Chapter 452: Meeting the Messenger - South Seas, Western Oceans
After that, it was the envoys of the three Ryukyu countries who met Yunxi. These three countries www.biquge.info like Korea, were the most loyal vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. However, they will not have any major events, just come to pay tribute and get the reward of the Ming Dynasty.
After that, it's the Nanyang Kingdoms. The first was the envoy of the city. Yun Xi saw that the envoy of Zhancheng saluted him very respectfully, but the envoy did not stand up after Yun Xi asked him to stand up, but said loudly: "Your Majesty, please be the master of my Zhancheng country!" Then he told the story of Annan's invasion of the city.
Yun Xi thought a little irritably: "Didn't I say last year that you should occupy the city and not be impatient, why is it still like this this year?" ’
Yun Xi didn't know that the reason why Zhancheng sent an envoy to Daming this year to tell the history of Annan's invasion of him and ask Daming to uphold justice was because Yun Xi sent an army from Nanyang last year to conquer Manjapahit Boyi. The reason why so many countries came to pay tribute this year is also because of last year's battle.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has always advocated world peace, but because he has always stayed on his lips, he only sent envoys to persuade various countries and never sent troops, so except for the three Ryukyu countries, other countries listened to the words of the Ming Dynasty at first, and then they did not listen, which is also the confidence of the Majapahit to dare not listen to the will of the Ming Dynasty to let him stop the army.
But who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty suddenly didn't just stay in words, and really sent troops to fight against the unsubordinate, and completely annihilated the Manjapahit Naval Division in the First World War, and the Lu Division also landed in Srivijaya to destroy the Manjapahit Naval Division.
After the Daming Sailors completely annihilated the Sailors of Majapahit, the news quickly spread to almost all the countries in the South Seas as if they had grown legs, causing an uproar among everyone.
At this moment, the hearts of people in many countries are active. Countries that were not subject states of the Ming Dynasty were afraid that the Ming Dynasty would come to levy, so they sent people to pay tribute; It used to be a vassal country, but it has not paid tribute for a long time, and for fear of punishment from the Ming Dynasty, it also sent people to pay tribute; There are also those countries that want to borrow the hand of the Ming Dynasty and also send people to pay tribute. In short, everyone wants to come to the capital to see if they can achieve their goals.
Champa is no exception. The people of Champa thought: 'Since the Ming can send troops to attack Majapahit thousands of miles away, it is also possible to attack Annam, which is at their doorstep. So they immediately sent envoys to pay tribute, wanting to ask the Ming to send troops to uphold justice.
Although Yun Xi didn't understand the reason, he couldn't agree right now anyway, but said, "I know." Justice and justice may be late, but they will never be absent. So he let the messengers of Champa go out.
The envoy of Champa pondered Yun Xi's words, it seems that he planned to send troops to Annam, but now he will not send troops?
The messengers of Champa rejoiced. Although the words this time were more vague than last year's, the confidence of the Champa envoys was much greater than last year's.
The rest of the Nanyang countries also asked the Ming to uphold justice. The messenger from Pahang said, "The state of Siam has always oppressed our country, please do justice to your majesty"; The envoy of Brunei over there said, "The country of Sulu has not been subject to the king for a long time, and is still unwilling to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and has invaded our country and the muddy country again and again, please Your Majesty to crusade against the minister"; ……。
Yun Xi didn't say anything, he didn't even say anything to Xiang Xiang Zhancheng, but just asked the minister to answer on his behalf.
After a long time, the time of Shen had passed, and it had reached the time of unitary, and these Nanyang countries had finally finished coping.
Yun Xi ordered the remaining countries to postpone the meeting and rest for a while.
In fact, Yun Xi himself was better, Chen Di, Yang Ben and Zheng Yi had been accompanying Yun Xi to meet the envoy, and most of the words were said by them, so they were even more tired. As soon as Yun Xi announced that he would postpone the reception of the envoys of Fanguo, Yang Ben sat on the ground regardless of his image; Although Chen Di and Zheng Yi did not sit on the ground, they were also very tired.
Yun Xi asked people to bring chairs for them to sit for a while, and then instructed the eunuch to bring teacups, and he poured them tea from his own teapot. The three of them hurriedly thanked him.
After resting for a quarter of an hour, Yun Xi could not postpone the reception of these countries until tomorrow, and there was a banquet to entertain officials in Beijing and envoys to the country in the evening, so he could only continue to receive them.
After that, the envoys of the two countries of the West met with each other.
Speaking of which, it is also a coincidence that these two Western countries were able to come to pay tribute. After defeating the sailors of Majapahit, Ho Rong followed Yun Xi's order and sent a thousand sailors to cross Malacca and explore westward. The country of Sumatra was discovered by this expedition.
After crossing the state of Sumatra, they continued their exploration westward into the Indian Ocean.
Shortly after entering the Indian Ocean, the expedition reached the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Xu Jingchang brought back the "Nanyang Sea Chronicles" wrote: "Out of Sumatra to the west, the wind is not smooth, drifting to a place, the place name is Yan Tuoman, his body is like black paint, the so-called Kunlun slave also." Able to eat people. ”
It was on this island that the sailors of the Ming Dynasty rescued a few people who looked like civilized people in clothes who were about to be eaten by the Yantuo barbarians. After inquiring about the Qianhu who led the team, they learned that they were envoys from Zoli and Western Zori, and they were going to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. So they brought these messengers to Sriwijaya. This time, Xu Jingchang and others returned to China and brought them over.
Yun Xi is of course very interested in the West, but at present, his hand cannot reach the West, at most he will send an expedition team to explore; Therefore, Yunxi is currently very friendly to these two Western countries that are the only two in the Ming Dynasty.
After the envoys of the two Western countries retreated, it was the turn of the envoys of Majapahit. Yun Xi saw a middle-aged man with dark skin and low stature walking in quickly, kneeling down and saying in a very standard Chinese dialect: "Majapahit Pajapahit's envoy Malabaech has seen His Majesty the Ming Emperor. "The attitude was very respectful.
Yun Xi remembered that the envoy of the Manjapahit Boyi had never been so respectful to the Ming Dynasty, and a few years ago, when the Manjapahit Boyi paid tribute last time, Yun Xi was still by Zhu Yuanzhang's side to meet him, and Lao Zhu frowned at that time, but he didn't say anything. This time the attitude is very different from the last time.
Sure enough, the prestige of a great country is still out, and the ancients did not deceive me. Yun Xi thought.
After Malabaech finished pleading, Yun Xi said: "Although your country does not obey my will, my Ming Dynasty has always been tolerant, so I hereby allow your country to become a subject of the Ming Dynasty again. ”
"But," Yun Xi said again before Malabasher Thanks, "your country must withdraw from all territories that have been invaded by other countries, withdraw from Sriwijaya, and withdraw from the state of Sara." ”
Malabach froze for a moment, but immediately knelt down and agreed. Now the situation is stronger than people, and he has to accept it. The discussion in China before his envoy was: as long as the Ming Dynasty does not want Java Island and does not want too much property, other conditions can be agreed.
Yun Xi also gave such an order on the spot because Yang Ben had already discussed it privately with Malabachel before, and was sure that they would agree to such conditions. Otherwise, it would be a shame if you were rejected on the spot.
Chen Di said a few more words and made him retreat.
