The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

A shrill bamboo whistle sounded, and the pirate who had been captured a few days ago got up from the deck, poured the dirty water from the bucket into the sea, and then carried the sea water from the sea, hurriedly washed his hands, and sat down on the deck in unison.

The cook carried a large bucket and filled each of them with a plate full of rice, poured a spoonful of fish broth, and handed each one an orange.

Although it was sour, they ate it with relish.

"Brother Yun has done a good job, and he has trained them to be obedient in just a few days, and he has a little means."

Approaching the port of Tongzhou, Qin Haoming saw the performance of the pirates and praised Zhang Yun with satisfaction.

"Most of them are hard-working people, and they can't survive before they go to sea to fight for their lives. Of course, there are also unruly people who take risks for the sake of wealth.

According to the brother's meaning, carrots and sticks. If they want to die with knives and guns, if they want to live, and they have hot white rice, they will naturally feel at ease.

After running in for a while, they were scattered and divided into teams, all of whom were men who had seen blood, had no shortage of combat effectiveness, and had experience in naval warfare, and were familiar with the style of pirates.

Attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son is just right! ”

Zhang Yun was covered in armor, holding a monocular, looking around, answering Qin Haoming's question in his mouth.

Three days, be impressed!

Qin Haoming was relieved to see Zhang Yun's change, and his heart was extremely happy.

If it weren't for the encounter with the three small boats of the Wa Kingdom, Qin Haoming's good mood would have been maintained.

It's just that as Zhang Yun gave the monocular to Cao Shengxin, who said that it seemed to be a ship of the Wa Kingdom, Qin Haoming was ready to give an order to send these three ships to the bottom of the sea to see the Dragon King.

Regardless of whether it is a pirate or not, Qin Haoming believes it anyway, and the sailors under his command are also ready to believe that this is a group of pirates, and at most they will collect physical evidence afterwards, and I believe that there will be it.

Lu Xiangsheng also thinks that there will be physical evidence, because as long as it passes through Qin Haoming's hands, it is difficult to have it.

The eight-ox crossbow had been wound, the gun jacket had been lifted, and everyone was constantly correcting the angle and preparing for the first round of bombardment, and the three small boats were smashed to pieces.

A green-robed official of the Ming Dynasty appeared on the bow of the Japanese boat, shouting to them incessantly, Qin Haoming reluctantly ordered to stop the attack, he really couldn't do it to fire at his own people.

A small boat picked up the green-robed official, Qin Haoming asked with a cold face: "You are a sixth-grade official, why are you crowded in the same boat with the Japanese people, is it a shame, I don't have a ship?" ”

"If you go back to the governor of Qin, the lower official belongs to the Honglu Temple in Fuzhou, and was ordered to go to Ryukyu, and now I want to go to the capital to restore my life."

Although Li Chunjiang, an official of Honglu Temple, was surprised by Qin Haoming's age and official position, he replied respectfully.

Can it be disrespectful?

almost died at the bottom of the sea inexplicably, and there is no place to say anything about grievances, which shows Qin Du's fierceness.

Under Qin Haoming's interrogation, Li Chunjiang gave out the purpose of going to Ryukyu one by one.

It turned out that the current Ryukyus were already in the possession of the Shimazu family of Wakuni. If it weren't for the Ryukyu envoy risking death to tell him, Daming would still be kept in the dark.

In order to distinguish the authenticity, Li Chunjiang risked his death to go to the Ryukyus to check.

At first glance, it turned out to be exactly what happened. If it weren't for the rescue of the King of the Ryukyus, it is estimated that he would have been dead by now.

"Li Langzhong, this governor will make amends to you."

Hearing this, Qin Haoming already fully understood the ins and outs of the matter.

The Ryukyus, that is, Okinawa in later generations, the U.S. naval base in Japan, is a place of heartache for every Chinese soldier in later generations.

Geographically, the Ryukyu Islands are an important key to controlling access to the sea for Japan, Taiwan and Chinese mainland, and their strategic location is very important.

But this was originally supposed to be Chinese land.

In the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, sent an envoy Yang Zai to carry an edict to Ryukyu, which called it Ryukyu.

Since then, it has become the official name, and it can be seen that even the name of the Ryukyu Kingdom was taken by China.

Zhu Yuanzhang's edict said: "I am the subject of Dai, the emperor, there must be the name of the world, called the Ming Dynasty, the establishment of the Yuan Hongwu."

It is used to send envoys to foreign countries, broadcast the intentions of the people, and when the envoys arrive, the barbarian chieftains call the ministers to pay tribute.

Weier Ryukyu, in the southeast of China, far from overseas, has not been reported. I hereby send an envoy to send an edict to know it. ”

Except for the fact that China was the center and used words such as "barbarian" used by Chinese emperors, this edict did not mean to threaten or intimidate, and was a kind of peaceful diplomacy.

Therefore, the Ryukyu Kingdom of Zhongshan King Chadu first received the edict and immediately sent Wang Di Tai Qi to China with Yang Zai to be a minister.

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang gave 36 surnames to the Fujian people into Liuzhou, and these Ming immigrants mainly taught advanced production technology and culture to the Ryukyus.

At the same time, the King of the Ryukyus often sent his children to study in China.

Since the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Ryukyu Kingdom has been using the Chinese era name and pursuing the Ming Dynasty.

In particular, in 1430, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty officially gave the surname Shang to the ruler of the Ryukyus, and the king of Zhongshan was named Shang Sishao, creating the first Shang dynasty.

From then on, Ryukyu officially became a vassal state of the Ming Empire, and Ryukyu began to pay regular tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

However, at the end of the 37th year of Wanli, the Shimazu family, the rulers of the Satsuma Domain, sent 3,000 Satsuma troops according to the plan of the raid.

With 700 arquebuses as the main weapon, the Ryukyu army was quickly defeated with old-fashioned muskets, and the Ryukyu Kingdom was officially annexed by the Wa Kingdom.

The defeated Ryukyu Kingdom was forced to admit in the surrender document that "Ryukyu has been subordinate to Satsuma for generations."

However, due to the reaction of the Ryukyu suzerain, the Ming Dynasty, and for the sake of important tributary trade, the Ryukyu Kingdom maintained its "independence" on the surface.

The Wa Kingdom also used Ryukyu ships to conduct tributary trade with the Ming Dynasty, and in the following period, the Ryukyus maintained a suzerainty relationship with both the Ming and Satsuma domains.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty strictly forbade trade with the Wa State, which is why the Wa State traded with Zheng Zhilong.

Therefore, for the Wa Kingdom, especially the Satsuma Domain, whose main source of income was trade, the most direct solution to the problem was to control the Ryukyus.

Then, borrowing the "legal status" of the Ryukyus, he engaged in highly lucrative tributary trade and other business activities with the Ming Dynasty.

"! These devils. ”

Qin Haoming scolded hatefully.

These grandsons of the Japanese kingdom used Ryukyu to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty.

Historically, the Ryukyu Kingdom has repeatedly asked the Ming for help, but the Ming itself is difficult to protect, so there is no action.

As for the Jiannu court after that, if you don't mention it, it's all blood and tears.

"Li Langzhong, this matter will be handled by the governor, and he will not disappoint the king of the Ryukyus.

Are these people Wa or Ryukyuan? ”

Qin Haoming pointed to the people on the three small boats and asked domineeringly towards Li Chunjiang.
