Now the plan of the Bengang team to clear the obstacles to the north is still being planned in Li Tianyang's heart, and it has not been implemented, so it is impossible for King Shangfeng of the Kingdom to know this great news for their kingdom.

If this matter really goes smoothly, then it will mean that it will not be long before the Ryukyu Kingdom will be able to completely get rid of the threat from the Japanese kingdom of Samosa.

At that time, even if the Ryukyu Kingdom, which has no threat, still pays attention to national defense and armaments, I am afraid that it will not invest as much as it does now, unless they want to deal with the Bengang team.

Therefore, this time, let the Ryukyu Kingdom take over the arms in their hands in exchange for the money needed to sweep the Bengang team, I am afraid that it will be the last partial wealth that the Bengang team has obtained from the Ryukyu Kingdom in a short period of time.

In the future, if the Bengang team wants to earn money in the Ryukyu Kingdom, they can only do so through legal and reasonable commercial trade.

"The idea is good, but it's still a lot of difficulty in practice." Li Tianyang stroked the growing hair on his head and said slowly.

"Yes, it's difficult, but I believe in our team's capabilities." As the former leader of the secretarial team, Tan Songyun had access to many of the lists of people who had been placed and bought into the Ryukyu Kingdom by the outer guards of the Bengang team, and these lists gave him strong confidence.

"Very well, so who do you think is the right person to do this?" Li Tianyang then asked.

"Leave it to the staff at the Flight Desk, they won't let you down." Tan Songyun had confidence on his face, just like when he was the leader of the secretary team next to Li Tianyang.

Soon, Li Tianyang's instructions were transmitted to Huludao through carrier pigeons, and then a fast-paced speedboat on Huludao sped away towards the far east, but it reached the sea area where the Ryukyu Kingdom was located in more than ten days.

Up to now, the pace of the development of the Bengang team, it is true that many things have no need to try to solve the problem by working their own, he only needs to make a decision, and there are naturally people below who will do things well according to his decision.

Just like this time, he decided to let the Ryukyu royal family take over the affairs of more arms in his hands.

The matter of the arms trading point was unfolding in an orderly manner, and since Tan Songyun had heard about the matter, the next day, the information about the Franc cannon and arquebus was hung on the counter of the Qixintang business in Jilong Port.

Subsequently, several clippers also quietly sailed into the territory of several gangs in the Ryukyu Pirate District that confronted the Wyvern Gang and made contact with each other.

It didn't take long for several ships to sail out of the Ryukyu Pirate Zone, spend the night in the Chicken Long Harbor and then return to the Chicken Long Harbor Firm, and then the Chicken Long Port Qixintang Firm had tens of thousands of taels of silver on its books, but its inventory of artillery and muskets was much less.

More than two months later, the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shang Zhong, suddenly visited Jilong Port, and when he met Li Tianyang, he put forward the intention of purchasing firearms from the Bengang team to arm Shuri Wangcheng and Amami Walled City.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Shang Zhong had been walking around the palace before the death of King Shangning, but now he can only deal with the Bengang team as a messenger, and now he has come all the way to Jilong Port to purchase, and the seemingly important work is actually unexpected.

Therefore, when submitting this purchase intention, the Bengang team had already taken care of everything, and Shang Zhong handed over the foundation of the Ryukyu royal family as soon as he came up.

The reason why Shang Zhong betrayed the interests of the Ryukyu royal family so readily was, on the one hand, naturally out of his resentment that he had not been reused in the past two years, and on the other hand, because of the box of gifts that the Bengang team quietly delivered to him.

Although Li Tianyang only gave instructions, and he was not very clear about the process, but just from the fact that Shang Zhong said the bottom line of the Ryukyu Kingdom's procurement as soon as he came up, it is not difficult to see the outstanding performance of the Bengang team in procuring arms from the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Even the main person in charge of the procurement of arms has been bought by the Bengang team, so where is the so-called intention to purchase is just an intention, it didn't take long for the Bengang team to reach an arms deal with the Ryukyu Kingdom for 100,000 taels of silver.

After this transaction is done, the useless munitions that the Bengang team has streamlined over the past few days can basically be regarded as having found a buyer, and at the same time, the large amount of money can be used to support the ironworks and cannon foundries to start working at full capacity for a few months.

"My lord, do you really want to withdraw your troops from Amami Walled City?" Before leaving, Shang Zhong still did not hold back Nobushige's worries, and asked a topic that the Ryukyu royal family was most concerned about.

"At the beginning, we had an agreement with King Shangning in the middle of the seventh month, and after thinking that the Ryukyu Kingdom had the ability to protect itself, our Hongtang Sailor Division would withdraw its troops." Li Tianyang's face was calm, and he lied to the Bengang team: "Now that the number of your Ryukyu Kingdom army has exceeded 13,000 people, and there are more than 6,000 sailors under your command, in my opinion, it is enough to protect the safety of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and it is time to withdraw the army." ”

It is said that it is a lie, but in fact, it can be regarded as a fact, if you really want to send troops to the north according to Li Tian's assumption, as long as you defeat the Japanese Samoto Bo, there is really no need for Hongtang to garrison troops in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Shang Zhong was silent for a long time, although when he was in the Ryukyu Kingdom before, Wu Shu, as the high-level of the Hongtang Kingdom where Hongtang was stationed, had already revealed the idea of the Bengang team, but now it was confirmed from Li Tianyang, the leader of the Bengang team, and it still made him feel a little trance.

"Then if the Japanese come over again, I wonder if you can send someone to help?" In the end, Shang Zhong asked a question that he thought was very important with a somewhat apprehensive look.

"Don't worry, although our Hongtang Sailor has withdrawn, the alliance between us is still there, and if there is a need, our Sailor will never sit idly by." Li Tianyang laughed, patted Shang Zhong's shoulder and reassured: "Moreover, I can't say that we will bring you a surprise soon!" ”

Li Tianyang's last thoughtless sentence, which Shang Zhong, who was surging at this time, really couldn't attract his thinking, but fortunately, after Li Tianyang agreed to the promise that they would not look on the side when the Ryukyu Kingdom was in crisis, it could be regarded as barely calming Shang Zhong's panicked heart.

Although he was not angry with King Shangfeng for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and sent his former important ministers and loyal ministers to the post of liaising with the Bengang team, in essence, Shangfeng also considered himself a member of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Sho Chung, who had personally experienced the capture of Shuri Castle and committed heinous deeds, was still unwilling to let the Satsuma Japanese set foot on the territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom even if he was not satisfied with the current king.
