As soon as Xie Jie mentioned the navy, Shang Yong left the table and bowed to Xiao Chongye. Xiao Chongye was taken aback and quickly stood up to return the salute: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"
Shangyong said sincerely: "Although Ryukyu is called 'the bridge of all nations' and is home to thousands of ships, its military strength is weak. If pirates and other powerful troops invade the territory, it may be difficult for the country to resist. Even if the imperial court can definitely quell the chaos in the future, it will definitely suffer an immediate loss." ." After saying these words, the expression of Weng Jisong, the Third Division Officer, changed greatly, while Zheng Jiong smiled broadly.
Xiao Chongye's heart moved, he glanced at Xie Jie, and when he saw the deputy envoy nodded, he encouraged Shang Yong and said: "Your Majesty, it's okay to speak directly."
Shang Yongdao: "The imperial court stationed troops in Japan, and it was only when you were personally with the king of the town that you realized the 'joy of being a king'. Although the country now has a clear sea and rivers, it has strong neighbors like Satsuma to the north and Luzon to the south. There are also pirates and Japanese pirates who invade the territory." This is not the case. If the imperial court can allow it, I would like to request a naval unit to be stationed at the imperial court. All the expenses for raising the army will be borne by the state. I wonder if the angel can report this unkind request to the imperial court?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the third officer Weng Jisong, who couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this proposal is unacceptable. Satsuma Shimazu is a loyal dog of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the imperial court has a piece of imperial edict, even if he has ten courages, he will not dare to invade our Ryukyu! The Western Yi of Luzon is still alive. If some of the offenders are revealed, the imperial court will kill them! Why bother with the imperial army coming from far away and stationed in the barren land of our country?"
Shang Yong was the second son of the late Zhongshan King Shang Yuan. Because his eldest brother was not born to a concubine, when Shang Yuan passed away, the Third Secretary Weng Shouxiang and others contacted the ministers and supported his succession at the age of fourteen.
The Ryukyu Sansi Officials were originally called "Ajidobe". They generally set up three people, titled "So-and-so Oyakata", to jointly manage and supervise the operation of state affairs. Later, they were renamed "Faji", and they were the head of the group of ministers. For decades, the three officials The chief executive is elected by more than 200 votes from the Ryukyu royal family and upper-level gentry. The Ong family, the Ma family, the Mao family's Chicheng family, and the Mao family's Toyomijo family take turns or jointly sit on the throne. Therefore, the four families and the royal Sho family are collectively called Ryukyu " The "Five Great Families" - the second Sho clan dynasty did not have the strength to say anything in Ryukyu, and its political system was ruled by the king and the nobles.
King Shoyuan's father, King Shoyuan, came to the throne thanks to the power of three ministers, including Mao Longyin and Weng Shouxiang. After he ascended the throne, all the power belonged to the Mao family and the Weng family. Ryukyu people called him the "mute king." When it came to Shoyong's generation, the power was given by Weng is in control.
In the seventh year of Wanli, Ma Liangbi, one of the three chief ministers, and Zheng Jiong, the general secretary, went to the Ming Dynasty to ask for the title of King of Zhongshan for Prince Shang Yong. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was undergoing reforms, and although Zhu Yijun had comprehensive plans for Japan, Luzon, and Annan, However, he did not consider the Ryukyu issue in depth. After learning the specific situation, he pointed out when meeting the tribute envoy: Japan and Ryukyu are both vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, but they both have the problem of "the king is not supportive and the powerful ministers are in charge." Your family It's unreasonable for King Shangyuan to be called the "mute king" - if the state canonizes a puppet, whose face is it a slap in the face?
Just as Ma Liangbi's face turned pale when he heard this, the deputy envoy Zheng Jiong keenly discovered the point. To be honest, the prince and general Xiang Ning have a lot of sense - my old Zheng family is not bad at all, why can't I do it? Where is the Third Division Officer?
After the two returned in defeat, Ma Liangbi was deprived of his position as the third division officer for failing to complete his mission, while Zheng Jiong embraced Shang Yong and became the most radical "king-respecting party" in Ryukyu. After Ling Yunyi's victory in the First World War in Japan , Zheng Jiong achieved a great leap from "Qin Yunshang" to the upper-class gentry, obtained the position of "Xie Ditou Qinfang", and at the same time became Shang Yong's favorite minister.
The imperial court canonized the King of Zhongshan this time, seven years later than in the original time and space, and the traveler effect has been fully fermented. For example, in the original time and space, Xiao Chongye came here on a ship with 1,500 yuan, and almost died in the sea. But in this time and space, he was riding
It is the Great Feng Ship, which is the 5,000-ton ship that Zhu Yijun promised Empress Dowager Rensheng to pick up Xu Guangqi. It applies the most advanced shipbuilding technology today. The Great Feng Ship is equipped with 60 cannons and more than 400 elite soldiers, plus supply ships.
and the troops on the frigate - more than enough to capture Shuri Castle.
Therefore, Weng Jisong was very courageous when he stood up to refute his king. Xie Jie, who was sitting opposite him, secretly admired him. Although Weng Jisong said that he was not willing to hand over power, but in all fairness, there is no normal country.
Inviting soldiers from other countries?
Moreover, Weng Jisong’s words seemed to be both praise and criticism, but he almost directly pointed out that the so-called Shimazu’s coveting of Amami Island was just a Ming Dynasty plan and a means to force Ryukyu to submit. After Ling Yunyi captured Japan, Li Chengliang succeeded him, and the major Japanese forces were
Earl Lee's arrangements were clear and clear, saying that Shimadzu was blatantly trying to expand his power to Ryukyu without Commander-in-Chief Li's permission. Who would believe it?
Although Ongi-Matsu claims to be pro-Japanese, as an important minister of Ryukyu, his position is still to try his best to maintain Ryukyu's independent status. The reason why he had conflicts with Satsuma Kunxu before, which caused dissatisfaction between Shounaga and the pro-China faction, was just that he had a clear understanding of Shimadzu's behavior.
, knowing that he could not still come to attack Ryukyu under the control of the Ming Dynasty.
However, all these efforts were wiped out by the king's betrayal. Weng Jisong looked at Zheng Jiong's proud face, and the blood in his chest rushed to the top of his head.
After he delivered a fierce speech against the king, he slumpedly took off the purple gold crown on his head, threw it into Zheng Jiong's arms, and said: "One day, the imperial court will be restored to its original status. Where will the country and the king be at that time?
"Two lines of tears came out of his eyes after saying this, and Weng Jisong turned around and left the main hall.
Shang Yong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this and looked up at Xiao Chongye. Seeing that the matter was settled, Xie Jie stood up and said: "King Zhongshan, don't worry, His Majesty has promised that Ryukyu will always be a vassal - as long as you, Shang, don't turn your elbows out.
It’s an iron-clad country!”
The next day, King Shoei issued a royal order, and Ongisatsu was demoted to the post of Urasoe Makiri Castle. Zheng Jiong was promoted to the third officer for his merits in protecting the country and became the first Chinese consul of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Twenty years after the original time and space, Zheng Zongcai became the most pro-China governor in the Ryukyu Kingdom. When Japan invaded Ryukyu, Zheng Zong led his army to resist vigorously, and the city was defeated and captured. Shimazu Tadahashi forced King Shonin and others to sign the "掎掟"
"Fifteen Articles", requiring Ryukyu to surrender to the Edo shogunate and accept the control of the Satsuma domain, was sternly rejected and scolded by Zheng Zou. The angry Shimazu Tadahashi ordered Zheng Zou to be killed, and he was executed by cooking.
At that time, the Ming government had no way to prevent Japan from occupying Ryukyu, and sending envoys to rebuke was the limit that Emperor Wanli could do. Although the Ming Dynasty had defeated Japan's invasion of Korea, its naval strength was not enough to bring order to Ryukyu. This was also the second reason.
More than a hundred years later, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 laid a deep foundation.
Of course, none of this has happened in this time and space. Xiao Chongye and Xie Jie finished handling the Ryukyu affairs, left Naha Port calmly, and took the large sealing fleet to the Luzon Islands - they will sail towards the bluest sea for the Chinese nation.
Hit the first big wave.
