When the officials present heard this, they immediately turned their attention to the commander of the Jinyiwei Tongzhi. Obviously, they thought that the Jinyiwei would handle this matter better.

Or, now because Duke Xingguo is the commander of the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei has the highest prestige. Without the Jinyiwei nodding, they would not dare to make a decision privately.

When Lan Tianbao saw this, he immediately smiled and said, "We, the Ming Dynasty, conquered people with virtue. He said that the King of Ryukyu was two-faced and was planning to stab us, Daming in the back. There is evidence for such a thing, do you understand?"

Although he was smiling, although he said he wanted to win people with virtue, he summed up directly that the King of Ryukyu was two-faced and inserted a knife behind the Ming Dynasty.

Although I said this, I was not wrong in summing up, but for some reason, Zheng Xiangming suddenly felt a little afraid to look directly at Lan Tianbao.

Of course, he also understood what Lan Tianbao meant, so he immediately lowered his head and took the order and said, "Please rest assured, the official will go back and collect evidence!"

……………………

In Shuri Castle, the Ming army was about to be defeated and the Japanese army landed immediately became even more outrageous.

However, the more this happens, the more excited the King of Ryukyu Shangzhen became.

Now he understands that he will be bullied when he hugged Japan's thighs, but the king still has power.

And since the Ming army came, he has been a blank air and has no power.

If a man has no authority to live, what is the difference between him and a walking corpse?

Mingguo, let’s play on your own!

But he never thought about why the King of Ryukyu would lose his power?

It was because they attacked the Ming people that when the Ming army came, they took the initiative to hand over power.

If Ryukyu had not tried to please the Japanese people to the Ming people, there would be no such thing at all.

It is really not easy for a person to think about reviewing himself in advance and recognize the truth. What is habitual is to push the responsibility outward!

Whether it is Shangxian or Shangzhen, they are all such mediocre people, so it is not surprising that they do such things!

However, before Shang Zhen was happy, someone rushed back to report that one news, followed by another, like a bolt from the blue, hitting his forehead one after another.

"Your Majesty, no, the Japanese army was defeated by the Ming army, and the Naba Port was full of Japanese warships destroyed!"

"Your Majesty, it's not good. The reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have arrived, and there are also huge iron armored boat-sealed warships!"

"Master, no, the Prime Minister came over with his men and horses!"

“…”

The accomplices who were originally surrounded by him, when they heard these news, their faces were gone, and they immediately dispersed, as far away as they could be from him.

Shang Zhen, who was just surrounded by a large group of people, suddenly became a lonely man!

No, there was another person with him, Xiao Dezi, the eunuch who was serving him closely.

Shang Zhen, who had been stunned for a long time, came back to his senses and looked as if he was ashamed, but there was still a little comfort. He said to his personal eunuch desolately: "Xiao Dezi, Gu didn't expect that you were the only one who could be with Gu in the end!"

Seeing Xiao Dezi lowering his head and not talking, he seemed very sad, Shang Zhen sighed and said, "Instead of being insulted by Ming people, it is better to go find a tree to hang it. Xiao Dezi, go! With you on the road, you will not be lonely!"

At this moment, Zheng Xiangming was hunched over with a large group of people.

Suddenly, Xiao Dezi moved and took a few quick steps towards Zheng Xiangming. He pointed at Shang Zhen with his backhand and said, "Mr. Zheng, the villain is going to expose it! The former king also wrote a blood letter to Japan, which was in his sleeve, and he had taken it out just now."

"..." Shang Zhen's body couldn't help but sway, almost sitting on the ground, looking at his personal eunuch in a daze, without saying a word.

"Also, the king was anxious just now, many people discussed attacking the heavenly soldiers in Naba Port. I remember those people..."

When Shangzhen heard this, he finally couldn't help it. He felt dark in front of him and dizzy.

……………………

In the evening of that day, Zheng Xiangming went to the Ming army camp at Naba Port again to meet the Ming Shangguan, and presented a thick stack of confessions.

When Lan Tianbao saw this, he turned his head with a smile and looked at Wang Jiayan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and Wu Ganzhong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and said, "Two sirs, what do you think should you deal with such a vassal king who betrayed the Ming Dynasty?"

Neither Wang Jiayan nor Wu Ganzhong expected that such a thing would happen after coming to Ryukyu. After they looked at each other, Wu Ganzhong responded: "Investigation and punishment of rebellion is the responsibility of the Jinyiwei, and Lord Lan will decide for himself!"

After hearing this, Lan Tianbao still smiled, then turned around and said to Zheng Xiangming: "Then announce these crimes, and then Shang Zhen takes them to the capital to wait for the emperor to submit them. Before the new decree arrives, you will still have to work hard on the matter of Ryukyu."

"I dare not, I dare not!" Zheng Xiangming quickly responded humbly when he heard this.

He could see that this great man was the chief official among all.

Lan Tianbao looked at Zheng Xiangming and said with a smile: "There is something you may not know yet. Anyway, you are idle, so you can chat with you casually!"

"..." Zheng Xiangming couldn't help but feel speechless. It was clear that the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty were all here in the central army tent. It was obviously discussing things. Why are they still idle even?

Also, when the two civil officials heard the words of the commander of the Jinyiwei Tongzhi, their expressions were obviously unnatural. Obviously, there was something wrong with this.

However, he didn't dare to point it out and listened quickly.

Lan Tianbao said to him with a smile: "There is a similar thing in North Korea. The King of Korea surrendered to Jianlu and our Ming Dynasty as enemies, and was eventually killed by Jianlu. He was considered to be dead, but what should the people there do?"

Hearing this, Zheng Xiangming really didn't know.

Since Ryukyu and North Korea cut off contacts due to Japan's relations, there has been no news.

However, he immediately gave an answer to the question of Lan Tianbao. What else can those people do? Isn’t it enough to choose a king who listens to the Ming Dynasty?

But who knew that Lan Tianbao said to him with a smile: "Finally, the Korean people wrote a letter of the people and begged to attach me to the Ming Dynasty. In the end, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty saw that the Korean people were really pitiful, so he ordered that North Korea be the 14th province of the Ming Dynasty."

Zheng Xiangming himself is a clever person, and Lan Tianbao's words were obvious. He immediately understood and immediately responded: "The officials really have a report on their feelings, which is related to this."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Lan Tianbao heard this and looked at him with a smile.

Zheng Xiangming heard this and said seriously: "The people of Ryukyu have suffered from the Japanese for a long time, and are poor and poor in this barren land. Now, the king of Ryukyu is in a rebellious manner, and the people are all indignant when they hear it. What a coincidence, the officials also heard many people and fellow villagers saying that they wanted to beg for the Celestial Empire so that they could become the people of the Ming Dynasty and hiding the Celestial Empire. The officials thought that it was not just a ship to return to the Ming Dynasty, so the officials would go and talk to them about this matter!"

"..." Zheng Hongkui immediately opened his eyes wide when he heard this, as if he had never seen Zheng Xiangming before.

However, the two civil officials looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

After hearing this, Lan Tianbao smiled and nodded, "Since you have something to do, then you won't delay your work!"

"The emperor is leaving!" Zheng Xiangming gave a solemn greeting with serious expression and retreated.

As soon as he left, Zheng Zhilong spoke to Lan Tianbao and said, "There is no matter how many mines in North Korea, and there are only a few broken islands in Ryukyu. If you surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it will be a complete burden!"

Along the way, he was familiar with Lan Tianbao. The most important thing is that during his time in the capital, he had a lot of dealings with Duke Xingguo. When he visited Duke Xingguo, he had met the Lan Manager in Xingguo Mansion several times, and his relationship was good. Therefore, he was not too afraid of Lan Tianbao, and asked with a little curiosity.

Zheng Zhilong is actually more of a businessman. He is good at dancing and plays every time. This is his strength, and by the way, he is good at calculating, which is also his instinct.

He was curious just now that he clearly heard Lan Tianbao's meaning.

If Ryukyu becomes the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, this is really not a good deal.

The middle-aged military tents are all senior officials in the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force. Therefore, Lan Tianbao was not afraid of others knowing it. He immediately replied with a smile: "Didn't the emperor want Japan to ced the Satsuma vassal to Ryukyu? There is a big gold mine there!"

"..." Zheng Zhilong was speechless when he heard this. It turned out that this was what he meant.

He was thinking, Lan Tianbao was still saying: "In the current war, my Ming Dynasty started the war on the main reason for helping Ryukyu, so I will use it first in the name of Ryukyu. Actually, it is natural to challenge the Japanese according to my intention. So what if I ceded it directly to me!"

This statement seems to have a lot of meaning.

However, the people present pretended not to understand.

Zheng Zhilong also made a fuss, then turned to look at Zheng Hongkui and said, "Where did you say it just now? By the way, we will arrive first. The fleet for transporting supplies is at the back. It is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow. Behind them are those maritime merchants, thinking of the protection of the imperial navy and those who come to do business."

They were talking about this before Zheng Xiangming came.

After hearing this, Zheng Hongkui said with confidence: "This time, we really suffered the loss of supply, otherwise we wouldn't have died so many brothers!"

Unfortunately, Ida Chusong could not hear what he said, otherwise he would have vomited blood and only a few people died, saying that so many brothers died, so what if so many people died in Japan?

Afterwards, they finally agreed on the next plan. Anyway, the Japanese navy on the Satsuma clan had been wiped out. Therefore, the original Ming Navy continued to go to the Satsuma clan to supply the Sakurajima army, and cut off the Gulf traffic.
