The terrain of Xiaoliuqiu Island is a bit similar to a barbell, with narrow middle and thick ends. The gathering point on the island in later generations was concentrated in Naha at the western end of the island. The Okinawa base is located in the narrow area in the middle of the island.

As long as it is blocked here, both ends of the island will be artificially isolated from land.

The current "King Capital" is located in the middle of the island. Perhaps when Shuntian founded the country, it was also for the purpose of facilitating control of the entire island that the capital was located in the middle of the narrow and long terrain.

After the Ming fleet led by Gao Mingshi captured the entire island by force, the capital naturally became a temporary stronghold for the Ming army. In order to better conquer the hearts of the people and maintain the local authority and rule of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Mingshi asked someone to tie the powerful people headed by the Prime Minister Tang Wan to the open space of the capital, and summoned all islanders to watch the execution.

Although the accompanying Japanese crew suggested lighting a sky lantern for Tommaru and others, or dancing a raincoat and clothes. In Fusang, this is the "program" that the upper-class powerful people like to watch the most. But Gao Mingshi and others have not yet had such a twisted artistic pursuit! After all, in their opinion, the execution was not to satisfy their distorted desires, but to let all the islanders know why the Ming army they represented punished these people. In order to promote the justice of the Ming army, it can also be more conquered.

Therefore, the "reproach" conference and trial that are very common on the Shandong battlefield were immediately staged on Xiaoliuqiu Island. The arranged islanders acted as guides to throw bricks and attract jade, and went on stage to talk about the persecution of the group led by Tang Wan.

For example, he stole his daughter, defiled his wife's body, and even didn't let his son go, which made people cry, which made people feel that Tang Wan and others were all unforgivable birds.

There are also those who used criminal law to harm people's lives. Although there was a suspicion of the Ming army leading the show from it, the truth was later mentioned. Some islanders who did have bitterness to spit out of it took the initiative to go to the front stage, and talked loudly about their own sufferings in cursing.

The final highlight is the king - Yoshimoto.

Although he had no prestige on the island, his reputation was still there. At this moment, he cried and climbed onto the stage, choked up and talked about the oppression and harsh treatment of Tang Wan and others on him. Finally, he changed the topic and talked about the arrival of Ming Dynasty that changed his situation.

I don’t know who taught him this, but anyway, his words really increased the islanders’ sense of substitution. In addition, what the Ming army did these days, the islanders felt that with the Ming army, this kind of free life that had never been enjoyed could last.

Some of the children arranged by the Ming army immediately knelt down and prayed loudly to the Ming army to stay forever. Yoshimoto was also crying, begging the Ming army to continue to stay and protect them as if his parents had died. It seemed that as soon as the Ming army left, the people on the island would die.

In fact, according to the current underdeveloped navigation technology, it is still difficult for Xiaoliuqiu Island to encounter foreign invasions in a short period of time. Of course, this is the case where the Ming army entered the field.

However, the islanders didn't think so! Perhaps they had seen the terribleness of the Ming army, which made them mistakenly think that the continents outside the island were full of such terrible enemies. So when they found that although the Ming army was a little fierce to the enemy, as long as they became their own people, they were still very beneficial, so they just wanted to hug this pretty thick leg.

As for other powerful countries on the mainland, they do not have the courage to bet that the other party will be as kind as the Ming army.

When the scene was about to climax, Gao Mingshi finally agreed to the request of Yoshimoto and others, leaving three or two people to continue to maintain order on the island after leaving the fleet. At the same time, he also asked someone to take Yoshimoto back to Kyushu Island by boat. After asking for a local prefect, he went to Beijing to request to submit.

Such examples of surrendering to the whole country have made contributions. In the past, there was a guardian of the horse, and Gao Mingshi entered Tianyan. It is very happy to be able to leave an impression in front of the king. For example, after Zulbe reported this mission to explore Ryukyu Island, he also received the evaluation of Ulutus, saying, "It is brave and resourceful, and it is very useful."

Therefore, Gao Mingshi worked hard to do this job so that he could leave a better impression in front of Ulutus. It would not be impossible to become a chief official in the future. Under the vibrant Ming system, it would be much easier to make a name for himself than a country that had been stable for a hundred years.

Before surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, Gao Mingshi never thought that he would achieve what he is today.

As an outsider, Wei Wenyuan felt that Mingguo was so kind. He actually conquered the people on the island in such a short time. He was more confident about the journey ahead.

According to the plan, the end of this trip is the Ryukyu Islands. The return journey does not go to the Ryukyu Islands. Instead, it goes north along the coast of Fujian, passes through the coast of Song, and goes directly to the Haizhou Port of Ming. In this way, a perfect closed loop can be formed on the sailing.

This also greatly contributes to the subsequent development of Ming Dynasty's maritime routes.

After arranging the trivial matters of Xiaoliuqiu Island, the fleet set off again. Although there were several old crew members in the fleet, there were more guides. They were islanders hired from Xiaoliuqiu Island. They were very familiar with this sea area. They could give the fleet timely guidance where there were many fishing catches, wherever there were shallows and where there were prone to bumps and other things.

Wei Wenyuan also played the role of translator and played his role just right.

After another three or five days of sailing, the fleet also arrived at the next destination - the Sea of ​​the Xiandao Island. This is an archipelago mainly consisting of Miyako Island, Ishigaki Island and Nishimo Island, which is very close to Ryukyu Island.

Wei Wenyuan was fortunate to visit the sea map that Gao Mingshi regarded as Tianen, and was also suspicious of which islands that sounded fresh. Judging from the performance of the fleet, it was obviously the first time I came to this sea. Why did the map have clearly marked the direction and name, and even the size and shape, and there were basic descriptions.

Such meticulousness is basically impossible for outsiders to know about it except for the islanders who live in this sea area all year round.

Gao Mingshi seemed to see Wei Wenyuan's doubts and explained that this was given by their king Wulutus. The king who received the blessing of immortality, with the blessing of omnipotent divine power, could naturally predict the future.

Although such an explanation will only cause a wave of disdain in later generations, Wei Wenyuan vaguely believed the statement of coaxing a three-year-old child. After all, in an era when science was not popular, the strange powers and chaos have always had a market.
