Chapter 122 Monopoly

The meaning in Shan Meixian's words is not complete or true, and it is quite secretive.

But this is not to blame for her hesitation in speaking, it is really because the Dongming faction has a special status in Zhongshan. It is a kind of state religion, which has been integrated into Zhongshan in theory. It is deeply bound to this country and cannot be separated from it.

But now the Ryukyu Island has been occupied by Chu Tianxiu, and the Zhongshan Kingdom has been destroyed, so even if Shan Meixian just wants to protect herself, she has to be cheeky and find a way to forcibly separate from this country.

As Shan Meixian said, Ryukyu Island is indeed a small place, but it is small, but because of its special geographical location, it has become an important node in the Central Plains for ocean trade. The kind that cannot be avoided.

Therefore, during the Ming and Qing dynasties in the future, Ryukyu Island became a transit point for trade between Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, and the re-export trade flourished, earning the title of "Tianjin Liang of All Nations".

If Chu Tianxiu had not already opened a base near Keelung, adjacent to Ryukyu, it would be more convenient to go to Ryukyu via Yizhou.Then he can actually start directly from the Yangtze River, drive straight to Ryukyu, and then transfer to Dongying from there.

Monk Jianzhen in the Tianbao period traveled this land and sea, and just arrived in Dongying on his sixth eastward journey.

Therefore, compared with Yizhou Island, which has a larger land area but more difficult sea routes, the Ryukyu Island, which is smaller and farther away from the mainland, has a more developed civilization, making it clear that there are only some indigenous tribes in Yizhou, and Ryukyu The island already had the embryonic form of a country.

"So, if I'm not mistaken, when Madam first set foot on Ryukyu Island, I'm afraid she wanted to copy a Yingui sect there to prove your ability to the 'Empress of Yin', but in the end, due to a combination of circumstances, there was Today's Dongming faction."

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Tianxiu came to his senses and shook his head.

If it is said that Shan Meixian, who was born in the Yingui faction, the leader of the Demon Sect, but rebels and stands on her own, is an obedient and good girl, then I am afraid that no one will believe it.

When she first came to Ryukyu Island, she originally wanted to use this island as an experimental field to verify whether their sect's highest ideal, "Heroine Domination of the World", had some chance of success.

It's a pity that when manpower is exhausted, governing the country and governing gangs are still two different things after all.She has indeed implemented half of her ideals, but the other half of her ideals cannot be realized no matter what because she is almost alone.

It seemed like an opportunity, a pretty good one.

"In this way, if I hand over the entire Ryukyu Kingdom to Madam, will Madam have the confidence to govern this small country well? Let all the resources of this country be used by me?"

After thinking for a while, Chu Tianxiu said something casually, and threw a huge piece of pie at Mrs. Dongming's head.

Ryukyu is almost thousands of miles away from the land of the Central Plains, far overseas, and the people are not convinced. If you want to govern here according to the system of prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, it will only make the people here turn against each other and rebel endlessly, so follow the example of Qin Dynasty In the previous enfeoffment system, it was a better choice to entrust this piece of land.

This and the olive branch thrown by Chu Tianxiu not only did not make Shan Meixian feel happy, but instead made her extremely vigilant.

A veteran like her naturally knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.If Chu Tianxiu's face is fierce and harsh at this moment, then even though her Dongming faction will be cut and bloodletted, there is a possibility of her surviving.But if Chu Tianxiu has such an attitude, it can only prove that he has greater ambitions and wants more things.

"After I established the Dongming faction and began to gradually conduct arms trade with the Central Plains, at least one-twelfth of the population in Zhongshan was either blacksmithing or shipbuilding, and they were already closely related to my Dongming faction, and no one was even able to trade with the Central Plains. To escape the influence of my Dongming faction, I dare not say anything about Nanshan and Beishan. But if you only talk about the land of Zhongshan, as long as you have the support of your son, I will naturally help you to completely control it."

Mrs. Dongming knew that this was the time to prove her bargaining chip, so she didn't dare to cover up, and directly exposed all her family background, and told Chu Tianxiu all of it.

If this is the case, then the power of the Dongming faction is much stronger than what I imagined.If one considers the current situation of the small country on Ryukyu Island with few people, and the reputation of the Dongming faction as the number one weapon in the Central Plains, it is not difficult to imagine that the lifeblood of that Zhongshan country is almost completely in the hands of Mrs. Dongming.

"If that's the case, then if Madam doesn't dislike it, why don't you and my two families get married together, turning the conflict into jade and accomplishing a beautiful thing, and how about this Ryukyu Kingdom as a betrothal gift?"

Chu Tianxiu's heart moved, and she couldn't help but tentatively said.

Today's Dongming faction is indeed a little weaker, but its foundation is really good.With Chu Tianxiu's temperament, it's okay not to know the inside story of it, but now that he knows it, how can he be willing to destroy it?
"What are you talking about? You disciple, I would rather die than marry you!"

Shan Wanjing, who was standing by the side, was furious when she heard the words, and she just ignored it and shouted loudly.

"Wanjing, shut up!"

Shan Meixian was rarely angry, looked at Shan Wanjing, and stopped her next words.

Don't think Shan Meixian's tone is tough, but in essence, what she is doing now is just bargaining, trying to sell their mother and daughter and the Dongming faction for a good price.

But after she wanted to speak a few words of scolding, she saw her daughter's angry expression, but the words of scolding were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything, she immediately softened her heart.

Mother and daughter are united, even though Shan Wanjing is a douchebag who can't be supported in government affairs besides being talented in martial arts, she still has to grit her teeth and forcefully help her up.

"Leader Chu, it's my daughter's honor that you can see my daughter. However, my daughter has an engagement with Shang Ming of Dongming faction, and we will get married soon, but I can only live up to your high expectations."

Shan Meixian bit her lip lightly, and said softly, revealing a bit of weakness and pitifulness in her voice.

"You said Wanjing has a marriage contract? Could it be that at this time, Madam still abides by the marriage contract with the Shang family? I don't want Madam to make such a promise, and Chu admires it very much." Chu Tianxiu said in surprise.

Shan Wanjing did have a marriage contract, even though Shan Meixian had high martial arts and extraordinary means, when she first came to Ryukyu, it was because of her relationship with her mother that she had completely broken with her mother, Zhu Yuyan, and she was alone. A baby in swaddling clothes.

That's why she had no choice but to use a combination of vertical and horizontal means to marry the Shang family on the island, so as to gain the full support of the Shang family, and just now established the foundation of the Dongming Sect and had a place to live.

Strictly speaking, it is precisely because of the existence of this marriage contract that the Shang and Shan surnames can form an unbreakable alliance. After all, from a long-term perspective, this marriage contract is beneficial to both families.

But now Ryukyu has been occupied by him, and Shang's surname has become a rootless apple. If Shan Meixian still insists on this marriage contract with his children, isn't it too pedantic?
However, this is also a good thing.

If Shan Wanjing still insists on marrying the Shang family, then if she is used as the princess of Ryukyu in the future, at least to a certain extent, the rebellious mood of the Ryukyu Shang surname will be reduced.

The slightly funny thing is that Shan Wanjing feels a little better about herself.She didn't even think about it carefully, with her appearance, talent, and talent, is it worth Chu Tianxiu taking out the whole Ryukyu to marry her?
Even if it's only a third of Ryukyu, she's not worth the price!
