Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the capital has ushered in a cold winter with heavy snow.

The civil war in Zhejiang and Fujian is in full swing, and the north has entered a period of extreme peace and tranquility. In October of the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, the two sides jointly formed a huge mission, the number of which claimed to be 3,598 people, led by Timur, the deputy envoy of the Varat Commander, and the deputy envoy Pingzhang Umar, who came to the capital, and after the Ministry of Rites verified, it was found that the Varat mission had falsely reported the number of 1,074 people, which was related to a large amount of rewards, and it was also related to the face of the country, so the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to verify the number of envoys and give rewards.

This historical event has been over-interpreted by the modern academic circles, and the sad thing is that the modern literati are even more cowardly than the ancients, and they actually said that the Ming Dynasty should not be more serious.

The tragedy does not stop there, but also that the modern academic community has once again distorted history, mentioning only one point and not the rest.

The cause of this historical event lies in the dereliction of duty of the military generals of the Ming Dynasty, and the number of the Wara mission at that time was reported by Ma Yi, the commander of the Shanxi Metropolitan Command, and Li Jinggu, the commander of the Juyong Customs Bureau. In fact, the orthodox emperor later pardoned Li Jing, the commander of the Juyong Customs Bureau, but ordered the inspector to supervise the imperial history and take the command of the Shanxi capital to make Ma Yi ask for the guilt.

So, is this comparison of the Ming Dynasty the "cause" that triggered the war? Of course not!

After issuing an order to inspect the mouth and give a reward, the orthodox emperor was worried that this move would anger Warat, so he left the Warat mission to eat and live in Beijing for several months. Over the years, when the envoy of Warat resigned, he also took two major remedial measures.

One is to write to the book of Warat Khan to take off and not to spend. Just imagine, the son of the great tomorrow only has occasional correspondence with the royal family, and every word he usually says is an edict, and even writing a review book is a "guilty edict". During the Hongwu period, the so-called "Japanese king" Lianghuai of the Ming Dynasty, the "letter to the letter" at that time was named by the Ministry of Rites, and it was not the turn of the dignified Ming Taizu to sign it himself.

The orthodox emperor lowered his stature and treated Warat Khan as equals, and expressed his goodwill very sincerely in his letters, honorifically calling Tokhtambuhua "Khan". "Since I ascended the throne, I re-remembered the Khan's reconciliation and sincerity, and governed the people of the north with his governance, especially called the Tatar Khan, and I made peace with the Khan with sincerity, so there is no need to talk about this fiction······ Since ancient times, the way of reconciliation is beneficial to the king, not to the villain, the peace is long, the people are happy, the monarch will always enjoy wealth and wealth, and the villain wants to be evil, and there is no gap to take advantage ······of it."

The letter was full of the word "reconcile", to the point of tirelessness! The orthodox emperor also repeatedly reminded him not to be bewitched by the belligerent villain, which can be said to be a good thing to say, and it also implies a sense of discord.

Second, give a huge reward to Tokhtar and not spend and also give a huge reward. This time the reward was far beyond the usual one, and the value of the bounty was comparable to that of a medium-sized "tribute".

We might as well take a look at what is in the rewards: one hundred and eighty-four colored silk weaving gold python dragons, five gold and silver ingots weighing 500 catties, five thousand six hundred tana beads, two gold and silver chambers and wooden coffins, thirty-eight gold and nine dragon python dragon Hun Jin Wenqi, a silk robe, five embroidered gold clothes, boots and socks, musical instruments, account rooms, and countless medicinal materials. In addition, the Khan's concubine and his first wife were rewarded with 32 pieces of gold and silk and silk, a brocade robe, and three gold clothes, in addition, boots and socks, needlework, fat powder, and velvet.

Compared to such a rich reward, the small reward that the Warat people received because of the Ming Dynasty's verification of the number of false reports was not worth mentioning at all! If you don't spend and don't spend it, you're afraid that your mouth will smile crookedly, how can you raise troops because of anger?

The "mission incident" is not only not the cause of war, but it also tells the world with ironclad facts: endure humiliation and ask for peace, you will only lose your wife and lose your soldiers, when one day in the future, when the foreign soldiers press the border, you will find that all the humiliation and benefits you have endured before are all worthless, and the Ming and Warat will eventually have to fight in the form of war, either abandon the territory and abandon the land until the country is destroyed, or defeat Warat and be reborn!

Moreover, because the Ming Dynasty missed the opportunity to eliminate the accumulated shortcomings and resolve internal worries in his fantasy, when the disaster of war comes, he will pay a hundredfold price!

Daming suffered from the blatant humiliation of Wara one after another, and after a long time, habits became natural, and the mental state of civil and military officials became more and more depressed.

But there are so many well-educated people, there will always be people who are unwilling to endure humiliation, those who have been suppressed by the squire level of insight, and a large number of young and strong men, the anger in their chests is increasing day by day, and one day it will erupt like magma!

Before that, the temple was still in the twilight, and many people were sinking in the labyrinth built by power.

The orthodox emperor could not bear such humiliation, and after the Warat envoy left Beijing, he sent a message to the king and feasted with him.

"King Yu, now the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is a thousand times that of Taizu before and after the founding of the country, and the strength of Wara is not enough to compare with the Yuan soldiers of the year, why is it offensive and defensive?"

This statement is not so much asking the king as it is asking the emperor himself. King Yu knows in his heart: if the internal affairs are not repaired, Jiangnan is still fighting bloody! But how can the king tell the truth? He didn't want to whitewash the peace, put down the wine lord, and smiled before he spoke.

"The younger brother doesn't ask about the government and can't answer, please ask the imperial brother to forgive me."

"The society is restless, you should also pay attention to the government." The emperor drank again, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little drunk.

He put down the wine jue, and for some reason the figure of Zhu Qiming appeared in his mind. For nearly half a year, Zhu Qiming has been staying in the camp, not leaving the camp for an inch, not writing on the table, as if he has evaporated from the world, and even the spies sent by Jinyiwei don't know what he is doing all day long.

The emperor thus ended up with a clean ear, but the Warat envoys disturbed his purity, when His Majesty resigned, the complete Timur said, the king of Yue has always been uninhibited, he is in the Xuanfu, in case of repeated conflicts between the two sides, Warat and the Ming Dynasty peace of the overall situation may not be guaranteed.

"Let King Yue go to the domain, what do you want?" The emperor said blankly.

King Yu was shocked in his heart, calmed down, and reluctantly held a smiling face, "King Yue is brave and strategic, and it seems that he is going to the domain at this time······ It's out of place, of course, it's a big matter, and the ministers can't think clearly, and they still hope that the emperor's brother will seek to reach the nine kings of the court. ”

A drunken light flashed in the emperor's eyes. He was quite confident in the peace offensive he had launched, and with that incomparably sincere letter, coupled with a heavy gift, he was not afraid that the Warat people would not appreciate it!

However, since the Warat people opened their mouths, the emperor couldn't help but think about how to deal with the annoying guy who was in the Longmenchuan camp.

Alas, stay in the capital to make trouble, put him in the north to make trouble, and simply send him to a place where birds don't!
