The conditions offered by the Ming court to the Ryukyu Kingdom seem to be full of compromise and compromise.

The vested interests of the Ryukyu State, that is, the groups that actually controlled the power and wealth of the Ryukyu Kingdom, were arranged as appropriately as possible.

For the people of mixed Ming descent and natives who existed in large numbers in the Ryukyu Kingdom, the actual life was not directly affected.

However, this seemingly superficial reform has actually touched on the essence - immigrants from the colonies will receive imperial citizenship.

Historically, if Britain had been willing to implement similar reforms in the North American colonies, the American Revolutionary War would probably not have broken out, or would not have become as complete as independence.

Giving citizenship to colonial immigrants and thus eliminating the independence tendencies of the vassal colonies was one of the two most immediate and crucial purposes of this reform.

Another key is to reassure workers and displaced people.

Both the old gentlemen of the court and the emperor were able to grasp the real key.

In the case of achieving the key goals, other interests are not touched as much as possible, so that the reform can be carried out as smoothly as possible.

Because the war is not over yet.

If the deepest reforms were to be initiated directly, such as outright and outright vassalage and abolition reforms, it would most likely hasten the collapse of the empire.

At the time of the discussion of the withdrawal of the Ryukyus feudal domain, official information related to the withdrawal of the feudal domain had already reached other feudal states.

According to the practice of the Ming court, every day when the imperial court released the government, the general administration department would notify the local political envoys and vassal states of the major events that needed to be made public that day by telegram.

It is equivalent to a newspaper sent by telegram.

As for which major events need to be made public, the General Administration Department will contact the emperor at any time to confirm.

On January 7, the main things disclosed by the General Administration Department were the withdrawal of the Xihai Domain, the establishment of the Great Food, and the relaxation of the ban on the six industries.

Therefore, although the other vassal states did not directly receive the notice of withdrawal of the feudal domain as in the Ryukyus, they also knew that the withdrawal of the feudal domain had been decided.

In addition, the nobles and elites of the feudal kingdom had more or less personal ties with local officials.

Most of them were able to get a few uncertain pieces of information that the Ryukyus might be about to withdraw their feudal domains, and that the details were probably being worked out.

As a result, the high-level feudal states around the Ming Dynasty, in the south, and in the west, immediately entered a state of sleepless night.

People from various interest groups quickly contacted each other and gathered separately for meetings as quickly as possible to discuss and speculate on future possibilities.

The vassal kings of Yinzhou also got up in the middle of the night and convened vassal officials, nobles, and capital elites to hold a meeting to discuss these real events.

For the vassal state, the matter of fighting with Taixi is not as big as the matter of the Ming Dynasty's withdrawal of the domain.

Of all the feudal states, the most tense were the vassal states of the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, as they were the closest to the mainland and had the closest relations.

In today's Ming Dynasty, there are no two vassal states, the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Islands, which have become place names.

The border between the Korean Peninsula and the Ming mainland is no longer the Yalu River on the mainland, but thirty kilometers north of Pyongyang, which is basically the narrowest part of the Korean Peninsula.

From then on, the Korean Peninsula to the south was divided horizontally from the middle position, forming the two feudal states of Goryeo and Silla.

As for the Japanese archipelago, it was divided into four feudal kingdoms, from northeast to southwest, Edo, Nara, and Toyohara.

The area of the six feudal states is roughly the same, ranging from 80,000 to 90,000 square kilometers, which is slightly smaller than a political envoy in the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, the territory of Toyohara Province is roughly the three parts of Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island, and Chugoku Province in later Japan.

The name of Kyushu Island is due to the fact that there were originally nine reido countries on the island, so it is called Kyushu Island by Japan, and Shikoku Island is similar.

Emperor Shizu Zhu Cihong believed that those so-called Lingguo countries were not worthy of being called countries at all, and these two islands were not worthy of being called Kyushu and Shiguo.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong changed Kyushu Island to Jiucheng Island, and the adjacent Shiguo Island was also changed to Siyi Island, which means city and county.

As for the so-called "Chinese place", the source of the name is the mythical "Fengwei Yuan China", and it is also known as the "Fengwei Yuan Thousand Five Hundred Autumn Ruisui Country".

Among these words, Zhu Cihong chose the two characters Ruisui as the name of the region, and the two characters Fengyuan as the new country name.

Fengyuan is the transit place of trade between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, and it is also the only place for the Ming Dynasty to go to North Yinzhou, so it has been taken care of by the Ming emperors of the past dynasties.

The local native males were continuously recruited as servant soldiers and sent to Yinzhou, Nanyang, Dashi, and Mozhou to expand their territory.

Local native women, selected with good shapes and postures, were sent to the Ming Dynasty to become the maids of the palace, nobles, and business elites.

Relatively ordinary, they were sold to Yinzhou or Nanyang to be wives for early Ming bachelor immigrants, or simply to engage in much-needed service industries.

At the same time, they continued to migrate the local people of the Ming Dynasty to live in the Japanese archipelago, including Toyohara.

After more than 100 years of continuous replacement, there are basically no natives in the scope of today's Fengyuan country.

Even if you check the household register, you can only find the sons born to the Ming men and women as concubines, and you can't find the real pure-blooded natives.

If you occasionally find purebred Japanese natives, they are basically slaves sold from other regions.

The first king of Fengyuan Kingdom was Zhu Cijiong's brother-in-law Zhu Cijiong, that is, the third prince of Zhu in the original history.

Up to now, the king of Fengyuan has been passed down to the fifth generation, and the current king's name is Zhu Zhongdong, who is the sixth brother of Zhu Zhongliang, the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhongdong is 55 years old this year, and his physical condition is quite healthy, and most of the time he will not stay in Kumamoto Castle, the capital of Reedyuan Province, but will stay in Nagasaki Port for a long time.

Because the port of Nagasaki is the most prosperous place in Toyohara Province and the most well-informed place in the four feudal districts of Japan, this is very important in the current situation.

On the night of the 7th day of the first month of the 34th year of Taimeitai, the Toyohara Imperial Palace in the port castle of Nagasaki was as brightly lit as the Ryukyu Kingdom and other feudal states.

The Toyohara Prefecture Left and Right Nagashi, the Chief and Deputy Judges, the Nagasaki Prefectural Commander, and the Commander of the Domain's Guard, Kumamoto Ei, the powerful military and political ministers of these feudal kingdoms, gathered in the hall of the manor.

With excitement and apprehension, they looked at King Toyohara with complicated expressions.

Fengyuan King Zhu Zhongdong's face was not very good, he held a few telegrams in his hand and read them several times, and then looked up with a straight face and asked:

"Zhu Qing thinks that the determination of the imperial court to withdraw the feudal domain can be specific?"

Several ministers glanced at each other, and finally it was Zuo Changshi Li Hongbin, who had the highest status, and said:

"Your Majesty, the ministers thought that the West Sea and the Great Food were not enough to rely on, and the determination of the court still depended on the Ryukyus.

"The minister has arranged manpower to directly contact the Ryukyu royal palace, and there should be news soon."

King Toyohara simply closed his eyes when he heard this, tapped his fingers on the table next to him, and just sat waiting for news, and several courtiers also stood anxiously waiting.

This oppressive atmosphere did not last long, and half an hour later, a servant walked briskly into the lobby and handed over three telegrams to Zuo Changshi Li Hongbin.

Li Hongbin quickly read it, and then with great excitement, handed it to King Fengyuan above:

"Your Majesty, the court has made up its mind, and Fengyuan should prepare as soon as possible."

Zhu Zhongdong looked at the contents of the telegram, and the whole person fell into a deep confusion.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhu Zhongdong handed the telegram to the other ministers to circulate after reading it, and all of these ministers instantly widened their eyes.

Then they couldn't hold back their excitement, and they chattered out loud with some gaffes:

"The king of the Ryukyus can directly be a political envoy, so is our king qualified to be the governor of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Dongfan Island and Ryukyu can actually set up one political envoy and four mansions, then Fengyuan Kingdom, which is twice as wide as Dongfan Ryukyu, can not set up two political envoys and more than ten mansions?"

"All the secretaries on the scene can be political envoys, political envoys, and commanders, and the county commander has the opportunity to be the prefect."

"To become an official of the Ming Dynasty, you can even be directly promoted, Your Majesty is really too merciful......"
