When Ryoma Sakamoto saw the outline of Naha Port in his sight, he was completely stupid. Is this the hell of Shura? The port of Naha in Wanguo Jinliang has been completely burned down in just one night?

In front of Ryoma-kun, the flames in the city were still burning, billowing black smoke into the sky. The western wall of Shuri Castle was shattered, and many sections of the battlement wall collapsed, revealing the black rammed earth inside.

Floating on the surface of the sea facing Shurijo Castle was littered with wreckage and wood chips, and dozens of foreign merchant ships were firing at the hillside east of Shurijo Castle, and shells were pouring down into the rocky area one after another.

Ryoma Sakamoto couldn't figure out the situation anymore, what was on the eastern slope? Looking through his binoculars, there were still traces of Japanese battles, artificially piled low walls, white flags, and the corpses of some dead soldiers on the ground.

But what is surprising is that there are no living people in the rocky area to the east now, why do these foreigners still open fire? Doesn't their shells and gunpowder need money?

Sakamoto Ryoma really can't figure out the situation, in fact, even Xiao Lotian didn't think of the current situation.

In the shelling battle just now, in order to give these Americans a talisman, Xiao Lotian deliberately used flags to inform the American merchant ships that the shelling was fired at the request of the Ryukyu royal family, which changed the nature of the war. It used to be a righteous and courageous act, but now it has become a mercenary led by the government.

Since it was a mercenary, the cost after the firing was naturally reimbursed by the Ryukyu royal family, and the shelling of the Japanese army was a diplomatic dispute, so the home country of these merchant ships had an excuse to negotiate.

Now the Western powers are hoping that these small and weak Asian countries will go to war with each other, because as long as there is war, there will be trade, there will be diplomatic consultations, and there will be a redistribution of interests. All in all, only when the water is muddy will the big fish in the deep water float.

It was based on this consideration that when the foreigners on the sea saw this banner, all the merchants went crazy.

"Oh, these American liars, they actually secretly accepted the Ryukyu Kingdom's request for help, they actually became mercenaries......! Sending a flag to Shurijo Castle, we will also participate in the suppression of the rebellion, and we will also carry out armed intervention......"

United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain...... The merchant ships of various countries took action, spread their sails and quickly grabbed their positions, and launched a 'miserable' artillery bombardment on the positions of the Japanese in the east.

It is absolutely reasonable to say that the tragedy is terrible, and now the whole shelling has turned into a flogging activity, and the American merchant ships have long been escorted to the side to watch the excitement of the surrendered Japanese ships, and now everyone is watching these foreign clowns perform.

The rocks on the hillside were turned over and over again with artillery, and the corpses that had been blown to pieces were once again thrown into the air, seemingly turning into fertile earth without the help of bacteria and microorganisms.

These foreign merchant ships are desperately showing their strength, and the subtext is very obvious: 'The Ryukyu royal family, you better see how powerful we are, and the final mercenary expenses cannot be less', and they are also standing up for their own government.

It was during this bombardment that Ryoma Sakamoto slowly approached the port of Naha, and when these foreign merchant ships spotted a lone Japanese ship, a French merchant ship and a Dutch merchant ship actually regarded him as a fish that had slipped through the net, and rushed up with full sails to catch him alive.

"Raise the white flag...... Immediately send a flag message to tell them that we are envoys from Japan and negotiate on behalf of ......the Shimazu family."

The French and Dutch confirmed it several times, and then reluctantly let the ship pass. As Ryoma Sakamoto slowly approached the docks, he realized how strict the conflict had been this night.

"Hell on earth, this is the Shura Hell mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures!" Ryoma Sakamoto commanded the ship to carefully moor on the half-destroyed trestle, and before he could land on the shore, he smelled the pungent smell of blood and the burning smell of burning.

Ryoma was to the Ryukyus once, and he remembered that the port of Naha was beautiful, with endless tropical fruits to eat, endless supplies from all over the world, and the streets lined with trees all year round, and merchants from all over the world. But now, apart from the ruins and ruins, the corpses on the street are not cleaned up, and they are just placed on the side of the road.

As soon as Ryoma and his party landed on the dock, they encountered a group of Chinese guards, who had gone through a night of bloodshed and fire and the Imperial Forest Army of the Ryukyu Kingdom to form one after another to quell the rebellion.

"Look, there are Japanese on the dock, still with knives, hurry up and arrest them...... A guard of more than 40 people quickly surrounded them with all kinds of weapons.

"We are messengers, we have just arrived from Kagoshima, the Japanese mainland, and we are not here to fight...... Let's go to King Shangtai, let's go to Mr. Xiao......" Sakamoto Ryoma and his party explained for a long time before they dispelled the doubts of this group of guards, and a group of people pressed a few of them to Shuri Castle.

Along the way, Ryoma Sakamoto saw countless ruins and corpses, and he heard all the angry scolding of the guards around him, and he could understand them all, and gradually he understood almost the causes and consequences of the conflict throughout the night.

"Yaga, Kiyoshi Yamamoto is a stupid pig, this devil who only knows how to kill, is simply crazy. Aren't you saying that if you kill Xiao Letian, you can kill one of them? Why do you want to use the scoundrels of Hachiro? Why do you want to start a war of extermination between races? You bastard......

Ryoma Sakamoto was cursing in his heart, when suddenly at the intersection in front of him, two frightened Japanese ronins rushed out from the left, stumbling and covered in blood. More than 20 Chinese poured out behind them, and chased after them with stool legs and large wooden sticks.

"Kill him, kill them, these two ronins are Hachiro's men, I know them......" In the midst of the shouting, a ronin fell to the ground on a big horse, and the Chinese people rushed up behind him and knocked him alive with wooden sticks.

Sakamoto Ryoma couldn't believe his eyes, was this still a humble and polite Chinese? They were too cruel, especially the eyes of those people looking at him, as cold as if they were looking at another species.

"What do you see, hurry up, it will annoy our prime minister later, and the fate of you will be the same...... Damn, you're just a bunch of live animals, the daughter of the boss of the dock king, let this group of ronins be humiliated to death, and finally fucking dismembered the corpses, is this something that people can do? Wait for the prime minister to destroy your entire Japanese clan......"

Of course, Ryoma Sakamoto could understand Chinese, but at the same time, he was cold, and at the same time he asked, "I'm sorry, who are you talking about the prime minister? When did the Ryukyu Kingdom have the official position of prime minister?"

"Phew...... The ignorant Japanese Xiaozi, of course, the prime minister is Lord Xiao Lotian of the kingdom, and King Shangtai has recognized Mr. Xiao as the emperor, and the official worships the prime minister. Do you know what a prime minister is? It's the prime minister, the biggest ...... among the hundred officials?"

Sakamoto Ryoma frowned when he heard this, if he negotiated with the Ryukyu royal family, he had a 100% chance of winning, but if the negotiation opponent was replaced by Xiao Letian, he really didn't dare to think about it.

Along the way, Ryoma Sakamoto saw countless scenes of the Chinese guards suppressing the Japanese ronin, and the port of Naha, where 100,000 Japanese in the past, changed overnight, and all the Japanese disappeared. It wasn't until he walked to Shurijo Castle that he realized that the Japanese in Naha Port were now in a life-and-death crisis.

"Luo Huo, take your musket team, go to the dock immediately, and purchase ammunition from the Endeavour, Mike is on the Endeavour, purchase from all the foreign merchant ships, let them provide muskets and ammunition at cost price, and if you want to do business with me in the future, now is the time for them to invest......"

"My lord, where will I get the money?" the stupid Luo Huo still had to ask, but Xiao Letian scolded him, "I owe it first, tell them that Lao Tzu is the prime minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and they are indispensable ...... a silver scum."

Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun...... The two of you gathered the strong men among the Chinese, as many as you wanted, and tried your best to search for weapons, and surrounded the courtyard of Huashan Liyuan and the barracks behind him from the east and west, so that all the Japanese troops surrendered unconditionally, and if you didn't lay down your weapons before 12 noon, you would slaughter me......"

"Yes!" Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun received the order to go down and arrange immediately.

"General Cai Mao!" Xiao Lotian set his eyes on Cai Mao, the general of the Ryukyu Imperial Forest Army, "I inquired before, you used to be the admiral of the Ryukyu Navy? Later, you had to go ashore because you had no money to build a ship?" Well, I'll give you a chance, now you recruit me from the people of the Ryukyus, and I want experienced old sailors, and it won't take long for me to form a navy for you......"

Cai Mao's excited eyes turned into tears when he heard this, and he knelt down on one knee and smashed his right fist on his chest, "Prime Minister Xie...... Please give me the captured Japanese ships, and in less than a day I will be able to sail the four captured ships on the sea......"

"Very good, I can give it to you, you go directly to the dock to find the Americans to go, take my warrant to Mike, and he will help you coordinate ......"

Xiao Letian sat at the south gate, arranging follow-up tasks one by one, it seems that he has already deduced the situation, and he may have taken it into account after the war. Of course, he also knew that the few people who stood outside the line with their heads bowed were the envoys of the main island of Japan, and he also knew that the one who was about the same age as himself at the head was Ryoma Sakamoto.

But now Xiao Letian doesn't have time to take care of him, so he will hang him first, regardless of whether he is famous in history.

"Lin Yuanmiao......" Xiao Letian shouted, and Hubu Shangshu hurriedly ran over, bowing his head and waiting for the order.

"I'm already the prime minister of the Ryukyus, what about my official seal? You are in charge of the treasury, and immediately engrave the prime minister's seal for me...... There is also a notice of peace and security must also be posted, otherwise the people of Ryukyu will not know that there is an official like me, how can I give an order?"

Lin Yuanmiao's smiling eyes couldn't see, "Prime Minister, don't blame, don't blame, I've already asked the chief officer to go to the treasury to select treasures, but the Prime Minister Yin Ryukyu Kingdom has never made zuò, and I don't know the specifications...... The king of Sangtai asked his ministers to come down and ask the prime minister, do you want a gold seal or a jade seal? There are also ivory treasury and jade ...... from Burma."

"Wait!Jade?Is it planted by Laokeng Bing?How is the water head......" Xiao Letian suddenly thought that jadeite was not as important as later generations in ancient times, it was just a classification of jade, China's extreme love for jadeite in modern times, in fact, there is also a credit to Cixi, because Cixi's love for jadeite is famous, and her preferences have also created the value of jadeite skyrocketed.

It's a good thing, I'm going to eat more while it's still cheap, and it's a fortune to leave to my children and grandchildren in the future.

Lin Yuanmiao obviously didn't understand the professional terms Xiao Letian said, "Ah, please make it clear, I don't understand what you said......" Xiao Letian patted his head and said with a smile, "I asked you if the emerald green is not green, is it really a good product from Myanmar......"

"Yes, yes, I have seen it below, it is very green, and the origin is very clear, it must be the best jadeite that the Burmese royal family once had......" Xiao Lotian smiled when he heard it, "Then don't go quickly, I'm still waiting for the seal." ”

Under Xiao Letian's methodical arrangement, the prime minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom exercised his power for the first time, and he arranged both military and civil affairs in an orderly manner.

Naha has set up a security guard, and now it has begun to isolate the fire, clean up the dead, and military the entire city. Subsequently, the grassroots officials of the Ryukyu Kingdom began to gather the residents, distribute grain, clean the wells, and carry out the initial work of reassuring the people.

On the sea, Xiao Lotian hired one of the fastest clippers belonging to the Netherlands, and asked him to immediately go to Tanggu to contact the Fan shopkeeper of Lotte & Co., and the reconstruction plan of the Ryukyu Kingdom was indispensable for money and materials, which had to be transported from the mainland.

Time passed minute by minute, and there were not many officials left around Xiao Letian, and during this period, Xiao Lotian did not pay attention to Sakamoto Ryoma at all, and this man of the year in modern Japanese history was also very patiently waiting.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the morning that a herald broke the silence between the two. "Report ...... Report to the Prime Minister, the Japanese military camp on the top of the hill is in a defensive posture and refuses to surrender...... Lord Xiao Hexin and Lord Sima Yun asked for support from the musket team, please rest assured that the prime minister will definitely be able to take this military camp at noon!"
