"This is the prosperous age!"

On the Chengtian Gate, the Queen Mother hugged Her Majesty the Empress and sighed.

The latter is already a crown shape.

Although the empress is actually not yet one year old, since she can already be held out, she still has to wear a dress as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Miniature version!

Miniature version of the 12 tiaras.

A miniature version of the 12-chapter robe.

But it's cute to look at.

At this moment, the theoretical master of the Ming Dynasty is looking at the outside in ignorance, the royal street outside has already been renovated, and the thousand-step corridor has simply been demolished, although Zhu Yuanzhang has regarded it as a commercial street in the later period, showing the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty to the messenger of tribute, but in fact, who will shop in this kind of place on weekdays? The imperial city was originally on one side, and there were no residential areas around, all of them were official offices, who would run for miles to pass through a bunch of official offices and then go to the thousand-step corridor in order to shop?

On a series of commercial streets in the treasure gate, what goods can't be bought?

You don't need to go to the thousand-step corridor at all.

In that case, then there is little use here.

Paying tribute to show the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty?

No need!

It is enough for them to kneel down to the grace of heaven.

Besides, they don't need to go to the Royal Street, and it is enough to see the prosperity of the capital city.

In the end, by wishing the queen mother her birthday, the little princess gave an order to dismantle the thousand-step corridor, and the entire Chengtianmen to Hongwu Gate completely became a huge square surrounded by a city wall, and the middle royal road was also paved with asphalt, and then the floor tiles were paved on both sides, and the city wall was full of lanterns, and the square was full of flower pots.

And at this moment in this huge square, there is a team of people to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday.

O tribute!

This is the birthday of the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty.

The whole country has to pay tribute to celebrate the birthday, even those vassal members.

Actually, it's mainly those vassals.

The kings of all the vassals, the envoys who commanded the envoys, the envoys who commanded the envoys, and the envoys who comforted the envoys, all had to pay tribute, even if the distance was far away, and the country really did not have time to come, and those who were in the capital should also prepare congratulatory gifts.

This is the time to show their filial piety to the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty.

"King Ganren, I wish the Queen Mother a long life, and offer a golden Buddha!"

Immediately after that, the Ministry of Rites official below shouted.

Then in the square, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were wearing a Ming Dynasty surname county king uniform, the original Emperor Komatsu, the current Ming Dynasty King Ganren, in addition to the capital Cijian Xiangrui Temple host, is very skilled at the Chengtian Gate five bows and three knocks. He has often done this kind of work over the years, after all, he has moved to the capital for four years, and Lao Zhu can't support him in vain.

As for his foreign surname Junwang suit......

In fact, it is a python robe.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty did not have a living foreign surname county king.

The vassal king has the same rank as the county king, but after all, they can't give them the real county king, the dress is nothing, after all, the seven crowns are the county kings, and they are rarely really worn, and they are all worn when participating in the sacrifice to the sky, succession, and the emperor's funeral. But in ordinary clothes, the county king is the same as the dragon robe, so this kind of foreign surname county king, you can only use the python robe to fool them, anyway, it looks similar.

Behind Ganren, a carriage carried a golden Buddha statue.

Not too.

But it's heavy.

Because it takes four horses to pull it.

And the spring plates of the entire carriage were almost flattened.

Of course, this is not Ganren's own work.

He was on behalf of the Wa Kingdom.

In fact, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looted the gold in the territory to cast this one-ton golden Buddha, and then Ganren was responsible for offering it to thank the Ming court for sending troops to help them suppress part of the rebellion. In fact, some of the remnants of the original Japanese Southern Dynasty were dissatisfied with the people's dissatisfaction with the people's dissatisfaction with the material resources of the Japanese Kingdom and the favor of the Ming Dynasty.

And on a large scale.

After all, it has been really hard for the bottom of the country to live in recent years.

Especially the low-level samurai.

Because of the Ming Dynasty, the Ashikaga family, and those daimyo are no longer at war, in fact, they have all begun to become the king of India, and the internal government affairs of several daimyo in the southwest have even begun to be controlled by the Ming merchants who used to do business. The latter relied on commerce to knock the bones and suck the marrow of the bottom, and then ensure that the daimyo was drunk and dreamed of death, but in this way, the low-level samurai became more and more difficult, and even those who did not have enough to eat were common. Under these circumstances, there were remnants of the Southern Dynasty instigated, and naturally a wave of rebellion was soon formed, and Kyoto was surrounded for a time, of course, at this time it had been renamed Heian Castle. Under the banner of honoring Emperor Kameyama of the Southern Dynasty, they quickly gained the support of low-level samurai who could not eat in various places, and then shouted the slogan of respecting the emperor and tried to overthrow Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and expel the Akiko to fight for the independence of the Wa Kingdom.

The battle led to the collapse of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's subordinates.

But at the most critical moment of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the big soldiers were gone.

Qi Bin, the commander of Fuso, learned the news and landed in Osaka with 5,000 troops by sea as quickly as possible.

Then, with rapid-fire guns and platoon guns, they crushed the rebels who tried to fight to the death.

The latter has no firearms.

It's nothing more than a cold weapon.

It's very brave.

But in the face of bullets and shells, these are of no use after all.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu almost cried and knelt to welcome the Great Tomorrow soldiers into Heianjo City, and then relied on the heavenly soldiers to suppress it, he quickly crushed the remnants of the rebels, and brutally purged the latter, I don't know how many were killed, anyway, the price of Japanese slaves plummeted during this time, and there were many Japanese slaves sold cheaply everywhere, and even Zhu Di bought a lot.

This counterinsurgency battle almost completely broke the last remaining backbone of the Japanese state.

Now they're all Daming's dogs.

This golden Buddha is made of gold by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and daimyo from all over the world.

"The king of the Japanese has a heart, take it, it's hard for them to have a heart."

The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Queen Mother, do you want to give them something to reward?"

The princess said.

"What does my aunt mean?"

The Queen Mother said.

"This word is not good after all, it is better to give them a new country name, they also call it Japan, but the source of this name is too wild, and it is not appropriate, but it can also be called Dongying, which is in the east, Ying is an island, simply give the name Dongying, thinking that it is its country name."

The little princess said busily.

"Then according to my aunt, pass the decree, give the country name Dongying, change the king of the country to the king of Dongying, Yingzhou is a fairy mountain on the sea, may the people of Dongying Mu Daming Holy Grace, like living in the fairy mountain, generation of peace."

The Queen Mother said.

Immediately after the Empress Dowager's decree was issued.

Dongying Wang Ganren hurriedly bowed five times and knocked on the mountain again and shouted long live.

In this way, Japan, the Wa Kingdom and other things were all kicked into the garbage heap of history, and the Dongying Kingdom, which belonged to the Ming Dynasty, was officially born, and it has been a permanent name since then, just like Korea. However, the name of this country is still very good, after all, Yingzhou is a fairy mountain on the sea, and the people of Dongying live in the fairy mountain on the sea, what is there to be dissatisfied with, they are blessed, they can be under the grace of the Ming Emperor, and from then on they will be as happy as living in the fairy mountain on the sea.

During the bow of King Dongying, the one-ton golden Buddha was transported to the imperial palace.

As for the next one, of course, it is Gao Chang.

North Korea has already bowed.

In the ranking of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea has always been the first, and at any time this kind of ceremonial occasion of group worship is the first in North Korea.

Old glorious.

At this time, Li Sung-gye was still very happy as the king of Joseon......

Of course, it's a bit heavier.

But no matter how heavy the burden is, it is also borne by the people at the bottom, and he does not delay the singing and dancing, as long as his loyalty to the Ming Emperor remains unchanged, the dissatisfaction of the people at the bottom is not worth mentioning, and no matter how dissatisfied they are, do they dare to rebel? Even if you dare to rebel, can you still withstand the great soldiers?

I have heavenly soldiers to help me, who am I afraid of?

His current mentality is similar to that of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, that is, to measure the material resources of North Korea and the favor of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a shame.

But it works!

And King Gaochang is in third place.

"Messenger, I heard that Gaochang is a Buddha country, and it has been a place where the light of Buddha shines since ancient times, I don't know if it's true or not?"

The Queen Mother asked.

She really doesn't have ulterior motives.

How did she know what was going on in Gaochang, but she read the history books, Gaochang is indeed from the ancient Buddha country, she still read this, and now she suddenly saw a Gaochang envoy, of course, she asked out of curiosity.

The messenger lay there awkwardly......

"Emissary?"

The Queen Mother said good-naturedly.

"Messenger, what did the Queen Mother ask you? It is disrespectful not to answer! ”

The Ministry of Rites official shouted.

Gao Changgong immediately sobered up.

"Back to the Queen Mother, our feudal clan is indeed worshipping the Buddha."

He said.

"In this way, we will give them a temple to build and invite some masters from our interior to study the Dharma with the monks from them, and if they have any monks there, they can also invite them."

The Queen Mother said to her aunt.

"It's the best."

The little princess said.

So the Empress Dowager immediately issued a decree to build a temple in Gaochang State, and selected twenty monks from the mainland to go, and by the way gave some scriptures, and then Zhu Yongzhong, the king of Gaochang, or the original envoy of the Eastern Chagatai Khan Nahei, after thanking him, held the Buddhist scriptures with an embarrassed face, and the carriage next to them drove into the palace with the gems they paid tribute.

However, the envoy is already very sensible, and besides, Gaochang does have a temple now.

Zhu Dixiu's.

He had already said that he would build a temple in Gaochang.

In addition, the Ming army also repaired, and there was also Gao Changwei of the Ming Dynasty, but the Acropolis was not in Gaochang City, but the temple of Buddhism in the Ming army was also very reasonable.

In short, the current Gaochang is not a thing of the past......

Well, they used to be all over the temple.

The current King of Gaochang has been completely locked in the middle by the military power of the Ming Dynasty, to the west is the King of Yan, to the north is the Wara who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, to the east is the King of Hami who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and to the south is the garrison of the Ming Dynasty. The latter has been renamed Yanqi, although it belongs to the king of Gaochang, but because the East Chagatai department suffered a lot of casualties in the last western expedition, and was taken away by his uncle Ma Hama A large number of people in Shule, with that little strength left, he can still be the king of Gaochang, and it is only the grace of the Ming Emperor. His strength can't control the re-Buddhist cities of Yanqi and Huozhou Shanshan at all, and all he can do now is to do everything he can to please the Ming Dynasty to keep him from being destroyed by these cities.

Then there is the Ryukyus, but the Ryukyus have been having a hard time lately.

Because the trade in the South Seas is over.

Guangdong maritime merchants will not allow others to go to Nanyang to share their own business.

Ryukyu can only do the northern.

That is, the goods were picked up from the hands of Guangdong merchants and then sold to the north, such as the coastal cities of the Ming Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom and North Korea, but the former had Fujian maritime merchants doing it, and the latter had its own maritime merchants.

In this case, they can only imagine that the Ming Emperor will one day be able to regain Guangzhou.

Then they can regain their old happiness.

However......

"A bunch of idiots!"

The little princess looked at the Ryukyu envoy with disdain.

"I can't say that, they are still useful, it is still okay to be a supply port in the future, didn't Zheng He go to them first last time? After all, they are on the Kuroshio route. ”

Yang Feng said.

The Ryukyus are still valuable.

They are still useful now, and it is better for them to return to the Americas in the future, because the Kuroshio current is always there, and the most seasonal strength is strong, but no matter how strong or weak it is, it is enough to serve as a sea highway, and get rid of the wind direction to the greatest extent. After all, the most favorable season for sailing from Luzon to the mainland is also the season when typhoons are rampant, so you have to avoid typhoons if you want to be safe, but that is also the season when the north wind prevails. From the Kuroshio route, it can go directly to the Ryukyus, Wakoku, Korea, and then take advantage of the north wind to reach any city on the eastern seaboard, which is a good trading post.

So a little bit of a small country, just a little bone gnawing is very satisfying.

After the Ryukyus came Timur.

King Kangju of the Ming Dynasty, temperate the river, the green ridge, and the three capitals of Persia, Tiemuer......

This is the official name.

Anyway, sooner or later he is going to betray the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to give him the surname Zhu, his name is Timur, but this is not official, so simply change the word and become Tie Mu Er, even if his surname is Tie. As for his tribute, he was still very filial, horses, jewelry, and even a lion, presumably captured from India, and during this time he was mainly beating the Sultan of Delhi.

"King Kangju has a heart, this thing is a bit powerful."

The Queen Mother said obviously with little interest.

"Queen Mother, before the Delhi Sultan played, King Kangju led an army to invade his country, and asked Daming to be the master of it."

The little princess said.

"Who is this Delhi Sultan?"

The Queen Mother said suspiciously.

"Well, I don't know, but Emperor Taizu Gao paid tribute to nearly a thousand horses, which is considered to be respectful, as for King Kangju's invasion of other countries, he wants to come to neighborhood, it is estimated that there are some grudges, most of these states are like this, and they have always been fighting and killing.

Barbarian!

Savage! ”

The little princess said.

"In this case, let King Kangju be more generous, he is a vassal of our Ming Dynasty, and the Sultan of Delhi is also a small chieftain if he wants to come, he bullies the small with the big, and it doesn't look good to say, since they are all our Ming vassals, we still have to get along in harmony after all."

The Queen Mother said lightly.

Although she didn't like lions, she didn't like Timur's gems, on the one hand, she had just sent her a bunch of gems, and on the other hand, she didn't give her any gifts at all, and even heard her name for the first time, and she didn't even know where it was. But it's not good if you don't show a stance about this kind of thing, after all, the Delhi Sultan has paid tribute, so just say a few words, as for Timur beating the Delhi Sultan, just like the little princess said, it's all barbarians, barbarism, and it's not normal to kill each other?
