Before Sun Yuanhua could understand how to send Chen Jian a ride, Chen Jian pointed to the captured Huashan Jiugao in the distance and said, "These people are the generals of these Japanese people. www.biquge.info Speaking of which, these people also fought in Korea, and since the Imjin Rebellion, although there have been some who have won the head of the Japanese Emperor, such generals have rarely gained such generals. ”

Sun Yuanhua suddenly understood, and exclaimed: "This, this." What do you mean, sir? ”

Chen Jian spread his hands and said, "Don't think too much. If the champion Hou was not the nephew of the Marquis of Changping, would he have been able to build the feat of sealing the wolf Juxu? As the so-called good wind relies on its strength, it sends me to the clouds. Naturally, the leading general is going to be taken prisoner in Beijing, but the rest of the lieutenant generals who have escaped, this head can help you. ”

Saying this, Sun Yuanhua's heart was also moved, and Chen Jian said again: "Can you master this method of firing muskets?" ”

"Got it."

"That's simple, a few of you have heard that the Japanese have invaded Ryukyu and offended Tianwei, so you have to learn from that class of solid throwing pens and take risks. In the middle of the military formation, the deputy general Hirata Masumune of the Japanese was beheaded with a musket array, and pursued and killed several Japanese leaders to the north, but did not surrender and killed. I don't have the ability to write these things, but you can write them well, and when you go to Beijing, it will be convenient for you people to be in the emperor's heart. In the future, if you really win the fame, it will be much easier to do something. ”

Sun Yuanhua couldn't help but swallow his saliva, although there was a suspicion of bullying the monarch by doing so, but I have to say that such a big temptation was in front of him, and it was fake to say that he was not tempted.

And Jian Chen said a bunch of examples, constantly impacting his psychological defense.

Xin said: "This is exactly what Mr. said, if the champion Hou is not the nephew of Changping Hou, how can he have the opportunity to seal the wolf Juxu?" The gentleman asked me if I wanted to do a lifetime of learning or serve the world, and I had already given an answer, if I didn't have this opportunity, even if the teacher would help me more in the future, there would be no place to convince people after all. Those who do big things are not informal, which is exactly the truth. Nowadays, there are not many people in the DPRK and China who know the method of firearms, and I am doing this for the sake of the peace of the world. ”

Once the heart of the person is opened, it is much easier to convince it. Chen Jian added: "Ryukyu admires Chinese culture, and there are many people who are proficient in Chinese, and the proclamations are all written in Chinese. In this case, the pacification of the people of Naha and the communication with the king of Shanning will also be left to you. These things mean nothing to us, you just have to do it. I think that the merit of beheading the deputy general of the Japanese people and capturing the generals who participated in the battle in the Imjin Rebellion may be worth thirty taels of silver, but if you win the merit and become a civil minister in the future, it will be different. ”

"Thank you, sir, then."

"Not necessarily."

Smiled and asked Sun Yuanhua to communicate with those who came with him, and those who escaped in the north were a dead end. He himself is not a person in the Celestial Empire system, so these credits are meaningless, and he might as well give it away as a favor and make some preparations for the future.

For him, there was not much he wanted except for the three things of gaining the favor of the Ming Dynasty, trade, and ousting Ryukyu from the status of a special port in trade.

After this battle, most of the pro-Ming faction in the Ryukyu Kingdom were killed in battle; Few loyal to the Ryukyus survived; The rest of the pro-Japanese faction will be purged after this war, and it is estimated that they will all lose their rights.

This gave him enough opportunities to make this place a place that would definitely become a place of irrelevance in the future. After this war, there were great contradictions within the Satsuma Domain; In Fujian, with a little bribe, you can make Ryukyu experience war and be unable to pay tribute, and if you pay tribute every ten years, the Ming Dynasty will not pay more attention to this side.

The tributary trade is cut off, and the life of the Ryukyu royal family will not be too easy, and it will be much easier to get some people out of King Shangning or empty the power internally. At the very least, some of the feudal land system here should be changed, the labor force of the working population should be released, at least it should become a production area of rice and sweet potatoes, and the labor force here should be used to provide some food and control the Ryukyus economically.

Until the Netherlands and Spain reach this side, it will be convenient to control this place, and it will be convenient to squeeze out and monopolize in the future.

With various purposes, after a day of tossing and turning in Naha Port, Chen Jian sent people to Shuri Castle, which was not far away, to deliver very accurate news.

Before that, there were many rumors, and the morale of the army in Shuri Castle was already weakened. The people of the Lord and the faction were generally alive, so they all tried to get King Shanning to surrender, and some rumors that King Shanning had decided to surrender made the people in Shuri Castle have no intention of defending.

King Shōnin had already prepared for the eventuality, and smeared his wives and concubines and made them hide in the mountains, which was probably the reputation of these soldiers of the Satsuma Domain.

But Jian Chen's sudden appearance turned everything before upside down. Chen Jian only said that he was entrusted by the governor of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty to come, and King Shangning was naturally grateful and asked people to hurry up and prepare for the labor army.

Chen Jian took people to visit the gate that said "The State of Etiquette" for a while, and asked someone to take a photo, which made people appease Queen Shangning, and asked King Shangning to write a letter for help.

King Shangning understood that the matter had come to this point, and it would be impossible not to write it, and he originally wanted to survive in the gap between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, and writing this letter would be regarded as a complete break with the Satsuma Domain.

After the rupture, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had forgiven the debt of military rations from the Ryukyus during the previous invasion of Korea, and the Satsuma clan said that he had helped the Ryukyus take half of it, and they had been forcing the Ryukyus to repay the money on this matter.

However, King Shang Ning understood that in this way, he was actually losing, and trade with Japan was basically impossible. Although when he was attacked to the precarious level, he was looking forward to saving his temple, but once things took a turn for the better, he was a little reluctant in his heart.

If it weren't for Jian Chen with his soldiers, I'm afraid King Shang Ning would never have written this letter for help. And King Shangning also understood what Chen Jian meant, so he advanced the time of writing this letter by more than a month, stamped it with a seal, and wrote down the sun and moon of the Wanli year, which was a certainty.

After writing a distress letter more than a month in advance, and writing about the situation of the invasion of the Satsuma Domain, as well as some tragic circumstances, he will soon send someone to Fujian to officially explain the matter.

Chen Jian didn't ask for much, as long as some rice was used as the military expenses of Kuangfu's Ryukyu "Sheji", King Shangning was very grateful, he never expected these people to be so easy to speak, but he was very uneasy about this group of people in his heart.

Now that it has annoyed the Satsuma Domain, King Shōnin also knows that the little force of the Ryukyus has no chance of resisting the invasion of the Satsuma Domain.

And these people who defeated the Satsuma Domain, although they came to help at the request of the governor of the Ming Dynasty, were also Fanbang. Not long before the Portuguese occupied Malacca, King Shanning also knew that he might not be able to escape such a fate on his side, and he sighed in his heart but was helpless. If you want to resist the possible retaliation of the Satsuma Clan, you need to ask these people to garrison, but after the garrison, wouldn't you put everything you have in the hands of others?

But at this time, he had no choice but to take the initiative to ask Chen Jian's fleet to patrol regularly and pay a certain amount of rice and sulfur every year as a thank you.

Chen Jian pretended not to allow it, and the king of the Ryukyus repeatedly requested, and finally signed a treaty between the two sides.

Ken Chen's fleet had the right to dock at any time and to ensure that the Ryukyus would not be invaded by any kind, and that a certain amount of rice and sulfur would be paid every year as a token of gratitude.

The two acropolises of Mie Castle and Yaraza Mori Castle purchased six cannons, and at the same time, Chen Jian sent people to help Ryukyu train 600 Ryukyu soldiers to help defend them, and the cost of the soldiers was paid by Ryukyu. In order to prevent retaliatory attacks by the Japanese invaders, the defense of the two acropolis was entrusted to the military personnel sent by Chen Jian.

The remaining infiltration of internal affairs, Chen Jian is not too excessive, it is not appropriate to get involved now, in the future, there are opportunities, and some landlords will cooperate with Chen Jian, and their influence will gradually expand.

In any case, there is no need to worry about the fact that the Ryukyus have no chance of paying tribute, no possibility of entrepot trade, and no possibility of trade with Japan.

When King Shangning was busy writing the inscription for his trip to the Ming Dynasty and choosing a thank you gift, Chen Jian found someone to write a letter to Tokugawa and his son.

There is no need to use Japanese, which is the "international" language of the Asian tributary system, and you can recognize it as long as you write it on the opposite side.

According to the speed at which the news of the Battle of the Ryukyus spreads, it will take some time for the news of the Battle of the Ryukyus to reach Sunfu Castle and Edo, but it will be possible for your side to take the lead.

He first said that according to the confession of Hisataka Kayama, the Shimazu family was going to use Ryukyu as their own hiding place, but was this with the permission of the shogun?

Second, if the shogun wanted to establish a tributary system centered on Japan, would it be reasonable to brazenly destroy a country? At least to protect the clan of the society, otherwise it will fall into the land of injustice, I hope that His Excellency the general can read more Spring and Autumn to understand the importance of destroying the country and protecting its sacrifices.

Thirdly, since Japan has been stabilized, the Shimazu family easily dispatched 3,000 troops and 1,000 iron cannons, shouldn't this be something to be wary of?

Then he said that the king of Shangning asked for help from the Ming Dynasty, so that the governor of the Ming Dynasty was very angry, and even prepared to not enter the sea to avoid financing the Japanese invaders, which was extremely unfavorable to our trade, and we needed an explanation from the general, which seriously damaged the interests of our country.

In addition, the Ming believed that the Toyotomi family's original request for military rations from the Ryukyus for the invasion of Korea was unreasonable, so it was invalid. As for the private loans between the officials of the Ryukyus and the Shimazu family, I have already asked people to write IOUs, which they also admit, and of course these dozens of pieces of silver still need to be returned.

However, the people of Kayama Kugo set fire to Naha, thousands of people died, and four of our merchants were killed, which we could not tolerate, and we hoped that the shogun would convey a certain amount of silver to the Shimazu family on his behalf. As for the loss of the Ryukyus itself, it is not within our control that King Shōnin and the Shimazu family alone can claim compensation, and the Ryukyus, as an independent country and the sovereignty of the state, demand compensation from the state, which is something that we cannot interfere with, and we must also remain neutral.

In the end, Chen Jian drew the story of the battle into pictures and texts, and sealed the letter with some photos of the battlefield after cleaning, and sent it over together with the casualties of both sides and the captured several low-level samurai who had experienced the battle.
