Chapter 734: The Colonial Era Is Coming
In addition, the lord of the Borneo kingdom hoped that the Chinese Empire could help, and the Borneo kingdom was deeply influenced by the Han people, so it was far better than the other tribes on this large island in terms of behavior. But those tribes were constantly harmful, and the Borneo kingdom was often attacked.
Therefore, I hope that the Chinese Empire can help them to calm those barbarian rebellions. As the captain of the expedition, Chen Liang, one of the guards beside Ben Gongzi back then, immediately patted his chest and agreed to the lord of the country.
And in order to dispel the doubts in the heart of the Borneo lord, Chen Liang took the lord to see the expedition fleet of the Huaxia Empire with his own eyes. Although they are only used for exploration, they are all huge ships between 250 and 300 tons.
At least after seeing these warships, which were far taller than his own thatched huts, the heart of the Lord of the Borneo Kingdom fell completely.
It is said that the territory of the lord of Borneo is a large piece of land compared to this large island, and the rest of the world is occupied by cannibals who have not yet established a state and do not even know how to make fire.
And Chen Liang, the former guard who is deeply familiar with Bengongzi's ability to eat meat and not spit out bones, asked the lord of the Borneo state to sign a mutual assistance agreement between the suzerainty and the vassal state, that is, it is okay for us to help you, but first of all, the territory that has been beaten belongs to the suzerain, in addition, the suzerainty has the right to garrison troops in the Borneo country, and the army of the suzerainty has the obligation to help the Borneo state pacify all opposition forces and maintain the dominance of the vassal royal family over the country.
After asking many ministers in the country, the lord of the Borneo kingdom finally made a decision to initialize this agreement with the expedition fleet of our Chinese Empire, and after the envoys of the Borneo Kingdom went to Chang'an to pay tribute, he would present this initialed agreement to me, His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Chinese Empire, and after I had stamped the jade seal, then this agreement could take effect.
Just when I saw my eyebrows fluttering and I almost shouted loudly, an eyeless guy came out and said loudly. "Your Majesty, do you think it's okay?"
"Oh? Why do you say that? "I'm looking at the past with some curiosity, this guy seems to be a newcomer, well, as a corner of the imperial history, the imperial history is also an official position dedicated to the nature of supervision, the imperial history of the Han Dynasty is under the leadership of the imperial history, according to the position is divided into the imperial history and the imperial history, before the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty changed the assassin history to the state pastor, the assassin history of the Han Dynasty is also a supervisor, and it is also a kind of imperial history.
During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei placed the imperial history in the palace in the palace, recorded the movements of the imperial court, and corrected the hundreds of officials and ceremonies. During the Western Jin Dynasty, there were many names in the imperial history, and it was the first of the special positions in the imperial history of the later generations, including the imperial history of supervising the transport, the imperial history of the Fujie, and the imperial history of the inspection school. In the former Sui Dynasty, the imperial history of the school was changed to supervise the imperial history, and the imperial history of the palace and the two servants of the book stood side by side.
In a word, depending on who violates the law or something, they will jump out to correct it, but I don't want to, but someone actually jumped out and said no? The problem is that my Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire didn't ask anyone to discuss anything, but just shared a piece of good news with everyone, why did this guy jump out, looking heartbroken and ready to dig out his heart and lungs?
"Your Majesty is asked to cure Chen Liang for the crime of being arbitrary." The imperial historian stood up and said to me with a righteous face. "Your Majesty, General Chen's unauthorized assertion of signing a treaty with a vassal state without reporting to the court is a crime of arbitrariness."
Looking at this guy's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and then looking at the many important ministers of the court around him who were originally happy but now became embarrassed, this son took a deep breath. Although he really wanted to jump up and kick this guy, he was not wrong, or rather, Chen Liang's approach was indeed inappropriate.
Because I did not decree that the expeditions should be allowed to act cheaply, nor did I allow them to occupy and explore, but I did not expect that there would be an intersection with these indigenous nations.
In addition to Chen Liang, many of my son's past guards were sent to the south by me and became the leaders of these expeditions, why? It is because they understand how desperate I, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, are to be the head of colonial imperialism.
How much I hope to obtain the scarce resources of the Chinese Empire from those strange places, and even more hope to see a large area of strange and fertile land, occupy them as own, and let these territories become a place for the people of the Chinese Empire to live and work in peace and contentment.
It is precisely because of their long-term exposure to the colonialism that Ben Gongzi has pioneered and developed is deeply rooted in their minds, so they must be able to let them go to another historical time and space in the Western Barbarian Colonial Age of Discovery, and only they are the most suitable.
After a long pause, I nodded at the Imperial Historian. "Qing's words are very reasonable, but there is one point, I want to explain first, when Chen Qing and the others went to the South China Sea, I repeatedly told you and others that they must try to seek benefits for the country, but I did not expect that on the Nanban Islands, there are also tribes who are willing to join the Chinese tribe and are willing to join the domain.
Hearing my words, the ministers of civil and military affairs present also bowed their heads in agreement. And seeing that the imperial historian was still about to speak, I smiled and waved my hand. "However, that was only my private advice to them, and it never fell on the paper, so it is indeed against the laws and regulations of the country. In this way, I decided that Chen Liang would be demoted to the fourth level and recorded a major demerit to see the after-effects. Of course, because it was Chen Qing who was dealing with the Baltic State, if we took his post from this, then it would definitely cause panic among the new vassals, so I thought it would be better to continue to let him take his original post temporarily. ”
After finishing talking about Chen Liang's disposition, I spit out the turbidity in my chest and smiled at the Wenwu in the hall. "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty is very kind to deal with this, and the minister seconded it." The Imperial Historian bowed down in satisfaction and replied in a loud voice. Then, a large number of civil and military ministers fell to the ground. However, many generals looked left and right with ghostly reverence, and the look of this imperial historian was not very kind.
"Chen Qing's fault, and before the country has a plan, he will make his own decisions. But does anyone dare to say that he did something wrong? "After I raised my hand to let all the civil and military forces get up, there was another but.
"Chen Qing's approach is not only conducive to the country of the Southern Barbarians, which is far away from the ocean, but also knows the prestige of my China, and also knows the benevolence of my China...... Ladies and gentlemen, can Chen Liang have merit? ”
"Your Majesty, Major Chen does have merit, but the law of the country is greater than heaven, and the law cannot tolerate mercy or favoritism." At this time, Wei Zheng stood up and bowed deeply to me.
"I know this truth, that's why I feel sorry for Chen Qing, this matter, in fact, I should be blamed, if I can think it through, then Chen Qing will not be ......" I sighed and sat behind the imperial case. According to my will, all the leaders of the expedition have the right to make decisions on the spot, and as long as it is beneficial to the country and meritorious to the country, they will not be held accountable afterwards. ”
Hearing this, the Chinese martial arts of the palace were shocked, and the faces of the military generals showed surprise on their faces, while Wen Chen looked at each other in shock.
The old uncle frowned and came out, walked to Wei Zheng's side, and said to me: "Your Majesty, give the army the right to make decisions on the spot, and the minister has nothing to say, but after all, there needs to be a limit, otherwise it ......."
"Uncle's intentions, I know very well, of course, I will not hold him accountable, there is an additional condition, that is, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, can you understand?" I nodded, understanding what my uncle meant, that is, he was afraid that a large number of veteran ruffians would run out to kill people and set fires, and then put on an expression of disgusting and weeping for the country and the people. “…… Since we want to develop a wider land in Huaxia, we must have more manpower to build the foundation for our Huaxia Empire. Do you understand? ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order" Han Shige was overjoyed and rushed over to bow his head first, and then bowed to the ground with all the civil and military votes, singing praises.
It's not a good idea, but the problem is that I know very well that if you want to truly assimilate a foreign race, you must first make those peoples feel fear and awe. Therefore, in order to show the ministers that this prince is also a benevolent monarch, I specially added the premise that if people do not offend me, I will not offend others. In addition, he also reminded these generals that even if they want to obtain a wider land, they must first have someone to do the dirty work for the people of the Chinese Empire and engage in advanced construction.
You can't let the Chinese people who immigrated to the past have to build roads and mine by themselves, right? Today, almost all of the people in the Chinese Empire who work in mining are prisoners of war, and even displaced people are rare.
In the end, although Wen Chen still complained a little, he couldn't say too much, after all, I had already expressed my attitude, but these veteran ruffians would go to the far away place of the Tiangao Emperor in the future, and they were about to wield the butcher's knife, and they could only stare at it.
Of course, the current focus is still mainly on Luzon, and it is not too late to slowly explore other islands after Luzon is developed and built. Because I have decided to make Luzon a completely self-sufficient transit point that can even support future exploration of the South Seas and Australia.
As for the big island where Borneo is located, it should be a place for military training, well, we can train a Chinese Empire expeditionary force suitable for forest warfare in advance, and in the future, we can completely control the Nanyang Islands in our hands.
This opinion soon won the full support of all the generals, believing that my approach was a strong guarantee for the Chinese Empire to control the Nanyang Islands. In addition, the first ocean-going fleet of the Chinese Empire was established, and Zhou Shaoji, the current commander of the Jiaozhi Fleet, will serve as the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Fleet.
At present, Zhou Shaoji's elder brother Zhou Shaofan is the commander-in-chief of the Hancheng Water Division, and the two brothers have two brushes for water warfare, so I am very relieved to hand over the water division to them.
In addition, I also ordered the construction of permanent cement piers on the islands of Cochin and Hainan, as well as on the islands of Borneo and Luzon, where Borneo is located. It facilitates later migration and transportation of mineral deposits to these areas, as well as trade.
