Chapter 452 Meeting the Messengers - Nanyang, Western
The people who met Yunxi later were envoys from the Three Ryukyu Kingdoms. These three countries, like Korea, were the most loyal vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. However, they would not have any major events. They just came to pay tribute and receive rewards from the Ming Dynasty.
Then came the Nanyang countries. The first one was the envoy who occupied the city. Yunxi saw that the envoy who occupied the city saluted him very respectfully, but the envoy did not stand up after Yunxi asked him to stand up, and
He said loudly: "I ask your Majesty to make the decision for our country of Champa!" and then told the story of Annan's invasion of Champa.
Yunxi thought a little irritably: 'Didn't I tell you last year to stay calm in the city? Why is it still like this this year?'
Yunxi didn't know that the reason why he sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty this year to tell the Ming Dynasty about Annan's invasion of him was because Yunxi sent troops to Nanyang to conquer Majapahit last year. The reason why so many countries came this year
The tribute was also due to the battle last year.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has always advocated world peace, he has always paid lip service to it and only sent envoys to persuade other countries but never sent troops. Therefore, except for the Ryukyu Three Kingdoms, other countries pretended to listen to the words of the Ming Dynasty at first, but later they
This was the reason why Majapayi dared not to listen to the Ming Dynasty's order to stop his troops.
But who could have imagined that the Ming Dynasty would suddenly not just talk about it, but actually send troops to attack Buchen. In the first battle, Majapahit's naval division was completely annihilated, and the land division also landed at Srivijaya to annihilate Majapayi's land division.
.
After the Ming Dynasty navy completely annihilated Majapahit's navy, the news spread quickly to almost all the countries in Southeast Asia, as if it had grown legs, causing an uproar among everyone.
At this time, people in many countries became excited. Countries that were not vassal states of the Ming Dynasty were afraid of the Ming Dynasty's conquest, so they sent people to pay tribute; countries that were vassal states in the past had not paid tribute for a long time, and they were afraid of the punishment of the Ming Dynasty.
Send people to pay tribute; and those countries that want to borrow the hand of the Ming Dynasty also send people to pay tribute. In short, everyone wants to come to the capital to see if they can achieve their goals.
Champa was no exception. The people who occupied the city thought: 'Since the Ming Dynasty can send troops to attack Majapahit thousands of miles away, it is also possible to attack Annan, which is right at home.' So they immediately sent envoys to pay tribute, thinking
Ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to uphold justice.
Although Yunxi didn't understand the reason, he couldn't agree now anyway. He just said: "I understand. Justice and justice may be late, but they will never be late." Then he let the envoys who occupied the city go out.
.
The envoy who occupied the city thought about Yunxi's words. It seemed that he planned to send troops to Annan, but he didn't send troops now?
The envoy from Champa was happy. Although his words this time were vaguer than those last year, the envoy from Champa was much more confident than last year.
The rest of the Southeast Asian countries also asked the Ming Dynasty to uphold justice. The envoy from Pahang said, "The Kingdom of Siam has been oppressing our country. Please seek justice from your majesty."
I wish to submit to the Ming Dynasty, but it has repeatedly invaded our country and the Fenni Kingdom, please your majesty to attack the unsubordinates";...
Yunxi didn't say much, not even to Zhancheng. He just let the ministers answer for him.
After a long time, Shen Shi had passed and it was You Shi, and these Nanyang countries finally finished dealing with it.
Yun He ordered the remaining countries to postpone their meetings and rest for a while.
In fact, Yunxi himself was in better condition. Chen Di, Yang Ben and Zheng Yi had been accompanying Yunxi to receive the envoys. Most of the words later were said by them, so they were even more tired. As soon as Yunxi announced that he would postpone the meeting with the envoys of the foreign countries.
, Yang Ben sat on the ground regardless of his appearance; although Chen Di and Zheng Yi did not sit on the ground, they were both very tired.
Yun He asked people to bring chairs for them to sit for a while, and then ordered the eunuch to bring tea cups. He poured them tea from his own teapot. The three of them hurriedly thanked them.
After resting for a quarter of an hour, Yunxi could not postpone the meeting with these foreign countries until tomorrow, and there was a banquet to entertain officials in Beijing and envoys from the foreign countries in the evening, so he could only continue to receive them.
Afterwards, the envoys from the two countries of Western Zori and Zori met.
Speaking of which, it is a coincidence that these two Western countries came to pay tribute. After defeating Majapahit's navy, He Rong followed Yunxi's order and sent a navy with a thousand households across Malacca to explore westward. The Kingdom of Sumatra
, which was discovered by this exploration team.
After crossing Sumatra, they continued to explore westward and entered the Indian Ocean.
The expedition team arrived at the Andaman and Nicobar Islands soon after entering the Indian Ocean. The "Southern Ocean Chronicles" brought back by Xu Jingchang wrote: "Leaving Sumatra to the west, the wind was not favorable, and it drifted to a place named Yantuoman.
, whose body is like black paint, so-called Kunlun slave. He can eat living people."
On this island, the navy of the Ming Dynasty rescued several people who looked like civilized people in clothes who were about to be eaten by the Yantuo barbarians. After questioning, Qianhu, who led the team, learned that they turned out to be Zuoli and Xiyang
The envoys from Zoli were going to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. So they brought these envoys to Srivijaya. This time Xu Jingchang and others returned to China and also brought them over.
Of course Yunxi is very interested in the West, but at present he cannot reach out to the West. At most, he can send an expedition team to explore. Therefore, Yunxi is currently very friendly to the only two Western countries in the Ming Dynasty.
After the envoys from the two Western countries retreated, it was the turn of Majapahit's envoy. Yunxi saw a dark-skinned, short middle-aged man walking in quickly, kneeling down and speaking in very standard Chinese.
He said: "The envoy of the Majapahit Kingdom, Malapashe, met His Majesty the Ming Emperor." His attitude was very respectful.
Yunxi remembered that Majapayi's envoys had never been so respectful before when they went to the Ming Dynasty. A few years ago, when Majapayi paid tribute last time, Yunxi was still accompanying Zhu Yuanzhang to receive him. At that time, Lao Zhu frowned, but didn't say anything.
.The attitude this time is completely different from last time.
'Sure enough, the prestige of a big country can still be achieved. The ancients will not deceive me.' Yunxi thought.
After Malabacher finished his apology, Yunxi said: "Although your country does not obey my will, the Ming Dynasty has always been tolerant, so I specially allow your country to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty again."
"But," Yunxi said before thanking him in Malaba, "your country must withdraw from all the territories that have invaded and occupied other countries, withdraw from Srivijaya, and withdraw from Sarawak."
Malaba paused for a moment, but immediately knelt down and agreed. Now that the situation was stronger than others, he had to accept it. The domestic discussion before his mission was: as long as the Ming Dynasty does not want Java Island and does not want too much property, other conditions
Everyone can agree.
Yunxi also issued such an order on the spot because Yang Ben had discussed it privately with Malabarshe before and was sure that they would agree to such conditions. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if they were rejected on the spot.
Chen Di said a few more words to make him retreat.
