Chapter 677： Regain Ryukyu

To attack Ryukyu, you don't need to care about the feelings of Satsuma clan.

After all, this place was originally not owned by Satsuma.

If Shimazu Mitsuhisa dared to have an opinion, Dahua could send him back with a word.

Dahua didn't dispatch many people and ships. There were only three battleships and five troop carriers.

However, these three are Dahua's latest semi-iron armored ships, all important positions on the ship are covered with a layer of iron.

This layer of iron is not thick and cannot completely defend against enemy shells, but it can increase defense.

In the past, without this layer of iron, the enemy could destroy the hull with a single shot.

But with this layer of iron, the first shell can barely break the conversation. If you want to completely destroy it and cause the hull to flood, at least two shells need to hit the same approximate position.

This has actually greatly improved the defense of the warship. It is not easy for the enemy's shells to hit one shot, let alone two shots falling in approximate positions, which requires luck.

The factor of flickering luck, it can be said that their current warship no longer needs to worry about being sunk.

Using this kind of warship to play Ryukyu is really bullying.

After all, the Fuso people who rule Ryukyu now don't have many artillery pieces.

Playing Ryukyu means actually letting these three warships go to actual combat to test their performance.

With the addition of other small boats, the entire fleet has a total of 16 ships, with a total strength of about 3,000.

The Fuso people stationed in Ryukyu have a total strength of only 1,000. There is no professional fleet, only some merchant ships.

The dispatch of 3,000 people to fight is a major event for other countries and places.

But for Dahua, it's not worth mentioning.

When the fleet arrived in Ryukyu, the Fuso people in Ryukyu also noticed in advance, and quickly sent a small boat to negotiate.

If you win, you will fight, and if you can’t, you will be reasonable. This is a world-wide practice.

Fusang representatives boarded Dahua’s ship and said that this was Fusang’s territory.

"Fuso's territory? The king of Ryukyu Kingdom didn't tell us that."

Captain Lu Jianshang said with a smile.

"The King of Ryukyu, there is no King of Ryukyu now. This place has been managed by our Fusang for decades, and it has long been the territory of our Fusang."

Fusang messenger said angrily.

"Hahaha, your theory is right. So, after we drive you away and manage this place for decades, then it will be an inseparable part of my Dahua."

Lu Jianshang responded with the other party's theory, leaving the other party speechless, because they really didn't have much qualifications to reason.

I can't tell Dahua that we can grab the Fusang, but you Dahua can't.

If he dared to say this, he would be thrown into the sea to feed the fish immediately.

After thinking about it a little, the Fuso messenger could only change direction and said: "I, Satsuma and Dahua have signed a treaty of friendship. You are treachery."

"The question is, can you represent Satsuma? Okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, and give you an answer within one hour, whether to take the initiative to evacuate or let us drive you away, you choose."

Lu Jianshang issued an ultimatum.

He is not worried about the Satsuma clan, because although Ryukyu is now under the Satsuma clan's jurisdiction, it is not entirely a Satsuma clan.

The relationship between them is like the emperor Zhou and the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period.

The Ryukyu daimyo nominally respects Satsuma as the master, and offers some filial piety from time to time.

But in fact, Satsuma clan was unable to control Ryukyu's affairs and had no obligation to protect Ryukyu.

If evenly matched people invade Ryukyu, Satsuma clan will stand up for the younger brother in order to maintain the prestige of the elder brother.

But if the person who bullies the younger brother is too strong, the eldest brother will usually immediately clear the relationship with the younger brother, so as not to cause trouble.

The relationship between Tanegashima's daimyo and Shimadzu Mitsuhisa is much better than that of Ryukyu's daimyo, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa has not been seen as a substitute for Zijima.

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't have this strength.

The messenger returned to the island angrily and reported the results of the negotiations to Daming. The angry Qiu Dao clan cursed in various ways.

To deceive people too much is simply to deceive people too much.

At this moment, Qiu Daoshi's mood is similar to that of the former Ryukyu king.

It's all angry, frustrated and helpless.

However, Qiu Daoshi did not intend to give in.

Although he was also afraid of failure and knew that he would definitely fail in a real fight, the most sensible choice was to take the initiative to leave.

However, he was not reconciled.

Ryukyu is everything to him, he is still a big name with Ryukyu, if he loses this place, then he is nothing.

Their family has been operating on this island for decades, and decades of hard work have accumulated, even if they fight for their lives, they have to protect them.

Therefore, Qiu Daoshi began to arrange defense, promised heavily, and mobilized his subordinates.

After an hour passed, Lu Jianshang saw that the opponent hadn't expressed his position, so he didn't talk nonsense and ordered an offensive.

All the Fusang people went ashore, with no plans to fight a naval battle with Dahua.

Therefore, Lu Jianshang did not go to shell the ships in the harbor, which were all spoils for a while.

Those ships are **** to the military, but they are still valuable when sold to civilian merchants.

The primary target of the Chinese army’s attack was the port’s coastal defense artillery. Only by removing these nails could the troop carrier dock and land safely.

Otherwise, the artillery is allowed to attack the troop carrier, and it is easy to suffer heavy losses.

The sound of gunfire from both sides made the Fusang people feel a little embarrassed.

Among their more than 50 shore defense guns, only more than 20 can hit the Chinese army. The others are too small in caliber and the gun barrel is too short to have a short range.

This is all because their turrets were built high up, which increased their range.

If there is no high bonus, none of their artillery can hit the navy of Dahua.

These artillery is actually enough to deal with other pirates or warships of other countries.

However, the artillery on these three semi-iron armored ships is also an upgraded new artillery, and all aspects of performance have been improved, especially the range.

The range of artillery fire is very important. It has a range advantage. You can fly your opponent’s kite on the sea, as well as many other benefits.

The sound of gunfire from both sides sounded, and the contrast was not obvious at first.

But soon, Dahua’s artillery hit rate began to rise sharply, killing Fusang’s artillery.

Like the Portuguese in Western Europe, their fortresses were not built to protect the artillery, and the artillery suffered heavy casualties.

In contrast, most of Fusang’s shells fell on the sea, splashing high water jets.

The few that were able to hit the vicinity of the Chinese warships were also due to luck, and very few hits.

Occasionally hit one or two, at most only a few soldiers of the Chinese army can be killed. Apart from this, there are no other significant effects.

It is undoubtedly an idiotic dream to use this to fire and shell Shen Dahua's latest battleship.
