"I didn't expect it, you Hongtang is really so trustworthy!"

The Ryukyu Palace, dressed in magnificence, with a bit of the appearance of the Ming Forbidden Palace, a little more magnificent, less majestic. At the top of the palace, an old man in a red robe, wearing a black winged crown, and a golden four-clawed dragon in the middle of the red robe, looked at Wu Daofu who was hanging his hands against his chest under the palace with a kind face.

In the palace, there is a quiet and elegant incense, although it is early spring, there should be a little chill on the hall is as warm as early summer.

"The king has won the award, and I am waiting for the people of the Ming Dynasty, although they are not very literate, but they still understand the principles of benevolence, faith, courtesy, righteousness and honesty. Since the king trusted us at the beginning, my young master strongly instructed me to wait, so that I must abide by the contract and solve the king's worries! Bowing down, in the palace of the Ryukyu royal family, Wu Daofu, who was calm in the past, could not help but be shocked by this solemn palace, showing a sense of deference.

"Okay, good, it's not a loss to be a righteous man from the Ming Dynasty, it's not in vain!" The old man Shang Ning Wang looked at the obedient Wu Daofu with satisfaction, and his heart was full of happiness at this moment.

The shame of being captured back then was like a fish thorn in the stalk, so that every time the king of Shangning thought of this, his heart was like a knife, and he lived a long time.

Now that Amami Goshima, which was lost from his hands, has finally returned to his hands, no matter who sits in the hands of him, the king of the Ryukyus, shouldn't they all be extremely excited? Not to mention that he, the initiator, was forced to sign the "15th Article of the Association" and surrendered Amami Goto to the king.

It was only at this time that King Shangning felt that he had the face to meet his ancestors and ancestors who had been established by the Shang clan in the Ryukyus for hundreds of years.

Of course, King Shangning also knew that from the moment Wu Daofu and his hands took over the Amami Goshima, it also indicated that the Ryukyu Kingdom had really torn its face to our Satsuma, and there would be no room for turning around in the future.

Even if he sent royal guards to wipe out Satsuma's representatives in Shurijo Castle before, but several of the main members of it were still secretly imprisoned by him, and they were served with good food and drink.

As long as the Samoas did not want a dilapidated and swarting Ryukyu Island, their Shang rule was still secure.

But the meaning of accepting Amami Goto is very different, and it is equivalent to directly announcing what Hongtang did, and the main messenger behind it is their Ryukyu royal family, and no one else.

It is conceivable that if this Samoa attacks again, I am afraid that it will be impossible to let go of their Shang royal family as easily as last time.

But even if this is the case, he King Shangning has recognized it, not to mention that he still has such a powerful helper as Hong Tang at this time. These days, the strength that Hong Tang has shown on the battlefield has made him, who originally only had the idea of seven points of extravagant hope and three installments to find the king of Li Tianyang and them, and he was shocked, and he felt that he had picked up a treasure.

"Very good, the righteous warriors of the Ming Dynasty are righteous, and I, who is the king, cannot be without faith, according to the signed contract, I will issue an order now, canonize Wu Daofu and righteous soldiers, you will be the admiral of my Ryukyu Kingdom, and govern my Ryukyu thousands of miles of sea areas." This is the time, King Shangning is naturally even more reluctant to sparse Hongtang's help, and without waiting for Li Tianyang, the master of Hongtang, to speak, he gave Wu Daofu the official position of Admiral of the Water Division, and at the same time was cordial to Wu Daofu: "In view of the outstanding achievements in this war, since Admiral Wu is already my Ryukyu official, then Lone, as a king, naturally can't treat you as a meritorious man, so Lone asked people to buy an industry for Wu Qing in this Shuli City, and the content of the industry will be handed over to Wu Qing personally by Shang Zhong at that time." ”

King Shangning's hand made Wu Daofu feel flattered suddenly, and hurriedly knelt down to thank King Shangning for his kindness: "Thank you, King!" ”

Don't blame Wu Daofu for having no backbone, don't look at Wu Daofu fighting for life and death outside, brave and unmatched, but inside, he is still a common man who has not seen much of the world, and now he is so valued by the king of a dynasty, he is naturally surprised and shocked, and he feels a little unable to find the north.

It's just that he couldn't imagine at this time that he would receive such a generous reward and official position from King Shangning without Li Tianyang's hands, what kind of idea King Shangning had in his heart, and he also didn't think about what Li Tianyang would think when he went back when he went back after accepting King Shangning's official position and generous gifts so easily.

But fortunately, at this time, he still has loyalty to Li Tianyang in his heart, as well as the care of his subordinates, while thanking, while thinking about what benefits he can help Hongtang get some more benefits: "It's just Your Highness, my Hongtang Whale Department, no, it should be my Ryukyu Sailor This battle, the sacrifice is great, although His Highness gave 10,000 taels of gold last time, but there are many dead soldiers and many disabled people, this monk has more porridge and less porridge, the brothers actually don't get much reward, I don't know if His Highness can ......"

"Of course, now that the enemies of Satsuma are gone, my Ryukyu land is back in the arms, and thousands of brave people have returned to the command of Lone, as a royal family, how can Lone forget their exploits!" Without waiting for Wu Daofu to finish speaking, King Shangning was heroic, but in fact, his heart was dripping with blood: "Proposed edict, today there is a Ming righteous man Hongtang Department attached, and make great contributions to recover the five islands of Amami, and give 10,000 horses of silk and 50,000 taels of silver." ”

"Your Highness!" This gratitude is much more sincere than Wu Daofu's previous thanks to King Shangning. Wu Daofu knew that if it weren't for everyone's sacrifices, he wouldn't have everything he has today, and without Li Tianyang's cultivation, he would not be able to stand in today's position and accept the reward of the king of a country.

Subsequently, this King Shangning seemed to have made up his mind to agree with Wu Daofu on the agreement signed with Hong Tang before, and took advantage of the opportunity of Wu Daofu being shocked by his title as the king of the royal family, and explained to Wu Daofu everything that should have been discussed with the representative sent by Li Tianyang.

For example, Iriomote Island, Hateruma Island, and Hatoma Island, three islands that originally belonged to the Yaeyama Islands, according to the previous agreement with Li Tianyang, King Shangning simply handed them over to Wu Daofu, and nominally served as a station and training place for the Ryukyu naval division, but in fact it was completely handed over to Hongtang to manage.
