After hearing the conditions proposed by Zhu Biao, the envoys of the Yoshida family were already numb at this time.

They really wanted to tell the truth and tell Zhu Biao that the Yoshida family actually didn't want to exterminate the Oda clan.

If they really get to the battlefield, I'm afraid they don't even have the courage to argue with each other.

But if these words were said at this time, they were worried that Zhu Biao would think that they were playing with him and the Ming court.

If this is the case, then I am afraid that they will most likely be taken away by Chu Ze.

All of a sudden, the entire imperial study hall fell into an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

However, what the envoys of the Yoshida family didn't know was that the three people who were watching them from the main hall had already known and guessed this in their hearts.

Moreover, in fact, this is the real reason why these people can still kneel here and talk to Zhu Biao so completely.

What Da Ming wants now is the weak.

Only the weak are easy to control, and only the weak will make compromises in order to survive.

Only when the weak launch an attack on the strong will the strong not have the slightest idea of escaping.

Through the Yoshida family, let the army of the Ming Dynasty enter the territory of the Wa Kingdom in another way, and then.

"Your Highness, I see that the day is almost at the end of the day. Or else."

When the atmosphere fell into a dull mood for a while, Chu Ze's voice suddenly sounded very inappropriately on the side.

And halfway through his words, he looked at the envoys of the Yoshida family who were kneeling on the ground with a smile.

"Which of you is coming with me? I'm going to cook you something to eat. Lest I be said that the Ming Dynasty is poor and inconsiderate? ”

"Don't, don't! Spare your life, spare your life."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let's be honest, our Yoshida family... In fact, we are just a small fishing village, and we don't have the strength to fight against the Oda clan at all! ”

"yes, yes! It's not that we don't want to take the guiding stone of Toucheng for Daming, we don't have that strength! ”

"We have only three small ships in the Yoshida family's escort ships, and there are only three hundred capable of fighting. We really don't have the power to provoke the Oda family."

When they heard that Chu Ze was going to cook food for them, the envoys of the Yoshida family, who were still thinking about countermeasures, immediately panicked.

If Chu Ze really wanted to prepare food for them, then how could he need their people to follow him!

And thinking of what Chu Ze told them when he came, if what they said today, Chu Ze was not satisfied.

Then they had to be ground into a puree with a stone mill and then boiled for them to replenish their bodies.

Who would dare to follow Chu Ze!

This is obviously a thing that there is no return.

Under the pressure of this great fear, where do they dare to continue to hide anything.

was originally a group of people who tried to fish in troubled waters, and where could they really resist coercion.

"I don't even know if I should call you ignorant or stupid."

"My Ming dynasty's national prestige has been provoked, and it is impossible to take revenge! The majesty of a country, if any cat or dog dares to provoke, then how will I stand in the future? ”

"And the ruined place of your Wa country, surrounded by the sea on all sides, is not a big place. In front of the vast and boundless territory of my Ming Dynasty, it is simply a barren land where birds don't. ”

"This kind of place, even if I send troops to capture it, it is of no value at all."

"But if we don't send troops, the majesty of our country will be damaged."

"So. If a dog is disobedient and bites its owner, then the most appropriate way for us to deal with it now is. Change to an obedient dog that won't bite its owner. You know what? ”

“.”

Looking at the envoys of the Yoshida family who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Chu Ze explained to them with a smile and thoughtfulness.

Of course, his diction is a little bit like that.

But at this time, how could the envoys of the Yoshida family still take care of these!

Because they had clearly heard the meaning of Chu Ze's words.

"What I want is national prestige! Since the Oda clan is unwilling to surrender. Then we don't mind changing someone who is willing to surrender. ”

"As for what you said, the strength of your Yoshida family. With Daming behind his back, do you still need you? Just go back and tell your lord that you will bow down to my Ming dynasty in the future, and be ready to pay tribute to my Ming envoys with the heads of the entire Oda clan. ”

"After that, it's just to pay tribute every year, and as for other things. We'll deal with it naturally. ”

"Go back and ask your master if he wants to be a powerful dog. Still want to make a dish. ”

"I have a vast territory in the Ming Dynasty, and I don't look down on your one-third of an acre of land. After helping your Yoshida family unify the entire territory of the Japanese Kingdom, my Daming Society will withdraw the entire army, and only set up a governor's mansion over there at that time. ”

"Other things, you can just handle them yourself."

"Are you sure you can convey this to you?"

Looking at Chu Ze, who was talking eloquently below, his tone couldn't help but carry a bit of arrogance and arrogance.

Zhu Biao, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly turned dark.

His expression was a little warm, and he suddenly reprimanded.

"Chu Ze, how do you speak? What a dog, a cat! If they are Yoshida family in the future, they are willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Then these people will be the founding ministers of my Ming vassal country in the future! ”

"These are likely to be your future colleagues, how can you insult your colleagues so casually!"

The envoys of the Yoshida family, who were still a little suspicious after hearing the big cake drawn by Chu Ze, couldn't help but light up in their eyes at this moment after hearing Zhu Biao's reprimand for Chu Ze.

When they came this time, their original intention was just to fish in the troubled waters of the Ming Dynasty and make some benefits.

However, things seem to be going far beyond their expectations.

Listening to the meaning of the words of the eldest prince of the Ming Dynasty, this is really wanting to support their Yoshida family as the future ruler of the Wa Kingdom!

If this is true. Wouldn't the Yoshida family have risen completely!

Especially when I think of what Zhu Biao said just now, they are all the founding ministers of the future Japanese Kingdom, and they are also important figures in establishing the bond between the two countries!

If that's the case, won't their own family be a real famous family in the future!

This flatbread is not fragrant now, but full!

"His Royal Highness the Great Ming Prince, I can complete this task, we can leave for the family to discuss with the patriarch immediately."

"Yes, yes, our Yoshida family can pay tribute this year! We can offer the youngest and most beautiful woman in the family as a tribute. My Yoshida family must be loyal! ”

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince of the Ming Dynasty~ If possible, we hope that the Ming Dynasty can send a guard army to settle in the Yoshida family first, and my Yoshida family's guard force is weak, in case it is attacked by the Oda clan. Even if the Yoshida family is destroyed, it is a trivial matter, lest it will delay the important matter of His Royal Highness the eldest prince! ”

"That's right! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can send a group of guards to return to the family with us and others, and station and explore the surrounding area first? We're not worried about the survival of the Yoshida family, we're just afraid of delaying the big events of your dynasty! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please."

After the entrance of the flatbread, the envoys of the Yoshida family became more and more anxious one by one.

Don't say anything, go back and ask the head of the family, if you really assign a group of guards to them and return to the Japanese country.

I don't know if the head of the Yoshida family will become one of them.

In a small village, there are less than 300 people to fight

At this scale, even if it is placed in the territory of the Wa Kingdom, it is indeed a small and somewhat pitiful village.

Faced with the people of such a small village, they were suddenly promised a throne.

If they weren't tempted, it would be really weird.

It's just that looking at the anxious people, Chu Ze smiled slightly and coughed.

Hearing Chu Ze's sudden coughing sound, the envoys of the Yoshida family, who were still a little interested, suddenly felt as if they had been poured a basin of cold water from head to end.

The flame in my heart was extinguished, and when it came to my mouth, I forcibly swallowed it back.

One by one, they looked a little flustered and secretly looked at Chu Ze.

In their opinion, this guy is much more scary than the prince or something.

After all, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty looks like a normal person.

"I mean, aren't you guys a little bit too late? My Ming sergeant followed you to the Wa Kingdom to help you defend your family? ”

"Humph! You're making a lot of calculations. If your Yoshida family can't even defend their own little territory, then what use do I want you to have? ”

"Chu Ze, don't be presumptuous, you give this prince a retreat! When it's your turn to decide! Roll"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is."

"Prince Ben said, let you go, didn't you hear?"

"Obey the order, the minister will get out"

In Zhu Biao's reprimand, Chu Ze withdrew from the imperial study with a look of 'sincere fear'.

And when Chu Ze left, the envoys of the Japanese kingdom suddenly felt a big mountain pressing on their hearts, as if someone had suddenly moved away.

That was a complete relaxation.

And the next conversation, after losing Chu Ze by his side, also became extraordinarily smooth.

Zhu Biao successively proposed the things that the Yoshida family needed to pay tribute every year after governing the Wa Kingdom, from mountain and sea delicacies, to rare treasures, to beauties and the like.

That's a whole bunch of sprinkled raisers.

And these envoys of the Yoshida family felt extremely heartbroken after hearing these things that needed to be tributed, but they also believed more and more what they had heard.

Da Ming despises the little bit of land where the birds don't poop.

It's just that in the spirit of promoting national prestige, it is just to make the Wa Kingdom a vassal.

And the reason why so much tribute is now demanded is mainly because his own envoys have been beheaded, and Daming is still angry.

In the future, if the Ming Dynasty supports them to take the entire Wa Kingdom.

Their Yoshida family is a new generation of royalty!

And it's also a royal family backed by the Ming Dynasty!

Even after paying these tributes, their lives will still be better than now, I don't know how many times they are now!

And after losing Chu Ze's 'obstruction', the Yoshida family also successfully got a thousand guards and three warships from Zhu Biao.

Moreover, they were given temporary command.

Of course, this command is still very limited.

However, after having this group of people, if the head of their Yoshida family really has any opinions.

They don't mind changing the head of the house, or trying to be the head of the house themselves.

This group of envoys only promised when they came, and when they left, it was called a spring breeze and proud.

And when this group of people left, Chu Ze, who had been reprimanded by Zhu Biao and rolled out of the imperial study, walked in from the side door with a fruit bowl.

And when he came to Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't forget to hand over the fruit plate in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this orange is quite sweet, will you have one?"

At this time, Chu Ze and the previous respectful, sometimes arrogant and domineering appearance can be said to be like two people.

If he looked like a powerful minister before, and he still looked like a traitor.

At this time, Chu Ze looked like a ruffian.

"Why do we think you're happier in our imperial study than in your own home?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had never said a word the whole time, looked at the fruit plate handed over by Chu Ze, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

But then, he reached out and took an orange from it, and then peeled it for himself.

And after Chu Ze saw this, he also smiled slightly.

"Actually, it's better to be at home in my own home. If you're here, I'll have to worry about you beating me up at any time. ”

"It's like we've beaten you a few times!"

"That's not the godmother to protect you. Otherwise, you will have to take two meals. ”

"It's good to know that your godmother is protecting you."

After fighting with Lao Zhu for a few words, Chu Ze came to Zhu Biao with a fruit plate.

placed the fruit bowl directly on the bookcase in the imperial study, and then raised his eyebrows at Zhu Biao with a smile.

"Biao, didn't you scold me just now? Can't get enough of it? That one rolling word, the thief has momentum! ”

Facing Chu Ze's somewhat ridiculous tone, Zhu Biao silently threw a roll of his eyes.

Homeopathically, he reached out and raised a middle finger.

"Get out of here!"

Although it is the same as before, it is all asking Chu Ze to get out.

But the same words, when Zhu Biao's mouth came out again, his feeling was 108,000 miles away.

And this time in the face of Zhu Biao's 'roll', Chu Ze just grabbed an orange and threw it directly.

"Eat your oranges, you."

"To be honest, it's so appropriate for you to sing blackface! Look at those guys that scared you. As soon as you leave, they don't talk well. ”

After catching the orange thrown by Chu Ze, Zhu Biao couldn't help but praise Chu Ze's previous performance.

And Zhu Yuanzhang on the side looked at Zhu Biao and Chu Ze who were laughing.

His eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of relief.

He was following this from beginning to end.

From Chu Ze to Honglu Temple, now the whole thing has come to an end.

He didn't get involved in the whole process, he just wanted to see how Zhu Biao and Chu Ze cooperated and what the tacit understanding was.

And, can they handle this matter on their own?

Obviously, he was very satisfied.
