Chapter 1,046 The Lord of Hihou
"Is the princess worried about something?" Wu Nian felt pity when he saw this and asked.
"I'm worried about the people of Ryukyu." Kyogoku Yuki nodded slightly, her worry getting stronger. "The military discipline of the Fuso people is different because of their different daimyo."
"During migration, all kinds of dirty things will definitely happen."
"People who have subjugated their country are like meat on the chopping board, they can only be slaughtered by others."
Saying that, Kyogoku Yuki's eyes turned red, she took out the red folding fan from her waist, opened it, covered her beautiful face, and began to cry.
Wu Nian was speechless and could only sigh quietly.
The country is subjugated.
This feeling is indeed unpleasant.
"Don't worry, princess. Ryukyu will be restored soon. When the time comes, the people will be moved back." Wu Nian comforted him.
"Yeah." Kyogoku Yuki said softly.

Kumamoto.
It is also called the Higo Country, also known as the Land of Fire. It has mountains in the north and plains in the south.
It is currently the territory of the Kumamoto family. The current family governor is Kumamoto Neiji, and the official position is Higomori. That is, the guardian of the country.
It has 14 counties under its jurisdiction, with a stone height of 310,000 stones.
After Toyotomi Daikichi led the Fuso Army to land in Kyushu, he sent troops to Ryukyu and garrisoned in Nagasaki. He led part of the main force of Toyotomi's army to Kumamoto Castle.
Kumamoto Castle has been the residence of the Kumamoto family for generations, but General Toyotomi naturally has special privileges.
Toyotomi Daikichi led the daimyo and his retainers to the castle tower.
After arriving at his seat and sitting cross-legged, Toyotomi Daikichi rubbed his feet, showing a look of helplessness, and said, "Time is not forgiving. A long march like this is a bit uncomfortable for my old bones."
"Hehehe." The famous ministers and retainers did not dare to answer the question, so they laughed.
"That's right, that's right. Everyone, this is the territory of the Kumamoto family. You must restrain your samurai and soldiers not to disturb the people."
Toyotomi Daikichi showed a serious look, raised his head and said to everyone.
"Yes." Everyone bent down and bowed in response.
"Kageju, what's the situation of the Han army now?" Toyotomi Daikichi nodded, then turned to ask Katakura Kageju.
"Reporting to General, the Han army is currently entrenched in Jeju Island and there is no movement." Katakura Keju bent down and replied.
"Did the Han army fake a shot to trick us?" A daimyo couldn't help but frown and asked.
"No. Although there is no movement from the Han army, military supplies are constantly being transported to Jeju Island. Countless manpower and material resources have been spent. This is no joke. The current silence can only be accumulating strength and waiting for the thunder.
hit."
Having said this, Katakura Kageju's face was extremely serious and he said in a deep voice: "My lords, please don't be careless. This Liaodong Tiger is definitely serious this time."
"Yes. Remember Kageju's words. This time is no small matter." Toyotomi Daikichi pulled out the folding fan from his waist, pointed at everyone, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Everyone bowed and saluted.
"Da da da." A man with a minor surname walked in quickly from the outside, knelt on one knee and said: "Sir General. The envoy of the King of Han, Chen Kun, who claims to be a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, came to Kumamoto Castle and asked to see the general."
Everyone looked surprised.
Toyotomi Daikichi narrowed his eyes and said, "Wu Nian has put up such a big fight, but he still wants to negotiate with me?"
"Jing Shi, what rank is the doctor?"
"Report to the General. In Chu and Han, the rank of doctor is the fifth rank. However, although the rank is very low, the power is very important. It can be said that ministers and ministers are tea drinkers. It is the officials like the doctor who really do the work."
There are countless treasures in Katakura scenery, please report them.
"Hmm. That's pretty weighty. Invite him in." Toyotomi Daikichi nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his face as he said.
"Yes." I responded, turned around and went down. Not long after, Wu Nian's envoy Chen Kun, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, walked in from outside.
He is seven feet tall, has a handsome face, and has an outstanding temperament. He is dressed in the official uniform of a doctor and wears a black gauze hat on his head, and he is very well-mannered.
All the big names present and Toyotomi's retainers showed a fierce look and stared at Chen Kun covetously.
Chen Kun was not afraid, and came to Toyotomi Daikichi with neither humility nor arrogance. He bent down and saluted: "Chen Kun, the envoy of the King of Han and the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, pays homage to the great lord Fuso, His Highness Toyotomi."
There are retainers who are proficient in Chinese to translate.
"Stop your fierce expressions, it's not interesting." Toyotomi Daikichi waved his hand, and then said calmly: "Please sit down."
"Thank you for sitting down." Chen Kun had a certain understanding of Fuso etiquette, so he calmly sat cross-legged in front of Toyotomi Daikichi.
The great names and retainers were like loyal dogs, they immediately restrained their fierce glare and stopped showing their teeth.
"It's really impressive. It has only been a few years since the Toyotomi family conquered Fuso? But their position is already so stable." Chen Kun was secretly shocked.
"Please tell me directly what purpose the King of Han has for sending you here," Toyotomi Daikichi said.
"The King of Han sent 200,000 elite soldiers to confront the general across the sea. The war is about to break out. I wonder what the general feels?" Chen Kun did not answer, but raised his head and asked with burning eyes.
"You raise your head too high," a retainer scolded.
"It doesn't matter." Toyotomi Daikichi waved his hand and said. Then he replied: "What else can I think about it? The soldiers will stop it, and the water will cover it up."
"Excuse me. Can the general stop us? Our Han army stretches across the northeast. We are stronger than the Mongolians, but we were defeated. In the Battle of Huanglong, I, Your Majesty King Jianwu, killed a prince and ten generals of ten thousand households."
"Invincible."
Chen Kun raised his head with a very proud expression, but his eyes were fierce, like a cold beast, staring at Toyotomi Daiki.
"The Han army is strong. But Fusang has the sea as a barrier. In terms of naval strength, we are only slightly stronger than the Han. Moreover, the Han army used Goguryeo soldiers this time. Their combat effectiveness and equipment are not as good as those of the Han soldiers."
"Even if you land in Fuso, what can you do to us?"
"It's just a plate of dumplings."
Higo kept the name of Kumamoto, and Neji Kumamoto sneered with his eyes wide open.
However, Toyotomi Daikichi smiled and said, "If Wu Nian wants to talk to me about peace, just say so, why bother beating around the bush?"
"General, you are wise." Chen Kun clasped his hands and complimented, and then said: "My king keeps his word and keeps his promise."
"I received the favor of the Higashino family, so I raised an army to help Ryukyu recover."
"The purpose is just this. There is no intention to be hostile to the general. As long as the general can return the relocated Ryukyu people, Fuso troops will withdraw from Ryukyu. After Ryukyu is restored, my king will immediately withdraw his troops and will never break his promise."
"If we fight together, both countries will suffer heavy casualties."
"As long as the general retreats, the war can be eliminated invisible. Why not? General, please think again."
