Chapter 753: Pacifying the Ryukyus

Not to mention anything else, there were a lot of goods coming from the sea during this time, and I also heard that many small countries around the Nanshan Kingdom of the Ryukyus had also surrendered to Li Yang one after another. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Think about it carefully, with Li Yang's material assistance, not only can the tribe expand, the life of the people under his rule can become better, but also there are various magic medicines available, over the years, many kings have died of fever, with the superb medical skills of the Dakang people, at least their own lives will be more secure.

As for what to lose...... For the time being, I haven't heard of any king who was deprived of the tribe he directly managed after surrendering to Li Yang, so what he can really manage is still those people, and he has actually strengthened his tribe, so why not ......

Just as the king of Dongshan was making a move, two uninvited guests visited him. These two are the No. 1 and No. 2 spies who infiltrated Dongshan Country after ending their mission in Zhongshan Country.

When the two men entered the chamber of the king of Higashiyama, they did not say anything, but presented them with a bag of cinchona branches and a smooth brocade cloth.

King Dongshan did not hesitate at all, and happily accepted the gift. The two spies quickly bowed down and retired.

That night, the king of Dongshan held a banquet to entertain the king of Zhongshan Kumi and his daughter Chiba, and there was no doubt that his father and daughter of Zhongshan Kingdom both went to the banquet lightly and simply.

When the wine was half-drunk, I saw the king of Dongshan's wine glass fall, and hundreds of guards with knives poured in from both sides of the side hall, surrounding more than a dozen people in the palace of Zhongshan Kingdom.

"King Dongshan, what do you mean? Does this Ryukyu want to give up to outsiders? ”

"Haha, Ryukyu is still our Ryukyuan people, your king of Zhongshan attaches too much importance to his own petty profits, and I am seeking the well-being of all the people under my rule!"

"Come on, tie them all up!"

When the King of Zhongshan and everyone were heavily bound, the King of Dongshan stepped forward, stroked Chiba's smooth little face lightly, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that such a bewitching little beauty, this great gift of surrender will be given enough, and it can only be cheapened by Li Yang, the leader of the Dakang people." ”

At the end of August, the king of Dongshan was moved by Li Yang's virtue and tied the tattoo king and his princess to Li Yang's Zhongshan country, wishing to be Li Yang's vassal forever.

Li Yang personally untied the ropes of the two on the main hall, and was willing to return the territory of Zhongshan State, the tattoo king felt deeply guilty, and trapped the subjects of the country in the fire for his own selfish desires, and almost burned the jade, and also said that he would not dare to make trouble in the future, and was willing to take the princess Chiba as Li Yang's little maid and serve closely.

As a good young man with lofty goals, Li Yang naturally would not let such a cunning female tyrannosaurus follow him at any time, but after the reorganization of the tattoo battalion, the first leader of the tattoo army was none other than this female middle school husband.

In such an ethnically mixed place, and the Han people under his command did not occupy an absolute population advantage, selecting elites from different races to form an armed force under him was a necessary method for Li Yang to control such a large territory and population well.

At present, Li Yang has 2,000 men and horses in the 1st and 2nd Legions composed of Han Chinese and basically assimilated natives, 2,000 slave legions composed of slaves of various ethnic groups in various places, less than 1,000 men in the 3rd Legion, which is mainly composed of natives from the former Ryukyu Nanshan Kingdom and its surrounding small countries, and less than 1,000 people in the newly formed Tattoo Corps.

This is not counting the militia and some semi-formal armed forces of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Miyako Chamber of Commerce, the military strength under Li Yang has reached a terrifying nearly 6,000 people, although many of these nearly 6,000 people have just formed the army and lack training, but the strength of so many professional soldiers is unmatched for this kind of island country.

The remaining small states on the west side of Ryukyu Island were all invincible, and with the surrender of the king of Dongshan, the kings of some small countries in the northeast all personally asked for Li Yang's asylum.

It was only mid-September, and nominally, Li Yang had already completed control of the entire Ryukyu Island, and in just four months from the time Li Yang sent troops to occupy the entire island, he swallowed ten times the size of Ryukyu Island with the strength of Miyako Island and the surrounding territories.

The "Edict on the Ryukyu Island" was immediately issued, and Li Yang ordered in the tone of a king to cancel the titles of all the large and small countries on the Ryukyu Island from now on, and from then on they would be called Ryukyu, and all ethnic groups should abandon their previous suspicions and face the biggest enemies of the Ryukyus: the lush jungle, the fierce beasts, the dense insects, and the biggest natural enemy, all kinds of fevers.

The Hou family sent several young children of the clan with a group of newly graduated students to Ryukyu Island to open a school.

In this era, no one can really understand the meaning of Miyako, and Li Yang just wants to plant a little seed in everyone's heart, maybe a hundred years later, it is the descendants who uphold the spirit of Miyako who will overthrow the rule of their descendants, but for Li Yang himself, he will definitely not regret it.

Li Yang still can't return to Miyako Island in a short period of time, and now everything is running well in Miyako Island, but this treasure land of Ryukyu can be used as soon as possible, and the foundation will undoubtedly be three points deeper, and Li Yang's planning on Ryukyu Island has only just begun.

As September passed, the island of Ryukyu was full of life.

The villages, which had been given agricultural tools and seeds in advance, had already completed the work of clearing and sowing seeds, and were waiting for a glimmer of hope. Some cinchona seeds have already sprouted, just waiting to thrive under careful care.

For this kind of free-range village development, Li Yang does not need to invest too much energy in management, and the people here have to adapt to the controlled life step by step.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people who knew him on Ryukyu Island, and enjoying a rare moment of leisure, Li Yang ran out of the city with only two attendants, Wang Er and Zhang San.

It's not easy to find the mood for strolling along the country roads, because while the trails have been built effectively and are already comfortable for duos, they sometimes pass through a low bush or a tall rainforest area. It adds a touch of bumpiness and bumpiness to the whole journey.

"Lord, where are we going this time?" Zhang San asked.

"Let's watch and go, go out for a few days, and decide what village to go to in two days."

In this way, the three of them thought all the way to the south, and the Ryukyu Island was more prosperous near the north, and some mountainous areas in the south were already inaccessible.

Except for the first day when I saw a newly settled village, I didn't encounter any other villages after that.

"Go forward for another hour, and we'll go back if there's nothing." After walking for three days, Li Yang also had aesthetic fatigue with the scenery along the way, although it was all his own land, how to look at it and how to love it, but it was really boring to look at it all the time.

"Owner, ahead!" At this time, Wang Er, who walked to the front of the team, pointed to the distance with a horsewhip, and saw a group of small black dots squirming on the opposite hillside, but it was not a group of people.
