Chapter 91 - Shocking Gunshots

Xiao Letian had a set of musket team s, and they were even carrying strange guns that no one knew, capable of shooting out hail like bullets in an instant. This terrifying news quickly spread like wildfire through the Naha Harbor.

When Huashan Liyuan received the news, he was so shocked that he did not say anything for a quarter of an hour. This famous general of the Shimadzu Family, who had been guarding the Ryukyu for years, had gathered all of the knowledge in his mind but could not think of any kind of spear.

”Death Ice Three? Beaded Spear? ”What is this thing …” Although birch elder was at a loss, he was clear about one thing. This weapon must be very, very terrifying.

The completely different one from Huashan Liyuan's fear was Ryukyu King Shang Tai. Ryukyu King was currently only a young man who was around twenty years old, and was the age where passion had yet to die in his heart, causing her blood to surge. In his heart, it was filled with yearning for the continent's civilization and hatred towards Shimadzu Family. Under the pressure of the Shimadzu Family for more than two hundred years, the Shang clan could not even afford to raise a decent navy. How laughable was that, an overseas island nation actually could not afford to own a navy, this was truly a big black joke.

Shang Tai wanted to resist, but he had received the teachings of the King since he was young, and he knew how terrifying the rule of the Shimadzu Family was for the past 200 years. Although they did not dare to touch the Shang family, as long as any of the ministers of the pro-Chinese revealed themselves, they would kill them.

Two hundred and fifty years of suppression had caused the royal family of the Ryukyu to feel a deep fear for the Shimadzu Family.

Historically speaking, after the Shimadzu Family invaded the Ryukyu in 1609, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Li had ordered Zhejiang Province to send troops to rescue the Ryukyu. However, the terrifying typhoon had disturbed the rescue, and after that, the continent found out that the Shimadzu Family did not destroy the Ryukyu's temple, and the Ryukyu Kingdom still existed in a legal sense. This made the Central Great Empire's face much better, so the expedition ended there.

From then on, the Shang clan did not receive any good news from the Central Plains civilization. To the Ming and Qing dynasties, the face of the Ryukyu Kingdom coming to pay respects was more important than the person in control of the entire archipelago.

Everything went on until 1865, when Tongzhi, the Ryukyu's King, was approached by a thirty year old man in the name of offering gifts. Then, a piece of good news that she had been waiting for for for two hundred years, smashed onto her head.

Shang Tai still remembered that when he heard the Chinese man's soft words, the precious Song Baiyuan in his hands fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

”Great Qing, Western Studies, Mr. Tai Dou Xiao Letian, is about to visit the Ryukyu. At that time, a small army will follow them to the land, I hope that Your Majesty can seize this rare opportunity …”

Shang Tai's ecstasy after hearing this news could not be described with words. Although he was just a puppet from the Shimadzu Family, their yearning for the Central Plains civilization came from the bottom of their hearts, and the Ryukyu's envoys stationed in the Social Security Council s were trying to send all the information that happened on the continent back to their own country. Currently, updating the《 Journey to the West s》 that they received was already an essential classic for him.

Now, his idol, the Grand Master of Western Studies, had actually wanted to come to the Ryukyu, and furthermore, brought a small army here. How could not be overjoyed?

When Shi Dakai revealed that Xiao Letian wanted to be an official in the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shang Tai was ecstatic. He immediately broke a dryad pink plate, and the servants around turned pale due to the heartache.

In Xiao Letian's plans, the Ryukyu was the most important link for him. As long as the Ryukyu King gave him a sufficiently high status, he would quickly become the leader of the Ryukyu's imperial court. Xiao Letian wanted to establish a trading port in the Ryukyu. He wanted to use the strength of the Chinese and natives of the Ryukyu to train his navy, and he also wanted to use his own Marine Corps.

Xiao Letian had never thought of rebelling against himself as the emperor, nor did he think of making the Democratic Republic of the Congo his president or leader. From the start, Xiao Letian had never wanted to instigate a civil war in China, he didn't want his hands to be stained with the blood of innocent people.

However, Xiao Letian's kindness did not mean that he was a pedant. His kindness to the entire clan did not mean that he would show mercy to his enemies. If someone dared to provoke him, he would not mind killing everyone in his clan and digging the grave of his ancestors. In this way, a strong military force was essential.

Even if it was a fool, the Ryukyu King would not agree to it. However, after the King Yi saw with his own eyes the miserable state the Ryukyu King was in when she was pressed by the Japanese Shimadzu Family, he finally understood that to, being pressed by Xiao Letian was already a matter worth celebrating.

According to the history of Japan, in the reverse movement in front of the Minzhiweixin, the Shimadzu Family actually had a currency reserve of 2.5 million silver taels, which was already the richest name other than the Tokugawa. Furthermore, the Shimadzu Family was the first Japanese to copy the name of an armored ship.

All of this required money, and the source of money, where the money came from, was the pressure on Ryukyu for more than two hundred years, as well as the smuggling under the Tsurukawa's Palace's forbidden sea command.
