People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 498 Anyone who offends the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are! !
Xia Yuanji's words made the naval officers and soldiers present feel as if they had taken a pound of stimulant.

No one has ever praised them like this.

Even Lan Yu, the commanders, usually said the following to them:
Go ahead, all the glory and wealth will be yours;
Go ahead, and it is yours to make achievements;
Kill them, and you will be able to step on their corpses to usher in glory.

Although these words had a strong motivating effect, the words coming out of Xia Yuanji's mouth now filled the minds of the naval officers and soldiers with expectations for the future.

Yes, each of us is extraordinary.

Each of us came from the distant Ming Dynasty and arrived here.

Once we set foot on this land, we must leave our own footprints.

After we set foot on this land, we must let the people of Sanfuqi see the style of the Ming Dynasty.

We are extraordinary, we are not ordinary people.

Only Xia Yuanji can show their extraordinary side.

Yes we should go chase the waves!
We're going to chase the wind!
We're going to fight pirates!

We are going to sail on the sea!
We want to leave our mark on the vast ocean!
That's what a real man should do.

When I think of the images in my mind, the rough seas and huge waves on the sea, for a moment, it seems as if they have no power at all.

There was only one thought in their minds.

We must fly the flag of the navy over the sea.

We want to make the pirates terrified when they hear the words "Ming Navy".

We want to make the countries along our route tremble in fear under our threat.

We must let the people of Southeast Asia know that the Ming Navy from the Ming Dynasty is the strongest army in the world.

The thought of this made their blood boil.

When they thought of this, they suddenly felt that there was no regret in their life.

Not to mention the naval officers and soldiers below were excited by Xia Yuanji's words, even Lan Yu, Wang Bi and other marquises, after hearing Xia Yuanji's words, what emerged before their eyes was no longer just the future, but more of the freedom of sailing on the sea.

They always felt constrained when leading troops into battle during the Ming Dynasty, but it was only after arriving in Southeast Asia that they finally understood.

It turns out that war can be so exciting.

You can also realize your ideals and elevate your life.

They are excited.

They are high-spirited.

Their blood also boiled after hearing Xia Yuanji's words.

Even though they are long past those youthful and impulsive days.

But now, after hearing Xia Yuanji's words, everyone's faces were still flushed with excitement.

Even a commander like Lan Yu had a picture in his mind.

There were huge ships soaring on the sea, and the Ming Dynasty navy flags fluttering in the strong wind.

Even if we are faced with dark clouds from the sea, even if there are lightning and thunder, even if the waves are surging.

However, the giant sword of the Ming Navy was like a sharp sword that could split the huge waves. With one strike of the sword, a cold light flashed, and the energy brought by the sword energy cut through the huge waves, creating a smooth path in the middle, allowing the Ming Navy to pass smoothly.

The navy officers and soldiers stood on the deck and shouted to the sky: Look! God, can you do anything to us?
That kind of exhilarating feeling.

That feeling of welcoming the strong wind.

It's like the wind of freedom has been injected into their blood, making them yearn for this freedom even more.

Closing his eyes and feeling the fierce wind on the sea, Lan Yu had such a feeling.

It was as if in my previous life, I must have been an eagle flying over the sea and skimming across the sky.

One should soar freely in this vast universe, instead of being confined to the land of the Ming Dynasty.

From this moment on, Lan Yu and the naval officers and soldiers under his command would never limit their vision to one place again.

Even Lan Yu felt a little guilty.

He and his soldiers had previously been concerned about the small benefits on the island of Sanfuzi.

I still miss this little piece of land here.

I also want to squeeze some oil from these barren lands.

They also planned to exploit the people here after occupying this land.

Compared with the broad vision that Xia Yuanji talked about, the vision of himself and others seemed so short.

When I thought of this, I suddenly felt extremely guilty.

After all, he once led an army of hundreds of thousands to attack the Yuan court's lair.

He even destroyed the entire Yuan court and achieved unprecedented fame.

But I have come to a palm-sized place like Sanfuqi, thousands of miles away, and I am still thinking about this little bit of benefit here.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt extremely guilty.

Compared with Xia Yuanji's broad mind, I seem so insignificant.

Compared with the grandeur described by Xia Yuanji, his own vision seemed so ridiculous.

I felt like an ant standing between heaven and earth. Looking up, everything seemed wider and bigger than me, but I could only see what was in front of me.

Generals like Wang Bi had the same idea as Lan Yu.

They were also thinking about the people who were still complaining before them.

After Xia Yuanji came to Sanfuqi, he did not immediately divide the land here among them, did not immediately give them the benefits here, and did not immediately help them get promoted and make money.

But now they only felt guilty.

Because compared with the infinitely distant and great future described by Xia Yuanji, the short-sightedness of himself and others can only be described as short-sighted.

Thinking of this, they all lowered their heads.

For the first time, I felt guilty and even embarrassed.

The local officials of Sanfuzi who were standing nearby felt even more frightened when they saw how excited the naval soldiers were.

However, Xia Yuanji did not seem to want to give any face to the local officials of Sanfuqi.

After all, they had been humiliated in the court, and bringing them here was to humiliate them again.

It is to let them see once again the foresight of the Ming Dynasty, which is absolutely incomparable to them.

So Xia Yuanji spoke again: "Officials of Sanfuqi, I am letting you see the might of our Great Ming Navy now, not to make you envious, but to let you know that our Great Ming Navy's occupation of Sanfuqi is not in vain, and it is not taking advantage of others' misfortune as you think.

Even if the armies of your two countries, Srivijaya and Majapahit, were united, could you withstand the might of the Ming army?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Ming Navy soldiers below immediately roared.

"Those who offend my Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

This was the slogan Chen Han used to cheer up the Ming navy when it went on the expedition, and now the naval officers and soldiers finally understood the good intentions of Duke Chen Han.

The land of Sanfuqi is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, so shouldn’t we punish them even though they are far away?
Before, they did not have a deep understanding of this slogan, but now that they have actually occupied the land of Sanfuqi thousands of miles away, they realized that military prestige is really important.

When Xia Yuanji asked, "Can you really withstand the mighty military power of the Ming Dynasty?", the soldiers immediately followed Xia Yuanji and shouted:
"Those who offend my Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

"Those who offend my Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

"Those who offend my Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

The voice is so powerful that it shakes the world.

The clouds in the sky were shaken open, and the majestic slogans, the sonorous shouts, and the murderous military might were heard.

The local officials in Sanfuqi were so frightened that they were shaking like sieves.

The moment they looked at the Ming navy officers and soldiers, it seemed as if countless mountains suddenly rose up before their eyes.

And they are just a small stone at the foot of the mountain.

It seemed that if the shadow of this mountain tilted slightly towards them, they would be buried deep in the shadow, never to be able to raise their heads again.

At this moment they finally understood what it meant to be full of vigor and momentum.

Xia Yuanji's purpose in calling them over was very obvious, which was to let them feel the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, we must also let them know that the Ming Dynasty’s rule here is just a small experiment. If they want to resist, they can. Let them see whether they can resist.

Let them know what will happen if they resist.

At the same time, it must be made clear that it was very easy for the Ming Dynasty to take over the two island countries of Srivijaya and Majapahit, and it did not take much effort.

Since you guys can't defeat the Ming Dynasty even in a direct confrontation, do you still want to defeat it through so-called conspiracies and tricks, so-called secret plots?

Just hilarious.

Xia Yuanji continued: “I know that many of your officials are thinking that we can endure it.

Be patient until the Ming Dynasty helps Sanfuqi develop into a prosperous place, and then you can take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's laziness to rebel, or even drive the Ming Dynasty away and restore your rule over Sanfuqi."

In fact, these words were said after the court session ended that day, when the Jinyiwei reported all the information to Xia Yuanji.

The reason for this deterrent action was because the Jinyiwei heard the plans of certain officials.

Among them is the local official who spoke very harshly before, and also the old man they pulled out as the one who is said to have the most say.

When these officials heard what Xia Yuanji said, they were so frightened that their legs went weak. How could they not know that while they were chatting, there might be spies nearby who reported everything they said to Xia Yuanji.

No wonder Xia Yuanji brought them all here when he came to inspect the naval officers and soldiers today. It turns out that this was to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

It turned out that this was to let them see what kind of army they would face if they really wanted to resist in the future.

It was not until this time that the local officials of Sanfuqi realized that the matters they had discussed outside the court had already reached the ears of the Ming officials.

However, no one even bothered with them too much. Instead, they brought them to the training ground to let them see the majesty of the Ming Navy.

Let them know what kind of army they will face if they really want to rebel.

When they heard the navy officers and soldiers shouting over and over again that anyone who offends the Ming Dynasty must be punished no matter how far away they are, although they could not understand what they were saying?
But it was clear from the naval officers’ majestic aura and murderous intent that these were veterans forged through blood and fire.

Each of these soldiers is holding a firearm. If our own army of Srivijaya were to fight against such an army, it would be very difficult.

It is estimated that all the Sanfuqi soldiers will be dead in less than an hour.

The old man who had been pushed out by them before was shaking like a sieve with fear when he saw the magnificent military power of the navy soldiers below.

Because if Xia Yuanji had heard from the spies the content of their previous conversation outside the court, he would have been able to find out very accurately that it was him who said that all the local officials in Sanfuzi should be patient.

He was the one who told them to calm down and observe the situation, and then he was the one who launched the Jedi counterattack.

As a person with experience, he told those young and impulsive officials not to be so impulsive. As long as they could seize the opportunity, cooperate with the Ming Dynasty and develop their own families, they would be able to strike back when the Ming Dynasty was slack.

But now he realized that they still underestimated the Jinyiwei.

It turned out that the Jinyiwei had already infiltrated every aspect of their life without them realizing it. It was possible that the Jinyiwei had already developed local personnel.

If that weren't the case, they wouldn't have missed it when it was so close.

In fact, the old man was right.

The speed at which the Jinyiwei developed talents was beyond their imagination.

The Jinyiwei arrived here earlier than the navy.

The Jinyiwei had thought of this problem a long time ago.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are always different from those of Sanfuqi in appearance, stature, and language style.

In order to firmly grasp the secrets of Sanfuji, we have to develop local spies in Sanfuji.

So the old man's guess was correct. In the few months since the Jinyiwei came here, they not only secretly detected all the key information here, but also developed a large number of local people who were willing to join the Jinyiwei.

Their speaking style and appearance were the same, so these people were completely unprepared. Even when they were very close to them, they had no idea that these people were spies from the Ming Dynasty, or even had become the Jinyiwei. They were truly omnipresent.

It was only after Xia Yuanji obtained information about this group of Jinyiwei that he understood what these people were thinking.

Aren’t you thinking of slowly paralyzing the Ming Dynasty and then rising from the ashes?
Now I want to let you know whether you have this opportunity.

Take a look at the military might of our Ming Dynasty. In the future, our Ming Dynasty will train more soldiers here.

These soldiers will have the same grand momentum as the original soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

It would be ridiculous if you still want to fight back by using the so-called slackness.

The old man's face turned pale when he thought of this. He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He was nearly eighty years old and was already on the verge of collapse. He even felt that he would not live long.

Seeing the old man's shaky appearance now, and seeing the pale faces of the local officials in Sanfuqi.

Xia Yuanji snorted in his heart: When I was working in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, you guys didn't even know where you were.

The relationships in your official circles are too primitive, nowhere near as complete as those in our Central Plains dynasty.

While we were fighting, you were probably still playing in the mud.

If you want to play this game with us, you've got the wrong guy.

Now it is just a warning to let you know how strong the Ming Navy is. If you really dare to implement what you think in the future, you will see that the Ming Navy is more than just shouting slogans.

You will feel how powerful the firearm is in his hands.

You will feel how strong they are when they are organized.

You will feel how quickly they will kill you one by one with their firearms.

So this time, after Xia Yuanji came here, it was equivalent to giving them a shot of prevention to tell them.

You'd better behave yourself and not have any evil thoughts. It will be good for you to stick with Daming.

Although Xia Yuanji wants to implement the imperial examination system here, it is still impossible to develop so quickly in a short period of time. He still needs to rely on the local tyrants here, so he has to suppress these people.

On the one hand, we want to let them know in terms of spy deployment that our spies have now penetrated into every aspect of your lives. No matter what you do, no matter what you think, your eating, drinking, defecating and urinating will be clearly recorded by us.

Your words and actions are already under our control. If you do things honestly according to the arrangements of our Ming Dynasty, you still have a way to survive.

It is even possible that you will be wealthy and prosperous in the future and live a better life than before.

But if you are ignorant and still thinking about how to oppose the rule of the Ming Dynasty, you will feel the tremendous pressure of the Ming Dynasty.

You will also feel how powerful the Ming Dynasty's firearms were, and you will even be able to feel the despair of the Majapahit Kingdom when facing the Ming Dynasty's navy.

When the soldiers of Majapahit faced the Ming navy, they were almost defeated. They didn't even put up a basic resistance.

When the battle reached the outskirts of Majapahit's capital, their king had no choice but to raise the white flag and surrender.

I guess you don't want to feel that kind of despair. Of course, if you are eager to feel it, the Ming Navy will serve you wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, they also have to know.

In the future, the strength of the Ming Dynasty's navy will not only be able to fight against small countries like Majapahit, but will also be a real deterrent to the entire South Seas.

This military parade was very successful, on the one hand because Xia Yuanji demonstrated his superb speaking skills in front of the naval officers and soldiers.

Inform the sailors that you will receive a piece of land tax here.

Although it cannot make you rich overnight, it can enable you to obtain a steady source of income in the future.

After hearing this, the naval officers and soldiers were moved and filled with fighting spirit.

Although Srivijaya and Majapahit were not particularly large, they were equivalent to several provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

There isn't a lot of land here, as most of it is virgin forest, but it can be divided into many areas.

There are not many people here, but it can be imagined that in the future, the Ming Dynasty will definitely develop agriculture here, which will definitely greatly promote the local economy.

There is still a long way to go, and they will be entitled to a share of the taxes from every piece of land here.

It can be imagined that life in the future will be quite good.

Xia Yuanji even guaranteed that even after they died, their share of the tax revenue from the land would be given to their families.

This means that the naval officers and soldiers have no worries.

For those who are fighting outside, what they most want is for their families to have a stable security.

Once their families are protected, they have fewer worries when fighting on the front lines.

You don’t have to worry about your family having no place to live after you die.

There is no need to worry that if you get injured, you will only be able to farm.

Anyway, we have now been allocated a piece of land from which we can receive permanent tax revenue, which is equivalent to investing in a shop, from which we will get a share in the future.

What makes them even more motivated is that in the future they will face every battle with a more enthusiastic attitude. If they win and occupy the land, they will be able to receive long-term dividends. What a huge temptation that is.

The second aspect is to let local officials know how powerful the Ming navy is.

Let them know how strong the Jinyiwei's infiltration capabilities are. Even if they whisper, it will be recorded by the Jinyiwei.

What’s more, these local officials don’t even know whether the people around them are Jinyiwei or not. This is the most terrifying thing.

After all, there is always a sword hanging over your head, which is the biggest deterrent to people.

After this speech, generals including Lan Yu and Wang Bi led their soldiers in a three-day celebration.

But after returning, the local officials of Sanfuji all looked dejected. Even on the way back, they should have gathered together to have a good chat.

For example, he would summon officials who shared the same opinion as him, share with them the magnificent momentum of the Ming navy officers and soldiers, and warn them how to prepare.

But now I don’t have that kind of spirit anymore.

They couldn't even guarantee that there were no Jinyiwei members among those who were discussing with them.

I have learned from others that the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei had already infiltrated every aspect of their lives.

They have even recruited local people to serve as spies and informants for the Jinyiwei, making it difficult to guard against them.

Just like the last time outside the court, they gathered together, even though there were clearly no outsiders around.

However, everything they discussed had already reached Xia Yuanji's ears in full.

The reason why they were all brought here this time was to let them stand in front of the Ming Navy officers and soldiers to see the majesty of the Ming Navy officers and soldiers.

We just want to warn them that we all know what evil intentions you have.

Now I am just being polite to you and letting you know what you will face if you resist.
So what about next time? If they are caught still plotting next time, what will be the outcome?
In fact, everyone can think clearly.

After all, people who can reach this level are not stupid, but it is precisely because they are too smart that they are really troubled.

If you were a little dumber, you wouldn't worry about the future of the entire country.

It is because they are too smart and think too much that they feel the future of this country is bleak.

In the future, it will surely gradually become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and will no longer have the traditions before Sanfuqi...
