The Ming Dynasty was prosperous, and various countries came to court.
As early as the end of December, envoys from various countries arrived in the capital one after another to congratulate the country on its prosperity and good weather in the coming year. Receptions at the end of the year are often festive. In most cases, except for mourning, there are no unpleasant matters involved.
The envoys from various countries also understand this truth. At the end of the year, they should put everything aside and don't cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty. What's more, the Ming Dynasty suffered a cold disaster this year. If it adds trouble to Zhu Yunwen, it will be easy to risk oneself. Simply put everything aside Said after the new year.
The National Day of the Ming Dynasty was over, the fireworks for the Lantern Festival were also set off, and the imperial government offices were open for business. Zhu Yunwen once again summoned foreign envoys, first to discuss specific matters, and second to give rewards. Those who should go back could prepare to go back.
This banquet was still held in Fengtian Hall, with Xie Jin, Mei Yin, Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and others accompanying them.
There were many envoys, fifty or sixty of them, such as Zheng Jin and Li Guiling, envoys from Korea, Sun Tzu Bu and Ye Jia Sengyuan, envoys from the city, Xia Wang, Huang Kesun and Huang Wanghai, envoys from Bo Ni, and Siam envoys. Wu Lan, the envoy of Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom Sanwu Liangqian (wei), the envoy of Oara suddenly stopped...

The officials of Guanglu Temple brought meals and wine, and the cultural troupe presented dance and music, which was very harmonious.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the congratulatory envoys with a smile in his eyes. He had to say that it was indeed a very enjoyable thing for someone to come to the Ming Dynasty from thousands of miles away to congratulate him and bow his head as a minister. This honor and Greatness belongs to the entire Ming Dynasty.
"I am very relieved that all the envoys have come to the capital to congratulate me. I am about to go on a long journey. If you have anything to say, please tell me today."
Zhu Yunwen said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a cry from underneath, wuwu, it wasn't just one person, it was several people...
This scene made Zhu Yunwen, Xie Jin and others look dumbfounded.
Sanwu Liangqian wiped the corners of his eyes, his sleeves were not wet, and secretly glanced at the Wala envoy Ye Huzhi and the Siamese envoy Wu Lan beside him. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. I cried because someone in the family died. What does it mean for you to cry? thing?
Wow!
A loud cry passed through the hall, covering up other voices. The other envoys stopped boasting, but they could not defeat this one. They all looked up at the North Korean envoys Zheng Jin and Li Guiling.
"My envoys, why are you crying and so sad? You might as well tell me directly."
Zhu Yunwen stopped his smile and frowned. The first lunar month has not yet passed, and you are crying and crying at me. Isn't this unlucky?
Just as the envoys Zheng Jin and Li Guiling of North Korea wanted to stand up, Sanwu Liangqian got up first and shouted: "Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, the foreign ministers are here to report."
Zheng Jin and Li Guiling looked at Sanwu Liangqian angrily. They had already stolen the scene, so why did you still steal the lines?
Sanwu Liangqian doesn't care about the envoys of North Korea. Your Li Fangyuan is not dead, and he won't die if we wait. Our Zhongshan Wang Chadu has died. When we come to Daming, first of all, we will report the funeral, and secondly, Congratulations to Daming, what are you anxious about...
"Foreign ministers reported to the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty years ago that the King of Zhongshan died in October last year, and the Crown Prince Wu Ning sent ministers to report his funeral. After today's ceremony, I will return to the Kingdom of Zhongshan and invite the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty to confer the Crown Prince Wu Ning as the King of Zhongshan. .”
Sanwu Liangqian came out to report, not daring to forget his mission.
Zhu Yunwen knew this. The Ministry of Rites reported it to them years ago, but he was busy with disaster relief and had no time to pay attention to them. Now that he is leaving, he still has to give the canonization document. As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, there is no canonization from the suzerain country. Even if he is not a real king, Wu Ning cannot always govern Zhongshan Kingdom in the name of the crown prince.
"I have learned about this matter. The cabinet and the Ministry of Rites have made preparations. When the envoy returns, the Ministry of Rites will arrange for officials to accompany him to Zhongshan Kingdom to pay homage to King Chadu and canonize the crown prince Wu Ning as the new King of Zhongshan."
Zhu Yunwen said a few words of relief.
Sanwu Liangqian quickly thanked him and said: "The southeastern coast has been brought to peace, and the entire Ming Dynasty has become a navy. The foreign ministers have replaced the Zhongshan Kingdom and thanked the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. I wish the emperor a long life and may the Ming Dynasty prosper forever."
Zhu Yunwen smiled indifferently. There was a reason why Sanwu Liangqian said such things.
After the Ming Dynasty imposed a sea ban, there were many pirates who robbed families and homes at sea. Although there were no large-scale pirate groups like Chen Zuyi, there were still those who dared to rob one or two ships. There were naval ships passing by from time to time on the main routes. In addition, some merchant ships themselves hired some bodyguards to escort them, so there were no major problems.
But things happen again and again, and it's also a problem to be always on tenterhooks. But this problem has not appeared since October. The reason is that Zheng He’s fleet sailed to Nanyang...
You must know that the scale of Zheng He's naval expedition to Nanyang was unprecedentedly large, and his troops even occupied all the main naval forces of the Ming Dynasty. The treasure ships and main forces accumulated over the years followed him southward, in a mighty and mighty way, which almost had the power to destroy the country.
On his way south, Zheng He took so many sergeants and so many warships with him. Naturally, he didn't want to go all the way in vain. Wherever he passed, the pirates were frightened and ran away with their sails full. The appearance made one doubt whether they were pirates. Just like this, many people were chased by Zheng He's fleet and crushed directly to the bottom of the sea.
Along the southeastern coast and above the Southern Ocean, all pirates disappeared almost overnight.
I guess the pirates are also aggrieved. They just robbed a few merchants without killing anyone or robbing anyone. As for using such a huge naval force to attack us?
Now that the sea is clear, the country of Zhongshan in Ryukyu is naturally comfortable, so I can’t help but say a few words of thanks.
Sanwu Liangqian achieved his goal and stood up to return to his seat.
Just as the North Korean envoy thought about it, the Siamese envoy Wu Lan ran out again: "Your Majesty, the Holy Emperor of China, please make the decision for us."
Zhu Yunwen frowned, not understanding what grievance Siam could cry about.
Wu Lan explained the reason for crying: "Babai Dadian invaded our country ferociously, which is really abominable. In view of Babai Dadian's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, we did not dare to send troops, and now we have repeatedly retreated. Please give us a Explain."
Zhu Yunwen frowned and looked at Tie Xuan. Hasn't Mu Sheng's decision to send troops been finalized? The imperial edict has been spread. Why didn't he tell the envoys? Tie Xuan spread his hands helplessly, saying that he didn't know, they didn't ask, so he didn't tell...
Yes, this matter can be easily solved. After your envoys return, it is estimated that the eight hundred daughters-in-law in the eight hundred dadians will already belong to the Ming Dynasty.
When Wulan envoy heard this, he immediately beamed with joy.
The Wala envoy suddenly ran out before Wu Lan returned to his position: "The Holy Emperor must uphold justice for us Wala."
The corners of Zhu Yunzhen's mouth trembled a little. It is understandable that the vassal state asked Daming to uphold justice. Since when did you, Wala, become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty? Mahamu's request for sealing is just a dormant method. The Ming Dynasty wants to give you justice, Mahamu will give way. ?
"Please ask the envoy to elaborate."
Zhu Yunwen raised his hand slightly.
Yehuzhi quickly complained: "Since my army surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, it has been constantly harassed by the Hashiha tribe and the Tatar headquarters. The tribe has been unable to rest, and the herdsmen have suffered countless injuries. Our army is seriously short of salt, iron and weapons. We have repeatedly appealed to the Ming border. The general asked for support, but no one responded, so the Oara tribe had to move again and again. If this continues, Oara will cease to exist!"
Zhu Yunwen did not believe it and stopped suddenly. The Wala tribe led by Mahamu and others was indeed attacked by Hashiha, Guilichi and others. However, Wala suffered no losses. The greater losses were caused by Hashha and Gui. Li Chi.
However, it is true that Wala lacks salt and iron, and it is also true that no one responded to the Ming generals asking for help. Who among the generals of the Ming Dynasty will care about Wala's life and death? If Mahamu really died, they would probably celebrate with drums and gongs...
He also exaggerated the crisis in Wala just to ask for more help.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Tie Xuan and said, "What does the Ministry of War think?"
Tiexuan naturally understood Zhu Yunwen's meaning, and said to Yehuzhi: "Envoys, please don't exaggerate. How is Wala's troops? Shaanxi Xingdusi came to report. The Ming Dynasty can understand the assistance King Shunning (Mahamu) wants But the problem is that the roads are impassable. The Tatars are entrenched in the Hetao and Gansu areas, and even if our merchants want to go to Oara, they can't do it."
"The Ming Dynasty promised to open a mutual trade in Wala every month this year, but you didn't send anyone to trade. Can you blame the Ming Dynasty? No way. So, this is all the fault of the Tatars. It is the Tatars who blocked the road. It is the Tatars that prevent you from trading with each other. When the envoy returns, he can tell King Shunning that the Ming Dynasty is willing to work with him to attack the Tatars and open up channels for mutual trade."
He was suddenly speechless. If it were so easy, Wala would have been beaten long ago. In this situation, who dares to fight easily? Who knows if Song Sheng will suddenly stab him in the back.
Zhu Yunwen said to the Wala envoy: "The prerequisite for mutual trade is that the merchants can leave the customs smoothly. The Tatars are powerful, and Wala is also responsible. You can tell the three kings of Wala that soon, the Ming Dynasty will send large armies to Suzhou and other places. If Wala is willing Join forces with the Ming Dynasty to drive away the Tatars, and you can discuss with the commander of the front line, King Yan."
"King Yan?"
Suddenly his face turned pale.
The reputation of King Zhu Di of Yan is still very loud in Oara and Tatar. This fourth son of Ming Taizu is quite good at fighting. When he was in Qiaoba Mountain, he dared to use the flawless weapon of Tianyou when facing the elites of Tatar and Oara. Tactics can be said to be a person who understands the art of war and is extremely courageous.
He went to the northwest to become the commander-in-chief, which was not a good thing for Oara. Of course, it was even more of a threat to the Tatars.
"The foreign minister takes the order."
Ye Huzhi did not continue to accuse. Zhu Yunwen's attitude was already very clear. Jointly attacking the Tatars was the only option. Otherwise, there would be no mutual market or trade.
Guilichi and Arutai, yes, these people deserve to die anyway. Mahamu has wanted to deal with them for a long time, but because Hashiha is still alive, he can't spare any time to deal with the Tatars.
While Zhu Di goes to the northwest, he may be able to inflict a heavy blow on the Tatars and drive them away from the west and back to the central and eastern grasslands.
"Emperor of Heaven!"
The North Korean envoys who had been waiting a little impatiently finally stood up. Zheng Jin and Li Guiling knelt down and kowtowed hard, once, twice, three times in the astonished eyes of many envoys!
Zheng Jin and Li Guiling raised their bloody foreheads and shouted in unison: "If the Emperor of China wants to kill us, do it here! I hope that the Emperor of China will raise his noble hand and let countless people in North Korea and North Korea have a way to live!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
