Ryukyu Storm: the Ryukyu War of the Ming Dynasty Envoy

In the thirty-fourth year of Wanli, the imperial court sent the military department to the right to enthrone Xia Ziyang as an envoy. He carried the imperial edict to cross the sea and conferred the title of King Shangning, the king of Ryukyu. A scholar, an edict, and a sail sail across the black ocean. Xia Ziyang originally thought that this trip was just a routine canonization - reading out the imperial edict, awarding seals and ribbons, and drinking a few drinks to celebrate the banquet. However, after arriving in Ryukyu, he found that this small peaceful country was on the eve of a storm: the Shimazu clan of Satsuma Domain in Japan was working hard and sharpening their swords, and a long-planned annexation plan was about to be launched. Xia Ziyang was forced to be involved in a war that was far beyond imagination: he trained troops, built artillery, and built cities, transforming Ryukyu from a literati utopia into an iron-blooded fortress; he dealt with the capitulation faction and the war faction in the Ryukyu royal court, walking a tightrope in the cracks of trust and suspicion; he faced not barbarian pirates, but a tiger and wolf army tempered from the troubled times of the Warring States Period for a hundred years. In March 1609, the Satsuma fleet came to cover the sea. Shimazu's army was divided into north and south, and its momentum was overwhelming. Under Shuri Castle, artillery roared and the stone walls were stained with blood. Xia Ziyang personally went to the front line as a canonized envoy to command the Ming and Liu allied forces to fight against the Satsuma fleet... This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
