Chapter 149: Picturesque Country (End)

Dingkou trade and mercenaries!

The words that came out of Zhu Yunwen's mouth shocked all the kings, as if they had heard a fantasy.

In this era, Dingkou is a symbol of a country's national strength, and no matter how mentally retarded a foolish king is, it is impossible for a foolish king to sell his people to other countries.

"Please forgive Your Majesty the Great Emperor, it is difficult for us to obey this matter."

Ramaraja was the first to jump out, his Siamese Buddha country, he disliked the lack of serfs at the bottom, and sold it to the Ming Dynasty? Think beautifully!

Several other countries also spoke up and rejected Zhu Yunwen's proposal, only to find that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not angry because of this, but smiled.

"Why are you in a hurry?"

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, and more than a dozen people came in carrying a huge screen outside the main hall, on which hung the vast map of the southwestern countries.

"You should all know what is the place west of the country of Punggara."

West of Punggara?

The seven people in the hall were stunned, and then suddenly realized that it was the territory of the Zhangpur Kingdom.

Gangetic plains!

"I saw some biographies of my Ming travels, saying that there are many Dingkou in that place, yes or no?"

Not only is there a large number of Dingkou, how the teachings of Sunni sect conflict with Buddhist teachings, it is impossible to slaughter the people from top to bottom, and before the Tughluk dynasty was overthrown, it had left a ruling code for the military aristocracy of the Timurid Empire.

As long as they do not destroy the temple teachings that are regarded by the Hindus as their spiritual home, they are happy to be serfs honestly, because the caste system has been entrenched for thousands of years, and slavery has long been a matter of course for them.

The targets of this group of green disciples were the middle and upper classes of the Hindu sect, and the lower Aryans and Shudras, who accounted for more than ninety percent, were not subjected to the butcher knives of Jangpur and the Sultanate of North Delhi, but were well protected as leeks for the Green Sect.

"The Dingkou trade I mentioned, the countries can unite to grab it from this country and sell it to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yunwen outlined a wonderful future plan for the seven people: "Every Dingkou, male or female, old or young, has a price, armor and soldiers, grain, porcelain, silk and other objects, medicine and other things of my Daming, naturally there are also a number of prices, instead of you and I Daming are fighting to the head of the blood just to snatch that little bit of resources, why not turn the gun and go there to rob Dingkou and sell it to Daming, and then buy it from my Daming?" ”

Looted Dingkou and sold it to Daming in exchange for resources?

The six of them were busy thinking about it in their hearts, what Zhu Yunwen said was not wrong, fighting Annan was tantamount to doing the right thing with the Ming Dynasty, and it was thankless, but the western expedition to fight Zhangpur and the Sultan of North Delhi? Isn't that also a tiger's mouth?

The combat effectiveness of the Green Sect is also very strong.

If it weren't for the Sultan of North Delhi who was busy pacifying Bahmani, the butcher's knife of the Green Cult would have been all the way to Punggara along the Gangetic Plain!

Not to mention, behind these two countries stood the notorious butcher Timur.

I heard that Timur had just defeated the invincible Ottoman Empire and annexed countless land city-states, and began to prepare for the eastward expedition with great ambition, intending to annex Warat and Tatar along the steppe, and attack the Ming Dynasty with all his strength, and rebuild the Great Mongolian system that spanned Asia, Europe and Africa.

This is the sorrow of small countries.

Sandwiched between two great empires, no matter which side they fall towards, the possibility of going to hell is far greater than survival, which is why these countries in South Asia have been slow to develop for so many years, because they have no hope of expansion.

"I know what you're worried about?"

Zhu Yunwen just glanced at it, and roughly had a number in his heart, there is a record of the Seven Guards of the Western Regions in the inner library of the Ming Dynasty, telling the fierceness of the Timurid Empire, a country composed of a group of brainwashed outlaws, and the war is naturally fierce and tight, and it is the era of cold weapons, a group of nomads who are not afraid of death, how strong will the combat effectiveness be?

That madman-like leader Timur dared to detain and kill the messenger of the Ming Dynasty in the year of Hongwu!

The Chagatai Khanate, the Ilkhanate, and the Golden Horde, which were left behind after the death of Genghis Khan, were all annexed and defeated by this Timur!

If he hadn't come to the southwest this time and saw this map of the southwest in the Xiping Marquis's Mansion, Zhu Yunwen almost forgot that there was such a tiger entrenched on the west side of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Compared to the madman nation of the Green Cultists, the two surviving tribes of Warat and Tatar are really not much of a threat.

Come up with an idea and drag them back.

Just like the Entente and Allied countries during World War I and World War II, around a large empire, there are always many death squads who take the lead in charging and waving flags and shouting.

"You're afraid of the Timurid Empire behind them, right?"

Zhu Yunwen pressed his arms on the big case, leaned forward, and looked down with a very aggressive attitude at a group of monarchs of the six countries, who were either tempted or uneasy.

"So I also proposed a mercenary system, your army can send the Ming Dynasty, I can select people to teach, and pay you money and wealth, all their expenses are borne by my Ming Dynasty, they fight for my Ming Dynasty, and I will also pay you for the dead and wounded, how about it?"

In the army of the Ming Dynasty, learn the method of training the army of the Ming Dynasty, wear the armor of the Ming Dynasty, and take the weapons of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen's approach was actually the way warlords liked to invite the German teaching group when they were training soldiers.

Cultivate the military strength of these small countries, and then tie them to the chariot of the Ming Dynasty with interests, and let them shed their blood and work as cannon fodder, so as to weaken the strength of the hostile country, and enhance the influence and deterrence of the Ming Dynasty.

The army that hired them, split and mixed into the military system of the Ming Dynasty, and scattered to fight in the north and south of the world, coupled with the cultural indoctrination of political instructors, sooner or later, even if this group of low-level big-headed soldiers could not become Han Chinese, at least they would have a good impression of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as we share weal and wife with the Ming Dynasty and share common interests, after a long time, the cultural intersection is getting deeper and deeper, and these countries cannot afford not to respect the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation, and they do not have the ability and ability to defect.

Under the Great Empire system, except for the leading country, all other countries are just leeks.

"Once the Poole Kingdom and the Sultanate attack you, I will also help you defend the country, and you will not retreat from the battle, even if you use all your national strength, it is naturally due, how about it?"

When it comes to this, the six monarchs have nothing to say, the Indochina Peninsula is such a large territory, if you don't stand in line, they will be small countries for generations, it is better to grit your teeth and follow the Ming Dynasty, if Timur is destroyed in the future, then they can always get a lot of countless vast lands and populations in the west, right?

"All wishes are subject to the Holy Judgment of His Majesty the Great Emperor."

Everyone got up and bowed, and Zhu Yunwen shouted.

"Good!"

"A man cannot stand without faith, and the same is true for a country without faith, and the covenant should be benchmarked."

As soon as Zhu Yunwen's voice fell, several small eunuchs behind him took out seven inscriptions, put them down in front of Zhu Yunwen and the six people, and unfolded them, which was the Covenant that had been surveyed.

Until the end, after the names of the monarchs of the seven countries were signed on each inscription, it marked that on the second day of the eighth month of the third year of Jianwen, in the Xiping Marquis Mansion in Kunming, Yunnan, the Ming Empire system was officially established with the Ming Dynasty as the leader, Siam, Banggara, Lao, Phnom Penh, Bago, and Ava as the auxiliary!

This "Kunming Seven-Power Agreement" stipulates the Ming Empire system, the Ming Dynasty and the six countries of their respective obligations and responsibilities, of which the Ming will be fully responsible for the territorial security and national security of the six countries, the six countries also promised that since the agreement will never have any fights and wars, if there is a conflict with each other in the future, there will be a Ming judgment and approval.

With Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yunwen as the supreme marshal of the empire, he coordinated and commanded the military operations of the Seven Kingdoms and the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms.

The six countries will open up and carry out comprehensive and permanent cooperation with the Ming Dynasty in various fields such as diplomacy, military, finance, commerce and trade, and culture, and the Ming Dynasty will undertake the construction of the people's livelihood and national defense of the six countries, and help the six countries train their armies and provide sophisticated weapons and logistics.

The Ming Dynasty could send the armies of the six countries to participate in military operations and pay them;

The Ming Dynasty set up a consolation division and garrisons in Punggara and Ava to maintain the stability and rule of the six countries, and the military expenses should be borne by the Ming itself, and the Ming promised that the garrison would not interfere in the political affairs of the six countries and disturb public order.

There are no restrictions on the types of goods that the Ming Dynasty traded with the Six Nations;

With Kunming, Guilin, Hanoi, Luang Prabang and Chiang Mai as treaty cities, Daming will bear the cost of building roads between several cities, and will be responsible for the safety of trade between them.

The Ming Dynasty promised to reopen the sea ban as soon as possible, and will vigorously build ships that can be sold to the six countries, and the proceeds from trade in Southeast Asia will be fully opened to the six countries to share, and in return, the six countries will not be allowed to levy commercial taxes on Ming goods in domestic trade cities.

If any of the six countries is invaded by a country outside the Ming Empire system, the Ming will send troops to protect and drive away the army of the aggressor country, and in return, the six countries will pay 10% of all the income of the year to the Ming every year as a protection fee.

The "Kunming Seven-Power Agreement" has comprehensively strengthened the power of the Ming Dynasty in Asia, and has played a decisive role in stabilizing the southwestern rear of the Ming Dynasty, and also marks the first step of the Greater Asia system conceived by Zhu Yunwen centered on the Ming Dynasty!

After the "Kunming Seven-Power Agreement", Zhu Yunwen and the six people made supplementary treaties on how to conquer the Green Religion in the west and the interests of a certain ethnic group, such as the transportation of labor, commodity pricing, and trade, and made a draft on the invasion war of the Timurid Empire and the military dispatch of troops to the west of the Ming Dynasty, and finally reached a unanimous consensus.

After the meeting, Zhu Yunwen of Longyan Dayue waved his hand, and the seven of them walked into the back hall together, and ate a sumptuous state banquet that Zhu Yunwen had not eaten once in the past four years.

Looking at the joy in front of him, Zhu Yunwen laughed.

This is the real purpose of his personal expedition!

War is always just a continuation of politics.

After showing off your muscles, you should talk about it, don't be full of your mind at every turn, kill people, and kill whom.

These countries in South Asia are the same as North Korea, as long as they are handled well, they are all leeks of the Ming Dynasty, and tens of millions of Dingkou in these six countries will contribute their flesh and blood to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty in the future, how sorry is it to kill them?

As for the tributary system, it has been completely proven by history to be a useless face system, and to deal with these countries, they should be tied to the chariot of the Ming Dynasty.

Only by engaging in a nominal community of interests can we snatch and squeeze every drop of oil and water from them more deeply!

What kind of bullshit is the agreement of the seven countries, when their use value is exploited in the future, and after the Ming Dynasty sucks up their blood and culture invades their social system, these countries are destined to be a province of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yunwen wants to leave an extremely rich and even unruly legacy to future generations!

The country is picturesque, and Zhu Yunwen is the painter who holds the pen. The sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers are all outlined from his hands.
