Chapter 114

After a few days of rest, officials and several hundred soldiers sent from Shuri arrived in Nakihito, so he divided his troops into five squads, with 200 men and four artillery pieces in a group, and after confirming the route of the march from north to south, he began to sweep south with the relevant appointed officials and Ryukyu soldiers in unison.

In this way, there will be no obstacles along the way, pacify the officials and soldiers who left the Ryukyus, repair it and then move towards the next predetermined goal.

Of course, there is nothing to see for sightseeing, the main thing is to learn about the local customs and customs. The war ended, and the people were reassured. After going to the village and visiting the household, it is actually quite good, after all, it is an island, the folk customs are actually quite simple, and the chaotic people are hungry, of course, this can not be counted in the folk customs, and the people in any place will eventually make a mess when they are hungry, just look at the scale and what means are used.

Before paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the customs of men and women in the Ryukyus were that men and women could live together if they were happy, and later became a subject of the Ming Dynasty, they began to learn the customs of the Ming Dynasty, and they needed to be approved by their parents and the matchmaker to make peace, and then a simple ceremony was held to be a family, and combined with other observations, it can be determined that the customs of the Ming Dynasty have been accepted by the people of the Ryukyus and have become their own customs.

This is actually very important......

So according to the military situation of the two wings, he stopped and stopped along the way and finally returned to Shuri, Shangba Zhi heard the news and the ministers went out of the city for ten miles to receive him ceremoniously, and the rebellion that plagued Zhongshan for two years made the Ming army pacify in less than a month, this is the gap.

In fact, at this time, I can't see any evil consequences, if it weren't for our Wang Qincha's plan to go north to Japan, he wouldn't have spent so much effort to decide to develop such a small place first.

Historically, Beishan Mansion has been in trouble for decades, because of its own limited ability and beyond the reach of the whip, and because there is still a Nanshan country in the south that cannot be withdrawn, so after 20 years, Zhongshan Kingdom took advantage of the civil strife in Nanshan to destroy the Nanshan Kingdom with all its strength before freeing up troops to go to Beishan Mansion to quell the rebellion.

At that time, Beishan Prefecture and the nearby provinces had been tossed by the rebels for more than 20 years, but in fact, it had been completely finished, and basically the army that waited for the counterinsurgency to receive it was no man's land.

At the rate of population growth in the Ryukyus, Kitayama Prefecture has not returned to the level it had before it was destroyed for several decades, not to mention its economy. This time, he came to help purely to stabilize Kitayama Prefecture, stabilize the Ryukyus, and serve as a base and springboard for the northward expansion into Japan.

He didn't want to change Ryukyu into a political secretary of the Ming Dynasty, and for the current situation that the Ming Dynasty does not attach importance to the sea, unless it is changed to Jingshi, it will be lost to everything.

So on the way back, he said this to Shang Bazhi, Emperor Yongle, he knew that Ryukyu was dedicated to Ming, and he also knew that Ryukyu was very poor, so he wanted to help Ryukyu, but the ministers were unwilling, this place was barren land in the words of the ministers, and Ryukyu was only a symbolic minister, there was no reason to spend a lot of money here, we must understand each other.

The vast territory of the Ming Dynasty does not look down on your place, to put it mildly, this place is too poor, and it is not comparable to the income of a state in the Ming Dynasty, and the little food grown in the field can't even feed people, so one day the poor and weak Ryukyu will be annexed by other countries, just this time all the expenses are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the tax revenue of your Ryukyu for several years will be topped.

Therefore, it is also very difficult for the Yongle Emperor to do, and the envoy, as a courtier, of course, also has to share the emperor's worries, so that the emperor will have a reason to help the Ryukyus, and without harming the interests of your Ryukyu Shang family, he will come up with such a compromise and a solution.

By your Ryukyu Kingdom to the Ming Yongle Emperor, all the land of Ryukyu will be dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, and then the emperor will decree that you Shang will be the king, Shizhen Ryukyu, after which the ministers will no longer have any reason to prevent the Yongle Emperor from supporting the Ryukyus, and as long as the Ryukyu is nominally the land of the Ming Dynasty, whoever invades the Ryukyus in the future will have to see if the Ming Dynasty agrees, and the Ming Dynasty must take care of it, but your current situation, the Ming Dynasty can manage it.

There is no loss to the Ryukyus, it is much more cost-effective than you being a minister, and if Nanshan does not agree to this matter, the prince will find an excuse to send troops to destroy the Nanshan country, you will go to the table again to dedicate the country, and the emperor will also give you the land of Nanshan, and the Ming will never interfere in the domestic affairs of the Ryukyus, and the Ming will only be responsible for defense matters, or pay tribute according to the custom, so that everything is justified......

When the prince returned, he discussed it with the king and his ministers, and saw if the envoy's method was good or not.

Of course, Shang Bazhi is not stupid, he can understand what he said, Daming doesn't want you to be here, Emperor Yongle knows that Ryukyu is poor, and he also knows that Ryukyu is very yearning for Ming, so he wants to help Ryukyu live a little better, this time the angel came to do this, but he can't help for a while, so there must be a suitable reason.

For Ryukyu, it is to dedicate the title deed to the Ming Emperor free of charge, which is considered the land of the Ming Dynasty, and then the Ming Emperor will give them the title deed, so that the Ming can have a legitimate reason to do all the things, for the Ryukyus is to send a letter of state to the Ming Dynasty, and then the Ming Emperor will go to the next one, as for the minister, Ryukyu has not been a minister.

After figuring out these things, Shang Bazhi said that after returning home, he reported to his father, the angel had worked hard, and his father had set up a wine feast to wait for the angel to return to celebrate the angel's success in quelling the rebellion.

After returning to Shuri, Shang Bazhi will exchange land deeds with the Ming Dynasty to discuss this matter, most people can understand that this is normal, and a small number of people can't turn their brains, the focus of the argument is that we are already a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and we are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, why take off our pants and fart, one more procedure, is it that the Ming Emperor suspects our loyalty? Can't figure it out.

At that time, Ryukyu itself was greatly influenced by the Ming Dynasty, and the most important thing was that the land grain output of Ryukyu could not support more than 100,000 people, so the turmoil in Ryukyu was mainly caused by the lack of food, and I wanted to find a big brother to help, but after recognizing the eldest brother, I also disliked poor relatives, and I didn't help much. So under everyone's patient explanation, I figured it out.
