Chapter 300: The End of Provoking Da Ming
There is absolutely no possibility of harmony between the king of the east and the king, but the death of the rabbit and the fox are sad, and the death of Du Maban still makes Daha very uneasy.
"The king of the West provoked the Ming Dynasty, and saw that the number of warships of the Ming Dynasty was small, so he sent hundreds of ships to attack the Ming Dynasty, they didn't know that all the warships of the Ming Dynasty were real ironclad ships, not made of wooden planks, and the guns on the ironclad ships were very powerful, compared with these ironclad ships, the ships of the West King were like a three-year-old child, and they became planks with a slight collision."
"Ironclad?" The East King couldn't help but scream, "How is it an ironclad ship?" ”
"Yes, this is what the small people have seen with their own eyes. I heard that there are twenty ironclad ships, all of which are navy, and the total number of people does not exceed 10,000. ”
Although Dongwang had not studied mathematics, as a leader, he was still able to do simple calculations, and he probably pulled it in his heart, and calculated that there were less than five hundred people on such a large ship.
"Is there anything special on board? How did the ship move with so few people? ”
Especially if it's an ironclad ship, how heavy is that? Also, how could the ship not sink?
Lao Liangtou shook his head, "Xiao Min doesn't know, Xiao Min once heard a legend that said that Da Ming has become a fairyland, and their warship is actually an artifact, which does not need people to shake the oars, and can drive automatically, and the speed is as fast as lightning." ”
Liang Siyuan added on the side, "Their shells are very powerful, they can be fired continuously, and they are very powerful. All the ships and soldiers of the king of the west were dead, not a single one escaped, and the king of the west and the leader were all dead. ”
This is the fate of provoking Daming?
The East King's face turned white, and after he waved his hand to let the old Liang Tou and his grandson go down, he ordered someone to reward them, and then summoned the leaders of his subordinates to discuss, how to calm the anger of the Ming Dynasty, and let them know that the East and West are not the same country, and the East King should not be responsible for the stupid things that the West King did?
The island of Java is a very important port, where ships from the north and south have to supply or trade, and some enter the Strait of Malacca.
With a slight adjustment of the port, the warship's lap can be firmly connected to the protruding rock, and the armored vehicle drives out of the deck, through the lap, and slowly goes ashore.
The royal house where King Xi once lived was vacant, and when Zhu Gaoxian led the people in, the black slaves inside knelt on the ground, looking at the new master respectfully and full of fear.
Zhu Gaoxian did not discriminate, he just preferred to deal with creatures that are pleasing to the eye, especially those that are more eye-catching, so he instructed the dogs, "Let them go and work for the Ministry of Works, and don't stay in the palace." ”
"Yes!"
The dog led the black slaves to the people of the Ministry of Works, and he himself led the people to clean the inside and outside of the royal house, remove the utensils from the warship, and clean up the place into a more suitable place to live.
"Your Highness, the East King asks to see you!" Ma Sanbao came in and said.
"Let them kneel a little more outside, and, first, find out what is the purpose of their coming to this king? Do you want the king to support him to be the king of the whole island of Java? Or is there some other purpose. ”
Zhu Gaoxian wore socks and walked around the flower and grass mat, feeling the feeling of not wearing shoes, "You must know that this king has no interest in who is the king on Java Island, as long as he can ensure the personal and property safety of my Ming people on the island, and ensure that their interests are not violated." ”
Ma Sanbao responded, thought for a while, and said, "Your Highness, on the Three Buddhas Island, how is Liang Daoming?" ”
Zhu Gaoxian waved his hand, "If he can stabilize the Three Buddhas Island, this king can look at him." People's ambitions can't be too big, once Daming supports him to get Java Island, his power is unchecked, what will happen to him in the future? ”
It is not that Zhu Gaoxian does not trust these overseas Chinese who have immigrated out, but because of people's feelings, as time slowly passes, their feelings for their homeland will become more and more intense.
Of course, they were forced to leave their hometowns, and Daming has a certain responsibility, since they have been scattered in two, there must be a degree to continue the front edge.
With a little dialing, Ma Sanbao understood the truth, and he said, "Go down and talk to the East King." ”
"This king doesn't mind cultivating a force on the island of Java, there is no suitable person in front of him, if the king of the east knows the current affairs, this king is willing to give him a chance."
"Yes!"
The king of the east brought a large number of gifts, and the moment he saw Ma Sanbao, he asked people to present all the gifts, all jewelry, gold and silver, and no worthless souvenirs.
Ma Sanbao was very satisfied, let people serve tea, and said to the East King, "In the second year of Yongle, His Royal Highness the King sent a tribute to ask for a seal, and His Majesty gave it." Soon after, His Majesty rewarded the king and the princess with ramie, saros, curtains, hand towels, goat wine, utensils, and other things, and the reward was not insignificant. ”
Of course, the emperor's rewards are much thinner than those sent by the East King today. And at the beginning, whether it was the king of the east or the king, the gifts that were paid tribute to the emperor were not as affordable as today.
It's all peacocks, parrots and the like, in addition to keeping them good-looking and fresh, what use can they have?
It is enough to show the sincerity and jealousy of the East King to the Four Highnesses.
The East King hurriedly said, "Our country's admiration for the Heavenly Empire will remain unchanged for a long time, and we want to be the most loyal subjects of the Celestial Empire, and I also ask His Royal Highness for permission." “
Ma Sanbao is a sincere person, he doesn't have so many crooked minds to guess riddles with the other party, and said, "Your Highness's mind is broader than the sea, his heart can hold heaven and earth, and all those who are willing to dedicate their souls to him are qualified to be his subjects." ”
The king of the east bowed and thanked him, "Please also ask the envoy to bring our sincerity to Your Highness, as long as Your Highness is willing, our souls can be sacrificed to Your Highness at any time!" ”
"Your Highness does not need your sacrifices, Your Highness will leave his faithful subjects on the island, they will bring you a better life, do not harm his subjects, but help them."
King Dong hurriedly said, "We are willing to contribute to the cause of His Highness, and I also ask the envoy to convey our wishes to His Highness, and we will listen to His Highness's call at any time." ”
Zhu Gaoxian listened to Ma Sanbao's words and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will look everywhere to find a place that can be used to drill wells and divert oil. When you find a place, you have to build a base here, build a house, build an oil well, move down the equipment on the ship, and open up the wasteland here. They can be used by everyone. ”
Ma Sanbao wrote down Zhu Gaoxian's words and said, "Your Highness, how do you manage those people?" ”
"One penny a day, including food and lodging, and those who are willing to come to help with the work, as long as they behave well, we can take them in. If we stay here, we can demonstrate against the ruling class, but we must not offend the people at the bottom. ”
Ma Sanbao pondered, "Those people at the bottom have nothing. ”
"Yes, that's what a barefoot person is not afraid to wear. They have nothing to lose, there is only one life left that is precarious, why should the people be afraid of death if they are not afraid of death, this is the truth. ”
Zhu Gaoxian said, "As long as we give them a slightly better life than before, their hearts will be towards us." Not many people care, except for those racists, who rules them? What's more, we have no intention of ruling them at all. ”
In later generations, those colonial countries did not treat the common people of the colonies as human beings, wantonly destroyed those colonies, brutalized the local people, committed heinous crimes, and committed many crimes, and in the end, they had to end their rule very quickly.
The more they disdain the rule, the more they can actually buy the hearts of the common people, especially since they will provide a better life for the common people.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxian sat down on the Luohan bed he brought, and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, "I don't know what happened to the hybrid rice." The system is very unreliable, he developed the military of the Ming Dynasty, but he only got a pot of bean sprouts, if he could reward the hybrid rice, let the Ming developers point out a line of thought. ”
It's a pity that no!
Then the rice fields need to be expanded, and if the population is insufficient, then the fields have to be farmed by machines.
The second is to arrange for people to go to South America to bring potatoes and corn.
You can also get some coffee and come back and try it out.
Zhu Gaoxian's thinking was a little divergent.
Seeing this, Ma Sanbao thought that His Highness was thinking about something important, so he slowly retreated and closed the door, trying not to interfere with his train of thought.
Ma Sanbao brought those black slaves to Lu Wei of the Ministry of Industry, and told him His Royal Highness's order, "Your Highness said that there is no need to do that little family's thing, to abuse a human life for three or two money, I want resources for the sake of three or two money, and I don't want to do those things that harm living beings, so these black slaves, if you give me Daming to do things, at least treat them as human beings." ”
Lu Wei is a scholar, so he naturally understands this truth, and said busily, "Please rest assured, father-in-law, we will never do anything to disgrace our face." ”
More than 200 black slaves, who couldn't understand the language of the Ming Dynasty at all, used to work under the hands of the King of the West, did not eat enough three meals a day, and were often whipped and corporally punished, and everyone was covered with scaly wounds, and some of the scars were deep and visible.
The long summers here are hot, and they don't need to wear clothes all year round, so they only wear cloth around their waists, barely covering their lower bodies, and they are covered in black oil, which is even lower than the lowest natives on the island.
They are not allowed to enter their master's house, and they usually share the same room with the livestock.
Lu Wei is naturally not a philanthropist, but in the eyes of Ming scholars, there is a distinction between high and low in people's thoughts and knowledge, as well as in status and status, and there has never been a distinction between high and low races.
Because Confucius once said that there is no class in teaching.
Lu Wei asked these black slaves to be brought down, ordered these people to take a good bath, and in addition, gave them food to satisfy their hunger.
The men of the Ministry of Works led the slaves to the well, gave them several wooden barrels, and told them to wash their bodies first, and then led them into a very large room that had just been built.
