After the capture of the royal city of Kandy, the rest of the area will be decided, because in the entire island of Ceylon, there is no royal family that is more orthodox than the blood of the Selan sect!

The kingdom of Kandy was destroyed.

But there are also kingdoms of Kot, Roigam, Siddharvagar, and Jaffna on the island. The first three kingdoms were all products of the division of Sinhala, and the Selan sect could use his status as a prince. But the last kingdom was ruled by Tamils from India, and Sinhalese princehood was not used there.

In the winter of the nineteenth year of Zhengde, Shilanzong was invited to enter the Temple of the Buddha's Tooth Relic in Kandy and became the new owner of the Buddha's tooth.

For Sinhala, the Buddha's tooth is like China's heirloom jade seal, which is countless times more useful than the king's gold seal given by the Ming Dynasty. After the Selanzong had the tooth of the Buddha, it was an orthodox royal bloodline, and its political prestige was in full swing on the island. Even in the three kingdoms to the west, many people were ready to move, and even crossed the border to take refuge.

At this time, the Selan sect, which obtained the Buddha's tooth, officially declared himself the king of Sinhala, and the people called him "Buddha King" and "Buddha Son".

In view of the fact that the civil and military affairs on the island are in a mess, the Shilanzong, who has the reputation of showing talents, announced that it would open a department to recruit scholars throughout the island. Whether it is Sinhalese, Tamil, or the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, they can come to the royal city to take the exam as an official, and they are also divided into Wenju and Wuju.

Although this move was abrupt, it did not attract much opposition, after all, the literacy rate on the island is relatively low, and no matter how many exams are not those people who are officials?

At the same time, the sect declared Sinhala as the official language and allowed Tamil and Chinese as court languages.

In the spring of the twentieth year of Zhengde, the Sinhalese State held the first imperial examination, in which more than 800 civil and military candidates participated. He elected more than a dozen as his royal vassals, and the rest of the middle officials were appointed as middle and low-level officials, and the high-level officials were still former nobles.

Ning Botao watched from beginning to end, just like watching a monkey show, and organized people to harvest iron pear wood for shipbuilding by the way.

After the selection of officials was completed, the army was rectified, and then the household registration was cleaned up, and the yellow household registration was formulated in imitation of the Ming Dynasty. This thing attracted bloody killings, and the local nobles began to rebel, but fortunately, the whole country was not very big, and the miscellaneous troops of the Shilan Sect were easily pacified.

It was chaotic until the autumn of the twentieth year of Zhengde, and Shilanzong began to conquer the three kingdoms in the west.

The kings of these three kingdoms, three brothers, joined forces to kill their father and usurp the throne a few years ago, and also divided their father's country into three. After the separation, they attacked each other, and the smallest of the territory was the most ferocious, and the largest of the territory was defeated one after another, so the latter asked Portugal for help, and even the eldest prince converted to Catholicism.

Under the successive years of attack, the people of the three countries were struggling to make a living, and the three kings were unpopular because of their father's murder.

With the Buddha's tooth and the orthodox bloodline, the Shilanzong also declared that it would ban paganism, and once again staged countless scenes to welcome the king. The time to destroy these three countries was shorter than the time he made for the Yellow Book of Household Registration, and then he went north to conquer the last kingdom.

"General Ning, please be sure to help!" Shi Lanzong found Ning Botao.

Ning Botao said with a smile: "The prince has already occupied three-quarters of the land on the whole island, and he is still afraid of the Jaffna country?" ”

Shi Lanzong said embarrassedly: "General Ning said that he laughed, he knew his own affairs, and Xiao Wang was able to quickly restore the country, in addition to the orthodox bloodline of the royal family, but also because of the help of the great soldiers." In this Jaffna country, Xiao Wang's bloodline identity is useless, and most of its citizens are Tamil. And his soldiers are brave, and Xiao Wang's newly built division is afraid that it will be difficult to win. ”

"Huh." Ning Botao was noncommittal.

Shi Lanzong was quite humble and said, "General Ning, make an offer." ”

Ning Botao said: "First, the iron pear wood on Ceylon Island can only be sold to the Daming Sailor in the future; second, after the destruction of the country of Jaffna, half of its northern territory was under the jurisdiction of the Great Ming Naval Division; Thirdly, the port of Trincomalee in the east, the port of Colombo in the west, the port of Galle in the southwest, and the port of Matara in the south are all under the jurisdiction of the Daming Naval Division. ”

These demands were very excessive, and they were tantamount to swallowing up the entire island of Ceylon, the most elite key port—the four major ports that Ning Botao demanded were all Portuguese colonial strongholds in the past, and each stronghold was only garrisoned by two or three hundred soldiers. With such a few people, the kings did not dare to provoke, which shows how bad the local army is.

"Yes." Shi Lanzong gritted his teeth and agreed.

The founding of the country is not stable, and we must seek the protection of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise we will not be able to carry Portugal at all, and we will not be able to carry the Tamils in the north.

Although the army of the Kingdom of Jaffna is strong, the civil affairs can be described as a mess, and the life of the common people is very bad. Under the sea and land of the Daming Naval Division, the Jaffna army was about to collapse on the coast, and the local people were indifferent to the sidelines, and there were even many leading parties who took advantage of it.

As for the siege of the city, the miscellaneous troops of the Shilan Sect went to pile up, and the Ming soldiers fired artillery in the back. Those ammunition also have to be counted as money, and they are exchanged for iron pear wood and precious stones from Ceylon Island, anyway, the Daming Sailor does not trade at a loss.

After only one month, I called it a perfect day.

Because at this time, the country of Jaffna has actually been divided into two parts, and more than half of the territory has not been announced, but the warlords have not yet declared independence. The warlord fought desperately to the south, and the king surrendered directly in the north, but because the royal city was too close to the coast, the king was quickly besieged and could not escape.

The northern land, which is about one-eighth the size of Ceylon, has all become the territory of the Great Ming Navy.

The eunuch Zhu Ying began to organize emigration, and the enclosure was allocated to the Han people who had migrated past.

As for the Tamils there, they were originally invaders, and their ancestors all came from the Indian subcontinent. Now they either choose to change their Chinese surname and learn Chinese, or they are arrested and become serfs. And even if you become a serf, you are no longer allowed to believe in Hinduism, and you must convert to Mazu Niangniang.

The Sinhalese king, the Selan sect, unified the island of Ceylon and became the Buddha king praised by all the peoples.

And the one-eighth of the land in the north was automatically ignored by all the islanders, and the occupation of Daming's father was caring.

Iron pear wood, boxes of gems, from the port in a steady stream. Iron pear wood is specially used to build warships, and all kinds of gems are used to make money, and the Daming Sailor has a lot of oil and water, and Zhu Ying, Man Zheng and Ning Botao have tasted the sweetness and are pondering to find new offensive targets.

There is no way, the maintenance cost of the fleet is too high, and you have to find some way to make extra money.

They targeted Bangladesh because Bengal is also rich in iron pear wood. But I don't dare to touch it for the time being, because at this time, Bangladesh is the most powerful country in the entire Indian subcontinent, and the Portuguese colonists have never dared to provoke Bengal!

Alas, let's go back to the Spice Islands and bully the indigenous Javanese natives, who have only now occupied a sixth of the island.

Unfortunately, the occupation of Java cannot be entirely military, and most of it has a tropical rainforest climate. After the landing of the Daming Naval Division, the casualties caused by disease were far greater than the battlefield casualties, and they could only continue to migrate for development.

Speaking of immigration, before the war on Ceylon Island ended, Zhu Hai began to engage in immigration in Shandong.

Shandong was hit by another disaster, and the drought in the three prefectures was severe, and a large amount of land was converted to cotton, and the price of grain quickly increased by more than six times. Hundreds of people were displaced and forced to sell their land at a low price, and the gentry took the opportunity to buy land to grow cotton, which was similar to the disguised "cotton cannibalism" land enclosure movement.

Zhu Hai took the opportunity to go to Shandong to recruit immigrants, those victims were desperate, whoever stuttered would go with whom, and it didn't matter if they were going to sacrifice their lives to go to the Americas in the future?

Zhu Hai sold the previous few boats, and then bought the eliminated big boats from the Daming Sailor with money. Then he loaded enough food, drinking water, firewood, and all kinds of water purification materials and tea, and only brought the goods in one cabin for trading, and led more than 600 victims, both men and women, to the Americas.

This time, I had experience, and after leaving Japan for one hundred and two days, I arrived in San Francisco Bay...... It should be called Fukuyama Bay.

Only about 20 people died on the way, and 600 immigrants were settled in Mazu Lake, where they multiplied and began to colonize.

As for the next group of immigrants, Zhu Hai planned to settle in Oakwood Bay, because a large area of oak trees there could be used as a shipbuilding base - historically, it was the shipbuilding base of European colonists, and the inexhaustible oak trees were still on the edge of the bay, which was naturally suitable for opening a shipyard.

The first migrants, despite the difficulty of crossing the sea, were very satisfied with this arrangement.

Because Zhu Hai left enough seeds, the land was cultivated at will, and the grain grown did not have to pay taxes, let alone the forced labor of the dead in the Ming Dynasty. And the ratio of men and women is half open, and you can start a family freely, this kind of life is simply a fairy life!

It's just that the salt left by Zhu Hai is enough for a year and a half at most. If the fleet does not return, the migrants will have to find their own salt to eat, and it is difficult to dry salt on the beach in the broken climate here.

This incident is known as "Zhuhai Immigration" in history, also known as "Tanhai Gong Immigration".

It's not Bo, it's not Hou, it's Gong! Zhu Houzhao's grandson posthumously sealed.

When Zhu Hai immigrants just set off, Wang Yuan's eldest son, Wang Ce, also ushered in his own child test.
