Outside Shuri Castle, Yang Chengying leisurely draws the future.

Inside the castle, the Satsuma clan was worried.

The general is called Hisashi Hisaka, and the Shimazu family is old.

When there are no heroes, make the shaft famous.

This sentence vividly illustrates the high gold content of Huashan.

He was born at a time when the Shimazu family was in full swing in Kyushu.

Outstanding figures such as Yoshihiro Shimazu, Tokihisa Shimazu, and Iehisa Shimazu have emerged.

However, in just one generation, the Shimazu family went into decline.

Nominally, it is still a powerful feudal domain in the southwest.

In fact, the talent is withered.

Birch Mountain Hisataka has a chance to get ahead.

In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, he led an army to attack Ryukyu, and after a catastrophe for seven days, he forcibly cut off the five islands of Amami.

Hearing that Yang Chengying was visiting the Ryukyu Kingdom, he confidently took three thousand ashigaru and ran to defend.

was beaten to the ground.

Hearing that the monk of the Tsushima Domain, Guibo Genkata, was coming, and Hisaka asked the maid to groom and dress him.

He pretended to be casual and met with Uncle Gui.

"You are from Tsushima Domain, why do you want to act as an envoy for the Ming army!"

Birshan, said dissatisfied.

Gui Bo Xuanfang said with a smile: "I have a good relationship with the commander of the Ming army, I just passed on a word on his behalf." ”

"You want me to surrender? Hum! What if I don't surrender? ”

"If you don't surrender, you won't have a chance to surrender."

"What a big breath."

Hisataka Kayama twisted his head to the side, puffing out.

At this time, the envoy came to report, "General, the enemy has built a hill of earth outside the city and planted cannons. ”

Stand down.

Huashan Jiugao frowned, and said in his heart: "The Ming army is planning to bombard Shuri City. ”

Gui Bo Xuanfang took the opportunity to persuade and said: "General, there is a saying in the Ming Kingdom - those who know the times are Junjie." He knows exactly what you have done in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

If you don't surrender, he will have a reason to drive you all to death. ”

"Isn't he afraid of the feudal lord water master?" Birshan, Kutaka shouted.

As soon as the words fell, one of them walked in quickly.

"General! The banner of the naval division, captured by the enemy. ”

The envoy hurriedly said: "It's just outside the city, there are a lot of them." ”

"What!" Birch Mountain was shocked.

Gui Bo Xuanfang closed his eyes and recited in a low voice: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south." ”

Huashan Jiugao panicked, raised his head and asked Gui Bo Xuanfang: "If I surrender, can I really ensure my life?" ”

"What Yang Jingluo said to me personally is like this."

Gui Bo Xuanfang played Tai Chi: "As for whether it is true or not, it all depends on your sincerity." ”

Birshan's long high was deflated.

On December 19, the third year of Chongzhen, the gate of Shuri Castle was opened.

Kayama Hisataka took the Satsuma clan out of the city, threw down the weapons in his hands one by one, and walked to the prisoner of war camp designated by the Liaodong Army, waiting for the judgment of fate.

Yang Chengying rode a high-headed horse bought from the people, led the Liaodong army, and entered the city as a victor.

King Shangfeng, the king of the Ryukyus, dressed in the uniform given to the king of the Ryukyus by the Ming Dynasty, greeted him outside the palace with his ministers.

Out of etiquette, Yang Chengying immediately dismounted when he saw King Shangfeng.

When he approached, he did not bow first.

Instead, King Shangfeng made a gesture and said something.

The interpreter who acted as the interpreter translated: "The monarch of a small state, it is a great honor to have the honor to meet the general of a big country. Thanks to the general for expelling the Japanese and returning the Ryukyu Kingdom to a peaceful state. ”

After listening to the translation, Yang Chengying hugged his fists and said: "I heard that the Ryukyu Kingdom had suffered misfortune, and the imperial court was in suspense day and night. But the charts are far away and there has never been a chance.

Now that the time has come, I personally led more than 10,000 sailors to sweep away the haze, and I plan to go to Kyoto to help your country speak and ensure the integrity of your country's territory. ”

After listening to the translator's translation, King Shang Feng seemed a little excited, and even cried.

He said: "The general doesn't know how hard I have been waiting for more than ten years. For seven days of the great robbery of Shuri Castle of the Satsuma Domain, everything that could be removed was removed. ”

Saying that, King Shangfeng actually turned around in front of Yang Chengying and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

Probably meaning, the only thing that wasn't robbed was this outfit.

Not only him, but also the ministers wept.

The Shuqiu Kingdom retains the traditional political order similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period in China, with relatives ruling the country.

The princes and priests who administer the place are all relatives of the king and are allowed to be hereditary.

In other words, the domestic products looted by the Satsuma Domain were the private property of these ministers.

That's why I cried very sadly one by one.

Yang Chengying comforted: "Please rest assured, since I am here, I will be the master of the Ryukyu Kingdom." I won't leave until this is resolved. ”

King Shang Feng heard this and nodded again and again, but there was a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.

Probably worried about the military discipline of the Liaodong Army.

Yang Chengying took the initiative to demarcate the land and live: "Please give me a piece of land for my army to be stationed." The two sides are separated, so that I can manage the army. ”

"Then, give a piece of land southeast of Naha Port to the Heavenly Soldiers."

King Shangfeng didn't dare to say "give", and some hoped that the Liaodong Army would leave some of it.

"Thank you."

Yang Chengying thought for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "The king is frightened these days and needs to rest for a while. I will also set up a camp and house the ships of the sailors.

Please allow me to leave the king for a few days, and wait for me to settle my men, and then come back to pay a visit.

Also, please send an important person with me so that there will be no conflict with the local people. ”

After listening to the translation, King Shang Feng nodded: "General, please take care of yourself, Xiao Wang can meet with the general at any time." ”

He thought for a moment, turned his head and said to the minister, "Cai Jin, you assist General Da Daotian in handling local affairs together. ”

A young minister came out and said, "Yes." ”

"Farewell."

Yang Chengying saw that the matter was settled, so he left the palace and returned to the army.

The entire conversation took place outside the palace, not that Yang Chengying didn't know etiquette.

First, the time is relatively rushed.

Second, rather than formal meetings, stabilizing the morale of the military is the primary task.

In accordance with the decree of King Shangfeng, Cai Jin moved the people from the land southeast of Naha Port and used it as a camp for the Liaodong Army.

The camp is located next to the sea and faces Naha Port, so you can keep abreast of the sea and the situation at Naha Port.

Looking at it this way, King Shangfeng is still very sensible.

Yang Chengying ordered the soldiers to occupy the area near the lighthouse while building a watchtower by the sea.

After doing this, we began to set up camp.

He sent people to use money to do business with the people of the Ryukyus Kingdom, and replenished daily necessities such as fresh water and vegetables in a timely manner.

Only a few days later, the people of the Ryukyus were not so afraid when they saw that the Liaodong army was so disciplined.

They came to the vicinity of the camp one after another and started doing business with the Liaodong Army nearby.

The accompanying merchants were also allowed to trade cloth and other goods with foreign merchants staying on Ryukyu Island.

At this time, an uninvited guest came.

"The leader is so polite, he actually brought black powder and iron bullets, it's really sweet."

Yang Chengying glanced at the gift list and couldn't help laughing.

The person who came was Liu Xiang, the pirate leader who had fought with Yang Chengying at sea.

He not only brought food and clothing, but also black powder and iron bullets that Yang Chengying needed at this time.

It can be described as full of sincerity.
