Chapter 111 - Assault on Shouli City
Although the Shouli City was not very big, it was still the Ryukyu Kingdom's Imperial Palace, and it would take time for the soldiers to report back and forth. While they were waiting, Huashan Liyuan and Zhu Zhongjingshang turned and looked down at the flames of the Naha Harbor, their ears filled with the shouts of battle coming from the wind.
”Master Zhu Zhong, do you think that Xiao Letian is really dead?” birch elder suddenly asked. Zhu Zhongjingshang pondered for a moment and replied, ”It's hard to say. Hidden Fog Kid and the rest are very strong, coupled with the early ambush, I think they would at least have a sixty to seventy percent success rate.”
”Haha, you think too highly of those people. I'll tell you this very clearly: they failed. Not only did Xiao Letian not die, the explosion had made him even crazier. ”Look at the approaching sound of battle, this means that the Chinese are getting closer to the Shouli City …”
”Our Japanese has been studying the Chinese since the Tang Dynasty, and we have never neglected their every move on the continent. ”After the cliff, the Wuyong of the Han people began to weaken bit by bit. Even with the revival of the Ming dynasty, it will never reach the level of the manly style of the Han and Tang dynasties …”
”Later on, when the Manchu entered the stage, the Han people were forced to strip themselves of their clothes and wore ugly braids on their heads. They were completely enslaved, they were just slaves in violence. No matter if the emperor is the Mongolian or the Manchu, even if our Japanese is their emperor, as long as we grasp absolute violence, they will obediently become slaves … ”
Zhu Zhongjingshang looked at the birch elder in confusion and asked, ”I'm sorry, I was a little confused. In the process of Master coming in contact with Xiao Letian, and even when you first read the book《 Journey to the West》, your performance was not like this … To say the least, your adoration of China at that time was endless. ”
As if the birch elder had already known the confusion in Zhu Zhongjingshang's heart, he smiled slightly and said, ”The huge ancient empire across the ocean is simply too complicated. Although most of the people here are slaves, such a large empire's population is something we cannot even imagine … Even if there is only one hero out of ten thousand people, it would be a very scary thing. ”
”Only a hero, a nation, a nation, an era, can push it. It's just like the tyrant under our feet, before Xiao Letian came, did you think that these Sheep like Chinese people would be able to unleash that kind of explosive power? So, Xiao Letian is definitely still alive, because without his motivation, these sand-like Chinese will quickly transform into the servants of the past, and their selfishness and greed will once again occupy their hearts … ”
Just as Zhu Zhongjingshang was respectfully listening to the elder's wisdom, a clamor came from above the city walls. Raising his head, he saw that Shang Tai had appeared in the light of the torch.
”The people below the city are the birch elder …” Shang Tai suppressed the fear in his heart and finally said a complete sentence, but the trembling in his voice made Huashan Liyuan want to laugh.
birch elder bowed deeply towards Shang Tai and said, ”Your Majesty, please open the door of Shouli City. We are here to protect you, because unknown thugs have appeared in the Naha Harbor, and even the foreigners hiding in the ports are coming out to hide.
Shang Tai was at a loss of what to do, he grabbed onto the wall with his mouth wide open, not knowing how to speak. Great General Cai Mao, who was beside him, secretly sighed in his heart, and took over the conversation, ”birch elder, right now, the city is in chaos. Just in case, I can only say my apologies. Shouli City would never open the city gates before the sky turns bright. ”
Huashan Liyuan suddenly straightened his back as his eyes shone brightly, ”General Cai Mao, I am asking the Emperor what right do you have to answer his question. Could it be that the Emperor has been placed under house arrest by you? The friendship between the Japanese Ryukyu s for more than two hundred years, could it be that it can't be exchanged for a bit of trust? ”
”You said that in order to prevent snacks, this also includes us Japanese? The Great Japan had protected the Ryukyu Kingdom for more than two hundred years. Huashan Liyuan's voice grew louder and louder, to the point where he was unable to control his emotions.
”Your Majesty Shang Tai, please do not listen to this lowly person's slanderous words. Japan has always been the backer of King of the Glazed Ball, are you going to change the family rules of our ancestors? Your Majesty, please give the order to open the gates. We'll deal with this mess together … ”
At this time, Lin Yuanmiao, who was in pro-Chinese, also walked up the city wall. He sneered at Huashan Liyuan, ”My family's elder, it is less than two hours from dawn now. I wonder why Sir is so anxious to open the gates of Shouli City? Do you have an ulterior motive? If you want to protect His Majesty, then please stand guard outside the city gate. If there are thugs, then we can see the prowess of the Japanese soldiers. ”
”You …” Huashan Liyuan wished that he could hack these pro-Chinese to death one by one. This was truly a defeated ruler, not only did he not kill all the pro-Chinese s after 200 years. He looked at the two men on the wall and knew that with them blocking the way, it would be difficult to open the gate today.
Just as Huashan Liyuan was preparing to set up a formation outside the city gates to wait for daylight, suddenly, a soldier rushed over like a madman. He knelt in front of the old man and said softly, ”Master, General Kiyoshi Yamamoto has lost, and now his position is unknown.
”Nani!” A complete wipeout? The primary matrix that Kiyoshi Yamamoto was leading had the strongest defense, how could it collapse so quickly? ”Is he an idiot …” Huashan Liyuan was about to go crazy, he never thought that the grievous news of him being separated from Kiyoshi Yamamoto for merely an hour would come.
”General Yamamoto was brave enough to fight, a thousand kicks was enough to inflict three times the damage …” The messenger wanted to explain, but Huashan Liyuan kicked him and sent him flying, ”Eighty! ”A loss is a loss. Even if he kills thirty thousand civilians, what's the use …”
