Chapter 746: Da Ming won the hearts of the people of the world without spending any soldiers
After hearing what Yang Jinu said, Jin Taiji nodded, looked at the vast Indian plains, pulled the reins and said: "I knew that the south was so good, I should have caught more people in the first place!" ”
Yang Jinu replied: "Yes, it's so warm here, if you bring more of these people, you can grab more slaves and gold and silver." ”
Jin Taiji and Yang Jinu regretted that they didn't bring more people at the beginning, and for the Ming court authorities, they now regret not coming here to Wanghua earlier.
Because in fact, at present, in the Indian subcontinent, the biggest benefit is actually the Ming court.
All the land, population, and property looted by the Jurchen and other Yiding had to be exchanged for silver dollars in the hands of the Ming court.
Then, the Jurchen waited for Yi Ding to take the silver dollar coupon to buy the goods of the Ming Dynasty.
It is equivalent to the Jurchen and other things that Yiding worked hard to get, but they are just cheap commodities of the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, the Ming also collected protection money from the attached Brahmin feudal lords and dumped goods on them.
It is worth mentioning that today's Indian subcontinent is actually a non-centralized state composed of many feudal lords.
It may be that the Mughal Empire was more centralized, but in essence, the entire Indian subcontinent was a feudal society made up of several states.
And this is naturally more conducive to the Ming Dynasty to achieve its strategic goals in the Indian subcontinent and maximize its own interests.
In short, the Ming Dynasty is now making money on both sides, and this also makes the income of the Ming court continue to rise.
The key is that the Jurchens and other nobles in Yiding will basically use the excess silver dollar coupons to buy subscription coupons, which is equivalent to lending the money they have worked so hard to to the Ming court, or it can be said to be invested in the Ming court.
This means that these aristocrats take the initiative to tie themselves to the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and will not be dissatisfied with the exploitation mode of the Ming Dynasty, and will have to be willing to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty for their own interests.
Meantime.
The Ming also took the initiative to protect the Brahmin feudal lords of the Mughal Empire, and advocated not killing them, and also allowed them to invest in the Ming and borrow money from the Ming, so the Brahmins were not so disgusted with the Ming, and even began to be willing to contribute to the prosperity of the Ming.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty will also divide a small part of the profits earned to reward the middle and lower classes of the Jurchen Yiding for their bravery, and the outstanding ones will even directly call the Jingshi to face the saint and become the protégé of the Son of Heaven, and also in the place after being slaughtered by the Jurchen and other Yiding, as well as in the territory of the Brahmin feudal lords, to build Confucian colleges and medical centers to help the poor and treat the sick, by the way, to promote the Mandate of Heaven, so that the bottom people in these places know that the Son of Heaven is the Holy Lord Benevolent Monarch to whom the Mandate of Heaven returns, and his own life is only because his life is more bitter than others, You should also endure more hardships and work harder, so that you can have the opportunity to become a master.
Of course, to do all this well, it takes a person who is very good at military and political and diplomatic affairs to coordinate these affairs for the Ming court in India, so that all forces and all walks of life do not have so much hatred for the Ming Dynasty, and even only be grateful to the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Ling, who is only good at charging into battle and is commonly known as Liu Dadao, is naturally not suitable for this.
Therefore, after Liu Wei issued a card, Zhu Yijun ordered him to be transferred back, and he was awarded the title of Chengguo Gong for his merits, and stayed in Beijing to take charge of Jingwei martial arts.
After Wan Shide, who had been promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of War, was recommended by the court as the new candidate for the governor of India, Zhu Yijun appointed him to serve as the governor of India, responsible for military and political affairs in India.
The reason why Zhu Yijun chose Wanshide is because Wanshide is not only good at military command, has blocked the attack of hundreds of thousands of rebels in Huamachi, is better at handling multi-ethnic relations, and has also spent a single soldier in Gansu to let 200,000 Hu people who were detained to be attached, and he dares to be ruthless and show kindness.
During his tenure as Governor General of India, according to the actual situation, Wan Shide did not adopt a military strategy, but used his way as a civilian official to make the Ming not only gain the most benefits in India, but also make all strata of India less disgusted with the Ming Dynasty, and even welcomed.
Setting up a medical center, building a school and even setting up an almshouse are all things that Wanshide has come to do here.
In addition, Winsted also focuses on business and cultural education.
First of all, he vigorously set up a practice in Dhaka, using India's cheap labor to transfer a large number of outdated industries in the country, and then using the money earned in this way to buy land and mines from the Brahmins, which is equivalent to allowing the Mughal people to exchange a large amount of land and mines for the Ming through their own labor.
Secondly, at this time, Wanshide also carried out gratitude education for these Mughal low-level people concentrated in their factories, so that they only realized that they only had the possibility of working and living by the arrival of the Ming Emperor.
In order to cover up the essence of the Ming Dynasty coming to India for the purpose of profit plunder, and to better let the Great Tomorrow be respected by the people of the world, Wan Shide also requested the abolition of the caste system in the Ming religious area, and clearly required that under the rule of Xinli, there is no hierarchy in all strata of India.
Although Wan Shide did this only because the Ming did not need the caste system to gain benefits, and in order to attract more labor to the district, it did attract many idealistic Mughal intellectuals and gain their favor.
They began to take the initiative to regard the Ming as an advanced civilization that came to save them, and they were full of good feelings for the Ming Dynasty, and took the initiative to brainwash themselves, saying that the arrival of the Ming army made India, which had been in the dark world, finally usher in the dawn.
Many Mughal intellectuals also began to migrate to the Ming Dynasty, and after coming here, they also took the initiative to learn Han culture, and even took the initiative to wear Han clothes, speak Chinese, and write Chinese characters.
Even the feudal lords of the Brahmin level took the initiative to accept the sinicization, and there were idealistic individual Brahmins who took the initiative to dedicate their territories to the Ming Dynasty, and the intention was to let the Ming transform the civilization level of their territories, liberate the people in their territories, and let them get rid of ignorance.
It's just that some Brahmins, although they themselves do not reject contact with Han culture, are very opposed to ordinary people coming into contact with Han culture, and even forbid them to wear Han clothes and learn Chinese characters, saying that by doing so, they are abandoning their ancestors and betraying their own civilization.
There are ultra-conservative Brahmins who also directly and brutally suppress ordinary Indians who change Han customs and customs, but the Brahmins themselves secretly came to Dhaka and other Ming religions to buy Chinese-style furniture and handicrafts, and even took the initiative to pay high prices to invite Han people to teach them to learn Chinese characters and Han music, and even took the initiative to send their own children to study in the education area.
In short, the Brahmins were very contradictory, on the one hand, they said in front of the low-level Indians that they would abide by the tradition and keep their own culture, but on the other hand, they themselves were the first to come into contact with the Han culture.
Because Indians have their own cultural pride, most ordinary Indians have chosen to cooperate with the Brahmins, to abide by their own civilization, to keep their own culture, and not to be assimilated, and would rather become poorer because of this.
Of course, there are also intelligent ordinary Indians who have begun to advocate the transformation of their own civilization while absorbing the Han civilization, and hope that India can be unified as soon as possible.
It's just that this kind of person is a minority, and they are often unflattering on both sides, and are despised by compradors, saying that they have not cleansed themselves from ignorance and backwardness, and are also reprimanded by conservatives, saying that such people are villains who are not confident in their own civilization and are hypocritical and want to take advantage of the opportunity on both sides.
And because of this.
In the entire Indian continent, there are not only Jurchen and other Yiding, but also Han Chinese, as well as low-level Indians who are in dire straits, and high-caste Indians such as Brahmins, who are ideologically divided and politically and militarily.
Among them, there are both rough and barbaric Shengfan tribes, that is, tribes that are not very sinicized, and familiar tribes that are almost indistinguishable from the Han people.
Among the Brahmins, there are not only compradors and agents who are only willing to be the lackeys of the Ming Dynasty, but also people who want to improve and want to catch up with the Ming Dynasty, and they despise their own civilization, and feel that their civilization is very backward and has no merit, and it is simply a low-lying land in the difficulty of indoctrination in all parts of the world, and only by completely abandoning their backward ideas and completely sinicizing can they get rid of ignorance and get rid of the people who are completely saved.
Among the low-caste Indians, there are people who have listened to the conservative people among the Brahmins and just want to adhere to the traditional caste system and do not want to change, and there are also people who do not want to care.
Anyway, under the leadership of the Ming Emperor and the rulers, coupled with the good implementation of this strategy, the Indian subcontinent is now even more complicated than before.
It has to be mentioned that the current Indian subcontinent also has colonies by Western colonizers such as Portugal.
Therefore, the current Indian subcontinent is really far away if it wants to be unified and then reformed.
Moreover, the Mughal Empire itself was itself a loose structure of various princely states.
Moreover, because there are too many and complex forces in the Indian subcontinent today, wars often occur.
There were not only wars between the major feudal lords within the Mughal Empire against foreign invaders, but also melee wars between them and each other, as well as wars between the green battalions and the co-defense battalions, as well as their own internal conquests, and the wars generated after the conflict between the feudal lords, the green battalion, and the co-garrison battalions and the Western colonizers.
The entire Indian subcontinent is a mess, with wars going on almost every day.
And during this period, the Ming Dynasty frantically sold the weapons he was about to obscure to the two sides of the war, while playing the role of mediator to mediate everywhere, which made the upper-class people who only wanted to fight for territory inseparable from the weapon support of the Daming, and the lower-class people who only wanted to live a peaceful life were full of good feelings towards the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, after all, only the rulers of the Ming Dynasty were calling for peace.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun also issued a holy decree to Wan Shide: "We must make full use of all kinds of non-war means, so that the Ming Dynasty can realize the unification of civilization in India as soon as possible." ”
