Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 978 Today: Are there still vassal states in the South China Sea?
That's right, in the Nanming period of the World of Red Mansions, there were also Japanese riots that were not small.

In fact, whether it is the Japanese riots in normal history or the Japanese riots in the world of Red Mansions, they are actually just means of fighting between the imperial court and local forces.

For their own benefit, local forces actively colluded with overseas Japanese pirates, harassed the local area, created chaos, and weakened the imperial court's control over the local area.

As for the nonsense about the treacherous officials in the court and the chaotic situation in the court, it is just a cover to cover up the actual situation.

The Nanming Dynasty Hall was really chaotic, and there were many mountains fighting endlessly for their own interests.

Corruption is serious, officials at all levels wantonly exploit the people, and the financial revenue of the imperial court cannot make ends meet, which has reached the point of being unsustainable.

But the court must always be maintained, the people have so much oil and water, even if they are drained, it is not enough.

What should I do?
Almost all dynasties encountered such things and would resort to tax increases.

The key point is that the Nanming court put the object of making money on the wealthy maritime merchants, and wanted to scrape off a few more layers of oil and water.

But if the Haishang family refused to agree, it would only disrupt the local order and force the court to make concessions, so there was a Japanese riot that lasted for many years.

Nima, this is the real rich and invincible country.

In fact, what happened to the Japanese Rebellion, in fact, all the powerful Nanming bosses knew it very well.

If the plot of the novel is not fictional but real, then the South China Sea is definitely a huge treasure.

In the recent plot of the novel "Overseas Founding", the most concerned thing today is the fact that the many island kingdoms in the South China Sea were taken down by foreign barbarians.

If it is possible to arrange for millions or even 1000 million people to relocate to islands in the South China Sea, how much trouble can the Nanming court save?
Even though this was just a pig's foot's delusion, he still sent his confidantes, even relatives and family members who needed him, to follow the sea merchants for a few walks in the South China Sea, and even went to visit those uninhabited islands.

The plot of the novel focuses on the efforts of the pig's feet, as well as the resistance from various aspects, which made the audience uncomfortable for a while and panicked.

Even the order to clean up the green-skinned ruffians on the street, the low-level officials in the yamen also pushed back and forth, with a posture of reluctance.

In particular, when he heard that many islands in the South China Sea with indigenous peoples were occupied by foreigners from abroad, and they became the queen there, such thoughts and thoughts became even more intense.

Really, the idea of ​​Zhujiao is that it is better to benefit the people who cannot live in Nanming than to let the foreign foreigners take advantage of it.

They are the top existence of the Daqian Dynasty. When did such a big piece of fat lose their share?

It's not that the audience's awareness and insight have reached this level, maybe they didn't even have such an idea in the past.

It's a novel, but the description is very clear. The population of the indigenous kingdoms there is a little pitiful.

Regardless of whether those maritime merchants in Fucheng participated or not, in short, as a government, it can justifiably make a heavy hand, and no one else can say anything bad about it.

Of course, they are not without doubts. Such news has been blocked by the big clans along the southeast coast, so it is not impossible.

The South China Sea is a vast area with countless islands.

In addition, these descriptions of the South China Sea island scenery are just plots in novels after all, and no one knows whether they are true or not?

Soon he knew what was going on, and while secretly scolding Jia Rong in the Ning Mansion as a bastard, he quickly sent the news back to the southeast, asking certain existences to get ready.

It is not necessary to go to the islands with native kingdoms, it is also possible to go to those deserted islands where the environment is harsh, but they can open up wasteland and farm land.

When he comes back, he is afraid that he will be crowned as the Lord of Fanbang.

The halls and places of the Southern Ming Dynasty are like a huge spider web, and everything inside is contained in some unbearable rules called ordinary people.

For example, spices, gemstones, and precious wood, etc., all of which are expensive things in Daqian.

As for what happened to the pig's feet, there are no waves in my heart today, and I don't have the slightest sense of substitution.

In other words, that was the area of ​​sweet potato influence of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Thinking in another way, if they have such news and channels, they will completely block the news as soon as possible, and monopolize the huge benefits.

Many islands are not small in size but are uninhabited. Some islands have a large population and there is a Fanbang Kingdom.

But the rest of the audience didn't think so. There is no place to stay here, but there is a place to stay.

When the Nanming court was overthrown and the southeast sea merchants lost the threat from the government, they naturally didn't need to continue to toss about, and the Japanese pirate rebellion gradually subsided.

Even, if the pig's feet can't withstand the pressure to go to sea, he will think that the pig's feet are nothing more than that, and it is definitely a stupid act of self-destructive future.

Otherwise, the Qibao eunuch's voyage to the West during the Chengzu period of the former Ming Dynasty would not be so smooth.

However, without the full support of the proprietor behind it, the life of the pig's feet is not easy, and many policies cannot be implemented at all.

Of course, the situation of the pig's feet is rather special, and the audience had been paved for it before, but it didn't arouse much resentment.

In Zhujiao's view, if you want to go to these South China Sea islands to survive, it is best to go there in an organized and planned way, and you must make the best preparations you can.

Of course, it would be best if it could be organized by the government, but that is impossible.

When a courtier completely loses control of going to sea, the mood of being an emperor is generally not very good, and the same is true today.

Although he was in a rather unhappy mood, Zhujiao still tried his best to give full play to his own advantages and gave the ordinary people under his command a breathing space.

These islands vary in size. The big one may be as large as half of the Central Plains, while the small one is just a reef out of the sea.

As for developing overseas, I never even thought about it. Once I leave, I lose my legitimacy.

It can only be said that the development of maritime trade has many benefits. At least ordinary people in Nanming are not ignorant of the situation in the outer sea.

Again, ordinary listeners just listened for fun, but some listeners heard amazing benefits.

As long as they think of this possibility, the dignitaries in Beijing will feel a kind of crazy restlessness in their hearts.

What overseas, where is that?
When barbarians enter China, they become Huaxia, and when China enters barbarians, they become barbarians!
This is the entire land of the Central Plains, which has continued for 2000 years of inherent thinking, and it is not easy to break if you want to break it.

If the news is true, the big clans in the southeast coast don't know how much money they have earned in private, maybe it is higher than the treasury income of the whole year of working hard, right?

Everyone is playing like this. They didn't feel anything before, but now they have the urge to kill.

The Emperor Nanming could claim to be the orthodox heir of the Ming Dynasty, but once he went to sea, he would be nothing.

There must be a supplementary eating skill, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.

Today's mind is different from that of the rich and powerful.

Pig's feet have also learned about it through many maritime merchants, and they are no strangers to the situation in the South China Sea, and it can even be said that they have a deep understanding.

You must know that since the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, many island kingdoms in the South China Sea have been greatly influenced by the civilization of the Central Plains.

It's such a small population, but occupying such a good place, it's too wasteful, if they can reach out, they won't be able to make a fortune?

What he can do is to organize people to spend a lot of money to kill all the so-called "Japanese pirates" who dare to invade the jurisdiction, and he doesn't bother to distinguish how many real Japanese and how many fake Japanese are among them.

Although the description of the exotic scenery on the island is not very detailed, it can still give the audience a rough and vague idea.

What is even more difficult is that there are often a large number of families, and most families have more than three children, which is really difficult to support.

The Japanese rebellion encountered in Nanming began in the middle of it, until the fall of the Nanming court, and then slowly extinguished.

Even for the people in the coastal prefectures, life has become more difficult for the naked eye.

However, what makes them hesitate is, why have they never heard of such news before?

seriously?
Some beings with strength and status came alive with their minds.

The decay of the Southern Ming dynasty and the harsh exploitation by local tyrants made it impossible for the common people to survive.

At that time, the north was full of wars. If one wanted to do something and protect the safety of the people, the only way was to go to sea.

What's even more exaggerated is that there are even women who are kings, and it is a local tradition.

It can be said that among the many islands in the South China Sea, many of them can accommodate the people of Nanming who are struggling to survive.

But that's the case, even a little bit of misfortune can ruin the family.

That's right, the Nanming court couldn't collect taxes from gentry and wealthy merchants, so couldn't it just squeeze ordinary people desperately?

His way of thinking and gaze are naturally quite different from those of the rich and powerful.

But now that it has been occupied by foreigners from abroad, the influence of the Central Plains Dynasty will definitely be greatly affected.

As mentioned in the novel, most of the island kingdoms in the South China Sea are vassal states of the Central Plains Dynasty and belong to the traditional sphere of influence.

The strife in the court, the malicious intentions of the local tyrants, the lack of cooperation of the low-level officials, the hind legs of the proprietor behind the scenes, and whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters.

Therefore, some caring people could only calm down and quietly send their confidantes to the southeast coast to inquire about the specific situation.

What they didn't know was that many people had already been staring at them, but this behavior confirmed certain things, which made the dignitaries in Beijing even more agitated.

The large ones even cover more than half of the provinces in the Central Plains, and the medium-sized ones also have a mansion. As long as they are properly developed and arranged for millions or even tens of millions of people to live on the island, it will not be a problem at all.

Unless, you can risk your life to break through and stand up.

The Southern Ming court did not show any mercy to those people who went to sea, and directly defined them as fugitives.

Even if you ask yourself at this time, if you encounter the situation of Emperor Nanming, the situation will not be much better.

When Zhujiao was in the prefect of the coastal prefecture, he often encountered people who couldn't survive and planned to go to the South China Sea with a sea boat.

The scenery of the islands in the South China Sea described in the novel, and some special products of the islands in it, are all top-notch luxury products here in Daqian.

There are only a handful of so-called big countries with a population of tens of millions, usually around a million or so, and there are even many island kingdoms with a population of only hundreds of thousands or even a few hundred thousand.

These things made the audience very eye-opening, and at the same time, they couldn't help but make some comments, thinking that barbarians are barbarians, and they don't know ethics at all.

In short, the environment is very different from the Central Plains, where there are also various kingdoms, with all kinds of weird patterns.

Not to mention how the pig's feet's wife, children, and parents feel in the novel, in short, the hearts of the audience are quite heavy.

Those courtiers who were born in the southeast suddenly felt inexplicable pressure, and felt that their colleagues were looking at them strangely.

Of course, there are also people with keen minds who vaguely guessed the follow-up development.

In the past, they were the ones who blocked the news, but now they are the ones who have blocked the news, which is really unacceptable.

And these, on the island where they are produced, are actually very rich, not considered rare items, just like the special products of a certain place in the Central Plains.

Among other things, the few deserted islands he knew were not small in size.

This is the world of Red Mansions. What has happened has been recorded in the history books of the Daqian Dynasty, and it is relatively detailed.

Of course, the problem is not without it, and it is quite serious.

At least relying solely on farming, there is no way to support a family.

There are only a few real Japanese pirates, and the vast majority of Japanese pirates are pirates supported by maritime merchants, as well as private armed forces.

At that time, the total population of the Nanming area was probably only about 7000 to [-] million.

Because Zhu Kou was born in poverty, he didn't have such an idea.

He felt that since the Nanming area could no longer keep the people alive, it would not be unacceptable to organize the people to go overseas to open up wasteland.

Not to mention the reaction of the audience, in short, the pig's feet are going through such absurd things, and they feel very angry, but helpless.

It's so hard, it's so hard!
Pig's foot has only been a magistrate in the coastal prefecture city for five years, and his body and energy are at the peak of his thirties, but his hair has already grown prematurely.

At the end of the dynasty, good officials couldn't show their skills.

Pig's feet can't really do much, that is, try to find a chance for ordinary people to survive and breathe.

Environmental adaptation problems, as well as various tropical diseases, can make the people of Nanming on the island suffer a lot, and even kill them all.

Once out to sea, the impression in the hearts of the audience is that of barbarians.

If it weren't for the fact that many island kingdoms in the South China Sea belonged to the former Ming Dynasty, the huge fleet led by the Qibao eunuch would have fought all the way there.

Even if they can win, it is a dream to do business with the opponent and exchange the special products of the Central Plains for local gold, silver and jewelry.

The question is, since the founding of Dagan, it seems that many island kingdoms in the South China Sea have not taken the initiative to pay tribute to them. Is it because they are controlled by foreign barbarians.

If this is the case, it is absolutely intolerable...
