Chapter 583: The King of the Ryukyus

Ryukyu is an island country with many islands, and it has long been a vassal to the dynasty on the mainland, and it also pays tribute every year, and of course it receives a lot of rewards.

The last time the king of Ryukyu went to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, he found that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had changed again, and he was still lamenting that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had changed really quickly, he had only changed it four years ago, and now he has changed another one, and the new emperor is even older.

But he didn't care about that, he cared about how much he could get for the tribute. The result made him very satisfied, because Zhu Di gave him a lot of rewards, what weapons, tea, silk and the like, in the Ming Dynasty, they were all rotten things, and in the eyes of the King of the Ryukyus, they were all treasures, so he returned to China happily.

But only a few months after returning home, I suddenly heard that there was a powerful Ming Dynasty fleet heading towards the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the momentum was fierce, as if it was coming to exterminate the Ryukyus, which really scared the king very much.

So when Hu Ye's fleet had not yet arrived in Ryukyu, the king of Ryukyu summoned all the ministers, in fact, dozens of people, to the southernmost island of Ryukyu to meet Hu Ye's fleet, for fear of neglecting the commander of this fleet, if he got angry, it would be bad to destroy the entire Ryukyus.

However, the first thing they saw was Ida Niichi's small boats, which were full of Japanese pirates, and the king of the Ryukyus was scared half to death.

The reason why their Ryukyu Kingdom paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty was not only because of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, but also because they wanted the protection of the Ming Dynasty, because their Ryukyu Kingdom was often harassed by the Japanese Emperor, and only the powerful Ming Dynasty could protect them.

Now that so many Japanese have landed in the Ryukyus, isn't it going to destroy their Ryukyu country?

"Quick! Fast! The clipper went to the Ming Dynasty for help! ”

The king of the Ryukyus shouted loudly, because he had seen the vicious face of the Japanese on the ship, and it seemed that he would not give up if he did not destroy the Ryukyus. Look at the huge fleet behind, except for the Ming Dynasty, no force can save them.

But his voice had barely landed, and the would-be robbers rushed down from the boat, wielding broadswords. Suddenly collapsed on the beach outside the island, and then the blood stained the water on the beach red.

"What the hell is going on?"

The king of the Ryukyus was stunned, could it be that the big ships behind were from the Ming Dynasty?

That's right! Except for the powerful Ming Dynasty, what country could have such a large fleet?

"Whew"

Hu Ye blew the white smoke from the flintlock pistol, and then put it on his waist.

"Put it away."

After that, Hu Ye said to a few soldiers of the Shenji Battalion next to him.

Several soldiers put away their guns, then loaded their ammunition and waited for the next shot.

"You...... You! That's my soldier! Why did you give the order to shoot! ”

Kuramiya Minoru suddenly ran over frantically, wanting to grab Hu Ye's collar and question loudly, but was kicked out of the boat by Lao Qian and rolled out of the boat several meters away. Then he stopped, stood up, and continued to roar.

"They want to go to the island to burn, kill, rob and abuse, and I naturally have to take care of it." Hu Ye said indifferently.

"They are not soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, why do you care about them!"

Kuramiya Minoru said viciously, Hu Ye killed all his soldiers just now, the soldiers he used to counterattack Kyushu, there were not many soldiers in the first place, and he came all the way. After experiencing wind and rain, two small boats have been lost, and the number of soldiers has been reduced by dozens of people, and now they are being wheeled down by Hu Ye. With a dozen reduced, how could he not be angry?

"Ryukyu is a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty, and they pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, so they should be protected by my Ming Dynasty. Your soldiers want to go to the island to burn and loot without my permission? Shouldn't I have killed? Hu Ye shrugged his shoulders, and then ordered the fleet to slow down. Preparing to land in the Ryukyus.

"You! You devil! ”

Kuramiya Minoru suddenly found that he couldn't find any words to describe Hu Ye, why did he have hope to go back to attack Kyushu, but he had to take away hope little by little. If this continues, when he returns to Kyushu, he is afraid that there will be less than 4,000 of his 5,000 soldiers, so what will he talk about capturing Kyushu at that time?

"Damn it!"

On a ship in front, Ida Nichi pulled out a long knife, looked at the side of the ship, and said viciously.

He also saw the scene just now, but he was helpless, he still had to ask Hu Ye now, and he couldn't break with Hu Ye. What's more, even if it is a trouble, his little bit of people is not Hu Ye's opponent.

"In the lower Ryukyu king, greet the great general of the Ming Dynasty."

After Hu Yeshuai's army landed, the king of Ryukyu hurriedly brought the minister of civil and military affairs to greet him. In their opinion, a general of the Ming Dynasty was more noble than his status as a king, because just Hu Ye's fleet could destroy Ryukyu many times.

"Your Majesty is polite, you are a friend of our emperor, and it is our duty to solve your troubles."

Hu Ye smiled, but he accepted the salute of the king of the Ryukyus, because he is now a general of the imperial court, which represents the Ming Dynasty and has the majesty of the heavenly kingdom.

"General, what's going on with those pirates?"

The king of the Ryukyus said that Hu Ye was brought into his palace, and then asked Hu Ye in a low voice.

"It's nothing, they are soldiers of the Wa Kingdom, this time I was ordered to escort them back to the Wa Kingdom, and I came up to replenish some fresh water and food through the Ryukyus." Hu Ye said casually.

"Since it's a wolf, why don't you just kill it, they are evildoers."

The king of the Ryukyus said a little coldly, after this short period of contact, he found that Hu Ye was not the kind of person who was decisive in killing, and he was so young, maybe he could take this opportunity to solve the troubles of the Ryukyus once and for all.

"What? Do you want you to teach me how to do it? ”

Hu Ye suddenly sneered, and the King of the Ryukyus suddenly shuddered, only then did he realize that he seemed to have misunderstood, and hurriedly said yes.

"Is this your palace? Even Lao Tzu's Guogong Mansion can't catch up, it's too stumbling. ”

Zhu Neng put his butt on the chair, looking at the decorations around the palace, he could only use the word poor, and it was really not as good as his Chengguo Mansion.

"Dare to ask who this is?" The king of the Ryukyus saw that Zhu Neng was so arrogant in front of Hu Ye, and knew that this person was also a person with great potential.

"This is the Duke of Cheng Guo of the Ming Dynasty, and this time he is the deputy commander of the entire fleet." Hu Ye said casually.

"Xiao Wang has seen Cheng Guogong."

The king of the Ryukyus hurriedly saluted, a prince, the status of the Ming Dynasty was high, and when he came to the Ryukyus, it would be even more noble, although he did not understand. Why would Zhu Di send a prince to a kid as a deputy, is this kid Zhu Di's illegitimate son? Thinking that the king of the Ryukyus had a little more curiosity about Hu Ye.

"Okay, okay, don't talk much, quickly bring your Ryukyu delicious food and drink to Lao Tzu, these days on the sea are about to fade out of the birds."

Zhu Neng said with a big grin, he wouldn't be polite to the king of the Ryukyus, isn't he a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and he dares to be disrespectful to himself?

"Yes, Xiao Wang will ask someone to prepare a dinner party, and there are a lot of supplies." The king of the Ryukyus hurriedly nodded yes. Xindao is still not as easy to get along with as Hu Ye, he is simply too rude, and he doesn't know how he became a Guogong.

After sailing on the sea for more than ten days, it is indeed about to fade out of the birds, Hu Ye looked at the seafood prepared by the King of the Ryukyus, and devoured it, it was much better than those bean sprouts and beans on the ship, even if he caught fish at sea, there were not so many seasonings. I can't make it taste so delicious.

Xiaoqiang is really gobbling up, like a starving ghost reincarnated, and he doesn't care about fish bones, one fish at a time. I don't know why.

However, Kuramiya Minoru and Ida Nichi and others ate extremely cautiously, because for them, the Ryukyuan people were enemies, and they often came to bully the Ryukyuan people in the past. Now there is Hu Ye to give the Ryukyuan people courage, and he is very worried that these Ryukyuan people will be murderous, and he is afraid that there is medicine in these meals.

But looking at Hu Ye, they were very happy to eat. The Japanese finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to gobble it up, but apparently the Ryukyuan people had a problem with them, and they didn't put any spices in the food they gave them, not even salt, but they ate them one by one with great pleasure.

"Boy, eat more, after the Ryukyus, there will be a long sea journey."

Hu Ye threw Sun Hang a fish, in fact, he dared to eat it so confidently and boldly, or because Sun Hang was there, and he was sure that there was no medicine in it, so he dared to eat it boldly.

"Dean, I'm ......"

Sun Hang looked at the fish in the bowl and suddenly had a sour nose.

Hu Ye knew that this product was homesick, and when he thought about it, this guy was about the same age as himself, and he had never traveled far, and now he was running thousands of miles away, and it was strange to miss home. Think about it when I first came to the Ming Dynasty, I was not much better than this Sun Hang.

"It's a good thing to be homesick, it means that you still have sustenance in your heart, and you don't have to worry, it won't be long before we can return to the Ming Dynasty."

Hu Ye patted Sun Hang's shoulder with his greasy right hand and comforted him in a low voice.

"You stinky boy, what do you want to do! Soldiers like us should be at home from all over the world. ”

Zhu Neng walked over with a wine glass, said to Sun Hang with a big grin, and then poured a glass of wine for Sun Hang, and after a glass of wine, Sun Hang's face immediately turned red.

As the saying goes, you can be brave, after drinking, Sun Hang immediately became bold and began to explain to the soldiers around him the glorious achievements of resisting Zhu Di's siege with Lu Xun on the mountains outside Beiping, and he didn't pay attention to Zhu Neng's ugly face next to him, because he was the main attacker.

"Forget it, let him go, a person has to grow up, don't you see that those two people are also active?"

Hu Ye grabbed Zhu Neng and pointed to Liu Guan and Zhao Kuo next to him, these two stammered and autistic before, but now they are much better, seeing that Sun Hang was so open after drinking, so the two of them also drank, and then they stopped stammering, and began to explain all kinds of things in the academy to the soldiers around them, which made the group of soldiers who had not read a book envious.

As if sensing something, Kuramiya Minoru and Ida Erichi nodded to each other, and then began to toast Hu Ye and the others very flatteringly.

The so-called people who don't stretch out their hands and don't hit the smiling face, although they are very dissatisfied with Kuramiya Shiren, but seeing them toasting so respectfully, Zhu Neng can't refuse, and he drinks with his glass, and then Nie Yuan and other soldiers are also very drunk.
