I am the king of the dead

He witnessed with his own eyes that the Ryukyu Kingdom has gradually grown from an uncivilized country of savages to craftsmen, surnames, characters, and even history books.

Because of its special geographical location, the Ryukyu Kingdom is the most convenient transit point on the sea.

Hu Wei said with a heavy tone: "The Ryukyu Kingdom calls Daming the father country. If Japan is a rebellious son and North Korea is an unfilial son, then the Ryukyu Kingdom is a filial son. There has never been a time of disrespect."

"Ryukyu pays tribute every year, but since the Ming Dynasty lost its navy, the Ryukyu country has been continuously invaded by Japanese pirates, and the people are turbulent, and the Ryukyu envoys complain every year."

"The fourth king Shang Sida died of illness in the 14th year of Zhengtong, and they couldn't even build the king's tomb."

What Hu Wei meant was that because of the continuous reduction in the size of the navy in the Ming Dynasty, the filial son of the Ryukyu Kingdom became powerless even if he wanted to be filial.

"The current fifth king, Shang Jinfu, was enshrined in the first year of Jingtai." Hu Wei said with a strange expression: "The minister of Shang's Ryukyu is a Jiangsu scholar named Huaiji."

"This Huaiji participated in the Qiu Wei in the second year of Yongle, but he failed in the exam, so he went to Ryukyu."

"It was Huaiji who helped Shang Bazhi unify the Three Mountains. Since Shang Bazhi, Huaiji has served as the fourth generation, and has always served as the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom. He is known as the Zhuge of the Ryukyu. When the Ryukyu people talk about Huaiji, it is not because they are honored as the Duke of the Kingdom."

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback for a moment, those unsatisfactory scholars in Daming could not pass the examinations in Daming, and when they went out, each of them had a higher status than the other.

If you can't pass the exam, you can become a state official?

Hu Yan said with a full smile: "In the 16th year of Yongle, at the request of the King of Ryukyu, Huai Ji was canonized by Emperor Wen as the long history of the Ryukyu Palace. He can be regarded as an official of the Ming Dynasty."

Hu Yanxu has been rambling on for so long, talking about the Ryukyu Kingdom from an ignorant savage to the current system of Ryukyu. On the surface, he talked about Ryukyu, but in fact he talked about Ming Dynasty.

Because of the loss of the navy, Daming lost too much, Hu Yi would see the Ryukyu envoys every year, and every year the Ryukyu envoys would cry and complain about the atrocities of the Japanese pirates.

But Daming was beyond his reach, and every time Hu Wei went to meet their envoy on behalf of Daming, Hu Wei could only be speechless.

Hu Yi didn't know what to say, and his promotion of literature and martial arts brought a lot of trouble to the work of the Ministry of Rites.

After Zhu Qiyu and Hu Min finished playing chess, Hu Min resigned and left.

There was a layer of sweat on Lu Zhong's forehead. This Ming's No. [-] eagle dog finally understood the seriousness. Fortunately, it was a group of idiots who wanted to bring him down this time. If someone like Hu Wei were to do it, he would probably have already died.

"Hu Shangshu has nothing to do with you, just do things well." Zhu Qiyu asked Lu Zhong to go on an errand.

A group of people were sent from the Zhoushan Islands.

The first to be sent to the Liberation Court were the officials of the Ningbo Municipal Bureau of Shipping who appeared at the Anti-Ming League meeting, and the officials of the Zhejiang Procuratorate and the Ningbo Municipal Bureau of Shipping, who promoted Yang Qingbo.

The other seven people will be beheaded for public display, and the culprit will be executed Ling Chi.

Followed by the Japanese Shibo Yimin, he was captured, and several of his subordinates, the other Japanese were sunk together, and sent to the capital together, the journey is far away.

The last group of people was the leader of the pirates, Zhao Mingduan from the Pu family in Quanzhou, who ran too fast and was not captured by any of them.

Jiejieyuan once again injected new vitality.

After Zhu Qiyu criticized Zhu one by one, he asked with some doubts: "Where did Yuan Bin, Yue Qian and Ji Duo go? Li Binyan said he couldn't find them."

Xing'an thought carefully for a long time and said: "I don't know where they went, they probably swam away, and they are now in Ryukyu."

Xing'an finally found out that the three of Yuan Bin and the spies have always had an indissoluble bond, first Xining, then the three brothers of the Qu family, and now Pu's.

Zhu Qiyu watched the memorial for a long time and said: "Zhao Mingduan also deserves the surname Zhao?"

Like Yuan Bin, Yue Qian, and Ji Duo, Zhu Qiyu read the ins and outs of the Pu family, and felt that Zhao Mingduan, the current leader of the Pu family, was not worthy of the surname Zhao.

Where are the three of Yuan Bin?They are in Ryukyu.

Yue Qian and the other three saw the Japanese pirates carrying gunpowder onto the ship at Wanghai Pavilion, and immediately asked Tiqi to report the news to the Shipping Department of Songjiang City. At the same time, they also discovered the escape of the pirates on the island.

The three made a decisive decision and immediately chased after them. They walked in a hurry, and there were only 13 people in the group.

Of course, the trio with excellent physical strength did not swim in the sea as Xing'an said this time, but went to the Ryukyu Kingdom by boat.

Yue Qian challenged fish oil lamps. Fish oil is one of Ryukyu's special products. Fish oil can improve eyesight. It is a tribute, the main product of tribute.

They are Han Chinese. After arriving in Ryukyu, they felt the enthusiasm of the local people.

There are actually two wicks in this fish oil lamp!

Yue Qian picked up a wick and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Yue Qian looked at his hands with some doubts.

Why do you choose the wick yourself?

But it has already been picked off, and it is not appropriate to put it back.

Yue Qian said with a smile: "Because we steadfastly followed Zhao Mingduan to escape, we gained the trust of pirates and Japanese pirates. Because of our identity as Han Chinese, we have been highly valued."

"Everyone in the Ryukyu Kingdom can talk to each other."

Yuan Bin nodded and said: "It's a pity that the Daming Navy can only do arrogance at the door of the house. When it comes to this Ryukyu country, there is nothing they can do."

"Ugh."

The Daming navy has just recovered a little bit, and it is still a little powerless to set sail to sea.

Ji Duo knocked on the table and said: "Tomorrow, Zhao Mingduan will be the host. I heard that the King of Ryukyu will also attend. We must at least arrest Zhao Mingduan and punish him."

"That makes sense." Yue Qian agreed.

Yuan Bin suddenly said, "I don't think it makes sense! This matter is very difficult."

"There are only three of us, with less than ten Jinyiwei, they have at least 3 people! How do we catch Zhao Mingduan?"

"Although we have letter cards, we have no people, only a small boat."

"How can it make sense?"

Yue Qian blinked his eyes and said with certainty: "You can fight. It's not a problem to hit 3 people alone. Back then, when you were less than Baiqi, you rushed to the 10-strong army of the Wala people and arrested the three brothers of the Qu family." What about the momentum?"

Ji Duo said in deep agreement, "Yes, it's not a problem for one person to hit 3 people."

Yuan Bin thought for a while and said, "No, I can't fight. I can only fight thirty."

Yue Qian and Ji Duo looked at each other, then burst out laughing.

Yue Qian said with a smile: "It's hard to catch, but since we're here, it's not a problem to go back empty-handed. Isn't that a joke?"

The three fell into silence, looking at the lamp oil in the lamp.

Suddenly there was an aggressive knock on the door.

The three of Yue Qian immediately picked up the Xiuchun Knife in their hands. The style of the Xiuchun Knife was similar to the common waist knives of the Ming Dynasty. If there was no belt, it would have the same shape as the waist knives.

Yue Qian said vigilantly: "Who?!"

Chapter 411 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.
