Chapter 149: The giant whale swallows the fusang
Liangchen County?
Siba…
Li Yanzhao's suggestion made Eunuch Wei's pupils dilate. If he hadn't taken a deep breath in time and suppressed the turbulence deep in his heart, he might have probably not been able to wait for Ding Xiaogong to play a song "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" for him with a suona and then lay down on the ground.
"Father-in-law?"
After realizing that Eunuch Wei's expression was extremely unnatural, Li Yanzhao was also a little nervous because he realized that his proposal was very stupid. There was no place in the world named after a living person.
Just be gentle, you, Li Yanzhao, have come up with an irrelevant bad idea;
To put it seriously, are you kid trying to curse your father-in-law to die soon?...You can inherit his great career and beautiful family?
"The last...the last is...that's just...that's just casually, father-in-law...if you don't like it, the last is thinking...that's something else..."
Li Yanzhao was too nervous and stuttered a little when he spoke, and sweat oozed out of his forehead. At the end, he knelt down to Eunuch Wei with a "stop" and apologized repeatedly: "My general deserves to die, My general is confused, please forgive me, My general deserves to die, why did My general come up with such a bad idea..."
"Huh? What are you doing? Our family has even blamed you!"
This time, Eunuch Wei was really surprised. He helped Li Yanzhao up with one hand, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said, "Your idea is a very good one. It's a very good idea. Why didn't our family expect it? Liangchen County, well, okay, it's very good..."
The man laughed openly, it was worth it that he valued Li Yanzhao so much on weekdays. He promoted him from a small flag to a deputy general. It was indeed very useful at critical moments.
The Ryukyu Improvement Minister is like the Emperor’s Uncle who turns into an imperial book. It’s wonderful, very wonderful!
"My father-in-law really thinks it's good?" Li Yanzhao was not sure whether Eunuch Wei was telling the truth or lies at this moment.
"good!"
Eunuch Wei clearly affirmed it.
After hesitating for a while, Li Yanzhao carefully reminded Eunuch Wei of the taboos of naming living people.
After hearing this, Eunuch Wei smiled again, plucked the oil head, wiped the flour, and lit a Chinese stick. He said in the smoke: "What are you going to be afraid of? There will be death in life, but death will die early and late. If a person dies, what else will be left in the world except for the flesh and blood? Therefore, your statement is very good, greatly broadening our vision. We will take a step forward and change Ryukyu to a good minister. In the future, there will be Wenyao Mansion and Yanzhao County. This will not only help the new land to be king, but also allow our meritorious soldiers to be remembered in history and will be remembered by future generations."
"This is definitely not a taboo, but an honor, the highest honor of the Imperial Army soldiers!"
Eunuch Wei made the final decision.
"The father-in-law's thoughts are really the thoughts of the times, the thoughts that stand at the highest peak of the world, and are not comparable to those of the last generation! Compared with the father-in-law, the last generation is simply a frog in the pond..."
Li Yanzhao said sincerely that the two words "time" and "world" that often appear many times in Wei Gong's speeches are the best representative of the father-in-law.
"Human progress depends on the progress of thought, and human history also depends on the innovation of thought. Yan Zhao, as long as you dare to think and do, you will find that our world is very wonderful..."
Eunuch Wei, who was intrigued, talked with Li Yanzhao very much, especially explained the significance of this expedition to Japan in detail. He hoped that Li Yanzhao could shine in this expedition to Japan and achieve brilliant achievements for Huang Ming and himself.
Suddenly, my father-in-law stopped and looked at Li Yanzhao in confusion: "Comrade Yanzhao, why do we think you are praising our family without any limits? Do you cater to our family without principles?"
"How could it be? In the eyes of the last eye, the thoughts of the father-in-law are like heaven and earth..."
Li Yanzhao hurriedly defended that his respect for his father-in-law was from the heart and heart, because if his father-in-law had not treated him with keen eyes, how could Li Yanzhao become the youngest captain of the Imperial Army?
"Our family has said many times that our comrades should treat others sincerely, know how to criticize and self-criticize, and constantly improve themselves and never make any statements against their will..."
Eunuch Wei felt vigilant. As a senior leading cadre of the Imperial Army, he must not lose his vigilance towards flattery, as it would cause the army, the country, and the people.
"Father-in-law, as I said before, only the incompetent people will praise him by others is the so-called flattery, and only the unconfident people will be afraid of the praise from the outside world..." Li Yanzhao said sincerely.
My father-in-law nodded. He understood this principle.
He thought he was really too concerned. Li Yanzhao was not the flatterer he imagined, but a real follower and admirer.
Finally, Li Yanzhao expressed his opinion, and he said: "I will only read my father-in-law's books in this life, listen to my father-in-law's words, follow my father-in-law's instructions, and be my father-in-law's good subordinate!"
"Don't just say no to practice, show your true skills and prove yourself with actions!"
My father-in-law was very satisfied and asked Li Yanzhao to carry forward the spirit of the imperial army's courage to fight and fight to death in this battle, and contribute to the great cause of the empire.
"Japan, in ancient times, had a grudge against our emperor before the Ming Dynasty, and hated the enemy of the vassals later. Now, the soldiers of the sea and land in our empire will be guided by the great military thought of his father-in-law, so that the small Japanese countries will know that the clown will never have a good end!"
Li Yanzhao stood attentively and raised his arms, willing to lead the Sixth Infantry Regiment to the first place to set foot on the land of Edo.
His subordinates were so determined that Mr. Wei was so excited that he immediately recited a poem, which said:
"The cannons are opened and he bangs his mother, and Weiga is home to his hometown.
Count the heroes and the Liang minister of Wei, how can you get a giant whale and swallow Fusang?"
...
The cannon is opened and he bangs his mother!
The monarch and ministers of Ryukyu did not have any joy in restoring the country, but were dejected.
After learning that the admiral and eunuch of the Ming Dynasty Army had requested the Ming Dynasty to remove the Ryukyu vassal and change it to a prefecture (county), the Ryukyu monarch and minister led by Shangning and Shangfeng and his son came to the throne of the government to express their firm opposition to the matter.
"Before the huge military expenses of the Imperial Army are paid off, the Ryukyu Kingdom should stop exist, and the military and civilians should regard themselves as subjects of the Ming Dynasty. This is not to be discussed!"
"There were old examples of Toyotomi before, what were the faces of the Shang father and son opposing it?"
"Our imperial army was ordered by the emperor to fight against the Japanese. Now, in order to restore the Ryukyu, our officers and soldiers were killed or injured, and the cost was even greater. How could the Shang family father and son not be able to spend a penny, and they could take advantage if they could not do anything," he said.
"I can tell the Shang family's father and son truthfully that our emperor Ming has no territorial ambitions for Ryukyu, but our emperor Ming has made great efforts to restore the country to the Shang family's father and son. If the Shang family knows shame, they should be allowed to rent the country to our emperor Ming. After our emperor Ming collects military expenses, they can return it to the country."
Cao Wenyao, the commander of the Guard Division, reposted the original text of Eunuch Wei's speech.
Shangning monk Feng and his son were speechless because, long before the Satsuma family invaded Ryukyu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had asked Ryukyu to bear part of the military expenditure for the dynasty. In response, the Shang family and his son agreed.
Furthermore, whether it was the Toyotomi era or the Tokugawa era, Ryukyu was a very double-faced person, and most of the pro-Japanese elements in China were more pro-Ming members than pro-Ming members.
Therefore, since the Shang family and son were able to sell their sovereignty to Japan and act as accomplices, the Emperor Ming had the power to sanction them. However, considering that Ryukyu was nominally a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, Eunuch Wei gave a proper solution, that is, Ryukyu Kingdom must bear the military expenses of the Imperial Army this expedition. The military expenses will be compensated by Ryukyu Kingdom in the future.
"General Cao, the Imperial Army came from afar to rescue my father and son. Both of them should repay the favor of the Imperial Army, but I don't know what the period of lease for our country proposed by the Angel?" Shang Feng, who had been hostage in Japan for two years, was still a matter of knowledge and knew the reason why his arms could not resist his thighs.
"Ninety-nine years."
