Instead of meeting the envoys from Luchuan, it would be better to meet the envoys from the surrounding countries of Luchuan. Being a neighboring country to an emerging overlord is not a comfortable thing, and I think they have tolerated it for a long time.
Unlike China, which is a country that is accustomed to being a celestial dynasty, Luchuan has no accumulation of civilization, and its interference in the internal affairs of neighboring countries is very rude and arrogant. They are just tolerant because of power.
It was also because of this that Siwafa released Wang Zhen. In the case of internal and external disharmony, even if Luchuan occupied the ground, it was impossible to compete with the Ming Dynasty.
"Let the Ministry of Rites handle the envoys from Luchuan. I will take the time to meet the envoys from Luchuan's neighboring countries and give them court clothes."
This is a conspiracy. If the news is spread back to Luchuan, it will inevitably cause them to be suspicious of their neighboring countries and suppress them. Those small countries will have a hard time explaining it, and the conflicts will only get worse.
Unless they are willing to risk their lives to sacrifice their country and merge with Luchuan, the only way left is to follow the Ming Dynasty. Maybe they are useless most of the time, but at certain critical times, they may not be unable to be used as a decisive means of victory.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and took out a secret letter stamped with sealing wax. Liu Jin bowed to take it and handed it to the prince. Then he retreated to a corner where no one would notice and lowered his head.
The seal had been opened. Zhu Biao took out the letter paper inside and read it. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Tao Meng of Jingdong and the native officials of Mosal are the backbone of the Luchuan Kingdom. Their total number of soldiers and horses is three or four."
Wan, I didn’t expect them to have a desire to surrender so early.”
Since last year, Mu Ying has sent many envoys to Luchuan in the name of peace talks. In name, it was to persuade the two countries to value peace, but in fact, it was to test the internal affairs of Luchuan.
Unexpectedly, the effect was remarkable. The chief officials of these two places actually wanted to leave Luchuan now and submit to the Ming Dynasty. They offered their land as ministers and asked the Marquis of Xiping to send troops for protection. Mu Ying was not sure whether he could trust him and promise, so he reported it.
Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously not optimistic about this: "It's not credible. Luchuan is in good shape. It has not been defeated for more than decades. The important officials of the country have no shortage of gold and silver and enjoy the power. How could they betray the country and surrender so easily?"
It’s a fraud.”
Zhu Biao said: "I have heard that the chief officials of these two places, after the death of Sihanfa, supported his eldest son Sibingfa to succeed to the throne instead of Siwafa, the current king of Luchan."
"However, what my father said is reasonable. Such important matters should not be taken lightly. It is better to win over him first and then discuss this matter after the war next year."
There was no war inside or outside last year. According to the Ministry of Revenue statistics at the end of the year, 921,124 hectares of wasteland were reclaimed in counties and counties across the country. Excluding areas with major disasters, there were many harvest celebrations. The people had a surplus of food, and local food was
The library is enriched.
Therefore, Zhu Biao was able to calmly arrange for the shipment of food and wages to Yunnan one after another. In addition, the manufacturing and transportation arrangements of firearms also took time. He agreed with the generals of the Metropolitan Governor's Office that if there were no changes, he would send troops to conquer Luchuan early next year and end his country's power in one battle!
The advantages of firearms and artillery shells will be fully demonstrated at the beginning of next year. Even if the terrain is unfavorable, they can still win with their explosive power.

In March of the eighth year of Hongwu's reign, Princess Jin was pregnant. She was overjoyed and rewarded her with a pair of Ganoderma lucidum. She gave Princess Jin's father, Duke Wei Guo Deng Yu, a red python warm robe, a jade belt, and a stipend of 500 stones.
In that month, the Mongolian Khan Enke died suddenly, and the Oara leader Mengge Timur proclaimed himself Khan. At the same time, the leaders of the Tatar Chahar tribe and the Tumut tribe also successively proclaimed themselves Khan.
The Ming Dynasty officially canonized Tianbaonu, the son of Usahar Khan, as the Khan of Mongolia. However, no one cared about it at this time. The entire Mongolian grassland was involved in endless fighting among various tribes.
.
But as time went by, not only was there not a single khan missing, but there were more than a dozen, and these later ones did not even have a trace of the blood of the Golden Family in their bodies.
Naturally, there were Ming forces involved. Although Li Wenzhong did not directly intervene in the chaos in Mongolia, his army sent out hunting from time to time, forcing many encirclement and suppression campaigns to be abandoned.
Otherwise, the leaders of the small tribes who dared to call themselves khan would have been torn apart by the furious Tatar kings long ago.
Just like before Genghis Khan appeared, the hatred between the various tribes has reached the point of incompatibility. This environment is an opportunity for heroes, but a disaster for ordinary herders.
But one thing is clear to everyone. The glory of the Golden Family seems to have dissipated. Genghis Khan, who is almost equal to the Immortal God, no longer seems to care about his bloodline.
So can we fight again to create a new golden bloodline?
Many sensible Mongolian elders rushed among the tribes, begging them to stop fighting each other and eliminate hatred, otherwise the grassland would fall under the control of the Han people.
In their view, Mongolia's current situation is far more dangerous than when Mongolia's rule in the Central Plains was overthrown and they were expelled back to the grasslands. At that time, they were just less wealthy. As long as the Central Plains weakened, the Mongolian cavalry could go south to herd horses and plunder at any time.
wealth.
But now the roots are about to be dug up. The great achievements and glorious bloodline left by Genghis Khan are the foundation of Mongolia's strength. Without these, they will completely lose everything and they will never be able to become a big phenomenon.
Unfortunately, it was too late. After Yesudieer usurped the throne, he abandoned the Han cultural traditions accumulated in the Yuan Dynasty and forcibly dragged Mongolia back to pure Mongolian customs, in an attempt to restore the power and bravery of Genghis Khan.
But he never thought that Genghis Khan could control the purely barbaric and powerful Mongols to conquer the world, but he could only kill himself and his heirs, and completely drag down the Golden Family.
………
"Killing Tianbaonu, his idea is too much."
"promise."
Quan Xu accepted the promise and left. In fact, Tianbaonu was quite honest, but according to the current situation in Mongolia, if there is one person who can really make all Mongolian tribes willing to give in, it would be him. After all, he is the real orthodoxy.
There are quite a few conservative tribal elders who are still willing to recognize Tianbaonu as the leader of the Mongolian Communist Party even if they know that he is now a puppet of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Highness, Oara must be restricted, and even Li Wenzhong is asked to send troops to encircle and suppress it. The Tatar kings are now losing each other, but Oara is still strong."
"With the support of Yesudiel and Enke, all the tribes in Wala have multiplied rapidly. In addition, they have absorbed and united other surrounding tribes, and the tribe has exceeded 60,000 households. Each household has a Dingkou, which is 60,000 kou.
A skilled horseman and an elite master of string control."
"What King Kaiping said is reasonable. We cannot just make a wedding dress for Wala. Deng Yu pointed to the terrain map of Mongolia and said: "It is better to blame the death of Tianbaonu on Timur, the Meng brother of Wala. In this way, the teacher will be famous, and all the Mongolian tribes will
Maybe they will also help with the encirclement and suppression, as Wala's strength is not good for anyone."
The minister of household affairs looked haggard, but he didn't say anything.

Li Chenggui sat on the throne with a dark face, looked at Yao Guangxiao and Jiang Side below the steps and said: "He Ning, no, it should be said that the poor people of Goryeo are weak, how can they have the energy to cross the sea to conquer Japan now?"
Jiang Side said helplessly: "Hasn't the foreign minister already explained to you that Japan will not resist in large numbers, and someone will arrange for you to land on Japanese soil."
"This is not a matter of landing. The troops mobilized are tens of thousands at least, and there is no money or food to deploy. If the emperor needs it, He would rather donate a hundred horses. The rest are really powerless."
Yao Guangxiao explained in a self-conscious manner: "Japan is now divided into the north and the south to fight against each other, and the Ezo people also established their own country at the beginning of the year..."
The more Li Chenggui listened, the more tired he became, so he simply took off the imperial crown on his head and said: "I am really powerless, so I would like to offer my land and submit to you. I also ask the imperial censor to express his gratitude to the emperor and grant wealth and honor to his descendants."
"Hey, Prince Hening, General Li, your status is getting higher and higher, but why are you becoming more and more timid and cowardly?"
"The two of us have lived in Korea for several years. We know that peace is difficult and Korea is difficult. But what does this have to do with you? I didn't let you lead troops to Japan. It's just a matter of naming tens of thousands of elite generals for the sake of wealth and honor.
Children and grandchildren should do their best."
Yao Guangxiao said: "There are no outsiders here, so why not tell the general frankly that Goryeo is too close to the Ming Dynasty, and it is difficult to establish a country on the other side of the bed, and Japan is the real land where the general founded the country."
