Ren Yuan's singing voice isn't particularly good.

So this sudden sound attack caught everyone off guard!

Chief, we're on the same side, don't say a word!

But surprisingly, the effect was much better!

Perhaps it was because the song had a great rhythm, or perhaps because Ren Yuan sang with great passion, that some of these Japanese pirates, even though they didn't understand what the lyrics were about, actually shed tears!

Seeing that it was effective, Ren Yuan became even more enthusiastic. This time, he even switched to the Japanese version!

And you know what? This performance brought even more tears to the eyes of the Japanese pirates.

"What is brother doing?"

Lü Fang did not understand Ren Yuan's actions.

In his view, it's just about getting someone to surrender; there's no need to make it so complicated!

"You don't believe me when I say you don't use your brain."

Guo Sheng patted Lü Fang on the shoulder:

Have you ever heard of being besieged on all sides?

"By using songs from our hometown, we can break down people's willpower. That's what my brother did. This is the best way to destroy someone's spirit!"

"Surrounded on all sides? I understand, brother, you've been thinking about all this before."

Upon hearing Guo Sheng's words, Lü Fang felt as if he had been enlightened.

No wonder my brother wanted to sing; he was planning to be surrounded by enemies on all sides!

"That's right, otherwise how could my brother be our leader? Old Lu, you really need to use your brain more."

"Hehe, Lao Guo, don't leave when we get back to camp. Let's fight three hundred rounds first!"

"Plop, plop..."

Whether they were moved or thought Ren Yuan sang badly, a group of Japanese pirates knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, and they all expressed their willingness to surrender!

"Great, we have a mining team."

Seeing that these people had surrendered willingly, Ren Yuan was in a great mood and stopped singing.

"Everyone, let's clean up the battlefield one last time, then we'll go to the capital of Higo Province for dinner!"

"Yes!"

……

The battle on the Tsukushi Plain shook the entire Kyushu island.

Liangshan achieved a great victory over the six-nation coalition forces on Kyushu Island at the cost of fewer than 500 casualties.

In this battle, Liangshan annihilated 13,000 enemy soldiers and captured more than 5,000. The remaining 1,000 or so fled and their whereabouts are unknown.

After this battle, the six northern kingdoms of Tsukushi Island were completely annihilated, and two-thirds of the island's territory was taken over by Liangshan.

At Higo Junior High School, members of the Kato Kuma family attempted to escape by sea. They were intercepted by Fei Bao and his men in the Ariake Sea. Because these people refused to surrender, Fei Bao did not tolerate them and ordered the ship to be sunk!

The Kato clan, which ruled Higo Province for eight generations, disappeared into the vast sea!

After the Liangshan army entered the capital of Higo Province (present-day Kumamoto Prefecture), Renyuan immediately issued a series of measures.

First, abolish the titles associated with the six kingdoms. The nobles on the island will no longer be nobles; their status will be the same as the original commoners and slaves on the island, without any privileges.

Secondly, the current situation of the people on the island does not need to be changed for the time being. After all the Liangshan reinforcements arrive, the adult men on the island will need to start going down into the mines to mine iron, coal, gold and other minerals.

Of course, Liangshan would guarantee the miners' food and basic living needs, but that was all.

As for the women on the island, they also needed to work. They would be assigned to each family of Liangshan immigrants as servants and laborers. If any Liangshan soldier was willing to marry them, they could also marry him.

In terms of culture, the policy previously established by Liangshan will continue. From now on, no one on Chikushi Island will learn any Japanese. All Japanese books and materials will be collected and destroyed, and the era of universal Chinese language will be replaced.

Let the Japanese culture on this island disappear in this generation! Let this country with its six-order system vanish into the long river of history!

At the same time, the Liangshan navy began patrolling the Kanmon Strait, the closest strait between Kyushu and Honshu, and any Japanese pirates attempting to cross from Honshu were to be killed without exception.

Ren originally planned to build coastal defenses and fortifications in the Guanmen Strait, and the Shenji Battalion's Thunder Cannons were specifically responsible for attacking the enemy at sea!

Of course, the laborers to build the fortifications had to be recruited from the local people first.

"Assimilating a group of people takes not five or ten years, but fifty or even a hundred years."

In the main hall of the Higo Kingdom's palace, Ren Yuan said to his brothers:

“We are still short of manpower, and the location of this island is prone to landslides, so for the time being, we can only make it a resource island. The natives on the island are the labor force we need most.”

"Once we conquer Goryeo, that will be the important area for our people to migrate to."

"From now on, apart from our garrison, the rest of the island will basically consist of exiled prisoners of war, criminals, and laborers."

Ren Yuan is treating Kyushu Island as the future Australia. However, none of the brothers present knew about Australia, and no one thought his strategy was wrong. Sending a group of villains to work in this place can both boost productivity and deal with those villains—a win-win situation!

The main reason is that the number of people Liangshan has taken in is already sufficient on Jeju Island.

In the future, Liangshan will take over Goryeo, then attack the Jurchens and Liao Dynasty in the north, and reclaim the Central Plains. At that time, there will be no large-scale migration.

"Brother, the most important thing now is to immediately send out our scouts to redraw the maps of the six kingdoms we have already conquered, and to count the number of people in each kingdom. We should also give them some benefits."

Hsu Kuan-chung said there's a lot to do next.

"Yes, Guanzhong, you'll be in charge of all these matters. By the way, have the treasuries of these six kingdoms been searched and confiscated?"

This is still the issue that Ren Yuan is concerned about.

"Brother, don't even mention it. Although this place is called the Six Kingdoms, it's actually not even as big as a single prefecture of our Great Song Dynasty. The national treasury is practically overflowing with money!"

During the Song Dynasty, Liangshan conquered prefectures and counties such as Daming Prefecture, Gaotang Prefecture, and Jiang Prefecture, as well as local gangs like Zengtou City and Zhujiazhuang. Each time, their spoils were considerable.

However, the gains from this major victory over the six-nation coalition did not satisfy Ren Yuan.

The combined grain reserves of the six kingdoms amounted to less than one million shi (a unit of dry measure), which was truly disheartening.

But there's nothing we can do about it. In this era, the economic strength of all the countries on Kyushu Island is relatively weak, with annual production generally ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of koku.

"By the way, where are Mi Sheng and the others now?"

Before the great battle between Renyuan and the six-nation alliance, Misa and his men also set off, traversing mountain paths to meet the remaining three nations, especially Hyuga, the largest country in the country under the command of the State ...

Ren Yuan's side has already completed the mission of destroying the six kingdoms, and the army has even been resting in the capital of Higo Kingdom for a day or two. However, there is still no news about Mi Sheng's forces.

"I'm not sure. If Miyuki and the others haven't gotten lost, they should already be fighting the people from Hyuga Province. If they fight fast enough, they could even invade Osumi Province and wipe out Satsuma Province as well!"

Xiao Jiahui said that as long as Mi Sheng does not encounter any accidents, then this Kyushu Island should be taken over by Liangshan soon!

This is a great achievement in expanding territory!

Mi Sheng, where are you now?
