117 The battle has been decided

Everyone in Shuri Castle was already in deep dreams and could not extricate themselves. From the moment the Japanese artillery began to shoot, King Shangtai and all ordinary people deeply felt the cruelty of modern warfare.

Heavy bullets hit the city wall, and the entire imperial city began to shake. The dust on the beams that had not moved for hundreds of years fell down. The timid palace maids crawled into the corner and screamed wildly.

"Is this the modern war? Is this the power of the times that Mr. Xiao has always emphasized? Who can resist this power of destruction?" At that moment, King Shangtai actually sublimated in fear. The heavy shell wrapped in the education of the medieval era for twenty years was shaken out of cracks in the rumbling sound of cannons.

"I want this power, our Ryukyu Kingdom needs this power... Master, please tell me how I get this power!" King Shangtai stood under the city wall, following Xiao Letian's figure and ran and screamed wildly, following a large group of serving people.

With the rumbling cannons, Xiao Letian didn't hear anything King Shangtai was shouting. Until King Shangtai's voice was hoarse, the guards beside Xiao Letian discovered the running King Shangtai.

"Military advisor, look at what King Shangtai is calling? He has been chasing you for a long time..." When Xiao Letian turned back and looked down at the young king, suddenly less than twenty meters in front of Xiao Letian, a heavy Japanese projectile smashed into the city wall, and a big collapse rolled down. The city wall, which was more than three meters high, collapsed, revealing the rammed earth inside.

King Shangtai was protected by a group of imperial guards in the center, but King Shangtai was already crazy at this time. The young king had been stimulated enough in the blood and fire that night. Now he has ignored all dangers.

"Prime Minister! Master... Is this the power of industry that you mentioned in your book? I want this power, our Ryukyu Kingdom needs this power... Please, we really don't want to be bullied anymore... Please teach me..." After saying that, King Shangtai, who was filled with tears, knelt on the ground.

"I would like to regard the Prime Minister as Yafu and ask the Prime Minister to give the Ryukyu Kingdom this kind of power..." After saying that, King Shangtai cried bitterly.

It is said that Xiao Letian should take a few steps back and avoid King Shangtai's kneeling, which is really unethical. It is updated as soon as possible, but today Xiao Letian seems to have to play all his domineering scenes, and he wants to completely impress all the objections in the Ryukyu court.

OK, after all, young people in their twenties are still active in their minds and are easy to accept new things. A bombardment of artillery can make them feel the power of industry. But silly boy, you haven't seen what real power is yet. In a few years, when the armored warships start cruising on the ocean, when the 12-inch caliber cannon roars in front of you, your small Shuri Castle may not even be able to withstand a single shot.

Knowing that you are afraid? A good thing! Only when a person knows what fear is can he change. Only when he correctly realizes that your kingdom has been abandoned by the times can you have the motivation to change.

Thinking of this, Xiao Letian shouted, "Do you think this is the power of industry described in my book? It's a big mistake. The real power is ten times or even a hundred times more than this shelling... Your Majesty, please climb the city wall and don't be afraid of danger. You'd better see this great change in the Ryukyu Kingdom with your own eyes!"

King Shangtai rushed up the city wall despite the obstruction of his subordinates. When he held the wall and looked into the sea, American merchant ships had already begun to participate in the war.

"Master! That's the American flag? Why do they participate in the war? And why are their artillery firing fast and accurate? Oh my God, a shutdown ship was sunk..."

Xiao Letian is almost like to bring himself a feather fan now. "Your Majesty, everything actually has a precursor. The Americans' participation in the war is not a temporary impulse. There are still many considerations behind it..." Just as Xiao Letian explained the little abacus in the hearts of the Americans to King Shangtai, the last two Japanese ships on the sea finally hung white flags and chose to surrender. Please come for more and faster chapters.

Xiao Letian was excited and smashed the wall hard, "Good, this is called crushing, this is called cross-age abuse, it is too refreshing. General Cai Mao quickly sent a flag slogan to the Americans, saying that American citizen Xiao Letian asked the artillery to extend the attack and bomb the Japanese thugs on the hillside..."

Xiao Letian paused and suddenly added, "Tell the Americans, that is, the Ryukyu Kingdom asked for the intervention of the American affairs. This operation was not an unauthorized intervention by the Americans, but a request for assistance from Ryukyu Kingdom... Damn, I have to give them some steps, otherwise businessmen from other countries would have to return to China to file a lawsuit..."

King Shangtai heard it for a long time but didn't know the purpose of Xiao Letian's words, but he only found that after the flag words were sent, the firing frequency of the American warship suddenly increased, and there was no hesitation that the muzzle opened fire at the original formation of Huashan Liyuan.

King Shangtai watched helplessly as white lines were drawn in the sky, and his ears were full of rumbling sounds. Then the Japanese army's defensive positions on the east hillside suddenly bloomed, smoke and fire rose into the sky, and gravel fell down like rain.

The brains of Kurigen Kawayama and Kiyoshi Yamamoto had lost their ability to think. Since the US merchant ships intervened in military affairs, they had nothing but despair. They knelt on the stone and began to ask the little surname beside them to help unload their armor. The two of them were ready to have their caesarean sections.

"San Yamamoto, we have messed up everything. Now there is no other way to relieve the lord's guilt with life and blood!"

"Mr. Huashan, thank you for your kindness of support. It is my stupidity first. If I always obey your command, I think the situation will not collapse to this point. It will really cause you trouble..." After that, Yamamoto Kiyoko kowtowed to Kurito Kawashan.

The two watched the Guan fleet collapse completely, and then watched the cannons explode into the military formation beside them. The two shook their heads helplessly and reached out to grab the ribs.

Just as the two wanted to have a caesarean section, a voice from Takenaka Inoue suddenly came from behind the formation, "Baga, you are too stupid. Now you die to be injustice. You two cannot die, you must survive... All the warriors listen to my orders and disperse the people to let the people go home and stop fighting. We must admit defeat..."

Takenaka Inoue rushed up and raised his hand to steal the two of them. "Baga, as a samurai, it is valuable to die even if he dies. Although we lost this battle, the subsequent diplomatic negotiations are still useful... You two must die in front of Xiao Letian, so that he will not let him vent his anger completely, our Shimazu family will perish..."

Kurigen Kawayama and Kiyoshi Yamamoto have never seen Takenaka Jun so angry in so many years. He is a civil servant and has always been polite. More and faster chapters are invited. The first update is updated, but when they think of Takenaka Inoue's words, the two of them suddenly realized.

Yes, death is inevitable, but there are some things to pay attention to where death is. A caesarean section is considered to be a death on the battlefield at most, but if you are at the negotiating table and apologize in front of Xiao Letian, you can add points to your lord's negotiation.

The two kowtowed to Takenaka Inoue and saluted, "Hay... Takenaka, please help me."

Takenaka Inoue didn't have time to deal with them at this time. He turned his head and rushed into the military formation to start commanding the chaos. "Raising the white flag, let us truce, and immediately... Idiot, please let the people leave quickly, are you waiting for the Chinese to kill? Everyone disperses to reduce casualties..." As he was roaring, suddenly a shell exploded not far away from him, and the air waves immediately knocked him to the ground. Please come more and faster chapters.

"Takenaga..." Rimeen Kawayama and Kiyoshi Yamamoto rushed over like crazy, holding Takenaga Inoue in his arms, and then he felt relieved after watching carefully. Takenaga Inoue was still angry.

"Takenaga, please don't leave us. Negotiation requires your wisdom!" Huashan Riyuan cried bitterly. After a long time of tossing, Takenaga Inoue opened his eyes and said in a weak voice.

"Don't panic... Before the conflict, I had already sent a letter to Ryuma Jun from Kagoshima... I believe Ryuma Jun will definitely come at the first time..."

"Ryuma Jun? Are you talking about Ryuma Sakamoto who accompanied Lord Sheng Haiqing to negotiate with the Four Kingdoms? It is Ryuma Sakamoto who promoted the Southwest Four Vocational Alliance!" Yamamoto Kiyoshi and Kurito Kawayama were so shocked that they almost jumped up.

Takenaka Inoue nodded, "It's one of the leaders of the reformist faction, Ryuma Sakamoto..." Hearing this, Kurigen Kawayama and Kiyoshi Yamamoto bowed to Inoue solemnly, "Thank you Takenaka for your plan. If Lord Ryuma comes to save the crisis, I believe everything will turn around. Thank you, thank you..."

Takenaka Inoue was right. Now, just north of Naha, about an hour from the sea route, a Shimazu family was marching towards Naha. A heroic young man stood on the bow of the ship, looking only twenty-seven or eight years old, and he was a heroic age. He was a very legendary figure in the history of the Japanese Reformationists, Ryuma Sakamoto.

He now knew very well about the tension in Naha Port. Although he didn't know what would happen to Naha overnight, he knew very well that the situation was so serious that it was uncontrollable. Otherwise, his friend Takenaka Inoue would never have skipped the Lord and asked for help from him directly.

"Don't make a big deal about things, you must restrain yourself. As long as there is no blood, everything will be easy to negotiate..." Sakamoto Ryuma stood at the bow of the boat all night, his eyes were covered with red blood. Behind him, several low-level samurai looked at his back nervously.

"Master Ryuma, please take a break. There is less than an hour to see Naha Port... Nani?Master Ryuma, look, a black cloud is floating in the south, as if it is black smoke of conflict..." Before the warrior finished speaking, he found a large piece of black smoke that was not like dark clouds in front of the bow of the ship.

The experienced veterans and old sailors could see at a glance "It's the flame! It's the rolling smoke and dust after the fire... The Buddha blessed me, you can see it at such a distance. What a big fire scene? Could it be that the whole of Naha was burned out..."
