Chapter 455: Old Port Propaganda Division
Chen An also brought an envoy with him on this trip, this person is named Lin Yucheng.
He does not represent a country, but the old port city, the original Ming Old Port Xuanwei Division, which was briefly regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the people above were descendants of the Han Chinese, and when Zheng He's voyage to the West stopped, the local people were forced to submit to the Majapahit.
Standing at the bow of the ship in Dongqin at this moment, Lin Yu grew up, and his clothes were still in the style of the Ming Dynasty, except for his dark complexion, there was not much difference from the Ming people.
He looked at the sea, his eyes slightly squinting as if he had something on his mind.
Since the old port was forced to submit by the Majapahit, it has been rapidly decaying, and the good port has been captured.
The soldiers and civilians of the old port who were in distress had a very difficult life, and at this moment there was no decent gift to give to the monarch of the Eastern Qin Dynasty.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Yucheng felt a faint pain in his heart, he had been oppressed for a long time, and he had also hated the identity of the Han people.
It's just that as he gets older, he knows that the Han people in the old port have a hometown in Daming, which is an extremely powerful imperial court, far from being comparable to these islands.
Therefore, like his elders, he stubbornly adhered to the belief of Mazu and stubbornly wore the clothes of the Ming Dynasty.
Eastern Qin sent troops to call the shots for the Luzon Han people, and they only learned about this matter at the beginning of the year, when they learned that Eastern Qin called itself Huaxiaguo, Shi Xinghao, the old port consolation envoy, immediately prepared to send someone to contact.
After so many years, the Ming Dynasty has no hope, they only hope that this Huaxia country can be remembered in blood and family affection, and help the old port.
In fact, in another time and space, the Han Chinese of the Old Port Xuanwei Division eventually became the servants of the Dutch, and in their own way, became local agents.
Together with other Han people, they turned the entire Jawa and Sumatra into a world with a tax system, which is why there are so many rich Han people in Nanyang.
Of course, this is a bitter pain for ordinary Han people, who do not get much benefit, but want to become a catharsis for anger.
……
"Your envoy is so sad, but what is the inappropriate hospitality?" Chen An smiled and walked to the side.
Lin Yucheng changed his smile and said: "Governor Chen is already extremely favorable, but I don't have any good gifts for your monarch on this trip, so I am a little upset!" ”
"That's it? There is no need, my lord has never used the value of gifts to affect his judgment, everything is based on the fundamental interests of the country! Chen An explained.
Lin Yucheng nodded and said, "Even so, my heart is not at ease!" It's like visiting a close friend, he naturally doesn't care about affection, but the courtesy is light, but in the end, it still shows that the courtesy is light! ”
Chen An knew that the exchange of gifts was a deep-rooted concept, and the exchange of celebrations between the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how unbearable it was, would not let people compare with the gift money.
He said: "In fact, it is very easy to deal with our Dongqin, that is, mutual benefit and win-win, as long as it is profitable, we are not so vain!" This time, I let you go back with me, which shows that your old port is very important to our Huaxia country's Nanyang strategy! ”
Lin Yucheng pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked seriously: "Then is your Nanyang strategy like Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty, or like Luzon?" ”
Chen An was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... It's hard to say, before there is no strong immigration ability, it is probably to maintain the trade network of Nanyang and implement the trade rules of our Eastern Qin! Integrate the whole of Nanyang into our system! Our policy will not be static, we must consider local conditions, according to the times! ”
"In this way, the old port is in commerce, but it does not have much gain for Eastern Qin! We, the Old Port Propaganda Division, can provide supplies for the ships of Eastern Qin at most! Lin Yucheng was a little disappointed.
Chen An smiled: "This is enough!" In the Nanyang strategy, the importance of a fulcrum is far greater than the commercial value of a place! There are tens of thousands of Han people in the old port, and for this alone, I don't think the king will care! I have also heard that there are many Han Chinese in Nanyang, and in recent months, many people have come from all over the country to defect to Luzon. If the old port can become another fulcrum, then the power of Eastern Qin can go deeper, and there will be a local garrison in the future! ”
Lin Yucheng thought for a while and sighed: "Since the Song Dynasty, the sea trade has been prosperous, and my Han people have gone to sea to do business, and they have been in this Nanyang for many years, leaving a lot of descendants!" Whether it is Luzon, Jawa, Manraka, Champong, or Misang Gefu, there have been many Han people! But wandering, lonely, and unable to enjoy the grace of the court! Many people abandoned their ancestors, didn't believe in Mazu, followed those Daoyi, believed in X-religion, and even threw away the identity of Han people!
Even if we starve to death, even if we are trapped to death, we will never give up our identity as Han people and forget our ancestral beliefs! But after waiting for almost a Jiazi, the Ming Dynasty seemed to forget us, during which several times sent envoys to pay tribute, asking for the help of the Ming Dynasty, all of them got a few words of favor but not truth, and later, they were too lazy to entertain us!
If this is the case, in a few decades, I don't know if our descendants of the old Hong Kong Han people will be able to hold on! ”
This was sad, but Chen An was uncomfortable to listen to, Lin Yucheng and they were still immersed in the recognition of Zheng He and Daming, presumably Zheng He gave them great pride and confidence back then.
But...... This time, you are asking to kneel down and recognize your father, but it is my dignified Huaxia country!
Lin Yuchang took a long breath, suddenly looked at Chen An and asked, "Can you also send troops to regain the lost territory for us, just like Luzon?" As long as this is the case, my old Hong Kong Han people will definitely respect the Chinese monarch from now on, and they will never betray! ”
"This ...... I don't know! Chen An looked into the distance and said: "But if the Nanyang strategy is promoted, one day, the entire Nanyang will be the world of our Chinese family!" ”
"Hopefully, that day won't be too far away!" Lin Yucheng sighed again.
Half a day later, the ship came to Zhiyuan Port in Qinnan City, which was the former Dagou Port.
Lin Yucheng saw the port of Dongqin for the first time and found that the prosperity was comparable to that of Manila, and there were also cranes emitting black smoke on the wharf.
It seems that Dong Qin's strength is very strong, which makes him feel more confident in his heart!
This group of people was able to destroy the Luzon Kingdom, and once defeated the Ming Dynasty, even if they crossed the sea to fight with Majapahit, there was not necessarily any big problem.
……
After arriving at Yangang, Lin Yucheng's solemn demeanor at that moment finally turned into a deep shock.
The high-rise buildings, the wide roads, the endless wharf, and the speeding trains in Salt Harbor all amazed him.
"The First Evolution"
Prosperity is not enough to describe the salt port at this time, and Lin Yucheng also believes that there will never be a second such port in the world!
How strong is Huaxia? Their artifacts are so amazing!
Lin Yucheng suppressed the surprise in his heart, and accompanied by Chen An, he came to the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Yangang to register the information.
Then he was like a wandering spirit, led around the salt harbor.
It wasn't until he got on the train that he came back to his senses, knowing that all this was real, and that he didn't come to the ghost by himself.
"It's called a train, but it's powered by fire?" Lin Yucheng asked.
Chen An sat opposite him and said with a smile: "It is coal that burns, to be precise, this is the power of water and fire!" ”
"The power of fire and water!" Lin Yucheng said to himself: "This ...... It's like a ghost's magic! ”
Chen An couldn't help but smile: "It's man-made, and the art of ghosts and gods is just something that we humans can't understand, if we understand it, we won't feel unusual!" ”
"I believe you can defeat the Ming Kingdom!" Lin Yucheng suddenly arched his hand and said: "You have such ability, please help us in the old Hong Kong Hanmin!" ”
"Rest assured, as long as the interests are there, our Huaxia Kingdom will definitely not let it go!" Chen An lifted Erlang's legs and looked out the window.
Lin Yucheng also looked out the window, only to see that on both sides of the road, there was a lot of traffic, fertile land and dwellings, and he still couldn't see the farmers working.
An atmosphere of peace and prosperity seemed to be shrouded in the sky over Eastern Qin.
Recalling what happened to the military and civilians in the old port over the years, Lin Yucheng couldn't hold back any longer, and two lines of tears slowly rolled down.
The Majapahit, also known as the Java, did not take advantage of the original attack on the old port, and due to the fierce resistance of the old port army and civilians, they also had to admit that to make the old port autonomous, the old port only needed to submit to the old port and pay tribute.
However, the Majapahit gradually became stronger, losing the old port that the Ming Dynasty relied on, and quickly lost the benefits of commerce, and the Majapahit by blocking the trade routes, the old port was made poor for decades, and if there were a few more decades, I am afraid that the old port would be all annexed!
