Chapter 387 The Ryukyu Kingdom’s Edict Touches the Vulture’s Hair(2/2)
"The imperial edict contains the content of dispatching this army. However, it is as you expected. Your Majesty, you can rest assured that your Majesty knows that you have been invaded by the Japanese country."
All Goryeo and Japanese Japanese in Ryukyu territory will be detained without mercy by the Ryukyu royal family. Those who resist and hide will be killed without mercy!
After being expelled from Japan, Ryukyu was restored to governance. How did he go to the capital to pay tribute and declare himself a vassal? After making a satellite phone call to Chongzhen, he promised to Shangxian.
In short, after the Ming Dynasty controlled the two vassal states of Goryeo and Ryukyu, there was no need to annex them. Instead, they needed several back gardens to digest their currencies.
The Third Secretary, represented by the Weng family, looked away at the local Weng Shu and quickly gave instructions to the clerk behind him, who quickly left.
However, the Ming Dynasty, as Ryukyu's model and suzerain state, has handed down various procedures, seal styles, and years. Ryukyu civil servants also dreamed of one day receiving the angels of the kingdom.
"Back to your Majesty, the Angel of the Kingdom of Heaven is Zheng Zhilong, the former Fujian guerrilla general. He is now the second-grade Angel of the Kingdom of Heaven. He is also the leader of this fleet.
Shangxian quickly turned around and gave instructions, and then the group of people walked to the shore. Shi Lang did not directly announce the decree, and Shangxian was not surprised at all. This set of procedures was even familiar to him.
It is a troop carrier, a warship, a supply ship, and an oil tanker. As for the remaining eleven ships, three are 100,000-ton class, and the rest are all 50,000-ton cargo ships.
"General, I am a battalion commander of the Royal Navy. There are no fathers and sons in the army. General, please don't take care of me through nepotism."
Shang Xian looked at Shi Lang calling Zheng Zhilong, his face full of doubts. How could such a black box communicate with a warship a mile away on the sea? Moreover, that black box could also make sounds.
Shangxian looked at the ten large ships in the distance, and his inner surprise reached its peak. For such a war ship, all the small wooden ships in Satsuma Kingdom had to be made of firewood.
"Oh, look at those red colors, they are obviously rust, and they are covered with iron sheets!"
"Ryukyu has been invaded by Japan for many years. Your Majesty previously handled state affairs and the sea march took a long time. You didn't have time. The Ryukyu Kingdom won't complain, right?"
"Huh? Which general of the Kingdom is so arrogant? How can I say that he is also the king of Ryukyu? How can I personally receive a general? Where is the angel of the Kingdom?"
After Shang Xian met with Mao Qiaojie, he was a little disappointed when he heard Shi Lang handed over the document and the purpose of his visit. He thought that this was someone coming from the country to make the decision for him, but he didn't expect that it was just a patrol.
Due to the unfortunate death of the late king in June last year, the small country does not have a king canonized by His Majesty, so the king, on behalf of the Ryukyu Kingdom, came with civil and military officials to seek instructions and welcome the general."
Therefore, as an angel, Zheng Zhilong had to wait for a while before disembarking from the ship and landing with the decree to declare the decree to the king of Ryukyu.
According to the imperial edict, the emperor was ordered to carry his fortune to heaven.
Ma Xianglin and Zheng Zhilong deliberately moved away from each other while chatting.
The rumors about Zheng Zhilong at sea are not good. It would be foolish to think that he is a businessman.
"Really? Great, great!"
This is how the Ming Dynasty's decree-promulgation ceremony came about. When the Ming Dynasty's imperial decree arrived, it was notified in advance, and then the Ryukyu king had to be ready to receive it.
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work! Everything is for Your Majesty."
"We have evacuated to Amami to the north."
When several samurai groups broke out of the siege and fled from the sea, they were encountered by a speedboat patrolling the southern coast of Ryukyu. After several rocket rounds, only fragments of the small boat were left floating on the shore.
"Is that the warship of Shangguo?"
"Baga, a bunch of cowards, escaping from battle!"
【Received, completed!】
"Could it be that this is made of silver?"
This is the heavenly army of the Kingdom of Heaven. In front of such warships, they don't need cannons. They just ram the Japanese ships, and even those wooden and iron boats can't stand it.
The navy's warships just docked at the coast, and the Japanese sailors had already fled. This gave Shangxian and other Ryukyu royal officials the courage.
The Emperor of China named him the governor of the vassal state of China, in charge of China's overseas military equipment. The one on the shore is the deputy governor of the Navy of China, whom Mao Qiaoqiao just told you.
The Japanese country was rude and aggressive, and was ambitious. It annexed Ryukyu Amami, interfered with Ryukyu government, invaded Goryeo, and massacred the people of Goryeo...
In order to protect the tributary country of Goryeo, to clear away the remnants of Goryeo in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and to drive the Ming Dynasty overlord...
Ignoring the miscellaneous comments of a group of gentry and royal family behind him, he ordered Zhang Bangyan to come forward to negotiate. Shang Xian and a group of ministers watched as Zhang Bangyan stepped forward to say a few words to Shi Lang, and then ran back dejectedly.
Two-quarters of an hour later, a twelve-seater speedboat arrived from the fleet, and the soldiers on the shore quickly formed two teams, standing five meters apart, and lined up neatly for more than a hundred meters from the port to Shi Lang.
According to the current naval ratio, a super warship has at least five or six small gunboats. These ships are patrolling Ryukyu. Will the next step be to march towards the Japanese countries of Korea?
"When did the navy of the Ming Dynasty have such strength? In any case, why did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty suddenly want to patrol the vassal country?"
It is precisely because of this that the Second Navy Division has a flagship converted from a 150,000-ton bulk container ship, with a side length of more than 380 meters.
Shang Xian felt exclaimed, and the officials of the Sansi Imperial Palace beside him were also surprised when they heard the conversation between the two in a low tone.
Now that the superior country is in charge, these hundreds of Japanese people in Shuli will not be able to cause any trouble. Moreover, the people of the small country have already had enough patience with the Japanese people. All the Japanese people can be arrested with just one order."
"Well, do the Japanese people on the island need our help?"
[Call the general, call the general, the Ryukyu king is waiting with hundreds of officials, the ceremony is complete, and you can receive the imperial edict, over!]
So Zheng Zhilong became a civil governor, reaching the second rank, but this was only for himself, and his future had to be paved, so it was necessary to reuse Zheng Sen and give Zheng Sen the opportunity to make contributions.
Our governor, General Zheng, is still on the flagship, please prepare to receive His Majesty's decree."
Zheng Sen seriously emphasized that Zheng Zhilong was happy. In fact, he was also very happy about this expedition. Chongzhen took over Zheng Zhilong and gained military power. Correspondingly, rights delivery and compensation needed to be carried out. This was an unspoken rule.
The Ming Dynasty officially led Goryeo, Ryukyu Kingdom and Japan to declare war!...
"Well, in that case, you are the temporary person in charge of Ryukyu, right? I am the deputy governor of the Royal Navy of Fujian and a doctor in the Ministry of War, Shi Lang, who has met the king.
However, this is just a matter of private happiness. On the surface, the two of them still have to emphasize fairness and justice.
"Um?"
But now that the life-saving straw he had been waiting for had come, and it was impossible to let it go, Shangxian decided to see Shi Lang first, and begged the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers to make the decision.
In one sentence: The heavenly soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven are here. The King ordered the arrest of all the Japanese on the island. Every Japanese caught is rewarded with five taels of silver. This reward is so generous that the whole island is looking for it, but the poor few hundred Japanese are still confused.
He was caught immediately.
As for further follow-up arrangements, Chongzhen and Chen Ye have not yet said that they will successively set up radio stations in Ryukyu, Korea and Japan, publish newspapers, set up royal merchant houses to combat prices, and unify the currency.
It lasted for a full five months. Compared with the Zheng family navy, they also received one month of distance education in maritime training and mechanical training.
The overall quality is better than that of Fujian's grass-roots team. It can be regarded as a semi-grass-roots team. Although it still has a long way to go compared to the modern ordinary navy, in the Ming Dynasty, it was already ahead of its time.
"By the way, General Shi, your patrol route this time is also going to the Japanese country?"
So after reading the document, Mao Qiaojiao bowed to Shi Langyi again, then excused himself and left, quickly running to Shuri City five miles away to deliver the message.
Compared with the Fujian Navy, the preparation time of the Second Navy Division can be said to have started from the decisive battle of Jinzhou.
"It's true that I forgot the rules. Okay, Master Ma, when we get to the Japanese country, arrange for this kid to be at the front line."
"Don't worry, General Zheng. Although the second battalion commander has asked to join the commando team, with a helmet and full bulletproof equipment, there won't be any big problems. Men, they have to go through the baptism of war."
Ma Xianglin looked at Zheng Zhilong and said, Zheng Zhilong nodded. He was very confident about the combat equipment of the Royal Army, especially the short-handled automatic muskets in the hands of the Navy. With that thing, he believed that Zheng Sen would not be injured even if he wanted to.
I am guilty and I regret
