Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

The commander saluted the Ryukyu King, and then hurriedly ran outside.

After a while, the commander of the guards opened the palace gate and ran to Zhao Wen.

"Your Majesty, please go in." The commander said respectfully to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen turned around and said to Zhao Daniu: "You lead a few guards and follow me in, the rest of the people are waiting here."

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he followed the guards and headed towards the depths of the palace.

Zhao Daniu led several personal guards and followed closely behind Zhao Wen.

Not long after, Zhao Wen came to the main hall of the Ryukyu Palace led by the guards.

Ryukyu Wang Shangfeng, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Zhao Wen who came in, and hurriedly greeted Zhao Wen, "The general of the Heavenly Dynasty came, but Xiao Wang failed to meet him from a distance. I hope the general will not blame you."

Because Ryukyu was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Ryukyu king and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also proficient in Chinese.

Zhao Wen cupped his hands at Shang Feng, and said indifferently: "It's okay, Your Highness is the Ryukyu King conferred by Ming Dynasty, and I should be the one who came to pay respects to the King."

"The general is out." Shang Feng was modest, and then shouted to the guards on both sides of the hall: "Come here, give the general a seat."

As soon as Shang Feng finished speaking, a guard hurried over with a chair and put it behind Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen was not polite, and sat directly on the chair.

Zhao Daniu and his personal guard stood behind Zhao Wen, looking quite imposing.

Seeing this, Shang Feng also returned to the throne.

"May I ask if the general came to my Ryukyu under the imperial edict of His Majesty?" Shang Feng asked.

Zhao Wen shook his head and said, "No, I came this time because I heard that the King of Ryukyu was oppressed by the Satsuma, so I came here to resolve this matter for the King of Ryukyu."

Shang Feng was startled, a leading general came to Ryukyu without an imperial decree, which was strange no matter how you looked at it.

"May I ask where the general is?" Shang Feng continued to ask.

Zhao Wen didn't answer directly, but instead asked: "Is this important to you? Now that I have expelled Samopan for you, you will be able to rest easy in Ryukyu from now on, why should you care about these things?"

"The general's words are wrong. If I don't know where the general is stationed and the general's name is taboo, I can't write the document to express my gratitude to the court. Please don't hide it."

Cai Xu stood up, looked at Zhao Wen, and said calmly.

Zhao Wen chuckled, "You don't need to write the paperwork, the imperial court doesn't even know that I came here, and the imperial court also doesn't know what I did.

The court knows nothing about what I did, and I don't want the court to know. "

Shang Feng was shocked when he heard Zhao Wen's words.

"This man is so courageous. He dared to lead troops out of the country without a will. This is a felony for rebelling against the Jiu Clan."

Although Shang Feng was horrified in his heart, he still looked calm on the surface, "The little king can't understand the general's words. The general is the general of the imperial court. Why doesn't the imperial court know what the general is doing?"

Zhao Wen waved his hand, and said calmly: "Although I am a general, I am not a general of the imperial court, I am just my own general."

As soon as Zhao Wen's words fell, the whole hall was filled with the sound of gasping for air.

Why does this person's words sound a bit like the words of a rebellious minister?Or is this person trying to rebel?

Shang Feng looked at Zhao Wen who didn't change his face, and his heart beat violently.

After finally avoiding the wolf's den of Samofan, he didn't expect that he was about to enter the tiger's den.

Shang Feng hurriedly said: "Why can't I understand what the general said? Why did the general say these words?"

Zhao Wen stood up directly from the chair, looked around, and finally set his eyes on the Ryukyu King.

"Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I want you to surrender to me, do you agree?" Zhao Wen put his hands behind his back and said with disdain.

As soon as Zhao Wen said this, everyone in the hall was shocked.

If the words just now sounded like rebellious traitors and ministers, then these words are blatantly rebellious words.

Shang Feng's right hand was tightly grasped on the armrest of the throne. He pretended to be calm and said: "Xiao Wang has always surrendered to Daming, and regards Daming as his suzerain. The envoys went to the capital to congratulate, Xiao Wang has always surrendered to Daming."

Shang Feng pretended not to understand what Zhao Wen said, and looked at Zhao Wen blankly.

"Hehe!" Zhao Wen smiled lightly and shook his head, then looked at Shang Feng, "You don't have to fight with me anymore, I'm talking about surrendering to me, not what you said."

Cai Xu jumped out from the side, pointed at Zhao Wen, and said angrily, "Are you planning to rebel?"

"When did I say I was going to rebel?" Zhao Wen glanced at Cai Xu lightly and said disapprovingly.

"You want my king to submit to you, this is treasonous words.

My king was personally conferred by Emperor Hongwu, and even the title of Ryukyu was bestowed by Emperor Hongwu, and it has been passed down for nearly 300 years.

You are just a general, what qualifications do you have to make my king submit to you? Cai Xu pointed at Zhao Wen, his face was full of anger.

"Hehe, well said, well said. What you said makes sense, so can you tell me why you surrendered to Samofan in the first place?

You don’t need to tell me anything else, I will ask you one last question, to surrender or not to surrender?I can handle Samofan, let alone you? "

Zhao Wen glanced at Cai Xu contemptuously, and then looked at Shang Feng.

Shang Feng looked at Zhao Wen's posture and kept thinking.

Now the general obviously wants to rebel, just from his words.

If the general had no intention of rebelling, why did he say these words?Moreover, he led the troops out of the country privately and came to Ryukyu.

Under normal circumstances, if the vassal state did not ask for help from Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty would not send troops under normal circumstances.

And the general in front of him not only sent troops, but also made himself surrender to him. Isn't this trying to rebel? What is this?

If he doesn't agree, if this person can destroy Satsuma's army in Ryukyu, then he will definitely be able to destroy himself.

If people don't take Emperor Daming seriously, even if I write a letter to tell Emperor Ming, it probably won't help, and maybe it will anger him.

But if you agree, who knows if there will be any other moths in the future.

What if this person's request is more excessive than that of Samofan?Wouldn't that push Ryukyu to a dead end?

"Have you thought about it? I don't have the patience to wait for you for several days, and now my army is outside." Zhao Wen said calmly.

Sweat continued to flow from Shangfeng's forehead.

"What's this called? I just want to live a peaceful life. Who have I provoked? I used to submit to Daming and surrendered well, but suddenly a Samopan came.

Now that Samofan is gone, another unknown Ming general has come and made himself surrender to him, and he still doesn't know his name. "

Shang Feng felt extremely bitter in his heart. He looked at Zhao Wen and kept weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "Oh, I don't seem to have any other choice."

After Ryukyu Wang Shangfeng said these words, he sat on the throne like a deflated balloon, his eyes full of loneliness.

"In that case, then I will resign, and there will be no Samofan soldiers on the island in the future.

In Shuri City, I will also leave heavy soldiers to protect you, so you can live in peace.

As for the details in the future, let's talk about it after a while. I have something to do now, so I won't bother the king.

By the way, I forgot to tell you my identity.My name is Zhao Wen, the chief soldier of Xuanzhen. "

With a smile on his face, Zhao Wen bowed his hands to Shang Feng, and led Zhao Daniu and the guards to the outside.

Seeing the back of Zhao Wen leaving, Ryukyu Wang Shangfeng sighed, "Oh, the country is weak, and we can only respect the strong, helpless."

"Your Majesty, why don't we file a letter to the imperial court and let the current emperor punish him?" Cai Xu pointed at Zhao Wen's back and said aggressively.

Shang Feng glanced at Cai Xu lightly, and said sarcastically, "Punishment? Thank you for thinking it out. This man obviously doesn't care about the imperial court. Will he be afraid that the imperial court will punish him?

Even if we report this matter, whether the emperor can and is capable of punishing him is still a matter of course.

Are people who can own treasure ships so easy to mess with?Now that the imperial court can't build a treasure ship, if you go head-to-head with him, isn't that courting death? "

Cai Xu was momentarily at a loss for words, his face was uncertain.

After a long time, he kept sighing as if accepting his fate.

The officials in the hall stood there quietly, not knowing what they were thinking.

Not long after, Zhao Wen walked out of the palace.

Zhao Wen turned his head to look at the palace, waved his big hand, and shouted to the soldiers outside the palace: "Withdraw, go to the port."

Under the leadership of Zhao Wen, a thousand people marched towards the port.

There is a hill that is not too high near the port. It is more appropriate to call it a hill than a mountain.

This hill is not far from the port, only about two miles away.

This hill is relatively high compared to the port, facing the port directly, and the area above the hill is not small, so it is most suitable for stationing soldiers.

When Zhao Wen came to this small hill, he sent people to unload the camping equipment from the treasure ship.

The sky gradually darkened, and more than 1000 people were busy on the hill.

Zhao Wen stood in front of the camp, looking at the port ahead and the sea outside the port.

Gusts of sea breeze blew by, and the sound of waves rang out one after another.

"The location of this small hill is good. It faces the port directly. It is perfect to build a bastion."

The night is gradually falling. Now that there are not many lights in later generations, the entire port and Shuri Castle are extremely dark.

There is a small alley in the north of Shuri Castle. The houses in this small alley are low and cramped, and there is sewage everywhere in it. There is always a bad smell in the small alley.

Sakata Arui sat in a dilapidated room in an alley, he looked at his sister lying on the bed, his eyes were full of concern.

His younger sister is called Sakata Miyuki, and she is only thirteen or fourteen years old now.

Ten years ago, his parents died, and he has been taking care of his younger sister ever since.

"Sister, are you better?" Sakata Arui looked at Sakata Miyuki who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and brought over the medicine that was on the table next to him.

Sakata Miyuki coughed twice and smiled, "Brother, I'm much better."

"It seems that the effect is not bad. Yesterday, you were still coughing, so you just drank the medicine, and the coughing is not as bad as before. Hurry up, drink this bowl of medicine again, so that you can recover soon."

Sakata Arui brought the medicine in front of Sakata Miyuki, stirred it a few times with the spoon inside, then scooped up a spoonful, blew gently, and placed it near Sakata Miyuki's mouth.

After a while, the medicine in the bowl had bottomed out.

Sakata Arui put the bowl on the table, comforted Sakata Miyuki a few words, then stood up, ready to leave.

"elder brother!"

At this moment, Sakata Miyuki suddenly grabbed Sakata Arui's arm.

"What's wrong?" Sakata Arui turned around and asked softly.

Sakata Miyuki frowned slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "Where did the armored people come from today? Did brother get coerced?"

Sakata Arui smiled, and replied: "I have good news for you, I am no longer a wild samurai, I was taken in by an adult, and I am working in front of him now.

Those people who came today are his subordinates, this is a powerful general.I have a hunch that this lord will definitely be able to create an immortal foundation in the future.

And I, Sakata Arui, will also become the most powerful assistant of this lord, and I will also be the most brilliant samurai of the Sakata family. "

Sakata Arui's face flashed with excitement, as if he had already seen the day when he would become famous.

"Really? Is there really an adult taking my brother in?" Sakata Miyuki's face was full of excitement.

"Why are you lying to me? Look at the clothes on my body. These are all made by the adult. And my knife, which is made of fine steel."

Sakata Arii patted the samurai sword on his waist, and said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, you should rest quickly, I still have things to do today." Sakata Arui pulled the quilt under Sakata Miyuki's neck, covered her tightly, and then walked outside.

The night was getting darker, and dogs barked in the alley from time to time.

Sakata Arei turned around in the alley, and finally came to the gate of a ruined temple.

Sakata Arii pushed open the temple door and walked in.

This ruined temple is not big, and you can see the temple when you open the door.

At this time, there was a fire in the temple, and a few figures could be vaguely seen beside the fire.
