No one expected that this Luzon envoy would agree on the spot.

It stands to reason that Luzon should be the most resolute opponent, after all, Du Mingen, the Marquis of Taiping, is killing people on Luzon's side, and there is still a grudge against Daming.

But everyone thought about it carefully, and they were immediately relieved.

Luzon was definitely scared by the Ming Dynasty.

It's just a fleet led by Du Mingen, who can simply and easily clean up Luzon, and even destroy Luzon as long as he wants.

The current state of Luzon is no longer the original state of Luzon.

Not only most of the places in the north were occupied by the plantation owners of the Ming Dynasty, but the remaining big cats and kittens were trembling all the time, for fear that the Ming Dynasty would continue to invade the south and wipe them out.

Now that Daming has given them a chance, what other options are there, hurry up and sign it.

This became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, although it will be controlled by the Ming Dynasty in the future, but at least there is no need to worry about being destroyed by the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the reason why all countries in the South Seas have sent missions to the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, the strength of Luzon was not weak, perhaps not as good as Siam and Annam, but it was definitely stronger than Sulu and Java, not to mention the small countries of Champa and Malacca.

In Nanyang, Luzon's strength can send the top five.

But such a powerful country, it couldn't stop the attack of an army of the Ming Dynasty and almost wiped out the country.

This greatly shocked the Nanyang countries, and everyone also came to pay tribute, in order to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty.

Now it seems that Daming has changed, really changed.

They are no longer the good old people of the past, and they did not come to Nanyang to promote the wealth and national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, but began to expand in Nanyang, doing business and trade, mining minerals, and opening up plantations.

Many of the envoys of small countries pondered at this time.

If you don't become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, will the Ming Dynasty destroy itself in the future?

This is a very real problem.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty was strong, but for everyone, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and he couldn't deter the Nanyang countries at all.

But now it's completely different.

The Ming Dynasty has extended its territory to the South Seas, and now there are merchant ships constantly traveling between the South Seas and the Ming Dynasty every day.

Luzon became the bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty's expansion in the South Seas.

But thinking about the vassal agreement on the Ming side, it is too harsh.

This is difficult for everyone to accept.

After all, everyone just wants the benefits of Daming, but they don't want to pay anything for Daming, let alone sell themselves to Daming.

"Good~"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly with satisfaction, there is finally someone here in Nanyang who is willing to join the camp of the Ming Domain.

Then he looked at the people present, and saw that no one was willing to agree to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Hongzhi was also full of disappointment.

He originally had a good impression of the Nanyang countries, after all, he used to be a frequent contact, and people often came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and many countries were relatively friendly to the Ming Dynasty.

Now it seems, as Liu Jin said.

In the end, all of this cannot escape the word profit.

The previous Ming was too stupid.

"It's okay, tear off the mask of disguise, talk about each other's interests, and go straight to each other, and I don't have to carry anything."

"Dozens of countries have come to pay tribute, and dozens of ships have come to pay tribute, if it is really the same as before, several times back, I am afraid that my Ming treasury will be depleted."

"There are only eternal interests between nations, and there are no eternal friends."

Emperor Hongzhi thought so in his heart.

Disappointment is disappointment, but I also feel relieved.

"Alas~ Liu Jin is right, we used to put gold on our faces."

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet next to him, couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

A vassal state of the Ming Dynasty?

It's really hilarious.

It's all Daming's own wishful thinking.

Well, now, after the Ming Dynasty came up with this vassal agreement, no one in these countries would be willing.

"It's better if you don't agree~"

"Hehe, next year we can find an excuse to carry out it, occupy more islands and places, and open more plantations."

"This place in Nanyang is really good, and the income of Nanyang's plantations is still very good."

"The trade profits of the South Seas are also very high, and the road to the West will be opened up in the future, and the profits will be even more considerable."

Zhang Mao next to him had a smile on his face.

You don't need much for this kind of vassal country, a few are enough, and it's not interesting to have too much.

It's embarrassing to turn around when it becomes a vassal country, but Nanyang is a treasure here.

Located in the tropics, this Nanyang plantation grows everything very well, rice, sugar cane, and what kind of rubber, sisal or something Liu Jin said.

Anyway, as long as you make money.

After waiting for a while, no one was still willing, so Emperor Hongzhi got up and left directly.

Since you don't want to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to waste time.

"Gone?"

When the envoys of various countries saw it, they were all dumbfounded.

This Ming Emperor left like this, so what about the tribute they brought over?

Is it really pulled back?

"The Emperor and the envoys of the Xuanwei Kingdom meet ~"

Emperor Hongzhi walked here for a while, and soon a small yellow door came and shouted loudly.

"It's finally our turn to go to the country~"

Emperor Kashiwahara, the queen of the Japanese Dynasty, was slightly excited, carefully sorted out his clothes, and took Yin Shizhong and Shimazu Tadashi to follow the little yellow gate to meet Emperor Hongji.

In the study of Emperor Koji.

"Xiao Wang, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty~"

"The subordinates see His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty~"

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara bowed his head slightly, while Yoon Se Tadasada and Shimazu Tadamasa knelt down.

"No courtesy, give me a seat~"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the three of them, nodded slightly, and said.

"Your Majesty Xie~"

The three of them hurriedly thanked them.

"What's your name?"

Emperor Koji asked, looking at Emperor Kashiwahara, the queen of Wa.

It is the first time that this Wa King came to Daming, and it stands to reason that Daming should give enough courtesy, but because of the Wa Kou's affairs, Emperor Hongzhi also treated him as an ordinary envoy.

"Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Wang's name is Shengren."

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara replied respectfully.

"Katsuhito?"

"It turns out that your Wa King is surnamed Sheng."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we only have a name, not a surname."

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara immediately replied in embarrassment.

"No surname, only first name?"

"I've heard people say, you are a king of the same lineage, a line for all generations, as long as this country is a nobleman and a big name, all have a surname, only this commoner has no surname, how can you have a surname?"

Emperor Hongzhi was immediately puzzled.

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara didn't know how to go back and forth for a while, which is indeed a bit strange.

As long as the Wa Kingdom is a nobleman and a big name, it is a surname, and a surname is a symbol of status, not everyone can have a surname, most people only have a name, this Wa King has no surname, and it is normal for Emperor Hongzhi to be puzzled.

"Your Majesty, I, the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom, am a descendant of Amaterasu, so I don't have a surname."

Shimazu Tadamasa next to him rolled his eyes and said quickly.

"A descendant of Amaterasu?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately smiled.

"You can't do it without a surname, in the future, your Wa Kingdom will also be a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, you must respect Confucianism and Taoism, learn Chinese characters, learn my Chinese civilization, and the name is best to learn from my Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, it is our country that will serve the Ming Dynasty for generations, and it will be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for generations, and we must study the Chinese civilization wholeheartedly."

When Emperor Hou Kashiwahara heard this, he immediately hurriedly expressed his position, and then thought about it and said: "Please also ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to give me the surname of the King of Wa to pass on to eternity." ”

Emperor Hongji glanced at Emperor Go-Kashiwahara slightly, well, it's very good.

In that case, it is difficult to do so.

"Haha, that's fine."

Emperor Hongzhi was still very happy, then frowned and thought about it and said: "Your Wa Kingdom is in the easternmost part, known as the country of the rising sun, so let's do it, you Wa Wang will all return to the east in the future, what do you think?" ”

"Compound surname Dongfang"

"Dongfang Katsuhito?"

When Emperor Go-Kashiwahara heard this, he immediately thought about it carefully, and immediately felt that this surname was still very good.

So he hurriedly got up and thanked respectfully: "His Majesty Emperor Xie Daming gave me the surname, and from now on, my Wawang lineage will be surnamed Dongfang." ”

"His Majesty Emperor Xie Daming gave the surname~"

Shimazu Tadamasa and Yoon Se Tadasada also quickly stood up to thank them.

The emperor is now only the nominal monarch of the Wa Kingdom, and he has no real power, in fact, everyone does not value the emperor very much, that is, the Ming side thinks that the emperor is important.

The Ming Emperor gave the emperor a surname, and there was nothing, and in the future, the Wa Kingdom would have to learn everything from the Ming Dynasty, and the same would be true for the surname.

Besides, if you think about it carefully, it seems to be quite good to have the surname Dongfang.

They are all Huaxia Tong, knowing that the surname Dongfang is very ancient, the ancient emperor Fuxi founded Bagua, and his descendant Sun Zhong is in charge of the order of Dongfang Qingyang, so he has the surname Dongfang.

The surname given by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be in line with the identity and status of the Wa King of the Wa Kingdom, and also in line with the position of the Wa Kingdom.

"Hmm~"

"This is the first time that your Wa King has come to my Daming, so you might as well stay in my Daming for a while longer."

gave people a surname, and he was still the king of the Wa Kingdom, and Emperor Hongzhi's mood was much better.

After thinking about it, he also said to Emperor Go-Kashiwahara with a smile.

"Yes~"

"Xiao Wang came to Daming this time, and he also came to learn from Daming, and he wanted Daming to stay for more time and learn the benevolence, righteousness and morality of Daming."

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara also quickly nodded and agreed.

It's good to stay in Daming, at least you can enjoy the treatment of a country's monarch.

This time I went back to the Wa Kingdom, and then I had to go back to my dilapidated residence, and then everything was monitored by the shogunate, and the whole person was like a puppet, without any freedom and power, and lived a hard life, drinking porridge every day.
