Zheng Yi walked into the palace, then quickly ran up to Yunxi and saluted him. Yunxi naturally said: "No ceremony."
After that, there was a fixed procedure, and there was nothing new. Until the end, all the inherent procedures were completed. Zheng Yi suddenly knelt down and said: "The people of this country have something to report to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." He said His Majesty the Emperor.
I am much more sincere than when I was going through the process just now.
Seeing him in this situation, Yunxi knew what he was going to say. Yunxi coughed and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Zheng Yi said: "To be honest with you, your Majesty, our North Korean Zheng family actually originated from the Zheng State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was a descendant of Shaozhengzichan..."
The first thing he said made Yunxi almost unable to bear it. Yunxi wanted to say: 'Messenger Zheng, the Zheng State in the Spring and Autumn Period was a vassal state with the same surname as the Zhou Dynasty, and its descendants should have the surname Ji.'
However, Yunxi held back because he knew that the North Korean envoy could not be Erque, and there must be an explanation later.
Sure enough, Zheng Yi went on to say: "..., after the Zheng State was destroyed by South Korea, it was already the Warring States Period when rituals and music had collapsed, and the only vassal state with the same surname in the world was the Yan State. Therefore, in order to avoid persecution,
Changed his surname to Zheng and moved to Xiaopei."
"Later, when the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Liao Kingdom and went south to destroy the Song Dynasty, my ancestors moved to Korea because of the chaos in the world."
"Now the Zheng family of Xiaopei is still in the local area, and after giving birth to Shaozhengzi, the people of the country ask your majesty to allow me, the Zheng family of Korea, to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan, to recognize their relatives in Pei County, and to worship their ancestors."
Yunxi really didn't know that there was another descendant of Zichan reproducing in Peixian County. The key point is that although Zichan was quite famous, Confucianism was popular in later generations, so the descendants of sages related to Confucianism are more famous, while others
Neither are very famous.
Yunxi didn't know whether what he said was true or false, and it was difficult to check. It had been more than 270 years since the Jin Kingdom went south. Even if the family tree was not lost, some people were still alive during the war.
It's normal for someone to die without seeing a body, so if someone sneaks into Korea and you can't be sure, it must be a fake.
And in fact, the truth or falsehood is not that important. As the first family to take the initiative to go to the Ming Dynasty to request recognition of their ancestors (the Min family was recognized by Yunxi on their own initiative), Yunxi must agree, and I believe that the local Zheng family will not
Objection, at least the Zheng family in North Korea can provide more sacrifices during the New Year sacrifices to save money for their own family.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor is actually unwilling to unite families with the same surname in various places. The emperor is the biggest obstacle to this. In fact, all families are willing to do this. If domestic families with the same surname want to unite their clans in this way,
, Yunxi would also be relatively opposed; but for the joint lineage between the Joseon family and the Ming Dynasty family, Yunxi was happy to see it happen.
However, although Yunxi has made up his mind to make Lianzong succeed, or let the Zheng family of North Korea recognize their ancestors, he cannot let them succeed too easily. Things that are easy to get are not cherished.
So Yunxi said: "It has been almost two thousand years since Zichan. Is the genealogy still clear?" He actually suspected that he was lying.
Zheng Yi actually didn't know whether his family's genealogy was true, but he immediately said: "Your Majesty, genealogy is the foundation of a clan. Even if the lives of most people in the clan are lost, as long as one person can survive, the genealogy must be preserved.
How can it be unclear!"
Yunxi made a few more difficult words, and Zheng Yi answered them one by one. Then Yunxi said: "In that case, I have given you permission to go to Peixian County, Xuzhou, Zhili to find relatives, but it is not up to me to decide whether you will be pregnant or not.
Forget it, we still need to check the genealogy with the local Zheng family."
And Yunxi had already made up his mind, and later secretly sent his trusted people to Peixian County to make things difficult for the local officials, and then asked the Zheng family to make things difficult for them again, and finally pretended to be reluctant and accepted that they were children.
The whole process will last at least more than half a year, fully making the North Korean Zheng family realize how difficult it is.
However, Zheng Yi did not know that Yun Xi had such thoughts at this time, nor did he know that he would be waiting anxiously in Peixian County for almost a year, so he happily left.
Second, the third person who came to see him was the envoy from Siam, who occupied the city. When he received them, he went through the formalities first, and then got down to business.
The Siamese envoys were very concerned about Srivijaya's affairs. Because the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty did not feel that there was any need to keep it secret, and Yunxi also felt that it was not necessary to keep it secret, so they did not care about the matter of Srivijaya sending envoys to ask for help.
I already know that, and I also know that Yunxi's general meaning is to 'dispose of justice.'
Siam was also a big country in Central and South China, so it was very concerned about this matter and carefully asked Yunxi about his plans.
Yunxi also happened to intend to mobilize the vassal states in the south. If Majapahit was disobedient, he could not let these vassal states take benefits from the Ming Dynasty and not pay any obligations.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was not a generous person in this era, the value of the gifts given to the vassal states was about the same as the tributes they paid, but that was measured by the standards of the Ming Dynasty. The value of the things given back by the Ming Dynasty was very high in Nanyang. In fact,
The vassal state still took advantage.
So Yunxi made a few remarks: If 7 ignores Ming's 'justice' and still insists on attacking Srivijaya, then Ming will definitely not give up, and Siam will also have to fulfill its 'obligations as a vassal state'.
When the Siamese envoy heard Yunxi's words, he did not dare to make any response at all, and retreated with concern.
As for the envoys from Champa that followed, they were different from the envoys from Siam. Although the envoys from Champa also knew that Srivijaya sent envoys to ask for help, Champa itself was a small country, probably in today's southern Vietnam.
, the biggest enemies are Annan and Chenla, so they pay no attention to the affairs of Srivijaya and Majapahit.
What Champa is concerned about is that the Ming Dynasty wants to uphold justice in Nanyang. Since Annan took over the power of the Li family, he has been attacking nearby countries like a gun, and he has the tendency of "using foreign wars to divert domestic attention" or "
Domestic problems are solved abroad.
Champa is located to the south of Annan, and the country is weak, so it is often attacked by Annan. If Chenla hadn't declined now, Annan would have sent troops to attack Chenla. It's hard to say whether Champa still exists today.
Champa also reported this matter to Zhu Yuanzhang before, and Zhu Yuanzhang decided not to accept Annan's tribute. Annan was honest for a while, but when he saw that Ming Dynasty had no other reaction, he began to invade neighboring countries again.
When Zhancheng saw Yunxi this time, he seemed not to be like Zhu Yuanzhang, but still a little young and energetic, so he reported the matter to Yunxi again.
Of course Yunxi has thoughts about Annan, but it is not the time yet. By sending troops now, he can punish Annan, but there is no excuse to dethrone Annan's king.
And for the Ming Dynasty at this time, although the initial cost of dispatching the navy is higher, because of the generation gap between Nanyang's national shipbuilding technology and the Ming Dynasty, in a real fight, as long as they are careful, they can eliminate the opponent's navy without much loss.
Teacher, just like Zheng He did in history.
But if the army is dispatched to fight in Vietnam, the losses will be hard to say. Referring to Zhang Fu's experience of going to Annan to fight several times in history, the losses will be huge. You made Yunxi pay a huge price just to uphold a 'justice'
?Maintaining a sense of presence in Nanyang? Such a thing cannot be done by Yun He. If the United States knew that China would send troops and could accurately predict the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, it would definitely not advance to the Yalu River when counterattacking from Inchon.
.
Therefore, Yunxi could only fool around and made some very false guarantees. He only made it clear that the Ming Dynasty would continue to implement Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of not accepting tribute from Annan. This made the envoys who captured the city leave disappointed.
Then there was the matter of Srivijaya's envoy Shi Jinqing paying tribute, which was also what Yunxi was most concerned about tonight. Yunxi cleared his throat specially and waited for Shi Jinqing to come in.
Shi Jinqing walked in quickly with anxious steps, ran to Yunxi, knelt down and saluted, and said: "Shi Jinqing, the envoy of Sanfoqi, pays homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
Yunxi felt quite happy when he heard him shouting "long live" so many times. He narrowed his eyes and enjoyed it.
Then there is the programmed process. Yunxi is very impatient, but it must be carried out.
Shi Jinqing was very nervous. Before meeting Yunxi, Shi Jinqing was very anxious, but after seeing him, he was only nervous. In addition, he was meeting the emperor of the Ming Dynasty whom he had never thought of meeting before, so
He was so nervous that he recited several words incorrectly. Fortunately, Yunxi didn't care. The officials accompanying him considered that he was only a temporary trainee, so it was already good to be like this. Yunxi didn't make any remarks, so he didn't say anything.
correct.
Then came the most critical matter of asking for Ming's support. Shi Jinqing knelt down again and told Yunxi the matter again.
After asking for a few details, Yunxi sat in his seat and pondered for a while, and then asked: "Since you said that the former king Manaja was killed by Majapahit in his house, who is the current king of Srivijaya?"
Shi Jinqing trembled for a moment, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, the person who is now the king of our Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom is, yes, a Han who left the Ming Dynasty. His name is Liang Daoming."
Then he went on to say: "In the 30th year of Hongwu, when Majapayi attacked the capital of our Srivijaya state, in addition to the house of our Lord Managaha, several of the princes were also captured. Then
He was killed by Majapahit people, and there was no legitimate heir in the country. In desperation, in order to protect the people of Srivijaya, and with the support of the people of Srivijaya, Liang Daoming became the king."
After that, he roughly talked about Liang Daoming's identity and origin, but he did not say that he came to Nanyang in the late Yuan Dynasty, but said that he was, and they all came to Nanyang in the late Song Dynasty.
Finally, Shi Jinqing said: "If the Ming Dynasty is willing to save the people of the Three Buddhas from fire and water, all the people of the Three Buddhas are willing to embrace the Ming."
