Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

epydz (the first day of August in the third year of Huaxia Wucheng, Ryukyu Naha

"My lord, ship," on the ship of the Ryukyu Navy that was nesting outside the port, the lookout post stared dumbfounded at the blossoming white sails in the distance, and reported incoherently, "Boat, many ships." It also sailed to the Ryukyu waters, so the Ryukyu patrol ships are no strangers to the flag of Xia Jun, but the number of sails in the distance is so amazing that even the well-informed lookout posts are surprised. "

"Let me see how many ships frighten you, an old sea dog." "" While speaking, the captain of the patrol boat quickly climbed up the mast and dived into the trickery, but the scene that rushed to his face made him feel a little nervous. Feeling at a loss, "Really, there are so many ships. Could it be that China is going to invade Ryukyu?" The suspicious captain immediately ordered, "Send a small boat back to Hong Kong to report, as for us." Flag, welcome up"

"What? More than [-] cannon boats from the Huaxia Navy sailed into Naha and berthed?" In Shuri Castle, the Ryukyu Sanjushi listened to the report in amazement, "What happened? What, according to the messenger of the Huaxia Kingdom, the army from Zhengri came back Rectify?" Several people on the throne looked at each other, and Ma Liangyun asked a little uneasy, "But the Chinese army suffered a defeat in Japan?"

"Returning to Master Fang, Boditou reported that there were no traces of battle on the Huaxia Army ship, so it doesn't look like a defeat." He Chaoliang, the Yinwei servant, reported back, "And according to the soldiers of the Xia Army who went ashore to eat piaoji, it was said that this was a big plunder. The cities along the coast of Japan were seized, hundreds of thousands of gold and silver were seized, and baskets full of copper coins were even more numerous."

"Since the victory is great, why do you want to come to Ryukyu to rectify it?" Mao Shengkan said suspiciously, "Could it be that there is something hidden in it?" Today, Ryukyu is completely sheltered under the wings of China. The country is caught in the middle of analysis, "Quickly ask the head of Naha to find out the truth"

Before He Chaoliang could leave, Weng Shengqing, who was in charge of diplomacy, quickly walked in, first saluted Ma Liangyun and the others, and then sat down and reported: "The envoy from Huaxia Kingdom has arrived in Shuri, according to the document he submitted Said that the Huaxia Navy will be in Naha for a few days, and perhaps reinforcements will arrive in the future, please sell food and water to our country."

"There are still reinforcements?" All the listeners gasped, and at this time they hadn't spoken at all, so they moved towards God Marsh "My lords, since Huaxia still has a large army coming to join us, it is obvious that Huaxia must give Japan a heavy blow." I learned this lesson, this is an opportunity for Ryukyu, I don’t know if you and I dare to make a bet.”

Mao Shengkan opened his mouth wide, and stared at Xiang Chaohu with incredulous eyes: "Master Yi Jiang, you mean that after the Ryukyu is attached to the Chinese army, send troops to follow Japan? This, this, this is too risky Well, expeditions across the sea are inherently dangerous, in case, then you and I are sinners of Ryukyu."

"I think the suggestion of Mr. Yijiang Qinfang is advisable." Ma Liangyun interrupted abruptly, "How about China's military power, you can see that Dongning has regained half of China with a corner of the country in these years. Therefore, apart from the typhoon, I think There is nothing that can stop the Xia army. As for the Tokugawa shogunate, although it is a battle to defend the land, the morale must be high, but after all, it has not been fought for decades, so how can it be compared with China? Apparently, Huaxia may not be interested in it."

"I can't see the strength of Ryukyu, so I have to try one or two on both sides of the lock," Xiang Chaohu took Ma Liangyun's words, and said his initial thoughts, "Once Huaxia opens the door to Japan, Huaxia merchants can directly contact Japan. If the trade is over, Ryukyu will be useless as a middleman in the trade between the two countries, so we must seize this opportunity to let China see the loyalty of Ryukyu, so that China can leave a way out for Ryukyu."

Mao Shengkan nodded in admiration: "The two relatives are far-sighted, and I am not as good as this official."

After sighing, Mao Shengkan's eyes fell on the face of Weng Shengqing on the side: "Master Suozhifang, you should understand the meaning of Sansi, so please try to ask Huaxia to show Ryukyu's respect for Shangguo. loyalty"

Naturally, Gong Tian's plan was not approved by the Ryukyu side. This was not because Gong Tian was aware of the other party's plan, but because the matter had already reached the level of diplomacy between the two countries. As a pure warrior, Gong Tian neither could nor dared to make affirmative response

However, the expectations of the Ryukyu side did not come to nothing. On the eighth day of August, a special envoy from the Privy Council came to Ryukyu

"Tianze, you are really courageous." As a teacher in the Jiayin period, although Yang Bokang is of the same rank as Gong Tian, ​​he is still qualified to speak to Gong Tian in a lectured tone. Several elders are very dissatisfied with this, and have suggested to the Holy One to take your official position."

A smile appeared on Gong Tian's face: "Since Teacher Fan is here, I think His Majesty did not accept the wishes of the elders."

"You're smart." Yang Bokang also laughed, "The Holy Majesty also said that Japan claims to be blessed by gods and Buddhas, and has never been invaded by foreign enemies, so it is very high-spirited, so it is necessary to completely destroy the arrogance of the Japanese. There is nothing wrong with being cautious in using troops." Of course, there is a long list of accusations in Zheng Kezang's original words that Xia Jun is filled with arrogance, but there is no need to go into details with Gong Tian. "But Tian Ze, my teacher I want to remind you that it is a good thing for the Holy Majesty to trust you, but if the Japanese problem cannot be solved in one fell swoop,
