Chapter 137: Nanyang Six

A red tape, singing and dancing celebrations, not to mention, the enchanting of Nanyang girls is not under the Indo-Du girls, but the skin is a little dark, which is not beautiful. However, some Hui merchants brought Western slave girls, but they were blonde and blue-eyed, and they had a unique flavor. I won't mention the taste here.

And the most important thing about this conference is nothing else. It was He Xi's speech.

In fact, He Xi's speech at this moment is just a formality. After all, He Xi had already communicated privately with the countries of Nanyang. Most of the powerful countries knew in advance what He Xi was going to say. What, you don't know. It can only be said that your country has no influence in the South Seas, let alone strength. Tell it to you, don't tell it, it's all the same.

He Xi stood on the high platform and said in Chinese: "Nanyang is warm as spring and summer all year round, and there is no pain of wind, frost and bitter cold. It can be counted in a year, it is the land under the wind, the country of God, but for many years, they have been fighting. The blood flowed like a river, and the Ming Dynasty went south, which came to end all this. ”

Immediately, He Xi proposed the Nanyang Six.

The first one, the son of heaven.

This article is the premise of all articles, to determine the relationship between the Nanyang states and the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Ming Dynasty protects the Nanyang countries, and the Nanyang countries want to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the big countries can go directly to Nanjing, and some small countries can go to the old port.

And the method of tribute, the amount of tribute each year, are regulated.

He Xi obviously did not show mercy to the set of subordinates who were thick and thin, and did not even mention it, and directly determined the tributary model of Nanyang.

Before the end of each year, tribute must be paid. It is determined according to the size of each country. That's about 10 percent of each country's tax revenue. Even if it is indeed too poor, it can be negotiated. Actually, this is already considered lenient. In the past, the Majapahit repeatedly fought counterinsurgency wars. Why?

It comes down to money.

The second is to set the frontier. After the frontier is determined, each of them must not be violated.

Of course, He Xi played a trick here. The frontiers he identified were the places that the nations could control. But on the whole, the South Seas are vast and sparsely populated. As a result, there are a lot of borderlands.

Although, these are borderlands. Not a good place. But only now, not in the future. As the overlord of the South Seas, these borderless lands were directly zoned to the plate of the Ming Dynasty.

The third is to protect the royal family.

That is, the Ming Dynasty respects the royal families of all countries and guarantees the inheritance rights of the royal families of all countries, and the heirs of the royal families of all countries must be reported to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will not interfere in principle. But once there is a problem of inheritance in the country, or the power of the minister usurps power. The Ming Dynasty will administer justice to the royal families.

It is precisely because of these two points that it has been supported by almost all small countries in the South Seas.

It is precisely because of the support of these two points that there is He Xi mixed with private goods below.

Fourth, trade and trade

All countries must support maritime trade, which does not need to be emphasized, the countries of the South Seas rely on the sea to eat the sea, and many island countries cannot live without maritime trade. The main detail here is the anti-piracy agreement, and the countries need to cooperate with each other to combat piracy. It is not permissible to refuse the Ming merchants for any reason.

Although it is not explicitly stated. However, in the future, Ming merchants will be privileged people in various countries, and ordinary countries will not dare to mess around.

Article 5, the same text

Almost every country in the South Seas has its own script, not to mention, and now, even in later generations, the variety of languages in Indonesia is also breathtaking. He Xi proposed that in order to facilitate communication, all documents should be written in Chinese, and all written languages must also be Chinese.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, Daming will not uphold justice.

In order to facilitate everyone to learn Chinese, He Xi decided to set up schools in Old Port, Xinzhou, and Sanbao to let children from all over the world learn Chinese.

These are also the three strongholds of Confucianism and Taoism in He Xi's heart. However, this is only in the planning. To be sure, He Xi must go to Jingshi to walk around for a while. But that doesn't stop him from speaking to these people.

Of course, there's an implicit non-enforceable clause here, and that's proton.

People from all over the world who come to learn Chinese should preferably be the heirs of each country. Of course, no. But these countries have different approaches, and the Ming court here will also be divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Of course, it is impossible for Daming to take hostages. When Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with Fang Guozhen back then, Fang Guozhen sent Fang Guan to Nanjing as a proton. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Fang Guan back, saying that if both sides are trustworthy, what do you want Proton to do, and if both sides are not trustworthy, what can Proton do?

It was Zhu Yuanzhang's lenient attitude that made Fang Guozhen finally decide to surrender.

This clause is implicit. He Xi was more about the spread of Confucianism and the influence of the Ming Dynasty on the future rulers of Nanyang.

Article 6: Measurement.

For the convenience of trade, He Xi proposed that all measurements should be measured in the Ming Dynasty. And announced that Daming Port will only be measured by Daming in the future.

Now the three strongholds of Daming are all important places for business, not to mention that Daming has a large number of Chinese goods, which are also what they need. The Ming Dynasty uses the Ming Dynasty to measure, and for a long time in the future, perhaps Nanyang is still a chaotic situation in various measurements, but the Ming Dynasty weights and measures must be a very important force.

He Xi did a lot of preliminary work. Not to mention, the Ming Dynasty has just retired the Majapahit Dynasty from the altar, and this conference is naturally a successful conference and a victorious conference.

All the nations of the South Seas signed and sealed this covenant.

After doing all this, He Xi turned out the ceremony of the oath in the Spring and Autumn Period from the pile of old papers, and built a high platform. Everyone else waited.

And this set of etiquette was all made up by Yao Guangxiao.

If some domestic Confucians look at it, they will definitely say that there are too many distortions in this etiquette. First, Yao Guangxiao's knowledge is not pure Confucianism, he has extensive knowledge. But in terms of etiquette, I don't study it deeply, and it's normal to have some confusion.

Second, Yao Guangxiao himself is a figure who flouts etiquette. He thinks it's almost enough, and letting him pay attention to the details is Yao Guangxiao's style of doing things. Moreover, these local buns in Nanyang, who knows what the Spring and Autumn Oath etiquette looks like. It's not that he, Yao, is what he says.

However, the ritual had a good impact.

Although Yao Guangxiao has some meaning of fooling people, if he can't learn it, he can't see the place of fooling, and there is nothing wrong with the big step. Three animals sacrifice to the sky, blood for the alliance, bury books and sacrifice to the ground, and so on. In Nanyang soil buns, the eyes are sacred and mysterious.

Even this set of etiquette has since spread in the South Seas. It's been popular for a while.

Etiquette should also be in line with social reality. The most obvious is the seppuku gift. In ancient China, this was the courtesy of a vassal to a lord, revealing his confidants to the blue sky to show his loyalty, or to express grievances.

However, after the Han Dynasty in China, there was no so-called feudal vassals. This etiquette is not practiced in China. However, in modern times, Japan was still a feudal politics, and this etiquette was naturally popular.

The same is true today.

This set of oath system is a ritual between the monarch and the monarch, and between the vassal and the monarch, which is suitable for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Even in the Warring States, it was not very popular. However, the level of civilization in this era of Nanyang is probably the Spring and Autumn Period of China and the Warring States Period.

Perhaps, in many respects it is better than China's Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but in terms of political system, there are very similarities.

Therefore, this set of etiquette is also easy to imitate. Because they need this.

This set of etiquette system has also become the precursor of Confucianism's southern transmission.

The last resolution of the entire alliance was that all countries should send envoys to Nanjing to pay homage to the Great Tomorrow. And the alliance book also needs to be confirmed by the great tomorrow.

Although He Xi has done a lot of things that are cut first and then played. But he also knows where the boundaries of his own power lie. After doing so many things, I always have to give an explanation to the imperial court. In addition, He Xi also has a little selfishness of his own.

That is, he was worried that the situation in the imperial court would change. He went back to make sure that he had left Nanyang. This time, so many countries paid tribute together, and it was reasonable for He Xi to accompany him.
