…………

On May 23 of the first year of Huaxia, the Treaty of Commerce between China and Ryukyus was signed.

This treaty was stamped by the Minister of State of the Ryukyus himself, and it was stamped with the seal of the Minister of State.

Jin Cishan originally said that he was sick, but the king of the Ryukyus directly asked him to carry him outside the city, and with the help of Zheng Bin, he used the seal, and then it was settled.

An San looked at the signed treaty, and immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Zheng has worked hard!" ”

Zheng Bin learned to stretch out his right hand, and after shaking hands, he smiled flatteringly and said: "After the general goes back, please say a few kind words for me, Dongqin's business, our Zheng family is very willing to do it!" ”

"Well said! Say! Ansan smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a soldier brought a box.

"Lord Zheng, this is a little heart from the monarch, there will be more contacts in the future, here in the Ryukyus, please take care of Lord Zheng!"

The corners of Zheng Bin's mouth twitched, such a blatant gift, this is the last retreat and don't give it to him.

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, general, I will take care of my life in the future, and beware of another traitorous minister who will endanger the diplomatic relations between the two countries!" ”

An San nodded, and said in a low voice: "The monarch still has additional clauses, which are inconvenient to write into the treaty, and I also ask the Zheng family to make a start and send some young people in the clan to study in Eastern Qin, women are also already!" ”

Zheng Bin was stunned, and immediately understood, This is to ask the Zheng family to send protons to show loyalty!

"The foreign minister obeys!" He didn't think much about it, and if he wanted to hug his thighs, he would hug it thoroughly.

An San was very satisfied, and felt that the monarch was really like a god, and he could actually guess the Zheng family's thoughts.

After staying for another three days, Huaxia Jun received 50,000 taels of silver, and also took the Zheng family and sent five children, three boys and two girls, the eldest was only thirteen years old, and the youngest was only eight years old.

The Huaxia Army, which had received the money, began to withdraw as agreed.

As soon as they withdrew, Ryukyu cavalry rushed to Shuri Castle, and the army of King Qin finally came!

On Kume Island, the 5th Battalion remained on this side.

The battalion commander is a Ming descendant named Long Rukang, and his identity is somewhat special.

Originally, it was a military household of the Daming Aoshan Office, but because he couldn't stand the exploitation of Shangguan, he had to flee.

After becoming a homeless person, he was sent to Eastern Qin by the Song family's ship.

At first, he wanted to divide the fields and houses in Eastern Qin, but when the identity of the military household was discovered, he was imprisoned and interrogated.

When it was certain that there was no problem, he was released.

Later, when the Ming Battalion was formed, he quickly stood out because of his brains and his previous leadership.

In addition, he was literate, so after three months of teaching platoon study, he was promoted to company commander.

Then the fifth battalion was formed, and he stood out in the exams and was promoted to battalion commander in just eight months.

At this moment, Long Rukang was sitting on the edge of the fort, brushing and writing the daily battle report, in addition to explaining the consumption of materials and casualties, there was also a brief description of the various situations encountered today.

As a cultural person, Long Rukang was naturally handy, and he quickly finished writing the report, and after thinking about it, he added another article: spent 1,843 copper coins to buy vegetables, chickens and ducks from the residents of Kume Island!

Originally, the people here were very frightened, but after two days, they were convinced that this army had not committed any crimes.

Long Rukang also started simple mass work in accordance with the political brochure he had studied before.

The first is to do business with the local people at a fair price, buy fresh vegetables, and invite some mothers-in-law to make laundry.

After the sale was completed, some people were hired to help build the fort.

He also asked the soldiers to visit the door and tell these people that if they encounter bullying and oppression by the soldiers of the Huaxia Army, they must inform them that the Huaxia Army will not tolerate anything that harms the interests of the people!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, many residents of Kume Island received the Huaxia Army Discipline Regulations.

After reading it, they were all amazed, even stepping on the crops is a violation of discipline!

What is the Teacher of Righteousness? What is Wang Shi?

After these incidents, the residents of Kume Island greatly reduced their fear of the Huaxia Army, and the little girls and young women also began to return to normal life, although there was still fear, but they only reduced their outings.

This situation is ideal, those who can run have already run, and the rest are poor people who can't run, and these are all objects that the Huaxia Army needs to unite.

"Battalion commander, there seems to be a problem with the firing range of the battery on the left, and the naval brother said that the battery doesn't seem to be able to hit the predetermined area!" A company commander came running to report.

Long Rukang nodded, got up and walked to the fort.

When they passed, they found more than 100 animal soldiers and 50 soldiers, all of whom were confused.

"Stupid! Increase the height, this side can't be calculated according to the original height! Long Rukang understood it at a glance.

The officer in charge of supervising the construction said, "Why! Other forts are all made, how can this not be done? ”

"If you use the flat ground of other forts as a reference, you will naturally make the forts built in the depression shorter!" Long Rukang was speechless.

The officer scratched his head and reacted violently: "Yes! ”

"Go ahead and change it!"

The officer hurriedly smiled and went to change, and Long Rukang turned around and walked back.

After walking a few steps, he noticed a few children on Kume Island, who were looking stupidly at this side not far away.

He beckoned, smiled and asked the children to come over.

As a result, as soon as they waved, all the children immediately ran away, laughing as they ran.

Long Rukang also smiled, he felt that what he was learning now was a thousand times better than that of the Ming Army!

It's not that he hasn't gone to suppress bandits, and every time he goes out, except for killing a few mountain people and robbing some money, the guards have not done any good deeds.

He and his comrades also thought that they were all bitter, why should they do such a thing of lack of morality and smoke for the sake of their superiors.

And the experience of the past few days has made him see that the army of Huaxia is really different, at least they treat soldiers as human beings and poor people as human beings.

This feeling of being seen as a person is very heartwarming, Long Rukang has been in it for a long time, and he is never willing to go back to Mingguo, even if he can be a thousand households when he goes back, he is not willing to go back.

In the dead of night, he also kept thinking about what he had seen and heard in Eastern Qin, and later when he saw the Chinese Constitution, he reacted violently: People, born to be human! It's not someone else's words that can erase the identity of a person, and it's not a household registration that can change the identity of a person. If you are human, you should have the right to be treated as a human being!

"Battalion commander, the Governor's Army is back!"

Just as he sighed, the herald ran over happily.

Long Rukang smiled and said, "It seems that we have achieved a complete victory!" ”
