Chapter 448: What a big bamboo pole

Qin Lin was still groaning, and Lady Xu only guessed the reason, and stroked her palm to the envoy of the Lan throne and smiled: "You want to make Burma pay no tribute!" Hmph, the news is very handy, and it actually begged my parent to drive it. ”

Tribute? Qin Lin frowned, the tribute is not to let Burma come to the Hajj from now on, and to sever the relationship between the suzerainty and the vassal state between *** and it, if you consider it from the perspective of actual interests, that is, the rich reward given by the Ming Emperor when Mang Yinglong lost the tribute, it is worth Annam, Siam and other countries to take a large number of treasures in exchange?

When the three envoys heard the word "Absolute Tribute", they immediately lifted their spirits, and Ruan Song, who was the leader, said hopefully: "That Burmese recklessly responded to the ambition of the dragon wolf, and since he succeeded to the throne, he has redeemed his troops and destroyed Laos, and the soldiers are directed at Thang Long near Hanoi, Vietnam, and my army and people in Annam have suffered for a long time!" If *** is cut off with it, Mang Yinglong's arrogance will inevitably disappear, and my Annan will be encouraged and morale will be greatly boosted! ”

"I Cambodia was forced by the times and had to be with Mang Yinglong, but as long as *** announced the renunciation, my country immediately severed the relationship with Mang Yinglong!" Mahara added.

Chaiwari burst into tears, a handful of snot and tears: "Burma is domineering and domineering, repeatedly invaded my Siam, my lord Tanmaro was forced to surrender, and the Burmese army also ransacked the capital city of Ayuttaya, plundered countless treasures, and forced my lord to be his vassal; robbed the two princes again, and my lord had no choice but to send the princess Su Pan Kanglaya to Mang Yinglong as a concubine, so that the two princes could be exchanged.

Now that Prince Na Lixuan has returned to the country to govern, he has violated Yang Feng in Myanmar, and secretly worked hard to govern the country, and he wants to learn the story of "Ten years of life and reunion, ten years of lessons, and I must repay the deep hatred of the reckless dragon who broke my capital and plundered my princess."

If *** pays tribute to Myanmar, it will make the Burmese government and the opposition terrified, and I, Siam, will rejoice, and the great cause of Prince Najixuan can get twice the result with half the effort! ”

Qin Lin couldn't believe it at first, his face didn't lΓΉ at all, he just nodded vaguely and agreed, "Finally, when they finished complaining, they slowly asked: "Can it have such a great effect just because of the tribute?" ”

Absolutely! Ruan Song, Mahara, and Chaiwali pointed to the heavens and the earth, which means that if *** takes the initiative to announce the renunciation, it will definitely scare out the of the Burmese Mang Yinglong and Mang Yingli father and son, and for the countries and Tusi on the Indochina Peninsula who were invaded and persecuted by the Donghu Dynasty, they must greatly boost their morale and prestige.

Qin Lin listened to the words of the three envoys, "Only then did I have a new understanding of the tributary system established by the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, I always felt that the vassal countries would get some mink skins, elephants and other local specialties, and the imperial court would give back a large number of gold, silver, porcelain, and silk, which seemed to outweigh the losses, including Zheng He's trip to the West, and the economic return was very little or even simply upside down, which felt too cost-effective.

In fact, this is not the case, the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain, reflected quite kindness in the economy, not for the purpose of making money, and later came to the South Seas to form a strong contrast, thus giving the vassal state considerable cohesion;

And militarily and politically, the tributary system with the central government as the core is actually quite powerful, "If there is a usurpation and rebellion in Annam, Korea, Ryukyu and other vassal countries, the Ming Dynasty will immediately exert strong pressure from the political and military aspects, and unceremoniously "rudely interfere in the internal affairs of other countries" Oh no, in this era, it should be said that it is "to maintain the discipline of the monarch and the ministers, and the morality of legal unity".

If there is a conflict between the vassal states, the Ming Dynasty will also mediate as the suzerain, "The vassal country is attacked by other countries, and the Ming will send troops to protect it."

And the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain, could arbitrarily requisition the troops and materials of the vassal states to serve their own strategy, for example, during the Yongle period, the Xuanwei Division was set up in the old port of Nanyang, thousands of miles away, which was the Indonesian island of Sumatra in later generations!

During the Jiajing period, Mao Bowen conquered Annan, and also spread the Tusi of Yunnan, Guangxi, Siam, Zhanla, Laos and other subject countries, and requisitioned more than 10 Tusi of various countries with a total of hundreds of thousands of troops, forming a high-pressure situation of large army pressure on Annan.

If China is a small country, the vassal country is really a small country, and the strength of the country alone will form an overwhelming advantage over any of them, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty will not send troops, and the troops will be spread to the Tusi of each country, and after the army gathers, the rebellious forces will be difficult to resist, and those who know the interests will surrender quickly, and those who do not know the current affairs will not escape defeat.

Over time, the Ming Dynasty is invincible, invincible, the greater the prestige, the cohesion and deterrence of the vassal countries are also rising, what is the movement, spread down the Tusi and the subject countries are enthusiastic to help the war, and it will be more smooth to fight, and it is a good cycle. ,

On the contrary, if you blindly compromise and retreat after encountering a provocation, the vassal countries will naturally regard the central government as weak and bulliable, so who will be willing to send troops to help you fight in a critical situation? Although the strength of the Chinese country is strong, after going deep into the border wilderness, there is no one to help, and it seems that the strength is weak, and it will be more and more difficult to win, and in case of setback, it will further increase the centrifugal tendency of the vassal states", forming a vicious cycle.

Therefore, this time, no matter whether it is in the public or in the sΔ«, Qin Lin should pay tribute to the Burmese Mang Yinglong - in addition to the national righteousness, there is also a valuable gift list on this table!

Xu Wenchang gave Qin Lin a strong look, telling him to agree quickly, let's not be too happy about this kind of public sand and poop! As for how to make Myanmar out of tribute, we are both guys with bad stomachs, are we afraid that we can't think of a way?

Qin Lin was embarrassed, and patted the gift list, "This official is just a little brocade guard official, and he can't control such a thing as a tribute, you should find Pan Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, or Zhang Xiangye, but now it is very rare to call this official, and if you don't agree, you don't feel sorry for the generous gift, haha!" ”

The three envoys were all selected by the country, and as soon as they heard Qin Lin's tone, they knew that it was that when they heard Qin Lin's tone, they were not afraid that Qin Lin would knock off the bamboo pole, they were afraid that Qin Lin would not agree, and they were immediately overjoyed: "The heavenly general Qin is in the emperor's heart, with wide hands and a wide road, who doesn't know?" As long as Lord Qin facilitates this, it goes without saying that the monarchs and ministers of our small country are grateful to Dai De, and there are still some small gifts in the country. ”

Qin Lin mō mō nose, with a wicked smile on his face like a big bad wolf who led yòu Little Red Riding Hood: "Bo Li doesn't need to, this official has a friend who does business at sea, and the market of your three countries also wants to open up, this port and tax rate ......,..."

The three envoys nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice: "Let's repair the port, wait for your friends to come, the tax rate is easy to say, just, let's halve the tax rate according to ***." ”

They originally wanted to say that it was tax-free, because they didn't know how big Qin Lin's friend's business was, so they left a little leeway and halved it, and it wasn't until later that Wufeng Maritime Merchants really did their business in the Three Kingdoms, and the three envoys knew that the tariff reduction was an astronomical amount that scared people to death.

However, "even if they know that it is a pit, they will not hesitate to jump in, and they will be destroyed by Myanmar, what is a little money?"

Seeing off the three messengers, Xu Wenchang gave Qin Lin a thumbs up: "The chief's appetite is really big!"

Are the owners of the gold ships afraid of being overjoyed? ”

Qin Lin smiled very happily, this is called stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, it takes no effort to get it, the envoy of the Three Kingdoms is purely a bamboo pole sent to the door, if you don't knock on it, you don't knock it!

This guy was rarely humble: "Well, Mr. Xu, now we should think of a way, how to pit Mang Yingli again, and get him to the point of no tribute." ”@。
