Chapter 20: Entrapment (Monthly Pass Supplement and Update)
This small island outside the port of Malacca was a famous attraction in later generations, and the Chinese called Baisha Island.
In addition to a few white-sand beaches and a resort villa hotel, the whole island is just a golf course.
After two days on the island, the affairs of Malaja had begun, and the goods that had to be loaded and unloaded were loaded onto the ship, and they moved to the old port.
This time he moved to the old port, Zhu Zhanji did not take the flagship, but changed to a flagship ship converted from a sand boat.
The so-called sand boat is not a ship with sand, but a ship with sand control, and as the name suggests, it is not afraid of running aground on the beach.
The bottom of the sand boat is flat and can sit on the beach, and it is not afraid of running aground. Safe in the wind and waves. Especially when the wind direction and tide direction are different, because the bottom is flat and the draft is shallow, it is less affected by the tide and is safer.
Second, the performance is superior in offshore navigation. The sand boat has many masts and sails, and can sail against the wind.
The sand boat that Zhu Zhanji rode on had a carrying capacity of 9,000 stones, equivalent to the displacement of 1,200 tons in later generations, and was the largest flat-bottomed ship in today's era.
The disadvantage of sand boats is that they have a large water area. The speed is slower due to the flat bow of the ship. For this reason, the two sides of the middle of the hull are equipped with batch plates, also called waist camels.
After installing the water slicer, the original ability to sail against the wind is further enhanced. Such a sand boat can still move safely under the condition of a force 7 wind.
However, this is only theoretical, because it is a flat bottom, and the ability of this boat to break waves is very poor.
The Yuan Dynasty dispatched a fleet of more than 900 sand ships to attack Dongying, and almost all of them were wiped out after a typhoon in the waters west of Dongying.
However, Zhu Zhanji is now driving in the windless zone of the equator, and there are no typhoons here, so there is no need to be afraid, and this kind of boat can also directly enter the small river and travel directly to the old port.
On the way to the old port, Zhu Zhanji also stayed in Star City for a day.
There was nothing in Singapore in this era, just a wasteland and jungle, just traces of human habitation by the sea.
In later generations, the main city was still a swampland. Wang Jinghong organized people to start logging and burning waste in Kent Harbour Park, and built a simple wharf with timber.
Mount Kent is not high, but it is close to the sea, and he also set up the venue for the competition.
People sit on the slopes of Mount Kent, right facing the harbor, and have a clear view of the races below.
And the headquarters of his later company, Blarney Island, is now a forest, and there is no impression of it at all.
Revisiting the old place after 600 years, everything is wrong.
However, Zhu Zhanji is not a person who likes to be sad and sad, he can make his women feel happy, and he can change the fate of Chinese people in this time and space, which is enough for him to be busy.
After leaving Singapore, he arrived at the mouth of the Old Port two days later, and countless Chinese people arrived here.
Today, the Old Port has a population of less than 100,000 people, but it is already the second largest city in the South Seas, after Yogyakarta, the largest city in Majapahit, and a little larger than their current capital, Majapahit.
Because the original capital of Majapahit was actually in Yogyakarta, but due to a volcanic eruption, it was moved to Surabaya in later generations.
Today, the population of Java is mainly concentrated in the central and eastern parts of the island, and the western part is not safe because of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
And the Jakarta of the future is not visible at all.
Palembang was the birthplace and capital of the Srivijaya Kingdom from the 7th century, before the Sui Dynasty, until the year before Zhu Zhanji was born, when it was captured by the Majapahit.
However, Majapahit was limited in strength, and the lord's control over the army was also limited. Their armies are all Luo Yan, which is equivalent to the formation of the vassal king himself, and there are not many armies directly controlled by the lord of the country.
When the battle was over, the soldiers wanted to go back, and the lord of the country did not dare to stop them.
Moreover, Majapahit was also divided into three kings, and when the common enemy, Srivijaya, was destroyed, a war broke out between the three kings, and a fight lasted for several years.
Zheng He's first envoy was killed by 170 soldiers, that is, by the king of the East of Majapahit, and later they compensated 60,000 taels of gold as compensation.
It was in such an environment that they destroyed the Srivijaya. However, due to the civil war, the power of the Western King was weaker, and the old port was later occupied by the Chinese.
At that time, there were more than 1,000 Chinese living in Srivijaya, as well as local natives, who supported Liang Daoming, a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, as the king of Srivijaya.
Liang Daoming then formed an army and personally led his troops to defend the northern territory of Srivijaya against the Majapahit.
In ten years, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians crossed the sea from Guangdong to join King Liang Daoming, and in the third year of Yongle, Zhu Di sent Liang Daoming's fellow townsmen to supervise the imperial history Tan Shengshou and Yang Xin of thousands of households to Zhao'an.
Liang Daoming was overjoyed and took his subordinate Zheng Boke into the court together, leaving his deputy Shi Jinqing to lead the soldiers and civilians.
When he arrived at Yingtianfu, Liang Daoming refused to leave, and the king was not right, so he passed the throne to his deputy Shi Jinqing.
After living in the capital for several years, Liang Daoming died, and his people then transported him back to his ancestral home for burial. Because there are no talented people among the descendants, except for a few juniors who hold idle positions in the General Administration, no one has entered the office.
This time Zhu Zhanji went to sea, and the descendants of the Liang family accompanied him.
Then turn around and talk about Shi Jinqing.
Zhu Zhanji knew this person in later generations, and he also loved and hated him.
What I love is that he has carved out a world for the Chinese in the old port, and what I hate is that he is a very key person in the greening of Nanyang.
Liang Daoming was reluctant to be this bitter king, because at that time, the old port, also known as the New Srivijabaya, was occupied by the Western King of Majapahit, and the contradictions between the various tribes in the country were very large, and the king was subject to many constraints.
There was also a pirate king Chen Zuyi who occupied the western part of Borneo and often sent troops to plunder.
Shi Jinqing cherished this opportunity to be king.
This person still has the ability, he has a good grasp of the balance of tribal contradictions, and he has real power. After Zheng He's fleet wiped out Chen Zuyi's fleet, he coerced the Manjapahit Boyi not to attack the old port, so he was a good king.
However, in order to balance the contradictions within the Srivijaya, he embraced the Green Religion.
In order to gain the trust of the majority of the Green Church, outsiders like him have intensified their efforts and become the most active person in promoting greening.
Many later generations have confirmed the important role of Shi Jinqing in the process of greening in Nanyang. Therefore, Zhu Zhanji came here this time for a very important purpose, that is, to strictly prohibit him from continuing to promote greening, and to strictly control it.
If he doesn't obey, Zhu Zhanji is ready to change to a different king. If those tribes objected, Zhu Zhanji's hands would have itched a long time ago, and he wanted to find someone to kill the chickens and monkeys.
Shi Jinqing is not a peaceful person, and after he grasps power, he is actually very inflated.
Although the Ming Dynasty made him a consolation envoy from the old port of Sanpin, he still claimed to be the king of Sriwijaya to other countries.
Zhu Zhanji doesn't care about this, his contribution to the Chinese is still very large, and now there are more than 100,000 Chinese around the old port, and he is responsible for living and working here in peace and contentment.
So as long as he doesn't continue to promote greening, Zhu Zhanji doesn't care that he is a soil king here.
Even if he arranges for others to come over, he may not be as good as he is, and after a long time, he will still have the heart of self-reliance.
The human heart is never truly satisfied.
When there is no perfect institutional constraint, we can only establish a relatively complete system to stabilize this framework.
For example, sub-packing.
Since 20 years ago, Liang Daoming was elected as the new king, and nearly 100,000 Chinese have migrated from Guangnan, Nanhai and other places.
In the vicinity of today's Old Port, according to the agreement between the indigenous tribes and the Chinese at that time, the land here belonged to the Chinese.
Located in the lower reaches of the Musi River, the Old Port has the largest plain in the South Seas, full of fertile land that will feed tens of millions of people in later generations.
With these lands, the Chinese multiplied here, making it one of the wealthiest areas in the South Seas.
Today's Nanyang area is only a few areas rich in gold mines, and the life of the common people is better than that of the Chinese in the old port.
Because of the support of the Ming Dynasty, although the Majapahit nominally had the nominal right to rule the old port, it had considerable independence except for paying tribute to the Majapahit every year.
When it comes to this, we have to mention the generosity and short-sightedness of Daming.
In order to gain a good reputation and maintain the face of the Celestial Empire, although the Ming Dynasty nominally accepted the old port as its territory, it was only for the Chinese living here, and there was no claim to the territory here.
Bairi Missoula of Malaka was the prince of the original Three Buddhas, and when he visited the Ming Dynasty in the ninth year of Yongle, he asked Zhu Di for the old port.
However, for the sake of local peace, Zhu Di rejected Bairi Missoula's request and recognized that the sovereignty of the old port should belong to the Majapahit, who destroyed the Three Buddhas.
Majapahit's king, Mavardana, was so grateful for this that in the thirteenth year of Yongle, the year before last, he sent a prince to Yingtianfu to thank Zhu Di for his maintenance of their sovereignty.
In short, in today's Nanyang region, the sovereignty of many places is like the old port, which is in a mess.
After the destruction of the Three Buddhas, the new Three Buddhas were established, and the Majapahit could not actually control them, so they could only ask the new Three Buddhas to hand over grain and minerals every year.
Bairi Missoula, Majapahit, Shi Jinqing, and Da Ming all have the right to administer or sovereign here.
Zhu Ahyo is still because Daming doesn't pay attention to this, so it has led to such a situation.
When the fleet entered the Muxi River, the local Chinese beat gongs and drums and began to greet Zhu Zhanji and his party.
Shi Jinqing took his second daughter Shi Second Sister and young son Shi Jisun, and also led the civil and military officials of the old port, as well as the tribal leaders and elders of the Three Buddhas, to welcome them to the mouth of the sea.
Shi Jinqing is nearly sixty years old this year, although this person is old, but his majesty is still there, and he is a resolute and resolute figure.
In contrast, his son Shi Jisun was submissive, which made Zhu Zhanji feel a bit like a tiger father and a dog.
And the civil power of the old port is now in the hands of Second Sister Shi, which makes Zhu Zhanji treat this middle-aged woman who doesn't look amazing a little differently.
Now is not a later generation, nor is it before the Tang Dynasty, since the Song Dynasty, the status of women is very low.
Even in a foreign country, the status of a woman is not high, Second Sister Shi can control the power of the old port, this woman is not simple.
When the ship arrived at the old port, Zhu Zhanji really felt the enthusiasm of the local Chinese for his grandson.
Although these people left their hometowns and came thousands of miles away to earn a living, they still regarded themselves as a Ming people.
They burst out with great enthusiasm for being able to meet the imperial grandson in a foreign land, and organized the whole city to welcome Zhu Zhanji.
Everyone burst into tears with excitement when they saw Zhu Zhanji, and the fanatical Zhu Zhanji asked them to die, and I am afraid that many people would commit suicide directly.
Seeing them, Zhu Zhanji felt that he had a greater responsibility to them.
For several days in a row, Zhu Zhanji attended various receptions and entertainment in the old port city and met with representatives from all walks of life.
From the hundreds of officials in the old port, to the condolences to the soldiers stationed there, from meeting with the tribal leaders of the old port, to meeting with the representatives of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Zhu Zhanji was very busy.
Zhu Zhanji is busy, and his subordinates are not easy. In particular, managers like Huang Yuan and Sun Lin worked harder than Zhu Zhanji.
Jin Chun, Xie Jin, and Huang Yuan wanted to form a new leadership framework for the Ming Dynasty in the Nanyang region. Since the Ming Dynasty wants to strengthen its control over the South Seas, the original model must be changed and strengthened.
Sun Lin, Zhuang Jing, and Pang Ying are also busy setting up a tighter intelligence network, from the previous single-person single-line bystander, to the current multi-person and multi-line cross-intelligence network, they still need to do a lot of things.
At this time, some of Ha San's behaviors attracted Sun Lin's attention.
"On the eighth day of the fourth month, the first day of his arrival in Malaga, Hasan followed the superintendent to meet with Bairi Missoula and his son. He and Iskandarsha met alone at the mosque for another hour the next day, and there was no supervision as our insiders did not pay special attention to him at that time.
After that, Hasan had a close relationship with the great cannibal of Malaga, and his whereabouts were secretive. It wasn't until April 14 that a group of soldiers from our Daming Dynasty checked books from other countries in Talan Village, and encountered Ha San's obstruction in the middle, that he officially entered our sight.
After that, our consulting department specially sent two small eunuchs to supervise Ha San. But because he talks to outsiders and uses big food talk all the time, he doesn't have much useful information, just knows that he has some actions behind the scenes.
It wasn't until we went to the Old Port that we found that Hasan had received thirty taels of gold from Iskandarsha. Since arriving in the Old Port, he has been wandering from mosque to mosque and seeking contact with Shi Jisun.
Although there is no clear evidence, it has been determined that Ha San has a bad intention. Therefore, what to do next, I still hope that the Admiral will give an order. ”
Sun Lin is the young eunuch of Xingqing Palace, and the commander consults the secretary, so his subordinates generally do not call him a young eunuch, but directly call him the commander.
After listening to his subordinates' reports, he pondered for a while and said, "There is no one in the Counseling Department who is proficient in the big food talk now, and even tracking him is of little use. Although this person is only the presiding officer of a mosque, he is also a meritorious person, and he has a good relationship with the governor. Moreover, he has a close relationship with hundreds of food merchants in Quanzhou, and I should report this matter to His Highness to see how he arranges it. ”
Coming out of the Srivijaya Royal Courtyard where Taisun was staying, Sun Lin got into a two-wheeled carriage and marched towards the caramel factory in the northern suburbs under the protection of twenty guards.
This caramel factory is the largest sugar factory in the Old Port, built by local Chinese, and the sugar produced is mainly sold to Daming.
Since last year, the internal supervision has stopped the import of sugar, and all the brown sugar and white sugar here have been preserved in the Malaka official factory.
Zhu Zhanji knew that this was the largest sugar factory in Nanyang, so he took the initiative to ask to come and visit.
After Sun Lin arrived at the sugar factory, he just parked the carriage next to Zhu Zhanji's dragon chariot, did not go in to disturb Zhu Zhanji, and still stayed in the carriage to handle official business.
He had to read hundreds of official documents every day, and he had to give instructions on each of them. But he likes the busyness, and he enjoys the feeling of hiding behind his back and controlling everything.
Near noon, Zhu Zhanji came out of the sugar factory and saw Sun Lin. He got into the carriage and, surrounded by everyone, let Sun Lin get on his dragon chariot.
Sun Lin basically stays in the room every day, and when he took the initiative to come out today, he must have something to look for him.
When Long Yuan left the sugar factory slowly, Zhu Zhanji waved his hand to everyone, turned his head and said, "It's rare to see you go out, what's the matter with coming to me?" ”
Sun Lin told Zhu Zhanji about Ha San in detail, and then said: "Although Ha San is just a small person, he has a close relationship with many officials of my Ming Dynasty, and he also has some fame among the big cannibals. So how to deal with him, His Highness has to make an idea. ”
"Are you sure there's something wrong with Hasan?"
"Your Highness, the ministers have no evidence."
Zhu Zhanji groaned and laughed. "Gu Yuan thought that it would be the locals who jumped out first, but he didn't expect that it would be Ha San, who came from Daming with us, and jumped out. Lone didn't care about his reputation, and since he suspected him, he ordered the Jinyi guard to arrest him first. ”
He said to Li Liang, who was sitting on the lower skirt of the dragon chariot, "Let Feng Xiaonian see Lonely." ”
The Advisory Department only has the responsibility of investigation and information collection, but not the responsibility of arrest and interrogation, although this matter was discovered by the Information Division, it still needs to be dispatched by Jinyiwei. ”
Feng Xiaonian received the order, and immediately led four Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, as well as a team of twenty-five Yulin Wei, and rode back to the city first to capture Ha San.
Zhu Zhanji needed to kill the chicken and the monkey, but he didn't expect that this chicken turned out to be Hasan.
However, the public arrest of an imam in the old port, an area with serious greenery, can also serve as a warning.
Sun Lin glanced at the guards outside and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to strengthen your precautions, there are quite a few Green Sect believers here." ”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that this matter is not sensational enough!" Bring Ha San over to see me first, if he really has different intentions, he will make a big deal about it! ”
Ha San has been in a lot of scenery recently, and in Daming, he is just the host of a mosque. The Green Sect has no privileges in Daming, and his presiding officer is also somewhat famous in the local area.
But when he came to Nanyang, where the Green Religion was the state religion, he, an imam from the Celestial Empire, was an important guest wherever he went.
After Zhu Zhanji came to the old port, just like in Malaga, he immediately ordered that in the future, the old port area, that is, the new Three Buddhas, would be fully sinicized, and all books from other countries should be handed over and destroyed. In the future, Confucianism will be the mainstay.
Of course, the other tribes objected, but in the Old Port, a city now more than half Chinese, they welcomed the decree by a show of hands.
However, there is no lack of opposition in the Old Port City, mainly the imams of the major mosques.
If everyone can't learn Arabic, then recruiting believers will be a big problem. Although the Ming Dynasty did not order the ban on the Green Religion, it was similar to a ban.
Moreover, after Shi Jinqing was recently warned by Zhu Zhanji, his attitude was ambiguous, and his attitude towards these imams was also much colder.
Shi Jinqing is an opportunist, in the past, in order to win over the local tribes and curry favor with the Majapahit, so he converted to the Green Religion.
Now Zhu Zhanji does not allow him to promote the Green Religion anymore and promises to support him, so he naturally throws the Green Religion aside.
It also made the imams even more anxious and worried about the future.
Without the support of the government, without those privileges, no religion would have gone smoothly.
So when Ha San put on an attitude of fighting to the end, he immediately won over many local believers.
But in the face of the powerful Da Ming, they didn't dare to come hard at all.
With the information of the Information Department, Feng Xiaonian led his subordinates directly to the Mahad Mosque in the center of Palembang City.
Located in the heart of Palembang, this mosque occupies the best location and can be described as the center of the entire city.
However, he did not rush into the mosque to arrest people, but waited outside the door.
Since Zhu Zhanji told him to act cautiously, he would not make a fuss from the beginning. What's more, he also knew that Ha San had been handing Zhu Zhanji a post and wanted to meet him, but Zhu Zhanji didn't pay attention to him.
So he was going to salute first and then soldier, and deceive Ha San so that he wouldn't alarm the others.
It was past the afternoon service time, and they finally waited for Ha San to come out with two servants. There was also a group of believers and imams dressed as big cannibals who sent him out.
Feng Xiaonian greeted him and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the contemptible Feng Xiaonian, on the orders of His Royal Highness, please ask Your Excellency Bishop to come over the house to talk." ”
"Your Highness is finally willing to see me......" Ha San was overjoyed, and hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, and his words were full of pride.
Feng Xiaonian waited patiently for him to say goodbye to everyone, invited Ha San to get into the car, and then gave a look to a messenger eunuch who came over from the Counseling Department.
The eunuch knew this, and immediately led half of the people to act separately and went to the place where Ha San lived to collect evidence.
This Ha San is not stupid, although he was carried away by the good news of His Highness's invitation at the beginning, but since he was summoned by His Highness, he should be headed by an inner servant, how could he be headed by a brocade guard.
But when he got into the carriage, he didn't dare to turn his face, but just tried between words.
After getting into his own car, Feng Xiaonian felt at ease, and he was not afraid that the other party would want to escape. In this world, no one has escaped the palm of the Ming Jinyi Guard.
In the face of Ha San's temptation, Feng Xiaonian, a veteran of the rivers and lakes, of course, will not show his stuffing, and in terms of playing hypocrisy and conspiracy, Ha San is not enough to see at all.
"The Bishop needs not worry, His Highness wants to see the Bishop today because the Sugar Mill Hermes-Epitek mentioned the origin of his cooperation with the Great Cannibal. I was waiting on the sidelines, so of course I was supposed to make this trip. ”
White sugar was first invented by the Great Cannibals, and they also have a unique knack for refining white sugar. So Feng Xiaonian explained from this perspective that Ha San had no doubts at all.
In this way, the carriage swayed to the royal palace where Zhu Zhanji lived.
(12000 updates, do what you say.) This is to make up for the monthly pass plus more, and I still owe Hu Yansheng three watches, Xi Shepherd, and Da Sui Zhangde Gong each one watch, a total of five watches, and the debt must be repaid this month. )
