In fact, the meaning of Zhu Han's words to Tang He was to let Duan Gong's rule in India not pursue any car and track book and same text.

Although Duan Gong was a native of Dali, he was exposed to a lot of Central Plains thoughts, and in order to consolidate and facilitate his rule, he would definitely require his subordinate people and lords to pursue unity in language and writing.

But the continent of India was originally a fragmented land, and the lords of all sizes used different languages and scripts, and if Duan Gong used his powerful means to pinch them together, it would be equivalent to creating a huge group in disguise.

This huge group, which seemed to be harmless to humans and animals at the beginning, was able to make Duan Gong's rule smooth and abnormal.

But people will always change, and there will always be thoughts.

In a few hundred years, the people of India will awaken one day.

And tens of millions of people speaking the same language and script will give them a strong sense of national identity.

At that time, it was the end of the rule of the foreign colonizers in India.

Therefore, Zhu Han absolutely did not want to see an Indian continent with a unified mind and writing.

The various forces on the Indian continent must be as fragmented as possible, although it will make the rule of Duan Gong and Da Ming more cumbersome and inconvenient, but overall it is still very favorable.

After Tang He finished explaining these words, Duan Gong's whole person was already stupid.

He never thought that in the Ming Ying Heavenly Mansion, which was thousands of miles away from India, King Zhu Han of England would be able to accurately grasp the pulse of civilization on the Indian continent just by relying on some rumors and historical records.

Moreover, it is the kind that hits the door with a pinch.

To be honest, although Duan Gong was a minister to Daming before, and he sent someone to send his son as a hostage, his sense of identity and awe for Daming was not very deep in his heart.

Duan Gong only regarded Daming as his backer in a foreign country, and when Duan Gong completely gained a foothold in Bangladesh and no longer needed Daming to provide support, he would not hesitate to kick Daming away.

But now Duan Gong definitely didn't dare to have this idea.

Thousands of miles away, His Royal Highness Zhu Han has already grasped the life of the Indians, and he must have guessed what he is hiding in his heart.

The so-called East India Company was definitely not an ordinary firm.

Once one day he betrays the Ming Dynasty, the East India Company, that is, the British King Zhu Han behind it, will definitely have countless ways to abolish himself.

I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend a book-chasing app,! It's really easy to use, driving, before going to bed rely on this reading aloud to pass the time, you can download it here.. 】

When Duan Gong thought of this, the cold sweat on his body was already soaking through his clothes.

"Brother Duan, drink!" The soup and a sentence made the wine glass in Duan Gong's hand tremble.

Duan Gong immediately smiled and resolved the embarrassment he had just had.

"Brother Tang, drink, drink!"

Throughout the banquet, Duan Gong couldn't help but regret his previous arrogance, but fortunately he didn't make any excessive moves.

It seems that from now on, I will sincerely show my loyalty to Daming.

His Royal Highness could have guessed that the turmoil on this continent might break out in a few hundred years, how could he hide his little caution from him?

In order not to make a big mistake and preserve the last bit of power and bloodline of the Duan clan in Dali, Duan Gong responded to the needs of the Ming fleet in the following days.

All Tang He or other Ming generals, or accompanying merchant ships, no matter what they wanted, Duan Gong Yigai strictly ordered his subordinates to implement 100%.

Like what water, grains, fruits, vegetables, meat, etc., that is the quality and quantity, the freshest is delivered every day.

As for the various spices produced in South Asia, they were also transported to the Ming merchant ships in baskets.

In order to relieve the pain of homesickness for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Duan Gong also ordered the Indian lords who submitted around him to gather more than 10,000 Indian girls to hold hands with the Ming soldiers in the new Dali City to relieve their boredom.

Such a huge number is enough for every Ming zombie to have an "Indian outer chamber".

The officers and men of the Ming fleet ate well, dressed well, and slept well here in New Dali.

Almost everyone, including Tang He, was a little bit of a happ.

In the end, if it hadn't been for the Persian merchant Maruari reminding Tang He, any further delay would have missed the monsoon and the fleet would have been unable to sail.

I'm afraid that Tang He and his Ming soldiers will stay in New Dali for a month.

Finally, under Tang He's order, the Ming soldiers waved goodbye to their Indian concubines on the dock.

On the ships are majestic and majestic Ming men, and on the shore of the wharf are Indian beauties dressed in saris, and the two sides are reluctant to look like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky.

In fact, the Ming soldiers are okay in their hearts, most of them are scumbag attributes, with their own ruthless characteristics, and there may be more beautiful women waiting for them in the next leg of the journey.

But these tearful Indian women are different, they are really sad, and they are really afraid that these Ming soldiers will not take them away when they come back.

Because these local women are basically from the lower caste.

After Duan Gong reached a cooperation with the local Brahmins, the Brahmanism, as a superior caste, has always claimed that these rulers from the East, they are also divine creators, and they are the upper caste on the same level as the Brahmin Kshatriyas.

These women from the lower castes usually have no chance to climb to the high branches of the upper castes.

Now, almost everyone has been assigned a high-caste Ming man, not only themselves, but their respective families have also benefited from it.

After Tang He led the Ming fleet to leave New Dali, Duan Gong immediately announced that all indigenous families who married the Ming soldiers would be exempted from the poll tax, and their daughters would also obtain the status of the Ming people, just waiting for the Ming soldiers to return, and after coming to New Dali again, they would be brought back to the distant rich and civilized Ming Empire.

Duan Gong's strategy was not only to show favor to the Ming generals in the fleet, but also to use this matter to continue to divide and disintegrate the local natives.

These middle and low castes who benefited from the marriage with the Ming soldiers will inevitably be different because of the special preferential treatment, and Duan Gong can continue to use his means to draw them into his camp in the future.

After all, in order to consolidate the rule in the region, it is difficult to establish a solid rule by relying only on the best Brahmin nobles, and it is necessary to make as many people as possible who are attached to their camp.

Dividing and disintegrating, forming gangs and factions is the best means of Duan Gong.

Since then, there have been more than 10,000 "quasi-Ming people" in the new Dali City.

I have to say that the officers and men of the Ming Navy are all fierce and fierce, and their combat effectiveness is absolutely outstanding, and after a few months, seventy percent of the Indian beauties have big bellies.

These middle- and low-caste indigenous beauties, when they think that they have noble Ming blood in their stomachs, they think about them day and night.

And the Ming soldiers who followed the Indian Ocean monsoon to the southwest no longer had the heart to think about the fruits of their dewy marriage at this time.

Because, the strange Indian Ocean, at this time, finally revealed his hideous face.

Although the speed of sailing under the ocean currents and monsoons was very fast, the storms and high temperatures along the way made these Ming soldiers suffer a lot.

Moreover, the Indian natives along the way showed full vigilance against the sudden appearance of the huge fleet, and all kinds of trade and trade were not very harmonious.

Fortunately, although the Indian continent was rich, Tang He's purpose in going to the West this time was not mainly for business, after understanding and mapping some basic geographical data, Tang He led the fleet to continue to move forward, towards the final destination of Persia, and set sail again.

Before leaving for Persia, Tang He's fleet sent some of his men back to Daming on the Persian merchant ships they encountered.

A lot of information and information have been accumulated along the way, and it must be transmitted back to the imperial court as soon as possible, otherwise no one knows when this trip to Persia will have the opportunity to return to the Ming Dynasty.

After more than a month of drifting at sea, several sailors of the Ming fleet finally arrived in Guangzhou on Persian merchant ships.

Then they took the imperial court's fast boat in Guangzhou and returned to Yingtianfu.

As an important piece of information about the Ming Dynasty's first trip to the West, the officials of Ying Tianfu reported to the emperor and the king of England as soon as possible.

Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty personally received him in the Fengtian Palace.

After learning Duan Gong's respectful attitude towards Da Ming, he also showed a pleased smile.

Later, according to the custom, he rewarded and comforted these soldiers who had returned hard.

When the ministers dispersed, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang immediately pulled Zhu Han and said.

"Seventy-five, is Tang He bragging in this secret report? How rich is it in India? ”

This kind of thing is naturally only for the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han.

The folds announced to the public in the court are only mainland goods.

Zhu Han read the secret report in his hand and said to the old brother with a smile.

"Tang He is an honest person, he can't brag, what he says is the truth!"

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was even more surprised.

"If it is really according to what Tang He said in the secret report, then there is no winter here in India, and crops can be grown all year round?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a farmer and naturally knows the importance of temperature for farming.

"Most of India doesn't have winter, but they have a dry season and a rainy season, and if the water conservancy project is not built, even if there is good weather, there is no way to farm, but in general, the conditions of the heavy land are much stronger than those in the Central Plains." Zhu Han said.

The magical Indian subcontinent is absolutely the most fertile in the world.

In modern society, India's agricultural science and technology is several streets worse than that of China, but with such a wide range of agricultural technology, it still feeds more than one billion people, and there are still large quantities of grain exports every year.

The reason for this is not that the low-caste untouchables are all animals and do not deserve food.

Another important reason is that India's land and water advantages are huge.

"Not only is the land fertile, but Tang He also plays, saying that high-quality iron ore is produced there, and the swords made can be extremely sharp without careful selection!" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Uzi steel, the sword made is tough and sharp, such a good ore, you don't need to be very high technology to make a magic weapon, which is also a great advantage of India." Zhu Han also had to admire.

"And there are gems, gold, spices! Such a fertile piece of land was given to Duan Gong so cheaply, which really distressed us! Zhu Yuanzhang said with some pity.

"It's not cheap, he occupies the area of Bengal, it's really not the most fertile and rich, India's Jinhua belt will go further to the northwest, that is, the territory of the current Delhi Sultanate, in the future, I will explore the sea route to the West, build a good base along the way, and you can continue to use the fleet to send a large army to conquer India!" Zhu Han has made no secret of his ambitions for India.

Historically, Britain was able to become an empire on which the sun never set, and won World War I and World War II one after another, including India's colonies to provide a steady stream of financial, material and human resources.

Such a dazzling pearl is next door to Daming, if Zhu Han doesn't get him to get it for Daming, it will definitely be regarded as a big crime.

It's just that it is really difficult to transport troops across thousands of miles of ocean, and the annexation of India can only be done step by step.

"Brother, I have also thought about it, if we want to annex India, let's first establish a stronghold with merchant ships, and then divide and disintegrate the local indigenous lords, and when they fall into civil strife, the army of the Ming Dynasty can officially enter, as long as a few princes and kings are divided into India, and then control some important seaport cities, it will not take two hundred years at most, and the entire Indian continent will be the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Han's words made the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang excited.

"Isn't the first step the East India Company you mentioned earlier?" Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked.

"That's right, let's first build an East India Company firm, this business can not only do business, but also have the power to levy taxes and recruit troops in India, I have roughly calculated that only fifty warships, plus 10,000 standing troops, can control one million lands and tens of millions of people in India, which is equivalent to having another wealth of Zhili!"

In fact, Zhu Han still calculates the cost of ruling India.

According to the fact that once the Indians gave in, they would kill the urine that did not resist, in fact, they might not need 10,000 standing troops.

During the period of British rule in India, the regular army was only a few thousand at its smallest, but it did not make the slightest change in the entire Indian continent.

"Great, in this case, the more you fight, the richer you get!" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but admire.

According to the Confucian officials in the court, the Ming Dynasty had now expelled the Mongols and begun to let the people recuperate, and if they continued to use troops to fight, the imperial court's finances would be stretched.

However, in the last two years, this narrative has gradually faded away.

Because under the auspices of Zhu Han, the pace of the Ming Dynasty's conquest has not stopped at all, but the treasury is becoming more and more abundant day by day, although the savings are not much, after all, there are more and more places to spend money.

"If you don't make money, what kind of war will you fight." Zhu Han laughed.

"Brother, our Daming East India Company will be the most profitable in the future."

"Therefore, this most lucrative business cannot be eaten alone, and more people must be involved!"

Zhu Han's words made Zhu Yuanzhang smell an unusual smell.

"Seventy-five, tell me what the hell do you have in mind?"

"Brother, our Daming East India Company, I am going to build it into a joint-stock system!" Zhu Han said solemnly.

"Joint-stock system? What is a shareholding system? Lao Guo Zhu Yuanzhang was full of curiosity and incomprehension about the novel words that popped up again.
