The Red House starts from Liaodong

The army of the Ryukyu Kingdom had already been defeated by Japan, and the royal family of the Ryukyu Kingdom had been taken captive by Satsuma for several years before being released.

The Satsuma clan sent many deputy officials to supervise and manage the Ryukyu Kingdom, and even in the season of rent collection, they would send troops to plunder.

The Ryukyu Kingdom is a strange place to Shen Yourong.

According to the information obtained from overseas merchants, the huge fleet marched along the island, and went ashore from time to time to inquire.

In addition to the main island of the Ryukyu Kingdom, there are many surrounding islands, many of which are uninhabited islands, and some islands only have dozens of people.

The population on these islands is more like indigenous tribes.

Only the main island of the Ryukyu Kingdom, because of the influence of oriental culture, its architecture, culture, and language are similar to those of the former Ming Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

All the way to find it, all the way to show the military might of the Jinjiang army.

Finally came to the southern part of Ryukyu Island.

There are hundreds of ships on the sea, more than a hundred warships, Shen Yourong protects the fleet, and Zhou Gou'er leads people ashore to contact the officials of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The officials on the pier had long since disappeared, only some common people in the distance were looking at this place curiously.

The Ryukyu Kingdom is more like the Great Zhou Fujian.

At the beginning, in order to help the Ryukyu civil affairs, the former Ming Dynasty sent dozens of shipwrights to Ryukyu to build ships for Ryukyu.

These shipwrights received preferential treatment, and most of them chose to stay in Ryukyu, and the population was prosperous.

Although it has been assimilated by the Ryukyu mainland for hundreds of years, it has also affected the Ryukyu country.

In addition, the status of the Ryukyu vassal state is the same as that of North Korea, and the contacts are very close, and they all use Chinese surnames for their names.

The panic at the beginning gradually dissipated after learning that it was the Heavenly Army, and turned into curiosity and excitement.

Zhou Gou'er ordered the soldiers to be vigilant, and at the same time sent soldiers to contact the people, preparing to purchase food and water.

Although the fleet has sufficient supplies, it is definitely better to be replenished and more comprehensively prepared.

The soldiers saw the people in the distance, but before they approached, the people who were still watching curiously just now fled in panic.

Several soldiers stood there in embarrassment, looking back at Zhou Gou'er involuntarily.

Reluctantly, Zhou Gouer pointed to the people farther away.

They were good at fighting, and they didn't show any fear in the group, but when they came out to meet people, they all turned introverted.

A captain who was less socially fearful took the initiative to ask more people.

at last.

Those who have the courage to come forward and contact them.

The languages ​​of the two sides are already similar, and even after pointing fingers, they both understand the meaning of the other party.

"The man was a traitor just now, and he took refuge in the Satsuma clan. He informed the acting officials of the Satsuma clan."

Just as several sergeants were exchanging supplies with the common people, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes suddenly stepped forward to tell them.

The soldier saw that the man spoke standard Chinese, although he was dressed in rags, but he didn't dare to treat him slowly, so he quickly informed Zhou Gou'er.

Zhou Gou'er heard the words and rushed to bring him over.

"Who are you?"

"Reporting to the Heavenly General, the elder brother of the foreign minister is Zheng Jiong, the third division officer. The foreign minister originally served as a general officer, but because his elder brother opposed Japan, he was killed.

Foreign ministers were also arrested by Japan and kept their names incognito. Now that they saw Tianjun, they were worried that Tianjun would be taken advantage of by spies, so they dared to tell the truth. "

To be able to speak Chinese proficiently, one must come from a very special background.

Zhou Gou'er understood the other party's words, but she got a headache.

Who should he trust?
So he ordered people to send this person back to the big ship. Although he didn't know if it was true, he still raised his vigilance to prevent being attacked by the enemy.

The sergeants who went out to buy supplies were also hurriedly called back by him.

The man was on the small boat going to the big ship, trying to explain, trying to convince the surrounding sergeants to believe him.

Shuri Castle.

The capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Its layout is built according to the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, of course it is just a model, it is impossible to copy it, and it is not on such a large scale.

Twenty years ago, it was plundered by the Satsuma clan, and the palace, which had been in existence for hundreds of years, has since been dilapidated and has not been repaired until now.

Shurei Gate to Hirofu Gate, and then to Imperial Court.

The Heavenly Army of the Shang Dynasty appeared on the pier and had already arrived here. The new king, Shang Feng, was as expressionless as a puppet.

offstage.

The current third officer, Weng Shengji, who is equivalent to the prime minister, negotiated with the Japanese officials on how to deal with the sudden appearance of the Zhou army.

Weng Shengji is the third son of Weng Jisong.

Japan is close to Ryukyu, and more powerful than Ryukyu. Weng Jisong has been close to Japan since he was a child.

The style of writing is very similar to that of the ancestor of the Japanese royal style, Prince Zun Enfa, so it is also called "Zun Enfa".

When the Satsuma Domain invaded the Ryukyu Kingdom, the family was preserved.

After Weng Jisong died of old age, the eldest son died of illness, and the second son was seriously ill. Therefore, the third son Weng Sheng inherited the position of Jiadu.

"Don't panic, you should first find out the other party's intentions before responding."

Weng Shengji did not agree with what the Japanese acting official said, and took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness to surprise the Da Zhou army.

Japan's Daiguan Oshikawa Kokami, a minor surname of the Satsuma clan, followed the Satsuma clan's vassal Kawayama Hisaka to invade the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Oshikawa believed that the sudden appearance of the Dazhou army would definitely affect the rule of the Satsuma domain in the Ryukyu Kingdom, so he wanted to eliminate the opponent in advance.

Although Weng Shengji took refuge in Japan, he did not want to offend Da Zhou.

Therefore, I tried my best to find out the intention of the other party first. No matter what, you can paralyze the other party first and win time.

Although he was in the main battle, Oshikawa was not confident. Seeing this, he agreed with Weng Shengji.

But King Shangfeng on the stage was ignored.

If it weren't for the strong resistance from all parts of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the Satsuma clan could not be calmed down, how could this person be kept.

It was just used as a decoration to prevent chaos in all parts of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

There are Japanese officials, samurai, and Ryukyu natives who have defected to Japan. Weng Shengji does not think that the Dazhou army can find out the domestic situation.

As far as he knew, Da Zhou never took the initiative to explore the outside world.

As a result, many years ago, even the shogun was mistaken for the king of Japan, which made a big joke.

Zowen, the local big house, was also a Ryukyu native who had defected to Japan, and even led the way for the invading Satsuma army.

Zowen took on the heavy responsibility to contact the Da Zhou army.

On the pier, food was offered on its own initiative.

According to the arrangement of the military commander, no troubles should be caused when passing through the Ryukyu country this time, so as not to affect the fleet's emigration to Fujian.

Although he is not afraid of the warships of the Satsuma clan, he is afraid of being harassed by them when returning to the voyage.

intermediary time.

A ship can be as many as a thousand, or as few as a hundred immigrants. It is unacceptable that the loss outweighs the gain if one ship is destroyed.

So the purpose this time is to show the existence of the Jinjiang Army.

Encourage the hearts of the Ryukyu people, don't let the local forces of the Ryukyu country lose confidence, and urge them to take action.

Even if the Jin Jiang fleet can understand the internal situation of the Ryukyu country, it will also lay a good foundation for the Jin Jiang fleet to land in the Ryukyu country in the future.

Although it was Jin Jiangzhen's first contact with Ryukyu, he was fully prepared. Jeju Island is the window to the outside world.

Zhou Gou'er faced this Ryukyu official who took the initiative to contact him and went back and forth.

Because someone pointed out that he was a spy just now, although his face remained unchanged, he was careful in his heart and did not trust him too much.

"Is it just supplies?"

Hearing this, Zuo Wen looked disappointed.

He tried his best to ask the other party to visit the Ryukyu King, but the other party vetoed it, and only asked for supplies at the pier.

Zhou Gou'er didn't know if the other party had good intentions, but according to the military commander's analysis.

Now that the forces in Ryukyu are chaotic, the most important thing is to distinguish who is loyal to Zhou, who is neutral, and who has already surrendered to Satsuma.

Only after figuring this out, can the Satsuma clan be easily driven away by being close to Da Zhou's forces.

Otherwise, half the effort will result in an unfavorable situation.

Moreover, with the heavy responsibility of immigration, one should not act recklessly.

Zhou Gou'er didn't take it seriously at first, but when he came into contact with the Ryukyu Kingdom, there were two people, real and fake, so he didn't dare to mess around.

As the military commander said.

The situation in the Ryukyu Kingdom was unable to rely on its king at the beginning, because it was controlled by the Satsuma clan, so it could only rely on local power.

Without revealing the real target, Zhou Gou'er chose to paralyze the other party.

The officials in front of him went back to inform the king.

in the palace.

Samurai warriors, Weng Shengji and other officials are waiting for Zowen.

When Zuo Wen came back and told everyone about the purpose of the Great Zhou army, Weng Shengji was completely relieved, but Oshikawa Gongjin felt sorry.

He told Zuo Wen to lure the officers and soldiers of Dazhou to go ashore.

When the other party saw the king, the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom was proclaimed personally by the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou would not dare to treat him slowly.

It is so convenient that it can be ordered not to enter the capital with weapons.

And he can lead the Japanese samurai and the Ryukyu army under his control to attack and kill the opponent.

Unexpectedly, the other party rejected it.

However, as Weng Shengji said, one thing more is worse than one thing less, Oshikawa Gongjin did not continue to force Zowen.

"Since this is the intention of coming here, you should tell the Da Zhou army that our country is short of supplies and there is no surplus supply."

Mr. Oshikawa said.

Every plant and thing in the Ryukyu Kingdom belongs to the Satsuma clan, so how could they be willing to give it to Da Zhou's army cheaply?

"I'm afraid it's not beautiful."

Weng Shengji proposed.

Take the initiative to send supplies to the Dazhou army, and then bring up what Oshikawa said, so that the Dazhou army will no longer claim the Ryukyu Kingdom.

That is, it is in line with human feelings and makes the other party irreproachable.

If it were someone else who dared to oppose him repeatedly, Mr. Oshikawa had already drawn his sword and slashed at him.

But it was the Weng family, Oshikawa knew that the other party was sincere, so he didn't get angry and approved the other party.

The Jinjiang army fleet, which had received supplies, finally left.

on the flagship.

Zheng Zhou wept bitterly.

Their Zheng family turned out to be Zhu Yuanzhang of the former Ming Dynasty, who moved the "36 surnames of Fujian people" who were good at sailing and sailing to one of the Ryukyu.

It is a branch of the Zheng family, the earliest Ryukyu Hokkien who immigrated to the Ryukyu Hokkien.

And his elder brother Zheng Pei, who was an official at the age of 16, went to Dazhou and entered the Imperial Academy in the capital of Dazhou for six years.

After returning home.

Opposite and replace the third officer, Ono Yosamatsu, who is close to Japanese culture, and become the new third officer.

It is also the first three officials of Han descent in the history of the Ryukyu Kingdom, equivalent to the prime minister.

When the Satsuma clan invaded the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The Ryukyu Army was defeated, and all the officials surrendered. The one who opposed the Satsuma Domain was his elder brother Zheng Pei.

"The Satsuma clan wanted to kill my elder brother, because my elder brother was proficient in Tang Shouquan and martial arts, but he failed.

Later, several warriors were sent to work together to win the victory and kill my elder brother.

Our house was burned down by the warriors of the Satsuma domain, and I was also wanted by them, and I have been hiding in the countryside. This is a well-known fact. "

Hearing what the person in front of him said, Shen Yourong was inclined to believe him.

One is that since his eldest brother has been in the Great Zhou State Prison, it is easy to find out, and the other is, as he said, in such a situation, it is also easy to find out in the Ryukyu Kingdom.
