Zhu Yunwen stood in the west wind, and the cold wind blew the corners of his clothes.
The chamberlain Shuangxi looked at Zhu Yunwen who had been standing there for a long time, worried, but did not dare to step forward without authorization to interrupt Zhu Yunwen's thinking.
No one knew what the emperor of Ming Dynasty was thinking at this time. There was only an oppressive silence that made the surrounding space even colder.
From afternoon, to dusk, to night.
Zhu Yunwen didn't stop thinking until he saw the lonely starry sky.
The identity of ancient and modern people is not important. He is just a wild wolf hiding in the dark. He cannot change his political strategy, nor can he influence the loyalty of the army. He is just a poor conspirator, under the banner of revenge. , sending a group of people to hell again, that's all.
As the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to be led by a wild wolf and expand the power uncontrollably to conduct a thorough investigation, affecting more families and people.
Literary prison does not need to exist, and it does not need to exist. All that needs to be done now is to sail the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty to the deep blue!
How the Three Ryukyu Kingdoms became the territory of the Ming Dynasty is a difficult problem to solve. After all, the Zhongshan Kingdom offended the Ming Dynasty, while the Shannan Kingdom and the Shanbei Kingdom were very honest and hit people with sticks, which was unpopular.
Zhu Yunwen was not worried about the outcome. The naval force was so large and the equipment was so advanced. Not to mention occupying the Three Ryukyu Kingdoms, it was not impossible to go directly north to Sakai Port and kill Kitayama.
But reality is not just about the results, nor is it unimportant whether the process is just. Only by standing on the moral high ground can there be fewer hidden dangers.
Pang Huan is a talented person, not to mention a bit psychologically gloomy, he is also very good at sowing dissension, smart and knows how to handle things. He should be able to find a suitable solution.
The waves hit the rocks and stirred up countless waves.
Liuqiu, Shanbei Kingdom.
King Pan'anzhi is a man who relies on his bravery and cruelty, while the minister Ben Pingyuan is even more brave and highly valued.
Headquarters Pingyuan was inspecting the city defenses when they suddenly received news that envoys from the Ming Dynasty had arrived. They were shocked and quickly welcomed them in person, and sent someone to inform Pan'an.
Navy Xu An and Security Bureau Pang Huan led 20 sergeants into Quy Nhon City.
Faced with the inquiries from the headquarters, Xu An responded politely, while Pang Huan secretly observed the defense layout of Quy Nhon City. It has to be said that the terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a city that is difficult to conquer. The difficulty here is only for Zhongshan and Shannan Kingdoms.
Entering the palace, Pan Anzhi did not dare to neglect and received the Ming envoys ceremoniously.
Pan'an didn't know the purpose of the Ming envoy's visit, so he was a little worried.
Xu An glanced at Pang Huan and said to Pan Anzhi: "I think the king must have heard about the changes in Zhongshan Kingdom and Shannan Kingdom. We came here this time so that the Ryukyu Kingdom can remain peaceful and the people will no longer have wars. The harm, the pain of harsh government.”
Pan'anzhi looked at Xu An and said in a deep voice: "Do you want me to coordinate and promote a truce between Zhongshan Kingdom and Shannan Kingdom?"
Xu An shook his head slightly and said seriously: "That's not the case. Wu Ning of Zhongshan State is hiding the Chen Zuyi Pirates, and the emperor has ordered the navy fleet to invite Wu Ning to the capital. But after the navy arrived, they discovered that Wu Ning After his death, the king of Zhongshan Kingdom became Shang Sishao..."
Pan'anzhi knew these things, and the entire Daliuqiu Island was not that big, so it was impossible for him to be unaware of such earth-shattering things.
Xu An continued: "The navy wants to go back to resume its duties, but the Ming Dynasty does not like Shang Sixiao, the king of Zhongshan Kingdom. King Pan'anzhi, do you understand what we mean?"
Pan'anzhi's eyes shone and he became excited. With some reason, he asked: "Please give the ambassador Xu a clear explanation."
Xu An didn't speak, just smiled.
Pang Huan coughed and said with a straight face: "King Pan'anzhi is not as smart and powerful as the rumors say. He can't even understand the Ming Dynasty's intention without seeing the situation clearly. In this case, let's go back. Daboqi, the brother of King Wang Yingzu of Shannan Kingdom, and his son Talumu are both smart. If you choose them, you can also stabilize Ryukyu."
Xu An suppressed his smile and saluted Pan'anzhi: "Then let's say goodbye. If King Pan'anzhi comes to the capital in the future, let's talk more about it."
Pan'anzhi became anxious and quickly left the two of them behind: "We know the intention of the Ming Dynasty, so why bother to look for Daboqi and Talumei again. Haha, the Shanbei Kingdom is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but there are differences in the Celestial Empire. We I will do it without hesitation. I would also like to ask the two envoys to sit down and talk in detail, so that Shanbei Kingdom can relieve the worries of the Celestial Empire."
Pingyuan, the headquarters of the emperor, tried his best to persuade him to stay: "As long as the heaven gives orders, we will be devastated."
Both Pan'anzhi and Benbu Pingyuan understand that this is an excellent opportunity for the rise of Shanbei Kingdom.
Four years ago, Pan'anzhi showed his ambition, which was to unify the Ryukyu Islands. He often trained his troops to enter the Zhongshan Kingdom. However, the Zhongshan Kingdom was not weak at the time. In addition, Pan'anzhi had a lot of harsh policies, which led to the failure of the government. The Jiji, Kunigami, and Nago rebelled directly from the Shanbei Kingdom and surrendered to the Zhongshan Kingdom.
This is the pain of Pan'anzhi, the pain of Shanbei Kingdom.
Pan'anzhi saw Shang Bazhi entering Shuri Castle and saw Wu Ning being killed, but there was no movement for a long time because although Shuri Castle of Zhongshan Kingdom fell into the hands of Shang Sishao and Shang Bazhi, there was no way to lead to Shuri Castle. The road has not been opened, and the strength of the Zhongshan Kingdom's local authorities has not been damaged. They will not give way to the Shanbei Kingdom to make way for the south.
I originally thought that there would be no chance for Shanbei Kingdom in this change of hometown, but the arrival of the Ming Dynasty envoy changed everything.
As long as it gets the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Shanbei Kingdom will turn from the weakest to the strongest, sweep away the Zhongshan Kingdom and Shannan Kingdom in one fell swoop, and realize the complete unification of the Ryukyu Island. What are the three mountain kingdoms? There can only be one country here!
After Pan'anzhi left Xu An and Pang Huan behind, he entertained them with food and drinks, and then winked at Pingyuan.
Ben Pingyuan understood clearly, and asked while drinking, "What considerations did the Celestial Empire have in choosing Shanbei Kingdom?"
Pang Huan is indifferent, choosing you is a shame for you, what else can he consider?
Xu An smiled like a smiling man and explained: "Wuning of the Zhongshan Kingdom took in the Chen Zuyi Pirates. He should have been sent to the capital to be punished by the emperor, but someone took the lead and killed Wu Ning. We It is difficult for the navy to do business when they return. Not to mention, who are Shang Sishao and Shang Bazhi? They are rebels and traitors. They were originally ministers of the Shannan Kingdom, but they killed Wang Yingzu. How could the Ming Dynasty tolerate them? …”
Pan'an Zhi and Benbu Pingyuan repeatedly said yes.
It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty wanted to choose a spokesperson from the Ryukyu Sanshan Kingdom. Shang Sishao and Shang Bazhi of the Zhongshan Kingdom were not within the scope of Ming's consideration. As for Daboqi and Talumei of the Shannan Kingdom, they were also Because he lost his strength and was not favored by the Ming Dynasty, he could only choose Shanbei Kingdom.
If this is the case, then Shanbei Kingdom should take on everything.
Pan'anzhi's ambition was revived again.
Motobu Pingyuan lamented and said in embarrassment: "We are very willing to serve China, but now our strength is insufficient. I wonder if China can provide some help?"
Xu An was about to speak when he was interrupted by Pang Huan: "Help, you want Ming's sergeants to participate in the war? Oh, if it is convenient for Ming to participate in the war, you still need to take action."
Honbu Pingyuan also knows this truth, but considering the current strength of the Shanbei Kingdom, if they directly raise troops to fight, not to mention the local strength of the Zhongshan Kingdom, even Shang Bazhi cannot defeat it...
Pan Anzhi frowned.
Seeing this, Xu An scolded Pang Huan: "Our sergeants cannot participate in the war, but it does not mean that we cannot help the loyal King of Shanbei and his sergeants. Give them some firearms. Isn't it difficult to win the war?"
"Firearm, what is that?"
Pan Anzhi was a little confused.
At this time, a young official named Shilou stood up and explained to Pan Anzhi: "I once heard about firearms when I was studying in the Imperial Academy. The book records that their sound is like thunder, and it is powerful enough to split gold and break stones." , frightening the soul, killing in the flesh, and killing all those who stand in its way, it is the most mysterious weapon of the Ming Dynasty."
Pan Anzhi took a deep breath, there is such a powerful weapon?
If firearms can really be obtained, the Shanbei Kingdom can still win without the Ming Dynasty sergeants participating in the battle.
Pang Huan disagreed: "Firearms are the national weapons of the Ming Dynasty. How can we give them to them? If they leak the secret, we will behead them."
Xu An looked at Pan'an Zhi, Benbu Pingyuan and others, and said seriously: "The Navy can provide you with some firearms called grenades, but you cannot let the sergeants, the people, or the enemy know that these are Ming Dynasty firearms."
Pan Anzhi thought that Daming wanted to do good things but didn't want to leave his name behind, so he immediately agreed: "No problem, just say this is the treasure we got from the Dragon Palace to help us destroy the enemy."
Ryugu belief is one of the important beliefs in the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Some Ryukyu people believe that there is a Dragon Palace on the other side of the sea. Whenever a person dies, his soul will go to the Dragon Palace to bless his living relatives with safety, wealth and good harvests.
Taken from Dragon Palace, it can fool many people.
Xu An and Pang Huan sang along and started the arms business directly. They sent boxes of 800 grenades to Pan'anzhi, and demonstrated the operation essentials and demonstrated their power.
Pan'anzhi, the king of Shanbei Kingdom, became more ambitious after receiving military assistance from the Daming Navy. He mobilized for three days and personally led four thousand troops to capture Yibo City. He won in one battle and headed straight for the famous city of Anqing.
Shang Sishao of Shuri Castle was panicked when he heard the news, and quickly sent someone to transfer Shang Bazhi back from the south.
Shang Bazhi delayed his return until he attacked Guzhichuan City and completely occupied Shannan Kingdom before withdrawing his troops. At this point, Zhongshan Kingdom no longer had any worries to the south.
But Shang Bashi's return was a little late. When Shang Bashi returned to Shuri Castle, Pan'an Zhi and Motobu Pingyuan had already led their troops to occupy Urasoe Castle, facing Shuri Castle more than 30 miles away.
Just when Shang Sixao and Shang Bazhi were anxious and solemnly preparing for the battle in Pan'anzhi, Xu An and Pang Huan once again "went on an envoy" and arrived at Shuri City.
Shang Sishao and Shang Bazhi were extremely nervous about the Ming Dynasty's envoys, and did not dare to show any slights. When they heard that they were coming, they immediately put aside their royal pretensions and ran outside the city to greet them...

I came back too late from a business trip, so I can only update once today, and I will start making up for it tomorrow.
