In 1868, the year of the Dragon in Wuchen and the seventh year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. As soon as the news that Xiao Letian was about to open a grand New Year banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion spread, all the high-ranking officials under the Prime Minister's Scene were sensational.

A telegram was sent to all parts of Asia. At this moment, there was only two months before the New Year. It seemed abundant, but the transportation in the 19th century was still very backward. Many Ryukyu officials working in the central and western regions of Southeast Asia, India, and the Qing Dynasty had to make plans to return to China in advance.

Xiao Letian's attitude at this banquet was very clear. As long as the person in charge could come, they were summoned back. Since Xiao Letian became the prime minister in Ryukyu in 1865, he has not held a gathering of all senior officials for three years. This New Year's banquet immediately caused a sensation in the entire Ryukyu force.

King Shangtai had been in the warehouse of Shuri City for three consecutive days like a mouse. The general manager of the warehouse next to him knelt with a sad face and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has confessed, I have greedy for twenty taels of gold! I will return it tomorrow. You are for the sake of the old minister serving you all his life, so spare me, don't check the accounts... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

"Shut up! Shut up! What a mess? I'm looking for New Year's gifts for Shangfu's big banquet! How did I get involved with the account check..."

The old minister who was kneeling heard "Ah? Your Majesty, are you looking for a gift? You said it a long time ago, but I was scared to death... This job is familiar to me, and there are no treasures in this treasure store that I don't know!"

In a twist, the Minister of State General took King Shangtai to a corner and brought out a bright yellow satin-wrapped object from a dusty box with ebony shark leather horn protection.

Seeing that the silk has faded, and the edges are even dry, there seems to be signs of weathering. When I opened the silk, I found a bright yellow jade ring inside, and two dragons carved on the concentric rings, which were covered with clouds and rain.

"Your Majesty, this is one of the gifts given by Emperor Hongwu after Ryukyu presented his letter to Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. The double dragon ring of yellow jade has been treasured for more than 400 years. It is said that this piece of jade was originally a treasure flowing out of the Song Dynasty, and it is extremely precious..."

"Look, there is also the font size of the sixth year of Emperor Shenzong of Song in the inner circle of Yuhuan! There is also the font size of the eighth year of Hongwu here... Such a treasure is of course worthy of the Prime Minister's contribution!"

King Shangtai was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, okay... This thing is very good. Without Shangfu, there would be no country of Ryukyu. We may have been destroyed by the Japanese long time ago. Shangfu's significance to Ryukyu is no less than that of Emperor Hongwu's enthronement of Ryukyu. It is best to give this thing to Shangfu..."

King Shangtai walked out of the inner treasury with his jade ring in his hand. Just after the general manager breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he had successfully passed the level, he didn't expect King Shangtai to say anything without looking back.

"This inner warehouse is indeed time to take a plate. Remember to send the goldware back when you look back. Be honest and lenient, resist and strict. This is Shang's teaching..."

"Ah?" The General Secretary sat on the door frame as he felt weak, "I still need to store the warehouse!"

He was not the only one who prepared the gifts like King Shangtai. All the officials under Xiao Letian were moved. Even Master Long, who was in the White Mountain and Black Water, left his hiding place and was preparing to return to Ryukyu to attend this extremely important banquet.

In the swan feather blizzard, more than 300 soldiers wearing white camouflage clothes lurking on the edge of the forest. A log walled city in Longye's telescope stood by the frozen river.

The old ginseng head lay beside Master Long whispered, "It's here, the wolf trench camp, there is a company of Rakshasa ghosts stationed inside. What's the leader's name Belevsky... Bah, it's this dead chicken. I robbed one of my villages in summer, and the best ginseng I treasured was taken away by him..."

"Sir! We have pulled this nail. I want the head of this dead chicken. Ginseng, you will bring Ryukyu to Cheng for a New Year's gift! Looking back, the man outside our pass will have filial piety..."

"The Prime Minister takes us to avenge his revenge and gives so many foreign guns, so we must have a heart!"

Master Long smiled and said, "I heard that your ginseng king is a thousand-year-old ginseng, are you willing to bear it?"

"Hey... Sir, aren't you kidding? That thousand-year-old ginseng has become a spirit, can I dig it? In fact, it's only about four hundred years, but the four hundred years old ginseng in this white mountain and black water is definitely the king of ginseng. If I don't brag, you really can't find such a good look..."

"Okay, I want it. I won't be polite to you. With your intention, when you laugh in the future... everyone lurks, eat chocolate to replenish their energy, let's do it tonight!"

You can't understand how cold the Far East is if you don't go around in person. It's over minus 20 degrees during the day and over minus 40 degrees at night. Even the locals won't go out in such a harsh climate, so the Russian army in the checkpoint would never have expected anyone to attack at this time.

Bear skin, wolf skin, lamb skin, leather boots are also stuffed with urla grass, there is a lot of high-calorie chocolate in your pocket, and each person also comes with a bottle of soju.

The face was covered with a thick dog-skin hat, and both eyes were exposed. Any exposed skin should be coated with raccoon oil to prevent freezing, and finally, a pure white camouflage cloak should be covered outside.

Even with such strict protection, more than fifty of these 300 soldiers were seriously frostbite, but that was something that only paid attention to after the battle. No soldier had a look of retreat at this moment.

The Oroqen hunters and wild Jurchens who followed were all shocked. They didn't expect that these Han people from the south were so tough. The weather with white hair and snow was really lurking until dark? Don't they say that the southerners are weak? Why do I see all the pure men and real men!

After seven o'clock, the darkness enveloped the earth. The lurkers began to move. They crawled on the ground and slowly crawled towards the city. In order to prevent the snow from making noises, their speed was very slow. It took one minute for every step to move.

After climbing for a few meters, I stopped for sure that there was no danger before I continued to move forward. It took an hour for the vanguard to approach the camp. The soldiers originally wanted to use explosives to bombard the city wall, but when they looked up, they were all happy.

In such cold weather, the Russians also knew how to be lazy. There was no sentry on the village wall, only the light of the mine lamp on the wooden tower. Looking at the Russian army on duty, I don’t know how many vodka they had stolen and dozed off with a rifle in their arms.

The explosives were left to use. The snipers climbed up the logs with their flying claws, and several figures flexibly climbed into the village wall like raccoons. When the hunting dogs in the camp began to bark, everything was too late. The village gate had already been opened, and the volunteers rushed in like the wind.

After the battle ended in two hours, the three hundred volunteers quickly eliminated more than one hundred Russian troops. The dead chicken in pajamas, who was dizzy, was dragged into the snow and shivered in cold weather.

Lao Gan Tou cried and pulled out a knife and slashed it on his shoulder. "Damn it, you rob me of my food, rob me of ginseng... to ruin my daughter-in-law! Do you want to die? Dream..."

Master Long sighed and shook his head without caring about Lao Gan Tou. The camp was full of dead chickens screaming. I don’t know if it was cut or two hundred. Anyway, Lao Gan Tou tortured him for an hour and a half, and the screams stopped.

At this time, Master Long had already found the ginseng king, wrapped in a beautiful wooden box, and his long roots were really like the beard of an old birthday star.

"Okay, okay, now I can finally get the New Year gift to the Prime Minister! Brothers cleaned the battlefield and set fire to this camp..."

"We will count the military achievements. The ten brothers who have made the greatest contributions will go back to Ryukyu with me to wish the Prime Minister a New Year!"
