Zhu Cijing, Xu Guangqi and Huang Daozhou discussed for a long time and finally decided on the reception process and reception specifications for this tribute.

Finally, Zhu Cijiu made a unified reply through telegram, and the Ming Dynasty welcomed the tributes of Nibazhai, Pazhu, Boni and Sulu, and allowed all countries to send an envoy of about a hundred people to the capital of Daming to pay tribute.

At the same time, it was also specifically stated that if you intend to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the king needs to lead the envoys to come in person.

Zhu Cijiu's meaning is very simple: either you accept the "Ming Dynasty's Victorial State Order System" and obey the Ming Dynasty; or you treat it as an ordinary friendly exchange, and you send a few trucks of gifts to express respect, and the Ming Dynasty returns you dozens of trucks of gifts to express gratitude.

However, the kings of Nibazhai, Pazhu, Boni and Sulu did not think so after receiving the reply.

The reason why Nibashu and Pazhu wanted to send envoys to pay tribute was that they were frightened by the Ming Dynasty. They knew how powerful the Mughal Empire was. If it weren't for the Persian Empire in the west, the Mughal Empire would have destroyed them long ago. Now such a powerful empire has been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty. Do you think they are afraid?

The kings of both countries thought that the Ming Dynasty was threatening them. They understood Zhu Cijiong's meaning as: either the king would lead the team to surrender, or they would deal with you!

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, the kings of both countries decided to lead the team to surrender themselves. If they anger the Ming Dynasty, they would be over.

The kings of Boni and Sulu were also frightened, but they were not frightened by the Ming Dynasty, but by the Netherlands. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty drove the Dutch away, otherwise if the Dutch were asked to find their hiding place, they would be finished!

As for surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter. They have lost their territory. There is nothing to lose. If you want to surrender, just surrender.

In addition to these four countries, another country was also frightened, the Persian Empire, which had fought against the Mughal Empire for decades.

The Persian Empire, to be precise, should be called the Persian Safavi Empire now, it was also a very powerful empire. The entire Central Asia region was almost their own world. The territory of its heyday included later Iran, Iraq, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, as well as parts of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

However, it was precisely because of the war with the Mughal Empire that they declined.

It is not that the Mughal Empire must be stronger than the Persian Safavi Empire, but because they have too many opponents. They not only have to deal with the Ottoman Empire in the west, but also the Mughal Empire in the east. Both sides have to take into account and their troops cannot be concentrated. Therefore, in the battle for Kandahar, they were defeated by the Mughal Empire.

They never thought that in just a few months, the powerful Mughal Empire was destroyed by the Ming Empire!

This is a very terrifying thing. You know, on the Eastern Front, they could not even fight the Mughal Empire. Now the east side has been replaced by a Ming Empire that can easily destroy the Mughal Empire. If you want to say that it is not a false one.

Just as they were still thinking about how to deal with the Ming Empire in the east, a more terrifying news came, and the Ottoman Empire in the west was actually discussing the alliance with the Ming Empire.

If you analyze this matter from a strategic perspective, it would be clear that after the two countries formed an alliance, they attacked from both sides at the same time and destroyed the Persian Empire in one fell swoop!

Of course, they didn't know that neither Zhu Cijiu nor Sueman had considered this issue. The two countries were not aligned to deal with the Persian Empire at all.

It was precisely because they didn't know that they were so scared that once the two countries united to deal with them, the Persian Empire would be done. Therefore, the Emperor Abbas II of the Persian Empire could no longer sit still. He immediately sent an envoy to Kandahar, hoping to get in touch with the Ming Empire.

As for why we didn't go to find the Ottoman Empire, it was very simple. Both countries have fought for more than a hundred years to compete for Central Asia. The bond is too big, so it doesn't make any sense to find them.

There is at least a little hope to find the Ming Empire. After all, the Ming Empire is a well-known country of etiquette. Its requirements are not high. It does not seek to form an alliance, but only asks not to hit me!

When Zhu Cijiu received Hou Shilu's report, he was so amazed and laughed. Who said he was going to fight the Persian Empire? This was nothing at all!

There was a reason why the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Mughal Empire. People in later generations knew that the Mughal Empire was really annoying, and it would not be possible to deal with it.

However, the Persian Empire is different. It is without any grudges and revenge. Why do you have to fight? The Ming Dynasty did not want to dominate the world!

However, since people come to deliver food on their own initiative, it is not OK to not take a few bites, because this world is so strange. When you are very strong on the surface, if you don’t take advantage of it, others will think you are afraid of him.

This kind of advantage is not taken without vain, so Zhu Cijiong generously agreed and allowed the Persian Empire to send envoys to the Ming Empire to discuss the issues between the two countries.

Then he was busy, and there were five envoys, each of which he had to personally receive.

The first one to arrive was the envoys of the Pazhu Kingdom. To Zhu Cijiu's surprise, their king actually came with him.

King Pazhu had no objection to the "Ming Dynasty's Vocational State Order System". After seeing the strength of the Ming Empire, he would not dare to say that he was not a word. Just a vassal state is better than being destroyed. The Ming Empire wants to crush them to death is like crushing an ant!

Zhu Cijing was very welcome to their voluntary surrender. He directly designated them as a second-class vassal state, and personally crowned King Phra Bamboo, awarded seals and robes, and rewarded a bunch of Chongzheng Tongbao, dragon coins, silk, cloth, porcelain and tea, etc.

As for the army, there is no need to form a special army in such a small place. Just let the Jiangnan Preparatory Legion send a thousand people to the point.

The Pazhu Kingdom was finished. Immediately afterwards, Nibashu and Pazhu were exactly the same, and were led by the king himself. In the end, Zhu Cijing also designated them as second-class vassal states and gave them a large number of supplies.

Next, Boni and Sulu envoys came together. They were all sent by the warships of the Nanyang Navy. These two kings were even more strange. After seeing the prosperity of the Ming capital, they actually asked to live there. Zhu Cijiu was also allowed to make sure that they would directly sign a hereditary count of the Ming Dynasty, and gave them a huge mansion to live in the capital with peace of mind.

In the end, only Persian envoys were left. Since the South Asian railway has not yet been built to Kandahar, they still have to travel for more than ten days to reach the nearest station before they can get on the train.
