It is not difficult to imagine that as long as a hegemon appears among the countries, it will inevitably unify the countries. A small Western country is naturally not worth mentioning, but dozens or hundreds of countries are combined into one, and it becomes an unnegligible force.

The central dynasty will never allow a giant to appear in its southern border. If you keep the door closed and do not interact with them, according to the historical process, the West will be unified in the end.

However, the tribute system ensured this. As the superior state, the Ming Dynasty included all small countries in its own system. The Ming Dynasty promised to protect all countries. Even at this time, a powerful lord appeared among the countries. For example, Annan's national strength was strong. If it wanted to get involved in Zhenla or Siam, it would not dare to use troops easily!

Why? Because Annan is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, as are Siam and Zhenla. If you dare to move, it means you have completely cut off relations with the Ming Dynasty and may face the Ming Dynasty's attack at any time. Even with the order of the Ming Dynasty, the Western countries will not only feel your threat, but naturally they will also assist the Ming army in fighting. Annan is still strong in the West, but in the consortium of the Ming Dynasty and the entire Western countries, it is simply an ant. Therefore, even if it has great ambitions, it must have to put it away obediently, otherwise it will end up without a burial place.

In the Indian subcontinent, the Mauryan Dynasty and Mughals appeared, the Arab Empire and the Ottoman Empire appeared on the junction of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and Rome and Frank appeared in Europe. However, in the West, because of the existence of this vassal tribute system, there are always hundreds of countries here, but the central dynasty can become the communist here with absolute transcendent strength.

This is true here. In the Liaodong area, Japan did not dare to get involved in North Korea, and even Ryukyu was protected by the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty's foreign policies will always be based on maintaining this tribute system. Only by maintaining this system can the Ming Dynasty concentrate on guarding the real enemy in the north.

Take Emperor Taizu Gao’s legacy for example. It is precisely because Emperor Taizu Gao saw this clearly that he made a lot of lessons in the great edict.

Japan's disintegration and despair are essentially a huge blow to the tribute system. This is why Ye Chunqiu was criticized and many people used it to criticize it.

But now...

The king of Japan suddenly appeared here, and he was so shameless that he licked him so hard that everyone could not help but think that time and space were in a mess.

But in fact, Ashikaga Yoshikazu's actions today undoubtedly gave countless people in the court a reassurance, which was an amazing victory in the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty, not only a great success. With the surrender of Japan, the tribute system was strengthened and the Ming Dynasty was removed from a heart-wrenching problem.

But the problem is...

When everyone pulled their thoughts back to the most realistic situation, almost everyone had a doubt. Didn’t this Zhenguo Mansion naval attack Japan?

Since it attacked Japan, shouldn’t the king of Japan hate Ye Chunqiu and the Ming Dynasty? Shouldn’t he tell Ye Chunqiu and Zhenguo’s case well in this palace?

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore. As if he had been holding it in for a long time, he finally burst out and said fiercely: "I dare to ask Your Highness..."

Ashikaga Yoshitaki seemed very calm. Looking at the person who was talking, the other party was a little rude and looked like he was angry. He only heard him say, "I heard that the navy of Zhenguo Mansion attacked Japan, is there any such incident?"

Ashikaga Yoshiki spread his hands, without hesitation at all, and said, "No."

When the words Ashikaga Yoshikazu echoed in the hall, Liu Daxia, who was standing beside him, felt as if his chest was hit hard, and his face suddenly turned pale.

No……

Why didn't it not?

This news was circulating.

Because of this, everyone thinks that Ye Chunqiu destroyed the laws of his ancestors, Jiangnan is making trouble, and the capital is making trouble, and everyone is worrying about you, Japan. You are so funny, but now in front of so many people, you actually deny it?

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and suddenly became energetic, and he hurriedly said, "Oh? I have also heard some news. Things are straightforward. It's better for the Qing family to clarify it here."

Ashikaga Yoshitaki felt that everyone's eyes were suddenly gathered on him, but he said calmly: "The Japanese pirates are both a stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty and a heart disease of the Xia Kingdom. These Japanese pirates are unruly, bold and cruel, so the Xia Kingdom repeatedly wanted to eliminate this great trouble forever. Fortunately, the Xia Kingdom was mighty and sent a fleet to chase and suppress the Japanese pirates. The Zhenguo Mansion Nakao was a model of the royal army, pursuing the Japanese pirates all the way to Osaka. Osaka Dainame Takeda Hiroyi, named Daming, but in fact they were self-respecting and sheltering the Japanese pirates. When he saw the Wang army coming to rescue our Japanese army, he was originally to save our Japanese country from the fire and fire.

It is said that the so-called "hanging pot to save the world" is, and Takeda Hiroyi tried to block the chariot for the sake of the Japanese pirates, and the mayfly shook the trees and resist the heavenly soldiers. So the heavenly soldiers would come down to earth like gods. In an instant, they called Takeda Hiroyi, the group of Japanese pirates, so that the Xia country would not have to suffer from the Japanese pirates from now on. This is the virtue of the upper country's life. When the Japanese country learned about this, they ran around and told each other, and were overjoyed. What's more, some people put on incense tables, burned incense and prayed, and were grateful for the holy virtue of His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The whole country celebrated, and the Ming Dynasty rained and dewed, and the country was evenly affected, and the world was moved."

“…”

All civil and military officials were very consistent and were stunned at this time.

Although Liu Daxia was kneeling on the ground, his body couldn't hold on anymore and he suddenly collapsed on the ground.

If you beat him hard, he is still grateful to you? Not only do you thank you, but you also say that the person who was beaten was a Japanese pirate. If these words were said by Ye Chunqiu, then of course countless people would scold Ye Chunqiu for being shameless. But this was what the King of Japan said in person. As the victim insisted on, can you still say this is a lie? The truth of the facts, only I, who is not close to, knows clearly. Isn’t this a joke?

If so...

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath.

Does this mean that Ye Chunqiu did not violate the laws of his ancestors at all. Since he was just chasing Japanese pirates, this was the matter of the navy. In this way, Ye Chunqiu not only did not attack Japan, but instead made contributions to killing the enemy, but also eliminated the Japanese pirates in Japan, which led to the Japanese happily surrendering.

This is not a crime, it is simply a great achievement.

So, since Ye Chunqiu is innocent, aren’t those who run to Taimiao to cry and sue?

The bigger joke is that Liu Daxia Liu Gong was just talking about the law of his ancestors, but...
