No one who has ever experienced war knows the preciousness of peace, and the Ryukyu Kingdom suffered two wars in just two years, and each time was rare in the history of the Ryukyus.

In the hundreds of years of history of the Ryukyu Kingdom, only a few so-called vicious battles were fought during the unification of the three mountains in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and then the Japanese Shimazu family began hundreds of years of disguised colonization of the Ryukyus.

Until Xiao Lotian landed on the island, the people of the Ryukyus knew the cruelty of the land war in the bloody battle that night, and today they know the madness of the naval battle.

Five days of continuous bombing by the French had brought the feelings of the Ryukyu people to the brink of collapse, and the sudden news of the peace talks warmed people's hearts like a soothing spring breeze.

I don't know how, King Shangtai's www.uuxs.cc order to strictly prohibit the spread of news has not been well implemented, and the news of the peace talks has spread throughout the Ryukyus, and the crowd has spent a sleepless night in anxiety and hope, and the rare peaceful night has been wasted.

Gong Cheng was right, when the water dog brought back the news of agreeing to the peace talks, the French fleet ceased fire as promised, and the deterrent bombing in the middle of the night finally stopped, and Molière used practical actions to show his sincerity to the Ryukyu military and civilians.

Until the morning of the next day, Jin Changsen and other civil officials, who were standing on the beach at the foot of Qixing Mountain waiting for Gong Cheng, were already full of hope for the success of the peace talks, and they also saw in the eyes of the people the same desire for peace.

"Brother Lin, now you know the great wish of the people of the Ryukyus, right? For hundreds of years, what we Ryukyuan people want is to live, and the dream of being the king and hegemony has nothing to do with us, and the dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival is going to wake up after all..."

Lin Yuanmiao glanced at him, sighed and said, "The fortune of the country is like a boat sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, sometimes it is not what we want to do, but what the enemy forces us to do......"

"Hey...... Forget it, what's the use of talking about it now? It's all on fire, let's take care of the present..."

Lin Yuanmiao and Cai Mao are typical pro-prime ministers in the Ryukyu court, they are the first to surrender to Xiao Letian, and they are extremely fanatical about Xiao Letian's various governing concepts. Today, there is really no way to force the enemy, otherwise he will definitely not betray the prime minister and choose to negotiate with the French.

"The surname is Jin, you just wait, wait for the prime minister to come back and settle accounts after the autumn......" Lin Yuanmiao scolded secretly in his heart.

"Phew, you are the surrender faction of the Ryukyus, and you are also a surrender faction like a stupid dog, and you don't know how to find a thigh-thick hug ...... when you surrender" Jin Changsen also scolded secretly in his heart, but the expressions on the faces of the two were still so harmonious.

After a while, the guards on the Kung Fu Beach suddenly roared, "It's coming, look, it's really coming...... everyone looked at it, but it was a small sampan that was rapidly approaching the coast.

It is the water dog who rows the boat, and every time he shakes the oars, the boat can run forward like an arrow, and Gong Cheng, who sits on it, is as steady as a carriage on a flat road.

Soon, the Imperial Forest Army standing in the waves received the envoy Gong Cheng, and the Ryukyu ministers who greeted him on the beach bowed down one after another, "Mr. Gong has worked hard, please serve tea on the shore..."

Gong Cheng smiled and returned the salute to Jin Changsen and Lin Yuanmiao, this old man did his homework well in advance, and he could name a famous minister.

"This is Lord Shangshujin of the Ministry of Rites? This is Lord Shangshulin of the Ministry of Households? This is ......" The old man saluted the important ministers one by one, and his expression was as formal as he was, and as respectful as he was.

"There is no need to serve tea, there are many good Chinese teas, let's talk about serious things first... Why does the minister have to kowtow to His Majesty...... Oh, is that white flower on the top of your head the fort on Qixing Mountain? mighty, really mighty..."

As soon as the old man raised his head slightly, he saw a gray and white reinforced concrete building standing on a cliff halfway up the Qixing Mountain, and the muzzle of the black hole was facing the battleship on the sea, looking murderous.

It's not that Gong Cheng has never seen shore defense batteries, but those built in the Qing Dynasty are the most primitive design styles, and even many cannons can't turn their muzzles. What he saw today was the latest turret designed by American engineers, and the cannon was completely encased in it, exposing only a horizontal slit facing the sea for the muzzle to move freely.

During the five-day fighting, the reinforced concrete building was blown to pieces, and countless workers were speeding up repairs during the brief ceasefire.

"Mighty... Magnificent... Such a fort didn't even exist in the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Letian was really a masterpiece, and he was able to buy such a defensive weapon from the foreigners, no wonder even the French suffered a big loss...... When the peace talks are completed, the foreign ministers must visit them......

Lin Yuanmiao didn't know what this old traitor was talking about, but he always heard his foreign ministers and foreign ministers shouting like this, Lin Yuanmiao's eyes twitched. The heart said that you old traitor, don't be our courtiers of the Ryukyus, this small country is not enough for you to sell.

"Mr. Gong said with a smile, His Majesty is waiting at the Sea Pavilion of Qixing Mountain, you are a distinguished guest of the Ryukyus, of course Your Majesty will meet you, please ...... here"

Gong Cheng saw that the attempt to visit the fort was in vain, and he was not embarrassed, laughed and followed Jin Changsen and them to meet King Shangtai. However, Gong Cheng didn't know that while they were talking, the Imperial Forest Army protecting the periphery almost had an accident.

I don't know how, when Gong Cheng just landed on the shore, the Royal Forest Army who circled the beach suddenly encountered a group of student soldiers, who were all children who had received preliminary military training in ten universities, and they were also the reserve officer corps of the future troops.

These student soldiers brought tools and shouted that they would go up to Qixing Mountain to help repair the fortifications, but the Royal Forest Army received an order not to let anyone go in and out, and they also knew that there were important guests landing on the island, so how dare they let these student soldiers go.

After coming and going, the two groups of people quarreled, thanks to the fact that it was far from the beach, otherwise Gong Cheng would have thought that someone was going to kill him.

What do these student soldiers want to do? They really want to kill Gong Cheng, an old traitor, this kind of Qin Hui-like figure has always been the sworn enemy of the angry youth, and when the news spread that the old traitor was going to go to the island to negotiate, this group of students who believed in Xiao Letian as a god were the first to quit.

Just when Fan Yao and Liang Kun had a secret meeting, and when King Shangtai and Jin Changsen were planning, the activists in the Ryukyu student soldiers also began to secretly conspire, and it only took half a night to formulate a plan to assassinate Gong Banlun.

"Get out of the way...... We are the prime minister's protégés, we are Ryukyu college students, and we are the managers of the future Ryukyu, so you dare to stop us?"

"How can the enthusiasm of the students let you be buried, get out of the way, we will go to the fort...... Get out of the way..."

There were more than 100 student soldiers who attacked the Praetorian Guard, and soon the scene was chaotic, and all the student soldiers shouted "give way...... Way...... Give way ......"

The crowd squeezed forward to the rhythm, and the guards joined hands to form a three-man net, and the defense line was in jeopardy.

"Calm down, you all calm down... Don't break in, Your Majesty is in Qixing Mountain...... Have you all practiced your military training in vain? You have forgotten to obey orders? Oops, my feet are ......."

"Retreat, little ancestors, you are college students, we can't afford to mess with you, but you also have to think about your future, what should you do if you are shocked?"

The Imperial Forest Army is like a boat in a storm, squeezed by the angry youth, and these college students have been brainwashed by Xiao Letian, to say that it can still work to scare and scare the prime minister, and now it really has no deterrent effect to bring out King Shangtai.

The Imperial Guards were miserable by the impact of the student soldiers, but the court issued an order to die, and if this meeting was affected in any way, then no one could think of a good deal if the military law was ruthless.

Gradually, this group of Imperial Guards also lost their patience, "Are they all squeezed, do you give you face? If you squeeze it again, you will beat me up...... Oh, shit, you're really hands-on..."

"Stinky boy, why do I think you're so familiar? Damn, I know your father, bastard, you dare to beat your uncle...... Beat him up..."

It's bad now, a commander of the Royal Forest Army thought that it had nothing to do with his uncle beating his nephew, but he forgot that this was a national war, and all the emotions were already on the verge of madness, and at this time, who cares who you are, people only think about their own tasks.

"The Guards have beaten people...... Beat up the student army...... This group of traitors wants to betray the Prime Minister, the New Army, and our Ryukyus...... I them..."

More than a hundred fanatical students united as one, rushed forward and punched and kicked, at that moment they were not fighting alone, at that moment it was like the possession of the heroic spirit of the Ryukyus who had been wronged for hundreds of years, the traitor on the other side, and the truth on their side.

Assault assault and assault, the Imperial Forest Army retreated and retreated, and then the reinforcements of the students also arrived, and the number of reinforcements quickly increased from one hundred to three hundred, and the reinforcements of the Royal Forest Army also came, and the Royal Forest Army surrounded the students.

The two sides were still somewhat restrained, the conflict was limited to fists and kicks from the beginning, and no one used weapons, but this was tragic enough, everyone present was beaten one by one with blue noses and swollen faces, and even those who lacked calcium, and several bones were broken.

At the moment when the situation was at its most chaotic, Cai Mao rushed to support with a group of new army guards to "stop... Are you all crazy? The Ryukyus haven't been breached, do you just want civil strife? Stop it......

After all, Cai Mao is one of the left-behind generals appointed by Xiao Letian personally, and he still has a certain prestige among the students, although the students did not retreat under his bullet pressure, they all put away their fists and feet, and the melee finally ended.

Just as Cai Mao was about to persuade the students to leave, another group of soldiers ran from the foot of the mountain, and among them was Fan Yao, the old shopkeeper of Lotte Foreign Bank, who was riding a horse.

"Stop...... Stop it all... What did the Prime Minister teach you? Whenever there is calm in a major event, the more chaotic the situation, the more calm you must be... The foreign bank gave you so many grants, did you learn these things......?

Just as the old shopkeeper was shouting hoarsely, suddenly there was a commotion halfway up the mountain, which rolled down like a tsunami.

"Assassins... There are Assassins ......"
