Chapter 157: Colonization Plan
"Zhou Dashuai, did you take the wrong medicine today?" Tsukahara Molong looked at Zhou Dashuai in surprise and asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhou Dashuai shook his head solemnly and said respectfully: "My subordinates have always been very sober. ”
Tsukahara Molong was silent for a moment when he heard this, and the entire castle tower was suddenly silent, and after a long time, Tsukahara Molong sighed and said with some difficulty: "Is there news from Mingguo?" ”
Ming Guo? Everyone in the castle tower was stunned when they heard this, in the minds of the RB people during the Warring States Period, the Ming Kingdom was an unattainable behemoth, and it was difficult to match the Heavenly Empire with all the princes of the entire RB united. And for so long, everyone has regarded Zhou Dashuai as their own, but they have ignored the fact that he was born in the Ming Kingdom.
Zhou Dashuai glanced at Tsukahara Molong and nodded slowly: "Not long ago, Wang Zhi, a maritime merchant of the Ming Kingdom, had a fleet arrive in Kanto and brought a large number of iron cannons, this matter should be known to the lord, right?" ”
Wang Zhi? Tsukahara Moryū couldn't help but be a little distracted the moment he heard this name, in the messy Japanese manga "One Piece" in the later world, the signature line of the protagonist Luffy is "I am the man who wants to be the king of the pirates." "But Wang Zhi is the real One Piece of this era! Since Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has been declining, and the forces such as Portugal and Spain that have swarmed from the sea have gradually felt powerless, and then they simply adopted the policy of sea ban. But too many people live on the sea, how can they say that they can live in a ban? Wang Zhi was a merchant who was dissatisfied with the imperial court's maritime ban policy, and in pursuit of profits, he began to engage in the smuggling business, which grew stronger and bigger to the point that even the rampant Portuguese and Spanish merchants had to bow their heads. And so far have made the Chinese people gnash their teeth in the Ming Dynasty Woko Rebellion, many people blamed Wang Zhi who hired a large number of RB ronin, but this was wronged him, when Wang Zhi was still alive, because of the mastery of the sea, so the various groups composed of RB ronin were controlled by Wang Zhi, and the number and combat effectiveness of the scattered pirates were actually quite average. However, the greedy Wang Bengu rebelled and beheaded Wang Zhi, who had already accepted the court's recruitment, causing the great pirate alliance to be leaderless and collapsing in an instant, and the pirates who had lost their control began to attack the coast of the Ming Dynasty. "I just heard that the fleet of the Ming Kingdom was docked, but I didn't expect it to be Wang Zhi's fleet. What news did they bring? ”
Zhou Dashuai nodded, "The imperial court has granted amnesty to the world and exempted my family from the crime, and it's time for me to go back." ”
"That's a good thing, why don't you look unhappy?" Tsukahara Moryū laughed to himself: "Speaking of which, you don't seem to have told me your real name now." ”
The corners of Zhou Dashuai's mouth pulled out a smile: "Yes, I have lied to you for so long, but you have always trusted me like this." In the next week, Lunxu, the word Dingguo, is considered a fugitive military household. ”
"Hahaha, if you escape, Da Ming has suffered heavy losses."
"The lord laughed, in the Ming Kingdom, there are many people like Dingguo......"
"So how about bringing them to Kanto?" Tsukahara Moryū suddenly spoke.
Zhou Lunxu's pupils shrank slightly, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head: "I understand what the lord means, but in the Ming Kingdom, a military household like me can't leave the region to which he belongs casually." ”
Seeing Zhou Lunxu's refusal, Tsukahara Molong did not force it, but said, "Then how about you arrange for me to meet Wang Zhi?" ”
"I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses."
The originally festive party was overshadowed by Zhou Lunxu's plan to leave, but Tsukahara Molong didn't care much, as a crossing party, he had a way to let Zhou Lunxu stay. What really made him care was the meeting with Wang Zhi, and he didn't let him wait long, and Wang Zhi, who learned that Tsukahara Molong wanted to see him, rushed to Xiaojincheng overnight.
"Wang Zhi thanks my lord for taking care of my Ming relics, if you need any help, please don't be polite." To Tsukahara Molong's surprise, Wang Zhi, the famous maritime overlord in Asia, wore the armor of a Ming military general, and his appearance was very ordinary, and even his eyes looked no different from an honest middle-aged uncle. As soon as he came up, Wang Zhi expressed his gratitude to Molong Tsukahara for taking care of Zhou Lunxu, and he didn't have the slightest intention of taking a shelf.
"Mr. Wang doesn't have to be polite, Dingguo and I hit it off at first sight, and it can be regarded as a poor friend, and now that I can be today, he has also contributed a lot." Tsukahara Molong said politely. "It's just that I have some doubts, and I ask my husband to give me advice."
Wang Zhi showed a look of confusion on his face, obviously surprised that Tsukahara Molong could speak such fluent Ming vernacular, but he still gave in again and again, "Don't dare to say that you will teach, please speak." ”
"I heard that Daming now has a population of 10,000, I don't know if it's true or not?"
As soon as Daming was mentioned, Wang Zhi's face showed unconcealed pride, "Although the exact number of people is on the side of the household, it is only a lot more." ”
"With such a large population, even the Heavenly Empire is a little unbearable, right?" The corners of Tsukahara Molong's mouth gradually raised a strange arc.
When Wang Zhi heard this, he didn't speak, just stared silently at Tsukahara Molong's eyes, and the numbness in his eyes was gradually replaced by sharpness, "Your Excellency wants me to move the people of the Ming Dynasty here?" ”
"That's right." Tsukahara Molong did not hide it at all: "I heard that the Ming Dynasty originated from the two major tribes of Yan and Huang, and after thousands of years of development, it has today's vast territory, I think those people who live in the Ming Dynasty are very difficult, and they will also be very willing to continue the path of their ancestors, right?" "The local complex is the imprint in the bones of the thousands of years of agricultural civilization of the Celestial Empire, unless it is really a last resort, no one will be willing to take the initiative to relocate, so Tsukahara Molong first moved out of the history of the rise of the Celestial Empire to block Wang Zhi's words.
After thinking for a moment, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "How do you plan to settle these people of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Tsukahara Molong knew that the real meat drama had arrived, and Wang Zhi could become the overlord of the Asian seas, which was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface, and if he couldn't take something to impress, Wang Zhi would never let go. "I intend to comprehensively promote Sinology in my territory, introduce the Ming writing and language system into the education system, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will be mixed with the people under my rule, and everything will be treated equally."
Advancing Sinology! Introduce the written language of the Ming Dynasty into the education system! Is this the rhythm of the culture that is going to perish? Wang Zhi, who has also been familiar with poetry and books since childhood, does not know the importance of education and culture, the rise and fall of the Celestial Empire for thousands of years, and has never broken off the Han Dynasty, the key to which is the huge vitality of the cultural system that can assimilate almost everything, if it is really a large-scale introduction of immigrants and then the introduction of culture, the entire RB has the possibility of being assimilated by the Ming Dynasty. This alone was enough to make Wang Zhi swallow his saliva, and Tsukahara Molong's next words made him even more unable to sit still.
"Within my domain, all the coasts will be open to the sir's fleet, and I can pay for the construction of a residence for the sir, and the sirr will only have to relocate the people there, at the same rate as the local merchants."
If the condition just opened is to make it difficult for Wang Zhi to refuse emotionally, then now the benefits given by Tsukahara Molong are real benefits, although there is no very good port in Tsukahara Molong's territory now, but a few days here, Wang Zhi has already studied the nearby situation, Sagami, Izu, Kamiso and Anfang are surrounded by the natural harbor that makes him salivate, even in later generations, it is also where the famous Tokyo Bay is located, and the unification of Kanto is imminent, Then it is very important for him to book a good port in advance. No matter where they were, the daimyo would levy heavier taxes on foreign merchants, both to increase their income and to protect local merchants, but for Tsukahara Moryū, there was no such concern at all, and as the largest arms dealer in this era, it can be said that the expansion of cooperative relations with Wang Zhi was of great significance to the development of the Tsukahara family. As for whether Wang Zhijiu will occupy the magpie's nest, Tsukahara Molong is even less worried, and in another eight years, Wang Bengu will be born...... This is not to say how Wang Bengu is, but Wang Zhi's heart is determined by the reality that the court and the court do not trust him, even if there is no Wang Bengu, there will be Li Bengu, Zhang Bengu will kill him.
