another half an hour passed, and the fleet\'s messengers raised flags one after another. At this time, the Japanese fleet had appeared in everyone\'s sight. The ten treasure ships quickly divided into three groups. The four ships of Li Yin and Sun Dongxu served as the central army. He and Xia Guangyi each led the way and attacked from the side.
"Thirty-six ships!" Li Yin counted the number of warships. In addition to the ten giant warships, there were also twenty-six small warships newly built by Yizhou Shipyard. These warships were only about 30 meters long. The number of artillery on board is forty-eight, and there are only twenty-four on each side, which is much less than the treasure ship, but relatively speaking, their speed is faster, and they are also very flexible in turning. With them in charge of chasing, this group of invaders It is very difficult to escape.
Within the range visible to the naked eye, the Japanese navy obviously also discovered the Yizhou fleet that suddenly appeared, and the formation suddenly became chaotic. Li Yin saw that there seemed to be a lot of chaos in the front of the Japanese fleet.
"This is impossible!" Wang Shijie looked at the sudden appearance of the Yizhou Fleet from head to toe. Their plan was to lie in ambush in the waters near Ryukyu, attack the port at night to capture the fleet\'s ships, and then attack the military fortress. It\'s all messed up.
"Wang Shijie, let your fleet get into formation!" Su Wo said angrily. As soon as the fleet on the opposite side appeared, Wang Shijie\'s navy was in chaos, because they had experienced the horror of this weapon and could no longer muster any courage. , "It\'s useless, we have five hundred ships, they are only a few dozen, and I don\'t know why father wants to cooperate with you, what a coward!"
Wang Shijie didn\'t care about these things, he just said: "Our plan is probably leaked, retreat quickly, otherwise it will be too late, that kind of weapon has a very long range, we can\'t be the opponent."
Su Wo looked at Wang Shijie coldly, "If this plan is leaked, it will be leaked by your people. Now I will give you two choices, either Hyundai will lead your people to attack, or I will throw you into it." Feed the fish in the sea, which one do you choose?"
"Su Wo Ezo, you can\'t do this to me!" Two Japanese soldiers grabbed Wang Shijie, and Wang Shijie\'s face turned pale immediately.
"Hmph, we dispatched so many ships, it is impossible to return empty-handed like this. I promised my father that I must bring back that kind of weapon." He released the iron ball weapon, but he didn\'t know exactly how powerful this weapon was. Looking at the sparse ships opposite him, he didn\'t feel scared.
Two soldiers have escorted Wang Shijie to the bow of the boat, and it can sink into the sea with a slight push. Wang Shijie despaired: "I will lead people to attack."
Suga Ezo smiled with satisfaction, and said: "These two guards will protect you with you. After you get that weapon, Ryukyu will be yours, and no one will take it away from you again."
Hearing this, Wang Shijie\'s face turned even paler. He originally wanted to get on his own boat and escape, but Suga Eizo probably thought of this too, and didn\'t give him any chance to escape. (To be continued..)
