Chapter 121: Ryukyu should enter China
King Shangfeng thanked Yan Changwu for his kindness, and hosted a banquet in the main hall to entertain the people of the southeast government. Yan Changwu and King Shangfeng sat in the middle. King Shangfeng took the left side of the table to treat, and the ancients left for respect. Let the guests sit on the left to express their right. The respect of the guests, while on the right are the Ryukyu people and some Japanese Japanese.
The Ryukyu people could not expel the Japanese before they turned their faces completely.
Women are present, Ryukyu people can only speak politely, ask about Ming's situation, and talk about things that are irrelevant to the customs.
Yan Changwu and Chen Zhongji answered one by one, with a kind attitude, showing respect for the owner.
got everyone’s favor,
The Ryukyu people greeted the guests and made delicious rice, using the best rice in the palace.
There are a variety of seafood, and dishes made with fresh prawns, big fish, sea cucumbers, and shellfish are delivered.
The meat includes chicken and pork, and a low-concentration rice wine is used. I will do my best to welcome the distinguished guests!
After three rounds of wine, King Shangfeng gave Shangrang a wink, and the latter understood, and then King Shangfeng said: "Although our country lives overseas, we admire the country very much, and have always kept the treasures that the country gave to us. , My son Shang asked the warlord to take a look! Can you?"
"Good!" Yan Changwu agreed.
So the young prince Shang Rang led the way and led Yan Changwu to visit.
Where Yan Changwu went, his guards followed closely to protect him.
Those Japanese were worried about the force of the Ming people. Secondly, they were able to perform "good" and get close to the Japanese people. Forgive me they wouldn't talk nonsense, so they didn't stop them and no one followed them.
Shang Rang took Yan Changwu to the second floor of the main hall. The first floor was the reception hall of the king. On the second floor, there was a plaque inscribed by the Chinese emperor to the Ryukyu kings. He also enshrined the edict and gifts of the Ming Dynasty to the Ryukyu king. They were all properly preserved, even when the Japanese invaded, the things on the second floor were also well preserved.
The farthest edict was issued by brother Zhu Yuanzhang. It was in the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1372). The envoy Yang Zai of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sent his envoy to Ryukyu with his edict, which is called Ryukyu in the edict. Since then it has become the official name. It can be seen that even the name of the country of Ryukyu is also taken by China.
The edict saw the real thing and said: "...I was recommended by my subjects and became the emperor. I must have the title of the world called Daming, and the establishment of Hongwu. It is used to send envoys to foreigners, broadcast my intentions, and wherever the envoys come, the barbarian chiefs will be called ministers. Tribute. Weier Ryukyu, in southeastern China, is far away from overseas, and has not yet been notified. I am sending envoys to the letter, and you know that...
This edict has no threats or intimidation, except that Huaxia is in the center and uses words such as "barbarians" commonly used by Chinese emperors. It is a kind of peaceful diplomacy.
At that time, the Ryukyu Kingdom Zhongshan King Chadu first led the order, and immediately dispatched Wang’s brother Taiqi to come to China with Yang Zai and be honored as ministers.
took the name of the country, and even the king's surname was given by Ming. There is an edict in it. Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty (Zhu Zhanji, grandson of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di) gave the ruler of Ryukyu the surname "Shang".
The emperor's imperial pen and gold seal are obvious, and even though they have gone through a long time, they are still majestic and powerful!
It is enshrined in a sandalwood box, if it weren't for Yan Changwu, it should not be touched easily.
Shangrang had to wash his hands with clean water, dry his hands, and put incense on them. Only then did he solemnly ask for the imperial decree and invite Yan Changwu to watch it.
Then there is the Pi Bian (the crown) that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty just gave to the Ryukyu King. It is called the Jade Crown. The style is a Tang official hat with gold ribbons, golden hairpins and various gems. It is magnificent!
is a booklet, which is a chronicle of Ryukyu events. It is recorded in the Ming Dynasty and the calendar, and it is also in Chinese characters!
Yan Changwu looked at these items, seriously, his heart was ups and downs.
The distant sea island once owned by the ancestors---Ryukyu, which is orthodox to China and China, after more than two hundred years, was robbed by the Japanese abruptly and renamed Okinawa Prefecture!
The Ryukyu people were not reconciled. Some brave Ryukyu people committed suicide in Beijing and asked China not to abandon the Ryukyu. However, the country was difficult and China was unable to keep the Ryukyu in the end.
At the end of World War II, the international convention stated that the Ryukyu was not part of the Japanese territory, but the kingdom of Sam and the Japanese were taken as a gangster, and the Japanese eventually seized the Ryukyu.
Pain, hate domain!
Today, I, Yan Changwu, is here, Ryukyu must enter my China!
The venerated cigarettes curled up, and his thoughts were profound: once he got a name in Daming, he immediately used Daming’s name, even if he was not in the name of Daming, he also erected a monument in Ryukyu in his name, and established my Chinese name, for my China. land.
As for the way of governance, it is not a problem. I have seen one country, two systems. In the Ming Dynasty, there was also the case of Mujiashi Town in Yunnan. As long as he was named Shangjiashi Town Ryukyu, the southeast government was responsible for diplomacy and military affairs, and his internal affairs were self-determined!
In the future, those who will dare to abandon my Chinese land is a thief of the country, and the people of the day will fight it together!
Dare to seize my country of Ryukyu, to serve the enemy country and wait for the country to fight!
The third floor respects heaven and earth. In this way, heaven and earth, Daming, and Ryukyu each occupy one floor, which fully demonstrates Ryukyu’s respect for Daming!
Shang asked Yan Changwu to go up to the third floor. Everyone respected the world in the morning. He looked around and bowed down to the ground, and said, "I implore the Overseer to save me Ryukyu!"
Yan Changwu pretended to be puzzled and asked: "The Ryukyu is in harmony with each other and is friendly with Japanese people. Why are you worried?"
still let the hate whisper: "Wolves have ambitions, and the desire to annex our country is long!"
He complained bitterly about his family history. In the 37th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1609), the Tokugawa Shogunate sent Satsuma clan to invade Korea. After the Satsuma army captured Shuri King Castle, he suffered a catastrophe for seven days. All movable properties were packed in boxes. Transport away. He also captured more than a hundred people including King Sang Ning of Ryukyu to Kagoshima until September 19, 1611 (16th year of Keichang, Japan), and King Sang Ning was forced to sign the "Fifteen Articles" with the Satsuma Domain, admitting Satsuma clan's control of Ryukyu. At the same time, the five islands of Amami (that is, Kikai Island, Tokuno Island, Amami Oshima, Okinagabu Island, and Yoron Island) were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Satsuma Domain ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ before they were released and survived. In addition, Ryukyu was forced to send envoys to see the shogunate, a move called "Kamiedo." Since then, the Shimadzu clan became the master of the Sino-Ryukyu trade. The Japanese exploited Ryukyu more and more, and the Ryukyu people lived in embarrassment.
Shangren said with tears: "I respect and serve the upper country, and all the kings of the past have been appointed by the upper country. They will go to the upper country to pay tribute and never slack!"
"The Japanese kill my people, occupy my islands, take my belongings, and have antagonisms against my Ryukyu!"
"Fortunately, Mazu's mother gave the warlord to level the waves, return my land, and avenge my blood. Then my Ryukyu people will go down and be grateful!" Shang Rang kowtowed and prayed again and again, begging: "But begging for the warlord. Yes, I am waiting for the expulsion, and I will die without hesitation!"
Yan Changwu helped him up and said, "Women are despicable, and they do things that are indignant between humans and gods. This seat has long seen them not pleasing to the eye. Now that your country invites you, this seat will help you."
Shang Rang is overjoyed, grateful.
Yan Changwu said: "I have a giant ship here, killing Japanese people is like killing a dog, and leaving them to live for two days. Today, everyone celebrates. Do not use the swords and soldiers. If you visit the country tomorrow, you can do nothing for the time being. You can do it the day after tomorrow!"
He and Shang Rang made a plan, and then secretly said that Shang Rang said: "If there is chaos in the army, and those who are unavoidable, you can hold my jade to hide from the warship."
Yan Changwu admires Shang Rang more and feels that he is talented. If something happens, he can be established as a new monarch, so he can be taken care of.
Everyone discussed and went down to the first floor. The host persuaded him to drink, and the guests thanked the guests for their kindness and went away happily.
It was night, the flagship left Hong Kong, and Yan Changwu stayed in the open sea.
Safety comes first. For his safety, Southeast Mansion is always vigilant to ensure his safety.
