Chapter 567: Chinese-style colonization
Yao Qisheng traveled from Sri Lanka to Egypt, where Dahua's sailors firmly occupied several ports along the coast.
The strong walls and dense artillery batteries discouraged the Ottomans from having to accept the fact that the territory was captured.
Although the Ottoman Empire was at its strongest, their outlying provinces were constantly breaking out in revolts, and the chaotic distribution of beliefs and ethnic groups caused the Ottoman Empire to continue internal troubles.
The Ottoman Empire was not at all in a position to go on an expedition to Egypt, because of its large army, it was necessary to keep an eye on the rest of Europe.
The Chinese Dynasty occupied several ports in Egypt and did not encroach further on Egyptian land, which made them relax their guard a little.
The Ottomans were large enough to span three continents, and they were not ignorant of what was going on in their home country in Asia.
The Ottoman leadership agreed that the Chinese dynasty, though large, did not have the ability to march into North Africa, and that in fact Portugal and the emerging British were their most troublesome opponents.
This erroneous assertion made them completely lose the best period to drive away the Hua Dynasty sailors, and the sailors who stood firm were like a few nails, smashed deep into the land of Egypt.
Hou Xuanyan, who was far away in Jinling, rejected Yao Qisheng's request to send officials and indoctrination officials, and issued an order to Yao Qisheng to learn to use razing to control razing.
Yao Qisheng held the holy decree and fell into deep thought, the Chinese have little experience in this area, and they are used to completely occupying and then sinicizing the local natives and letting them colonize, which is really difficult for Yao Qisheng.
Soon, a colonial system with strong Chinese characteristics was formulated by Yao Qisheng, and this system was simply a clear stream in the colonial world.
"When we turn our gaze from the homeland of bourgeois civilization to the colonies, the extreme hypocrisy of bourgeois civilization and its barbaric nature are laid bare before us, because it pretends to be very decent in its homeland, and when it arrives in the colonies, it does not hide it at all."
This is the bearded man's assertion of the European colonial system, and the colonial history of the West is a history of slaughter and plunder, mainly because the white-skinned people of the West are under the cloak of self-proclaimed civilization. In fact, it is wrapped in a barbaric and vulgar body.
However, the Chinese civilization is different, and the word benevolence and forgiveness are engraved on the bones of China, which is a real country of etiquette.
Of course, such a country could not do the cruel and bloodthirsty colonization of the white-skinned people, and Yao Qisheng's new rules were actually very benevolent, giving the Egyptians in the occupied areas plenty of freedom and power.
Yao Qisheng made the non-religious minority, the upper echelons of Egypt, rule over the vast Islan.
It's not that he doesn't want the local religion to spread here, it's really that the Taoists avoid such things as preaching....
The real Taoist priests like to go into the mountains and cultivate the true immortals every day, and even their relatives feel a little annoyed to disturb their cultivation, and it is simply impossible for them to preach around with the Tao Te Ching.
This is too different from believing in God and believing in Allah, those people are eager to preach all over the world, as if to win over a few more congregations is to contribute much to the gods they believe in.
Taoist people are much higher, and Sanqing is even colder, I don't care if you believe it or not, believe that it is your creation, and pull it down if you don't believe it. This is what a fairy looks like......
Under the leadership of Yao Qisheng, the coastal ports began to be excavated, and the Egyptian people began to dig the canal under the command of the Chinese.
The people who once built the pyramids are accomplishing the second-highest feat in their history, digging a canal connecting the two seas.
The Ottomans and Europeans scoffed at this, shaking their fingers to ridicule the whimsy of the Chinese, and also confirmed their belief that the Chinese were not terrible.
Countless Egyptians willingly joined the excavation process, because it was not only a place to eat, but also to be paid.
Yao Qisheng sat in Egypt, waited for half a month and found that no one really came to attack him, and then set off for Sri Lanka.
He never imagined that because of his colonial policy, the people of the future Chinese colonies would turn to Dahua.
Hundreds of years later, after the Chinese Dynasty voluntarily abandoned many colonies, many regions and countries that had been colonies of the Chinese Dynasty held referendums to demand that the government rejoin the Chinese Dynasty.
Of course, Yao Qisheng didn't know what would happen hundreds of years later, what he was concerned about now was the war on the Indian continent in South Asia, and the Mughal Dynasty had been beaten and could not find the north.
The long-term bullying of the surrounding small countries gave the Mughal army sufficient self-confidence, but the gap in logistics, money, food, and the training of soldiers and horses could not be made up by self-confidence.
The capital of the Chinese dynasty was so strong that the state was frantically giving in favor of the people, and when the spice business in Java was on track, the treasury was full, and a new round of inflation came, the Mughal dynasty stepped forward to alleviate this urgent need.
The overflow of financial revenues finally came into play, and a large amount of money, food, baggage, weapons, ammunition, and silver bounties were invested in the battlefields of South Asia.
It was a magical battlefield, and the Chinese troops from Siam and Burma, although not Han Chinese, fought very bravely.
They drove elephants and fought the Mughal elephants on the battlefield. The Indians, who have always bullied people with elephant soldiers, have seen the real elephant soldiers, the whole Mughal is only more than 100 war elephants, and Siam alone has more than 300 well-trained adult elephants, although the elephant soldiers in Myanmar were destroyed a lot by the Chinese army in the war, but the rest is enough to crush the elephant soldiers of the Mughal Dynasty.
Elephants in armor went on a rampage, running merrily along the Indian roads, followed by cavalry and artillery.
The Hindu untouchables, when things are not good, surrender on the spot, anyway, the Mughal dynasty is also an outsider, they don't care who is conquered, they are used to being conquered.
Although the Northeast Front was fighting so lively, it was the Qiongzhou and Manraka sailors who really made Shah Jahan's heart tremble.
These sailors could land from anywhere along the long coastline and suddenly dishonorable when they landed.
The sailors, who possessed a complete map of India, attacked several important agricultural towns of the Mughal Empire, and a round of arson bombs could destroy the already underweight Mughal Empire's grain reserves.
Britain, the nominal ally, wanted to watch the tiger fight from across the strait, and then take advantage of the opportunity to maximize the benefits of the Indian mainland. As a result, they were completely stunned by this set of continuous blows, and the apparent allies immediately relented and firmly declared war on the Mughal dynasty.
When the news reached Jinling, Hou Xuanyan couldn't close his mouth with a smile, the face of this superficial ally was ugly and a little cute.
Of course, anyone who has read a little of modern history knows that whoever believes in the British Covenant is the Great Shabi.
Hou Xuanyan was not a big force, so he ignored the idea that the British wanted to enter the war and get a piece of the pie, and strictly ordered all the soldiers and horses in India to know that anyone who stood in the way was the enemy, and we had no friendly troops on the Indian continent.
In July, the Chinese army continued to receive good news on all fronts, and the Jingbei Army in the northwest had blocked the Ob River and completed the cutting of Tsarist Russia. The change of ownership of the entire Siberian snowfield also broke the record of territorial fall in the history of mankind.
The implementation of Di Bao also let the people know the country's dynamics for the first time, which can be described as an encouragement to the whole country.
The imperial court's measures to favor the people made the people's lives gradually richer, and the overflowing finances were like a time bomb.
Hou Xuanyan was determined to completely remove the threat of this bomb, and due to the current technological development, it was impossible to spend so much money on armaments. The only way to do this was to improve the welfare of the people, and in addition to the improvement of the salaries of various public officials, Hou Xuanyan also ruled that the Chinese law should be revised to stipulate that a part of the commercial tax collected should be used to subsidize the wages of factories at all levels.
In other words, in addition to the normal salary of the shopkeeper, the workers of the factory can also receive a sum of money from the yamen.
The second is to completely abolish the land tax, so that there is no need to pay taxes for farming, so as to solve the problem of the dwindling arable land and agricultural personnel in the Chinese Dynasty. The expansion of the territory has given countless people the opportunity to make a fortune, even if they can't get rich, and they can live better by being a worker behind a visionary.
The acceleration of urbanization has gradually brought earth-shaking changes to the Chinese Dynasty, and the Chinese who used to regard farming as bigger than the sky do not know when they no longer make a living from farming. Except for the older generation, who are still working in the fields, few of the younger people are willing to farm.
If you have planted land for thousands of years, you cannot say that you will give up and give it up completely, and this will especially cause the phenomenon of food shortages in some areas. Especially in places south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Jinling, and other large grain users, from time to time they have to buy grain from outside.
The abolition of the field endowment is definitely an earth-shattering news, and it is a strange thing that has not been done for thousands of years without having to pay the emperor's grain for farming.
The inflow of cotton from Nanyang into the interior and the rise of textile mills in various places made Chinese clothes cheaper. In the past, many ordinary people had a few clothes in their lives, but now ordinary people can also consume them.
As for the last one of clothing, food, shelter and transportation, rubber tires and the vast road construction projects throughout the Hua Dynasty brought the whole country closer together.
All of this converged into the people's fanatical worship of the king, so there was a phenomenon that the emperor of the Mughal Dynasty called himself Shah Jahan, which provoked the anger of the entire Chinese Dynasty to boil.
Now that the good news is spreading, and the Mughals are about to be pacified, some students of the Wutang began to write books, asking His Majesty to add the title of honor, covering all the lands of the universe and commanding the four seas and eight wildernesses.
Forbidden City, Jinluan Palace, in front of Fengtian Gate;
Chen Mingyu, the head of the hundred officials, held the wat board in his hand, bowed down and said loudly: "Your Majesty's work of merit is unheard of in the previous dynasty, and it is difficult to announce it in the later generations. The ministers wait for death and then worship the emperor's honorific title."
Hou Xuanyan said with a smile:
"I only need to send a commander to erase this so-called Hanja Khan, the so-called world emperor, which was originally a title for self-amusement. He proclaimed himself the emperor of the world in India, and I proclaimed myself the emperor of the universe in Jinling. The matter of honorific names is empty and empty, and I don't do such boring things. ”
When the officials heard this, they argued that the emperor must be crowned with honorific titles, but Hou Xuanyan couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm, so he had to agree to let Gu Yanwu of the Ministry of Rites draw it up.
Gu Yanwu happily returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites with the task, gathered his well-educated people, and began to honor the emperor.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty generally has an honorific title of seventeen characters, but this time the Ministry of Rites simply made an unprecedented honorific title of twenty-three characters.
In July of the second year of Tianzhen, Hou Xuanyan's honorific title was:
Dao Heaven Law Earth Holy Martial God Wen Qianyuan Supreme Holy Extreme Ren Guangxiao Hongyi Qin'an God Emperor.
With such a long honorific title, Hou Xuanyan couldn't remember it when he looked at the chapter. But this is also the intention of the ministers, and it is not good for him to refuse directly, anyway, except for the general canon, he can't use this thing.
Compared with these, Hou Xuanyan is more concerned about the situation in India, although the army is triumphant, but India is a big country after all, Hou Xuanyan has not been to India at this time, and he is a little worried about the people in these places making trouble.
But soon he knew that his ideas were purely superfluous, and that before Shah Jahan, the religious policy of the Mughal dynasty was very enlightened and moderate.
But since Shah Jahan came to power, he has changed his style and become cool.
Shah Jahan himself was a devout Ishlam believer, who followed Sunni teachings, promoted Shari'a, improved the legal system at all levels, supported the Sufi Nakshbandiyah Order, hired its elders as religious assistants, and granted Waqf land to its monasteries and mosques.
This religious fanatic, who believed in the strict laws of Iran, changed the religious tolerance policy of his ancestor Akbar the Great towards non-***. Demolishing Catholic churches, Hindu temples, and imposing twice as much tax on non-***.
The religious policy led to wars with non-Japanese people, and some Indian princes had long looked at him unpleasantly, but they couldn't beat him, so they could only swallow their anger. Now that there are stronger Chinese troops, these people immediately turned into the leading party, waving the banner of long live the Chinese while shouting: Huajun, go this way.
With the help of these people, the Chinese army was invincible on the Indian mainland, and soon the non-*** grand dukes of India collectively wrote a petition to honor Hou Xuanyan as the emperor of India.
This series of operations caught Hou Xuanyan and Hua Chao off guard, and they had seen a lot of opponents who were weak and couldn't help fighting, but it was the first time they had seen them who were in a hurry to surrender before they finished fighting...
Of course, this kind of cheapness is not taken advantage of, it is pure bastard. Hou Xuanyan happily accepted the letter sent by India, announced that he agreed to become the emperor of India, and accepted their tribute.
At this time, cowering in the capital city of Agra, the world-famous Peacock Throne, Shah Jahan already sensed that his end was near.
The ornate Pearl Mosque and Taj Mahal Mausoleum did not give him a sense of security, and the eyes of those around him became more and more frightening, and the most decorated emperor in the history of the Mughal dynasty was desperately waiting for death.
