Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 95

"Mingjian, the envoy of the Celestial Dynasty, how can I, King Shangfeng, be able to harm the people? The Japanese pirates are too rampant. We have only a thousand soldiers in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and we don't even have firearms. How can we resist them?" Poor Shangfeng Wang lay on the ground and wept loudly.

Originally, he had hoped that after Daming drove away the Dongying people, he would be able to become the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom again, but now he simply doesn't even have the throne.

"Embrace King Shangfeng to the ship, and order all the members of the Ryukyu royal family to prepare their luggage within one day, board the ship the next day, and go to Jinzhou with King Shangfeng." Aila asked the soldiers to escort King Shangfeng to the ship.

"What are you going to do to me? Our Shang family is the King of the Ryukyu canonized by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. It's not your turn to depose me!" King Shang Feng struggled and was dragged up by the soldiers.

The ministers of the Ryukyu Kingdom witnessed their king being taken away by the Ming army in horror, but they dared not say a word.The Dongying people have taught them how to behave in the past ten years, and now there is a character who is more ruthless than the Dongying people, they are afraid!

"All the ministers still perform their own duties. Our Ming officials will help you establish a new management system. But all the people of the Ryukyu Guard will be treated equally by our Fu Liao Army. We will also set up private schools and build factories here to make Ryukyu Wei has become a trading center in the East China Sea." Ella said, "The Ryukyu Wei does not need to pay tribute every year, and pays taxes according to the Ming tax law."

Anxiously listening to the translator translate Ella's words into Ryukyu, the Ryukyu officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that their status and power have not changed. Isn't this great news.

After the Ming army came to the Ryukyu Kingdom, the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom felt very complicated.The Ming army captured their king, and then detained all the royal family on the warship, unilaterally declaring the Ryukyu Kingdom to die.This made them very angry, after all, this is the dynasty that ruled them for two or three hundred years.However, the Ming Dynasty directly brought the Ryukyu Islands under its jurisdiction and treated them the same as the people of the Ming Dynasty. This made Ryukyu, who had always respected the Ming Dynasty, feel that this was a good opportunity to get rid of his "barbarian" status and formally join this great dynasty.

"The Ming army has an order. From now on, we don't have to pay tribute every year, and we will reduce taxes to [-]% every month. We will set up three private schools within half a year, build shipyards, fishing grounds, etc." Officials from the Ryukyu Kingdom personally went to The people publicized the management philosophy of the Liao Army in order to show their performance in front of the new master.

The people of the Ryukyu Kingdom heard that they only need to pay much less tax than before, and the balance in their hearts began to tilt towards Daming. From today onwards, they are the people of Daming.

The entire Ryukyu Kingdom has entered a new state, officials are doing their own thing, and the people are waiting for new reforms. Only the Shang family as the king is the most unlucky.King Shangfeng's concubines and children were taken away by Ming soldiers. They had been looted by the Dongying people for many years. They didn't have any extra gold, silver and jewelry at all. They packed up some clothes and left with almost nothing.Also a miserable king.

Since he insisted on turning the Ryukyu Kingdom into a guard like the Ryukyu Guard, it is impossible for Chu Yun to allow the existence of the Ryukyu Guard and the king. Instead, civil servants should be used to govern the Ryukyu Guard.

The Ryukyu king was captured, and the civil servants who followed the fleet began to reform the Ryukyu guard system with the help of the local people who knew Chinese.The Ryukyu Guard is relatively low in civilization at this time, and it is far from the ordinary villages and towns of the Ming Dynasty. It is indeed a big time-consuming task to spread the advanced experience of the Liao Army to tens of hundreds of islands in the Ryukyu Guard. project.At present, it is planned to take the lead in carrying out reforms in the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In addition to the civil servants who came with the ship, there were also four large merchant ships from Dalian Port, carrying goods from southern Liaoning.After the Ryukyu royal family was under control, the merchants on the four large merchant ships opened a market at the port to sell the most exquisite silk, the highest quality tea, and the most sophisticated ironware of the Ming Dynasty to the people of the Ryukyu Guard.

Maybe the tax cut wasn't enough to shock the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but when they saw Ming's products, they were really shocked!Boxes of goods that cannot be seen in the Ryukyu country were carried off the ship, and the eyes of the Ryukyu people onlookers lit up the moment they were opened!Moreover, this group of shrewd businessmen of Ming Dynasty also used a lot of money to buy rare treasures and resources on Ryukyu Island!

In addition, some more far-sighted businessmen have seen the business opportunities here, and have already begun to recruit people locally, paying high prices.An ordinary worker gets two taels of silver a month, and can also take a day off every seven days.At this time, the most popular people are the Ryukyu people who understand Chinese. These people may have gone to Daming to study abroad, or asked others for Chinese, and were hired by the Ming merchants to communicate with the people here. Everyone was stuffed by the Daming merchants. The big silver ingot made them laugh from ear to ear.

With the arrival of the Ming merchant ship, news spread to all directions, and the islands in the north and south knew that the Ryukyu Kingdom was no longer the former Ryukyu Kingdom, but the Ryukyu Guard of the Ming Dynasty.Moreover, the Ming merchant ship, which had not been seen for a long time, came to Ryukyu again, and opened up trade at Naha Tomari Port, recruited workers, and prepared to set up a new factory.So some thoughtful islanders from the north and south islands traveled across the sea by boat to witness this grand event.Especially those big local families in the north and south islands all wanted to curry favor with the officers of the coming Ming Fleet, and wanted to be guests of the Liao Army.

"What does the so-called Liao army of the Ming Dynasty want to do to me? I am the Ryukyu King personally conferred by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty knows..." King Shangfeng still struggled unwillingly.

The women, children and children of King Shangfeng's family were crying in the cabin.

"So what if the Emperor of Ming knows? Daming is no longer what it used to be. Daming needs to rely on us to restore the Liao Army, and it won't be affected by the rise and fall of a small kingdom in your Ryukyu Kingdom." Deng Qianlong, acting fleet commander, said to King Shangfeng, "You will understand when you come to the deck with me."

After Wang Shangfeng and Deng Qianlong arrived on the deck, they looked down at the crude port and found that there were already 3000 or 30 Ryukyu people gathered in the port.Perhaps there has not been such a prosperous world in the past two or three decades.

"According to our military leader's words, this place will become a trade transfer station, a holy place for tourism and culture, and a land of fish and rice in the future. At that time, this place will prosper and prosper, and it will no longer be wild. Do you still think what we did was wrong?" Deng Qianlong said with a big hand Said passionately towards the Ryukyu Islands scattered like pearls in the East China Sea.

King Shangfeng supported the wooden railing and looked down, his eyes were a little confused.
