Chapter 472 Tianzhu actually wants to be included
"Foreign Minister Tona, by order of my king, I pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the previous dynasty!"
This envoy Tona was not a pure citizen of Tianzhu, but he was able to send an envoy because he was proficient in many languages and had the favor of the new king.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment, although he was frightened in his heart, he still maintained a calm and steady posture on the surface.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, feeling that this person was not too useless.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already obtained the information about Tona from Jin Yiwei, so he naturally knew the origin of this person.
So, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked casually: "I heard that your hometown is near the Ganges River. I heard in the scriptures that the Ganges River is deep and sandy. I don't know if it is true or false?"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Tona couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he still answered immediately.
"The Ganges is wide and indeed sandy, but it is nothing compared to the rivers, lakes and seas of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly benefited from these words, and his complexion relaxed a lot.
He continued to ask: "You people of Tianzhu have used troops against neighboring countries and killed countless people. It can be said that it is a rage from heaven and people. We had no choice but to send troops and horses to impose some punishment. Fortunately, your king did not persist in your obsession, and Tianzhu was able to save. Now you guys Come to Ming Dynasty, do you want to declare war?"
Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's rare elegance, Ye Xuan just felt a little funny.
Natona was a little frightened and quickly kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and explained.
"Your Majesty, we have absolutely no intention of doing this. This time our king is sending foreign ministers here to beg you to submit your request to your majesty, the emperor, and to the Great Ming Dynasty, so that you can become your ministers and pay tribute as your vassal!"
After saying that, he immediately waved to the deputy envoy beside him, indicating to the envoy to get the credentials.
After borrowing the credentials, Toner quickly raised it over his head and walked forward on his knees to show his intention.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he frowned slightly and didn't know how to reply.
This time Tianzhu sent an envoy, which was different from the past. According to past practice, the envoy should submit the credentials to Honglu Temple, then forward them to Honglu Temple, and finally report them to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Zhu Yuanzhang had general information, he decided whether to see the other party.
But now, Zhu Yuanzhang directly ordered people to bring the Tianzhu envoys, so no one gave him the news. Naturally, he didn't know what the Tianzhu people planned.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's original thinking, the people coming from Tianzhu were simply asking to withdraw their troops or declare war again.
At present, Tianzhu is getting closer and closer to the colonial plan. Under the influence of Wu Shisan and the economic blockade, Tianzhu is on the verge of collapse.
The Delhi Sultanate is a country forcibly put together by force and culture. If compared with the original Tianzhu, it is not difficult to see that the current Delhi Sultanate is not at all the size of Tianzhu.
If such an area were to be directly used as a vassal, it would not be impossible. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat unwilling to do so.
After all, if a vassal state like Goryeo is established and is supervised by one's own prince, then this place, even if there are any changes in the future, will still belong to the Zhu family.
If resources are exhausted, they can be discarded at any time.
But if the king of this vassal country has a foreign surname, who knows whether they will have other thoughts or even launch a rebellion a few years later.
The most important thing is that if Tianzhu was a colony of the Ming Dynasty, then this place could be dug and exploited without restraint. Even if others criticized it, they would not dare to say anything openly.
But if Tianzhu is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty is still like this, it is tantamount to announcing to the world that the situation of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty is worrying.
Obtaining such a vassal state allowed Ming Dynasty to harvest profits as soon as possible, but obtaining such a dilapidated vassal state also meant that Ming Dynasty might lose a colony that was about to enter.
For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of tangles in his heart, and he didn't know whether he should agree or not.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Tona and said: "As the old saying goes, people who are not of my race must have different hearts. Tianzhu and I have just gone through the war in the Ming Dynasty, and they want to join. This will inevitably make people suspicious. This is a big matter. Please step aside for the time being and wait until we have thought it through before giving you a reply々々!"
Toner wanted to say something else, but an official came forward to lead him away.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang on the throne, he finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.
When Tona left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at everyone.
"My dear friends, if you have anything you want to say, you might as well say it directly. What do you think of Tianzhu's return?"
Coincidentally, Xu Da came back to report on his work in the past few days, so he was also in Beijing.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words and seeing that the others did not move, after thinking for a moment, he could only speak first.
"Your Majesty, I thought that Tianzhu was forced to surrender, so he must have resentment in his heart, and I'm afraid he won't give in easily. We should consider the long term and should not agree to them just now!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and felt that what Xu Da said was reasonable.
But just after Xu Da finished speaking, before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, two civil servants in bright red official uniforms came out beside him.
"."Your Majesty, I believe that accepting Tianzhu at this moment can demonstrate the benevolence and righteousness of the Ming Dynasty. As for the rest, we can take care of it slowly!"
"Yes, I second the proposal. Your Majesty, think about it. If Tianzhu rebels again after accepting it, we can also directly send troops to wipe it out. No one can say anything by then!"
Both of them are officials in the cabinet, and they are also considered to be in high positions and have high authority. When they spoke at this moment, they immediately aroused the response of many officials.
Xu Da had a strange face. He was also a member of the cabinet, but because he was a military minister, it was often difficult to unify his stance and perspective.
On the other side, Ye Xuan watched with cold eyes, also thinking about other plans in his heart.
He was thinking that Tianzhu's surrender at this moment might bring some benefits to Ming Dynasty, but there might be other ideas behind this that they were not aware of.
After all, Ming Dynasty is like a lion right now, and Tian Zhu is like a weak rabbit, which can be swallowed up at any time.
The new king of the Delhi Sultanate is weak, and there are constant troubles inside and outside Tianzhu. Now that he has joined, although his status has been reduced, it is equivalent to using the Ming Dynasty to stabilize various powerful officials around him and in the country.
After all, young people tend to be motivated to work hard. Even if there are five stones scattered, they may not be able to notice anything for a while.
It's hard to say whether the new king had other ideas for this surrender, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask, so he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to speak.
While Ye Xuan was thinking, the ministers were already in a quarrel, whether civil or military, with angry expressions.
After waiting for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt a little annoyed. He waved his hand and gestured towards the eunuch.
When the eunuch saw this, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"My lords, Your Majesty is tired. Let's end today's meeting!"
