In the regent mansion, Zhao Ming listened to Chen Mingxia's return, and there was no joy or anger on his face.Chen Mingxia raised his head and glanced at Zhao Ming, then lowered his head again and said: "Your Highness, Donghu dares to confront the Ming Dynasty, when the army is exterminated, Japan does not know how to lift, and the minister thinks that he should be a sailor and force him to compromise." ”The agreement was not signed successfully, and the result was not satisfactory, and the two most populous subject states in East Asia were unwilling to join the agreement and enter the new tributary system, which meant that his negotiations basically failed.This made Chen Mingxia very worried that Zhao Ming would be blamed for this, so he wanted to put the blame on Donghu and Japan, but they didn't take the Ming Dynasty seriously.Zhao Ming shook his head slightly, "Order Donghu and the Japanese envoys to leave Nanjing within a time limit, prohibit the two countries from paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and list them as enemy countries of the Ming Dynasty, and restrict the merchants of the two countries from trading with the Ming Dynasty and all tributary countries." ”For the conquest of Japan, from the perspective of personal bad taste, Zhao Ming is actually very interested and wants to go back and forth to Japan.However, from the perspective of interests, it is completely thankless, and at this time the Ming Dynasty and Japan, there is no grudge, not long ago the Korean War, but also the Ming Dynasty won, so the Ming Dynasty to Japan, in fact, is a relatively unfamiliar subordinate defeated.Therefore, Zhao Ming will not conquer Japan in a short period of time.In contrast, Dongoo, which is also the Burmese region, is more tempting to Zhao Ming.If the Ming Dynasty could control Donghu, it would become a two-ocean country, and the fleet would not need to make a detour to Malacca.Of course, now because the road is not passable, land transportation is not as convenient as the sea, so this strategic advantage can not be reflected, but to occupy Donghu, for the future Ming Dynasty, but there is a great benefit, is a great strategy for the benefit of future generations.In addition, if Donghu is won and India is in sight, Zhao Ming will be able to use this place as a springboard to compete with Wu Sangui and Britain for India, a large market with a population of more than 100 million.One of the prerequisites for the industrial revolution is to have a huge market, and whoever has a large market is more likely to be the first to complete the industrial revolution.Therefore, Japan and Donghu, Zhao Ming will put Donghu in front.However, at present, the Ming Dynasty has just been unified, and it is easy to leave a bad name for the surrounding people by launching a war because of insufficient preparation and insufficient reasons.The Celestial Empire has its own norms of the Celestial Empire, as well as the image of a responsible great power.Therefore, Zhao Ming does not want to directly and rudely start a war now, but the integration of Greater East Asia cannot be stopped, so Zhao Ming decided to adopt another strategy, so that Japan and Donghu will willingly join the big family of Greater China.Although Chen Mingxia joined the Ming Dynasty not long ago, he knew the strength of the Ming Dynasty very well, and with the superiority of the Ming Dynasty at sea and land, the Ming Dynasty could completely coerce by force to force Donghu and Japan to submit."
Your Highness, just let them go?"
Chen Mingxia said unwillingly.Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Do it according to the widow's wishes!"
This year, the widow wants to have a good year. ”Chen Mingxia had no choice but to salute when he heard this, "The minister understands!"
”At that moment, after Chen Mingxia left the regent palace and returned to the Ministry of Rites, he immediately led the officials of the Ministry of Rites to drive the Japanese and Donghu envoys out of the post house and expel the Ming Dynasty.As a small overlord in Southeast Asia, Donghu is one of the few countries in the history of the Ming Dynasty that went to war with the Ming Dynasty and was not completely defeated.Although the conflict between Donghu and the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan was defeated in that year, the loss of Donghu was not large, and it was not completely conquered.This made Donghu form an illusion that the Ming Dynasty could not completely deal with Donghu.Under this illusion, Donghu's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty was naturally if it was a departure, they were vassals on the one hand, but on the other hand, they kept a distance from the Ming Dynasty, claimed the king and hegemony in the southeast peninsula, and even destroyed the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, wanting to be the overlord of the southeast.The envoys of Donghu learned that they would be expelled by the Ming Dynasty and given the punishment of no tribute, and after being shocked, they soon regained their composure, and the Donghu State did not rely on the Ming Dynasty in trade, and the influence of the tribute was not great.When the envoys left the post house, they boarded the ship directly and returned to the country of Donghu.The Japanese envoy Sanada Nobumichi felt a panic in his heart after receiving the announcement from the Ministry of Rites that the Ming Dynasty would expel the envoys, prohibit Japanese tribute, prohibit Japanese merchants from coming to the Ming Dynasty to trade with the Ming Dynasty's vassals, and that the Ming Dynasty would be completely hostile to Japan.The Ming Dynasty will sever the connection between Japan and the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese goods will not be sold, and the smuggling of the Ming Dynasty will continue, which will cause great losses to the Tokugawa family in Japan.In addition, after the Ming Dynasty was hostile to Japan, whether the Ming Dynasty would send troops to attack Japan or secretly subvert the Tokugawa family was a question that Sanada Nobuchi was worried about.After Sanada Nobuchi was kicked out of the post house, he did not leave immediately, but looked for a relationship in the city of Nanjing, hoping to make the Ming Dynasty change its mind, but after a few days, it was fruitless, and in the end he could only return to Japan by boat within the time limit and return to the Tokugawa family.Zhao Ming promoted Pan-Asianism based on the Ming Dynasty, only one center is needed, then it is just the Ming Dynasty, and the surrounding countries must be attached to the Ming Dynasty and integrated into the Ming Dynasty.Otherwise, if there are multiple voices in the entire alliance, it will only be a plate of scattered sand.The problem with Donghu and Japan is that their own strength is not weak, and they are not willing to be only sons and horses, but also want to be the boss, so it is impossible to easily surrender to the Ming Dynasty.If it is a small country, in the face of this situation, it will directly hug its thighs and follow the Ming Dynasty to eat and drink spicy, but for a big country, it is difficult to accept the identity of this little brother for a while.Zhao Ming knows this in his heart, and he has long expected that every country in this world has the dream of a strong country and a big country, but if you don't dream according to your own strength, the maid's life, if she wants to be a young lady, she will not be able to do it.Zhao Ming is very clear that many countries in East Asia have unrealistic illusions, and if Zhao Ming wants to integrate Greater East Asia and establish the Greater China Alliance, he must make Donghu and Japan, the two thorns, submit and domesticate them into good sons.However, this process cannot be completed overnight and will take time to implement.The New Year's party in 1663 was a happy year for Zhao Ming.After the expulsion of the two thorns of Tooo and Japan, the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty and the tributary states of the Ming Dynasty was peaceful.At the New Year's court, Zhao Ming directly announced that he would invest 1 million silver dollars each in Siam, Chenla and other countries that joined the new tributary system to develop the resources of the two countries, build water conservancy, and develop commerce.Such a large-scale investment immediately made Siam, Chenla and other countries ecstatic, but they did not expect to be able to obtain such a large-scale investment from the Ming Dynasty after joining the agreement.This is better than smashing silver down, and the economies of various countries will definitely develop rapidly, and the taxes of various countries will naturally rise.This made the countries kneel down and be convinced, and the Ming Dynasty will also get huge benefits from investment, not only to control the economy of various countries, the commercial development of various countries, but also to form a good market, to increase the sales of Ming Dynasty products.()
