Chapter 1107, Prince Federation
"I understand.*/www.//*I'm not sure about this time I invite Brother Shang to come. It's because I'm willing to help the Ryukyu Kingdom restore the country. Our Republic of China will never bully people like those great powers who claim to be developed, open up overseas colonies everywhere, and sign unequal treaties. The great powers ignore human rights and national sovereignty, and our Republic of China must do the opposite and uphold justice for the poor and weak nations in the world." When Wu Shaoting said this, he deliberately acted in a righteous manner.
"I am deeply moved by hearing the righteous words of the Head of State. If the Head of State can help me complete the great cause of restoration of the country, I am willing to make a great vow to accept the title of the Supreme People's Kingdom of China forever and be willing to be a subsidiary country of the Supreme People's Kingdom of China, and will never have any other intentions." Shang Wentai came here this time for this matter. Now when he heard Wu Shaoting say this, no matter what request Wu Shaoting would make, as long as he could ascend to the throne, everything would be allowed.
Wu Shaoting looked at several staff members on the side. Of course, he knew that Shang Wentai would definitely agree to all his requests. But the question that is worth worrying now is not what benefits Ryukyu will give to China in the future, but whether Ryukyu can take this task after its restoration. Therefore, according to his plan, he will win more territory for Ryukyu.
After a moment of silence, Wu Shaoting then asked again: "Brother Shang, if I can help you restore the Ryukyu Kingdom, then how will you arrange the Japanese and tribes in Ryukyu after the restoration of the country?"
Shang Wentai thought about it carefully, and then said, "What should the Head of State think should be done? I will follow the instructions of the Head of State."
Wu Shaoting sighed secretly. It seemed that the other party did not understand his intention at all. He was not asking the Ryukyu Kingdom to show allegiance, but to test whether Shang Wentai had this ability and became a barrier for China in the offshore areas of Japan. However, he did not attack Shang Wentai. No matter what the other party was, as long as he let himself know the details in advance, he could arrange the next countermeasures naturally.
After nodding slowly, he did not intend to continue to test Shang Wentai, and said directly: "I have an idea that Ryukyu not only needs to restore the country, but also expand its original territory and territorial waters."
Shang Wentai was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Master, what do you mean..."
Wu Shaoting said slowly: "I will force Japan to ced the southern Kagoshima archipelago, and all of these islands are incorporated into the territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom."
Shang Wentai opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Master, this... I dare not have any extravagance."
Wu Shaoting smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Shang, don't worry too much. As long as the Ryukyu Kingdom can be friendly with our Chinese world and jointly suppress Japan's expansion, everything else is easy to say. Besides, does Brother Shang want to be proud? When Japan invades your territory, and now your country will use his own way to do it. In this way, it can quickly restore national self-confidence in a short period of time, which is essential for the development of the Ryukyu Kingdom after its restoration."
Shang Wentai was naturally happy. Of course, he also understood Wu Shaoting's intention, so he once again said gratefully: "The Head of State is sympathetic to the small country, which really makes me grateful. How to arrange the head of state, I must obey the matter. In the future, my Ryukyu Kingdom will be restored and will definitely be willing to drive forward to the Chinese prefectures and guard against Japan together."
Wu Shaoting nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. But there is another point. After all, the Ryukyu Kingdom has been extinct for decades. Now, even Brother Shang, you are just revenge, but you lack many trusted people and subordinates around you. Even if Ryukyu is restored, how should the country and the royal family be convened?"
He had heard from the Intelligence Bureau that Shang Wentai is now just an ordinary commoner, with no trusted forces around him, and he only relies on exchanges with Naha and Taiwan to do some small businesses. Moreover, the business is not big, and both the family and the industry seem to have no life. The reason why he found this person was simply because the other party had the blood of the Ryukyu royal family.
Shang Wentai sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "This is the misfortune of the family. Now my Shang family is sparsely populated. Most of the old ministers in the kingdom died in their old age, and most of the descendants of the old ministers did nothing. Everything is just to live a life of silence and enjoy the status quo."
Wu Shaoting didn't say anything, but just stared at Shang Wentai with a considerate look, as if warning Shang Wentai, "If you don't have the ability to be this throne, you can only let others replace it."
Shang Wentai waited for a while, and saw that Wu Shaoting had no reaction for a long time, so he had to quickly say: "However, I have paid more attention to the news of South Asian countries recently. The Head of State helped Vietnam restore the ** and proclaimed the emperor to establish a country. There are more or less places for me to learn from. Even if I am not rich, as long as I have the help of the Shang Kingdom, the Shang Kingdom and the People's Republic of China establish a close cooperative relationship, I believe that many problems will be solved."
Wu Shaoting suddenly laughed, then asked back: "Is that true? Don't you want the Ryukyu Kingdom to be truly **?"
Shang Wentai smiled and said, "Everything is about gradual progress. As long as the head of state believes that the conditions of the despise country allow, the despise country will naturally act according to the wishes of the despise. However, since the despise country is regarded as the leader of the country, the relationship between the principal and the minister is originally a matter of one family, why do we need to divide the two families into words?"
Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "Brother Shang is so eloquent. I know it in my heart. I will discuss it carefully with Brother Shang in a few days. Now Brother Shang has just arrived in Kunming, and there are boats and cars along the way. It's more than ten days to bump into the bumps. It's better to go and rest first, and you can do things better after you have enough energy."
Shang Wentai hesitated for a moment, carefully pondering Wu Shaoting's words, for fear of missing the opportunity to restore the country because of his poor performance just now. However, at this time, Wu Shaoting had already stood up and acted like a look of seeing off guests. He didn't want to stop for a long time, so he quickly stood up and bowed to Wu Shaoting, and then left the office with the guard Changlong Yun.
When he arrived in the corridor, Shang Wentai was a little excited for a moment and couldn't help asking Long Yun beside him: "I would like to ask Lord Long, what does the words of Lord Master Yuan just mean?"
Long Yun looked at Shang Wentai's polite look and couldn't help but feel funny. He said, "Don't worry too much, you will know everything when the time comes. Please, Lord Shang." As he said that, he made a "please" gesture and took the other party downstairs from another internal staircase.
It was not until the end of June that Wu Shaoting met Shang Wentai again.
In the previous few days, he discussed in detail the plan for the restoration of Ryukyu with the National Policy Research Office and the staff of the Presidential Office. This will be the third country to assist the restoration of the Republic of China in Asia. In a broad sense, this move will further establish China's political influence in Asia and beautify China's international nature.
Therefore, no matter whether the Ryukyu Kingdom has its former ministers, or whether Shang Wentai still has his own power, Wu Shaoting will find a way to restore the country. Of course, as an island country close to Japan, Ryukyu is no less than North Korea in political and military sense. It can be said that the Ryukyu Kingdom will become China's first barrier in the southeastern waters.
However, after all, Shang Wentai has no political foundation, and it is not even strictly considered the orthodox bloodline of the Ryukyu royal family. However, the whereabouts of the Shang Dynasty are unknown, so he had to find the royal family of the sidelines to replace him. Furthermore, the national environment of the Ryukyu Kingdom is different from that of Vietnam and North Korea, and the conditions of the rulers are also very different, which makes the activity of restoring national sovereignty seem a bit tricky.
Wu Shaoting expected to build the Ryukyu Kingdom into a royal and royal family, and several islands each enfeoffed a prince and noble family to manage it, laying the foundation for the state with a system like the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty in the Middle Ages. Although doing so would lead to instability in the regime, especially the royal sovereignty supported by the Republic of China would be weakened, this was originally one of the goals.
Regardless of whether Shang Wentai is a capable person or not, the Ryukyu Kingdom will not easily break away from China's control in the next few hundred years. Vietnam and North Korea may be able to achieve more advanced development, which was expected by Wu Shaoting.
But the Ryukyu Kingdom must never easily become a truly sovereign state. China needs to use the Ryukyu Kingdom to complete the great development of military defense, economy, trade, and international transportation, and more importantly, to open up the national territorial waters. In this way, it can include the vastly praised marine resources in its hands.
Regarding the national system of the royal and Duke Federation, Wu Shaoting first established the central government of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and then enthroned several Ryukyu as King Sumitomoto. The local wealthy families in Nankagoshima were the Dukes. Except for diplomatic and constitutional subjects, the rest of the power of the Duke's fiefs was autonomous, including military power.
Of course, considering that Japan was too serious during its rule over the Ryukyu Kingdom, when appointing a candidate for a royal family, it must pay strict attention to its political background and must never let Japan think there is an opportunity. If there is really no suitable candidate, Wu Shaoting will use other means to arrange some Chinese to serve as rulers of the city-state of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Anyway, Sakamoto has no foundation, not to mention that during the previous talks, the other party had already hinted that he could imitate Vietnam's way, the so-called Vietnamese way is to hire Chinese people as zhèngfu to serve as zhèngfu officials.
In this way, it will be easier for China to control all political affairs of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and it will also be easier to suppress the pro-Japanese forces in Ryukyu. Furthermore, because the fiefdom city-states have military autonomy, China can openly cultivate military forces loyal to China in the city-state.
After meeting Shang Wentai, Wu Shaoting knew that the other party would be just timid now, so he didn't say much else, and directly got to the point and said the draft of the Ryukyu resumption plan of the Nanjing Central Committee according to the script.
