At this time, the ruling power of the Ryukyus was still the Zhongshan King Shangning, who had entered the twilight of his years (see Article 16 in the "Relevant Materials", and these years were sandwiched between Fuso and the Ming Dynasty, which often made him in a dilemma.

Even so, it was not until the decline of the Ming Dynasty that the Qing people entered the customs that the official contact could not be maintained and the contact was completely severed.

It is located in the subtropics, so Ryukyu has the best seaside. At the same time, because it is composed of many small islands, it can be said that it is our Hawaii in China, an ideal naval base for advancing into the Pacific.

Today, the Ryukyus are actually in their fifties and still the prince of the world, Shang Yuan, whose people are upright and fair, and the development of the maritime entrepot trade between the East and the West in recent years has also made the Ryukyus quite rich, and there is a Dutch Hongmaoyi Museum on the island. At the same time, there were still 2,000 Fuso troops stationed near the royal castle "Shuri Castle" in the capital "Naha Castle", which was called protection and was actually overseer.

The leader of the garrison was Naomasa Shimazu, the youngest son of the Shimazu family of the Fuso Satsuma Domain. It is rumored that the sword is like a god, and it is extremely brave in battle, and it is also somewhat famous in Fuso, and is called the "Tiger of Shimazu".

For what this "Shimazu Tiger" did, Shangwu, the son of the prince Shangyuan, could only endure it again and again. He is not an opponent in terms of swordsmanship, and in terms of the strength of his family, although the Shang family still has the title of "King of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty". However, Fusang, who is now in the "peaceful and prosperous era", is not afraid of the early Ming Dynasty, who would be afraid of him, the feudal king of half of the Ming Dynasty, and the Shang family of half Fusang's slaves.

Among the 300,000 people on the island, there are not only people from the Ming side who came to avoid trouble, but also businessmen who came from Fuso. I don't know why the people on both sides often clash, and it is often the Chinese who suffer, and the Shangjia family has to endure the often lawless hegemony and robbery of the Fuso people.

Although the Shang family is inclined to Chinese in trouble. Their kindness, generosity, and ability to do business made the island richer and richer, and the Chinese were welcomed by the Shang family. But now there is a Fusang garrison on the island, and they will only help the Fuso people to bully the Chinese.

Shang Yuan, the son of the prince, is very dissatisfied with what the Fuso people have done over the years, but the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty is undecided, the country is crumbling, and the Ryukyus family cannot compete with Fuso at all. The heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient, and the Shang family has no choice but to watch coldly.

Now the latest trend on the island is that those Dutch merchants privately rumored that there was a "Shenzhou City" in China Shenzhou, which was extremely powerful. The interests of the Chinese are more important than their lives, and they must be reciprocated. Therefore, although the Chinese on the island still did not dare to clash with the Fusang people, they all said privately: "One day I will teach you to return the original with interest." ”

The Sho family of the Ryukyus admired the culture of the Han people, so the style of the capital city of Naha came to the county under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the wide streets were smooth and clean with blue bricks. There were people coming and going on the street, and it looked a bit like Shenzhou City, because he had all kinds of people.

Shang Wu rode on horseback, accompanied by guards, and marched lightly through the streets. I looked at the shops on both sides of the street, and I felt relieved. Through entrepot trade, Naha City is becoming more and more lively, especially those Dutch people who are afraid of Shenzhou City and dare not sail their ships to China, so more and more Dutch people come here.

With the expansion of communication with the outside world, the Ryukyus played an increasingly important role in the trade between China, Fuso, and the red-haired people.

The sun is not as hot as in summer, and the sun makes people feel comfortable, and a thin caftan is enough.

The purpose of Shang Wu's visit to the shops on the street was naturally not to admire his father's masterpieces. It was the age of the flesh and blood, and the purpose of his coming was to find a woman.

When he had been playing with Shimazu Naomasa before, he was targeting the occasional beautiful girl in a shop. So in the past few days, by hunting, I have to "pass" by here once or twice a day, hoping to meet the girl again, but strangely I haven't seen it.

Just when Shang Wu was in the right place, there was a noise on the street in front of him, mixed with the shouts of the Fuso people.

The Dutch watched and discussed. The faint sound showed that what happened here was the kind of Fuso people bullying the Chinese that often happened in Naha City.

The locals of the Ryukyus are not surprised by this kind of thing, and they still come and go. There were many Chinese among the onlookers, and some were angry and some were indignant, but they had been bullied by the Fusang people for a long time and did not dare to speak out to help.

"Hui Gongzi, it's the people of the Fusang Army who are robbing a maritime merchant, good guy, that maritime merchant is so fierce that he is only a few points more fierce than the Fusang Army that robbed him! Listening to the accent of the robbed man, it seems to be a coastal Fujian. ”

When Shang Wu heard the words "Fusang Army", he was silent.

He lowered his head and silently walked around the crowd. Although his father named him Shangwu, he naturally didn't dare to cause trouble in the family.

"Stop, you tell me clearly, I declare that I am a person from Shenzhou City, my dignity must be respected, and my personal and property safety must be protected, otherwise you will be responsible for all the consequences." The high-pitched voice was particularly loud in the crowd.

Shang Wu, who could understand Chinese, heard it clearly this time, and the three words "Shenzhou City" were called very clearly, and he had a full appearance.

It is also this sentence that before entering Fuso, not many people except the Dutch and the Qing army would care. After entering Fusang, only those who ignore this sentence can understand what this sentence represents: "Those who offend my Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

"Shenzhou City!" Shang Wu's heart moved, could it be that this person came from the most terrifying "Shenzhou City" rumored by the Dutch.

"We haven't dealt with them before!"

Yes, that's right, it was the merchants of Shenzhou City who were plundered by the Fusang army. In the past, Ryukyu was not at all in the eyes of the people of Shenzhou City, the place was too small.

But now it is different, for businessmen, the expansion of the territory has brought them the land to build factories, and the assembly lines are crazy all day and night. Although new products are still often out of the market, some old products are already stocked enough to open up the market, so the merchants of Wenzhou City have come here across the sea.

This matter involved the Fusang garrison, so Shangwu swept past the crowd with his head down, still looking for the lovely girl on horseback. Unfortunately, Shang Wu couldn't understand Dutch, otherwise he would have heard the following conversation between the Dutch onlookers.

"Hell, are they crazy? Even the merchants of 'Shenzhou City' dare to rob it! ”

"Yes, those people in Shenzhou City have already thanked God for not robbing others, they are too bold......"
