Chapter 808: The British, Western and Dutch Envoys Come

Myanmar and other four southeastern countries have a total population of more than 9 million.

The first is the entry of compulsory education schools and Taoism and the Nuwa Temple, not only to assimilate their language and writing, but also to assimilate their thoughts.

In terms of language and writing, there is no doubt that every child who has reached the age stage must be obliged to enter the school to learn Chinese characters and Chinese, of course, the school is only for children, for adults, the Ming court also requires them to learn, however, it is not directly compulsory.

The system of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly absolutely superior to that of the four southeastern countries such as Myanmar at the beginning.

Take Myanmar as an example, in the past Burmese Dynasty, because of the need to compete for and maintain its position as the hegemon of the southeast, Myanmar has more than 300,000 troops all year round, Myanmar has only a few populations, and it has to raise more than 300,000 troops, plus the expenses of the royal family and officials, so that in the past, Myanmar's field tax was as high as 50%, that is, the income of each acre of land, the Burmese people could only get 50%, and the remaining 50% must be handed over to the Burmese court. Then those landlords for their own interests are naturally higher, generally as high as eighty percent, or even more than ninety.

The situation in Siam and Jinden is similar to that of Burma, and the southern state is slightly better, but it is also extremely high.

Although the four countries are all in the places where the paddy fields can be harvested three times a year, and the water source is abundant, and there are very few droughts, but with such a high tax rate, the ordinary people of the four countries can only barely eat and wear, which is still blood, sweat, and extreme hard work, and if you are a little lazy, the whole family may starve to death.

One can imagine how oppressed the people of Shikoku were before.

Compared with the four countries, the current tax rate of the Ming Dynasty has been as low as 30 taxes, that is to say, the income of one mu of land only needs to be paid to the imperial court, and the rental price of the landlord's land is also strictly limited to less than 20%.

Zhu Cihe's method is very simple, that is, taking each family as an example, everyone in the family can speak Chinese, then pay taxes according to the low taxes in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they will still follow the high taxes of the old dynasties of the four kingdoms.

Zhu Ci wanted to create a contrast among the people of the four countries, the whole family could speak Chinese, and every year only paid the almost negligible taxes compared to before, and lived an easy and happy life, while on the contrary, they continued to pay high taxes and still lived in dire straits.

With comparison, there will be motivation, and the real benefits and benefits are in front of you, and the people of Shikoku will not be able to learn Chinese and Chinese characters if they don't want to.

Since the Ming Dynasty has already destroyed the Four Kingdoms, the people of the Four Kingdoms can only honestly treat the Ming Dynasty as their own court.

Today, nationalism is not so deep, dynastic changes are more common, ordinary people don't care who rules them, they only care about whether their lives are sadder than before, as for the national language or something, it is also not so firm, especially the Ming Dynasty is still recognized for more than a thousand years, subconsciously the four countries, whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries, think that the moon of the Ming Dynasty is relatively round, so they are not very resistant to learning Chinese and Chinese characters, and even most people are very happy.

After the assimilation of language and writing, there is naturally also the assimilation of ideas.

The flood has been published as a whole book, all over the Ming Dynasty.

The entry of Taoism, the Nuwa Temple, and the Heavenly Book of the Great Wilderness was to assimilate the minds of the people of the Four Kingdoms.

The charm of the flood is self-evident, and now even the temples in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty do not deny the roots of Buddhism described in the flood wilderness, as well as the allusions of ancient classics such as Nuwa's creation of people.

The four countries are undoubtedly the territory of the Buddha, compared with the Buddha in the interior of the Central Plains, the Buddha of the four countries may be a little resistant to the flood famine, and are not willing to accept the description of the Buddha's heels in the flood famine, but now this is the world of the Ming Dynasty, with the Ming court as a backer, but no temple dares to come out to really oppose the flood famine, and in the end it can only acquiesce.

I believe that with the postponement of time, the Chinese classic myths and legends such as Nuwa Zhuangren, Hongjun Daozu, and the Ancient Six Sages will also become the consensus in the minds of the people of the Four Kingdoms.

At the same time as the Honghuang Tianshu books were circulating, Taoist temples and Nuwa temples began to be built in every town and above in the four countries, and the Taoist temples were the same as those in the interior of the Central Plains, preaching the principles of Confucius, etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, and the Nuwa temple presided over the teaching of noble talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Only when the ancient myths and etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame and other aspects of thought are consistent, can ideological assimilation be achieved, and only when language, writing, and thought are completely assimilated, can the people of the four countries evolve into a true member of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is steadily advancing in its implementation, whether it is Taoism or the Academy, even if there is some resistance, there is such a strong backer as the Ming Dynasty, it is not to be feared.

While the Ming Dynasty was steadily advancing to assimilate the four southeastern countries and other newly conquered places, on the European side, Spain and Britain also received news that Luzon Island and Australia had been captured by the Ming Dynasty.

The King of Spain and the Queen of England were furious and immediately decided to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, with an extremely harsh attitude!

After the Netherlands heard about this incident, they also took the opportunity to send envoys to the Ming Dynasty, in order to achieve the purpose of deterring the Ming Dynasty, the envoys of the three countries also deliberately gathered together and came to the Ming Dynasty together.

After half a year of sailing, the envoys of the three countries finally came to the sea area at the mouth of the Strait of Malacca.

Looking at the Strait of Malacca and the Indonesian archipelago in front of him, the Dutch envoy's face was slightly distorted.

"This was supposed to be the place of our great Netherlands, the hateful Ming Kingdom, who forcibly sank the fleet of our great Netherlands, expelled the Duke of Havelan, and occupied this place, damn it, damn it!" The Dutch envoy scolded angrily.

Defeated twice by the Ming Dynasty, the loss of Taiwan Island and the Indonesian Islands almost cost the Netherlands nearly half of its colonies in the world. Originally, the Netherlands wanted to take it back, but hundreds of warships were sunk by the Ming Dynasty, and the Netherlands was still competing with Britain and France in other parts of the world, so they did not dare to send a fleet alone.

However, although they endured it for several years, the Dutch never gave up.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has provoked Britain and Spain again, I believe that this has brought panic to the whole of Europe, at least they will not be silent in the Netherlands, Britain and Spain.

The faces of the British and Spanish envoys were also not good-looking, and they were also forcibly occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

The Spaniards were not so angry, they just lost one of the islands of Luzon, the British lost the whole of Australia, since Australia was discovered by the British, and declared a British colony by the Queen of England, the British knew the size of Australia, this is a separate continent, the British have always seen the potential in it, and the loss of Australia is not allowed by the whole of Britain.

"Don't worry, soon, we will be able to meet Emperor Daming, I believe he will definitely make a wise choice!" The British envoy's eyes flashed sharply and he said.

"Yes, that's it! Our three countries are united, and there is no country in the world that is our opponent! The Spanish envoy also said.

Although the Three Kingdoms are competitors in the rest of the world, they are at war every year, but they are unanimous in this matter, they all come by the orders of their own king or queen, and they represent the dignity of the Three Kingdoms!
