Zhu Zhanji knew that his plan would be opposed by many people, but he did not take it to heart.

Today's Malaka only occupies some areas around Malacca in later generations, the size is about the same size as a county in the Ming Dynasty, with a population of only tens of thousands, and its strength is not worth mentioning at all.

In the face of absolute strength, any intrigue is useless.

Just like those fierce and vicious bandits in later generations, no matter how ruthless and clever they are, they can only be arrested in the face of the state machinery that is in motion.

This gap in strength is not something that can be offset by conspiracy.

His subordinates have already been able to make this plan go smoothly, so his energy is not focused on the sinicization of Malaga, but on the upcoming fleet competition.

Compared with a small Malaga, he paid more attention to the mentality and military discipline of the officers and men of the fleet.

Because the entire army is the source of his strength.

Since leaving Quanzhou, the fleet's various competitive competitions have begun, from the preliminary round to the preliminary round, and now it has entered the final stage.

"Your Highness, there is a small island off the coast of the old port, the terrain is flat, there is no poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, and it can be used as a venue for the finals."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Holding individual competitions and team competitions really stimulates the hearts of soldiers to move forward. Therefore, the final venue should not only be large, but also more soldiers can see it. The venue for the final should be a hill with sparse forests, and the competition will be at the bottom of the mountain, and the soldiers can watch the complete process on the hillside. It should also be not far from the sea, and at the same time be able to conduct a fleet shelling competition. ”

Wang Jinghong understood and said, "Then I will follow this condition and find a suitable venue between Malaka and Palembang." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and exhorted: "Any arrangement should have its purpose and significance. Lonely is not a lot of money and wants to scatter out, and the main purpose of personal competition is to stimulate the heart of the soldiers. In addition, team competitions are used to enhance the cohesion of the soldiers and let them know the importance of teamwork.

Therefore, each competition project we formulate is to show personal strength, personal charm, and show the principle of higher, faster, and stronger to arrange the project. The team project is aimed at showing the style of our Ming Navy and strengthening the teamwork of the fighters in the competition. ”

Although Wang Jinghong single-handedly planned the competitive competition of the Ming Navy, he never considered the factors behind the competition, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

And the same is true for other people, even Jin Kuo, who grew up watching Zhu Zhanji, heard Zhu Zhanji say this, and felt that this highness was really wise and almost demonic.

And Daniel Zhang, Liu Jin, and Du Cong, who had less contact with Zhu Zhanji, admired this young highness even more. A game for fear of the soldiers being bored on the journey was given so much spiritual meaning by him.

They no longer had the slightest contempt, and no longer regarded His Highness the Grand Sun as a curious young man, but as a true heir to the empire.

Arrange the schedule, itinerary and personnel arrangement during the finals of the competition. Sun Lin, who served as the secretary of the meeting, said: "Now let's move on to the next topic, how to actively promote the sinicization process of Malaka." ”

Zhu Zhanji first made a meeting and said: "Malaka is an area with advantages in sinicization, and today's Malaka has a total population of less than 50,000, and more than 10,000 are Han Chinese, accounting for more than one-third. Malaka is weak, and there will be little resistance in the process of promoting sinicization.

Moreover, among the locals, all the locals who rely on the Han people to survive will speak some Chinese more or less in the past ten years, so the promotion process will not be very difficult. However, we must also note that because of the complex international environment, the upper echelons of the Malaka do not support the complete Chinese language. How to resolve the contradictions and resistances in the middle, please speak freely. ”

Zheng He, as the deputy commander of the fleet, took the lead in saying: "The process of sinicization of Malaka can be like the old port, when the Chinese occupy the mainstream of society, people will naturally begin to learn the Ming dialect. The former garrison mainly maintained the security of the port, as well as the production of official factories, and did not take an active part in the social development of Malaka as a whole. Personally, I believe that the control of the army and the families of soldiers should be relaxed, so that they can play a more important role in all strata of Malaga. ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "What Dian Guogong said is right, but how to solve the problem of corruption in deregulation, how to solve the problem of contradictions between the Chinese and the locals, and how to solve the resistance deliberately exerted by the upper echelons of Malajia requires more detailed planning. ”

Other people have also come up with suggestions, and all of them are the elites of this era, even if they themselves have the limitations of the times, but when facing specific affairs, they have strategies that are more in line with reality than Zhu Zhanji.

Under the joint staff of everyone, a more detailed plan was put forward for the process of the sinicization of Malaga. The main person in charge of this matter arranged for Daniel Zhang, a staff officer of the Fourth Fleet, to serve as the officer.

And his main office in the future was also arranged in Singapore, which is still in ruins.

This involves another issue, that is, the transshipment port of Daming will be slowly transferred from Malaka to Singapore.

Singapore at this time, there is no country yet. Originally, there was a small town, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Srivijaya, but after it was robbed by Majapahit, it was burned down.

Although the Siam now nominally ruled the land here, their main territory was thousands of miles away in the north, and it was not taken seriously, so the Ming occupied it without any objection.

Zhu Zhanji also named this place Star City, and arranged for Daniel Zhang to build a naval port here, which can directly radiate the two areas of the old port and Malaga.

As for the official factories and warehouses, they will not be relocated for the time being, at least until the construction of Star City is here, and then the industry will be slowly transferred.

In fact, the official factory in Malaka did not take on much production tasks, only a copper smelter, a ship repair yard, and then a warehouse for grain, tropical fruits, and dried fish.

Such a move is also to put pressure on Malaga.,If you don't sinicize,I'll ignore you.。

In order to maintain relations with other countries, the Ming could not simply raise the butcher knife. One Malaka is a small matter, but the whole of Nanyang is a big thing.

Therefore, Da Ming does not need to use a butcher's knife, he only needs to use the economy, so that Ma Laga can follow Da Ming.

Of course, if they dare to be disobedient, the Ming Dynasty doesn't mind letting Siam take action and destroy Malaga.

The current Siam is just the name of the Ming Dynasty, and they now actually call themselves the Ayutthaya Dynasty. This is based on their current capital, Ayutthaya, and as for Bangkok, this place does not exist yet.

After arranging all these trivial matters, everyone got up one after another, and the meeting lasted for two hours, and everyone was a little dizzy.

Wang Jinghong suddenly said at this time: "Your Highness, since you want to build Star City now, it is better to arrange this finals to be held in Star City." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "You can arrange this kind of thing, Star City is good here, whether it is not far from the old port or from Malaga, it is also very convenient to invite envoys from various countries." ”

Wang Jinghong said with a smile: "Then I will arrange the itinerary and personnel, and then report to you." ”

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while and said: "Time should be faster, you have to wait for the south wind in May, but we must go to Nanzhou before the south wind arrives." ”

Zheng He was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes looked between Zhu Zhanji and Wang Jinghong. Zhu Zhanji said again: "Let's disperse, the Duke of Dian Guo will stay." ”

After everyone went out, Zhu Zhanji invited Zheng He to the tea room on the east side of the first floor and sat down on the bamboo chair facing the garden.

"Duke Dian Guo, Gu has changed his mind, this time I went to the West, you and Gu acted together, and the right army was led by Wang Jinghong and Zhu Zhen."

When Zheng He heard Zhu Zhanji's words just now, he was a little mentally prepared, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "But is there something wrong with the minister?" ”

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "It's not the fault of the Duke of Dian State, but it is a lonely consideration. The Duke of Dian went to the Western Ocean four times, and was quite familiar with both the South and Western Oceans, and established friendly relations with the lords and tribal leaders of various countries here. However, this is precisely the point that Gu is worried about. ”

Li Liang took saltpeter to freeze, chilled a watermelon, cut it into thin slices, and served it himself. Zhu Zhanji took a piece and ate it in a big gulp, but Zheng He waved his hand and signaled that he would not eat it.

"Your Highness, the minister has something to understand."

"Say."

"From His Highness's Malaka policy, the minister has already seen that His Highness is ready to change the previous policy of the Ming Dynasty towards the Nanyang countries, not caring about appeasement, but preparing to strengthen control, so that the people of the Nanyang countries will more agree with my Ming rule."

Zhu Zhanji ate a piece, then stopped eating it, and instructed Li Liang: "Give it to Ma Liangyuan and them, their women like these sweets." ”

Then he turned around and said: "I have a question I want to ask the Duke of Dian Guo, although the Ming Dynasty is nominally the upper kingdom of the Nanyang States, but each country has its own affairs, except for the upper echelons who know my Daming, how many of those people know about my Daming?" How many people agree with my Daming? ”

Zheng He pondered for a while and said: "Except for Luzon, Bomud Country, and Old Port, all of them are people who see the wind and rudder and just want to take advantage. ”

Zhu Zhanji was taken aback, he thought that Zheng He would cover up his wrongdoings, but he didn't expect him to be able to confess directly.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's policy towards the countries of the South Seas has to be changed. In the early years, I was preparing for this trip to the West, the purpose of which was to make all countries truly become the subjects of my Ming Dynasty, and let the glory of my Ming Dynasty shine on all countries. The process will not be smooth sailing, and to achieve this, it is necessary to hold sugar in one hand and a knife and gun in the other. Those who listen to my orders will give a piece of candy to eat, and those who don't listen will be forced to do so. ”

"Does Your Highness think that the minister is too lenient to the countries of the South Seas?" Zheng He smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness doesn't know what the minister thinks......"

Zhu Zhanji stretched out his hands and said: "I am the coach, and you are the deputy coach, so Gu now hopes to be open and honest with you and reach an agreement." Now I have enough time to listen to you. ”

When Zheng He saw Zhu Zhanji say this, he didn't know where to start for a while. He pondered for a while and said, "He has been going to sea since the first year of Yongle, and in the past fifteen years, he has traveled to most of the Zhongzhou Continent. But I have never seen a country as strong and rich as me. The minister has been wondering, why is there always a war in this world, why can't we live in peace? But I found that as long as there were different countries and different peoples, the war would never stop.

In the past, Daming did not have an absolute advantage, it was just a grassland, which made Daming helpless. However, since His Highness improved the musket and could produce it in large quantities, the Ming Dynasty now has the ability to unify the Central Continent. If all these countries were under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't there be no more wars in the future?

Therefore, the minister not only did not have the slightest opinion on His Highness's plan, but also supported it very much. In the past, the ministers could only listen to His Majesty's orders, mainly to pacify, and would not meddle in the affairs of the Nanyang countries, but if all these countries were turned into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and I would issue a decree by the Ming Dynasty, all the people would not obey, and there would be no war in the world. ”

Zhu Zhanji was really dumbfounded when he heard Zheng He's words. I didn't expect that in this era hundreds of years ago, there would be a pacifist like Zheng He.

He had completely renounced the state, the nation, the religion and became a true pan-patriot.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but say: "The idea is good, but it is difficult to realize. ”

Zheng He asked, "Why?" ”

Zhu Zhanji likes this kind of experience crushing the most, which is the only point that he is stronger than people in this world. Whether it is IQ or EQ, the people of later generations are not stronger than the ancient people, the only thing that is stronger is experience and hundreds of years of experience.

"First of all, this matter should be looked at separately, on the one hand, the acceptance of Daming by other countries, and on the other hand, the management conditions that Daming has. And both aspects must also include contradictions and conflicts between individuals and groups.

First of all, let's look at the attitude of various countries towards the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the countries of the South Seas and the Western countries separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Taking the Tatars as an example, they are not a people, not a way of life, and their integration with the Ming Dynasty has a fundamental contradiction. Because of the proximity, the Ming Dynasty could slowly influence the Tatars, using the interests of the Beimingshan copper mine to link the Ming and the Tatars, but this did not solve the fundamental contradiction between the two different peoples.

At the beginning, Mengyuan implemented a different level of management mode, which has been proven to be unable to solve the problem. Because no nation wants to be inferior, this will only lead to constant struggle.

This is only from the general direction, but down to the details. The management of the Ming Dynasty and the management of the Tatars are all carried out by individuals, and if it is a person, he will have selfishness and his own interests. Not every Ming person will defend the interests of the Ming Dynasty, especially when the interests of the Ming Dynasty conflict with the interests of individuals.

Secondly, let's look at the management conditions that Daming has. Now it takes a month to convey an order from the Ming Dynasty to Mobei, and it takes three months to convey an order from the Ming Dynasty to the South Seas, not during the tailwind period, and it takes more than a year to reach the Western Ocean. Any order, when it reaches the West, may have long been outdated.

Moreover, the managers of Daming have selfish intentions. The difficulty of management brought about by this distance and time will make the original policy that benefited the people turn into a harmful one in the end. In the former Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi changed the law, and the Qingmiao loan was originally beneficial to the people, but in the end it became harmful to the people, which is a simple example.

There are simply too many such examples, and in many cases, the policies of the imperial court can still be implemented in the state capital, but when they reach the county seat, they have changed beyond recognition. When it comes to the township, it can only be managed by the village elders.

This is still in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and out of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court can't control it at all. That's why I say that the idea of the Duke of Dian is good, but it is not realistic. ”

"Is there no solution then?"

"Of course, but that must be based on changing the vertical management system of the Ming Dynasty today."

This is another new term, and Zheng He is a little incomprehensible. "What is a vertical management system?"

"To put it simply, it is the management mode of the upper and lower levels, the imperial court orders, and then from the six ministries to the localities, and then conveys it layer by layer."

Zheng He asked suspiciously: "If you don't manage it like this, how can you manage it?" ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled, no longer explained to him, but returned to the original question and said: "Because the conditions are immature, the management of the Ming Dynasty basically still depends on the self-management of various places. However, the Ming had to play a leading role in diplomacy, trade, and culture. This is also the main reason why I started to implement the Sinicization policy in Nanyang, first of all, we have to let everyone start to speak Da Ming dialect and write Da Ming characters, only in this way, they can understand our orders. ”

Zheng He's train of thought finally became normal, and he sighed: "The minister understands, but if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." The first thing the Ming Dynasty had to do was to establish a system that could be used all over the world. ”

"What the Duke of Dian said is exact!" Zhu Zhanji laughed, his mood was indeed happy.

Originally, he thought that Zheng He was too much to use, but now he found that he was actually more radical than himself.

Although the two had different ideas, Zhu Zhanji's taste was to make the Han people the masters of the world, while Zheng He wanted the powerful Ming to control the world and then reduce wars.

But the purpose is the same. That is, to make Daming the strongest country, and to let all countries in the world respect Daming.

Because of the same purpose, Zheng He can still be used.

Zheng He's attitude also completely left Bairy Missoula without support. I could only endure according to Zhu Zhanji's instructions and began to promote the Chinese language in Malajia, and made the official language of the Ming Dynasty.

Just when Zhu Zhanji had spent a few busy days, arranged various affairs, and was about to go on vacation to the nameless island off Malaga, Chawang also came to the governor's office in the port with dozens of apprentices and began a new study.

There are nearly 1,000 of them, most of whom are young people from the surrounding villages. There are many people who were not originally Malagas, but because the Siamese people don't care, they are now Malagas.

Twenty years ago, there were only three villages in Malaga, but now, with a county governed by such a large area, the surrounding villages have also been absorbed by Malaga.

In the port, those coolies were responsible for loading goods, repairing ships, and smelting copper. Although it is hard, there is also a relatively large income, so it attracts many locals to work

But apprentices like Chawang, they have been working and studying since they were young. Although the work is easy and I only have to be responsible for statistics, I have no salary except for food and housing.

Now the Ming Dynasty recruits apprentices who can speak the Ming language, and then arranges them to serve as officials in various villages. Although this official is not in the ranks, as an agent of the Ming Dynasty, he will have a higher status and income.

Therefore, it attracted a lot of apprentices to sign up, and after careful selection, Daming recruited fifty people for the first time.

There were only twenty-seven villages in the whole of Malaga, and there was one small city. According to the stationing of one person in each village, twenty-seven people are required. Then there is also the need to set up a liaison in the city, a governing body.

Fifty people is enough to meet the basic requirements, after all, the entire Malaga, plus more than 10,000 Han people, is less than 50,000.

Chawang is more intelligent, and there is no problem with writing and reading in the Ming Dynasty, so he was selected.

Like his second brother, Yalak, he was eliminated and could only continue to be an apprentice.

When the fifty of them were gathered, a few eunuchs and a few civil officials from the Ming Dynasty became their new teachers.

The civil servants taught them every day how to measure the land, how to compost, how to plough the fields, and how to trim the ridges.

They are very strict, and if anyone doesn't listen carefully and can't keep up with the progress, they will be pulled out to play the board, so everyone learns seriously and doesn't dare to be sloppy.

After learning how to grow the fields, the people began to teach them how to collect taxes and how to calculate them. Finally, they are taught how to write official documents in a unified format, including some special nouns.

Although these civil officials are strict, because the things they teach are useful, these students are still very energetic in learning every day, and they are not really afraid of them.

But compared to them, these eunuchs are too terrible. They take everyone to run every day in the morning, and everyone is tired to death.

Then they were endlessly asked to bow down to His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and they had to write an article praising the Ming Emperor every day.

Moreover, they are much more ruthless than those civil officials.

One of the apprentices, Udu, was taken out and slapped ten times just because he sneezed while kneeling down to worship the portrait.

Another apprentice, Lai Lidan, was beaten to death because he laughed when a eunuch told them stories about the emperor.

The eunuch also said violently: "This is the emperor of the Ming Empire, and the most noble person in the world. His words are Chrysostom, and his orders are more important than the words of your Sultan, and no one can blaspheme, otherwise he will die worse than him! ”

This is not the first time Chawang has seen someone beaten to death, but the first time he has been beaten to death for such a ridiculous reason.

There was a genuine fear in everyone's hearts, but there was also a kind of curiosity. Even when worshipping, he was not so strict in the face of God, could it be that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was more noble than God?

Then they got the answer, and when the eunuch spoke of the beliefs of the nations, he proudly said: "Our Emperor is more noble than any god, and even the gods are subject to the commands of our Emperor Majesty." ”

It's only been half a month since I studied, but Cha Wang's heart has left a deep impression that the Ming Emperor is more noble than a god!
