In fact, for the Ming Dynasty in the fifth year of the Xingqian, no matter what happened in Hindustan was a trivial matter worth mentioning, not only because of the "ignorance" of the Chinese people about "Hindustan", but because it was too far away from the Ming Dynasty, except for knowing the place where Tang Seng learned the scriptures, I am afraid that there would be no other interest in it.

Even for Zhu Mingzhong himself, what happened in "Hindustani" was at most an episode in the affairs of the empire, an episode not worth mentioning.

“…… How Wu Sangui stirs up trouble in India, as far as the current stage is concerned, is in favor of the Ming Dynasty, and what we need is a chaotic India, not a unified India. ”

A united India is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty!

"Not only because India is a big country adjacent to the Ming Dynasty, and a unified India may pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty, but more importantly, a divided India is bound to be beneficial to our strategy in India."

There are of course many reasons why the Indian Company established by the British can rule the whole of India in another time and space, but the most important thing is, of course, that India was too scattered at that time, power was not centralized, and each small divided country had its own evil intentions, so that the British had a chance.

"A divided India will inevitably have many countries, all of which will have their own internal contradictions, either vying for the throne or power, which will provide us with a lot of opportunities for future strategies in India. Needless to say, these Indian princes are certainly not united, and they will inevitably think of using our strength to consolidate their own strength during internal fighting, so that we can push the boat along the river and achieve our own goals in the name of helping them, and in the process, we can further divide India, and then slowly clean them up. ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Gu Yanwu just slapped a fart casually, for him, as the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, India is too far away, no matter what happens there, Yu Daming will not have any influence.

Of course, what is more important is self-confidence, he believes that if there is wind and grass there, the Ming fleet and the Pingnan army, with the Han army as the official and the native soldiers as the main soldiers, can crusade against India at any time, and the Ming does not even need to pay military expenses, and can maintain the war expenses by virtue of the capture and reward after the crusade.

Compared with India, Nanyang is undoubtedly more important, after all, Nanyang is directly related to the future of the Ming Dynasty's clan division, as long as the clan is continuous, then the clan is not only impossible to become a burden to the Ming, but also will solve a lot of problems for the Ming. Thinking of Nanyang, Gu Yanwu naturally thought of the telegram he had just received.

"Your Majesty, last month, the Qin State hoped to be able to hire another 5,000 Pingnan troops from Pingnan to be used to defend against Matalan's attack, and now their relationship with Mataran is extremely tense, so the cabinet has agreed to King Qin's request."

When mentioning this matter, Gu Yanwu deliberately glanced at His Majesty, although he indicated that the Ming Dynasty would not send officials or interfere in its national affairs, it did not mean that the surviving Ming would ignore it, after all, those lords were all Ming clans.

"Pingnan Military ......"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Mingzhong nodded slightly, and then said.

"When the Pingnan Army was conquered in Burma, it was forced to create it for the sake of the southwest war situation, with Nanyi as soldiers and Han soldiers as officials, although they later said that most of them were naturalized as Han, but Burma was ......"

After a slight pause, Zhu Mingzhong's brows locked slightly.

"Whether the future of Myanmar is divided or set up provinces, it is between the two, with the Pingnan army drawing its Ding Zhuang as soldiers, and then transferring Zhuxia for use, although it is a strategy formulated by the imperial court, it is also a condition for the naturalization of Pingnan soldiers, but to control the proportion, if I remember correctly, at the end of last year, Qin State had already hired 4,000 Pingnan soldiers, plus these 2,000, but it is 6,000 people, how many Han soldiers are in Qin? However, there are only 12,000 people, this ratio is dangerous, maybe they already belong to Huaxia, but what is the use of just Han names and surnames? In their bones, they are still barbarians, don't forget the Hou Jing Rebellion! ”

Mentioning the "Hou Jing Rebellion", Zhu Mingzhong's eyebrows raised slightly.

Hou Jingben was a rebel general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, who was taken in by Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, and because he was dissatisfied with the good relations between the Liang Dynasty and the Eastern Wei Dynasty, he rebelled in Shouyang in the name of the Qing monarch, and later captured Jiankang and starved Emperor Wu of Liang to death, thus controlling the military and political power of the Liang Dynasty. It seems that there seems to be an antecedent, but it can be seen that Hou Jing's rebellion is actually because he is a man, forming a beast, with different intentions, and does not know where the kindness and righteousness go. The Hou Jing Rebellion brought unimaginable disasters to the Sanwu region, the people were displaced, and the misery was unspeakable, and the civilization of our Han people was almost slaughtered by it and became a swan song......

After saying this in an unquestionable tone, Zhu Mingzhong's brows frowned slightly, and then he sighed.

"It is our ambition to make the barbarians belong to China, and it is also the responsibility of our Huaxia, but no matter what, we must not forget our roots, this is not a matter of enlightening the barbarians overnight, what always needs a process, as for the Pingnan Army......"

The Pingnan Army is an alternative existence in the Ming Dynasty, when the Tusi native soldiers were recruited as soldiers, in order to contain the Qing Army in the southwest, but after the Xingqian, how to place the Pingnan Army became a problem, on the one hand, they were not Han, and on the other hand, they had served in the army. If they are allowed to return to the toast, it will be equivalent to increasing the strength of the toasts.

Therefore, how to settle the 100,000 Ping Southern Army has always been a headache for the imperial court.

Although the later retired resettlement was passed, the Pingnan Army was placed in various parts of Pingnan Mansion, and it seems that they were the basis for the Ming Dynasty to rule Pingnan Mansion, but the native soldiers are always native soldiers, and the native people are always native people. Although they can speak in stiff Chinese, in an environment where there are many landowners, they are still natives in the end, and at most they become "familiar fans".

It was not until after the implementation of the feudal that the barbarians of the feudal countries were deficient, and in the case of insufficient troops, the Pingnan Army, which had become a barbarian in the Han Dynasty, became a utensil in the hands of the imperial court.

The Pingnan army accepts the employment of various countries, goes to various countries as soldiers, and in the process of suppressing the barbarians, they charge ahead, and they can be regarded as making great contributions to the foothold of the countries, and more importantly, after these Pingnan troops left Burma, they were in a new environment, leaving the familiar local environment, and those local soldiers in different places could only get close to the Han people as rulers through continuous sinicization, and not like in Pingnan, speaking the local language from the local customs.

On the one hand, the number of Pingnan natives decreased, and on the other hand, the "half-Han" of various countries increased. In the eyes of the imperial court, it is for the Ming Dynasty and the countries to take their own benefits, but this kind of large-scale conscription of native soldiers, in Zhu Mingzong's view, is also an unstable factor for the countries.

Although it was Zhu Mingzhong's "initiative" to emulate the British to establish a "colonial corps", in another time and space, the British once ruled Southeast Asia through the Indian colonial corps, but now the "Pingnan Army", a colonial corps, needs to be sinicized and become a part of Zhuxia. Rather than just ruling with them, the different purposes naturally lead to different ways of treatment.

The British, who ruled Southeast Asia with the help of Indian soldiers of the Anglo-Indian Legion, did not need to consider the Anglo-Indian ratio, because for them, the Indian soldiers were just a tool they used to suppress the natives of Southeast Asia, but what Nanyang Zhuxia needed was to assimilate the Pingnan Army into "Han soldiers", and eventually, their descendants would be assimilated into "Han people".

"Assimilation! For the Pingnan army, our aim is to assimilate, to assimilate them into Han soldiers, and then into "Han Chinese", if the proportion is too much, then who assimilates whom? Therefore, this ratio must be well controlled, and it is necessary to ensure that within three generations, there can be no native squadron leader and squad leader, which is their highest military rank, no matter what reason and excuse they use, this principle must be adhered to. ”

Then Zhu Mingzhong glanced at Gu Yanwu and said solemnly.

"Well, this point can be sent in the past with my words, and also, the attitude of the imperial court towards the countries should also be changed, we must try to avoid meddling in the affairs of the countries, after all, the reason why the countries are the countries, not the provinces, is because of the independence of their national affairs, if the imperial court interferes too much, it will not only lead to the disgust of the countries, but also lead to the future officials who cannot distinguish the relationship between the two, and regard themselves as the mother country everywhere, pointing fingers at their national affairs, then in the future, rupture and even conflict are inevitable."

Distinguish the relationship between the two, as the emperor, Zhu Mingzhong can distinguish the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Zhuxia, but many officials in the court can't tell the relationship between the two for a while, especially when they still have something to ask for and have plans for the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that Qin's "request for help" and the consent of the imperial court are a dangerous signal in Zhu Mingzhong's view.

"Your Majesty, the "Pingnan Army" belongs to the imperial court, and if the imperial court does not agree to recruit them, all countries cannot go to the Tusi to recruit native soldiers on their own. ”

Gu Yanwu directly said his excuse, of course, unlike His Majesty, in his opinion, the division is of course the separation, but after the separation, it does not mean ignoring it.

Limited intervention can make the connection between the Ming Dynasty and other countries closer.

"Not impossible."

Zhu Mingzhong said with a smile.

"Just as they can go to the interior to recruit immigrants, they can also go to Pingnan to recruit soldiers, mercenaries, not necessarily, they have to go through the imperial court, and this can also reduce the dissatisfaction of the Tusi with the imperial court, after all, the people who levy them are their people, and in the end, they will not return to the Tusi. Rather than let the imperial court come forward, it is better for the countries to lure the Tusi and make them willing to give their people as soldiers. In this way, if one is willing to suffer and the other is willing to fight, wouldn't it be more beneficial to me? ”

As soon as His Majesty explained this, Gu Yanwu thought for a while, then nodded and said.

"This is indeed more advantageous than the direct requisition of the imperial court, so if this is the case of the Qin State, how to deal with the matter of mercenaries?"
