Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 594 Do you want us to pay tribute? !
This is true.

Although the Tatars are not very powerful, they are not just chickens or dogs.

Coupled with their cavalry, it would take some effort for Wa Ci to attack the Tatars.

But this time is different.

This time it was the Ming Dynasty that attacked the Tatars.

After the Ming Dynasty attacked the Tatars and expelled the Tatar king, it did not completely occupy the Tatar territory.

Because most of the Tatar territory is grassland.

Grassland means endless plains.

It's possible to hold on, but it's not easy.

Instead of spending a lot of effort to send people to defend such a long defensive line, it is better to shrink the defensive line inward to a place where it is convenient for guarding.

It can save manpower and increase the ease of defense.

The best of both worlds.

As for the extra land, they simply ignored it.

As soon as Wa Ci saw this piece of fat, he took it in his mouth without hesitation.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and replied nonchalantly: "It's just some territory. If Wa Ci likes it, just take it. We have a vast territory and we don't care about this little bit."

Zabamu smiled: "Your Majesty is very generous."

"But Your Majesty doesn't want those soldiers. It must be because Ming's army is not strong enough and he is afraid that he will not be able to defend it? It doesn't matter. Now these lands have fallen into the hands of I, Wa Ci, and I, Wa Ci, are also willing to make peace with your country for generations. It's a pity. , it seems that your majesty does not agree with the marriage proposal that Xiao Wang made before. Then let’s change the conditions. As long as the Ming Dynasty gives me 1000 shi of food every year, plus [-] million taels of silver, I will guarantee the future grassland. It's calm, like a waveless lake. How about it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily.

They say they are guarding the border for them, but they are actually coercing them into surrendering.

He looked at Zabamu with a sneer and said, "Prince Zabamu, where did you get the confidence to ask our Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to you?"

Want food and money?
Do you want an army and weapons? ? !

The courtiers were also very angry.

It was fine if he wanted to get married before, but now he wants their great country to pay tribute to him? !

I just don't know what it means!
There was a lot of curses in the court.

Zhabamu stood calmly in the hall. After they finished scolding him, Zhabamu chuckled quietly and said in a very contemptuous tone: "It's not that the little king doesn't look down on you, but that your army is too powerful." Unfortunately, the grassland is vast, and you have no other advantage except the large number of people. Are you willing to let your subjects fill up the grassland with their bones?"

"Humph, it seems that Prince Zabamu still doesn't know much about our Ming Dynasty. Our Ming Dynasty has long changed from what it used to be. If we can crush the Tatars, we can naturally crush the Tile Thorns as well."

"No matter how ferocious Wachi's cavalry is, how can they stop the soldiers of our Heavenly Kingdom?"

The courtiers were excited.

Zhabamu suddenly said: "In that case, how about we compete?"

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Chu Ze suddenly realized.

It turns out that the purpose of Zabamu's detours was to explore their strength.

Probably because he was afraid that they would not agree, he deliberately asked them to pay tribute to anger them, and then proposed a competition.

As a result, they were framed instead.

Chu Ze looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Their purpose was so obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang could naturally understand it.

He said: "Since the prince wants to compete, let's compete. It will just let the prince see the strength of our Ming Dynasty." It would be best if I could scare the shit out of you and see if you still dare to speak nonsense in front of me!

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and pointed at Chu Ze and the Minister of War, leaving the matter to them.

In a while it will be the New Year.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This year's New Year's song and dance will be cancelled, and will be replaced by a military performance of the two countries for the entertainment of hundreds of officials." The ministers: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zabamu also laughed.

entertainment?

Let's see, in this competition, is it entertainment for Wazi, or they are entertainment for Ming Dynasty.

Before retreating, Zhaba made another request.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I have just arrived in your country and am not very familiar with it. How about I ask Mr. Chu to act as my guide and accompany the little king to visit Yingtian?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes.

Chu Ze had just injured one of their men, and in the blink of an eye the man wanted Chu Ze from him.

What do you want to do?
"Prince Zabamu, Chu Aiqing wants to prepare a New Year's performance for me, why don't we give you someone else, just..."

"Your Majesty, the young king and Mr. Chu hit it off as soon as they met. The young king wants Mr. Chu and no one else."

Gee.

He also kicked his nose on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to get angry when Chu Ze stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since Prince Zhabamu insists on asking me to be a guide, then I should be my guide."

"If you are going to be the guide, who will prepare for the performance? In my opinion, let's change it to someone else. Prince Zabamu is quite willing to do as he pleases." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zabamu coldly, with a hint in his eyes A bit threatening.

It means "Do you keep trying? Let's see if we kill you."

Zabamu understood.

But the people of Wasi are never afraid of death.

How could you be afraid of a small threat from him?

Zha Bamu insisted on Chu Ze.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to rush off the stage and slap Zabamu hard twice to see if he still dared to ask for it.

Chu Ze advised: "Your Majesty, isn't the Minister of the Ministry of War here? Let the Minister arrange those trivial matters. Let's just keep an eye on the overall progress. It won't take much trouble and I guarantee that we won't miss the New Year."

Chu Ze himself said so, so what else can Zhu Yuanzhang do?
He glared at Chu Ze angrily and said, "Since you said so, then do whatever you want. But there is one thing, in case I make a mistake..."

"The emperor is giving us a blow."

Answer the call quickly so you don't get tricked.

No matter how much Zhu Yuanzhang disliked Chu Ze, he was still worried.

As soon as the court came, Chu Ze was called to the imperial study room by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything to tell us?" Chu Ze's steps were brisk and his tone was pleasant.

Those who didn’t know thought he had picked up a big treasure.

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, pointed to the seat next to him, and asked him to sit down.

"Tell me about you, are you itchy? We're trying to help you, but you still take the initiative to hit someone with a knife?" Chu Ze is his big treasure. If something goes wrong, he won't have time to regret it.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Chu Ze angrily.

Zhu Biaoye and Hai Mingchuze's move was a bit risky.

"This Zhabamu is flexible and flexible, he is a good person. Now I have asked you to be a guide, I'm afraid it's not a good idea."

Zhu Fang waved his hands and answered arrogantly: "What are you afraid of? At worst, we will stay with him to see if Zabamu dares to take action. Anyway, he only said that Chu Ze should go, but he didn't say that Chu Ze could only go alone. By the way. , Fourth brother, you should go with us, we are here to ensure that Chu Ze will not lose even a hair."

Zhu Di raised his hand and fist bumped with Zhu Xi to express his agreement.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "...I dare to say that I am a bad person, but you are all good people?"

Everyone agreed that Chu Ze should go, but he didn’t agree. That’s not a bad person!
