However, Ryukyu was occupied by the Japanese.

The king of Ryukyu, Shang Tai, was directly under house arrest by the Japanese.

The sister of the King of Ryukyu, Shang Qingqing, her husband Shang Dehong, and a minister of Ryukyu, Shang Tao, escaped. They ran all the way to their sect leader, the Qing Dynasty, to file a lawsuit.

These three people are all powerful and powerful in Ryukyu.

But they fled all the way, in ragged clothes and cried in front of the Zongli Yamen of the Qing Dynasty, which caused many passers-by to watch. In the petition to write to Li Hongzhang, they "called and cried blood", "I don't want to be a member of the Japanese country in my life, and I don't want to be a ghost of the Japanese country in my life!" They asked for help from the Qing court of my mother country, "to chase all the Japanese troops out of the country."

The passers-by next to him were shocked when they heard it.

"Yes, send troops."

"Ryukyu has always been our vassal state, so I want to save them."

However, in the Zongli Yamen of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang couldn't help but feel extremely headache when he heard these crying.

Helping the vassal state Ryukyu fight Japan? What a joke? The Qing court has been having trouble with the Taiping Army recently, so there is no way to help them. Besides, even if the Qing court has the extra effort, he doesn't want to fight Japan. After all, I heard that Japan has excellent relations with Western countries.

What if you attack Japan and offend Western countries?

Although Li Hongzhang is extremely famous, he is essentially a brave bandit.

The subordinates were all waiting for Li Hongzhang's answer.

Although Li Hongzhang had known the answer in his heart, he still pretended to behave: "I'll wait for me to go to court to discuss with all the adults in the court before making a decision."

The next day, when he was in court, Li Hongzhang brought up this matter. Now Li Hongzhang is a big celebrity in the Qing court and completely replaced Zeng Guofan's position.

The reaction in the court was exactly the same as what Li Hongzhang thought.

It’s not very meaningful to ask for money in a war, helping Ryukyu.

Moreover, I heard that Japan has a good relationship with the Western countries, so I went to help them fight Japan, which would annoy the Western countries.

So, that's it.

This is what Xiang Dehong and the other two of Ryukyu got. They were almost crying.

"We Ryukyu have surrendered to the Qing court for so long and have always regarded them as the sect leader. But I didn't expect that when our Ryukyu was occupied by Japan, the Qing court was so cruel and ruthless." Xiang Dehong sighed.

"What should we do now?" Shang Qingqing was also a little confused. She finally escaped by Ryukyu, but she unexpectedly fell into such a situation.

"What can we do? Wait for death. Our Ryukyu Kingdom will be destroyed in this year, alas." Xiang Dehong sighed.

At this time, Xiang Tao frowned: "You must have heard of the Taiping Army."

"Didn't the Taiping Army be fucked by the Qing court long ago? There is only a little left in Daiwan." Shang Dehong said.

"We knew this before. But a few days ago, when I went out for breakfast, I heard that the young king of Taiping Army was so powerful that he could not break his defense and could be called a god. He directly killed half of the elite troops in the Qing court. Now the Qing court was so scared that he dared not go to attack Daiwan, and he was also crazily practicing the new army. Can we ask the Taiping Army for help?"

"But our suzerain country was the Qing court."

"No, our sect leader has always been China. It used to be Ming, but now it is Qing. If Qing does not help, we can naturally turn to the Taiping Army." Shang Tao shook his head and said.

"That's right, we can go to the Taiping Army."

They went south and inquired about the Taiping Army. They heard that the Taiping Army defeated the 3,500 Japanese army, and they had more confidence.

...

He Xuan was practicing as usual.

At this time, I received a message saying that someone from Ryukyu Kingdom asked for a visit.

The Ryukyu Kingdom must have been destroyed by Japan now.

He Xuan ran over to meet him.

These three people were dressed quite torn.

The leader was a young man in his thirties.

And a middle-aged man in his forties.

There is also a beautiful young woman who is twenty-six and seven years old.

The three of them seemed to be quite nervous and uneasy.

King Zhong Li Xiucheng pointed at the three people: "These three are the sister Shang Qingqing, the sister-in-law Xiang Dehong, the son-in-law of the Ryukyu King."

Finally, he pointed to the middle-aged man in his forties: "And Minister Shang Tao."

"It turns out that they are three from Ryukyu Kingdom. I wonder what the three of them are looking for me, what's wrong with me?" He Xuan said straight to the point.

Xiang Dehong quickly said, "We want to ask the young king to help us defeat the Japanese army in Ryukyu and rescue the Ryukyu Kingdom."

"Oh." He Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "If you want me to save you, you can't save me in vain. What are the benefits of me?"

He Xuan was so straightforward that the three people in Ryukyu were stunned, and they were not used to such direct ways of speaking. King Zhong Li Xiucheng also sighed beside him, "The Young King is good at everything, but this way of speaking is not like a god or an emperor at all, and it is like a ranger who is scattered in the world."

After a while, Xiang Dehong said, "As long as the young king saves us, our Ryukyu can always be a vassal of the Taiping Army."

He Xuan shook his head: "This is not enough."

"We can choose the most beautiful girl to serve the young king," Xiang Dehong continued: "And, we will hand over a certain amount of taxes to the Taiping Army every year from now on."

"Do I look so erotic?" He Xuan twitched his lips: "Forget it, you Ryukyu don't have many people, and the taxes are pitifully small. Why do I want your taxes? If you lack money, you will directly rush to the other side and grab the government under the rule of Shangqing. You will have money. What a simple thing."

Xiang Dehong and Shang Tao both felt speechless. They robbed the Qing court of a shortage of money. This is so confident. However, the more confident he is, the better he is. It means that the greater his ability, the more he can help Ryukyu restore the country.

After thinking about it, Xiang Dehong said as if he had made up his mind, "We have brought the national treasure of our Ryukyu Kingdom. As long as the young king is willing to help us, we will present the national treasure with both hands. Our national treasure is said to have been given by God three hundred years ago."

"Gived by God?" He Xuan's mouth twitched. He didn't believe there was a god in this world: "You can take out your national treasure. If it is really worth it, I will help you. If it is not worth it, I can't blame me. Of course, I will not invade your national treasure."

After hearing what He Xuan said, he said to Dehong: "Our national treasure is not in our hands now. We will hide it in other places. We will come again for a few days. At that time, we will bring the national treasures here."
