I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 610: Reclaiming the Ryukyu Kingdom

"In fact, I can give you a better choice now."

"I promise that you will live a safe and secure life in Ryukyu."

"But what choices does the emperor have?" asked the Ryukyu King curiously.

"It will become a true vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. All currency will be the same as the Tang Dynasty's. Only government officials will be established in the country, not an army."

"Pay 70% of the tribute to the Tang Dynasty treasury, and 30% will go to your royal family and official expenses." Li Zheng said to the King of Ryukyu.

"I am willing."

The King of Ryukyu agreed without any hesitation.

"Would you like to consider it?" Li Zheng smiled slightly.

Li Zheng was stunned by the speed at which the King of Ryukyu agreed.

"I will not consider it. I will obey the emperor."

"If you can protect the Ryukyu Kingdom from war, I can comfort the late king even if I die."

"Moreover, I believe that the emperor will never treat my Ryukyu unfairly." The Ryukyu King said immediately.

"You're right."

"I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"And it is a kind of execution on your Ryukyu."

"Give those vassal states that are loyal to the Tang Dynasty a treaty of favor."

"After Ryukyu becomes a true vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, you will not have an army, but you will still be the king. The Tang Dynasty will set up a naval camp in Ryukyu with at least 10,000 troops stationed there to protect Ryukyu."

Secondly, once Ryukyu becomes a true vassal state of my hall, I can open up the right of the Tang Dynasty to travel to Ryukyu and bring income to Ryukyu. "

"At the same time, we will also allow Ryukyu's various aquatic products to be sold in our Tang Dynasty."

"By then, there will be a steady stream of Ryukyu sailors, several times or even dozens of times more than the taxes you collect now." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness in giving me Ryukyu."

"I am deeply grateful, and so are hundreds of thousands of Ryukyu people."

The Ryukyu King knelt directly on the ground, extremely excited.

He could hear a sense of expectation in Li Zheng's words.

For Ryukyu, this is undoubtedly the best choice.

With the real protection from the Tang Dynasty, there will be no more wars.

"Zhao Ming."

"Draft a letter of credence."

Li Zheng turned his head and said to Zhao Mingdao.

"I accept the decree."

Zhao Ming immediately called his attendants and took out a blank imperial edict.

soon.

Drafted by Zhao Ming, this blank imperial edict already stated the Ryukyu Kingdom's status as a vassal state, making it a true vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

And in duplicate.

"Your Majesty, it has been drafted."

Zhao Ming respectfully presented the imperial edict to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng took it and took a look.

He cursed out the imperial seal and covered it up.

"If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life."

But see these eight big words.

The Ryukyu King was shocked.

"emperor."

"Have you recovered the imperial seal from the pre-Qin period?" the King of Ryukyu asked respectfully.

In fact, the Ryukyu people were originally the Yanhuang ethnic group. They originated in the pre-Qin period and came to the Ryukyu Islands to live.

He has been influenced by the Yanhuang Dynasty since ancient times. How could he not know about the imperial seal?

"Ah."

Li Zheng nodded.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." "The Imperial Seal is the true symbol of the emperor. It is a blessing from heaven that Your Majesty has obtained this seal." The King of Ryukyu said excitedly.

"Take out your Ryukyu seal and stamp it."

Li Zheng smiled and said to the Ryukyu King.

"I accept the decree."

The King of Ryukyu solemnly took the imperial edict and stamped it with his national seal.

After finishing.

He respectfully handed an imperial edict to Li Zheng.

"This imperial edict is for you." Li Zheng smiled and took out a copy and gave it to the King of Ryukyu.

The imperial edict was then stamped with the imperial seal.

The Ryukyu Kingdom also completely became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, no longer like the meaningless vassal state it used to be.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully gaining the surrender of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and a Xuan-level treasure chest as a reward.] The system prompt sounded.

"It seems that it's not just about destroying a country. You can also get treasure chest rewards by gaining a real vassal state." Li Zheng smiled in his heart.

For him, this was naturally what he wanted.

"In two days."

"I will lead the army to attack Japan."

"You should also hurry up and recruit your troops." Li Zheng said to the Ryukyu King.

"I obey your order." The King of Ryukyu nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, he was naturally extremely excited.

From now on, his Ryukyu Kingdom will no longer be bullied by anyone. It is equivalent to that his Ryukyu Kingdom has been incorporated into the Tang Dynasty and become a part of the Tang Dynasty.

"emperor."

"I heard that the Tang Dynasty used troops against the Shi Khanate, and now it is sending troops to deal with Japan. Isn't it against the interests of the Tang Dynasty to start a war on two fronts?" The King of Ryukyu asked tentatively.

Hearing this question.

Li Zheng smiled with relief: "Destroying Japan is in line with your Ryukyu interests, but you asked about it, which shows your loyalty to our Tang Dynasty."

"I am very pleased."

The Ryukyu King immediately replied respectfully: "If there is no Tang Dynasty today, Ryukyu will be in danger. I am afraid it will not exist in the world. Moreover, Ryukyu is already a true vassal state of Tang Dynasty and a small country under the command of Tang Dynasty. We will prosper together and suffer together."

"well said."

Li Zheng praised, and then said: "Shi Khanate, there is no need to worry, their emperor has surrendered, I have already controlled their emperor and ministers, Shi Khanate is now a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty, all under the control of my Tang Dynasty."

Hear this.

The Ryukyu King was stunned and looked at Li Zheng in shock. "Your Majesty, the territory of the Shi Khanate is said to be very vast, and their population and firearms are not weak. So it belongs to the Tang Dynasty?"

"They are strong, but is our Tang Dynasty weak?"

"They have become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, they are not as kind to me as I am to you, Ryukyu. Their taxes and everything else are harsh, and I have not sent many people to govern them. Their people still govern their people. Their firearms and weapons workshops are all under the control of the Tang Dynasty."

"Non-my family, its heart must be different."

"You, the Ryukyu, are descended from my Chinese race, and are of the same race. I will not treat you badly, but I will not be as kind to those blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners as I would to my own race."

"As the emperor of the Yanhuang ethnic group, if I treat my compatriots with the same kindness as I would treat them, but show all kinds of kindness to people of other ethnic groups, then there is something wrong with me."

Hear this.

The Ryukyu King was sincerely convinced and looked at Li Zheng, "Your Majesty treats my Ryukyu people well, and the Ryukyu people will never let your Majesty down."

"The emperor's order is the order of heaven that we Ryukyu people must follow. We Ryukyu people will never disobey it."

And this moment.

Japanese country.

Edo.

It is also the location of its capital.

ten years ago.

The small island nation of Japan was once divided into two parts, the North and the South, and had two so-called emperors.
But it was also that year.

The emperor of the Southern Dynasty handed over power to the emperor of the Northern Dynasty and implemented the unification of Japan.

Today, the one who rules the entire Japan is the Northern Emperor, Go-Komatsu.
