Chapter 151: The Dismount of the Vassal State
During the Yongle Dynasty, a large number of feudal states were developed.
The Ming Dynasty had more vassal states than any dynasty in history, even if it was the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago!
Not only that, Ying Tianfu is the power center of the world and the world!
This city, a symbol of power, has finally welcomed the envoys of various countries.
It's just that although there were many vassal states in the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the prestige of the great power, the tribute had to be doubled and returned to others.
It is precisely because of this that there is a suspicion of dragging down the Ming Dynasty later.
Zhu Chen hates this kind of practice, he hates it very much!
If you are strong, you should hide the treasures, and then ask the younger brothers to hand over the belongings, how can you share them with them.
Aren't these dogs living too nourishing?
Today, you have to slaughter it well, and slaughter it to death!
If it is possible, we must strive to change this vulgar tributary system.
Although the scholars and doctors are smart, Zhu Chen does not agree with this pedantic method of sending money.
Ji Gang, Cuihua Qiuxiang, the three of them, followed Zhu Chen all the way and hurried to the gate of the city.
Yingtianfu is the capital, even the city gate is vast and heavy, full of the royal road that an empire should have!
Today, the gates are wide open.
The Great Ming Kingdom gave these Fanbangs enough face and made their roads wider.
Don't bully the weak, this is the idea of the scholars, even if it is discrimination, they are unwilling.
When Zhu Chen walked to the gate of Yingtianfu City, he found that the city gate was twice as big as usual, just because the usual city gate was only half open.
Even if it is half, it is enough for the flow of traffickers and pawns, which shows the size of the city gate.
When Zhu Chen walked here, at the gate of the city, the idle people had been cleared, and dozens of officials came forward and respectfully bowed their hands: "Dare to ask if it is Zhu Gongzi?" It was the emperor who sent us to assist you. ”
The wind was so strong that they couldn't even open their eyes.
This little-known kid, the officials are actually a little unconvinced.
However, Zhu Chen doesn't care whether they are convinced or not, as long as there are many people, they can support the Ming Dynasty!
"It's me, now that everyone is together, let's go out to meet them." Zhu Chen grinned and said expectantly.
The purge of idle people and so on is not to purge the people, but to fear that the ministers will be assassinated and die in our Ming Dynasty, which will fall into the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Chen took the officials and walked out of Yingtianfu.
Outside the city gates, a total of four teams were waiting.
They are Dongying, the Li Dynasty (Chaoxian), Java, and Ryukyu.
Other feudal kingdoms that are close to each other are still coming one after another, and those who are too far away are estimated to have not received the news yet, but it is only a matter of time before their gifts will be delivered after all.
Seeing that Daming was coming, the envoys of the four feudal states hurriedly dismounted, walked quickly in front of Zhu Chen, and saluted one after another.
The procession behind them, each with about a thousand people, was carrying Eli Lilly.
This gift seems to be quite generous.
"I've seen the envoys of the Ming Dynasty."
"I've seen adults."
"I've seen the little general......"
Each country has its own customs, and the title of Zhu Chen is naturally different.
Its envoy to Dongying is none other than Yuan Yili, and the little general is exactly what he shouted.
Seeing Zhu Chen, Yuan Yili was worried from the bottom of his heart, because he was miserable by Zhu Chen last time, and this time he saw that Zhu Chen was an envoy, and he instinctively felt uneasy in his heart.
Zhu Chen's eyes swept over the four envoys one by one, and he grinned: "Okay, everyone, no one has embarrassed you along the way, right?" ”
Bewilderment?
Maybe there is, because the Ming Kingdom has always looked down on them, and the things that local officials secretly make trouble will also happen.
But do they dare to sue?
Yuan Yili smiled politely and said with all kinds of flattery: "Little general, we are here to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, who can embarrass us." ”
Come up and lick it, this source of righteousness is much more shameless than other envoys.
There's no way, I'm scared by Zhu Chen, I can't lick it.
The envoy of the Lee dynasty was named Kim Won-gil, and Kim was a big surname in the Lee dynasty, and in addition to that, there was also the surname Park.
Jin Yuanji also hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Little general, with the Yongle Emperor shining on the Ming Dynasty, we have been taken care of all the way, and I also ask the little general to express our gratitude for us." ”
His words were very smooth.
It's exactly the same as Chinese, if you don't distinguish it carefully, you even think that he is a Han person.
Zhu Chen looked at Jin Yuanji in surprise, frowned, and said, "Which country's envoy are you?" ”
Jin Yuanji hurriedly said: "Little General Qiyu, I am an envoy of the court." ”
Zhu Chen grinned.
Good guys, the Li dynasty is also here.
"Chaoxian, is that the country that calls itself Little China?" Zhu Chen asked knowingly.
Before Chaoxian, it was not called Chaoxian, but Goryeo.
Later, Li Chenggui usurped Goryeo and begged Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, to give him the name of the country, so he was called Chaoxian.
This country, whether it is the imperial court system or customs, is very similar to China.
Daming has three public and six departments, and they also have them.
Moreover, they often take pride in calling themselves Little China.
Jin Yuanji smiled with a smile on his face: "Yes, the little general is really wise." ”
Zhu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he didn't smile: "The Li Dynasty, what qualifications do you have to be called Little China?" With the permission of our Daming? ”
Can such a small place be called Little China?
What's more, this Li dynasty has never been a loyal dog, it is completely a wall-riding faction, only if you are strong, he will come to be filial to you.
And once you fall into weakness, they will want to profit from it, from ancient times to modern times.
Zhu Chen's senses for them were extremely poor.
Li Fangyuan, the Taizong of the Li Dynasty, on the grounds that his Li family's ancestral land was in the northeast, actually asked Zhu Di to return the ten virgin Jurchen lands in the northeast.
The Yongle Emperor was eloquent and strategic, but unfortunately he also believed his nonsense and recognized that the Tumen River was the territory of the Li Dynasty.
But this land was originally handed down by our ancestors, why was he deceived it?
Zhu Chen remembered this.
Zhu Chen suddenly came up and gave a dismount, as a representative of the Ming Dynasty, what he said represented the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Jin Yuanji's face disappeared, and was replaced by a panicked face.
Jin Yuanji hurriedly bowed, cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Little general, we have trespassed." ”
Is one sentence of trespass enough?
You wait, sooner or later you will bleed.
Zhu Chen sneered in his heart and said lightly: "If you don't let yourself call yourself Little China, you can't shout like this, don't fall into the prestige of my Ming Dynasty." ”
"You have to give the emperor a fold, see if the emperor agrees to give you this title, don't you put gold on your face, understand?"
That's right.
Right now, the Ming is the center of the world and the strongest empire.
His Li dynasty licked his face and shouted that he was Little China, whose power did he want to rely on?
Jin Yuanji was warned like this, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Little general, please listen to my explanation, we don't mean this......"
Zhu Chen sneered: "That's not what it means, how many meanings does that mean?" ”
Seeing that Zhu Chen really had the intention of fighting with them to the end, Jin Yuanji was also frightened, and said with a respectful face: "Little general, what you teach me is that I will replace Taizong to give the emperor of the Ming Dynasty a fold another day, and beg the emperor to give us the name of Little China." ”
Zhu Chen grinned.
He knew that the emperor sent him to receive the envoys to get money from them.
If you don't get scared now, how will you make money later?
If you can't get the money, I'm afraid it's not easy for the old man who is a guarantor.
It's just that after being scared, you should appease and appease them, otherwise you will really frighten them.
Zhu Chen said with a smile: "I'll just say this, since the four envoys are here, then go in with us." ”
"Bring things in, people stay."
It's slaughtered.
