Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 187 I'm pampering myself?

It is said that Xiao Liuqiu was transformed by the horned dragon after the death of the horned dragon, and it happened to be the horned dragon under the throne of the black dragon.

For such rumors, it is naturally Feng Yibo who is touching porcelain.

It's interesting to say that Feng Yibo wasn't completely nonsense.

But there is more or less a little basis.

The name "Ryukyu" has well-documented records, and it evolved from the word "Liuqiu".

During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Zhu Kuan, the Yuqiwei, to visit and seek strange customs.

After Zhu Kuan went out to sea, he saw an island in the East China Sea, which looked like a horned dragon floating on the sea.

So it is called "Liuqiu".

Afterwards, it was passed around and became "Ryukyu", "Liuqiu" and so on.

That's right, the title of Liuqiu also comes from this.

Because at the beginning, Liuqiu referred to the east of Penghu and the south of Waguo, including Liuqiu and Xiaoliuqiu.

A collective name for a large group of islands.

Later, with the discovery of voyages, and the fact that Xiaoliuqiu became a vassal of the Central Plains, Liuqiu was gradually included in the Penghu Xuanwei Division.

In order to distinguish, it is expressed in different words.

One is recorded as Liuqiu, which is Feng Yibo's current territory.

According to the official records of the Great Wei, the above are all raw and uncivilized.

There are many other islands, but they are all relatively small, so it is recorded as Xiaoliuqiu.

That is today's Little Liuqiu.

Although the Little Liuqiu Kingdom has undergone hundreds of years of changes, it has unified from the original three small countries into the Little Liuqiu Kingdom.

But it has always been a vassal of the Central Plains.

It was precisely because of the convenience of his position that Feng Yibo saw these materials.

I feel that Liuqiu and Xiaoliuqiu are obviously from the same source.

So with an idea, he found such an excuse to send troops.

Of course, this time he asked Liu Qiu to send troops in a high-profile manner.

In addition to the consistent policy of being hostile to the Japanese country, it is necessary to go to rescue Xiaoliuqiu, which was invaded by the Japanese country.

By the way, pick up a cheap one, occupying a place outside.

Also because Feng Yibo has a bold plan.

If this plan comes to fruition, the entire pattern of the East China Sea will undergo earth-shaking changes!

At the court meeting, after listening to the routine battle report from Prince Teng of the Northland.

The ministers of the court also discussed the compensation for the drought in the two prefectures of Shandong.

In the end, it was the turn of overseas affairs.

The Minister of Waiting came out and read aloud with the book:
"The next thing is that the war in Xiaoliuqiu country in the East China Sea will change again."

The content of each court meeting was drawn up by the cabinet and communicated with Emperor Jingshun in advance.

The general affairs were discussed by the cabinet and the emperor, and they were dealt with casually.

Only things that need to be discussed at the court meeting will be brought to the court meeting for discussion.

Such as border incidents, or natural disasters.

Xiaoliuqiu is a vassal of the Great Wei Dynasty, so it is also included in the border affairs.

"Little Liuqiu Kingdom was captured by the Wa Kingdom a month ago. The Lord Shang and all his subordinates were captured and escorted to the Wa Kingdom."

This matter was discussed at the court meeting before, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had some impressions.

As a result of the disposal at that time, the Wa Kingdom was reprimanded and the Wa Kingdom's tribute was suspended.

Until the Lord Shang of the Xiaoliuqiu Kingdom was released, he and all his subjects were released.

"Later, there was a force claiming to be the Black Dragon King of the East Sea, who sent troops from Liuqiu to land in Xiaoliuqiu, and wiped out the three thousand Japanese invaders."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, except the leaders of the various parties, was a little confused.

The name of the Black Dragon King of the East China Sea is obviously not known to many people.

Because, as Feng Yibo skillfully resolved Franz Ya's request, this name did not appear on the court.

Of course, this name still spread to the ears of the big bosses in the court.

It just didn't get enough attention.

But now, the name appears again.

It was even possible to defeat the elite of the Three Thousand Japanese Kingdom who had conquered the capital of Xiaoliuqiu.

I have to let the bigwigs in the DPRK and China pay a little attention to it.

Of course, only slightly.

Three thousand troops, in their view, is just a stronger Japanese bandit.

The establishment of any guard has more people than this.

"Afterwards, this force took over and announced that Liuqiu and Xiaoliuqiu are under the rule of the Black Dragon King."

Occupying two places, the name carries the word "king".

This is to usurp the king, right?

Even if you are overseas, if you want to establish a system and become king, you have to ask the Great Wei for title.

In fact, for Da Wei, this matter is very easy to handle.

Just wait.

Overseas disputes have always been ended by the above-mentioned invitations.

Presumably this time will be no exception.

Wei Wenwu still has a sense of superiority over this.

After all, the Kingdom of Heaven was not sealed by itself.

It is the common recognition of all vassals!

"They warned the Wa country that if there is any suspected act of aggression, they will definitely let them go to the sea!"

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who were still immersed in the sense of superiority just now, were surprised.

An overseas thief king, who just won a small war, uttered such arrogant words?
Should it be said that he is domineering, or should it be said that he is overconfident?
Dare to say such a thing, it is almost a declaration of war on the entire Wa country!

After all, everyone knows that the Japanese country cannot control the Japanese pirates.

But compared to the small overseas countries, it is still a behemoth!

However, what happened to the Little Liuqiu Kingdom was indeed done by the Wa Kingdom.

Therefore, the Black Dragon King warned the Wa Kingdom and did not warn the wrong people.

By doing this, Feng Yibo naturally reserved the possibility of sending troops to Japan at any time.

Suspected acts of looting, you can find a bunch of them casually.

Fighting against Japan has always been in his future plans!
After the Minister of Attendance read out, Emperor Jingshun first asked according to the procedure:

"My dear friends, do you have a good plan for this?"

These news are all sorted out by the Ministry of Rites from overseas news.

This is the first time that many ministers have heard of this.

For a while, discussions arose in the hall.

After a while, Emperor Jingshun glanced at the palace servants around him.

The palace man immediately said loudly: "Do you have a good plan?"

At this time, a person stepped forward, bowed to Majesty Dan, and asked:
"I would like to ask, after this person occupies Liuqiu and Xiaoliuqiu, will he establish a country, and will the system become king?"

This person is Feng Yibo's former colleague, Zou Yiming, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

Generally speaking, the court will have nothing to do with them.

Because Hanlin was originally equivalent to the emperor's secretary and advisor.

If the emperor had anything he didn't understand, he would ask them first.

This time Emperor Jingshun publicly asked about policies, so all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty could speak.

Zou Yiming obviously didn't want to let go of the opportunity to show his face, so he was the first to come out.

Just like his name, he always wants to be a blockbuster.

Hearing his question, an official from the Ministry of Rites immediately stepped forward and replied:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the people who came from Xiaoliuqiu, this person has not publicly announced the founding of the country, nor has he established a feudal system."

Speaking of this, the man hesitated for a moment, and added:

"As for being king, according to Little Liuqiu, the Black Dragon King is his f..."

The man obviously wanted to say bandits, but felt it was indecent, hesitated for a moment, then changed his words:

"nickname."

This person is an official from the Ministry of Rites, so naturally he is Feng Yibo's current colleague.

His name is Liu Xinsuo, and he was in charge of the Xiaoliuqiu Mission before.

It was also because of this that Xiao Liuqiu was involved in this incident, and he was still in charge of it as usual.

"You say that the Black Dragon King is not considered king, then the other party declares to occupy two places and combine them into one, collectively called Liuqiu."

Zou Yiming looked at Liu Xinsuo, cupped his hands and asked:

"Does this count as a country name?"

Liu Xinsuo shook his head when he heard the words, obviously he had also read the information, and said:
"The name Liuqiu has existed since ancient times, and the name existed in the Sui Dynasty, so it is not considered a country name."

It's not that he speaks for Feng Yibo, but that Liu Xinsuo is afraid.

What he was afraid of was that he was responsible for this matter!

It would be fine if the Black Dragon King had already submitted the letter, he would definitely be unable to avoid it and would go overseas.

But now the Black Dragon King didn't ask for a seal, so naturally he could delay it.

Maybe there is a turnaround before then.

For example, start walking immediately, adjust positions or something.

If the Black Dragon King Jianguo became the king, then even if he didn't ask for a title, someone might have to go on an envoy.

Therefore, Liu Xinsuo had been prepared for a long time, and argued hard for it.

On the contrary, Zou Yiming was betting on the ambition of the Black Dragon King.

If he analyzes that the other party is Jianguo and becomes the king, when the other party really makes a move, he can use this to make a big splash.

Feng Yibo's old and new colleagues come and go in front of the palace.

The debate on whether the Black Dragon King is considered to be the founding of the country has begun.

Zou Yiming first analyzed: "Could it be overseas barbarians, the Black Dragon King Kong has the heart to build a country, but he doesn't know how to build a country?"

This is paving the way for the ambition of the Black Dragon King!
Liu Xinsuo immediately shook his head and said:
"This person is rumored to be from Great Wei, but no one knows his true identity, and he himself has never shown himself. Two women helped him deal with everything."

These are all rumors and have not been confirmed, so he did not write them on the memorial.

Speaking of it now, his eyes lit up.

It seems to have found its way.

"One is called Black Dragon Po, and the other is called Black Phoenix."

Speaking of this, Liu Xinsuo smiled and analyzed:
"Look, the Black Dragon King also has such a name, and it sounds like a bandit."

Liu Xinsuo thought he was looking in the right direction, but Zou Yiming ignored the words behind and grasped the words in front about the Black Dragon King's origin in Wei.

"Then the people under him are also the people of Great Wei?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xinsuo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so he could only whisper:

"It is said that they are all immigrants from overseas, right?"

Now it was Zou Yiming's turn to be proud.

He suddenly felt that he had a direction.

At that moment, he fell in front of Majesty Dan and shouted:
"My lord, I heard that this person was originally a citizen of our Great Wei, but now he is pretending to be a ghost overseas, and even bewitching the coastal people to go to sea with him!"

"He first stole the data and ran it quietly, and now he borrows mythological characters to provoke overseas and seize the vassals of the Great Wei!"

"He has been operating overseas for many years, obviously immigrated overseas, and made friends with newcomers on a large scale."

"Now that he is occupying the Little Liuqiu Kingdom by force, it can be seen that his ambition is not small, and the Great Wei has to guard against it!"

With this pile of hats on, Feng Yibo felt a little heavy.

But think about it.

Zou Yiming said the same thing.

It's a pity that neither Emperor Jingshun nor Zhang Songyue.

They looked at each other, but they didn't say yes or no.

Obviously, he didn't pay much attention to Zou Yiming's words.

Just take it as a scholar's words.

At this time, Liu Xinsuo also fell in front of Majesty Dan in order not to go abroad for himself, and said loudly:
"Bachelor Zou is dedicated to the country, but it's a bit exaggerated!"

"I feel that this so-called Black Dragon King is nothing more than a sea merchant from the Great Wei."

"It is rumored that he has a deep blood feud with the Japanese pirates, so he always makes things difficult for the Japanese country, and has never done any disadvantage to Wei."

"Even cooperated with Quanzhou Weishui Division to encircle and suppress Japanese pirates many times."

These are what people from Xiaoliuqiu said, but they can't be sure, they just say they are rumors.

At this time, Liu Xinsuo didn't care about these things, so he said it directly.

Hearing this, Feng Yibo frowned.

Fortunately, no one jumped out to identify him, otherwise it would be a bad end.

Emperor Jingshun didn't know if it was acceptable or not after hearing the two people's statements, but looked to the side and said:
"How does the teacher feel?"

The sooner Zhang Song knew that the ball would eventually be kicked, he immediately stepped forward and said:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't know much about overseas affairs."

Having said that, he changed the subject and said:
"However, Feng Langzhong handled Fransya's incident a while ago very well."

Speaking of this, he turned around and looked behind, saying:

"Feng Langzhong, since you specialize in overseas affairs, you can also talk about the little Liuqiu matter."

When Feng Yibo heard the roll call, he immediately went out to salute.

Zhang Songyue smiled and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Feng Yibo was not modest either, and said with a smile: "The disciple has an idea."

"Oh?"

Zhang Songyue was a little surprised.

Originally, he was just making things difficult for Feng Yibo a little, to beat him.

Let him know his dissatisfaction.

Unexpectedly, he was still brazen.

Say there is a way.

At that moment, Zhang Songyue said with a smile: "You might as well tell the emperor to listen."

"The disciple feels that since the Black Dragon King of the East China Sea was able to repel and invade the Wa Kingdom in Xiaoliuqiu, he has never invaded our Great Wei."

"It can be seen that it has certain strength overseas and is friendly to our Great Wei."

When Feng Yibo opened his mouth, he looked like he was concerned about the country and the people, and he never left our Great Wei.

"Although our Great Wei disdains the affairs of a small overseas country, if someone can protect the sea and territory for us, why not do it?"

"So, what I want to say is, can we Da Wei take the initiative to appease this Black Dragon King?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xinsuo gritted his teeth.

He felt that Feng Yibo was hurting him.

However, what he didn't know was.

This is Feng Yibo's plan!

He wants to take the opportunity to establish a country overseas!

And was recognized by the Great Wei, became a vassal of the Great Wei, and reached a tributary relationship.

"In this way, there are people who are opposed to the Japanese country in the sea, and the troubles of the Japanese pirates can be relieved!"

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo saluted and said:
"My minister, Feng Yuan, is highly valued by the sage, and he is the chief guest of the Ministry of Rites, the doctor of the Qing officials, and concurrently serves as the You Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, specializing in overseas affairs."

Taking out his duties, he did his part, Feng Yibo said directly:

"I am willing to go to the East China Sea on behalf of the Holy One to appease this Black Dragon King!"

It turned out that Feng Yibo dared to let someone take Xiaoliuqiu. Apart from following the trend, he had other ideas to do.

That is to give the vest of "Black Dragon King" an official identity!

If someone else came forward about this matter, there would inevitably be a risk of exposure.

But for him to comfort himself, there is too much room for maneuver.

And with his position, it is logical to go to the East China Sea as an envoy.

In addition, he has long wanted to go.

After a field inspection, some adjustments and amendments were made to the management system.

At the same time, according to the actual situation, formulate the next expansion plan.

It is also for the future, leaving a stable back road.

"Ai Qing really has the courage to do things!"
