Chapter 270: The Nth Blood (Asking for Support, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Suide, located on the north bank of the Briganga River in the Ganges Delta, is both the capital of Wu Zhou and the largest city of Wu Zhou...... Of course, more often than not, it's hot, and most of the time the city is bustling and lively, except during the rainy season, when the river swells and causes the city to become waterlogged.

Briganga River ...... No, according to Wu Zhou, it should be the "Pingman River", just as the Ganges River is called the "New River", Bengal under Wu Zhou's rule is not only retreating from the old green in the government, but even the place names are changing.

Fuyi returns to summer.

The most common thing in Nanyang countries is to change the place name to a name with Chinese characteristics, of course, this is only a part of "Fuyi returns to Xia", after the Nanyang Zhuxia took the country, various countries have been implementing the "Fuhua policy" in different ways, such as prohibiting the use of local languages, learning Confucianism, etc., through many forms to achieve the purpose of "Fuyi returning to Xia". After occupying Bengal, in the face of more than 10 million Bengalis and a population of only 1 percent, Wu Zhou, in order to further accelerate the naturalization of the native people, one of the measures was to ask the native people to change their names to the same as the Han Chinese. That is, Nanyang's "Chuangshi renamed". The so-called creation of a "clan" is to give a "clan", and to change the name is to change the name other than the surname.

However, in Nanyang, "changing the name" is an honor, and only the ethnic groups that have been rewarded by the monarch can change their surnames to Han surnames. But in Wu Zhou, everyone can change their Chinese name at will, and they can get a certain reward - a lower poll tax. This also makes the surnames of Han Chinese in Bangladesh more and more, but even so, they can be distinguished from their names.

Just as the Karnatak in the Brahmins of Bengal often changed their surname to "Ka", Tairangasi changed their surname to "Tai", and Maharashraka changed their surname to "Ma", of course, there are also some surnames given by the lord of Wu Zhou, such as those lowly non-Ashraf who are given the surname "Shakti", and these lowly non-Ashraf are given the surname "Shakti", precisely because of the "equality of all beings" of Shakyamuni. And that's why Buddhism is so popular in Bangladesh now – equality. Unlike the apparent equality of the Green Religion, Buddhism is "all beings are equal".

Four years ago, as a prince, Wu Yingqi led 600,000 untouchables (non-Ashraf) to convert and convert to the Three Jewels at the same time. Those untouchables are not highly educated. The logic is very simple, they believe in Hinduism and treat you as a god, but you don't treat us as human beings. Then, we convert to the religion of equality.

Sometimes, the revival of religion is simple, even if Hinduism has long since misinterpreted Shakyamuni Buddha as one of the nine incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Buddhism, therefore, is at most a kind of vassal of Hinduism. But at least in Bangladesh, thanks to the efforts of thousands of monks from the Ming Dynasty and the South Seas, Buddhism is returning to its roots.

Everywhere Han style, everywhere temples.

This is the characteristic of Suide. The sound of Buddhist scriptures can be heard everywhere, even on Van De Street in Suide City, where many Han Chinese nobles live. In fact, even under the surface of Buddhism's "equality of life", the Han generals and soldiers who entered Tianzhu with Wu Sangui were also integrated into the Bengali Yin surname racial system without any guilt, and of course their position was equivalent to that of Brahmin.

Although they did not build a "Seoul" in Suide and other areas for the sake of equality, the division of neighborhoods still separated the Han Chinese from the natives. Overall, however, the non-Ashraf were still grateful to Wu Zhou – the introduction of a system similar to the imperial examination system provided a channel for non-Ashraf to rise, and whether they were Brahmins or Untouchables, they were basically on the same page when it came to learning Chinese and Confucianism. Moreover, the presiding exams were often Han people who believed in "meritocracy", which also made some untouchables realize a change in their fate and become low-level officials such as patrolmen and tax collectors of Wu Zhou.

On Vander Street, a dark-skinned patrolman is on patrol, although he holds his head high, but when he sees a "master" passing by, he will still bow humbly, and occasionally, when a certain old man nods to him, he will look very excited.

"It's definitely a non-Achraf."

Feeling the excitement of the patrol, and noticing the yellow lines on his sleeves that symbolize Buddhism, the young man muttered to himself.

In the eyes of all the natives, the Han people were noble - their skin was as dazzling as gold. Therefore, whenever there is a "master" who shows them kindness, it will always be exchanged for their excitement.

Of course, young people know that the premise of this agitation is that violence, and that they would not be tamed now without the blood that stained the rivers here a few years ago when they entered the delta.

Buddhism is just a turnip, and the stick is a knife and gun in the hands of the Han people.

Just as the young man was thinking this, a native newsboy was holding a large stack of newspapers and selling them along the street.

"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, the latest report of "Buddha Yin", yesterday 100,000 people took refuge in the Three Jewels......"

"Sir, do you want a newspaper?"

When the native newsboy saw the young man, he immediately greeted him and said in a stiff voice.

"This is big news, it's the conversion ceremony presided over by the second prince for them!"

Clearly, the young man had no interest.

Just a few steps after the newsboy left, a native man dressed as a student stopped the newsboy and asked in a stiff Chinese.

"Today's Buddha's Voice?"

"Yes, sir, I just took it out of the newspaper room, I don't believe you."

The newsboy clicked on the date below the mastheadβ€”July 23, 17th year of Xingqian. In Wu Zhou, the Ming Dynasty's "Emperor Ming Great Unification Calendar" was also used. Wu Sangui may call himself the king of Zhou, but he does not dare to establish his own era name, and the Nanyang Zhuxia is also the same, and every year the Nanyang Zhuxia and Siam, Sulu and other countries pay tribute, and the items awarded by the imperial court must contain the "Great Unification Calendar", which has the meaning of the vassal state to serve China Zhengshuo. A custom calendar, on the other hand, often means "rebellion". Wu Sangui was naturally not so bold.

"Bring me one."

That Han-style student shirt, but it is a native appearance of a scholar handed to the newsboy two copper coins, the copper coin in addition to a Xingqian Tongbao, there is also a Da Zhou Tongbao, a typical square hole money, now this Chinese style of square hole money and the Ming Dynasty silver dollar coupons, is the Nanyang area of hard currency, and the silver dollar is equivalent.

Taking the newspaper, the man read it and walked in the direction of Van de Street. Along the way, he walked and watched, as if he was no different from ordinary students, in Suide, such native members often acted as low-level officials in the future, and of course some of them would also become high-ranking officials, although the chances were very slim.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What a bunch of damn guys. ”

The student looked at the newspaper and complained, and while complaining, his eyes looked to the opposite side, and the building opposite was the Shizifu. There are several guards standing outside the Shizi's mansion, the appearance of those guards is similar to the Han people, but they are a little different, those people are Assamese people, they were conquered by the Wu Zhou Han people more than ten years ago, there are more than 100,000 Assamese people serving in the Wu Zhou army, for their crusade to the east and west, they have long been sinicized. Many of the young Assamese speaks fluent Chinese.

"Yunus, how are you...... This dress? ”

Suddenly, a native saw this student on the side of the road and said in some surprise.

"You're converted?"

The man lowered his voice.

"Reading the newspaper? Mirza. ”

As Yunus spoke, his eyes looked north, staring at the Prince's Mansion.

"I'm not like you, I'm not old enough to read a Chinese newspaper without looking at a dictionary."

Yunus said helplessly.

"You can do it too, as long as you study hard."

"Not everyone is as smart as you, and besides, now the Chinese schools are all in pagan Buddhist monasteries, and if you want to enroll, you have to convert to proselytism, unlike you, who have learned to speak Chinese a few years ago, maybe you should run a Chinese school."

Yunus's tone was full of anticipation, Mizar had already spoken Chinese long before the Zhou army occupied Bengal.

"Maybe, let's talk about it when we have a chance in the future!"

Seeing that the door of the prince's mansion was opened, Mizar said a word to Yunus, and then walked towards the opposite side.

"Mizar ......"

Seeing Mizar leave like this, Yunus looked a little puzzled, and when he saw the Shizi Mansion opposite, he immediately said angrily.

"This traitor!"

This traitor must have believed in heresy!

There are many people who have become traitors for the sake of glory and wealth, and obviously, Mizar is also such a person! No wonder he was wearing a Han shirt, no wonder he looked at the Chinese newspaper, he had long since betrayed his faith.

When he walked out of the mansion, Wu Yingxiong habitually looked left and right, and when he saw a native dressed as a student walking towards him, he squeezed out a smile.

Just as he was squeezing out a smile, his eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, and he saw the man pull a short hammer from the newspaper.

"Bang, bang......"

When the sound of the gun came into his ears, Wu Yingxiong, who seemed to have been violently hit by a hammer in his chest, seemed to hear the roar of the man in his ears when he fell to the ground.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ ...... Hookbar"

In the sound of the guns, Mizar's roar echoed through the streets, and he released four guns in succession with the wheel gun in his hand, only to be knocked to the ground with a short gun by the guards who reacted, and even when he fell to the ground, his eyes were full of fanaticism.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Pull...... Wildly...... Pander to...... Keba......"

When the sound of the gun sounded, the whole Vander Street was stunned, and the people all looked at the native in amazement, watching the native knock the son to the ground with a wheel.

Until the native was killed by the guards, until a group of guards swarmed out of the Shizi Mansion, people's minds were still full of questions.

What's going on?

Half an hour later, the news of Shizi's murder reached the palace, and when he learned that Shizi had died, Wu Sangui's eyes widened and he muttered.

"This, how is this possible? How, how could this be? ”

"Your Majesty, the assassin was stabbing with a wheel in his hand, a few feet away, and the attendants of the guards did not think of it......"

"Did the Ming Dynasty do it?"

Wu Sangui opened his eyes wide and roared.

Wheel-turner!

That is the Ming Dynasty's unique weapon, Gu said that ten years ago when the Western Expedition a Ming cavalry invented, and the ordinary double-barreled firecracker can only play two guns, it can hit six guns in a row, but the wheel gun needs a fire cap, and the fire cap is a military weapon, forbidden to sell to the people, so the wheel gun is often only the Ming army has.

It was done by the Ming Dynasty!

But why did the Ming Dynasty assassinate Wu Yingxiong?

In this regard, Wu Sangui couldn't figure it out, he just instinctively thought of this enemy, who else could there be besides the Ming Dynasty?

"Not necessarily, after all, although the runner is a militaristic weapon, but on the Ming ship, there are always crew members who get it through various channels, and on the dock in Suide, as long as you spend 100 taels, you can buy a runner."

Because the runner can release six guns in a row, all sailors want to get this kind of weapon, after all, when sailing on the sea, if there are more than a dozen runners, even if they encounter a group of pirates, they can rely on their powerful firepower to severely damage the pirates in the broadside battle and save their lives.

"Moreover, the murderer seems to be a Celestial Cultist, and when he was assassinated, he once shouted......"

Xie Sixin's words made Wu Sangui fall into silence, since they entered Bengal, the Heavenly Fang Sect has not rebelled once or twice, and it is not the first time that an official has been assassinated, but this time it was his son who died. A fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he said fiercely.

"Do they really think that the king's sword is not good, and they dare not kill? Spread the decree and raze all the Tianfang Temples to the ground, and there are ......"

Wu Sangui finally said sharply.

"This time, I have to let those bastards know what the wrath of the Son of Heaven is......"

The wrath of the Son of Heaven, millions of floating corpses, bleeding thousands of miles.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the Delhi side will definitely take action, after all, ......"

"How dare he? Do you think that I dare not fight with 200,000 armor in the Great Zhou? If he dares to come, he will go to Delhi in person! Dominate Tianzhu! ”

When it comes to "unifying Tianzhu", Wu Sangui's tone became a little excited, perhaps, he is afraid of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, but it does not mean that he does not have his own ideals, for Wu Sangui, he has also fantasized more than once, one day "unify Tianzhu", like the Mongol Timur's descendant Babur created the Mughal Dynasty, and created the "Great Zhou Dynasty" belonging to the Wu family.

For this, Xie Sixin just obeyed the order for a long time, and now that the son of the world is dead, someone must pay for the death of the son, and besides, this is also the original plan.

Borrowing the hands of some people to achieve some goals, whether it is Mizar or Wu Sangui, but they are just a chess piece, nothing more.

There is no doubt that, as originally planned, Mizar was the murderer, and the reason for the assassination could not be simpler, it was to be dissatisfied with Wu Zhou's rule.

Columns of smoke rose in the neighborhood near the port, filled with rampaging soldiers, crying civilians everywhere, and the sound of artillery echoed in the neighborhood, where glorious buildings were razed to the ground and those who resisted were killed......

The merchant on the ship in the harbor looked at the city in chaos, and just said silently.

"Wu Sangui is no longer a problem......"
