"The Ryukyu Kingdom is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty."

Ning Wan said: "There has been such a serious incident, as the Celestial Empire, of course, it is reasonable to send troops to help. ”

The location of the negotiations is still full of gunpowder.

Yang Chengying listened to the argument while playing a chess game with Huang Zongxi.

"That's not right." Huang Zongxi suddenly whispered.

"What's wrong?"

"Mr. Ning fell into the trap of the other party, and the debate went to extremes."

"Oh? What are your ideas? ”

"If I allow, I'll argue with the other side."

Huang Zongxi was eager to try.

Yang Cheng saw it and beckoned to Cao Bianjiao.

"Omitted." Cao Bianjiao approached.

"Go, tell Mr. Ning and invite him to play chess."

Yang Chengying whispered: "Let De Bing go and debate with the envoy of the Satsuma Domain." ”

Debing is Huang Zongxi's word.

"Yes." Cao Bianjiao retreated.

He lifted the curtain and came to the negotiation site with Huang Zongxi.

When they saw them coming, they all shut their mouths.

I'm a little confused.

Cao Bianjiao whispered in his ear: "This is the meaning of the scripture, let Huang Zongxi debate with the representatives of the Satsuma Domain." ”

Ning Wan I nodded, got up and gave up my seat to Huang Zongxi.

He went behind the scenes with Cao Bianjiao.

When he saw Yang Chengying, he looked ashamed.

Yang Chengying did not blame: "Come, let's play chess and watch Debing negotiate." ”

"Okay." Ning finished me and sat down, picked up the sunspot, and started playing with Yang Chengying.

At this time, negotiations have already begun outside.

"I heard that the Shimazu family has a long history, and it was named the Shimazu clan because he was appointed as the official of Shimazu Shoso in Hyuga Province during the first shogunate period."

Huang Zongxi came up, first of all, a set since ancient times.

When Yamada Yourong heard this, he thought that Huang Zongxi was tracing back to his roots, and immediately said: "I heard the Lord say that the Shimazu clan is a descendant of Xu Fu in the Qin period.

Xu Fu took 3,000 boys and women to the east, and one of them spread out here. In this way, we still have some relationship. ”

"That's too far."

Huang Zongxi pulled the topic back, "When the Shimazu family was at its peak, it was the guardian of Satsuma, Osumi, and Hyuga, yes or no?" ”

"That's right!"

Seeing that the other party's reaction was cold, Yamada Yourong didn't care, and said with some pride: "Under the wise leadership of the previous generation of lords, I, the Satsuma samurai, galloped through Southern Kyushu and almost dominated the land of Kyushu. ”

Huang Zongxi nodded.

Yamada Yuei was even more energetic: "Even if he later surrendered to the shogunate, he was still a powerful feudal clan in the southwest. You know, the younger brother of the previous lord can join the enemy camp. ”

"yes. It's a pity that the Shimazu family almost occupied Kyushu Island. ”

Huang Zongxi's words changed: "But in the thirty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, that is, before the fourteenth year of Qingchang, you had no relationship with the Ryukyu Kingdom at all!" ”

Yamada Yuei was stunned and found himself in the trap of the other party.

Huang Zongxi pressed step by step: "The Shimazu family has the strength of southern Kyushu, and it has not occupied the Ryukyu Kingdom, but why is it only now?" ”

"This ...... You ......" Yamada was stunned.

He hadn't turned the corner yet.

"The Ryukyu Kingdom, since the fifth year of Hongwu, about two hundred and fifty years ago, has accepted the canonization of my Ming Dynasty. In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Taizu gave the Fujian people of the Ryukyu Kingdom 36 surnames. It has always been a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty. ”

Huang Zongxi stood on the moral high ground and struck a dimensionality reduction: "I am a great Ming Ji Liao Jing, and I heard that the Ryukyu Kingdom was poisoned by Er, so I led the heavenly soldiers to rush and easily wipe out the thieves. What is the reason for your shameless sophistry that does not know repentance? ”

"Since you don't have the sincerity to negotiate, then don't blame us for being polite."

Yamada Yuei left the table angrily and left angrily.

Listening to it all the time, Ning Wan frowned slightly and said, "Talking like this, I'm afraid that I will talk about the Year of the Monkey and the Month of the Monkey." ”

"Don't worry, wait for my sailor to recuperate for a few days, and then wave the division north."

Yang Chengying picked up a white piece and put it on the chessboard.

Yamada walked angrily.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared not far in front of him.

"Gui Bo Xuanfang?" Yuei Yamada walked over.

Gui Bo Xuanfang also greeted him: "Yamada-kun, don't come unharmed." ”

"I'm still fine, I'm almost."

Yamada said with a puff of honor: "Master, why are you here?" Oh, you're here with the Ming Army. ”

"Yes, not only me, but also Nobusada-kun from the Hirado Domain. At this time, I was talking about business with Ryukyu merchants. ”

Gui Bo Xuanfang maintained his usual polite smile.

Yamada Yourong listened, frowned, and said, "What? Are you willing to cooperate with the Ming army? ”

"What if you don't cooperate? I can't beat it. ”

Gui Bo Xuanfang didn't care about his false name, "I didn't want to cut off my financial route, so I had to cooperate completely with the Ming army." He eats meat, and I drink soup. ”

When he said this, Gui Bo Xuanfang chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.

Yamada Yuei disdainfully: "Eat meat, no problem." But you can't lose the backbone of a samurai just for the sake of eating meat. ”

Gui Bo Xuanfang smiled: "Backbone? Scold...... If you are asked by the shogunate, you are not allowed to do business with foreign feudal domains, and you are not allowed to exploit the gold deposits in your territory. Still have a backbone to speak of? ”

"This ......" Yamada Yuei was speechless.

"Yamada-kun, we are all retainers, of course for the sake of the family. The Ming army has no intention of leaving, and the shogunate wants you to beat your head and bleed. ”

Gui Bo Xuanfang sighed deeply: "You can think about this matter." ”

With that, he walked away.

Leaving a puzzled Yamada Yuei.

Yamada shook his head and walked away quickly.

Gui Bo Xuanfang came to the tent where Yang Chengying was and bowed.

"Brought the words?" Yang Chengying asked.

"Yes." Gui Bo Xuanfang responded, "The head of the Shimazu family is a smart person, and he should be able to understand the overtones of those words. ”

Yang Chengying nodded: "That's good." Don't go back, it's good for me to be a diplomatic monk here, and I'll build you a temple here. ”

Gui Bo Xuanfang smiled but did not speak.

Yang Chengying also stopped mentioning it.

The temples of the Wa Kingdom are very similar to the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China.

To put it bluntly, the monks there were another version of the landlord gentry.

They were allowed to marry and have children, and to have arms and land.

O land!

In comparison, who wants to be a poor monk in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In the days that followed, Yang Seung-ying negotiated with the King of the Ryukyus about the details of the lease.

Surprisingly, Shang Feng Wang took the initiative to ask for an extension of the lease term, hoping to set the lease term at 30 years.

Yang Chengying thought about it again and again and agreed. But the land was asked to be larger, so that the soldiers stationed in the local area could bring their families with them.

King Shang Feng readily agreed.

Just as the two sides were about to make a final decision, the second delegation of the Satsuma clan arrived in Ryukyu Province by ship.

This time, they came prepared.

Leading the delegation was Shimazu Tadashi from the Shimazu family in Saskatchewan.

Yang Chengying decided to greet him personally and negotiate with him.

Ning Wan was puzzled: "Just leave this matter to me and De Bing, why bother with the big driver." ”

"Mr. Ning, you only know one but you don't know the other."

Yang Chengying smiled mysteriously.
