Chapter 481: It's time to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor(1/2)

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese nation was required to surrender and envoys were sent to the Japanese nation.

The Japanese country not only gathered to pay tribute, but also killed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.

This once made Zhu Yuanzhang furious, but due to other factors, he did not conquer the Japanese country in the end.

Zhu Ying had already given instructions not to mention any agreements or anything like that, but to be severely humiliated first.

And gave Zhan Huike the order to act expediently.

The *** board just means one thing. If you dare to speak arrogant words, you will be beheaded in public.

For no other reason than to make the old man angry.

In the back hall of Huagai Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying are drinking tea here.

Hearing Zhan Hui's angry scolding in the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Okay, Zhan Hui understands our thoughts."

"These hateful Japanese dared to ignore us back then, and today we are going to let them reap the consequences."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely happy in his heart. He drank three bowls of tea in a row and felt that his thoughts were clear.

As an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing to suffer losses, but the conquest of the Japanese country was too troublesome. If Liu Ji hadn't stopped him, he would have had to fight the Japanese country hard.

In the original history, it was this year, the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, that Zhu Yuanzhang established fifteen countries that would not be conquered, and the Japanese country was among them.

But now that things have changed, naturally we won't talk about revising the ancestral injunctions to define these countries that will not be conquered.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, each of these small countries that used to feel useless for conquest had their own uses, especially with the development of commerce, from which money, food, or some rare things could be continuously obtained.

Even if there is nothing to be done for the time being, Da Sun can always think of a way.

Zhu Ying hated the Japanese from the bottom of his heart, and the current situation of the Japanese would not allow him to have any sympathy.

These current treaties are just the beginning, and there will be many subsequent measures against the Japanese country. He wants the Japanese country to truly become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

Incorporate the people of the Japanese country into the cultural system of the Ming Dynasty to truly educate the Japanese country.

Can the Emperor of Japan be as noble as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?

The eternal line of emperors will end with Zhu Ying.

The front hall of Fengtian Hall.

After being beaten, the three Japanese envoys were dragged in again.

Although it was extremely painful, the negotiation was not over and had to continue.

However, this matter of being beaten and negotiating at the same time is really a bit novel.

"Can we still talk?" Zhan Hui asked nonchalantly.

Yuan Youxin and others ignored the pain in their buttocks and said quickly, "We can talk, we can talk."

Faced with this situation, Minamoto Tomonobu and the other three had no choice. The so-called weak country has no diplomacy, and now they can only accept it forcefully.

However, when he heard the officials represented by Zhan Hui state the terms of compensation, Fujiwara Kazuo, a Japanese with a relatively hot temper, couldn't help but say:

"This is impossible. How can this be done? If this happens, your country will be in the same situation as the Emperor of Japan. This is the country of Japan. Other conditions are easy to negotiate, but it is absolutely impossible to cede the five countries."

Listening to this angry voice, Zhan Hui sneered and said: "It seems that you, a barbarian envoy, don't have a long memory for what you just received."...

"Come here, drag this man down and give me another slap in the face, and ask the Jin Yiwei who is executing the execution if he hasn't had enough to eat today. I heard that this barbarian foreign minister is very angry,**

*It’s like the board is not beaten.”

The meaning of these words is very obvious, that is, to beat him to death.

There were 200 envoys from Japan. If dozens of them were not killed, the negotiation would be in vain.

When Fujiwara Kazuo heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly explained: "That's not what I meant, I..."

Before he finished speaking, the eunuch who came over slapped him in the face, interrupting him.

But what can we say if a person is dead?

In front of Minamoto Tomonobu and another Japanese envoy, Fujiwara Kazuo was dragged out directly.

The guards in charge of executing the execution outside the door heard the eunuch's message. After looking at each other, they immediately understood that they were going to be beaten to death directly.

Now I have enough strength.

Hit him hard and straight with the cane.

Outside Fengtian Hall, the screams of Fujiwara Kazuo and the sound of strikes from the court battle could be heard.

After only about ten battles, Kazuo Fujiwara outside made no sound.

But it's a gunshot board, and you can't miss it even once. Even if you die, you have to finish it.

After the beating, the eunuch went to take a breath.

Then he went to the palace to report: "Zhan Shangshu, this barbarian's body is too weak to survive a beating. Just after the beating, he was dead."

Zhan Hui said nonchalantly: "Take the corpse to the Japanese envoys in Tianjie Temple and let them take it back to the Japanese for burial. We have no place to bury Japanese barbarians here in the Ming Dynasty."

"Especially since this guy is so rude and has absolutely no respect for me, Ming Dynasty, in his words. It's a gift not to feed the dog."

Zhan Hui is a cruel official, and it is normal to speak harshly, especially when His Highness Taisun sets the direction. In a sense, this is political correctness.

Seeing this, Yuan Yuxin and the two of them, no matter how angry they were, could only swallow it with gritted teeth and forced a smile.

By now, Yuan Yuxin understood why the emperor and crown prince of the Ming Dynasty did not come over today, because this was completely a revenge set for their Japanese envoys.

It was to retaliate against the Japanese who killed the Ming envoys when the Ming Dynasty was just established.

Moreover, Yuanyou is very clear in his confidence that if this tone is not given to Daming, then there will definitely be no progress in the negotiations.

If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty cannot be reassured, he will be dragged down forever.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yuxin was filled with bitterness. What does it mean to reap the consequences of one's own actions? And now it is.

"I said, can you still talk? If you can't talk, just go back and forth wherever you go. We and Ming Dynasty don't want to waste food." Zhan Hui continued.

Yuan Youxin said quickly: "Please know, Sir Shangguan, that we, the Japanese envoys, are sincere in discussing the matter of Japan's compensation to the Ming Dynasty."

"It's just that this condition is a little harsh. We, the envoys, cannot make the decision. It has to be decided by His Majesty the Emperor himself."

Hearing this, Zhan Hui scolded: "The smallest country dares to claim to be the emperor. It's so courageous. Doesn't this take our country, the great Ming Dynasty, in the eyes? Or do you think that your Japanese king can have me?"

Your Majesty the Ming Dynasty is noble.”….

Bang bang bang!

When Yuan Yuxin heard this, he didn't hesitate at all and slapped his mouth more than a dozen times.

Each slap was very loud, and after more than ten slaps, his face instantly swelled up, but Yuan Yushin didn't pause at all, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, which made a loud banging sound.

"The envoys of a small country do not know how high the sky is and how high they are. They are like frogs at the bottom of a well. They have offended the majesty of the higher country. I hereby apologize."

Faced with such Yuan Yuxin, even Zhan Hui could not punish him any more, but he focused on another Japanese envoy.

The Japanese envoy had been trembling with fear for a long time. He had not been able to say a few words since he arrived at Fengtian Hall.

Zhan Hui scolded: "You are so silent, are you holding in your heart to offend my majesty of the Ming Dynasty? Come, drag him down and beat the *** board again."

With one heavy word, the attitude is very clear.

The Japanese envoy, who said little, was dragged out without hesitation. After about ten minutes, the screams stopped.

According to His Highness Taisun's instructions, Zhan Hui just picked two to kill and left one to go back and send a message.

After the incident, today's negotiation will be about the same.

Zhan Hui said with some unfinished thoughts: "Okay, you should get up too. When we come back next time to talk, bring a few more people with you. I know that there are two Japanese envoys in Tianjie Temple."

Out of hundreds, only these three people are here, are they looking down on our Ming Dynasty?"

Yuan Youxin still didn't know what Zhan Hui meant. Most of the Japanese envoys who came here were going to be beaten to death, so he could only stand up and bow to him:

"I understand, I will definitely bring enough people here next time."

Although it is humiliating, there is nothing we can do about it.

The domestic situation in the Japanese country is turbulent, with hundreds of thousands of Ming troops and hundreds of thousands of Korean troops, especially firearms and other weapons that violate conventional warfare, so that the Japanese country currently does not dare to launch a large-scale attack.

If all the troops were raised and defeated, wouldn't the Japanese country be destroyed?

For the Ming Dynasty, it was just the failure of an expedition, but for the Japanese country, it was a national war after a civil war.

Japan cannot afford to lose, at least not now.

When they came, in fact, the Japanese emperor, including the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, told all the Japanese envoys that they must try their best to make the Ming army stop the expedition.

After seeing the power of firearms, no general said they had the confidence to confront the Ming Dynasty on a frontal battlefield.

When Minamoto Yushin returned to Tianjie Temple with two corpses, all the Japanese envoys were immediately delighted.

Many envoys were even glad that they had not been selected to have an audience just now, otherwise they might have been the ones who came back lying down.

However, when Minamoto Yushin told the terms of the Ming Dynasty's negotiations, all the Japanese envoys fell silent.

Then came anger.
