Ryukyu disposition beginning of

Under the old design of the Satsuma han, Kagoshima "military Governors" in the new Government "waste military Governors put County" front, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs submitted to the military governors of Kagoshima Okinawa survey submissions (July 12, 1871) [1], from the history of Satsuma han on Okinawa the actual ruling, to emphasize the island since ancient times, is Japan's territory, hope that the new Meiji government attribution to resolve Okinawa as soon as possible.

This copies submissions reservoir Yu Japan national official documents school by received of Department military governors beginning and end of · Xin Weiren Shen under first book in the, to see of information for xinwei held under (1 page), and deer er Island military governors Ryukyu Affairs investigation report under (4 page) this two Shang part, despite deer er Island military governors Ryukyu Affairs investigation report under callout portrait number for 4 page, but does not know is because Museum within staff operation errors, also is intends to will which part content occult up, in "JCAHR" Shang only see 1th page content, its and xinwei held under of content full consistent. Fortunately the author in Ha Tsuen, Fujio the series in the 4th volume of the Meiji culture information from the book, find the original text.

"Disposal" originally in the book: "Ryukyu Kingdom from ancient times was known as the Okinawa island, is within 12 of South China Sea Islands, records belong to the history of ancient Japan Imperial state. Second year of Government by civilians (1186), Shimadzu Zu Feng Shou Zhong-after a long time, SAMO, large corner, time of day, and since any of 12 Islands and farms of the South China Sea, hereditary old seal, reset to the client. But soldiers, governance and overseas. Hongwu five years, I shall be five years (1372), the country subject to the other, accept, King, dress, and so on into Ming, the national title and to Okinawa, but have not to interrupt me. During the Ying Yong (1394-1428) General Ashikaga era, has sent envoys, shuhan reciprocating and other things. First year of Cargill (1441), nine generations Michinoku keep disloyal, general well received tour, then sealed Ryūkyū Kingdom. Since then, the country sent envoys tribute ship, to wing are, days are over (1504-1521, June), no complex break to engage. But due to go on a punitive expedition to North Korea-service, Alessandro gogna to priority matters, pass additional offer advice, but not from the country. Celebrating 14 years (1609), 18 is satisfied that the statements are for a long time, removal of soldier go on a punitive expedition, and offered an apology surrender. Followed, domestic Islands row check, within the period of the military governors of licensed amount, according to currently licensed. During to Yoshinaga (1848-1853), no complex there. Into the country on the old curtain poles, although an established rule, but because of the weak and small countries, even the name inappropriate, if the parents do not expect Imperial China nation, as the two dependent, it is difficult to its standing. Due to its national conditions of a last resort, hence in accordance with the disposal of old rule. However, is years (1644-1648), modified for the occasion of the Qing State, send or transmit orders shaving, replacement of dress, then to do with it, is also difficult to measure. First year of Ming Li (1655), 19 keep the great corner light for a long time, and to consult the shogunate, transmit orders in the old saying: If sending envoys, should he meant, though not difficult, but in the country, large corner guard may be disposed of according to. Qing long since the surrender, so that today, open sending officers to engage in the Chief of Kagoshima, Kagoshima, Okinawa also built premises to send officials, alternating between detention and sent is satisfied that the taxes every year, China is the next year sent sent tribute ship. Hereby report. "[2]

From "processing views" book of content analysis see, Kagoshima "military Governors" to Meiji new Government explained has Ryukyu from Government by civilians second years belonging Island Tianjin family, to wing are, and days are years tribute Japan of history, to Satsuma military Governors on Ryukyu country of control management situation, stressed Satsuma military Governors on Ryukyu has effectiveness ruled, hope Meiji new Government can in new of Shi, will Ryukyu official into map, became is established of "Kagoshima" of part.

According to Professor Mi Qingyu study, this report appears to Japan after the new Meiji regime, on the statement of the Japanese Ryukyu relations for the first time. But there are many doubts. The so-called Japan Government by civilians two years Shimadzu loyalty long subject to Satsuma, big corner, day, without any historical basis, from the Japan book of ancient Chinese prose?? The 16th? Shimadzu instruments in one of the records, Japan Shimadzu loyalty of Government by civilians two years long, but was then haozu not yet established the Kamakura shogunate Minamoto no Yoritomo, appointment as "Zhuang Wu from row" as the Shinano (now Nagano) salt country estate of small chieftain, and no other appointments. Shimadzu was appointed as Echizen province (now Eastern fukshima) guard, jinzhuangneisamofang edge of guarding the island and 12 Islands and farms level, but Japan during the Kamakura shogunate fourth generation generals in, when Jia Lu three years (1227), mandatory or so-called "Shimadzu jiazu" loyalty a long time, but when second generation Shimadzu Zhong (loyalty). In addition, from a content point of view of the appointment, then the so-called 12 Islands, there is no specific name, in which it is difficult to explain Okinawa. Therefore, no talk of Okinawa since ancient times, is Japan "reset to the client." [3]

In addition, the so-called "first year of Cargill (1441), nine generations Michinoku keep disloyal, general well received tour, then sealed Ryūkyū Kingdom. "Matter, nor does it find the related historical materials on the basis of, and even Japan scholars question the city of Li Yu 's. "Can't deny" rosette Tian Chun's were of the view that this "specifically, is to (Ryukyu) through-traffic monopoly rights to Satsuma. "[4]

This "investigation" Although there are a large number of far-fetched in historical facts, but it is worthy of our attention is that it recognizes the ownership of Okinawa to China, the words "If the parents do not expect Imperial China nation, as the two dependent, is difficult to keep up". This shows the Satsuma han recognizes Ryukyu China as "parents", if you leave "China" will be "difficult to keep up". But think this is a last resort situation. And to Okinawa to Satsuma han sent na taxation each year, China is the next year sent sent tribute ship facts, stressed the Satsuma han on Okinawa's "effective rule" and importance belonging asked the new Government to consider addressing Okinawa issue.

The "submission" how plan, there is no specific information can prove, but is made from "Satsuma han" changes to "Kagoshima", which I infer it with the new Satsuma han can't cut off of stakeholders within the Government.

Due to the control of Satsuma han on Okinawa, it naturally becomes Japan's first territorial objectives. Japan Government, already dissatisfied with the Ryukyu relations between the two is, in particular the origin of the Cavaliers of Kagoshima, Satsuma han, not willing to lose privileges to Okinawa, started driving the Ryukyu relations between the two is the end of the so-called "Ryukyu punishment"--cut off Okinawa's tributary relations with China, are forcing Okinawa accept Emperor Shuo, Ryukyu became Japan's part. "The submissions" proposed, may be indicated by the Satsuma han cut of from top to bottom, then from Kagoshima make specific requests from the bottom up, so that the new Meiji government on Okinawa put forward specific policy, therefore, submissions may be "Ryukyu disposition" beginning with important rationale.
