Chapter 471: The Founding of South China (Part II)
Who is the name Liang Daoyi that Xue Ke talked about, this may make people feel a little unfamiliar, in fact, Liang Daoyi is not deeply related to Daming, but his eldest brother Liang Daoming has been with Daming, or Zheng He for more than ten years.
Liang Daoming is a Han who moved south to Palembang, Palembang is now Sumatra Island in Indonesia, this Liang Daoming's ancestors can be traced back to the war at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, before and after the cliffs and mountains and seas, a large number of people in Guangdong and Fujian have fled south by boat, because they can be qualified to take a giant ship to escape alive and arrive in Southeast Asia alive are basically rich families, so they often bring a lot of family guards and equipped with simple weapons.
Most of these Han Chinese who fled south took root in Palembang, and after decades of competition with the natives, they gradually developed their own power and had a relatively room to multiply.
After a long time, it will have its own forces, and the leader of this force is Liang Daoyi's eldest brother Liang Daoming.
If according to the course of history, when Zheng He first went to the South Seas, the fleet was at odds with Liang Daoming when it passed through Palembang, and exterminated Liang Daoming's forces, and then established the well-known Old Port Propaganda Department, and the first ambassador of the Old Port Propaganda Department was called Shi Jinqing, who was also the leader of one of the local Chinese forces.
Before and after the establishment of the Old Port Propaganda Division, after the fall of Liang Daoming's power, his number one general, Chen Zuyi, became a very famous pirate in the history of Nanyang at that time.
In this time and space, Zhu Yunwen took a different approach to the treatment of Nanyang and Liang Daoming and other Nanyang Han people, the Old Port Propaganda Department was not established, and Liang Daoming did not hold any official position in the Ming Dynasty.
But Zhu Yunwen has been supporting these Nanyang Han people for so many years.
As early as the first time when Xue Ke led the army to conquer the Nanyang, Zhu Youjiao, the son of Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, accompanied the army, and Zhu Yunwen gave instructions on how to deal with the Nanyang countries between the two, that is, to exterminate all the hostile countries in dozens of countries in Southeast Asia that resisted the Ming Dynasty.
Win over and unite countries that are willing to get close to the Ming Dynasty, focus on supporting Liang Daoming, a Han force with the same roots, and try to integrate them into a whole.
There are a lot of Han people in Palembang, and the Han people are born with the habit of preferring to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail, so there are many splitting forces, Liang Daoming and Shi Jinqing are one of them, and Zhu Yunwen chose Liang Daoming, a bit like the pirate king Zheng Zhilong in the late Ming Dynasty.
Because it's easier for him to get things done.
In order to support Liang Daoming, in addition to some material transportation support, the Fujian and Zhejiang Navy Division also left hundreds of grassroots officers such as Baihu, General Banner, and Xiaoqi, and organized a military teaching backbone officer corps to train elite soldiers for Liang Daoming's forces.
Coupled with the fact that almost all kinds of weapons were sold cheaply, Liang Daoming's power developed extremely rapidly, and it was no longer limited to a small Palembang, but spread to most of the South Seas, that is, the so-called entire Southeast Asian region.
After Liang Daoming's death, because he had no heirs, his younger brother Liang Daoyi took over and took over the power left by Liang Daoming.
Zhu Yunwen took the letter in Xue Ke's hand, read it word by word, and laughed heartily after a long time.
"Good, good! is a good Liang Daoyi, quite ambitious. ”
I never thought that Liang Daoyi's first wild dream after taking over was to establish another country belonging to China in Southeast Asia.
Compared with Zhu Yunwen's hearty laughter, Xue Ke, who was standing on the side, was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, I have been running Nanyang for many years, including many backbones of this Liang Daoyi force, which are also cultivated by my Ming Dynasty, and they are all descendants of the Han family with the same roots, why bother to build a country, why not put it in a province."
"No, no, no."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand again and again: "Liang Daoyi really wants to build a country, but he also said that he hopes to join the Minglian, as long as he is willing to join the Minglian, there is no need to accept all of them and put them in the province." ”
When a country joins the Ming Union, it not only has to hand over military power, education rights and diplomatic rights, but also bears a lot of financial expenditure every year.
And for Daming and Zhu Yunwen, this kind of country makes him more worry-free.
With the passage of time and the progress of science and technology, Minglian's work on the sinicization of various countries in Minglian that are not Ming will continue to deepen, and sooner or later, these countries will eventually become part of Minglian.
"Write back to Liang Daoyi, I invite him to come to Nanjing, and I will discuss with him about the founding of the country."
After Xue Ke received the order to leave, Zhu Yunwen kept applauding in the hall, and walked around excitedly.
"How can the emperor be so happy that a troubled people from Nanyang overseas want to build a country."
Although he was puzzled, Zhu Yunwen was happy, and Shuangxi was happy, even if he didn't know what he was happy about.
"Look at this map."
Zhu Yunwen walked to the largest map of the universe in the whole hall, picked up the whip and pointed it on the position of the Southeast Asian archipelago.
"Liang Daoyi wants to build a country here and join the Ming Alliance, I have to help him, help him destroy all the countries of Nanyang."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen picked up the small red label representing Minglian and pasted it on the territory of various sizes in Southeast Asia.
Standing upright, looking at the map again, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but smile.
The Ming Union has encompassed the entire East Asia, Northeast Asia, South Asia and the Indian subcontinent, if you take Southeast Asia, the entire vast territory of Asia and countless resources will belong to the Ming Dynasty.
What are the remaining stubborn and recalcitrant indestructible elements?
Timur, Japan!
Only these two relatively independent states remained.
Because of religious worship, the former and Zhu Yunwen's ideal country are naturally incompatible with conflict and momentum, and war is the only way to solve it.
As for the latter.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the magnificent crimson rendering of the East on the map, Japan hanging alone on the sea, and smiled with the flag of the Ashikaga shogunate.
For more than ten years, the Ashikaga shogunate never stopped sending missions to the Ming Dynasty, and even with the establishment of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, the Ashikaga shogunate even spared no expense to support the Japanese merchants to envelop the Quanzhou maritime merchants and imperial merchants, in an attempt to get a few words of support to test Zhu Yunwen's tone, so that Japan could have the opportunity to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
These envoys and intercessors were politely kicked out by the Ministry of Rites.
"It's time to settle this place."
Zhu Yunwen hugged his arms and stared at him for a long time before he raised his eyebrows and laughed and muttered.
"When Southeast Asia is merged into the Ming Union, it should all be done, and Asia will only be the Asia of the Ming Dynasty, every inch of land and every foot of the ocean. Even a breath of air is a reward from me. ”
