Now, coinciding with the arrival of the Zhengdan Dynasty in the fourth year of Chongzhen, these Mongolian tribal leaders who are willing to build a city on the grassland and yearn to control the new pastures through the construction of the city will certainly not miss this great opportunity to make a pilgrimage to the Ming Emperor to ask for help and receive a reward.

The Kundulun Khan Burhatu of Karaqin provided them with an example to follow, and the mountain city of Ulan Hada not only provided a place for the Karaqin people to take refuge during the cold and long winters, but also discouraged the Jurchen armies of the Later Jin Kingdom.

And all this comes from the construction of the mountain city of Ulan Hada and the continuous assistance of the Ming Emperor to the Karaqin Department.

Right now, for Ji Rentai, Sukhbaru and others, if they have a word from Emperor Ming, they will be able to get those magical things that can quickly build cities on the Saibei grassland.

Therefore, after inquiring and understanding the trick, the commander of Dalatwe, Ji Rentai, the commander of Hang Jinwei, Sukhbaru, and the commander of Uratwei, Seleng, selected the best horses on the grassland from the end of October, and submitted a request to Shuofang Town Shoufu and Jiuyuan Town Shoufu to send envoys to participate in the Zhengdan Dynasty.

The coming of foreign vassals to the dynasty was a meritorious thing for the civil officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty.

This point, whether it is in Cao Wenzhao, the Bo of Anyuan, or Liu Zhaoji, the guard of Jiuyuan who has just returned from the Wusi-Tibet region, has not been exempt from vulgarity.

As a result, the requests of the commanders of these Mongolian tribes of the outer feudal domains were quickly reported to the Imperial Court and the Ministry of Rites through the two town guards and the Yamen of the Governor of Hezhong.

Of course, the Imperial Court and the Ministry of Rites will not object to this kind of icing on the cake.

As a result, these small tribal envoys from the northwest fringe region were soon qualified to attend the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting of the Emperor's Pole Hall in the fourth year of Chongzhen.

In addition to these envoys from the Mongol tribes of the outer domains, the envoys from the former vassal states, the new vassal states, and the pure foreign countries sent to the court this year are even more than the previous year.

The so-called former subject country is talking about Myanmar.

Since the collapse of the Ava Dynasty in northern Burma and the rise of the Taungoo Dynasty in Lower Burma during the Jiajing Dynasty, the rulers of Myanmar have never come to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

These rulers of the Donghu Dynasty not only did not come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, but also repeatedly sent troops to the north, invaded the borders of the Ming Dynasty, and fantasized about tearing off a piece of meat from the southwestern territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the wishful thinking and death of the Donghu Dynasty that shook the tree ended in complete failure in history.

However, because the Ming Dynasty's monarchs and ministers did not realize the value of the tropical jungles in northern Burma, the so-called land of smoke miasma, the Ming Dynasty's army did not move further south to occupy northern Burma.

Otherwise, the king of Donghu in Burma would have to go north to the Ming Dynasty and ask for canonization and tribute.

Now, after nearly a hundred years, Ta Long, the current king of the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma, finally sent tributary envoys to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to meet with him.

At present, the envoys from the Taungoo Dynasty in Burma, accompanied by Zhu Zhaoxian, the third son of Zhu Xieyuan, the Marquis of Jingnan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and others, were on their way to Beijing with tribute and covenants.

Since a year ago, the envoy of the Portuguese Governor's Palace, Perez, came to the Ming Dynasty to participate in the pilgrimage, and reached a series of agreements with the Ming Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, that is, with the tripartite treaty reached and the entourage rushed back to Manraka Jiaocha.

Anders Longsteide, the Portuguese governor in Mantraga, was very pleased that Perez was able to go to the Ming Dynasty and meet the Ming Emperor smoothly, and even successfully reached a treaty with the Ming Dynasty on Portuguese interests in Burma.

The situation in Portugal, and the situation that the Portuguese are facing in the East, especially in Burma, may not be clear to others, but as the highest official sent to the East by King João IV of Portugal (who was actually the Duke of Portugal at this time), he is clear.

At this time, the Portuguese were in a critical stage of fighting for independence from Spain, and the Portuguese army, the king and the upper nobles were mainly focused on the domestic and the struggle against the Spaniards, and they had no time to care about these distant regions in the East.

If it weren't for the fact that these small Portuguese colonies in the East were able to provide the Portuguese with a lot of gold and silver wealth in their struggle for independence, these colonies would have been abandoned long ago.

Once they went to war with the Ming Dynasty army in the East, the Portuguese trade in Burma and the Portuguese trade in Ho Kiang Ao would be severely impacted, even devastating.

This was not what Anders Lonstede, the governor of Manraga in Portugal, wanted to see.

In particular, at the juncture when the Dutch and the English marched into the East, although the Portuguese had many colonial strongholds in the East, they were threatened by these Western colonial powers who came from behind.

At least these trading strongholds around the Ming Dynasty, which are under the responsibility of the Governor's Office of Manraka, I am afraid that problems will soon arise.

Thus, when Peres returned to the Viceroyalty of Manraka with the treaty reached, the promises he brought back from the Ming Emperor, as well as the treaty with the Ming Dynasty, were immediately supported by the Governor, Anders Longsteide.

Anders Longstead not only ratified the treaty quickly, but also wrote a letter to report to the country, appointing Peres as Portugal's highest commercial representative in Burma, and sending him to the Portuguese trade representative office in Bago, the capital of the Taungoo Dynasty in Burma.

In the middle of September of the third year of Chongzhen's reign, a clipper ship from Lisbon, Portugal, brought a reply letter from the Duke of Portugal, João IV, to the governor of Manlaga, Lonstede.

João IV not only granted the Viceroyalty of Manlaga and the Viceroy Anders-Lonstede the authority to administer all Portuguese colonies in the East Indies, but also gave Lonstede full authority to negotiate trade with the Ming Dynasty on behalf of Portugal.

Perez, who had successfully made contact with the Ming Dynasty and reached an agreement, was directly appointed by the Portuguese Duke João IV as the new Portuguese governor of Salian in Burma, on the advice of Lonsteide.

At this time, Talon, the king of Donghu, who had some firearms aided by the Portuguese and was unwilling to submit to the Ming Dynasty, finally understood the true position of the Portuguese, and after hesitation, finally accepted the terms reached between the Manraka Governor's Office and the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of September of the third year of Chongzhen's reign, the new Portuguese governor of Salian, Perez, sent a Franciscan elder missionary named Pimenta, and a deputy who was then traveling north with Perez, a trade representative of the Salian governor's palace named Peterson Cohen, to the north with the envoy sent by Talon, the king of Talon, to the north.

In addition to carrying a large number of ivory, jade, pearl jade and other treasures, the envoys sent by Ta Long, the king of Donghu, naturally also brought with them the tripartite treaty between the Ming Dynasty, Portugal and the Donghu Dynasty, which had been signed and sealed.

After succeeding to the throne, he knew that after years of war, the country was ruined, and the people's livelihood was withered, and he urgently needed to recuperate.

Therefore, after succeeding to the throne, Tarong stopped the war with the Ayutthaya dynasty in Siam (i.e., the Ayutthaya dynasty in Thai history) and with the Lao Kingdom (later Laos), which lasted for many years, and turned his main energies to sorting out his own internal affairs.

During his nearly two decades of rule over south-central Burma, the Taungoo dynasty regained its weakened national power.

However, in this life, whether he is a self-respecting and self-reliant monarch or not, he cannot be unconvinced when facing the current Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Portuguese governor supported him in the fight against the Tusi forces of the Ming Dynasty for northern Burma, then he might have been able to take a hard line and refuse the Ming Dynasty's demands.

But the current Portuguese governor in Salian, Perez, is not overwhelmingly on the side of the Taungoo dynasty.

Without the support of the guns and ammunition of the Portuguese Governor's Mansion of Salian, and without the Portuguese mercenaries of the Governor's Mansion of Salian, the army of the king of Donghu Talon was not at all the opponent of the battle-hardened Yungui Tusi army of the Ming Dynasty.
