The small Ryukyu Islands, once appeared in the South Mountain, Zhongshan, North Mountain three countries, but now has been unified for 76 years, because the eastern trade throughput should be the largest Ming Empire has been banned from the sea, the important role of the Ryukyu as a maritime trade transit point in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia has not yet been reflected, so this small country has not yet aroused the coveted heart of ambitious.

The capital city of the Ryukyu Kingdom is the capital, and the emperor of Xuande five years has given the surname of the king of Ryukyu to Shang, and since then the king of Ryukyu has been surnamed.At present, the name of the Ryukyu King is still true, but the national phase is a showman moved by Daming Jianning Province.

Although the country is very small, but Daming for the country to make the most of the etiquette, not to mention the visit is a prince, Zhejiang cloth government envoy placed him in a luxurious official.

The big car arrived at the door, and the Ryukyu Prince had stood respectfully in front of the door.Yang Ling because he is to meet with the national guest, so the python jade belt, the whole deputy of the honor of the guard, coupled with the outstanding quality of people, this sound is big enough.

In contrast, the Ryukyu Prince, looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, the stature of the dwarves, the face of Li Hei, only a pair of eyes is very divine.Yang Ling put down the eight-car-lifting car, and saw at a glance that the Ryukyu country son was wearing a robe of a former man in his body, but his hair was combed into a Dongyan hairstyle, which seemed unscrupulous and did not feel a thorny.

Although she tried to understand the situation of the Ryukyus as much as possible, and did not tire of telling him, but the Ryukyus' dress, eating habits, these unrelated things she did not know so detailed.

The Ryukyus use Chinese characters as official characters, but the spoken language is similar to Japanese, so they are accompanied by the world's son Shangqing, in addition to a tribute, a chief ambassador, and a translator who knows the official language of Da Ming.

The prince's hands were together, and he said a few words to Yang Ling with a Buddha ceremony.The translator hurriedly came up to him and said, “Lord, the prince said that you are very grateful to have come to visit him, and you have missed the welcome, please forgive me.”

Yang Ling smiled and said, "The world does not have to be polite, the official went to Suzhou and heard that the son is here, so he came to visit before."Oh, although this is a museum, now the son is the master, don't you ask me to go in and have a cup of tea?"

The translator knew that Yang Ling was joking, so he repeated it with a smile on his face, and he hurriedly invited Yang Ling to enter the house.

This house is old-of-the-way, and Jiangnan is full of rhyme.The brick-carrying door.The blue bricks are extremely luxurious.Into the yard, the powder wall Dewa, a quiet.The hall loft platform eaves, carved beams and paintings, the lotus pool under the false mountain.A pool of water, even the sun has a little spring.

Yang Ling and the monk Qing Shizi walked while talking, saying a few words of instant, let the translator give a translator.Both sides entered the "Cong Gui Hall".The principal sat in the hat chair of the yellow pear wood, and Yang Ling asked Qing Shang Qing's son to inquire about the lifting of the ban on Da Ming's opening and opening of the sea, and told him the plan of Da Ming's national policy and the future trade and trade.

Still clear to hear the details of the interpreter, can not help but rejoice, to know that the Ryukyus are completely dependent on the big Ming, before the Ming did not trade with the East, they will be East of the goods to buy to use the opportunity of tribute to sell to Daming, and then from the Daming to buy back things to sell to the East.Dependence on intermediate trade.

If Daming and Dongyi directly trade, their livelihood will be gone, after coming to Jiangnan, although the local officials saluted him, but the responsible officials were all busy with the preparation of each gate, there was no time to answer him, this is the first time from the mouth of Daming Qin to hear the official full news.

Still Qing Qing looked at a thick and straight young man, but very business-minded.They were originally sold to Daming silver, lacquer, swords, screens and fans.Chinese medicinal materials, porcelain, silk, copper money were resold to Dongyi and North Korea.

Now that I have heard the clear-cut policy, it is still a clear calculation.Although the business of Dongyi and North Korea can not be done, but at that time, it is not easy to ship at sea, many small Southeast countries do not have the ability to sail, even if the sea ban, they can only look forward to sigh, and the Ryukyu is in between, they can undertake the southeast countries of rhino horn, spices, tin, sugar, ivory, **, dragon aromatic and other goods and Ming Dynasty trading, and then buy Daming ceramics, lacquer and silk back.

Shang Qing's heart was very happy, so he did not lose time to mention the Ryukyu country's desire to do business with Da Ming, Yang Ling smiled and said: "This is easy, the sky is inclusive, Ryukyu has always been the kingdom of heaven, you come to do business, we are welcome."

Yang Lington, seemed to inadvertently say: "If the son of the world still wants to know the details, you can understand the chief executive of the Haicheng City, the chief of the Datuk Gu, the official came to Jiangnan this time, mainly for the sea."

Still clear, the face tightened, hurriedly asked: "Gangko came to the coast of Daming again to attack and loot?"

Yang Ling listened to the interpreter's inquiry and smiled, "Yes, in order not to be affected by pirates, the East Anguo countries are now clamoring for the pirates, the pirates have nowhere to hide, only to wander at sea, yes, the official has been informed of the DPRK, Luzon and other countries to strengthen their armaments, in order to prevent pirates from landing, originally thought your country is closer to the East, should have been early to get the news, you can beware?" 」

Still pale, nervously said: "Our country ... small country, there is no standing army, only a royal palace guard, the total number of not more than three thousand people, if the attack, we are difficult to resist."

Yang Ling listened, sighed, shook his head: "It is difficult, now a few huge sea giants gathered together, the total number of no less than 20,000 people, they have no place to sit, I am afraid ... coveted in your country, that is inevitable."

Shang Qing said nervously, "I would have wanted to go to Beijing to hajj to your majesty tomorrow, it seems that I must go home now, I am very worried about my father and my family."

Yang Ling patted his thighs and said, “Now pirates are too rampant, alas!”Full of stabbed Canada...he, the son of the world knows the country full of stabbed Canada, right?They had just recently been captured by the 400-member Western pirates of the district, and the king had fled to the island of the sea, and the palace minister could not even find the king.

Could the big day be tomorrow to watch their own country be bullied?He did not fill the sword-seeking book with the king's gold seal.My great teacher is nameless tomorrow, poor... Even the princess and the princess have been bullied by the robbers and become slaves, and the official is really sad, and when the officer visits Guangdong, he will send people out to sea to find the king of the country, hoping that he will still be safe and sound.”

The world's son still can't sit still, he just got a family this year, the world's concubine is a famous little beauty on the islands of Ryukyu.In his heart, his loving wife is like a pearl in the deep sea, and when he thinks of his cozy wife, he may become a cruel and despicable female slave, who is destroyed by them, and still has a feeling of cutting his heart.

He hurriedly begged, "Lord Qin sent, Ryukyu country is the most loyal courtier of Daming, we pay tribute every year and age."Constinct to the duties of the great Ming courtiers, the succession of each generation of kings, personally to the next day to be sealed, and now our country is in danger of being occupied by pirates, and also ask the Lord to look at the loyalty of the country to heaven and earth.Ask His Majesty the Emperor to send the aid of the soldiers.”

Yang Ling hesitated: “This...” He frowned with a difficult face and said, “The son of the world, it is not the official who refuses to help.”One, without the invitation of the king of your country, this . . .

Shang Qingxi said: "This is a good job, the aguro has also intruded on us, we have long ago to the sky to ask for the rescue of soldiers, I immediately rushed home, asked the father to enter the table again, imploring the emperor's majesty to send troops."

Yang Ling covered his mouth and coughed.Slow Shili said: "The world's son should not be in a hurry, do not hurry, the Tian Dynasty Marine Division is also responsible for chasing pirates around, can pull out the ground force is limited, and then say the garrison to protect the island, how to get 17,000 people, so many people want to eat and drink, the delivery of heavy grain and grass cargo ships are not allowed to leave the port every day?"Even though the power is strong.Some of them don’t eat.”

Still a little calculated.The expenditure of nearly twenty thousand troops is indeed enough for the Ryukyus to drink a pot.But what is this compared to the danger of the dead?In addition, it is said that Daming is about to open up the sea for trade, and there is such a large army stationed there, and the merchant ships of the southern countries dare to be rest assured to anchor in their port of Naha.

Ryukyus, whether it is extracting tariffs or selling goods in the middle, huge gains are still very rich after paying military expenses, and the Ming Army is stationed there, once defeated by the Ming Dynasty, it is bound to refuse to rest, which is more cost-effective than raising 20,000 troops.

Thinking of this, Shang Qinghuan stood up and said: "This matter adults do not need to worry, the Tian Dynasty Marine is to protect our country, this money and grain weight naturally has our country to pay."

He also hesitated, simply bowed his robe to the ground, lamented: "The small country of Ryukyu is in danger of dying in the hands of pirates at any time, I have heard that the adult is the emperor's most favored minister, please be pitied, we must help us."

“All right!”Yang Ling picked up still Qing and said with emotion: "Since the son of the world said so, I immediately wrote a secret play to the emperor, as for your country..."

Shang Qing said without hesitation, “I will return home immediately, ask my father the letter of help, and personally send it to the Great Mingjing Master.”

Yang Ling put on a smiley face and said, "Well, it is urgent, then the world will return home as soon as possible, and I will immediately go back to deal with this matter."

He was grateful, he gave a gift, and sent Yang Ling out of the house.

Although Yang Ling's move has damaged a little, he can't help it, although this is beneficial to Daming, in fact, it is also more beneficial to the Ryukyus than the harm, at least the big Ming did not annex their black hearts, and this region's small country left there, there is no strong country to protect, being annexed to the dead country is sooner or later.

The reason why Yang Ling is as the position, the purpose is only to change the initiative to send troops for the invitation to send troops, so that in the future when the Minglu security treaty is formulated, as far as possible to grasp the initiative, so as not to have problems one day.

Yang Lingxing rushed back to the Qin sent a trip, just as soon as he entered the living room, he saw a member of the armed man rushing to come to him to salute him, and shouted in a loud voice: "The lower official Jiangnan Province commanded the affairs of Min Wenjian, see Weiwuhou, the right pillar of the national dragon and tiger general, the inner factory Admiral Qin Chao Yang!"

Yang Ling said, lifting him up, and punched him in the chest and smiled, “Mr. Min, we still talk about these rules?”

Min Wenjian stood up and smiled, “First public and then private, let’s talk about public affairs first, then talk about personal relations, so big people do it well.”

Yang Ling laughed loudly: "Mr. Min has been to Jiangnan since, this knowledge can be seen, the idiom is more and more standard, the adult governance of Tunda is extremely effective, after the harvest this autumn, the first work of this grain change, you are a member of the Min adult."

Cheng Qian Yun has met, smiled and stood on the side, waiting for the two old friends to be warm, and then interjected: "Adults, Gangnam Province is commanded to make Bai praises the white adults and ... the Marine Corps teaches Peng Fugui Peng Qian for a long time."

Yang Ling then noticed that there was still a thin, fifty-year-old military attaché standing in the hall, and there was a burly old man with a stature such as a leopard, a heavy date, and a burly old man with silver hair, Yang Ling hurriedly smiled: "Mr. Bai, Peng Qian, this official saw old friends for a while forgetting, disrespectful and disrespectful."

Although the white praise is as clear as a book student, he is also a veteran of the army, he meticulously saw Yang Ling according to the military ceremony, the pirate king of thousands of Peng shark also came forward to see, look at the situation is indeed a tiger general.

Yang Ling and the two of them were cold and clamoring for a few more, please take a few people back to take a seat, and Bai Zhen praised him: "Mr. Yang, this Jiangnan has been to open the ban in addition to Kaihai, presumably to clean up the yaku?"

Yang Lingyi said: "It is, in fact, the two are two and one, one and two, the relationship between the two, the ark does not remove the sea ban is difficult to open, and recently forced to the east of the country to blow up the wind very tight, has all fled to the coast of Daming, even if not to understand the ban, but also pay attention to how to prevent their intrusion."

White praised and smiled: "The adults said very well, the subordinates of the subordinates of the water master originally only patrolled the offshore, and used a smooth but late blessing ship, not so much that they are marine water masters, but rather the reality of the inner lake water master, the difference is not small."

Now Longjiang Shipyard has built a number of new warships for delivery and use, Peng Qian is always good at sea operations, learning, not long ago, we also according to the orders issued by the Ministry of War, held a naval war trial, the Marine Division's combat strength increased, in previous years, the wind came, the attack is constant, the officers are on the coast, I heard that this year, the officials must make some adjustments, the officials must make some adjustments.morale.”
