I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Thinking of this, Dias had already foreseen the prosperity of the empire on which the sun never sets. His eyes lit up excitedly, and he couldn't help singing in a pure Spanish-Portuguese accent:

"Ah! Your hair is as black as a winter night, your neck is as white as summer snow, and your face is as red as the morning light..."

This sudden embarrassing singing, still in Spanish, stunned Zhu Youxiao for a while, and made him even more confused.

"What are you singing?"

Tang Ruowang translated the original words with a smile and said:

"Your Majesty, Sir Dias is praising your sage and martial arts, and he is happy for the friendship between Franz and Daming."

"Oh, so it's like this..." Zhu Youxiao wiped off his sweat, and he couldn't help wondering, do Westerners like to sing such a casual song?

Embarrassing, so embarrassing!

Fortunately, I don't understand...

However, Zhu Youxiao still had a smile on his face, and said:

"How can there be white snow in summer?"

Tang Ruowang explained again, "In the south of my motherland, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps stand under the blue sky all year round."

"What Sir Dias sang should be the same."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, but the desire to go and have a look aroused in his heart. He just wanted to clap his hands, but frowned again, and took them back in time before he lost his mind.

So, calmly said:

"Stop singing, talk about the conditions."

Only then did Dias recover from the ecstasy, and hurriedly said:

"This time, the Spanish Empire will sign a three-year mutual military assistance agreement with the Ming Empire. If any country is attacked, the Allies must join the war unconditionally. This is the basis of the mutual assistance agreement."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and asked:

"You Spain have enemies all over the world. After signing the agreement, wouldn't it be that Daming will send a fleet across the ocean to help you fight Protestants?"

Zhu Youxiao's words are a bit complicated. Diashi, the second knife in Chinese, can only understand roughly, and it is Tang Ruowang who played the role of translator.

After roughly understanding the meaning of these words from Tang Ruowang's mouth, Dias hurriedly said:

"No, no, no! His Majesty has misunderstood!"

"Military mutual assistance agreement, there are further treaties, we only need Ming to help maintain the trade routes between the two countries, and put some pressure on the Netherlands in the east, that's enough."

Having said that, he said with some pride:

"As long as the Armada can withdraw, the seven provinces of the Netherlands will surely return to the rule of the Emperor of Great Spain!"

Zhu Youxiao was not interested in his pride. After all, he was a person who traveled through time and knew that Spain had declined in the past few decades.

However, to show respect, he didn't say any sarcasm. Zhu Youxiao just raised his eyes and looked at him lightly, and asked:

"and then?"

Dias said: "If His Majesty the Emperor agrees to sign the agreement, I will stay here for a while and discuss with your country's foreign minister to find out the common enemy of the two countries and join it in the agreement."

"May I ask if your country's foreign minister is...?"

This question stopped Zhu Youxiao.

Foreign Secretary?

I don't seem to have thought of setting one up!

Zhu Youxiao quickly thought about the candidate in his mind. After thinking for a while, he locked on a person's name, his face remained motionless, and he could not see any fluctuations in his heart. He said calmly:

"Oh, Minister of Foreign Affairs... just look for that Xu Guangqi. Are there any more?"

Xu Guangqi believed in Catholicism, took a Christian name of Paul, and taught himself eight languages, so he should be the most suitable candidate.

Xu Guangqi is also proficient in agricultural politics and military weapons. Thinking about it this way, he is a fucking talent!

But it is indeed necessary to set up a diplomatic yamen to sort out diplomacy with the West, as well as the issue of subordinates in Asia.

There are many foreign countries that pay tribute every year, and they must be listed one by one to form a formal relationship between the clans.

Otherwise, given the current situation, you may not know when a certain foreign country will suddenly stop paying tribute secretly, and you don't know.

Zhu Youjiao was thinking, Dias continued:

"The ministers feel that it is necessary to set up a joint parliament, in the words of Daming, that is to set up a joint yamen."

"This yamen is only under the jurisdiction of the emperors of the two countries, mainly for the purpose of coordinating mutual assistance during wartime."

After speaking, he smiled as sincerely as possible, saying that he had no other intentions in proposing the establishment of this joint council.

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, the United Council, is there too many yamen established?It seems quite troublesome to set up so many new foreign affairs departments!

Or wait until I go back and throw it to the cabinet for research!

That's right, I'm tired!

Zhu Youxiao nodded in agreement, and then asked: "If there are any other terms, please tell me directly."

Dias thought for a while and said:

"No more! His Majesty Wanan!!"

After finally dealing with the Spanish matter, Zhu Youxiao turned his head and saw that there was an official waiting beside him staring blankly.

After all, I was a little tired in my heart, so I said in a serious tone: "What about you? It's been waiting for a long time, what's the matter, let's talk to me together!"

Unexpectedly, the official knelt down with a "plop":

"Your Majesty, I am a subject of Tashi Drakpa, the Great Enlightenment Master and the king of interpretation. Now Dazang has lost control of Uzang, and we need Da Ming's help!"

Zhu Youxiao was totally stunned by these words, the people from Wu Sizang actually came!

The so-called Dazang is actually the collective name of the Great Enlightenment Master and King Chanhua, who were appointed by the Ming Dynasty before, and is also the supreme leader of Uzang in name.

In the Ming Dynasty, it has always been a mystery whether the management of Uzbek and Qinghai was effective.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know about the controversies of later generations. As an emperor, he just knew clearly that his so-called rule over these two places is basically in name only!

The most obvious thing is that five years have passed since he succeeded to the throne in the 47th year of Wanli, and no one from Uzang has ever come to the pilgrimage!

They made their own officials in Uzang, and had a great time playing house, fearing that they would have forgotten the Emperor Apocalypse in the north long ago.

However, before Jiajing, Daming's management of Uzang was still effective.

Zhu Yuanzhang established Uszangdu Commanding Division and Duogandu Commanding Division, relying on the state monopoly on tea horse trade and establishing Commanding Division, Xuanwei Division, Recruiting Division, Wanhu Mansion, Thousand Households, and bestowed on the old monks of the Yuan Dynasty and other means to maintain domination.

In Zhu Di's generation, there were two dharma kings, five tribal kings, two Western Paradise Buddhist disciples, nine great national masters for empowerment, eighteen national masters for empowerment, and countless other Zen masters and monks.

In other words, during the Yongle period, there seemed to be nothing wrong with saying Uzang was the territory of Ming Dynasty.

However, during the Jiajing period, Emperor Jiajing, who believed in Taoism, seemed not to be interested in these things.

He expelled the Fan kings and monks who came to the court, revoked the Duo Gandusi and Uzangdusi, and even withdrew all the civil officials, basically belonging to the Uszang who had been freed for decades.

During the Wanli period, with the victory of the three major campaigns, Wu Sizang once again expressed his attachment. Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant at that time, represented the Wanli Emperor and once again divided the kings.

However, Zhang Juzheng did not dare to make such a big decision considering the large number of personnel changes involved in the restoration of Duogandusi and Uzangdusi.

Since then, although Daming resumed the management of Uzang in name, it is still in name only, and it has continued to this day.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know what the envoy of King Chanhua was here for, but it was probably related to the envoy he sent three years ago who claimed to support the Yellow Sect of the Gelug Sect.

Thinking of this, you might as well listen carefully.

6Chapter 17 The upcoming Zangba Khanate

U-Tsang is now a blank slate. In addition to Ming Dynasty's nominal management, there is also Tsarist Russia eager to expand in the north.

Although according to the course of history, there will be a figure named Gushi Khan who will unify Uzang and belong to the Central Plains, but that will be at least decades later.

Zhu Youxiao can't afford to wait for so many years!

The management of Uzang began to relax during the Jiajing period, and the nominal rule was restored only during the Wanli period. In his own apocalypse, it must be resolved.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao calmed down, tried to make himself look more stable, and restored his previous calm look, and said:

"What's your name, and what do you do in Uz-Tibet?"

The official quickly said: "Go back to Your Majesty, my name is Norbu, my elder brother is the attendant of the Fourth Dalai Lama, and the Fourth Dalai Lama sent a minister to meet His Majesty."

"Has the fourth Dalai Lama ever been conferred by the imperial court?" Zhu Youxiao looked to one side.

Fortunately, Wang Chaofu followed in. Zhu Youxiao didn't know about this kind of thing, but as a eunuch serving ceremonies, he was familiar with it in his heart.

"My lord, the fourth Dalai Lama, Lobsang Chokyi, was conferred by the imperial court as the Great Enlightenment Teacher and King of Explanation in the 19th year of Wanli..."

Zhu Youxiao nodded lightly after listening, and asked knowingly:

"Is there something wrong with Wu Sizang?"

Hearing this, Norbu knelt down again, with a crying tone in his words:

"There is a thief who supports a demon monk and suppresses the Yellow Sect of the Gelug Sect supported by His Majesty. He actually... forbids us to look for the reincarnated soul boy of the Fourth Dalai Lama!"

Zhu Youxiao is not very familiar with this period of history, but he also knows the meaning of this sentence in his heart.

The reincarnated soul boy system was established during the reign of Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di.

Specifically, the previous Great Enlightenment Master and King Chanhua needed to find a child with the so-called "Buddha's fate" before his death, take him as a disciple, and be ordained as a monk, so as to be the next leader of the Tibetan Yellow Sect of Uzbekistan after his death. called soul boy.

In fact, the meaning of the soul boy is similar to that of the prince. When the current Dalai Lama dies, he will be the Dalai Lama, the supreme leader of the Uzbekistan sect.

And the Yellow Sect of the Gelug Sect was not only supported by Zhu Youxiao.

Since the Yongle period, the imperial court has been using means of supporting the Yellow Sect and controlling the tea-horse trade to achieve the goal of controlling Uzang.

Until the Jiajing Dynasty, Uzang was kept in stock for decades, which directly led to the rise of the Zangba Khan who believed in the Red Sect of the Kagyu Sect.

After the efforts of three generations of Tsangpa Khans, the current Tsangpa Khan, Karmadan, has used military means to control more than half of Uzbek in the past few decades.

According to the historical process, in another three or four years, this guy will establish a country and officially declare independence.

In recent years, in order to achieve the goal of making U-Tsang an independent state, Kamadan used his own private armed forces to massacre Yellow Sect monks in the territory.

Of course, what made the conflict between the Red Sect and the Yellow Sect even more intensified was that he blatantly stopped the fourth Dalai Lama Lobsang Chokyi from looking for the reincarnated soul boy.

This is tantamount to a complete declaration of war between the Red Sect and the Yellow Sect. The Fourth Dalai Lama Lobsang Choeky knew that he could no longer remain indifferent and planned to give it a go.

Of course, the fourth Dalai Lama does not have any armed forces in his hands now.

The only way is to seek foreign aid.

In history, Lobsang Choeky was ignored in the first few years, until a few years later, a major event happened in Heshuote Mongolia, and the current leader died.

A 17-year-old boy from the Borzhijin family overwhelmed the others and succeeded the leader of Heshuote. He decided to send troops to reinforce the fourth Dalai Lama and protect the prosperous place of the Yellow Sect.

This boy, who was only 17 years old at the time, was the next generation of heroes, who unified Uz-Tibet and Qinghai, and finally returned peace to Gushri Khan in the Central Plains.

But now, due to Ming's successive victories in recent years, the court's majesty has been continuously improved, and three years ago when Zhu Youxiao started the war with Chahar, he clearly proposed to respect the Yellow Sect and suppress the Red Sect in Mongolia.

All these changes have affected the decision Lobsang Chokyi should have made. Now, he chooses to send his confidants to the court to seek assistance.

Speaking of which, this is Zhu Youxiao's butterfly effect again.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's mouth twitched slightly. Sometimes, a decision made a few years ago will have an impact a few years later, and even he himself can't guess.

However, it is the right thing to continue to use Huangjiao.

After the defeat of Chahar, the hundreds of Mongolian tribes of Left Wing Mongolia and Duoyan Sanwei continued to believe in the Yellow Sect under the protection of Ming Dynasty.

Guihua City has also become the holy land of the Yellow Sect in Mongolia.

Of course, this so-called Holy Land of the Yellow Sect was also forcibly carried out by Zhu Youxiao for the convenience of future management.

Lin Danhan can't say that he has no ability at all, but he was completely wrong in the matter of suddenly converting to the Red religion.

In contrast, it is obvious which side people's hearts will belong to!

"Monk...?" Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Be careful what kind of monk can be compared with the fourth Dalai Lama appointed by the court."

Norbu said: "This monk has extraordinary skills and can convince people. All the people will follow his teaching!"

"At present, in Tibet, apart from King Chanhua and the Great Master of Empowerment, the other four dharma kings and the masters of each sect also bow their heads and call them disciples."

Most of the other four dharma kings, the mages and monks conferred by the court have all become disciples of this monstrous monk.

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's face darkened.
