Spain also sent envoys to protest against Ming's sinking of their free-roaming warships, and demanded compensation from Ming for losses and lower tariffs.
Minister Honglusi did not see them at all, and appointed a small official to clearly express Daming's position to them. The warship of Ming Dynasty was performing official duties in its own waters. Their warship entered Daming waters without authorization and was sunk at their own risk.
The ambassador of the Netherlands jumped up in anger and threatened Honglu Temple. If the matter is not taken seriously, the Netherlands will send a large number of warships to maintain the stability of the voyage.
The Minister of Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty sneered at this, and showed his attitude towards the Netherlands and Spain.
No matter how many warships they send, as long as they dare to enter the Daming waters and sink them all, they can declare war if they refuse to accept it.
Both the Netherlands and Spain already know that the current Ming Dynasty is far from being comparable to the previous Ming Dynasty.
Not only is the attitude tough, but the strength of the navy has also been greatly improved, and even iron-clad warships have appeared, and they all left in despair in the end.
Now Da Ming is very tough in diplomacy, no matter what country it is, it is impossible for Da Ming to make concessions. The purpose of Da Ming to do this is to improve the status of the Chinese in the world.
From the late Yuan Dynasty, the national power began to weaken. The Mongolian Empire that swept across Europe and Asia in those days has become empty, and the whip of God can no longer twitch.
For those western countries, a sick tiger is not as good as a cat. Many countries no longer pay tribute to the Yuan Dynasty and directly cut off diplomatic relations, let alone seeing the emperor.
Since Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ruled Huaxia, he worked hard to develop production, and gradually restored China's vitality, and its national strength gradually became stronger.
After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di came to the throne, he made great efforts to govern. Zheng He made six trips to the west, and the national power of the Ming Empire reached its peak, and its reputation spread far and wide.
At this time, those vassal states that had severed their ties began to pay tribute to Beijing again. As the national power of Ming Dynasty gradually weakened, those vassal states that were like grass on the wall once again disappeared while playing with Daming.
From Zhu Youjian to the beginning of the counterattack against the capital, he killed the rogue bandits and exterminated Dongyao and Meng Yuan, completely relaxed the sea ban, killed corrupt officials and carried out commercial and land reforms, and the national power began to grow again.
Then defeated Portugal and took back Macau, crossed the Taiwan Strait in a typhoon, wiped out the colonists of the Netherlands stationed in Taiwan, and later sank a free-navigating Spanish warship.
This series of operations made those small countries start to send envoys to Beijing to face the saints, hoping to establish diplomatic relations with Ming Dynasty and to start business with Ming Dynasty.
"The great sage announced that foreign envoys will come to visit."
As the little eunuch screamed, envoys from five small countries in the Northwest and Central Asia entered the Hall of the Emperor. They looked up at the majestic emperor of the Celestial Dynasty on the Dragon Throne, and hurriedly bowed down on the hall.
"The envoys of the Zhungeer Khanate pay homage to the Ming Emperor Long Live, and send greetings to His Majesty the Ming Emperor on behalf of the great Zhungeer Khanate Great Khan."
"The envoys of the Heshuo Khanate paid homage to the Emperor of Ming, and on behalf of the Great Khan, sent greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming! The Heshuo Khanate is willing to submit to Daming sincerely, and enters the palace every year, hoping to be protected by Ming."
……
……
The envoy of the Yarkand Khanate was the sixth to enter the Huangji Hall. The envoy Kashgar Governor Hassan still had a bruised nose and a swollen face. After entering the Huangji Hall, he did not bow down to Zhu Youjian.
Instead, he bowed to the Ming emperor Zhu Youjian on the dragon chair:
"The envoys of the Yarkant Khanate have met His Majesty Daming, and this envoy sends greetings to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty on behalf of the Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate."
After Hassan finished speaking, without waiting for Zhu Youjian to speak, he immediately turned to look at Zhu Youjian, and suddenly his face changed and he stood on the spot:
"This person looks familiar, I seem to have seen him somewhere before, oh yes, it was the person who robbed me of a private room at the Royal Hotel that day, I didn't expect him to be the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."
Hassan quickly recognized Zhu Youjian, and felt even more uncomfortable at the time. His current appearance was given by Zhu Youjian, so he immediately looked straight at Zhu Youjian with his head upright.
Hassan thought that when there was a conflict in the hotel that day, the Emperor of Ming probably thought he was a fake envoy and beat him up. In court today, the Emperor of Ming would never embarrass him, after all, there was the mighty Yarkand Khanate standing behind him.
"Bold Messenger, why don't you kneel when you see the Heavenly Pilgrim, kneel down."
Just as Hassan was thinking about how he should speak to Zhu Youjian about being beaten in the hotel, there was a thunderous roar from the hall.
Hassan was taken aback, and hurriedly followed the voice to look around, only to see that all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were glaring at him.
Especially those majestic military officers, their eyes stared like copper bells, and they seemed to want to tear him apart at any time.
Thinking that he still has a lot of bargaining chips, the kid quickly calmed down, and his words were still just as arrogant:
"This emissary is the eldest son of the Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate, the future Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate, and your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty should be on an equal footing. We are here to make peace this time. We can only marry the princess to the Yarkand in the Ming Dynasty. In the case of the Khanate, the Yarkand Khanate will become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and at this time, the envoy must pay respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
In his mind, he had decided that Daming would take advantage of the powerful Yarkand Khanate in exchange for a princess, so there was no reason why he would not want it, unless the emperor of Ming Dynasty was out of his mind.
Chapter 468
discord,
don't cede land,
no compensation,
no tribute,
The emperor guards the gate of the country,
The default sub-chapter [67] The king died in Sheji.
This is the ancestral motto of the Ming Dynasty. I don't know whether Hassan did it on purpose or was ignorant.She actually insisted on asking Princess Daming to marry her.
If he knew the history of Daming, he would know that even if Daming were to perish, they would never trade women for peace.
The Ming Dynasty has a history of more than 200 years. There are all kinds of emperors. There are good emperors and bad emperors.
The righteous Ming Dynasty, although the individual military record is not the best in the world, but the Ming Dynasty is the only empire in the history of the world with more than a century of dynasties that has not signed any unequal treaties with other countries and forces.
Many people always think that Ming Yingzong's capture in Tumubao is a great shame and a sign of incompetence.
However, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was also besieged by the Xiongnu soldiers on Baideng Mountain for seven days and seven nights. Tang Xuanzong was also driven out of Chang'an by the Hu rebels. The shame of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty was even more hatred through the ages.
However, Han Gaozu's final solution was to adopt Chen Ping's strategy and give gifts to Shan Yu's Yan family to escape danger.
The Tang Dynasty regained Chang'an by borrowing elite soldiers from Huihe, while Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty was even more ashamed to pay tribute to the Jin people
However, the Ming Dynasty categorically rejected Mongolia's request for property in exchange for Yingzong.
In the Ming Dynasty, since Yongle Emperor Zhu Di moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing, the emperor of Ming Dynasty personally guarded the gate of the country on the front line.
Before Li Zicheng captured Beijing at the end of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen definitely had time to retreat to Nanjing, but Chongzhen was determined not to retreat.
And its purpose is to lead by example and give the world the confidence that "the whole country can be restored" (the version that many people saw was tampered with by the Eastern Captivity regime, and of course it has been discredited)
At the last moment, Emperor Chongzhen still said: "I will remove the crown and cover my face with hair, and let the thieves split my body, so as not to hurt a single person."
On the other hand, the three emperors in the heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong can be said to be famous emperors in the history of Dongqiao.But they also signed a lot of unequal treaties!
Kangxi signed the Nerchinsk Treaty and lost the land north of the Outer Xing'an Mountains.
Yongzheng signed the Kyakhta Treaty in the fifth year, and Russia occupied more than 10 square kilometers of land in the south and southwest of Lake Baikal in China;
It is quite ironic that the ancestors of Dongyu have a saying: throw away the size of the land and lose one point of territory, that is, I love the descendants of Xinjueluo!
