Chapter 627 was seen clearly at once
"This is impossible, no country would agree to sign such a vassal treaty."
Godala, the king of the east, said with great certainty.
The vassal state treaties formulated by the Ming side are too harsh, and they are all things that need to be done on the vassal state's side, and there are few responsibilities that the Ming side needs to fulfill to the vassal state.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the treaty of this vassal state is too harsh, and we in Java will not agree to it."
Someone immediately stood up and made their attitude clear.
"Yes, yes, we will never agree~"
"It's too harsh~"
"Although the Ming Dynasty is powerful, we will never accept such a harsh treaty."
Some people started to talk, and others also stood up and said.
"Once the vassal treaty is signed, it will really be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty in the future."
Emperor Go-Kashiwahara read it carefully, and he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
Although the Wa Kingdom wants to learn from the Ming Dynasty's policy of strengthening the country, it is also willing to learn from the Ming Dynasty, whether it is Confucianism, learning Chinese characters, or even changing the Han surname, there is no problem.
After all, the Wa Kingdom has been constantly learning Chinese culture, and Chinese characters are also the official script in the Wa Kingdom.
However, this vassal treaty, it is not only about these contents, for the Japanese state, especially the ambitious Japanese state, it cannot be controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
But thinking about it again, the current Wa Kingdom seems to be firmly controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
Both Izumo and Hyogo are garrisoned by the Ming army, and in the event of any disturbances, the Ming can directly intervene in the affairs of the Wa Kingdom.
As for the canonization of the monarch, it is already like this, a treaty has been signed a long time ago, and the emperors of the Wa Kingdom need to be canonized by the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow, and he came to the Ming Dynasty this time to ask for the title of Emperor Hongzhi, basically the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty is also equivalent to the supreme monarch of the Wa Kingdom.
It seems that there is no other choice for the Wa Kingdom.
As for the ambassador of the DPRK, Park Wonjong, read them carefully one by one, and it seems that he is not harsh at all, and the relationship between the DPRK and the Ming Dynasty is not exactly like this.
The king of North Korea needs to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and the Korean state pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty travel freely to and from Korea, and now there are some Korean merchants who travel freely to and from the Ming Dynasty.
The Chinese characters used in the Korean state and the respected Confucianism and Taoism are learned from the Chinese civilization.
"Our Korean kingdom has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for generations!"
Park Wonjong stood up decisively and made a statement.
If you don't want to, forget it, anyway, I, North Korea, am a hundred willing, a thousand willing.
How thick Daming's legs are, why don't you hold them firmly.
The national strength of the Ming Dynasty is so strong, and there are many benefits to becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, what reason does such a big brother have to refuse?
The Chinese civilization is so brilliant and brilliant, why not accept it?
Anyway, North Korea is a decisive choice, they have always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the times will be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
"Good~"
Emperor Hongzhi kept looking at the expressions of these people.
Everything was clear to the ambassadors of those countries in the South Seas.
At this moment, he finally really understood what Liu Jin said.
The reason why these countries in Nanyang sent people to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty was purely to obtain a huge reward from the Ming Dynasty, and it was not sincere at all in order to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
It has always been just the wishful thinking of the Ming people that these countries are vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, these countries have never recognized this.
They are just for the good things of the Ming Dynasty, silk, porcelain, cloth, tea, etc., not to learn your Chinese civilization at all.
If the Ming side doesn't give back several times, will these countries still come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute?
Don't even think about it.
These countries are realistically very good, and they won't do anything good.
Now that the vassal treaty of the Ming Dynasty came out, everything was exposed.
For Da Ming, the real little brother is only North Korea.
The people of Annan and the Wa Kingdom are constantly hesitating at this moment, hesitating whether to sign the agreement of this Ming vassal state.
"Yin Shi is loyal, do you think we want to sign it?"
Emperor Go-Kashiwahara looked at Yin Shizhong, he represented the shogunate, and the influence of the current Wa Shogunate was still very large, and this matter still needed to be discussed with them.
"Sign, why don't you sign~"
"What is the difference between the current Japanese state and whether or not to sign this agreement?"
Yin Shizhong replied almost without thinking.
The strength of the Ming Dynasty has made him profoundly affected, and it is not a good thing to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, anyway, the current Wa Kingdom has actually been firmly controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
"Hmm~"
Emperor Go-Kashiwahara nodded slightly, and then immediately said loudly: "Our Wa Kingdom is willing to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for generations~" UU Library
"Good~"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately smiled happily.
In the final analysis, the most deeply affected by Chinese civilization are still Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, as for Annan, it is also very affected, but Annan is not honest now, and his ambitions are a bit big.
North Korea and the Japanese state have expressed their stance one after another, while the ambassadors of other countries remain unmoved.
The purpose of their coming to Daming is very simple, one is to get a generous return from Daming, a small fortune, in fact, it is hoped that through this form, and Daming has a good relationship, so that in the future, if Daming expands in the Nanyang region, it will still give some affection.
As for becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, they have no interest in it.
In the past, the Ming Dynasty was finally a vassal state, and for the sake of the benefits, it didn't matter, anyway, it was the Ming people who entertained themselves, and there were only benefits for them, and there was no harm.
Daming is far away from the South Seas, and it will not have much impact and deterrence on them.
But that's no longer the case.
If this vassal agreement is signed, they will really become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and they will be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for generations.
More importantly, in the future, they must learn everything from the Ming Dynasty, learn Chinese civilization, learn Chinese characters, respect Confucianism and Taoism, change Han surnames, etc., which are absolutely unacceptable to them.
This is absolutely unacceptable, especially for many countries in the Nanyang region that already practice YSL religion.
It is extremely xenophobic, and now it is necessary to change blood, and the whole country will be violently turbulent.
They just like the stupid Da Ming, like the Ming porcelain, tea and silk, but they are not interested in learning all aspects of the Da Ming.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, we have come from afar and worked hard to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, is this how you treat our country?"
The ambassador of Siam stood up and said very dissatisfied.
"Where can't we stop you?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he asked calmly.
"This..."
Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, the other party suddenly had nothing to say, Da Ming never seemed to have done anything to be sorry for them, they came to Da Ming, and Da Ming also gave a very high courtesy from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, such an agreement between vassal states is not equal, and we in Siam will never agree to it."
The other party thought for a while and said.
"Don't you see the first one above?"
"In line with the principle of voluntariness, don't sign if you Siam don't agree, and we didn't force you to sign it."
Emperor Hongzhi immediately laughed.
"But... But we are here to pay tribute, this tribute~"
When the other party heard this, he immediately said anxiously.
"If it's not our Ming vassal state, then there is no tribute, our Ming Dynasty doesn't lack the little things you pay tribute to, you can bring it back."
Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, as well as Zhang Mao, Tong Zhong, Liu Daxia and others, who accompanied him next to him, couldn't help but sigh.
Everything is already very clear.
As Liu Jin said, these countries are not here to pay tribute at all, but actually to collect the wool of the Ming Dynasty.
Now that Daming wants to further confirm the relationship with them, they are not happy anymore, they are unwilling to sign the vassal agreement, and they still want to get benefits from Daming.
"Take it back?"
The envoys of Siam were dumbfounded, they had worked so hard to pull the tribute, but the Ming Dynasty didn't want it, let him take it back.
How should I explain to the king of Siam this time?
In the past, every time I came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, it was a full return.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, our Sulu State is willing to sincerely rest with the Ming Dynasty, but this vassal agreement is too harsh, and there is no way for our Sulu State to agree to it."
Godala, the king of the East, stood up and said.
"It doesn't matter if you don't sign it, the Ming Dynasty and Sulu are still friendly relations, but well, this tribute will be exempted, and if you have friendly exchanges with each other, you don't need to pay tribute."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and replied.
In fact, the meaning is already obvious, the Ming side has set up three levels in foreign relations, one is the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, signed an agreement, and became the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be the most loyal and hardcore ally of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
The second is the general friendly countries, such as Sulu and Siam, everyone just has contacts, so don't come to pay tribute in the future and want to cheat me out of benefits.
And in the future, you'd better be polite to me Daming, don't be offended, otherwise Daming won't be polite to you.
The third category is the hostile countries of the Ming Dynasty, such a country, the Ming Dynasty will directly go to war with you.
Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, the Eastern King Godara breathed a sigh of relief, at least it was still a friendly country with the Ming Dynasty, so as not to become an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, as for wanting to get benefits from the Ming Dynasty through tribute, I am afraid that it will not work.
"We, Luzon, are willing to become vassals of the Ming Dynasty~"
At this time, the envoys of the Luzon State, who had been kneeling on the ground, knelt on the ground and looked at the agreement of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and after reading it, they also shouted out very decisively and directly.
Suddenly, everyone looked at it all at once.
