The ship carrying the Ryukyu nobles could never reach the shore.
Three Chinese military transport ships slowly sailed south from the west coast of Ryukyu Island. That night, on the sea between Ie Island and Minna Island on the west coast of Ryukyu Island, they suddenly caught fire at the same time. Then, amid the cries for help from all the royal family members and nobles who were killed, sink.
Before the incident, the Ryukyu royal family members on board suddenly discovered that all Chinese crew members had disappeared. The three ships suddenly lost all their crew members in the dark night. This caused a huge panic among everyone. Not long after, the fire started from the lowest level of the three ships. It started to catch fire and quickly engulfed the entire ship.
Zeng Xiren, the Ryukyu supervisor of the Chinese company's security department, stood with his arms akimbo on a beach on the south coast of Ie Island, ten miles away. He looked at the faint fire in the distance and said sternly to the dozens of security agents gathered around him: "Quickly .Immediately row a small boat to find out what is going on. All small boats responsible for search missions are ready to set off. Pay attention. If you encounter survivors, shoot them without mercy."
On the coast of Sesoko Island, five miles east of the burning ship, the sailors of the burning ship, rowing more than a dozen lifeboats, boarded the three-masted warship of Fan Tao, deputy commander of the Navy. The captain of the special battalion detachment disguised as sailors Reported to Fan Tao: "The entire ship is on fire. All fire starters have been arranged. The fire will soon burn through the entire ship."
Fan Tao nodded and ordered in a low voice: "All ships are ready. When the firelight on the sea is no longer visible, quickly deploy a long snake formation and set off. Thoroughly search the three islands of Ie Island, Minna Island, and Sesoko Island." All water surfaces in between. No suspicious objects are allowed to pass."
Soon, twenty Chinese naval vessels and more than ten small boats belonging to the Ministry of Security began to conduct a large-scale search of the waters between the three islands.
The ruling elites of the Ryukyu Kingdom were completely unprepared for the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants who came to rescue them. In just one night, a huge void appeared in the upper-class ruling class of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Chen Zhongji had arranged it in advance according to Yin Feng's plan. He destroyed everything. While wiping out most of the ruling class of the Ryukyu Kingdom, he sent Xie Yuanshui and his troops who had been fighting side by side with the Chinese army to the front line.
The day after the Shimadzu army returned the prisoners, Chen Zhongji used the excuse that the Shimazu family had not handed over the Ryukyu king. After a day's pause, he restarted the fire attack on Nakijin Castle. Xie Yuanshui's Ryukyu Royal Guards were sent to attack the commanding heights south of the city. .But at the last moment, the artillery fire covered by the Chinese Army stopped. The following Chinese Army reinforcements also stopped at the foot of the mountain. As a result, Xie Yuanshui and his 200 men, who had no support, almost all died on the hilltop south of the city.
Just two days ago, Chen Zhongji tentatively contacted Xie Yuanshui and proposed the idea of taking the opportunity to let the Chinese take power in the Ryukyu Kingdom. However, Xie Yuanshui, who was known as a loyal minister, did not agree. His family was forced to move to Ryukyu Island by Ming Chengzu. Now he I already consider myself a Ryukyu native. I have no thought of betraying the King of Ryukyu.
Chen Zhongji sighed and had to watch Xie Yuanshui embark on the road of no return.
This kind of treacherous behavior was very unacceptable to him. If it weren't for his loyalty and gratitude to Yin Feng, he would have almost given up. That day, he announced the news: The Ryukyu royal family and nobles' ships were on Ie Island. The sea area to the south was attacked by Japanese pirates. All of them were killed by the Japanese pirates Shimazu family.
Yan Siqi finally realized that something was not right. Personnel from the Military Intelligence Department and the Company Security Department suddenly appeared at his defense line in the morning. They searched everywhere for liaison personnel stationed by the Ryukyu Army. They arrested a large number of Ryukyu people in the name of Japanese pirate spies and spies.
At the same time, in Shuri, the Chinese army in Naha also began to conduct a large-scale purge at the garrison.
On the day when the operation to exterminate the Ryukyu ruling class began, Yan Siqi discovered that Chen Zhongji, Zhang Hai and others were mobilizing troops; the Chinese army camp surrounded the Ryukyu army camp. The Ryukyu army happened to be sandwiched between Nakijin Castle and the Chinese army camp. During the camp, a few days later, he heard the news that the Ryukyu nobles were attacked by Japanese pirates at sea and all drowned; needless to say, Zhu Nv Shuihuaying was also among the dead.
The original generals of the Ryukyu Royal Guards have all sunk to the bottom of the sea along with the three transport ships. After Xie Yuanshui died in the battle, the elite of the Guards no longer had capable commanders. Moreover, they learned that the ruler of the country had disappeared overnight. .They were shocked and completely at a loss. With no leader, the defense of Shuri, Naha, Urasoe and other cities fell completely into the control of the Chinese Army. These places were originally under the control of the Chinese Army. Now the Chinese Army Thousands of Chinese descendants in Kume Village were all armed, and a new royal guard was formed with them as the main force. Taking advantage of the fact that most of the nobles and lords died at sea, a power vacuum appeared on the entire island. Chinese troops came forward to take control. Most areas of Ryukyu Island.
Yan Siqi watched the drastic changes in the situation in Ryukyu with dazzled eyes. He couldn't help but take a breath: all these actions were actually to use the hands of the Japanese to wipe out the upper class of Ryukyu's ruling class. It was just that the last step was done by the Chinese army. He was very suspicious. It was about to be confirmed; one night, Zhu Nv Shuihuaying actually appeared in his military camp alive. It turned out that Shuihuaying was born on the seaside and was good at water-based skills. During the implementation of the plan to exterminate all Ryukyu nobles, everyone ignored her existence. As a result, her existence was ignored. She escaped by swimming.
Yan Siqi looked at the helpless and frightened girl. When he was at a loss, people from the Military Intelligence Department, the Military Supervision Department, and the Company Security Department had already come to the door. Yin Feng had the strictest control over the military discipline of the student army. The supervision of the student army The army was directly dispatched by the Ministry of Defense and Supervision. The strict military discipline and regulations of the Chinese Army prevented anyone from easily bending the law for personal gain; an unidentified Ryukyu woman entered Yan Siqi's room late at night. This was enough for the Military Intelligence Department to send personnel to investigate. After a while, the agents of the Military Intelligence Department quickly determined the identity of the woman and immediately notified Zeng Xiren and Chen Zhongji.
In fact, Shui Huaying is still vague about what happened that night; because at that time, both Zeng Xiren's security agent and Fan Tao's sailors were flying the Japanese pirate Shimazu family's cross-pattern flag. But in Yan Siqi's heart Understand: The Shimazu family's navy has been completely destroyed. It is impossible for them to still have the strength to attack the Chinese ships on the northern coast of Ryukyu Island.
He stood at the door blocking the agents from the Military Intelligence Department and the Security Department. Although he was unarmed, his face was full of black anger. He first said to the brothers in his guard: "Go away. It's none of your business." Then he said coldly. Di said to the agents who gathered around holding torches: "Go and call Ji Zai. I want to talk to him."
Zeng Xiren squeezed over from behind the crowd. He looked Yan Siqi up and down and handed him a document coldly: "Let's take a look. The ship owner's handwritten order authorizes Ji Zai to handle everything on Ryukyu Island."
Yan Siqi shook his head: "I know. I just want to say a few words to Chen Zhongji."
Zeng Xiren sighed: "You and Ji Zai are both disciples of the captain. Everyone knows this. I won't say anything more. You must hand over the girl in the house."
Yan Siqi said coldly: "After handing it over."
"You have nothing to do with this. Brother Zhenquan, this is a major matter for the ship owner. You really want to go against the ship owner."
Yan Siqi closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "I have never been disloyal to the ship owner. I just suspect that you are acting without authorization and damaging the ship owner's reputation for benevolence and justice."
Chen Zhongji suddenly arrived at the Yuntiangang military camp. He came to Yan Siqi's residence alone. With a look of shame on his face, he first evacuated all the people who surrounded Yan Siqi's residence. Then he walked to Yan Siqi's door and patted his shoulder heavily. Said: "Zhenquan, the ship owner didn't know about this. Even if he knew, we still have to bear the responsibility. Do you understand?"
Yan Siqi shook his head in pain: "Why. Why do you do this?"
Chen Zhongji smiled wryly and nodded: "Go and ask the ship owner. I am only following the order. But I believe the ship owner is right to do so. Ryukyu Island is now the territory of our China Company. Taiwan Island will never be affected again. There's a threat from the north. Maybe. That's why the ship wants to do this."
Yan Siqi sighed: "So...this woman..."
Chen Zhongji waved his hand: "Forget it. You can take her to Satsuma Kagoshima and ask the ship owner for mercy. Maybe... remember. Before the matter is resolved, this girl is not allowed to have contact with anyone. Do you understand?"
Five days later, Nakijin Castle was once again swept away by fire. The remaining 800 troops of the Shimazu family troops under Yuki Kayama surrendered. The Ryukyu Regiment of the Chinese Army under Chen Zhongki executed Yuki Kayama on the beach of Yuntian Port: because of Shimazu Before the fall of Nakijin Castle, the army killed King Shangning, the leader of Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom.
Except for the eighteen-year-old Crown Prince Shang Feng, who is now firmly controlled by the Chinese, there are no members of the Shang family alive on Ryukyu Island.
…
Kagoshima in the southern part of Kyushu Island, Japan. In the Shimadzu Home Furnishing City Tsurumaru Castle, Yan Siqi faced Yin Feng and continued to vent his worries: "...Now people on Ryukyu Island are panicked. There are Ryukyu people and Chinese people everywhere. The company's people are against it. Why are you doing this? Shipowner, as long as we control Ryukyu's ports and trade and station troops at Naha Port to monitor, the Ryukyu people will be honest and obedient..."
"How do you know they will be obedient?" Yin Feng asked in reply: "The Ryukyu royal family is between China and Japan. It has always been on two sides and has its feet on two boats. Our Chinese company's army is just a private property subordinate to the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. We are armed. The Ryukyu royal family has always regarded the imperial court as orthodox and will not bow to us at all. Once the threat of Japanese pirates is resolved, they will try their best to drive us away. Moreover, as long as the Ryukyu tribute envoy arrives and files a complaint with the court. Our Taiwanese and Chinese companies will be punished by the court and get into countless troubles."
Yan Siqi is not an impulsive man with a simple mind. But he has less overall concept than Chen Zhongji, and he is still at a relatively innocent age. Yin Feng's words immediately calmed him down. He lowered his head and sighed.
Yin Feng shook his head secretly: In fact, he was very hesitant when he decided to kill the Ryukyu nobles. This kind of move was inconsistent with his nature. In fact, it was Lin Xiao and Zeng Rui who first proposed it. But in the end Yin Feng decided to do it. We chose Chen Zhongji, who knew how to adapt best, to implement it. He took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile: "How is that girl?"
"She doesn't seem to know what's going on yet, but she's already starting to have doubts." Yan Siqi lowered his head and said.
"There is only one Crown Prince left in the Shang family. I have decided to let him be the nominal king. From now on, I will let my father-in-law Zeng Yue handle matters such as paying tribute to the court and requesting canonization. All the officials of the royal family will be handled by me, an overseas Chinese." The court personnel were asked to select reliable people from the local Chinese. Therefore, for a period of time, the court will not know that the Ryukyu Kingdom is finished. We are the ones who actually control the Ryukyu Kingdom." Yin Feng paused. He looked at Yan Siqi seriously: "The eldest lady's personal maid, Rui'er, has been adopted by me as my adopted sister. I plan to betroth Rui'er to you, that Ryukyu girl, in accordance with the madam's last wish. It's up to you."
Yan Siqi stupidly walked out of Yin Feng's residence and walked slowly back to the student army camp.
According to the regulations of the Chinese Army, female relatives are not allowed in the military camp. Therefore, Mizukage was arranged to live in a servant's residence in Tsurumaru Castle, guarded by two of Yan Siqi's personal subordinates.
Yan Siqi hesitated for a long time at the gate of the military camp. He lingered for a long time. Unlike Chen Zhongji, he was an orphan rescued by Yin Feng. He obeyed Yin Feng completely and unconditionally. Yan Siqi was the earliest admirer of Yin Feng. Later, by chance, he became Yin Feng's vassal. Next. He still retains his simple integrity and loyalty. It is really difficult for him to deal with a girl like Shui Huaying. Yin Feng has noticed this from Yan Siqi's demeanor. After he left . couldn’t help but sigh.
Zeng Rui, the director of the Military Supervision Department, suddenly appeared. He said carelessly: "Brother-in-law, a real man can't be timid in doing things. Yan Zhenquan is too useless. Let's let the Security Department take action."
Yin Feng was also hesitating in his heart: after all, his background as a time traveler made him aware of the darkness of politics; but his previous experience as a reporter made him overflowing with a sense of justice. Facing the only survivor of the plan to exterminate the Ryukyu nobles, Zhu When Nv Shui Hua Ying appeared, Yin Feng and Yan Siqi were also caught in the battle between heaven and man.
Zeng Rui saw that Yin Feng's face was uncertain. He knew that he was still hesitating. He smiled lightly and said, "Brother-in-law, this is the territory of the Japanese pirates. If the water flower shadow falls into the hands of the Japanese pirates, it will be very detrimental to us."
When the Japanese pirates were mentioned, Yin Feng's spirit was lifted: "Yes. We must eradicate the roots. When we deal with the Ryukyu people, the actual goal is to completely cut off the Japanese pirates' greed for Ryukyu. Okay. Just do it."
Watching Zeng Rui walk out of the yard quickly, Yin Feng sighed.
There are not many people who know the details of the Ryukyu incident. Zeng Rui is one of them. Zeng Rui is very happy. He feels that he has seen a big change in Yin Feng: Captain Yin is changing from a simple hero who only relies on popularity to maintain his status. The transformation of a hero who understands the darkness of politics.
