Chapter 134: The Kings

Even when King Yan destroyed the Yuan, it brought a lot of damage to the Mongolian people. Now the Mongols have also recovered quickly, and they are happy with the king of Yan.

It's not, how much personal charm King Yan has. It is really the people at the bottom of the nomadic people, and it is too miserable compared to the people of the Ming Dynasty. This is also why, in ancient times, outside of many Great Walls, the Chinese people wanted land, but in the nomads, there was abundant water and grass, and the land could open up the foundation of the country.

Now, Yanwang brings advanced technology from the Central Plains and new production methods. Let many people eat enough for the first time.

If all this is the case, how can we not make the herdsmen grateful to Dade.

The people everywhere are very realistic, but the herdsmen on the grassland are more realistic, and it is not too much to say that they are snobbish, because the living conditions on the grassland are difficult, and it is unrealistic, and it is themselves who starve to death. They don't have a choice.

As a result, Mongolian women were robbed by men, and they were men's, and they even did not hesitate to follow men against their mothers. It seems ruthless, but it is the only way to live.

Perhaps the Mongolian aristocracy still has the so-called loyalty and pride. But for the people at the bottom, there is nothing at all.

King Yan is skillful, and the people from the Xiao'er Jin family are all sent to Nanjing. In this case, find a way to buy people's hearts, so for more than a year, King Yan has gained a firm foothold.

What is even more commendable is that King Yan has also established a complete civil service system. Every thousand households has a long history as a deputy, in charge of money, food, and civil affairs. This is also based on economic development, so that the superstructure is increased or decreased.

In this way, the rule of the Yan King was actually more progressive than that of some nomadic tribal alliances.

After all, even when Genghis Khan was there, the thousand households were subordinate to the major nobles, just like the Naha Division, which was inherited from generation to generation by the Muhuali family.

Now, at least King Yan has established a bureaucratic system. Thus strengthening the royal power.

The system of King Yan already has the basis for building a nomadic empire.

This has always been the goal of King Yan, and he has always done so.

Internally, he has a solid foundation, and externally he has been spying on the situation of Warat.

The relationship between the tile spur and the Ming Dynasty is very delicate, the tile spur tributes the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang seals the leader of the tile thorn as the loyal king, and anyone who gives such a king title is generally neither loyal nor obedient. Therefore, this loyal and obedient king did not live up to his own king title at all.

King Zhongshun quietly re-established the Yuan court in his own territory, and I don't know where to find a little child, saying that it was a child who was only a descendant of the bloodline, and married his granddaughter to this child, so he was established as the Great Khan, which was used to integrate the remnants of the Great Yuan court on the steppe, and in this name, he interacted with the Mongol khanates in the Western Regions.

One set of teams, two brands, corresponding to the Ming Dynasty and the remnants of Mongolia, are very flexible.

When King Yan was firmly established, Warat was not idle. Establish the rule of the Dzoros family, wait for the day to change the dynasty.

Yan Wang is also preparing his own opportunities. That is the Yanwang City as the core, and the forty-four thousand households are the branches. Yanwang City is the core of Yanwang, and it is also the only city with a population of more than 50,000 on the Songnen Plain, and it is the gathering place of generals and officials under Yanwang.

There are also some simple handicrafts, and it is a commodity distribution place.

King Yan directly under the 10,000 cavalry, 44,000 households, a total of 40,000 cavalry, in the war, can also recruit the people, organize a cavalry of more than 100,000. Enough for him to dare to launch a decisive battle against Warat.

But King Yan himself felt that in order to complete such an army construction and hoard enough supplies, King Yan felt that he needed three to five years of savings.

Prior to this, King Yan liked the Ming Hub to remain stable the most.

It's just that with the death of the crown prince, his simple expectation was shattered.

For the first time, King Yan thought of whether he could compete for this position. Immediately, King Yan himself denied this idea.

It's not that King Yan has no ambition at all, it's just that King Yan knows Zhu Yuanzhang better than King Jin.

If Zhu Yuanzhang likes him, then he doesn't have to fight, this position must be his. If Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care about him, even if he fights, it will be useless. In the end, it was still very miserable, and it was difficult to get out.

If you say, now King Yan is very dissatisfied with his life and situation.

King Yan may not be ruthless, but in fact, King Yan is quite satisfied with his current situation, and has established his own huge empire on the grassland, and even King Yan can foresee his future, sweeping the Western Regions and the yellow sand in the west.

After staying away from the Central Plains, everything can also be decided in one word, and this kind of pleasure is no less than being an emperor.

Why didn't he leave himself a way back?

So no matter what King Yan thinks in his heart, the best way is to do his own thing, wait for the will of God, the will of God is in me, then there is no need to say anything, if the will of God is not in me, then, this matter, there is no need to say it again. 33

Old Port.

King Zhou was on the dock and waited for a long time.

He was waiting for no one else, it was the King of Chu.

The two kings of Zhou and Chu are strong vassals in Nanyang. The routes between the two feudatories were quite different.

King Zhou's immigration in the old port was able to gather the Han people in the old port as soon as possible, and made great efforts to carry out water conservancy construction, trim the river outside the old port, and strive to transform the flooded river outside the old port into a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's a big project. It's not something that can be done in a year or two.

King Zhou's years were not without results.

The biggest achievement is to make the old port into a grain distribution center in the South Seas. On the one hand, it is natural that the grain production of the old port has increased a lot. With enough capital to affect the rice market, on the other hand, it is the location of the old port, which can take on the grain of Java and the Indian Ocean region.

You must know that in Southeast Asia, for a long time, Java was an important food producer. This is one of the sources of Java's special position among the islands of the South Seas.

It's just that King Zhou did this, which also had a bad effect. That is, the army of the king of Zhou is weak, and he can only rely on the governor of Nanyang, the king of Zhou has a very close relationship with the Nanyang governor's palace, and even like a family, the king of Zhou is ready to take the daughter of the Lu family for the prince.

And the king of Chu is completely different.

The king of Chu was in Java, but he followed the customs of the country and ruled according to the customs.

At the beginning of the king of Chu, he married the local clans, married many local Hindu beauties, and attracted many local clans to become the ministers of the king of Chu. Of course, these big clans are naturally wall grass, swaying between the king of the east and the king of Java.

And the king of Chu, with his own elite soldiers as the core, and the local subordinate soldiers as wings, fought several times to pacify the princes below. For a while, the momentum was huge. It even affected the war between the East King and the West King.

Let the battle of Java change from a two-strong division to a three-legged victory.

The king of Chu was even more under the advice of many Confucian scholars to establish the Zhou system, that is, the feudal system. The place where the king of Chu is located, as Wang Ji, will make the surrounding princes princes separately princes, and determine the obligations of each prince. Establish a complete system.

And put the local Han people, and the in-laws of the king of Chu himself, in an important position.

This is also the reason why the king of Chu was able to attract many local tribes to the king of Chu.

As mentioned above, the level of civilization in Southeast Asia is similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period in China. In terms of political structure, in fact, no matter which dynasty it is, it can only control its own core areas, and it is difficult to control remote places.

The disagreement between local centrifugal forces and centralized power has caused many so-called empires to fall apart, and the division of Majapahit may not be without such reasons.

No matter how bad the order is, it is better than no order.

The king of Chu is to establish a set of upper and lower order of respect and humility, and even the king of Chu and many princes are allied by blood and swear to the sky. The obligations of both parties are determined. What brought the greatest benefit to the king of Chu was the attraction to the outer islands.

Although, everything on the island of Java is the core of the South Seas. But that doesn't mean that there isn't any power on the other islands of the Indonesian archipelago. This is clearly unrealistic. It's just that the strength of the rest of the islands in the South China Sea is much worse than that of Java. This is true even in the Hereafter.

Some people died, but not completely......
