The 500 Marines stood up with a very loud and neat "snap". The standard-bearers saluted the supreme leader with the flag of the Southeastern Province flattened, and the commanders began to salute, while the rank-and-file soldiers raised their bayonet-mounted rifles. It's a gun salute.

Their eyes moved with Yan Changwu's footsteps, and their movements were uniform!

"Hello officers and soldiers!" Yan Changwu raised a golden scepter in his hand and said.

He was immediately greeted by the Marines, "Good Overseer! ”

"Everyone's worked hard!" Yan Changwu said again.

"Serve the Southeastern Mansion!"

As soon as he said it, the atmosphere was strong.

Fully feeling everyone's awe of their leader, Shang Chi's face was filled with joy.

It is a great opportunity to have such a leader, and he has good intentions towards the Ming Ryukyu Kingdom!

As for the senior officers under Yan Changwu, their eyes sometimes glanced at the scepter in Yan Changwu's hand, and according to the rumors revealed, this was probably the marshal's scepter!

There is the rank of "marshal" in the military ranks of the southeast province, which represents the highest military rank of a military general.

At present, the stalls are still small, there are few battles, there are very few officers of the rank of generals, and they are far from marshals.

Yan Changwu created a scepter, held it in his hand, it is half a meter high, the cross-sectional circle is 3.5 centimeters, the whole body is made of silver, both ends are gold, the top cover is a gold four-clawed dragon (scaled), and the other end is a military pattern, such as the navy's sail battleship with cannons, made of silver. In the middle of the hand-held segment, there is a small silver pattern of "stars, peaks and oceans" of the southeast province, and the dragon logo of the small gold pattern is interspersed with it.

is extravagant, and everyone is very hot.

The rumor that this was the marshal's scepter was released by Yan Changwu, he didn't say it directly to his face, and the subtext was obvious: "The marshal's scepter is ready, if you have the ability, come and get it!" "In this way, the high-ranking officers are encouraged to work hard for meritorious service and compete for the marshal's scepter!

"Let's go to the palace to meet the king of your country!" Chen Xinji proposed, and Shang Zhi said happily: "Great! ”

They rode into the city, and the transport ships of the Southeast Province brought some tall horses, and Shang Zhi was also assigned a horse to sit on, led by the soldiers of the Southeast Province.

Three hundred troops followed closely, and the speed of the horses was not fast, along the route Shang Zhi introduced Shuri Castle to Yan Changwu.

The city is built by the sea, there is a harbor, and next to it is farmland, but seeing that the farming is not prosperous, the crops are growing half-dead, and the people generally have vegetables.

Shuri Castle is dominated by red lacquer, running north-south, the dome design of the main hall is a typical Tang style gate, carved beams and painted buildings, golden dragons circling, its layout is built according to the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty in the same period, of course, it is a shrunken version.

Entering the royal city, and then entering the palace city, the troops of the southeast mansion were deployed all the way, anyway, Yan Changwu followed wherever he went, and even the dove occupied the magpie's nest and stood at the city gate and the palace gate, and Shang Zhi didn't say a word!

It wasn't until the main hall of the palace that the troops of the Southeast Mansion stopped, giving the master's family a face.

Its main hall is the largest building in the Ryukyu Kingdom and faces west (this is the direction of the Central Plains Powers!). There are three floors, 29 meters wide, 17 meters deep, about 16 meters high, eleven rooms and seven entrances, there are five rooms in front of the hugging building, the center of the top of the heavy eaves rest is the style of the Tang Dynasty.

……

The king of the Ryukyus was King Shangfeng, who was born thin, had three long beards, and wore a red gown, and a hat similar to that of a Tang official.

Behind the throne where he was sitting, there were actually two little ghosts, namely the Japanese Sanki Takashi and Tanaka Yan, showing their control over the Ryukyus.

The King and the Overseers were separated by a few steps, and there was no conversation at first.

Who speaks first?

King Shangfeng left his seat, descended the steps, and said to Shi Li: "Shangfeng of the Ming Ryukyu Kingdom welcomes the overseers of the southeast mansion of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Yan Changwu bowed to him and said: "Yan Changwu, the overseer of the southeast mansion of the Ming Dynasty, has seen His Royal Highness King Shangfeng of the Ming Ryukyu Kingdom!" ”

Chen Xinji explained: "My lord is the son of God, the reincarnation of the golden boy under the throne of the concubine Mazu, and it is a peaceful ceremony!" ”

This is a good excuse for Yan Changwu not to kneel to others, he will not tolerate kneeling to others, so it is very important to give himself the title of "Son of God".

With such courtesy, the Ryukyu Kingdom was satisfied, and the other party came with a large number of soldiers and huge ships, and had the power to destroy the country, and also maintained due respect for the king.

But Tanaka, the Japanese man, shouted in Chinese: "Bold! The king is the lord of a country, you should worship with a great salute, you do not have the official position of the Ming Dynasty, nor the edict of the Emperor of the Heavens, dare not kneel down to worship! ”

He had a good idea, if Yan Changwu knelt down to the king of the Ryukyus, and their Japanese people were still above the king, wouldn't it be wise

Everyone looked sideways, and Chen Xinji said unhappily: "Where did the wild dog come from, the master hasn't spoken yet, and he is barking there!" ”

"Baga, dare to say that I am a wild dog, I see that you are impatient!" Tanaka pulled out his sword and took a step forward, stopping in his tracks.

Brush, a dozen muskets aimed at him!

At close range, there are pistols and shotguns, the muzzle is black and holed, the key is that the gun bearer has an expressionless face and a cold look, they are all killers!

In addition to Yan Changwu's personal guards, even the high-ranking military attache also got one or even two pistols aimed at Tanaka Yan.

Tanaka had no doubt that as long as he took another step forward, he would be full of guns!

His face turned pale and he retreated to his place!

The grievances and anger in my heart are indescribable, but the Ryukyuan people in the palace are deeply happy!

……

King Shang Feng and Yan Changwu sat on the same level and had a cordial and friendly conversation, one said that the Overseer had worked hard from afar, and the other said that His Royal Highness the King had governed the country well, and everyone was an official article anyway.

Yan Changwu sent a gift to King Shangfeng!

It is 10,000 jin of rice, 1,000 jin of dried venison, it turns out that the territory of the southeast province is suitable for raising deer, all wild deer are Yan Changwu's, whoever fights will catch him (the things of the sea are allowed to fight, he is not a fishing tyrant, everyone will recognize him as a mountain tyrant, very honest and consciously abide by it, as long as the Chinese have a glimmer of life, they will not rebel), so he has a steady stream of wild deer into the account, he opened a deer breeding farm, killing a lot of deer every year, making jerky, mainly for the army officers to eat, and then as a gift.

There is also a load of toffee (100 catties), 10 barrels of rum, and 100 horses of silk.

Of course, they won't bring things up, and someone will read the gift list, and send milk candy as a temple!

It's all good stuff, and it makes the Ryukyus people feel excited.

Today's Ryukyu was overexploited by the Japanese people, and its own productivity was not strong, so even the ministers mainly ate sweet potatoes, and although there were fish to eat, rice and venison drooled when they thought about it.

Shangguo, sure enough, Shangguo!

Especially when everyone eats milk candy, the impact of taste is incomparable!

The people in the southeast mansion all had smug smiles on their faces, and they admired the milk candy invented by their own boss, and the boss said that this milk candy was a heavenly food, and it was really oh!

As a gift, it's really unstoppable.

Those British devils were particularly knowledgeable about the goods, and desperately pestered Chen Xinji to relax the trade blockade, and finally bought the shareholder Nanfu Sugar Factory with 30,000 gold pounds, without involving business, so that the sugar factory could expand its production capacity, and mainly get 1,000 quintals of milk candy to sell to them at cost price.

The Japanese people in the temple also got a taste of milk candy, and their eyes lit up, obviously with some kind of ghost idea.
