The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Chapter 262: Satsuma Domain in Japan

"Yes, I understand, Daddy."

Sikong Ruo responded obediently.

"Well, I'm relieved.

"Okay, I'm leaving then."

Sikong Yan patted Sikong Ruo's shoulder and smiled.

Sikong Ruo watched his father leave, his eyes slightly red.

In the blink of an eye, she was about to be separated from her father.

"Okay, don't be sad. If anything happens in the future, I will be the first to take your father away."

Ning Quan comforted gently.

"Ah."

Sikong Ruo nodded slightly.

Although she was reluctant in her heart, she knew that it was a matter of time and she could not stay with her father forever.

"Let's go, let's go back and pack up, and then I'll take you back to Xizhou."

Ning Quan smiled.

"it is good."

Sikong Ruo nodded, and then prepared to go back to the ship to pack up.

But at this moment, Sikong Yan suddenly turned back with an anxious look on his face.

“Father, what’s wrong?”

Sikong Ruo asked hurriedly when he saw his expression.

"Something happened to your second uncle's family, and he sent someone back to ask for help."

Sikong Yan said anxiously.

"Ah? What happened? Isn't my second uncle's family in Japan? Could it be..."

Sikong Ruo asked in shock.

"Yes, your uncle and his men were attacked in Japan by the local daimyo."

"The messenger said that your second uncle and his family are in a very bad situation right now."

Sikong Yan said solemnly.

"How could this happen? What should we do? Is it too late to go now?"

Sikong Ruo was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"I don't know if it's too late. I've already sent someone back to mobilize the navy to go to Japan."

Sikong Yan frowned.

"It will take several days to mobilize the navy. I think I should go. I have a large ship here and can get there in a day and a night."

At this time, Ning Quan said.

Sikong Yan turned around and went back, actually he wanted Ning Quan to help him, otherwise he wouldn't have to go back, but he was embarrassed to say it.

Ning Quan certainly understood what he meant, so he took the initiative to speak.

"this........."

"In that case, thank you for your help."

Sikong Yan said gratefully.

“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do.”

"Well, I'll set off right away. Leave this matter to me."

Ning Quan smiled.

"Okay, I have to rush back to the capital, so I can't go. I'll leave everything to you."

"Do you need soldiers? I'll give you all the ones I have."

Sikong Yan pointed at the guards around him and asked.

"No need, I have plenty of manpower."

Ning Quan smiled and waved his hand.

“Well, bon voyage then.”

"This is a soldier who's here to deliver a letter. He knows the location. If you have any questions, just ask him. I'm leaving now."

Sikong Yan called the soldier who came to deliver the letter, introduced him to Ning Quan, and then turned and left.

"May I have your name."

“Where were you attacked?”

After Sikong Yan left, Ning Quan asked the soldiers.

"Your Highness, my name is Wang Dahu, and I am a captain in the palace."

"We landed in the south of Kagoshima. The local lord welcomed us and even granted us a piece of land as our fiefdom."

"But who knew that the lord would soon be defeated by another daimyo, and then we were attacked by the new daimyo."

Wang Dahu said quickly.

"What is this great man's name, and how many troops does he have?"

Ning Quan continued to ask.

"Your Highness, the new daimyo is the Shimazu clan, and they are said to have 100,000 soldiers."

Wang Dahu replied quickly.

“Shimazu?”

"Satsuma Domain?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Quan immediately understood.

Ning Quan is very familiar with the history of Japan. The Shimazu clan is from the Satsuma domain, one of the most powerful daimyo on Kyushu Island.

"With so many troops, can you hold on?"

"Your Highness, the enemy has only sent a thousand men to attack us. We can handle them in a short time as long as we provide timely rescue."

Wang Dahu quickly replied.

"Well, I understand."

"Just stay by my side. I'll find you anytime if I need anything."

Ning Quan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Wang Dahu clasped his fists in response.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

At this time, Sikong Ruo came to Ning Quan and thanked him.

"What's there to thank me for? Your second uncle is also my elder."

"Also, our marriage has been decided. From now on, you don't need to call me Your Highness or Your Highness. You should just call me husband or lord."

Ning Quan smiled when he heard this.

"Oh."

Sikong Ruo's cheeks were slightly hot and he whispered.

Ning Quan is right. The marriage has been decided, so how can we still call him "Your Highness"? It would be so distant!

"General Bai Qi, immediately mobilize two thousand soldiers and follow me to Japan!"

Ning Quan looked at Bai Qi and gave orders.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Bai Qi clasped his fists, accepted the order, and turned to leave.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the large ship set off with the soldiers and headed towards Japan.

......

Japan.

Outside a newly built village.

Hundreds of Japanese soldiers were rushing towards the village frantically.

"Quick, stop them, don't let them rush in!"

A sixty-year-old man shouted loudly, commanding the soldiers to fight.

He is Sikong Yan’s younger brother Sikong Ming, who moved here with his family half a month ago.

But who would have thought that just as they settled down, they were attacked by the new daimyo.

"Yes."

The surrounding soldiers agreed, took up their weapons and fought bravely, blocking the enemy at the fence.

The other elderly, weak, women and children in the village were also busy. They held bows and crossbows and tried their best to shoot at the enemies on the opposite side.

Sikong Ming led his people to Japan and made sufficient preparations.

They carried a large amount of supplies, including bows and crossbows, and a variety of weapons.

Just in case, now they are all in use.

"Pfft!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The crossbow quickly pierced the chest of the enemy, blood splattered, and took away lives.

"Baga, retreat quickly!"

Seeing that the enemy's crossbows were too powerful, the enemy could only retreat in embarrassment.

There is no way, the crossbows of the Daqian people are too powerful.

Although they also had shields to defend themselves, many people were still injured by arrows, and the casualties were too heavy.

"Hurry, treat the wounded and take some time to rest."

"They'll attack again soon."

The enemy retreated, Sikong Ming shouted hurriedly, and then began to arrange defensive fortifications and clear the wounded.

......

Meanwhile, in Satsuma City.

"My Lord, why should we attack the Daqian people? They are just here to settle down!"

"And we can learn a lot about Gan culture through them."

Inside the city lord's mansion, a middle-aged warrior looked at the head of the Shimazu family sitting opposite him with a puzzled look on his face.
