Two days later, the town of Vaulting Horse regained its former tranquility, and apart from the occasional patrols of the Ming Navy on the streets, the inhabitants were busy with their affairs as usual in an orderly manner, and no one would have thought that it had just experienced a war in the past, if it were not for the ruins of Vaulting Horse Harbor.

The reason why Jumping Horse Town was able to stabilize so quickly was thanks to a decision made by Li Yuntian - relief, under Li Yuntian's order, the Ming Army Naval Division used military supplies to help the people of Jumping Horse Town, and each family received a food ration of about a month according to the number of heads.

For the people of Vaulting Horse Town, who usually only eat fish, shrimp, wild vegetables, and radishes, the fragrant rice was a huge temptation that could not be resisted, so that they quickly eliminated their fear of the Ming army's sailors.

The Ming army sailors had already posted notices in the neighborhoods and villages in the area of Jumping Horse Town, telling them that they could choose to stay on Ryukyu Island or return to the four islands of the Japanese country, and that if they wanted to stay, they must be loyal to the Ming and Yamaguchi Keiko, and only then could they stay on the land of the Ryukyus.

In order to better resettle those Japanese people, Li Yuntian has already asked people to start counting the cultivated land and wasteland in Jumping Horse Town and the surrounding areas, and is ready to distribute those lands to the Japanese people.

In this way, it can not only speed up the construction of the Vaulting Horse Town area, but also make those Japanese people sincerely serve the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yuntian had already considered that he would build a huge military base in the northern part of Ryukyu Island in the name of "Bei Wa", and thousands of people would move from the eastern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty to settle here.

Since the Ryukyu Kingdom was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Ryukyu King could not have any objection to Li Yuntian's decision, and this was a good thing for the Ryukyu Kingdom, which meant that it was officially absorbed by the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, being able to join the powerful Ming Empire was something that small overseas countries looked forward to and longed for, especially the Ryukyu Kingdom, a small country threatened by the Japanese State, needed military protection from the Ming Dynasty, and its royal family members did not have to worry about damage to their interests.

After all, the royal family of the Ryukyu Kingdom was sealed by the Ming Emperor, and once they were incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would definitely guarantee the rights and interests of these royal families, but if the Japanese invaded, it would be a catastrophe for the Ryukyu royal family, and they would not recognize those royal families like the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, King Shang Yuan's life is not easy now, before the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, he is only temporarily acting as the king of the Ryukyus, and he will not oppose Li Yuntian's decision at all.

On the morning of the third day, under the leadership of Li Yuntian, the Japanese people in the area of Jumping Horse Town held a vote concerning their fate.

The vote was simple, since the Ryukyu Island was not a place for the Wakoku, there were two options before these Wakoku, one was to leave the Ryukyu Island and return to their hometown on the four islands of the Wakoku, and the other was to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and recognize Keiko Yamaguchi as their lord.

In order to dispel the concerns of those Japanese people, Li Yuntian has solemnly promised to respect the choice of the Japanese people, and will definitely not go back on his word and find trouble with them.

Not only that, but if the Japanese chose to return to their homeland, he was going to give them three months of food to help them spend the first three months in their hometown, so that they would have time to find a way to earn a living.

At this moment, the Japanese people in Vaulting Horse Town already knew that this heroic young man who had promised them was actually the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he was as noble as the shogun of their Japanese kingdom.

The reason why we want to talk about the shogun and not the emperor of the Wakuni is that the power of the emperor has been hollowed out by the shogunate since the beginning of the 10th century, and it is the shogun of the shogunate and not the emperor of the Wakuni who really rules the Wakoku.

It is worth mentioning that the kings of the Wa Kingdom canonized by the Ming Dynasty were usually shoguns who held real power, not the emperors of the Wa Kingdom, because in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the actual rulers of the Wa Kingdom were the shoguns of the Shogunate.

Because of Li Yuntian's high position, the Japanese people in Jumping Horse Town naturally believed that he would not lie, plus in the past few days, the Ming army sailors have not only vigorously relieved these Japanese people but also committed no crimes against them, and there are rumors in the market that those who stay will get land that can be cultivated.

As a result, the result of this vote was one-sided, with the exception of more than 100 Japanese who wanted to return to their hometowns in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the others chose to stay, believing that life in the Ryukyus was better than that of the Japanese people, otherwise they would not have left their homeland to come to the Ryukyus.

After the vote, Li Yuntian asked Li Zixi to stay behind to assist Keiko Yamaguchi and Saburo Domoto in dealing with the follow-up of Vaulting Horse Town, and he rushed back to Shuri Port overnight.

Moreover, Li Yuntian gave Zhang Ren three days to check whether King Shangyuan was qualified to inherit the throne of the Ryukyu king, and now Zhang Ren should also give him a result.

For Li Yuntian, since he came to the Ryukyu Kingdom this time, he had to settle the affairs of the Ryukyu King in order to stabilize the political situation of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In the quiet night, Li Yuntian lay on a recliner on the deck of the Mingyang and closed his eyes to rest, blowing the refreshing sea breeze in front of him.

In his opinion, it is easy to eliminate the Japanese people in Vaulting Horse Town, but this result is not what he wants, and how to recover those Japanese people for their use is the most important thing.

If spending a little money can make the widows of Vaulting Horse Port take refuge in Daming, then Li Yuntian thinks that this business is very worthwhile.

"Xianggong, do you think the shogunate will let the Satsuma clan hand over the people." Lei Ting came to Li Yuntian's side, squatted down and asked with a smile while massaging his head.

After capturing the town of Vaulting Horse, the Ming army sailors found a large number of looted property from Songjiang Mansion in the town's warehouse, and the captured Japanese also confessed to the looting of Songjiang Mansion.

This allowed Li Yuntian to have conclusive evidence in his hands, so he sent a letter to the shogun's general, asking him to hand over the Japanese who participated in the attack on the Ming Songjiang Prefecture within a month, otherwise he would personally lead his army to the Satsuma domain to arrest those Japanese invaders.

"The Satsuma Domain is the overlord of Kyushu, and now that the internal fighting in the Wa Kingdom is fierce, I am afraid that the shogunate will not be able to do anything about the Satsuma Domain." Li Yuntian shook his head slightly when he heard this, "It seems that we are going to go to Kyushu Island in a month." ”

"Xianggong, isn't it too early to go to Kyushu Island now, our fleet is only more than 20,000 people in total, once the Satsuma Domain unites the Ming of Kyushu to confront us, we will suffer." Lei Ting groaned for a while, and said to Li Yuntian with some concern.

Lei Ting knew that the Satsuma Domain had always acted arrogantly, and the local daimyo in Kyushu were afraid of it, so if he provoked it, something bad might happen.

The Japanese daimyo of Kyushu Island is the strongest of the four islands of the Japanese Kingdom, and the reinforcements of the two eastern expeditions to the Japanese Kingdom failed to gain a foothold on Kyushu Island, which shows the strength of its strength.

Lei Ting was not afraid of the daimyo of Kyushu Island such as the Satsuma Domain, but she thought that the number of troops brought by Li Yuntian this time was too small, except for the people under Keiko Yamaguchi and Saburo Domoto, there were only more than 10,000 sailors in the Ming army.

Among them, among these 10,000 people, there are only 3,000 marines of the naval division, and the rest are either logistics personnel, seafarers, and artillery battalion personnel.

Therefore, Lei Ting had to worry about Li Yuntian's safety, thinking that the timing of Li Yuntian's trip this time was not good, so he should first manage the military base in Vaulting Horse Port, and then concentrate on teaching the Satsuma Domain a lesson.

"It's not easy for Xiang Gong to come here, why don't you go to Wa Kuni, it's almost the cherry blossom season, and Xiang Gong wants to go to the bottom of Mt. Fuji on Honshu Island to enjoy the cherry blossoms."

Li Yuntian knew that Lei Ting was worried about him, so he patted her hand with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Xianggong knows in his heart, if Xianggong comes to Ryukyu and doesn't go to the Wa Kingdom, they still think that Xianggong is worried and afraid of them." ”

Lei Ting smiled slightly when she heard this, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she knew that Li Yuntian was not that kind of impulsive person, and since she was going to the Wa Kingdom this time, she must have been fully prepared.

In fact, Lei Ting knew that Li Yuntian had another thing to do, that is, to find out who was behind the scenes to instigate the Satsuma Domain to loot Songjiang Mansion, and this enemy was the most dangerous.

Early the next morning, the Ming Yang arrived at Shuri Port under the escort of several three-masted warships, and the news immediately spread to the palace of Shuri Castle.

However, someone boarded the Ming Yang one step ahead of King Shang Yuan, and he was Zhang Ren, who was sent by the Ming Rites Department to investigate the case in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Since receiving Li Yuntian's errand, Zhang Ren did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to investigate the hidden circumstances of King Shang Yuan's succession, Shuri City is a place with a big palm, because three days is enough time for him to find out the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

"You're saying that there was a coup d'état in the Ryukyu Kingdom that killed several of King Shangpashi's princes?" After looking through the information that Zhang Ren had found, Li Yuntian asked quietly.

"Lord, that's exactly the case." Zhang Ren nodded, and said seriously, "According to the investigation of the lower officials, King Shangba Zhi was supposed to succeed to the throne after his death, but due to the opposition of the ministers of the court, it caused a civil strife, and King Shang Yuan was able to ascend to the throne, including the princess of King Shang Bazhi, and all the people who were related to King Shang Ba Zhi seem to have died. ”

"Now, then, King Shoyuan is still the best candidate for the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom." Li Yuntian couldn't help but shake his head helplessly when he heard this, now that all the people in the line of King Shangba Zhi have died, it seems that there is indeed no one more suitable to succeed to the throne except for King Shang Yuan.

"Judging from the stability of the Ryukyu Kingdom, King Shang Yuan is indeed the most suitable candidate for the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and he has also taken control of the power of the Ryukyu Kingdom." Hearing this, Zhang Ren bowed to Li Yuntian and said in a deep voice.

"The king hasn't read this public document, so you don't need this king to teach you how to play the court." Faced with this established fact in front of him, Li Yuntian pondered for a while and then put down the information in his hand and said to Zhang Ren meaningfully.

"The prince can rest assured, the lower officials know how to write, and the overall situation of the Ryukyus is the most important." Zhang Ren is also an old fritter who has been in the Ministry of Rites for more than ten years, so he naturally knew what Li Yuntian meant, and hurriedly bowed down and replied, instead of letting the court know the truth, it is better to play as King Shang Yuan said, anyway, the wood is already in the boat, why bother to make it difficult for the court again?

"Lord Yu, there is a woman who claims to be the princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom Shangpashi and wants to ask to see the prince!" Just when Li Yuntian was planning to let King Shang Yuan inherit the throne of the Ryukyu King in this way, an unexpected accident happened, and a military attache walked in and whispered to him.

"What?" Li Yuntian was taken aback when he heard this, if he remembered correctly, the princess of King Shangba Zhi had already died in a fire with the crown prince.
