Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 842
In Nanjing City, at the foot of Zijing Mountain, the cheers of mountains and tsunami came one after another, which made Wang Yan seem to have returned to the day when he sacrificed Zhonglie and launched troops to attack Quan and Zhang.

Dongyu is a small bully in Nanyang, but there is still a big gap in front of the Ming Dynasty. They also saw that the Ming Dynasty had lost half of their country, and thought that the Ming Dynasty was not as good as before, so they dared to challenge the Ming Dynasty. But after watching the Ming army drill, Dongyu The envoy's courage was immediately vented.

Before that, Toungoo made big moves in the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period, but the two invasions ended in failure. However, they did not give up.

It was precisely because of this that Dong Yu felt a little guilty, and was always a little apprehensive, fearing that the Ming Dynasty would settle accounts with him.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty pursued the policy of opening up the South Seas and destroyed Champa, which made Toungoo a little uneasy.

If Toungoo wants to guarantee the existing interests, he has to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but looking at it now, although the Ming Dynasty has declined, it is not something that Toungoo can humiliate.

The firearms displayed by the Ming army made them feel terrified, and felt that the Ming army was stronger than when Toungoo fought the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty fought wars every year, so it was not comparable to Dongyu. When the Korean envoys knelt down, the envoys from Ryukyu and other countries next to them naturally knelt down one by one.

Only the envoys of Manqing and Dongyu were left on the stage. Manqing would definitely not be able to kneel, and Dongyu might not be convinced, but he also understood that the main purpose of making such a big commotion in the Ming Dynasty was to scare him, and he also Really scared.

If the Ming Dynasty staged such a big battle, and he didn't give face, it would be that he didn't know how to flatter him, and he wouldn't let the elder brother get down, and forced the elder brother to get angry.

The envoy of Dongyu, looking at the big ship on Xuanwu Lake in the distance, and the tens of thousands of elite troops below, sighed in his heart, Dongyu didn't have the strength to challenge Daming yet, so he had to obey as he did after the last defeat. Subdued, the envoy of Dongyu bowed his knees with a cold face under the regretful eyes of Feng Quan and Lu Zhuangyuan.

"One body and one heart, reorganize Huaxia!"

The moment Dongxu envoy knelt on the ground, the surrounding guards immediately raised their weapons and shouted, and the sound was transmitted from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, like a boulder falling on the water surface, shaking waves in circles.

At the foot of the mountain, the soldiers and the onlookers seemed to understand, and immediately shouted, and many emotional people burst into tears.

The next day, the envoy who stayed for more than a month, Yiyi left Nanjing. This time, the Ming Dynasty rewarded the vassals very special. It was different from the usual ones. There were only three things.

One is a flag, with the four characters "Ming State Dependent" written on the right side, and a blank space next to it. It is for them to draw their own patterns, but the pattern must be confirmed by Daming before the flag can be printed.

The second is a golden seal, which is also engraved with the four characters of "Daming Kingdom".

The third is an imperial edict, which is the will of the canonization, and requires the vassals to use the Ming emperor's year name and the Yellow Emperor's calendar to record events in the future.

With these three things, it is the screen of the Ming Dynasty. If it is attacked by a foreign country, or if there is a civil strife in the country, the Ming court and other vassals will come to the rescue and attack in groups. If there is a conflict between the vassals, the Ming court will also come forward. Mediation, but if there are no these three things, then Daming is not a fan screen, and then Daming has no obligation to protect him.

Now, in order to open up Southeast Asia, the Ming Dynasty has to assume the responsibility of the suzerain country.

For many small countries, they don't have much will to fight for world hegemony, as long as they can maintain the throne and the state, that's fine.

It seems that it is not a bad thing to have Da Ming protecting them now, this big brother thinks it is not a loss.

Some families were happy, some were sad, Ryukyu, North Korea and other countries returned happily with gold seals, edicts, and flags, but the Toungoo envoys got nothing and were invited out of Nanjing.

Although the Dongyu envoy finally surrendered, Dongyu must be the Ming Dynasty's strong enemy in Nanyang in the future. This time, many vassals have gathered together and demonstrated their strength. The confrontation will inevitably form. Pretend nothing happened.

The Ming Dynasty wants to open up Nanyang, and there will only be more frictions with Nanyang forces in the future. If it is too weak now, there will only be more problems in the future. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty must change its previous strategy, and implement the way of the sage king internally, and externally. In the way of kingship, the attitude of the court must be tough.

The Qing Dynasty is the current enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and Dongyu is a potential enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will naturally not give the opportunity to let the two forces collude together. Feng Quan wants to contact Dongyu to find a helper for the Qing Dynasty , but before he could say a word to the Toungoo envoy, the Toungoo envoy was invited out of Nanjing by the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty hollowed out the Western Regions and made important contributions to the Han Dynasty's management of the Western Regions against the Huns.

Lu Zhuangyuan just wanted to be Zhang Qian of the Qing Dynasty, but his dream was shattered before it even started.

At this time, only the Qing envoy's family was left in Nanjing, and the Ming Dynasty's supervision of the Qing envoy was relaxed.

In the room, Feng Quan said to Lu Zhuangyuan: "Are you sure that the [-] Ming troops have already marched to North Korea?"

"What else is there to be sure of? Once the review is over, people will board the ship directly, and the North Korean envoy will accompany them. Can there be fakes?"

Feng Quan pondered for a while, stood up and said: "This matter must be reported to the imperial court immediately, including the new blunderbuss and various firearms that appeared in the Nanming review. I will write the notes right away."

"Will Nanming let us send the news back?" Lu Zhuangyuan looked at the people watching outside and frowned.

"I'll find a way!"

In fact, Dorgon could know about North Korea without Feng Quan reporting it to North Korea.

Lin Qingye went to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy, and after receiving Wang Yan's promise, he stayed in Nanjing as a deputy envoy. He returned to North Korea first, and secretly discussed with the king of Joseon and the ministers of the pro-Ming faction, and soon reached a resolution to return to the Ming Dynasty.

With the end of the Ming army's review, the Ming Dynasty appointed Gao Yuanhou Xie Qian as the Minister of Military Affairs to supervise North Korea, Ruan Mei as the deputy general, and Zhou Hezhi as the supervisor of the army. They sailed to North Korea on ships mobilized from Zhejiang.

The first batch of 1 people went ashore west of Seoul. The King of Joseon immediately arrested the ministers who were close to the Manchu Qing and beheaded the secret agents sent by the Manchu Qing to North Korea. However, North Korea had been a vassal of the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years. Impossible not to know.

Before the news of Feng Quan reached Beijing, the news of North Korea's defection to the Ming Dynasty had already spread. This was also the reason why Wang Yan asked North Korean envoys to participate in the grand parade, because there was no way to hide it.

When Dorgon got the news, he was very angry, but Daishan was going west to Mongolia, and the war had reached a critical moment, so he really couldn't spare his hands to deal with North Korea.

A few days later, Feng Quan's excerpt arrived in Beijing. After Dorgon watched it, he was very frightened and even more eager to discuss peace.

At the beginning of June, Feng Quan received news from Dorgon, asking him to negotiate a peace as soon as possible. It can be seen that after North Korea fell to the Ming Dynasty, Dorgon became more anxious.

After North Korea returned to normal, the Ming Dynasty wanted to ensure the safety of North Korea, and at the same time strengthen North Korea's strength, so that North Korea could threaten the rear of the Manchu Qing and form a check on the Manchu Qing.

Beginning in April, the Ming army began to mobilize ships and sailors to send troops and supplies to North Korea.

Xu Junsheng's task is to escort food and ships to North Korea, so as not to be harassed by Qing army ships or pirates in the Yellow Sea.

This time, he led fifty ships, loaded with food and ordnance, and set off from Nanjing. Not long after leaving the mouth of the Yangtze River, the soldiers of Wangdou shouted loudly: "General, there is a lucky boat in the north, which does not fly the Ming flag!"
