After some intimidation, the Ryukyu nobles finally gave in.
Rather than intimidation, it is the power of culture.
In other words, the long-standing Confucian culture and the strong influence of the Ming Dynasty made them believe from the bottom of their hearts that the Ming Dynasty was the best place in the world.
As for Ryukyu, in their view, it is a remote island that is often harassed by the islands. Now that the Shimazu family has become the emperor, they might as well sell it at a good price.
I would rather be a captive bird in Beijing than suffer in Ryukyu.
Just like in certain eras, selling your courtyard house and going to the United States was an unusual thought.
Zheng Sen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Recently, he let Donghai Navy wander around Kyushu Island, but he shouldered a lot of responsibilities.
Once the two countries go to war, it will be a major war with tens of thousands of casualties, which cannot be ignored.
Zheng Zhilong complained a lot: "Son, this is affecting our family's business."
The Zheng family spans the sea, but they have no way to deal with the closed-door Japan. They are on the weak side. If they offend Japan too harshly, they will suffer heavy losses.
So when Zheng Zhilong learned that officials from Nagasaki came to inquire, he immediately backed down.
If it weren't for Zheng Sen's strong pressure, he would have run away long ago.
However, the results are gratifying.
He successfully completed his goal and forced the Ryukyu Kingdom to annex peacefully, which made Ming Dynasty lose face among its vassal countries.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Zheng Sen solemnly promised: "The imperial court will never live up to Ryukyu's sacrifice, and Wang Jue naturally deserves it."
"You also have the appropriate titles and rewards. If you are willing to stay in Ryukyu, I can recommend you to become an official without losing your power."
After making the promise, the Ryukyu Kingdom handed over its newly restored power and immediately entered into a reform charter.
The Ryukyu Kingdom has Ryukyu Prefecture, with a total of three counties, namely Shanbei, Shanzhong and Shannan. The prefectural government is at Shuri Castle.
The tense situation in the Kyushu region has gradually eased as the density of naval patrols in the East China Sea has decreased.
Regarding this, Zhu Jing couldn't help but ask to see Zheng Sen, clenching her fists: "Angel Zheng, what's the point of us wandering around Kagoshima? Why don't we go up to them and teach the Japanese a lesson, so that they can become vassals and pay tribute."
Although Japan is said to be a country that cannot be conquered by Taizu, it has always been unruly and has never surrendered.
Of course, the Japanese succumbed to the strong. The Yuan Dynasty conquered Japan several times and was beaten to pieces. So much so that Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sent envoys to Japan to declare his tribute, and all the envoys were killed.
The later Japanese pirates and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's delusions were all sequelae of this Kamikaze Sentai.
This is the consequence of the loss of prestige of the Chinese Celestial Empire.
However, after the Imjin Japanese Rebellion and the defeat in the Korean War, Japan once again had a wave of Zhu Xi's Confucianism, and its attitude towards China became much better.
In the view of Zhu Jing and others, Japan's attitude is not consistent with its status. Although its territory is not small, its population is not as large as that of North Korea. It is so unruly that there are five or six people across the strait.
This kind of country needs to be taught a lesson to understand the depth of it.
Emperor Shaowu ascended the throne and announced his announcement to the world. Many vassal states came to pay tribute, but Japan only congratulated him.
Zheng Sen sat down, looked at the young deputy envoy, and warned seriously: "Japan is now ruled by the Edo shogunate, which occupies a quarter of the Japanese archipelago, and the rest is occupied by three hundred vassals."
"The shogunate has more than 80,000 elite banners directly under its jurisdiction, and more than 200,000 reinforcements of various types."
"Do you think we can defeat Japan with the strength of these thousand infantrymen and the navy?"
As the last shogunate in Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate is also the most powerful shogunate. The legacy of the Warring States Period still exists, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
The Zheng family knew the situation in Japan best and respected the Tokugawa shogunate.
In the Korean War, Japan had proven its strength.
"Then we can only let it go?"
A trip to Ryukyu to watch Zheng Sen's one-man show made Zhu Jing quite jealous.
"Not urgent!"
Zheng Sen shook his head and chuckled: "When Liaodong is pacified and the imperial court is free, Japan will no longer be in trouble."
Zhu Jing could only give in to this.
The turmoil in East Asia has finally calmed down after half a month.
As a result, Ryukyu was annexed, the Shimadzu family surrendered, and Japan ignored it.
For the Ming Dynasty, before Liaodong was pacified, order in the east was good, which was the best thing.
Since then, the fifteen unconquered countries during the Taizu period, including Ryukyu and Big Ryukyu, have been included in the imperial court, and Taiwan Prefecture and Ryukyu Prefecture have been established.
Considering that the tens of thousands of people in Ryukyu Prefecture could not support the Donghai Navy Headquarters, Zheng Zhilong had to return with most of them, leaving only a few small boats to act as a facade to form the Ryukyu Navy.
Just like Taiwan's Penghu Navy, its chief officer is a guerrilla general or a general who guards one side.
Not long after the Ryukyu Prefecture was established, the Taiwan Prefecture sent people to do business, sell food and other things, and even repair docks and docks as a base for trade with Japan.
At this time, there was also a lively scene in the capital.
Kang Wang Li Zijing surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, moved his tribes in Qinghai, and gave up the Qinghai area.
As a result, the imperial court established the Qinghai Xingdu Division to restrain these nomadic tribes and establish a governance system in a military and political manner.
Following the methods of the Monan area, each tribe was divided into three levels: hundreds of households, deputy thousand households, and thousands of households. The pastures were further divided, Buddhism was respected, and soldiers were recruited. After several measures, they immediately settled down. .
It was precisely for this reason that the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, who had been invited four years after Shaowu's reign, walked all the way north from Lhasa to the capital with a large number of entourages.
This journey will take half a year.
By the time they arrived in Beijing, the grass was already growing and the willows were clinging to their wings.
However, it’s not too late to have a good meal.
At this time, the Gelug Sect has become a veritable ruling sect in the snowy area. Naturally, the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, as leaders of the Gelug Sect, are also respected by Buddhism in Qinghai, Gansu, Hetao, Monan and other places.
For such two great monks, both their influence and their moral knowledge are worthy of Zhu Yixi's warm hospitality.
The thirty-five-year-old fifth Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, was awarded the "Duo'er Jisheng" (meaning "Vajra Holder") by Emperor Wanli. Now he is also honored as "the leader of the Great Compassionate Buddha in the West." The common Buddhist in the world is the Dalai Lama Watchi La Tala."
He was also named "Dharma King of Holy Consciousness."
Give a gold seal and a gold book.
formally established its religious status.
The fourth Panchen Lama, Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen, was conferred by Gushi Khan, so his status was felt to be inferior.
However, he was also honored as "Panchen Erdeni" by the emperor.
He was conferred the title of "Dharma King of Great Virtue" and was given a gold seal and a gold book.
The Dharma King is the highest status among monks, and the two eminent monks were overjoyed.
In order to show his respect for Buddhism, the emperor built a large-scale temple near Yuquan Mountain as early as last year as the residence of the two lamas.
ps: The titles given to Buddhist monks in the Ming Dynasty were, from high to low, nine levels: Dharma King, Western Heaven Buddha, Great Imperial Master, Imperial Master, Zen Master, Du Gang, Jueyi, Lecturer, and Lama.
