The Ryukyu Kingdom is indeed too small. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although there are dozens of islands, the largest and most suitable for human habitation is the island of Ryukyu, and the rest of the islands are just fishermen and military fortresses.

Therefore, after the captives occupied Shuri Castle, which was the most dangerous place, King Shōtai announced his surrender and accepted the will of the Sacred King unconditionally, and the rest of the entire Ryukyu Kingdom obeyed the king's orders, put down resistance, and followed Shotai to lead the entire Ryukyu Kingdom into the Holy Kingdom. I have to say that the Ryukyuan people are really loyal to the Shang Dynasty, and of course, this is also the reason why Shang Tai was able to sit as king at a young age.

He handed over the seal of the Ryukyu king, and announced the abolition of the suzerain-vassal relations with the Manchu and Satsuma domains, and the abolition of the Ryukyu Kingdom. On the same day, Luo Gang, who accepted his surrender, announced his decree on behalf of the Holy King: the Ryukyu Territory was permanently incorporated into the Sacred Kingdom, and the Ryukyu Province of Fukkey Province was established on top of the original Ryukyu Kingdom.

Finally, the edict sent the king of the Ryukyus and a group of courtiers to Guangzhou to meet the holy king and accept the reward.

In the will of the Holy King, it was known that the Ryukyu Kingdom would be conquered for a long time, and the Ryukyu Kingdom had been divided into three parts in advance, the Northern Ryukyu Islands, the Middle Ryukyu Islands, and the Southern Ryukyu Islands. To put it bluntly, the Northern Ryukyu Islands are the area around Amami Island in later generations, the Central Ryukyu Islands are the area around Okinawa Island, and the South Ryukyu Islands are the area around the Miyako Islands.

Therefore, in his edict, the entire Ryukyu Province was directly designated as the Ryukyu Prefecture of Fukjian Province, with three prefectures under its jurisdiction, corresponding to three parts: Beishan County, Zhongshan County, and Nanshan County. It corresponds to the three Ryukyu vassal states of the Ming Dynasty in history.

The seat of the Ryukyu Prefecture was naturally Shuri Castle in the --- of Zhongshan County.

After announcing the Holy King's oracle, Luo Xuan was a little distracted.

Of course he was heartbroken about his son Luo Feide, and even resented Feng Yunshan for a while. Even, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about leading the sailor to stand on his own feet in Moss Bay, but Luo Gang's character determined that he wouldn't do this.

In addition, two days before the expedition to the Ryukyus, a staff officer in the army quietly introduced him to a person, but he was the head of the military department sent by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and I don't know why he heard about Luo Feide, and came to surrender with a letter from the military department, saying that as long as he led the army and navy division to return to the imperial court, he would be promoted as the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division and the identity of the flag appreciator.

Luo Xuan couldn't help but laugh angrily!

Fuck the Admiral of the Guangdong Navy! Did the Manchus still have sailors? Lao Tzu is now the first person in the Holy Country.

Fuck the flag man identity! Lao Tzu, as a Hakka and an authentic Han Chinese, would he turn his back on his ancestors and accept what kind of reward as a banner person?

The head of the military department of the Manchu Qing Dynasty probably didn't expect that he traveled thousands of miles and came to Fujian secretly in disguise, originally thinking that Luo Xuan's son was dead, and he would definitely rebel, as long as he gave a step down, he didn't expect that not only did he not let Luo Xuanjiao rebel, but he forgot his son's pain.

The original dissatisfaction with Feng Yunshan disappeared. Attention was diverted to the early overthrow of the Manchus.

As a result, the sad head of the military department and the recommended staff officer were detained and sent to Guangzhou by Luo Xuan without hesitation, and handed over to the police department of the Shengwang Palace.

Luo Xuan shook his head and didn't think much about it. The matter of his son, the Holy King sent him a letter on the third day to explain, and he actually knew very well in his heart that it was indeed his son's fault, and he was too strong to cause such consequences.

Forget it, even if you don't have a son, but in this life, you can recover the Ryukyus and open up the land of China in your own hands, and it can be regarded as a name in history, and this life is worth it!

……

The captives who occupied the capital of the Ryukyus were left with only 3,000 men from the 13th Brigade to garrison them. The remaining 13,000 sailors and 1,500 of the 13th Brigade spent two days clearing the entire Ryukyu Kingdom before leaving Ryukyu and heading for Jeju Island.

Since Jeju Island had never been there, the sailors from the Quanzhou Prefecture had only been to Ryukyu and Choshu Osaka, but Jeju Island had not been there.

Therefore, Luo Ganggang invited more than a dozen shippers from the Ryukyus who had been trading with Saimoto and Korea for a long time to lead the way.

Halfway through, Luo Jian did not forget to send a speedboat back to Guangzhou to report the successful occupation of Ryukyu. In addition, he informed the Holy King that the U.S. fleet had invaded the Ryukyus in the first half of the year and proposed a trade affair.

During this period, I also encountered several merchant ships of Saihonto and North Korea, which were estimated to have come to the Ryukyus to trade, and when they saw a large fleet, they panicked and turned around and ran.

Luo Ganggang did not order the pursuit, but rushed to Jeju Island, eager to open a transit base there. The reason is that when he set out from Quanzhou, the Holy King was already urging, saying that the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Army was in a desperate situation in Jinghai City, Tianjin Prefecture, and he was afraid that it would not be able to support it after the year, so he ordered Luo Xuan to arrive as soon as possible and implement the rescue plan according to the plan of the General Staff.

Luo Jian thought that Qin Rigang and himself had fought side by side, and there were many old brothers in the Northern Expedition, and they were also a little anxious in their hearts, so they didn't care about other things, and rushed straight to Jeju Island. Otherwise, according to his old business, the water cowards on the surface of the Xijiang River saw the merchant ships, and they were Japanese robbers, so they would have sent someone to stop them.

The south wind was strong at sea, and after a few days, we arrived at Jeju Island.

Jeju Island is neither large nor small, more than 100 miles long and 50 miles wide, and is an island formed by a volcanic eruption. If Feng Yunshan is here again, it will definitely be strange that the Chinese people in later generations like to go to a tourist area of sticks, which is extremely prosperous, but in this era, it is a desolate.

Oh no, it's not desolate. The first of their fleets was the south bank, where there were no people. After driving north along the coastline of the island for more than 50 miles, I finally found a large grassland, and there were some people in the middle of the grassland.

Luo Xuan ordered Liang Peiyou to lead a marine regiment of sailors ashore.

More than 100 cavalrymen, brandishing their sabers, rushed over, shouting loudly, not knowing what to do.

It was still two Ryukyu guides who knew Goryeo, and the translation said that the other party was the imperial horse supervisor of the Jeju horse ranch of the Lee dynasty of North Korea, and he had jurisdiction over all the horse farms in Dajing County, so that Liang Peiyou and others quickly withdrew from Jeju Island, otherwise there would be no forgiveness.

While this cavalry was still showing off its might, Liang Peiyou asked everyone to secretly outflank it, preparing to surround it. Unexpectedly, the cavalry was also bluffing, seeing that there were many soldiers in the captive army, knowing that they were invincible, as soon as they saw that they were outflanked, they immediately urged their horses to flee.

Liang Peiyou had no choice but to order to shoot, and if he could hit one, he counted one.

I only heard the sound of gunshots, and although the distance was not close, I still hit several war horses and knocked down a few people.

The crowd rushed up and captured several Korean horsemen. After interrogation, it was learned that the Jeju Island was divided into two counties, one is Daejeong County in the south, and the other is Jeongui County in the north. Both counties are sparsely populated, with only a total of more than 20,000 people on Jeju Island, half of whom are the descendants of exiled criminals from North Korea, and the others are horsemen who raise horses, a total of more than 500 people. However, there are tens of thousands of horses, but only about 2,000 of them are war horses, and the rest of the more than 10,000 are bantam horses, all of which are used for the military rations of Korean soldiers.

It turned out that this Jeju Island was originally used by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, to raise horses, but over the course of several generations, the horses on Jeju Island gradually turned into dwarf horses, which were no longer suitable for war. The more than 2,000 horses were still horses brought from the Korean mainland.

Hearing this, Liang Peiyou hurriedly sent someone to report the outline.

He ordered 8,000 soldiers to march from the surrounding areas of Jeju Island to the center, sweeping the entire Jeju Island and the two counties. (To be continued.) )
