The Ryukyu Kingdom and the Li Dynasty both belong to the Ming Dynasty¡¯s loyal dog level.
But compared to Li Chaolai, who was founded on the principle of majorism and had a land border with the Ming Dynasty, the Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom, which was founded before the Ming Dynasty and was separated by the ocean, obviously had stronger independence in domestic and foreign affairs.
Even after being raped by the Satsuma clan, they could still hide it from the Ming Dynasty and put on a good show of one wife serving two husbands without revealing their secrets.
Furthermore, the reason why the Li Dynasty was so happy to agree to lend Jeju Island to Jiangnan for shipping was because the Li Dynasty did not dare not to comply with the overall situation of grain shipping. Secondly, Mr. Zhao seized the handle of Pu Chengxing and a group of Li Chao maritime merchants, and relied on these people to help hide it from Seoul.
In fact, the King of Li Dynasty and the two ministers still thought that the Ming Dynasty just borrowed a small port to supply and repair ships midway. Little do they know that half of Jeju Island no longer belongs to them.
"And Zhao Hao had no excuses and no handles for Ryukyu, and he pushed them too hard. They wanted to go to Beijing to sue their father. Zhao Hao didn't want to find excuses for Gao Gong, so his request for renting the port was never met, and even the number of guards stationed in Ryukyu was limited to a hundred people.
In the end, this happened
"No matter who did it, we must teach that damn King Shang Yuan a lesson this time, let him compensate for all our losses, and obediently meet all our demands. It won't be too late to investigate slowly!" Wang Rulong angrily asked for a fight. Said: "Sir, send our main fleet south!"
Jin Ke and Ma Yinglong also looked at the young master, but Zhao Hao asked calmly: "Brother Jin, what do you think?"
"Back to the young master, I think this is indeed an opportunity to make the King of Ryukyu obedient, but it seems inappropriate to send the main fleet to intimidate." Jin Ke said slowly: "Ryukyu is a country designated by Emperor Taizu as a country not to be conquered. As long as we don't really fire, they may not be afraid."
"No conquest," Wang Rulong said nonchalantly: "Annan and Japan are still countries without conquest. Should they be beaten or beaten?"
"This is because you don't understand. The original text of Taizu's ancestral teaching is, 'if he does not think about himself and comes to disturb us, it is unlucky for him. He is not a trouble to China, and it is also unlucky for me to attack lightly. ." Jin Ke smiled bitterly and said: "So the premise of 'no levy' is that 'he is not a trouble for China'. If he is, why don't we keep him for the New Year?"
"Actually, I don't agree with the so-called 'country without conquest'. I think it is tantamount to tying one's own hands and feet." He was afraid that the young master would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained: "It's just that the King of Ryukyu has this shield and is not afraid of the Celestial Empire. fleet, not to mention that although we carry the title of 'Royal', we are not the true King's Division."
"Is there nothing we can do about him?" Wang Rulong said in a muffled voice.
"Of course not, and there is no need to use swords at all. A domestic dog that has been raised well should not be served with sticks. Stern words and harsh words are enough to make it obey. As long as the young master manages to ask the court to issue an edict to reprimand us and order them to compensate us. That's enough." Jin Ke smiled lightly and said, "When the time comes, you can give them a good deal and get everything you want."
As he spoke, he raised his brows and said: "If they dare to refuse, they will be rebelling against the order. When the warships press the border and bombard the royal city, they will only lose their teeth and swallow the blood in their stomachs."
"That's right." Zhao Hao said with an approving smile: "Brother Jin is indeed mature and prudent. When dealing with vassal countries, we should be more particular about means. If all means are ineffective, it is not too late to overturn the table."
"Oh, I understand." I heard the young master say this. Wang Rulong nodded and no longer insisted on his opinion.
"But your fleet must be ready to depart as soon as possible." Zhao Hao said with a serious expression: "After I find out the culprit, I will order you to go south as soon as possible and kill him without leaving any trace! Let those The lawless Lord of the Sea understands that the only way to go against us is to die!"
"Yes! The loss of this escort is not large, and the intensity is not high. We can set off again at the beginning of June at the most!" Wang Rulong responded hurriedly and said with a sinister smile: "In fact, there is no need to investigate and clean up all these scum that are burdened with blood debts. It¡¯s clean and you will never wrong anyone!¡±
"That's right." This time Jin Ke also supported Wang Rulong and said: "Since the young master has decided to take the South China Sea into his pocket, how can he allow others to snore next to the bed? Just use this excuse to clear out all the garbage!"
"Haha, it seems that Brother Jin is also disgusted with those sea masters." Zhao Hao heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and said.
"The general will not dare." Jin Ke looked serious. He knew that the young master admired those pirates who dominated the Southeast Asia. This can be seen from the young master's admiration for Wang Zhi and his love for the sea.
But Jin Ke is very worried that the young master will recruit those pirates, not because he is afraid that they will threaten his position. If I could be compared to those pirates??, why do you still have a colleague? "
"Oh, don't scare me." Mr. Zhao trembled, and the mung bean soup poured down his neck.
"Don Weng, don't listen to his nonsense. We won't go into Fucheng and go directly to the Coastal Defense Department in Anbu to wait. There will be no problem." Wu Chengen quickly comforted him and said: "Everything happened before you took office. There will be no problem if you do this. It¡¯s a question. When the time comes, you will have soldiers and ships under your command, so what do you have to fear?¡±
"Well, that's true. Then enter the house quietly without making any noise." Mr. Zhao made up his mind.
I was just thinking about how about we go to the beach and take a boat, that would be the safest way. But I saw a fast horse galloping from the south of the official road.
The surrounding guards immediately became vigilant, but the visitor shouted from a distance: "Is this Zhao Zhuangyuan's team in front?"
"Yes, it's me. Who are you?" Zhao Shouzheng stood up and asked.
"This villain is a guy from the Penghu Commercial Station, and I have been ordered to come here to report the news!" The man showed his identity card and turned out to be from the Special Operations Section of the Security Department.
The guards took away his weapons and then brought him to Zhao Shouzheng.
"What's up?"
"That giant bandit once led an army to attack Chaozhou City. Please turn back quickly to avoid harming Chiyu!" the intelligence agent said urgently.
