Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Off the coast of Amami Bay, dozens of speedboats gathered in the outer blockade, like stars in the night sky, scattered on the blue-black sea.

    The Japanese-Japanese Warship, like stars holding the moon in front of the moon, looks more and more like a giant.

    This battleship with hull number 101 had to stay away from the warship because it became Mr. Zhao's ship. It could only listen to people firing guns outside the fjord.

    There was a huge parasol on the stern balcony. Zhao Hao was sitting on a lounge chair, looking at the mouth of the fjord with a telescope, and said to Jin Ke, who was sitting upright beside him: "Actually, this battle could have been avoided."

    "Yes." Jin Ke said with the same serious expression as always: "It's a pity that they didn't take our warning seriously."

    "This is how the islanders think." Zhao Hao put down the telescope, took a sip of soda and said, "Sit in a well and look at the sky, closing yourself off. Seeing small profits and forgetting righteousness, fearing power but not being ethical, the gambler's mentality is too serious."

    ¡°It¡¯s a bit like the Japanese.¡± Jin Ke chuckled.

    "It's all the same. Living on an island is a small place, surrounded by the ocean, with limited knowledge and limited development space. If coupled with frequent disasters, it is easy to feel suffocated. So I often don't take my own life seriously, of course.  Not to mention taking other people's lives seriously." Zhao Hao said lightly: "Also, it is easy to have an inexplicable sense of superiority, always thinking of proving one's strength by defeating the strong. After being taught a lesson, it is easy to transform into  Feeling of inferiority can only gain security by obeying the stronger.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, the Ryukyu people gained a strong sense of security by surrendering to the Ming Dynasty.¡± Jin Ke nodded in agreement.

    "That's true. But the imperial court was too kind to them. It spread rain and dew for so long that they forgot that the rain would be mixed with thunder." Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "Over the years, Ryukyu has long regarded the Ming Dynasty as a success.  Wipe it, wipe it!"

    "What does Kaizi mean?" Jin Ke asked in confusion.

    "It's just a mistake." Zhao Hao said angrily: "Of course, you can't blame others entirely. Who made our Emperor Taizu so vain that he set up the bullshit tribute rules of 'the thickest is the thinest'? It's not easy for others to find loopholes."  Erzuan? The imperial court stipulates that Ryukyu pays tribute every two years, but they come here every year, sometimes twice a year. Do you really miss your father that much? Maybe you miss your father's money!"

    "No wonder the imperial court issued a decree many years ago, telling them not to pay tribute too frequently and not to have more than a hundred members in the envoy, but they just didn't listen and still came with great enthusiasm." Jin Ke showed a look of surprise.

    "Of course they are working hard. The tributes they bring can be exchanged for five to ten times the reward of the imperial court. If it were me, I could pay tribute until the imperial court goes bankrupt." Zhao Hao laughed and said: "No wonder Liu Daxia's gang  You guys will regard the Western Sea as a scourge. Every time you bring back a bunch of small countries that pay tribute, you can empty out the treasury."

    "This phenomenon must be changed. If the imperial court is not allowed to benefit from the tribute, the imperial court will never change its attitude towards overseas countries." Jin Ke nodded.

    "This is on point." Zhao Hao said with a smile: "But what about this kind of thing? If the court takes the initiative to bring it up, it will definitely be embarrassing. I plan to let the King of Ryukyu take the lead So from all angles, we have to do it well  Just deal with them."

    As he was talking, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and Ma Yinglong came up to report that King Shang Yuan had surrendered and was on his way on the 103 ship.

    "Hahaha, let's talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Zhao Hao raised his hands and smiled: "It seems that I have to invite you to this dinner. Unfortunately, there is nothing to entertain on this ocean."

    This is not polite. In this hot weather in July, no fresh ingredients can be preserved.  The fleet and the task force heading south have been at sea for more than ten days. In addition to the fresh fish caught in the nets, the bean sprouts grown in the cabin, and the green vegetables grown in the free space on the deck, they mainly rely on canned meat, bacon, and noodles with convenient seasonings.  , living on all kinds of pickles.

    "No matter how good the food is, he won't be able to taste it." Jin Ke comforted him with a smile.

    "That's true. I hope his attention will not be on the food." Mr. Zhao smiled and said: "Otherwise, I will have to talk about a few topics that will make him unable to swallow."

    At dusk, Ship 103 arrived near the Zhenwo.  Captain Rong Sheng personally took King Shang Yuan to the Young Master's flagship in a small boat.

    King Shangyuan only brought two attendants, one was the eunuch Zilaixi, and the other was the third minister Weng Shouxiang.  The rest of the royal guards are not allowed to follow

    When the three of them were pulled up and down by the police officers and climbed onto the Japanese-style anti-Japanese warship along the climbing net, they saw a young and excessively handsome boy in brocade robes, surrounded by a group of senior police officers.  , stood on the poop and looked at them with a smile.

    "Are you the King of Zhongshan?" Zhao Hao asked loudly, holding the railing with both hands.

    "Correct""Zheng Hao." Zhao Hao is no stranger to this name, because in the thirty-seventh year of Wanli, when the Satsuma clan invaded Ryukyu, this person was a pro-Ming faction who insisted on resisting.  After being captured, he sternly refused and scolded the Shimazu family in every possible way to persuade him to surrender. Finally, the angry Shimazu family ordered him to be cooked alive.

    There is no doubt that this is a tough guy, and a tough guy worth fighting for.

    Zhao Hao kept a calm expression on his face and said to Weng Shouxiang, "You continue."

    "Yes." Weng Shouxiang said in a trembling voice: "Quinzi heard that Zheng Hao used his status to make friends with the people at the Jiangnan Commercial Station and asked them to act on his behalf in Beijing. He was preparing to make him a tributary envoy when he came to Beijing next time.  The imperial court designated him as the general secretary, and from then on he had a monopoly on all dealings with the Celestial Empire. Quanzi was worried that if he really succeeded in doing this, he would be under his control forever. As a result, he was confused for a while, so he asked for help from outsiders, thinking  Let them cause trouble at Naha Port and destroy the relationship between Zheng Zou and Jiangnan Commercial Station. It would be better if he can lose his official position."

    "Are they Japanese?" Mr. Zhao asked coldly.

    "Yes." Weng Shouxiang was excited. It turned out that this young master had already investigated clearly (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
