Chapter 277 9 State Island and Immigration
"Well, okay, now that things are over here, it's time for me to leave."
Ning Quan nodded, and then took Sikong Ruo out of Danshui City and took a flying car to Jiuzhou Island.
..........
Kitakyushu is a city located at the northernmost tip of Kyushu Island, Japan.
Kitakyushu belongs to Chikuzen Province, and its daimyo is Otomo Masachika, also known as the Otomo family.
Otomo, Ryuzoji and Shimazu are known as the Three Heroes of Kyushu and are old-established families on Kyushu Island.
But now the Otomo family has been completely destroyed, destroyed by Qi Jiguang.
The same fate also befell Ryuzoji and Shimazu, all of whom were slaughtered by Qi Jiguang.
Now the entire Kyushu Island is under the control of Qi Jiguang.
Next, Qi Jiguang prepared to cross the Kanmon Strait and march towards Honshu Island.
The Kanmon Strait is a strait between Kyushu Island and Honshu Island. The narrowest part of the strait is about 700 meters. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
And across the strait is the sphere of influence of the Ouchi family.
The Ouchi family was one of the most prosperous families during the Warring States period in Japan and was very powerful.
The famous Mori Motonari, also known as the Mori clan, was also a retainer of the Ouchi clan at that time.
The current head of the Ouchi family is Ouchi Yoshiro, who is said to be cruel, bloodthirsty and murderous.
.......
At this time, Ouchi Yoshiro was discussing with his staff how to deal with Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang's name is now known to everyone in Japan.
In just a few months, Otomo, Ryuzoji, and the three Shimazu brothers were destroyed. Such a record is simply horrifying.
The key point is that Qi Jiguang was from Daqian, which means that his appearance represented Daqian's official invasion of Japan.
"Master, Qi Jiguang is a very cunning and ruthless person. His hands are stained with the blood of the Japanese people."
A retainer looked at Ouchi Yoshiro and said in a deep voice.
"Well, I know that."
"There probably aren't many people left on the entire Kyushu Island."
Ouchi Yoshiro nodded and said angrily.
"Yes, according to spies, all men over the age of fourteen on Kyushu Island were massacred."
"Qi Jiguang is simply a devil. We must not let him go, let alone let him land on Honshu Island."
One of the retainers said this through gritted teeth.
"Humph! This general also hopes to kill this devil."
"But he is much stronger than us now. We can only defend and have no ability to take the initiative to attack."
Ouchi Yoshiro sighed.
He had only 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers under his command, while Qi Jiguang had 100,000 troops, so he had no chance of winning.
"Master, we don't need to be afraid of him."
"We just need to block the strait and prevent him from landing on Honshu Island, and he will be unable to do anything to us."
"This will give us time to get more reinforcements from the daimyo, and then we can fight them to the death."
"This war is not just a matter for our Ouchi family, but also concerns the survival of the Japanese nation. The other daimyo will never sit idly by and they will definitely support us."
A retainer said indignantly.
"Well, you're right."
When Ouchi Yoshiro heard this, his eyes flashed.
"Pass my order to immediately close the Kanmon Strait."
"Also, contact other daimyo immediately and ask them to send reinforcements to support us."
Ouchi Yoshiro looked at his retainers and said
"Hi."
..........
At the same time, Ning Quan flew to Kitakyushu City.
"Ruo'er, what you're about to see might be a little bloody, so be prepared!"
When they were about to land, Ning Quan stared at Sikong Ruo.
Qi Jiguang strictly carried out Ning Quan's order. After occupying Kyushu Island, he carried out a large-scale massacre of the residents, killing all men over the age of fourteen.
Jia Xu was even more ruthless. He directly assigned the remaining women to the Xiongnu and Khitan soldiers. As for the children, they were also gathered together and imprisoned. Anpa and others were forced to learn Chinese.
The elderly worked as laborers, building roads and city walls.
According to Jia Xu, the better one person dies of exhaustion, the less one there is!
So, now Kyushu Island can be said to be filled with blood everywhere.
Looking down from the air, Ning Quan could see corpses piled up like mountains, scattered across the streets and houses, blood gathered into rivers, and a strong smell of blood wafted in the air.
“Well, we get it.”
Hearing this, Sikong Ruo nodded slightly.
In fact, even if Ning Quan didn't say it, Sikong Ruo could see the scene below himself.
Fortunately, she came from a military family and had seen blood and gore, so she could still withstand it.
However, her two personal maids, Cuiyun and Cuizhu, were trembling with fear. If the young lady had not been by their side, they would have collapsed to the ground.
Soon, Ning Quan landed on the street of Kitakyushu City.
Qi Jiguang, Jia Xu and others were notified in advance, so they were waiting here early.
"Your Highness and Madam!"
Seeing Ning Quan and others arrive, everyone bowed in unison.
"Everyone, please stand up."
Ning Quan looked at everyone with a smile.
"Your Highness, this place is too chaotic. Please go into the mansion and rest for a while."
Jia Xu looked at Ning Quandao.
Hearing this, Ning Quan nodded, then followed Jia Xu towards the mansion in the city.
As we walked along, we saw corpses everywhere on the streets, and piles of burning corpses emitting a foul stench.
Ning Quan was a special forces soldier in his previous life, and he had already developed antibodies to this, so he didn't think anything of it.
However, Sikong Ruo couldn't stand it anymore and kept covering his nose.
Cui Yu and Cui Zhu were in even worse condition, their faces were pale and their lips were blue.
Seeing this, Ning Quan hurriedly ordered the guards to support them.
The so-called mansion is naturally the former mansion of the Otomo family, which has now become the command post of Qi Jiguang and others.
The group arrived at the mansion. Ning Quan first settled Sikong Ruo down before returning to the conference room.
"Your Highness, Kyushu Island has been basically cleared now. I will prepare to attack Honshu Island next."
"But we'll need the help of the navy because there's a strait in between."
Qi Jiguang reported.
"Well, that's not a problem. I'll arrange a large ship to assist you."
"Just, are you ready here?"
Ning Quan looked at Qi Jiguang and asked.
"Your Highness, everything is ready."
Qi Jiguang affirmed.
He had already made all the preparations, and now all that was left was to cross the sea and land.
"How many warships does the opposing navy have?" Ning Quan continued to ask.
"Your Highness, the opposing navy has a total of fifty warships, but they are all small warships. However, there are two artillery batteries at the harbor, equipped with more than ten cannons."
"Well, I understand."
"The large ship is now in the open sea. I will head there shortly and will be responsible for destroying the artillery batteries and naval warships on the other side. Prepare for action."
Ning Quan nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Qi Jiguang bowed in response and hurried down to prepare.
"Wenhe, how is the immigration situation?"
After Qi Jiguang left, Ning Quan asked Jia Xu.
