The sound of waves is the main tone of the island at night.

After resting for one night in Michila Bastion, Xiao Ming took the map provided by Claire and began to officially take over Ryukyu Island and Relanja City the next day.

Luo Xin was ordered to take two thousand soldiers to garrison in the city of Relanja. Xiao Ming and Lu Fei took two thousand people to the sugar cane planting area marked on the map, while the remaining soldiers were responsible for the city defense in Michila Bastion.

“Your Highness, where are you going?”

The army was gathering, and Xiao Ming and Lu Fei were preparing to set off, when a voice came.

Xiao Ming looked and saw Claire and Rhodes walking towards them. He said, “Count Claire, I am about to send someone to inform you that we are now preparing to take over Ryukyu Island.”

“Your Highness, we are here for this matter. “After a night of painful psychological struggle, Claire finally chose to further harmonize her relationship with King Qi.

“Really? What a coincidence. I am going to inspect the sugar cane plantation and taste the white sugar here.”

When Claire heard this, the muscles on his face trembled, and he felt a burst of pain.

They had worked hard to operate this large-scale sugar cane plantation in Ryukyu for more than forty years, but now the sugar cane that was about to mature became Xiao Ming’s in the blink of an eye.

In addition to sugar cane plantations, there are also large tracts of rice fields on Ryukyu Island. These rice fields are harvested three times a year, providing them with sufficient food. This food is even sold to the British, Spanish, and French in exchange for money.

Reluctantly showing a smile, Claire said: “Then let me lead His Highness there so that we can formally hand over the handover. The natives here don’t know His Highness. I’m worried that there will be conflicts.”

“That’s very good, but from now on they are The people of Dayu are no longer indigenous.” Xiao Ming deliberately emphasized the word “indigenous” because these two words contain too much discrimination.

Claire was stunned for a moment, and his expression became more solemn. In his opinion, this was a dangerous signal, because he saw in Xiao Ming a sign that a nation was about to awaken.

“Okay.” Claire’s smile was awkward, and he and Rhodes looked at each other and walked towards the island.

Xiao Ming and Lu Fei followed the two of them and walked northeast along the path extending from Michila Castle. After walking twenty miles, a wide sugar cane field appeared in front of them.

These sugar canes are very dense, about three meters high, and they are so densely packed that they block the view. You can’t even see the edge when looking from the edge.

“Your Highness, this is our sugar cane field. These sugar canes can be planted for one season every year. This place is very suitable for growing sugar cane. Every sugar cane is very sweet.” Claire introduced to Xiao Ming.

After a pause, he pointed to the large rice field opposite the sugar cane field and said: “This area is filled with rice, which matures in three seasons every year.”

“It matures in three seasons!” Lu Fei’s mouth opened wide, and he said to Xiao Ming: “Your Highness , This makes a lot of money, there are three rice crops every year, how much more rice will be harvested?”

Zhao Long and Zhao Hu followed Xiao Ming, also looking excited.

“So how many people are responsible for growing sugar cane and rice on the island?” Xiao Ming asked.

Claire said: “The soil here… no, there are 30,000 people, 10,000 of whom are responsible for sugar cane gardens, and the remaining 20,000 are responsible for planting rice. The sugar cane gardens in this area are about 50,000 acres, and the rice fields are about 10 Fifty thousand acres.”

“This is really a big fortune.” Xiao Ming was beaming with excitement. Taking Ryukyu was like adding a granary to him.

If he lets Xiao Wenxuan move another 50,000 to 60,000 people to Ryukyu Island to open up wasteland, then Ryukyu will show greater value.

Claire nodded, “Indeed, Your Highness, this is enough to prove our sincerity. I hope Your Highness can also show your sincerity.”

“Isn’t it enough for me to lead an army this time to prove my sincerity? Oh, of course. I will definitely not let you suffer in trade,” Xiao Ming said calmly.

After talking, the group visited the planting group under the leadership of Claire. The most important thing was that Claire introduced the supervisor in charge of the plantation and rice fields to Xiao Ming.

“Lin Fu, your highness.” A dark and thin young man saluted Xiao Ming with a thick Fuzhou accent in his tone.

Hearing this authentic dialect, Xiao Ming understood that this person was not from the main island of Ryukyu, but had migrated from across the sea. He said: “Claire made it very clear. From now on, this island belongs to me. You The people under my jurisdiction also belong to me, do you understand?”

Lin Fu looked at the soldiers carrying muskets behind Xiao Ming, with a look of fear on his face, and said flatteringly: “Yes, Your Highness, I will listen to you from now on, Your Highness. Just give the order if you want.”

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, and he and Claire walked forward for a while and found a village. There were many villagers in this village, and there was a blackboard in the middle of the village with some Dutch words written on it. .

These Dutch words probably mean that Ryukyu Island is originally Dutch territory, and the residents on the island also belong to the Netherlands and will serve the Dutch throughout their lives.

Seeing the blackboard and the stool in the open space in front of the blackboard, Xiao Ming already understood that this was the Dutch’s enslavement education in Ryukyu.

With a slight snort, Xiao Ming erased all the writing on the blackboard and wrote the five words “Qingzhou’s territory” on the blackboard one stroke at a time.

When Claire saw this, there was a deep sadness in her eyes. Most of the residents on the island now speak Dutch, and now this status quo will soon be changed, and all traces of the Netherlands will be erased.

And Xiao Ming’s behavior further proves that he is different from the vassal kings of Dayu. Only those who have a sense of national honor and disgrace would be so angry about this matter.

If he didn’t consider the overall situation, he really wanted to completely wipe out the Dutch. Just like other colonists, these colonists were assimilating this land, and this is the most terrifying thing.

If you want to destroy his clan, you must first destroy his history!

When the first generation of people on this land disappears, the second generation of assimilated children will no longer identify with their ancestors, and they will become another nation entirely.

This is the viciousness of tampering with history. In Xiao Ming’s opinion, it is more terrifying than a nuclear bomb. Because of this, he was so angry when he saw that the Dutch were erasing the historical traces of the King of Ryukyu.

The people in the village had complicated expressions when they saw this scene. It was the first time that such vigorous words of Dayu appeared on this blackboard. Strong memories came to their hearts. Some old men who came from across the sea had tears in their eyes.

Putting down the chalk, Xiao Ming looked at the three workshops in the village. Some sugar cane was piled outside, and some villagers were moving out some brown particles.
