A few days after the squadron landed on the Ryukyu Islands, Wang Guorui ordered to start arranging a dock and military port in this Ryukyu Islands, and then prepared to arrange for long-term warships to station there. ,.╭.o╮However, at this time, a telegram was suddenly sent from the navy of the Ryukyu Islands to the capital.

"Your Majesty, the troops of the Ryukyu Islands have sent a message saying that the Japanese have released the last Ryukyu king, Shang Tai, and then he wants to be the king again. He thinks that we are restoring the country for them, so he hopes that we can Support him again as the king of Ryukyu." said Li Zhanfeng, head of the attendant room.

After hearing this, Wang Guorui immediately laughed and said: "This Shangtai really wants to marry a wife in broad daylight, and he only wants to have a beautiful thing? He doesn't even take pictures of himself, so why should we be obliged to work for them for nothing? Restoring the country? What's more, didn't he accept the canonization of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Yes, according to the records, in 1866 AD, he accepted the title of King of Zhongshan conferred by the Qing Dynasty." Li Zhanfeng replied.

"Since he is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, he is also our enemy!" Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui's meaning is very obvious, that is, this guy should not be left behind. Since he accepted the canonization of the Qing Dynasty, he is not a vassal state of China, so they are already the subjects of an enemy, so naturally they are not a vassal state of China. country, you can directly destroy him.

In Ryukyu, Shang Tai, who is in his fifties, still feels very proud. He finally waited until the time when China helped him restore the country, and the Japanese told him that the Chinese had already captured this Ryukyu, and the Japanese had to put their whole family back. The whole family of Shangtai returned to Ryukyu, thinking that they could regain the position of King of Ryukyu. And now that China is strong again, King Shangtai of Ryukyu is very satisfied. He is in his fifties and has been under house arrest in Japan for many years, and finally returned here. Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing in Japan, he is also under house arrest. Where can and go back to your own country. Then it’s refreshing to be a king? So they all hope to come back. Since China can help them restore their country, then they can all gain power.

"Are you the so-called King of Zhongshan in the Qing Dynasty, Shangtai?" said a colonel of the Marine Corps.

That Shang Tai said immediately; "Yes. Xiao Wang is also Shang Tai, and he has met the general of Shangguo!"

Shang Tai is also very humble. Then he looked very humble. After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Although his status as a king is much higher than that of a general, at least he has to be very polite before returning to the country.

"Get it for me!" said the colonel.

Soon, the marines arrested Shang Tai and his family members, apparently not treating them as Ryukyu kings at all.

"General, what are you doing? What are you doing? I am the King of Ryukyu. I am the King of Ryukyu!" Shang Tai asked hastily.

"China doesn't recognize the Ryukyu king, so this Ryukyu is our territory, so we don't recognize the Ryukyu kingdom. We took it from the Japanese. We don't know the Ryukyu kingdom. Do you understand?" Said the team colonel.

Shang Tai immediately asked: "Isn't our Ryukyu a vassal state of the Shang Kingdom? Isn't it the responsibility of the Shang Kingdom to help the vassal state restore the country?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have any vassal states. Our new court advocates equal exchanges with other countries, so there won't be any vassal states."

Shang Tai was stunned immediately, not knowing what was going on. Although he knows that China has changed dynasties, he should still recognize him as a Ryukyu! Since the Ming Dynasty, or even earlier. They also have contacts with China. Even in the Ming Dynasty, it was a vassal state of China. This kind of vassal state is actually the most unscrupulous. They guys are mothers if they have milk. No matter which government in the Central Plains comes, they will also admit that the Central Plains is their vassal state. And once the old court in the Central Plains is destroyed, they will immediately turn their faces and deny anyone.

The disaster in the last years of the Ming Dynasty is enough to explain the capricious, despicable and shameless nature of these so-called vassal states. They will follow you when they encounter benefits, and will choose to betray immediately if there are no benefits. They have always followed whoever is strong, and then the Central Plains dynasty declined. They don't mind cutting a piece of meat from it, and then follow the new strong to mix. So count on these vassals to have moral integrity. That is impossible. And Wang Guorui also intends to give up the situation of leadership in name only, and change it to control from economy to military. In this way they will definitely be controlled by China. At that time, they can be said to have become China's lackeys, unable to resist at all. In the future, they will be completely tied to China and must become China's lackeys.

"Then I was a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty back then! I was also conferred the King of Zhongshan by the Qing Dynasty!" Shang Tai said.

"This is the reason why we arrested you! Because the so-called Manchu Qing is our enemy, not the legal government of China. And our new China inherited the legal system of the Ming Dynasty, so since you accepted the canonization of the Manchu Qing, That would be considered a betrayal of our China, and no longer a vassal state of our China. Anyone who accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty back then, we would all be willing to support the original family to become the new monarch.”

"Then we have also received Daming's canonization!" Shang Tai said.

"But you also accepted the canonization of the Manchu Qing, then you are the Zhongshan King of the Manchu Qing, who betrayed the Ming Dynasty. You are our Chinese enemy. Therefore, we have only one way to deal with the enemy, kill!"

Shang Tai felt confused. Isn’t this the rule of China since ancient times? Whoever controls the Central Plains, they will also rely on whom, so the new dynasty will most likely recognize those so-called vassal states. But now this new dynasty has such a serious "cleanliness obsession", anyone who has received the canonization of the Manchu Qing is considered a betrayal. Conscience of heaven and earth, Ryukyu is just a small country, so of course they just drift with the tide. The Ming Dynasty was strong, so they naturally took refuge in the Ming Dynasty and became the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. But later the Manchus ruled China, that is, they took refuge in the Manchus, and this was also the way for their small country to survive.

But now the new imperial court thinks that it is a betrayal for them to seek refuge in the Qing Dynasty, which makes Shangtai feel speechless. If they hadn't turned to the Manchus in time, would they have been able to survive? They were a small country in the cracks between the big countries, wouldn't they just follow whoever was strong? But when it came to Wang Guorui, it didn't work, and they didn't "understand" at all. "They are small countries. Originally, the Central Plains dynasty would also choose to recognize the capriciousness of such a small country, and choose not to care by default. But now Wang Guorui doesn't approve of it. They accept the canonization of Manchu, which is actually a betrayal. So naturally Wang Guorui would not let them go.

"General, our Ryukyu is weak and we can't help ourselves!" Shang Tai said immediately.

However, those marines obviously received the order, and they didn't pay attention to the Ryukyu king's statement at all, and directly pulled them away, and then prepared to shoot them. Because in Wang Guorui's eyes, all these vassal states that had been enshrined by the Qing Dynasty were also people who betrayed China, so there was no need to keep them.

As for their so-called difficulties, Wang Guorui expressed disapproval and understanding. Anyway, Wang Guorui is strong, he can do whatever he says. Wang Guorui "didn't understand" their difficulties, so he had to kill them. Anyway, whoever has the biggest fist in this world is justified. The so-called reason is based on force. If justice has no force, it is "evil". So no matter how reasonable what Shang Tai said, if Wang Guorui had mastered absolute force, he would be useless.

For the betrayers, there is only one end, only death! If the betrayers are not punished, then there will definitely be many people who will betray in the future, because this is to encourage betrayal.

"Da da da da..."

Shang Tai and his whole family were also shot, and the reason was because they were the kings of Zhongshan conferred by the Manchu Qing. Since the Manchu Qing was the enemy of China, it was naturally impossible to let their enemies go. That is to tell those so-called vassal states that if they betray China casually, then when China becomes stronger again in the future, they will definitely let them go. At that time, they will definitely die, and they will never let them go~www. lightnovelpub.net~ Wang Guorui just wants to kill the chicken for the monkeys to show, so that the kings of the so-called vassal states know that anyone who betrays China will not end well. Anyone who betrayed China and accepted the canonization of the so-called foreign invaders will definitely not let them go after China is restored again, and their royal families and rulers will undoubtedly die.

As for their so-called "embarrassment", Wang Guorui would not forgive them anyway. Anyone who betrays cannot be kept. Only by punishing traitors with the most severe means can we avoid betrayal. Since ancient times, whether to betray or not depends on the price of betrayal. Wang Guorui believes that there is no absolute loyalty in this world, it just depends on whether the price of betrayal is enough. And the harshest punishment for the betrayer is to increase the cost of betrayal even more. Only by increasing the price of betrayal indefinitely can the fear of those who want to treason be raised and their "loyalty" guaranteed. Tolerance to the betrayer is the greatest cruelty to oneself. It encourages others to betray and lowers the price of the betrayer.

Therefore, Wang Guoruifan is the so-called vassal state that has received the canonization of the Manchu Dynasty. Those vassal states in the Nanyang region who have received the canonization of the Manchu Dynasty must die and be exterminated. As for whether they resisted, Wang Guorui had no control over it. If they have the ability to resist, then they should resist. Anyway, in the face of absolute strength, everything is not worth mentioning. (Www.cK;)
