Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 372: The resistance to the improvement of the status of the Dan people comes from the gentry and landlord class.

About the origin of the Dan people and the ethnic groups they constitute.

There have always been different opinions, but one thing is certain.

This is what Lin Che said. These people have lived on ships since childhood and have the qualities of natural sailors.

“Among the Dan people, there were not only Baiyue, but also Han people who became one of them when the Sui Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty were raging.

"

Liu Sanwu told what he knew about the Dan people.

He also advised Zhu Yuanzhang: "As for the recent batch of people who have joined the Dan people, I heard that among them there are remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang."

"I think that although these people are proficient in water properties, they may be of little use to our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought just now that he could easily harvest tens of thousands of outstanding sailors and form a group of super fleets.

However, he did not expect that the composition of these gangsters was too complex and they could not be recruited into the navy at all.

Zhu Biao reminded in a low voice: "Father, don't be disappointed, since Mr. Lin can propose to treat Dan people as sailors."

"There should be a way for them to devote themselves to serving the Ming Dynasty. Please be patient."

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to show a disappointed look, but he immediately restrained himself because of these words.

He nodded slightly, and then gathered all his energy, preparing to listen to Lin Che's answer.

……

the other side.

Lin Che briefly introduced the origin of Dan Min to Zhu and the other two.

He also lamented: "In today's era, even if the sailors in the entire Europa are added together, there are not as many people as the Dan people."

"They can be said to be the ancestors of China, the treasures left behind for future generations."

"If they can be subdued and trained into qualified sailors, Ming Dynasty will be able to build the largest fleet in the world without having to worry about no one to sail the ships."

It can be said that the Dan people have lived by the sea for thousands of years.

It has a natural mission.

That is to join the wave of great navigation and become a complete member of China.

"Sir, I heard that the Dan people are wild and untamable people, and they are also very hostile to us people on land."

Zhu Bai had heard some legends about the Dan people, so he didn't really agree with Lin Che's words.

He also warned: "Furthermore, if all our Ming Dynasty navy are full of Dan people."

"When the time comes, the warships built with such hard work and money by the imperial court will probably be used at an advantage to the people."

When Zhu Ping heard this, he nodded in agreement.

after all.

In this era, there is also a saying that people who are not from our race will have different minds.

The Central Plains dynasty regarded the people living on the fringes as untrustworthy barbarians.

"Good guy, before you even do anything, you've already misunderstood me as a traitor."

Lin Che sighed angrily.

He tapped the table with his index finger and said: "If you want to prevent the Danmin family from becoming dominant in the navy, just fill each ship with people you trust in proportion."

"However, what you should be most concerned about is not how to prevent the Dan people, but how to make the Dan people serve the imperial court."

Lin Che glanced at Brother Zhu Xi, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

These guys have been masters for too long.

In the concept, they only have the concept of what they ask others to do, but there is no concept of whether others will refuse.

"Do they still dare to resist and disobey the decree?"

Sure enough, when Zhu Bai heard this, his temper suddenly rose.

Lin Che was amused by this boy's words.

He snorted: "You already think they are barbarians, why is it strange that they don't accept Wang Hua?" Zhu Bai seemed to be raising his head.

Then came the sentence: "If you don't obey the king's will, you should be killed. Kill them..."

As soon as he started to say murderous words, a hand grasped his throat.

"If you want to be a hero, go home and stop talking about useless things here."

Zhu Ping glared at Zhu Bai coldly.

He thought that his husband already had a perfect strategy for recruiting Dan people.

Therefore, I am extremely worried that one day Zhu Bai's nonsense will reach the ears of the Dan people.

Don't talk about recruiting people as sailors at that time.

If people don't kill officials and rebel in advance, they already have their hearts set on the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Bai was a little dissatisfied with Zhu Ping's sneak attack, but after meeting his cold gaze, he couldn't help but tremble.

So he quickly lowered his head and made a gesture of admitting his mistake.

Only then did Zhu Ming let go and pinched the other person's neck.

In the end, Zhu Bai didn't even look at it, and directly asked Lin Che: "Sir, do you dare to ask me how the court can make the people of the Han Dynasty work for me?"

Although Lin Che saw the conflict between the two.

But this was also because Zhu Bai said some irrelevant words first, so he didn't intervene just now.

Hearing Zhu Ping's question at this moment, he replied without thinking: "For the Dan people who keep their own laws and regulations, if you want them to serve the imperial court, then improve their status."

Because the Dan people and the Ming people are no longer on the same household registration book.

So much so that his status in the Ming Dynasty was several levels lower than that of the craftsmen who are bullied today.

Ordinary people who go ashore for business will be robbed by gangsters if they wear too good clothes.

And because of their low status, no one even bothers to report to the official.

Maybe he will be blackmailed again by the government officials.

Therefore, the attitude of the Dan people towards people on land is basically wary and hostile.

If you want them to return home, the most important thing is to improve their status.

Zhu Ping had no discrimination against Dan people.

But he frowned and said: "Sir, this matter is probably more difficult than improving the status of craftsmen and merchants."

After all, the latter are still registered under the same household registration.

Generally, the resistance to improving their status mainly comes from the gentry and landlord class.

The Dan people are now coastal people and are recognized as inferior.

If they were brought to the same level as peasants, I am afraid that everyone who knows this would not agree.

"If something is difficult to do, why don't you just do it?"

Lin Che gave Zhu Ming a strange look and said seriously: "Since you want the Dan people to join the Ming Navy and shed their blood for the future development of overseas colonies, then you must give them equal status."

"Otherwise they will always be inferior and they will inevitably be bullied by other soldiers on the ship."

"If at the critical moment of the decisive battle with Europa, they suddenly turn back, wouldn't the imperial court suffer even greater losses?"

You know, the hierarchy of the army in the feudal era was already deeply ingrained.

If we add another group of people, they will be at the bottom.

Then they will definitely become the most bullied ones on the entire ship.

Lin Che could imagine how much trouble would be caused if someone who had been bullied took revenge.

Zhu Pingzhi looked stern when he heard this.

He nodded and said, "Sir, what you said is that you are not allowed to bully the people even if you are strictly ordered to do so."

"I'm afraid there will also be officers who, considering their low status, will tamper with their military pay."
