In fact, except for close neighbors such as Hami and Turpan, the countries that came to the DPRK this time have no connection with each other, and their interests are also different. 【】

Hami is the closest to the Central Plains, and the relationship with the Ming Dynasty is also the closest, as early as the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty had recruited the Hami King Anke Timur as the king of loyalty, and appointed the Ming Zhou An as the long history, Liu Xingshan as Ji Shan, as an auxiliary, and Xie Hong is now engaged in the Xuanfu envoy looks similar, Hami envoy is not aware of the difference.

Turpan is a close neighbor of Hami, and has always had the ambition of unifying all the departments of Xinjiang Province and reproducing the glory of the Chahatai Khanate, so it has always had the ambition of annexing Hami and using it as a springboard to conquer Hexi.

In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Turpan's efforts finally saw results, Hami Khan Shaanba, his son Baiya converted to Islam, proclaimed himself Sultan, although he still did not raise the banner to the Ming Dynasty to rebel, but the intention of the deviation was also obvious, otherwise there would not be this trip to explore the wind.

However, when he came to the Ming Dynasty, Hami found that the strength of the Ming Dynasty was indeed beyond imagination, and in the minds of the Hami envoys, the idea of obeying Turpan to invade Hexi was gone, and instead of it, it was how to persuade his own sultan, so that he could draw a clear line with Turpan and return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty.

The envoys of Turpan were very troubled, there was a Hami between them and the Ming Dynasty, and there was not much local production, no matter how close the relationship with the Ming Dynasty was, it would not be beneficial to rely on trade and tribute alone. Therefore, all along, Turpan's goal has been to annex Hami, as a springboard, to infiltrate the Central Plains.

However, the premise of this must be that Da Ming does not take care of them.

Don't look at the so-called power of the Western Regions, but the Turpan Communist Party has a population of only a few hundred thousand. Its strong enemy to the west, Samarkand, which is more powerful than Turpan, has a population of only about 400,000, and even if all the people are soldiers, how many can go into battle?

In the past, the Ming Dynasty's defense focus was in the north, and the Western Regions were only based on diplomatic envelopment, and Turpan's ambitions were a bit reliable, but now that the Ming Dynasty defeated the Tatar and Warat coalition forces, in the next few years or even ten years, the pressure on the northern Xinjiang will be much smaller, so ...... The envoy of Turpan was secretly worried, and Mansu Khan's plan was indeed a bit out of place.

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" The envoy of Samarkand was a bearded man with a big head, and his country was located in Uzbekistan in later generations, and he had no direct connection with the Ming Dynasty.

"It should be a good thing." The envoy of Wusi Zang is a lama, with a fat head and big ears, wearing a Tibetan yellow lama robe, and he looks a little like Maitreya Buddha.

As early as the fifth year of Hongwu, the Emperor of Wusi Tibetan sent an envoy to the court and accepted the title of national teacher of Emperor Taizu. They have a deep and unique understanding of the dispatch officers of the Ming Dynasty.

There are two forms of tribute to the Ming Dynasty, one is uninvited, just like the countries of the Western Regions; The other is to come in response to the call, just like the Japanese monarch and minister this time. When the Yongle Emperor ascended the throne, Wu Sizang also responded to a call, and the harvest was very good.

Therefore, when he spoke, the lama also looked at the Japanese people with envy, and looked at the other party with some hair, wondering if this strangely dressed monk had any strange hobbies.

"Then don't worry......" A short, dark man stroked his chest and let out a long sigh.

Located in the southern part of Vietnam in later generations, the Champa state is now overwhelmed by the invasion of the Nguyen dynasty of Annam, and this time they have come to fight the autumn breeze and at the same time to ask for help.

The envoy's name was Sha Zhi Zhangma, who was the uncle of Shagu Buluo, the king of Champa, and they welcomed the expansion of the Ming Dynasty. A hundred years ago, when the Ming Dynasty ruled Annam, the city of Zhancheng did not have such a great pressure, in a normal pattern, the Ming Dynasty expanded to the south, and the first thing was Annam, so that Annam was too busy to take care of himself, and he could not continue to go south.

However, like the Ryukyu people, the Cham people also did not want to lose the throne, and the Sha Department was also a little worried about the Ming Dynasty's establishment of a Xuanfu envoy, and was infected by Shang Dang's nervous emotions, and became even more worried, until he listened to the lama's words, he was relieved.

The fat lama raised his palm with one palm, and comforted with a smile: "The living Buddha is above, there is nothing to worry about, most of the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty are unwilling in the court, and it is just a matter of distributing it in this name, it is only good for us, there is no harm." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The officials of the Ming Dynasty are accustomed to enjoying themselves in the Central Plains, but they will not lose their habits when they go to remote places, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty are generally very rich, even those who have lost power," the lama suddenly changed his words and asked: "Lord Sha, your country is adjacent to Siam, you should also know something about it, right?" ”

"I know a little bit about it." Sha Department nodded his head, Siam is the ancient name of Thailand, although it is not bordered by the city, but there are some contacts, but in recent years, the whole country of the city has been tired of dealing with the invasion of Annam, but there is little understanding of the surrounding situation.

However, when the lama mentions Siam, he is not talking about political and military topics, but about regional customs.

"Siamese and the Central Plains customs are diametrically opposite, women's status is higher than men, when the treasure ship arrived, Siamese women mostly served each other, among which there were quite a few who were married, and the husbands of these women were not ashamed, but proud, but why?" This lama can be an envoy, and he also has two brushes, at least in terms of knowledge.

"This ......" Sha thought about it, he knew the customs of Siam, but he really didn't know much about this allusion, but as an uncle Wang, he was not a fool after all, thinking of the lama's previous words, and the legend of the treasure ship circulating in the Champa country, he quickly had an answer: "Could it be because of the Ming people on the fleet......"

"Yes, Daming has always had a good face, when the living Buddha came to the court, wasn't it just ......"

"That's it?" Seeing the joy of what the lama said, it seemed that there was a meaning to teach the secret, and the messengers with the intention of fighting the autumn wind were interested.

"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just sincerity." What is sincerity? It's nothing more than flattery, coaxing the emperor to be happy, naturally it is a lot of money, and everyone knows the truth, but how to coax, there is a way.

This time the lama also came prepared, he knew that Zhengde was interested in all new things, including religion, and was also very rich and generous, and his plan was to find out the details of Zhengde, and then repeat the old tricks to make a good profit.

The autumn wind crowd from the west and south was discussing hotly, while the others were watching from the sidelines.

After seeing the domineering of the Ming Dynasty and encountering repeated blows, the monarchs and ministers of the Wa Kingdom have thoroughly seen the reality, and they have even begun to calculate in their hearts, whether the Ming Dynasty wants to annex the Wa State or cede the territory, of course, they can't experience the joy and expectation of the autumn breeze.

Shang Dang stirred up the topic, but he didn't get what he wanted, what he wanted was a rational analysis by someone who fully understood the Ming Dynasty, and at this point, the most authoritative person was not the self-righteous lama, but the North Koreans who dealt with the Ming the most, or the steppe man who was dressed as a shepherd.

However, the two most critical figures have not spoken out. The tall steppe man had been looking at the Mo knife in the hands of the guards steadily, and his eyes were quite fanatical, but he was similar to the young man among the Japanese people.

The young man's surname was also Tsukahara, and he was supposed to be the nephew of the person who went to war. Blood is heart-to-heart, and when the others are stunned, only this person ran up and dragged the half-dead Tsukahara back, and then Tsukohara seemed to say something to him, and then he kept staring at Modao.

The leader of the DPRK was in a different posture, he had been looking at the Taihe Hall without squinting, his body bowed slightly, his demeanor was extremely respectful, and he was completely dismissive of the talk around him. Combined with his understanding of the relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, in Shang Dang's view, he looks like this, and he has a very unfathomable feeling.

After hesitating, Shang Dang finally decided to ask for an explanation, so as not to make a mistake, so that the catastrophe would not be recovered, and the capital of the Ryukyus was too small to make mistakes.

He leaned over to Min Zhenghao and asked in a low voice: "Lord Min, North Korea and Ryukyu are both in the East China Sea, and they are both vassals of the Ming Dynasty, and they have always been respectful. ”

Min Zhenghao turned his head without a trace, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he smiled slightly and said, "Lord Shang, do you know who those people were who were executed just now?" ”

"Know ......" As soon as he thought of this, Shang Dang's face began to turn pale, how could he not know? Last year, he had just come to the capital once, and he had also participated in a court meeting, although he remembered his surname in general, but he was still very impressed by the top members of the court class.

"So, the current Da Ming, or since a few years ago, is already different from the previous Da Ming......" Min Zhenghao said with deep feelings, Shang Dang also felt the same way, and nodded again and again. It must be different, what kind of identity is the minister, in the past, how could he be cut like a dog?

"The subordinate relationship of the country, just like father and son, of course, those of us who are children and grandchildren have to observe words and colors, so that we can keep pace with the times. Therefore, we can't be like those idiots, and still look at Shangguo with old eyes, and it is the heroic ...... to adapt to the times," Min Zhenghao said earnestly.

"What does Min-sama mean...... Could it be that the Xuanfu envoy is ......" Shang Dang wanted to speak and stopped, those two words were on his lips, but he couldn't say them.

"Wang Hua is a great thing!" Min Zhenghao said it for him, seeing that Shang Dang was very good, he also tried his best to promote his own concept, "Think about it, how rich the Ming Dynasty is, and how prosperous the Central Plains is!" Not to mention the Ryukyus, which is located overseas, even North Korea is beyond the reach of the dust, and what a cost-effective deal it is to give up that bit of power in a remote place in exchange for the green hat of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"But ......"

"No, the great tomorrow is benevolent, after the king, people like you and me can protect the family wealth......"

He smiled mysteriously, and said in his heart: "You must know that Wang Hua takes time, not to mention a few years, in the meantime, you can do whatever you want in the country, how much you scrape, it's your own, if someone is dissatisfied, there are people behind you to support you!" Think about it, what a great opportunity! ”

Min Yizheng has been a leading party, and is currently actively moving closer to the naked officials of later generations, and his personal experience and experience is called a rich, which is to the point, and it is vivid. Shang Dang listened to it with a heartbeat, and he enjoyed it for a few years, and then brought his wealth to the Heavenly Dynasty to enjoy the blessings, what a beautiful future this is! Compared with the confrontation with Da Ming, it is much stronger to be ruined in the end.

He said gratefully: "Lord Min is really righteous, and he actually told him with this, for the next, it is as straight as the grace of regeneration, and I really don't know how to repay it in the future." ”

"Brother Shang Xian, the difference between the status of you and me in our respective countries seems to be the difference between what you have and what you have, and the same is true in the future, so helping you is helping myself, and you don't need to be so polite." In the same situation, coupled with Min Yizheng's skillful skills, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up, and they enthusiastically discussed a beautiful vision for the future.
