553 Merchants and Untouchables

Tirumara Deva Raya, this is the name of the new three-year-old king.

Deva is the surname of the founding monarch, the aforementioned Hindu fallen prince. Raya is the surname of the usurper, because he married a princess, and added "Deva" before his surname, thus obtaining the legal inheritance of the state.

This dynasty, which has only been established for 40 years, is still obtained by usurpation, so it is understandable why all the members are two or five boys.

The boys ate a row of guns, and then it was the turn of the king's supporters.

These supporters have been killed by the ministers. Ning Botao selected the most influential among them, and destroyed another batch of the clan, all the men of the family were killed, and the women of the family were assigned to the Ming soldiers.

Wangcheng has a population of more than 500,000 people, and must rely on the old system to govern, otherwise it will not even understand the language.

The surviving supporters of the kingdom have been promoted to manage civil affairs.

Thousands of cavalry who surrendered, those who were promoted, those who gave fields, but all of them were converted to infantry. Their war horses were forcibly handed over to the Ming soldiers, and Ning Botao planned to train the cavalry troops by himself.

At this time, the Daming Navy Division had already occupied two-thirds of the country's territory, but did not choose to continue the Northern Expedition.

Because the rainy season is coming.

Ning Botao sent an envoy in the name of the new king to order King Qin's main force to surrender immediately.

Tens of thousands of elite troops, receiving the news halfway, instantly became overwhelmed. The generals inquired about the news from the envoys, and some of them learned that their families had been wiped out, and they immediately shouted that they would not surrender. Some heard that their clansmen had become big officials, and urged them to hurry back to get promoted and make a fortune.

The commander of this army, Navisa, happened to be one of the exterminated tribes.

He summoned the generals to discuss the plan, and suddenly the swords and axes came out and killed all the surrendering factions. However, this goods dare not go back, once the army of the royal city is bound to get out of control, even if he snatches the capital back, he will be alone and will be seized by other families.

So, he returned the same way and swore to the Northern Expedition.

The Bahmani Sultanate to the north was made a vassal state by the previous male lord. Later, the name of the country was simply abolished, and the name was changed to the state of Golkunda, and freedom of religious belief was imposed, and the king was no longer allowed to call himself sultan.

As soon as the lord died, the king of the north was again called sultan, and he marched out with a great army.

As soon as the elite army left, the ministers began to fight for power, and finally made such a scene.

In desperation, Navisa, the commander of the army, led his troops to plunder all the way, and along the way dragged tens of thousands of civilians into the country of Golkunda, which was also called the Sultan. After two months of fierce fighting, the kingdom of Golkunda was destroyed, and the commander actually became king himself, and converted to the Green Religion with his troops and became sultan.

Ning Botao didn't have time to care about the affairs of the north, he was rewarding the army!

The 12,000 soldiers who belonged to the Tianzhu Cotton Society acquired land in the basin plain near the royal city and assigned a white woman as a wife. What if there aren't enough white women? Killing a group of high castes is not only to have women, but also to get a lot of land.

The three thousand Great Ming Sailors should also get the land, but their families are in Nanyang, and they will have to go back after the rainy season, so all the land is converted into gold and silver.

At that time, there were only 12,000 troops left of the Tianzhu Cotton Society, and it was obvious that some of them were not strong enough to rule.

Then transform the untouchables!

More than 30,000 untouchables were dragged outside the city to assemble, all black as African brothers.

Ning Botao rode among these untouchables, followed by a few leading parties. When he said one word, the Leader translated, "I have been blessed by Vishnu to liberate you, and you will have the right to be reincarnated in the future." I will give each of you a reward of land and give you a caste. Now, all the officers are standing up! ”

More than 300 untouchable officers ran briskly to the front.

Ning Botao took out the embroidered spring knife, pointed to the sky and said, "Today, I give you a surname in the name of Vishnu. From now on, you will all have the surname 'Ning', you can be an officer, and you should be a Vaishya! ”

Pure nonsense, making up Indian surnames.

The four major castes in India can be briefly described as follows-

Brahmins, white aristocrats, could study and teach the Vedas, preside over sacrifices, could give alms, could receive alms, and were mainly in charge of religious affairs.

Kshatriyas, white aristocrats, could study the Vedas, offered sacrifices, gave alms, and were primarily in charge of secular power.

Vaishyas, white commoners, who could study the Vedas, offer sacrifices, and give alms, were mainly engaged in commerce, agriculture, industry, and animal husbandry.

Shudras, colored civilians, are mainly engaged in services, handicrafts, agriculture and animal husbandry (very few).

Untouchables, no caste, untouchables.

In addition, the Shudra class can be subdivided into thousands of castes, which are distinguished by the work they perform. For example, the shoemaker, whose surname means shoemaker, if nothing else, has been a shoemaker for generations, and the shoemaker is also strictly a small caste.

It is somewhat similar to the Ming household registration system, where each caste class distributes work to the death. With the exception of the untouchables, all were defenders of the caste system, fearing that the caste system would collapse and that their peers or lower classes would take their jobs.

In principle, if the upper castes are poor, they can work in the lower castes, but they will inevitably experience social death.

The lower castes, no matter how wealthy, are not allowed to work in the upper castes. In case of violation, the king stripped him of his property and immediately banished him. At the same time, the king has the right to elevate someone's caste, but caste elevation exists only within whites.

Ning Botao gave these untouchables a caste, first of all, he had to give a surname, and then he had to give a job, otherwise he would have done nothing.

Not to mention untouchables, even Shudras, are not allowed to be officers, and there is no established surname to bestow, Ning Botao simply gave these untouchable officers the surname "Ning".

From now on, low-caste or untouchable people can only cross the color barrier and become officers if they have the surname Ning.

Ning Botao then said to the Dalit soldiers, "I give you a surname in the name of Vishnu. From now on, you will all have the surname 'Tao', and you can be a soldier and a Shudra! ”

More than 30,000 untouchables knelt down and bowed, and they finally had a surname, which they did not deserve before.

Ning Botao said: "You can only fight with me, once I leave here, you will be rejected by the four castes, and you will become untouchables again!" Now, pledge your allegiance to me. ”

More than 30,000 untouchables once again bowed down and swore allegiance in various languages.

These are the most sincere vows, and they must go all the way to the dark. Once the Ming officers and soldiers were driven away, they would not only lose their land, lose their jobs, but even lose their surnames.

Ning Botao called more than a dozen leading party members, all of whom were Vaishyas merchants.

Ning Botao pointed to the sky with an embroidered spring knife in his hand: "In the name of Vishnu, I give you a surname. From now on, you will all have the surname 'Follower', and you can be ministers and tax collectors, and you will be Kshatriyas! ”

These guys, all southeastern coastal merchants, have enough money, but have been white commoners for generations. If you want to become an aristocrat, it is more difficult than winning the 5 million jackpot.

White civilian businessmen are the core of Ning Botao's rule. Upgrade them to Kshatriyas, give them the right to be officials, and these leading parties will become the most loyal dogs. Power is addictive, and after they become officials, they would rather die than give up, and they will not tolerate other high castes at all.

More than a dozen white commoner merchants jumped from Vaishyas to Kshatriyas, and the massacre of Ning Botao began again, and it was the nobles who took the initiative to send their heads.

The massacre was caused by the ascent of more than 30,000 untouchables, and the news spread to arouse everyone's dissatisfaction.

Some guys took the opportunity to join forces, not to drive Ning Botao away, but to force Ning Botao to abolish the untouchable caste.

Ning Botao took the opportunity to raise the butcher's knife, killed all the king's supporters, and canonized those die-hard merchants as aristocratic ministers. Then he selected white commoners and wealthy merchants on the spot, and at once promoted hundreds of merchants to Kshatriyas, all of whom were given the surname "followers", and then thrown to the local government to become civil officials.

—————

Those who do not accept will be killed!

With absolute force, you can break the shackles of caste. For example, in history, there was a Vaishya officer named Shimu (or a Hindu chief) who rebelled and defeated the Mughal Dynasty, and after becoming king, he raised his own caste and called himself "King Chaori".

Two hundred years ago, the Indian subcontinent was almost completely green, because a large number of untouchables joined the Green Religion to get rid of the old life of not being human.

The place occupied by Ning Botao is the only remaining Hindu country in present-day India, and it has long been surrounded by green countries.

Killing the nobles, the merchants as officials, and the untouchables as soldiers, Ning Botao temporarily controlled the territory.

A series of rebellions followed, and the local aristocracy disobeyed the merchant officials. The first batch of merchant officials sent out were killed by the local nobles.

Leave 1,000 Ming soldiers and 30,000 untouchable soldiers to guard the royal city.

The remaining 14,000 Ming soldiers, scattered into fourteen units, were led by the second group of merchant officials and went to various places to suppress the rebellion of the minor nobles. Everywhere they passed, rivers of blood flowed, rebellious nobles and men were killed, and women were kept as wives for immigrants, and their property and land were robbed by the way!

It seems that the situation is serious, but in fact there is nothing to be afraid of.

Because the main population of Hindu society is the Shudra who are engaged in handicrafts and services. And the caste that Ning Botao raised only robbed the officials and soldiers of their jobs, and did not even violate the Brahmins, who were in charge of religion.

As long as you don't steal the jobs of these people, and you have a butcher's knife in your hand, you can carry the caste as much as you want.

Win over a handful, hit a handful, ignore the majority of people, and most people will only choose to watch the fire from the other side.

This kind of routine has been summed up by Daming Shui Shi for many years. The islands of Ceylon, Champa and other areas where they used to send troops were also mainly Hindu, and they knew too well what these Hindus thought.

It was only the Western colonizers who came from afar who were confused by the variety of castes and did not know who to target. In the end, although it was clarified, it was too lazy to change it, because the management system of the Indian colonies had already been established.
