Chapter 361: Passing through the Ryukyus

Suranan smiled bitterly: "Everyone has ambitions and desires, and it would be a lie to say that they didn't have such thoughts before. But after seeing the Tang Emperor, he was shocked by what His Majesty said. Those who offend my heavenly might, although they are far away, will be punished. Such ambitions are not as good as my generation. However, the Ryukyu Kingdom has the Tang Dynasty as its suzerain, and the imperial family is gone, so it is normal to ask the suzerainty to accept it. I also know that only the Tang Dynasty can really make the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom live a good life. ”

Although Changsun Chong had this idea in his heart, he didn't expect Su Lanan to say it in person, and said: "Lord Su understands the righteousness and admires it, but this matter should not be rushed. Otherwise, it will arouse the disgust of the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and our Datang will be thankless at that time. ”

Suran smiled bitterly: "Hehe, it's hard to say, but when I go to the Ryukyu Kingdom, as long as I live for one day, I will definitely honor what I said today." Although it is tempting to become the king of a country, it can make the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom live a rich life like the people of the Tang Dynasty, and Su died without regrets. Not because of anything else, just because Su used to live a poor life. The common people have very few requirements, as long as they are well fed and clothed, but such simple requirements are extravagant expectations. Although the Japanese people are hateful, if the lord of our country is competitive, wise, does not like luxury, and is good at employing people, the Ryukyu Kingdom will not be left without soldiers to defend against the enemy, and the people will not be able to make a living, and they will always be oppressed by the Japanese state. To put it heart-wrenchingly, if it weren't for the fact that the Tang Dynasty was our suzerain, we would have been annexed and destroyed by the Japanese State long ago. ”

When the eldest grandson heard this, he was very moved, and said, "If it really comes to that day, I will explain it to Your Majesty." It's just that this matter is please, and the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom are willing to do so. For this matter, we are not reluctant. ”

"Thank you, General Changsun." Suranan gratefully said that the prisoners of war had been taken in, and it was time to move on to the next step.

The eldest grandson Chong heard this and said, "You're welcome. Maybe we'll be colleagues in the future. ”

Su Lanan should be, Fang smiled easily, and followed Datang in the future, doing a good job for the people, and he couldn't be sorry for the villagers who once provided him with a hundred family meals.

After a while, the big ship finally docked, and Dai Zhicheng was notified to the clipper and had already brought everyone out to greet him. Both sides of the wharf were stained with low-ranking officials and soldiers who had followed Dai Zhicheng to the Ryukyus, followed by a large number of scrawny Ryukyu people.

The few ships that Dai Zhicheng brought over before were already considered large, but in front of the battleship here. More than one. Densely packed, there were many, as well as captured and more than 30 warships of the Japanese kingdom.

The people of the Ryukyu Kingdom have been suppressed by the mighty soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, look at the armor on their bodies. Shiny and shiny, look at the spear in his hand. Razor-sharp. Even boulders can pierce through it.

Dai Zhicheng greeted Li Jing, Changsun Chong, Cheng Yanjin, Duan Zhixuan and others on the edge of the dock.

The eldest grandson Chong, as a junior, can only be at the end, oops. Oh my god, what can such a low wall block! This Japanese kingdom has been fighting for so long, and it has not yet won a victory. It can be seen how poor the combat effectiveness is.

Although Dai Zhicheng is there, Changsun Chong can't relax, these old generals can't have an accident. , explain to the people behind you, you must protect the old generals well.

Dai Zhicheng has prepared everything, but who knows if there are any spies of the Japanese Kingdom here, you must know that the royal family of the Ryukyu Kingdom has been killed by the Japanese people, so you can't take it lightly.

Entering the city, the defense of the city here was immediately replaced by the Tang army, and a steady stream of food was moved down from the ship, and the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom, who had been nervous for so long, saw that the Tang reinforcements were back, and they welcomed them one after another. With the army of the Tang Dynasty, he was finally not afraid of the Japanese Kingdom coming again.

The discipline of the army of the Tang Dynasty is strict, and before getting off the ship, he also received repeated reprimands from Li Jing, and when he arrived in the Ryukyu Kingdom, as in the Tang Dynasty, all disciplines had to be observed, so after entering the city, he did not disturb the people, and did not take a stitch from the people.

Dai Zhicheng welcomed Li Jing and others into the prepared mansion, which was a Qin king's mansion in the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was very clean, except for the imperial palace, this was a fixed place.

Dai Zhicheng reported to Li Jing about the actions of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

"General Lee, this castle is called Hakujo, and it is located in the northern half of the Ryukyu Kingdom. I have persuaded the local people to lease it to us so that we can grow food and be self-sufficient in food and grass beforehand. Dai Zhicheng said in a deep voice.

"Will the Ryukyu Kingdom oppose it?" Li Jing asked rhetorically, this is the most important thing, and Datang's reputation must not be affected.

Dai Zhicheng replied respectfully: "The people of the Ryukyu Kingdom have a very good impression of our Tang Dynasty, and now if it were not for the Weichen to lead the people to govern the country and resist the Japanese Kingdom, the current Ryukyu Kingdom would no longer exist." The rice seeds we brought here before can be planted for four seasons a year, and now one season has been harvested, which has greatly alleviated the situation here, and even many officials have surrendered to Chengcheng and want to become our Datang people. ”

"Well, that's good!" Li Jing bowed his head, "Be careful, you can't lose the power of Datang Tianwei, and you can't let people think that our Datang is bullying." ”

"Yes, sir!" Dai Zhicheng said respectfully.

"It's okay for the time being, you continue to take over the government affairs of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and select more capable officials to participate in the governance, hoping to restore the normal production order of the Ryukyu Kingdom as soon as possible." Li Jing explained, "By the way, this is General Changsun, he will also participate in local government affairs, if he doesn't understand something, you can advise him a lot." ”

As soon as the eldest grandson Chong heard about him, he hurriedly said, "There will be Lord Lao Dai in the future." ”

"This is under the duty, General Changsun should not be polite, who doesn't know that General Changsun is a good hand in handling government affairs, and he has to learn more from General Changsun." Dai Zhicheng said with a smile, whether it is Bagua City, as well as the reclamation of Dingzhou, Hebei and other places, they all reflect a very good side, and with the addition of Changsun Chong, the Ryukyu Kingdom can also return to normal as soon as possible.

The crisis of the army's crushing has been lifted, and the military base will be built before it can be slowly planned.

"Okay, General Changsun, you go out with Master Dai, go out and find out." Li Jing began to drive people away, and he now made a plan to prepare the next battle plan.

Dai Zhicheng rushed out of Li Jing's room with his eldest grandson, and when he got outside, he was much more relaxed, and said: "Just now, the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom, when they saw our Tang Dynasty soldiers, their eyes almost didn't fall to the ground. In fact, it doesn't matter to them who becomes the emperor, the important thing is to let them live a good life. For the vassal state, the Tang Dynasty can give rain and dew blessings, and it would be better if it became a common man of the Tang Dynasty. They also heard that the Tang Dynasty sent troops only because the Japanese State had slaughtered a village in the Tang Dynasty, so they sent troops for revenge. You must know that in the Ryukyu Kingdom, it is looted by the Wa Kingdom every year, and every time it is burned and looted, how is it more than a village? This is also the most important reason why the Ryukyu Kingdom hated the Wakoku. ”

Changsun Chong sighed that this Wa State has been a plundering people since the beginning of the country, so this time the Wa State must be destroyed and this aggression must be transformed into servility.

"Well, it is good that the people have this idea, we now have large ships, and we can govern here, and this place can also be used as a resting place for Western merchants, and the trade must be prosperous; The climate here is very hot, rice can be grown for four seasons, and countless grains can be received during the year. Don't look at the Ryukyu country, but it is rich in a lot of minerals, and there are many treasures in it. Changsun Chong added, the implication is that the territory of this Ryukyu Kingdom is already our Tang Dynasty.

Dai Zhicheng's heart is surging, he is just a civil servant, if he wants to expand the territory, it is really not an ordinary easy thing, fortunately, he participated in this time and won the Ryukyus, then it can be regarded as having a contribution to expanding the territory. It's a bit difficult to get into the knighthood, but it's absolutely no problem to add an official, so he has to work hard and strive to wear a purple robe.

Dai Zhicheng took his eldest grandson Chong around the city and said: "The city is depressed only because all the manpower and material resources are used to resist the invasion of the Japanese state. Well, now that we have a large army, we can rectify the market in the next place. ”

"Well, it's just right, this time we also brought a lot of Datang things, just in time to open a store. The commoners of the Ryukyu Kingdom had no money, but the nobles had no less. Eldest Sun Chong looked at the empty shop, but it was a pity.

Dai Zhicheng nodded and said, "That's really good, the few embroidered purses I brought before were replaced." They used gold and silver, and they were rich. ”

The eldest grandson Chong said: "Hehe, then we can make a lot of money this time." By the way, this time we brought more rice seeds, are we going to plant them ourselves, or are we going to distribute them to the people of Ryukyu Kingdom? ”

Dai Zhicheng thought for a while and said: "In order to appease more people in the Ryukyu Kingdom, we can give a family half a catty of rice seeds, and with these rice seeds, at least they can eat enough this year." We took the opportunity to send some rice planting technicians to help them and make them yearn for Datang even more. Baixin people live a good life, and everything falls into place. ”

The eldest grandson Chong heard this and said, "Hehe, this is very good, anyway, there are a lot of seeds brought." "Changsun Chong even brought a lot of watermelon seeds, ready to plant big watermelons.

After resting for two days, the eldest grandson began to fully devote himself to work, riding a horse and taking everyone around to see the surrounding environment.

The Tang Dynasty brought very advanced production tools, more wasteland was mined, and even many people from the Ryukyu Kingdom came to learn farming.

As for those who did not have land in the Ryukyu Kingdom, they were invited to open mines and were paid a lot of wages. These mines were not obtained by Datang for nothing, but were bought for 50,000 taels of silver. All of this money was given to the people of the Ryukyus Kingdom in the form of goods, and the most of them was food.

Many homeless people in the country have found jobs here, and those who are unable to work have a special person in charge of pension to give porridge, and as long as they come, they have porridge to eat.

The people saw the sincerity of Datang, and the officials of Datang never bullied ordinary people, so that the people were closer to Datang. (To be continued......)
