Chapter 479: Only by combining kindness and power can all countries be conquered
Thinking of the various reactions that envoys from various countries would have at the banquet later, Zhu Yuanzhang was still excited even though he was reviewing the memorial.
In contrast, Mao Xiang and Ye Xuan were helpless at this moment.
The two of them had to prepare for security and other matters. Because it was too sudden, they could only temporarily mobilize manpower. They were already worried, fearing that something would go wrong.
As for Ye Xuan, because he was sent on an errand by Zhu Yuanzhang to train with Lan Yu, he had no choice but to give up and hang out with a group of soldiers.
Everyone knows one thing, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to this banquet.
If you can do it well, you can get a lot of benefits, but if you make mistakes, you may be in trouble.
It's okay for Ye Xuan, he has no desires and needs, but others don't have such a state of mind.
Especially Lan Yu. He was originally waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's new reward, but in the end he was waiting for such an errand.
What he was most worried about at the moment was that if something went wrong, the credit for conquering Tianzhu would be lost, and he would be punished.
Coming from a military background, he was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of losing his official position, losing military power, and becoming a trafficker and a pawn.
Afternoon, Daqing Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair, watching the envoys worshiping and offering gifts, but he was secretly thinking about how to shock these people later.
In his opinion, the flattery of these people now not only does not make him feel happy, but also makes him more and more wary.
After all, if one day, other countries become more powerful than the Ming Dynasty, and they are no longer around, then these people will turn into hungry wolves and eat the Ming Dynasty alive.
Therefore, he must tame all these countries in his lifetime so that they will not dare to resist the Ming Dynasty or covet the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at everyone's gift list, Zhu Yuanzhang waved, and someone immediately took out Daming's gift in return.
In previous years, or before Ye Xuan arrived, Ming Dynasty's return gifts were mostly porcelain, tea, gold, silver and jewelry.
But under Ye Xuan's influence, Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to invest even half a penny in the treasure.
As for tea, etc., although he was not stingy, he did not give many expensive varieties.
According to what Ye Xuan said before, these people don't understand tea at all, they are just arty, and setting aside good tea may also affect the sales of Daming tea in the future.
So in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang only used some medium and high-quality tea and some porcelain in his choice of return gifts.
For some special countries, Ming Dynasty gave away some things such as clocks and clocks, which could not only showcase Ming Dynasty's craftsmanship, but also give the other country a slap on the side.
In this regard, Ye Xuan said that this seems a bit luxurious. After all, the industries in these countries are often developing. Zhu Yuanzhang relied on these things to undermine the other party's confidence, but there was also the risk of improving the technology for him.
If it were Ye Xuan, he would not be willing to take out these, but Zhu Yuanzhang still chose to persist.
Zhu Yuanzhang believed that as long as those countries could not surpass the Ming Dynasty's technology, they could only learn from the School Disciple or surrender. By then, those people would only be used by the Ming Dynasty.
Although Ye Xuan was dissatisfied with this, he did not interfere too much. After all, Western technology is not yet developed at the moment. Ye Xuan confidently believes that his divine plan can directly crush the opponent or even block the opponent's passage. .
When the envoys looked at Ming's gifts, they were all excited, as if they had picked up a huge treasure.
"The Ming Dynasty is indeed a vast country with vast resources and extraordinary resources. Such treasures can actually be used as national gifts!"
"Yes, even the royal family has never seen such a gift. We are so lucky to be able to get it!"
Listening to everyone's words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt happy, and the officials were also secretly proud.
As for Zhu Biao, he was still confused at this moment. He didn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind temporarily, let alone why he gave these gifts.
Now that Ming Dynasty's national policy has changed, why do they still give out a large number of gifts? This puzzled Zhu Biao and at the same time he felt that he had suffered a big loss.
However, in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and the envoys were also there, Zhu Biao was puzzled but could not say much.
After everyone received the gifts, the banquet officially started.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor. Although he is present, he will not really come to eat or drink.
While everyone was chatting, Zhu Yuanzhang found out a lot of information.
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Zhu Yuanzhang directly put down his wine glass and made a suggestion to everyone.
"It's getting late today. Now that you've had enough wine and food, we might as well go out for a walk and take a look at the scenery of Ming Dynasty!"
……………Please give me flowers………………
When everyone heard the words, although they did not accept it, they also understood that "the emperor's words will not be judged and resisted."
As for the envoys and officials of the Ming Dynasty, they immediately agreed.
Soon, someone prepared carriages and horses, brought civil and military officials, and envoys from various countries to the tower of Yingtian Mansion.
Outside the city, there were already 30,000 soldiers and horses in formation. Looking from a distance, it looked like a murderous atmosphere.
Lan Yu stood at the front of the military formation. After receiving the news, he immediately made gestures to everyone.
That was the code word in the military, so someone immediately took action and the order to wake up was issued.
Not long after, the shouts of killing were loud and 30,000 soldiers shouted long live together, causing all the envoys to feel a little frightened.
But this was not the end yet. At Ye Xuan's suggestion, the army's muskets and other equipment were also loaded. After the shouts of long live ended, another burst of gunshots rang out, like thunder.
"Is this a miracle?"
"This is the weapon of the Ming Dynasty's army?"
Various speculations arose among the envoys, but Zhu Yuanzhang looked arrogant and disdainful, completely forgetting what his reaction was when he saw this in the past.
When the emperor's decree was read out, the military parade officially began.
Ye Xuan referred to military parades of later generations and combined momentum with military appearance, which quickly gave people a bright feeling.
What's more important is that these 30,000 soldiers were fought on the battlefield. Each one of them was already impressive. After careful arrangement and training, they became even more majestic.
Soon, the envoys were frightened by the Ming Dynasty's military appearance, but Zhu Yuanzhang spoke quietly at this moment.
"Everyone, most of our Ming army are athletes and heroes. Their appearance is just ordinary. If you see the imperial army and the border guards in various places, you will know what this world's strongest army looks like! "
If someone else said this, no one would believe it.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, and his status added strong persuasiveness to this rhetoric.
Coupled with the military formation below, the envoys felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's words were not an exaggeration, and the Ming army was really invincible.
Unconsciously, these people were more in awe of Daming.
