Four hundred and fiftieth chapters plus one
"Concession? What is a concession?"
After hearing the words of the man in white across from him, the Shimazu family was surprised and curious: "Are you Yang Xingzhou?"
Although he was young and lacked a sense of the overall situation, he was not stupid after all. In just two sentences, he had already guessed the identity of the man in white opposite him. He couldn't help but feel shocked, angry and afraid. Although the palace of his Zhongshan Kingdom could not compare
The security of the Central Plains Dynasty is very tight, but it is also three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. The interrogation is extremely strict, and it is impossible for ordinary experts to sneak in.
But after Yang Xingzhou arrived at the hall, not only did the guards outside not notice anything unusual, but neither he nor Mao Fengyi noticed it at all. If Yang Xingzhou hadn't taken the initiative to speak, they might not have been able to discover that there was an extra person in the hall until now.
.
The Shimazu family is just that, with almost no martial arts skills, but Mao Fengyi is a real martial arts master, rare in the entire Ryukyu Island. Even he did not notice Yang Xingzhou's arrival, which shows that Yang Xingzhou's light skills
His height and skill were beyond their imagination, so Shimazu Iehata was naturally frightened.
"Yes, I am Yang Xingzhou who killed Taro Hikawa Okamoto, and I am also the person you sent troops to kill."
Yang Xingzhou looked disdainfully at the Shimazu family, looked at Mao Fengyi and said, "Brother Mao, what did the two of us say before? I killed Hikawa Okamoto, and you gave me a piece of territory at the port, right?"
Mao Fengyi saw that Yang Xingzhou had murderous intent in his eyes. He must have had bad intentions when he broke into the palace this time. She couldn't help but feel uneasy, fearing that he would assassinate the king and kill him. She immediately responded: "Yes, I said that I will give you a piece of territory, and
I have already given it to you, Brother Yang, and I have not broken my promise. As for what happened this time, it was just a misunderstanding. Please listen to my explanation..."
"No misunderstanding!"
Yang Xingzhou shook his head and said: "You may know what I am like. I will kill anyone who dares to kill me. How dare you, the dog emperor, provoke me, how can I spare him?"
With a sway, he was next to Shimazu Iatehata, grabbed his neck and swung him out of the Jinluan Hall. With a "pop", he fell to the corridor outside the hall and passed out on the spot.
"From today on, everyone within the thirty-mile radius of Qiulong Port has the surname Yang! Within these thirty miles, I follow my own laws and go my own way, and I, the King of Heaven, cannot interfere. If you, the Kingdom of Zhongshan, dare to enter it at will,
I will kill you without mercy!"
After throwing Shimazu Iatehata away, Yang Xingzhou glanced at Mao Fengyi and strode out of the hall. When he passed by Shimazu Iatehata, he deliberately stepped on him, untied his pants and peed, and then
He woke up, laughed wildly, and left the palace.
After Shimazu regained consciousness, he was filled with fear. After soaking in the hot spring pool for a day, he fell ill the next day. He ignored Chao Zhen and entrusted all the affairs of the court to Mao Fengyi. He ate and drank to calm down the shock.
While drinking the requiem soup, I no longer dared to say anything against Yang Xingzhou.
But it was said that after Yang Xingzhou broke into the palace, he returned to the house to practice in seclusion, and Firebird flew to Taizhou with his letters, conveying his recent situation in Ryukyu. Taizhou magistrate Li Xunfeng had already prepared, and a large number of people in heaven had already gathered.
After getting the news, he secretly took a boat eastward from Taizhou. Within a few days, he arrived at Qiulong Port to pay homage to Yang Xingzhou.
These people are all members of the Tianting organization, and they are all selected from the best. Even if they are placed in the Jianghu, they are also outstanding people. After arriving at Qiulong Port, under Yang Xingzhou's order, they forcibly drove away the residents near Qiulong Port.
Those who left were given money and those who refused to leave were driven away. In less than three months, all the people within a thirty-mile radius of Qiulong Port were all Chinese, and all local residents were driven out.
Some people were dissatisfied and wanted to go to the court to quell the chaos, but unexpectedly, the court was also afraid of Yang Xingzhou. Mao Fengyi met with Yang Xingzhou in private and signed the "Qiulong Port Treaty", leasing Qiulong Port to Yang Xingzhou free of charge for one hundred years. During the contract period,
Qiulong Port is completely autonomous and fulfills the laws established by Yang Xingzhou. The Zhongshan Kingdom has no right to break into the concession. If anyone dares to break into the concession, Yang Xingzhou will give appropriate counterattacks.
After the signing of the treaty, Yang Xingzhou gave the Zhongshan State 10,000 taels of silver as the cost of demolition for nearby residents. It is unknown how much of this money will reach the hands of these people.
After that, a large-scale construction project was carried out, warehouses were built, and landmarks of the concession were set up to warn outsiders not to enter the concession at will. At the same time, a patrol security team was formed to roam around the concession and directly shoot and kill those who caused trouble.
Qiulong Port was also under control, and the port transactions were taxed, but it also ensured the security of the port and the fairness of transactions. As a result, it was very popular among maritime merchants. In just three months, the port trade surged.
Yang Xingzhou used the money earned from the port to build large ships and continuously move people from the inland. In just a few months, Qiulong Port had been built under the command of Yang Xingzhou, and it became a strange land on Ryukyu Island.
.
Nearly half a year passed, during which the monsoons were frequent, the waves were monstrous, and there were either strong winds or heavy rains. The Japanese fleet that Zhongshan had been worried about never arrived and could not come. After all, the weather was too bad.
It was nearly a year after Yang Xingzhou killed Taro Hikawa Okamoto before a fleet came from the Japanese country. At this time, Mao Fengyi had already made preparations in advance, calculated the landing site of the Japanese pirates, and built a defensive wall in advance.
When landing, the defenders bent their bows from a distance and shot the incoming enemy soldiers on the beach. The Japanese pirates had already damaged part of them before landing. When they landed, they were greeted by various traps and rolling stones.
A group of people who came ashore suffered almost all casualties.
By the time the second batch of troops came ashore, the number of casualties was reduced, but they still failed to land as expected. They had to go around to other ports, only to be met with fierce counterattacks. It was not until they returned to the initial landing point that they finally landed.
Finally, they rushed to Ryukyu Island and started a hand-to-hand battle with the defenders.
Once these Japanese soldiers landed, their combat effectiveness was unparalleled by the Ryukyu defenders. Not to mention one against ten, but one against five is not an exaggeration. Even though they were short and stooped, they were bow-legged and had bad hairstyles.
Although the Ryukyu defenders were prepared to meet the enemy in advance, they were still defeated step by step without fear of death.
The Japanese army that came this time consisted of six thousand elite soldiers, which showed that they were determined to win the Ryukyu Kingdom of Zhongshan. They prepared all their own troops, horses, food and grass, and charged all the way. In less than a month, they had already approached the capital of the Zhongshan Kingdom. General Mao Fengyi led his troops
After fighting bloody battles with the Japanese for three days and three nights, the enemy was finally defeated with a flow of blood.
But ten days later, the enemy came back again, finally broke through the capital, and burned and killed many officials and soldiers in the city. However, the emperor Shimazu Iatehata was never found, and even Mao Fengyi disappeared.
While they were searching the whole city, Mao Fengyi, Shimazu Iahata and others had already dressed up and arrived in the Qiulong Port Autonomous Region, asking Yang Xingzhou to help them. Even if the Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed, they hoped that Yang Xingzhou could send the king and his family out of Ryukyu.
If you go to the Central Plains and take root, you can at least preserve some blood for the kingdom.
"Are you trying to run away?"
Seeing Shimazu Iatehata and Mao Fengyi's group coming to ask for help, Yang Xingzhou asked with a smile: "So, if I send you to the Central Plains, this Ryukyu Island will be considered an ownerless thing?"
He said to the Shimazu family: "It will be no problem for me to send you to the Central Plains to settle down. As a reward, would you consider giving me this Ryukyu? Or you can lend it to me. Lend it to me."
Thirty years later, your Shimazu family will come to claim your land back in accordance with the contract."
Shimazu Iehata didn't want to sign a contract with Yang Xingzhou at first, but then he thought about it, he couldn't live on this island in the first place, and lending it to Yang Xingzhou was just a joke. Besides, it was only lent to him for thirty years, which was nothing.
After pondering for a while, he signed a "Ryukyu Concession Contract" with Yang Xingzhou and leased it to Yang Xingzhou for thirty years. Thirty years later, the Shimazu family came back to ask for the territory from Yang Xingzhou. If the territory was still occupied by the Japanese, they would do it at that time.
Negotiate.
It's just that the format of this contract is a bit weird, with huge gaps between the characters and a lot of blank spaces. Shimazu Iehata and others thought this was what the Central Plains contract looked like, but it was just like him and they signed it happily.
After the contract was signed and everyone was packed up and sent to the Central Plains, Yang Xingzhou took out his brush and added a stroke to the word "ten" in "thirty years", turning it into a lease of three thousand years. Then he nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
