In the second half of the twelfth year of Hongwu, decisions were made on one major event after another and announced nationwide.
Government organizations at all levels and revival organizations are making various preparations nervously to welcome the arrival of a new era.
While great changes were taking place within the Ming Dynasty, these news inevitably spread to the outside world and became known to the outside world.
Of course, it is impossible for the outside world that no longer exists to sell these things directly and react in any way, such as Korea and South Vietnam.
Goryeo is now called a kingdom, but it is actually an area actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Opponents are being constantly eliminated and are completely suppressed by the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the Li Dynasty of South Vietnam, it has now completely become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, that is, directly under the jurisdiction of Annanzhong, contributing tax revenue and grain reserves to the Ming Dynasty, and becoming an important fulcrum for the Ming Dynasty in operating Southeast Asia.
But the Ming Dynasty did not have other vassal states.
Not to mention anything else, Dali is still there, King Duan and the powerful Gao family are still there.
Although there is a revolutionary force preparing to overthrow Zou Yana's rule in the Champa Kingdom ruled by Zou Yana, Zou Yana is still the legal ruler recognized by the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, in the Western Regions, the Ming Dynasty also had two vassal states, the Khwarezm Kingdom and the Western Karakhan Kingdom.
They are all countries whose own interests are highly bound to the Ming Dynasty. The changes that occurred within the Ming Dynasty cannot help but affect them, especially the Kingdom of Khwarezm and the Kingdom of Western Karakhan, which relied almost entirely on the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty to gain a foothold in the Western Regions. .
Without the support of Ming's national prestige and military power, these two countries would probably be annexed by the ascendant Gur Dynasty soon and lose everything.
Facing the powerful Angkor Dynasty, Zou Yana could not do without the help of Ming Dynasty. Without the help of Ming Dynasty, he would not dare to rashly launch a war against the Angkor Dynasty, even if the other side is now very unstable internally.
Among the four vassal states, Dali is relatively stable. The Buddhist King Duan and the powerful Gao family have reached a wonderful balance, and the country's political affairs are relatively stable.
Except for the Ming Dynasty, which was an overly large suzerainty, none of the countries in the other directions were enough to threaten them, or it could be said that it was the Dali Kingdom that was threatening them.
And Dali is not worried about the threat from Ming Dynasty to them.
Because the Dali Kingdom has actually given up resistance, or in other words, the powerful Gao family has given up resistance and allowed the Ming Dynasty to come and go.
The Gao family's powerful ministers family had already reached a consensus. Under the deterrent of the Ming Dynasty's overly powerful military power, they came up with the idea that "the ministers of any family are ministers" and had no intention of resisting the Ming Dynasty's economic penetration of Dali.

He even actively cooperated with the Ming Dynasty national team to control Dali's economic lifeline.
Behind King Duan's back, they allowed the Ming Dynasty national team to enter Dali to operate mines and smelting plants, and welcomed Ming Dynasty to set up various factories in Dali.
Not only that, they also opened the border gates of Dali, exempted Ming goods from entry duties, and allowed the Ming national team to use the strong collective economic strength of the Sichuan-Sichuan region to dump low-price and high-quality rice, cloth, silk, and pottery to Dali. Wait for the product.
From the second half of the 10th year of Hongwu to the middle of the 12th year of Hongwu, in almost two years, Ming products fully invaded Dali and swept through the Dali domestic market with their powerful collective capital capabilities.
Compared with the strong economic strength of the Ming Dynasty, both public and private capital in Dali were very weak.
With the cooperation of the Gao family, a considerable part of Dali's official capital gave up resistance and even actively integrated into the Ming Dynasty's economic system. The weak private capital soon surrendered.
In these years, Ming merchants and shops sprung up in Dali City, the capital of Dali, selling a wide variety of products.
In contrast, there are fewer and fewer domestic shops in Dali.
In response to this, the forces in Dali who were dissatisfied with the Gao family's powerful ministers were very mad. They threatened the Gao family several times to rebel and asked the Gao family not to go too far.
However, relying on the strong strength of the Ming Dynasty as a backing, the Gao family was confident and told them that they must either surrender or die.
The conflict between the local faction and the Gao family in Dali is becoming more and more intensified, and the interests of the two parties are becoming increasingly irreconcilable. If the Ming Dynasty had not been suppressing it, the rebellion in their country would have broken out irrepressibly.
Despite this, the intelligence detected by the Skynet Army shows that many local powerful forces in Dali have gradually become unable to tolerate the "reverse behavior" of the Gao family, and they have developed strong resentment.
There is even intelligence showing that some local powerful factions are colluding with each other, with the idea of supporting Emperor Duan, attacking the Gao family, and regaining the real power of the Dali Kingdom.
These things were reported to the Gao family by the Skynet Army. The Gao family was a little nervous about this and made secret preparations.
A civil war seemed inevitable.
In this context, the Gao family was planning to fight for greater wealth and honor for the Ming Dynasty as a loyal dog of the Ming Dynasty. Suddenly, news came that the Ming Dynasty emperor was about to abdicate, which immediately put the Gao family into a panic. Tender.
They were very panicked and quickly sent people to inquire about the news from Sichuan. They were also planning to personally send people to Zhongdu to meet with Su Yonglin to make this matter clear.
what happened?
Could it be that there was a coup within the Ming Dynasty?
Not only Dali, but the other three countries were also shocked and frightened.
However, after what happened in Shandong, Su Yonglin anticipated the reaction of the vassal states in advance, so he sent people to communicate with them in advance and told them "inside information."
Don't worry, I, Su Yonglin, am still the supreme leader of the Ming Dynasty and still hold the main power of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that I decided to implement a new political system and distribute power to more people to share the pressure for me, and I don't like the title of emperor, so I want to change my name, that's all.
Don't worry about what will happen in the Ming Dynasty in the future. Anyway, you just need to know that I, Su Yonglin, am still the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty. There will be no change in Ming Dynasty's policy towards you.
With the information from the special envoy sent by Su Yonglin, the four major vassals felt somewhat relaxed.
But they still couldn't understand why Su Yonglin didn't like the title of emperor and wanted to take the initiative to decentralize power.
The emperor of China is at the center of the world and controls the four poles of the world. This is the rule of the game of the tributary system that has been created by the Central Plains dynasties since ancient times. The most important point among them is the "Emperor of China".
Within the scope of the Central Plains dynasty's national power, everyone was the nominal minister of the Emperor of China, and the Emperor of China was also the nominal monarch of everyone. Only the Emperor of China could be called the emperor.
Although each vassal family wanted to be the emperor in their hearts and called them emperor internally, when facing the Central Plains Dynasty, they still had to be reluctant to call themselves "subordinate".
How much face is this?
Why doesn't Su Yonglin want it?
The Gao family couldn't figure it out.
Zou Yana couldn’t figure it out.
Mas'ud couldn't figure it out either.
Huta couldn't figure it out even more.
They tried their best to get more power and tried every means to cause trouble, but why was Su Yonglin so generous?
Is he serious about not being an emperor?
The dictators began to beat drums in their hearts, and began to worry that Su Yonglin himself was about to give up his role as a dictator. Then, would their existence as vassal states of the Ming Dynasty be affected by this, and lose their values more important than life? What about the power?
They will not understand Su Yonglin.
Of course, they don't need to understand, because they also have revival organizations in their country. Once the organization gets a firm foothold and develops, it will be the end of their lives.
At that time, a new political power will appear on the ancient land and bring new vitality to the ancient land.
