At the regent's residence, Zhao Ming's face was no longer happy or angry when he heard Chen Mingxia's return.

Chen Mingxia raised her head and looked at Zhao Ming, then lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, Dongzhao dares to fight against the Ming Dynasty. We should launch a large army to wipe out it. Japan does not know how to promote it. I think it is a navy and force it to compromise."

The agreement was not signed successfully and the result was not satisfactory. The two most populous vassal states in East Asia were unwilling to join the agreement. Entering the new tribute system means that his negotiations were basically failed.

This made Chen Mingxia very worried that Zhao Ming would blame him, so he wanted to turn the blame on Dongshu and Japan, because they did not take the Ming Dynasty seriously.

Zhao Ming shook his head slightly, "I ordered Dongxu and Japanese envoys to leave Nanjing within a specified period of time, prohibit the two countries from tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and be ranked as enemy countries of the Ming Dynasty, and restrict the trade between the merchants of the two countries with the Ming Dynasty and all tribute countries."

Regarding the conquest of Japan, Zhao Ming is actually very interested in his personal bad taste and wants to travel back and forth to Japan.

However, from the perspective of interests, it is completely thankless. Moreover, there was no hatred between the Ming Dynasty and Japan at this time. The Ming Dynasty won the battle between Korea not long ago, so the Ming Dynasty was actually just a relatively unfamiliar defeated man against Japan.

Therefore, Zhao Ming will not conquer Japan in a short period of time.

In contrast, Touo, which is the Myanmar region, has a greater temptation to Zhao Ming.

If the Ming Dynasty could control Dongshu, it would become a two-way country, and the fleet would not need to detour through Malacca.

Of course, now, due to the blocked roads and the transportation on land is not as convenient as the sea, this strategic advantage cannot be reflected. However, occupying Dongshuo will be of great benefit to the future Ming Dynasty and is a grand strategy to benefit future generations.

In addition, if India is in sight, Zhao Ming can use this place as a springboard to compete with Wu Sangui and Britain for India, a large market with a population of more than 100 million.

One of the prerequisites for the industrial revolution is to have a huge market. Whoever has a large market will be more likely to be the first to complete the industrial revolution.

Therefore, Japan and Touyu, Zhao Ming would put Touyu in front.

However, the Ming Dynasty has just been unified and has launched a war rashly, which is because it is not prepared enough, and the other is that it is not sufficient for reasons, which can easily leave a bad reputation for the surrounding area.

The country above the Celestial Empire has its own physical principles and a responsible image as a great power.

Therefore, Zhao Ming does not want to launch a war directly and rudely, but the integration of Greater East Asia cannot stop, so Zhao Ming decided to adopt another strategy to allow Japan and Tou to willingly join the Greater China family.

Although Chen Mingxia joined the Ming Dynasty shortly after he knew the strength of the Ming Dynasty. With the advantages of the Ming Dynasty on sea and land, the Ming Dynasty could have been able to coerce with force to force Dongxu and Japan to surrender.

"Your Highness, let them go like this?" Chen Mingxia said unwillingly.

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Do as I want to do it! I want to have a good New Year this year."

Chen Mingxia had to salute when she heard the words, "I understand!"

Chen Mingxia left the Regent's Mansion and returned to the Ministry of Rites, and immediately led the Ministry of Rites officials to drive the Japanese and Dongyu envoys out of the inn and out of the Ming Dynasty. He was unwilling to accept it and threatened to attack the two countries.

As a small overlord in Southeast Asia, the Dongyu Kingdom was one of the few countries in the history of the Ming Dynasty that went to war with the Ming Dynasty but was not completely defeated.

Although the conflict between Dongyu and the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan was defeated by the Dongyu Kingdom, the Dongyu Kingdom actually suffered not much loss and was not completely conquered.

This made Dongxu feel an illusion that the Ming Dynasty could not completely do anything to Dongxu.

Under this illusion, Dongxu's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty was naturally close and distant. They were obedient while complacent, but at the same time kept a distance from the Ming Dynasty, becoming kings and dominating the Southeast Peninsula, and even destroying the Ming Dynasty's vassals, wanting to be the Southeast overlords.

The envoy of Dongyu learned that he would be expelled by the Ming Dynasty and was punished by Jue Gong. After being shocked, he soon returned to calm. Dongyu's country had no dependence on the Ming Dynasty in trade, and Jue Gong had little impact.

The envoy of Dongyu left the inn, then boarded the boat and returned to the country of Dongyu.

Japanese envoy Sanada Shindo, after receiving the announcement from the Ministry of Rites that the Ming Dynasty would expel the envoys, prohibit Japanese tributes, and prohibit Japanese merchants from coming to trade with the Ming Dynasty's vassal states. The Ming Dynasty would be completely hostile to Japan, but felt a sense of panic in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty would cut off Japan's ties with the Ming Dynasty. Japan's goods could not be sold, and the Ming Dynasty's smuggling would continue, which would cause great losses to the Tokugawa family in Japan.

In addition, after the Ming Dynasty was hostile to Japan, whether the Ming Dynasty would send troops to attack Japan or secretly subvert the Tokugawa family was all a concern for Sanada Shindo.

After Sanada Shindo was driven out of the inn, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he searched for relationships in Nanjing, hoping to make the Ming Dynasty change his mind. However, after a few days, it was ineffective. In the end, he could only return to Japan by boat within the deadline and report to the Tokugawa family.

Zhao Ming only needs one center to promote pan-Asianism with the Ming Dynasty as the main focus, and that is only the Ming Dynasty. The surrounding countries must rely on the Ming Dynasty and integrate into the Ming Dynasty. They cannot also want to be the boss themselves, so that the Greater China Alliance can continue.

Otherwise, if there are multiple voices in the entire league, it will only be a mess.

The problem with Touo and Japan is that they are not weak in their own strength, and they are unwilling to be just sons and mascots, and they also want to be bosses, so they cannot easily surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

If a small country faces this situation, it will be a big country to hold on to the top and follow the Ming Dynasty to enjoy the delicious and spicy food, but for a big country, it will be difficult for this little brother to accept the identity of this little brother for a while.

Zhao Ming knew this in his heart and had long expected that every country in this world has a dream of a strong country and a great country. However, if he does not dream based on his own strength, his maid's life will be overestimated by his own ability.

Zhao Ming knew very well that many countries in East Asia had unrealistic fantasies. If Zhao Ming wanted to integrate Greater East Asia and establish the Greater China Alliance, he had to make Dongyu and Japan surrender and domesticate them into good sons.

However, this process cannot be completed in one go, and it takes a certain amount of time to implement it.

The 1663 New Year's Day celebration was a happy year for Zhao Ming.

After expelling the two thorns of Touo and Japan, the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty was peaceful.

At the New Year's Day meeting, Zhao Ming directly announced that one million silver dollars were invested in countries such as Siam, Zhenla, and other countries that joined the new tribute system to develop resources from both countries, build water conservancy, and develop commerce.

Such a huge investment immediately made Siam, Zhenla and other countries ecstatic. Unexpectedly, after joining the agreement, they could obtain such a large-scale investment from the Ming Dynasty.

If this is more than money, the economies of various countries will definitely develop rapidly, and the taxes of various countries will naturally rise.
