Good guy, the country of etiquette has spoken out.
If you dare to call yourself a country of etiquette now, what you will do in the future is unimaginable!
These vassal states around the Central Plains are also really interesting. One or two of them don't look so filial, nor are they filial sons. Instead, they all look like rebellious people. Whenever there is any trouble in the Central Plains, they can't wait to call themselves China and a land of etiquette.
Does it make sense to them?
Don't they think about whether they can really bear this title based on their size?
Can they withstand the thunderous wrath of Ming Dynasty?
Liao Xingye felt incredible, and his face was full of ridicule.
"The State of Etiquette? Did I hear you correctly? The State of Etiquette has always been the self-proclaimed name of the Chinese dynasty. The Jin and Song dynasties have all been destroyed, but the Ming Dynasty is still there. When did the State of Etiquette gain access to you?"
It's okay not to say this. As soon as he said this, Su Xiancheng's face was full of sneers and ridicule.
"Whoever betrays the last wishes of his ancestors and denies the achievements of the saints and does such a thing can still have the dignity to claim to be from a land of etiquette? Where are the etiquette? Where are the rituals? Why can't I see it at all? ?”
The words were not too explicit, but the meaning was fully expressed.
South Vietnam knew what the Ming Dynasty was doing, what the Ming Dynasty was criticizing, how the Ming Dynasty criticized and denied Confucianism, and how the Ming Dynasty liquidated the Kong family.
Therefore, they are not on the same page as the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Yixian took the lead and laughed, and then all the bureaucrats in the South Vietnamese court laughed, and Li Tianzuo also laughed. The air inside and outside the court was suddenly filled with joy.
In response to his offensive words and the ridicule of the South Vietnamese court, Liao Xingye's face turned cold, and then a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Although the Southern Song Dynasty was corrupt, degenerate, and sinful, they never recognized the existence of the so-called South Vietnam Kingdom. The land of South Vietnam has always been Chinese territory, and there is no such thing as the South Vietnam Kingdom! King Nanping is just a prince, how dare he call himself the emperor?
Of course, the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. It pays great attention to etiquette. Even the army pays great attention to etiquette. Every soldier pays great attention to etiquette. If the South Vietnamese country wants to see it, the Ming Dynasty will do everything. It will let the army come to Thang Long City to show you Show the style of a country of etiquette! "
Hey guys, is this a declaration of war?
Everyone in the Nanyue court fell silent, and an unnatural look appeared on everyone's face.
Of course they knew that there was no problem for the Ming envoy to say this from the perspective of the Central Plains Dynasty, because this was indeed a real problem.
However, the Li Dynasty of South Vietnam was also a de facto independent dynasty. The Central Plains Dynasty had not governed South Vietnam for hundreds of years, and South Vietnam had long been de facto independent.
Now that Mingguo has come over and said this, is it planning to start a war against the Li Dynasty at this time?
Su Xiancheng was shocked and took a deep breath.
"As an envoy, you should be responsible for your words. I think you should be clear about what you can and cannot say."
"Yes, of course I know it clearly. This is what I want to say. This is what the Emperor of Ming Dynasty wants to say. I have completely said it."
Liao Xingye said loudly: "I have finished everything the Emperor of Ming Dynasty wanted to say. If you don't understand, I can repeat it again. If you all understand, then I won't say it anymore and I will go back to resume my life. Everyone, do you have anything else to say?”
Liao Xingye looked directly at Li Tianzuo, the "Emperor" of South Vietnam who was sitting at the head.
Li Tianzuo's face was very ugly.
What Liao Xingye said about not recognizing South Vietnam as an independent country has always made successive emperors of the Li family of South Vietnam very unhappy.
It's not like they didn't ask for it from the Southern Song Dynasty, but the Southern Song Dynasty didn't relent and didn't admit it. So much so that the Ming Dynasty can still use this matter to threaten South Vietnam and even say that South Vietnam is Chinese territory.
By saying this, do they really intend to launch a war to destroy the country?
Li Tianzuo was not sure, and he didn't dare to be sure.
But in the final analysis, he had already made a decision, and his answer was the actual decision. Liao Xingye's final question somewhat made him rethink the issue. After thinking about it, he felt that he should not change his original view.
My home court, listen to me, who do you think you are?
The Battle of Lingnan was about to start again. Does Su Yonglin want to be Zhao Guangyi's second?
Even if your army is strong, how do you solve the three major problems of acclimatization, difficult logistics, and unstable rear areas?
If you can't solve it, I'll deal with you with twice the result with half the effort!
Li Tianzuo didn't really think that he would suffer any losses if he fought on his home ground. Even if a fight did break out, his army and his general would not let him down.
And if he can rely on such a battle to force Emperor Ming to recognize South Vietnam as an independent country and do what his ancestors have failed to do, why shouldn't his prestige continue to rise?
With inexplicable excitement, Li Tianzuo insisted on his opinion.
"Since the envoy said this, I also want to tell the envoy that the Emperor of Dayue, Li Tianzuo, has nothing to say to the Emperor of Ming! Dayue will handle the affairs of Dayue by itself, so I won't bother His Majesty the Emperor of Ming!"
Li Tianzuo shouted such a sentence righteously in the court, which really made the bureaucrats in the court feel angry.
They really wanted to say this to the arrogant Central Plains Dynasty a long time ago, but they never dared to do so. They were always worried about causing war.
Today, everything seems to be irreversible. Since it is irreversible, then let's express our attitude openly and openly, so that the arrogant Central Plains Dynasty can truly realize their failure.
So, they finally said this.
So Liao Xingye sneered.
"So, I understand. I will make it clear to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty King Nanping's reply. As for what will happen next, I don't know, but all the consequences may need to be borne by King Nanping and these civil and military officials."
After saying that, Liao Xingye turned around and left, taking the members of the mission back north that afternoon without encountering any obstacles along the way.
After returning to Dananguan, Liao Xingye reported the situation to Zhao Yucheng, and then rode towards Guangzhou with Zhao Yucheng's instructions.
On the seventh day of February in the ninth year of Hongwu, Liao Xingye arrived in Guangzhou and learned that Su Yonglin was personally leading the land reform movement in Huizhou at this time and was causing a lot of excitement in the local area. He quickly rode to Huizhou to find Su Yonglin.
It was already February 11th when he met Su Yonglin. At that time, Su Yonglin was leading the peasant movement in Haifeng County, Huizhou. The farmers he led rose up against the local landlords, tried the local landlords publicly, divided the land, established farmers' associations, and ushered in a new era.
Liao Xingye saw with his own eyes Su Yonglin, wearing a coarse shorts, standing on a high platform and shouting loudly to hundreds of farmers below.
"They say they have no surplus grain? Then why are they all rosy-cheeked, fat-headed and big-eared? It's really outrageous that people with no surplus grain at home can raise their sons to be so obese! A 28/20 share of the agricultural harvest is simply outrageous. !
You have worked tirelessly all year long, and only 20% of everything you have earned can be obtained. But they do nothing, enjoy the fruits of their labor, and stand high, but they can get 80% of it! Is it natural that they have taken away most of your hard-earned gains? "
Su Yonglin gave a loud speech on the stage. The faces of the underground farmers turned red and their emotions were intense. Everyone clenched their fists and stared at the Gao family, a famous local landlord family, who was tied up and kneeling on the high platform.
