In fact, twenty years ago, Majapahit should have been declared extinct and divided into East Java and West Java.

But just like East and West Rome, each claiming Roman Orthodoxy, and East and West Java each claiming Orthodoxy. At present, East Java occupies the royal city of Majapahit, but West Java also often comes to pay tribute, and they all carry the sign of Majapahit.

The battle of the Daming Sailor some time ago directly hit a bunch of new countries.

After the defeat of Majapahit, the regime completely fell apart, losing control of the surrounding islands, and the major cities did not obey the king's orders. The royal family of East Java fled to Bali for a vacation, and West Java cowered on the island and did not dare to move, and the largest country in the South Seas was automatically dismembered.

In a very strange situation, the Great Ming Sailor poked his finger, and the South Sea giant collapsed. As a result, Manzheng's letter had just been delivered to the capital, and the situation in Nanyang had been turned upside down, and Wang Yuan and Zhu Houzhao were unable to respond in time.

Why is this happening?

Because Majapahit is a Hindu state, supplemented by Buddhism. However, its main commercial cities were severely eroded by the Green Religion, and once the central government had no deterrent power, those cities became independent sultanates and instantly entered the state of coastal city-states.

Moreover, these sultanates are still very fierce.

Take the Danmu Sultanate, for example, the territory is only about the same as two or three counties in the Ming Dynasty. But in history, not only did he completely destroy Majapahit, but he also fought hard with Portugal and its allies many times.

For the first time, 100 ships were sent to attack Portugal and returned defeated; the second time, he sent 375 ships to attack Portugal, but he was defeated and the Sultan was killed; the third time, it defeated Portugal's ally, Sunda, and renamed its port Jakarta; Fourth, he completely killed the Sundanese kingdom and changed its royal city to the Banten Sultanate; Fifth, the Majapahit, an ally of Portugal, completely destroyed and razed its capital to the ground.

These sultanates were really fierce, and later they fought with the Netherlands. Even if they can't win, the first fleet of the Netherlands will return with scars, and the ocean-going trade will almost lose money. Had it not been for the intervention of Chinese merchants, the Dutch fleet would not have been able to buy supplies to return home, because the nearby sultanates were reluctant to trade with the Dutch.

In the early winter of the 15th year of Zhengde, a large number of people from Guangdong and Fujian went to Nanyang.

They borrowed money from relatives and friends to go to sea, and even all loan sharks went to sea, just to go to Johor to pan for gold and make a fortune. It's a business of survival, and it's hard to live in my hometown anyway, what if you dig up gold?

Among these people, there are not a few who get rich, and even directly pick up dog's head gold in the river.

But many more people are being trapped to death, or dying in foreign countries. I really can't get by, and I don't have the money to take a boat back to China, so I will go to Singapore and Longyamen to open up the wasteland, anyway, you can get the title deed after more than five years of farming.

The king of Malacca could do nothing about it, and unless the Sultan's guards were mobilized, his army would not be able to defeat the gold diggers.

Many of the Chinese gold diggers were organized by maritime merchants. Not only are there swords on the body, but some are also equipped with firearms, and they are the most advanced flintlock guns in the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for the gold diggers who had no leader, with their strength, they would have been able to establish a city-state in Johor!

It is really qualified to establish a state, just like the Sultanate of Java, two or three thousand armed people can declare independence.

Due to the order to administer the three islands, in just over half a year, it has thousands of acres of land (mostly wasteland), and there are thousands of indigenous serfs. Unfortunately, the natives are not very good at farming, and they are extremely lazy, which is a great headache for Manzheng, so he can only hire Chinese farmers as technical guides and supervisors.

Yasan, the fire man who was officially renamed Lin Yaoshan, also has his own large manor. I didn't grow much grain, I planted a lot of spices, and I wasn't afraid of violating Wang Erlang's admonitions.

The Qiantang water division, which has expanded to nearly 10,000 people, are all landlords. If any officials abandon overseas territories, they will dare to rise up and fight hard, and they will have the courage to go directly to Beijing by boat!

……

Nanyang immigration is in full swing, but Wang Yuan is very idle in the capital.

His main responsibility was to be a teacher for the crown prince, and by the way, he also taught his two sons, and the teaching content could make traditional Confucian scholars angry.

The correct solution of "Huan Gong Kuanghe, helping the weak and helping the poor" should be the princes of Qi Huan and Jiuhe, and relieve those small princes who are thin and endangered.

Wang Yuan said to the crown prince: "The princes of Qi Huan and Jiuhe are for the hegemony of the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty implemented a feudal system, and no one could unify China. What Duke Qi Huan can do can only be the princes of Jiuhe and dominate. Why can the Qin State be unified, because the Qin State is located in the northwest borderland, and it is always in danger of losing the country, so it can really change the law and try to become stronger. The world of Qi is rich, the people live in peace, and the nobles are rich and enjoyed, so the country of Qi cannot change the law. ”

Zhu Zaiyun asked, "Sir, what is a change?" ”

Wang Yuan replied: "You play Keju with Ce'er and Su'er, and you can't win in ordinary ways, so change your way to win." That's the change! ”

"That's easy." Zhu Zaiyun said.

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not simple. If His Highness is strong and can win by brute force, then he will not think about changing the law. And after the weak change the law, it will be very strong, and it will be too late for His Highness to change the law. And then to the country, the weak people need to change the law, and the rich gentry prevent you from changing the law. And the officials are very rich, and most of them do not want to change the law, and the whole country will slowly weaken. ”

"Is Da Ming also getting weaker?" Zhu Zaiyun asked.

Wang Yuan said: "Da Ming is getting weaker, weaker and weaker. If the law is not changed, it will continue to be weak. ”

Zhu Zaiyun said: "Then I will change the law in the future." ”

These words were heard by more than a dozen attendants, a few of whom were particularly pleased, and most of them had ugly faces.

The next day, dozens of impeachment letters were handed in, asking the emperor to remove the lecturer who had given the crown prince's lessons.

Wang Yuan resigned, but the emperor did not allow it, and the officials were helpless.

The situation in various parts of the country is very bad because there is not enough food for disaster relief.

Powerful officials directly ask for crimes and killings, and severely punish those who hoard and live in strange places; Moderate officials chose to co-opt and exhort, urging merchants to sell grain at affordable prices; Black-hearted officials colluded with businessmen and took the opportunity to get money in their pockets.

The inspectors were so busy that they impeached the disaster relief officials for corruption, and there were a lot of rumors, and in the end, they couldn't tell who was true and who was false, so they could only send people to investigate in a foolish way.

The only thing that made Wang Yuan happy was the newly minted silver dollars and copper coins, which were circulated everywhere due to the disaster. The market acceptance is extremely high, and the imperial court can net tens of thousands of taels of silver every year just by minting money.

But because of the coinage, Qingliu and Jiang Bin did it.

Wang Yuan minted money in the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Households, and the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry had the same function.

Jiang Bin saw that this thing was coming quickly, so he colluded with the eunuchs to mix, and instigated Li Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, to ask the emperor for an errand to mint money. They use the same machine, cut corners to mint money, and frantically fill their own pockets, leading to doubts about new money in the market.

Mao Cheng took the lead in coming out to impeach, wanting to use this to attack Jiang Bin, and secretly sent someone to contact Wang Yuan.

"Wang Shilang, the new money is your hard work, do you want Jiang Bin to be so corrupt as a thief?" Mao Cheng seemed to have completely forgotten that he was still impeaching Wang Yuan a few days ago, and said to his face, "Please cooperate with Wang Shilang to get rid of this thief for the national strength!" ”
