Chapter Seventy-Two: The Great Feast

"Your Majesty, no."

"Your Majesty, how long has it been since the Jing Martyrdom, you must be cautious."

"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

Wang Xiao said that he wanted to cut the feudal domain, and the civil officials were all swarming against it.

They all talked about the matter of the Battle of Jingjing, and they all said with a worried face that the reduction of the feudal domain would cause very serious consequences.

Regarding the opposition of these civil officials, Wang Xiao was noncommittal.

Because he knew very well that the real hole cards in his hand were not these turbans.

The emperor only has strong soldiers and strong horses!

As long as he has military power in his hands, the position of the emperor can be as stable as a rock.

On the contrary, if there is no military power in hand. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty after the Tang Dynasty are the best negative teaching materials.

Of course, Wang Xiao also knew that directly cutting the feudal domain and abolishing the lord would cause a fierce backlash. Although he wasn't worried about the rebellion of those princes, after all, this was in a flower planting family, and it was always bad to hurt flowers and plants.

"Since everyone is against it, let's change the seal."

Wang Xiao threw out his true purpose and moved all the princes in the country away, "In the future of the Ming Dynasty, we must focus on the sea." What's the point of staring at the three melons and two dates in the house all day long. The royal family should be an example to the world, and all the kings have changed their titles overseas. ”

If you want to talk about the vision of future development, there is absolutely no one in this world who can compare to Wang Xiao.

In this period of time when the Age of Discovery has begun, large-scale enclosure is the right way.

The ministers were a little depressed, because they found out that Wang Xiao's real intention was to vigorously promote navigation. The so-called cutting of the feudal domain is nothing more than throwing stones to ask for directions.

I've already objected once before, and if the new emperor opposes it one after another after the first order, will it still be used in the court in the future?

This matter was settled.

From now on, the power of the Ming Dynasty will gradually tilt towards the ocean, and Wang Xiao's first small goal is set on Fusang.

"Yang Shiqi."

Wang Xiao directly ordered, "You go to Fusang and discuss with them about trade and lending." Tell those Fuso people to talk well, then hello, hello, everyone. If you don't talk well, let them feel for themselves whether Da Ming's sword is sharp. ”

Yang Shiqi was a little confused: "Fusang is a country that is not conquered by Taizu." ”

"I didn't say I was going to hit him." Wang Xiao waved his hand, "Use your brains to figure out a way." Our merchant ships were plundered in Fuso, and the merchants were treated unjustly. This is called armed protection of overseas Chinese, not conquest. Do you understand? ”

What else can Yang Shiqi say, he can only salute and say that Weichen knows.

In the evening, a grand banquet was held to entertain the envoys of various countries who had come to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne.

There are many vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, which is the largest in all dynasties.

At its peak, there were more than 100 vassal states.

The more famous ones are Korea, Ryukyu, Fuso, Luzon, Malacca, Sumatra, Siam (Thailand), Manchurian (Burma), Sulu (Philippines), Champee (Indonesia), Ceylon Lion State (Sri Lanka) and so on.

There are far-away Yemen, Yambo in East Africa, Somalia, Tanzania, and even the island of Zanzibar.

Various tribes in the grasslands in the north, dozens of countries in the Western Regions, as well as Tibet, Nepal and other countries.

If you map out all these vassal states, the Ming Dynasty is a superpower from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean, from Asia to Africa.

When Zheng He's fleet existed, these vassal states were very respectful. But as soon as the policy of not going to sea was released in history, the overseas vassal states basically said goodbye to the Ming Dynasty.

Later generations spread that the people in these distant lands were looking forward to the arrival of the white man, but in fact they were not referring to the Europa, but to the Ming Dynasty!

Wearing a golden dragon robe, wearing a beaded curtain on his head, and wearing regular makeup, Wang Xiao took Sun Ruowei's hand and came to Fengtian Hall to participate in the big banquet.

The teaching workshop department set up nine music songs in the hall, set up big music outside the hall, and the dance team waited outside the hall.

Guanglu Temple has a wine pavilion in the west of the throne, a dining pavilion in the east of the throne, and a Zhensha Delicious Pavilion on the east and west sides of the wine and dining pavilion.

The ministers above the fourth grade are in the palace, and the fifth grade or less are entertained outside the palace, and a group of people such as the master pot, Shangjiu, and Shangshi are arranged to wait.

The throne on the palace is paved with yellow bows, and the golden guards stand on both sides.

The extravagant atmosphere of the flower grower is fully revealed at this moment.

A group of envoys from small landstates whose names they couldn't even name couldn't say anything after they had been shocked.

Wang Xiao walked into the hall, and the music immediately sounded.

The royal family, the four grades or more of the civil and military, the envoys of various countries came forward in batches to pay their respects.

The atmosphere was solemn and solemn, and the envoys of various countries were really dazzled.

Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and picked up the wine glass, and the teaching workshop immediately played the 'Song of the Flame Essence'. All of them knelt and bowed.

When he had finished his first drink, the music stopped. The crowd again fell on their prostrations and prostrated themselves.

After this set of process etiquette, everyone took their seats. The song of the imperial wind sounded, and the banquet was officially started.

"Before you came in, I heard you guys yelling here, what was it?"

Wang Xiao's gaze fell on Guanglu Siqing.

Before Guanglu Siqing could speak, someone from the envoy's side ran out and saluted Wang Xiao.

"Great Emperor Wan'an."

"You are..."

"The subordinate Korean envoy Han Changqi congratulated the emperor with his watches, tribute gold and silver utensils and other things."

North Korea is the most loyal younger brother of the Ming Dynasty, and he truly serves the Ming Dynasty as if he was filial to his parents. South Korea, which later became known as the largest power in the universe, are absolutely polar opposites.

Every year, tribute will be paid to the Ming Dynasty, and envoys will be sent to greet each year.

The era name is the name of the Ming Dynasty, with the capital of the Ming Dynasty as the Beijing Division, the Ming Dynasty as the Celestial Dynasty, the Ming Army as the Heavenly Soldiers, and the Ming Dynasty envoys as angels.

In a real sense, the Ming Dynasty is fully respected as the suzerain. Their emperor did not dare to be called the emperor, he could only be called the king, and he was also the vassal king canonized by the Ming Dynasty.

This is not to say that they are highly conscious, in fact, you only need to look at the geography, the cultural influences, and the difference in power between the two sides that is deeper than the Mariana Trench to know why they are doing this.

North Korea directly borders the Ming Dynasty, and its national strength is dozens or hundreds of times different from the Ming Dynasty.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, they were still descendants of the Yuan Dynasty, and their relationship with the Yuan Dynasty was extremely close.

In this case, it is very likely that the Ming Dynasty will destroy North Korea.

If it weren't for Li Chenggui's stubborn legs immediately hugging Daming's father after coming to power, and if it weren't for Zhu Di being busy fighting the Battle of Jingjing, then North Korea would have to become a political secretary.

North Korea not only offered gold, silver, jewelry, horses, ginseng and other tributes to the Ming Dynasty, but also paid tribute to the Ming Emperor.

When Zhu Di was in power, he often sent beautiful women, and they were sent to Beijing by special envoys.

Every time before sending a beautiful woman, marriage will be banned in North Korea, and it must be selected by the angels of the Ming Dynasty.

This dedication lasted until the Zhengde period.

Wang Xiao looked at the envoy with interest, from the official uniform on his body to the etiquette, and even the tone of his speech, which was no different from that of the Ming officials, "You were arguing before?" ”

"Back to the Emperor."

Han Changqi saluted respectfully: "North Korea serves Daming like parents, and Daming treats North Korea like a parent." The emperor has given banquets all times, and my Korean envoys are the first in the vassals. But the Fusang envoy wanted to grab the position of the minister, and asked the emperor to be the master of the minister. ”

Korea has always considered itself to be the first vassal of the country, so when receiving banquets from envoys, they always sit at the head of the envoys.

In the past, Annan and them competed for the title of No. 1, and the two sides fought openly and secretly.

But now that Annan has been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, North Korea believes that no one can shake the status of his own son. But he didn't expect that the messenger sent by Fusang would want to sit on their heads. This made Han Changqi completely unbearable.

This is simply the face of North Korea in Chiguoguo!

He had a big quarrel with the envoy sent by the Ashikaga shogunate before, and he didn't settle down until Wang Xiao entered the palace.

Now that Wang Xiao asked about this matter, Han Changqi immediately jumped out and asked Daming's father to make the decision for him.

Wang Xiao's gaze fell on the Fusang envoy wearing a minister's hat and a white fen on his face.

The Fusang envoy immediately jumped out and threw himself down beside Han Changqi to salute.

"The Great Emperor is above. The subordinate of the Japanese national son Yuan Yi held the messenger, one and the good ginseng. ”

Wang Xiao carefully recalled the information of the Ashikaga Shogunate that he had read, and couldn't help laughing.

Now it's okay, there is no need for Yang Shiqi to make excuses, and they will send it to the door themselves.

Sun Ruowei, who was the person next to the pillow, saw Wang Xiao's smile, and immediately knew that he was going to be a whole person again.

In Fuso, the Ashikaga clan was the shogun of the Seiyi, not the emperor.

The previous general of the expedition, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, is the general in the smart Ikkyu. This is a little fan of Daming, a fan who admires Daming to the extreme. He sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty many times, asking to be the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay much attention to him, thinking that the emperor was the king who really represented Fuso.

Later, in the Yongle period, Zhu Di finally accepted the loyalty of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, formally established the relationship between the clan and the canonization, and also gave Ashikaga Yoshimitsu the golden seal of the Japanese king. This gold seal is still preserved in museums in the modern world.

This is also the last time Huaxia became Fusang's father.

But after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, a fan of the Ming Dynasty, died, Fuso was in turmoil, and the successor Ashikaga Yoshinori gave up Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's policy, stopped worshipping the Ming Dynasty, and turned estranged from the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao's expression became serious, "You Fusang were originally a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty, but in recent years, you have been insincere and conspired privately. That Ashikaga Yoshitsu changed the national policy without authorization, plotted against orthodoxy, and controlled the government. Even connived at the Japanese to harass me along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, was it the Son of Man who did it? ”

Ichijo Kanliang is the head of the family of the nobles and nobles, and he is a high-ranking official in the court at a young age, and he has always regarded himself very highly.

This time, I took the initiative to ask to become an envoy, and I thought it would be a good errand. When he went to the banquet, he also competed for a position with the North Koreans, thinking that Fuso was stronger than North Korea, so he naturally wanted to be the biggest son.

Where did you think that Daming's father was actually angry!

"Great Emperor!"

Ichijo Kaneliang was sweating profusely, and the powder on his face was washed out of the ravine. Directly put his head on the ground, and his voice trembled, "My country is all dedicated to serving the Ming Dynasty, and there is no disobedience." Please see the Great Emperor! ”

Wang Xiao is trying to attack Fusang, and now that such a good opportunity is in front of him, of course he will not let it go.

"That Ashikaga Yoshishi holds power and seeks a position, and it is a big rebellion. The murder of the Orthodox Japanese king Ashikaga Yoshitsugu is simply hateful! ”

Wang Xiao directly slapped the table and stood up.

"I belong to the Ming Dynasty, and they are all like parents and children. How can you be wantonly killed! Go back now and tell Ashikaga Yoshinori that the Celestial Empire army is coming soon, and you want justice for King Ashikaga Yoshiji! ”

However, where did Ichijo Kaneliang, who is in his early twenties, experience this kind of heavenly wrath, and the whole person was frightened and trembled on the ground. Desperately crying and screaming that Fusang is a country that is not to be conquered.

Han Changqi on the side squinted his eyes and stroked his long beard, humming constantly.

"Damn, dare to compete with us for the position of the chief son, see how you die!"
