Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 253 Slavery

"This... is a bit far away?" Chen Xun looked at Zhu Zhanhe suspiciously.

He felt that Zhu Zhanhe was a little drifting.

Right now, Zhu Sanfeng is still in Dhaka, in order to stabilize Dhaka, which is the Ganges Plain, and to make it Zhu Zhanhe's future granary.

But where is Multan?So in the Indus Plains!The straight-line distance is more than three thousand miles!
From Dhaka to Multan, any normal person would not be able to make such a decision, so Chen Xun's first reaction was that Zhu Zhanhe was gone, or he was crazy.

"I didn't let you do it in one step, so I just killed you, why are you in a hurry!?" Zhu Zhanhe gave Chen Xun a white look, and then took out a booklet from the side.

"This was sent by Sanfeng some time ago, but at that time I was attending my cousin's wedding in Yingtian, so this matter was temporarily put on hold."

"Look at it."

Chen Xun breathed a sigh of relief, took the notebook and read it.

In fact, there is nothing on it, but the governance situation in the Dhaka area. Although the entire notebook is filled with eloquence, there is actually only one conclusion.

Smooth, extremely smooth.

However, Chen Xun was dumbfounded.

"Why is this?" Chen Xun was very puzzled.

You know, when a country defeats another country, no matter in what way, it is undoubtedly difficult to make the local people really obedient.

It’s like the Indochina Peninsula. Although the people here welcome the Ming army, there will be rebellions from time to time. Most of them are instigated by those who are related to the royal family, or who used to be local officials. People were upset that they were fired.

But Dhaka is different. Since taking Dhaka last year to now, there has not been a civil uprising!None together!

This made Chen Xun very puzzled.

"Slavery." Zhu Zhanhe smiled and gave Chen Xun an answer.

"Slavery?" Chen Xun didn't understand.

"You are talking about their caste system? I know that, but I remember you said a word about the Dhaka issue: Where there is oppression, there is resistance."

"Compared to their high caste, our Ming army did treat the people very well, but it's impossible to cover everything, right? Did all those high caste people run away or die?"

"Deadly."

……

Zhu Zhanhe almost choked Chen Xun to death with just three words.

"You...are you joking?" Chen Xun looked at Zhu Zhanhe cautiously.

"I'm not kidding, I'm really dead." Zhu Zhanhe shook his head and said very seriously.

……

Chen Xun was silent.

In fact, he didn't know that the caste system basically completely cut off the possibility of people of lower castes becoming higher castes, but vice versa.

With the confidence of the Ming army, the low-caste people in Dhaka quickly rose up to rebel, and almost wiped out the high-caste people.

Of course, the saying of death is too absolute. Under the caste system, and even when the low caste system rises up to resist, it is impossible for the high caste to want to hide in the city, but for the small caste to hide in the wild is no problem.

Hmm... The big Yinyin in the city and the small Yinyin in the wild mentioned here are not in the deep meaning, but in the superficial meaning.

"So, is this your confidence?"

After a long time, Chen Xun said dryly.

He really didn't expect the process of things to turn out like this.

"It has nothing to do with my confidence. My confidence is our Daming army, the white phosphorus egg in our hands."

Zhu Zhanhe waved his hands indifferently, he didn't feel much about this so-called submission.

"People from all parts of the Delhi Sultan, that is, those of the lower caste, have been oppressed for a long time. Now that we have brought the better life they long for, they will naturally not watch."

"The current situation is that they have been slaves for a long time, and they are not used to being treated as human beings suddenly."

"Dhaka's stability is due to this reason, because they don't want to lose this hard-won happy life, so they will naturally work hard and abide by the law."

"This is actually a crime against the people."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xun nodded in agreement.

The so-called crimes against the people are to punish the guilty rulers and punish these guilty rulers to appease the people.

Taking the caste system of the Sultan of Delhi as an example, the Ming army is really a crime against the people.

Similarly, in this mode of suspending the people and punishing crimes, the people who are appeased are the most likely to become effective combat power.

Only after experiencing it will they know that it is not easy, so that they will give everything for their current life.

"So..." Chen Xun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and looked at Zhu Zhanhe with some excitement.

"Are you planning to use barbarians to control barbarians?"

"Yes." Zhu Zhanhe nodded.

To put it bluntly, to use the barbarians to control the barbarians is to encourage those low-caste people in the Sultan of Delhi to become the fighting force of the Ming army, so as to achieve Zhu Zhanhe's goal: to take the Indus River Plain into his pocket.

"Sanfeng is not very good at this matter. She is better at solving problems in a simple and efficient way. She can't play tricks like this."

"In comparison, you, a literati, are better at this."

……

Chen Xun almost lost his breath.

In fact, in Chen Xun's mind, he was no longer a literati, at least not the group of literati who were obsessed with climbing the ladder and seeking personal gain for themselves and their families.

But, in fact, he is still a literati, and his own ideas are just his own ideas.

Now that Zhu Zhanhe said this, he naturally felt very awkward, but he couldn't refute it.

"Then... after departure, I will decide or..."

Chen Xun took a deep breath, and decided not to argue with Zhu Zhanhe, because he couldn't argue either.

"Didn't I tell you all about it?" Zhu Zhanhe glanced at Chen Xun very strangely.

"You all have your own strengths. If there is a conflict, then let Sanfeng decide. You are not as good as her in this regard."

"But if there is no conflict and there is no need to use force to solve the problem, then everything is in your hands."

"If you disagree on a certain matter, then pause for a while, whether you solve it yourself or send a letter back to me, in short, you must ensure stability."

Having said that, Zhu Zhanhe stood up and patted Chen Xun's shoulder heavily.

"You know what kind of place Yingtian is in Zhejiang, and you also know what kind of place Dhaka is. Multan is not much different from these two places, and they are both good places for farming."

"The Timur Empire decided to conquer our Ming Dynasty in the early years of Yongle. If Timur hadn't died by accident, then our Ming Dynasty would inevitably have to fight them."

"So, you and I both know about the wolf ambitions of the Timurid Empire."

"Taking Multan, firstly, the desert and high mountains to the west of Multan will become our first barrier to block the Timurid Empire, and secondly, it can become our important grain production area."

"Definitely, there is no room for loss!"

"Yes!"

It wasn't until then that Chen Xun became serious, and he no longer had that brilliant expression.

"Go." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand.

"I have prepared people for you. Although there are only 300 people, they are all selected from my guard. It is no problem to ensure that you arrive in Dhaka safely."

"After you meet up with Sanfeng, the safety issue can be completely guaranteed."

"However, keep this in mind!"

With that said, Zhu Zhanhe took out a token from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Chen Xun.

That was the token of his father Zhu Gaoxu.

"This trip is still dangerous, because no one can be sure if this is the strategy of the Sultan of Delhi to lure the enemy in."

"So, when encountering danger, it would be best if you could retreat completely, but if you can't..."

"You and Sanfeng must come back alive!"

Chen Xun was slightly taken aback.

In Chen Xun's impression, Zhu Zhanhe is actually a relatively cold-blooded person, because although Zhu Zhanhe acts in the same style as a general, he does not have the human touch of a general.

In the grasslands, in Annan, and in the country of Japan, the soldiers who followed Zhu Zhanhe to fight in all directions received cold subsidies after being injured or died in battle, and never received a word of comfort from Zhu Zhanhe.

In fact, Chen Xun also knew that it was the best way to do this, because only by treating everyone equally can a bowl of water be truly leveled.

It is impossible for Zhu Zhanhe to give preferential treatment and condolences to every soldier and his family members. This is the best choice under the condition of not worrying about the few but uneven suffering.

This time, it was the first time Chen Xun heard Zhu Zhanhe give such instructions.

In the past, let alone heard it with my own ears, I had never even heard of it.

"Don't worry..." Chen Xun was somewhat moved.

"You also said that the people of Delhi Sultan under the caste system are so slavish, basically they don't have any unreasonable thoughts about our Ming army."

"At least, based on the status quo of Dhaka City, this situation will not happen."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe just patted Chen Xun on the shoulder, but did not speak.

From his personal point of view, in this era, he doesn't believe in any ethnic group other than the Han people, and Ah San certainly doesn't believe it.

The current situation in Dhaka City is very good. After the Ming army punished the civilians, Ah San who was liberated did not live like ordinary people. On the contrary, he was not much different from before.

This explanation is more complicated, because there are two aspects.

In terms of quality of life, there is a big difference between them, because although the Ming army is also squeezing them, it is just a normal feudal era of tax collection, but in comparison, the taxes they have to pay are higher than that of the Ming people. Much more.

But even so, their lives are several times better than under the rule of the high-caste Aryans.

However, this is only one aspect of quality of life.

From a spiritual point of view, these Ah San who were liberated by the Ming army still put themselves in the position of a low caste. Even if the Ming army did not oppress or abuse them, they still treat themselves as a low caste when they see Han people .

According to them, they are of low caste, but according to Zhu Zhanhe's statement, these Asan are treating themselves as slaves.

They asked whatever they wanted from the Ming army. Although there were no problems yet, Zhu Zhanhe knew that there would definitely be problems in the future.

Although Zhu Zhanhe discriminates very seriously, he discriminates against all non-Daming people, which is a human nature.

But the difference is that Zhu Zhanhe is able to control his own inferiority very well, because he is not on the same level as normal people since he was born.

What about later?

If the entire Sultanate of Delhi is completely ruled, the presence of Han Chinese is inevitable. At that time, Zhu Zhanhe estimates that there will be many surprises.

For example, in the past, Ah San would send his wife and daughter to serve high-caste Aryans, and there were even subsequent plots comparable to Japanese movies.

For example, helping raise children.

Not all Han people are good people, and not everyone can abide by moral standards. If every Han people could do it, then the Ming Dynasty would have been peaceful long ago.

Where is there still so much chaos?
