Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 320: Sinicization must be promoted, the aftermath of the thin horse case

Zhu Qiyu asked Fan Guang: "I want to punish the ten Wanfang clans, is it okay?"

"Your Majesty has decreed that I will arrest people on your Majesty's behalf!" Fan Guang said loudly.

Dai Shicheng and the other three had earth-colored faces.

"Go kill!"

Zhu Qiyu looked at Geng Xin: "What do you think?"

"Students are just making mistakes and don't dare to comment on the decision-making of the central government." Geng Xin was so frightened that he peed.

"I thought you would intercede for him. It seems that your alliance is not unbreakable." Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

"No alliance, no alliance." Geng Xin shook his head and objected.

"You are also a son-in-law. Shouldn't you advise the king not to kill?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

"The king did the right thing, why should the students persuade him?"

Geng Xin is also interesting.

The four of them, taken together, represent the Jiangnan gentry.

As a result, he turned around and sold Yi Wanfang for a clean profit. The alliance of gentry and gentry was destroyed by itself.

"Sen Siqin, what do you think?"

Zhu Qiyu looked at Sen Siqin, and Geng Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yi Wanfang dared to threaten the emperor, and he punished the ten tribes because of the mercy of the emperor. A student just raised a son and dared not comment on the government's affairs."

Sen Siqin said: "But if the king insults the minister and dies, it is better for Wanfang to humiliate the king. The student is willing to personally carry out the execution and kill the rebellious minister and traitor in order to set the record straight!"

Dai Shicheng and Geng Xin looked at Sen Siqin in surprise.

This person is a hardliner who promotes the unity of the gentry to protect themselves and resist the imperial power.

As a result, he was the first to betray.

"You're from Huizhou, why are you meddling in Nanzhili's affairs? Do you have something in your heart?" Zhu Qiyu sneered.

Sen Siqin kowtowed: "The student was tricked by Yi Wanfang and ended up here."

Snapped!
  The execution eunuch slapped his mouth with a ruler: "Your Majesty does not like to hear lies."

"Students are greedy for money and are unwilling to donate their family's money to the court, so they go against His Majesty." Sen Siqin didn't dare to lie, but he didn't dare to tell the truth. It was difficult to determine the scale.

"He's an honest man."

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Old Master, what do you think?"

Hu Hu did not expect that the fire would burn on his head.

Three eyes filled with hatred focused on him.

The Jiangnan gentry obviously did not dare to resist like this, but Hu Hui emboldened them and gave them advice, and they got to where they are today.

Hu Xi curled his lips. The emperor wanted him to take the blame?

"You should have noticed, right?"

"The old lady cooperated with me to fish you out, but in the end we caught four stupid fish."

"Isn't it silly fish?"

"I and the old lady are singing a double act, can't you tell?"

"Don't use your stupid brains. The old master is my humerus. Will he betray me?"

"Have you grown a brain?" Zhu Qiyu began to protect Hu Ming.

Hu Xi's pupils shrank!

The emperor is letting him take the blame!
  Distort the facts into: Hu Hui acted with the emperor and fished out the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River. Then Hu Hui became the enemy of the gentry and could only cling to the emperor's lap to survive.

One day the emperor no longer needs him and kicks him away. No one in Shilin will cry out for him.

The emperor wants to destroy his reputation with his own hands!
  What is the most valuable thing about a civil servant? Prestige!

Without reputation, he can only become the emperor's lackey.

Hu Xi didn't have a choice yet.

When the emperor set the bait, he took the initiative to bite the hook, which determined today's fate.

The emperor's plan is far enough.

"Your Majesty, I think I should kill them all!" Hu Hui immediately adapted to his new identity and cooperated with the emperor in acting.

What does the emperor want?
  The emperor didn't care about the gentry in the land of Ming Dynasty, he could kill them if he wanted.

But the Japanese pirates roaming the sea are a serious concern.

When the emperor sang such a drama, didn't he just want to deal with the Japanese pirates once and for all?
  Dai Shicheng and the other three were in great distress.

But just as they were about to speak, the execution eunuch struck the ruler three times. The three of them did not dare to speak, but the anger in their eyes was of course directed at Hu Hui.

Hu Hui did not keep his word, tricked them into a trap, and fished for them.

"However, Your Majesty can take three people hostage and threaten them to hand over the Japanese pirate forces at sea, otherwise all ten clans will be killed!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to hand over my caravan to Your Majesty!" Dai Shicheng kowtowed vigorously.

Hu Hu, Hu Hu, I have long noticed that you have different intentions.

So I set a bait for you. The target of the original demon book case was you.

Do you think the target is Yu Qian? But I don’t know that you are also a roadblock for me. From the time you came to Nanzhili and did nothing, I thought you were in the way.

I didn't take the opportunity to get rid of you because my safety was not guaranteed.

Then you take the blame.

When I successfully close the net, I will give you a step down to a perfect career, and when you die, I will give you a grand master, and this life will be worth it.

"Students are willing too!"

Sen Siqin and Geng Xin cried and kowtowed.

Zhu Qiyu was silent. The three of them were sweating like rain, but they did not dare to speak. The ruler was dangling in front of their eyes, and anyone who dared to speak would be beaten.

"How many overseas influences are there in Yi Wanfang's family?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Your Majesty, IKEA's overseas fleet has [-] small ships and more than [-] troops!" Sen Siqin rushed to say.

"No wonder you want to harm me. It turns out there are soldiers at sea!"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Where is your home?"

"The student's family has 270 large ships, 700 medium-sized ships, 5769 small ships, and [-] troops. They are willing to dedicate them to His Majesty!"

Does Sen Siqin dare to hide it?

In the past, he was hidden among the people and the emperor could not find him.

Now in the Wenhua Palace, facing the execution of ten tribes, with no life left, what do you want the forces on the sea to do?
  "Are the Japanese pirates at sea all your people?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Yes!"

Sen Siqin didn't dare not say it.

"Can you get them all to surrender?"

Sen Siqin stopped talking.

Snapped!
  The execution eunuch slapped his mouth with a ruler: "Your Majesty asked me, do you dare not to reply?"

"Return to the Holy Spirit!"

"After all, the caravan is alone overseas and is run by family members."

"The situation is not good now. Even if the students are the head of the family and I send an order to recruit them back, they may not be obedient."

Sen Siqin told the truth.

He is afraid of death, and people at sea are also afraid of death.

In fact, as long as Zhu Qiyu's navy goes to sea and cuts off the main food supply routes at sea, the Japanese pirates will be defeated without attack.

But it will take several years to completely eradicate the Japanese pirates.

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to wait, he wanted to solve the problem in the south quickly. There were other things later, and the Japanese pirates were just one of them.

"It's true."

The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips raised: "I want to open the sea, you should know that, right?"

"Since the sea is open, Ming people are allowed to go to the sea to make a living and do business."

"I can send you to persuade them to surrender."

"After the surrender, a group of able-bodied sailors will be selected, and the rest will be pardoned and allowed to do business normally. As long as they pay customs duties, they can obtain a maritime business license. If they are unwilling to return to the mainland, they can be resettled in Baozhou Prefecture, which is Xiaoliuqiu. .”

"What do you think of this condition?"

Sen Siqin and the other three were all stunned. We thought you were going to kill them all!

No fool would refuse to agree to such a generous offer!
  "Your Majesty, student, please tell me, how much is the tariff?" Dai Shicheng asked.

"The tariffs haven't been decided yet, so it's almost three out of ten."

Dai Shicheng's pupils shrank, 30% tariff, is this too high?
  "The navy of the Ming Dynasty will clear all sea areas and protect the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty. This is one of them."

"Secondly, if maritime merchants are bullied in other countries, they can seek protection from the Ming army at any time. Within the country, they are superior to the locals."

"In a word, after paying the tariff, you are legal merchants. The place where the dragon flag is fluttering is a place for you to do business! Whoever dares to bully you will be deemed to have declared war with the Ming Dynasty. I can send troops to invade the country and massacre its people! "

Hu Hui wanted to persuade him that there was no need to give such a big discount to maritime merchants.

But when I thought about it, the emperor made it clear that he was using them and throwing them away after using them. These traitors would all die sooner or later.

"You must have all been to Annan and Siam to do business, right? You went there with my army. You should know my attitude towards merchants."

"The Japanese pirates who are alone overseas, I will give them a chance. If they don't want to go back to the mainland, they can go to Baozhou Prefecture. This is the only chance!"

"Anyone who doesn't listen will be slaughtered!"

Dai Shicheng's eyes flashed: "Students are willing to be envoys to recruit and surrender [-] Japanese pirates at sea for His Majesty!"

Sen Siqin and Geng Xin were anxious and both were willing to serve the emperor.

This is the only way to get out of the palace alive.

The emperor wanted Japanese pirates and used political means to clean up the southeastern coast.

The corner of Zhu Qiyu's lips curled up: "Fan Guang, control these four families and ten clans, and control all those who have in-laws."

"Whoever dares to lie to me will be killed immediately by all four families!"

"Dai Shicheng, you are old and may not be able to have a son anymore."

"You are on a mission."

"Tell them my conditions and recruit them to surrender. If any of them are unwilling to surrender, attack them in groups. I want their heads!"

"Can it be done?"

Zhu Qiyu looked at Dai Shicheng.

Dai Shicheng never expected that the emperor chose him because he was too old to give birth to a son.

But it seems to be really effective. He can no longer have a son. The son is the root of the family and cannot be given up.

"Your Majesty, how will those sailors be accommodated?" Dai Shicheng asked bravely.

"Select the best and brightest to join the army, and the treatment will be the same as that of the Navy. In the Navy, strength is given priority, regardless of origin, only strength is considered."

"It's the same here. I don't look at his moral character or his origin, but only his ability."

"If you want to be a general in the navy, you can do it. If you show your true skills, he will be a general. I employ people in any way."

"Those who can be used by me are obedient people."

"Those who cannot be used by me will be slaughtered!"

Zhu Qiyu asked: "Understand?"

"Students understand."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Xi: "Old Master, please draw up a charter and ask him to take him as an envoy. Before the [-]th year of Jingtai, I want to see all the Japanese pirates surrender."

"If not! You ten tribes, don't live anymore!"

"get out!"

Sen Siqin and Geng Xin cried and kowtowed: "Students, please leave."

Fan Guang was still confused. The emperor had just said that he would kill the ten Yiwanfang clans, but he stopped killing them. Should he kill them or not?
  "Feng Xiao, pass the order to Liang Yun and Xiang Zhong, lead the navy, and take Dai Shicheng to recruit and surrender. Kill all those who do not cherish the opportunity and avoid future troubles forever!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Fan Guang was still stunned: "Your Majesty, I don't have enough brains."

"What don't you understand?" Zhu Qiyu stood up and moved around.

"Your Majesty, do you want to kill someone, or not?" This is what Fan Guang is most confused about.

Zhu Qiyu asked people to close the palace door and send the palace attendants out.

"I want to kill him, but I can't."

Fan Guang knelt on the ground and said: "The troops in my hands are all loyal to Your Majesty, and I can kill anyone for Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "It's not a problem of infiltration in the military, but if we kill him, it may not be solved in three to five years."

"After all, Ming Dynasty is not familiar with the sea. If these Japanese pirates spread out to attack merchant ships, we will suffer too much loss."

"It is only right to recruit and surrender as soon as possible while the central government still has credibility."

Fan Guang was about to speak but stopped.

Zhu Qiyu asked him to speak.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates were lawless and killed hundreds of thousands of our Han people, but in the end they only surrendered. They were still enjoying good fortune and entertainment in the army. Where are the innocent people who died tragically? Where is the justice of heaven?"

Fan Guang felt it was too hateful.

"How many Han people did the Mongols kill?"

"Didn't he get surrendered in the end?"

"Are they really going to kill them all?"

Zhu Qiyu asked him: "I think the question is, does Ming Dynasty have this ability?"

"Of course!" Fan Guang blurted out.

"You idiot, you have a fart!"

Zhu Qiyu said: "Let's talk about those Mongols, who doesn't have the blood of Han people on their hands? If they are really killed, Mobei will not stop for a hundred years."

"It is because of my benevolent behavior that Meng people are willing to serve me."

"Japanese pirates too."

"There are more than [-] Japanese pirates floating on the sea. This is how many we have left after we captured about [-] prisoners."

"Do you know how long it will take to finish the campaign if we continue to suppress it?"

It will never be finished!

Yes, it is forever, because the Japanese pirates can also expand their strength from other countries, and the Ming Dynasty does not have the energy to waste it at sea.

Fan Guang was unconvinced: "Then you won't avenge yourself?"

"Of course I have to repay it!"

"How else could I say you were stupid!"

"Go to Rehe and Ningxia and see how many Mongolians there were in the eighth year of Jingtai? How many Mongolians are left now?"

"If you want to take revenge, you can."

"Go into the battlefield and consume it, justly and above all."

"Rather than use the lives of the Ming army to fight with them."

"Let them die for the benefit of Ming Dynasty, so that their death will be worthwhile!"

Zhu Qiyu said: "I have never forgotten the enmity between the Mongols and the Han people for a moment."

"Don't I feel heartbroken when Japanese pirates massacre my people in Ming Dynasty?"

"I am a majestic emperor, but I have to bow to the gentry, am I willing?"

"Fan Guang, I also want to go wild and open things up! Kill them all, massacre them all! How refreshing is that?"

"The problem is, they are not pigs. They stand there and let us kill them! They can run away!"

"Let's talk about the Mongolian people. If I used the method of massacre to kill the Mongolian people, do you think there will be a day for peace in Mobei?"

No, it took the emperor's killing and caressing to silence Mobei for several years before a large Mongolian tribe was willing to join the Ming Dynasty.

"We must first appease them, give them benefits, and make them willing to surrender."

"Then think of a way to throw them into the battlefield and consume them, so that no one can find fault."

"How many people did the Guangxi Army have in the ninth year of Jingtai? How many are left now?"

"Use your brain!"

Zhu Qiyu really regarded Fan Guang as his confidant.

He silently added another sentence in his heart, shouldn't I consider my own safety? Killing the four of them was a moment of relief, but I was gone at night?
  Didn't you see that he pushed Hu Hui out to take the blame? If you want to kill him, go ahead and kill Hu Hui.

Two days later, when the Buddhist soldiers entered the capital, there would be fresh blood, and the situation would be under his control again. Is it too late to kill them by then?
  "I misunderstood Your Majesty, I did it!" Fan Guang knelt on the ground.

Yes, the Guangxi Army had more than 130 million men at its peak. When the Guangxi Army was used to fight Jiaozhi, pacify the two lakes, and fight the gentry, the number dropped sharply by more than 70!

The imperial court only spent some settlement money to resolve ethnic conflicts.

But their children turned to the Ming Dynasty and became true Ming people.

Zhu Qiyu pulled him up: "You are right, you are a soldier and you should be pure."

"Now, Wang Lai controls Jilin, Wang Yue controls North Korea, Gong Yongji is trading with the Japanese, Zhu Ying controls Jiaozhi, and Kou Shen controls Hami. These are all foreign lands."

"Next year, wait until I return to Beijing."

"You will take charge of the Western Expedition and annex the Eastern Chagatai Khanate."

"In this battle, I hope you will defeat all the tribes and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate will also fall into my hands."

"Understand?"

Zhu Qiyu's heart was extremely dark.

"Your Majesty, it's not easy to consume your own troops." Fan Guang had never done this before.

"Idiot, learn from Fang Ying and see how Fang Ying defeated the Guangxi army."

Fang Ying's method is really wonderful.

Hundreds of thousands of Guangxi natives cannot be consumed at all.

Then, let them go and massacre, and the Guangxi Army will become rich, and then take the opportunity to disband and become Cochin people.

The Guangxi Army had a blood feud with the Annan people. The Guangxi Army was taught Chinese culture for another three years and had already identified with the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty allowed them to live a good life and improved their status, making them first-class people in Jiaozhi.

The surviving Annan people were demoted as slaves. After a few years, the Annan people were released as civilians and allowed to fight against the Guangxi army.

Jiaozhi will never be able to break away from the Ming Dynasty. Even if there is a long rainy season, it will not be separated from the center because of internal fighting.

The most frightening thing is that these Guangxi soldiers all left behind children.

These children were bathed in the favor of the Ming emperor, and they identified themselves with the Ming people very much in their hearts, because their fathers and brothers died fighting for the Ming Dynasty, and they grew up on pensions, so they regarded themselves as Ming people in their hearts.

The children of the Guangxi Army were even more die-hard loyalists to the emperor.

This is fusion, not consumption. If someone consumes his own army, he will definitely be discovered. That is the most stupid thing.

Fan Guang understood a little bit.

"If you defeat the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, I will make you a prince and give you a life certificate." Zhu Qiyu was drawing cakes for Fan Guang.

No matter how loyal his subordinates are, they have to keep drawing cakes.

Otherwise, we will become alienated from morality.

As soon as Fan Guang heard about the Duke, he immediately became high-spirited.

"Your Majesty, what about your current safety..." Fan Guang immediately worried about the emperor. If the emperor died, everything promised would be in vain.

"So I didn't kill anyone."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "We are negotiating. As long as the Japanese pirates are willing to surrender, I will be a holy king. Why do they want to harm me?"

This is the cunningness of the emperor.

Two full days.

The emperor was only in the Qianqing Palace, and the number of people tasting the dishes changed from fifteen to thirty.

In the past two days, the emperor did not see anyone and huddled in the main hall.

Even the concubines in the harem could not see the emperor.

It was not until the eminent monk Sangpu Yuanjie of Drepung Monastery made a pilgrimage to the emperor that the emperor finally showed up and invited the great lama Sangpu to enter and stay in the palace.

Samp's master was Jiangyang Quejie. Jiangyang Quejie learned from Tsongkhapa and built the Drepung Monastery, which is the largest temple in Uspen with tens of thousands of monks.

When he came to Nanjing to pay homage to the emperor, he brought 1500 Buddhist soldiers with him, and the Sichuan Appeasement Department sent another 1500 guardsmen to protect him.

The great lama explained Buddhism to Zhu Qiyu, and Zhu Qiyu listened carefully.

"Lama (Master), I feel that the Yellow Sect is not flourishing in the Central Plains."

"The main reason is that the people in the Central Plains don't know the script, so it's better for the lamas to write Buddhist scriptures in Chinese."

"It can be widely spread."

Zhu Qiyu wanted Wushen to abandon Zhenwen and use Chinese.

The problem is that this place cannot be attacked yet. There is no oil and water, and it is easy to cause trouble. The lama in the key area respects the emperor, so there is no need to attack by force.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to stay in Nanjing, compile Chinese Buddhist scriptures, and spread our teachings."

Zhu Qiyu immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to select a site and build a lamasery for Lama Sangpu to translate Buddhist scriptures.

Samp was very happy and thanked the emperor.

"Lama."

"I am promoting the Chineseization of all the territory of Ming Dynasty."

"This facilitates cultural dissemination and mutual communication."

"Why isolate one place and make it a world of its own?"

Although Sangpu is a Buddhist monk, he is also a political figure.

Wushen is no longer the Tubo of the Tang Dynasty. Even if there are monk soldiers, who can be defeated by tens of thousands of people? A county in the Ming Dynasty has a population larger than that of Wushen!

What's more, there is Duosi next to Wushen.

Wushen could only recognize the Ming Dynasty as the master and fall under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Buddhist scriptures are all written in Chinese. If translated into Chinese, the words will inevitably fail to convey the meaning. I sincerely ask your Majesty's permission to continue using Buddhist scriptures in Chinese."

Samp played a trick. He didn't talk about Wushuang, only Buddhist scriptures.

However, Wushuang all believe in Buddhism, and if the Buddhist scriptures are not changed, the sinicization will not be carried out.

"Lama, don't underestimate Chinese."

"Chinese Buddhism was also translated from Sanskrit. It has been passed down for thousands of years and is still full of vitality."

"Furthermore, how old is Wushen? What is its population? Even if they all believe in the Yellow Sect, how can they compare with China?"

When Zhu Qiyu said this, he smiled: "When the Ming Dynasty took back Jiaozhi, wouldn't the lama not want to go to Jiaozhi to preach?"

"Now all those in Jiaozhi believe in Chinese Buddhism and don't know about the Yellow Sect."

"Unlike me, I have been initiated by a great lama, so naturally I believe in the Yellow Sect."

"Speaking of which, your master and I are contemporaries, and the Great Lama Tsongkhapa is also my teacher."

This Tsongkhapa is a super boss and the founder of the Yellow Sect. (Just use this title for writing, as long as everyone understands)
  Zhu Qiyu is pulling other people's tiger skin.

"Compared with Chinese Buddhism, I believe in Yellow Buddhism more. You are my nephew. Of course I will think of you when good things happen."

Samp's eyelids twitched, am I your nephew? Can you please be polite?

"Lama, look at how many lamaseries there are on the grassland now?"

"You must be well aware of how much it was just four years ago."

"This is all the result of my Chineseization."

"To the west of Jiaozhi is a vast land, which is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, it will be merged into the Ming Dynasty like Wushen."

"Everyone will be Chineseized and speak Chinese in Chinese."

"Does the lama just want to be the king and hegemon in Ussun?"

"How can the Yellow religion be spread? I'm worried about you." Zhu Qiyu tempted them to sinicize and then come out to preach.

"His Majesty……"

"Call me Master Uncle, no need to see anyone outside." Zhu Qiyu took advantage of other eminent monks.

An eminent monk like Samp must be dedicated to preaching.

"Uncle Master, since you are from the Yellow Sect, can't you allow the Yellow Sect to preach in Jiaozhi?"

"Look at what you said, it's not that I don't allow it, it's that you don't understand the language! Nephew!"

Zhu Qiyu explained to him: "Everyone in the world speaks Chinese, but we, the Yellow Sect, practice Zhenwen. How do you think we can do it? Is it possible for believers to learn Zhenwen now?"

"It's clear that they are talking like a chicken and a duck. They can't understand each other and the words don't convey what they mean."

"Buddhism in China is all in Chinese, and Sanskrit can no longer be found."

"We, the Yellow Sect, cannot lag too far behind the Buddhism of China!"

"There is also a Taoist religion in the middle. You should know how powerful Taoism is, right?"

"Even if I denounce Taoism, Taoism is still very popular among the people."

"There is also the Islamic religion. You know that the leader of the Islamic religion is in the Zonglu Division in Beijing, serving me every day. I look forward to my permission to preach in the country."

"But I'm not an Islamic believer. If I want to do something good, of course I have to think about our own people first."

"Nephew, what do you think?"

Zhu Qiyu took great pains to induce Wushen to become Chinese.

The Islamic religion is still a niche sect for the time being. Compared with Taoism, Buddhism, and the Yellow Sect, it is still far behind, but it cannot be underestimated in the future.

Samp was thinking that he had a respected position in Wusheng and had very high political rights.

"Uncle, please allow my nephew to think about it for a while and then send it back to Wushen. I ask all the eminent monks to study it and give a satisfactory explanation to my uncle."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "That's right. How can uncle master harm you?"

The Sinicization of Wushen allowed the Yellow Sect to be completely Sinicized.

Then he completely Sinicized the Islamic religion, and finally Sinicized the Nestorian religion. The power to compile the scriptures of each religion rested with the Zonglu Division, which was equivalent to controlling the world's sects.

After discussing Buddhism for a while, Zhu Qiyu asked the lama to rest.

Feng Xiao hurried in with a happy face: "Your Majesty, the Korean army has arrived."

Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

This time the situation was back under his control.

After the rainy season in Cochin passed, the first memorial was sent to Nanjing. It was delivered to the emperor as he opened the palace gate.

What Lu Hong sent over was Zhu Ying's personal letter.

"Indian medical book?"

Zhu Qiyu's face showed joy: "Chen Jiayou, Zhou Zhengfang and others have made great contributions!"

"Send it to the imperial hospital, let the imperial doctor study it, make a copy first, and send it to Concubine Tan."

"It turns out that India is like this. There are many divided countries, not a unified country."

In fact, India has never been unified!
  It was Daiying who helped them unify.

Even the name of the country was given to them by Dai Ying.

Zhu Qiyu didn't know. He thought that the subcontinent was a unified country. After all, Ming Dynasty didn't know much about Wushen.

After Wushen was converted into Chinese, the Ming Dynasty had to send officials to manage it.

This is justifiable.

The second letter is from Wang Wei.

"This is Singapore?"

Zhu Qiyu was shocked that the Malacca Dynasty gave such an important strategic island to the Ming Dynasty.

"Feng Xiao, passed on the decree. The King of Mancijia was very respectful and gave him the surname Zheng. He chose a Han girl to marry him as his princess. He also gave him a hundred ships of goods, two thousand muskets, ten heavy cannons, and a hundred thousand I will give you ten more ships of paper, ten more ships of porcelain, and ten more ships of silk."

"Allow merchants from his country to come to the Ming Dynasty to trade, and then let the cabinet select a good minister to lead a team to Manchuria and promote Chineseization."

This series of rewards confused Feng Xiao: "Your Majesty, so many rewards?"

"Do you know Malacca?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

"Of course I know that the Three Treasures Eunuch made seven voyages to the West and stopped in Malacca four times. Malacca is the most important place, as you always say, Your Majesty."

"King Mancijia donated an island to the Ming Dynasty. This island can pass through Malacca and is a choke point." Zhu Qiyu said.

hiss!
  Feng Xiao took a breath, Man Cijia really spent a lot of money.

In fact, it’s normal to think about it. Nowadays, East-West trade is not very prosperous. Malacca is indeed an important route, but what’s the use if we don’t use ships?

Moreover, King Mansika didn't know the wonders of Singapore at all. This place was discovered by Dai Ying, and no one had paid attention to this island before.

"Another imperial edict is issued, instructing the King of Siam not to allow attacks on Mansajia. Anyone who disobeys the order will have his king captured and brought to the capital!"

Man Cijia wanted to mediate the war, so Zhu Qiyu reciprocated.

He must think carefully about how to build Singapore.

"This place was originally called Temasek, but the name was not nice, so it was renamed Singapore."

Zhu Qiyu considered it and said: "First move some people up, build a fortress, pass the order to the Ministry of Industry, and ask the Ministry of Industry to send people to see how to build a maritime fortress to serve as a supply place for the army and a transit point for merchant ships."

"This place is a throat, so it must be managed well."

As for other leased areas, Zhu Qiyu didn't care much. Sooner or later, they all belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu was a little excited to get Singapore.

With Singapore as the base, it can radiate to the entire Southeast Asia and even the South Asian subcontinent.

The Ming Dynasty changed from a land power to a sea power hegemon.

Open the third memorial, written by Zhu Ying.

It was tens of thousands of words long, and Zhu Qiyu read it for half an hour before finishing it.

Zhu Ying talked in detail about Jiaozhi's policies, implementation, resettlement and other minor issues. All details were reported.

Even if he didn't say it, Jiaozhi's censor and supervisory officials would.

Next, is the view of India.

Zhu Ying believes that when all written records in India are collected, translated, and destroyed, India will lose its civilization.

Stealing civilization, the West is the most slippery.

How much of China’s civilization has been stolen?
  He even wrote recommending that all Sanskrit scriptures of Buddhism be destroyed.

"Feng Xiao, what do you think of this plan?" Zhu Qiyu showed him the second half.

Feng Xiao's expression changed: "Your Majesty, the scriptures were blessed by the Buddha. If they are destroyed, it will be a huge blow to your reputation."

Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "Are you stupid? Does destroying mean burning?"

"Burn the Sanskrit and let the world curse me to death?"

"I also believe in Buddhism!"

"You don't want to build a pagoda and enshrine Sanskrit in the pagoda? Just don't allow people to see it, and just enshrine it as an ancient holy object. Wouldn't that be fine?"

"After a few hundred years, when India has degenerated into savages, we will take it out and read it and say it is the writing of the Chinese ancestors, but they will not know it!"

Can you do this?

Feng Xiao found that this method was good.

"Moreover, the whole of Central and South China believes in Buddhism."

"I will use these sacred objects to build a temple in the Central Plains."

"Let those devout believers come to the Central Plains to worship."

"Then these lands will never be separated from the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood: "The place where Buddhism originated doesn't believe in Buddhism anymore. It's really stupid."

"The Ming Dynasty is the center of Buddhism. All believers in the world should come to the Ming Dynasty for pilgrimage!"

"Isn't Concubine Tan going to donate a temple?"

"I invested money to build a temple in the north, went to India to ask for Sanskrit scriptures to be the treasure of the temple, and moved everything about Buddhism to the Ming Dynasty."

When he heard that the emperor wanted to build a temple, Feng Xiao's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, will it be built in the capital?"

"There are too many temples in the capital, so build them nearby."

In fact, the center of the Lama Temple is in Nanjing.

Starting from Emperor Taizu, more lamaseries were built in Nanjing. Later emperors also built temples in Nanjing to allow Lama Wushuang to come to Nanjing.

But Zhu Qiyu not only built temples, but also allowed them to preach.

As long as they are Chinese-speaking, we can negotiate any conditions.

Zhu Qiyu pondered: "In the future, the translation of scriptures, regardless of each religion, and the printed scriptures must be accompanied by a map of the Ming Dynasty, with the words: Not an inch of the land of China is indispensable."

"Let the palace draw a map, and then bring it to me to see."

"Every inch of territory will be drawn for me."

Feng Xiao didn't understand, what's the use of drawing this?
  It's called national pride.

As long as the territory is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no matter what people believe, they will know that they are Chinese and will not forget their roots, and the territory will not be lost.

Key beliefs are very scary things and must not sow any seeds of division.

People of all religions must first regard Ming Dynasty as their home, and then their faith. In this way, the meat will always rot in the pot, and no matter who becomes the emperor, the territory will not be lost.

"Send to the cabinet."

Zhu Qiyu read all three memorials, had someone copy them, and then sent them to the cabinet.

the next morning.

Ye Sheng was ordered to enter the palace.

Zhu Qiyu showed him the memorial written by Chen Wuyang.

"Do you know that this is Xiong Zan, the magistrate of Jiangdu?" Zhu Qiyu didn't have much impression of this person.

"Wei Chen knows that I am in charge of the capital inspection, and his rating is pretty good."

Ye Shengdao: "But he doesn't know how to deal with interpersonal relationships, which leads to a very bad reputation locally."

"After getting to know him in many ways, I found that this person is indeed a tough guy, but he doesn't know how to be an official. He can't manage politics and people, and he can't be a good father-in-law official."

That's right.

If you want to be an official, other abilities are secondary. The first priority is the ability to get along with colleagues. After all, many jobs require the coordination and joint work of multiple departments, and no one can make the final decision.

Emotional intelligence is very important.

And those with low emotional intelligence are either super capable, otherwise they can't get ahead.

I don't know what Xiong Zan's abilities are, but his temper is too bad, which makes him unacceptable in official circles, so he fails to achieve his goals.

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's right, the Ming Dynasty is full of sophistication. If you don't know how to deal with it, you won't be a good official."

"Go to Jiaozhi and become the prefect of Jiaozhi."

"There is still a blank sheet of paper there. There is no human sophistication. Look at his abilities and promote him if he has the ability. If he is someone who has high ambitions but low power, forget it."

Ye Sheng was slightly startled, this person had caught the emperor's eye.

"I have no objection."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "What do you think of Lu Rensheng's confession?"

The issue of the nursing home is really a bit tricky.

"Your Majesty, I believe that what Lu Rensheng said is the truth."

"The preference for sons over daughters is very strong among the people. If the common people are cunning, they will send a baby girl to Beijing for you to raise."

"You can take care of me for a year or two, but you can take care of me for fifty or a hundred years. No matter how much money you have, they will be squeezed out by these people."

"Your Majesty, I just thought this case was settled."

Ye Sheng told the truth.

The emperor can afford to raise three hundred thousand children, but what about three million? There are three million mouths waiting for the emperor to feed them every year, so the country might as well be used as an orphanage.

The problem is that with so many children, abuse and other incidents will inevitably occur, and the emperor's reputation is extremely easy to be damaged.

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Ye Qing is telling the truth."

"Although I have money in my internal funds, I can squander it."

"But one day, when the internal funds are gone, the feud between rice and rice will rise. When I can afford it, they will call me daddy. When they can't afford it, they will revolt."

"In the end, I am not a human being inside and out."

This is the human heart.

"I made the decision as soon as my mind was hot."

"Now I know why no one has cared about it in the past dynasties. The main reason is that they dare not take care of it."

"But since I don't care."

"Just deal with it till the end."

Zhu Qiyu's inexplicable turn.

Ye Sheng was about to persuade, but the emperor waved his hand: "Listen to me."

"Ye Sheng, do you know why I have to raise orphans in the world?"

Zhu Qiyu stepped down from the throne and stood next to Ye Sheng: "Because I want to promote education and let the world's talented people become teachers, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so."

"I just want to train these orphans into grassroots talents such as doctors, teachers, and planners."

"When they grow up, put them at the grassroots level."

"Serve me."

Having said this, Zhu Qiyu's lips curved up: "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Imperial power does not go to the countryside."

"I must let the imperial power go to the countryside, and these children are my minions, opening a channel for me to go to the countryside, so that I can completely control this world."

Ye Sheng smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, as long as you relax the restrictions on officials, the imperial power will naturally go to the countryside."

"Besides, if the imperial power is sent to the countryside, it will need to bear excessive administrative costs."

"The Ministry of Household Affairs can support it for ten years, but can it support it for a hundred years? What about one hundred, two hundred, or three hundred years?"

"After all, it's unaffordable."

Zhu Qiyu patted him: "I understand, but orphans must be taken care of."

"Just set some limits."

"If there are parents who intentionally abandon their babies, the men and women will be exiled separately, with the men going to Ningxia and the women going to Jiaozhi."

"how do you feel?"

Ye Sheng smiled bitterly. Sometimes the emperor was full of wisdom and tricks, but sometimes he was completely unlucky. He still understood the key, but he was always overflowing with sympathy.

He was clearly an extremely ruthless emperor, but he was inexplicably full of compassion.

It’s really difficult for hundreds of officials to do this.

"Your Majesty..." Ye Sheng disagreed.

This restriction is useless. As long as people can find loopholes, they will not take the right path. They don't care even if they face the risk of beheading, let alone immigrants?

"Ye Qing, how about you listen to me once and try it out for ten years?" Zhu Qiyu discussed with him.

"Just ten years. If the cost is too high after ten years, please ask Your Majesty not to raise orphans anymore." Ye Sheng smiled bitterly.

Zhu Qiyu nodded heavily.

"Your Majesty, I still have to give you some advice."

Ye Sheng was a little dissatisfied: "You love the people like your own children, but you should also know how to act within your capabilities."

"How much has the country done this year? More things have been done in one year than in the past [-] years."

"It takes some time for people's ideas to change."

"You keep coming up with new things. The whole court is busy and everyone is dissatisfied. This will turn people's hearts against you."

"No one understands your painstaking efforts, Your Majesty."

I still advise him to be slow, to be slow, and not to rush or do things too fast.

"I listened."

"After doing this, I won't do anything else for the time being."

"Ye Qing, come and supervise me."

"I will definitely not have any sudden ideas."

"how?"

Zhu Qiyu still had to discuss with Ye Sheng.

"I hope you will do what you say. I know that you are doing the good of the Ming Dynasty and the good of the world, but you must give the people of the world some time to breathe."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "Let's get back to business then?"

"It's still about immigration."

"Dai Shicheng has been at sea for a few days, and there is still no news. I feel unsure."

"The rainy season in Cochin has passed. I will speed up immigration and try to move everyone to Cochin before the next rainy season."

"At least 1500 million more people will be moved."

"So many?" Ye Sheng was surprised.

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "The small Jiangnan accommodates more than 2500 million people. I won't feel at ease if they don't leave."

Ye Sheng nodded: "It would be really unsafe if there are so many people in Jiangnan."

"Can Cochin accommodate so many people?"

"No."

Zhu Qiyu said: "But when it comes to immigrants to Cochin, if Cochin can accommodate three to five million people, it will be at its peak."

"You can move it to Laos, Cambodia, Siam, Upper Myanmar, and Lower Myanmar."

"They are all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. If the citizens of the upper state come, can they be driven out?"

"Jiaozhi's army is not a vegetarian."

Ye Sheng rolled his eyes, the emperor used immigrants to carry out soft colonization.

Take the land first and then conquer it slowly.

"If the Japanese pirates are recruited and surrendered, these Japanese pirates will definitely not be willing to return to the Ming Dynasty. I have thought about it and put them in Baozhou Mansion."

"Move another group of people to Baozhou Mansion."

"There are also Luzon, Mancajia, and Boni. Some of them can be removed."

"But it is a vassal country after all. We are still quite far away from them. We can't move too much. Just pick some disobedient thorns and move them over. We will stand in front of them."

"Bring the map."

Zhu Qiyu pointed at Singapore: "This place is a chokepoint. I want to move more people here."

Ye Sheng looked at it for a long time: "Your Majesty, this seems to be an island, right? How many aborigines are there?"

"Wang Wei said it was a thousand people."

"Then it can only accommodate a few thousand people at most, right?"

Ye Sheng moved his eyes upward and looked at the strip connecting the mainland: "It would be feasible to fill some of these places."

"You are greedy. This is the land of Mancijia. Mancijia is very respectful to me. There is no need to try to influence him for the time being."

Ye Sheng looked at the emperor, why did he change his gender?
  Is North Korea disobedient?

Aren't you still eating me?

"Nonsense, the Ming Dynasty Navy can't do it. We rely on immigration to encroach on the land bit by bit. Of course we have to move people there and then slowly occupy it."

Zhu Qiyu can't even pretend to be a good person.

Ye Sheng couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty, since it is beyond the reach of the whip, it is better to hold on and occupy Central and South China first. Laos and Cambodia are both poor places. Just annex these two countries first, and then annex Siam."

"There are so many people, move them over in one go."

"I'm afraid we need an army of more than [-] people. We must dare to fight and kill in order to swallow up a large area of ​​territory."

Ye Sheng felt that it was still too impatient. Jiaozhi had not been completely digested and had to fight again.

The Guangxi army can no longer fight and must mobilize troops from home.

The southern army's combat effectiveness was weak.

Although the Northern Army is strong, it cannot adapt to the climate.

Zhu Qiyu was smiling.

"Your Majesty has a complete plan?" Ye Sheng was surprised.

"It depends on whether Dai Shicheng can recruit the Japanese pirates for me."

Ye Sheng was stunned. Could it be that the emperor wanted to use Japanese pirates to fight against the three kingdoms of Laos, Cambodia and Siam?
  Zhu Qiyu pointed at Guizhou: "How effective are the natives of Guizhou in combat?"

"Very strong."

Ye Sheng understood that he was using Guizhou natives to bring peace to the Three Kingdoms.

"Can there be [-] natives in Guizhou?" Ye Sheng wondered.

"Definitely not. Yue Zheng and Xiang Wenyao have just cleared the territory of Yuan Sizhou and are sharpening their swords against Bozhou."

"The rich man is in Shizhou, and Han Yong is clearing Western Hunan."

"When we conquer Bozhou, we should be able to form a native army of [-] troops, right?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "We will draw troops from Mobei and draw out [-] people to form cavalry."

"Japanese pirates, Japanese pirates."

"The Japanese country is in civil strife, and the people are in dire straits. What if I buy some young men and form a Japanese army of [-] people?"

"Don't forget, there is also North Korea. Wang Yue has been in power for almost two years. He has recruited a group of [-] North Korean troops and put them on the battlefield."

"Recruit warriors from Jiangsu and Zhejiang and form a team of [-] people."

"Almost half a million people, right?"

"It's just me spending more money."

"After this battle, all the money I brought from Jiangnan will be spent."

"But how much gold and silver can I get from the Three Kingdoms?"

"And the land of the Three Kingdoms is enough to support my [-] million citizens. What a bargain."

Therefore, the top priority is to recruit and surrender Japanese pirates.

This is also the reason why the emperor is anxious.

When the Japanese pirates return and surrender, the sea will be cleared. Once the sea is cleared, we can take the sea route instead of the inland river.

The Ming Dynasty was able to continuously transport ordnance from the sea.

As long as the logistics are complete, which country can stop the Ming Dynasty?

Especially once the navy is built, it will be able to attack important cities at sea, attack from both ends, and soon destroy the country.

Then enslave its people and make them repair roads, transport logistics, etc.

The internal funds were so rich that they were almost rotten. Zhu Qiyu could fight a very rich war without using bank money at all.

"But Your Majesty, you will attack the Eastern Chagatai Khanate next year."

Ye Sheng said: "No matter how strong our Ming Dynasty is, we can't start a war on two fronts, right?"

"No, it's a war on three fronts. The cabinet has already decided to attack Uliangha next year!"

"We must destroy Wu Liangha in one battle."

"We will start a war on three fronts next year and use more than one million soldiers?"

"Your Majesty! Let's stop in Cochin!"
