Chapter 457: The main contradiction in the South Seas

In the whole of Nanyang, in fact, there is no so-called strategy at all, and after Yan Zheng has the base of Luzon, the next step is to control Manchuria, which is Malacca in later generations.

As long as the Strait of Malacca is in control, it can cut off communication between the South Sea and the Indian Ocean, and prevent outside forces from entering the region.

Then you can first enforce the rules of trade, and then through a sound immigration policy, island by island.

This model is slow, but the next piece of land is a piece of territory, and it will not engage in the loose management of Western colonizers at all.

At present, only the Chinese nation can play this kind of extravagant game.

The first colonists to rise to prominence in the Age of Discovery, the Portuguese, Spanish and the Dutch were eventually replaced by France and England.

The reason is that France and the United Kingdom, both countries with tens of millions of people, have more manpower for immigration.

As for the population of the Ming Dynasty, it is even more unthinkable for Western countries.

Without the dominance of the state, without the guarantee of force, the Han people took root in Nanyang a lot by virtue of trade and trade alone.

This shows from the side that the population of the Central Plains Dynasty is really so large that it explodes, but no one has ever thought of getting these people out who can't eat enough.

After Yan Zheng read the message of the Old Port Propaganda Division, he felt sorry and angry in his heart, if a certain monarch was wise and did not treat his subjects as cattle and horses, then he would naturally not control the flow of population.

But all dynasties and dynasties are trying their best to prevent the flow of population, and Zhu Yuanzhang once ordered that the so-called road guide should be opened within a radius of ten miles from home.

The reason why they frantically stopped the movement of the people was to lock the people in a heaven and earth, so that they would be willing to pay for the cattle and horses.

This artificially created stable structure seems to be very stable, but in fact it is the most unstable, and the cyclical law of history follows the ups and downs of the population.

For more than 2,000 years, if the population was not large and the land was small, then the chaotic times broke out, and when enough people died, they entered the next round of reincarnation.

……

Yan Zheng thought twice and decided to receive Lin Yucheng with high-standard courtesy.

This is out of respect for the descendants of adventurers who ran out in the Song Dynasty, they are the first people who dare to reverse involution, respect them, and also respect a positive and pioneering spirit.

Outside the red room, one hundred and twenty honor guards sent Lin Yucheng off the red carpet with the highest courtesy.

Yan Zheng also personally led the officials of the court and the Privy Council to greet them on the other side.

In the passionate military music, Lin Yucheng walked across the red carpet in an excited mood, and after shaking hands with Yan Zheng to watch the ceremony, he reviewed the honor guard together.

This honor made him only feel that his steps were fluttering, and he was more confident about the affairs of the old port in his heart.

When he entered the living room, he couldn't hold back any longer, and knelt down with a snap and said: "The foreigners have thanked the Huaxia monarch for his courtesy, and they have the courage to speak out, and kneel down and beg the monarch to make decisions for the military and people of my old Hong Kong!" ”

Yan Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said: "Dongqin Buxing three kneels and nine knocks, we are all from the remnants of the Central Plains, your pain, our people in Dongqin empathize, the hardships you have experienced, we have also encountered them!" ”

Lin Yucheng was surprised: "The people of Eastern Qin are also the remnants of the Central Plains? ”

"That's right!" Yan Zheng waved his hand to sit him down and said: "We, the people of Eastern Qin, since the death of Qin, came to this place by sea, and since then, after the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty, and the late Song Dynasty, there have been ancestors who crossed the sea and came, and gradually formed villages in the Eastern Qin. And the Eastern Qin was originally a terra nullius, after the ancestors reclaimed the land, they multiplied on it, and under the hard development of several generations, there was finally agriculture!

Since then, the pioneers of all generations have tried their best to forge ahead, so that I have the move of founding the country and changing the name today! The national name Huaxia is also to not forget the original! And everything in my Eastern Qin is also based on the accumulation of the ancestors little by little, and today's Eastern Qin can have such a situation, which is inseparable from the merits of the ancestors! Of course, the self-improvement of our people in Dongqin is also the foundation of strength! ”

Lin Yucheng was shocked, and said with emotion: "The road is blue, and the mountains and forests are enlightened." The remnants of the Eastern Qin Dynasty, with thousands of years of work, actually created a Chinese on an island hanging overseas! How magnificent! ”

Yan Zheng smiled, he almost believed it when he said too much. At present, the history textbook of the Eastern Qin Dynasty has been finalized, which not only inherits the history of various dynasties before the Ming Dynasty, but also redefines the relationship between the Eastern Qin Dynasty in the history of China.

"So, we empathize with the remnants of the Old Port, and what happened to you may have been experienced by our ancestors!"

Lin Yucheng nodded and said: "If one day, the old port can become a paradise like the Eastern Qin, and my old port soldiers and civilians can be regarded as living up to their ancestors!" Alas, it's a pity, it's hateful, they, these claw barbarians, insist on suppressing us everywhere, making the prosperous old port fall into today's situation! ”

As he spoke, he threw his hand and begged: "Since we are all fallen people at the end of the world!" Please, for the sake of blood thicker than water, save us, the overseas remnants! ”

Yan Zheng sighed and said, "I am very sympathetic to your plight, but now Majapahit has not completely threatened you, so I can't move lightly!" The whole Nanyang is a game of chess, you don't have to worry, when Luzon is enough to raise troops and the food is enough to export supplies, I will definitely seek justice for you! ”

Lin Yucheng gritted his teeth and said with a painful face: "But now, the claw barbarians are encroaching on the fertile land we have opened up every year, forcing us to move to the dense forest every year, and the annual taxes are equally heavy, I really don't know how long my old port can last!" As long as the king nods, my old port is willing to be attached immediately and become the territory of the Huaxia Kingdom! ”

Yan Zheng was silent for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "The time is not ripe, you should bear with it for a year or two first!" After this military reform and military expansion, as long as the matter of Luzon is over, the Huaxia Kingdom will be able to free up its hands! ”

What he wanted to say was that the location of the old port was really not superior, and it was very embarrassing, at a point of chicken ribs. The only thing worth fighting is that there are tens of thousands of Han people above.

If tens of thousands of Han Chinese had popped up in Manchuria, he would have clamored for the protection of overseas Chinese and brutally interfered in the internal affairs of other countries with armed forces.

Lin Yucheng looked up to the sky and took a long breath: "I understand!" I just ask the king not to let us wait too long, I will come on this trip, the gift is the edict canonized by the Ming Dynasty, this edict to the king, I hope the king can give us a new edict! ”

Yan Zheng nodded and said, "I know your sincerity!" Although it is inconvenient to intervene directly, but this time, I will let you bring back a thousand arquebuses and twenty breech guns, and let me find a few fortress experts to help you build a fortress system in the old port, I dare not guarantee anything else, only to ensure that you can protect yourself! ”

Lin Yucheng hurriedly got up and thanked: "With sharp firearms, my old Hong Kong military and civilians will definitely be able to survive the difficulties!" ”

"Not only that, but there are also many armor and all kinds of weapons in Dongqin! There are so many young people in your old port, all armed! Overseas, among aliens, it is better to rely on nothing than on yourself, and it is better to believe in anything than to trust in the weapons in your hands! Yan Zheng admonished.

Lin Yucheng nodded, as long as there was a steady stream of ordnance support, they would naturally dare to fight.

Yan Zheng asked again: "There are many forces in Nanyang, you have been in the old port for so many years, do you think that the current force is the most important?" ”

Lin Yucheng thought for a while and said, "The Sultanate of the Moon! Other than that, it's this Majapahit! One of them is in the East Java, and the other is in the West Java! ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"Why the Sultanate?"

"Because of the X religion, Majapahit is a Hindu, although it is strong at the moment, but it is far from the power of the Sultanate of the Sultanate, and the Sultan of the Sultan of the Empire Coupled with the X religion, the government is clearer than that of the Majapahit! At least the lord of the kingdom is a male lord! Lin Yucheng replied.

Yan Zheng then asked, "What is the situation with Manraka?" ”

Lin Yucheng said disdainfully: "The name of the lord of Manraka is Muhammad Shah, and he was originally a place that believed in Buddhism, but now it has become the X religion. Over the years, the government has not been quiet, and there have been a lot of pickled things in the same room. Under the rule, there is also a lot of public resentment, which is far worse than the other two countries! ”

Yan Zheng couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the situation in Nanyang is not as complicated as I imagined!" Their Z-religion contradictions are enough to become a good contradiction intervention point! ”

Lin Yucheng was stunned for a moment, and complimented: "You can see it thoroughly, these two religions already have a deep contradiction, and it is already a situation that will never die!" ”

"Good!"

……

After sending Lin Yucheng away, Yan Zheng felt that the original Nanyang strategy might have to be adjusted.

Since Majapahit believes in Hinduism, there is a certain space for cooperation, and it cannot be touched for the time being.

The Sultanate is powerful, and there is a male lord in the court, which needs to be stifled as soon as possible, otherwise it will be more difficult to deal with it in the future if it is allowed to monopolize the benefits of spices.

As for Manraka, this must be taken, and only by controlling the straits can we interfere in the economy militarily!
