Sun Mengjie got dressed in a panic, pulled her hair together, didn't even care about Li Zicheng, ran out of the Qianqing Palace as if flying, and after returning to the Yongshou Palace, she closed the palace door, and then leaned on the palace gate, constantly beating her chest.

She couldn't tell why she was so nervous today, and the emperor didn't do ridiculous things in the middle of the day......

She is the emperor's concubine, and the emperor has the right to do anything, but there is something wrong with the time.

Is it because you are concerned about your brother? It's not right, the emperor is very good to the standard brother, he has already awarded thousands of households, and there is a possibility of knighthood in the future, the future of the Sun family is not on her, nor on the eldest brother Sun Lin, it is very likely to be on the standard brother!

Do you care too much?

Do you care about the emperor, or do you care about the standard brother?

Xiaomei heard the sound of the door closing, came over to take a look, and saw Sun Mengjie leaning against the palace gate, her face was ruddy, her eyes were stunned, and she couldn't help but be taken aback, "Concubine Jing!"

Sun Mengjie was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head, "It's nothing, Xiaomei, you can go and get busy yourself!"

Li Zicheng lay on the dragon bed for a while, dressed himself, and asked Wang Lian, the attendant eunuch, to go to the Han and Qing Dynasty to report Wang Anping.

Wang Anping hurriedly came to the imperial study room of the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace and gave Li Zicheng a big gift, "The minister knocks to see the emperor!"

"No rudeness!" Li Zicheng motioned for Wang Anping to sit on the opposite side, "Anping, is there any message from the Northern Division?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there is no special information from the Manchu Qing side," Wang Anping thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has received some things about Weiye County, but the person who sent the message back cannot confirm ......it for the time being."

"What?"

Wang Anping felt the bearing of the two words Li Zicheng, and hurriedly said: "It is said that Tengjisi does not want to be naturalized as a Han ......"

"Don't want to do it now? If it weren't for the cavalry, I'm afraid I would have been exterminated by Haoge," Li Zicheng snorted coldly and said, "The source of the information? ”

"The brothers heard it from Tengis's coat, so the ministers didn't dare to confirm it......"

"It's not groundless!" Li Zicheng said: "Spread the information to the first battalion, let Liu Yunshui not return to Beijing for the time being, and closely monitor Weiye County, the people of the Northern Division should also pay attention!"

"Obey the order!"

The anger on Li Zicheng's face faded slightly, "Does Anping know Japan?" ”

"The minister knows," Wang Anping was shocked, "Your Majesty, is there another Japanese coward along the coast?" It's all incompetent......"

"It's none of your business, there are no Japanese pirates along the coast, and the Japanese don't dare to blatantly invade China," Li Zicheng said: "However, there is a place called Kagoshima in southern Japan, and there is a powerful vassal called Satsuma Domain, and the feudal lord is called Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who actually sent troops to kidnap the king of the Ryukyus, and it took more than ten years to release it, and I didn't know it." ”

"Ryukyu?" Wang Anping didn't understand what the king of the Satsuma clan who kidnapped the Ryukyus had to do with China, and it didn't happen in the land of China.

However, since the emperor mentioned Japan and Ryukyu, there is always a reason for the emperor.

"Yes, Ryukyu is a loyal vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and now that China has replaced the Ming Dynasty, naturally we can't ignore it," Li Zicheng thought for a moment and said: "The Satsuma Domain also controls the government of the Ryukyus, forcing the Ryukyu King Shangxian to pay tribute. ”

"Is the emperor trying to save the Ryukyus?"

"There is no need for the time being, Ryukyu is not a vassal state of China now," Li Zicheng said: "Immediately send people to Japan to inquire about it."

The more detailed the information about the land, especially this Satsuma Domain, the land, the population, the number of troops, the combat effectiveness, and the relationship with the Tokugawa family, the shogun, etc., the more detailed the information, the better!"

"Tokugawa, shogun?" Wang Anping became more and more confused, he did not know anything about these conditions in Japan, and his impression of Japan was still at the stage of "Japanese robbers."

"The shogun, who holds the military and political power of Japan, almost overthrows the emperor, is even more powerful than the prime minister of China," Li Zicheng said: "However, in Japan, unlike the great unification of China, it is about similar to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the whole country is not unified in the real sense, but there are many vassal states, these princes, nominally obey the emperor and the shogun, but in fact control the local military, economic, and political power, and are completely 'a country within a country'!"

"The Emperor?" Wang Anping combed for a while, and basically had an impression in his mind, but he was very dissatisfied with the "emperor", "there are no two days in the sky", "there are no two masters in the country", and small Japan will dare to be called "emperor"? Can it still overshadow the emperor of Huaxia? "The emperor can rest assured, the minister will immediately send someone to Japan to investigate!"

"This is a long-term and arduous task, there is no need to rush for a while, and the manpower must be prepared to hide in Japan for a long time," Li Zicheng thought for a while, and said: "There is a Jinkai company in Fujian, which is engaged in maritime trade with the Japanese all the year round, you can contact the Jinkai company, try to leave long-term manpower in Japan, don't be afraid to spend money!"

"The minister understands!"

Li Zicheng then summoned Foreign Minister Nan Juyi and Director General of the Department of Asian Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ma Shaoyu, "You should collect all the information about Japan and the Ryukyus as soon as possible. ”

"Japan?" Nan Juyi was stunned, with his understanding of the emperor, if the emperor was eyeing someone, he would probably be unlucky, "There is a lot of information about Japan in the classics. ”

Ma Shaoyu said: "The minister has seen some information about Ryukyu, it was originally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a tribute every two years, but in the thirty-seventh year of Wanli (1609 AD), the Japanese Satsuma Domain sent the general Kayama Hisakaka to invade Ryukyu, kidnap the Ryukyu King Shangning, and move the royal family's sect to Kagoshima, the territory of the Satsuma Domain, and Ryukyu was forced to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and Japan, and the requirements of the Ming Dynasty were changed to ten years of tribute......"

"Huh?" Li Zicheng said: "Daming knows that Ryukyu was invaded by the Satsuma Domain? Why didn't it stop? ”

"This ...... The minister did not see it in the classics," Ma Shaoyu said: "Perhaps the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to Japan to reprimand, and finally Japan released Shangning, and Shangning also ceded the Amami Islands in the north of the Ryukyus to the Satsuma Domain......"

I see!

In his heart, Li Zicheng had hatred for the Satsuma Domain and Japan, and relying on his large number and strong strength, he actually invaded Ryukyu and cut off the land of Ryukyu.

Didn't the Satsuma clan know that Ryukyu was a Ming dynasty and a vassal state of China? At that time, China may have been just a geographical term, but this China has already established a country, how can it tolerate the misdeeds of the Satsuma Domain?

He bowed his head slightly and said, "Ma Aiqing, you go on!"

Ma Shaoyu was dumbfounded, the records in the classics are almost over, the current situation of Ryukyu cannot be recorded in the classics, he thought for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the classics, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu once sent officials and students to study in the country, and the imperial court took very careful care of these officials and students, and when they returned to China, Emperor Hongwu still had a lot of rewards......"

Nan Juyi regretted it, he knew that this was the case, he should have read more classics about the Ryukyus, and he would show his face in front of the emperor today.

Ma Shaoyu continued: "The king of Ryukyu at that time once sent the son of the minister of state to study in the state of the country, and the son of the minister of state played Emperor Hongwu on his behalf, 'The right chief Shi Wang Mao has assisted me for some years, and asked the court to allow me to promote him to the position of state minister; Zuo Changshi Zhu Fu, originally a native of Raozhou, Jiangxi, assisted my grandfather for more than 40 years, and there was no slack at all, and now he is over 80 years old, and I ask the imperial court to allow me to let him resign and return to his hometown!"

"Oh?" Li Zicheng said: "What happened later? ”

Ma Shaoyu said: "Emperor Hongwu naturally agreed, so the King of Ryukyu appointed Zhu Fu and Wang Mao as the Minister of State, Zhu Fu resigned and went home as the Minister of State and the Zuo Changshi, and Wang Mao handled his own affairs as the Minister of State and the Right Changshi. ”

"Ao," Li Zicheng's heart moved, and said: "This minister of state and left chief Shi Zhu Fu actually came to Zhongtu, a native of Raozhou, Jiangxi!"

Ma Shaoyu followed Li Zicheng's meaning and said: "In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu (1395 AD), Ryukyu asked the Ming Dynasty to give some people, so Emperor Hongwu gave Ryukyu 'thirty-six surnames', among these people, many of them later became officials in Ryukyu, so in Ryukyu, the Chinese dialect became more prevalent in Ryukyu......

"Chinese?" Li Zicheng was shocked, "Ma Aiqing, do you say that Chinese is spoken in Ryukyu?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it is recorded in the classics that the situation of Chinese language in Ryukyu is even more than that of Chao # Xian and Vietnam," Ma Shaoyu said unhurriedly: "Ryukyu has always been a vassal state of Middle Earth, and during the Ming Dynasty, it was even more endless, that is, during the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty had taken care of itself, but there were still many Ryukyu envoys who appeared in the court of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Li Zicheng's heart was beating wildly, as if he had lifted a woman's corset for the first time.

Although separated by the sea, the relationship between the Ryukyus and the Ming Dynasty seems to go beyond ordinary vassal states, population, officials, language, and so on.

If Ryukyu belonged to the land of the Ming Dynasty, how could China lose it?

He understood the importance of Ryukyu to China, in later generations, the blockade of the first island chain of China east out of the Pacific Ocean, that is, with the narrow Ryukyu Islands as the main chain, if China gets the Ryukyu itself, there will be no problem of the first island chain, on the contrary, Ryukyu will become an important base for China to go east out of the Pacific Ocean!

Ryukyu will definitely belong to China, and Li Zicheng lacks time and reason.

With Ma Shaoyu as a subordinate, everything will be different!

Li Zicheng read Ma Shaoyu's words in his heart, maybe there was a mistake in the classics, it didn't matter anymore, he decided that the classics were true and believed them selectively.

The reason to send it!

Since Ryukyu is the territory of China, how can the Satsuma clan be involved? The Satsuma Domain ceded the Amami Islands of the Ryukyus, which was very good, and Huaxia had no land dispute with the Satsuma Domain, but now it finally has!

To deal with the Satsuma Domain, he also needs a reason, the cut islands must be returned, with interest!

The small Satsuma Domain, not even a shogun, wants to learn from China to expand its territory!

The corners of Li Zicheng's mouth suddenly showed a cold smile, which flashed away, he looked at Ma Shaoyu and said with a smile: "Aiqing is worthy of being the director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, yes, continue to inquire about the relevant information of the Ryukyus!"

"Obey the order!"

Li Zicheng's gaze swept towards Nan Juyi, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, "Nan Aiqing, the information about the current situation in Japan must also be collected as soon as possible, the more detailed the better." ”

"Obey the order!" Nan Juyi lowered his head, but his heart was at a loss!
