It's just that when he got closer to the coastline and saw that his once prosperous hometown was in ruins, Ogasawara Nagakatsu almost failed to climb up from the sea.

The current governor of the Matsuura clan was Matsuura Mori, and after he got the news from Ogasawara Nagakatsu, he didn't have the slightest doubt, he couldn't forget the horror when the dense cannonballs fell from the sky, Izumo, Hakuki, Iwami, Nagato, Chikuzen, Tsushima, and Hizen were in ruins, and the house he lived in now was almost completely destroyed.

Tsushima and Hizen suffered heavy losses, believing that Ashikaga Shogun already knew, Matsuura Mori listened impatiently and waved his hand, "Got it!" ”

Ogasawara's heart was full of despair, and at this moment, he really wished that he could die in that bombing, so that he would not have to face the resentful but helpless reality in front of him.

Shi Ami has aged very fast in the past two years, he has been trying to find a way to rescue those Japanese students, find a way to return to Japan, and find a way to know the plans of the Japanese general, but he can't do anything, and his life is full of sadness and helplessness.

He wanted to commit suicide by disembowelment several times, but the mission on his shoulders was not completed, if he died, he would be sorry for the Yamato Sun God, he was a coward.

Shi Ami said very attentively, "I am not a Ming person, there is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that the same country is a stranger, we are all people who come from a foreign land, and we can be regarded as destined people." ”

After introducing each other, as soon as Sanlie Zhaopingya heard that this person was actually a Japanese robber, he immediately lost the desire to speak.

Seeing that the other party's attitude was not very enthusiastic, after a little thought, he understood what was going on, he didn't think so, pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, and explained, "Not every person in the country of the rising sun is a wolf, I think every country has some saboteurs, they not only cause trouble in their own country, but also harm their neighbors, and there is no way to do it." ”

He glanced in the direction of the Ming Imperial Palace, "My Sunrise Country is also very grateful to the Ming Navy, they wiped out the lairs of those damn pirates on Xiaoliuqiu Island in one fell swoop, and from now on, this sea area should be much quieter." ”

The Kingdom of Zhenla did not know the grievances between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom, and when they heard that the Japanese had been bulldozed, they were very happy, and their attitude towards the world was much better.

"The navy of the Ming Dynasty is really powerful, I heard that their ships are made of iron?" ”

"Yes, their ships are not made of planks, so their ships will be the overlords of the seas, and no ship of any country will dare to collide with them wherever they pass, and their guns are very powerful." ”

The others had never seen the Ming artillery with their own eyes, and poverty limited their imagination, so they became more and more curious, and asked, "Have you seen the Ming artillery?" ”

"Yes, I have the honor to be next to the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming warships held the launching ceremony, their artillery used to visit our country, and the coastal cities were bombarded, I can hardly imagine that kind of tragic situation. It's our pleasure, though! ”

Shi Ami said very religiously, but these words inevitably made Shenlie Zhaopingya and others think deeply, thinking that Daming charged them everywhere, and always felt that Daming was high to them and did not give them due respect.

A sense of crisis arose, and before that, this sense of crisis was suppressed by Shen Lie Zhaopingya and others.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he didn't say any more, he stood up, called someone to come and settle the tea money, and saluted to Sanlie Zhaopingya, "It is really an honor to be at the same table with His Royal Highness the Lord today, and when he returns to Japan, I will state to His Majesty the Emperor His Highness's kindness and friendliness." “

Sanlie Zhaopingya nodded, he waited for Shi Ami to leave, and he didn't speak for a long time.

It's still lively outside, and the prosperity and strength of Daming broke into their eyes very strongly, and it also deeply shocked their hearts, but You Xing didn't, after all, no matter how good the liveliness, they all belonged to someone else's family.

Returning to the guest room, although the hour was not early, Shen Lie Zhaopingya still summoned the ministers to discuss, and he instructed, "We must inquire clearly, whether today's words are true, and if so, why did Da Ming do this?" ”

The others also agreed, and said, "Fortunately, we came to Daming and learned about these things in time, which is also convenient for us to inquire about the truth." However, should we ask the Ming court after inquiring clearly? ”

"Of course!"

The next day, the people not only spent a lot of money to inquire about the Ming Dynasty's bombing of the uninhabited islands of Korea and the coastal cities of Japan. And the occupation of Annan and Champa by the Ming Dynasty's marine forces was known to Zhenla for a long time.

They were still gloating before, but by this time, they were already cold.

The key is that they are still happy to take the initiative to come to the door, will Daming detain them? Will they be asked to pay for their redemption?

Sanlie Zhaopingya couldn't wait to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but fortunately, Zhu Di happened to be bored and agreed to their audience.

Zhu Di met with Shenlie Zhaopingya and others at Fengtianmen, accompanied and guided by Zhu Gaochi, Shenlie Zhaopingya and others came in from outside the palace, and when they walked to the gate of Fengtianmen, they saw the railroad tracks and trains in the glass cover.

What is it?

Shen Lie Zhaoping couldn't move his feet, seeing their gaze, Zhu Di, who was drinking tea in the door, couldn't help but smile when he saw it, the awe-inspiring demeanor of the lord of the Heavenly Empire had already spread out from his body quietly.

"This is ......," Shen Lie Zhaoping asked Zhu Gaochi regardless of the rudeness.

After the translation, Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "This is the project that I am implementing in the Ming Dynasty, this is the railroad track, this is the train." ”

Having said that, they don't understand either.

Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to let his father wait longer, and hurriedly urged, "Your Royal Highness, my Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is still waiting!" ”

Sanlie Zhaopingya hurriedly walked up, and when he entered the gate, he respectfully saluted Zhu Di, who was high above, "The lord of the lower country Zhenla, Shenlie Zhaopingya, greets my honorable Emperor Ming, long live, long live, long live!" ”

"Flat!" Zhu Di raised his hand and said, "Give me a seat!" ”

Huang Yan asked the two little eunuchs to bring a rose chair, and after Shen Lie Zhaoping sat down, his heart calmed down a little, at least, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty respected him, the lord of a country, and did not let him kneel all the time to reply.

Next, Zhu Di casually asked whether the journey of Shenlie Zhaopingya was safe, and whether he was still used to it after coming to Daming? After a few words of greeting, Zhu Di said, "Your country and your party are coming, I welcome you very much, I hope that in Daming, you are like in your own home, if there is anything that needs help, just mention, I hope that every guest who comes from afar can feel at home!" ”

Hearing this, he sat on the small pestle on the side, and said with the priest who came to see him with Zhao Pingya, "Your Majesty the Emperor, since the Ming Dynasty welcomes us so much, why do we have to spend money after we come, regardless of food, clothing, housing and transportation?" ”

He thinks that it is probably the same everywhere, the policies above, the countermeasures below, maybe His Majesty the Emperor does not mean to ask us to spend money, but those people below deceive the upper and lower levels and put the money in their own pockets.

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, it was really a barbarian, and he spoke so directly, he saw Shen Lie Zhaoping tooth holding a teacup and drinking water, and a nausea overflowed in his heart, and he opened his eyes and held back the spitting that came up.

"This is my Ming national policy, and if my Ming envoys go to your country in the future, they will also not need your country's additional hospitality. Our two countries have normal diplomatic relations, and we need to build embassies on each other's land. ”

Zhu Di said, "Just this time, you are here, you can choose a place in Daming to establish your embassy, and in the future, your officials can visit Daming, and you can also live in your own embassy." ”

It was a good thing that he had almost forgotten about it, but he was more concerned about the affairs of Japan and asked, "I wonder what happened between your country and Japan?" I heard that warships of your country shelled the coastal areas of Japan? ”

A cold light flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and he smiled, "I heard that you were also deeply poisoned by the Japanese invaders, and I thought that the warships of the Ming Dynasty had taught the Japanese State a lesson, and you would take it for granted that justice should be served. ”

Shen Lie Zhaoping's face was red with shame, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and several powerful ministers of Zhenla also knelt down busily.

"Your Majesty the Venerable Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a minister. Last night, when we first arrived, we met the envoy of the Wa Kingdom, Shiami, and accidentally listened to his instigation, which caused us to have a misunderstanding of the great power of our Celestial Empire. ”

"We hate the Japanese invaders, and we are grateful that the Ming Dynasty can bring justice to our small countries." Shen Lie Zhaoping said, "This time, I waited to come and brought some meager gifts to His Majesty the Emperor, and asked His Majesty to give me the glory of waiting for this gift." ”

Zhu Di smiled and raised his hand again, "Flatten!" ”

He didn't talk about Shi Ami, but changed the subject, "My youngest son went to your country, and he wrote to say that your country gave him warm hospitality. I am a state of etiquette, advocating etiquette and exchanges, I plan to set up a banquet in Tongfu Building today to receive you from the wind, and I hope to appreciate the face! ”

Shenlie Zhaopingya was overjoyed, and thanked him tremblingly, Zhu Di took the tea, and Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stepped forward at the right time to ask Shenlie Zhaopingya and others to go out.

After the people left the main hall, Zhu Di got up from the dragon chair and instructed Huang Yan, "Throw away all the tea cups they have used, and wash the floor and chairs well." I've heard that they don't wear pants barbarians, and I don't know if their butts are cleaned? ”

Huang Yan suddenly wanted to vomit, he hurriedly shook his tail, and asked the little eunuchs to hurry up and do as instructed, and he himself accompanied Zhu Di back to the palace, "Your Majesty, when is this banquet arranged, and which adults should the slaves and maids invite to accompany them?" ”

"Go and talk to Tongfu on the building, and order them to set up a banquet according to the ancient rites, and see which adults are free, let them accompany them, I'm afraid that few people will have time to accompany a group of monkeys to eat."

The so-called observance of ancient rites refers to eating at separate tables.

Huang Yan knew that if it weren't for the purpose of giving His Royal Highness a long face, the emperor would probably have seen this group of monkeys and wouldn't bother to take care of them.

Being able to let the Ming Emperor set up a banquet for them to catch the wind and wash the dust, the monarchs and ministers of the Zhenla Kingdom were relieved, and when they returned to the guest house where they lived, the lord of the Zhenla Kingdom ordered, "Find a house as soon as possible to set up an embassy, we can't rent the house of the Ming Dynasty all the time." ”

Not to mention expensive, it is also very inconvenient.

"Yes!" He decided to go and find a house tomorrow.

He reminded, "My lord, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty said that they bombarded the Japanese because they had harassed them. ”

After seeing the Ming Emperor, Shen Lie Zhaopingya also calmed down, and he finally saw the majesty of the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire, which made people dare not look directly.

"Naturally, we want to believe the words of His Majesty the Great Emperor!" Unconsciously, Shen Lie Zhaopingya has changed his honorific title for Zhu Di to "His Majesty the Great Emperor".

In the palace, Zhu Di was overcoming his dislike of Zhenla Kingdom, and Song Li asked to see him.

"Come in!"

Because he had been in the same space as the lord of Zhenla Kingdom, Zhu Di had already bathed again, changed his clothes, he walked out of the inner hall, sat down in front of the south window of the second hall, and served a cup of tea.

After Song Li saluted, he said, "Your Majesty, the Zhenla Kingdom is here, and the minister thinks that the Zhenla Kingdom must be in a hurry to establish an embassy, and my Daming house is not suitable for their living habits, can the Ministry of Industry come forward to help them build an embassy that conforms to their own customs and style?" ”

Zhu Di wondered, "Is the Ministry of Industry so rich now?" ”

Song Li cried with a sad face, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is the poorest yamen, and the emperor doesn't know it." I heard that not long ago, the household department even gave an extra month's salary to those officials who were the most bitter and tired as a bonus. ”

Zhu Di knew about this matter, Xia Yuanji said that those people had been spinning for a whole year, and they had not rested halfway, so he asked for bonuses for these people.

The Ming Dynasty's current officials' salaries are no better than those during the Hongwu and Jianwen periods, not to mention that the annual salaries have tripled, and they have turned a corner, and one more month of the salaries is not a small amount.

"Don't suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness, the imperial court shouldn't be too harsh on people who work hard." Zhu Di said, "What is the Ministry of Industry going to do?" ”

"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"

"The Ministry of Industry plans to sign a contract with them to help them build an embassy, and naturally they will pay for it."

"I'm ready!"

Song Li breathed a sigh of relief, after thanking him, he was about to get busy, Zhu Di said, "Tonight, I plan to invite the lord of Zhenla and several important ministers to the Tongfu Restaurant, since you plan to do this, you might as well take the time to participate, there are many things to talk about at the banquet." ”

When Song Li heard this, he hurriedly said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

After he came out of the palace, he only went to the Ministry of Works.

To tell the truth, this job of building an embassy was not something he came up with, thanks to Xia Yuanji, when the two met today about the construction of a cement kiln along the coast, he said sourly that the household department would give bonuses to officials.
