Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God
Chapter 39: The Ryukyu King's Visit
Wei Xiaobao stood in the crowd and saw the official in charge of the dock. Half an hour after he got on board, a general, surrounded by a group of soldiers, walked out of the side door of the ship. The dock manager was also among the crowd.
The direction this group of people was heading was towards the west city gate ten miles away.
A large group of people who came to watch the fun also followed the group towards the west city gate, and Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er were among them.
Half an hour later, the group of people arrived at the city gate, but were stopped by the Tiandi Army guarding the city gate.
A platoon of Tiandi Army surrounded them, and Zhuge Crossbows were all aimed at the group of people!
"Who are you? Why are there so many soldiers carrying swords?" asked a platoon leader of the Tiandi Army.
Xiao Jin saw that the formation was not right, and quickly replied: "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong! We are one family, one family!"
Huang Shiming, who followed him, also said, "Platoon Leader Liu is on duty!"
Platoon Leader Liu of the Tiandi Army certainly knew the dock manager Huang Shiming. Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Platoon Leader Liu relaxed his tense nerves a little, but did not order the crossbowmen to put down the crossbows.
"Platoon Leader Liu, let me introduce him to you." Huang Shiming pointed at Xiao Jin and said, "This is Xiao Jin, the Great General of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the father of your Captain Xiao."
Xiao Jin, when Wei Xiaobao heard the name, he couldn't help but look at the general leading the team a few more times.
When Platoon Leader Liu heard that it was Captain Xiao's father who had arrived, he waved his hand and asked the crossbowmen behind him who were aiming at the group of people to put down their crossbows.
"Since Captain Xiao's father has arrived, please wait here for a moment. We will inform Captain Xiao immediately."
After saying this, he sent a soldier to report to Captain Xiao, and then asked someone to bring tables and chairs, make some tea, and let Xiao Jin and Huang Shiming sit down and wait at the city gate.
Xiao Jin wanted to get angry when he was asked to wait for his son, but considering the important task of recruiting the amnesty, he endured it and thought he would deal with this unfilial son when he got home.
Another half hour later, the sound of horse hooves came from the city, and a regiment commander, Xiao You, arrived at the west gate with several guards.
"Dad..." Xiao You shouted in surprise after getting off the horse.
"You still remember that I am your father. You have grown powerful enough to make me wait at the city gate for so long!" Xiao Jin was angry, but when he saw his son wearing armor and looking heroic, his heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
"Dad, I'm busy with military affairs!"
Then Xiao You asked again: "Dad, weren't you accompanying the king in Yaeyama? When did you return to Shuri Castle?"
"I just got back today. You'er, take dad to meet your uncle Yang. Dad has important matters to discuss with my sworn brother." Xiao Jin did not waste a moment and wanted to complete the Zhao'an matter as soon as possible.
Afterwards, Captain Xiao led the group to the former Ryukyu Kingdom's General's Mansion, now Hongwu Hall, the headquarters of the Tiandi Revolutionary Army.
When Wei Xiaobao knew at the city gate that Prince Shangwen had returned, he knew something must have happened.
So, he ended his rare leisure time and returned to the palace.
Wei Xiaobao had just taken a bath to wash off the dust of the past few days. In the palace hall, a large group of people including Mao Shiba, Yang Lin, Wu Sanniang, Xiao You, Zhang Dahu, Li Yongjun... were already waiting.
"Greetings, Sect Master!" As soon as Wei Xiaobao arrived, everyone praised him.
"No need to be polite, just take a seat!" Wei Xiaobao is a modern man after all, and he is not used to talking with a group of people standing below him. After occupying the palace, he asked people to set up tables and chairs on both sides of the room, just like the meeting hall of Longya Village.
"Master, King Shangwen of the Ryukyu Kingdom has docked at the pier west of the city with three warships and sent the General of the Cavalry to issue a call for amnesty." Yang Lin reported.
"Well, I already know about this matter. If you have any opinions, please tell me!"
"I will listen to my sect leader brother. If he tells me to kill, I will go and kill that damn prince Shangwen." Mao Shiba said in a thunderous voice.
"An imperial edict? Ever since my great-grandfather Duke Yang was wronged seventy years ago, the royal family has never done anything to vindicate our Yang family in the past few decades. They even sent troops to attack Longya Village many times. Now that we have occupied Shuri Castle, we want to take it back without any soldiers and with just an imperial edict. You're dreaming!" Yang Lin said angrily.
"Master, now smokeless gunpowder can be made into white phosphorus grenades. Although it is not as powerful as white phosphorus bombs, it is easier to carry, safer, and has a higher production volume.
If smokeless gunpowder is loaded into a matchlock gun, the projectile would only have a range of 70 to 80 steps in the past, but now it can reach 200 steps, but the technology is still immature and the barrel is more likely to explode.
But please rest assured, Master, we are confident that we can overcome the difficulties." Qiu Daoji assured.
"I asked you to talk about the Zhao'an incident, but you ended up talking about the equipment." Wu Sanniang interrupted Qiu Daoji and interjected.
"Call for peace. We have white phosphorus bombs, Zhuge crossbows, and fine steel Tang swords to beat the Japanese into a pulp. Now we have smokeless gunpowder. What's the point of calling for peace? Just throw bombs at anyone you're upset with. What's the point of calling for peace?"
"Ha, ha ha," Mao Shiba laughed, "throwing bombs, I like it."
Wu Sanniang teased, "All you two know is fighting and killing each other."
"Master, I, Wu Sanniang, am a wanted criminal of the Qing court, and the Tiandihui is even more of a thorn in the side of Emperor Kangxi. What if the King of Ryukyu orders us to death and then sells us out? What should we do?"
Yes, now we are all members of the Tiandihui. Killing the donkey after it has done its job is the tradition of all emperors!
Everyone looked at Wei Xiaobao in unison.
Wei Xiaobao had already thought about how to deal with the Ryukyu King while he was taking a bath in the bathtub.
"Do you still remember the purpose of our Tiandi Revolutionary Army?" Wei Xiaobao asked.
"To establish a mission for Heaven and Earth, and to bring peace to the people," the people below answered in unison.
Wei Xiaobao continued, "To establish a destiny for the world and bring peace to the people, we must build a country that works for the benefit of the people, a country where the people can be the masters of their own country, and a fair, honest, and efficient system of governing officials, so that there will be no exploitation or oppression in this country, and everyone will have something to do, a house to live in, clothes to wear, and food to eat..."
Wei Xiaobao described a paradise-like country, which made everyone fascinated. In everyone's heart, such a beautiful country is a paradise on earth!
"You say, can the King of Ryukyu lead us to realize this paradise on earth?"
"No!" everyone below shouted in unison.
"Since the King of Ryukyu cannot do it, the King of Ryukyu's request for amnesty is not feasible!"
Wei Xiaobao paused for a moment, then continued in a decisive tone:
"Then we only have two options left for the King of Ryukyu: either submit to the Tiandihui or perish!"
"it is good!"
"Good! Good!"
……
Good voice
Everyone in the audience stood up involuntarily, applause and cheers resounded throughout the room!
"Ding Dong"
At this moment, the system sound in Wei Xiaobao's mind rang.
"Main quests are now being issued"
"Mission Objective: Conquer the Ryukyu Kingdom"
“Mission duration: three months”
"Mission penalty: If the mission is not completed, one of the host's relatives will be randomly killed."
"Task Reward: Complete the task on time and receive a silver treasure chest."
What the hell, killing relatives for failing to complete the mission???
