Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 785 Abolition of Tribute (Fifth Watch)
The streets in the capital were crowded with people, blocking the main roads.If it weren't for the yamen servants in the capital to form a human wall to maintain order, I'm afraid it would be difficult to move forward.

"Here we come!" I don't know who shouted in front, and sure enough, a group of officers in military uniforms appeared in the middle of the cleared passage, and behind this group of officers were Nanyang kings who had changed into Hanfu. .These kings also have black hair and yellow skin. If they didn't behave differently from the Han people, they might not be able to recognize them.

"Why do these people look similar, who are the sixteen kings of Nanyang?"

"I don't know. I heard Mr. Pingshu say that among the sixteen kings in Nanyang, the Annan Kings are the most powerful, followed by the Toungoo King, then the Siamese King, and the Johor King. Many of our soldiers are trying to subdue the Annan Kings. time to sacrifice."

"Didn't that Siamese king have three heads and six arms? Why can't I see who has three heads and six arms?"

"You are stupid, they were all beaten back to their original shape, didn't you see their dejected look?"

The residents of the capital who lined the road were discussing in private, and they were still somewhat superstitious, and the story told by Mr. Pingshu was miraculous.According to the rumors in the market, the sixteen kings of Nanyang were all evil stars who came to the world, and the Kyushu army was ordered by heaven to arrest them.

Lord Zheng of An Nanguo looked at the prosperous capital, and seemed to have forgotten his prisoner status while being surprised.

After he became a prisoner of the Kyushu Army in Shenglong City, he was transported to the prison in Jiangdong Town. He never had the opportunity to come to the most prosperous capital area. Seeing the prosperity of the capital at this time, he was a little lost.

"That's why they are so powerful." Ruan Fuxi from the Ruan family in An Nanguo was also amazed at the prosperity of the capital.

They have long seen black smoke billowing in the chimneys on the outskirts of the city, which are factories producing industrial products in large quantities.

The kings of sixteen Nanyang countries were brought to the Chengtian Gate—there is enough room for a large number of people.

Several photographers were busy fiddling with black and white spotlight camera tripods, and Chu Yun and others had arrived at Chengtianmen ahead of schedule.

And the residents gathered in Chengtianmen are even more countless!They didn't know why Chu Yun chose to meet the Nanyang Sixteen Kings here, but they all liked to watch the excitement!This kind of scene has always happened in the royal forbidden garden, and ordinary people will never see it!

Chu Yun himself expressed his helplessness. His mansion was not big enough. If he wanted to meet the generals of the Southern Conquest Army, the sixteen kings of Nanyang, and the corresponding translators and guards at the same time, he had to choose the relatively empty Chengtian Gate.

Due to the large number of onlookers, the guards of the guard battalion held shields and lined up in three full rows before clearing a square.

"The kings of Nanyang brought it here!"

Chang Yi, Huang Degong, Cao Bianjiao from the Southern Expedition Army, Deng Qianlong and Liu Wang from the Nanyang Fleet arrived together. When they saw Chu Yun again, they were extremely excited.

It took them three years to attack Nanyang by force, and basically defeated the local feudal regime.After Nanyang was pacified, they could implement the shift system and spend most of their time in Huaxia.

The king who followed these generals looked terrified. They saw the supreme commander of the Kyushu Army who captured them here, and they didn't know why Chu Yun brought them here. What if they wanted to beheaded?
"I went to Nanyang in person a few months ago, and I didn't have the chance to meet you, so I called you here today." Chu Yun walked over under the protection of the guards and said to them.

The sixteen Nanyang kings shook their heads when they looked at each other.

Only people from An Nan Kingdom, who is culturally closest to China, can understand what Chu Yun said.

"I didn't expect that the person who controls such a powerful army is so young. It's really unexpected. It's just that we have surrendered unconditionally. I don't know why the military leader called us here?" Zheng Zhu An Nanguo asked cautiously.

Other Nanyang kings who could not speak Chinese pinned their hopes on Lord Zheng, hoping that Lord Zheng could give them a chance of survival.

"You don't need to be nervous, our big country will not be so narrow-minded, let alone kill you because of some unhappiness in the past." Chu Yun said.

lie!Lord Zheng shouted in his heart, he once believed in the Kyushu Army, but was deceived by Zhang Yuan sent by the Kyushu Army, and even the capital of the country was broken by the Kyushu Army!

Lord Zheng caught a glimpse of Zhang Yuan who was following behind Chu Yun, and Zhang Yuan smiled at him: "Brother Zheng, long time no see."

"The purpose of calling you here this time is to abolish the previous tributary system," Chu Yun said.

"Tribute system? According to the traditional tributary tradition, our Nanyang countries only need to submit to the Central Plains and send envoys to pay tribute every year. The Central Plains shelters us, regards us as a vassal state, and protects our interests instead of invading us. Your Kyushu Army The practice of destroying the country is against the tributary system!" Zheng Zhu protested.

"That's why I said that the tributary system should be abolished. In the past, it was because the Central Plains could not reach it. Now that it has entered the age of sailing, effective rule can be achieved through sea routes... As the suzerain, I declare that from now on, all kings in Nanyang will be deposed, and there will be no more The distinction between the suzerain state and the vassal state is the land of the king!" Chu Yun gradually raised his voice.

"The military commander has an order. From now on, all the kings of Nanyang will be deposed. Nanyang has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. Is there any king in the world!" The guards who had been prepared for a long time shouted loudly.

"There is no king in the world!"

Someone in the crowd yelled, and then spread it to ten, ten to a hundred, spreading throughout the entire Chengtianmen like waves, overwhelming mountains and seas!

Everyone realizes that it seems that their country has increased again?

Some Western kings who could not understand Chinese turned pale with fright at the tsunami-like shouts.

"Are you going to kill us? Do you want a living sacrifice?" A slightly primitive tribal king asked the interpreter in horror.

"No, we announced that we have taken back your land." The interpreter replied.

"Huh?" The king of the primitive tribe was at a loss. When did the island where their kingdom was located become someone else's lost territory.

"My lords, please take a group photo in front of Chengtianmen to record this important moment." The photographer rubbed his hands excitedly, intending to leave a precious photo for future generations.

Chu Yun led a group of generals from the South Conquest Army to stand in front of Chengtian Gate, while behind them were the sixteen kings of Nanyang who were still in a daze.

"Look at my gestures, three, two..." The photographer buried in the black cloth raised his finger.

"Record it quickly, this is important evidence to prove that Nanyang belongs to us in the future." The spotlight flashed, and the historians responsible for recording history reminded each other.
