Yue Sihai really planned to sink the boat. He didn't know whether this group of people could swim, but he could guarantee that they would all float on the water.
However, the emperor did not issue the order for a long time, so Yue Sihai had no choice but to send the group of people across the Yangtze River.
Azu, Feifu, Hino Miko and others arrived outside Jinling City with lingering fears and anxiety. Looking at the tall and majestic Jinling City, they were shocked to the point of speechlessness.
"Why did the Ming Dynasty build such a huge city wall?"
Fei Fu was very puzzled.
Yue Sihai frowned slightly, "What do you mean? Do you mean that your Kyoto doesn't even have a city wall?"
Indeed, although there were many large and small cities in Japan at this time, there were only a few with city walls. It was probably due to lack of manpower and limited geographical location.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to build the new capital of Peiping. The outer city wall alone required 200,000 people to build. Kyoto, where the Japanese shogunate is located, only had 100,000 people at full strength. Men, women and children wearing loincloths together might not be able to build it, let alone where it is. There are many mountains, but these people have limited ability to dig mountains. They can only chop wood. How can they build a large city wall?
Besides, Japan is an island country and has had few crises of external invasion for thousands of years. Once, it was saved by a gust of wind. Everyone was fighting among themselves. You killed me, I fucked you, and we grew up together. It would be good to build a courtyard or an irregular wall, but what about a city wall? Believe it or not, if you build it, within two or three years, an earthquake will tear out a big crack in your wall?
boom!
Azu felt a pain on his face and quickly raised his hands to cover his face. The result was egg liquid on his hand, which was very yellow...
"They are Japanese pirates, smash them!"
Eggs, green vegetable leaves, white radish, etc. were thrown over. Even Hino Miko was not spared, and a group of people became angry.
"Rude, rude, we are envoys!"
Fatty shouted loudly.
Huitongtong Lu Song stood outside the crowd with a calm expression.
Wang Shuo was a little uneasy and whispered: "Ambassador, is this inappropriate? They are envoys. If word spreads, it will damage the reputation of our country as a ceremonial country..."
Lu Song didn't care and said calmly: "These people are not popular with the people, and it is not easy for the court to control them. It's just not good to throw away eggs."
Wang Shuo nodded repeatedly. It was really not good-looking to throw eggs and get all over someone.
Lu Song added slowly: "We should replace it with stones or weights. It won't break down and save money..."
Wang Shuo's eyes widened, was this still Ambassador Lu whom he admired? If the weights were thrown away, these people would not be able to walk a hundred steps alive...
Yue Sihai hid behind and yawned. Throw it away if you want. People who come uninvited will not be welcomed by the people of the Ming Dynasty.
See, this is the human heart and has nothing to do with the court.
Seeing that someone really threw the weight out, by coincidence, it was hit directly on the temple and died on the spot. Yue Sihai had to come out to maintain order. Lu Song also ran out from behind the crowd when he saw this. Everyone saw When the officials came, they dispersed, leaving a mess behind.
Hino Miko gritted her teeth and shouted in a sharp voice: "Is this the Ming Dynasty's way of hospitality?"
After the general translated, Lu Song said with a smile: "Envoys from other countries are guests, and you came here secretly. What kind of guests do you think we are? If you think we don't treat our guests well, the city gate is right there."
Azu comforted Hino Miko, looked at the dead followers, and sighed secretly, he finally arrived at the capital of the Ming Dynasty, how could he go back if he couldn't complete the mission?
"We have come with our credentials. We have important matters to discuss with the Emperor."
Azu shouted solemnly.
Lu Song did not face any further difficulties and turned around to lead the way. The team of Japanese envoys arrived at the Huitong Pavilion smelling of vegetable leaves and rotten eggs. The Security Bureau reported the news to Zhu Yunwen, but Zhu Yunwen just looked at it calmly and said nothing.
Two days later, envoys from all parties came to the palace.
Stand up, read a congratulatory message, offer a gift, accept it, and step aside.
Next……
Familiar and old-fashioned procedures, the same words, there are not many tricks to it, Zhu Yunwen feels sleepy after hearing it, there is no way, he has been angry too much during this period, he can't sleep at night, and he is easily comforted when he can't sleep. ,
To comfort and comfort, you have to exercise. If you exercise too much, you will really feel sleepy...
After the Wala envoy finished talking, the Tatar envoy Hafeis came out. He just said a few words of congratulations when he was interrupted by Zhu Yunzhen: "The Tatars have repeatedly invaded our borders and killed our soldiers and civilians, but now they are openly praying for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. , The country is peaceful and the people are safe, it’s really ridiculous.”
Hafeisi quickly said: "We didn't know how powerful the Ming Dynasty was, and we offended Tianyan. Now that we know that we are guilty, we beg for forgiveness. From now on, the Tatars are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and both parties will be fine."
Zhu Yunwen didn't know what medicine Benya Shili and Arutai were selling. Although the Tatars could not eat well and could not sell goods, they would not have to worry about food and clothing in a short time. Although the Ming Dynasty increased its troops in the northeast, they were all in Harawain. In Shandong, if the Ming Dynasty really plans to comprehensively deal with the Tatars, it will at least deal with Duoyanwei first. Now Duoyanwei is still fine, why are you nervous?
"Begging for forgiveness, even if Benya is not here, it should be Arutai. I just want to send you, an unknown person, to wipe out the blood feud. I will not agree. Go back and tell Benya. Li, Arutai, if he wants peace, I can give it to him, as long as he dares to come here in person and settle his accounts."
Zhu Yunwen said majestically.
Hafeis is full of bitterness, Benya Shili has no courage to come to the Ming Dynasty, Alutai may have the courage, but he will never leave. The current person in charge of Tatar is Arutai. Once he leaves Tatar for a few months, it is difficult to say whether he can find the tent or enter the tent after he returns.
"I would like to serve as a special envoy to discuss compensation."
Hafeith requested.
Zhu Yunwen stared at Xu Huizu, Tie Xuan and others.
Tie Xuan stood up and said bluntly: "The so-called special envoy is just a messenger. Your Majesty, I think that the Tatars are just using the name of negotiation to delay time and build up strength. If the Tatars really want to surrender, they should send The person who can take charge comes to the capital."
Hafeis shook his fist.
Yes, Arutai was knocked unconscious by three firearms. He was afraid that the Ming army would chase him to the Luqu River and use firearms again, so he took this opportunity to delay for a while. At least during the negotiation, he could paralyze the Ming Dynasty and prevent it from going deep into the grassland.
As for how long the negotiations last, it depends on the need. It's such a long journey, and it's normal to go back and forth for several months, and talk for three to five years.
But the people in Mingting are very smart, and they won't be fooled at all.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said sternly: "The Tatars killed the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty does not want to discuss compensation with you. You should know very well that the Ming Dynasty is not the former Song Dynasty, and besides, this is not the place to discuss compensation."
Hafeis was a little confused and couldn't understand what Zhu Yunwen meant.
Tie Xuan, Yang Rong and others understood.
What Zhu Yunwen means is that the former Song Dynasty basically discussed compensation matters when they suffered defeats or were unable to fight. However, the Ming Dynasty had the strength to fight and did not intend to discuss these matters when it was suffering losses. If it wanted to negotiate, it would have to wait until the Ming Dynasty dealt with it. After that, you go to another place, such as Luqu River, or sit with Lin, and discuss the agreement to compensate Daming.
Hafeis failed to complete his mission. This was not a problem of his ability, but of Ming's lack of will.
Wala's Tupolo saw clearly the intentions of Zhu Yunqi and Ming Ting. They were raising Tatars and raising this enemy to strengthen their armaments!
I heard that a new city of the Ming Dynasty had appeared in Hetao. I don’t know what method these people used to do it. The main Tatar army suffered some losses and finally had no choice but to escape to the Quhe River.
Now the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Army are becoming increasingly unclear. The Tatars are not weak. They can only run away when facing the Ming Dynasty's partial army. Is this too exaggerated?
No matter what, Wala will not offend Ming now.
Hafeis retreated. It seemed that if he wanted to hold Daming back, he could only think of other ways.
At this time, the Japanese envoy monk Azu came out, bowed respectfully, and then took out his letter of credence: "The shogunate has respected the Celestial Empire for a long time, and it is a great blessing to see the emperor today. I present my letter of credence today, and I hope to make a good marriage with the Celestial Empire." , become a vassal state under the Heavenly Kingdom, and will never offend. Please also ask the Emperor to take pity on the small country and the weak people, refrain from murderous intentions, and leave me a way to survive."
The general took the letter of credence and handed it to the chamberlain, who handed it to Zhu Yunwen.
The certificate of credence is Ashikaga Yoshimochiguchi
The description was written in Chinese characters by a monk translator.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the credentials and felt a little sick.
Ashikaga Yoshimachi is simply shameless.
He said that the things that disrespected the Ming Dynasty in the past all happened during the period of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Now that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is dead, his era has changed, and the shogunate has changed to a new steward. He is willing to surrender wholeheartedly. Whatever you want, there is a little gold. , here you go, I’ll give you even a little bit of money, beauty, here you go.
The inside and outside of the words can basically be summed up in one sentence: Dad Ming, don’t hit me, the rest can be discussed.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi's credentials are humble and full of pleading. If other emperors read it, they would probably be soft-hearted and agree. But Zhu Yunwen is not an ordinary emperor. As an emperor who has a deep understanding of the Japanese nation, he knows one thing very well. This nation holds grudges deep in its bones. No matter how respectful you are when you bend down and bow now, the moment you bow your head, you may be thinking, when I become stronger, I will kill you!
Grudges, forbearance, cruelty, and shamelessness are what the Yamato nation has in their bones. These can be seen everywhere in their myths and legends and in their history!
The more cowardly these people are, the more violent their revenge will be in the future!
From the humbleness of the credentials, Zhu Yunwen saw the shogunate's hysterical unwillingness and forbearance beyond ordinary people!
Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu died half a year later than in history, which surprised Zhu Yunwen, he still died in the end. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was weaker than Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but this did not change the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards Japan.
No matter who is in charge of the shogunate, Ming Dynasty needs to fundamentally solve this hidden danger and eliminate this group of garbage.
Want to recognize Daming as your father?
Sorry, I don’t know your mother.
Zhu Yunwen threw away Ashikaga Yoshimochi's credential and said coldly: "Come here, bring Japan's fine work up, let everyone see how Japan is two-faced!"
Azu, Feifu, and Hino Miko panicked.
The guards in front of the palace carried Li Xiuji and Li Xiushi and threw them onto the main hall. The sound of clattering iron chains made people tremble.
