The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 277 The Japanese Envoy's Uproar
"They are all guests of my Great Ming. Since they have come to visit, let them come. Bring them up to me!"

Soon, several people dressed in strange clothes appeared in the court. They were extremely surprised when they saw the young man sitting in the court.

Although they knew that the Crown Prince was now in charge in the Ming Dynasty, they did not expect that he was so young. At this moment, the Japanese envoy looked at the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying with extreme anger.

Previously, their envoys from Japan.

They suffered many losses at the hands of this one person, and their investigation revealed that this military expedition was orchestrated by Zhu Xiong Ying, the grandson of the Ming emperor.

They had no idea how they had offended this grandson of the Ming emperor, who treated them in such a way.

"What brings the envoy from so far away to our Great Ming Dynasty?"

All the envoys turned their gazes in unison towards the Japanese envoy, clearly indicating that the Japanese envoy was the leader.

At this moment, the envoy from Japan stepped forward and spoke.

"I am Matsushita Ichiken, the envoy of the Great Wa Kingdom. I have come to the Great Ming Dynasty today to ask His Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty why he sent a large army to harass my Wa Kingdom. My Wa Kingdom has suffered heavy losses due to the attack of the Great Ming army. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty can uphold justice and compensate us. If he cannot do so, I will have to go to His Majesty or His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The newly appointed ministers fell silent. They had been quite surprised by the attack on the Japanese pirates before, but when Zhu Xiong Ying mentioned the large silver mine in Japan, the officials immediately fell silent.

It's such a waste to give such a good thing to these Japanese pirates. It would have been fine if we didn't have the strength to deal with them before, but now that we do, what else is there to consider?

As for face and such, that thing is completely useless, especially since the Ming Dynasty has many enemies as well as many friends.

I don't care about one.

Zhu Xiong Ying gave a cold laugh.

"I remember there are many Japanese pirates along the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty. These pirates are also your Japanese people. Our Ming Dynasty has said this many times, but you have not taken it seriously. Why do you still want us to give you justice?"

The Japanese envoy curled his lip and said with a look of disdain.

“Our Japan is not like those Japanese pirates. Those Japanese pirates are just a bunch of defeated scum, our defeated enemies. But the Ming Dynasty can't even beat some of our defeated enemies. Now, we seriously doubt whether the Ming Dynasty's strength is as strong as the legends say!”

The Ming officials were furious when they heard this; how dare this little Japanese talk to them like that?

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and said.

"Just how strong is the army of my Great Ming? I don't need to tell you, your Shogun of Japan should know. But this battle is truly a pity. I thought we could fight to a draw, but your Shogun, who boasts a million-strong army, was scattered after just one battle. It's very tiring for the army of my Great Ming to capture prisoners all over the mountains and plains!"

Upon hearing this, the officials in the court burst into laughter. The envoys from various countries who had accompanied the Japanese envoy also looked rather grim. The reason they dared to come with this Japanese envoy was partly because they had received a considerable amount of money, and partly because they feared that the Ming Dynasty would use the same methods against them. Now it seemed that things were not so simple.

The battle was evenly matched, but the Ming army was simply too numerous, which is why they lost. Now it seems that things are not so simple. They looked at the Japanese envoy with suspicion, and the Japanese envoy's face was extremely ugly.

This is indeed true, and it's certainly a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.

But his face turned pale and then red, and even he himself couldn't understand why the fighting strength of their Japanese nation had declined so drastically.

After getting to this point, he cleared his throat and looked at Zhu Xiong Ying in front of him.

"No matter what, Japan is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. It is truly disheartening that the Ming Dynasty treats its vassal state this way!"

"Knowing what other countries will think, if the Ming Dynasty were to use the same methods against other countries, then which country in the world could withstand the Ming Dynasty's army!"

The vassal states of these countries were all shocked upon hearing this.

Thinking about it carefully, it does seem to be true. The strength of the Ming Dynasty is greater than that of all other countries combined. They have even defeated Japan, a country that has never been a contender for power. What need is there to say about the other countries? The faces of the group were very grim. At this moment, the envoys from various countries exchanged glances, nodded firmly, and stepped forward to speak.

"We are all the most loyal allies of the Ming Dynasty. We beg His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty to guarantee that he will never attack our country again!"

Zhu Xiong Ying frowned. It seemed that he had been too lenient with these countries, making them unable to distinguish between the major and minor kings. It would be easy for the Ming Dynasty to attack them. In the past, the Ming Dynasty had too many limiting factors, but now the Ming Dynasty was strong enough to attack whomever it wanted, so it naturally did not need to care about too many things.

If we are restricted by these small countries, then our Ming Dynasty will be ridiculed.

"Our Great Ming will never attack a country without a reason, unless that country has gone too far. Perhaps you don't know that many of the Japanese pirates along the southeastern coast of our Great Ming are actually Japanese people in disguise!"

"It's all for the purpose of harassing the people of my Great Ming Dynasty and then extracting more gold and silver treasures from them!"

"After looting, they will transport all of these things back to their own country!"

At this moment, not only the envoys from various countries, but also many officials of the Ming Dynasty were extremely shocked when they heard these words.

Many of them didn't know much about the Japanese pirate problem in the southeast, and just felt that doing this seemed a bit inappropriate. But after hearing this, their faces turned extremely ugly.

They felt somewhat guilty for wanting to seize Japan's silver mines, so they launched a large-scale attack on Japan for the money. If that didn't work, they would at least give them some compensation.

They were about to try to dissuade them when they heard that these people dared to impersonate Japanese pirates and wreak havoc on the southeastern coast.

Now, looking at the anger in Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes, they understood perfectly. It seemed that what they had done was indeed the right thing to do; these Japanese pirates were truly wolves in sheep's clothing.

Envoys from other countries felt a headache when they learned of this.
