The Red House starts from Liaodong

Jeju Island.

Back then, North Korea used the reason of assisting the Jinzhou General Soldier Tang Qing'an to resist the barbarians, and gave all the neglected islands to the Jinzhou General Soldier for garrisoning.

Whether it is a gift or a loan, there is no official document to confirm.

Jinjiang Town has always said that North Korea has shown great kindness to Jinjiang Town, and gave Jinjiang Town many islands, which is why Jinjiang Town is what it is today.

North Korean officials objected to this matter, but Jin Jiangzhen avoided it and did not face up to this conflict.

In short.

The maritime trade of Jeju Island has become more and more prosperous for several years.

In the peak season of May and June, merchant ships from various countries arrive at Jeju Island, and new ships arrive every day, and the pier is extremely lively.

The weather here is completely different from that in China and North Korea.

There are only two words of prosperity to describe it.

Even the Japanese envoys in North Korea came to Jeju Island privately to organize some trade, exchanging Japanese specialties for goods from other countries.

Liu Xianglian went to North Korea and had contact with Japanese envoys.

The Japanese envoy can not only speak Korean, but also Chinese. Liu Xianglian is born as a hero, and has a knack for winning people's hearts.

Soon he became friends with the Japanese envoy, and in less than half a year in North Korea, he learned both Korean and Japanese.

Accompanied by Liu Xianglian, the Japanese envoy is more convenient in Jeju Island, without worrying about being exposed.

The results of all events in Jeju Island were sent to Jinzhou.

Tang Qingan was very satisfied with Liu Xianglian.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to do as well as Liu Xianglian, so let nature take its course and not be doubted.

Although the officials in Jinjiang Town did a good job, compared to Liu Xianglian, who was born in a noble family, had been nurtured since childhood, and had talent.

He has talent, background, and years of hard work.

Such a person, such a condition, is rare in the world. The officials of Jinjiang Town are not as good as Liu Xianglian in some aspects.

For Liu Xianglian's trip to Japan in the future, Tang Qing'an couldn't think of anyone else who could do better than Liu Xianglian.

His actions in Japan went smoothly, and it will be easy for Jin Jiangzhen to subdue Japan in the future.

This person.

The effect on Jinjiang Town is extraordinary, not comparable to ordinary people.

Putting down Liu Xianglian's secret letter, Tang Qing'an finally saw the news that Jia Yucun was sent to Fujian to be an official.

"it is good."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

"When Jia Yucun goes to Fujian, immediately organize the navy to go to Fujian to recruit refugees."

Jia Jian and Xie Youcheng are here.

Xie Youcheng was in charge of the military division and suggested with a smile.

"It's so far from Jinzhou to Fujian. It's a bit overkill to only help the refugees. Why don't you go to the Ryukyu Kingdom along the way."

The general has thoughts about Japan, and Xie Youcheng has guessed, so the Ryukyu Kingdom is very important.

"Okay, you guys have a charter."

Tang Qing'an smiled sharply.

Jia Jian said again.

"Jia Yucun went to Fujian to be an official, and the prince spared no effort on this matter, and he was an important person who facilitated this matter.

I analyzed his mind and thought that he might want to replace Jia's position in Jinjiang Town. "

"you're right."

Tang Qing'an nodded, and finally said something that no one knew.

"Not long ago, Xue Pan from the Xue family came to Jinzhou, and made a roundabout statement, probably wanting to marry a girl from the Xue family to me."

In fact, where is to marry, sending words is more accurate.

However, Tang Qing'an has always attached great importance to love and righteousness.

Their family, including their late father, have all received favors from the Xue family's elder, even after the Xue family's defeat, they have been rewarded by him.

But Aunt Xue has never been sorry for him, and the young lady of the Xue family often speaks for him.

Including when he bid farewell to the Xue family, the girl from the Xue family helped a lot, but he never knew it.It wasn't until Ying'er came to Jinzhou that I told him everything.

Regarding this matter, Tang Qing'an was very pleased.

It's not in vain that I brought the Xue family girl with me since I was a child, after all, I still call myself Brother An's good sister.

Xie Youcheng was in charge of intelligence before, and Jia Jian also came from China, and now he is in charge of Jinjiang Town's intelligence.

The mistress of the Xue family is from the Wang family.

The two immediately understood that Wang Ziteng really wanted it so much.

Xie Youcheng didn't know Wang Ziteng was a man, but Jia Jian knew something about it.

"Compared to the conservativeness of Jia's mansion, Wang Ziteng is indeed more beneficial to our Jinjiang Town, but compared to Jia's mansion, it has less influence among nobles."

Jia Jian carefully analyzed whether it is better to win over Jia's mansion or win over Wang's mansion, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Xie Youcheng had dealt with the army for many years, and was affected by it without knowing it, so he couldn't help interrupting Jia Jian.

"Why choose one of them? I think it's better to have all of them."

"Hahaha."

Jia Jian was stunned for a moment, but immediately came to his senses, grinning from ear to ear, pointing at Xie Youcheng speechless.

Tang Qing'an also shook his head speechlessly.

Xie Youcheng even made a joke of himself.

"I heard from Liu Xianglian that the Ryukyu Kingdom was attacked by the Satsuma clan of Japan a few years ago, forcing the Ryukyu king to pay tribute to the Satsuma clan.

I also heard that this Satsuma domain has a bad relationship with the Japanese shogunate, and I don't know how long the other party's tentacles have over Ryukyu. "

Tang Qingan reminded.

The fact that the Satsuma clan forced the Ryukyu Kingdom to pay tribute and made the Ryukyu Kingdom into a state of two vassalities was not prescient.

The Satsuma domain controlled the Ryukyu Kingdom to facilitate smuggling to the Great Zhou, but they did not expect that the shogunate would impose a sea ban, preventing it from profiting and growing through sea trade.

But unintentionally planted willows and willows into shades.

This move laid the foundation for Japan to formally bring Ryukyu under its rule in later generations.

"The length of his hand is cut off."

Xie Youcheng smiled confidently.

Liu Xianglian provided a steady stream of Japanese intelligence, one for the military commander and one for the general. Of course he also read it.

It's just a vassal of Japan who dared to invade Da Zhou's vassal state, which happened to give Jinjiang Town a reason.

In order to avoid the imperial court blaming Jinjiang Town for lightly starting the war in the future.

In fact, Japan now has many opportunities to take advantage of. Disputes over imperial power are not mentioned, and conflicts with Western countries are not mentioned.

There are also many civil unrest in Japan.

If history does not change, there will be a great civil unrest a few years later.

At the beginning, the shogunate thought it was just an ordinary civil disturbance, and thought it would be over soon.

Until the end, many daimyo were recruited and 13 troops were used.

Relying on the internal response of the rebellious army, Yamada Youemon's tip-off, he won the victory and eliminated the civil disturbance.

Even after the defeat, the women, children and children in the rebellious army did not surrender to the shogunate coalition forces, and accepted death gladly.

Visible heart.

If there were no traitors to betray, with the intensity of this civil unrest, if more than [-] shogunate coalition forces were defeated.

The chaos of the army can occupy the entire Kyushu of Japan, which will lead to the division of Japan.

Da Zhou has done too little external exploration, and is in a state of passively accepting news, without the diplomatic edge to take the initiative.

So this time, Tang Qing'an agreed that Jinjiang Army's navy would pass through Ryukyu to expel the forces of the Satsuma clan on the island.

It can also be regarded as allowing the civil and military of Jinjiang Town to gradually contact Japan, laying the foundation for future intervention in Japan.

The relationship between the Satsuma clan and the shogunate was originally at odds. At the beginning of the battle of Sekigahara, the Satsuma clan stood on the opposite side.

However, it was only after the defeat, relying on diplomatic means and the shogunate army that there was no spare power, that the Satsuma clan was allowed to continue to remain.

The name of Satsuma clan is a smart man, Tang Qing'an didn't believe that there was a shogunate behind him, and dared to increase the number of powerful enemies.

At the risk of offending Jin Jiangzhen, he did not let Ryukyu go.

The opponent had no intention of annexing Ryukyu Island, and forced the King of Ryukyu to pay tribute to him. The purpose was also to pass the trade between Ryukyu and Dazhou, but it failed because of the sea ban initiated by the shogunate.

And if he wants to trade, he can come to Jeju Island.

The shogunate has already begun to persecute the daimyos from all over the world, and only one city is allowed to be kept, and the rest of the cities and fortresses must be demolished.

Without numerous military forts and castles, if a daimyo disobeyed the order of the shogunate, the shogunate could easily attack the opponent.

No one is a fool.

Of course the daimyos were all dissatisfied, and they were all trying to shirk the new regulations, but because of the power of the shogunate, no one dared to directly resist.

As the Satsuma clan who was suspected by the shogunate, it was the first to bear the brunt of it, and there were many troubles on its body.

So Tang Qing'an didn't interfere too much with the military commander.

This time, he wanted to see if the military division had developed to the present and could be on its own.

Xie Youcheng was full of confidence in front of the general, showing that he had the chance to win, but when he went back and started planning, he was very cautious and cautious.

After discussing with the officials of the Military Division, Shen Yourong and Zhou Gou'er were called.

The twenty new warships are all in this navy, and with the addition of the original hundred ships, the combat power has already dominated one side.

The original number of soldiers was 2000, but now it has reached 4000.

In order to go to Fujian to meet the refugees, the original 260 ships were placed in the Military Armament Department and all the training ships used to train civilians were pulled out.

soon.

All the big and small seagoing ships in Jeju Island have finally purchased the desired goods and returned with a full load.

On this channel, a fleet of hundreds of ships appeared.

After the reunification of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the population was not large. More than 100 years later, the population was only 30, and now it is less than 10.

The strength of the country is not strong, and the national army has only two to three thousand people.

The king has never had a surname, only a first name. He became a vassal state in the Ming Dynasty and was given the surname Shang.

Later, he surrendered to Dazhou, and its domestic language is Chinese characters, and its customs are similar to those of Dazhou and Fujian.

Before the former Japanese shogunate sent troops to conquer Korea, the Ryukyu Kingdom had already been defeated by Japan, and the king was taken captive to Japan.

He was imprisoned for several years before he was released. After learning the news, he still ignored the danger and sent envoys to inform Dazhou.

The current old king has passed away, because the Ryukyu Kingdom at this time has been defeated by the Satsuma clan and is under the management of the Satsuma clan officials.

The new king is Shangfeng, the eighth king of the second Shang Dynasty of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Now Shangfeng is still the king, and the Ryukyu Kingdom still has ministers to govern the region. After two years, it will be completely reduced to a puppet.

On the eve of the civil unrest in Kyushu, Japan, he was deprived of the title of king by the Satsuma clan.

Thousands of Jinjiang Army sailors and hundreds of ships are covered with the Jinjiang Army's flag, and the cannons on the warships are daunting.

It caused panic among the people on the shore, and they fled one after another.

a long time.

Only officials have the courage to contact.

"Excuse me, is it the Celestial Army?"

The official was overjoyed to get a positive reply, and hurried to see the king.

Up and down the Ryukyu Island, I have been looking forward to the heavenly army for a long time.
