On the other day, envoys from various countries gathered outside the palace. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to neglect them. They increasingly felt that the Ming Dynasty's national policy towards foreign vassals was changing. In the past, when the envoys were often able to receive more generous rewards, but now, the Ming Dynasty court has no rewards in addition to ordering tribute to pay tribute every year. It turned out that tribute was to make money, but now it was just to pay money. The envoys came with hundreds of servants, not only living in the spacious voyage hall, but also to entertain fine wine, but also to watch singing and dancing. Many envoys were happy to see Shu. For many ministers in small countries, paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty was the most popular job, but now there are spacious houses, wine, singing and dancing. But before you enjoy it, the people who entertained you will turn their eyes and stretch their hands to hand over the money.

It's so miserable! It doesn't matter to some larger vassal states. When they go on missions, the king will reward some pocket money. However, some small countries are miserable. These small island countries have only 10,000 people, so how can they spend so much money for him? They bring some dry food to the journey and set off on the road. Finally, they arrive at Haidu, and there is no place to live. Why? A small envoy who is hungry and half-dead, with a total of twenty or thirty people hiding on the corner of the street, which is worse than beggars. In the end, they patrol the streets and show their compassion and reward them with dozens of steamed buns, but they finally didn't starve to death.

The envoys were obedient outside the palace, and their eyebrows were full of worries. The days in Haidu were hard to bear. I thought that in order to compete for this job, everyone defeated countless competitors in their country. I originally thought that they could live happily in a metropolis like Haidu and then return to China to work. Unexpectedly, if you meet an emperor like Zhu Jun, you have no choice but to endure hardships here. In my country, these people are all princes and nobles. Although life is not necessarily better than the wealthy Ming Dynasty, they are also walking sideways on the streets. However, when you arrive in Haidu, you have to look at others' faces and no one can offend them. Once you have a quarrel with others, you will be the first person to arrest Shuntian Mansion. Not only will you suffer, but the country will also be shamed.

"Are you all here?" a little eunuch walked out of the side door and asked with a pinched voice.

The envoys gathered over and laughed. The father-in-law and father-in-law's compliments were not allowed to offend him. Now the Ming navy is circulating in the south of China. Who dares to offend the eunuch? Maybe he chewed some tongue in front of the emperor and caused any disaster to his country.

"Then go in." The little eunuch looked stern and led his envoys into the side door. The guards guarding the side door also checked their bodies and confirmed that there were no weapons before they let them go.

It’s not as good as a dog when it comes to the Ming Dynasty! Many envoys felt that they couldn’t hold their faces and sighed in their hearts. However, they felt a little more comfortable when they saw the Annan envoys and the Malaga envoys in front of them. Annan and Malaga were both one of the great powers in the South Ocean and had also shown their might in the South Ocean. Now their envoys looked like slaves, which made some envoys in the small country who were resentful. Tsk, aren’t they the same as me?

Zhu Jun sat in the side hall waiting for the envoys to meet. Yang Side and some officials from the Ministry of Rites were on both sides. After the announcement, the envoys came in one after another and saluted them together. Zhu Jun was obviously in a good mood and immediately calmed down.

"Well! Very good, we're all here." Zhu Jun first gave the opening remark, and then began to get to the main topic: "I've been very restless recently. Since the Ming Navy's patrol in Southeast Asia, all countries have always been peaceful. Why is this for?"

The envoys looked at each other, wondering why the emperor was uneasy. Zhu Jun continued: "The Ming Dynasty treated people with sincerity, and only wanted to be at peace with all countries in the South China Ocean, so that the war would be wiped out, and the world would be peaceful, and the people of all countries would enjoy a prosperous era. But I heard that the countries in the South China Ocean were as afraid of the bright light as tigers. Although they sent envoys to pay tribute, they secretly closed the ports and obstructed our Ming Dynasty's maritime trade rights. What is this true?"

The envoys finally knew that there was nothing good today. It turned out that they were seeking a riot. In fact, the closure of the port began to be implemented a year ago. All countries refused to enter the Ming sea ships. They only allowed the sea ships to enter the port for three days in mid-June. All countries did not agree with this matter. First, there were many vassal states that closed the port, and the law did not blame the public. Second, they refused only maritime merchants. I think the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not punish this matter, so everyone did not take it seriously.

The envoys of the Malacca were the most obedient. The reason was that there was no other reason. The Ming Dynasty was going to Malacca, which was only one sea away from Java. The Nanyang navy in the Ming Dynasty was stationed in Java. Therefore, the Malacca was equivalent to surging the Ming Dynasty to live a life. But it could not be beaten. Naturally, they could only be human with their tails. When Zhu Jun asked, the envoys of the Malacca hurriedly said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty calmed down. This matter was tolerated by the ministers. Since the opening of the sea trade, illegal merchants in the Ming Dynasty have continuously sent sea ships to import goods into the country. There was a large amount of ready-made goods, which caused the abandonment of all industries in the country and the loss of a large amount of silver in the country, which made many people in the country have no food and clothing. The treasury revenue was sharply reduced. Therefore, the king of the country ordered the closure of the port every year.

Time. lasts for three days.”

Zhu Jun sneered: "What are you talking about the exchange between countries? When will I close the sea and Java? The ports in Malacca are not allowed to trade goods and make money? Now it's better. I haven't closed the port. Are you going to close the port first? Do you bully me?"

The envoy of the Malarga was so scared that he was sweating coldly. Who dared to bully him? The Manlaga was bullied by the man who was above the top land. He didn't mention the land cemetery, and he still paid a large amount of tribute every year. That's fine. The Ming Dynasty's sea merchants rushed into the port like flies. Almost all the goods were available. Not to mention the exquisite style, the price was not expensive. All of them were idle. All of the entire Malarga went to buy goods from the Ming Dynasty. The local local goods had no sales. The practitioners gradually became refugees. Every year, the outflowed silver was million taels, which was twice as much as the annual income of the Malarga treasury. What was this not bullying? In the end, the Malarga bullied him. To put it nicely, merchants from the Malarga could also sell goods to the ports from the Ming Dynasty. What could they sell? In addition to some local local specialties, who bought goods from the Ming Dynasty?

The envoy of the Malaga was unhappy, but he still nodded honestly: "His Majesty the Emperor calmed down. My minister Meng Lang. My minister will write to him and urge the king to open the market."

Next, the envoy of Annan was the same as Manlacca. Not only was the northern border bordering Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty, but the middle part of the mainland also included the territory for the Ming Dynasty, dividing the territory into two. A few months ago, the Ming Dynasty helped Annan kill the Mo family, which allowed Annan to reunify the unity of Annan. The strength of the Ming army also allowed them to see that the Ming army was powerful. Thousands of people and Ming army were holding new ground fire weapons and were unstoppable. Tens of thousands of Mo family troops fought and fled. Therefore, it was not important to open the market. The important thing was not to anger the Ming Dynasty. Once the Ming Dynasty found an excuse, Annan could be swallowed in a moment. The conditions for stolen land must be agreed.

"I will also immediately send a letter to the king, and Annan Kingdom is willing to open sea trade with the Ming Dynasty forever."

Zhu Jun nodded, with a smile on his face. He really didn't want to use war in Nanyang until he had no choice but to do so. After all, everyone has surrendered and you are bullying like this. It's really unreasonable.

When the other small countries saw Annan Manlaga nodded in agreement, there was no suspense. With their words of no in this palace, the Ming Dynasty trampled them to death and was like stepping on ants. At this time, the envoy of Sumatra stood up, saluted Zhu Jun, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

Finally, I met a fool. The envoys were relieved and all looked at the Sumatra envoys wrapped in a headscarf. What kind of spirit is this? The envoys seemed to see hope. They dare not offend the Ming Dynasty, but if someone stood up to express their dissatisfaction, they were very willing to see that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was angry, and the one who died was the same as the one who died, and the fellow Taoist who died was not a fool. If they win, maybe everyone would not have to open the market. It was really great.

"Oh? Why is it wrong for me?" Zhu Jun knew that the good show of killing the chicken to warn the monkey was about to begin, so he couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Since the Ming Dynasty built the Haidu trade, Sumatra's country lost 1.4 million taels of silver every year. Many people fought to buy Ming's goods, causing all industries to wither. All walks of life are struggling. The Ming Dynasty's merchant ships not only took away the silver from Sumatra, but also destroyed various industries. Over the past year, the streets of the Sumatra royal capital have added several times. If the Ming Dynasty made Sumatra's founding country, the entire country would be the whole.

Sumatra will fall into poverty. Is this the reason why the Ming Dynasty treated the vassal states? If so, Sumatra would rather stop tribute than enter the court as a minister." When the Sumatra envoys were moved, they remembered the tragic scene of rapid collapse of all walks of life under the dumping of the Ming Dynasty. Countless handicraftsmen lost their livelihoods and were sent to beggars. They couldn't help but burst into tears, which made other envoys lament, and were full of rabbit death and foxes.

Zhu Junmu remained motionless and had no mercy. They were pitiful, but the merchants in the Ming Development Zone would not be pitiful once they went bankrupt? Those workers working in workshops would not be pitiful once they were unemployed? There must be some people who would be pitiful, so let you Sumatra be pitiful, so be pitiful.

Zhu Jun's face was gradually getting worse, and he said coldly: "What do you mean is that Sumatra will never pay tribute to you again?"

The Sumatra messenger wiped away his tears and said proudly: "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, but if you are willing to abolish...

"No need to do it!" Zhu Jun knew that he would not have any kindness at this time. So many envoys were watching him, and said sternly: "Come on, take Sumatra's letter and remove Sumatra from the list of the country that will never be conquered."

"Also, expel the Sumatra envoys and promulgate the decree, and let Liu Er lead the navy to sail immediately to conquer the unjust!"
