The king of Burma, who had a broken name, did not make any irrational choice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the Donghu Dynasty had already been declining, and there was no comparison with the era of Mang Yinglong, and it should have perished in another thirty years in the actual normal history......

It's actually good for him as well.

Otherwise, it won't be long before the Siamese will attack the plains of the lower Irrawaddy River, and the Tusi of the Shan people in northern Burma will also have to take up his territory.

Besides, what can you do if you don't pay tribute?

Do you want to talk to Zheng?? In the same way, the body was burned into a fried sparrow, and the head was smeared with preservatives and sent to Nanjing as an exhibit?

Emperor Yang was also very satisfied with his knowledge, and then officially gave him the canonization of the king of Burma, and awarded him a golden seal crown, etc., and clarified the border between Burma and Siam in the form of a holy decree, which also ended the war between the two countries, after all, Emperor Yang did not want Siam to become bigger. Including the scope of the jurisdiction of the Tusi of various ethnic groups in northern Myanmar has also been clarified, which is actually equivalent to separating these Tusi from Burma, because they themselves have become vassals of the Ming Dynasty, the same as the king of Burma, but the title is lower than that of the vassal king, in essence, there is no longer a question of who rules whom, they are all the courtiers of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

In fact, it is similar to the chaotic relationship between the princes in the Spring and Autumn Period.

With the submission of the Burmese king, the Ming Dynasty completely completed the ruling structure of the Indochina Peninsula, and canonized a total of eight vassal states of Annam, Chenla, Laos, Siam, and Burma, as well as more than 20 princes of the same vassals. This kind of Tusi country is not only in Burma, some local small warlords in Siam have also been canonized of a similar nature, anyway, the more such things, the better, Emperor Yang is not afraid to seal hundreds, the more convenient it is for him to control. These vassal internal affairs are autonomous, the imperial court has set up a prime minister in the kingdom, and a minister of consolation in the Tusi country, but these ministers have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the vassals, and those small monarchs can squeeze their people as much as they like, anyway, the money squeezed out of it finally fell into the hands of Ming merchants, which is actually similar to the British rule of India in the original history. Similarly, for the Ming people in these vassal states, these vassal states also have no right to manage, including crimes must also be handed over to the garrison ministers, and the same vassal states have no right to collect taxes from them, these Ming merchants in their territory only pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty, and these vassal states have to pay different amounts of offerings to the imperial court every year according to different circumstances, similar to the nature of the poll tax collected by the Dutch in the East Indies.

After completing these tasks, the rest of the little monarchs will be able to do whatever they like.

As for the contradictions between vassal states......

This court will deal with it impartially.

As for what kind of justice, it depends on who is more deferential to the court.

That's what it is, anyway.

In fact, it is enough to treat these guys favorably, you must know that the chaotic monarchs of the Spice Islands and Luzon Islands, because they have not yet received official status because they believe in the Xie religion, they can only be regarded as indigenous chiefs, and theoretically have to be under the jurisdiction of local officials of the Ming Dynasty. The worst thing is that the two sultans on the island of Java have no land and subjects, only a sultan's palace and a thousand acres of land specially given by the emperor, and they can still receive some subsidies from the imperial court every year to make a living. And then the sultans of Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, the Luzon Islands, and the Spice Islands are gradually moving towards the same end, anyway, as long as the sultanates who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, they were all like this.

Even if the Sultan did not participate, it would be a matter of inaccessibility.

This situation must be punished, but fortunately, the emperor is merciful, and only deprives the dependencies, but retains the title and private property.

As for the Sultan himself, who participated in the rebellion, then he would be killed and the country would be completely destroyed.

At this time, in addition to the two sultanates of Aceh and Medan, the vast majority of the sultanates in Nanyang have been solved in this way, and the only one who survived was Brunei, because it was more honest, the Sultan of Brunei has always strictly controlled his own country, and finally Brunei did not have any activities against the Ming Dynasty, so the Sultanate of Brunei maintained its original territory, but the domestic economy was completely controlled by Ming merchants, especially imperial oil. It is said that the Sultan was studying a change of faith so that he could officially join the ranks of the Ming vassal kings, because the name Sultan did not exist in the Ming title system at all, so although he had a vast territory comparable to that of Chenla, he could only be said to be an indigenous chieftain.

As for the two sultans of Aceh and Medan......

It depends on when the Ming army will completely purge the rebels in various places.

"Who else?"

Emperor Yang sat on the deck of his yacht basking in the sun and muttered to himself.

He wondered who else around him hadn't surrendered, but when he thought about it, there was really no one left.

There was only one Wa state left in the East, and it had not yet formally submitted to his feet.

In fact, in recent years, under the instigation of Ming merchants, the Wa Kingdom has once again entered the Warring States Period, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi and Shimazu Tsunaki are still continuing their wars, and the main battlefield is still in Kansai, and the two sides have sawed Kansai into a river of blood.

Because Tokugawa Tsunayoshi forced the emperor to death, the Sendai Domain and several northeastern feudal clans formed an alliance and joined the ranks of the downfall, but they and the Shimazu Alliance were not a group, and the Date family wanted to be a general instead of praising Shimazu Tsunaga, so that the Wa Kingdom had formed a pattern of three alliances fighting together.

For this country, Yang Feng has no interest in caring about it, when this group of Europe is over, and when he will reach out to the country again.

This country has no resources, and the only thing worth starting is the gold and silver mines, but at this time, Yang Feng has a gold mine in the Golden State, and the Golden State Company has found the original historical Cunnington silver mine in the north of the Golden State, so the production of silver will also increase significantly, and overseas trade will also earn a large amount of gold and silver. And the next step is to use gold mines to attract domestic immigrants to the western Golden State and the Americas, with Kalgoorlie gold mines and California gold mines to join, the future Ming will definitely not lack gold and silver to support the economy, and even he has to control the speed of the influx of precious metals to avoid inflation.

In this way, the little gold and silver of the Wa Kingdom was not attractive to him.

It is more beneficial for him to scavenge slaves through this group beating of the Japanese country, you must know that the Japanese slaves are becoming more and more popular in the Ming Dynasty, although these short slaves are not better at work than other slaves, but they are cheap!

The main trouble of the slave trade is the mortality rate during transportation, but it is transported from the nearby Wa country, there is no mortality problem at all, that is, it is a little dangerous when Yan is cut, but at this time, the Ming Dynasty's cutting technology has been very perfect, after all, practice makes perfect, after cutting millions, it is difficult to think about the technology if it is not perfect, so it is rare to cause death when performing this kind of operation, and even those masters can complete the entire operation in a few seconds.

Of course, the obedience and obedience of the Japanese slaves is also a very important reason for their popularity.

In this case, Yang Feng's principle for the Wa State is very simple, that is, to throw it aside.

Further west is the Mughal Empire and those small countries under the Himalayas, such as Ahong, Bhutan, Nepal is usually more used to be called Gurkha now, and there are other small nomadic khanates such as Kokand, Bukhar and Kazakh in Central Asia, and further west is Persia and the Ottoman Empire, and Afghanistan at this time was divided between the Mughal Empire and Persia. As for the Arabian Peninsula, it is mainly Oman's territory, which is different from the modern Omani muogers, Oman at this time is very wide, not only the outer part of the Arabian Peninsula, but also a large part of East Africa is their territory, basically these countries within Asia.

The real opponents in this are the Mughal Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Persian Empire, and the Omani Navy is okay, but it is not worth mentioning in front of the Ming army.

Of course, in fact, in front of the Ming army, no matter who it is, it is not worth mentioning.

"Your Majesty, it's time to Changguo."

Emperor Yang was strategizing, Yang Zhong whispered beside him.

"Change!"

Yang Feng said.

Immediately after that, more than a dozen little palace maids immediately rushed forward to help His Majesty the Emperor into the cabin, and then took off the civilian clothes he was wearing and changed into a ceremonial dress, that is, his twelve crowns and twelve chapters.

At the same time, his royal yacht sailed into the port of Changguk, but did not continue to dock, for just outside the harbor a fleet was waiting for his review, a total of six of the latest propeller-driven steam-powered sailboats, neatly lined up on the azure sea, and a crew member in scarlet uniform stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, with the muzzles raised upwards behind him, but it was not the naval flag fluttering above their heads.

There, in addition to the Ming flag, there is also a flag that is also red but has a circular dragon and phoenix pattern, and an oracle bone inscription in the middle.

Well, this is the banner of the Daming Yinzhou company.

Just like the Golden State Company back then, the Yinzhou Extension Company, which was also invested and established by Emperor Yang, will be fully responsible for the future development of the western part of the Americas.

And this is the first batch of pioneering groups to go to Yinzhou.

"What's your name?"

Emperor Yang's royal yacht slowly sailed in front of the fleet, while his roar echoed across the sea.

"Descendants of Yan Huang!"

Immediately after that, all the sailors on the six armed merchant ships shouted in unison.

Compared with the fleet that sailed to the Americas for the first time, this fleet is quite powerful, although the six ships are armed merchant ships, but they are actually unprotected cruisers, each with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, of course, it is also a ton of Ming standards, in addition to the two 80-pound guns in the front and rear, there are also four twin-mounted 15-pound retreat guns, and the firepower is so strong that it is difficult to find opponents at least on the west coast of the Americas.

Actually, it should be said that it is invincible.

These armed merchant ships also have a battalion-sized Marine Corps.

Of course, it is also the private army of Yinzhou Company.

"What is your mission?"

Yang Feng continued to roar.

"The power of the emperor is in the four seas, and the mission is in all nations!"

The crew continued to roar.

They would then sail along the Ryukyus, Guam, and Midway, which was actually Wake Island, and Yang Feng didn't know why his men named this small island Midway Island when they were building a supply depot, and then sailed eastward along the line of Yuanqiao or Hawaii to Yinzhou, which is the coast of California, and established the first trading post in San Francisco, which was named Jinshan.

In other words, Yang Feng can't help it, in order to attract the common people, he must make his name vulgar, what can attract immigrants more than a name like Jinshan?

"What is your mission?"

Yang Feng shouted again.

"Let the Yin people who have been away from home for 3,000 years return to the arms of their relatives!"

The crew roared.

After establishing a trading base, they will start a full-scale trade with the Indians, which is simply to support the Indians and drive them to the east, and the way is very simple......

Slave hunting.

If it is a normal force, you can use the silver mines in Nevada, the gold mines in Arizona, and the super copper pit in Salt Lake City to lure them, but the semi-primitive people like the Indians play this too high-end, beyond the scope of their minds, but they must understand and like the work of catching slaves, as long as the Yinzhou company buys white slaves from them.

They know it.

In fact, at this time, the power of the white people was far from reaching the western part of the Americas, and both the Spaniards in the south and the French in the east were still far away from the west, and the area was basically still in the pure natural state of the Indians.

Yang Feng is not very interested in immigrating to the Americas for the time being, because it will be difficult for him to make the people of the Ming Dynasty really interested in that distant land for at least thirty or fifty years, and there will be immigrants, but the number will definitely not be so large that they will conflict with the Indians. And then after the Europeans lost their eastern colonies, they would increase their immigration to the Americas, and what he had to do was to lure the Europeans, that is, to use the things he just said, gold, silver, copper mines, etc., to lure the European colonists to start their westward movement in advance, and then lure the Indians to capture these colonists and sell them to the Ming as white slaves.

Well, he's really bad.

It's outrageously bad.

The result of this is that the whites and Indians are becoming more and more incompatible, the two sides continue to kill each other, and he plays the role of a fisherman in the back, when the whites and Indians bleed each other, it is almost time for the Ming population to explode and need to emigrate to relieve the pressure, and then it is easy to take over this vast continent.

Of course, the process will be long.

And now, that's just the beginning.

"Now, then, I, in my capacity as Emperor Ming, command you, to hoist your sails, to burn your steam, to spin your propellers, and to set your warships moving.

To the East!

To the East!

Heading to the East! ”

Emperor Yang roared excitedly. (To be continued.) )
