Chapter 149: The Giant Whale Devours Fusang

Liangchen County?

Siba...

Li Yanzhao's suggestion made Wei Gonggong's pupils dilated a little, if it weren't for his old man taking a deep breath in time and suppressing the waves in his heart, it is very likely that he would not be able to wait for Ding Xiaogong to use suona to blow him a song "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" and lie flat on the ground.

"Father-in-law?"

After noticing that Gonggong Wei's expression was extremely unnatural, Li Yanzhao was also a little flustered, because he realized that his proposal was very stupid - how could there be a place named after a living person in the world.

To put it mildly, you Li Yanzhao has a bad idea;

Let's talk about the point, do you kid want to curse your father-in-law to die early? … So that he can inherit his old man's great career and flower-like beauty?

"The end... The last will be... It's so casual, casually, father-in-law... If you don't like it, the last general thinks... Think of something else..."

Li Yanzhao, who was too nervous, stammered a little when he spoke, sweat oozed from his forehead, and in the end, he knelt down to Gonggong Wei with a "plop" sound, and made amends again and again: "The last general should die, the last general is confused, please forgive the father-in-law, the last general should die, how could the last general come up with such a bad idea..."

"Huh? What are you doing? Our family even blamed you! ”

This time, Father-in-law Wei was really surprised, he helped Li Yanzhao with one hand, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said, "Your idea is very good, it's a very good idea, why didn't our family think of it." Liangchen County, well, good, good..."

The public laughed openly, it was not in vain that he valued Li Yanzhao so much on weekdays, and promoted him from a small banner all the way to the rank of deputy general, which was indeed the best at a critical time.

Ryukyu reform ministers, like the emperor's uncle becomes the emperor's book, wonderful, wonderful!

"Is my father-in-law really good?" Li Yanzhao wasn't sure if Gonggong Wei was telling the truth or a lie at this moment.

"Good!"

Father-in-law Wei clearly affirmed.

After hesitating for a while, Li Yanzhao cautiously reminded Gonggong Wei of the taboo of naming a living person.

After hearing this, Gonggong Wei smiled again, flicked his oil head, smeared the flour, lit a Chinese stick, and said in the smoke: "What is there to taboo, there will be death in life, but die early and die late." If a person dies, what will be left in the world but flesh and blood? Therefore, your proposal is very good, which greatly broadens our family's horizons, and our family will take the lead in making a sample, and change the name of Ryukyu to Liangchen, and there will be Wenyao Mansion and Yanzhao County in the future, which will not only help to make the king of the newly developed land, but also allow our meritorious soldiers to go down in history and be remembered by future generations. ”

"This is definitely not a taboo, but an honor, the highest honor for the soldiers of the Imperial Army!"

Gonggong Wei made the final decision.

"The idea of the father-in-law is really the thought of the times, the thought of standing on the highest peak of the world, and it is comparable to the end! Compared with his father-in-law, the last general is simply a pond fish and a well frog..."

Li Yanzhao said from the bottom of his heart that the words "era" and "world", which often appear many times in Wei Gong's speech, are the most representative of his father-in-law.

"The progress of mankind depends on the progress of ideas, and the history of mankind also depends on the innovation of ideas. Yan Zhao, as long as you dare to think and dare to do, you will find that the world that belongs to us is very exciting..."

Father-in-law Wei, who was interested, talked with Li Yanzhao very much, especially explained in detail the significance of this expedition to Japan, hoping that Li Yanzhao could shine in this battle of the Japanese expedition and make brilliant achievements for the emperor and himself.

Suddenly, my father-in-law stopped and looked at Li Yanzhao suspiciously: "Comrade Yanzhao, why do you think that you seem to be touting our family without limits?" What about unprincipled catering to our family? ”

"How so? In the eyes of the last eye, the father-in-law's mind is like heaven and earth..."

Li Yanzhao hurriedly defended that his reverence for his father-in-law was from the bottom of his heart and from the heart, because if it weren't for his father-in-law's wise eyes on him, how could he, Li Yanzhao, become the youngest co-captain of the imperial army.

"Our family has said many times that our comrades must treat others sincerely, know how to criticize and self-criticize, always be new every day, and never make statements against their will..."

Gonggong Wei was vigilant in his heart, as a senior leading cadre of the imperial army, he must not lose his vigilance against sycophants, which would mislead the army, the country and the people.

"Father-in-law, as the last general said before, only incompetent people will be praised by others is the so-called sycophancy, and only unconfident people will be afraid of praise from the outside world..."Li Yanzhao said sincerely.

The father-in-law nodded, he understood this truth.

He thinks that he is indeed too careful, Li Yanzhao is not a sycophant as he imagined, but a follower and admirer of himself.

In the end, Li Yanzhao expressed his position, he said: "The last general will only read his father-in-law's books in this life, listen to his father-in-law's words, do things according to his father-in-law's instructions, and be a good subordinate of his father-in-law!" ”

"Don't just talk and don't practice, show your true skills, and prove yourself with actions!"

The father-in-law was very satisfied, and asked Li Yanzhao to carry forward the spirit of the imperial army in this conquest of Japan, and to dedicate himself to the great cause of the empire.

"Japan, the ancient Fuso, and our emperor before the Ming Dynasty had a grudge against the enemy, and after the hatred of the Kou domain, now our empire's sea and land soldiers will be guided by the great military thinking of the father-in-law, so that the small country of Japan knows that the clown jumps the beam, and there will be no good end!"

Li Yanzhao raised his arms, willing to lead the 6th Infantry Wing to be the first to set foot on the land of Edo.

The subordinates were so determined to make Wei Gong's poetry prosperous, and immediately chanted a poem, poem:

"The cannon opened up and bombarded his mother, and Weijia Hai returned to his hometown.

Several heroes Xi Wei Liangchen, Ande giant whale devouring Fusang. ”

……

Cannon blast!

The Ryukyu monarchs did not have any joy of recovering the country, but hung their heads.

After learning that the admiral eunuchs of the Ming Imperial Army actually asked the Ming Emperor to withdraw the Ryukyus from the feudal domain and change it to a prefecture (county), the Ryukyu monarchs and ministers led by Shang Ning and Shang Feng and his son came to the ruling government to express their firm opposition to this matter.

"Before the huge military expenses of the imperial army are paid off, the Ryukyu Kingdom should cease to exist, and the military and civilians should consider themselves subjects of the Ming Dynasty, this is not to be discussed!"

"There was an old Toyotomi precedent before, what kind of face did the Shang father and son oppose?"

"Our imperial army was ordered by the Son of Heaven to fight for the sun, and now in order to restore the Ryukyus, our officers and soldiers have suffered countless casualties, and the cost is even greater.

"You can truthfully tell the Shang family father and son that my emperor has no territorial ambitions for the Ryukyus, but my emperor Ming has contributed a lot to the restoration of the Shang family father and son, and if the Shang family knows the shame, he should be allowed to lease his country to my emperor, and after my emperor Ming collects and repays the military expenses, he can return his country."

Cao Wenyao, commander of the Guards Division, relayed the original text of Gonggong Wei's speech.

Shang Ning and Shang Feng father and son were speechless, because long before the Satsuma Domain invaded Ryukyu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had asked Ryukyu to bear part of the military expenses for the conquest of Korea, to which the Shang family and his son agreed.

In addition, whether it was the Toyotomi period or the Tokugawa period, the Ryukyus were completely duplicitous, and there were many more pro-Japanese elements in the country than pro-Ming elements.

Therefore, since the Shang father and son were able to sell their sovereignty to Japan and act as accomplices, then the emperor had the power to sanction them. However, considering that Ryukyu was also nominally a vassal of the Ming Dynasty after all, Gonggong Wei gave a proper solution, that is, the Ryukyu Kingdom must bear the military expenses of the imperial army's expedition. Military expenses will be offset by future taxes from the Ryukyus Kingdom.

"General Cao, the imperial army came from afar to rescue my father and son, and it is reasonable that my father and son should repay the kindness of the imperial army, but I don't know what is the term of leasing our country proposed by Lord Angel?" Shang Feng, who has been a hostage in Japan for two years, is still a person who knows current affairs and knows the truth that his arms can't reach his thighs.

"Ninety-nine years."

What Cao Wenyao said was that this time was set by Duke Wei.
