The first to speak was Tang Ping, who was next to Li Shimin, who first praised the martial arts of the fleet officers and soldiers, and then solemnly introduced Li Shimin.

"Today, His Majesty Datang will personally read out the rewards for everyone!"

Many of the soldiers below had never seen the emperor, and they couldn't even tell from a distance that it was a dragon robe.

By the time Tang Ping finished speaking, many people were blinded.

Did you see the emperor?

In the ancient era of the supremacy of monarchy, it was really a great honor to be able to see the emperor, and many people would even record it in the family tree.

At first, I just heard that Ping Guogong said that there would be a reward from the emperor, but I didn't expect that the emperor would really come to reward everyone.

Li Shimin is naturally familiar with the matter of rewarding the three armies, and he knows that for this kind of low-level soldiers, don't fix those vain.

They didn't understand what Wen Crepe said, so they started to give out rewards directly.

Reward the whole army, each with an additional salary for one year!

The soldiers who died this time were doubled their pensions and posthumously awarded the title of martyrs, and their descendants were trained by the Tang Dynasty government, and they had certain preferential treatment when they became adults, whether they were admitted to school or joined the army.

???????????????? Then those who have military merits will be rewarded by fifty percent according to the original Tang Ping's plan!

Among them, there are outstanding meritorious ones, and they were invited to the Taihao ship alone, and Li Shimin personally awarded the medal.

As commanders, Qian Laosan and Luo Siye also realized their wish - knighted!

Qian Laosan was named the son of Donghai County, and Luo Siye was named the son of Nanhai County, and the food and yi were all in their ancestral hometown, which can be regarded as the glory of the ancestors.

After the war, Tang Ping said that although the two failed to expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty this time, they also contributed a lot, and the imperial court estimated that they would give the two knights.

The two thought that it would be good to have a baron, but they didn't expect that this time they would directly make a viscount, and they were overjoyed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two knelt down on one knee in front of Li Shimin at the same time: "The last general will definitely die for His Majesty's liver and brain!" ”

"Okay, get up, when you return to Datang, when the time comes, a clerical robe and clothes will be sent to the two of you, and if you want to thank Xie Pingguogong, it is the two of you who he recommended him."

"Xie Ping Guogong!"

"You're welcome, this battle in the South China Sea is the biggest credit for the two of you, and I'm afraid that the East China Sea Fleet will still be handed over to the two in the future, I hope the two generals will work together to make the name of the Tang Dynasty subdued the four seas!"

"Yes, the East China Sea Fleet will definitely make the name of the Tang Dynasty dominant!"

The two of them shouted loudly, and then the officers and men who had been awarded the Taihao ship for their military merits also shouted, and then the entire dock of the Eastern Navy began to shout.

The military spirit is soaring into the sky!

"Gunshot!" Tang Ping ordered at the right time, and several other gunboats had already been prepared, firing a salvo of artillery on the other side of the sea, and the sound of thunder was endless.

There are also many overseas businessmen from other countries in Tamsui Port, and they all tremble a little when they see such a scene.

On the other hand, the businessmen from the Tang Dynasty are all straight-backed, and they look honored.

Waiting for the sound of the cannon to subside, Li Shimin stood on the high platform and said loudly: "Last night, many people were afraid that they didn't eat and drink well, but it doesn't matter, here today, there is enough wine and meat!" Open! ”

The lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom was ready early, and as soon as he heard Li Shimin's words, he waved his hand, and countless carts pushed up.

It's all freshly grilled meats, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Of course, there is also a jar of fine wine.

There are definitely no tables and chairs for so many soldiers, but the people who are soldiers are not so particular.

Many people haven't eaten fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat for a long time, and they will nibble on them when they pick them up.

Some soldiers who love wine even asked directly, knowing that the wine pipe was enough, as long as they didn't drink themselves to death, they just hugged the wine jar and began to pour it violently.

Most of these drinks are rice wine and fruit wine produced in the Ryukyus, and the alcohol content is not high, so it is more likely to be strangled to death than drinking alcohol.

Today, it is naturally impossible for Li Shimin to go down and drink and eat meat with other soldiers, after all, there is still the head of the Ryukyu Kingdom to meet.

Although the Ryukyu Kingdom is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but in this Nanyang War, people also made great efforts, and Li Shimin of course had to give a few sweet dates.

So a simple banquet was prepared directly on the deck of the Taihao ship.

"Thank you for your help this time!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, the Ryukyu Kingdom benefited from the vigorous assistance of the Pingguo Gong, and there was nothing to repay, and in this battle, the Ryukyu Kingdom did not send a single soldier, but did some logistics and grass things,???????????????? I don't dare to praise Your Majesty like this. ”

"Hahaha, Lord Shang doesn't need to be so humble, we and the soldiers know that the chariot and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. The Ryukyus can single-handedly take on the supply of the entire East China Sea Fleet, and I know your hard work. Li Shimin laughed and said: "After returning to Chang'an, I will send someone to prepare a big gift, and if the lord of the country needs anything, he can also put it forward." ”

Shang Sixian hesitated after hearing this, walked out of his position and knelt in front of him and said, "The minister does have a reluctant request. ”

Generally speaking, if someone gives you a reluctant request, then this request is most likely not easy to meet.

However, Li Shimin was in a good mood today, and the Ryukyus did cooperate well this time, so he still smiled and said, "Let's talk about it first." ”

"Yes!" Shang Sixian clenched his fists, and then said solemnly: "Since Emperor Wu Taizu Zhongmou sent Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to discover Ryukyu, after the ancestors of our clan went to sea to avoid disasters when the Five Hu Chaos were in China, and founded the country in Ryukyu. ”

"But my Shang family has always wanted to return to the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, and the cash Tang Dynasty has conquered the world, the eight directions have come to the dynasty, and the national strength is unprecedented."

"So Shang Sixian wants to return Ryukyu to his homeland!"

Tang Ping didn't expect Shang Sixian to make this move: "The lord of the country wants to ......"

"That's right, the successive lords of my Ryukyu Kingdom hope to return to the Central Plains, and Shang Sixian, the thirty-second generation lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom, officially asks His Majesty the Tang Dynasty to return to Ryukyu."

Shang Sixian did this, of course, there was a reason for him, but Tang Ping felt that the bigger reason was that the Tang Dynasty was strong now, otherwise Shang Sixian had also been to Chang'an to pay tribute before, why didn't he mention it?

Either way, it's a good thing.

Li Shimin is also a dragon face Dayue, after all, there is still some gap between the vassal countries and Datang's own territory.

To put it bluntly, although the subject country of the Tang Dynasty can garrison troops in it and can also have an impact on its politics and economy, it still has a great right of autonomy after all.

It's like although the Turks are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, if the Turkic Khan wants to let the domestic herdsmen raise less sheep and more cattle, it is difficult for the Tang Dynasty to interfere.

As for their own territory, as long as the local leaders do not disobey the yang and the yin, they will naturally do it properly.

"Okay, I'm done!" This is the best news Li Shimin heard today, which emperor is not eager to expand his territory, originally attacked Nanyang this time, Li Shimin also thought about whether he could turn the territory of Great Wei into an enclave of the Tang Dynasty.

I didn't expect to be left behind by Sri Buddha to pick up this big bargain.

But who knew that the lost eastern corner of the harvest of mulberry elm, held a celebration banquet in the Ryukyus, and the Ryukyus actually took the initiative to ask to be incorporated into the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Ping probably introduced him to this place when he docked, although it is sparsely populated now, but the territory is not small.

What's more, the island is stuck at the choke point between Datang and Nanyang.

Now that the Ryukyus belong to the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty can send a fleet to stay here in the future, and the climate on this island is suitable for growing a variety of crops, and it can also provide a lot of materials for the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, since the Ryukyu Kingdom no longer exists, please give this island a name."

Shang Sixian took the initiative to say, after all, if this place is still called Ryukyu, it is impossible to say that some people will take the opportunity to cause trouble, but change the name, and in a few decades, I am afraid that Ryukyu will be slowly forgotten.

"The name ......" Li Shimin pondered for a while, and heard Tang Ping blurt out:

"It's called Taiwan???????????????? Bay bar, treasure island Taiwan! ”

"Taiwan?" Li Shimin was stunned: "What's the point of this name?" ”

How does Tang Ping know what to pay attention to? In fact, he himself doesn't know why this place is called Taiwan, but he just blurted it out.

"I didn't ...... I don't pay much attention to it, I just think it's a nice name. ”

Although Tang Ping can't say why, but Li Shimin spoils him a lot, Tang Ping said that it is called Taiwan, then it is called Taiwan, anyway, think about it, the name of the treasure island Taiwan is not bad.

So he nodded and said: "Since Pingguo Gong spoke, let's call it Treasure Island Taiwan!" ”

Of course, it is impossible for Li Shimin to do the matter of unloading and killing donkeys, and Shang Sixian is knowledgeable and knowledgeable to give up the Ryukyus, so he naturally has to express it.

"Feng Shang Sixian is the Duke of Yiguo, hereditary replacement!"

Yi is because it was called Yizhou at the beginning of the Three Kingdoms period, but it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Li Shimin's title of Yiguo Gong is hereditary!

In the Tang Dynasty, the inheritance of the title was basically downgraded by one level every generation, Lao Tzu was the prince of the country, the son could only be the marquis, and the grandson was the uncle.

And hereditary replacement means that Lao Tzu's title can be passed on to his son without demotion.

There are not many Guogong who can get hereditary replacement, Li Shimin is also setting a model, after all, people have handed over the country, and Datang has also made a statement, your family will be the Guogong of Datang for future generations, and give an example to other countries.

In the future, there are still countries that want to be incorporated into Datang, see how Shang Sixian mixes in Datang, and you can also have a reference.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shang Sixian is not dissatisfied, he has worked hard to govern this Ryukyu, and he is not very good.

Didn't you see that Dong Ye, a servant of Barabu, could be powerful in Tamsui Port, but the Ryukyu Kingdom didn't dare to put a fart?

How good is it to hand over such a country to Datang, and take the whole family to Datang to be a rich prince and enjoy happiness?

Li Shimin didn't say who the prefect of Taiwan would be in the future, and Shang Sixian didn't care, even if Li Shimin wanted to let himself sit in this position, he would definitely not take it.

Tang Ping watched the two of them raise their glasses and drink together, and they were also full of emotion, they all said that this is an inseparable part, but I didn't expect to see it in Datang today to complete the unification.
