Daming is so strong!
For Yin Teng Bowen and others, they were in an unprecedented state of shock from the day they entered the Ming Dynasty.
After crossing the Pacific Ocean all the way and arriving in the New World, they learned that the United States was the main victim of Japan, and it was the United States that opened Japan's borders back then.
The country of Rice was bombarded by the Ming Dynasty!
Bombed the United States and captured the Americans!
Then the United States shamefully gave in!
From then on, Ming Dynasty left a strong impression on them.
After arriving in Daming, the shock they felt was indescribable.
From Linhai to Nanhua, they saw not only the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also the staggeringly powerful industry of the Ming Dynasty. In the industrial zone of dozens of miles in Nanyuan, there were towering chimneys everywhere, stretching as far as the eye can see.
The factory building at the end is filled with roaring machines. Even at night, the factory looks like daylight under the illumination of electric lights.
What a bizarre world there is, it is clearly... an industrial power that promotes science and innovation.
In the wasteland of southern South China, they witnessed military exercises again. Tens of thousands of troops were conducting military exercises on the vast land of the Patagonian Plateau. Heavy artillery roared and infantry advanced. In the air, airships roared in, sweeping the people on the ground.
Everything was razed to the ground.
All this belongs to Ming Dynasty!
Daming ah...
This word sounds so far away!
When they first heard about the Ming Dynasty, it was still called "Nanhua", and they were stunned for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that they learned from Westerners that "Nanhua" is a "little power" in South America, they would probably have fought with the Ming Dynasty in Ryukyu.
Already.
However, fortunately, they did not act recklessly at that time - there was no way. In the more than ten years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the lesson that they would suffer if they acted recklessly was too profound.
The Satsuma clan acted recklessly, but what was the result?
The ship was destroyed and everyone was killed!
As a result, the "South-Japan Treaty of Friendship and Trade" was also signed. Now it seems that it was so wise to be "cowardly" at the beginning!
Meiji was really wise!
Now, we finally arrived in Yingtian!
Fortunately, Yingtian City did not exceed the understanding of Yin Teng Bowen and others - this is a Western city!
"This is the Western style!"
Sitting in the BMW car provided by the Ming Dynasty government, Yin Teng Bowen and others finally found some of the "Western scenery" they had imagined.
But at this moment, Obo Kutsuichi said from the side.
"Yo Xi, we only thought that Nanyuan and Nanhua were a symbol of the strength of the Ming Dynasty. But from today's perspective, Ying Tiantian is a symbol of the strength of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Why is this?"
"Yin Tengjun, look out the window. It is full of Western charm. There are many Western people walking on the street. Who would have thought that a few years ago, this was the capital of Argentina and the people of Argentina. But today, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The so-called Argentines are just a group of people who have subjugated their country. The Ming Dynasty is so powerful! This city is too!"
For a moment, the car was filled with voices of approval. The "Western charm" was clearly the mark of a loser!
Finally, the Japanese mission's motorcade arrived at the Royal Palace - this palace is Western-style, and of course... well, it is proof of Ming Dynasty's military might, because this was once the presidential palace of Argentina.
I finally met His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Do I need to kowtow three times and bow nine times?
Just when Iwakura Tomoshi and others were thinking about what etiquette they should do, they saw the Ming Emperor in military uniform sitting on a chair with a smile.
Iwakura Tomoshi and others quickly walked up and bowed in the Japanese style of ninety degrees.
"His Majesty the Ming Emperor is well!"
In fact, for a moment, he wanted to kneel down, but after seeing the white navy uniform on the Ming Emperor, he immediately changed his mind.
Emperor Zhu Da nodded and said with a smile:
"My lords, there is no need to meet outsiders. Tomorrow, the monarch and his ministers will meet again after more than two hundred years. Why should we be so divided? Although I have restored the Ming Dynasty in America, I am still orthodox in China. Japan, Korea, and Vietnam are all vassals of the Ming Dynasty! All you have to do is act
Just be courteous!"
Hearing this, Tomomi Iwakura, Hirofumi Yinto, Kutsuichi Obo and others all trembled in their hearts. Kido Takayoshi, who is also one of the three heroes of the Reform, has a somewhat impulsive personality and immediately said loudly:
"His Majesty the Ming Emperor is surprised. When did Japan become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty? We are all ministers of the Japanese Empire. Why should we pay homage to the Ming Emperor!"
"Are the Japanese deceiving me that the country's power declined during the Ming Dynasty, and that they want to regret that they will become vassals in the future?"
Emperor Zhu Da's face was stern, and his majesty without anger overwhelmed everyone.
Emperor Zhu Da is very tall!
Daming is very strong!
The invisible pressure made Kido Takayun feel nervous, but he still said.
"Japan never surrendered to the Ming Dynasty? How can it say that it regrets it?"
In fact, Emperor Zhu was actually fearless when it came to nominal things like vassalage, but this was related to the Ming Dynasty's "legal authority" over Japan in the future.
"Mu Qing's words are wrong. More than two hundred years ago, Emperor Shenzong conferred Japan as a vassal state. Japan declared itself a vassal state at that time. Hideyoshi also accepted the canonization from the Ming Dynasty, and accepted the imperial crown, court uniforms, and gold given by the Ming Dynasty.
To print three treasures, even the Tokugawa family used the name of a vassal of the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute. Why, if this side falls, won't you recognize the old master!"
Everyone was stunned, not to mention everyone else, even Yin Teng Bowen was dumbfounded and hurriedly defended:
"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding about this matter. Japan has only respected the emperor for thousands of years. Even the shogunate is only a minister of the emperor. Since he is a minister of the emperor, how can he claim to be a minister to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Huh, the certificate and the gold seal are all there. Do you want to regret it?"
With a cold snort, Emperor Zhu Da said,
"It doesn't matter, you and I have broken our trust for more than two hundred years, but I still miss the old feelings and do not want to pursue your crimes. After you return to Japan, it will not be too late to seek confirmation from the great names and the Tokugawa family!"
In fact, Iwakura Tomomi and Oboku Totsuichi are not just pretending to be confused - they don't know about this at all!
Unlike Lee's North Korea, which believed "it is the greatest honor to be Ming Dynasty's dog", Japan has never truly professed its authority.
That's not to say that the Japanese don't have the heart to submit themselves. The most important thing is that they are separated by the sea.
Isn't the Emperor of Mountain Gao far away?
However, it does not mean that the Japanese have never professed the title of vassal. The Muromachi shogunate did indeed declare vassal status to Emperor Jiajing, but in fact this was just a little trick played by the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. This thing was called the king of Japan.
In name, he professed his vassal status to the Ming Dynasty and asked for canonization. His purpose was just to defraud the tribute trade.
Of course, this matter is definitely not as good as the Ming Dynasty canonizing Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the "King of Japan". At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi put on the prince's robe of the Ming Dynasty in front of the famous names from all over the world, received the gold seal, and was awarded the title.
, perform five bows, bow your head three times, and call out the salute.
There was no way this matter could be rectified, and all the daimyo in Japan were watching at that time. After the Tokugawa family took over the world, they even used a gold seal to give the Ming Dynasty a letter of credence.
But it doesn't matter whether they admit it or not, as long as they have this historical background, things will be easy to handle.
The Japanese themselves have "physical evidence". In this regard, Japan is much more upright than Smecta, the largest country in the universe. Even in the 21st century, they are still showing the gold seal to the world openly.
As for whether the Japanese will recognize the minister whom Toyotomi Hideyoshi was consecrated to in the future, it is of course not up to them to choose.
Biquge
In this world, everything is spoken by fists. As long as the strength is sufficient, Japan will definitely be "since ancient times"!
