Chapter 371 Zhu Yuanzhang’s Thoughts
Seeing the letters of credence presented to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao could hardly contain his excitement.
His thinking is very sharp, and he has just roughly estimated the current situation.
If Ye Xuan's plan goes well, it won't be long before these countries will be completely inseparable from the Ming Dynasty, and one day they will even actively ask to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty.
Before, there was one thing that these countries may not have dared to think about, or perhaps had ignored.
That is, their accumulated territory is actually not much less than the territory actually controlled by Ming Dynasty.
But just because they didn't notice it doesn't mean Zhu Biao didn't.
Thinking that the Ming Dynasty would be able to nearly double its territory in a few years without spending a single soldier, Zhu Biao almost laughed out loud.
He was happy, but the envoys from various countries were even happier.
They are also all-powerful figures in their own country, and their vision and skills are not comparable to ordinary people.
But they are still willing to accept Zhu Yuanzhang's mercy, which naturally has their own reasons. 17
Take the Ava Dynasty for example. They have been fighting openly and secretly with the Baigu Dynasty. Some people have even predicted that in up to ten years, the two countries will turn from an alliance to a quarrel with each other.
Under this situation, they cooperated in various ways on the surface, but secretly they were wary of all kinds. Instead of gaining much benefit from each other, they had to suffer from various frictions and high military expenditures.
Zhu Yuanzhang's alliance may be seeking benefits for Ming Dynasty, but for them, it is a kind of guarantee.
After all, no one can say for sure what will happen ten years from now, but there is one thing they can be sure of right now, that is, no one can take the risk of becoming an enemy of the Ming Dynasty and attack them.
In this way, they can develop with peace of mind for a period of time, and with the economic stimulation of the Ming Dynasty, they can also obtain more money through business.
There are many other countries that are in a similar situation to the Ava Dynasty.
They have all focused on the dividends of business, hoping that the vast market of Ming Dynasty can become a place for them to make profits.
At the same time, they also hope to obtain various treasures of the Ming Dynasty through business, thereby changing their various environments.
As for minerals, they do not have the ability to develop them on a large scale.
Moreover, even if some of them have this ability, most of them cannot realize and use large amounts.
In this era, limited by knowledge and vision, most of them think that minerals are deep underground, and even if they keep digging, it will be difficult to deplete them.
By relying on the short-term transfer of mining rights, they became friends with the Ming Dynasty and even obtained various gifts from the Ming Dynasty. This was not a loss for them.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also said before that the Ming Dynasty would provide them with military protection and open factories.
With the equipment and products they had seen before, the envoys had already begun to fantasize about how the prosperous motherland would have a rebellious heart in the future, or consider the hidden dangers in the future.
At this moment, there was a harmonious atmosphere in the hall, but Zhu Yuanzhang still did not reveal his last purpose.
After a brief silence, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and the eunuchs immediately walked out quickly, and then the waiters began to serve the dishes.
Looking at the exquisite and elegant dishes, the envoys were shocked and naturally felt that the future was promising.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang was not too polite.
He raised his wine glass and gestured to everyone, and then gave straightforward instructions.
"There is an old saying in the Central Plains that food is the most important thing for the people. Since we have signed a contract, let's eat first. If there is anything else, we can discuss it in detail after dinner!"
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about anyone else and started to enjoy the meal himself.
Facing the envoys from these small countries, Zhu Yuanzhang did not worry about his image.
Firstly, he has never shied away from his origin, and secondly, he knows in his heart that no matter how rude he is, these people will only think that he is a gentle person, and instead of ridiculing him, they may admire him.
The envoys were also very thoughtful. After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, they knew that there must be other requirements and orders behind the alliance.
Therefore, although they were all drinking and eating, in the warm atmosphere, "no one dared to get drunk."
The banquet progressed very quickly, but after only two hours, it came to an end under Zhu Yuanzhang's order.
These envoys did not hear the last words of Zhu Yuanzhang until the end, and all of them could not help but have various conjectures in their hearts.
Little did they know that Zhu Yuanzhang was controlling their psychology so that when the real purpose was announced, they would not have any thoughts of resistance or rejection.
This skill was naturally suggested by Ye Xuan in his heart, and Zhu Yuanzhang followed his advice fluently.
The next day, as soon as the envoys got up, they were informed by officials from the Ministry of Rites that they would accompany the emperor on a hunt today.
So, in the hunting ground, all the envoys who knew some martial arts, riding and shooting, as well as the officials of the Ming Dynasty, put on their equipment and participated in the hunting together.
It’s not just a reminder from God, it’s also a coincidence.
The envoys waited for a long time with curiosity, but Zhu Yuanzhang never said anything about the follow-up alliance arrangements.
Even when chatting, Zhu Yuanzhang only asked about the family's shortcomings and customs.
Just when the hunt was about to end, a plump stag appeared in everyone's sight.
Zhu Yuanzhang bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot the moving stag in one shot. The arrow penetrated the neck, which was really scary.
Among the envoys, some responded quickly and immediately followed the custom of the Central Plains Dynasty and shouted long live.
Those who fell behind did not dare to neglect and hurriedly followed the instructions.
At one time, the entire hunting ground was filled with shouts of long live the mountain.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was time for him to get down to business.
He threw the bow and arrow to his followers, and then led everyone back to their original positions.
When everyone was seated, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed directly at himself without being polite.
"Our bodies are still strong and we can live for another ten or twenty years. Logically speaking, we should expand our territory and leave a reputation in the history books that far surpasses that of the Qin and Han Dynasties."
Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's content being translated bit by bit, the envoys' faces became a little strange.
Is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty going to take action against himself? Or is the Ming Dynasty going to send troops to neighboring countries?
Various speculations continued to appear in the minds of the envoys, but no one was sure of Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.
While they were making various guesses, Zhu Yuanzhang finally continued and made the answer public.
"But we know that the people are fighting hard and don't want to continue the conquest. We also know that most of you don't like fighting, so we formed an alliance with you.
"But we want to live peacefully, but others may not. Right next to us, there is a hungry wolf, eyeing you eagerly, ready to attack you at any time. He has even secretly colluded with our enemies!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed instantly. They all knew that Bed Yuanzhang was finally going to announce the most important thing.
"So, we decided to go to war against Tianzhu in the name of the coalition forces!".
