"According to the purpose"
The five father and son got along very well together, and they also had lunch together at noon.
In the afternoon, Zhu Youjian did not go to court, but passed on that he intended to entertain the ministers at the Royal Hotel to celebrate the seizure of overseas territories.
And the soldiers who participated in the war also held a banquet in the barracks to celebrate, and all the wine and food were provided by the court.
Soldiers who did not participate in the battle were rewarded with a dragon coin. Don't underestimate a dragon coin, it is worth one tael of silver!
Today, Daming Honglu Temple is also very lively. After hearing that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty came back, Ryukyu Prince Shangxian immediately came to Honglu Temple.
Zhou Lishun was discussing with the Prince of Ryukyu about meeting the emperor when suddenly a guard came to report:
"My lord, the envoys of the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and England seek to see you."
It turned out that the envoys from the four countries had also received news of the triumphant return of the Ming Emperor, and they rushed to Honglu Temple immediately.
Zhou Lishun smiled at Shangxian and said:
"I will arrange for the son to meet with the Holy Majesty as soon as possible, let's talk about this first today!"
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, you go to work, Shangxian bid farewell!"
After Shangxian left, Zhou Lishun's expression darkened:
"Come here, let the envoys of the four countries come in."
"Yes"
Soon, envoys from the four colonial countries entered the hall of the Honglu Temple.
Seeing Zhou Lishun, Minister of Honglu Temple of Ming Dynasty sitting there, they hurriedly clasped their fists together and said:
"Lord Zhou, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has returned, and our envoys from the four countries have requested to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."
This is straight to the point, without further ado, I will see the Emperor of Ming directly.
Zhou Lishun gave the four of them a cold look and said:
"Your Majesty has just returned to the capital after a long journey, and there are many things that need to be dealt with. Wherever you have time to see you, your envoy can just talk to me directly if you have something to say."
Netherlands envoy:
"Master Zhou, we have told you many times, but you still haven't answered us. We need to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."
"That's right, our four countries strongly demand to meet the Emperor Daming. Can you Honglu Temple be the master of the matter of the Ming army occupying our territory?"
"The Kingdom of Portugal asked Daming to lease Macau to us again, and the Kingdom will pay the rent."
"The Kingdom of England requires Ming to open up trade and reduce tariffs..."
The envoys of the four countries challenged Zhou Lishun, the Minister of Honglu Temple, and they thought they were making a legitimate request.
Daming Honglu Siqing snorted coldly:
"Since Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Luzon and Java were the kingdoms of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, you might not even have grown hairs, but you dared to say that it was your territory.
It is considered extremely tolerant that Daming did not ask you for huge compensation, but you are a group of greedy white-eyed wolves, and even invaded my Daming Taiwan and the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong.
In order to protect our Chinese people and territorial integrity, the Great Tomorrow Army sent troops to Luzon and Java.
What we are taking back is Daming's own vassal state, which is quite normal.
Also, as for which country my Ming Dynasty does business with and which country it doesn’t, that’s my Ming’s business, and you don’t need to point fingers here. "
The envoys of the four countries were stunned by the righteous words of the Minister of Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty.
Daming Honglu Siqing has always been quite angry when speaking, but now he is so tough, he is pointing their noses and scolding them.
The envoys of the four countries looked at me and I looked at you, and were speechless for a while, and it took a long time to realize: .
"Master Zhou, what did you say? Did we hear correctly?"
"Master Zhou, Daming has always convinced people with virtue, isn't this your diplomatic style?"
"Master Zhou, if Daming is so strong, we will jointly boycott and prevent your goods from reaching Europe..."
"Master Zhou, our kingdom spans across the ocean, and no one has ever dared to talk to us like that..."
The envoys of the Four Kingdoms reacted and immediately started to fight back against Zhou Lishun, with a threatening tone in his tone.
But they forgot one thing, the Ming army had already destroyed their colony, so how could they still talk to them in a low voice.
A weak country has no diplomacy, but now Ming is not a weak country, it has become a giant.
Zhou Lishun sneered for a while, and his tone became even colder:
"The small country dares to break ground on Da Ming's head. If you don't accept it, just send troops to fight. The current emperor said that as long as someone calls for attack on Daming's cargo ship, Da Ming doesn't mind destroying the country. Send it!"
After Zhou Lishun finished speaking, he got up and left, not giving the envoys of these four small countries a chance to speak.
"Master Zhou, you Daming...you Daming is too rampant..."
The envoys of the four countries were immediately left on the spot, trembling with anger.
They have been rampant all over the world for many years, and they even wiped out an ancient civilization with a few hundred people, yet they were ignored by Da Ming.
What's more, he didn't expect that Daming not only has a powerful army, but also has unreasonable diplomats.
Of course it's unreasonable, it's just the double standards of their Western powers.
Chapter 653: Belonging to Ryukyu
After being stunned at Honglu Temple in Daming, the envoys of the four colonial countries had no choice but to leave in resentment.
Will they be willing to give up their colony?of course not.
Whether it was Java once controlled by the Netherlands, or Luzon once controlled by Spain.
They are all important bases and trade centers in Asia, and they will never give up easily.
After returning to the embassy, the envoys of the four countries discussed again, and then sent someone to send a letter back.
Report the situation here and Ming's attitude to the supreme ruler of the kingdom, and ask the four countries to send a large-scale joint fleet to recover the colony.
At that time, it was not as developed as it is now. You could fly or take a fast boat to reach your country in the shortest time with navigation.
When their letters will be delivered to the king depends entirely on luck and weather. If they are unlucky and encounter a hurricane, they may never be delivered.
