Gao Jianguo listened to Liu Baoguo's report, and roughly understood Shang Feng's thoughts in his heart. The Ryukyus were indeed not very quiet in recent years, first in 1609 by the Satsuma Domain, and even the then Ryukyu King Shōnin was robbed.

On October 24, 1611, the 19th day of the 39th year of Wanli, the Emperor of Shangning was forced to sign the "Fifteen Articles" with Satsuma in Kagoshima. The five islands of Amami (i.e., Kikai Island, Tokunoshima Island, Amami Oshima, Okinagabu Island, and Yoron Island) were included in the Shimadzu clan's hiding place.

Every time the Ryukyus sent a tribute ship to China, the return of the tribute ship, the canonization of the envoy to Hong Kong, and other major diplomatic events, they had to send an envoy to inform the Satsuma Domain. In addition, when there was a change of ruler in the Satsuma Domain and the Edo Shogunate, as well as the birth, costume, and marriage of the sons of the Satsuma Domain and the Edo Shogunate, envoys were sent to Japan. When a catastrophe strikes in Japan, the Ryukyus also send condolences. Every year, the Ryukyus send an envoy to Satsuma to celebrate the New Year.

Although they were so oppressed by Japan, the Ryukyu royal family Shang family has always been interested in the Ming Dynasty. The king of the Ryukyus, Shang Feng, went to the Ming Dynasty several times to ask for canonization, but although Shang Feng was the king of the Ryukyus, he was still eager to obtain the canonization of the Ming Dynasty. As long as he doesn't get the canonization of Daming for a day, his heart will not be steady. It can be seen that the status of the Ming Dynasty in the minds of the kings of the Ryukyus.

So Gao Jianguo took the initiative to find the official with Nayuan and asked him to inform Shang Feng that he wanted to see him. When Shang Feng learned the news, his mood immediately became excited, and he hurriedly arranged a banquet, invited Gao Jianguo to Shuri Castle, and personally greeted him outside the palace.

Shang Feng is about forty this year, and he looks dignified, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Gao Jianguo, and then immediately greeted him with a smile. Shang Feng was intimidated by the military momentum of Gao Jianguo. Therefore, he greeted Gao Jianguo very politely, without showing the grandeur of the Ryukyu royal family, but seemed extremely cordial.

He led Gao Jianguo into the Ryukyu Palace, and he didn't dare to take it at all. He drank with Gao Jianguo, leaving only a few palace maids who accompanied him. It's like two long-time friends drinking. The two talked speculatively. During the banquet, Gao Jianguo put forward to Shangfeng a request for the company to find a foothold in the Ryukyu Islands.

Shang Feng was also shocked when he heard this, and secretly thought to himself: These people claim to be from overseas, and their strength is so strong, do they want to take their Ryukyus.

He thought for a moment and said embarrassedly: "Although Xiao Wang is the lord of the Ryukyus, he has not yet been canonized by the Ming Sect Master. I can't promise the Ryukyu Islands, after all, it's not right. In addition, the Japanese still occupy the five islands in the north of our country, and force our country to pay tribute to them every year, if they knew that the king had cut the islands and people without authorization, they would have sent troops here. At that time, the people of the island will be in a tragic. ”

Gao Jianguo couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, he laughed and said: "You misunderstood, we don't need you to cut the island, it's just that we often pass through here and want to find a place to rest and anchor." We are borrowing an island, and we can sign a contract with you, and it will not make it difficult for you.

As for the Wakoku, as long as you lease the island to our company. Of course, our company is also responsible for the safety of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and we will fulfill our responsibilities. Little Satsuma Domain. Our company is still not in sight, if they dare to come to Ryukyu to make things difficult again, our company will help you destroy them. ”

Shang Feng listened to Gao Jianguo's words, and his heart was suddenly pleasantly surprised. Since the other party is borrowing the island, it is easy to say. There is nothing else in the Ryukyus, but there are many islands. What is it to lend them an island? As long as they can help the Ryukyu Kingdom defend against the Satsuma Domain, they can cede a few islands.

After all, the strength of these overseas people is strong. It may not be a problem for people to destroy the Ryukyus casually, but now I will talk to you calmly. Let's follow their wishes.

Thinking of this, Shang Feng smiled and said: "Since you are leasing the island, then you can talk about it, but if the Japanese people reproach me, then I have to ask you to help me defend the Ryukyus against the Japanese invasion." ”

Gao Jianguo laughed and said: "Please rest assured, if the Japanese dare to come, our company will not sit idly by." ”

Then the two talked even more speculatively, and Shang Feng didn't put the royal family on the shelf from beginning to end, so the two sides drank happily, and they settled the matter at the table.

The next day, Gao Jianguo and Ryukyu officials sent by Shang Feng discussed the matter of leasing the island. In fact, they had already chosen the location before, and Gao Jianguo had already fallen in love with Kume Island in the western part of the Ryukyus, which was mountainous and just set up a wireless communication relay base station.

Kume Island is an island of the Okinawa archipelago in the Ryukyu Islands, located about 100 kilometers west of Naha City, with an area of 59.11 square kilometers and a circumference of 53.31 kilometers. In the modern world, it is a famous tourist destination, with white sand beaches and beautiful surroundings.

As soon as the Ryukyu official heard that Gao Jianguo wanted to lease Kume Island, Shang Feng agreed without saying a word. It was relatively far from the Ryukyus, and the islands were not large, so it was really nothing for the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In the next two days, Gao Jianguo signed a document with the Ryukyu Kingdom, confirming the lease of Kume Island, the annual symbol of the intersection of silver, and the matter was settled. Gao Jianguo also went to Kume Island once, and he was very satisfied with the environment there.

So far, Gao Jianguo's two tasks have been successfully completed, and he is waiting for the arrival of the ship transporting Siamese rice. Shang Feng invited Gao Jianguo to the Ryukyu Imperial Palace in Shuri Castle every day. A few days later, Shang Feng actually proposed to form a brother with a different surname with Gao Jianguo. Gao Jianguo was stupid when he heard it, but he couldn't push it back, so he agreed.

Shang Feng saw that Gao Jianguo agreed, and he was immediately ecstatic. He immediately ordered a big one to be held below, and the scene was very large. In this way, Gao Jianguo became the prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom with a different surname, which made Gao Jianguo cry and laugh.

When he returned to Yonahara Town, everyone congratulated him, and now he has become a real prince. Gao Jianguo scolded with a smile: "Don't be nonsense, what kind of prince am I." Paralyzed, I'm so fooled, if something happens to Ryukyu in the future, I can't ignore it. ”

When they were talking and laughing here, the officials from Nayuan came in a panic, and when he saw Gao Jianguo, he knelt down and said with a crying voice: "Lord Wang, the Japanese people...... The Japanese are coming...... Their ship had arrived at the port of Naha. The king told the prince to go to Shuri Castle. ”

Gao Jianguo's face became gloomy when he heard this, and he waved his hand and said, "You go back first, and I'll go over in a while." ”

After leaving with the officials of Nayuan, Gao Jianguo laughed at himself: "Paralyzed, I deserve to be a prince, it's only been a few days, and I'm going to find fault soon, I can't care about it now." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Zhou Cheng also smiled: "Commander, let's just destroy the Satsuma Domain." actually dared to fight the idea of the commander Wang's brother, and turned against him. They are provoking our Far Eastern Company. ”

The others also added salt and clamoured to destroy the Satsuma Domain. Gao Jianguo glared at them, and then said gloomily: "Don't talk nonsense, but since they are finding fault, then we will help Ryukyu get rid of this evil." We want other people's islands, so we have to talk. I commanded ......"

When everyone heard Gao Jianguo's words, everyone in the room stood upright, straightened their waists, and waited for Gao Jianguo to issue an order.

"The special operations team, carrying all the equipment and riding in three jeeps, followed me to Shurijo Castle, followed by a platoon from the War Department as a support unit. Zhou Cheng led the No. 1 landing ship and quickly went to Naha Port, and he must block the Japanese broken ships in Naha Port. Navy personnel and a group of daredevils are responsible for guarding the giant ship. Okay, let's get ready, and we'll leave in ten minutes. ”

In a few moments, everyone was ready. Gao Jianguo and Liu Baoguo led the special combat team to board three jeeps and set off first. A platoon from the War Department then marched on foot to Shurijo Castle. Zhou Cheng drove the No. 1 landing ship out of Nakashiro Bay and hurried to Naha Port.

This time he came to the Ryukyus a naval army general of the Satsuma Domain in Japan, named Tomohisa Takeuchi. He came with a navy unit from the Satsuma Domain, a dozen warships.

Since 1609, the Satsuma clan launched the Keicho Ryukyu Campaign, and established a Ban Office in Naha Port. After the ship arrived in Nakaminato, the Naha Minato Ban Office sent someone to report to the Satsuma Domain.

After receiving the news, no one in the Satsuma clan believed in the huge iron ship dozens of zhang long. They thought this was, but they were also afraid that something would happen in the Ryukyus, so this time the Satsuma Domain sent a naval army to come purely to declare force, and also let the Ryukyu Kingdom know the martial might of the Satsuma Domain.

So the Satsuma clan sent a naval lieutenant to the port of Naha in the Ryukyus to see the legendary giant iron ship. This time he brought hundreds of ashigaru and dozens of samurai, just to see where the giant ship was.

Gao Jianguo and the others rode in three jeeps and soon arrived at Shurijo Castle. Along the way, the three jeeps were watched by hundreds of people in the Ryukyus, but since they saw the 10,000-ton giant ship, they were not surprised to see the jeep again.

When the three jeeps drove to the Ryukyu Imperial Palace, Shang Feng had been waiting anxiously for a long time. Hearing that Gao Jianguo had arrived, he hurriedly ran out to greet him, and seeing that Gao Jianguo had only brought a dozen people, Shang Feng was suddenly a little disappointed in his heart.

But he still stepped forward and said with a smile: "It is indeed a last resort to let Brother Wang come in such a hurry. The Japanese have already arrived in Naha, and more than a dozen warships have arrived, and the momentum is menacing. I couldn't think of a way for a while, so I had to ask Brother Wang to help me come up with an idea. ”

Gao Jianguo laughed when he heard this: "What is this?" Brother, today brother, I will help you get rid of this evil, if they know each other, it is okay, if you give a shame, brother, I will destroy their Satsuma Domain. (To be continued) R466
