334 In the year of the Qing Piercing Demon Dance, Yuyao was seventy-four

The government of the Chinese Empire mobilized in full force, pacified the enterprises, pacified the enterprises, prepared for war. In addition to issuing orders for the fleets to intensify training and for the Empress to review the Navy, the General Staff also drew up a plan for the immediate expansion of two more Marine Corps and submitted it to the Empress for approval. The efficiency of the mobilization of the imperial government can be said to be insufficient for the Manchu government to send knees.

Chen Qi has already returned to the shipyard, and all departments have urged her to go back to keep an eye on the shipyard, especially the newly launched ships to be tested, and it will take at least three months to sail after installation, and the time is very tight.

In fact, the Chinese Empire's current naval vessels are the first in Asia, but the current Chinese atmosphere is strongly developed overseas/* - because the internal contradictions will not be resolved without developing outward, so the military and political departments always feel that there are not enough ships and not enough navy.

They also believed that if the navy wanted to send a large number of ships for requisition to Japan, the coastal waters of their country would be relatively empty, so they should install more warships. Since the Chinese Empire raised its troops, they have realized the advantages of the navy in various battles, whether it is the naval bombardment of the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty, or the ability to transport a large number of troops at a rapid pace, or the arbitrary investment of troops and horses on the north and south coastlines to improve the layout of military forces. All let the Manchus only sacrifice their knees.

A few days later, Lu Siniang arrived in Nanjing with twenty of her elite disciples, all of whom had the ruthless aura of a killer, and they were the ones she had found and trained in the rivers and lakes. These good hands, together with the special operations reconnaissance brigade on Taihang Mountain at that time, made great contributions to disrupting enemy lines in the battle of the Daimyo's Mansion.

Lu Siniang has now also been promoted to the head of the agents of the Zhengliupin Empire, and her charming and delicate figure is wrapped in military uniforms, with a thousand styles. At nearly thirty years old, she is still as beautiful as a girl.

Long Xue brought his own disciple, Gan Xingliang, the former master of the White Dragon Gang White Tiger Hall, to Fengyi Pavilion and meet Lu Siniang's people together. Several of Long Xue's personal disciples, the white dragon envoy Qin Shaobai was in charge of the affairs of China's ocean business, and the black dragon envoy Li Zihei was in charge of the customs affairs. Qinglongtang Huang Jilin became a scholar and became the governor of Zhili. Gan Xingliang, the son of the hero Gan Fengchi, is in charge of a job called the "Chinese Imperial Commercial Statistics Survey Bureau" - to put it bluntly, it is actually an intelligence department. Xuanwu envoy Yang Zhenhang is a native who now works in the Ministry of Communications. And Zhou Jing, the Suzaku envoy with the blood of the Ming family, works in the Women's Federation......

As soon as Lu Siniang entered the Fengyi Pavilion with the blood droplets of the twenty Chinese Dynasty who were born in the rivers and lakes, she saw the empress sitting in front of the table, wearing a bright yellow refined Hanfu, although she did not wear the most formal Twelve Sons of Heaven, she also wore a golden crown, and a pendant made of rubies hung on her forehead.

I saw that her complexion was like snow, her long eyebrows were flying obliquely, and her phoenix eyes were majestic, she was really a peerless beauty. But her dominating bearing is different from all women, and her compelling aura makes people dare not give birth to lewdness/heart.

"Your Majesty, Ministers!" the twenty-one people covered their hearts and saluted.

"Flat. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Lu Siniang knows Long Xue, Long Xue is a famous "first beautiful man" in the Chinese Dynasty, because in order to crush the Manchu Qing Dynasty in terms of appearance, Long Xue saw people with seven or eight points. When I first saw him, Lu Siniang was also in a state of flux, but she was beaten badly by him. Now, she is as merry as Lu Siniang but she doesn't dare to seduce him, because she also knows that she will never succeed, he knows too well what kind of person she is, he knows what kind of ugly she is, and he disdains her in his bones.

"Humble to meet the Dragon Gang Leader. Although he does not walk the rivers and lakes now, the affairs of the rivers and lakes are mainly handed over to the disciple "Jin Xian", but he is still the recognized leader of the martial arts alliance in the rivers and lakes of the imperial court.

When the subordinates heard that it was the leader of the Dragon Gang, they also hurriedly greeted him with the etiquette of the rivers and lakes. They had never seen him, but they had heard of him. I heard that he is the number one master in the world, and there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that he is Her Majesty's martial arts brother, and he and Her Majesty's supreme martial arts are under the same hermit master.

Long Xue said lightly: "No need to be polite. ”

The empress suddenly said: "Lu Siniang, I have also received an evaluation from the North China Theater Command, Commander Zhang said that your squad is brave and active in combat, and has made great achievements in whitewashing the enemy to support the Daimyo's Mansion. The empire will not treat the heroes badly, so everyone will be promoted to the next level. ”

Lu Siniang was originally the sixth grade, while the others were between the seventh rank and the ninth grade, but this was an official position without any great merit, and if there was merit, he was promoted.

"Your Majesty the Empress Longen. Again, the crowd thanked them.

The empress asked the others who came to face the saint to retreat first, leaving Long Xue and Lu Siniang alone. Lu Siniang was even more nervous, that was the fear of the strong. In fact, Lu Siniang likes powerful men, but she is really not afraid of strong men in her bones, otherwise how could she go through so many worlds and prostitute all powerful men?

But she was really afraid of the empress and the martial arts alliance leader.

The empress said: "Lu Siniang, do you know the Niu Hulu clan and the Tong Jia clan of the Yongzheng Mansion?"

Lu Siniang's face was embarrassed, and she said, "Minister...... knows that Niu Hulu was originally Qianlong's biological mother, and Tong Jia's was a crossing girl, so she shouldn't have anything to do with Yongzheng and went to Yongzheng Mansion. ”

The empress smiled: "Both of them are crossing girls, and they even came to assassinate me that year, but they were beaten and captured by me. ”

Lu Siniang couldn't help but feel a screen in her heart, and said: "Your Majesty is powerful and powerful, how can those two Xiaoxiao be opponents." ”

The empress shook her head and said with a smile: "Those two, one cultivates the truth, the other practices the Cihang Sword Codex, and there are all kinds of divine medicines to replenish the body. In terms of kung fu, they can fight on a par with me, but I have comrades, I have countless loyal subordinates, and I have guns, so they naturally lose. I don't really mean to embarrass you, who are also traversers, but if you want to be my enemy, I won't be caught. I really can't understand that you both have powerful golden fingers, but you can do anything in order to get a bit of worthless vanity from a man you can simply despise, or even the complete love worthy of your abilities. Even, ignoring the happiness of compatriots and the future destiny of China. Our country and nation can obviously seize the opportunity to rise, but if you want to become reactionaries, are you still modern?"

"Sinners deserve to die. Lu Siniang couldn't help but kneel down in fright.

"You get up, I didn't let you kneel. Do you know why I gave them to Chen Qi as toys, but gave you the opportunity to train you?"

"Siniang is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty. When Lu Siniang went to Taihang Mountain, Chen Qi was still in the south, so she naturally knew what kind of role it was.

The empress said: "Because you are romantic, you just like to prostitute powerful men, you just can't be a leader in character and are more suitable to be a dependentβ€”this is not a sin, in fact, you are a person who does not follow the rules." Compared with those women who rob Yongzheng who are obviously higher than you but stay in the backyard, you are more senior than them, you dare to sleep Kangxi, Yongzheng, thirteen, and fourteen, and on the other hand, you also sleep with men who are interested in you. And deep down you still think it's not a big deal, and I don't think it's a big deal. Why should those people spoil so many Han women alone, and not one woman to prostitute them? You did it, and although I didn't agree with your taste, I also felt a sigh of relief. Also, although you are crossing, you are the granddaughter of the famous man Lu Liuliang whom I respect. I should give you a chance. ”

Lu Siniang trembled and said: "Your Majesty Xie is magnanimous, and the minister has already known that he is wrong. ”

The Empress sighed, "You have a credit to the Empire, and I should also let go of my previous prejudices against you." Lu Siniang, whether history is because of those people, or I and you, it has changed a long time ago, and my China will be strong. You are luckier than them, you have the opportunity to participate, witness, share, and even become a hero of our Chinese nation, not like them, just a pitiful worm in the garbage heap. ”

Lu Siniang remembered the ups and downs since she crossed this life, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and said, "I really understand." I am Chinese and Han Chinese, I have this ability and opportunity, and I should not give up the future of my country and nation. Even if I do nothing, I shouldn't help them deal with my fellow citizens. ”

The empress suddenly smiled again and said: "Lu Siniang, you are a modern person, based on the modern idea of national integration, your attitude towards the Manchu Qing is still not on the line." However, if you are smart, you will definitely become a comrade with the victorious side, I have no doubt about that now. ”

Lu Siniang was a little skeptical, what did the empress mean.

But I heard the empress suddenly say: "What do you think of Japan?"

Lu Siniang's eyes widened suddenly, and she said, "Mortal enemy." ”

"Do you know Japanese?"

"A little. ”

The empress smiled faintly and said, "There is a business that I think is very suitable for you." ”

"What business?"

"It's not for you to go to Japan to be the queen's favorite concubine......"

"Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't have this idea. ”

"The empire is in ruins, and there is a huge labor shortage......"

"We still lack labor in China?"

"You think it's modern, it's the 18th century, and China has a population of 25 million to 30 million. A few days ago, the cabinet held a meeting to discuss that the development of enterprises is limited by the shortage of labor, and many companies are facing the suspension of production. Now Kangxi has not replied about the ransom of prisoners of war, but the enterprises below have heard the rumors and are willing to buy prisoners of war at a price of 150 silver dollars (750 taels). ”

"Your Majesty means ...... Let me go...... Catch, uh, recruit?" She almost said the "catch", but luckily she was still in a hurry.

The empress smiled gently, seemed to look at her beautiful fingers intently, and said lightly: "'Labor intermediary' is a promising emerging industry. Both the Cao Gang and the Navy will give you convenience, you go to explore the way first, do a good job, and in the future we will be the majority shareholder of our company. However, as a Jianghu, what you are doing there has nothing to do with the government, it is a private business activity......"

Lu Siniang was completely petrified, she was afraid that the empress would see her accidentally show an "irreverent" look, so she hurriedly lowered her head.

"I ...... Minister, it seems to ...... Got it......"

The Empress spoke softly and said, "That's good." Siniang, you are also a descendant of Yan and Huang, your ancestors are still celebrities, and you have so many experiences and abilities that others do not have, you should make achievements that ordinary people look up to you. In the process of growing China, you should leave behind a thick pen that others cannot replace. You've got an opportunity, and you have to take it...... You rest for two days, and then, get ready. ”

When Lu Siniang came out of Fengyi Pavilion, the back of her head was still cold, this ...... It's too toxic.

Out of Qifeng Palace, at the gate, I saw a female lieutenant colonel of the Royal Forest Army Xiao Cui holding a child, the child was picturesque, she only felt infinite tenderness when she saw it, just looking at the child.

The child shrank and hugged Xiaocui's legs: "Auntie......"

"She's your mother. ”

Lu Siniang couldn't hold back anymore, she threw herself over and hugged him and cried......

……

The Satsuma Domain was a feudal domain of the Edo period of Japan, and if it were a canonical development, it would have created Japan's glorious history in the next few worlds. He played an important role in the Shogunate Movement and supported the Tokugawa Shogunate's return to Emperor Meiji, known as the "Great Shogunate". In addition, in the Meiji era, due to its main role in the downfall, the people of the Satsuma clan held important positions of power and produced many talents. For example, for Chinese, the unforgettable Japanese Admiral Heihachiro Togo, the Sino-Japanese War, the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the "Battle of Tsushima" during the Russo-Japanese War, which earned him the reputation of "Nelson of the East".

However, this was still early days, and the current Satsuma Domain was just a "distant domain" far from the seat of the shogun. Due to its geographical location closest to Liuli and the attribute of a wolf, it invaded Ryukyu as early as 1609. According to the official history, its invasion and control of the Ryukyus lasted for more than 200 years, and then laid the foundation for the actual control of the Ryukyus.

Ryukyu was also a small country with a rare "one feudal domain, two clans" that paid tribute to China and Japan on the other. However, in the hearts of the Ryukyus people, they were more inclined to China, and until the 70s of the 19th century, they always considered themselves to be vassal states of China, and even when successive kings succeeded to the throne, they had to send envoys to China to ask for a title.

Yuyao was particularly benevolent to the Ryukyuan people, and in addition to building a naval base, there was also a "historical" reason. Let's talk about China's "Song of the Seven Sons", and Ryukyu is also one of the Seven Sons.

The delegation of the Ryukyu envoys returned home under the escort of a detachment of the East China Sea Fleet of the Royal Chinese Navy. A total of about 30 ships of large, medium and small ships.

thereinto

Classified by the Empress as a battleship: "Cao Cao", also the flagship of the detachment, two Portuguese-purchased galleons "Meng Tian" and "Li Mu";

Classified as cruisers by the empress: four warships that were remodeled after being captured by the Fujian Naval Division, numbered "Xun 011", "Xun 012", "Xun 013", and "Xun 014";

Classified by the Empress as supply ships: "Supplement 005", "Supplement 006", "Supplement 007";

the "Bian Que", which was classified by the Empress as a hospital ship;

as well as 6 large merchant ships of China COSCO Co., Ltd., 20 patrol guerrilla boats.

Since it was the detachment of the East China Sea Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, it sent an envoy to the Ryukyus and escorted the Ryukyu envoy back to China. The flagship "Cao Cao" invincible-class battleship raised the "Xinghuang Dragon Flag", the national flag of the Chinese Empire, and the special military flag of the East China Sea Fleet of the Royal Navy, the "Blue Dragon Flag". The mission ships flying the Ryukyu flag were like sons next to the flagship of the "Cao Cao".

However, it was said that the flag of the Imperial Navy was different from that of the Army, and that the Navy uniformly adopted the blue flag representing the sea. However, the dragon pattern in the middle is divided into green dragon, red dragon, white dragon and black dragon according to the traditional Chinese principle of oriental eastern, southern, western, and black. At present, China only has the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet, and the West Sea and North Sea Fleets will be expanded later. The river flotilla has been placed under the management of the Ministry of Public Security of the Ministry of the Interior, and only in wartime it can be "seconded" to the General Staff Department for unified deployment.

The arrival of such a large fleet in the Ryukyus caused a sensation throughout the Ryukyu Kingdom. King Shang personally greeted him out of the city.

In addition to Chen Dahai, deputy commander of the East China Sea Fleet, as the military commander, Yao Wenhuan, minister of the Ministry of Rites, became the head of the Chinese mission this time. Although this department chief is always neglected in the center of the empire, although he is from the first rank in terms of rank, he finally found the sense of existence of the first rank of the kingdom.

The king of the Ryukyus, along with the queen, princes, princesses, and officials, knelt down to receive the "Heavenly Decree" of the kingdom. China does not allow its own citizens to kneel, but it does not matter if the vassal states want to kneel.

Yao Wenhuan recited in a proud, affectionate tone that there was actually no flowery rhetoric, Her Majesty the Empress only took a minute to dictate, and Feng Zhi, the female official of Fengyi Pavilion.

"In accordance with the imperial edict of Her Majesty the Empress of the Chinese Empire: Although the Ryukyu Kingdom is isolated overseas, the king is benevolent and simple, and he has been a vassal of China since the former Ming Dynasty, and his loyalty has not changed for three hundred years. Today, the Chinese king drove out the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restored Huaxia, which was the orthodoxy of Yan and Huang, and the return of the Ryukyus to China was in accordance with the mandate of heaven. I remember that the loyalty and courage of the Ryukyus people in China are no different from those of the people of this dynasty, and I gave the king of the Ryukyus the 'royal golden saber' and the people of Liuqiu 'the same national treatment'. Since then, 'the clan has been united and has shared the prosperity'. ”

The common official language of the Ryukyus is Chinese, and as the king of Liuqiu, he naturally understands Chinese, and he naturally understands the edicts that are easy to understand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress of the Asahi Kingdom, long live the Emperor, long live, long live!" the Ryukyu royal family and officials bowed together.

Then, Yao Wenhuan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, took out the "royal gold saber" inlaid with jade agate that "looked very valuable" and gave it to the king of the Ryukyus, who bowed his head and raised his hands respectfully and took the knife.

Yao Wenhuan is very satisfied with this feeling, but it is still good to have a degree, and Her Majesty the Empress also said that in the future, Ryukyu will take special care of the vassal states, try to be benevolent and righteous, and also have a little grace.

So, he personally lifted up the king of the Ryukyus and said, "The king is invited to get up quickly." ”

"Thank you, Angel of the Country. The king of the Ryukyus said, but found that the "angel" was unusually young, only in his thirties. This was also a common phenomenon in the Chinese Empire, where many high-ranking officials were young.

Then, a banquet was held at the Ryukyu royal palace to entertain the "angels", which will not be elaborated on for the time being.

However, it is said that after the Chinese mission Wenwu first settled in the capital of the Ryukyu king, everything was calm, and they were welcomed by the people of the Ryukyus.

The "Shangguo people" are all very civilized, worthy of being the "state of etiquette", which is completely different from the pirate ronin of the Satsuma Domain in Japan. They paid for food and shopping, and although some small traders in the Ryukyu Kingdom felt that it was an honor for their goods to be favored by the "people of the country" and did not want money, the people of the country insisted on giving them "copper coins" or "silver dollars" or "equivalent bills" that were commonly used in the country.

The people of the Ryukyus all over the country have set off a fever of "becoming kings", and seeing the clothes of the kingdom, whether it is the "Chinese-made hanfu" that civilian officials like to wear, or the snow-white uniforms of the navy, they are all considered a symbol of "civilization and nobility". Originally, the Ryukyuan people wore traditional clothes similar to Hanfu, and soon the folk imitated the special style of "China Shangguo".

The Ryukyu Imperial Family and the Hundred Officials were also satisfied, they had long been threatened and exploited by the Satsuma Domain of Japan, but the Chinese Empire, unlike Japan, would not kill people and rob things, nor would they grab land. The angel of the kingdom also said: "The empire is rich in things and people, and Her Majesty the Empress is full of wise and martial arts, civil and military officials, and China has no territorial or material requirements for Ryukyu." Just for the sake of the supply of the Royal Navy, if it wants to 'lease' Ryukyu land for a long time to build a military port, the empire will pay the rent of the Ryukyu country with grain, tea, and cloth worth 10,000 silver dollars every year. ”

Ryukyu is a small country with a shortage of materials, and if you can get 10,000 silver dollars worth of goods by renting land every year, the living standards of the people in the country will be greatly improved. Naturally, the king of the Ryukyus agreed.

So, Chen Dahu, deputy commander of the navy, took the guards and the engineers of the port construction to the port of Naha in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and looked at the excellent bay port, and the engineers nodded again and again. These engineers were formerly old craftsmen in the construction industry, and were selected by the Ministry of Industry from the private sector to work for the Empire, and the Empire issued "engineer" certificates, and although they were not officials, they were treated in the "grade system" of civil servants.

However, Naha is also a prosperous commercial port, mainly engaged in entrepot trade in East and Southeast Asian countries, and if it is to be converted into a naval port, then the king of the Ryukyus will probably be distressed.

However, the engineers were most satisfied with this place after walking through many places, and Chen Dahu thought about discussing it with Yao Wenhuan, the minister of rites, and asked him to negotiate terms with the king.

However, the sun was almost set, and he was hungry after a busy day, so he planned to go to Shuri Castle, the capital of the Ryukyu king, tomorrow and rest for the night in Naha.

On the way back to the city, the people here are still quite hot and prosperous, and Chen Dahu let everyone walk around at will.

Everyone is interested in the handicrafts and sauvenirs of the Ryukyu feudal domain, and it is important to know that the Chinese Empire's clean government stipulates that no money or silver or anything worth more than 50 taels can be given to the boss, but it is recommended that souvenirs and souvenirs can be given without hindering normal exchanges of gifts. They were the envy of many people in the empire when they went abroad, and if they returned to China without walking around or giving gifts to their superiors and acquaintances, according to Chinese custom.

Therefore, they will buy chic handicrafts or souvenirs from the foreign domain, and these gifts will definitely be liked by the ladies and wives of the official family. It seems that the style of gifts in the Chinese Dynasty is also developing in this regard, unless it is a corrupt official.

Chen Dahu looked up and saw a girl in the distance running towards this side in a panic, chasing behind him four people who were dressed in different costumes from the Ryukyuan, shouting and laughing, and the Ryukyuan people were so frightened that they dodged to the side.

The girl was immediately chased and surrounded by the four men, her eyes were full of fear, and a little Danhu man couldn't help but pounce on the girl's waist with lust in his eyes, and carried her up.

The girl shouted in Ryukyu dialect, struggling incessantly but to no avail.

Where has Chen Dahu seen such a thing in recent years? In the Chinese Empire, after being convicted of rape, heavy punishment was used, and the heavy punishment was death penalty, and the middle sentence was palace punishment. The strong/rape felons are concentrated in the crowd - the former gentry and bullies were sorted out during the land reform, and the police rewarded them for their bravery, and at present, few people in the empire dare to rob the people's women in broad daylight. Therefore, in China, there are many "appointments/cannons", "stealing/love" and "seducing/widows", but there are very few forcible / rape.

Chen Dahu was born in the Guangzhou Military Academy, where could the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven see this, and immediately ran over, and his figure flashed to block the way of those people.

"Put her down!"

When the Ryukyuan people saw the "Angel of God" coming forward to stop the ronin from the Satsuma Domain, they couldn't help but stand and watch from a distance.

The four ronins felt strange when they saw someone coming to stop them, but they still looked at this tall (1.75 meters) heroic man with high spirits. Nowadays, the Ryukyus pay tribute to Japan every year, and they enjoy it as a noble daimyo samurai, and several Ryukyu girls and Ryukyu kings dare not care.

A ronin representative stepped forward, his facial features were distorted, he glared at Chen Dahu, and a series of devilish words came out.

Chen Dahu glanced at it and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I said to let go of that girl, otherwise I'm welcome!"

Suddenly, a Ryukyu merchant who knew Chinese boldly came over and said in Chinese with a Fujian accent: "Angel of the Kingdom, these are the ronin samurai of the Satsuma Domain in Japan, who are rampant and domineering on weekdays, and no one dares to control us in the Ryukyus." We in the Ryukyus don't know how many girls have been destroyed in the hands of these ronins, this is also our country's weak people, helpless!"

When the ronin saw that there were Ryukyuan people and Chen Dahu saying things he didn't understand, he was furious and pulled out his sword and slashed at the Ryukyuan people.

Chen Dahuyan hurriedly pulled out the silver war knife carved with the flower kapok of the Guangzhou Military Academy, and quickly turned sideways and slashed at the ronin's wrist.

I saw a piece of crimson gushing out, and the ronin screamed, grabbed his broken wrist and fell to the ground to twitch.

The other ronin warriors saw it, and couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and the two warriors drew their swords and pounced, Chen Dahu practiced Nanquan before being admitted to the Guangzhou Military Academy, and his achievements in hand-to-hand fighting were outstanding. Later, he practiced swordsmanship in the military academy at that time, and the winner of the Golden Saber was stronger than him in some other subjects.

The "Empress Sword Technique" taught by the Chinese Military Academy is Yu Yao's condensed "broken sword, broken knife, broken gun" in the Dugu Nine Swords, the three aspects of "breaking the sword, breaking the knife, and breaking the gun" are easy and difficult to practice.

Chen Dahu happened to be relatively strong in this regard, and because he was the first in swordsmanship in school that year, he was often challenged by people.

The two ronins drew their swords and attacked one left and one right, and he flashed to the right quickly, so that the ronin on the left could not cut him in a moment from his companions. He took the saber to block the blow of the ronin on the right, and quickly used a "winding word duel" and "sliding word duel", the whole person took a step forward like lightning, the saber slid down the handle of the ronin's sword, and the sharp knife cut off his thumb, while his knife fell to the ground and screamed, Chen Dahu's blade crossed the ronin's carotid artery.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, and before the ronin on the left could react to the killing of another companion, he slashed at Chen Dahu with a knife in both hands.

Chen Dahu pushed the body of the ronin who was still spurting blood towards the attacking ronin for a while, but at the same time, he stabbed the sharp saber into the body of the ronin who had been wiped his neck, and stabbed the abdomen of the companion behind him, and the two of them were like two grasshoppers strung together.

Chen Dahu pulled out his saber and looked at the ronin samurai who was still pulling the Ryukyu girl.

The guards and engineers over there all surrounded Chen Dahu at this time, and the guards said, "Commander, why did you kill people?"

The guards still couldn't figure out the ins and outs of the incident, thinking that Chen Dahu, the deputy commander of the East China Sea Fleet, had killed the Ryukyuan, and that something serious was going to happen.

Suddenly, I saw that the people around me cheered and shouted, "Long live the heavens!"

The last ronin samurai pushed the girl away, his eyes turned red, he screamed, and he drew his sword and pounced, only to see the guards skillfully take out the fire/gun on his back and shoot at the man.

It was only twenty meters away, and the rifled flint fire/gun was loaded behind the rifle, and the hit rate was needless to say, and the powerful motive of the bullet opened a bright red blood flower on the ronin samurai's head, and finally he fell to the ground.

Out of the traditional gentlemanly demeanor of the Imperial Chinese Navy, Chen Dahu stepped forward to help the frightened Ryukyu girl and said, "Girl, you're not injured, are you?"

The girl's big eyes looked at the gentlemanly "Tian/Chao" man, she couldn't understand the official dialect of Tian/Chao, if he spoke Fuzhou dialect, she would understand. Ryukyu Chinese is close to Fuzhou dialect.

However, she still said thank you, Chen Dahu is from Guangdong, he understands a little Fuzhou dialect, and he said goodbye knowing that she was fine. However, before he could go far, the local officials of Ryukyu in Naha arrived, and there was a murder, which was naturally a major event, and it was the daimyo samurai of the Satsuma clan who died.

Naturally, Chen Dahu and the others were not "arrested," and when the Ryukyu magistrates saw that they were dressed as "angels," they had only the right to make a fuss, and invited them to the local officials' offices.

The local officials said that their murder was a serious incident, and Chen Dahu said: "I am Chinese, and according to the treaty between our dynasty and your country, if I commit a criminal case, my court has 'consular jurisdiction' and applies the laws of our court." ”

Chen Dahu is not afraid, because this belongs to "righteousness and courage" in China/China, those ronins are desperately not surrendering from beginning to end, and he is not too "righteous and courageous". When applying Chinese law, he will also be rewarded.

The Ryukyu official hurriedly said: "This is not what the lower official meant, how dare the country dare to offend the angel of the upper country, it is that the deceased is a daimyo samurai of the Satsuma Domain in Japan, and we can't afford to provoke it." Every year, we don't know how much money we have to pay to the Japanese shogun and the Satsuma domain, and it is common for ronin samurai to rob beautiful women when they see them in the Ryukyus, so we don't dare to ......."

Chen Dahu was furious: "Presumptuous!

The Ryukyu officials were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and cried, "Angels are angry!" The lord of the country does not want to, but since the invasion of the country by the general of the Satsuma clan a hundred years ago, the country has been bullied by its pirate ronin. It doesn't help to pay tribute. ”

Chen Dahu said angrily: "How can this be reasonable!"

Chen Dahu returned to Shouli Castle to consult with Yao Wenhuan, the minister of rites, and the Ryukyu officials also went to meet the Ryukyu king.

The next day, Yao Wenhuan entered the king of the Ryukyus and raised strong opposition to the one domain and two sects of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but the king of the Ryukyus cried directly, talking about the sorrow of the small country.

"Lord Angel, if it weren't for the fact that Xiao Wang didn't know what to do and didn't think of the grace of God/Country, the fact that Japan was rampant and domineering was different from the country of etiquette and education of the Heaven/Dynasty, and what could be done about the country in order to seek peace? ”

Yao Wenhuan's anger subsided for a while, and said: "My Majesty the Empress of the Chinese Empire is the co-lord of the world, no matter what the reason, the lord of Japan will definitely not be able to enjoy the same status as Her Majesty the Empress. You will not be allowed to pay tribute to Japan in the future. ”

The king of the Ryukyus suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty the Empress of Shang/Guo, save the little king!" 166 Reading Network
