Kume Island in the Ryukyus, where the sugar trade flourished, made it a prosperous area.

In addition to the barracks, many buildings and warehouses have been built on the island, and the port has been renovated many times, and there are ships coming and going everywhere.

At the beginning of the war between Eastern Qin and the Ming Dynasty, the king of the Ryukyus, Shang Zhen, was still thinking about whether he could resist.

He secretly prepared his men and horses, and waited for the defeat of the Eastern Qin, and then fought hard to recapture Kume Island, expel the Tun people, and then take the sugar factory for himself.

It's just that he just made a move, and the Zheng family, the biggest beneficiary of the sugar trade, made a small report to the Kume Island garrison.

Long Rukang, the commander-in-chief of the Ryukyu garrison, was shocked when he learned the news, and chose to send someone to assassinate Shang Zhen's second son, Shang Chaorong, during the Ryukyu royal sacrifice.

This move shocked the Ryukyu royal family, and the Manchu civil and military forces also fell into extreme fear, even if they knew that it was the Huang people who did it, they did not dare to say a word more.

I was afraid that the people would lose face in Daming and would turn around and come to Ryukyu for trouble. They had to pray secretly, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would sweep away the Turkyus and take the opportunity to help the Ryukyus and expel all the Turbidians in the territory.

Then, the news of the defeat of the Ming Dynasty came, and Shang Zhen was so frightened that he fainted directly.

He repeatedly wrote to the court, asking to become a vassal of the Eastern Qin, and constantly sang the praises of virtue, and sent a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, which was used to bribe Long Rukang and the director of the Ryukyu branch of the Huaxia Sugar Company.

However, there was no news, which plunged the entire Ryukyu royal family into deep despair.

When five battalions of soldiers landed on Kume Island, the Eastern Qin fleet began blockading the few ports in the Ryukyus.

The Ryukyus are bound to perish, and if the East Asian Tsu Liang is not held in his hands, there will be a huge gap in sea power.

……

Shuri Castle, Shang Zhen summoned Zheng Bin overnight.

Since the efficiency of the Ryukyu Sugar Factory became better and better, the Zheng family was the ironclad Eastern Qin faction, and completely became the pawn of the Eastern Qin in the Ryukyus.

With this change of attitude, the Zheng family secretly did not take the Ryukyu royal family seriously at all, and they had family children studying in Eastern Qin, so they naturally knew more about the strength of Eastern Qin.

At the beginning of the war between Eastern Qin and the Ming Dynasty, the Zheng family judged that it would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to completely defeat the Eastern Qin. So they directly sided with Dongqin before the war, and even deliberately watched the Ryukyu royal family secretly plot.

After the news of the defeat of the Ming Dynasty came, the Zheng family fell into extreme ecstasy, and the head of the family, Zheng Yuanyi, was even more arrogant, and actually let the children of the family change into the short clothes of the black people.

At this moment, Zheng Bin entered the palace and wore a black tunic with a traditional bun, which looked a little nondescript.

He had lazily seen the Queen of the Ryukyus, and he just looked straight at him.

Shang Zhen was angry, but he couldn't attack, so he only said: "Zheng Qing, Dongqin suddenly blocked various ports, but ...... So what's going on? ”

"Not only did they blockade the port, but they also transferred 3,000 elite soldiers, and it is said that these soldiers have just finished fighting the Ming Dynasty!"

"Ahh Shang Zhen was taken aback, "That...... So how is this good? ”

"Wechen doesn't know!" Zheng Bin's attitude is very arrogant, in his eyes, the Ryukyu royal family has betrayed his relatives.

At present, most of the Chinese martial arts of the DPRK have come to contact the Zheng family, and they have expressed their willingness to vote for Qin, and the entire Ryukyu royal family has no chips to trade.

"Zheng Qing!" Shang Zhen asked: "Can you go and negotiate with the garrison of Kume Island, and say that I, Ryukyu, am willing to go to the country and be the territory of Eastern Qin forever!" ”

Zheng Bin smiled and sighed: "Your Majesty, there is only one thing that Weichen can protect, that is, as long as Ryukyu surrenders, the royal family can keep its wealth!" ”

Shang Zhen's raised hand fell weakly and smashed on the throne, he looked at Zheng Bin, with hatred and resentment in his heart, but at the moment he was more helpless.

The Eastern Qin soldiers were strong and strong, and even the Ming Dynasty couldn't do anything about it, how could Ryukyu be able to compete.

"As long as you surrender, you can save the life and wealth of the royal family?"

"Uh-huh!" Zheng Bin sighed and said: "Camp Chief Long told me personally, but the rest of the wealthy clans will inevitably be raided!" This is also the last thing Weichen can do for His Majesty, and it can be regarded as repaying the royal family for the Zheng family's kindness for hundreds of years. ”

Shang Zhen also sighed and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the truth of Confucian scriptures and teachings cannot withstand the intersection of interests after all. ”

After a pause, he said, "The Ryukyu royal family is willing to surrender!" I just want the king of the Eastern Qin Kingdom to be gracious, so that he can save his life and become a rich man! ”

Zheng Bin was overjoyed and persuaded the royal family to surrender, but it was another letter of nomination!

He hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the people of Eastern Qin have made the heaviest promise, and they will never go back on their word." ”

Shang Zhen nodded, and a line of tears slowly flowed, but his heart was full of relief.

…………

Two days later, Shang Zhen led the Ryukyu officials and knelt down to welcome the Eastern Qin army into the city.

Zhang Sanfeng, as the chief envoy of the surrender, accepted the surrender table of the Ryukyus and personally helped Shang Zhen up.

Then a group of soldiers of the Huaxia Army marched into Shuri Castle with passionate steps and cheerful military music.

The people of Ryukyu along the way knelt on the ground one after another, not even daring to raise their heads, and at this moment, the lives of the people in the whole city were in the thought of these Eastern Qin people.

Shang Zhen looked at this situation, but he couldn't support it, and knelt down with a snap, and even cried bitterly.

The foundation laid by the ancestors will die in their own hands if they don't think about it, and the taste of the king of the dead country is not pleasant.

The concubines, princes and princesses on the side also cried and cried.

The accompanying ministers wept even more tears one by one, crying for the rivers and mountains of Ryukyu, and suffering for their own miserable circumstances.

Zhang Sanfeng's heart was happy, he walked among these people with leather shoes, and said with a tolerant smile: "Don't be too sad, my lord is known for his benevolence and righteousness, and he will definitely be good to the people of Ryukyu, and over time, the people of Ryukyu will be able to live better!" ”

After speaking, he asked people to send more than 400 members of the Ryukyu royal family to Kumejima for entertainment.

After the troops took over the city defense, Zhang Sanfeng led people straight to the Ryukyu Palace and sealed the treasury, inner library, and library.

At the same time, the army was dispatched, and under the leadership of the Zheng family's dogs, a family of wealthy families surrounded the past, and when an order was given, Shuri Castle was full of cries and fights.

Except for the Zheng family, the Mao family, and the Zhang family, none of the major clans in the Ryukyus were spared, and all their homes were raided, and all their relatives were beaten into war criminals.

Zhang Sanfeng personally sat in charge, and if someone resisted, he used thunder to suppress him.

After the wealthy family was ambushed and more than 100 people were "hung on the swing", he issued a "Ryukyu City Purchase Book" on behalf of the monarch of Huaxia.

According to the requirements of this monarchical document, Ryukyu will become a municipality directly under the central government of Huaxia, which is divided into Shanbei County, Shannan County, Zhongshan County, Wumu County, and Maolin County.

At the same time, the Yaeyama Islands were placed under the jurisdiction of Yilan City, Dongqin Province. It is equivalent to dividing part of the Miyako Strait in later generations to Eastern Qin, ensuring that the strait is not owned by a single city.

The second is that the people of the Ryukyus should be registered in a register, and the big landowners in various places must give up their land and distribute it to the landless people of the Ryukyus. As long as the people of the Ryukyus have shaved their hair, they can share the land.

This article is equivalent to buying people's hearts and minds, and indirectly hits the large landlords in the Ryukyus, so that their influence is minimized. Then use the means of shaving hair to win the hearts of the small people of Ryukyu.

Finally, it was announced that all the people of the Ryukyus were a Chinese clan and enjoyed the powers granted by the Chinese Constitution.

This is to completely treat Ryukyu as a local construction, whether it is in education or system construction, it will be the same as the Eastern Qin.

The Zheng family read the terms, and they sighed at first, they didn't think that after the Eastern Qin people took the Ryukyus, they didn't need the previous officials, let alone the previous system, and directly restructured the system according to the method of the Eastern Qin.

But they didn't hesitate much, and the next day they shaved their hair on the street, and even the female relatives of the family brought nondescript Dongqin costumes to wear, and they did their best to flatter.

Seeing this, ordinary people also shaved their hair one after another, they knew the prosperity of the Eastern Qin soldiers, and they knew that the Qin people did what they said and had always been honest, since the Zheng family had taken the lead, it was natural to quickly shave their hair to get the benefits.
