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

Chapter 612: Excited Ryukyu People
"Let's do this according to your wishes."

"You arrange for an envoy to go to Ryukyu to meet with the generals of the Tang Kingdom and find out what their purpose is."

"Besides that, mobilize all forces and prepare."

"If the Tang army really comes to attack, mobilize all forces to fight back."

"If we can defeat the Tang army in one battle, then we won't have to worry so much about the Tang Kingdom in the future."

Speaking of this.

There was even a sense of déjà vu in Xiaosong's eyes as if something was about to happen.

He seemed to have imagined how powerful his Japanese army would be if he could really defeat the Tang army. The myth of the invincibility of the Tang in his mind would also become empty.

"I accept the order of His Majesty the Emperor."

"This time, I will make sure to find out all of Tang's intentions." Inukai Shio replied immediately.

"Go do it."

"I believe in you, my dear." Hou Xiaosong nodded.

……

Ryukyu Kingdom.

In the capital city.

As the largest city in Ryukyu, it is home to almost 60% of Ryukyu's population, with a population of more than 100,000.

With the arrival of the Tang Emperor.

It also made the capital of this small country unprecedentedly lively.

It attracted people from all over Ryukyu, who all wanted to see the emperor of the Celestial Empire with their own eyes.

"Quick, His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire is in the Imperial City. Your Majesty has an imperial decree from the Celestial Empire to announce."

"Ryukyu is just a small country. If it weren't for the protection of the Great Tang Dynasty, we would have been conquered by Japan long ago. We Ryukyu people should be grateful to His Majesty."

"Yes."

"Go quickly and listen to the Holy Word."

today.

Many people first found a good place outside the capital to gather, and it was very lively.

One reason is that he wants to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is to know what this vast decree is.

"emperor."

"When the people of Ryukyu heard that the emperor was coming to the capital, they were all very excited and wanted to see the emperor in person."

On the city wall, the Ryukyu King stood beside Li Zheng and said with a smile.

"I am also very pleased to have such a reputation in Ryukyu." Li Zheng smiled.

This is what it means to be grateful to the Ryukyu Kingdom.

They knew clearly why his small Ryukyu Kingdom still existed, it was all because of the protection of the Tang Dynasty.

Apart from that.

Nothing else.

In this seemingly peaceful world, the living space for small countries is extremely small. They are either swallowed up by big countries or completely disappear.

The previous generation of Ryukyu king chose the right path, which was to be subordinate to the Tang Dynasty. Now the third generation of Ryukyu king has chosen a more correct path for Ryukyu, which is to be completely subordinate to the Tang Dynasty and become a true vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

Under the capital.

outside the city.

Countless Ryukyu people gathered here.

The Ryukyu soldiers were also maintaining order, and countless people were looking fanatically at the figure above the imperial city.

When they saw Li Zheng, the young and majestic emperor of the Celestial Empire, they were even more excited and cheered loudly.

At this time.

Li Zheng spoke up, "Announce it!"

"I accept the decree."

The King of Ryukyu respectfully accepted the order.

Subsequently.

The Ryukyu King stepped forward, raised his hands, and pressed them down.

All the Ryukyu people outside the city fell silent, which showed that the Ryukyu king had a high status in the hearts of his people.

"My people of Ryukyu."

"The man beside me is the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty, and also the Emperor of my Ryukyu people."

"Now listen to my orders."

"Paying homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."

The Ryukyu King said loudly.

echoed.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven." "May His Majesty live long and long."

Hundreds of thousands of Ryukyu people outside the city all knelt down and shouted in unison.

See this scene.

Li Zheng was also very emotional.

In this foreign land, the people actually showed such respect and support to me.

This is the only one outside the Tang Dynasty.

"Be flat."

Li Zheng also spoke at this time.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven for your grace."

Countless people shouted.

Everyone looked at the figure on the city wall with reverence.

"My people of Ryukyu."

"Yesterday was the most dangerous day for my Ryukyu. The Japanese are unjust and have repeatedly oppressed me. Yesterday, they even wanted to raise an army to force my Ryukyu to submit to them. I had decided to die rather than obey them, but the heavens have eyes and the Celestial Empire has blessed me."

"Yesterday."

"His Majesty the Emperor has brought the navy of the Tang Dynasty to kill all those rampant Japanese."

"We can protect Ryukyu."

"and."

"Today, I have good news to tell you."

"His Majesty the Emperor has granted Ryukyu a new choice, allowing Ryukyu to become a true vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."

"This king has accepted the title bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor."

"From now on."

"There will be Tang Dynasty troops stationed in Ryukyu to protect the people of Ryukyu."

"Except."

"In the future, the Tang Dynasty will directly open up a shipping route between Ryukyu and the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and start traveling around. In the future, there will be a steady stream of Tang compatriots coming to Ryukyu to travel around. At that time, all kinds of aquatic products from Ryukyu will be purchased by Tang compatriots. In addition, a direct trade route to the Tang Dynasty has been opened up. In the future, merchants from Ryukyu can also go to the Tang Dynasty to do business, just like the people in the Tang Empire. In the future, we will also be the real people of the Tang Dynasty."

"We will live better and more prosperously in the future."

"Besides that, we don't have to worry about those damn Japanese anymore."

"With the Tang Dynasty's army here, they will never have the chance to bully us again." The Ryukyu King said excitedly.

Hear this.

Many people had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

What did they hear?
Is Ryukyu going to become a true vassal state of the Tang Dynasty?
Become a true citizen of the Tang Dynasty?
For them.

For ordinary people, what they want most is peace.

But they were a small country and had no choice. Their only outcome was to be annexed. When they were bullied by the Japanese, they even thought about joining the Tang Dynasty directly, but the Tang Dynasty did not want them to.

But now.

The Tang Dynasty seemed to accept them.

Will they also be citizens of the Tang Dynasty in the future?
"I know you are happy, cheer."

"From now on, we Ryukyu people will also be part of the Tang Empire."

"From now on, the Ryukyu people will no longer be bullied by the Japanese."

"Cheer up."

The Ryukyu King laughed and raised his hands high.

This sound fell.

Countless excited Ryukyu people could no longer hold back.

"Long live the Great Tang Dynasty."

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor..."

Countless people cheered loudly, and each of them was grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Under this loud call.

The King of Ryukyu also looked at Li Zheng with great awe.

For him, it was naturally clear that Li Zheng's acceptance of his Ryukyu Kingdom as a vassal state was definitely a gift.

If Li Zheng wanted to, he could have directly annexed and enslaved Ryukyu. He didn't have the DNA, and there was no point in enslaving such a small island country. It had no resources and no population. There was nothing worthy of the Tang Dynasty's attention.

However, Li Zheng still showed his favor and allowed Ryukyu to be incorporated into the Tang Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

This kindness deserves to be remembered by the King of Ryukyu and all the people of Ryukyu.
