Zhu Cijiong, Xu Guangqi and Huang Daozhou discussed for a long time, and finally decided on the reception process and reception specifications for this tribute.

In the end, Zhu Cijiong made a unified reply through a telegram, welcoming the tributes of Nibazi, Pazhu, Boni and Sulu, and allowing various countries to send an envoy of about 100 people to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute.

At the same time, it was also specifically explained that if there was an intention to be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, the king needed to personally lead the envoy to come.

Zhu Cijiong's meaning is very simple: either you accept the "Ming Vassal State Order System" and obey the Ming Dynasty; Either you should treat it as an ordinary friendly exchange, you send Daming a few cars of gifts to show respect, and Daming will give you dozens of cars of gifts to express gratitude.

However, the kings of Niba, Pazhu, Boni, and Sulu did not think so when they received the reply.

The reason why Nibazi and Pazhu wanted to send envoys to pay tribute was because they were frightened by the Ming Dynasty, they knew how strong the Mughal Empire was, if it weren't for the Persian Empire in the west, the Mughal Empire would have destroyed them a long time ago, and now such a powerful empire has been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, do you say they are afraid.

The kings of the two countries thought that the Ming Dynasty was threatening them, and they understood Zhu Cijiong's meaning as: Either the king will personally lead the team to claim the courtiers, or he will clean you up!

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, the kings of the two countries decided that they should personally lead the team to claim the vassals, if they annoy the Ming Dynasty, it will be over.

The kings of Bo Ni and Sulu were also frightened, but they were not frightened by the Ming, but by the Dutch, fortunately the Ming drove the Dutch away, otherwise if the Dutch found their hiding place, they would be finished!

As for being a minister to Daming, it doesn't matter, they don't even have a country, and there is nothing to lose.

In addition to these four countries, there is another country that is also frightened, and this country is the Persian Empire, which has been fighting the Mughal Empire for decades.

The Persian Empire, now called the Safavid Empire of Persia to be precise, was also a very powerful empire, and almost all of Central Asia was their domain, and its heyday included Iran, Iraq, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and parts of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

However, it was precisely because of the war with the Mughal Empire that they went into decline.

It is not that the Mughal Empire is necessarily stronger than the Persian Safavid Empire, but because they have too many opponents, they have to deal not only with the Ottoman Empire in the west, but also with the Mughal Empire in the east.

They couldn't have imagined that in just a few months, the mighty Mughal Empire was wiped out by the Ming Empire!

This is a rather terrifying thing, you know, on the eastern front, they can't even do the Mughal Empire, and now the east has been replaced by a Ming Empire that can easily destroy the Mughal Empire, if you want to say that you are not afraid, it is fake.

Just as they were still thinking about how to deal with the Ming Empire in the east, an even more terrible news came, the Ottoman Empire in the west was actually discussing an alliance with the Ming Empire.

This matter, if analyzed from a strategic point of view, it could not be clearer, after the alliance between the two countries, they attacked from the east and west at the same time, and destroyed the Persian Empire in one fell swoop!

Of course, they didn't know that neither Zhu Cijiong nor Su Yiman had thought about this issue, and the alliance between the two countries was not to deal with the Persian Empire at all.

It was precisely because they didn't know that they were so frightened that once the two countries united to clean them up, the Persian Empire was doomed, so the emperor of the Persian Empire, Abbas II, couldn't sit still, and he immediately sent an envoy to Kandahar, hoping to get in touch with the Ming Empire.

As for why not go to the Ottoman Empire, it's very simple, both countries have been fighting for Central Asia for more than a hundred years, and this beam is too big, and it makes no sense to go to them.

There is at least a little hope for finding the Ming Empire, after all, the Ming Empire is a well-known state of etiquette, and his requirements are not high, he doesn't want to form an alliance, just don't beat me!

When Zhu Cijiong received Hou Shilu's recital, he couldn't cry or laugh, who said that he was going to fight the Persian Empire, there was no such thing at all!

There is a reason why the Ming Dynasty cleaned up the Mughal Empire, and later generations know that the Mughal Empire is too annoying to clean him up.

However, the Persian Empire is different, there is no grudge and no hatred, why fight, Da Ming does not want to dominate the world!

However, since people take the initiative to come to the door to deliver food, it is not okay not to take two mouthfuls, because this world is so strange, when you are very strong on the surface, if you don't take advantage of it, others will think that you are afraid of him.

This kind of advantage is not taken advantage of, so Zhu Cijiong generously agreed, allowing the Persian Empire to send an envoy to the Ming Empire to discuss the problems between the two countries.

Immediately after that, he was busy, and there were five envoys before and after, and he had to meet each of them in person.

The first to arrive was the envoy group of the Pazhu Kingdom, and to Zhu Cijiong's surprise, their king actually came with the group.

King Pazhu has no opinion on the "Ming Domain's Decree System", after seeing the strength of the Ming Empire all the way, where does he dare to say half a word, the vassal country is the vassal country, it is better than being destroyed, the Ming Empire wants to crush them is like crushing an ant!

Zhu Cijiong welcomed their voluntary surrender, directly designated them as second-class subject states, and personally crowned the king of Pazhu, awarded them seal robes, and rewarded them with a bunch of Chongzheng Tongbao, dragon coins, silk, cloth, porcelain and tea.

As for the army, there is no need to form an army in such a small place, just let the Jiangnan Reserve Army send a thousand people to it.

This is considered the end of the Pazhu country, and then, the mud eight thorns are the same as Pazhu, and they are also led by the king himself, and finally Zhu Cijiong also designated them as second-class subject countries and gave them a large number of materials.

Then Bo Ni and Sulu envoys came together, they were all sent by the warships of the Nanyang Naval Division, these two kings were even more strange, after seeing the prosperity of the Ming capital, they actually asked to live permanently, Zhu Cijiong also approved, directly named each of them a hereditary Ming Earl, and gave them a huge mansion, so that they can live in the capital with peace of mind.

In the end, the Persian envoys were left, and since the South Asian railway had not yet reached Kandahar, they had to travel for more than ten days to the nearest station before they could get on the train.

What's so good about blackmailing them? See the next chapter breakdown.
