The Xia Wanchun case and the emperor's slashing on the spot spread all over the world in a short period of time.

People were horrified by the ferocity of the Ming Emperor, and at the same time proud.

Honglu Temple wrote Zhu Cihong's words into an edict to the country, sent to the embassies, and the major newspapers of the Ming Dynasty were published on the front page, which set off a monstrous wave for a while.

The subjects of the Ming Dynasty have agreed, the emperor is strong, and my emperor is domineering.

There are also those who secretly scold Emperor Tianwu, and these people are all foreigners, especially the foreign envoys of the Taixi countries.

How can they tolerate such pretending and superiority in their colonization of the whole world and their self-conception of superiority?

Suppress, we must suppress Daming!

The Spanish foreign envoy even wrote a letter back to China, asking the royal family to send the main force of the expeditionary force to polish the sharpness of the Ming Dynasty!

The Spanish foreign envoy, who had just finished writing the letter, immediately went to the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs to discuss with the officials of the Ming Dynasty whether they could reduce Spain's trade tariffs.....

Nanjing City, in a commercial hall.

In the inner room, several men in Hanfu sat on the ground, solemn and serious, and everyone's expressions were faintly excited.

Sitting at the top was a young man of more than twenty years, named Sanghyun, the prince of the Ryukyus and the ninth king of the Ryukyus. (Da Ming has not yet been officially canonized)

Shang Xian is only in his twenties, but he seems mature and steady, this time he came to the Ming Dynasty, he divided his troops into two ways, let Wang Uncle Mao Taiyun, Chang Shi Jin Siyi and others go to Shanghai, attracting the attention of the Japanese.

The Ryukyu prince Shangxian himself secretly went straight to Nanjing with the Zhengyi doctor Jin Yingyuan, the envoy Ji Shifeng, and the capital secretary Zheng Sishan.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, after the death of King Shangfeng, the king of the previous Ryukyus, Shangxian succeeded him as the son, and only waited for the canonization of the Ming Dynasty to officially become the king of the Ryukyus.

However, ten years later, Sanghyun is still the son of the world.

Since the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Ryukyus began to fall into the puppet regime of the Satsuma Domain, and in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Japanese Satsuma Domain deprived the Ryukyu King of the title and changed it to the Ryukyu National Division.

Japan's surveillance of the Ryukyus became more and more stringent, especially the power of the Qing Kingdom.

Ten years ago, the Qing Kingdom captured the Japanese island of Kyushu, captured strong men everywhere to replenish the Eight Banners, and the Satsuma clan fled to Edo.

The Ming army drove the Qing army out of Liaodong and compressed it on the Korean Peninsula, and the Qing state in crisis was unable to conquer Japan, so it had to unite with Japan to fight against the Ming, and the Satsuma domain returned to Kyushu Island and jointly managed the Ryukyus with the Qing state.

Hong Chengchou's purpose is very obscure, he intends to train the Qing State, Japan, Ryukyu, and Spain's Luzon Island into a line, use Ryukyu to contain the Ming Dynasty, and block the Ming Royal Navy in the inland sea, just like the first island chain in later generations.

However, in the face of absolute strength, any blockade is nonsense, the Ming army only took a month to recover Taiwan, and more Ming troops and people set foot on Luzon, constantly compressing the Spanish colony.

Thinking of this, Shang Xian strengthened his determination to follow Da Ming.

"Gentlemen, you have all seen the sonorous and powerful national letter of the Ming Emperor! This letter has been circulated all over the embassies of various countries, and I am afraid that it will be sent back to Japan soon! ”

Sang-hyun's face was pale, obviously he had been ill for a long time, but his face was filled with excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Ryukyu Doctor Jin Yingyuan's face was flushed, and he was equally excited: "Look, Emperor Ming is really strong!" ”

"It's really relieving to slash the Japanese people!" The messenger should also be in harmony with the Tao at the auspicious time.

"Such a great country, my heart yearns! If I, the Ryukyus, can make such bold statements, even if the army is defeated by the Japanese army, it will be worth it! ”

The Ryukyu officials in the room talked about each other, and they deeply felt that the life of being a puppet was really difficult!

"Ahem! Cough!! ”

Shang Xian coughed lightly, his pale face with a hint of redness, and he said in a deep voice: "Now we have a great opportunity in front of us!" ”

After a pause, Shang Xian looked around at the ministers in the room, and continued: "The Japanese and the Qing demons are rampant and domineering in my Ryukyu, unscrupulous, I am the king of the Ryukyus, and I am heartbroken when I see the people being humiliated!" ”

After saying that, the Ryukyu officials in the hall all nodded secretly, a weak country has no diplomacy, Ryukyu is too weak, and it is always bullied!

Shang Xian seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said sonorously: "I have decided that the whole country of the Ryukyus will be included in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, some were surprised, and some were silent.

After a short silence, a middle-aged man with a mustache on his lips spoke: "Shizi, the minister agrees with your idea, but it is not easy to implement this matter. ”

"So what?"

Shang Xian smiled coldly and said, "Someone else proposed to a woman and was rejected, would you not marry a wife because of this?" ”

After a pause, Shang Xian said in a deep voice: "I believe that Emperor Tianwu is eloquent and ambitious, and his ambitions are far more than that, and he will definitely agree!" ”

After saying that, Sang-hyun coughed again, and the paleness on his face increased even more.

For the sake of the future of Ryukyu, and for the subjects of Ryukyu to be protected by the powerful Ming army like the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, Shangxian insisted on his own ideas, even if it was not the king of the Ryukyus!

A generation of Ryukyu kings can have such courage, and everyone here shows admiration.

Doctor Kim Ying-won asked, "Shizi, how is your health?" ”

Shang Xian waved his hand and said, "It's okay, for the sake of our Ryukyu prosperity, I can still hold on!" Arrange it as soon as possible, I want to meet the Emperor Ming! ”

"Yes!"

......

Three days later, the Ryukyu prince Shangxian, Changshi Jin Siyi, etc., held the text, the song and the seal, and entered the Forbidden City to congratulate.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, the Ryukyu delegation wore a costume no different from the Hanfu and a boat-shaped crown and hat, and stood there in a regular manner, waiting for the Ming Emperor to summon them.

This type of Liufu has wide sleeves, a belt knotted at the front, and a layer of gauze on the jacket, highlighting the strong Ming Dynasty clothing style.

The Ryukyu prince Naoxian, with his arms hanging at his sides, stood solemnly outside the hall, and he didn't know how long he had been standing.

"Shang Xian, the son of the Ryukyu Kingdom, please join the court, and go to the Hajj to see him!"

Suddenly, the eunuch's voice ran through the entire Fengtian Hall and reached Shang Xian's ears like a heavenly sound.

Shang Xian straightened up his clothes and strode into the magnificent Fengtian Palace.

"Minister, the prince of the Ryukyus, Shangxian, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, may my emperor live long live long live!"

Shang Xian respectfully bowed three times and bowed nine times.

"Ryukyu Shizi, flat body!"

Zhu Cihong on the throne smiled and raised his hand, and his words were full of easy-going.

Yesterday, I listened to the Honglu Temple's performance, and the prince of the Ryukyus personally entered the Hajj to see him, saying that there was a big event.

In fact, Zhu Cihong already knew about Shang Xian's arrival, and Daming's intelligence department was not a vegetarian, especially these people from other countries who came in from the customs.

It's just that the prince of the Ryukyus personally entered the Hajj, and it was the first time.

Zhu Cihong guessed that this son of the world was nothing more than asking the Ming Dynasty to officially canonize the King of the Ryukyus, and at most asking the Ming Dynasty to support him, clean up the Japanese, and return them to freedom.

Not to mention anything else, the attitude of the Ryukyu prince alone is very upright, very sensible, and makes people feel very comfortable.

Not only Zhu Cihong thought so, but the civil and military officials in the court were also very useful, smiling and nodding slightly.

Zhu Cihong behaved very kindly, and said kindly: "I don't know why the prince came to Daming in person?" ”

Shang Xian said respectfully: "His Majesty the Emperor, the ministers and the subjects of the Ryukyus, they admire the Chinese culture very much, and they admire the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Cihong was a little surprised, so active?
