Ryukyu, eight thousand can’t even afford it!

But they frowned secretly, gritting their teeth without objection.

Japan gathered more than 100,000 troops on Jiuguo Island. This is their heart sting. If they don’t get rid of it for a day, they will be unable to sleep or eat for a day!

Zhang Yun looked at Shang Jing with a look of surprise. This woman was about the same age as her, but she didn't expect that she would say something with courage. She was neither humble nor arrogant in such a scene, and her temperament must be extraordinary.

‘Is this the woman who Ryukyu is going to send to the palace?’ Zhang Yun couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Zhu Xu looked at Shang Jing with a normal expression. His fingers slowly tapped on the table. His eyes turned to Li Jue, Li Hui, Shang Lian and Badali, and said with a smile: "Sit down. Today is my banquet for you. Let me think about these things and give you a reply."

The few people frowned when they heard Zhu Xu's words. This was obviously a deliberate delay. The Ming Dynasty was unwilling to send troops to protect them again!

Li Nei, Li Hui and Shang Lian were all chilling. If the Ming Dynasty did not protect them, North Korea and Ryukyu would be swallowed up by Japan again sooner or later!

Before the three of them could speak, Shang Jing suddenly spoke again, looking at Zhu Xu, with a crisp voice and said, "Your Majesty, if Japan occupies Ryukyu and invades North Korea, can the Ming Dynasty really be safe? The disaster in the Ming Dynasty is getting worse and worse, the national treasury is empty and cannot support too many troops, but the more at this time, the more powerful the army is to maintain. The Ming Dynasty wants to survive the disaster safely and the four realms are stable. It is definitely not enough for a martial arts exercise, whether it is Jiannu or the Westerners,

As for Annan, these are not enough to shock the ambitiousness of other wealthy and wolf countries! The daughter of the lower minister dares to ask His Majesty, if one day, the Japanese occupy North Korea and use this springboard to start the war in Liaodong, and collude with Chahar, join forces with the slaves and bandits, join forces, or look at each other at the end, the Ming Dynasty's troops have been cut by half. At that time, will your Majesty still have confidence to deal with it? If the soldiers are continuous, how can the Ming Dynasty win? At that time, everything will be too late!"

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was quite surprised when he looked at Shang Jing.

Although she was a little alarmist and deliberately "intimidated" him, there were no logical loopholes, and when implemented according to "common reason", it would indeed form the situation she said. If these words were said to the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty, I believe that they would definitely fool many people into believing them.

Li and Li Hui turned to look at Shang Jing involuntarily. They only thought that the Japanese Congress occupied North Korea and started war on the Ming Dynasty, but they did not expect that this little girl actually pulled Chahar in. The situation was suddenly different and more convincing!

Shang Lian had always known that his daughter was smart, but he did not expect that she could say such "very insightful" words in front of His Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Yun watched Zhu Xu's smile gradually curling his lips, as if he couldn't hide it. His pretty face looked solemn, and he whispered: "Emperor."

Zhu Xu really couldn't hide it anymore. These people had fallen into the pit, so they couldn't help it.

Hearing Zhang Yun suddenly speaking, he was stunned and turned to look at her.

Zhang Yun's pretty face remained motionless and he quietly blinked at him.

Zhu Xu smiled more with a smile, with a slightly calm face, turned to Li Nai, Li Hui, Shang Lian, Shang Jing and others, and said hesitantly: "Water, has it really gathered more than 100,000 troops on Jiuguo Island? Is it because of the news that Japan has no national strength to start the war again?"

Li Ju immediately said, "Your Majesty! More than 100,000 troops have gathered since the beginning of the year. It is an obvious rebellion to quell the Jiuguo Island, but in fact, everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart! How many civil unrest can a mere Jiuguo Island have to use more than 100,000 troops!"

Seeing that Zhu Xu was loose, Shang Lian said immediately: "Your Majesty, unknown ships often appear near Ryukyu recently. My subordinates suspect that Japan intends to invade Ryukyu again!"

Zhu Xu tapped the table with his fingers, looked at the few people, and said slowly: "You have been in the capital for many days, and you all know the 'new policy' of the Ming Dynasty. The cabinet and the Ministry of War are determined to disarmament. Not only do they want to withdraw the troops stationed in the vassal state, but they will also cut hundreds of thousands of yuan in the Ming Dynasty. In recent years, disasters in various places have become more and more serious. The court has to allocate tens of millions of grain every year to provide disaster relief. It is indeed impossible to fight. Even if you are willing to pay for the money, the court may not agree. But there are other ways?"

Li Nei, Li Hui, Shang Lian and others looked solemn. They knew the situation of the Ming Dynasty. As soon as they arrived in the capital, they asked to meet many senior officials of the Ming Dynasty, cabinet, and the people of the Ministry of War. They also explained to them many times, but they are now facing the disaster of national destruction, so how can they give up easily!

Except for the Ming army stationed near their capital, these kings and prime ministers could not think of any other way!

Shang Jing looked at Zhu Xu, gritted her teeth, stepped out, and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I, Ryukyu, are I willing to go to the country name officially and become a province of the Ming Dynasty. Can I station troops in accordance with the regulations of the Ming Dynasty?"

Last year, in order to deal with the invasion of Japan, Ryukyu wrote a letter to the Ming Dynasty and incorporated it into the Ming Dynasty, but this was just a "stoppable plan". Although Ryukyu King Shang Feng issued an edict, it did not cause much reaction in Ryukyu. Not many people in Ryukyu thought that the Ming Dynasty would really accept Ryukyu. If they wanted to, it would be fine two hundred years ago. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty did not seriously annex Ryukyu, but only stationed troops and symbolically sent some officials.

The national power of Ryukyu is now in the hands of the Prime Minister Shanglian, and King Shangfeng is still the King of Ryukyu.

As soon as Shang Jing said, Shang Lian's face was shocked, Li Nei and Li Hui's face also changed drastically!

They needed the protection of the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't want to be really annexed by the Ming Dynasty, so they couldn't help but look at Zhu Xu together. However, when they saw His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty frowned and looked a little impatient, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, Zhu Xu's words will make them feel completely at ease.

"I and the Ming Dynasty court never thought of annexing Korea or Ryukyu. You have been here for many days, and I believe we know that. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I have never invaded vassal states and sought annexation." Zhu Xu looked at the people calmly and said.

Li Jue, Shang Lian and others' expressions were relaxed. Zhu Xu was talking about the facts, and Annan was also caused by the special situation.

Shang Jing knelt on the ground and continued, "I know that if the country is named in name, the political system will be the same as the Ming Dynasty. If the taxes are paid as usual, they will still be handled by the vassal states. I wonder if Your Majesty can send troops to protect our vassal states?"

Li Jue, Li Hui and Shang Lian's faces changed slightly again. No matter whether they are true or false, they are actually going to the country name. No matter how much they admire the Ming Dynasty, this is an unacceptable move!

But for a moment, they didn't know what to say. They were facing the threat from Japan and urgently needed the protection of the Ming Dynasty. They could not refuse any possibility, could not offend the Ming Dynasty, and could not show their "disobedient heart".

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, and looked at Shang Jing with even more surprise and deep eyes.

This woman's courage is really extraordinary. Is she testing or is she sure that the Ming Dynasty did not annex Korea and the Ryukyu heart?

Zhu Xu was deliberately making things difficult for Ryukyu and North Korea to prepare for the next annexation, but the topic came directly here, so we need to be cautious so that they would not notice it in advance and cause trouble in the future.

"What do you think?" Zhu Xu looked at Li Nai, Li Hui, and Shang Lian, and threw the topic back.

The three of them were all changing. On the one hand, they were "reluctant" in the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, they urgently needed the protection of the Ming Dynasty. They needed to keep the Ming army in their country without offending the Ming Dynasty.

Li Nei and Li Hui's eyes flashed and he couldn't decide. This was a big deal for them.

Shang Lian suddenly relaxed his eyebrows, raised his hand to look at Zhu Xu and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, Ryukyu is willing."

There are several reasons why Shang Lian agreed so quickly.

As soon as it came, Ryukyu had agreed last year, but the "program" had not been completed.

Secondly, he believed that Daming really did not have the ambition and necessity to annex Ryukyu. This is a historical proof of the Central Plains dynasty for more than two hundred or even more than two thousand years.

Third, it was too far apart from the Ming Dynasty and Ryukyu. It took more than a month to cross the ocean and go back and forth, and there was a natural barrier.

Fourth, even Ryukyu is also seeking prosperity and strength, and needs to learn from the Ming Dynasty and change. This is an opportunity.

These reasons combined prompted Shang Lian to nod.

But North Korea is different from Ryukyu. North Korea has been established for hundreds of years. Regardless of whether the Ming Dynasty had the intention to annex North Korea or not, it was not a trivial matter to remove the country's name.

The difficulty lies in the fact that more than 100,000 Japanese troops gathered on Jiuguo Island, facing North Korea across the sea, staring at them!
