Chapter 496: The Last Island Country
For Daming, Lanzhu Province is not a particularly important province, very suitable for the pilot, in case of failure to start over, for Daming, will not hurt the muscles and bones, if successful, for other provinces in Daming to provide reference experience. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lanzhu Province is now dominated by indigenous people, and they don't even have their own writing, that is, the Han people living in this land are also illiterate, and this kind of electoral system can reflect how much the will of the whole people, Zhu Youzhen can't say, but the establishment of the electoral system is not an overnight thing, nor is it the result of pressure from power, it must go through years of accumulation, go deep into the blood and bone marrow of the people, and the advantages of this system will be truly reflected.
Now Zhu Youzhen is just using the experience of his later generations to cultivate the electoral consciousness of the people in Lanzhu Province, and at the same time use this system to accelerate the local sinicization.
At present, Lanzhu Province has Zhu Youzhen as its guide and the South China Sea Fleet as its escort, and there should not be incidents of Hong Kong's "Occupy Central," Taiwan's "Million Masses March," or Thailand's "Blue Shirts and Red Shirts" facing each other in the streets, and when necessary, the South China Sea Fleet will also carry out armed intervention.
Although Jin Yiwei has lost the right to arrest and interrogate, he can report everything he sees to Zhu Youzhen at any time, so that the imperial court can take countermeasures as soon as possible.
The Ming Dynasty recovered Lanzhu Province, so that the Han people living abroad completely got rid of the slavery of the Westerners, and truly became the masters of the island.
Even the natives on the island can also experience the sweetness of the Han people's government, in the main theme of the Han people's advance, the vast majority of the natives will also follow the advance, blocking the advance of Lanzhu, after all, only a few people.
Moreover, the population base of the Han people is huge, and when necessary, the imperial court will also adopt a policy of immigration, so that these natives will drown in the torrent of Han people.
Once the Lanzhu system is proven to be successful and can be implemented in practice, Zhu Youzhen will implement it in Nanyang and even Guangdong Province, and then other identities in the mainland, and when the fifteen provinces in the interior are basically mature, and the Ming Dynasty implements the electoral system throughout the country, it will be a matter of ripe melons.
Taking a step back, if Lanzhu's electoral system fails, only Lanzhu Province will be lost, and with Zhu Youzhen at the helm, Lanzhu's system will not be much worse.
When Zhu Youzhen left Lanzhu Island, Zheng Zhilong personally escorted Zhu Youzhen to the west, and the South China Sea Fleet detachment stationed in Siwu almost poured out.
Including the "Nanhai," there were a total of six Guangzhou ships, 18 Fu ships, dozens of Cangshan ships, and transport ships, which temporarily served as Zhu Youzhen's bodyguards.
The clear blue waves were divided into countless pieces by the rudder, countless whirlpools arose on the surface of the sea, and behind the ship, strings of foam stretched for hundreds of steps like the tail of the ship.
Zhu Youzhen and Zheng Zhilong stood side by side on the deck of the "Nanhai", Wang Mujiu leaned back slightly, and Fu Xiaojian held the hilt of the sword, standing behind Zhu Youzhen's side, like a bodhisattva.
"Master, where will we stop next?" Zheng Zhilong had long seen that the focus of Zhu Youzhen's southern tour should be Lanzhu Province, but it was rare for him to come to Nanyang once, and the rest of the provinces might be inspected by the way.
"What's next?" Zhu Youzhen stared at the various ships guarding the surroundings, although they were not battleships in the real sense, but in the era of sails, the gap between various ships was not large.
Westerners have been sailing for a long time, the design of ships is more advanced, not only the tonnage of the ship is large, the ship's side is high, and the number of artillery is also large, but the Ming Dynasty is large in size, the number of ships is large, and the number of ships is more than less, and the Ming Dynasty has begun to build professional warships, and is gradually narrowing the gap with Western ships in terms of quality.
"Are there any problems in the management of the Nanyang provinces? How are the local natives? ”
"Luzon Province and Lanzhu Province, you have already seen it, there should be no problem," Zheng Zhilong crossed his hands and put his back behind his back, "Suwei Province is establishing a county from south to north, so there shouldn't be any big problem." ”
"What about Shunta Province and Daiyan Province?" Zhu Youzhen smiled, but he was calculating in his heart, how long would it take for the entire Nanyang to truly become the land of the Ming Dynasty.
"After fierce battles in Daiyan Province, especially the elimination of the remnants of Donghu, the local natives have long been returned to the heart, and it is the most successful province in the naturalization of the Nanyang provinces, and now about seventy percent of the natives have been naturalized, plus the original Han people, more than eighty percent of the total population should be registered as Han people, if the local prefecture and county are fully established, the population of the Han people may increase." The headquarters of the South China Sea Fleet is temporarily set up in Malacca, and Zheng Zhilong is also based in Malacca, a major transportation route, so he is most familiar with Shunta Province.
"Ao," Dai Yan Province guards the Malacca waterway, which is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty to control the South China Sea and go west to the Indian Ocean, and the people of Dai Yan Province are relieved, "What about Shunta Province?" ”
"Shunta Province is in some trouble," Zheng Zhilong drew his right hand and pointed to the left front, "When the Portuguese ruled, they gradually wiped out the native countries on the island from south to north, but Aceh, the northernmost part of the island, has not yielded. ”
"Aceh still refuses to give in to the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Youzhen's face was expressionless, and he was quite unhappy in his heart, Shu Chang just now was suddenly blocked by Shengsheng, and now he can't conquer this island, once the successors of the Western powers enter the Nanyang again, I don't know what will happen, if the Ming Dynasty completely owns this land, even if they come to Nanyang, at that time Nanyang has been all divided, and they can't find a suitable trading base at all.
"The soldiers are fighting, but there are mostly mountains, valleys and rivers here, and it is difficult to give full play to our advantages," Zheng Zhilong wiped the fine beads of sweat that suddenly appeared on his forehead, and carefully introduced the battle on the front line to Zhu Youzhen, "Don't worry, within three months, the South China Sea Fleet will complete the occupation of the Asian Territory!" ”
Zhu Youzhen looked into the distance, but this huge island was far out of his sight, "Zhilong, can you use peaceful means?" "These natives are different from Westerners, they are natives of this land, and they are not civilized, and they are likely to fight with the Ming army to the end.
Zhu Youzhen was not worried about the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, nor was he afraid of sacrificing some soldiers, but after the fierce war in the first half of the year, the Ming Dynasty now needed to recuperate, and the Ming Dynasty needed to conquer these lands as soon as possible and turn the occupation into reality before the arrival of the new Western powers.
"A means of peace?" Zheng Zhilong shook his head, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Master, before the war started, we sent an envoy to Aceh, but Aceh's Sudan ignored it at all. ”
"And now? After the loss of their troops, haven't they woken up? Zhu Youzhen asked lightly: "Could it be that their Su Dan, seeing their soldiers and civilians killed and wounded, can still be indifferent?" ”
"Master, now that I want to negotiate peace, there is no chance," Zheng Zhilong spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, "Aceh Sudan is already missing, maybe he died in battle, and it is their national teacher Wang Erlie who is temporarily in charge of Aceh." ”
"Wang Erlie? How does it look like a Han Chinese name? Zhu Youzhen suddenly remembered that there were many Han people on the island, and maybe when the Han people controlled the situation in Aceh, they might be willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty.
"It's true that Wang Erlie is a Han Chinese, but he is also a Muslim." Zheng Zhilong was influenced by Zhu Youzhen, and now he is also very disgusted with Muslims, and since Wang Erlie has converted to Muslims, there is no need for peace talks.
"Muslims?" Zhu Youzhen was furious, the Han people did not read the love of blood and water, and they forgot their ancestors, but they converted to this religion, "Zhilong, send a messenger to Aceh, and then refuse to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, the day the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow set foot on the city, there will be no chickens and dogs left on the island!" ”
"Master ......" Zheng Zhilong had never seen Zhu Youzhen make such a cold voice, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Treat the natives and overseas Han people, pay equal attention to grace and might," Zhu Youzhen still had a cold face, "Those who submit to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty should treat them as their own people, treat them well, let them taste the favor of the Ming Dynasty, and those who refuse to submit to the Ming Dynasty and even regard the Ming Dynasty as an enemy, the Ming Dynasty will also show the wrath of thunder, and the blood will not hesitate to fill the valley." ”
This was the first time that Zhu Youzhen was furious with the overseas Han Chinese.
Zheng Zhilong's bloodiness was completely stimulated by Zhu Youzhen, and he issued a military order to Zhu Youzhen, "Don't worry, we will definitely end the battle within a month!" Then he turned around and ran to the side of the ship, called a personal soldier, whispered a few words, and only returned to Zhu Youzhen's side when the personal soldier left.
"Zhilong, can you use the fleet to open up a second battlefield from the north and end the battle as soon as possible?" Zhu Youzhen knew that for the mountainous terrain, the soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet started from the south and advanced layer by layer is the most secure, but this is also the most stupid tactic, if the fleet can be used, the soldiers can be thrown into the northernmost part of the island to land, cut into the rear of the Aceh army, and flank the front and rear, it is the most effective means to quickly break the will of the Aceh people to resist, or it is not impossible to directly sneak attack and break the city of Aceh.
"Master, this kind of tactics has also been considered by his subordinates, and his subordinates have personally inspected the terrain of the island, but the northern coast of Aceh is mostly precipitous, and there is no tidal flat for soldiers to land," Zheng Zhilong was afraid that Zhu Youzhen would not know geography, so he continued to explain: "The northern sides of the island are washed by waves all year round, and almost all of them are cliffs. ”
It would be nice if there were a special combat team and a helicopter, Zhu Youzhen muttered to himself, although he asked Zheng Zhilong to send messengers to persuade him to surrender, but he didn't expect these envoys to play any role at all, most of them were when he slaughtered the city in the future, and gave himself a psychological comfort: It's not that I'm ruthless, I have already warned you, it's you who are obsessed and misleading yourself!
At this time, Fu Xiaojian slowly walked a few steps forward, approached Zhu Youjian, and said in a low voice: "Master, maybe we can try!" ”
