Chapter 16: Kidnapping the King of Zhongshan and taking the Three Kingdoms lightly
As soon as I arrived, I saw the host, and Zhu Sang was also a little surprised. "He's the King of Zhongshan?"
"Haha, it's delivered to the door!" Niu Dangle on the side laughed.
"There's no need to attack the city now."
[The host lands in the subject state of the Ming Dynasty, and can choose: one press without moving, and gain the respect and friendship of the Zhongshan Kingdom.] ]
[2: Immediately declare war, gain the hatred of the whole country of Zhongshan, and reward 2,000 fishermen and 1,000 mountain people.] ]
[3: Treacherous and immediately kidnapped the king of Zhongshan and forced him to surrender to the Zhongshan Kingdom, obtained the hatred and assassination of 100,000 islanders in Xiaoliuqiu, and compensated and rewarded 5,000 fishermen and 3,000 mountain people. ]
"Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch! System option three! Even if he would be hated or assassinated by most of the islanders, Zhu Sang did not hesitate.
As soon as he saw the royal robe on Zhu Sang's body, the expression of the King of Zhongshan no longer dared to be indifferent.
"Tie them all up, and use the King of Zhongshan to force the Zhongshan Kingdom to surrender." Without waiting for the King of Zhongshan to ask, Zhu Sang immediately ordered.
"Take them down." He Shan immediately shouted with laughter.
"Slow! You dare! King Zhongshan exclaimed.
The civil official on the side also asked urgently. "Dare to ask why the kingdom is like this?"
However, Zhu Sang didn't have time to pay attention to him, he didn't need to do anything about this little thing, and with 5,000 cavalry, it was enough to occupy Xiaoliuqiu Island.
"The system awakens 8,000 islanders, so that all the islanders cooperate with the cavalry to occupy the whole island."
[Honoring the host, more than 40,000 islanders began to turn their hearts to the Heavenly King.] ]
"By the way, wake up a hundred more Xiucai and ten people to manage Xiaoliuqiu."
[The host, there are not enough scribes in Xiaoliuqiu, only fifty Xiucai and six Juren.] ]
"What a shortcoming! Forget it, fifty-six is enough! ”
[Honorable Order!] ]
"Meet the King of Heaven for thousands of years." Suddenly, the civil official, who was still resentful, immediately knelt down and shouted.
Seeing such a shameless henchman, King Zhongshan wanted to vomit blood angrily! "You! Yang Haishan, you traitor? ”
"Haha, I just want to surrender now!" A hundred households laughed.
"Let him go, the scribes and civil officials on the island are all their own people!" Zhu Sang came over and said.
"What! He's too! He Shan was taken aback and didn't ask any more.
"Impossible! How can it be! But the king of Zhongshan did not believe it.
Yang Haishan immediately offered advice. "The Heavenly King's ministers can help the army open the gates of the city."
"Good! In the future, Lord Yang will be the head of the government of Xiaoliuqiu, and He Shan, you will cooperate with Lord Yang to occupy the Three Kingdoms and eliminate the enemies of resistance. Zhu Sang ordered to pour again.
"It's the Heavenly King!" He Shan smiled bitterly and nodded! This traitor became the head of the government as soon as he joined, which made him a little unhappy!
"Thank you, Heavenly King." Yang Haishan was also very excited.
"You! Who are you? King Zhongshan almost fainted in anger, and what made him even more suspicious was the name of the Heavenly King.
"The old thing is still asking, hurry up." He Shan immediately shouted angrily.
The Three Kingdoms of Xiaoliuqiu, with more than 100,000 people, and only tens of thousands of soldiers, can barely resist the pirates with 20,000 or 30,000 young people, but in the face of thousands of iron horses, the armor soldiers of the Three Kingdoms do not even dare to fight directly.
With the help of many civilian traitors and the support of more than 40,000 islanders, the Three Kingdoms of Xiaoliuqiu were completely destroyed in just three days.
Xiaoliuqiu Island has also officially become the first territory of the Zhusang Heavenly King, even if there are nearly 60,000 islanders who still hate the Heavenly King, but they are scattered everywhere and cannot make trouble without an organization.
With the addition of a few thousand captives, there are more than 40,000 people, and the number of islanders who are compensated with 40,000 is enough to be more than 80,000, that is, most of the people on the island are now loyal to the Heavenly King.
The former royal city of Zhongshan Kingdom is called Hucheng, in fact, it is the smallest county town, and the palace of King Zhongshan is just an ordinary mansion.
Although it is simple, it is also the best place to live on the island, and now it is also the palace of the heavenly king of Zhu Sang.
Another day later, Zhu Sang ordered all the civil and military forces to gather and report.
Now he has more than 100,000 people and more than 30,000 soldiers, but there are only five 1,000 generals who can be used under his command, and there are only four civil officials who are strategists.
"Let's get started." Zhu Sang nodded and let everyone start to report.
He Shan reported first. "The three thousand island guards of the Heavenly King have been reorganized, and after training, they can be stationed in the three counties."
The former Three Kingdoms were also divided into three counties by Zhu Sang, and now three of the four strategists present are county orders.
"Nice!" Zhu Sang praised with a smile.
After He Shan finished speaking, Yang Haishan, the political chief, also immediately reported. "The king of heaven has now completely stabilized Xiaoliuqiu Island, and there are more than 150,000 soldiers and civilians on the island today. The gold and silver treasures were worth more than 2 million taels, but the food was only enough for the soldiers and craftsmen for three or four months, and the fish harvest on the whole island could only support 15,000 soldiers at most. ”
Fortunately, the fleet brought tens of thousands of people with more than a month's worth of grain and grass, otherwise the three small kingdoms would not have so much food.
Niu Dang, who had nothing else to do, couldn't help but speak. "That's a big problem! It's hard to keep fishing! ”
Ryukyu is surrounded by seas, and he is also worried that these sailors will become fishermen in the future, not to mention that they often eat fish, and normal people can't stand it!
"There is a lot of silver taels for the time being, and you may be able to buy grain from Goryeo Dongying, but this is not a long-term strategy!" Yang Zhengshou said again.
Seeing that the king of heaven did not speak, He Shan also said. "Xiaoliuqiu is stable, isn't it time for the Heavenly King and our army to be dispatched?"
"Yes, the sailor doesn't want to be idle now!" Niu Dang also said urgently.
Zhu Sang, who had thought about it, immediately nodded. "It will take at least two months for Lao Zhu to find out about our army and assemble troops, and this time is just the time to eliminate all the pirates in the north and south of the Ryukyus, and presumably they can also collect a lot of gold, silver and grain for the winter."
Frowning, Yang Haishan said. "If the Heavenly King recovers the North and South Islands for cultivation and fishing, it should be enough to support an army of 30,000 people, but behind the Japanese Kou is the support of the Shimazu Daimyo of Dongying!"
The Shimazu family, even if it was a daimyo in Kagoshima, was later known as the Satsuma Domain, and later it always controlled Koryukyu.
glanced at Zhu Sang, Niu Dang also said. "Will the King of Heaven exterminate the pirates and block the Ming army's sailors, and then exterminate the pirates in the Northern Islands."
Niu Dang didn't want to be idle, but he didn't want to provoke Dongying anymore.
"General Niu is right!" He Shan also nodded in agreement.
The four strategists didn't speak, but they all agreed with Niu Dang's proposal.
After thinking about it, Zhu Sang still insisted on his own ideas. "Don't bother with the Daming Water Master, the Japanese must be exterminated! If you go to sea alone, you won't let Dongying go. ”
"It's the King of Heaven, I'll wait for the order." As soon as Zhu Sang made a good decision, Zhongwen and Wu no longer hesitated.
Yang Zhengshou continued. "Heavenly King, there are also 4,000 pirates in the south, and although there are only 3,000 pirates in the south, they are an alliance, and there are many old and weak women and children on its island."
Zhu Sang was also surprised! "There are nearly 10,000 people in total, so let's exterminate the southern pirates first."

"The five thousand cavalry of the Heavenly King are also idle." He Shan said unwillingly.
Niu Dang hurriedly refused. "Heavenly King, although there are four thousand pirates in the south, there are several of them, and there is no need for cavalry at all."
"The cavalry will stay on defense!"
As soon as Zhu Sang spoke, He Shan, who wanted to refute, could only nod and remain silent.
"Respect the Heavenly King, within ten days, the end will definitely bring back all the pirates." Niu Dang smiled and assured, the main thing is that it will take a long time to go back and forth.
Now there are Ryukyu fishermen leading the way, and they are not afraid that they will not find pirates, let alone hide them.
"Good! Then bring all the sailors! "Zhu Sang also believes in the strength of the Daming Water Master.
But Niu Dang was worried. "Heavenly King, let's leave two thousand people to watch the three thousand captives!"
Yang Zhengshou also said. "The Heavenly King still has to guard against the Japanese Invaders!"
When it came to the three thousand sailors of the Zhenjiang Water Camp, Zhu Sang almost forgot about them.
"These captives should also be dealt with, so I'll go and see them first."
