Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 694

[Chapter 694 Pengcheng]

“You deserve death, especially you, Shang’an!” Shang Bin knelt in front of the fat Ryukyu king who was shivering in front of him.

After Dongying occupied Ryukyu, his seventh younger brother Shang’an, for the throne of Ryukyu, collaborated with a group of ministers and slaughtered tens of thousands of Ryukyu people who resisted Dongying.

In these years, in order to win the favor of the Japanese army, they even forced Ryukyu women from good families to go to the Japanese military camp and let the Japanese soldiers humiliate them.

In terms of taxes, Shang’an imposed heavy taxes on the Ryukyu people and paid them to the Japanese shogunate to win the shogunate’s approval.

All kinds of behaviors are not as good as animals.

From Shang’an to the Ryukyu officials who helped the tyrants to kill him thousands of times, it is difficult to solve the hatred in his heart.

Looking at Zhou Yi, he said: “General, kill them, these people’s hands are covered with the blood of Ryukyu people.”

“Drag them all out and behead them!” Zhou Yi shouted.

Hearing this, all the Ryukyu ministers kneeling on the ground were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, begging for mercy constantly.

There are even some Ryukyu ministers who piss and urinate.

The Ryukyu King Shang’an was so frightened that he could not speak a word since he was captured, and now he passed out directly.

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Marine Corps dragged all the Ryukyu ministers out of the palace.

After a while, cries and screams sounded one after another, and then calmed down.

At this time, Shang Bin said to the ministers behind him: “You immediately take over the Ryukyu government offices, and the Ryukyu officials in the government offices will be punished for their crimes. Those who commit the most heinous crimes will be killed without pardon, and those who should be sent to prison next, and those who can be used will be used.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The Ryukyu officials shouted in unison.

After beheading Shang An, Shang Bin is now the king of Ryukyu.

Immediately, they turned and walked out.

Zhou Yi dispatched more than a thousand soldiers to take over the government office with them.

Then, he said: “Your palace is in a mess, so you don’t want to eat here tonight, let’s talk about it after taking over the entire Ryukyu Kingdom.”

There are also South Island and North Island in the north and south of Nakajima, and they only occupied Nakajima.

Shang Bin smiled and said: “When I take over the Ryukyu, I will entertain the general and the soldiers.” He

ordered the soldiers of the Marine Corps not to disturb the people, and spent the night in the Ryukyu King City.

The next day, Zhou Yi ordered Pan Chang to take the South Island and North Island.

After two days of fighting, the remaining 8,000 Japanese soldiers were all wiped out.

at the same time.

The news of Shang Bin’s return to Ryukyu spread throughout the Ryukyu country.

Because the soldiers of the Marine Corps did not commit any crimes, the people of Ryukyu also took to the streets.

At this time, they learned that Shang’an and the heinous ministers were all executed.

Moreover, King Shangbin overturned Shang’an’s decree, and the heavy taxes disappeared, and the women who suffered in the Dongying military camp also returned home.

“The king is back, and the bitter days of Ryukyu are finally over.” The old people of Ryukyu cried bitterly.

There were tears in the eyes of the young adults, although they only learned about this Ryukyu prince through the stories of the old people.

But Shang Bin’s decree has already won their hearts.

Together with the old people, they came to the palace, knelt down and kowtowed to the palace.

Wearing a royal robe, Shang Bin waved to the people on the palace wall.

Zhou Yi stood beside Shang Bin, and he said, “You really do have the hearts of the people.”

With a smile on his face, Shang Bin held Zhou Yi’s hand and waved to the people, “It all depends on the kindness of His Highness and the bloody battles of the soldiers. From now on, Ryukyu will be my Shangbin’s Ryukyu, and it will also be the Ryukyu of His Royal Highness King Yan.”

“Hahaha…” Zhou Yi laughed.

The location of Ryukyu is very important. The South Island, Middle Island, and North Island stretch for more than 600 miles, lying between Yizhou and Dongying.

Controlling here will greatly expand the scope of the navy’s activities.

They can also expand their range of activities from Yanzhou to Yizhou waters without carrying a supply ship.

At the same time, merchant ships will also benefit from it.

After all, Ryukyu was originally a transit point for trade between Japan and Western countries.

…

Pengcheng.

While Zhou Yi took the Ryukyu, Chang Wei led the army to arrive here.

From Lucheng to here, the distance is six hundred miles.

Except for taking Yicheng in a day, almost all of their time was spent on the road.

After all, from Lucheng to Yicheng, the whole road is basically a mountain road.

But after Yicheng, there is an endless plain.

They walked for a day without seeing even a mountain.

Until Pengcheng, there were only a few sporadic hills standing on the ground.

However, these hills are basically alone, not connected into a piece.

There is a large area of farmland between the two mountains, which does not affect their march at all, nor does it provide a natural barrier for Pengcheng.

“No wonder it is said that the food of the world comes from Xie’s house. There are farmlands, lakes and rivers everywhere here.” Looking at the top of Pengcheng City, Qin Shan said with emotion.

Guan Tong: “What about Xie’s family, this place will be ours soon.”

“Isn’t it?” Lu Chang pinched.

Along the way, the speed at which the clan’s army collapsed was basically equal to their marching speed.

This Pengcheng is also within reach.

After finishing speaking, the three looked at each other and laughed.

Chang Wei ignored the three of them.

He was looking intently at Pengcheng.

Since ancient times, this Pengcheng has been a battleground for military strategists.

The reason is that to the south of Pengcheng is the Huai River.

Taking Pengcheng is tantamount to controlling Huaishui.

But to control the Huai River, the counties and counties south of the Huai River will no longer have natural dangers to rely on, and will only be swallowed by the enemy.

Their only way is to escape to Jinling and rely on the natural danger of Jiujiang to defend against the enemy.

That’s why the powerful clan hoarded heavy troops here to fight against them.

Win, defend the Huai River, and the southern counties are safe and sound.

If you lose, you can also delay the attack of Yanzhou soldiers and horses.

According to the news sent by Tanma, in the past few days after the rout, the powerful clans have recruited private soldiers from wealthy clans on a large scale.

There are about 300,000 private soldiers of the wealthy family who broke up from Qizhou, and the private soldiers of the wealthy family who came from Yuzhou, Ningzhou, and Bozhou.

Half of them gather here.

The remaining half continued to go south, and went to Huaicheng with the Shizu army.

But even so, there are about 300,000 people in Pengcheng.

The Xie family, the Wang family, the Han family and other powerful families each have 50,000 soldiers and horses, and there are also 150,000 private soldiers from the Hao family.

Although these wealthy private soldiers are like chickens and dogs in their eyes.

But with so many soldiers and horses piled up in one city, it would still cause them some trouble.

At least it will lead to more casualties for the royal army.

And I’m afraid Pengcheng won’t be captured in one day, it will take a few days.

However, they had to fight, bypassing the city and going south, it was tantamount to handing over the backs of the royal family’s army to these 300,000 soldiers and horses.

“It’s not too late for you to have fun after taking Pengcheng.” Chang Wei put away his binoculars, “Get ready to attack the city!”

In response, the three of Qin Shan returned to their respective troops.

Immediately, they sent soldiers to dig trenches in the direction of the city wall.

Although this new method of combat is monotonous and boring, it is very effective every time.

Victories are often won with the least casualties.

This battle will only take more time, and the need for trenches to protect the safety of the soldiers is even greater.
