Chapter 490: Milestone Change, Ryukyu Japanese Pirates Suffer
"General Cao."

In Liaodong, Zhenjiang Fort, in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Wan'er said to Cao Bianjiao who had just arrived from Phoenix City, "I have asked the commander-in-chief for your permission to come to the front line in person this time."

"Our Renaissance Army's current round of southward raids has concluded successfully, with significant results achieved."

"However, because the Southern Ming Dynasty voluntarily gave up the Jiangbei area, although we gained a vast territory of hundreds of thousands of miles and a population of tens of billions, we had to stop at the Yangtze River because we were too full."

Wan'er received a letter from Li Dingguo last night and learned the latest battle results.

While she was overjoyed, she also felt a little regretful and helpless.

Unfortunately, she did not participate in this massive military operation.

Unfortunately, due to the rapid speed of the new round of expansion of the Fuxing Army, the new occupied areas needed to stabilize order and clean up a large number of officials, gentry, and aristocratic families, forcing the Fuxing Army to once again stop its expansion.

She received a letter from her elder brother Li Dingguo last night, and one of the orders in the letter made her very happy.

Li Dingguo wrote to say that after the end of this round of war to the south, the Fuxing Army will take the initiative to stop military operations on the mainland in the next two to three years, and focus on stabilizing internal affairs and developing people's livelihood.

But this does not include reviving the navy.

The latest intelligence from the Military Intelligence Department says that the Navy's Fourth Fleet, which is responsible for the offensive missions against the Ryukyu Islands and Dongfan Islands, is about to arrive at the target waters.

To be on the safe side, Li Dingguo wrote a letter asking Wan'er to ride a golden eagle and rush over as soon as possible to meet up with the soldiers of the Fourth Fleet.

The Satsuma Shimazu family, which currently occupies the Ryukyu Kingdom, is a powerful force that should not be underestimated.

Although the intelligence mentioned that they did not have a level six expert stationed in the Ryukyu Islands, they had no shortage of level five experts.

In addition, the Japanese pirates were as brave and daring as mad dogs. If the soldiers of the Fourth Fleet were not careful for a moment, it was likely that considerable casualties would occur.

If that situation occurs, it is definitely something Li Dingguo does not want to see.

Li Dingguo's letter specifically stated that any Japanese pirates or civilians encountered by the Fuxing Army soldiers must be killed without mercy, and not even a single prisoner would be allowed.

If you want to secure victory in this sea expedition, suppressing the enemy's top warriors in battle becomes the top priority.

Under the current circumstances, it is undoubtedly most appropriate to transfer Wan'er, the naval commander-in-chief, to the south to join the soldiers of the Fourth Fleet.

"General Cao, my elder brother asked me to go south as soon as possible to lead the Fourth Fleet to fight against the Japanese pirates and the white people. Zhenjiang Fort, the most important town on the front line against the Later Jin Tartars, will be handed over to you to take charge."

Wan'er explained the reason directly to Cao Bianjiao, and then reminded him, "Although Huang Taiji is now in a hurry to suppress the rebels within the Goguryeo Dynasty and is unable to spare time, under normal circumstances, he cannot spare time to counterattack Liaodong."

"But Huang Taiji is a great hero, and we cannot look at him from a conventional perspective. It is not impossible that he might suddenly lead his army westward and attack across the Yalu River on a whim."

"You, General You Shilu and General You Shiwei must always remain highly vigilant and not allow the other side to take advantage of any loopholes."

"Oh, I have another good news for you..."

Wan'er said to Cao Bianjiao excitedly, "The commander-in-chief's formation skills have greatly improved recently, and the teleportation formation experiment he painstakingly researched was successful!"

"In three months at most, the development of the teleportation array will be fully mature and will be gradually built in some important towns within our jurisdiction."

"Given the importance of Liaodong, it is estimated that it will be given a few quotas for the construction of teleportation arrays. Zhenjiang Fort, a major fortress located at the forefront, will be among them without any surprises!"

"At that time, the mobilization of our Renaissance Army's soldiers and military supplies will become very fast, eliminating the current biggest shortcomings and problems!"

This is absolutely great news.

Even Wan'er could not have imagined that her elder brother Li Dingguo, who had inherited the innate divine artifact, the Human Emperor Cauldron, would suddenly announce such good news!
"what?"

"The commander-in-chief has even developed and restored the teleportation array from the ancient Qin Dynasty?"

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, his eyes widened, and he was obviously very frightened.

These core high-ranking generals of the Renaissance Army have read many ancient books seized by the Renaissance Army in the past two or three years, and have a deep understanding of the various extraordinary aspects of the rumored Immortal Qin Dynasty.

According to ancient records, the most distinctive strategic weapon during the Xian Qin Dynasty was the teleportation array connecting the nine provinces of China.

However, since the main material for building the teleportation array: Kongming Stone, is extremely rare, there are not many teleportation arrays in the entire Xian Qin Dynasty, with a total of only nine.

But even with only nine teleportation arrays, Qin Shihuang's absolute rule over the dynasty was completely consolidated.

Unfortunately, after the collapse and destruction of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the nine magical teleportation arrays were also destroyed for various reasons and became legends.

"Of course!"

When talking about Li Dingguo, Wan'er's face was full of pride, "Who is my elder brother? Nothing can stop him!"

"Under the leadership of Chang Liyun, the Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel conducted a comprehensive exploration of the Lishan secret realm discovered around Chang'an City, and unexpectedly discovered a mine of Kongming Stone."

"According to Chang Liyun, this Void Stone vein may have been formed not long ago in the secret realm of Mount Li. Although the reason is unclear, it is undoubtedly a great thing."

"Although this vein is not large, after all the Void Stones contained in it are mined, according to my brother's estimation, a total of 18 medium-to-large teleportation arrays can be built!"

"This is luck, no one can stop it!"

"It just so happens that my eldest brother has recently inherited the method of constructing a teleportation array. What a coincidence!"

Although Wan'er said this, she was actually very surprised in her heart.

This incredible thing can no longer be described as luck, it makes people feel unbelievable.

Although soon after, only a dozen teleportation arrays were set up in the jurisdiction of the Renaissance Army.

However, this kind of strategic building, let alone more than a dozen, even if there are only four or five, can allow the Fuxing Army, together with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians from all directions, to cross millions of miles in an instant. How important is its strategic significance?

At that time, the efficiency of dispatching large quantities of materials and soldiers was improved by more than one level.
This will be a milestone for the Restoration Army, whose jurisdiction is growing larger and larger, and the future mode of warfare will also undergo a fundamental change.

"This is really great!"

Cao Bianjiao was also very excited. "Once the teleportation array connecting the northern capital and Zhenjiang Fort is completed, it will be difficult for Huang Taiji's remnants of the Later Jin Dynasty to survive!"

As the territory controlled by the Fuxing Army grows larger, it becomes increasingly difficult to fully control the area within its jurisdiction.

The successful development of the teleportation array means that this seemingly unsolvable problem will no longer exist.

Even if the number of teleportation arrays is small, it is enough to remove this shackles.

Since Wan'er had important matters to attend to, she discussed with Cao Bianjiao for a while, then left the City Lord's Mansion, called for her mount, the spirit bird Da Meng, and flew away towards the south.

Now, Da Meng, like his mother Da Jin, has broken through to the middle stage of the sixth level of cultivation, awakened and gained control of his own innate magical power of space. It only takes him half a day to cross a million miles. He is now completely different from the past.

……

Xijie Island in the north of the Ryukyu Islands welcomed an unexpected guest today. A fleet of 300 large treasure ships came riding the wind and waves.

A hundred years ago, King Shoki of the Ryukyu Kingdom led his army to the north and captured the Amami Islands.

Since then, the Ryukyu Kingdom expanded its influence to the entire Ryukyu Islands and determined its boundaries from Kikai Island and Amami Oshima in the north to Miyako Island and the Yaeyama Islands in the south.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Decades later, with the rise of Satsuma Domain on Japan's Honshu Island, the Japanese pirates were no longer satisfied with their existing territory and began to expand southward across the sea.

After the death of King Shoqing of the Ryukyu Kingdom, his successor was unable to resist the endless harassment of the Shimazu family. The Ryukyu Kingdom was invaded by Japanese pirates and gradually became a puppet royal family.

Today, the Ryukyu royal family, headed by King Shoho, is confined to the royal palace on the main island of Ryukyu and does not even have the freedom to travel.

At this time, the Ryukyu Kingdom was actually completely under the control of the Shimazu family.

"Commander Wan'er, Xijie Island is ahead."

Li Chang, commander of the Fourth Fleet, had just received a report from the advance reconnaissance ship. He quickly flew to Wan'er, who was standing on the bow deck of the flagship, and reported.

Originally, he was not completely sure about conquering the Ryukyu Kingdom, but after Wan'er arrived in time yesterday riding a golden eagle to join him, he immediately felt more confident and breathed a sigh of relief.

All the soldiers of the Fusion Army knew that Wan'er was the second best fighter in the army after the commander-in-chief, and she had never been defeated by the enemy so far.

With her in charge, the Japanese pirate Shimazu clan was not a formidable enemy at all.

Although the number of combat troops in the Fourth Fleet is not large, there are only 300,000 in total.

Even if they came out in full force from Yuegang this time, they were still outnumbered by the millions of Japanese pirates and civilians entrenched in the Ryukyu Islands.

Because of the importance of the Ryukyu Islands and the fact that they have only been controlled by the Shimazu family in recent decades, the proportion of warriors among the Japanese pirates and civilians stationed here is extremely high.

Intelligence gathered by the Military Intelligence Department showed that there were more than one million Japanese pirates entrenched in the Ryukyu Islands!
Even without Wan'er's participation, it would not be a problem for the Restoration Army's Fourth Fleet to defeat the enemy.

After all, the advantages of their own firearms and treasure ships are there.

But it is not easy to completely annihilate the opponent.

The main thing is that all the large and medium-sized islands where the Japanese pirates and civilians live here are not small in area, often hundreds of miles in radius.

If one wants to kill all the enemy soldiers and civilians on the island, landing operations are an essential step. It is impossible to completely wipe out the enemy by just bombarding with psychic cannons.

The Japanese pirates have always been known for their brutality, and it is foreseeable that they will fight to the death and refuse to surrender.

"There aren't many Japanese pirates and civilians on Xijie Island, only a few hundred thousand people. There shouldn't be many treasure ships on the only dock either. We can wait for a while and take them down in one fell swoop."

Li Chang continued, "We are afraid that the fighting will cause a lot of noise, which will alert the Japanese pirates on the nearby Amami Island, and then alert them. Once they are prepared, it will increase the difficulty of our army's attack."

Amami Oshima, which is a hundred miles away, is not comparable to the small Kikai Island.

On the Amami Oshima Island, which is thousands of miles in radius, there lived millions of Japanese pirates, soldiers and civilians, as well as hundreds of thousands of slaves from the Ryukyu Kingdom.

"Um……"

After hearing this, Wan'er thought about it for a while and made a decision. She gave the order, "Order the deputy commander of the Fourth Fleet, Huang Rong, to lead 50 treasure ships and 50,000 soldiers to capture Xijie Island!"

"The main force of our fleet will go straight to the naval port of Amami Oshima!"

"To be on the safe side, I will personally lead an army of 100,000 soldiers to carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese pirates on Amami Oshima!"

"Da Meng!"

She looked at the big golden eagle beside her and said, "You are responsible for hunting down all the spirit birds that fly from the island and preventing the pirates from sending out requests for help, so as not to expose the news of our attack and let the pirates on the main island of Ryukyu know about it."

Wan'er, who had experienced countless wars, naturally knew very well what tactics to adopt in order to quickly eliminate the Japanese pirates and the Shang royal family entrenched in the Ryukyu Islands.

Before heading south, Li Dingguo specifically instructed that this battle must not leave any troubles behind.

The Japanese pirates must be killed, and the same goes for the Ryukyu royal family.

"I will obey your order!"

Li Chang, Huang Rong and other fleet commanders immediately obeyed the order and left.

A moment later, the large fleet split into two. Huang Rong led 50,000 soldiers on 50 treasure ships, and led by a top-quality treasure ship, they rushed towards the already vaguely visible Xijie Island at high speed.

Wan'er personally led the main force of the fleet and headed straight for the distant Amami Oshima.

As the artillery roared in the direction of Kikai Island, the main force of the Restoration Army's Fourth Fleet quickly crossed the hundred-mile sea area and arrived fifteen miles in front of the Amami Oshima military port.

"All treasure ships!"

"Three volleys!"

"Flatten the pirates' big dock!"

Looking at the dozens of Japanese pirate treasure ships in the port of Amami Oshima ahead, Wan'er waved her hand, with a cold look in her eyes, and gave the order to concentrate fire.

The Japanese pirate base in the direction of the large dock ahead looked large in scale, but it was entirely made of short wooden buildings, and there was no formation guarding it, so it could not withstand the concentrated fire of its own huge fleet.

In today's world, the architecture of Japan is far inferior to that of the Goguryeo Dynasty.

Not only is it not beautiful at all, it is a true portrayal of being short, poor and ugly. Not to mention comparing it with the magnificent buildings of the Ming Dynasty, the two are simply not on the same level.

"Rumble..."

The 250 large treasure ships of the Renaissance Army were arranged in three horizontal columns and staggered. Under the command of generals at all levels, the psychic cannons on the ships began to roar!

Dazzling, hot psychic energy shells fell like raindrops on the treasure ship near the Japanese pirates' dock.

The Japanese pirates were completely unprepared and were bombarded with dense artillery shells before they could even activate the protective formation on the treasure ship. They were blown up on the spot one after another!

"An enemy is coming!"

"Quick! Fight back!"

"Damn it! Where do these enemies come from? The size of their fleet is much larger than ours!"

"Do not……"

Under the intensive firepower raid of the Restoration Army, in just one wave of attacks, none of the dozens of treasure ships in the only port of Amami Oshima could escape.

Broken limbs and pieces of flesh were flying everywhere, a thick blood mist filled the air, and the scene was in a mess...
