Ming Zuo

Chapter 1210 Entering Ryukyu
Monetary policy is related to the fate of the country, so we must not be careless.

Although Zuo Menggeng has a novel idea, how to implement it will definitely need to be discussed in detail by the center, and multiple plans must be made based on various situations.

It will take at least several years for the day when it can be implemented.

Zuo Menggeng couldn't spend all his time in Songjiang Mansion, nor could he waste time on such government affairs.

He and Wang Siyi continued to set off from Songjiang Mansion to inspect the new territory.

At Waigaoqiao Wharf, Mrs. Gu was very dissatisfied with their departure.Hugging her granddaughter, she kept nagging.

"It's hard to come here a few times, so what if you stay a few more days? Oh my dear baby, when will grandma see you again?"

Zuo Xuanyan is also very close to this grandma, hugging her tightly.

"Grandma and I will go."

Gu Shi could only wipe away tears.

"Grandma is old and can't walk anymore. Good grandson, come back to see grandma more often, do you hear me?"

Zuo Xuanyan didn't understand too many emotions, so she just shook her head blankly.

For her departure, Xu Erjue and the others were greatly relieved.

"Zhongheng, you girl doesn't look like my sister at all. It's only been a few days, which child in the family hasn't been beaten by her?"

Xu Erjue felt lingering fear when he thought of his own son crying and howling like ghosts and wolves.

For this, Zuo Menggeng could only apologize.

"Hey, there is a girl in my family who has just grown up, and she is powerful and powerful, so please forgive me."

Everyone around them felt dizzy as if they had been hit hard.

Xu Ji laughed angrily.

"Is that how ancient poems are used?"

But after thinking about it again, I found that Zuo Menggeng's evaluation was really correct.

Qu Yin shook his head.

"My family has a young girl, what's the next sentence?"

Everyone was stunned, and then they suddenly realized that the only thing that came back to their minds was "Strengthening the mountain and overwhelming the world", and they didn't remember what the original work was at all.

His Royal Highness King Xia ruined the big guy's years of hard study with a single word.

Wang Siyi didn't stop laughing all the way to the boat, and while comforting her daughter, she became curious.

"Where did you come up with this crooked way? How can this be connected?"

Zuo Menggeng curled his lips, thinking that you have never seen the power of netizens in later generations.

They boarded the ship from Waigaoqiao and were going to Zhoushan Islands.

The North Sea Fleet is stationed here, a Tier [-] battleship of Yishui.

The latest warships launched by Qingdao Shipyard are all allocated to the North Sea Fleet.All of a sudden, the combat effectiveness of the two major fleets was evenly matched.

In addition to the North Sea Fleet, there are hundreds of transport ships.

It carried the ninth and tenth regiments of the third marine division.

Their destination is Ryukyu.

After the defeat of the Tokugawa shogunate, they happily gave up Ryukyu and withdrew everyone back.

Next, it was time for Xia Guo to receive Ryukyu.

That King Shangfeng finally sensed the danger, and hastily sent envoys to the Kingdom of Xia, hoping to regain his title as a minister.

But Xia Guo has major strategic considerations for Ryukyu, how can he let it go lightly?
Marching into Ryukyu and occupying it, and incorporating Ryukyu into Chinese territory, is the task of the North Sea Fleet and the Third Marine Division.

"Your Highness, will we be the people of China in the future...?"

An Ran and Lin Jiahui are also on board, and they will serve as guides to help the army move.

An Ran's question was very straightforward, with the simplicity unique to Ryukyu people.

"Then do you like being a citizen of China?"

Zuo Menggeng asked back.

An Ran nodded heavily, her eyes were full of joy.

"We Ryukyu people always want to be citizens of Shangguo in our dreams. Especially after the Dongying people came, we hoped day and night, hoping that the heavenly soldiers of Shangguo would rescue us. From now on, we will be citizens of Shangguo, and we will no longer be afraid of being attacked. Bullied."

There are not many real aborigines in Ryukyu. Many of them immigrated from the middle land, and they already have a deep local plot.

In addition, for thousands of years, the Central Plains Dynasty has shown great benevolence and righteousness to Ryukyu, and responded to every request, so the Ryukyu people are full of admiration for Shangguo.

This time they were invaded by Japan and oppressed, and they looked forward to the salvation of the upper kingdom even more.

It can be said that if Xia Guo really brought Ryukyu into its territory, the people of Ryukyu would only celebrate and would never resist.

The people's hearts are available, which makes Zuo Menggeng very happy.

The huge fleet departed from Songjiang Mansion and arrived at Zhoushan Islands first.

This place is now the territory of Xia Kingdom, and it is set as Zhoushan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture.

The county magistrate of Zhoushan is Chen Hanhui, who studied under Huang Daozhou when he was young.Later, he was summoned by his mentor and went to Xia Guo.Starting from the grassroots officials, step by step, plus being from Zhejiang, he is familiar with the local conditions of the township, so he was transferred to serve as the county magistrate.

"Your Highness, the folks here in Zhejiang have a wish to come to Zhoushan for trade. If it works well, it can communicate with other parts of Zhejiang. As long as the people here feel the benefits of our Xia Kingdom, I am afraid that they will go smoothly when they enter Zhejiang. Quite a few."

For Chen Hanhui's idea, Zuo Menggeng admired it very much.

"That's what the Central Committee transferred you to serve as the county magistrate. Don't worry about it, and do it freely. If the local government in Zhejiang obstructs it, you can ask the local garrison to talk to them."

Chen Hanhui smiled knowingly, no longer worried.

Zuo Menggeng and the Beihai Fleet parted ways in Zhoushan.

Zhang Keda, Huang Fei and others marched eastward to Ryukyu.Zuo Menggeng came all the way to Kinmen Island under the escort of the four battleships repaired by the East China Sea Fleet.

Xia Guo occupied the Zhoushan Islands and Kinmen Island with the same purpose.

That is to take advantage of the convenience of the two places being close to the mainland, and start to infiltrate Zhejiang and Fujian, planning for future unification.

Compared with Zhoushan, Kinmen Island has made great progress because of the help of local businessmen in Fujian.

"Look, Your Highness, businessmen from all over the world come here to trade. Now everyone in the southeast knows that Jinmen Island is a good place to make money. Hmph, even the government has many people joining it."

Chen Ding accompanied Zuo Menggeng to inspect the situation of Kinmen Island, and his words were full of joy.

Since cooperating with Xia Guo, the income is more than ten times that of before.I don't know what others think, anyway, Chen Ding intends to follow Xia Guo completely.

"Everyone gathers firewood with great enthusiasm. He is tolerant and tolerant. As long as he comes to do business in good faith, we don't ask his identity and treat him equally. Fujian has been poor for so long, and it is only natural that we can do something for the villagers."

Everyone in Fujian was moved by Zuo Menggeng's open words, and they became more determined.

Fujian is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the capital, and the imperial court's influence here is inherently weak.

Regarding the situation on Kinmen Island, the Fujian government directly turned a blind eye to it.

Many people on the land near Kinmen Island went to Kinmen Island to make a living.

Come to work in the morning, and go back to rest at sunset.

The government knew it and didn't care, but because everyone had a job and money, the countryside was much more peaceful.

It can be said that the entire Kinmen Island is like a paradise, and it has also become a holy place nearby.
