661 Murder Liwei

When Zheng Xiangming heard this, he was furious and shouted sternly: "My grandfather is loyal to the country and becomes a traitor in Ryukyu?"

The other Ming people were all furious.

It can be said that Zheng Xi is the highest official among the thirty-six surnames, and of course it is also the pride of all Ming people. He did not surrender to the Japanese and even served the country with death, but eventually became a traitor from Ryukyu. Even the upright Ryukyu people would be angry in this kind of thing, let alone those of them, Ming people.

Looking at the Ming people wearing Hanfu and net scarves in front of him, they all wanted to eat themselves, Shang Sheng immediately sneered: "I said that this is the clear order of the king and the historian has revised it, which is a foregone conclusion. You are called the Heaven here, so what's the use?"

After hearing this, Zheng Xiangming immediately explained to an old man: "Uncle Cai, please help me see here. I will immediately go into the palace to meet the king and ask for an explanation!"

After hearing this, Uncle Cai nodded and responded: "It is related to the honor and disgrace of our Tangying, and it is all our affairs. Just go quickly, I'm here to watch!"

After hearing this, Zheng Xiangming prepared to leave and went to the capital to ask Shangxian for an explanation.

Over the years, the lives of Kumi Village have become more and more difficult. They also understand that after all, the Japanese are powerful and the Ryukyu court has no choice.

Therefore, Kumi Village did not make any requests to the King of Ryukyu, but just stick to its bottom line and be a wise man without compromising with the Japanese.

But unexpectedly, the King of Ryukyu surrendered to the point where he had no bottom line, and wanted to discredit the heroes of Kumi Village and also brought troops to Kumi Village to smash them. This was something they could not tolerate and had to fight, so that the King of Ryukyu and others in the court knew about Kumi Village’s attitude!

But who knew that Zheng Xiangming's way was stopped by Shang Sheng's people. He immediately stared at Shang Sheng and asked, "What does this mean? I want to see the king, and you want to stop him too?"

"The king has given me, but I won't see you!" Shang Sheng immediately sneered and replied.

I had long expected Kumi Village's reaction, so of course Shangxian would not see him.

When Zheng Xiangming heard this, he was naturally dissatisfied and insisted on asking for an explanation in person. However, the soldiers brought by Shang Sheng could not get away.

Naha Port next to Kume Village is an important port for trade between Ryukyu and Asian countries. Ryukyu has made huge profits through re-export trade, so Naha Port is extremely prosperous as a result.

During the Second Shang Dynasty, it was this Ryukyu dynasty. Naha Port, Bogang (located at the mouth of Anrikawa River) and Anshe Port (located at the mouth of Anshechuan River) were ranked as the three major trading ports of Ryukyu. The Naha gentry gained a high social status because of business, so it was ranked as the four major gentry of Ryukyu along with the Shuri gentry, Kumi gentry, and Boshe.

Therefore, many Japanese people from the Naba Port, heard the news and rushed over to watch.

When they heard the conflict, the Japanese all watched the show with gloating, pointing their fingers, and their expressions were all arrogant.

But when the gentry looked at this scene, they were all silent.

The rise of the Naha gentry was because of trade, and the main end of trade was naturally the Ming Dynasty.

To a certain extent, there is a coexistence and win-win relationship between the Naha gentry and the Kumi gentry. Because the Kumi gentry assumed the role of translation and diplomacy to the Ming Dynasty, their existence was very important.

Now, the King of Ryukyu is not what they want to see to please the Japanese and suppress the Kumi tribes.

At this time, a Naha gentry couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and said, "Are you not afraid of turning back and complaining to the Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Shang Sheng turned his head and sneered, "Tong Youwu, don't meddle in other people's business. Mingguo can't take care of himself. When have you ever been in charge of outside affairs?"

When Tong Youwu heard this, although he was a little dissatisfied with Shang Sheng's attitude, he still reminded: "The last time the Ming people came to trade, although the transaction was not successful, they talked about it. Today's Ming Dynasty has long been peaceful and safe, not as before!"

"Haha..." Shang Sheng heard this and immediately sneered, "Just brag, what do you know?"

Although the blood letter has been known to the Japanese, most people here in Ryukyu still don’t know about it.

"Sir, don't forget, the Ming Dynasty once sent troops to North Korea..." Speaking of this, Tong Youwu glanced at the Japanese who were watching the show in gloating, and then stopped talking.

After Ryukyu was captured by the Japanese, North Korea sent letters to Ryukyu to try to form an alliance against Japanese devils. At the beginning, both sides were interested and had close contact. But later, after Ryukyu further turned to Japan, the two sides cut off relations.

This actually further harmed the interests of Ryukyu, because North Korea is also an important target of Ryukyu's transit trade. The Naha gentry who had developed business naturally had complaints.

After hearing this, Shang Sheng sneered: "That was the past. As for the Ming Dynasty today, haha..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at the Japanese who were watching the show and said the blood book again. Then he said mockingly: "It has been more than a year now. Did the Ming Dynasty send troops? Haha, I said that the Ming Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself, so how could it be possible to take care of overseas affairs!"

When Tong Youwu heard this, he was stunned. In this way, the Ming people who came last year must be bragging about the prosperity of the country and the stability of the people and the strong soldiers and horses!

Zheng Xiangming didn't expect such a thing. At the same time, he immediately understood why Shang Shengyou came to trouble Kumi Village with such fearlessness!

The Ming Dynasty has always been the biggest backing of Kumi Village. Even though the Ming Dynasty did not care about Ryukyu before, as long as there is a tribute to the sea trade, the status of Kumi Village will not be shaken.

But judging from the current situation, the tribute once every five years, and the news that was sent back at that time was indeed true. The Ming Dynasty encountered great trouble and could not take care of itself. The king must have confirmed this and dealt with Kumi Village without any scruples!

At this time, Zheng Xiangming felt that it seemed that Kumi Village had become an orphan at once, and someone came to bully him.

A feeling of grief and anger immediately surged into my heart.

What's wrong with orphans? You natives, if Emperor Taizu had not allowed us to settle here for thirty-six surnames to provide you with convenience in maritime trade, could you make profits from maritime trade?

A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiangming was disappointed with the King of Ryukyu, and was so indignant that he no longer wanted to find the King of Ryukyu to explain. He stood at the forefront of the thirty-six surnames and shouted sternly to Shang Sheng: "Even if the Ming Dynasty is too busy to take care of itself now, I, Jiumi Village, can't be ravaged by you casually. If you want to ruin my Jiumi Village, step over me!"

When the compatriots behind him heard this, they stood forward, surrounded him, and said angrily: "Yes, I want to come to Kumi Village to cause trouble, step over us!"

At this time, many people from Jiumi Village rushed over after hearing the news. Among them, there were young and strong, old people, and young students. After understanding what was going on, they were all angry. They stood behind Zheng Xiangming, forming rows of people walls, blocking the way into the village.

Behind them was the old man in the village who came to see the situation after hearing the news and the woman holding the baby.

Everyone understood that today was a disaster in Kumi Village. But they were not afraid, and there was more anger on everyone's face.

These people are different from the Ming people who went to Nanyang. The Ming people in Nanyang came from many places in the Ming Dynasty, and they arrived at various places in Nanyang at different times and purposes, so they were weaker in terms of unity.

But these Ming people from Liuqiu settled here according to the will of Taizu. When they came together, they had leaders themselves, so they were particularly united, and this time, they were no exception.

Seeing these Ming people in Kumi Village in such a posture, Shang Sheng had already expected it. He turned around and looked at the soldiers he brought with him, a sneer appeared on his face, and then he took a move.

Suddenly, the remaining soldiers who were originally lined up behind them all rushed up with swords and guns.

The bright swords and guns were aimed at the unarmed Zheng Xiangming and others, and they had an advantage in numbers.

"I warn you again and be punished honestly! Otherwise, there will be no sight of swords and guns!" After seeing the soldiers in their positions, Shang Sheng pointed at Zheng Xiangming's nose with his fingers and shouted coldly.

The decree he received was mainly to punish the Ming people in Kume Village. One was to show the Japanese people to express the surrender of Ryukyu; the other was to vent their anger on their own, because they felt that they were bullied by the Japanese people, and they were brought by these Ming people in Kume Village.

Shangxian also expected the resistance of the people of Kumi Village. Therefore, in the will of Shangsheng, he could kill several people to establish his authority. Of course, it is impossible to kill them all. Because the people of Kumi Village may be useful in the future.

Hearing Shang Sheng's murderous words, the Naba gentry, including Tong Jiuwu, could not help but shake their heads and retreated a little.

If they were just talking, they were willing to help Akito from Kumemura. However, if they really wanted to use a knife and a gun, it would be obviously impossible.

When those Japanese watching the show saw this scene, they felt like they were injected with chicken blood and started shouting in their bird songs, hoping that the bigger the matter, the better!

At this moment, Zheng Xiangming became even more sad and angry. Even though he was just a scholar, he took a few steps forward, walked towards the shaky sword and gun, and patted his chest and said, "You want to kill someone, right? Come on, stab me here. If I hide for a while, I will not be a Ming person here according to the will of Taizu!"

Shang Sheng was intimidated by his momentum and subconsciously took a few steps back. After all, Zheng Xiangming's identity was there, and he was the leader of the Tang Camp now.

However, he had already obtained the will to kill people. After coming back to his senses, he became angry and immediately said viciously: "Come here! Give me..."
