Instead of meeting the envoys of Luchuan, it is better to meet the envoys of neighboring countries of Luchuan Kingdom. It is not a comfortable thing to be a neighboring country of an emerging overlord, and they have endured it for a long time.
Different from the habitual celestial kingdom of China, Luchuan has no accumulation of civilization, and its interference in the internal affairs of neighboring countries is very rude and arrogant. They are just forbearing because of power.
It is also because of this that Siwafa released Wang Zhen. In the case of internal and external disharmony, even if Luchuan occupies the terrain, it is impossible to compete against Daming.
"Let the Ministry of Rites deal with the envoys of Luchuan. My ministers take the time to meet the envoys of Luchuan's neighboring countries and reward them with court clothes."
This is a conspiracy. When the news spreads back to Luchuan, it will inevitably arouse their suspicion and suppression of neighboring countries, and those small countries are hard to argue with, and the contradictions will only intensify.
Unless they are willing to go all out and contribute to the country and merge into Luchuan, the only way left is to follow Daming. Maybe they are useless most of the time, but they may not be used as a decisive means at certain critical times.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and took out a secret letter sealed with wax. Liu Jin bowed to take it and delivered it to the prince, then retreated to a corner where no one would pay attention and hung his head.
The seal has been opened, Zhu Biao took out the letter paper inside and looked at it, couldn't help laughing and said: "Jingdong Taomeng and Moshal's native officials are the backbone of Luchuan Kingdom, and their soldiers and horses add up to three or four Wan, I didn't expect them to have the heart of submitting so early."
Since last year, Muying has sent many envoys to Luchuan in the name of peace talks, in name to persuade the two countries to regard peace as the most important thing, but actually to test the internal affairs of Luchuan.
Unexpectedly, the effect was significant. The chief officials of the two places actually wanted to leave Luchuan now and return to Daming, offering soil as a vassal, and asking Xipinghou to send troops to protect. Mu Ying didn't know if he could trust and promise, so he reported it.
Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously not optimistic about this: "It's not enough to believe that Luchuan is very good. It has not been defeated for more than ten years. Its state officials have no shortage of gold and silver to enjoy their prestige. How could it be so easy to betray the country and surrender? Xu It's a fraud."
Zhu Biao said: "I have heard that the chief officials of these two places, after Sihanfa's death, supported his eldest son Sibingfa's succession, not the current Luchuan king Siwafa."
"However, what the father said is reasonable, such an important matter should not be trusted. It is better to win over first, and we will discuss this matter after the First World War next year."
Last year there was no internal or external war. According to statistics at the end of the year by the Ministry of Household Affairs, there were 921,124 hectares of wasteland reclaimed in counties and counties across the country. The library is enriched.
Thus, Zhu Biao was able to calmly arrange for the food and payment to be shipped to Yunnan one after another. In addition, the production and transportation of firearms would take time. He agreed with the generals of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion that if there is no change, he will send troops to conquer Luchuan early next year.
The benefits of firearms and shells will be fully demonstrated at the beginning of next year. Even if the terrain is unfavorable, they can rely on their explosive power to win.

In March of the eighth year of Hongwu, the concubine of Jin was pregnant. She was blessed with a gift of Ruyi and a pair of Ganoderma lucidum. The father of the concubine of Jin was given a red python warm robe, a jade belt, and a salary of five hundred stones.
It was the month when Enke, the Mongolian Khan, died suddenly. Mengge Timur, the leader of Oirat, proclaimed himself Khan on his own.
Daming officially conferred the title of Usahar Khan’s son, Tianbaonu, as the Mongolian Khan, but no one cared about it at this time, and the entire Mongolian grassland was involved in endless fighting by the Khan disputes among various tribes. .
But there was not one missing Khan under the name, but more than a dozen more, and these later ones didn't even have the blood of the Golden Family.
Naturally, there are dark hands of Ming Dynasty in it. Although Li Wenzhong did not directly intervene in the chaos in Mongolia, his army sent out hunting and hunting from time to time, which forced many encirclement and suppression campaigns to end.
Otherwise, those leaders who dared to claim Khan's small tribe would have been torn to pieces by the furious Tatar kings.
Just like before Genghis Khan appeared, the hatred among the tribes has reached the point where fire and water cannot be tolerated. Such an environment is an opportunity for heroes, but it is a disaster for ordinary herdsmen.
Then, is it possible to fight again to create a new golden bloodline?
Many rational Mongolian elders ran among the various 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, the current situation of Mongolia is far more dangerous than Mongolia’s rule in the Central Plains. It was dangerous when they were expelled back to the grassland. wealth.
Now the roots are about to be dug out. The glorious bloodline left by Genghis Khan is the foundation of Mongolia's prosperity. Without these, they will completely lose everything and never become a big climate.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. After Ye Sudie'er 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 Mongolia to conquer the world, but he could only kill himself and his sons, and drag the Golden Family down completely by the way.

"Killing Tianbaonu, his thoughts are a bit too much."
"No."
Quan Xu left as promised. In fact, Tianbaonu is quite honest, but according to the current situation in Mongolia, if there is really one person who can make all the Mongolian ministries willing to back down, that is him. After all, he is the real orthodox.
There are a considerable number of conservative tribal elders, even if they know that Tianbaonu is now a puppet of Ming Dynasty, they are still willing to admit that he is the co-lord of Mongolia.
"Your Highness, Oirat must be restricted, and even Li Wenzhong must be sent to encircle and suppress. The Tatar kings are now consuming each other, but Oirat is still strong."
"Relying on the establishment of Yasudier and Enke, all the tribes of Oara have been multiplied rapidly. In addition to absorbing and uniting with other tribes around them, the tribe has broken through 60,000 households, and each household can get 60,000 yuan for one Dingkou A seasoned horse and an elite master of war."
"King Kaiping's words are reasonable. It is true that we can't just make a wedding dress for Oara. Deng Yu pointed to the topographical map of Mongolia and said: "It is better to blame the death of Tianbaonu on Oara Mengge Timur. Such a teacher is famous, and all Mongolian tribes Maybe they will also help in the encirclement and suppression. It is not good for anyone to be strong. "
Tobu Shangshu 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 under the steps and said: "He Ning, no, it should be said that the poor in Korea are weak, how can it be possible to cross the sea to conquer Dongying now?"
Jiang Side said helplessly: "Didn't the foreign minister already explain to you that Dongpu will not resist in large groups, and someone will arrange for you to take advantage of the situation to board the land of Dongpu."
"This is not a matter of landing. This mobilization of troops, let alone tens of thousands, has no money and food to allocate. If the Celestial Empire needs it, He would rather donate a hundred horses. The rest is really powerless."
Yao Guangxiao explained to himself: "Dongying is now divided into north and south, and Japan and Japan are fighting each other, and the Ainu people and the beginning of the year also established their own country..."
The more Li Chenggui listened, the more tired he became, so he simply took off the crown bestowed on his head: "I can't do anything about it, I would like to offer soil to my servant, and I also ask the imperial censor to show up to the sage, and bestow wealth and honor to prolong the descendants."
"Hey, King Hening, General Li, your status is getting higher and higher, but why are you becoming more and more timid?"
"The two of us have lived in Korea for several years. I 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 Dongying. But the matter of naming tens of thousands of elite generals is for the sake of wealth and honor. Children and grandchildren, you should do your best."
Yao Guangxiao said: "There are no outsiders here, so it is better to tell the general that Koryo is too close to Daming, and it is not easy to establish a country on the side of the couch, and Dongying is the real land for the general to establish a country."
