Win the Ding 1617

"The envoys of the Guli Kingdom sent a seal, requesting to imitate the Ryukyu regulations and present it to the country. All the people of the country are willing to be the people of the Celestial Dynasty."

"The envoys of Mysore Kingdom sent a seal, requesting to imitate the Ryukyu regulations and present it to the country! All the people of the country are willing to be the people of the Celestial Dynasty."

Although the Guli Kingdom and the Mysore Kingdom did not make any big moves at the meeting of foreign vassals coming to court, they officially sent a seal shortly after the meeting, before the king of Tang officially announced the supervision of the country, expressing contempt All over the country, they don't want to be foreign vassals of the Ming Dynasty anymore, and want to rise one step higher and become an official part of the Tian Dynasty like the Shang family of the Ryukyu Kingdom!

However, Li Shouhan was very worried.Although the Ryukyu Shang family has expressed their intention to dedicate themselves to the country several times, but this king has never agreed!It's all good words of comfort.Take this recent time as an example, the father and son of the Shang family wanted to be attached, and in the end Li Shouhan gave the condition that the king of Ryukyu be made a duke and the son of the Ryukyu prince a marquis.On the surface, a king turned into a duke, but he changed from a foreign vassal to a nobleman of the Ming dynasty.The gold content here is very different.Moreover, both father and son have titles, and in the future, the status of the Shang family among these foreign feudal clans will be unshakable.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some people will be happy to see Lie.Guli and Mysore think so.

"Guri, a large country in the West. It is bounded by the sea to the west, Kezhi Kingdom to the south, Langnuer Kingdom to the north, and Kamba Kingdom [-] miles to the east. It takes three days by boat from Kezhi and ten days from Mount Ceylon. Zhu Fan wants to meet."

In the first year of Yongle, Yin Qinghe, a middle official, was sent to the country to give an edict to the country, and bestowed gold curtains, weaving gold weaves, colorful silks and canopies.In the sixth year, Zheng He was reinstated to make his country.In the ninth year, Wang Ke also sent envoys to pay tribute.Ten years later, Zheng He made his country again and paid tribute at the age of two.Its envoys please grant a seal and seal the mountain in the country.The emperor sent Zheng He to give the seal to his king, and because he wrote the inscription, he ordered him to put it on the stone mountain.The ci says: Wang Hua communicates with the heaven and the earth, and those who are included in the coverage and accepted in Zhentao embody the benevolence of good fortune.There are no two principles in the world, no two hearts in life and people, sympathy for sorrow and joy, and the same desire for comfort, warmth and comfort, there is a difference between you and me.Those who are sent by the monarch and the people should do their best in the way of the people. "Poetry" says that "the country is thousands of miles away, but the people stop it, and it spreads across the world." "Book" says that "the east is in the sea, the west is in the quicksand, Shuo Nan and Shengjiao, and ends in the four seas." My king is in the world, governing Huayi, treating Huayi equally, and inseparable from each other.Promote the way of the ancient sage Emperor Mingwang to conform to the heart of heaven and earth.In distant countries and foreign lands, the salty envoys each have their own place, and those who hear the wind and change are fighting for fear of successors.

It is recorded in "Yingya Shenglan", "It is a big Western country. It sails from the port of Kezhi State to the northwest, and it takes three days to arrive. Kingdom; west to the sea; south to the border of Kezhi; north to the land of Ruo Nuer. The Western power is here. In the fifth year of Yongle, the imperial court ordered the eunuch Zheng He and others to give the king's order and the silver seal. He rewarded all the chieftains with crowns and belts, led the big treasure ships there, built a stele court, and erected a stone saying: "The country is more than one hundred thousand miles away from China, and the people are as salty as Xi and the wind, and the stones will be engraved here to show it to all generations."

Zheng He's fleet on his first voyage to the West stopped in Guli for trade and supply of fresh water, food, and vegetables.However, since Sanbao Eunuch died in Guli Kingdom on his last voyage to the west, the new visitors that Guli Kingdom encountered were not as benevolent as Sanbao Eunuch.

After the Portuguese Vasco da Gama came, as Su Ge said, "I brought swords and fire instead of peace." Compared with the porcelain and silk brought by Zheng He, what they brought Guns and swords in the hands of rogues.Compared with the face-to-face bargaining between Zheng He and the Guli Kingdom, clapping prices, writing contracts, and equal transactions, Da Gama completely did it himself, using firecrackers and cannons to plunder.From May 1498, when Vasco da Gama led a Portuguese trade mission to land at kappad, eighteen kilometers north of Calicut, to his death in Guli on December 5, 1524, until his The body was transported back to Portugal in 12 and reburied in Vidigra.In the past few decades, the wars and conflicts between the Portuguese and the Guli Kingdom have not stopped for trade channels and spice dominance.

The war with the western colonists headed by Portugal, which lasted for nearly a hundred years, did not gradually stop until the Apocalypse Year, with the rise of the Portuguese Restoration.The Westerners were gradually squeezed away by the Southern Cantonese Army, and the pressure on Guli Kingdom eased a lot.However, all the powerful and malicious neighbors around are like a group of hungry wolves staring at a fat lamb, ready to swallow this country at the center of trade at any time.

However, the neighbors in the distance, the example of the Shahi Sultan family in Madras, caught the attention of everyone in the Guli Kingdom.

As the regime on the Indian subcontinent that first started trading with the Southern Guangdong Army, Shahi Sultan was once rich. However, the long-term foreign wars and large trade deficits soon made his treasury empty.Had to keep borrowing money from Han Yuan firms and selling land and power.Gradually, Shahi Sultan became debilitated.Soon, in a palace coup, the Shahi family was slaughtered by mutinous soldiers who launched a mutiny.Although the mutiny was quickly quelled, Madras had no legitimate ruler.At this time, the Hanyuan firm took out one contract after another.

"No matter who you are as the sultan, you must recognize the loans and treaties of the previous sultan's family. And guarantee the implementation of these treaties, these loans must be repaid on time. Otherwise, we will not recognize the legitimacy of the successor , and, protect your own rights by yourself!"

The ambitious people who want to aspire to the throne of the Sultan weighed their own weight, and then looked at the thick contract and IOU, all of them retreated in spite of the difficulty.In the end, Madras became the place directly under the Hanyuan firm.In other words, it is the direct territory of the Li family.

Look at your own situation, compare your own military strength, and then look at the situation in the Ryukyu Kingdom (they only saw the Ryukyu Shang family's request to include it, and the follow-up situation has not been passed to them due to geographical barriers.) The opposite facts made the king of Guli Kingdom and officials and nobles of all sizes make up their minds, "Enclosed! The above table requires enclosing! This is also to preserve our glory and wealth!"

"Hyderabad can become a cotton plantation of the Duke, so why can't our Guli Kingdom become a cotton plantation in Nanzhong, a horse farm in Nanzhong?!"

Due to the characteristics of the geographical environment, the ancient country has always accumulated a lot of good horses.Although most of them were trafficked from the west, the high-level officials of the Guli Kingdom believed that it was entirely possible for their land to become Nanzhong's horse farm, fishing port and cattle pen.

"We produce a lot of fish and shrimp here, and the price is extremely low, why can't it be caught in the eyes of the public?!"

"Exactly! There are so many coconut trees in our country. It is said that they are coconut shells, and they are also very useful items in Nanzhong!"

"I, Guli Kingdom, are willing to be like Hyderabad, becoming the Lord's cotton field, becoming the Lord's horse farm, becoming the Lord's fishing port, becoming the Lord's cattle pen, and dedicating everything we have to the Lord! The Lord needs population. Our domestic Hundreds of thousands of people, including those untouchables and untouchables, no less than millions, are all subordinates of the lord!"

The situation in Mysore is also similar to that in Guli. They are all under strong military pressure from the outside world, and at the same time, various domestic conditions are not very prosperous.Ever since, the high-level people also thought about it.Sooner or later, the land under his feet will not be his own.Rather than end up with the fate of a person who dies and the country destroys the land and wealth and all the wealth belongs to others, it is better to sell the country earlier when it can be sold for a good price.In this way, everyone can enjoy prosperity and wealth in peace.

The two seals attached to the foreign vassal's request were placed in front of Li Shouhan. The two cried and shouted that they wanted to betray the country and seek glory. The mission that insisted on being the people of the Celestial Dynasty came to the door every day in the posthouse to learn about Shen Baoxu.Crying and shouting, he asked Liang Guogong to observe the innocence of tens of millions of soldiers and civilians thousands of miles away, and take them in.

"Actually, it's not that my lord doesn't want these two pieces of land." Li Shouhan had a headache and ordered Li Peilin to go to Haosheng to deal with this matter, so as not to hurt the hearts of people far away.

In this regard, Li Peilin has a clear understanding of the fire.In his opinion, whether it is Guli Kingdom or Mysore, it is a piece of fertile land. It only needs a few years of good management, and it may not be able to become another land of abundance like Nanzhong.However, this time is not suitable.

"Just now, the king of Tang was about to be appointed as the supervisor of the country. At this time, these two blind countries came to offer the country. Does this mean that the king of Tang should be lucky, and the destiny will return? If we accept them at this time, in the future we will If you want to support the lord to go to a higher level, what should you come up with to express the lord's destiny?"

Regarding the ignorance of the civil and military officials of the Southern Guangdong Army, Li Peilin was also outspoken.Anyway, His Royal Highness Tang Wang is just a tablet now.His will, at most, works well in his palace, but it is only limited to daily diet and daily life.Even if he wanted to punish the maids, eunuchs and guards around him, he never had the power of more than thirty sticks.

"Sure enough! What the master said is true!" Li Peilin's words suddenly made the civil and military soldiers of the Southern Guangdong Army who were in a fog suddenly understand.yes!Today, His Royal Highness the King of Tang ascended the throne and supervised the country, and two overseas vassals submitted a request to enclose it. After that, if we want to add a yellow robe to the lord, what should we show to tell the world that my lord was ordered by heaven and has made great contributions What about Yu Sheji?

"Then, sir, how can we comfort the Guli Kingdom and Mysore? We can't beat them out with sticks, right? It's too chilling for them."

The heads of the various departments in the office were sitting around Shi Li Peilin, the commander of the Southern Guangdong Army, waiting eagerly for their superiors to come up with a charter so that they could handle the matter in front of them. Leaving these two vassal states to present the opportunity of domestic attachment in the future, so as to add luster to the lord's great cause in the future.

"I've never seen you guys so stupid!" Li Peilin was also furious. He pointed at his subordinates who had been blinded by lard for a while and didn't know how to change their minds.

"Go to the posthouse to find the envoys and deputy envoys of the two missions to have a friendly conversation, and comfort them with gentle words. Tell them that the lord already knows their heart. However, this matter is very important, and it concerns countless The well-being and livelihood of millions of soldiers and civilians cannot be achieved overnight, but should be done step by step. You can first rush and then take the time to prioritize and get things done one by one. In this way, in my opinion, If any few things are to be done well, it will take several years. By then, we are afraid that if they want to sacrifice their country, we will not agree!"

"Yes! Your Excellency is right! If you want to repent at that time, you have to see if the knives, guns and cannons in our hands agree!"

A group of officials roared with laughter.Gradually, as the atmosphere eased, everyone's minds opened up, and they gradually sorted out a detailed list of various things to deal with.

"Minister of Rites, together with the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court, the Lifan Court and other yamen, come up with a clause to confer titles on the kings of these two families. It must be in line with their status and strength, and the price they offer cannot be too high at once. If the height is high, the appetite will be whetted in the future, and things will be difficult to handle!"

"Officer, after the meeting is over, go see Xu Xiake, Mr. Xu. His Nakano school should have the geography of mountains, rivers, and distribution of cities and towns in these two countries. There are also important places such as ports and passes. According to These, you come up with the number of work teams sent to Guli and Mysore. Tell their missions that since they want to be attached, all systems must gradually be equal to our Nanzhong. Sending officials there is also As it should be. They must cooperate!"

"Also, Husi will also go to Nakano School to find out the conditions of crop planting, fishing, mines, forests, and fields in various places. The original numbers must be obtained. If necessary, our work team will first clear the fields. , mountain and river surveying and mapping, and then, promote agricultural technology, various iron farm implements and sea fishing technology.”

"My lord, my subordinates think that not only the officials should be sent over, but also the primary school teachers should be selected and dispatched. Let their children read our books and learn our language since they were young. In this way, it will not take decades , it will naturally eliminate the boundary view."

A head of the Rites stood up and expressed his opinion.This young chief, on weekdays, is in charge of the popularization and promotion of primary school education.Today is also the first time to participate in a meeting of this level. To be able to put forward his own opinions in front of Mr. Chang Shi, it is something that he can be so excited that he can't sleep for several days.

"You're a nice lad. You think long-term. What's your name? What's your job?"

"Master Changshi, Zhang Jiayu, the next official, is currently the head of the Lisi Primary School Education Department." Zhang Jiayu blushed a little excitedly.It is also an honor to be able to make Master Li Peilin, who is under one man and over tens of millions in the Southern Guangdong Army, ask for his name and position.

"Boss Zhang, if I want to send you as an official of Yousi to bring some elementary school teachers to these two places, would you be willing?"

"Educating all nations, there is no distinction between teaching and learning. It is the original heart of a sage. Why is the lower official unwilling?!" Zhang Jiayu answered righteously, but his heart was full of joy.Officials sent out to handle errands will be recorded separately by the official office, which is called "internal registration." Once something happens, the official office will first screen from the personnel in its own archives, which is a shortcut to promotion and fortune.

The Zhuge Liang meeting was held in advance to promote military democracy and brainstorm ideas. This is the magic weapon for the Southern Guangdong Army to defeat the enemy all the way from Hejing.This kind of meeting, no matter how ridiculous your words are, no one will laugh at you, but the so-called "fools gain a thousand losses."

"We sorted out the affairs of our taxation department ourselves. We need to send people over to promote their existing taxation system and our taxation system in parallel for a period of time, and then gradually abolish the old fiscal and taxation system. In this way, even if they With two minds, no money in hand, no food in the treasury, there will be no big waves!"

Soon, one by one, the things that should be done, must be done, and things that should be done urgently were sorted out.

Among them, a seemingly insignificant matter was marked with red by Li Peilin with cinnabar on the list to show the importance of the matter.

"The original coins, weights and measures of Guli Kingdom and Mysore should be stopped from circulation. The currency uses Nanzhong Tongbao and silver dollars. The weights and measures are consistent with Nanzhong."

According to the records in "Yingya Shenglan", the currency and weights and measures system of the Guli Kingdom is like this, "The king uses 20% of the gold to make money, named Banan, and each diameter is three cents and eight centimeters, and there are lines on the bottom of the face. The weight of the official scale is one cent. Silver is used as money, and each weighs about three centimeters, and this money is used for pocket money. The weighing method is one penny per round, and the official scale is eight cents. Money, the official scale is one tael, two cents and eight cents. The official scale is 320 taels for a catty, and the official scale is nine taels and six cents. The name of the fan scale is lost, and the power of the scale is fixed at the end of the scale, which is called the standard activity In the scale, lifting flat is the fixed plate, and the star weighs the object to move forward, and advances and retreats according to the weight of the object. Only ten catties can be weighed, and the official scale is sixteen catties, and fragrant goods are weighed, and two hundred catties are weighed. If it is called a sowing lotus, the official scale is 250 catties. If it is called pepper, [-] catties is a sowing lotus, and the official scale is [-] catties. If it is called a lotus, it is often compared with a balance. The method of measurement is that the official cast copper is sheng Exercising, Fanming Dang Jiali, every time the official is promoted, he will be promoted one liter **."

It can be said that once the two foreign countries of Guli and Mysore accept the terms on this list, let alone implement all of them, or only half of them, then it will be difficult for them not to integrate with South China done.

However, to the surprise of the officials who went to the Ministry of Rites to announce the will of the Great Ming Dynasty, not only did the envoys of the two countries basically accept the list, they even pointed out, "The soldiers and horses in this place are lax, The combat strength is not good. In order to be able to serve the Lord on the battlefield in the future, do you want to ask the Lord to report back to the Lord and select capable generals to go to the humble place to rectify and train the troops? The humble place must be the only leader!"

An internal turmoil finally calmed down and entered a slow but irreversible track.Li Shouhan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "A problem solved!"

However, what he never expected was that a bigger trouble was already on the way.

Moreover, this trouble was created for him by his daring uncle!
