Chapter 142: The Great Etiquette Dispute (2)
Li Jinglong's face was squirted and Zhu Yun's head felt more and more buzzing.
I thought Zhang Jue could speak a few words of scenes to ease the atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, "Your Majesty, you must come out to welcome the princes of the small country with the honor of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"
After he said this, the people below became even more excited!
In the hearts of civil servants, etiquette and law are heaven.
Not to mention the current Ming Dynasty, the same was true for the later Qing Dynasty.
After the British envoy Macarney visited the Qing Dynasty, he told everyone that we, Da Ying, did not kneel down to the Qing emperor, and we exchanged equally.
Pooh!
The man who stamped the seal, if you don’t say anything else, just that arrogant temper, who doesn’t know?
If you don’t kneel down to him, can you see him?
Where did you come from, get out!
What kind of foreigners can't make mistakes? Which missionaries are not kneeling more easily than their own slaves?
Kneel or not, speak with strength!
At this time, the Ming Dynasty had the ability to make everyone kneel.
But in Zhu Yunyu's opinion, this kind of self-esteem in order to show his absolute authority is actually unnecessary, and it is more like a kind of red tape.
Let’s see how Xiaotian treated Xiaopu later?
If you talk about puppets, who can compare with Xiao Pu?
At least this Burmese King still has some family background, what does Xiao Pu have?
However, when Xiao Pu visited Tokyo, he first took a special train from Changchun, and then transferred to Xiaorizi's warship.
Along the way, the commander of Xiaolizi escorted him. Before he arrived in Tokyo, the Air Force came to greet him and escorted him.
After entering Xiaorizi's territory, Xiaorizi's prince, duke, prime minister and minister respectfully waited at the dock, nodded and bowed, and then sent Xiao Pu onto the special train to Tokyo.
The Emperor, who was a little shorter than Xiao Pu, also greeted him personally at the train station.
When we met, we took off our gloves, nodded and shook hands, and smiled happily and asked about our well-being.
Then the two of them took the same car to the palace like brothers.
Xiao Pu’s palace is also the most promising place for other people’s little lives.
During the visit, Emperor Xiaorizi's mother took Xiao Pu's arm and sneaked around to the Imperial Garden to whisper.
In other words, Xiao Pu may be weak, otherwise he would have been able to rise in seniority!
Just such a puppet, Xiaotian still received such a grand reception, which made Xiao Pu so fooled that he couldn't find Bei, and was so grateful!
Of course, the more obedient the puppet, the better. The one who fights against you is not a puppet, but an enemy.
This is the same as raising a son. Can you beat him all day long? In addition to beating him, you have to talk to him happily and coax him!
This also involves an essential issue, and supporting puppets requires cost!
In the future, the Ming Dynasty will invest a huge amount of manpower and material resources in Myanmar. At this stage, an obedient puppet can bring more than 100,000 troops.

"The Burmese King is ultimately different from other vassal kings!"
On the throne, Zhu Yunxiu spoke slowly, "In the past, the vassal states around our Ming Dynasty were all foreign vassals, and the imperial court only had him pay tribute to him. In the future, the internal power of the Burmese state was in the hands of our Ming Dynasty!"
"I think that the more this happens, the less we can't be slower!" Zhu Yunxiu said, making a gesture of calmness and continuing, "My dear friends, my Ming Dynasty's campaign for Myanmar this time is not just the Ming Dynasty and Myanmar.
The country's affairs!"
"Other vassal states, such as Annan, are also watching. If our Ming Dynasty regards Myanmar as a slave, what do other vassal states think? This time, the military was used in Myanmar for the unification of the Burmese state and for the small state ancestral temples."
Some things cannot be told.
Although everyone knows it well, it must be said to be nice.
He attaches great importance to and preferential treatment for the Burmese King so that he can willingly serve the Ming Dynasty. I think the Burmese King is not a fool, a useful obedient puppet may not die in the end. But a disobedient puppet will definitely not end well.
The greatest function of his puppet is that it is beyond war and cannot be replaced by war. Because the Burmese country is not affiliated with the traditional Chinese and Xia civilization circle like Goryeo, and is not as easy to assimilate as Goryeo.
"What's more, my Ming Dynasty's border is eternal!" Zhu Yunxiu said again, "If not, other foreign countries would think that our Ming Dynasty would seek its territory and treat it as an enemy!"
In fact, he didn't have the confidence to say this.
When the old man was there, the surrounding countries were very at ease with the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty did not attack us, at most they would ask for tribute.
But now this emperor beats anyone who is easy to bully, and he is happy!
Goryeo swallowed it, and supported the puppet in Myanmar, and the idea of fighting was obvious.
"In the future, not only the Burmese kings will come to my Ming Dynasty to meet the tribute, but also the lord of Japan and the lord of Annan..."
"Emperor!" Xin Yande suddenly spoke, "What do you mean is that you will use troops to Annan in the future?"
"Buzz!"
In the court, it was like a pot suddenly.
Is there still a life in the Ming Dynasty? The emperor thought about the Guizhou military warriors all day long...
"Emperor!" Bao Zhao stood up and said, "Although Annan is small, it is an orderly country with a large population. The country has always been respectful to our Ming Dynasty. Why did the emperor become a conquering battle?"
"Annan is not a country where the local kings of Burma and other countries are divided. The country uses no less than 200,000 troops, and the people of Annan are rebellious and warlike!" Censor Yang Jing also said, "Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Our dynasty still resists Goryeo, Myanmar is using troops, and the Battle of Japan is also involved!" Ru Wei, the Minister of War, also shook his head and said, "If the war starts in Annan again, my Ming Dynasty will be too heavy!"
"When did I say I would conquer Annan?" Zhu Yunxiu said angrily, "What are you trying to misinterpret my intention?"
Of course he didn't want to hit Annan, but he just didn't think about it now.
The reason why we have to take down Myanmar territory now is to prepare for the future use of troops to Annan.
At this time, Myanmar was not only a large part of the map, but also a piece later in Laos and even a piece in Siam.
These places are integrated, and in addition to Yunnan bordering Annan, there is also a sea route that starts from the Qiongzhou Strait, directly sweeping the holes and mountain to press the top.
Moreover, when the troops were used against Annan, Burmese, Laotian, and Siamese could be used as vanguards, and military rations and even military expenses could be raised on the spot.
All of this forced Zhu Yunqi to pay special attention to the puppet of the Burmese King. A regime in the surface is also a regime, and the role that a regime can play is definitely greater than that of foreign troops.
But at present, in the face of this kind of etiquette dispute between countries, these civil servants are indifferent to the situation.
"I am tired, I will do this today! Let's discuss it tomorrow!" Zhu Yunxiu stood up and left with his sleeves.
~~
"Long live the anger!"
The small court will dissipate, and in the warm pavilion, Zhu Yunqi leaned against the Arhat bed and closed his eyes to rest.
Li Jinglong sat blankly on the round stool opposite him, and smiled, "In such a great ritual battle, the civil servants seemed to have been dug up their ancestral graves, and their words were understandable!"
Zhu Yunxiu half opened his eyes, "Do you know, I remembered alone at this moment!" He said, sighing, "Oh, if he were here, I wouldn't be alone!"
"Who?" Li Jinglong's heart suddenly became alert.
"Fatty Zhu?" he said to himself, "Fang Xiaoru?"
"You must not guess!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled and sat upright, "I am thinking that if Li Zhigang was in the capital at this moment, he would definitely be able to help me in this matter!"
"That guy..." Li Jinglong said in his heart, "When did he get so proud of the emperor?"
Suddenly, Li Jinglong noticed a trace of danger in his heart.
"It's not a big deal, why don't civil servants allow it?" Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, "Not only do it, but also look like that, they are united and insist on quarrel with me!"
"Your Majesty, I have a compromise at that time!" Li Jinglong said.
"Speak!"
"The ministers simply don't want you to go there in person, the emperor... In fact, I also think that your personal greeting is too big for the Burmese King!" Li Jinglong continued, "It's better to... let the prince leave the city."
