After they came to the Ryukyus, they received great respect from the royal palace to the people, and most of them were entrusted with important responsibilities, participated in important political, economic, and cultural activities, and enjoyed high-ranking officials for generations, becoming a famous family with great influence in the Ryukyu Kingdom. Because they live in Kume Village, they are called the "Kumeshi people".

There is also a theory that after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Chinese immigrated to the Ryukyu Kingdom in large numbers. According to the Zhongshan Shijian, the official history of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the Qing army invaded the south and the Ming Dynasty fell, and some Chinese who did not want to be "slaves to the country" fled across the sea from the coastal areas of Fujian to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and a total of 36 families came to Ryukyu at that time, living in Kume Village near Shuri Castle.

At that time, the Chinese had a higher level of education and skills than the Ryukyuan, so these Chinese soon became the "warrior clan" of the Ryukyu Kingdom, in addition to being officials, they were also responsible for trade and exchanges with China, and among the descendants such as Cheng Shunze, Cai Wen, and Lin Shigong were outstanding representatives of the descendants of the Min people.

I prefer the second statement. Because in terms of the situation at that time, it was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to send the scholar to Ryukyu. Because at that time, he didn't even have enough scholars to govern the imperial court. Moreover, Ryukyu is only an island country, so it is enough to give some shipwrights and craftsmen for the convenience of travel. It is impossible to give them some well-educated people. And at that time, Ryukyu was regarded as a wild land by the Ming Dynasty. Those scholars may not be willing to go to remote places to serve as officials, let alone to go to a wild place for the people. But for the sake of storytelling, this article adopts the first statement.

Liu Pei nodded in understanding. A moment later, the men approached. Liu Pei found that they were all dressed in high class, which showed that the status of these people in the Ryukyus was not low. In total, more than a dozen people came. The man who walked in front was about 40 years old and dressed as a scholar. Dressed in a blue cloth and wrapped in a square scarf around his head. With three locks of long hair, he looks quite good.

This person led a group of people forward and threw Liu Peichang to the ground. Liu Pei naturally returned the courtesy. After the two sides stood still, the man said, "In Xia Liang Jinsheng." Dare to ask the general's surname? ”

The general that Liang Jinsheng said was just an honorific title for Liu Pei. Because he commanded the soldiers and horses, and the people present did not know Liu Pei, he naturally had to be called a general. At this time, Liu Pei was still wearing huge goggles, and no one could see his face clearly. And Liu Pei himself did not intend to expose his identity when he came this time. So he said, "My surname is Liu." What is the so-called thing that the gentleman is asking to see? ”

Liang Jinsheng said: "I heard that the general was invited by my king to expel the Japanese people, but is there such a thing? ”

Liu Pei nodded and said, "That's true." After a hard battle, all the Japanese people on the island have been wiped out. The rest of the Japanese were also captured. ”

Liang Jinsheng's eyes flashed, and he arched his hand with a happy face and said: "Thank you general for expelling the Japanese people for my king, I think my king will be grateful in the future!" ”

Liu Pei was furious when he heard this! I feel that this person has a ghost in his heart. This Liang Jinsheng positioned Liu Pei in the position of the mercenary in one sentence, obviously asking Liu Pei to leave after the battle. But how could Liu Pei of the Ryukyus let go? At the same time, the news that King Shangfeng's family died in the fire had already spread, but this person pretended not to know, obviously trying to take advantage of this matter!

If King Shangfeng is alive, he will be a great contributor to preventing Liu Peijiu from occupying the magpie's nest. If King Shangfeng dies, he only needs to support a person with the blood of the Shang family as the king, and then he will still be a person above ten thousand people under one person.

He obviously wanted to be greedy for Liu Pei's merits for his own use, and used his power to steal the fruits of victory. Once Liu Pei does not respond properly, he will fall into his trap. At that time, this person will incite public opinion to make things difficult for Liu Pei. This kind of person is the most hateful! When the Japanese came, they either tried their best to please them or hid and shrank into a ball. If the Japanese people become powerful after a long time, such people will cooperate with the Japanese people to seek benefits. At this time, when he saw that the Japanese were expelled, he jumped out to reap the benefits.

Liu Pei secretly made a note of this person and put him on the must-kill list. With such people, Ryukyu can't be quiet. What Liu Pei needs is a land that can be transformed into strength, not a land full of contradictions. However, Liu Pei has long been concerned about this matter. He squinted and smiled slightly and said, "I fought for my own land, why should I ask for the reward of others?" ”

Liang Jinsheng and the people behind him suddenly changed their faces when they heard this! Liang Jinsheng said: "The general is joking, right? This Ryukyu is the Ryukyu of the Shang family, how did it become the Ryukyu of the shogun? ”

Liu Pei said: "The Japanese are powerful, do you think everyone is willing to have a dirty relationship with the Japanese country?" I took such a big risk, of course, and there was a reward. On that day, King Shangfeng promised me to expel the Japanese people, and give me half of the country! So from today onwards, half of the land of the Ryukyus is mine! ”

When Liang Jinsheng heard this, he said loudly: "How can there be such a thing? General, stop talking nonsense! How can there be such a thing as dividing half of the country! ”

Liu Pei stretched out his hand to his side, and Liu Jiang took out something from his arms and handed it to him. It looks like just a plain white cloth. Liu Pei unfolded it in front of Liang Jinsheng and others, and everyone looked carefully, and the small white cloth between them read: If you can expel the Japanese people and restore our Ryukyus, you should thank half of the country. or be called kings, and be brothers. There is also the signature of King Shangfeng below. The handwriting was hastily scribbled, and the handwriting was actually dark red, and the white cloth smelled fishy. It turned out that the handwriting was written in blood.

This thing was naturally forged by Liu Pei. It's just the old wisdom of imitating the edict of the Han Dynasty. But at this time, King Feng is dead, and there is no proof. And Liu Pei used this blood book as a basis, and it was naturally easy to obtain half of the Ryukyus. Even if you take advantage of the situation, it is easy to swallow the whole Ryukyus! But what Liu Pei said is right! Without great benefits, who would risk their lives to fight against that country with that?

Liang Jin was so angry that he said, "This blood book must be a forgery!" ”

Liu Pei immediately sank his face and said, "I'll give you another chance to say what you just said again!" ”

Liang Jinsheng saw that the family behind Liu Pei had already pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and his heart suddenly panicked! This kind of person is like this, he doesn't know that ambition must match strength, otherwise it will be a dead end! He hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's a gaffe!" Gaffes! ”

At this moment, a family member ran over and said, "Tell the head of the family, the people of Ryukyu who helped clean up the fire found the corpses of King Shangfeng's family!" ”

Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

By the time Liu Pei arrived, the bodies of King Shangfeng's family had been carried out and placed on several pieces of white cloth. The family's bodies looked intact, but they had been blackened. However, they were in the middle of the Japanese people, and they had not been burned much, and their bodies were still roughly intact. What made Liu Pei happiest was that the corpses of Shangfeng Wang's family had large and small knife wounds! Everyone had at least three or four stab wounds on their bodies, and King Shang Feng had the most knife wounds on his body, with six or seven wounds! The most obvious stab was to cut at his neck, almost cutting it off! This is obviously those Japanese people in order to vent their anger at the last moment, slashed and killed King Shangfeng's family!

Liu Pei was overjoyed when he saw the wound! I sighed in my heart that these widows were on the road, and they knew how to cooperate with themselves! So Liu Pei turned to Liang Jinsheng and the others and said, "Come up and have a look." ”

Liang Jinsheng and the others couldn't wait to come forward to watch, and they could easily see the knife wounds on the corpse. Some of them immediately burst into tears, denouncing the cruelty and ferocity of the Japanese people. Some of them stood on their feet. There are also people who don't care to pay homage, so they bite each other's ears there.

Seeing this, Liu Pei instructed Ding to say: "Open the encirclement and let those people also come to see." ”

The family members let go of the encirclement, and many people cowered and walked inside the wall. Compared with Liang Jinsheng and these people, the people are a little more sincere than them! They were very excited to see the corpses of King Shangfeng's family, and when they saw their miserable death, they wept one after another. There are also people who threaten to take revenge on the Japanese people!

Liu Pei commanded in a low voice: "Liu Jiang, go find some monks and Taoist priests to give King Shangfeng's family what to do." Qi Qitao, and then went to find a coffin to bury them. Wu Yizhou, you go and arrange someone to build a funeral shed. Remember, monks and Taoists should be fast. The coffin should be slower, understand? ”
