Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 627, Daming vassal state treaty
"Two ocean-going treasure ships and one Nanyang island~"

"I heard that this treasure ship costs more than [-] taels of silver. Daming Shangguo really didn't tell me North Korea."

"As for this Nanyang island, Daming doesn't know what it means."

Pu Yuanzong lamented Daming's generosity, while scratching his head, thinking about what Daming meant.

It was so good that it rewarded North Korea with a Nanyang island. The detailed information of the location was given. The geographical location is not bad, just south of Luzon Island in Nanyang, and the area is not small.

Then Pu Yuanzong shook his head slightly, and returned to the hall where the envoys were staying with a smile on his face.

Seeing Pu Yuanzong's return, the others immediately regained their energy. Looking at Pu Yuanzong's smile and the thick notebook in his hand, it was obvious that Daming's reward must be extremely generous.

Many envoys from small countries in Nanyang were even more excited. This time, it seemed that they could make a lot of money again.

"The envoys of various countries have come to the Phoenix Hall to meet~"

Soon, the Little Yellow Gate came again, but it was a one-time visit to the Phoenix Hall for the envoys from various countries, which made everyone unable to help being slightly taken aback.

The treatment seems to be too different.

The North Korean envoys met alone, but when it was everyone's turn, they even met together.

Eastern King Godala and Japanese Empress Kashiwahara couldn't help frowning. The identities and status of the two of them were different anyway. In any case, the emperor of Ming Dynasty should have a separate interview, but not on Daming's side.

This made the two of them look very ugly.

But there was no other way, and they could only follow the crowd to a huge hall. The hall had already been well-arranged, and it was almost the same as when going to court, leaving a huge open space in the middle.

On it is the dragon chair of Emperor Hongzhi. There are many seats on both sides, and the middle is empty for antiphonal performances.

The positions have already been divided. The envoys of the Korean state are on the left side of the front, and Godala, the king of the Sulu Kingdom, is on the right.

The next step is the position of King Wa and An Nan, and then arranged in turn, and the last one is the position of envoy of Lu Song.

Not long after everyone lined up, Emperor Hongzhi came to the Phoenix Hall with the important ministers of the court.

"Embassy delegations from various countries pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty~"

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi sat down, Xiao Jing also shouted loudly.

"Xiao Wang sees His Majesty the Emperor of Ming~"

Eastern King Godara and Japanese Empress Kashiwabara shouted, they don't need to kneel down, just bow their heads and possess them.

"My ministers refer to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming~"

As for the envoys from other countries, they all knelt down and saluted solemnly to Emperor Hongzhi.

"Exemption, a seat~"

Emperor Hongzhi had a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty~"

Everyone thanked them and got up and sat on the chairs next to them.

"Everyone has come from a long distance, and the journey has been tiring and hard work. I have a special dinner tonight, and I invite you all to appreciate it."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the envoys from various countries below, and the characteristics were very distinctive.

The clothes they wear, the things they wear, the hats they wear, etc. are all different, and the styles are so different that people can't help but look at them more.

King Godala of the Eastern Sulu Kingdom has a big beard and a big white hat, and his clothes are more like wrapped in a piece of cloth, which always makes people wonder if the cloth will fall off.

Emperor Kashiwahara, the queen of the Japanese country, dressed very carefully. It is said that this style of dressing was passed down from the Tang Dynasty, so Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but take a closer look.

Park Yuanzong, the envoy of North Korea, was wearing the same clothes as a Ming official, with a crimson suit and a hat. If you didn't mention it, you would think that he was a minister of Ming, and this was the one that most resembled Ming.

As for the envoys from various countries in Southeast Asia, many of them are dressed in strange clothes, which are a bit nondescript, but most of them wear hats, and there are jade or precious stones in the middle of the hats.

"Thank you, Your Majesty~"

Hearing what Emperor Hongzhi said, all the envoys also expressed their thanks one after another.

Hosting a banquet can be regarded as a routine operation, not to mention how many envoys came this time, so they had to express it anyway.

"Everyone, I, Da Ming, have always been kind to others and acted in the world with benevolence and righteousness."

"However, my Ming Dynasty treats people with benevolence and righteousness, but it is always in exchange for wolf-heartedness. Even though the Japanese pirates have been a star, I have lived along the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years. My Ming Dynasty has repeatedly asked the Japanese country to thoroughly investigate and severely punish this matter, but the Japanese country does not care. The disaster of the Japanese pirates is getting worse Rampant, killing my Ming people, robbing my Ming merchant ships."

After saying good things, Emperor Hongzhi's expression changed, and he said sharply.

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, everyone looked at Empress Kashiwahara and Yin Shizhongzhen sent by the shogun in unison. It was a good show.

Da Mingzi is angry here, and he is going to question the King of Japan and the shogunate.

"Xiao Wang dare not~"

Emperor Go Kashiwahara hurriedly stood up and bowed his head.

"The subject is guilty~"

As for Yin Shi Zhongzhen, who was sent by the shogun, he fell to his knees directly, sweating on his forehead.

Shouldn't this matter be over, why mention this matter at this time, the Wa Kingdom has already ceded land and paid compensation to Daming, and still mentioning this matter is another slaughter of the Wa Kingdom.

"Humph~"

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, and then said: "Lu Song deliberately organized and plotted to kill and rob our Ming people."

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's roll call, the envoy of the Lu Song Kingdom who was sitting at the back immediately fell to his knees in fright, trembling.

There is no way, Daming is too cruel.

In the battle of Manila, the Luzon Kingdom was almost wiped out. From the Luzon King and princes and ministers, down to a large number of ministers, they were all killed.

The current Luzon Kingdom is just formed from some remaining places, its strength is very weak, and it is always worried that Daming will attack again and wipe them out completely.

"In order to prevent such things from happening again in the future, and at the same time to consolidate the friendly relations between our Ming Dynasty and other countries, we have formulated some treaties here."

"If you are willing to become a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty sincerely, then sign the treaty. From now on, if countries treat my Ming Dynasty sincerely, my Ming Dynasty will treat all countries sincerely."

"If you don't want to become a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty, you don't need to come to my Ming Dynasty to pay tribute in the future. My Ming Dynasty does not lack those things, and we will not give any rebates."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced contemptuously at the envoy of the Lu Song Kingdom, and then spoke slowly.

In fact, these have already been formulated long ago. It is nothing more than an excuse, and then it is necessary to distinguish the relationship with these countries.

Those who are willing to be a vassal state will come to sign the treaty, and after signing the treaty, they will be Daming's younger brother, and it will be easy to talk about doing things according to the content of the treaty.

If you don't want to, then don't pretend to pay tribute in the future, trying to cheat Da Ming's rewards, our Da Ming is not short of your things, we want to get wool from Da Ming's body, dreaming.

It's different now.

Liu Jin and Emperor Hongzhi set the tone. From now on, Daming's foreign affairs will be based on the interests of Daming, and the matter of swollen face to pretend to be fat will not be done in the future.

Many of these small countries in Nanyang came here to collect wool. In fact, few of them sincerely wanted to become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. Of course, the expansion of Ming Dynasty in Nanyang now made them very uneasy.

Paying tribute to Daming, being able to get rebates, and being able to build a good relationship with Daming, so that Daming will not be able to invade himself in the future, this is the most important thing.

But now, Daming's side has changed, and it's not easy to take advantage of Daming, so he has started to be pragmatic.

Following the words of Emperor Hongzhi, there was also Xiao Huangmen who handed over a copy of the agreement that had been drawn up to these envoys.

East King Godala took over the agreement and quickly read it.

Daming vassal state treaty?
Eastern King Godala couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw it. Daming was so different this time, and he always felt that the future might not be easy.

After looking through it carefully, there are many contents, and the main contents are as follows.

The first one is that Daming is based on the principle of voluntariness and does not force any country to become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, so this agreement can be signed or not, and Ming Dynasty will not force any country to sign this vassal state treaty.

The second article, once this treaty is signed, it means becoming a vassal state of Daming, and from now on, if you want to leave the sequence of vassal states of Daming, you must get the consent of Daming.

Article [-]: After becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty on a regular basis, specifying the items, quantity and total value of the tribute in detail, and the Ming Dynasty does not need to give back.

Article [-]. After becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven must be respected as the main one. In name, the Son of Heaven is the supreme monarch of the vassal state. As for the monarch of the vassal state itself, he must be canonized by the Son of Heaven to be considered orthodox and legal. .

Article [-]: After becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal state must learn Chinese civilization in an all-round way, respect Confucianism and Taoism, learn Chinese characters, change Chinese surnames, and must not implement any other ways of civilization.

Article [-]: After becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal state must use the silver dollars and bank notes of the Ming Dynasty, and both sides allow the merchants of the other party to conduct business and trade freely.

Eastern King Godala looked at the items listed in the vassal state agreement, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, a little unbelievable.

Is this still Daming?

Didn't the Ming Dynasty in the past value righteousness and despise profit, and run the world with benevolence, righteousness and morality?
Wasn't Daming a kind person in the past?

Wasn't Daming in the past stupid?

Why has everything changed all of a sudden now? Every item of the Da Ming vassal state agreement is very serious. Once the vassal state agreement is signed, these countries will become vassals of Ming from now on.

The monarch in name is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. In the future, the change of monarchs will have to be approved and canonized by Daming. The more important thing is to learn Chinese culture, change Chinese surnames, learn Chinese characters, respect Confucianism and Taoism...

　Is it a bit domineering?
