The ministers were stunned, the envoys were surprised, and even Zhu Yunwen felt a little baffled.
The words of Zheng Jin and Li Guiling seemed to be saying that the Ming Dynasty was going to destroy North Korea, but Zhu Yunwen had no such intention and no such plan.
"What does this mean?"
Zhu Yunwen asked in confusion.
Li Guiling, who was born as a general, had an upright temperament and did not know how to beat around the bush. He shouted loudly: "If the Celestial Empire had no ambition to destroy North Korea, why would it join forces with Huli to set up Jianzhou Guards, stationed a large army, and sent envoys many times to win over him?" Aren’t the Jurchen tribes near Jianzhou plotting against North Korea? Why are they extending their hands to the border areas between the two countries? Aren’t they afraid of provoking border provocations?”
Zhu Yunwen laughed angrily at Li Guiling's words, and Tie Xuan even slapped the table and shouted sternly: "The envoy is so rude, isn't it provoking the majesty of the monarch of the Celestial Empire? If the two countries are at odds because of this, you will be the chief culprit!"
Mei Yin stood up and angrily rebuked: "North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the envoys dare to roar in the main hall. Your Majesty, please give them a lesson and let them know that the majesty of the Celestial Empire cannot be violated!"
Install the latest version. 】
The emperor humiliated the minister and died, and the envoy dared to do this to Zhu Yunzhen, which meant that the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were not taken seriously. It was normal procedure to drag him out, behead him and feed him to the dog.
Zheng Jin still knew two words, and knew that Li Guiling was too direct and had offended Ming Dynasty, so he would not be able to get anything done. He quickly said: "We just want to seek stability and a guarantee. There is a saying in Ming Dynasty that is good when the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Where are the Jurchens of Jianzhou and where are the guards of Jianzhou? I believe the Ming Dynasty knows better than anyone else. Now that the Ming Dynasty has placed its army directly at the door of North Korea, we can't help but worry and ask, what does the Ming Dynasty want?"
Tie Xuan, Mei Yin and others still wanted to speak, but Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, stood up and walked towards Zheng Jin and Li Guiling, saying: "I tell you, the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou are located north of the Yalu River, between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea. The national boundary line of the Ming Dynasty is based on the Yalu River. In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, recruiting the subjects of the Ming Dynasty and stationing the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, are there any problems? "
Zheng Jin and Li Guiling were surprised. They didn't expect Zhu Yunwen to be so strong!
Tie Xuan, Mei Yin, Xie Jin and others felt relieved when they heard this. Yes, that is the land of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty can do whatever they want. When will it be your turn to make irresponsible remarks about North Korea?
Zhu Yunwen continued: "The Huli tribe surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Is it wrong for me to provide clothes and food to my people? The Huli tribe is facing the threat of the barbarian Jurchens. I sent troops to protect their homes and let them live a stable life. , is it wrong? Why, does the Ming Dynasty need North Korea to teach us how to do things? Does Li Fangyuan already have the courage? "
After a few words, Zheng Jin and Li Guiling were sweating profusely, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.
Zhu Yunwen's momentum and words were really too strong. Not to mention the envoys of North Korea and North Korea, even other envoys felt a sense of oppression from a superior, the anger of the emperor. With this momentum, his own one could not compare. .
Zhu Yunwen stopped and looked at the trembling envoys of North and South Korea. His tone changed to gentle and said: "North Korea is a country that the Ming Dynasty will never conquer. This is the ancestral system of Taizu. I am also willing to cooperate with you. North Korea and North Korea enjoy good neighborliness and friendship and build peace together. As long as North Korea does not let down the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will not let down the Ming Dynasty. I sent envoys deep into Liaodong to appease the Jurchen tribes, not for the purpose of plotting the territory of North Korea. It is to ensure the overall stability of Liaodong."
"You also know where the Jianzhou Jurchens are, and you also know that North Korea will be hurt if they cause chaos. I am doing this for the sake of the people of Ming and North Korea, and for the stability of this country. Now, do you still have any doubts? ?”
Zheng Jin and Li Guiling lowered their heads tremblingly and shouted in a low voice: "No."
Zhu Yunwen threw up his sleeves and walked back, shouting loudly: "The envoy doesn't understand these principles, so Li Fangyuan, who is sitting on the throne, doesn't understand this simple principles?"
Zheng Jin and Li Guiling stared at Zhu Yunwen with wide eyes.
Both of them understood the subtext of this sentence. It meant that Li Fangyuan was sitting on the throne and couldn't handle this matter well. Did he not want to sit in that position anymore?
In other words, if Li Fangyuan continues to be ignorant of current affairs, let someone else be the king of North Korea.
This is a bit dangerous.
Zheng Jin and Li Guiling looked at each other. Li Guiling kowtowed quickly and shouted: "I am a rough man. This matter has nothing to do with the king. I was the one who told nonsense after hearing the news about Jianzhou Wei. I ask the Emperor of Heaven to forgive me."
Zheng Jin also quickly apologized: "We were wrong and misunderstood the Ming emperor's good intentions."
You have to bow your head. If Zhu Yunwen turns his anger on Li Fangyuan, these two envoys will not be able to take a step ahead of Li Fangyuan after they return...
For the sake of Li Fangyuan's position, for the sake of his family, and for the peace of the two countries, he had to bow his head even if he didn't.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the two people begging for mercy, waved his hands, and said: "Tell your king that Ming Dynasty is a friend of North Korea, not an enemy. What Ming Dynasty wants to do in the country, who to recruit, and where to station the army is up to Ming Dynasty himself." No outsiders are allowed to interfere in our affairs.”
Li Guiling wanted to say that the matter of Mengge Timur is not the Ming Dynasty's own business. Others are the tens of thousands of households in North Korea and North Korean officials. You are blatantly recruiting North Korean officials. How can you say that it has nothing to do with North Korea? Something new?
But Li Guiling didn't dare to say it, because the territory where Meng Brother Timur was located was really north of the Yalu River. It was indeed the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Li Chenggui nodded in approval, let alone Li Yuanfang.
If Zhu Yunwen said something about why North Korean officials were in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and said that North Korea invaded the Ming Dynasty, how would this matter be resolved...
Things have already ended badly. Adding fuel to the fire may really lead to war between the two countries. This is definitely not what Li Fangyuan wants to see, and it is not what he can bear.
Say no more, admit your mistake, we want to go home.
Zhu Yunwen raised his hand to ask the two to step back, and then looked at the other envoys: "Go on, there are still envoys who have something to discuss."
Sun Tzu Bu, the envoy of Champa, came out and said: "Honorable Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, we are here with the envoys on the orders of King Lai of Champa to beg for peace with the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the king and grandson can marry the beautiful princess of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to get married and join forces to become a family, please ask the emperor for permission."
"Marriage?"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment and looked at Yang Shiqi.
Yang Shiqi was a little angry. The envoy who occupied the city was dishonest. He had not leaked a word about it a year ago. Now he suddenly said that he wanted to get married, which really caught the Ministry of Rites off guard.
Zhu Yunwen could understand the mood of King Lai of Champa. Champa was now sandwiched between Siam and the Ming Dynasty. To the north was Jiaozhi of the Ming Dynasty. There were not only a large army stationed there, but also a branch of the Navy. To the west was Siam has such a small territory and is close to the sea. It is not easy to get around at all. If Han Guan gets angry one day and leads someone to kill him, he will probably die without knowing why.
Moreover, last year, the Ming army threatened the Southeast Asian countries with the news that 300 scouts had destroyed 3,000 Annan bandits. The impact of this incident on Champa City was really great. Three hundred people could defeat 3,000 people. So Han Watching tens of thousands of people, why don't you just kick Champa into oblivion?
Marriage is a good way to alleviate Champa's worries about life and death. As long as he and Daming get married and become a family, Champa will be safe.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Sun Tzu Bu and said with a smile: "I have told the fortunes of Daming's daughters, and none of them are destined to get married."
Sun Tzu Bu choked up for a moment, looked at Zhu Yunwen, and wanted to ask when it would be settled.
Ye Jia Seng Yuan wanted to speak, but Zhu Yunwen raised his hand to interrupt: "Ming Wu and I know the worries of the king of Champa, but you can also rest assured. The envoys of the Nanyang countries can rest assured that the Ming Dynasty abides by the "Republican Trade Book" The terms in it will never start a war for no reason, let alone cause chaos to the Southeast Asian countries. This is inconsistent with the trade interests of the Ming Dynasty and the interests of all countries."
Sun Tzu Bu had no choice but Zhu Yunwen personally vetoed the marriage and directly blocked the possibility of marriage. Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen personally promised to abide by the "Republican Trade Book", which can be regarded as a gain.
"Over the past year, ocean trade has been very fruitful. The goods are transferred and exchanged, which can be said to be a benefit to all countries. I hope to see peace in the South Ocean and see harmony among all countries. I am willing to coexist peacefully with all countries and not invade each other."
Zhu Yunwen's statement won the applause of envoys from various Southeast Asian countries. They were all afraid of the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty.
The envoys relaxed. They realized that the Ming Dynasty did not take the path of hegemony, nor did it engage in uncontrolled war and expansion. The Ming Dynasty abided by the "Republican Trade Book" and safeguarded peace.
For envoys, these gains are the most precious, far more valuable than any reward.
After the banquet, how Yang Shiqi arranged personnel, and how Xia Yuanji communicated about trade, these matters did not require Zhu Yunwen's personal intervention, and Zhu Yunwen had no intention of focusing on the envoys.
Meeting the next day.
Zhu Yunwen disclosed the news that the Ming Dynasty was preparing for the Western Expedition. This news was no longer a secret to the court officials. The Beijing army was making such a big move, and Zhu Di frequently mobilized and interviewed generals. Officials with eyes and ears knew what was happening in the Ming Dynasty.
The courtiers' opposition to the Western Expedition was directly ignored by Zhu Yunwen, and he used tough methods to issue orders for the Western Expedition to the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army.
Although there were objections from officials, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, Zheng Ci, the Minister of Industry, Tie Xuan, the Minister of War, Xu Huizu, the Governor of the Fifth Army, and Mei Yin, the temporary acting minister, were all warring factions, including the cabinet minister Xie Jin. Yang Shiqi, the Minister of Rites, and others were also the main militant faction, and the opposition in the six departments could not make waves.
It was impossible for the Ming Dynasty not to send troops when Timur conquered the east. With such a powerful enemy and such ferocious beasts, how could it be possible without an expedition to the west?
If you want to fight, let’s fight.
The people of the Ming Dynasty are not afraid of war. The Ming Dynasty has accomplished the battle of Annan and the destruction of the country. It is not impossible to go to the Western Regions to fight a few more battles and take back the entire Western Regions.
Once it is achieved, it will be a supreme honor for this era and the Jianwen Manchu Dynasty, and the prosperous age far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties will also be announced!
