I want to be a grandson

Chapter 496 The feudal country accuses!

"Wang Zhong, how did the envoys of various countries arrange it?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, envoys from various countries will go to the Hall of Martial Arts to have a banquet today." Eunuch Wang Zhong reported from the palace.

Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly, and said, "Get ready, I'll meet them."

"Yes, slaves obey."

Zhu Yunxi turned his gaze back to the map.

It's just that at this time, his eyes are not fixed on the north, but on the rich and wealthy places in the south of the Yangtze River.

Beiping Prefecture is really too remote.

If the capital is moved to Beiping, the imperial court's control over the world can basically only reach the front line of the Huaihe River...

This is not only the case in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the Qing Dynasty.

This is by no means alarmist talk, but a historical fact!

In fact, just think about how many chief ministers and assistant ministers in the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty were from Jiangnan, and you will understand!

During the Ming Dynasty, there were a total of 67 chief ministers,

Eleven of the 67 cabinet ministers are from Zhejiang, which is really shocking. Apart from Zhejiang, Jiangxi has ten and Jiangsu has nine. These are the three provinces with the most cabinet ministers.

And this has not counted other areas in Jiangnan.

Since Jiangnan has the largest number of high-level officials, the same is true for the officials of the subordinates!
One of the reasons for this situation is that East China, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas have been prosperous since ancient times, where studies and literature are promoted, talents come forth in large numbers, and there are many wealthy families!

Moreover, there is a storehouse of food and taxes, forming an important political force. In order to stabilize the country, the imperial court balances power, and the employment will naturally be biased!

During the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party represented by Jiangsu, Anhui, and Nanzhili once fought fierce party struggles with the Qi Party (Shandong), the Chu Party (Huguang Province-Hubei, Hunan), and the Zhejiang Party!

Among these parties, most of them are also from Jiangnan!
As an emperor, don't you know that there must be balance in employing people?

How could you promote and appoint so many ministers from the south to serve as the capital of the cabinet?
In fact, this is just a helpless move!
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, which is an unsolvable problem in any dynasty!

The imperial court also wanted to collect taxes and money from Jiangnan, and the Ming Dynasty's control over Jiangnan was relatively weak, so it could only take measures to exchange interests.

In a very famous anti-corruption TV series a few years ago, it was mentioned that there are two major factions in one province,
And these two major factions were former people from this province...

That is to say, this Zhao who used to dominate that place took the whole place into his own hands...

After the Ming Dynasty encountered foreign enemies and the capital fell, why didn't they have enough strength to establish a court after they ran to the south of the Yangtze River?

It is because the Ming Dynasty's control over Jiangnan is too weak!
Those aristocratic families, as well as officials and gentry, did not have a sense of identity with the imperial court, and naturally they would not give their full support.

That's why it finally led to the complete collapse of the Ming Dynasty!

And the reason why it is said that the Qing Dynasty is the same,

In fact, if you think about where the revolution started and where it spread, you will understand.

It is also gradually expanding from south to north!
And then with the opening of the era of great navigation, it is not as convenient to set the capital in the north as it is in the south!

The grasslands in the north are too barren, even for later generations, it is difficult to develop them.

But the Nanyang countries are different. There are many rich resources there, and they are all vassal states of Ming Dynasty. They are relatively close to Ming Dynasty, and it is not too difficult to control them...

And now Nanyang and Australia, many places are still unclaimed land...

Not to mention the beautiful country and everyone taking that place...

bark,

It's really mouth watering...

Also, with the innovation of gun technology, as long as the guns and artillery are vigorously developed, even if there are enemies on the grasslands,

Then they will become vulnerable in front of guns!
Zhu Yunxi also had this consideration in not moving the capital to Beiping.

It's just that this kind of thoughts can't be told to others, and it can only be released bit by bit when the right opportunity comes!
And the steps are too big, it is easy to pull somewhere...

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, envoys from various countries have gathered together.

Wearing their own different costumes, they stood in the hall and whispered to each other, whispering to each other.

"His Majesty the Emperor Ming has arrived!"

Following the eunuch's shout, the envoys from all over the world quickly jumped off their chairs and formed into two teams respectfully, neatly arranged.

He bowed his head and faced the floor, not daring to raise his head.

Before going to the banquet, people from the Ministry of Rituals taught them the etiquette in the palace and told them to abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty.

"I wait to pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wan An!"

All the envoys knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and saluted.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already sat on the chair, looked at the envoys below, and said kindly: "Everyone loves you, please give me your seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did the crowd stand up, at this moment, the eunuch had moved the brocade stool over, and they sat down respectively.

An Nanguo envoy's complexion was dark, his body was fine and thin, but his eyes were piercing.

He said politely: "Your Majesty, this minister is an envoy of Annan Kingdom. After the king of Annan Kingdom learned that the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty was about to succeed to the throne, he immediately sent this minister to Daming to congratulate His Majesty on his enthronement!"

Zhu Yunxi said politely: "The ruler of your country has a heart..."

As soon as he said this, the envoys of other vassal states immediately flattered him!
"Your Majesty, I am a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and an envoy of the Little Liuqiu Kingdom. I am sent to Ming Dynasty by the king's order. Congratulations to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, I am the envoy of the Kingdom of Chenla..."

Faced with such flattery, Zhu Yunxi nodded with a smile on his face.

Although they didn't say anything, such a reaction was enough to satisfy them!

In the end Yoshihiro Ouchi, the envoy of the Japanese Nu Kingdom, even though he was sitting on a stool, still bowed his body very low, and said with a flattering expression: "Your Majesty, I am an envoy of the Japanese Nu Kingdom.

Congratulations to Your Majesty on his ascension to the throne. Originally, this is what a subject should do. It is a great honor to be received by His Majesty and given a banquet! "

Although Ouchi Yoshihiro was all smiles, the words of the working committee did not arouse the response of the envoys from various countries.

Instead, the air seemed to condense, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold!

For a moment, the entire hall was silent, and even their gasps seemed so eye-catching.

All the envoys turned their attention to Ouchi Yoshihiro.

In their eyes, there seems to be no emotion, and there is no big reaction

But under the eyes, it is full of disgust and hatred!
This is a look of hatred and fear, but also does not want to provoke.

After Ouchi Yoshihiro finished speaking, he still maintained a humble posture. Although he lowered his head, he also knew what kind of eyes everyone was looking at him with.
Daming is not the only one who is harassed by Japanese pirates!

Those countries in the South China Sea have more or less been plundered by Japanese pirates.

Property was looted, population was massacred
It's no wonder they greeted the people of the Wonu Kingdom with such a good face!
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Ouchi Yoshihiro, and said calmly: "You are the envoy of the Japanese slave country, um, I know..."

Yoshihiro Ouchi's eyes twitched violently!
What does His Majesty mean by this?
Didn't the emperor of Ming Dynasty like the Japanese slave country?
Or what do you think of me as an envoy?
Not allowing him to think too much, Zhu Yunxi turned to other people and said: "My dear friends, you have come to Daming from a long distance, and your heart is commendable. Daming has a close relationship with all the vassal states. Today, you are here on behalf of each vassal state. Come, see you today, and get close to you a lot.”

"It just so happens that I also want to hear about the customs and customs of other countries, as well as how the country governs. Annan's envoys, let's start with you!"

"Yes! I obey!"

The envoy of An Nanguo was overjoyed!
Let me start with myself, this is an honor!

"Your Majesty, Annan Kingdom has been a territory of the Central Plains since the Han and Tang Dynasties, and its origins are extremely deep... It is really an honor for Annan to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty..."

An Nanguo's envoy started from the relationship between the two implicitly, so as to narrow the distance between them.

It's just that he didn't mention the fact that during the Five Dynasties and the Later Jin Dynasty, Wu Quan, a native of Tanglin Prefecture in Jiaozhi, proclaimed himself king. From this time on, Annan became an independent country.

Next, he briefly talked about the customs and customs of An Nanguo, how to imitate the social system of Ming Dynasty, and the monarch's admiration for Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I am an envoy of Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom, and the two of them are envoys of Nanshan and Beishan..."

"My ministers see Your Majesty!" The two envoys bowed and saluted.

"You two don't have to be polite."

The envoy of the Zhongshan Kingdom continued: "Your Majesty, we are the envoys of the three vassal kingdoms of Shannan, Zhongshan, and Shanbei of the Ryukyu Islands... The Ryukyu Islands stretch for more than two thousand miles..."

He said this because the Kingdom of Ryukyu was the name of the feudal regime that once existed in the Ryukyu Islands. It originally referred to the three countries of Shannan, Zhongshan, and Shanbei established in the Ryukyu Islands, also known as the Sanshan regime.

Until [-], the three kingdoms were unified into the Kingdom of Ryukyu.

The Kingdom of Ryukyu is located between Taitai Island of Huaxia and Kyushu of the Wonu Kingdom, winding for a thousand kilometers, the geographical location is extremely special!

As the envoy of Zhongshan Kingdom spoke, he could not help crying: "Your Majesty, although there are many islands in Ryukyu, the products are not abundant, and there are too many poisonous snakes and beasts, but relying on the power of Ming Dynasty, the subjects of the country can still survive...

However, the Japanese pirates have been rampant in recent years. They came by boat, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. Our treasures were taken away by them, and the food we planted was trampled and burned by them.
Even the houses that the people worked so hard to build were burned by them, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people. Although the king wanted to imitate Ming Dynasty, he trained troops and horses to resist the invasion of Japanese pirates.

However, there are too many islands in the Ryukyu Three Kingdoms, and there is no way to build a large city, and the power of the country and the people are not enough.

On some islands, there is no way to organize soldiers to defend, so in the face of these Japanese pirates pressing every step of the way, we Ryukyu Three Kingdoms can only watch the loss of the people, but we can do nothing. Every time our king reads this, he can’t help Sad and weeping, I hate the actions of Japanese pirates!
On behalf of the Three Kingdoms of Ryukyu, I implore Your Majesty to make the decision!Return the Ryukyu Three Kingdoms to justice! "

After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and knocked his head repeatedly with "dong dong dong".

"Your Majesty, please be the master! Uphold justice!"

The envoys of Nanshan and Beishan also knelt and kowtowed together.

Facing the invasion and plunder of Japanese pirates, the Ryukyu Three Kingdoms are powerless to resist!

Their islands are too scattered, there is no way to organize soldiers to resist, and they can't even defend!

Coupled with the fact that the national power, material resources and financial resources are very weak, how can they protect their own people?
Zhu Yunxi had learned about the actual situation. Many islands in the Ryukyu Kingdom were occupied by Japanese pirates.

Of course, those Japanese pirates also understood that the Ryukyu Three Kingdoms had no ability to fight back against them, so they boldly occupied it and became their hiding place.

The envoy of the Sulu Kingdom also asked for orders: "The Japanese pirates not only harassed the three countries of Ryukyu, but we were also plundered by them. Please ask the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to be the master for us!"

Not only the Three Kingdoms of the Ryukyu, not just Sulu, so what if it is the Ming Dynasty?

Isn't it often harassed by Japanese pirates!

Zhu Yunxue turned his gaze to Ouchi Yoshihiro. Under Zhu Yunxue's staring eyes and the hatred eyes of all the envoys, Ouchi Yoshihiro was restless for a while!

The countries in Southeast Asia have more or less been robbed by Japanese pirates, why don't they hate it!
Ouchi Yoshihiro felt that his throat was congested, so he quickly lowered his body, saluted and said, "I implore the emperor of Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates they are talking about are not people from our Japanese slave country, but wandering on the sea, relying on the islands. The thieves who survived broke the law and fled to the sea in fear of death...

Uh... Maybe there are also people from our Wonu country. There was a war between the north and the south of the Wonu country and the big names, and those who lost power in their own country fled to the sea, but these people are only a minority after all.
Therefore, it is not only the Japanese slave country that invaded them, but the king of our country and General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu hate bandits very much!If countries can wipe out these sea thieves, we will definitely support..."

"fart!"

The envoy of the Champa Kingdom pointed at Yoshihiro Ouchi's nose and scolded: "You Japanese slave country condoned the Japanese pirates, but shifted the responsibility to others. What is the reason?
They are clearly people who came out of our Japanese slave country, and the gold, silver and treasures they plundered have all been transported back to you. If you ask me, do you dare to do it or not? "

"Just last year, six of our cities in Champa were breached by Japanese pirates. Countless civilians were killed and injured, and food, grass, and property suffered heavy losses! Now you want to write it all down! You really think we are easy to bully!"

The envoy of Sulu also said: "Last year in our Sulu, there were [-] places relayed by Japanese pirates, and [-] cities were attacked. The thieves of your Japanese slave country kept robbing property and burning food,

Also kill those unarmed civilians!But you are eloquent here, and you refuse to admit it!Today, in front of His Majesty the Suzerain, you still haven't pleaded guilty! "

At this moment Yoshihiro Ouchi felt overwhelmed and bitter!
How did the banquet of the Goodwill Meeting turn into a meeting of accusations against the Japanese slave country!

Sure enough, there is no good banquet!
Although he knew in his heart that what they said was the truth, Yoshihiro Ouchi couldn't admit it, otherwise he would completely tear his skin apart!
I had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow and said: "The Japanese slave country has a certain responsibility, and is willing to join hands with other countries to fight against the Japanese pirates! Please learn from your majesty!"
