Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 653
After being stunned at Honglu Temple in Daming, the envoys of the four colonial countries had no choice but to leave in resentment.

Will they be willing to give up their colony?of course not.

Whether it was Java once controlled by the Netherlands, or Luzon once controlled by Spain.

They are all important bases and trade centers in Asia, and they will never give up easily.

After returning to the embassy, ​​the envoys of the four countries discussed again, and then sent someone to send a letter back.

Report the situation here and Ming's attitude to the supreme ruler of the kingdom, and ask the four countries to send a large-scale joint fleet to recover the colony.

At that time, it was not as developed as it is now. You could fly or take a fast boat to reach your country in the shortest time with navigation.

When their letters will be delivered to the king depends entirely on luck and weather. If they are unlucky and encounter a hurricane, they may never be delivered.

Even if they are lucky, it will take several months for their country to be thousands of miles away from the Malay Peninsula.

At this time Spain and Portugal had fallen, and England was still a little brother.

Only the Netherlands is the most powerful, they have thousands of warships.

However, they are all distributed all over the world, and it is impossible to gather them together in a short time.

The celebration banquet at the Royal Hotel was underway, and all the civil and military officials were pushing cups and changing cups, which was very lively.

In the second half of the banquet, in order to let the civil and military ministers drink to their fullest, Zhu Youjian got up and said:

"With me here, you shouldn't be able to enjoy yourself to your heart's content. In order to let you stop drinking, I will go back first."

Sun Chuanting, Qi Jiguang and other civil and military officials hurriedly put down their wine glasses:

"Your Majesty, you did not interfere with the ministers drinking..."

"Needless to say, I can understand your feelings, so be it!"

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the hall, and returned to Qianqing Palace under the escort of the royal guards.

Under the service of Caidie Qiuju, Zhu Youjian bathed and changed clothes, and lay on the large dragon bed to read a book.

Caidie Qiuyue immediately knelt beside him and beat his legs, and Zhu Youjian's heart was itchy from being hit by the four jade fists.

After reading a few pages, he put down the book to look at the two maids who beat his legs and said:

"Retire and let Yang Guifei come and accompany me."

"According to the purpose"

Caidie Qiuju immediately bowed and retreated.

About half a stick of incense time, Yang Mi walked into the room smartly:
"My concubine sees Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian looked up at Yang Mi, and found that she was getting more and more mature, exuding a seductive fragrance all over her body, like a ripe peach.

"Mianli is flat, you come to accompany me tonight."

"Thank you Your Majesty..."

After Yang Mi thanked her, her pretty face was flushed, and she looked at Zhu Youjian with her big beautiful eyes, as if she had something to say, but she held back, as if hesitating to speak.

Zhu Youjian pulled her to his side and said:

"Come and sit down, just speak up if you have anything to say."

Yang Mi suddenly lowered her head and asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty is mighty, and the concubine can't handle it alone. Can you call another sister over? This seems to be Zhang Liying's strong point..."

Under normal circumstances, concubines would compete to accompany the emperor, but after Zhu Youjian's body was transformed by the system...

Seeing Yang Mi's shy appearance, Zhu Youjian laughed loudly:

"Hahaha... Since you want to find helpers, then ask them to come with you!"

Yang Mi leaned her head on Zhu Youjian's shoulder and whispered:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

……

The next day

Zhu Youjian, who has always been tireless, slept until noon before opening his eyes.

Seeing the bright sunshine outside the window, Zhu Youjian's gaze stayed on the four little flowers again.

If he hadn't summoned Ryukyu Prince Shangxian today, he really wanted to fight another [-] rounds.

"Come here, wash and change my clothes."

Hearing the emperor's cry, Caidie Qiuju immediately walked into the room to wash and change Zhu Youjian.

In the Huangji Hall, after Zhu Youjian sits firmly on the Longshu table, the civil and military visits of the Manchu Dynasty are over, and the minister of Honglu Temple comes up with the prelude:

"Qizou Your Majesty, the son of Ryukyu is seeking an audience."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:
"Call!"

"According to the purpose"

The eunuch in attendance immediately shouted loudly:

"Let's say, the Ryukyu princes are worthy to see you."

Following the voice of the little eunuch, Ryukyu Prince Shangxian walked into the Hall of the Emperor and bowed to salute:
"My minister, Ryukyu Shangxian, see His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly:

"Ryukyu prince, free from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor Daming."

Shangxian Xie Enping died.

Zhu Youjian took a casual look and saw that Shangxian was wearing a Ming Dynasty official uniform, about 30 years old, and his face was sickly, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Zhu Youjian spoke slowly:
"Ryukyu Prince Shangxian, I heard that you have been waiting to see me, what's the matter?"

Shangxian hurriedly cupped his hands and replied:

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times, and is now actually controlled by the Satsuma clan of the Wa Kingdom.

Shang Xian also divided his troops into two groups, and barely escaped the Satsuma clan's siege and interception. He hoped that Daming would send troops to expel the Satsuma clan. "

"Oh……"

Zhu Youjian just let out an oh, and didn't make a statement for the time being.

Sun Chuanting, the chief assistant of the cabinet, saw that the emperor was hesitant. He knew what the emperor was thinking, so he hurried out to play:

"Your Majesty, the drought in Ming Dynasty is severe. Many places are in urgent need of disaster relief. The army has been fighting for days. Not only are the soldiers exhausted, but the military supplies are also very tight. The cabinet does not recommend sending troops to Ryukyu."

Sun Chuanting is Zhu Youjian's die-hard fan, of course he didn't stop Ming Dynasty from sending troops to Ryukyu.

He is playing a double reed with the emperor, and the purpose is to show it to the Ryukyu prince Shangxian.

Although Shangxian is the son of the Ryukyu prince, he is always under the control of the Satsuma clan, which can be described as miserable.

The Satsuma clan is not only powerful but also domineering, and those Japanese ronin don't treat the Ryukyu people as human beings at all.

Shangxian had had enough long ago. After arriving in Daming, seeing the happy and free life of the people in Daming, Shangxian was extremely envious.

He would rather be a local official in Ming Dynasty than let Ryukyu continue to be controlled by Satsuma.

So Shangxian broke his heart and knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian:

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Shangxian implores the people of Ryukyu to send troops to rescue them. As long as the Satsuma clan is driven away, Ryukyu is willing to become a county of the Ming Dynasty."

The words of Shangxian hit Zhu Youjian's heart, and this is what he wanted.

Ryukyu is not big and the population is not large, but the location of Ryukyu is very important.

Thinking about Okinawa, the Japanese country of later generations, which is now the territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom, we know how important it is.

It controls the important channel for China to enter the Pacific Ocean, and it is also the first island chain for foreign countries to contain China.

Zhu Youjian and Sun Chuanting smiled at each other, and then said to Shangxian:
"Okay, since Shangxian said so, Ming can send troops to Ryukyu. After the Satsuma domain is driven away, I will make you the king of Ryukyu. Ryukyu will still be under your management, but the imperial court will garrison Ryukyu."

"Boom bang..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving the people of Ryukyu. Shangxian kowtows to you on behalf of the people of Ryukyu."

Shangxian was one of the excited ones, and without hesitation, he kowtowed three times to Zhu Youjian.

In this way, the Ryukyu Islands became the territory of Ming Dynasty this time in history.

However, Ryukyu is not yet controlled by Daming, and Daming needs to send troops to take it back from the Satsuma clan of the Japanese kingdom.

Moreover, Shangxian and Daming had to sign a surrender document so that he would not change his mind in the future.
