Chapter 94 Recover Ryukyu
When the land in southern Liaoning began to try to implement simplified Chinese characters and pinyin, a joint fleet consisting of the Victory, two frigates, two supply ships and four merchant ships crossed the waters of Goryeo and Japan, sailing all the way to the southeast, and finally arrived at the Ryukyu Kingdom, a corner of the peaceful area in a few days.
At this time, the Ryukyu Kingdom was invaded by the Japanese Satsuma Ferry about twenty years ago and was looted by the Satsuma Ferry. On the one hand, the Ryukyu Kingdom wanted to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, it wanted to pay tribute to the shogunate generals. At this time, the Ryukyu Kingdom almost became a vassal of the Satsuma Ferry, and even the eighth king of the second Shang Dynasty of the Ryukyu Kingdom, King Shangfeng, was once taken hostage to the Satsuma Ferry.
It can be seen that the Shimazu family in the Satsuma family of Kyushu Island is indeed one of the most powerful daimyos on Kyushu Island. In fact, the Hibimae family is not weak either. However, before the Kuroshima family could summon all his subordinates, Chu Yun suddenly entered Saga City and destroyed it.
There are more than a dozen ships from the Satsuma tribe in Japan in Nahabo Port in Ryukyu Kingdom.
The Satsuma family general Kazuo Kamayama stood above the port and felt a little sad. About twenty years ago, he was ordered to lead 3,000 samurai to attack the Ryukyu Kingdom and successfully included the Ryukyu Kingdom in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Satsuma Kingdom. Now he actually wants to hand over the achievements of that year to the general of the Ming Dynasty, so that he will not be heartbroken.
"General, why do you think the head of the family is afraid of the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army and wants to hand over these islands to them? We have been stationed here for many years and plundered a lot of good things from the Ryukyu Kingdom every year. It's so unpleasant to make them cheaper." A samurai complained to Karayama Kugao.
"The head of the family used the Ryukyu Kingdom to exchange the land of the Hideki Kingdom, and we will do it." Kazuo Kazuo followed Shimazu Tadao for decades and never disobeyed Shimazu Tadao's orders, even if he had to hand over the Ryukyu Kingdom tribute system that he had worked hard to maintain.
King Shangfeng of Ryukyu, led a group of officials from Ryukyu Kingdom to stay behind the people of Kuogao, Huashan, and others in fear and fear, and did not dare to say anything. They were afraid that the group of Japanese people would be killed by the crime.
When the fleet of the Fu Liao army appeared at Nababo Port, all the Shimazu family samurai gathered at Nababo Port were shocked! They had been stationed in Ryukyu Kingdom for a long time and knew nothing about the strength of the recently emerging Fu Liao army. The emergence of the Victory and the newly built frigate made them unbelievable. Looking at the huge hull of the Victory and the densely packed large-caliber artillery on the ship, and then looking at their dilapidated Guan Shi, they finally understood why the Shimazu family would voluntarily give up Ryukyu Kingdom and made it clear to Daming! It can even be said that the Ming Dynasty did not take the initiative to attack Ryukyu Kingdom, but was willing to exchange the territory of the Hoshimazu family with the Shimazu family, even if it would give the Shimazu family face!
Navy Captain Ella took a team of soldiers from the Victory, while the temporary acting fleet commander Deng Qianlong personally took over the Victory to prevent conflicts with the warriors stationed on Ryukyu Island. Because the fleet commander Nelson suddenly felt a chill, Deng Qianlong was temporarily commanded by the fleet, which was to give Deng Qianlong a chance to actually command the fleet.
When Kugao Kaori saw that the leader was a blond and blue-eyed female officer, he was immediately surprised. Could it be that even the Westerners were conquered by the Ming Dynasty?
"Hello, I am Aila, the captain of the Ming Dynasty's Liao army. I am here to receive the Ryukyu Kingdom from you at the order of the army leader." Aila saluted Huashan Jiugao.
The elderly Huashan Jiutaka saw Ella saluting, thinking it was a new ceremony in the Ming Dynasty, and also learned to pay a non-standard military salute.
Chen Dalang, who defected to the Restoration of Liao Army during the attack on the Feiqian vassal state, became a translator and translated Aila's words to Kugao Kawashan.
"I am the Satsuma Shimazu family, Kazuoka, Kazuoka, these are the bravest samurai of our Shimazu family. When I saw the Ming army today, I realized that the Ming Dynasty is still a noble country of the Celestial Empire. I am willing to hand over the Ryukyu Kingdom to you unconditionally according to the order of the head of the family." Kazuoka sighed.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Seeing that Kaora Kaora did not resist, Ella secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, there was no need to conflict with the Japanese fleet.
"Eighteen years ago, I led the Shimazu family samurai to conquer the Ryukyu Kingdom and counted their weapons. I found that the huge Ryukyu had only five hundred bows, three hundred guns, three hundred armor, and several swords and spears. At that time, I laughed at their weapons for being behind. Now when I saw the army of the Celestial Dynasty, I found how I was sitting in Guantian, wasn't it the same as the Ryukyu Kingdom at that time?" Before leaving, Huashan was still eager to look at the naval fleet of the Restoration Army.
Hundreds of Japanese warriors stationed in Ryukyu Kingdom showed envy and amazement, walked on their own ship to the pass through with great shock, and then set sail and left.
The king and officials of the Ryukyu Kingdom who were waiting aside were furiously waiting for him to see that the Japanese warriors who had been bullying him were so scared that they left in shame by the Ming army. Then they became excited again, and they could finally break away from the jurisdiction of Japan and return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty!
Look at the Ming Dynasty warship, which is several times larger than that of Japan's ships. Then look at the fact that there are so many things called "cannons" on the warship. It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty has not only not weakened, but has become stronger! At least this is what these Ryukyu people think.
"Your Majesty, should we take the initiative to show our kindness to the envoys of the Ming Dynasty?" At this time, except for the Ming navy, only Ryukyu officials were left in Nababo Port.
"This time, the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to rescue us from the water and fire, which is worth celebrating our tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year. However, our Ryukyu Kingdom has no treasures after being robbed by the Japanese for years. I really don't know how to repay the envoys of the Ming Dynasty this time." King Shangfeng of the Ryukyu king said to his ministers with some anxiety.
"The Ming Dynasty is a country with a vast land and abundant resources. What treasures are there? We just need to express our gratitude to the Ming Dynasty." A minister said.
"What you said is that the Ming Dynasty is a great country and will not care about our things."
King Shangfeng was in a good mood after he wanted to get happy, so he brought dozens of remaining officials from Ryukyu Kingdom to Aila and expressed his gratitude to Aila.
At this time, Ella and the translator Chen Dalang were a little confused. They couldn't understand the local dialect spoken by the Ryukyu Kingdom!
King Shangfeng and others quickly reacted. Fortunately, someone from Ryukyu had gone to study in the Ming Dynasty, so he could translate on both sides. Soon, Aila, Chen Dalang and others understood the gratitude of King Shangfeng and others.
"The envoy of the Ming Dynasty came to rescue our Ryukyu Kingdom thousands of miles away. As the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, I led all the civil and military officials to express our gratitude to the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. I wish the Ming Dynasty prosperity for generations and generations!" King Shangfeng said excitedly.
There are only a few civil and military people in the court? Chen Dalang couldn't help laughing. The appearance of the Ryukyu Kingdom is not as impressive as the Guodao family he used to work hard on.
Ella took out a piece of parchment from her arms: "My army commander has an order. King Shangfeng, the king of Ryukyu Kingdom, was incorruptible, which caused Ryukyu to be robbed by Japan and the people were living in poverty. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty decided to dismiss King Shangfeng. From then on, there was no king in the Ryukyu Islands. My Ming Dynasty established Ryukyu Guards here to enrich the people and receive the heavenly marshes forever!"
When the translator of Ryukyu Kingdom heard Ella's announcement, his face turned pale.
King Shangfeng saw that the translator's expression suddenly became wrong, and asked the translator in confusion: "What did the messenger of the Celestial Empire say?"
"The king... I... our Ryukyu Kingdom is destroyed..."
