Qinglongwei is located in the west of Dunan Island, it is Qinglong Mountain to the north, Jiuniang Bay to the south, Qinglong River to the east, Xiqi to the west, and the sea outside.

Close to the Qinglong River are the office buildings, canteens, and dormitories of the Qinglong Guard, as well as the living quarters of the health center, the guard unit, and the navy.

Along the southernmost side of the Qinglong River is the heavily guarded central control area, which includes important departments such as weapons depots, guantong stations, and power operation rooms, as well as several large warehouses and open-air stacking areas.

To the west of the Qinglongwei is the dormitory building for the female cadet, and the westernmost part of the Qinglongwei is the dormitory area for the male cadet, and there is a large playground between the male cadet barracks and the female barracks. The camp is close to Qinglong Mountain and is a row of large canteens, each of which can accommodate nearly 250 people to eat together.

Now, except for the officers on duty, all the male and female cadets are watching movies on the playground.

Qian Shuiting and the others and Lu Huitian decided to wait for the movie to end, and organize personnel to load and unload in shifts, and they must unload all the materials tonight, so that these two steamships can go to Keelung tomorrow.

The Coast Guard ship sent the Ryukyu envoy's boat to Kumina Bay and went back. Wei Ruiqi respectfully welcomed Mao Hengde ashore.

Most of the people in the village went to the Jiuniangwan movie, and only a few elderly squires and Wei Ruiqi greeted the arrival of the three Ryukyu officials.

In a large house in the village of Zuna, a bonfire is lit in the middle, and green smoke keeps rising to the roof. This is the headquarters of the Dunan Island Zhai Society, and the roof of the house is a double-storey structure, with a high middle and a block higher than the surrounding area, just enough for ventilation.

The Dunan Island Shrine held a banquet here to entertain the Ryukyu envoys.

It's been a long time since I've eaten white rice like this, and only the lord of the Ryukyus can enjoy it like this.

Mao Hengde ate two big bowls in a row, and he still felt a little unfinished.

"This year's harvest is very good, so much white rice." Mao Hengde put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a towel, feeling particularly freehand.

Mao Hengde just said casually, and everyone in the audience showed embarrassed expressions, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm just asking casually to understand the situation." No taxes will be levied on you. ”

"There is no food on the island now, and all the fields are planted with vegetables."

Mao Hengde suddenly raised his eyebrows.

A group of elders from Dunan Island sat around the room and reported to the three officials of the Ryukyu Kingdom about the changes in Dunan Island in the past few months.

Since the Ming Dynasty occupied the island in July, the population of the island has increased, and all the fields have been rented for them, vegetables have been planted, and all the food needed on the island has been transported from outside.

"How many people are on the island now?"

"I don't know, there have been many ships in July and August, and many people have been transported, I really don't know how many, anyway, there are thousands of people."

"Are there too many people? We just entered the village, and there were not many people in the village! One of Mao Hengde's entourages couldn't help but ask.

"The people of the Ming Dynasty all live on the west side of the island. The people from our village also went to the Ming people, what kind of movies they like about the Ming Dynasty! ”

An old man who had never been accustomed to the actions of the young people in the village said angrily, "Is this still our island?" These young people all ran out day and night, and they were our children, and they all became Ming people. ”

This old man usually does things a little upside down, and today he was disciplining his son at home, but he was pushed back to death. He has been disgusted until now, and taking advantage of the arrival of the three officials of the Ryukyus, the old man couldn't help but vent the resentment in his heart.

"Yes, yes! A lot of old people also followed behind to join in the fun, so what kind of movie hooked all their souls. The old men in the room all felt the same way.

At this time, a villager hurriedly came from outside the village, and when he arrived at Wei Siyu, who was standing at the door, he hurriedly stopped, "Young Master, Commissar Mao is back!" He gasped and said, "There was Commissar Mao of the Ming Dynasty on that fleet just now, and there was also a Qian Shoufu." ”

Wei Siyu immediately walked into the house and gently told his father Wei Ruiqi the news.

Wei Ruiqi pressed his hand on the desk, leaned over and turned to Mao Hengde, the third official on the side, "My lord, just now, Daming came with a lot of steamships, the Ryukyu patrol envoy came back, and the first assistant of Daming also came." ”

"The first assistant of the Ming Dynasty!" Mao Hengde listened and nodded secretly.

Mao Hengde came here this time to have a good contact with the Ming side and explain the situation in Ryukyu in order to get assistance. Knowing that the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty was also here, Mao Hengde suddenly became much lighter. He was also worried that Daming did not have an authority on Dunan Island, so he would have to run for nothing.

Mao Hengde secretly thought, although this Ming Dynasty still doesn't know where it is sacred, but he claims to be a great power of the Celestial Empire, and he will not be as arrogant and unreasonable as those blonde and blue-eyed Westerners.

"Daming's Shousuke-sama is also here!" The old man who was angry just now stood up tremblingly, "So, they want to occupy our island. Your Excellency, the Ryukyus must be our master. ”

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Wei Siyu said loudly, "Although our Dunan Island is far away overseas and belongs to the Ming Dynasty, that is a matter of course. The Ryukyu Kingdom has always been a barrier to China, so it should not oppose the Celestial Empire, right? ”

Wei Siyu has been in the Daming camp for more than three months, and he has long been brainwashed.

"Presumptuous!" Wei Ruiqi suddenly sank his face and scolded, "The third official is above, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense, get out!" ”

Although Wei Ruiqi agrees with his son's words, he also has to take into account the face of the Ryukyus.

Mao Hengde immediately waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, your son is from the bottom of his heart, it's commendable." Naha is far away from the island and knows very little about the situation. This Lord was appointed by the director of the country as an envoy to observe the wind, so far he is specially aware of the people's feelings, and I hope that all the villagers will speak freely. ”

Wei Siyu sat down behind his father.

"My Excellency, I want to say a few words." A villager saluted Mao Hengde, "Although we have always been the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the islanders have not felt the slightest benefit of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The poll tax has been overwhelming the islanders. Needless to say, during the day, at night, you have to cultivate the land and weave cloth by the moonlight and starlight.

But after the Ming Dynasty came, the island was different, the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were abolished, and the islanders only needed to work for four hours a day, and they no longer had to work from morning to night. I eat white rice every day, and I have such a good fabric. ”

The villager pointed to the clothes he was wearing, "This is the old boy sent to me by the Ming Dynasty." I've never worn such soft clothes since I was a child, and I still have white rice to eat every day, and I'm happy even if I'm dead. As he spoke, the old man's tears fell.

"yes, yes!"

This sentence immediately resonated with everyone, and they all remembered the days before Daming came, did they have white rice to eat every day? Is there such a good cloth to wear? ”

With a "snap", the old man just now slapped the desk, and he raised his voice, "The island has been passed down from generation to generation, even if we are not the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom, can't we just be tied up to this inexplicable Ming?" ”

"Uh-huh, presumptuous!"

Mao Hengde's face suddenly sank, "The Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and I have been grateful for the kindness of the Ryukyu generations, and my generation should be grateful to Dade, how can I trust my mouth and slander for no reason." ”

The old man fell to his knees in fright, and could not even speak.

There was no sound in the room, only the snorting and beating of flames in the brazier.

"If you wait for the people to be ignorant, Lord Ben will not care about you, if you let the Celestial Empire know, it will not be spared." Mao Hengde was a little disgusted, feeling that there was nothing to communicate with these ignorant islanders, he waved his hand, "Okay, let's disperse." ”

Looking at the distant figures of the villagers, Mao Hengde suddenly felt that he should send a letter to Daming. He thought that he had been on the island for a long time, and the people he had seen were not few, so he must not let Daming misunderstand his intentions.

"By the way, Wei Zhisi, you can send someone to guide the way, let my attendants go to inform Da Ming, tomorrow morning, Lord Ben will go to Qinglongwei to visit the Celestial Empire."

About an hour later, the guards returned.

He told Mao Hengde that he had been received by a man named Mu Luoyi, who claimed to be the new Ryukyu envoy, and that the envoy said that he was welcome to visit the Ryukyu envoy.

When the guards looked a little wooden, Mao Hengde thought that he had been taught a lesson by someone.

"No, Lord Sanguan, this Ming Dynasty is really extraordinary, there are lights everywhere on their side, and the lights are brighter than the moon. Under the lights, it's like daytime.

There are a lot of people in that movie, hundreds of them, the movie is full of real people, and the people on it can walk, jump and talk, just like the real thing~~~~"

The guards gestured with their hands and feet, and Mao Hengde was very shocked when he heard it.

"Let's go, Wei Zhisi, you find a place and let me watch from a distance." Mao Hengde grabbed Wei Ruiqi and asked him to lead the way to the end.

At this time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Wei Ruiqi was a little embarrassed, "My lord, the road is very long, and it will take at least an hour to go back and forth." ”

"It doesn't matter."

On the way, a large number of islanders who came back from the movie were let go, and the group climbed up the Jiuniang Rock and overlooked Jiuniang Bay from the big rock.

I saw that the wharf of Jiuniang Bay was as bright as day, and a large number of ships were docked in the harbor, and a large number of people on the wharf were unloading goods from the docked steamboats.

The lights in this harbor are brighter than the stars in the sky, and Mao Hengde suddenly felt an eye-opener, "Wei Zhisi, the lights below here are really beautiful scenery in the world, and this Lord is really worth the trip." ”

"Yes, Lord Sanguan, those ships in your harbor have no sails or slurry, and they are still made of steel, this Celestial Empire is the Celestial Empire, and those ministers are by no means mortals."

"Oh!" Mao Hengde gasped, this is really unheard of.

He groaned for a while and asked, "Wei Zhisi, you said that this Ming Dynasty will not be a momentary fad, are they really destined for heaven?" ”

"Of course, I have long heard that those red-haired and blue-eyed foreigners are running towards us from the West, and the Manchus are useless, they can't deal with foreign devils, so God sent this Great Tomorrow Dynasty down to deal with those foreigners." Wei Ruiqi took the opportunity to promote what Wei Siyu heard from Daming.

Mao Hengde listened and nodded yes.

Jiuniang Peak Guantong Station is dozens of meters higher than Jiuniang Rock, and the horizontal distance from Jiuniang Rock is about two kilometers away, and there is very little vegetation on Jiuniang Rock, almost bare, and there is no cover. Therefore, as soon as Mao Hengde and the others went up to Jiuniang Rock, they were discovered by the soldiers of Guantong Station in time, and the call was quickly called to the Qinglongwei duty room.

Qian Shuiting, Wang Tiezhu, and Mao Pi were sitting on the platform in the duty room on the third floor of the Qinglongwei Organ, where they watched the loading and unloading of the dock. The loading and unloading of the wharf is in charge of Lu Huitian and others.

"What? There is a group of people who have gone to Jiuniang Rock! Well, got it. ”

Jiuniang Rock is on the east side of Jiuniang Bay, guarding the safety of Jiuniang Bay. Mao Bi thought to himself, Jiuniangyan has been peaceful for more than three months. As soon as Mao Hengde came to the island today, there was movement on Jiuniang Rock.

Mao Bi didn't think about it, "This must be Mao Hengde!" ”

"Grab it!" Wang Tiehammer snorted, "Dunan Island is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ryukyuan people can't be left in a no-man's land. ”

Qian Shuiting frowned, he held the hammer, "It's easy to catch, what should I do after that?" ”

In the evening, they received a telegram from Bai Baoxiang and the others, saying that the Dinghai side believed that they should not be busy making contact with these small countries first, and then develop relations with Japan, Ryukyu, Korea, and other small countries after they had steadily occupied Taiwan.

Wang Tiezhu disagreed, "It's okay, find someone to lead Mao Hengde to visit Qinglongwei tomorrow, and drive him away the day after tomorrow." Let Mao Hengde first feel the emerging atmosphere of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty and plant a seed for him. If he has the consciousness of leading ~ road ~ party, he will contact him again in the future. ”

Qian Shuiting groaned slightly, "Okay! Send someone who is safe and pay attention to the way. ”

It didn't take long for Xun Suji to take the guards from Jiuniang Rock and brought Mao Hengde, Wei Ruiqi and others down.
