First Prince of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 773

  Chapter 773 Raising Gu

Huang Yuanshou still didn’t quite understand what the prince meant, but he responded according to his own understanding: “General Jianfeng pointed out that the last general will go through fire and water without hesitation. He is willing to lead dozens of ships and tens of thousands of soldiers to open up the territory for His Royal Highness. earth!”

  Zhu Biao shook his head: “Most of the countries in the South Seas have paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court can’t face the prestige of the upper kingdom. It angered the vassal state for no reason. The teacher came out of no name, and the whole party was disappointed.”

  Annan’s lesson in history is that without a foundation, he directly occupied the country by force and ruled with a high-pressure policy, but the result was that he fell into endless suppression of bandits and rebellions, and finally had to give up.

  Huang Yuanshou’s strong and upright body shrank unconsciously with a bitter face: “The last general is a warrior. If he charges into the battle, he has no shirkable responsibility. This is a matter of seeking the national temple…”

Zhu Biao ignored him: “After the Yashan sea battle in the past, Lu Xiufu, the left prime minister, carried the young emperor to his death. It is rumored that his youngest son Lu Zili led the survivors of the Southern Song Dynasty to flee to Java Island in the South Sea by boat. Because there was no Zhao Song royal family by his side, Lu Zili He was elected as the leader, established the country and shunta, and prepared to wait for the opportunity to counterattack the Mongolian army.”

  Huang Yuanshou couldn’t help but exclaimed: “There is such a loyal minister in Nanyang.”

  Zhu Biao frowned slightly. Why is this person always unable to grasp the key points, but he is still patient. After all, compared with other people, those who have proven themselves in history are always more credible.

  Although this person can’t be said to be very loyal, and belongs to the generation with a clear mind, some specific careers must be completed by such a person.

“Mr. Lu’s wife, son and daughter all went to the sea together. Whether this Lu Zili is from the blood of Mr. Lu is still doubtful, but this is just a trivial matter. After Jinghai Hou arrived in Nanyang, the Shunta Kingdom sent envoys to submit, and asked Daming to be canonized as a vassal state, so He has to be if he isn’t.”

   “The palace ordered Guangzhou Xinhui to build Lu Zhonglie’s public square, Zhenjiang erected a stele of Song Prime Minister Lu Gong’s hometown, engraved Hai Guoguzhong on it, and sent the Ministry of Rites and Industry to lead craftsmen across the sea to Shunta to pay homage.”

  The more Huang Yuanshou listened, the more hesitant he became. This kind of thing is not something that a general should know about the staff. Could it be that His Highness is in a good mood and wants to talk to someone casually?

   “Shunta Kingdom is regarded as the benchmark banner of the Han people in Nanyang, but not all the survivors have qualified leaders to lead the country to take root. Too many survivors of the Song and Yuan Dynasties struggled to survive under the Nanyang feudal state.”

“This palace wants you to gather these remnants as a rebel general of the Shunta Kingdom. Whether you are a pirate or bandit, or find a remote corner to establish a country, in short, you must gather as many remnants as possible to multiply and spread Sinology. When the time is right At that time, annex and occupy Nanyang land.”

  Huang Yuanshou was stunned for a moment. He had just made a great contribution, and the saint Jiaen was promoted to the third rank and awarded the post of commander-in-chief, and was summoned by His Royal Highness.

  It’s fine if he’s the general of the Ming Dynasty, he’s going to be invincible when he expands the territory, but he can survive as a rebel general of the Shunta country, and even annex other countries…

   Kneeling on the ground with a plop: “If you are not the last general, you are holding back. You really have little talent and strength. This life is not worth it. If you only worry about delaying important things, a hundred deaths are inevitable!”

Historically, when Huang Yuanshou got old, he personally led a mission to Beijing to meet him. He was exhausted by boats and cars, and he was old and frail. Before his death, he made a memorial to hope that all the land he owned in the Boni Kingdom and the Duanshou River Basin would be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The second is to ask for the title of Zhenshan, the highest mountain in Southeast Asia, as Boni Country, and the third is to hope that he can return to his roots and entrust his body to China.

Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin to help him up: “It depends on God’s will to make things happen. All we can do is to do our best. How can we not be afraid to move forward? Since I have chosen you, just let go and do it. “

  Hearing this, Huang Yuanshou knew that he had no room to refuse, and his mind immediately came to life. This matter has risks, big risks, and if he is not careful, he will lose his life, but the opportunities are not small.

If there is no such thing, according to the transfer of the Ministry of War, he will go to Yunnan Tengchongwei to serve as the chief soldier. Even if he is reused by Lord Pingxi, he will be General Huaiyuan General Zhaoyong in this life. possible.

And now, if he succeeds, he can at least have a marquis for the contribution of offering soil and opening up the frontier. Even if he is even higher, it is not impossible. Or Ga-eun.

   “You can bring ten confidants. I also asked King Shunta to prepare two hundred elites for you. These are the only ones who can help you in the early stage, but as long as you keep fighting, the follow-up supply will follow.”

   “The court never hesitates to award meritorious service. You know how dignified the founding princes are now. You dare to compete with the Mongolian iron cavalry in the Northern Expedition, and now you are afraid of the weak people in Nanyang?”

Huang Yuanshou was rushed by this excitement, his face flushed and he said loudly: “The general regards the Japanese pirates as worthless. How can the people of Nanyang who are inferior to the Japanese pirates be afraid? The general will issue a military order to the general here. If you don’t Return after success, I would rather bury my bones and die in the seabed!”

  Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction: “I heard that although you are young, you are brave, and you are specially called into the palace to serve as the Jinwu Guard, and return to Beijing with the palace.”

  Huang Yuanshou thanked En and retreated. He had to quickly choose a suitable confidant and arrange for his wife and children, but overall, he was still very energetic.

  Zhu Biao walked to the study room, and the red pen handed over by Liu Jin circled the area of ​​Boni Country, and on the surrounding islands, there were more than ten such red circles, all over Nanyang.

  Government needs a foundation, but after the Ming Dynasty moved to Yunnan and Liaodong, it was impossible to find young and strong people of the right age to emigrate, not to mention that Nanyang was not under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, so how could the king accept and resettle the Han people casually.

   Without proper placement by the local government, it would not be called relocation but exile and distribution. At that time, not only would it not be the basis of rule, but it would also be the source of hatred and hostility.

  But Zhu Biao was reluctant to part with Nanyang, so he could only have the idea of ​​attacking the adherents of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, especially because they did not live well there. This is the natural basis.

There is salvation only when there is suffering, and there are ghosts and ghosts that need immortals and gods. There is never love or hate for no reason. If they integrate well in the local area, then they will not consider themselves Han Chinese, and there is no need to rely on Ming to improve their status. .

  Shunta Kingdom is a special case, and Nanyang is not considered a powerful country. It just barely protects itself. Most of the survivors are being excluded and suppressed, and their social status is extremely low.

  Huang Yuanshou is not the first arranged by Zhu Biao, nor will he be the last, but he should be the most promising one.

   It is generally like raising Gu, the one who can survive until the end to integrate all the power is the Nanyang King that Daming needs to win over and appease, and such a person is the most suitable to offer soil and become a minister.

  Zhu Biao does not want to rely on force to conquer. There are many rainforests in Southeast Asia, and it is impossible for the indigenous forces to hide in the mountains, trenches and small islands.

  So the best situation is that there is an integrated force in Nanyang, with a sound administrative system, and an interest system composed of the aboriginal nobles of Nanyang who are the survivors of the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Coupled with the prosperity and stability of the economy caused by the opening of the sea trade in the Ming Dynasty, and the growing ocean fleet of the Marquis of Jinghai, they were reluctant to part with profits and could not resist force. mistakes.

   In fact, the fundamental lies in the interests. As long as you try to be a human being, wear comfortable clothes, eat delicious food, and live a stable life, no one will ever go back to the savage life of picking shells and wearing straw mats.

  According to the report of the Marquis of Jinghai, all countries in Southeast Asia have no city walls. The houses of the Chinese people are covered with thatch, and the furniture is built with bricks.

Not to mention the adherents of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. When they first went there, they still represented advanced productive forces, mastering the techniques of farming, building houses, drilling wells, making paper, and making farm tools, which are common in the local area. , After a few generations, they will face the problem of severance of inheritance.

Because the climate and environment in Nanyang and the Central Plains are too different, some technologies are easy to be lost after they are idle, and they will not be found when they are needed. When the crisis is at stake, the most important thing is always to survive, and to preserve and inherit the technology. It also requires a certain number of people and the environment.
