Chapter 130: The Ryukyu Prince II

"What about the interpreter I want? Why hasn't it come yet? ”

Shang Xian fainted, but Zong Xin, who took refuge in him, couldn't care about his injuries at the moment, and was talking anxiously to Chen Cao, only Chen Cao couldn't understand Hokkien Hakka, and the little Minion in front of him was obviously mixed with the local language of the Ryukyus.

"His official words are terrible." Zhao Xin couldn't help but say.

When the interpreter came, Chen Cao couldn't help but kick him in the ass: "How did the army teach you military orders?" ”

The interpreters of the Dingwu Army are all students recruited by the academy, trained in military law, and the interpreters helped their helmets, and then saluted: "Back to the Hou Ye, the little one had diarrhea on the boat, and I ate some fruits on the shore last night and pulled it to the present." ”

Chen Cao looked at him with a gloomy face: "Still don't pull it?" ”

The interpreter held his head high and said, "The little one knows how to hold back." ”

"What did he say?" Chen Cao pointed at Zong Xin.

Then there was a conversation between the two, until the interpreter respectfully said a few words of Ryukyu to Chen Cao, and Zongxin immediately knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to Chen Cao repeatedly, and kept shouting in his mouth.

"Master Hou, this person said that his name is Zong Xin, he is the chief of the guard in Lingang, and he is bowing to you, Master Hou."

"What happened here last night, ask carefully."

It turned out that Shang Xian, who had a careful plan, asked the right guard general to inform Wang Zhuang of the assassination of Hirata Zengxin, but the left guard general found out that the prince and Cheng Shilang had a secret meeting for a long time, and the left guard general directly informed Hirata Zengxin, and then the Japanese went to Wang Zhuang's house, arrested Wang Zhuangyan and tortured him, and threatened his family, so that Wang Zhuang told Shang Xian's conspiracy;

After that, Hirata Zengxin took the plan and pretended to be fooled, but in fact he entered the palace with two hundred garrisons outside the palace, and preemptively attacked before Shang Xian made a move, and slashed and killed the samurai on duty and the dead soldier Song Ji trained by Shang Xian in front of King Shang Feng;

Shang Xian saw that the matter was revealed, so he fought his way out of the siege under the cover of the right guard, and actually broke through the palace gate, until they ran to Lingang, there were only thirty-seven people left around, and Hirata increased the letter until they were already lost dogs, so they took advantage of this reason to kill in the palace, except for the daughters of King Shangfeng, all the women in the palace were poisoned without exception;

In order to avenge his wife, Zongxin took advantage of the unpreparedness of the nine ghosts to kill her, and he was also injured a lot, and then he fought with the pursuing Japanese army of more than 100 people on the beach side of Lingang.

Until the vanguard of the Ming army landed on the shore and repelled the Japanese army with muskets.

Chen Cao frowned when he heard this, and then pointed to Shang Xian, who was unconscious not far away: "That is Shang Xian, the son of the Ryukyus?" ”

After the interpreter translated, Zong Xin nodded again and again.

Chen Cao lowered his head and thought for a while: "How far is it to Shuri City, and what is the pass or hillside in the middle?" ”

After Zongxin translated, he kept talking.

"Master Hou, he said that Shuri Castle is less than twenty miles away from here, and there is no other cover except for passing by a coconut grove on the way."

Chen Cao frowned again, and looked at Song Che, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng beside him: "The coconut grove is relatively open, and it is impossible to hide, and the Japanese are often used to this place, if we take the initiative to ambush, I am afraid that their way will be arrested, I think we are waiting for the rabbit here, what do you think?" ”

Sun Chuanting loosened his brows and spoke first: "The lower officials think it's okay, put the Japanese in the encirclement, slaughter some of them, and then go to Shuri City, get twice the result with half the effort, and you can also bring two Shenwu cannons to blast through their city gates." ”

The other two nodded, and Chen Cao asked Zhao Xin to pass the order, and then looked at the unconscious Shang Xian: "Poor son..."

Only half an hour had passed, and the forward scout came back quickly, and came straight to Chen Cao's folding stool: "Master Hou, ten miles away, I found a large number of Japanese robbers coming towards Lingang. ”

"The vengeance is coming..."

Chen Cao stood up, although it was only early morning at the moment, the sun had already risen, and it was still a little dazzling: "Let the first division fight this first battle, fire muskets in unison, see how powerful this batch of widows is, Ben Hou will sleep on the boat for a while, and then call me when it's over." ”

Chen Cao felt that he hadn't slept for long, and was woken up by Zhang Chunyao, and Zhao Xin had been waiting outside the cabin for a long time.

It wasn't until Chen Cao got off the boat that he found that there were three rows of widows kneeling neatly on the dock.

Tang Kainian, the commander of the first division, waited for Chen Cao to speak with his head held high: "Master Hou, these people don't have firearms, they turned around and ran away after our first round of musket volleys, and the last general led people to pursue, this is the rest of the people, and the rest were all thrown into the sea to feed the fish." ”

Chen Cao looked at this man who came out of the Liaodong battlefield and nodded with satisfaction: "There are some things, you should remember the merits of your first division." ”

The clerk next to him hurriedly wrote it down.

Chen Cao looked at these Japanese robbers and felt very bored, so he asked them to tie up all of them, and he was going to use these people's heads outside Shuri Castle to deter those people.

"Master Hou, the prince of the Ryukyus has woken up."

When Chen Cao saw Shang Xian, Shang Xian was already crying excitedly, and then knelt in front of Chen Cao and kept knocking, and then said in the standard official language of Ming Nanjing: "Shang Xian, the son of the Ryukyu family, thank you for the great grace of the Ming Dingwu Marquis, the ministers have long looked forward to the king to come to save my Ryukyu people from fire and water. ”

Chen Cao suddenly had a scene where the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and then the traitor was in charge, and then he frowned and looked at Shang Xian, who was crying in front of his boots, shook his head helplessly, and still stretched out his hand to help him up: "Don't cry the prince, since Benhou is here, it is also a good thing for you Ryukyu, I can't imagine that I have not been to sea in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and overseas vassals have actually become like this." ”

Shang Xian stood up and bowed to Chen Cao: "The Marquis of Mongolia came, it is a great help to my Ryukyu Kingdom, the heavens // Chaoshang Kingdom has not opened the sea for a hundred years, but let those Ryukyu people take advantage of it, so that my Ryukyu people live in the water and fire, those heavenly Ryukyu Koukou, deceive me Ryukyu without soldiers, enter the palace every day to cause trouble, so that my father is humiliated, and the subordinates implore the Hou Ye to send troops to exterminate this group of Japanese Kou and avenge the vassals." ”

Chen Cao was a little moved, but he looked up at Sun Chuanting, and the guy shook his head slightly, Chen Cao was not easy to accept, so he said: "Don't be anxious, this time Benhou was ordered by the emperor to carry 50,000 troops to the Wa State, in order to help the former Wa State Zhengyi General regain the rights that belong to him, this time it is also a crusade against the ministers, and now he is just passing by you Ryukyu, if you send troops to help you, Ben Hou can't afford this responsibility." ”

Shang Xian has learned the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to speaking the Ming language, he is also clear about the transgression, so as soon as Chen Cao spoke, he was embarrassed at the moment, and then he knelt down anxiously, hugged Chen Cao's calf and said: "Hou Ye help, since Hou Ye is going to the Japanese country to crusade against the ministers, the subordinates have the Japanese army here, and they should be exterminated." ”

"It's really embarrassing, so let's do it, I'll send troops to garrison Lingang to protect you, you can take a letter to me to go to my Daming, inform me of the emperor's situation here, and wait until the emperor approves it, and then it's not too late to use troops..."

In fact, this is not a good way, but where is Shang Xian willing, after seeing the sharp firearms of the Ming army, he has long determined that this army is a question mark, if they are allowed to leave, whether he can return to the city is a question mark.

"Hou Ye Mingjian, the Japanese have garrisons in the north of the mountains and the south of the mountain, and my Ryukyu troops are really not the opponents of the Japanese invaders, please look at the lower country in the sky // Emperor Taizu of the Dynasty will save the life of the vassal country for the sake of the ministers..."

"I don't know if Wang Shizi can call the shots?"

Shang Xian looked up at Chen Cao and nodded categorically: "The subordinate is the prince of the Ryukyu king, and he can call the shots." ”

"Okay then..."Chen Cao stood up, looked at the mountain peaks towering in the distance and said: "Ryukyu has paid tribute to my Ming Dynasty for many years, it is for my loyal vassal country of the Ming Dynasty, and now the vassal country is in trouble, as the suzerain, I should lend a helping hand, I don't know what Brother Wu thinks?" ”

Wu Chun looked at Shang Xian with a smile: "As Your Majesty's domestic slave and a prison army, how can we watch the vassal country suffer and spread it, isn't it also ruining our face of the Ming Dynasty?" Hou Ye just do it. Our family will tell Your Majesty the truth. ”

When Shang Xian heard this, he stood up happily, and when he was about to return the salute, Chen Cao raised his hand: "It's not impossible to ask Benhou to send troops, but there are conditions." ”

Shang Xian's happy expression immediately stopped, and then he arched his hand: "Please show it to Master Hou." ”

Chen Cao turned his head to look at the surrounding environment, and then pointed to the entire Lingang Road: "The Ryukyus have belonged to me for many years, and I have paid tribute every year, and my Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain, has always given you a lot of benefits, and now that your Ryukyu country has suffered a disaster, as the king of the Ryukyus, you have an unshirkable responsibility;

It would be unwise to deliberately conceal the fact that Ryukyu belonged, and if His Majesty knew about it, it would be a crime of deceitful king, and Ryukyu should destroy the country. ”

Sang-hyun was terrified when he heard this.

"However, as the suzerain, Benhou also feels that he can rescue Ryukyu, but it is not in vain."

Shang Xian was flustered, and hurriedly arched his hand towards Chen Cao: "Please make it clear to Master Hou." ”

"After driving out the Japanese in Shuri Castle, Lingang will be used by my Daming Naval Division, and this will be the base of my Great Ming Naval Division."

"Ahh

At this moment, Shang Xian felt that he was luring the tiger to drive away the wolf, and the tiger was likely to stay.

"What? What does the prince think is inappropriate? Chen Cao then snorted coldly, and then turned his head with his back: "If the prince is unwilling, the Japanese will be killed later, don't blame Benhou for handing you over, the prince needs to know that Benhou's trip is only to replenish fresh water and food in the Ryukyus, and he will leave after the supply is completed. ”

The threat of naked//naked, Chen Cao's favorite thing to do is this kind of thing.

Shang Hyun was extremely frustrated, and the words came to this point, unless he didn't want to be the king of the Ryukyus at all, according to the current development of things, he was only caught and died, and the Ryukyu throne belonged to his younger brother.

He...

Not reconciled...
