"I don't even need any orders, nor do I have any reason. Just tell them to stop their counterattack against Adana."
The officials and the second prince of Adan were well aware of this principle.
They also knew that when the soldiers of Adan attacked the Ming army, it was tantamount to declaring war.
Having already declared war, and now that we're in a passive position, it's unrealistic to expect the other side to show leniency.
Moreover, Zhu Yunwen was not on the fleet from beginning to end, and seemed to have no intention of getting involved in the matter. They had no reason to keep forcing Zhu Yunwen to help them.
After all, Zhu Yunwen didn't owe them anything.

Secondly, this was your own suggestion. If you truly become a vassal state, then you should abide by everything that a vassal state is obligated to do.
Upon hearing this, the officials breathed a sigh of relief, and then knelt down with the second prince before Zhu Yunwen, expressing their full support for Adan to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
I only hope that the Ming Dynasty will give the Adan Kingdom a break this time.
At this point, Zhu Yunwen smiled.
