Chapter 16 Love the World
Let Bairy Missoula imagine it ten thousand times, and he can't think of it. His Royal Highness, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, came to Malaka to take Malaga's good language as the beginning of a great change.
He thought that His Royal Highness the Grand Sun was young and vigorous, so that his family must be respectful in front of him.
He also thought that His Royal Highness the Grand Sun was humble and courteous to him, an old prince.
He even thought that His Royal Highness the Grand Sun was domineering, so that the people of the whole country must be tolerant in every way.
This His Royal Highness's "great achievements" have long been caught in Yingtianfu with the royal family of Dongying, and it has spread throughout the entire Nanyang region.
He inquired about His Highness's personality, experience, interests, and hobbies, and also found many young beautiful girls from various countries, just to please His Highness.
But he would never have thought that this highness was not only fond of martial arts, but his first fire in Nanyang was to dig the foundation of the entire Nanyang.
From now on, you must not learn his Chinese language, you must not write other languages, but you must turn the whole of Nanyang into a real Daming!
In addition to the natives, the Arabs from West Asia are the people in the South Seas. Starting from the Tang Dynasty, they began to migrate to various islands in the South Sea, and it has been 500 years since then.
In the past 500 years, there were still some small countries that studied Sanskrit and believed in Buddhism, but all of them were wiped out by Green Christians and Hindus.
Since the destruction of the Three Buddhas by Majapahit, most of the South Seas are now dominated by the Green Religion, and only a few small countries that still believe in Hinduism are struggling to survive.
But this grandson of the Ming Emperor first wanted to dig the foundation of various countries.
Zhu Zhanji lightly supported Bairi Missoula with one hand, still showing a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. In Bairi Missoula's eyes, it was a demonic smile.
"Why does the prince need to be like this, why can't he do it?"
Bairi Missoula took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "The countries of the South Seas are all descendants of great cannibals, mainly natives, and most of them believe in green religion and Hinduism......"
Zhu Zhanji said calmly: "Lone will not interfere with your faith, this is very reassuring. ”
Of course, Zhu Zhanji knows that religious belief is a powder keg in later generations, let alone in the current era.
This problem cannot be solved by killing people. Wanting to do something in this regard will only unite people with the same beliefs and resolutely oppose the Ming Dynasty.
Bairi Missoula would like to directly retort that if everyone is cut off from learning, what is the use of this religious belief being the same? People can't even read the scriptures, so who will believe them?
But he didn't know if he would offend Zhu Zhanji if he said this, so his mind was spinning quickly, thinking of countermeasures.
Daniel Zhang, who was following Long Yuan, said at this time: "Your Highness, you have arrived at the place where you are staying. ”
Although Malaka is the most important port and material transshipment place of the Ming Dynasty in the south, the area is not very large. From the port to the place where Zhu Zhanji was staying, it was less than two miles.
Zhu Zhanji was the first to stand up and stretched out his hand to Bairimisu. "The prince doesn't have to worry too much, my Ming writing, literature, is the world's first-class knowledge, in this world, there is no country can compare. In the future, the people of your country will learn to become Confucian, even if they come to my Ming Dynasty as officials, it is okay. We'll talk about that later. Please ......"
Baili Misura knew that this was nonsense, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he couldn't say that the knowledge system of the Ming Dynasty was not good!
He was as depressed as if he had eaten a ball of, and at this time he could only stretch out his hand, hold Zhu Zhanji's arm and stand up, and not mention this topic for the time being.
However, he was still planning in his heart, how to persuade Zhu Zhanji to give up this "bad idea".
He was also not sure whether Zhu Zhanji had come by accident or had come prepared.
He sighed in his heart, no matter what it was, this day was going to be sad......
Because of the anxiety in his heart, he didn't even eat this meal. Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was still calm and light-hearted, he could only suppress the worries in his heart to flatter the other party.
He didn't notice that there were quite a few chamberlains in the banquet hall who were keeping a close eye on him, and that the slightest movement of his did not escape the eyes of these trained counselors.
Although Daming does not have a psychology course now, for the spy agencies such as the General Administration Department, Jinyiwei, and the Advisory Intelligence Department, or the investigation agencies, any reaction can also be analyzed to a rough outline.
It is not easy for the people of Jinyi to show up here, but no one cares about the chamberlains of the Consultation Division, and in the eyes of these Nanyang people, they think that all the chamberlains are waiting for Zhu Zhanji.
Sun Lin sat behind Zhu Zhanji and Bairi Missoula, and the hall was full of cups, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with him, and his rigid face had no expression from beginning to end.
There are still many people like him, and these are Zhu Zhanji's guards, so Sun Lin is not noticeable at all.
And his eyes almost always fell on Bairi Missoula, just because Bairi Missoula and Zhu Zhanji were at the same angle, so even Bairi Missoula didn't think that this chamberlain was staring at him.
At the same time, the Jinyi Guard, the General Administration and the Counselor Division, led by local soldiers, rode through the entire inner city, including the villages near the port of Malaga.
Since he wants to use Malaka as a knife, Zhu Zhanji will certainly not fight an uncertain battle. At least the population composition and ethnic beliefs of each village must all be investigated clearly, so that the knife can be accurately moved.
He didn't want to make a fuss because of this matter, which would have an important impact on the Ming Dynasty, who was actively preparing for the westward expedition.
What's more, Zhu Di, a war maniac, is preparing to attack Timur, and if he complains about the various supply countries along the way, it will reduce his status in Zhu Di's heart.
Therefore, in the past two years, he will only promote Confucianism in the two areas of Malaka and Old Port. The old port is now ruled by the Chinese, and it is natural to promote Confucianism.
And Malaka completely relied on the Ming Dynasty to develop, just enjoy the benefits brought by the Ming Dynasty, but don't want to pay at all, how is it possible?
In addition to promoting Chinese and Chinese characters, Zhu Zhanji also has a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, that is, to build Singapore.
Although Malaja's location is important, it is actually not good compared to Singapore.
Today, Singapore has experienced a massacre, and it has become a ghost land. The power of Malaka had not yet developed there, and Siam, which had the greatest local power, did not pay attention to this most remote place at all.
It is the gateway to the Strait of Malacca and the southernmost point of the Asian continent. What's more, Singapore is the center of Southeast Asia, and there is no need to detour to the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
Malaga's current development completely depends on the Ming Dynasty to set up a storage base here and transfer materials here, so it will develop here.
As long as Bairi Missula dared to oppose this plan, the Ming would withdraw from Malaga. And will unite with Siam, give Malaka a good lesson, educate them.
According to the long-term plan, even if Malaka is fully sinicized, the main fleet base of the Ming Dynasty will still be located in Singapore.
It's just that when the time comes, Daming will take them with him for the sake of the sparse population.
And by this time, the fleet of the Right Route Army had also arrived in Singapore to join the main fleet. In accordance with Zhu Zhanji's orders, they only dispatched a part of the cargo ships to Malaga, and most of the fleet was stationed in Singapore, waiting for Zhu Zhanji and his return.
Zheng He and Zhu Zhen were already on two flagships, leading a part of the warships, and anxiously sailed towards Malaga.
However, it is located at the equator, the wind is pitiful, and the speed of the fleet is very slow. At this rate, they would have arrived in Malaka a day later than planned.
The weather was very hot, Zheng He sat on the top deck, the wide sails blocking the setting sun, allowing him to feel a little cool in the shadows.
Beside him, there is also the head of the mosque in Yangshi Street, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, Ha San, the commander Wang Heng, Lin Zixuan, the young eunuch Hu Jun, and the people of Ha Tong.
Their trip was relatively close, and the original plan was to prepare for the arrival of the grandson before he arrived in Malaga.
But now, they are lagging behind the grandson, so everyone seems a little impatient.
Especially Ha San, he went to the West with Zheng He last time, and made a special trip to the holy city to worship. This time, he heard that Taisun would go to the West in person, so he took the initiative to ask to come, wanting to get close to Taisun Lala.
But he never thought that he would have no chance to board the flagship of Taisun. Originally, I wanted to wait for the lonely days after going to sea, and I would find some opportunities to get along, but I parted ways with my grandson!
Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Han people, foreign races such as the Great Cannibals can no longer enjoy the preferential treatment of the Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly discriminatory against merchants, while the big cannibals were more dependent on trade for a living, so they were suppressed the most severely.
In the past few decades, countless cannibals have withdrawn from the Central Plains and returned to the Western Regions, but there are also many who have become accustomed to life in Daming and dare not venture to leave.
As a religious member, Ha San has not been suppressed too much, but he has always wanted to work hard to improve the status of his people in the Ming Dynasty.
The three emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not very friendly to merchants, but only this grandson has been preaching trade to rejuvenate the country.
More than just trade, this grandson also vigorously improved industry, accelerating the rise of manufacturing in the Ming Dynasty.
When he returned from the West and saw the waterwheel forest in the northwest of Yingtianfu, he was completely shocked.
He has traveled to many countries, but none of them have formed such large-scale industrial zones in just a few years as the Ming Dynasty.
Especially when he heard that a waterwheel can drive dozens of spinning wheels, can drive thousands of catties of die-casting machines, and can also produce muskets, he feels as if he has fallen behind.
He had never seen such a magical machine, let alone imagined that such a machine would appear.
It's a pity that it's heavily guarded, and outsiders can't approach it at all, especially for aliens, and there are very strict management measures.
He looked for a lot of connections, but no one could take him in, and he couldn't see with his own eyes how that magical machine worked.
But it can also be seen from this incident that His Royal Highness does not despise merchants, and the spring of their great cannibalism seems to have come.
Therefore, he wanted to get closer to Zhu Zhanji, hoping to gain his favor, learn these advanced techniques, and teach their people.
However, Taisun has engaged in a patent law, and it seems that it costs money to learn these technologies.
But it doesn't matter, among them, there are still a lot of rich people, and there are no fewer people who are willing to spend money to learn these skills.
There will be people who are willing to spend money to learn these new technologies.
Except for Ha San, most of the others are officials at all levels, and everyone wants to get closer to Taisun no matter what the purpose is.
And Zheng He was a little alienated from him because Zhu Zhanji was a little estranged, so he also wanted to make up for the relationship between the two, so he had a lot of common language with them and could talk together.
"Your Excellency, do you want to rebuild Temasek now that Your Highness has a large army stationed in the small village of Temasek instead of going to Malaka?"
Since Zhu Zhanji gave Zheng He the post of director of the navy, this director has become a special title for everyone to call Zheng He.
He was originally one of the seven eunuchs of the palace, and was once named the chief officer of the fleet by Zhu Di. But neither the eunuch nor the chief officer shouted louder than the name of the director.
The superintendent, the chief eunuch, is literally equivalent to the chief eunuch, not the original superintendent.
This name immediately highlighted Zheng He's identity a lot, so now most people call Zheng He with the title of director.
Zheng He shook his head and said, "I don't know what His Highness really thinks, but the fleet is too big for thousands of ships to dock at Malaga, and it is necessary to set up a new docking point in Temasek." Temasek has a natural deep-water port, which provides easy access to the Old Port and saves the need for fleets to travel back and forth. ”
The supervisor Hatong clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, the lower officials have participated in the construction and management of the port of Malaga. If His Highness intends to build Temasek Port, I hope that His Excellency will say a few kind words, and His Highness will live up to his trust. ”
Zheng He nodded, but sighed again and said, "His Highness has the world in his heart, and even I can't guess what he thinks. If I have the opportunity, I will recommend it to His Highness. ”
Ha San smiled and asked, "Your Excellency, will Your Highness go to the Holy City to worship on this trip to the West?" ”
Young eunuch Hu Jun looked down on Ha San, a god stick, and sneered when he heard this: "My grandson of the Ming Dynasty is the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, and the Tianhuang noble. You eat a religion that was only established during the Tang Dynasty, and the so-called gods are only 600 years old, and you still want my Ming grandson to worship, isn't it wishful thinking? ”
The relationship between Hartung and Hu Jun is particularly good, the two have been friends for many years, and they smiled bitterly when they heard this: "Young Eunuch Hu, be cautious." I have said many times that you can disobey our religion, but please don't insult our faith. ”
Hu Jun asked rhetorically: "Why am I insulting?" You are all important ministers of the imperial court, but you have a close relationship with an imam. How can he be worthy of my respect? Lord Governor, Ha Jian Chen, I know that the two of you are of the same clan as Ha San, but you must not mislead state affairs because of personal friendship! ”
Ha San's face was a little embarrassed, but he was just a temple bishop, and there was nothing he could do about Hu Jun, the young eunuch of the inner prison.
When Zheng He heard their quarrel, his heart suddenly moved. His Royal Highness used to trust me and praise me a lot, but since the incident of Pu Rihe, he has turned cold, is it because I have too close a relationship with the Great Cannibal that it has triggered his taboo?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was for this reason that as the director of the navy and an important minister of the imperial court, he seemed to have too close contacts with people outside the imperial court.
Although he thought that this was for the convenience of going to the West, because these people had various relationships in the West, and they did not mix too many personal feelings.
But in the eyes of others, he has some right and wrong, and he can't distinguish between the important and the serious.
As his subordinate, Hu Jun had no scruples at this time, and directly scolded Ha San in front of him, which was obviously unbearable.
He suddenly felt a biting cold, and his path seemed to be on the wrong path.
Ha San originally wanted to wait for Zheng He to help him turn around, but at this time, he saw Zheng He wandering out of the world and didn't seem to hear their quarrel.
His face was a little unbearable, he stood up, bowed slightly to everyone, and said, "The prayer time is almost up, please forgive me for temporarily retreating." ”
Zheng He came back to his senses at this time, clasped his fists and said: "Imam, don't be annoyed, but I just thought that His Highness once mentioned that I had established a Moorish country in the West, so I was ......distracted for a while."
Although Hasan was well-informed, he had never heard of the name Moorish country. He couldn't care about his anger for a moment, and asked, "Where is this Moorish country?" ”
The Ming Dynasty's globe and detailed maps are the biggest secrets, and they are not allowed to be viewed by outsiders, and even some of the maps that are being distributed now are mostly regional maps.
It was difficult for Zheng He to directly point out the location of the Moore Kingdom with Ha San, so he could only say: "It is said that it is five thousand miles west of the Heavenly Realm, and it is necessary to pass through the Mamluk Kingdom that we know, or to reach it from the sea." ”
Everyone else was also very interested, because the Ming Dynasty had only reached as far as West Asia and East Africa, and knew very little about other regions.
Hasan asked, "This Moorish kingdom was also established by my people?" ”
Zheng He nodded and said, "It is rumored that thousands of miles west of Heaven are occupied by our people. ”
Ha San asked again: "Then what is the intention of the director to mention this place at this time?" ”
Zheng He said with a smile: "In the heyday of our race, the territory of the east and west of Sulu and the Moore country reached more than 20,000 li. But for hundreds of years, there has never been a unified regime. What is the reason for this? ”
Ha Sanleng paused for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "It's because our clan established the country with business, and there are endless internal strife. ”
Zheng He said: "Using history as a mirror, you can know right from wrong." Our people are denomination-based and business-oriented, and this path seems to be the wrong one. On the contrary, the Central Plains was based on Confucianism and agriculture, which formed a unified regime, and even though the dynasties have changed for thousands of years, the people have the desire for great unification. ”
Ha San was even more confused, and asked, "What does the director want to warn me about?" ”
Zheng He clenched his fists and said: "He thinks that His Royal Highness has the world in his heart and is an immortal monarch." Looking at what His Royal Highness has done, Confucianism is the foundation, and arithmetic is used; Agriculture-oriented, commercial use; Based on the holy way, the royal way is used. This is the state of mind of a generation of emperors ruling the world, and the imam thinks of the people and admires them. But the imam's vision is still narrower than that of His Royal Highness. I also hope that even if the imam is destined to have a discussion with His Highness, please don't rush for quick success and go against His Highness. ”
Zheng He was very clear about Ha San's intentions, and he also thought that Ha San was right to do so.
But although Zhu Zhanji did not show contempt for the alien race, he annoyed Zheng He because he was too close to them. Therefore, Zheng He also deliberately praised Zhu Zhanji in front of everyone at this time, and at the same time persuaded Ha San not to be blind and insist on going his own way.
He knew very well that what he said to them would definitely reach Zhu Zhanji's ears. He praised Zhu Zhanji, persuaded Ha San, and also showed his attitude, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
Regardless of whether Ha San listens to it or not, his attitude has already been expressed, and he is not afraid that Zhu Zhanji will be annoyed with him because of Ha San.
When Ha San heard Zheng He's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lord Director is too worried. Although Hasan was born in Baghdad, he grew up in the Ming Dynasty and regarded himself as a Ming person. Even if the contemptible people want to do more for the clansmen, it will not harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty. ”
It's not that they won't, but they don't dare at all.
The attitude of the Ming royal family towards religion has always been vigorously suppressed, and just the liquidation of the gold and silver and fields found by Buddhism allowed the Ming Dynasty to pass the initial difficult stage. Buddhism has now declined, but Taoism and Green Religion do not dare to expand in a big way, and only dare to develop within the scope of the royal circle.
Although Taoism is now the state religion of the Ming Dynasty, what power does Taoism have? No!
The face raised by the royal family, which is not Taoist, has no actual power at all.
As a foreign religion, the Green Religion did not dare to run rampant.
After listening to Ha San's answer, Zheng He knew that he didn't fully understand his words. What he wants to express more is his support for the unification of the world by the Ming Dynasty, and taking religious belief as the foundation of the country, which has been proven to have no future.
However, since Ha San didn't understand, he didn't want to explain anymore.
He knew that Taisun must be able to understand. As long as he can understand, his purpose has been achieved.
Think about what a feat it would be if the Ming Dynasty could unify the world!
And if he firmly follows His Highness, he will be famous for eternity.
But Zheng He was negligent in one point, that is, he was a pacifist, and his hope to use the Ming system to benefit the world was just wishful thinking.
No one would be willing to give up the power in their hands. And Zhu Zhanji is not like him, he loves all races in the world.
This collision of ideas, the contradiction of fusion, will deviate his purpose from the beginning, and it will also bring great pain to him.
But at this time, he didn't think of this.
He thinks he has found meaning in life and is willing to fight for it all his life.
It was late at night, and Zheng He was still writing hard in front of the case, wanting to express his thoughts and plans in more detailed words.
