King Shangfeng thanked Yan Changwu for his kindness, and set up a banquet in the main hall to entertain the people of the southeast province, Yan Changwu and King Shangfeng sat in the middle of a seat, King Shangfeng waited for a vacant seat on the left, the ancients respected the left, let the guests sit on the left to show respect to the guests, and the right side is the Ryukyu people and some Japanese people.

The Ryukyuan people could not expel the Japanese until they completely turned their backs.

There were Japanese people present, and the Ryukyuan people could only speak politely, ask about the situation of the Ming Dynasty, and say something that did not matter to the customs.

Yan Changwu and Chen Xinji answered one by one, with a warm attitude, showing respect for the master.

Got everyone's favor,

The Ryukyuan people greeted the guests and made delicious rice that was cooked with the best rice in the royal palace.

In addition, a variety of seafood dishes are served, including fresh prawns, large fish, sea cucumbers, and shellfish.

The meat includes chicken, pork, and a kind of rice wine with low concentration, so I will do everything I can to welcome you!

After three rounds of drinking, King Shangfeng gave Shang Rang a look, and the latter understood, and then King Shang Feng said: "Although our country lives overseas, I admire the kingdom very much, and I have always kept the imperial things given by the kingdom to our kingdom, so my son Shang Rang will accompany the overseer to have a look!" Can? ”

"Good!" Yan Changwu agreed.

So the young prince Shang Rang led the way and led Yan Changwu to visit.

Wherever Yan Changwu went, his personal guards followed closely to protect him.

Those Japanese people were afraid of the force of the Ming people, and secondly, they still let their usual performance be "good", close to the Japanese people, and they would not talk nonsense, so they did not stop them, and no one followed.

Shang Rang took Yan Changwu to the second floor of the main hall, the original first floor was the king's reception hall, and the second floor was hung with the imperial pen plaque inscribed by the Chinese emperor to the successive Ryukyu kings, and also enshrined the canonization edict and gifts given by the Ming Dynasty to the Ryukyu king, all of which were properly preserved, even when the Japanese invaded, the things on the second floor were also well preserved.

The farthest edict was promulgated by Zhu Yuanzhang's brother, which was in the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1372), and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, sent an envoy Yang Zai to carry the edict to Ryukyu, and the edict called it Ryukyu. From then on, it became the official name. It can be seen that even the name of the Ryukyu Kingdom was chosen by China.

The edict saw the real thing and said, "...... I was recommended by my subjects, enthroned as emperor, and must have the name of the world called Daming, Jianyuan Hongwu. It is used to send envoys to foreign countries, broadcast the intentions of the people, and when the envoys arrive, the barbarian chieftains call the ministers to pay tribute. Weier Ryukyu, in the southeast of China, far from overseas, has not been reported. I hereby send an envoy to send an edict to know it......

Except for the fact that China was the center and used words such as "barbarian" used by Chinese emperors, this edict did not mean to threaten or intimidate, and was a kind of peaceful diplomacy.

At that time, the king of Zhongshan in the Ryukyu Kingdom was the first to receive the edict, and immediately sent Wang Di Tai Qi to come to China with Yang Zai to be a minister.

The name of the country was taken, and even the surname of the king was given by the Ming Dynasty, and there was an edict in which Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty (Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di) gave the ruler of the Ryukyus the surname "Shang".

The emperor's imperial pen and gold seal are obvious, although they have gone through a long time, they are still majestic and powerful!

It is enshrined in a sandalwood box, and if it weren't for Yan Changwu, it should not be easily touched.

Shang Rang had to wash his hands with water, dry his hands, and offer incense, so he solemnly asked for the holy decree and asked Yan Changwu to read it.

Then there is the Ming Dynasty emperor just gave the Ryukyu king the leather Ben (that is, the crown), called the jade crown, the style is the Tang official hat, there are gold belts, gold hairpins and all kinds of gemstones, brilliant and considerable!

A booklet is a chronicle of major events in the Ryukyus, all of which are recorded with the era name and calendar of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also written in Chinese characters!

Yan Changwu looked at these items, and to be honest, his heart fluctuated.

The far-sea island --- Ryukyu, which our ancestors once owned, was orthodox in China, but after more than 200 years, it was robbed by the Japanese and renamed Okinawa Prefecture!

The Ryukyuan people were not reconciled, and the brave Ryukyuan people actually committed suicide in Beijing, begging China not to abandon the Ryukyus, but the country was in a difficult situation, and China could not keep the Ryukyus in the end.

At the end of World War II, the international convention stated that Ryukyu was not part of the territory of the Japanese people, but Sam Kingdom and the Japanese people were embarrassed, and the Japanese finally won the Ryukyus.

Pain, hate!

Now that I'm here, Yan Changwu, Ryukyu will enter my China!

The cigarette smoke curled up, and his thoughts were far-reaching: once he gained a name in the Ming Dynasty, he immediately erected a monument in the Ryukyus in his name, even if he did not have the name of the Ming Dynasty, and set up my Chinese name, which is for my Chinese land.

As for the way of governance, it is not a problem, one country, two systems have been seen, and the Ming Dynasty also has the example of Mujiashi Town Yunnan in front, as long as he is still in the family town of Ryukyu, diplomacy and military affairs are in charge of the Southeast Government, and internal affairs are determined by him!

In the future, if the descendants dare to abandon our Chinese land, they will be a national thief, and the people of the world will attack it together!

Dare to take my country of the Ryukyus, it is for the enemy country, and the national war is served!

The third floor worships heaven and earth, so that heaven and earth, the Ming Dynasty, and the Ryukyus each live on one floor, which fully demonstrates the respect of the Ryukyus for the Ming Dynasty!

Shang let Yan Changwu go up to the third floor, everyone saluted heaven and earth in the morning, he looked around and saw no outsiders, bowed to the ground, and said: "I beg the Overseer to save me Ryukyu!" ”

Yan Changwu pretended to be puzzled and asked: "The Ryukyus are harmonious and friendly with the Japanese people, why worry?" ”

Shang Rang said hatefully: "The ambition of the wolf son of the wolf has been wanting to annex our country for a long time!" ”

In the 37th year of Wanli (1609), the Tokugawa Shogunate of the Wa Kingdom sent the Satsuma clan to invade Korea. He also captured more than 100 people including the Ryukyu king Shōnin to Kagoshima until September 19, 1611 (the 16th year of Keichō in Japan), when King Shōnin was forced to sign the "Fifteen Articles" with the Satsuma Domain, recognizing the Satsuma Domain's control over the Ryukyus. At the same time, the five islands of Amami (i.e., Kikai Island, Tokunoshima Island, Amami Oshima, Okinagabu Island, and Yoron Island) were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Satsuma Domain, and they were released and survived. In addition, the Ryukyus were forced to send envoys to meet with the shogun, a move known as "Kamiedo". After that, the Shimazu clan became the master of the Chu-Ryu trade, and the Japanese people increasingly exploited the Ryukyus, and the Ryukyuan people lived in embarrassment.

Shang Rang said with tears in his eyes: "We pay tribute to the kingdom, and the kings of all dynasties have been sealed by the kingdom of heaven, and they have never slackened off when they go to the kingdom to pay tribute!" ”

"The Japanese killed my people, occupied my islands, took my property, and had a grudge against my Ryukyus!"

"Fortunately, with the blessing of Mazu Niangniang and the overseer, I will be able to sweep the waves, return my land, and avenge my blood revenge, then my Ryukyu people will be grateful!" Shang Rang kowtowed, bowed again and again, and begged: "But ask the Overseer to agree, and we will wait for the expulsion, and we will never give up!" ”

Yan Changwu helped him up and said: "The Japanese people are despicable, and they do things that are indignant to the people and gods, and this seat has long seen that they are not pleasing to the eye, and since your country has invited them, this seat will help with this matter." ”

Shang let the great joy and gratitude.

Yan Changwu said: "I have a giant soldier here, killing the Japanese people is like killing a dog's ear, and leave them to live for two days, everyone celebrates today, do not use the sword soldiers, visit the country tomorrow, do not use the troops for the time being, you can do it the day after tomorrow!" ”

He made a plan with Shang Rang, and then secretly said to Shang Rang: "If there is a rebellion, if it is unavoidable, you can take my jade pendant to the warship to take refuge." ”

Yan Changwu admired Shang Rang more and felt that he had talent, and if something happened, he could be made the new monarch to take care of him.

After everyone finished the discussion, they went down to the first floor, the host diligently persuaded the wine, and the guests thanked them for their kindness and dispersed happily.

That night, the flagship departed from Hong Kong, and Yan Changwu stayed in the open sea.

Safety first, for his safety, the Southeast Mansion is vigilant all the time to ensure his safety.
