C451 The student soldier was moving.

Those who have never experienced war do not know how precious peace is. In just two short years, Ryukyu Kingdom encountered two armed disasters, and each one of them was something that was rarely seen in the history of Ryukyu.

In the hundreds of years of history of the Ryukyu Kingdom, only the earliest Ming Dynasty, when the three mountains were unified, had fought against each other viciously. Then, the Japanese Shimadzu Family began to colonize the Ryukyu for hundreds of years.

It was only until Xiao Letian left the island that night that the citizens of the Ryukyu knew about the cruelty of the land war, and today that they also knew about the craziness of the sea war. When had the citizens of these small countries, who were guarding the barren islands ever seen such a miserable scene?

The continuous bombardment by the French for five days had pushed the mood of the people of Ryukyu to the brink of collapse. The sudden news of the peace talks was like a soothing spring breeze that blew at people's hearts.

It had only been a night and the entire Ryukyu had already spread the news of the negotiation. The crowd, amidst their unease and full of hope, had spent a sleepless night, and this rare night was just wasted like that.

What Gong Cheng said was true. When the water dog brought back the news of it agreeing to negotiate, the French Fleet made a ceasefire and the Deterrence Bomb which was in the middle of the night finally stopped. Molière used his actions to show his sincerity to the Liuzhu Military and Civilians.

All the way until the morning on the second day, Jin Changsen and the other civil servants who were waiting for Gong Cheng on the beach below Seven Stars Mountain were filled with hope for the success of the negotiation. Furthermore, they could see from the eyes of the commoners that they were all praying for peace.

"Brother Lin, now do you know the great wish in the hearts of the citizens of Ryukyu? For the past few hundred years, all we Ryukyu have wanted is to live. The dream of claiming the title of king has nothing to do with us, we will eventually wake up from this dream! "

Lin Yuanmiao looked at him, sighed, and said, "National destiny is to retreat if we don't advance, sometimes it's not what we want to do, but what our enemies are forcing us to do …"

"Ai …" Forget it, what's the use of saying all this now? It's already on the verge of burning down. Let's look at the scene in front of us first! "

Lin Yuanmiao and Cai Mao could be considered to be the elite in the Ryukyu. They were among the first to surrender to Xiao Letian, and they were extremely zealous towards Xiao Letian's various ideas of governance. Today, he was forced into a corner by the enemy. Otherwise, he would never have betrayed the prime minister and chosen to negotiate with the French.

"Jin, just you wait. When the prime minister returns, we'll settle our scores …" Lin Yuanmiao secretly cursed in his heart.

"Pfft, you guys are the surrender parties of Ryukyu, and more so, surrender like stupid dogs. You don't even know how to find a hug as thick as a person's thigh …" Jin Changsen was also cursing in his heart, but the expressions on their faces were still as harmonious as ever.

A short while later, the imperial guards on guard on the beach suddenly shouted, "Coming! Look, it's really coming!" Everyone took a look and saw that it was a small boat rapidly approaching the shore.

The one rowing the boat was the water dog. Every time he moved the oar, the boat would move forward by a huge margin like an arrow. Gong Cheng who was riding on the boat was as stable as a horse carriage.

Very quickly, the imperial guards who were standing in the ocean waves received Emissary Gong Cheng. The important officials of the Ryukyu who were waiting on the beach all bowed and paid their respects, "Mr Gong, thank you for your hard work. Please serve us some tea on the shore!"

Gong Cheng returned the greeting smilingly. This old man had done his homework in advance, he could even call out a few names to each official.

"This is the Minister of Rites, Master Jin?" This is the Minister of Revenue, Master Lin? "This is …" The old man bowed to the ministers one by one. His expression was as formal as it could be and as respectful as it could be.

"There's no need to serve tea, there's plenty of good tea in China. Let's get down to proper business first!" Where is His Majesty? Foreign ministers has to kowtow to His Majesty no matter what … … Aiyah, is that white on top of Seven Stars Mountain's cannon emplacement? Mighty, truly mighty! "

The old man raised his head, and saw that halfway up the mountain, there was a cliff with a greyish white, reinforced concrete building standing on top of it. The black muzzles of the cannons were facing the battleships on the sea, looking extremely murderous.

It was not that Gong Cheng had never seen shore defense cannons before, but those built inside Great Qing were all primitive designs, to the point that many of the cannons couldn't turn their muzzles. What he saw today was the latest gun emplacement designed by the American engineers. The cannon was completely wrapped inside, revealing only a horizontal slit facing the sea for the cannon to move freely.

After five days of fighting, the reinforced concrete buildings were riddled with holes. Taking advantage of the temporary truce, countless workers were accelerated as they repaired the buildings.

"Mighty!" Magnificent! Xiao Letian was a real hero, to be able to buy such a defensive weapon from a foreigner. No wonder even the French had to suffer a huge loss … Is this the newest rifled cannon hidden inside? Once the peace talks are completed, Foreign ministers will definitely visit and pay a visit to this place … "

Lin Yuanmiao did not know why this old traitor had said this, but he had always heard his Foreign ministers call him that. You old traitor! Don't be a subject of our Ryukyu, this small country isn't enough for you to sell.

"Mister Gong is joking, His Majesty is waiting at the Guan Hai Pavilion in the Seven Stars Mountain. You are an esteemed guest of the Ryukyu, of course His Majesty will meet with you. This way please …"

Seeing that his attempt to visit the cannon emplacement had failed, Gong Cheng did not laugh awkwardly and followed Jin Changsen to pay his respects to. However, Gong Cheng did not know that while they were conversing, the imperial guards who were guarding the place had an accident.

He didn't know why, but just as Gong Cheng landed on the shore, the imperial guards surrounding the beach suddenly encountered a group of student soldier s. They were all children who had received basic military training from ten universities, and were the reserve army officers of the future army.

These student soldier s brought their tools and clamored that they were going to go to the Seven Stars Mountain to help repair the fortifications, but the imperial guards received an order to not let anyone in and out. They also knew that important guests were going to the island, so how could they dare to let these student soldier s go?

After a while, the two groups of people started to argue, it was fortunate that they were not too far from the beach, otherwise Gong Cheng would have thought that someone would want to kill him.

What are these student soldier s trying to do? They really wanted to kill Gong Cheng, the traitor, this kind of person who acted like Qin Kui had always been the sworn enemy of the nationalistic youths. When the news that the traitor was going to negotiate on the island spread, this group of students who believed in Xiao Letian as their god was the first to give up.

Just as Fan Lian, Liang Kun and the others were having their secret meeting, when Shang Tai and his group were making their plans, the activists in the Ryukyu also began to form a connection with each other. They only spent half a night to formulate a plan to assassinate Gong Banlun.

"Get out of the way …" How dare you obstruct us from supporting the front line? We are the disciples of the Prime Minister, we are students of the Ryukyu, we are the future managers of the Ryukyu, do you dare to stop us? "

"How could the hot-blooded students let you guys bury your bodies? Let's go to the cannon emplacement to clear the way …" "Make way!"

There were more than a hundred student soldier who were trying to rush into the imperial guards, and the scene quickly turned chaotic. All of the student soldier s shouted in a rhythmic manner, "Make way …" Make way... "Make way …"

The crowd pushed forward with the tempo. The imperial guards formed a three-man human net, holding hands. Even so, the defensive line was in danger.

"Calm down, all of you calm down! Don't bother, His Majesty is in the Seven Stars Mountain … Have your military training gone to waste? He even forgot to listen to orders? "Aiya, my feet …"

"Back off, little ancestors. You're all university students, and we can't afford to offend you. But, you have to consider your own future prospects. What do we do if you get scared?"

The imperial guards were like small boats in a storm, being pushed around by the nationalists. All of these university students had been brainwashed by Xiao Letian, so using the title of prime minister to scare them was still useful.

The imperial guards were feeling miserable being attacked by the student soldier, but the imperial court was giving them a death order. If they were to suffer any damage during this meeting, then no one would be able to stand a chance against the imperial law.

Gradually, this group of imperial guards lost their patience. "We've all been squeezed together, did we give you face?" If you squeeze any more, start beating me up... "Oh my god, you really made a move!"

"Brat, why do you look so familiar?" F * ck, I know your dad. You son of a b * tch, you even dared to hit your uncle … Beat him up! "

This was bad. A commander of the imperial guards thought that his uncle beating his nephew didn't have much to do with anything, but he had forgotten that this was a national war. Everyone's emotions were on the verge of going crazy.

"The imperial guards attacked …" Beat up the student army... This group of traitor wanted to sell out the Prime Minister, sell out the new army, sell out our Ryukyu … "Let's fight with them!"

More than a hundred fanatical students rushed forward to fight. At that moment, they were not fighting alone, it was as if the Ryukyu had been possessed by a heroic spirit that had been wronged for hundreds of years. The other party was a traitor, while the one on their side was the truth.

Assault and assault again, the imperial guards retreated again, and then the reinforcements arrived. The number rapidly increased from one hundred to three hundred, and the reinforcements of the imperial guards also arrived. Five hundred imperial guards surrounded the students.

Both sides were somewhat restrained. The conflict had been limited to fists and legs from the very beginning. No one had used any weapons, but this was still quite tragic. Everyone was beaten black and blue, and there were even some calcium deficient people whose bones were broken.

Right at the moment when the situation was at its most chaotic, Cai Mao brought a group of New Army guards over to support them. "Stop! Are you all crazy? The Ryukyu has not been broken through yet, do you all still want internal strife? "Everyone stop …"

Cai Mao was, after all, one of the generals personally appointed by Xiao Letian, and had some prestige amongst the students.

Just as Cai Mao was about to advise the students to leave, another group of soldiers ran over from the foot of the mountain.

"Everyone stop … All of you, stop! How did Prime Minister teach you? The more chaotic the situation, the calmer you have to be! Did the bank give you so many grants to learn these things? "Everyone dispersed."

Just as old shopkeeper was shouting at the top of his lungs, a loud noise came from the middle of the mountain, and came down like a tsunami.

"Assassin!" "An assassin …"
