Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Since the founding of the Shang Dynasty, this country has been strictly abiding by the rules and regulations of the country and paying tribute on time. Together with Korea and Annan, it has become the three major vassals of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has also been very generous to Ryukyu. Not only has it always  They made a fortune through the frequent tribute trade, which allowed them to make a fortune. Moreover, because the country's shipbuilding standards were so poor that tribute boats capsized from time to time, Emperor Taizu even sent thirty-six families of Fujian shipwrights to Ryukyu to help them improve their skills.  Shipbuilding level."

    "The King of Ryukyu attached great importance to these people from the Celestial Dynasty. He placed them on Naha Island and established a Tang camp. He also incorporated them into the gentry and gave them generous treatment and privileges. These Fujian people settled down for generations, not only helping Ryukyu control the  The superb shipbuilding technology also taught them various skills and culture. With the help of the thirty-six surnames of the Fujian people, the Ryukyu Kingdom got rid of its primitive state and entered the civilized era."

    "Naturally, the thirty-six surnames of the Fujian people have also received great respect from the royal family to the people. They have enjoyed high officials and generous salaries in Ryukyu for generations, and even worshiped the prime minister - and were given the fifth largest island of Ryukyu, Kume Island, as a fief.  Therefore, the Ryukyu people call them the 'Kume clan' and call the Naha Tang Camp 'Kume Castle'."

    Mr. Zhao on the side was a little distracted again, but this time he remembered that your wife Yui Aragaki has the thirty-sixth surname of the Fujian people.  The surname Xinyuan comes from the surname "Lin". It was only after the Japanese occupation that it was forced to evolve into "Xinyuan".

    No wonder the otakus four hundred years later are so obsessed with this big-faced beauty. It turns out that she should have been named ¡®Lin Yui¡¯

    ¡®In this life, we must never let our children and grandchildren have their wives taken away again.  ¡¯ Mr. Zhao secretly swore an oath to protect him.

    ??~~

    "For more than a hundred years, the Kume clan has firmly controlled Ryukyu's diplomacy and trade, earning endless wealth. Then they controlled part of the government and Shuri's city defense. And because they are foreigners, they cannot threaten the status of the royal family.  , so the Shang family also trusts them, and the two parties have always been getting along harmoniously."

    While Ma Yinglong was drinking water, Rong Sheng interjected and asked: "Why can't foreigners threaten the status of the royal family? Isn't it just a matter of being canonized by the imperial court?"

    "Because the canonization of the country can only guarantee half of the legitimacy of the throne, and the other half comes from their tradition." Ma Yinglong put down the water glass and said solemnly: "I just said that his country still retains a lot of original traditions. His country still retains a lot of original traditions.  It is recorded in the history books that the ancestor of the Ryukyu people is the goddess Amo Mikyu. The three sons and two daughters of the goddess are the ancestors of the royal family, princes, goddesses, shrine maidens and the common people respectively. This is of course nonsense, but their citizens firmly believe it.  , and use this as a reason to accept the king¡¯s rule.¡±

    "So in the inheritance of the Wang family in Ryukyu, the miko, the spokesperson of the goddess, plays an extremely important role. The senior miko is called Zhunu, and the leader of Zhunu is called 'Maten Zhunu'. If the new king wants to succeed, he must get her  Only with the approval and blessing, of course in the name of God.¡±

    "Therefore, Ma Tianzhu's power is very great. It has happened before that she used the oracle to make the king abdicate and establish a new king. However, what was miscalculated was that the successor, King Shangzhen, was the most outstanding king of Zhongshan of the generation.  He completely consolidated his power by putting down the rebellion, cultivating internal politics, and making friends with the Kumi gentry. Finally, he took back the appointment power of Zhu Nu to the king, and canonized Ma Tianzhu Nu as the Wende Maharaja, stipulating that only royal women can obtain this title.  , this not only suppressed Zhu Nu¡¯s power, but also ensured that the inheritance of the throne would not be left to outsiders.¡±

    "The current King of Zhongshan, Shang Yuan, is the grandson of Shang Zhen. And the current Lord Wende is the granddaughter of King Shang Zhen. Through the integration of sacrifice and government, the brother and sister have completely eliminated the disobedience of outsiders." Ma Yinglong said suddenly.  He laughed and said:

    "It is precisely because he is so confident about his home base that Shang Yuan will personally conquer the northernmost Amami Island to defeat the disobedient chief there." As he spoke, he clicked on the northernmost large island on the Ryukyu map.  : "That's also the destination of our trip."

    ¡°Shang Yuan is in Amami Oshima?¡± The police officers all exclaimed.

    "That's right." Ma Yinglong nodded and said: "Because after the death of the chief of Amami Oshima and the great relatives of Wan, his colleagues and others rebelled and refused to pay tribute Note that the object of tribute from the chief of Oshima was not the Ming Dynasty, but the Zhongshan Kingdom. Facts  In the past, Zhongshan Kingdom was the dominant power in the Ryukyu waters, and the four or five surrounding islands and tribes all came to Shuri regularly to pay tribute, just like Ryukyu paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty."

    ¡°The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals Mr. Zhao suddenly thought of this sentence.  Not happy

    "So after several months of planning, King Shangyuan personally led an army of three thousand and more than fifty ships to conquer the Oshima." Ma Yinglong then turned to a map of the waters of Amami Oshima and pointed to the northern part of the island marked  Large bay channel with several black boats:

    "They landed at this place called Amami Bay. The latest intelligence shows that the Ryukyu army hasThe rebels fought several times, and after a series of battles and victories, they penetrated deep into its territory. The rebels were defeated and fled in all directions. The rebel chief surrendered and was executed!  "

    Then, he said word by word: "According to the detailed report from the agency around King Shangyuan, King Shangyuan has established a chief, appeased the people, and completed the suppression of the rebellion. He also selected an auspicious day and returned to the court two days later!  "

    "Okay, the military information is summarized here." After speaking, he took a sip of water and said to the police officers: "The following is question time."

    "How many troops are there in Shuri Castle now?" Haldi immediately raised his hand and asked.

    "Almost five hundred people." Ma Yinglong said.

    "Huh?" The police officers couldn't help but be surprised.  "so little?"

    "There are less than 200,000 people in the whole territory of Ryukyu, and less than 100,000 people live on the main island. It is already remarkable that the king can raise 3,000 direct troops and 500 more to guard Naha and the royal city. Those 3,000  The army is known as the 'Three Prefectures, Thirty-Six Islands, and Three Thousand Zhongshan Palace Army'. It is the strongest armed force in the Ryukyu Islands and the guarantee of Zhongshan's royal power." Ma Yinglong thought for a moment and added:

    "The combat effectiveness of these three thousand royal troops is pretty good. Because of the convenience of the Ryukyu International Trade Center, they are equipped with a lot of firearms and armor. They can at least bully those dishonest natives."

    ¡®We can only bully the natives¡¯ Zhao Hao secretly sighed.  If he had not intervened, in a few decades, the Satsuma Domain of Kyushu Island would have sent three thousand troops and more than a hundred ships to invade Ryukyu.

    He remembered clearly that the Shimazu family¡¯s troops landed on Ryukyu Island on April 1st, and occupied Shuri Castle on April 5th, killing Ryukyu King Shangning and his princes and officials.  Since then, the period of humiliation for one maid and two husbands in Ryukyu began.

    ??~~

    "What about their navy?" the police officers asked one after another. This is what they are most concerned about.

    "The main force of the Ryukyu navy is the fifty warships they ride on. They are similar in shape to the Ming Dynasty's lucky ships, but the largest ones only have about a thousand materials and are much different in structure. Therefore, the firepower on the ships is very limited, and there are few large ships.  There are only a few Folangjis, which are mainly used to transport troops and have limited naval combat capabilities." Ma Yinglong replied.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Coast Guard fleet had completely annihilated the Shimadzu family¡¯s navy, their level was no different from other navy¡¯s, they were all the same.

    But such a bad guy, the Shimadzu Navy, which didn¡¯t even have cannons, was able to successfully kill the Ryukyu Navy and send the Shimazu Army to the island.

    It seems that the Ryukyu Army is not only unable to deal with the army, but also the navy is very sparse.

    "This is like a defenseless child walking through the busy city with a treasure in his hands. It would be weird if he didn't let anyone do anything to him."

    Of course, the good news for the King of Ryukyu is that if the Shimadzu family cannot break through the blockade of the Tanegashima Marine Police Station, they will not threaten the Ryukyu Kingdom.

    But the bad news is that the person who did it was Mr. Zhao.

    ??~~

    After Ma Yinglong¡¯s military intelligence summary was completed, the police officers had a clearer understanding of the country and enemy they were facing.

    ¡°Then it was Wang Rulong¡¯s turn. He glanced at his police officers and said slowly:

    "The strength of the Ryukyu Kingdom is far inferior to that of Kyushu's daimyo. They are basically just a group of chickens under the wings of the Ming Dynasty. This time they kill the chicken with a sledgehammer, and victory is of course a piece of cake."

    The police officers nodded one after another. Of course they have this confidence.

    "But the problem is that Ryukyu is not an enemy country like Japan. We fight the enemy countries when we fight them, and they have no place to reason." Wang Rulong smiled bitterly and said: "But Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom is different. They are a model vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.  , the imperial court has always treated them differently from other countries, and it is no exaggeration to say that they love them the most."

    Although North Korea always regards itself as the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty and the most loyal dog, since the "Chenghua Liting", they have developed a deadly feud with the neighboring female straight people. The two sides are at each other's throats all day long. If they can't fight, they will go to Beijing to complain to their father.  .  In order to maintain peace on the northeastern border, Ming Dynasty had to mediate between the two sides again and again.  But it is inevitable that there will be an inability to clap, and this Korean stick is not a good thingactually, the straight woman is like a wild dog all day long, is she trying to plot my Nurgan Dusi or something like that.  Therefore, it is inevitable to be wary of Li Chaoduo.

    For example, the Ming Dynasty still told Li Chao that the fire salt in gunpowder was refined from sea water.  As a result, a group of alchemists from the Li Dynasty spent all day cooking salt on the beach.

    But Li Chao was not at a loss this time. Although he never extracted the fire salt, he made a mistake and greatly improved the quality of Korean salt. It became the new favorite on the dining tables of Beijing dignitaries and made a lot of money.

    The so-called beauty comes from distance. Compared with Li Chaolai, who was secretly poking and trying to make trouble in the Northeast all day long, he lived far away from home and never caused trouble to the Ming Dynasty except paying tribute too diligently. He also asked for instructions early and reported late. He completely regarded himself as the Ming Dynasty.  The vassal Ryukyu Kingdom naturally became the favorite of the imperial court.  The imperial court also intended to treat Ryukyu favorably, making it a model for many vassals.

    So if you beat him today, he will definitely go to Beijing to complain tomorrow.  In view of the Ryukyu Kingdom's overly good image in the court and their continued filial piety to the ministers in the capital for many years, it is hard to say who the court will turn to when the time comes.

    Mr. Zhao estimated that even if he fired a few more sets of Weisheng porcelain for Humong and produced a full set of Jin Ping Mei color cartoons without editing, Emperor Longqing would at most order both sides to stop fighting, and he would never favor himself, which would chill the hearts of the vassals all over the world.  of.

    Mr. Zhao is out for revenge?  Is he that vindictive?  He simply covets other people's bodies and wants to eat up Ryukyu in one go!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Became the darling of the imperial court.  The imperial court also intended to treat Ryukyu favorably, making it a model for many vassals.
