Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Five big blessing boats lined up in the shape of geese in front,

The mountains, rivers, sun and moon flags of the Ming Dynasty fluttered in the wind, declaring the might of the Ming Dynasty.

From Jiaozhi to Qiongzhou Island, from Qiongzhou Island to Guangzhou, from Guangzhou to Fuzhou, and from Fuzhou to Jiangnan.
Teams of warships hand over escorts, the only thing that remains the same is the flags of the Great Ming.

Along the way, Tafari encountered many merchant ships, from Johor, Aceh, Palingpan, Sulu, Frangji, Ceylon, and Persia.
The people on these merchant ships looked in awe at the power represented by the five great blessing ships, and at the same time looked at Tafari's ships flying the Ming and Wandan flags with amazement.

Where is this fleet from?

Why did Ming's warship open the way?
Tafari returned to the cabin and sat down. He knew that this was the honor bestowed upon him by the Shang Kingdom, and it was to welcome him to Daming and be buried in Daming.

This kind of courage, such a mind, is the only way to be called the weather of heaven.

When changing to the sixth fleet of warships, the fleet also entered Bohai Bay, which was the last piece of sea to reach the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

And in this sea area, there are the most merchant ships from North Korea and mission ships from various countries.

These ships flying different flags shuttled back and forth, allowing Tafari to once again see the power of the Shang Kingdom. Especially only spread to Nanyang?

As the fleet got closer and closer to Tianjin Port, the accompanying staff of Nanyang Development Company also reminded Tafari: "Your Majesty, Tianjin Mansion is coming soon."

Hearing this news, Tafari asked his entourage to enter the cabin, put on the seal ribbon, python suit, and head crown bestowed by Emperor Tianqi at that time, and then sat in the cabin, waiting for the fleet to enter the port.

Soon, the fleet arrived at Tianjin Port, and the five warships had left to continue cruising, while Tafari's ship was slowly docking at the port at this time. With the escort and support of the guards, Fari finally stepped on the land of Shangguo.

From Wandan to Tianjin Mansion, Wanli Haibo, his body, which was almost exhausted, finally landed on the land of Shangguo.

Taking a deep breath, Tafari nodded to the guards: "Prepare the frame, I don't have much time."

At this time, the official from the Ministry of Rites who was waiting in Tianjin stepped forward: "We have already prepared the frame for the king."

Zhang Ruitu had already made all the preparations. It was not that the Daming Ritual Department couldn't produce a carriage equipped with spring shock absorbers and comfortable cushions. There were too many carriage etiquette departments for foreign guests.

Soon seven or eight carriages stopped in front of Tafari and his entourage under the escort of a team of royal guards. The most eye-catching of these carriages was the one drawn by four horses, which looked like a small room. Big carriage.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites also kindly told Tafari that this carriage would take him to Shuntian Mansion.

This is a car prepared for the princes and vassal states. With the support of two close ministers, Tafari entered the carriage, the rest of the courtiers and nobles entered other carriages, and the entourage were all assigned horses. The group set off from Tianjin Port under the escort of Jin Yiwei , to Shuntianfu.

This line of carriages and guards appeared in the Tianjin Mansion, but attracted many people to watch, merchants, tourists, traffickers, and ordinary people were surprised to see this team of carriages appearing. Where did the foreign officials and princes come from?Isn't it time to pay tribute?

Someone quickly realized: "Didn't it be said that the ruler of another country admired my Daming Grace and was willing to spend his life in Daming and be buried in Daming? This is it!"

After saying this, the rest of the people who eat melons also reacted and began to whisper:
"This is the foreign lord who is willing to be buried in my Ming Dynasty. It's really magnificent, and he is escorted by Jin Yiwei!"

"Hey, what kind of grandeur is this? I've seen the King of Joseon go to court, and that's grand."

"But the king of Joseon doesn't want to be buried in my Daming, and those in the poor mountains and remote areas of North Korea don't know what's good. Isn't it good to be buried in my Daming?"

"That's right, the Ming Dynasty is so good, and North Korea even said it was the most loyal courtier of the Ming Dynasty, so they didn't want to come to the Ming Dynasty."

"Look at this Nanyang king, who admires my great Ming's kindness, and is willing to die in my great Ming's, this is a true loyal minister."

"Yes, yes, I have to say that my Ming Dynasty is really getting stronger and stronger now, and there are foreign kings who are willing to die in my Ming Dynasty."

"Who says it's not? In the past, during the Wanli and Jiajing dynasties, how could they have such prestige? The imperial court can pacify the Tatars, annihilate Annan, and go to Nanyang to fight the Hongyi people! Now the Ming Dynasty, It's a real prosperity!"

"I remember it was said in the book that when I became a grandfather, there were foreign rulers who asked to die in Daming and be buried in Daming. The Ming Dynasty at that time was also very powerful."

"Hey, that's Grandfather Cheng, five expeditions to Mongolia and seven voyages to the West, what kind of prestige is Grandfather Cheng?!"

"Hey, our Apocalypse Dynasty pacified Mongolia and went to Nanyang. Now there are also foreign rulers who come to see them and hope to die in Daming. Doesn't this mean that it is comparable to the Yongle Dynasty?"

"Of course, our Tianqi Dynasty must be comparable to the Yongle Dynasty, and Master Tianqi is no worse than Grandpa Cheng!"

"Yes, yes, let me tell you, our Tianqi Dynasty is much better than the Yongle Dynasty. We can now eat three meals a day to fill our stomachs. We have fish and meat during the festivals, and we can afford new clothes. We have surplus food at home. Is this the good life that money could have had before?"

People discussed it one after another, and finally came to a consensus: Tianqi Dynasty is really better than Yongle Dynasty, Emperor Tianqi is no worse than Grandfather Cheng.

Listening to the whispers of the people around, the official of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of receiving and guiding was also satisfied, not bad, not bad, what he wanted was the momentum of public opinion.

In the carriage escorted by the Ministry of Rituals, the official who greeted Tafari asked his companion: "All ready?"

The companion nodded: "Well, the distance from Tianjin Mansion to Shuntian Mansion will be escorted by the Fifth Army Battalion along the way, which is enough to give him face."

Jie Yin smiled: "Hey, he traveled across the ocean and traveled thousands of miles to come to our Ming Dynasty, hoping to die on the land of Daming, what's the matter with giving him some face?"

The companion was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right, if other vassal lords are willing to die in my Daming in the future, that would be fine."

The two were talking, and the convoy was ready to leave the city.

Apart from Tianjin Mansion, within ten miles, a group of knights appeared on both sides. The knights silently merged into the convoy, and a dozen or so knights in front held up the flag of Ming Dynasty to open the way.

This team of knights is about a battalion of people and horses. The dense sound of horseshoes around has also attracted Tafari's attention. He heard the sudden sound of horseshoes around him, but he didn't hear anyone talking. He felt a little surprised Tafari asked the courtier to see what was going on, and the courtier poked his head out, only to find that there was a team of Ming knights around the convoy.

These knights of the Ming Dynasty were silent and solemn. They had no communication with Jin Yiwei during the whole process, but they cooperated very tacitly. They quietly blended into the convoy and opened the way to guard them quietly. The warriors charged by Manchu and Mongolian iron cavalry were strong troops capable of defeating [-] Tatar tribes with three thousand cavalry and chasing them for thousands of miles.

Tafari looked at his neighbors who turned their heads in astonishment, and said in a strange tone: "Your Majesty, outside are the cavalry from the Shang Kingdom protecting us."

"The cavalry from Shangguo? I understand." Tafari wasn't too surprised. Looking at the appearance of his neighbors, he guessed that there was a group of rare elite cavalry outside, right?

But this is also normal, Daming is so big, there are many elite cavalry, unlike Nanyang, the three countries can't gather many cavalry.

Under the escort of the knights of the Fifth Army Battalion, the convoy with guard of honor entered Shuntian Mansion and arrived at the Daming Capital.

The guard of honor of the Lord Wandan entered the capital, which aroused another heated discussion among the people in the capital.

With various channels, such as three aunts and eight aunts and what I have a friend, my brother's sister and so on, the people of the capital of the Ming Dynasty also know the news that a foreign principal came to Beijing to see him and hope to die in Daming.

This made the people of Daming even more proud, but they also had suspicions in their hearts: which lord is so loyal and willing to die in my Daming?

Now the common people know that it is the Lord of Wandan.

The common people chattered with one another, and the most frequent communication was not about Wandan Kingdom's main entry into the capital, nor was it about which vassal state of Ming Dynasty was the most loyal, but whether the current Ming Dynasty could compare with Chengzu's Yongle Dynasty.

This is the most intense debate among the people of Ming Dynasty today.

Someone said, "Grandfather Cheng made five expeditions to Mobei and seven voyages to the West, all the way to the Onan River. His momentum attracted all nations to come to the dynasty. There were more than [-] countries sealed off. This dynasty is still a little bit worse."

Some people also said, "This dynasty fought against Mongolia three times, destroyed the [-] Manchu-Mongolian coalition forces, laid down the three thousand miles of grassland in the southern part of the desert, all the ministries of Khalkha declared their surrender, and another general went to Nanyang to wipe out the Hongyi people and attracted the Nanyang countries to come to the dynasty. This dynasty is also from all nations, so why can’t it compare to the Yongle Dynasty?”

Some people also said, "Grandpa Cheng's achievements are obvious to all. He was a figure who ran the army and ruled the country just like Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. In any battle of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, he was not wearing armor and charging forward, and Grandpa Cheng even visited Mobei in person. Zhenya, this court is still a bit short."

But there are also people who say, "The biggest achievement of this dynasty is not to make the world full of food. In the past, it was difficult to fill the stomach with two meals a day, and I was hungry and faint all day long. Now I don't mention three meals a day. Melons, fruits and vegetables, You can eat chicken, duck and fish. What's more, you can live a stable life without being bullied. Isn't this the greatest prosperity?"

Regarding whether this dynasty is comparable to the Yongle Dynasty, whether our great Tianqi Emperor can be compared with Cheng Zuye, this kind of public opinion is becoming more and more enthusiastic among the people. Before, people just thought that this is a prosperous age, a peaceful day, and the imperial court is fighting against the outside world. Repeated battles and victories, against Mongolia, against Liaodong, against Jiaozhi, there is nothing impossible to win, and the big guys can eat their stomachs, and their daily life is also enriched. It is a good day.

But looking at it now, this dynasty is no worse than the Yongle Dynasty. If it is compared with the Zhenguan Dynasty and the Kaiyuan Dynasty, it is even worse!
Now, people are discussing the merits of this dynasty more intensely.

Not only the common people were discussing, merchants and students joined in one after another, and the whole capital was very lively.

While the folk discussions are in full swing, the court is very quiet.

Zhang Ruitu looked at the information and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, yes, the current heat is considered a discussion. Let's not worry about the disputes among the people. The process of the Lord Wandan's meeting with His Majesty must be well prepared. This is a big deal. There is no room for sloppiness. Your Majesty wants to reward the Lord of Wandan, and envoys from various countries in Beijing will attend the banquet, so we must be fully prepared."

"Cifu, do you think Shuntian Mansion is right?" the lower official asked.

Zhang Ruitu said: "Shuntian Mansion must be involved, the order of the capital must be maintained by Shuntian Mansion."

After deciding on these matters, the next thing to prepare is the Tafari pilgrimage meeting.

As the first foreign ruler of this dynasty to express his willingness to be buried in Ming Dynasty, the imperial court gave Tafari great importance, because Tafari's actions were an affirmation of the Tianqi Dynasty and their achievements.

Soon it was time for Tafari to make the pilgrimage, and Tafari got up early and dressed up in the python suit given by the emperor, and went to the imperial city to have an audience.

In the Fengtian Hall, apart from the civil and military officials of Ming Dynasty, there were also envoys from various countries. These envoys looked at Tafari with various eyes, admiring, puzzled, and a few looked at him coldly.

Tafari stood respectfully on the main hall, in his 30s, but his face was still haggard. He kowtowed three times and bowed nine times: "The little king of Wandan, Tafari, sees His Majesty the Ming Emperor, long live the great emperor, long live, long live Long live."

Zhu Youxiao raised his hand to signal: "Be flat, give me a seat."

Tafari stood up and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Immediately following the procedures, Tafari expressed his admiration and longing for Daming, and said that he had run out of oil and hoped to be buried in Daming after his death, and only asked His Majesty the Emperor to give him three feet of loess.

And Zhu Youxiao also expressed his affirmation of Tafari's loyalty, and said that he would definitely give Tafari the best treatment, and then not only gave Tafari the king's clothes, canonized him as a prince, but also gave Tafari the king's clothes. A capital mansion in Fari, the expenses are counted as the imperial court, so that Tafari can rest at ease.

This set of procedures took a lot of time, and then Zhu Youxiao announced that there will be a banquet in honor of Tafari tonight, and all ministers and foreign envoys will participate.

Tafari shouted long live three times with tears in his excited eyes. The loyalty shown to Da Ming was true and not fake, which made the eyes of all the civil and military soldiers around Da Ming red-eyed. What a good foreign ruler, if other foreign rulers can do the same Loyalty makes it much more convenient for Daming to act overseas.

And Tafari was most excited about the royal title and royal clothes that Zhu Youxiao gave him, which meant that the Ming court affirmed his identity and also affirmed Wan Dan's foundation.

From now on, his son will be the serious King Wandan and a courtier of the Ming Dynasty.

The state banquet was held very smoothly, everyone was very happy drinking and having fun, and these foreign envoys also praised the current strength and prosperity of Daming, and expressed that they would also like to die in Daming. It is so happy to live in Daming, which is comparable to that of their own. Backcountry is much stronger and so on.

And the common people finally came to the answer: the Tianqi Dynasty is no worse than the Yongle Dynasty, and even surpassed it. The current Emperor Tianqi is definitely comparable to Grandpa Cheng.

The people in the temple can come to such conclusions, which is undoubtedly an affirmation of the achievements of Qi Dynasty today, and an affirmation of the efforts of Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Haogu and others.

Right now, Zhu Youxiao is very happy, extremely happy.

Since Tianqi decided to reform the world in the second year of Tianqi, in ten years, he has built Tianqi Dynasty into a prosperous age comparable to Tang Zong and Song Zu. How can Zhu Youxiao be unhappy?
Now everyone in the world recognizes his achievements!
The complacent Zhu Youxiao even said that he would completely solve the foreign troubles within two years, and then perfectly rebuild Ming Dynasty!
After saying this, it undoubtedly means that Zhu Youxiao already has the intention of attacking Liaodong.

With the merger of the Three Thousand Miles Grassland in Monan into Daming Yuwanghua, and the Khalkha tribes in Mobei surrendering to Daming, the troubles in the grasslands in the north have been completely pacified; The small country took a blow to let them know that the Ming Dynasty was still the Ming Dynasty, and they should not mess around if they wanted to live, so the countries in Southeast Asia surrendered; and the Hongyi people were driven out of Nanyang, and the Nanyang countries paid tribute to Daming.

Right now it is the north, and the south has been pacified, leaving only the Northwest and Liaodong.

Northwest is now a nominal vassal with Daming, so only Liaodong is left!
Jurchens!
Manchu!

Great Qing Dynasty!
Zhu Youxiao has always kept in mind that Huang Taiji, a barbarian, dared to proclaim himself emperor!

A mere Liaodong, a mere Jurchen, how much land, how many tribesmen, dare to call the emperor and establish a country? !
What's more, that old slave Nurhachi dared to attack him with 3 people, and almost let his great ambitions go to see his ancestors. It is very rare for Zhu Youxiao to endure this until now.

If it wasn't for the changes in Monan, the instability in the southeast, and the Kaihai and Hongyi people, Zhu Youxiao would have already attacked Liaodong!
Daming is so big that it spans thousands of miles, and if people use their feet alone to walk all over the world, they will not be able to reach the end of it in a year.

The huge Ming Dynasty, hundreds of millions of subjects, and a large number of vassal states made it possible for all kinds of things to happen, which in turn involved the energy of the cabinet.

Huang Taiji is Daming's enemy, but he is not the main enemy, because even if he breaks the sky, Huang Taiji will not be able to enter the barrier, and it will not cause much loss to Daming.

This is not false, it is true, if Wu Sangui hadn't let Shanhaiguan pass, it would be strange for Huang Taiji to be able to enter the pass.

If it weren't for the lack of money in the imperial court and the lack of payment, food and equipment at the border, would the Manchu Qing have defeated the Ming army?

Do you understand what is the invincible gold content of the Ming army who is not satisfied with the salary?

In today's Ming Dynasty, the borders are stable, the soldiers can get full military pay, and the food and grass are sufficient, the military equipment is neat, and all kinds of new equipment are equipped. In addition, the court and the people have been cleaned up again and again, and Shanxi merchants are also good. The internal treacherous ministers were all wiped out, and without internal enemies, the Manchu Qing was no longer worth mentioning in Daming's eyes.

Since Huang Taiji was broken in the battle on the grassland, he has been huddling in Liaodong and licking his wounds. He seems to be indifferent to everything in the outside world. Trying to be a transparent person also allows the cabinet to free up more Focus on other things first.

It is impossible for Huang Taiji to give up his ambitions. The court knows that Huang Taiji is also recuperating and recovering his vitality.

Now that the world is stable and all nations are coming to court, Emperor Apocalypse doesn't want to tolerate the stain of Liaodong anymore.
