Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early morning, King Shang Yuan woke up from the gorgeous royal tent, but he did not make a sound immediately. Instead, he looked at the tent roof made of exquisite Su embroidery and was in a daze.

    Although Ryukyu does not raise silkworms and cannot weave silk, they are favored by the Emperor of Heaven. Every time they pay tribute, they will receive countless Hu silk, Su embroidery, Shu brocade, and tapestry silk as rewards. They can even customize them from the government-owned Weaving Bureau in Jiangnan.  Embroidery pattern.

    ¡°For example, the large-scale Su embroidery ¡®King Shang Zhen¡¯s Martial Arts Picture¡¯ on the roof of his marching tent was embroidered by the Suzhou Weaving Bureau after he produced the pattern a few years ago.  The content of the pattern is the eight great achievements of his grandfather King Shangzhen.

    The fifty years of King Shojin¡¯s reign were the most powerful period in Ryukyu history.  He quelled the Enmiji Red Bee Rebellion in the Yaeyama Islands; conquered the Kumejima Kanji forces and the Gushikawa Kanji forces; suppressed the "Onihu Rebellion" and conquered Yonaguni Island His illustrious martial arts, glorious for the ages, basically laid the foundation for the Zhongshan Kingdom  territory.

    Moreover, he also established Ryukyu's official rank, court ritual system, priest system, taxation system, and administrative divisions, expanded Shuri Castle, abolished the custom of sacrificial burials, called officials from all over the country to live in Shuri, prohibited private ownership of weapons, and strengthened the  With the centralization of power, Ryukyu finally got rid of its ignorance and entered the stage of civilization and peace.  He is recognized by Ryukyu people as the greatest Nakayama King.

    Although King Shangyuan had never met his grandfather, he grew up listening to his grandfather's deeds.  Because he was born in the year after his grandfather died, ministers often say that he was the wise master given to the Ryukyu people by the god Kimitema to inherit the great legacy of King Shoma.

    Many people have said this, and even he himself thinks so In fact, this is also beneficial. At least he has higher self-requirements and does a pretty good job.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And took this as an opportunity to gradually weaken the few powerful families.

    At the time of the outbreak of Japanese aggression, Ryukyu was located in the center of maritime trade, so it was natural that it was frequently invaded by Japanese invaders.  He led his subjects to build two forts at Naha Port - the South Fort and the North Fort.  He also purchased muskets, artillery, armor and gunpowder, led 3,000 royal troops to resist the Japanese pirates for several years, captured enemy ships several times, and returned the captive Ming people to the Chinese Empire.  Received several awards from Daming¡¯s father

    With the victory of China¡¯s anti-Japanese war, the Japanese invasion of Ryukyu has basically disappeared in recent years.  The ministers around him all boasted that his martial arts was comparable to that of King Shang Zhen.

    But he felt that he was still far behind. His grandfather's eight martial arts campaigns were all conducted personally, while he just huddled in Shuri Castle and passively defended based on the forts for more than ten years.  Is this not promising at all?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together.

    But the ministers blocked him in every possible way, and even used examples of Emperor Yingzong¡¯s hunting in the north and Emperor Wuzong¡¯s southern tour to scare him.  It is said that the king of a country should not put himself in danger easily, so you should stay well in Shuri Castle.

    Having heard this kind of clich¨¦ too much, Shang Yuan naturally sneered. Emperor Yingzong had a traitor around him. As for Emperor Wuzong, it was even more unexpected. There was no chance that there would be a second emperor who fell into the lake while swimming, right?

    So you can¡¯t just say that because of these two times, the king will die if he leaves the capital, right?

    Emperors Chengzu and Xuanzong both went on military expeditions in person. Didn¡¯t they all return triumphantly?  Therefore, the king's fate lies in heaven, not in the mouths of his ministers!  King Shangyuan, who has been in power for many years, is so confident!

    Especially in these years, he obviously feels that his body is not as good as before. He feels that if he does not fight in person, he will never have the chance to establish a great cause that dominates the world like his ancestors.

    So for this rebellion on Amami Oshima, King Shangyuan opposed all opinions and insisted on going his own way and conquered it himself!  Prove that you are the King of Ryukyu who will carry forward the great achievements of King Shojin!

    The result is also perfect.  This time he personally commanded the army and came to conquer the big island.  The thieves did not overestimate their capabilities and led troops to fight. After a few battles, they were defeated and fled.  Master Wang penetrated deeply into the area, and the golden drum shook the sky with force like thunder.  The thieves were shocked, and countless people surrendered.  The thief chieftain was unable to fight, so he was bound and executed.  He ordered the establishment of a chief, appeased the people, and made a triumphant return to the army!

    "I am so outstanding. I am indeed the Lord of the East China Sea favored by the gods"

    He was so happy to death when he thought of the faces of those officials who were in charge of the company as if they were mourning their heirs when he went to war.

    This time when I return to the DPRK, I must ridicule them properly during the welcome ceremony.

    how to say?

    ¡°Yes, just say, ¡®Look, Gu Haoduan is back, right?  There was no hunting in the north, and there was no falling into the water Do you believe that the king's fate is in the sky now?  ¡¯

    Thinking of this, King Shang Yuan's heart became so hot that he could no longer lie down.

    He turned over and sat up, wishing he could put on his wings and fly back to Shuri Castle, and immediately pretended to be Boyi!

    ??~~

    ?Hearing the noise, the eunuch serving him, Jilaixi, hurried in to check.

    "Your Majesty, why don't you sleep a little longer?" What Zilaixi said was a fairly standard Ming Dynasty Mandarin.

    "I can't sleep anymore." Shang Yuan sat up with his help and said, "As I get older, I sleep less."

    "Your Majesty is really joking, you are still in your prime." Jilaixi knelt down and helped him put on his shoes, and said with a smile.

    "You are already forty-two years old, and you are still in your prime?" Shang Yuan supported his shoulders and stood up slowly, saying, "My body is not as good as before. It has only been a month since I went on this expedition, and I feel like my whole body is falling apart."

    "Isn't your Majesty joking? After a month of fighting, even a young man will be exhausted." Zilaixi greeted, and the palace servants waiting outside filed in with basins and sanitary ware to serve King Shang Yuan to wash himself.  .

    "Hurry back and take a rest. Your Majesty will be in full swing again." Jilaixi skillfully helped him put the strands of hair on his head, while comforting him with a smile.  In fact, the old eunuch knew in his heart that King Shang Yuan's health was indeed worse than before. This time he refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on fighting in person, which showed signs of illness due to overwork.

    ¡®Fortunately, the teacher has now returned to the court.  ¡¯ Thinking of this, Ziraixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

    "If you put it this way, Gu really feels like he's returning home." King Shang Yuan's expression brightened and he said, "Let's have a cup of Awamori to refresh ourselves!"

    "Uh, just one drink?" King Shang Yuan suffered from severe alcohol bloating. Before his arrival, the princess repeatedly asked him not to drink.  But what is Jiraiki?  Dare you stop the king from drinking?  It would be Amitabha who could make him drink less.

    "Sure, I'll listen to you." However, Shang Yuan was in a good mood today, so he did as he pleased.

    Soon, the palace attendants brought a square table made of Korean wood and inlaid with gold, with an exquisite breakfast spread on the table.

    In addition to eighteen kinds of freshly baked snacks, there are also hairy crab and bird's nest cooked with pine nuts, black beans, eggs, and ham; shark's fin cooked with shrimps and mushrooms; and steamed quail with matsutake, chicken skin, ham,  Sea cucumbers with dried bamboo shoots as auxiliary ingredients; and soup stewed with red scallops and Ganoderma lucidum.

    All the food is served on gold tableware with exquisite patterns, and the presentation is very elegant.

    And the pair of rhinoceros horn chopsticks presented by Jilaixi are even more valuable than ivory chopsticks and gold chopsticks, and it is said that they can also be used to test for poison.

    Ryukyu made a lot of money from the entrepot trade, and received endless rewards from the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, the royal family was very particular about their food and clothing expenses.  Even when going on an expedition, everything from ingredients to cooking to tableware must be strictly followed, and no carelessness is allowed.

    This is still breakfast. If it is lunch or dinner, there will be eighteen hot dishes

    But King Shang Ning¡¯s eyes were all on the ¡®Jia Ping¡¯ that Jiraixi held out.  In fact, it is just a large glass bottle. Ryukyu has naturally been exposed to this kind of imported product for a long time, but it is still expensive. It is used as a special wine vessel for the royal family to hold Awamori wine for more than a hundred years.

    "Fill it up." Seeing Jilaixi pouring a cup into the porcelain cup, he couldn't wait to pick it up and drink it.  He ate some shark fin to go with the wine. After finishing the glass of wine, he also finished his breakfast.

    And almost no one touched the table of expensive dishes.

    ??~~

    After breakfast, the princes, ministers, and scholar-bureaucrats lined up outside the tent to wait.

    Shang Yuan dressed up neatly and slowly walked out of the tent with Zilaixi's support.

    It is said that a superior person has a special ability, that is, no matter how tired and haggard he is behind others, he will immediately become a hundred times more energetic when he is in front of others.

    King Shangyuan has such ability.

    When he appeared in front of the courtiers wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, long body armor, and a Dinghai sword hanging from his waist, he was as steady as Mount Tai, standing tall as a mountain, showing his royal demeanor.

    "The king is a thousand years old!" The ministers quickly knelt down to pay their respects to the king.

    "Get your life together." Shang Yuan nodded slightly and asked Ma Deshun, the law officer in charge of commanding the troops: "Have the soldiers assembled yet?"

    "Go back to your Majesty, the army has been assembled and all the ships are ready. We just need to listen to the Holy Instructions of your Majesty before boarding the ship and setting off." Ma Deshun replied hurriedly.

    "Okay, not bad." Shang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, holding his hand on the hilt of his sword and smiling at the ministers: "You are all ready to return home, right?"

    "Wherever the king is, that's our hometown" The ministers hurriedly offered their flattery.

    "Hahaha, don't do this." King Shang Yuan walked out of the central military camp and laughed loudly: "Let's go, don't be in a hurry, the soldiers can't wait any longer."

    By the time the ministers surrounded King Shang Yuan and came out, three thousand Ryukyu soldiers wearing red cloth square hats, blue cloth uniforms and wooden clogs had been waiting for a long time.

    In fact, after the consumption of this battle, the number of Ryukyu soldiers brought by King Shangyuan was less than 3,000.  But he also forcibly recruited several hundred young men from the surrendered local natives to add to the three thousand royal soldiers.  In this way, you can create the illusion that your side has no losses and increase your momentum.  Furthermore, it can also weaken the local indigenous power.

    Killing two birds with one stone is extremely wise!

    King Shang Yuan praised himself secretly, then ordered the soldiers who were kneeling to greet him to stand up, and then gave them a long victory speech mainly to brag.  It wasn't until he was so thirsty and speechless that he could no longer continue, that he still ordered his teachers to return to court!

    The soldiers cheered loudly, not knowing whether they were happy to go home or happy to no longer have to listen to his nagging.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)sp;In fact, after this battle, the number of Ryukyu soldiers brought by King Shang Yuan was less than 3,000.  But he also forcibly recruited several hundred young men from the surrendered local natives to add to the three thousand royal soldiers.  In this way, you can create the illusion that your side has no losses and increase your momentum.  Furthermore, it can also weaken the local indigenous power.
