664 Only one stick of incense time
He was thinking about it when he saw Shangzhen looking up at him, with tears on his face and saying to him, "Come here!"
Shang Sheng was stunned when he heard this, but immediately came to his senses and thought he wanted him to accept the order, so he hurried over: "This is..."
"This is Brother Wang's blood letter!" Shang Zhen answered slowly, and then handed over the blood letter in his hand.
Shang Cheng was immediately very curious. It was indeed a blood book. Could it be that this time it was a blood book that asked Japan for help?
Thinking of this in his heart, he reached out to answer, wanting to see what was written in the blood book?
But before his hand could be received, he suddenly saw Shang Zhen's hands sending forward.
This sudden incident made him realize something was wrong, but he was just a civil servant. He was caught off guard and had no time to react, so he felt a stomachache.
Shang Zhen succeeded and immediately retreated. Without the cover of the blood book, he saw a dagger with jasper inserted into Shang Sheng's stomach.
Shang Sheng looked down at the dagger, his face full of incredible expression. He recognized that this dagger was the king's beloved thing, but now it was inserted into his stomach.
He grabbed the hilt of the dagger with both hands and wanted to pull it out, but he didn't dare. He felt the severe pain and his strength was disappearing. Shang Sheng understood that this beautiful dagger had killed him.
He could no longer stand and sat on the ground, blood began to overflow from the corner of his mouth. Shang Sheng, unwilling to accept it, vomited blood foam, stared at Shang Zhen and asked, "Why, why do you want to kill me?"
In fact, without answering, he knew that he was a scapegoat! However, he was very unwilling to accept it, as if he was talking to himself: "I am ordered to act and be loyal to the state, but now I want me to die. Why? I am unwilling to accept it, I am not willing to accept it!"
Shang Zhen's face was pale. Looking at Shang Sheng sitting on the ground, he said with a little stern and cowardly, "I still dare to argue, I heard that it was you urging Brother Wang to make a big mistake!"
Shang Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and came to his senses and couldn't help but laugh.
Those are all the meanings of Shangxian, and he just acted on orders. And Shangxian showed an obvious attitude. He just reminded him, if Shangxian does not agree, would he still dare to force him?
Now, I'm downgrading all the responsibility on his head, without any responsibility, such a monarch...
Feeling the disappearance of life, Shang Sheng was very unwilling to accept it. Because he knew that not only was he going to pay the price of his life, but his family probably would never be able to turn over.
Thinking of this, he wanted to stand up hard. However, if he really couldn't stand up, he crawled into the hall, while climbing, and said intermittently: "The king is so in dealing with me, I will not be willing to die even if I die! I can die, but I want an explanation..."
Seeing Shang Sheng like this and seeing a bloody path dragged out behind him, Shang Zhen said with a little trembling: "Brother Wang won't explain it to you..."
Hearing this, Shang Sheng, who was trying hard to crawl, paused, but he soon continued to crawl forward.
Even if it is not for himself or for his family, he still wants to Shang Xianwang to make a promise.
But at this moment, Shang Zhen continued, "...Brother Wang is dead!"
When he heard this, Shang Sheng's body immediately stopped and did not move. Obviously, this news was also very unexpected to him.
The palace maids and eunuchs next to him were so scared that they ran away when Shang Zhen assassinated Shang Sheng just now that they could not hear them.
I saw Shang Sheng seemingly wanted to turn his head hard, but in the end he still limped and lay on the ground and never moved again.
……………………
The vast Ming army drove to the city of Shuri.
At this time, the city gate was closed, and the Ryukyu soldiers on the top of the city were all looking at the Ming army with fear, with a clear look of fear on their faces.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiangming, who was in front of the team, shouted loudly to the generals on the city: "Go and report to the king, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are here, open the door quickly!"
"Please rest assured Lord Zheng. The general of the last generation has already sent someone to report to the king!" The Ryukyu general on the top of the city obviously recognized Zheng Xiangming, poked out half of his head and replied immediately with a flattering smile.
After hearing this, Zheng Xiangming turned around and looked at Li Dingguo, among the Ming generals, and said, "General, you have already reported to the king on the top of the city. The door will be opened later!"
He was sure of this because he understood Ryukyu and the King of Ryukyu.
Li Dingguo was the head coach of the overseas troops this time, so Zheng Xiangming reported to him.
Among the foreign troops, there were a total of four generals, two navy and two army. Although the Ming Dynasty had improved the status of the navy at this time, the time was still short, and this kind of improvement of the naval status requires time to have real influence.
Therefore, Gu Sanmazi and Zheng Hongkui certainly would not have a chance to see Li Dingguo, the general of the army, as the head commander; while Sun Yingyuan was also a general, he had no title and was inferior to Li Dingguo in terms of status, so he was not qualified to have any objections.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li Dingguo is a person optimistic about Duke Xingguo, and even the emperor likes him very much. With this, it is actually enough. Not to mention, Li Dingguo's ability is also there.
At this time, Li Dingguo heard Zheng Xiangming's words, but was not very satisfied. He immediately said to Zheng Xiangming: "Tell the city that I will only give him one stick of incense. If it doesn't open, there is no need to open it anymore. Let's open the city gate ourselves!"
After saying that, he turned around and ordered his personal guards a few words, and saw the artillery dragged by mules and horses in the Ming army began to be placed directly towards the city gate. Obviously, if there was a disagreement, he would attack the city.
Zheng Hongkui and others looked at this, which was very suitable for their temper and were all looking at it happily.
When Zheng Xiangming saw this, he was moved. Because the heavenly soldiers did this, they were in a pity for them. Therefore, without saying a word, he immediately shouted to the top of the city: "I saw that there is only one stick of incense. If you don't have to open the city gate, you don't have to open the city gate anymore!"
Ryukyu was not strong at first, and he was sent by the Satsuma vassal to plunder their kings and ministers. Now that he was defeated by the Japanese, the Japanese naturally could not let Ryukyu rectify his military equipment. Therefore, at this time, Ryukyu's military equipment would only be worse than that year.
At this time, the Ryukyu guards on the top of the city frightened them when they saw the Ming army outside the city posing for siege. The cannon alone was scared.
While saying good things, the guard sent someone to report to the palace. He was on the top of the city, looking at the direction of the palace from time to time, hoping that the palace would come soon, so that he would not be able to do it.
He wanted to say that the time for one stick of incense was too short, but seeing the Ming army coming in murderous aura, he didn't dare to say it, it was really painful.
As time passed slowly, the Ryukyu guards on the city were panicking. How could they be allowed to resist the Daming Heavenly Soldiers? If it really doesn't work, you can surrender first.
At the city, Zheng Hongkui and others rode on the horse, but they didn't get off the horse and were chatting alone.
"These Ryukyu people are not even as good as those in the natives of Nanyang. They dare to oppress us Ming people and moved here according to the will of Taizu. They are really brave!"
"No, it depends on this royal city. What kind of broken city is this? It's not even comparable to our small county town in the Ming Dynasty! It's all for them to bombard them with face!"
"I dare to bully my fellow villagers. If I want to follow my previous temper, I will be so polite to them and just go in!"
“…”
Hearing the content of their chat, Sun Yingyuan frowned slightly and drove his horse to Li Dingguo, wanting to remind Li Dingguo that this time he came to the court mainly to deal with the Japanese, rather than destroying Ryukyu. The King of Ryukyu did a bad job, at most he reported it to the emperor and sent it to him.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the Ryukyu guard on the top of the city cheering in surprise. Then, I saw him poking out his whole body and murmur towards Zheng Xiangming.
After hearing this, Zheng Xiangming turned around and reported to Li Dingguo happily: "General, you have seen the palace sending a horse from the top of the city, and you can open the door soon!"
When Li Dingguo heard this, he was not happy, but said lightly: "I will just look at whether they are in the palace or not, and I will only look at whether the time for one stick of incense is here!"
On the top of the city, the Ryukyu guard was obviously stunned when he heard this. It was obvious that he could understand the Ming Dynasty's official words. He turned his head anxiously and looked down in the city, and suddenly ordered: "Hurry up, open the city gate!"
When his subordinates heard this, they quickly reminded: "Sir, the people in the palace have not arrived yet!"
"Can't wait. If you annoy the heavenly soldiers outside, do you still want to survive?" The Ryukyu guard said in a hatred, "Besides, can the palace still order the resistance of the heavenly soldiers? Don't be too long-winded, open the door!"
When the Japanese attacked Shuri Castle, they did not resist and surrendered directly. The soldiers of the Great Ming Dynasty arrived, and the genius believed that they would resist!
So, just when the envoys from the palace arrived at the city gate, they found that the Ming army had already begun to enter the city, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
The Ryukyu guards were also good at being human. They came to him as soon as possible and said, "Why are you here so late? If you miss the time, you almost let the heavenly soldiers attack the city!"
"..." When the messenger heard this, he came back to his senses and was immediately scared: he had arrived at the fastest speed, but he didn't expect it to be late.
Seeing the heavenly soldiers driving into the city in groups and starting to take over the city defense, the envoy was a little scared and did not dare to deal with the heavenly soldiers. However, when he saw Zheng Xiangming, he immediately got off his horse and showed a flattering smile. However, after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, so he quickly changed to a mourning face and said to Zheng Xiangming: "Mr. Zheng, please help tell the heavenly soldiers and generals to avenge the previous king! Wuwuwu..."
Zheng Xiangming was stunned when he heard this. What does it mean to help the former king avenge?
