Chapter 139: A Han Man is Like a Wolf and a Tiger
South China Sea.
More than a dozen merchant ships are sailing.
The trade routes from the South China Sea to the Western countries were very prosperous as early as the Tang Dynasty, reaching their peak in the Southern Song Dynasty and reaching the peak of the peak in the Kublai Khan period of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
At that time, there were many ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty, who attached great importance to maritime trade, and repeatedly banned Kublai Khan's maritime trade, and the imperial court officials controlled maritime trade to earn taxes.
And Kublai Khan also attached great importance to the sea trade, which made the Southern Song Dynasty court continue to pay taxes for decades, and repeatedly sent his subordinates to lead the team to do business, because there was a conflict with Annam, Burma, and Java, and he sent troops to conquer these three places, and the conquest of Java was defeated, but Annam and Burma were all defeated by the Great Yuan.
Dayuan also set up a propaganda department in these two places to be in charge of taxation.
However, the barbarians in these two places did not obey the discipline, and the Han Chinese were scarce, and the Mongols were even less, so they finally died.
On the merchant ship, several Daming maritime merchants were plotting.
"How long will it take to get to Srivijayaya?"
"Soon, we're lucky we didn't encounter the sea breeze, and if there is a sea breeze, it's slower."
"Then Chen Zuyi and Liang Daoming are both in the Three Buddhas, right?"
"In ......"
The leader is Guo Heng, the former secretary of the Ming Dynasty.
And many of the maritime merchants around him are some businessmen of the Shen Wansan Shen family, and they were all recruited by the Ming Jinyi Wei Guoan Division as peripheral spies to help the Ming Dynasty investigate the military situation and attack the South China Sea.
Guo Heng is now dark and thin, his skin is dark, his eyes are shining brightly, as a squire who almost overturned the entire Ming Dynasty, he is a scholar in his family, based on Confucianism, and is a very knowledgeable scholar, otherwise he would not be able to be the official of Suzhou Mansion.
In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, his eucalyptus incident, the Ming Hongwu Emperor was unusual, did not kill him, but sentenced him to go to Nanyang to make money for the caravan of the Ming Jinyi Wei Guoan Division, ransom the buyer, his curly hair with Yunnan for three years, this crime is very light.
In the past three years, he has worked hard and earned no less than five million silver dollars for the Ming Dynasty.
Now, he is the commander of the Ming Jinyi Wei Guoan Division in the South China Sea.
He said in a low voice: "The Son of Heaven's dictation, the attack on Nanyang is the top priority of my Ming Dynasty in the next ten years, His Royal Highness King Yan is about to go to Guangdong, as the governor of the two vast capitals, responsible for Annam, Luzon and other places, especially the strategy of Annam." ”
"To attack Annam, it is necessary to pinch the Three Buddhas in your hands, and the Chinese along the way, mostly gather in the Three Buddhas, the Three Buddhas Chinese, and Chen Zuyi, Liang Daoming as the leader, our task this time is to find ways to subdue Chen Zuyi and Liang Daoming."
A businessman from the Shen family asked: "Guo Dongjia, these two people often have business dealings with their Shen family, Chen Zuyi is a murderer, there is no faith at all, but Liang Daoming, this person is a native of Nanhai (Foshan) in Guangdong, is a Hakka Han person, has great prestige in the local area, does what he says, and is known as faithful, but he can win Liang Daoming." ”
Guo Heng nodded when he heard this.
His eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "In addition to the Son of Heaven's message, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sent me a letter. ”
"He said, the country of the Three Buddhas, across Manchuria, Luzon, including dozens of islands, guarding the South China Sea trade routes, and since the Song Dynasty, there are many Chinese people who have come to settle here, and many people have come at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, we will attack the South China Sea, first plan against Zhao'an, and then find a way to build a city and settle in this place with Chinese, and find a way to control the Three Buddhas, so that this place is my Ming Domain."
"In the future, there will be the king of the Ming Domain, who will come here to be a real domain!"
"Huh!?"
Many businessmen were shocked and excited.
The country of the Three Buddhas, although the later generations are not obvious, but at this time, it is very huge, the territory is from the Strait of Malacca, some islands in the south of Luzon, the territory is vast, the important thing is to grasp the port city of the Strait of Manchuria, very rich, this place originally believed in Mahayana Buddhism, but the people of Heaven came here to do business, and gradually settled, gradually, the people of Heaven here also increased.
At this time, it happened that the Timurid Khanate in the West was rising, and many Buddhist merchants fled here from Tianzhu and other places, and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were also many merchants from Guangdong and Fujian who fled here, so the major port cities have Chinese, native islanders, Tianfang, and people from the Buddha country living together, and they are in a chaotic and disorderly era.
Troubled times produce heroes, this is not false at all.
Such as Chen Zuyi, such as Liang Daoming.
These two people in China, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were just insignificant two small clan patriarchs, to the country of the Three Buddhas, relying on good courage and ruthlessness, they became the overlord of a city-state, especially Chen Zuyi, this person in the early years of Hongwu, because of the crime and the family fled to the old port, because of his martial arts, in the early days of the king of the island Republic of China as a general, this place is rich, the islanders are lazy and unusable, he gradually became the leader, self-proclaimed chief, this person in Zhu Xiongying's time and space, in the Yongle years to become bigger, actually captured dozens of earth city-states, became a giant, He had thousands of warships, and many small island countries in the South China Sea had to pay tribute to him, and he was later captured by Zheng He when he went to the West and taken to Beijing to be beheaded for public display.
And the same is true of Liang Daoming, both of them are Chinese, and they can't get involved in China, but when they come to this island country in the South China Sea, they become a powerful overlord.
"If a vassal king comes to seal it, will we be able to serve as a king in the future?"
Someone said excitedly.
Guo Heng said calmly: "Don't be happy, don't you hear that the son of the Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan, the king of Zhennan, is guarding the Burmese Xuanhui Division, but the Great Yuan has lost Burma?"
During the period of Kublai Khan, he had conquered Annam three times, and conquered Burma many times, and after defeating Burma, he used his son Tuhuan as the king of Zhennan, and guarded the Xuanwei Division in Burma, but unfortunately Burma was still lost.
In the early days, the Great Yuan attacked Annam Burma in order to consume the surrendered Southern Song Dynasty Jiangnan Army, and the conquest of Java was also.
However, after the elite of the Han army in the Southern Song Dynasty was basically dead, the Mongols found that their northerners were no match for the southern barbarian monkeys of Annam and Burma, and in the jungle, they could not defeat Burma and Annam.
But the strong military strength of the Great Yuan also frightened Annam and Burma, and later the kings of Annam and Burma all took the initiative to pay tribute and surrender table, and Java was the same, the conquest of Java was Kublai Khan's intention to consume the Southern Song Dynasty's surrender army, originally Java was far away from the Great Yuan, and the eight poles could not be beaten, so there was no need to spend military strength to attack.
After the fight, the king of Java was also startled and hurriedly sent an envoy to Dayuan to pay tribute.
"When we arrive at the old port, we will catch it with two hands, not only Chen Zuyi, but also Liang Daoming."
Guo Heng said.
Guo Heng's personal ability is not outstanding among many officials in the Ming Dynasty, but if he is placed in a place where Han people are scarce like Nanyang, his wisdom is undoubtedly higher than that of ordinary people, after all, he was born in the imperial examination.
His eyes flashed, and he said, "At the same time, we have to prepare a third hand." ”
"The local island city lord of the old port, these three hands are good at grasping, and we can all make immortal achievements!" What do you say about loving the Ming Dynasty and being loyal to the country, it is all false, Guo Heng has relied on doing sea trade over the years, and he doesn't have to earn less from collecting taxes in Suzhou Mansion that year, and he doesn't have to worry about it, and his family has been allowed to return to Nanjing after three years in Yunnan, because he has done a good job.
He knew that he was a sinful body, and he probably had no hope of rising in the Nanjing court, but there was a lot to be done in this South China Sea, and he might be able to get a big city-state lord to sit on.
Several other businessmen had also been doing business in the South China Sea for a long time and were accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, so they immediately negotiated with him.
Han people are always like wolves and tigers outside the country.
Several Han people are Menghu, but if there are too many people, they will become dogs and bite each other.
