Chapter 636: Unifying East Asia (1)
Zhu Cijiao's will soon spread to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the Ryukyu Kingdom was in mixed mood and anger when the Ming Emperor clearly expressed his opposition to the coup d'état in the Ryukyu Kingdom.
The king of the Ryukyus regarded the general Wu Ning as a rebellious person, and thought that with the support of the Ming Dynasty, the general Wu Ning could no longer make any waves.
Led by the great general Wu Ning, the ambitious people were naturally extremely angry and deeply frightened.
"General, Da Ming actually intervened, I'm afraid this matter can't go on anymore." Wu Ning's henchman said to Wu Ning with a sad face.
Wu Ning was also so angry that his face turned blue, and his eyes obviously showed a deep unwillingness.
"Why does Daming care about the affairs of our Ryukyu Kingdom, ten years, I have endured it for ten years, and I am about to succeed, is it because Daming has to give up because of a word?" Wu Ning said angrily.
He has a grudge with the Ryukyu royal family, a deep feud in the sea of blood, and ten years of forbearance is to overthrow the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Shang family, how can others be willing at this moment.
"General, the Ming Dynasty is strong, there is only a dead end to resist, but unfortunately the second prince Shangzhi escaped, the king only has two sons, the son has died in our hands, if the second prince can be killed at that time, the general will kill the king and establish himself as the king, and then the Ming Dynasty may acquiesce even if he opposes it, but now that the second prince is still alive, the general will lose the opportunity to stand on his own and cannot get the approval of the Ming Dynasty." The henchman said helplessly.
"Moreover, Da Ming blatantly sent people to find the second prince, obviously to protect the second prince, I am afraid that as long as the second prince is found, Da Ming will force the general to return the government to the king." The henchman said with a sigh.
The Shang family is the Yongle Emperor personally crowned the Ryukyu royal family, the successive Ryukyu kings pay tribute every year, and it is understandable that the Ming Dynasty favors the Shang family, and the henchmen know this matter very well, so at the beginning of the coup d'état, he advocated killing the two princes first and then killing the Ryukyu king, so that the Ryukyu royal family Shang family will be in the line, and Wu Ning will have the opportunity to replace it.
Of course, before this, they had to get the approval of Da Ming first, but now they not only let the second prince Shang Zhi escape, but also caused Da Ming's dissatisfaction, and obviously would not approve of Wu Ning.
In fact, Ryukyu was founded hundreds of years ago, earlier than the Ming Dynasty, and there are no longer a few coups in history, almost all of them have succeeded, so it is not surprising that Wuning this time.
"No, I'm not reconciled, how can the Shang family be virtuous, why does Daming have to be the king of the Shang family! The Shang family has a deep hatred with me, no matter what, even if I die, I will first pull the Shang family to be buried! Wu Ning gritted his teeth angrily.
This coup d'état stems from Wu Ning's hatred, and those who are swayed by hatred are often crazy, and Wu Ning does not know what kind of crazy actions he will make.
Perhaps he didn't take the strength of the Ryukyu Kingdom too seriously, after Shen Jingchao received Zhu Ciji's order to go all out to find Shangzhi, the second prince of the Ryukyus, he directly sent people from the East China Sea Fleet to the island to blatantly search for Shangzhi's whereabouts.
More than a dozen soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet walked the streets of Ryukyu Castle in groups, blatantly asking the passing Ryukyu people if they could know the whereabouts of Shangzhi.
"Platoon commander, do you think we can find Shang-Chi with such a blatant search?" A Ming soldier said to the leading naval platoon commander.
Such a blatant search seems quite strange, not only does it not take the Ryukyu general Wu Ning too seriously, but also makes people wonder if the hidden Ryukyu prince Shangzhi really dares to show up.
"Of course we can find it, Ryukyu Island is not big, even if the Ryukyu prince escapes, he won't be able to escape for long, if he doesn't take the initiative to join us, he can only be caught by Wu Ning, he has no choice." The Navy platoon commander said confidently.
"But platoon commander, even if we can find him, it doesn't seem that we can take him away with just a dozen of us, right?" The soldier asked again, confused.
"Who told you we had to take him away?" As he spoke, the corners of the platoon leader's mouth involuntarily hooked up a hint of insidiousness.
In fact, what no one knows is that although Zhu Ciji issued an order to find the whereabouts of the Ryukyu prince Wu Ning, there was another holy decree secretly, and as for the content of the holy decree, except for Shen Jingchao, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, only a few people knew.
The soldier was stunned on the spot, unable to understand what the platoon commander meant.
He wanted to ask, but the platoon commander stopped them from continuing to ask, obviously not like continuing to talk about it.
It is said that while landing dozens of people from the East China Sea Fleet to look for Shangzhi, the Ryukyu General Wu Ning is also looking for Shangzhi, and the force dispatched is even greater, almost three feet into the field.
General Wuning's mansion.
The dozens of people from the East China Sea Fleet who landed were led by a company commander, but this company commander was drinking tea with Wu Ning in Wu Ning's general at the moment.
In fact, it was Wu Ning who personally went to greet the people of the East China Sea Fleet when they landed, and dragged the company commander of the East China Sea Fleet to the general to talk about the world, and it is not difficult to see that the general Wu Ning was in order to drag the company commander of the East China Sea Fleet, and not let the dozens of people from the East China Sea Fleet who landed go all out to find Shang Zhi, to be honest, Wu Ning was also afraid that Da Ming would find Shang Zhi first.
In order not to let his ten years of hard work go to waste, Wu Ning also fought hard, although he did not dare to land more than a dozen people from the Ming East China Sea Fleet, but half forced, half threatened, or temporarily contained most of the people who landed in the General's Mansion.
Wu Ning had reason to believe that Da Ming only had a dozen people to look for him, and it was impossible to find Shang Zhi before his thousands of people in any case.
Wu Ning gave a death order, and once he saw the second prince Shangzhi, he couldn't help but say anything, and directly killed him on the spot.
Wu Ning frantically thought that as long as he killed everyone in the Shang family and then established himself as the king, Da Ming would not necessarily really ask him, even if he really asked him, he was not afraid, for today, he endured for ten years, even if his ambition failed, he had to find a way to destroy all the people of the Shang family of the Ryukyu royal family and take revenge.
In fact, Wu Ning's mentality is exactly what Da Ming thinks, perhaps it is precisely because he knows that Wu Ning has the mentality that the company commander of the East China Sea Fleet is here to drink tea with Wu Ning with peace of mind.
The commander of the Ming army sneered in his heart, if it wasn't for what Wu Ning wanted to do exactly what they wanted, how could the Ming Dynasty only send a few dozen people to land in Ryukyu, and never even open his mouth to rescue the imprisoned Ryukyu king.
"General Wu Da doesn't know if he is very interested in the position of King of the Ryukyus!" The company commander of the Ming army suddenly said such a sentence to Wu Ning.
