"Ahh......h

He watched as a group of hungry soldiers rushed into his palace, including the guards in charge of guarding them, who froze in place, making no moves.

The royal palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom was about the same size as the county government of the Ming Dynasty, and a group of about 1,000 soldiers rushed into it, and it didn't take long to search the entire palace inside and out.

The Qianhu He Jie looked at the expression of the Ryukyu King Chadu who wanted to cry without tears, and did not forget to add fuel to the fire: "King Zhongshan can rest assured, even if my Ming soldiers dig three feet into the ground, they can find the hidden widows, and return you to a clean house!" ”

You still dig three feet into the ground, why don't you tear down the king's palace!

"Master Hou!" Chadu swallowed his saliva and prepared to lead the water eastward, "We have three countries on Ryukyu Island, and although Zhongshan is the largest, Shannan and Shanbei also have enough places to hide the Japanese Kou!" ”

The implication is that you should have a bowl of water, and you can't just search my family's palace.

When Wu Zhen heard this, he was overjoyed.

They were still thinking about what reason to use to attack the other two countries, and they themselves started fighting among themselves.

"This news provided by King Zhongshan is very important to Ben Hou!" He nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed his subordinates, "Take two groups of 100 households to Shannan and Shanbei respectively, and say that according to the information provided by the King of Zhongshan, your two countries are suspected of hiding Japanese robbers, and they must be searched by the Ming army!" ”

The message provided by this king? Under the stunned gaze of Chadu, two more groups of hundreds of people ran towards the north and south of Ryukyu Island.

With such a small island, it is easy to walk around in one day.

It didn't take long for the Ming soldiers who rushed into the palace to search out with great interest, and one of the people leading the way in front shouted excitedly: "General Wu, I have found the Japanese Kou, there are several!" ”

The few soldiers of the Ming army who followed up were still carrying two widows who had passed out in their hands, and their breath was weak at this time, as if they had been beaten.

"What's the matter with this widow, it looks like he's dying?" Wu Zhen's face turned dark, and he said with some dissatisfaction.

"General Wu!" One of the hundred households explained, "After the brothers rushed into the palace and searched it, the widows hiding in the shadows could not escape, so they attacked us, and we hurriedly counterattacked, and we attacked us a little harder. ”

"Well, that's the Japanese who deserve it, I don't blame you!"

Wu Zhen spoke, and his gaze turned to Chadu: "Should you give Ben Hou an explanation, why do you want to hide our Ming wanted criminal?" ”

"Master Hou is wronged, how dare Xiao Wang!" Chadu was terrified, wondering when the would-be had sneaked into his palace.

"The human and material evidence is conclusive, take it!" Wu Zhen's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and then he waved his hand.

The two soldiers below understood and struck immediately, and captured Chadu's guards before they could react.

Those guards of the Ryukyu Kingdom looked terrified, and they froze in place in the face of the Great Tomorrow soldiers.

Weak, the guards of this Ryukyu country are too weak, and their strength may not even be as good as the capture speed in Daming County.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the Wakosatsuma clan captured the Ryukyu Imperial Castle without much effort, and captured more than 100 people, including the Ryukyu King Shoning, to Kagoshima.

The Satsuma Domain was only twice the size of the main island of the Ryukyus, so it is conceivable that the Ryukyu were really weak.

The successive Central Plains dynasties really ignored the interests of the sea, so they did not think of annexing the Ryukyus, but only canonized their kings.

Wu Zhen watched his subordinates take Chadu down, but his eyes showed a contemplative look.

Generally speaking, if a new ruler replaces the old ruler in any region, there is a good chance that the previous ruler will be wiped out.

But the Ryukyu royal family is so weak that even if it stays alive, it doesn't seem to pose a threat.

At this time, the three kings of the Ryukyus, because they had not been canonized by Emperor Hongwu, so Wu Zhen did not need to consider the emperor's face no matter how he dealt with it.

"He Qianhu, what do you say the Marquis should do with the royal family of the Ryukyus?" Wu Zhen kicked the ball to his men.

He Jie thought for a while and asked with a serious face: "Master Hou, what is the crime of our Ryukyu king?" ”

"Hide the Wokos!" Wu Zhen instantly understood.

What a felony! Isn't putting him in the face of the court?

Although he also understood that the king of the Ryukyus had been wronged, the military commander who came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood knew very well that since he decided to grab the opponent's territory, he would not tolerate any mercy.

What crime is the most condemning, what crime will be deducted from the other party's head.

When Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Hongwu convicted Chen Youliang, there was still an article of "anti-Yuan", but Lao Zhu himself was not anti-Yuan and anti-Yuan.

Even if the Mongols ran back to the grassland, Lao Zhu was unwilling to let go, and launched thirteen Hongwu Northern Expeditions before and after.

A cold-blooded and mature general can justifiably do some "brazen" things.

"Master Hou......" He Jie continued in a solemn tone, "The crime of hiding the Japanese is convicted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so ......"

"So what?" Wu Zhen asked rhetorically, and there seemed to be a faint guess in his eyes.

He Jie smiled: "If this crime is convicted, it can't be changed, and you can't reduce the punishment to the other party because the other party is wronged." ”

Wu Zhen instantly understood.

Since this crime has been charged, whether it is true or false, the punishment received by the other party is the same.

In the Ming Dynasty, what is the crime of harboring or hiding the Japanese Kou? Yi three clans!

The people of the Ming Dynasty and even the officials are like this, how can you be a barbarian.

This crime is convicted, and it cannot be revoked, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of His Royal Highness the Prince!

Now the noble generals in the court, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too much like His Majesty today, ruthless and decisive, and a person who does great things.

Wu Zhen didn't dare to disobey Zhu Biao's intentions.

"General, we don't have a choice!" He Jie nodded heavily and added.

"Ben Hou understands!" Wu Zhen took a deep breath, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his heartbeat was accelerating.

Three days later, under the watchful eyes of the vast number of Ryukyu people, the three kings of Ryukyu and their royal family members were escorted to the beach by Ming soldiers.

Wu Zhen, Marquis of Jinghai, personally announced the crime of colluding with the three kings of the Ryukyus and hiding the Japanese Kou, and razed the three clans according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the Ryukyu royal family, there were also a number of Japanese pirates who were executed.

On this day, blood stained the waters near the main island of the Ryukyus, and corpses were piled up on the shore.

All the inhabitants of Ryukyu Island also understood that colluding with the Japanese was a serious crime and would attract the wrath of the Great Soldiers.

……

Isn't it a little too ruthless?

In fact, the real war is like this, since the other side wants to occupy the land, things must be done.
