Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1214 Joint Letter

Just when Gao Wushi became more and more worried about the production safety of Huang Zhiting, the news from Dingnan made him especially nervous.

This world is worthwhile, just after returning to the first-ranking scholar in Jinggongfang in Zhaohui, a family member told him that Nanjiu was coming to report, which made him nervous and hurried into the study.

Looking at the well-painted special envelope on the desk, Gao Wushi took a deep breath and carefully opened it to take a look...

Ok?
Isn't it about having children?
Gao Wushi seemed to be both discouraged and relieved. He sat down on the chair of the Grand Master, stretched back without any image, put his hand on his forehead, and whispered, "What government report to send at this time? Scared me to death."

But having said that, the government affairs report is also to be read. He calmed down for a while, then sat up straight and opened the report to read.

I was stunned at this.

Led by Huang Zhiting himself, a letter signed by a large number of important people in southern Xinjiang, like a memorial, was placed in front of him.The gist of it is very simple, that they believe that the Kingdom of Cambodia should not be preserved.

This is very strange, why do you care about this?Isn't this obviously contrary to my previous idea of ​​vacating the royal family and ruling in secret?
Gao pragmatic frowned suddenly.

The reason why his previous plan was always to vacate the royal family without dethroning it was an important aspect of maintaining local stability, because these royal families were the representatives of the local people after all. Resist, which can greatly reduce the cost of domination.

This idea was learned from the Western colonists in the original history, but Gao pragmatic did not intend to keep learning it, because he still had his own plans for the second half.

According to his plan, this "indirect rule" is limited.The condition for determining this period is very simple. It does not mean that Jinghua has actually occupied a certain country and a certain place for how many years, but an exact data - the proportion of the population.

A highly pragmatic idea is that when Han people (actually including Tongren, etc. in the Jinghua ruled area, these ethnic minorities in the Ming Dynasty are generally classified as Han people) and "naturalized Han people" occupy more than half of the kingdom's population, it can be The preparations for dethroning the royal family are about to begin—of course, generally speaking, a gentler-looking means such as "concession" will be considered.

However, according to the calculations of high pragmatism, this time should arrive relatively late, because even Annan, who has the highest degree of Sinicization, high pragmatism believes that it will take at least 20 years to achieve this condition.

After all, in Annan's territory alone, there are more than 500 million native Annan people, and Jinghua has limited means to increase the proportion of "Han people", mainly immigrants and naturalized Han people.

Another important point is that, counting from the time he took Annan, more than [-] years can just “train” a generation, and this generation grew up under the “full-coverage cultural invasion” environment of Jinghua. Big, their sense of identification with the Han people and Beijing will be far more than their parents and grandparents.

When this generation has become the mainstream of society, especially after it has become Jinghua's stable "soldier pool", Jinghua can be completely unafraid of the possible resistance of the local people.By then, it will be a matter of course and a matter of course to replace the royal family that has gradually receded behind the scenes.

Gao's pragmatic style is the same as before. He is not Yang Guang, and he will not think about building a grand canal in three or five years, and then shake his foundation and push the wall against everyone.

Just like he is commanding a battle, he generally doesn't consider any surprise soldiers, but prefers to fight steadily.What is unacceptable to spend 20 years to expand a stable territory the size of a kingdom for one's own nation?
What's more, the "assimilation" work of these kingdoms is not completed one after another, and the time difference between them is not big. When the plan is finally completed, it may also be "one after another".

With immigration and the "naturalized household registration system", in a few decades, the locals will definitely become a minority, or even disappear directly - most of them have been "naturalized" into Han Chinese.

Moreover, this kind of naturalization is also a means of survival of the fittest. Excellent people are naturalized as Han Chinese, and the rest... demise is normal.

It is better to die normally than to engage in genocide. At least Gao pragmatism can have a clear conscience: It’s not that I didn’t give you a chance, it’s not that I didn’t give you a choice, but you just won’t make progress or work hard. What can I do?I can't change your blood or your brain either.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest!
In addition to the above reasons, another reason why Gao pragmatic has not considered dethroning the local royal family is more "realistic".

avoid arousing suspicion.

After all, he is still a minister of Daming, and the other party is still a vassal state of Daming. He is highly pragmatic and deposed the king of the vassal state of Daming as a minister of Daming. This is not justified in legal terms!
Of course, Daming's attention to this type of jurisprudence may not be comparable to that of European countries, but Daming has another type of emphasis: monarch, monarch, ministers and ministers.

You Gao Gongbao abolished the king of a certain country in the southern border. Now, do you want me, Daming, to make you the king?So are you going to be a king, or are you going to continue serving as a minister in my Ming Dynasty?

When ruling indirectly, Gao pragmatic can completely avoid this problem, because no matter how strong the Jinghua Group is, it is only a "national policy advisory group", but once indirect becomes direct, this issue can only be discussed on the stage.

What's more, there is not only one country in the southern border. Which country do you plan to be the king of?

Oh, do you still want to be the king of the entire southern border?When my Ming court is a fool!

If southern Xinjiang is unified, there will be at least 2000 million people (actually more than that). Thinking about how Annan made Daming work so hard at the beginning, if you are so pragmatic and unified southern Xinjiang, I, Daming, can still sleep soundly?

Yes, the relationship between Zhu Yijun and Gao pragmatism is very unique and very unusual. During his time in power, there may be a certain chance that the unification of Gao pragmatism will not be regarded as a frontier threat, but what if Zhu Yijun is gone?
National affairs are not child's play. The emperor may think that Gao is pragmatic and reliable, but the officials may not think so, especially when Gao is pragmatic and has a lot of political enemies.And after the emperor who had a unique friendship with him is gone, it may be the period when their younger generation is in power, and the relationship between Daming and the unified southern border may become a situation of "had to fight".

why?
Because Gao pragmatism still has a lot of things to do, especially the change of the national will, this is very important.Under the current national will, Daming can only recognize that the surrounding is its vassal state, and will never recognize that there is an existence in the surrounding that can threaten it.

Moreover, Daming's power of "going to the ocean" now follows him with high pragmatism. Once he is high and pragmatic, will this power be stifled in the bud by traditional forces in turn, causing Daming to continue to ignore the ocean and only focus on the land?
Probably.

And what about Southern Xinjiang at that time?It may go to the ocean, but it also cannot ignore the land, because the southern border is actually in the middle of the two land power empires - the Ming Dynasty and the Mughal Empire.

You just pay attention to sea power. If Daming suddenly wants to beat you, or the Mughal Empire at its peak today wants to beat you, will you resist or not?

Most of them can't resist, because under this premise, it is difficult for Gao pragmatism to complete the Sinicization of southern Xinjiang. How can there be any hope of victory by relying on these local people?
But if he didn't resist, Haiquan's hope would "collapse".Then he was high and pragmatic and worked hard for more than ten years or even decades. In the end, wasn't it Nanke's dream?
Therefore, the officials of Daming have to continue to work. If the internal of Daming is not sorted out, many things will not continue to be carried out at all. Not only must they be "cleared", but even the national system must be adjusted in the end.

Even if there is no need to say those words for the time being, at least at the moment, Gao pragmatic does not think that he wants to "expose" his "ambition", and the peaceful evolution of southern Xinjiang should be persistent and slow.

However, after Gao Wushi looked carefully, he realized that Huang Zhiting and the others did not want to “persuade entry” now, because the solution they proposed for the Kingdom of Cambodia was not to depose the royal family and let Gao Wuji come to power, but to divide it up.

Huang Zhiting suggested that the Kingdom of Cambodia should be divided into "three divisions": Siam divided the entire western part including Phnom Penh, Annam divided the southeastern part, and Nanzhang could also obtain the northeastern part of Cambodia.

Gao Wushi continued to watch with an expressionless face, and sure enough Huang Zhiting gave a reason for doing so.

To sum up what she means, there are roughly a few points: First of all, the Kingdom of Cambodia is very weak, so weak that Siam was already beaten by Burma, and it only takes a town of Angkor to deter them. It can be seen that they There are nearly 300 million people in the sky, and there is actually no combat power at all-in other words, there will be little resistance to carve up them.

Secondly, the location of the Kingdom of Cambodia is critical, and it can be directly connected to Annan by land.Huang Zhiting emphasized this point, because Annan is actually the foundation of Jinghua in the Indo-China Peninsula. If we want to build the future "Dingnan core", we cannot connect Dingnan, Jingang and even Shenglong by land. connect them.

Under this requirement, if Cambodia always maintains the state of a kingdom, then there will be an additional shackle on the administration. "Cross-border" is definitely more troublesome than "cross-province", which needs no explanation.

This point made Gao Wushi ponder for a long while before continuing to read.

The third reason proposed by Huang Zhiting is to consider rewarding merit.She believes that with the rapid expansion of Jinghua after the Burma War, the original reward is actually not enough to "reward".

This point of view needs to be subdivided. She believes that there are three main types of people.The first category is the surrender of the local kingdom, such as the previous Abrabang (Xia Muming) and the current Musali.

Xia Muming's luck was very good. Because Jinghua had no plan to really win Myanmar at that time, and the restoration of the Bago Kingdom in southern Myanmar was also a temporary move, so he picked up a king of the Bago Kingdom for no reason and paid him. Of course that's enough.

But Musali's reward is more troublesome, because the credit he has made this time is too great, and it may be second only to Liu Xin, who forced the surrender of Cambodia.If the Kingdom of Cambodia is retained, how should Musali be rewarded?Do you want him to be prime minister?If he becomes prime minister, Jinghua's control over Cambodia will definitely be limited.

But if the Kingdom of Cambodia itself no longer exists, then Musali can only "call" and talk about where he is transferred. In short, there is no Kingdom of Cambodia that can let him stay in office.In this case, even if he was transferred to Annan to become a university scholar (Annan's internal system imitated Daming, and Daming did not ask about it), Musali would not be able to turn the tide, and he couldn't say that Jinghua was not reused - transfer you to my Jinghua Being a patriarch in the place where you started in the southern border is not enough reuse?

Of course, this is a temporary measure, just like Ruan Huang was arranged at the beginning. When he and Ruan Huang showed their loyalty, it is not impossible to really entrust an important task.

The second type of people is the family, including the garrison system and the national policy advisor system. The former is the military and the latter is the "civilian".But no matter which category, at present, it is based on the old-fashioned rewards of Jinghua. In most cases, even if the credit is great, it is nothing more than a reward of some fields or business land, which is a promotion for the individual.

The problem now is that such a reward may gradually become less attractive, and the root of the problem lies in the word "jiading".

What does Jiading mean?Especially for the garrison who has changed his surname to Gao, it means that no matter how many properties under his name, in fact, even he himself is a highly pragmatic "private property", so these industries are still highly pragmatic in the final analysis. Yes, if Gao is pragmatic and willing, it can be withdrawn in just one sentence, and it is reasonable and legal.

In other words, no matter how many rewards Gao pragmatic gave them, they actually only gave them the "right to use", not "ownership" at all - they couldn't give them, because they were even people of high pragmatism.

Huang Zhiting's suggestion is that even if they can't abolish their bond for the time being out of loyalty, they should at least find a way to increase the reward. It is best to bypass the bond issue and give "property rights". If not, then the reward should be increased. Quantity - This quantity has to come out of the Kingdom of Cambodia, because it has been allocated elsewhere, and it is more troublesome to re-distribute it.

The third group of people is the Guangxi Tusi headed by the Cen Huang family.Because Huang Zhiting was married to Gao Pragmatic, according to the custom at this time, she looked at this issue from Gao Pragmatic's standpoint. She believed that the Guangxi chieftain who moved to Annan now has two hidden worries.

One is that the fiefs are too concentrated.You can see this by looking at the map. Since there was only one place in Annan at that time, and Jinghua pulled the entire southern part of Annan into its own bowl, which led to all the chieftains of Guangxi being sealed in the northern part of Annan.Today, Jinghua's ruling area has covered almost the entire Indochina Peninsula. There are many places where the loyal and fighting force of the Tusi Langbing is needed. It is very unreasonable to limit them to such a small area.

At the same time, there is a hidden danger in the concentration of fiefs: if some of them engage in tandem, the threat to Jinghua is also relatively large.Huang Zhiting even hinted at his worried brother Huang Yinglei here.

In fact, she is also thinking about Huang Yinglei - once Gao Wushi accepts this suggestion and separates the fiefs of the Guangxi chieftains who moved with him, he will not be able to connect them together, but in fact, he will be safe.

In addition to the concentration of fiefs, there is also the factor of mixing sand, or the balance of the population.At present, Annan has the highest proportion of "Chinese people", and since the only force that Guangxi chieftains can rely on is the highly pragmatic Jinghua, and their combat effectiveness is the strongest (in terms of civil structure), they are divided into various regions. It can not only increase the proportion of "Han people", but also ensure that they will not be bullied by the local natives, thus creating a good living environment for the newly immigrated Han people.

These views can be said to be well-founded, and they are definitely not made up on a whim. It can be seen that Huang Zhiting has carefully considered it. Otherwise, even if she was her own wife, there would not be so many people willing to sign and second.

Gao Wushi couldn't help but fall into contemplation after reading it.
