Chapter 114 Ryukyu Ryukyu

On the top floor of the stern building of the town, in the familiar large conference room.

The headquarters commanders of the fleet heading south, captains, captains, and captains sat in a lot.

As the construction of the coast guard force becomes increasingly regular, the Coast Guard Regulations stipulate that when a ship is in all waters outside the home port, a chief officer must be kept on duty at any time.

For example, when Jin Ke left the fleet to welcome Zhao Hao, Ma Yinglong, who served as the political commissar of the fleet, had to stay at his post.

Therefore, the combat meeting can only be held in two sessions. First, it will be held for the captain, captain, and captain. After they go back, they will be held for the police committee members, police coaches and police supervisors who are working with them.

Although the meeting had not yet begun, the police officers sat upright, and the conference room was silent until the duty officer at the door shouted loudly: "The commander-in-chief is here!"

Everyone stood in unison and saluted respectfully to Commander-in-Chief Zhao who was strode in.

Jin Ke, Wang Rulong and Ma Yinglong followed Zhao Hao in.

Mr. Zhao was very satisfied and turned to Wang Rulong and smiled, "It was much better than the 'punishment battle'."

"If you haven't grown up yet, will the police academy be in vain?" Wang Rulong sneered, and the police officers couldn't help but shivered when they saw this.

God knows how many times they have been injected with spirit before they become like this.

"Slow down, everyone." Zhao Hao turned around and waved his hands to the police officers.

With a loud bang, the police officers took a break.

Then I heard Mr. Zhao say loudly: "After a long wait, we finally made a big move again!"

The police officers immediately looked excited, and they were very happy when they heard about the war.

Indeed, it has been almost two years since the battle against Japan. It has been training and training for two years. It is also a small fight when I go out by chance. Not only is it boring, but the promotion has been slow without military achievements, and there are few people with bonuses!

Finally, it was time for the young master to announce his big move, which meant promotion, medals, points, bonuses... These tempting little babies are finally not far from them!

"It seems that I can't wait." Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Then I won't waste your time, let's have a formal meeting."

After saying that, he sat down on the chair beside the window and listened quietly to them having a meeting.

Jin Ke also sat down with him to listen. As soon as Wang Rulong arrived, he delegated the command of the fleet. As the second person in the Coast Guard, he still had this attitude.

~~

Therefore, the meeting was chaired by the fleet commander Wang Rulong, and the military situation review was first given by Ma Yinglong, the head of the security area and the commander of the fleet police.

A golden star was also embroidered on Ma Yinglong's training uniform, which was on par with the commander on behalf of the police committee member.

He saluted Zhao Hao and Jin Ke first, and then began to preach:

"After nearly two years of planning, the time to implement the southward strategy formulated by Gongzi is ripe. The southward strategy is a series of grand plans that require the cooperation of the group. Among them, our coast guard forces are tasked with seizing it from the south of Seed Island, from the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan Island, Dongsha Islands, and Qiongzhou Island, within this long island chain with a total length of 5,000 miles!"

"Hiss..." The police officers couldn't help but suck. What a grand plan this was.

They were originally very proud of their more than 100 ships and more than 9,000 people... At the strong request of the officers and soldiers of the task force, ten medium-sized black-tailed ships, including the First Blood, also joined the main fleet. Therefore, the total number of ships in the fleet has reached 104.

Among them, the main ship is 200, the medium ship is 100, the light ship is 50, the speedboat is 15, and the supply ship is 30. In addition, the additional 2,000 Marines and 2,000 auxiliary policemen are carried, and the fleet is 9,550 people! At least in the East Asian waters, it can definitely be called the strongest!

But compared with the long island chain of five thousand miles, this ship and people have become a drop in the ocean again...

"Don't worry, it's not about occupying all islands, but about achieving control over the waters within the island chain." Ma Yinglong smiled faintly and said, "Or I'll say it another way, our mission is to clear the coastal waters of the Ming Dynasty and control several important nodes as cruise relays. Will you feel more relaxed?"

"Haha, this will be much easier." Haiergo and others laughed, and the police officers also laughed.

"But Ryukyu is an exception now!" Ma Yinglong changed his tone at this time and said coldly: "I believe everyone already knows that on the eighth day of May this year, the Jiangnan Group was attacked by an unknown armed gang in Naba Port, Zhongshan, Ryukyu. Our security team fought bravely and saved the warehouse. However, the ten cargo ships on the dock were tragically looted, and the sailors on the ship were killed thirty-three people, injured more than 100 people, and lost as much as 100 taels!"

The atmosphere in the conference room immediately reached freezing point. Although Ryukyu is not in the defense area of ​​the security area, this "Naba tragedy" is still regarded as a naked provocation by the arrogant police officers!

"It has been more than two months since the incident. The group and Jiangnan trade, as well as the security department, have investigated the tragedy, and can basically draw conclusions - this is an attack on our Jiangnan Group for a long time!" Then he heard Ma Yinglong continue:

"Because of the Jiangnan trade fleet, it will dock in Ryukyu once a month, unload the goods transported, and then load the goods purchased at the merchant station. It will leave Naha Port for no more than five days before returning. Based on all aspects of information, the thieves have been secretly staring at them for a long time before they can figure out our movement laws and the reality."

After a pause, he picked up the fine wooden stick and pointed to the map of Naba Port on the wall behind him and said, "Naba itself is an outlying island, connected to Shuri Castle with a long dike, which is the throat of the Ryukyu King City leading to the outer ocean. It is very dangerous."

Zhao Hao sat at the window, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar map of Naba, and inevitably felt like a change of worldly changes. Four hundred years later, the accumulation of mud and sand completely connected the northern part of the floating island with the main island where Shuri Royal City was located, and gradually turned into a peninsula. So few future generations knew that Naba was originally an outlying island, just as they didn't know that Naba was once the concession of the Ming Dynasty.

A wet sea breeze blew, which made Zhao Hao come to his senses. He couldn't help but sigh softly. Since he came to Ryukyu, he has been feeling vaguely heartache. It was clearly our first one.

Ryukyu is clearly ours...

~~

Ma Yinglong on the stage naturally could not understand the young master's loss, and continued to follow his own rhythm:

"So, there are two castles at the entrance of Naba Port - the South Fort and the North Fort to guard the estuary of the Ryukyu King Capital. Now, everyone, have you seen the problem?"

The police officers nodded one after another, and Xin Fei said, "With such a superior terrain, as long as you are on guard, the thieves have no chance to take advantage of."

"Yes." Ma Yinglong nodded and said, "Ryukyu is located on a north-south route and is often attacked by pirates and Japanese pirates, so it is very vigilant. They stationed 1,000 troops on the island and implemented a strict curfew. After nightfall, the Mutang Gate on the long dike was closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit. The north-south fortresses were also brightly lit every night, and there were troops on duty day and night to strictly prevent ships of unknown origin from entering the mouth of the Anzhichuan River."

"It is precisely because of this that the Ryukyu Kingdom had the confidence to reject our request to set up a police station and protect the commercial station." Ma Yinglong continued: "But it is puzzling that on that night more than two months ago, all the defenses of the Ryukyu people failed. They were attacked from both water and land by the thieves at the same time and attacked Naba Port at the same time. After succeeding, they retreated safely! And the late Ryukyu army did not even catch a prisoner!"

"Fuck!" A police officer cursed: "There must be an insider! And the one with a very high level!"

"We are also suspicious." Ma Yinglong raised his hand and signaled everyone not to be excited. He then said: "Jiangnan Group and Jiangnan Trading have sent senior executives to Shuricheng several times, and made four requirements - to ask them to find out the truth, make compensation, make thorough rectifications, and agree to us to set up a police station to protect our own commercial station!"

The officers nodded, thinking that this was reasonable.

"But they just kept perfunctory and shirked responsibility. They delayed our demands and had no valuable expression yet!" At this time, Wang Rulong suddenly interrupted and shouted: "This is a contempt for our Jiangnan Group and the coast guard forces! It is even more disrespectful to the young master! Do you agree?!"

"Don't agree!" The police officers screamed.

"What should I do if I don't agree?!" Wang Rulong asked again.

"Beat him up!" The police officers rolled up their sleeves, wishing they could rush to Naba Port, pull the King of Zhongshan out of the palace and beat him up. Ask who gave him the courage to toast and not eat the punishment?!

"Okay, so our first phase of combat mission is to subdue Ryukyu, obtain Naha Port, and control all local trade routes as a punishment for them!" Wang Rulong announced the combat goal with a grim smile, and then handed over the chore to Ma Yinglong and said, "You keep going."

"Then let's introduce the information of the Ryukyu Kingdom first." Ma Yinglong partnered with Wang Rulong when he was in the Qi family's army. Others could not stand this domineering guy who casually robbed the words, but he was not affected at all and could follow the other party's rhythm very smoothly.

"To let everyone understand the situation in Ryukyu more clearly, we must elaborate on the history of Ryukyu. Because it is historical reasons that have created the complex situation in Ryukyu today."

"The country of Ryukyu is a string of islands of all sizes. The place name comes from the Sui Dynasty. Zhu Kuan, the feather cavalry guard, went out to sea to inform the countries. Seeing that the string of islands was "like a dragon floating on the water", he named it "Liuqiu". At that time, this dynasty named it "Ryukyu". When Zhu Kuan visited, the natives of the place still maintained the primitive tradition of eating dead human flesh. It was not until 100 years later that small armed countries began to appear in the place with multiple chiefs..."

"After a long period of annexation and melee, by the end of the Yuan Dynasty, three larger kingdoms were formed on Ryukyu Island, the North Country, the South Country and the Zhongshan Kingdom. Because Zhongshan Kingdom was the first to pay tribute to my Emperor Taizu, it was recognized by the state dynasty as Ryukyu orthodox."

"Later, when Chengzu was about to come, a chief of Shannan Kingdom... They called the Census to overthrow Zhongshan Kingdom, requested the title of Zhongshan King from the Ming Dynasty, and were given the surname "Shang". From then on, they officially became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. With the Ming Dynasty as their backer, the Shang Dynasty destroyed Shannan Kingdom and Shanbei Kingdom and unified Ryukyu. Of course, the islands far away from the island were still not very controlled, and the rebellion and surrender were the biggest problem of Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom."
