Ryukyu, Naha! After the public memorial meeting, when the people's mood had not completely calmed down, another scoop of hot oil was poured on the boiling public opinion, and the flames raged again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

First of all, the Chinese Times was the first to disclose this shocking news, and the Ryukyu King Shotai officially announced his dedication to the Chinese Parliament.

Everyone was stunned, except for those big people who had long known the inside story, and as for the ordinary people, it was the first time they heard the word "dedication".

For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, and people were talking about it, and they really didn't know what to dedicate to the government.

The newspaper began to put a lot of information on the layout and printing number, and gave specific explanations for the administration.

The Ryukyu Islands have their own land, millions of people, and a unique culture that has absorbed the civilization of the mainland, and of course there is also a feudal government with the Shang clan as the main body.

In ancient times, the Ryukyu archipelago was in a state of division, and the tribes fought against each other, and the people's livelihood could not even guarantee basic security, until the early Ming Dynasty led by the Shang clan led the Zhongshan Kingdom rose strongly and unified the other tribes to have the current territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

After 500 years of ups and downs, the canonization decree of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty is still hidden in the palace of Shuri Castle, but the world has become strange.

The sea is no longer dangerous, the Europeans have turned the sea into a land of wealth, the concept of the world is incomparably clear, and war has changed from a regional exchange of fire to a global crossing.

Britain and France have been able to project troops around the world, which was completely unthinkable in ancient times, and more and more countries have entered this club of great powers, and it is believed that in the near future, there will be more than the navies of Britain and France on the seas of Asia, and more powers will also enter the era of the world's military deployment.

This is a dream that any ancient king would be enthusiastic about hearing this, but he could not do it.

Alexander's crusade lasted until India, and he was finally killed, and Genghis Khan's cavalry frenzy swept through Europe and Asia and even reached the doorstep of Egypt, but he did not see the snow of Kilimanjaro or the cities of the Andes.

Only in today's world, Western civilization has taken advantage of the strong east wind of the explosion of science and technology in the age of rationality, and has truly achieved the world's military deployment that the ancients could not have imagined.

The empire's navy galloped on all the world's oceans, and theoretically all coastlines were areas they could attack, and Africa, Oceania, and North and South America all became the backyard of the British navy to come and go at will.

Large chunks of land became their colonies, an ordinary governor already had the authority of a king, ships and guns opened doors of the country, and all disobedient people were slaughtered.

It was a time of great cruelty, where the great powers did not believe in tears, capital would not accept the ancient tributary traditions, and when capitalism escalated to a more brutal form of imperialism, the backward countries were destined to become fuel for the powerful.

King Shangtai had no choice, and in the process of learning from the West to the East, he really learned a lot of dry goods from following Xiao Letian, especially in the judgment of the future world pattern.

In the future, small and weak countries themselves will have limited territory, sparse populations, scarce resources, and weak militarily...... Such a country will not be able to climb the scientific and technological tree on its own, and it will not even be able to build a large industrial system.

There are only three kinds of final fate for a country like this, one is that it is located in a remote area, there are no resources, the geography and transportation are inconvenient, and no country is willing to invade you, so you just hold on to that little bit of soil and slowly be forgotten by the times, and your country may become a living fossil respected by anthropologists in the future.

The second type of country is that it has resources, is valuable but weak, then annexation is inevitable, there was no international order before World War I, and power is the only way to resolve disputes.

A small country like the Ryukyus will either be annexed by Japan or the United States, and even Britain and France can easily destroy the country if they are interested.

The third type of country is very special, such as Switzerland, Belgium, and some countries in Central Asia, or some small countries in Southeast Asia. Their geographical location was so important that it was coveted by all the great powers.

It is precisely because all hungry wolves want to occupy that this forms a delicate balance, these countries can maintain their national glory through careful diplomatic means, and even some special countries, through the improvement of the quality of the whole people, can even live very, very good, in a certain industry can even lead the world.

It's a pity that Ryukyu doesn't belong to the third type, let alone the first, and the fate of Ryukyu is only the second!

Wanguo Jinliang, the first island chain in Chinese mainland, there is no one with a good geographical location. And the country itself is still barren and weak, the industrial base is not at all, and the talent pool is completely medieval, then the future of the Ryukyus is nothing more than a death.

Now it seems that being annexed by the Chinese is inevitable, and the Chinese are not absolutely safe and peaceful, there are still many dangers waiting for him in the future, Xiao Lotian has any mistakes, and everything about the Chinese will probably become the mouth of the Western powers.

After a long period of thinking and careful analysis, King Shang Tai finally made a decision that shocked the world.

"The Shang royal family can no longer lead millions of Ryukyu people to new hopes, in the face of this complicated and changing era, with a true heart for the well-being of all people, King Shangtai announced that he was officially dedicated to the Chinese Parliament, and the Ryukyu Kingdom officially became the first member country under the Chinese flag!"

The power of the kingdom in the Chinese era was basically covered by six parts.

The household department is in charge of the responsibilities and powers of the state's household registration, finance, and state treasury, and the Ministry of Officials is in charge of personnel, appointing and dismissing officials throughout the country and conducting evaluations.

The Ministry of Rites is responsible for rituals, ceremonies, cultural education, and even includes some diplomatic powers.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the war, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is in charge of the judicial system, and the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the construction of major projects and infrastructure in the country.

The king and the emperor, as the head of a country, directly lead the six ministries to run the whole country, he enjoys the financial support of the whole country, has absolute centralized power, but he also bears the responsibility of the whole country.

If any department is not done well, the king must first bear the blame, and this is the basic mode of operation of Asian countries in the Middle Ages.

Now that King Shangtai has figured it out, this world is too complicated, and he can't play anymore, and he can't deal with that hungry wolf by himself.

What should I do? I don't want to end up with a country ruined and a family ruined!

Then there is only one final ending, that is, to give up the power in his hands, and integrate the powers of the six ministries into the management system of the Chinese people, anyway, now the country is also the prime minister, so Xiao Letian is promoted to the prime minister of the Chinese nationality, and he will have it all.

At the same time as the power was sacrificed, it also represented the sacrifice of his responsibility on behalf of King Shangtai, and from this moment on, whether the Ryukyu Islands could be done well or not was not on his shoulders.
