I am the king of the dead

Chapter 412 Is there such a good thing?

"It's me!" A voice shouted from outside the door.

At this time, the mood of the trio in Shuri Castle, the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom, was extremely complicated. Yuan Bin opened the door, and a man walked into the wooden house, looked left and right, and said with a smile: " Such a fun thing, you don't call me."

The reason why Ryukyu is more worthy of filial sons than North Korea is because Ryukyu is more obedient.

Every time he was enshrined, the prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom would kneel down at the Huanhui Gate of Shuri Castle to welcome him.

In order to show the obedience of the Ryukyu Kingdom, there is a Shuri Gate outside the Huanhui Gate of the Ryukyu Kingdom. There is a Pearl Road outside this gate, which is specially responsible for welcoming angels.

The Ryukyu king will greet the envoys at the gate of Shouli above the Pearl Road, and then walk all the way to the gate of Huanhui to kneel down to accept the imperial decree.

The direction of the palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom is very strange. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which faces south and north, most of the buildings in the Ryukyu Kingdom face east and west. The reason for this is because the Ming Dynasty is on the west side.

The Ryukyu Kingdom is written with obedience from top to bottom.

Shi Heng set up all the east gates of Jing'an City as Tai'an Gate, which was left over from the Ryukyu Kingdom!People even face towards Daming.

In such a submissive situation, it was not difficult for a Han Chinese to sneak into the city.

It was Tang Xing who came, the third prince's grandfather, the extremely adventurous Commander Tang, who walked into the Duguan Bieyuan under the bell tower, and sat opposite Yue Qian.

"Why, you didn't call me for such a fun thing?" Tang Xing stretched out his hand and said angrily.

"How many troops did Commander Tang bring this time?" Yuan Bin asked curiously.

Tang Xing said dismissively: "I brought thousands of troops!"

Yuan Bin showed surprise, Tang Xing came, reinforcements will be there!Zhao Mingduan has it!
Yue Qian's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Where is it?"

Tang Xing patted his chest and said, "Here!"

"I alone can be a thousand troops!"

"Cut." The three of them understood Tang Xing's words now, he came by himself, probably on a merchant ship, and came by the wind.

It was not difficult for Tang Xing to find the three of them. The accents of the three northern Han people are still very rare in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Tang Xing looked at the disappointed trio and said helplessly: "Don't be so disappointed, I came here by myself. The Ryukyu Kingdom is a country that will not be conquered. I want to come with a large army. The group of people in the court tomorrow will be It's time to grind your teeth with His Majesty."

Yuan Bin said with a smile: "Your Majesty is your son-in-law, what else can I do to you?"

"Jing Taichao, relatives, it doesn't matter, only merit cards work!" Tang Xing has two first merit cards, one is for saving the people of Jiming Island, and the other is for defending Mizhou Shipyard. meritorious service.

Although Tang Xing's daughter, Tang Yunyan, gave birth to the third prince, Tang Xing was full of adventurous spirit. He couldn't stay in the capital at all. His Majesty ran out immediately after returning to the capital.

Tang Xing was the biggest free man in Ming Dynasty. He was a relative of the imperial family, but he was not restricted by the imperial clan and vassals, and there was no rule that the prince's son-in-law should not take matters into his own hands, so Tang Xing wandered all over the world.

"We are going to arrest Zhao Mingduan now. The four of us, plus ten Tiqi, will only have fourteen of us. How do we arrest him?" Yue Qian spread his hands.

Suddenly there was an aggressive knock on the door!
The four of them nervously grabbed the Xiuchun knife in their hands, Yue Qian frowned and asked in a low voice: "Who?!"

"Old monk Daoyuan, I have something important to meet with the angel." A small voice came from outside the door.

But the content changed the color of the four people in the room!

Angel, your identity is exposed!

The four of them grabbed the Xiuchun knife in their hands and opened the door. They kept thinking about how the four of them were exposed.

The three of Yue Qian looked at Tang Xing, he must have leaked the news!
Yue Qian opened the door, and there were two people standing outside the door, one was a monk, the other was a rich middle-aged man, actually wearing the king's crown.

Seeing that there were no weapons outside, they were also relieved.

"Shang Jinfu, the king of Ryukyu, pays homage to the envoy, and the abbot of Tianshou Temple, Shi Huaiji, the head of the Zhongshan Palace, pays homage to the envoy." The two entered the door, knelt down on the ground, and presented the letter cards in their hands.

Everyone in Yue Qian was dumbfounded, and hurriedly turned away and said: "I didn't follow the emperor's order to come here this time, please come up."

Shang Jinfu was obviously disappointed. He thought that the Ming court had heard the cry of the Ryukyu envoy, and finally realized that there was such a filial son overseas. Unfortunately, the envoy seemed to be on business, not delivering imperial edicts.

Yue Qian asked suspiciously: "How do you know that we are members of the imperial court?"

Huai Ji said with a smile: "The envoy doesn't know, the Ryukyu Kingdom pays tribute every year, and the four are important figures in the imperial court. The Ryukyu envoys have naturally seen four of them."

It was only then that Yue Qian realized that it was not surprising that the envoys of the Ryukyu Kingdom would recognize the four of them when they participated in some ceremonies such as banquets and parades.

"The angels are all from the north, and they are tall and big, especially the vicious name of Qing Si, commanded by Yuan. I have heard of it even when I was waiting in Ryukyu." Huai Ji explained again, and made a gesture on his face .

Yuan Bin had a not very deep scar on his face, from the root of his ear almost to the corner of his mouth, it was an arrow wound, which made him look even more fierce, it was injured when he was arresting his family of.

This is also an extremely important characteristic of Yuan Bin.

It was Yuan Bin who exposed their identities.

"Why are you here?" Yue Qian sat up straight and asked very solemnly.

Shang Jinfu worshiped again, bowed his head and said: "The Korean envoy said: China also treats our court envoys cheaply, and should not be compared with the Ryukyu envoys. I think it is a pity."

"My courtiers are all looking forward to the kingly land of Ming Dynasty."

"I also ask Daming to give officials to the army, Antu herdsmen."

Shang Jinfu took out a memorial and handed it to several angels.

This letter is very long. First of all, it expresses that Ryukyu was enlightened by etiquette because of the Ming Dynasty, but Ryukyu is a small country with few people, and its own governance is incompetent, and because of its excellent geographical location, it is a land of ten thousand countries. They can't control it anymore. .

It is hoped that Ming Dynasty will directly send bureaucrats and troops to Antu herdsmen.

The Ryukyu Kingdom is not poor. On the contrary, because of its special geographical location, there are many maritime merchants and it is very rich.

Shang Jinfu continued: "Cheng Fu, Wang Mao, Ye Xiyin and other scholars of the Ming Dynasty have contributed to the education and enlightenment of the Quartet. However, there are many people in my Ryukyu Kingdom, and there are very few sailors and soldiers. .”

"It's like a child with a daughter in a busy market."

Shang Jinfu elaborated on his helplessness. The gap between his two children, the eldest son Zhilu and the second son Bree, was getting wider and wider.

The supporters of the eldest son Zhilu are the pirates who abandoned the overseas Chinese of Daming, while the supporters of the second son Buri are the Japanese pirates of the Wa Kingdom.

They had already quarreled to the point where they were about to meet with each other, but Shang Jinfu couldn't persuade and restrain his two sons, let alone expel the pirates and the Japanese kingdom.

Shang Jinfu said very seriously: "I implore the heavenly kingdom to garrison troops, and I will serve them with rich salary."

"Such a big matter, I am not the one to decide." Yue Qian responded on behalf of many people.

The troops stationed in Ryukyu can only be decided by the court.

Tang Xing held the memorial and looked at it for a long time, and asked strangely: "Just doing this, isn't it almost the same as the land of the Ming Dynasty?"

Shang Jinfu said with surprise on his face: "Ah, is it really possible? Is there such a good thing?"

"Thanks to the steadfastness of the Celestial Empire, if Ryukyu is willing to be incorporated into the land of Ming Dynasty, the orphans can imitate the old story of Sulu King and East King Batu Gebahaci and move to Ming Dynasty."

"I was born as a royal guest, and died as a county sage."

There is a tomb of King Sulu in Daming. As the king, King Dong personally went to Daming in the 15th year of Yongle. Unfortunately, he died of illness and stayed in Dezhou, Shandong forever.

For this reason, Emperor Taizongwen issued an edict, gave him a posthumous title, and built a tomb.

The concubine of the East King of King Sulu brought her two children into Daming and lived in Dezhou for generations.

The four of Tang Xing looked at each other, feeling was waiting here!
Shang Jinfu can no longer control Ryukyu, and Huaiji should have failed in the political struggle, and finally cut off his hair and became a monk. This time, Huaiji came because he had the official seal of Ming Dynasty.

Huai Ji said with emotion: "I also invite a few angels to report on my behalf."

Ji Duo has been listening quietly, he is the most cautious person among these people, he suddenly asked: "Don't say it sooner, don't say it later, why do you say it at this time?"

"Angel Rongyuan." Huai Ji clasped his hands together and talked about the past.

As early as the Xuande period, after being given the surname Shang, the King of Ryukyu had this plan.

However, every time the envoys rushed to Daming and met the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, they were always told repeatedly not to make such requests, otherwise they would face the risk of cutting the tribute.

Because of the law of the ancestors, Ryukyu is a country that will not be conquered.

Therefore, their request has never been sent to the ears of Emperor Ming.

Huai Ji still believed in this kind of rhetoric at first, but as the invincible Daming Navy turned from its peak to its peak, this kind of farce appeared, and Huai Ji gradually understood.

In fact, it's not that the emperor refused. After all, Annan was pacified and established counties. Why can't they Ryukyu?
Yes, some people don't want to.

If there are prefectures and counties in Ryukyu, then it is necessary to maintain a huge navy in order to maintain the rule. For some people, a huge navy is "inconvenient for oneself and difficult to sleep and eat".

Their respectful invitations did not reach the emperor's ears at all.

Even during the Jingtai period, they paid tribute once a year, and their requests could not reach the heavens.

When they suddenly learned that the angel was coming, they couldn't care less about it. If Da Ming didn't care about it, the Ryukyu Kingdom would be doomed.

Shang Jinfu fell on the ground and said loudly: "I implore the angel, tell your father that the Japanese kingdom is a thief. They use the name of drifters to send troops to many islands in Ryukyu. There are many crimes, burning, killing and looting. .”

"Occupy my Ryukyu land, rape and humiliate Ryukyu women, and enslave my Ryukyu citizens. People's livelihood is withered, lonely and incompetent. I can only watch the lonely subjects sink. In this pain, I wailed bitterly and could do nothing."

Shang Jinfu fell on the ground, weeping bitterly.

He was in great pain. His ancestors unified the Three Mountains, and the country of his ancestors was handed over to him. His people were bullied, and his land was invaded, but he couldn't do anything.

"Let's give Ryukyu people a way to live." Shang Jinfu cried with great grief, with a lot of tears and snot in his nose.

Yue Qian looked at Shang Jinfu who was crying, and said angrily: "Don't cry, the seven-foot man will cry!"

"They bully you, what are you doing to him!"

"If you don't have firearms, use long and short soldiers, if you don't have long and short soldiers, use farm tools, if you don't have farm tools, use stones, if you don't have stones, use hands and feet, even if there is only one breath left in the end, you must bite them!"

"The big deal is death, crying at night and dawn, can you cry well?!"

Yue Qian, Ji Duo, Yuan Bin and Tang Xing, first of all, they are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are staunch main fighters. If they are indecisive, they will fight first and talk about it after the fight is over!
Shang Jinfu's appearance really made them look down on him a bit.

What kind of man is a crying man.

"I have fought, but I haven't fought." Huai Ji said with a sigh: "All angels, Ryukyu is not a great Ming Dynasty. People's hearts are scattered. Before the battle, people's hearts will be scattered."

"The Japanese, Hokkien, Semu, and Nanyang people have mixed forces. It's not that they don't want to, but they are really helpless."

Yue Qian nodded with some understanding and said: "I will send all the things you ask for to the capital, please be judged by your majesty."

"There is something urgent to do right now. Do you know where that Zhao Mingrui lives?"

The plan of Yue Qian and the others to arrest Zhao Mingrui was very simple. It was divided into four steps, find Zhao Mingrui, break in, arrest Zhao Mingrui, and leave Ryukyu.

Zhao Mingrui would entertain banquets on weekdays, but when he wasn't entertaining, he was a dragon who couldn't see the end, so it was not easy to catch.

"I live in the residence of my lonely eldest son Zhilu." Shang Jinfu replied hastily.

Those who supported Zhilu were pirates, mainly the overseas abandoned citizens of Ming Dynasty, Semuren and other pirates, and the ones who supported the second son were Japanese pirates, mainly the three-management-leading families such as the Shibo family and the Hosokawa family.

Only then did Yue Qian nod his head and said, "I never expected that the situation in Ryukyu has become so dangerous."

"We already know that you can go back. If there is news, Daming will naturally send envoys."

"We want to arrest Zhao Mingrui, and we may need to ask the King of Ryukyu for help. We will contact you for the details."

Huai Ji bowed his head and said: "Angels can come to Tianshou Temple if they need something. Tianshou Temple is the place where old monks practiced. They are very considerate."

Shang Jinfu hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and said, "Can the angel give me three guards? My guards are not loyal enough."

Yue Qian thought for a while and said, "After we discuss it, I will reply to you."

Huaiji monk Jin Fu bowed his head and left.

Ji Duo hesitated and said, "Is this person really Shang Jinfu and Huaiji? I don't trust them a bit."

Yue Qian frowned and said: "But their seals and letter cards are not fake. It's not justified to use such confidential things for others."

"The old rules." Yuan Bin raised his hand with a smile: "I think it is necessary to touch it, because people can be fake, but this handwriting cannot be fake. Do you think the writing is very correct?"

Yuan Bin pointed to the memorabilia, the handwriting on those memorabilia was extremely correct, ten thousand times stronger than the ghostly drawn symbols like Tuotuobuhua.

"I also agree to get in touch, so let's send three Tiqi." Yue Qian also agreed.

Their identities have already been known, and the ones waiting for them are not pirates or Japanese pirates. Yue Qian thinks he might as well give it a try.

"I reserve my opinion, but I will act together. If His Majesty commits a crime, we will share the responsibility." Ji Duo still distrusts Shang Jinfu and Huaiji, which has something to do with his character.

Ji Duo is the kind of cautious person who doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle.

"I agree too." Tang Xing said with a smile.

Yue Qian looked at Tang Xing who raised his hand, and said helplessly, "Commander Tang, it's none of your business."

　Ryukyu is now the Okinawa Islands. According to legal principles, it is co-governed. However, in 72, the remaining sovereignty of Okinawa was also a matter in accordance with the "Cairo Declaration", and it has nothing to do with Japan.
