Chapter 350 Vassal States

The next day, without waiting for the allied army to reply, the New People's Army immediately launched an attack on Zuoyu, and soon defeated the Japanese army guarding the passage of the left and right palaces, entered the Zuoyu, and occupied most of the Zuoyu, carrying out a crazy ransacking plan.

Knowing that they were no match for the New People's Army, the coalition hurriedly sent new envoys over and asked for the release of the emperor, who could withdraw from Edo Castle and offer 500,000 taels of silver and 500 beautiful girls.

"What about sending Hanako? Go and let those ministers be killed, and the coalition forces must withdraw from Edo Castle unconditionally! If you have a kind, you will fight! "Just like yesterday, Yang Dongfang continued to have people pull out Meiji's ministers and go out to cut off their heads.

At this time, the envoy sent by the old forces of the Tokugawa shogunate entered the right palace again, bringing two pieces of news, the first is that the soldiers and horses of Arisugawa Palace and Omura Masajiro in Mt. Izumitake have all rushed back to Edo Castle.

The second piece of news was that a plague had broken out near the village that had been shelled by the New People's Army warships, and many people were infected, and their leader, Takehiro Enomoto, did not want Edo Castle anymore and wanted to buy weapons.

"This is your root, you don't want it anymore." This made Yang Dongfang confused, and the messenger replied:

"Your Excellency doesn't know, Edo Castle belongs to the Tokugawa family, not our president, Lord Enomoto, if there is no emperor in his hands, even if we get Edo Castle, we will still be defeated by the coalition forces, and Edo Castle, which has been robbed by adults, will definitely not be able to return to its original prosperity, not to mention the outbreak of the plague now, it is really unwise to stay here."

This surprised Yang Dongfang, this Enomoto Wuyang is really a smart guy, this is to find another place, build a territory to develop a base, and continue to confront the new government of the Sachang Alliance.

After his analysis, Yang Dongfang has a new idea, it is not bad to let the little devil fight the Three Kingdoms, without the righteousness of the emperor, in the future, each vassal will be half a catty to eight taels.

At the same time, he also has to leave Edo Castle early, the plague is not a joke, in this era of poor medical care, it is better to avoid it as soon as possible, anyway, he is not here to occupy Edo, there is no need to delay time here and put the soldiers in crisis.

So he replied:

"Yes, if you want a gun, you can exchange it for money or a woman, by the way, you are contacting the Aizu Domain for me, they should be considered your allies now, do you want muskets?"

Sending Enomoto Takeyang's envoy, Yang Dongfang asked Meiji to be brought over, and pulled out his sword and poked it on the wooden floor: "I'll just ask you, do you want to die like those ministers of yours, or live." ”

At this time, Meiji was only thirteen years old, although he was mentally complete and very smart, but he still lacked a bit of domineering and superior temperament, where could he withstand Yang Dongfang's bluff, you must know that yesterday Gao Bin Jinzuo died in front of him, and the teacher Okamura Ningji also died in front of him.

All the dependencies were all taken away at once, and now he has become a lonely person, a mermaid, and he has no qualifications to refuse, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and at this time, his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle attribute exploded, gritted his teeth, and said with a sincere and humble expression: "I want to live, please don't kill me, I am the emperor, and I can give anything to Your Excellency." ”

Yang Dongfang showed a hint of something, nodded as if he didn't see Xiao Meiji's strange appearance and said: "Very good, since you understand it so well, then I won't talk nonsense, if you sign this contract, I will promise not to kill you, and I will raise you to be fat and fat, as for the affairs of your country, I don't care, you can toss as much as you like." ”

When Xiao Meiji heard this, he was secretly happy, took the text of the contract, looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the paler his face became, and finally asked carefully: "You want us to be vassals to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and as a vassal state of the Ryukyu Kingdom, you are the army of the Ryukyu Kingdom." ”

Shaking his head and not speaking, his eyes were like a convergence, staring at Xiao Meiji, this guy was entangled for a while, but he signed happily, thinking that as long as he returned to Honshu Island one day, he would definitely set foot on Ryukyu and completely return to Japanese rule.

The same contract text sent a copy to the Imperial Palace.

"Nope! This is impossible, it is impossible for the emperor to sign such a treaty, how can we be a vassal state of the Ryukyus, the little Ryukyu is too presumptuous. "Prince Arisugawa Palace was the first to stand up against it.

Shimazu Hisamitsu also said: "Yes, it is impossible for the emperor to sign this kind of treaty, Ryukyu is a vassal state of my Satsuma Domain, how can it be reversed now, how can Shangtai He De." ”

In contrast, Masajiro Omura was more concerned about the safety of Meiji and reminded: "Isn't it good that these pirates said that if we don't agree, they will kill the emperor, and they will burn Edo Castle to the ground, and they will burn this place, and support the old forces of the shogunate and help them fight us, isn't that good?" ”

They were also scared of Yang Dongfang's iron-blooded killing, and they listened to the head of the minister if they didn't agree, and their Changzhou domain was a bloody lesson.

As soon as the threat was mentioned, Shimazu Hisamitsu's expression also changed slightly, he Satsuma Domain was the closest to the Ryukyus, if these people were really the army of the Ryukyu Kingdom, or if they were the masters of the Ryukyus, he would definitely be the first to be destroyed.

I had no choice but to say: "Otherwise, we will agree to them first, and when we have enough money and women, we will redeem the emperor, eliminate the old ministers of the Aizu domain and the Tokugawa family, unify the three islands and rejuvenate the country, and fight hard to buy artifact warships from Westerners before destroying the Ryukyus." ”

Arisugawa Palace still agreed, and left angrily, but as soon as he left the room, someone came to say: "Your Royal Highness, the plague in Xiakou Village has spread too fast, and all the people around the bay have been infected, and many of our soldiers have vomited and black spots on their bodies. ”

"What! There is also a plague in the army. Arisu Chuan Gong almost fell, sighed heavily, and returned to it with complicated eyes.

Two days later, in the Osumi Strait, the sea and blue sky were high, and the seven warships headed southwest in a 223 line.

"Where are we going! Aren't we going back to Gangnam directly? ”

Yang Dongfang said to Wang Dake: "Don't be in a hurry, go to the Ryukyu Islands first, and let you be the commander-in-chief of the Ryukyu Kingdom first on land and sea!" ”

"What! Commander-in-Chief of the Ryukyu Kingdom on land and sea? "Wang Dake was forced, listening to this official is so majestic, both land and sea, stronger than the previous bosses, his heart is happy, of course he doesn't know what the hell is Ryukyu, otherwise he wouldn't think like this.

Passing through the Ryukyu Islands along the way, Yang Dongfang left coordinates on important islands while clearing out the fishermen who had moved to the country by the Japanese and cutting off the influence of the Satsuma domain on the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Of course, he also acted as pirates, and all the merchant ships of Britain, France, the Netherlands, and other countries bound for Japan were either hijacked or sunk.

Shouli City! The capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom, at this time the Ryukyu King Shotai was listening to the report of his subordinates.

"My lord, I heard that a group of pirates has appeared in the northwest, and they have driven out most of the Japanese who have migrated to our islands, and they have also sunk the merchant ships of various countries, and they are landing in Naha at this time."

Shang Tai restlessed: "How is this good! Will they come to fight the royal city! ”

The following ministers are also in a hurry, the Ryukyu Kingdom does not have a standing army, until the two countries of Qing and Japan belong to the vassals, and the weapons in the morning were also confiscated by the Satsuma Domain, which suddenly appeared pirates, how to deal with it.

When the first reason was uneasy, Yang Dongfang led people to talk and laugh in Naha Port, and the local residents were not too frightened, because the warship was flying the national flag of the Ming Dynasty.

It's curious!

What was even more shocking was that the New People's Army also distributed supplies to local residents, and pulled out a guy named Emperor Wakoku, saying that Ryukyu would not have to pay tribute to Wakoku in the future.

The local Ryukyus still generally use Chinese, with an accent similar to Hokkien pronunciation, so there are basically no communication barriers here, and the news quickly spread throughout the port of Naha and spread around.
