Ryukyu is an island country with many islands. It has long been vain to the mainland dynasties and pays tribute every year. Of course, it will also receive a lot of rewards.

The last time the king of Ryukyu went to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, he found that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had changed again. He was still sighing that the emperor of the dynasty was very fast. He only changed four years ago, but now he has changed another one, and the new emperor is even older.

However, he didn't care about these things, and he cared about how much rewards he could get for the tribute. The result made him very satisfied, because Zhu Di gave him a lot of rewards, such as weapons, tea, silk, etc., which were all bad things in the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of the King of Ryukyu, they were all treasures, so he happily returned to the country.

But just a few months after returning to China, I suddenly heard that a powerful Ming fleet was heading towards the Ryukyu Kingdom, with great momentum, as if it was coming to wipe out Ryukyu, which really scared the king.

So before Hu Ye's fleet arrived in Ryukyu, the King of Ryukyu summoned all the ministers, but in fact there were only a few dozen people to go to the southernmost island of Ryukyu to welcome Hu Ye's fleet, fearing that he would neglect the commander of the fleet. If he got angry, it would be bad to destroy the entire Ryukyu.

However, the first thing they saw was naturally the small boats in Ida Niyi. The boats were filled with Japanese pirates, which scared the King of Ryukyu to death at that time.

The reason why their Ryukyu Kingdom paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty was not only because of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, but also because they wanted the protection of the Ming Dynasty, because their Ryukyu Kingdom was often attacked by Japanese pirates, and only the powerful Ming Dynasty could protect them.

Now that so many Japanese pirates have landed in Ryukyu, wouldn’t they destroy their Ryukyu Kingdom?

"Quick! Hurry! The Clippers go to the Ming Dynasty to ask for help!"

The King of Ryukyu shouted loudly, because he had seen the vicious faces of the Japanese pirates on the ship. It seemed that he would not give up until he destroyed Ryukyu. Look at the huge fleet behind him, there was no force that could save them except the Ming Dynasty.

But his voice had just landed, and the Japanese pirates who rushed down with big swords on the boat suddenly fell on the beach outside the island, and then the blood dyed the sea water on the beach red.

"What the hell is going on?"

The King of Ryukyu was stunned. Could it be that the big ships behind were from the Ming Dynasty?

By the way! In addition to the Ming Dynasty, which country can have such a huge fleet?

"call"

Hu Ye blew the white smoke from the flintlock rifle and put it on his waist.

"Put it away."

Afterwards, Hu Ye said to several soldiers from the Shenji Camp next to him.

Several soldiers took their guns and loaded their bullets and waited for the next firing.

"You...you! That's my soldier! Why did you order a shot!"

Kuramiya Shiren suddenly ran over frantically, trying to grab Hu Ye's collar and questioned loudly, but Lao Qian kicked him far away and rolled out several meters on the boat. Then he stopped, stood up, and continued to roar.

"They want to go to the island to burn, kill, rob and abuse, so I naturally have to take care of it." Hu Ye said indifferently.

"They are not soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, why do you care about them!"

Kuramiya Shiren said viciously that Hu Ye killed his soldiers just now, and they were the soldiers he used to counterattack Kyushu. There were not many soldiers, but after experiencing the storm, two small boats have been lost, and the soldiers have also been reduced by dozens of soldiers. Now Hu Ye has been reduced by more than a dozen. How can he not be angry?

"Ryukyu is a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty. They pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, so they deserve to be protected by my Ming Dynasty. Your soldiers want to go to the island to burn, kill, rob and abuse without my permission? Shouldn't I kill him?" Hu Ye shrugged, and then ordered the fleet to slow down and prepare to land on Ryukyu.

"You! You Devil!"

Kuramiya Shiren suddenly found that he couldn't find anything to describe Hu Ye, so why did he give him hope to go back to counterattack Kyushu, but he had to take away hope a little bit. If this continues, by the time he returns to Kyushu, his five thousand soldiers would probably be less than four thousand left. What else would he talk about capturing Kyushu?

"Damn it!"

On a boat in front, Ida Niyi pulled out his long knife, looked at the side of the ship with one knife, and said viciously.

He also saw the scene just now, but he had no choice but to ask for Hu Ye now, so he couldn't break up with Hu Ye. What's more, even if he broke up, his few people were not Hu Ye's opponent.

"In the King of Xia Ryukyu, welcome the general of the Ming Dynasty."

After Hu Ye's army landed, the King of Ryukyu quickly brought civil and military ministers to greet him. In their opinion, a general of the Ming Dynasty was more noble than his king, because Hu Ye's fleet could destroy Ryukyu many times.

"Your Majesty, you are our emperor's friend, and it is our duty to solve your troubles."

Hu Ye smiled, but accepted the salute of the King of Ryukyu, because he is now a general in the court, which means that the Ming Dynasty must have the majesty of the Supreme Kingdom.

"General, what's going on with those Japanese pirates?"

The King of Ryukyu said that Hu Ye took him into his palace, and then asked Hu Ye in a low voice.

"It's nothing. They are soldiers from Japan. This time I was ordered to escort them back to Japan. I took Ryukyu to come up to replenish some fresh water and food." Hu Ye said casually.

"Since they are Japanese pirates, why don't they kill them directly? They are people who do many evil deeds."

The King of Ryukyu said coldly. After this short period of contact, he found that Hu Ye was not the kind of decisive person who was so young, and might be able to take this opportunity to solve the problems of Ryukyu once and for all.

"What? Do you still need to teach me what to do?"

Hu Ye suddenly sneered, and the King of Ryukyu suddenly shivered. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have read it wrong, so he quickly called it yes.

"Is this your palace? Even my Duke's Mansion can't catch up. It's too terrible."

Zhu Neng looked up the chair and looked at the decorations around the palace. He could only use the word "poverty" to be said, but he was really not as good as his Duke Cheng's Mansion.

"Dare you ask me if this person?" Seeing that Zhu Neng was so careless in front of Hu Ye, the King of Ryukyu knew that this person was also a man of great origin.

"This is Duke Cheng of the Ming Dynasty, and this time he serves as the deputy commander of the entire fleet." Hu Ye said casually.

"Xiao Wang has met Duke Cheng."

The King of Ryukyu quickly saluted. A duke had a high status in the Ming Dynasty. When he came to Ryukyu, he would be even more noble. Although he didn't understand why Zhu Di sent a duke to a kid as his deputy. Could it be that this kid was Zhu Di's illegitimate son? Thinking about the King of Ryukyu a little more curious about Hu Ye.

"Okay, okay, don't talk much, bring you delicious food and drinks to me. These days, birds are about to fade out of the sea."

Zhu Neng said carelessly, he would not be polite to the King of Ryukyu. Isn’t it just a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and he dares to disrespect himself?

"Yes, Xiao Wang asked someone to prepare a dinner party, and there were a lot of supplies." The King of Ryukyu nodded quickly and said yes. He thought to himself that Duke Cheng was not as easy as Hu Ye to get along with. He was so rude, and he didn't know how he became Duke.

After sailing on the sea for more than ten days, the birds were almost fading out. Hu Ye looked at the seafood prepared by the King of Ryukyu and ate it voraciously. It was much better than the bean sprouts and beans on the boat. Even if he caught fish at the sea, there was not so much seasoning. He couldn't make such a delicious taste.

Xiaoqiang is really eating voraciously, like a starving ghost reincarnated, and he doesn't care about the fish bones, and he eats a bite of fish. He doesn't know why.

However, Mitogen Kuramiya and Nichi Ida were extremely cautious in eating because to them, the Ryukyu people were enemies. They used to bully Ryukyu people. Now Hu Ye is brave enough for Ryukyu people, and he is very worried that these Ryukyu people will have the intention to kill, and he is afraid that there will be medicine in these meals.

But seeing Hu Ye and the others enjoyed their meals, the Japanese finally couldn't help it and began to eat them. However, it was obvious that the Ryukyu people had any objections to them, and they didn't even have any seasonings in the food they gave them, and they didn't even have salt, but they all had a lot of fun eating them.

"Boy, eat more. After passing Ryukyu, there will be a long journey of sea."

Hu Ye threw a fish to Sun Hang. In fact, he dared to eat it so safely and boldly because Sun Hang was there. He was sure that there was no medicine in this product, so he dared to eat it with confidence.

"Dean, I..."

Sun Hang looked at the fish in the bowl and suddenly felt a little sore in his nose.

Hu Ye knew that this guy was homesick, and he thought about it. This guy was about the same age as him and had never traveled far away. Now he ran thousands of miles away. It was strange not to miss home. When he came to the Ming Dynasty, he was not much better than Sun Hang.

"It is a good thing to miss home, which means you still have sustenance in your heart, so you don't have to worry. It won't take long to go back to the Ming Dynasty."

Hu Ye patted Sun Hang's shoulder with his greasy right hand and comforted him quietly.

"You little brat, what kind of home do you want! We soldiers like us should be the whole world to make our home."

Zhu Neng came over with a glass of wine and said carelessly to Sun Hang, then forced Sun Hang to drink a glass of wine. After drinking one glass of wine, Sun Hang's face immediately turned red.

As the saying goes, you can be brave. After drinking, Sun Hang immediately became bolder and began to explain to the soldiers around him the glorious achievements of his and Lu Xun in the mountains outside Peiping to resist Zhu Di's siege. He did not pay attention to Zhu Neng's ugly face next to him, because he was the one who was the main attacker at the time.

"Forget it, let him go. One person has to grow up. Did you see those two people become active?"

Hu Ye grabbed Zhu Neng and pointed to Liu Guan and Zhao Kuo next to him. One of them stuttered before and the other was autistic, and now they are much better. Seeing that Sun Hang was so relaxed after drinking, they also started drinking, and then stopped stuttering. They began to explain the various things about the academy to the soldiers around them, which made the group of soldiers who had never studied envy.

As if he noticed something, Kuramiya Mitorihito and Ida Niichi nodded to each other, and then began to toast Hu Ye and others in a very flattering way.

The so-called "no slap" person with smiley faces is very dissatisfied with Kuramiya Miren, but seeing that they toasted so respectfully, Zhu Neng didn't refuse, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it. Then Nie Yuan and other soldiers also drank very drunk. (To be continued...)
