509 [Master's Mission]

Lin Shiyi returned with countless gold and silver, as well as many crop seeds, as well as grass and mud horses, which are special to South America.

Crop seeds were brought to Nanyang, and there was no benefit at all, but they could get in touch with Zhu Ying, Man Zheng and others. After all, Zhu Hai's territory is mainly in the Americas, and Nanyang is the only place to return to the sea, once it falls out with that side, it will be over.

A few years ago, when Zhu Hai personally led the fleet, he brought back a lot of tobacco seeds. Nowadays, Nanyang grows tobacco, which is the second largest source of wealth in addition to spices, and Zhu Ying, Man Zheng, and Ning Botao have made a lot of money by planting tobacco leaves.

Traveled thousands of miles to Johor, and now Johor City is Zhu Ying's lair, while Man Zheng and Ning Botao are entrenched in Singapore.

More than ten boxes of gold and silver were brought from the ship, and as soon as the boxes were opened, Zhu Ying's eyes were straight. The eunuch rubbed his hands together and smiled: "Brother Lin, you and Tan Haibo make a lot of money every time." ”

Lin Shiyi said: "These gold and silver are all for Zhu Dugong. ”

Zhu Ying smiled even more happily: "No merit is not good, how embarrassing is this?" Say hello to Tan Haibo on my behalf. ”

Lin Shiyi said: "It was not given by the uncle, it was given by Wang Shangshu." ”

Zhu Ying immediately put away her smile and asked, "What does Wang Shangshu command?" ”

Lin Shiyi said: "Wang Shangshu said that although every time the sea quotation document is replaced, it is necessary to bring back a sufficient amount of grain. However, the local city departments are corrupt, and the sea quotation documents are the same as tea quotations and salt quotations, which can be obtained by bribing officials, and sending the imperial history to rectify it several times has no effect. In recent years, the drought in the provinces of Daming has been severe, and the price of grain has soared, resulting in thieves. This batch of gold and silver was all used to buy grain, and once the grain was returned, the imperial court could be exempted from taxes in the disaster area, and grain could also be transported to various places to help the victims. ”

Zhu Yingwei said: "More than ten boxes of gold and silver, the grain bought can be piled up into a mountain, how can our family buy so much at once?" ”

Lin Shiyi said: "Wang Shangshu said that no matter what method the governor uses, the rice must be transported back in full according to one stone and three hundred yuan!" It also had to be transported to Tianjin for unloading, and each stone was given a hundred wen freight. If the ship is shipwrecked in the middle of the way, you don't need to pay for it, just transport it over again. ”

Zhu Ying really wants to scold her mother, 300 wen and 1 stone of rice, and add 100 wen to Tianjin, what is the difference between this and Ming robbery?

After thinking about it, I can only rob it, but I don't know who to rob.

Zhu Ying summoned Man Zheng and Ning Botao, pointed to the gold and silver, took out the slip and said, "The receipt of the silver sent by Tan Haibo with the big seal is here, and our family has not embezzled a penny. Wang Shangshu urgently needed rice for disaster relief, and 400 wen and one stone had to be transported to Tianjin. The two generals talked about who to go to. ”

Ning Botao said: "In the entire South China Sea, Bangladesh is undoubtedly the one with the most food. ”

"It's not easy to fight there." Man Zheng shook his head.

Zhu Ying said: "You have to find someone to deal with." This is an errand ordered by Wang Shangshu, and it must be done foolproof. ”

Ning Botao took out the map and thought for a while and said: "Huaying and Zhancheng, these two countries are grain producing areas, you can choose any one." ”

Man Zheng said with a smile: "Destroy it together, and then knock down Nanpan again." ”

The Cham kingdom used to be very powerful, but later it was beaten by the state of Annam, and most of the land was annexed by Annam, and the king was forced to submit to Annam. At that time, the Cham state was equivalent to the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but they also recognized themselves as vassals of China.

Immediately afterwards, the Cham country was divided into three, namely Champa, Huaying, and Nanpan, of which only the Nanpan country was not near the sea.

Zhu Ying hesitated: "These three small countries are all subject countries of Annan, if we send troops without authorization, what should Annan do if he sends an envoy to the capital to complain?" ”

Ning Botao said with a smile: "The governor doesn't know, we just received news that Mo Dengyong, the minister of Annan, usurped the throne, and Ruan Gan, the general of Annan, fled to Ailao to recruit troops to resist. Although Mo Dengyong blocked the news, it still came out after all, and now that Annan is in civil strife, it is a good opportunity for us to attack the three countries that occupy the city. Mo Dengyong didn't dare to send an envoy to complain, he himself was a chaotic minister and thief, if the court knew, he would be the first to send troops to beat him. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Zhu Ying was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "That's really a godsend, if Annan doesn't have civil strife, he will definitely send troops to intervene, and we may not be easy to fight." ”

In both the Champa Kingdom and the British Kingdom of China, there were many Han Chinese settlers. In addition, the two countries also have ports, which are important supply points for maritime trade, and the population composition there is extremely complex.

Man Zheng and Ning Botao did not immediately send troops, but secretly contacted the Han leaders in the port city. After the city was conquered, they were promised a lot of privileges, and they were rewarded with a lot of land, and even promoted them to civil magistrates, as long as they opened the gates of the city at critical times.

As soon as I got in touch with the local Han people, I found that things were easier to do.

The main ethnic group of the city is the Cham people, and there are many of them who are willing to lead the way for the Daming sailors.

Champa did not believe in Buddhism, but believed in Hinduism, but in the Yuan Dynasty it began to spread because of the large number of Arab merchants in the area.

Then, Champa had a good relationship with Malacca.

Decades ago, when the Cham country was destroyed, the Cham prince fled to Malacca and became the minister of Malacca. More than 10 years ago, the city of Malacca was conquered by the Portuguese, and a large number of Malacca immigrants also occupied the city.

It was these Malacca immigrants who believed in the Green Religion that intensified the religious conflict in Champa, and even the king of Champa had already converted to the Green Religion.

Historically, the city was later completely greened. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the city of Cham was breached by Annam, and the Cham Green Cultists were slaughtered, and a small number migrated to Hainan, China, and only some remained in the local area. The Han people in Annam immigrated to occupy the city in large numbers, and the Han nationality became the main ethnic group in the city.

At this moment, it was the time when the religious conflict in Champa was at its most intense.

The target of the Daming Navy Division was Phan Lang, Vietnam, the capital of Pin Tong Long, Vietnam, which was an important supply port for the Nanyang trade.

Before the army was dispatched, he asked the merchants to spread the news in the city. It mainly tells the story of how the Prince of Ceylon Buddha, with the support of the Daming Water Master, recovered the land, drove out the Green Religion, and revitalized Hinduism. As soon as the Daming sailor arrived, Hinduism could flourish again in Champa.

"Boom, boom!"

The news spread for a month, causing the hearts of the people in Bintong Dragon City to fluctuate, and even broke out into several bloody infighting. The Daming Naval Division finally came, and when they met, there was a burst of artillery bombardment, and many fires were inexplicably ignited in the city.

As soon as the Daming sailors landed, the Han people in the city organized the opening of the city.

But some people moved faster, and the leader of the Cham Hindu tribe led a large number of believers to the palace, and the frightened troops of the city went to rescue the king. The Han nationality should take advantage of this great opportunity to quickly occupy the east city gate.

Soldiers are bloodless and occupy the royal city.

Hinduism is a good thing, and the Hindu leader who welcomed the heavenly soldiers was appointed as the lord of the city of Bintonglong, and his first task was to collect food for the Great Ming Water Division.

Fifty years ago, when it was still called the Cham country, it was slaughtered more than 60,000 people at one time when it was invaded by Annam. In the following decades, only one-fifth of the original territory remained, and it continued to be attacked by Annam, and with each battle, a group was slaughtered, and the Cham kingdom was slaughtered into three, and was forced to submit to Annam.

The successive wars have caused the three kingdoms of Cham, Huaying, and Nanpan to wither economically and reduce their populations sharply. After the Daming Sailor captured Bintonglong, the entire Zhancheng had no strong resistance, and it was decided like this, and the Hindus from all over the country even took the initiative to lead the way, and the Daming Sailor only sent a hundred firecrackers to easily occupy a large area.

After destroying the city, he painted a gourd in the same way, and easily destroyed the Huaying and Nanpan kingdoms.

After all, the sum of the three small countries is about the same size as Hainan Island.

The Daming sailors frantically collected grain, and the people of the Three Kingdoms were miserable. But their resentment is more focused on the Hindu leaders, because these people who are fighting for the tiger are also taking the opportunity to frantically make money and food, and they also directly come forward to grab food.

The Daming Sailor collects grain, and he doesn't need to move by himself, just lie down there.

After a few years of such a scourge, the people at the bottom will definitely riot, and then the Daming Sailor will be able to stand up and uphold justice. Slaughtering fattened pigs can not only vent the anger of the people, but also make a lot of money again, and become a savior himself.
