In 1868, the year of the Wuchen Dragon, the seventh year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. As soon as the news that Xiao Lotian was going to hold a grand New Year's banquet in the Ryukyu Prime Minister's Mansion spread, all the high-ranking officials under the entire Prime Minister's curtain were all sensational.

A telegram was sent to all parts of Asia, and at this moment the New Year was only two months away, and it seemed that there was plenty of transportation, but in the 19th century transportation was still very backward, and many Ryukyu officials working in the central and western regions of Nanyang, India, and the Qing Dynasty had to plan their return to China in advance.

Xiao Letian's attitude at this banquet is very clear, as long as the person in charge who can come is all called back, since 1865 Xiao Lotian was the prime minister in the Ryukyus, it has been three years without a gathering of all the high-level people, this New Year's banquet suddenly caused a sensation in the entire Ryukyu forces.

King Shangtai had been drilling like a rat in the treasury of Shuri Castle for three days in a row, and the chief minister in charge of the treasury next to him knelt down with a sad face and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has already confessed, and I am greedy for twenty taels of gold! I will return it tomorrow, and you will spare me for the sake of the old minister who has served you all his life, and don't check the accounts...... Woo woo!" the minister in charge cried desperately.

"Shut up! Shut up for me! What a mess, I'm looking for a New Year's gift for my father's banquet! How did I hook up with the audit......

When the kneeling old minister heard this, "Ah, Your Majesty......, are you looking for a gift?" This job is familiar to the minister, and there is no treasure in this treasure house that I don't know!"

After twisting and turning, the minister in charge took King Shangtai to a corner, and took out an object wrapped in bright yellow satin from the dusty box of ebony shark skin horns.

Seeing that the silk had faded, and the edges were even dry, there seemed to be signs of weathering, and when the silk was opened, a bright yellow jade ring was revealed inside, and two dragons with clouds and rain were carved on the concentric rings.

"Your Majesty, this is one of the gifts given by Emperor Hongwu after Ryukyu presented his letter to Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, Topaz Double Dragon Ring, we have treasured Ryukyu for more than 400 years, it is said that this piece of jade was originally a treasure that flowed out of the Song Dynasty, and it was extremely precious......"

"You see, in the inner circle of Yuhuan, there is also the name of the sixth year of Song Shenzong! Here is also the name of the eighth year of Hongwu...... Such a treasure is certainly worthy of the credit of the prime minister!"

King Shangtai was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, good...... This thing is very good, there is no Father Shang and there will be no Ryukyu country, we are afraid that we will have let the Japanese destroy it a long time ago, Father Shang is no less significant to Ryukyu than Emperor Hongwu canonized Ryukyu, this thing is best to give to Father Shang......"

King Shangtai walked out of the inner library with the jade ring in his hand, and after the minister in charge breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the breakthrough was successful, he didn't expect King Shangtai to come back without replying.

"This inner library is indeed time to take a plate, remember to send the gold back when you look back, confess leniency and resist strictly, this is the teachings of Shang's father......"

"Huh?" the minister sat on the door frame as soon as his feet limped, "and the inventory!"

He was not the only one who prepared gifts like King Shangtai, and the leaders of all parties under Xiao Letian's command all moved, and even the dragon master who was in the black water cat winter in the white mountain left his hiding place and prepared to return to the Ryukyus to participate in this extremely important banquet.

In the snowstorm, more than 300 soldiers in white camouflage clothes lurked at the edge of the forest, and a log city in the dragon master telescope stood by the frozen river.

The old ginseng lay beside Long Ye and whispered, "This is it, the wolf's den shack camp, there is a company of Rakshasa ghosts stationed in it, what is the leader called Belevsky...... Phew, it's this dead chicken who robbed one of my villages in the summer, and he snatched one of the best ginseng plants I treasured......"

"My lord, let's pull out this nail, I want the head of this dead chicken, and you can bring ginseng to Ryukyu for the New Year......'s gift!

"The prime minister took us to take revenge and gave us so many foreign guns, we also have to have a heart!"

Long Ye smiled, "I heard that your ginseng king is a thousand-year-old ginseng, are you willing to do it?"

"Hi...... Aren't you kidding, my lord? That thousand-year-old ginseng has already become fine, can I dig it? Actually, it's only about 400 years, but the 400-year-old ginseng in this white mountain and black water is definitely the king of ginseng, if I don't blow it, you really can't find such a good ......."

"Okay, I want to go to the old ginseng, and I won't be polite to you, with your heart, there will be a time for you to laugh in the future...... Everyone lurks, eat chocolate to replenish their strength, let's do it at night!"

You can't understand how cold it is in the Far East if you don't go around in person, it is more than 20 degrees below zero during the day, and it can reach more than 40 degrees below zero at night, and even the locals will not go out in such a bad climate, so the Russian army in the outpost never imagined that someone would come to attack at such a time.

Bearskins, wolf skins, lambskins, boots stuffed with ura grass, plenty of high-calorie chocolate in pockets, and a bottle of soju per person.

The face is covered with a thick dogskin hat, and the two eyes are exposed, and any exposed skin is smeared with raccoon dog oil to protect against frost, and finally a pure white camouflage cloak is put on the outside.

Rao was so tightly protected, in the end, more than fifty of the three hundred soldiers were severely frostbitten, but that was all after the battle, and none of the soldiers had a flinching expression at this moment.

The Oroqen hunters and wild Jurchens who followed were stunned, they didn't expect these Han people from the south to be so tough, and this kind of snowy weather really lurked until dark?

At seven o'clock in the hour, darkness covered the land, and the lurkers began to move, crawling slowly on the ground towards the walled city, their speed very slow to prevent the snow from making a sound, and it took a minute for each step to move.

Climb a few meters and stop, make sure that there is no danger before continuing to advance, it took a whole hour for the vanguard to approach the camp, the soldiers wanted to use explosives to blast open the city wall, but when they looked up, they were all happy.

In such a cold weather, the Russians also know how to be lazy, there is not a single sentry on the wall, only the light of the mining lamp on the wooden tower of the lookout, and then look at the Russian army on duty I don't know how much vodka they have drunk, and they are dozing off with a rifle.

The explosives are still a little bit left, the snipers climbed the logs with their flying claws, and several figures flexibly climbed into the wall like raccoon cats, and when the hounds in the camp began to bark, it was already too late, the gate had already been opened, and the volunteers outside rushed in like the wind.

At the end of the battle in two hours, the 300 volunteers quickly eliminated more than 100 Russian troops, and the dead chicken, who was dazed in pajamas, was dragged into the snow and shivered.

The old ginseng cried and pulled out a knife and slashed at his shoulder, "I'm fucking you, robbing my food, robbing my ginseng...... Spoil my daughter-in-law, do you want to die a happy death? Dream ......."

Long Ye sighed and shook his head and didn't care about the old ginseng, the camp was full of the screams of dead chickens, and he didn't know if he had cut a hundred or two hundred knives, anyway, the old ginseng had tortured him for an hour and a half, and the screams stopped.

At this time, Long Ye had already found the ginseng king, the red silk was wrapped in a beautiful wooden box, and the long roots were really like the beard of the old birthday star.

"Okay, well, now the New Year's gift to the prime minister is finally available! The brothers cleaned up the battlefield and set fire to this camp......"

"Let's count the merits of the war, and the ten brothers with the greatest credit, turn around and go back to Ryukyu with me to pay New Year's greetings to the prime minister!"
