During this time, on the one hand, the Javanese Yuan reorganized the army and built warships; On the other hand, scholars are also pondering: Dayuan is obviously so lenient and powerful, it stands to reason that it should be able to grow the country, why did it disappear so quickly? Only by understanding this problem can we avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

They believe that the reason for the decline of the Yuan Dynasty is not difficult to summarize, that is, endless civil strife. There was a long-term lack of stability within the Khanate, as well as between the Great Khan and the Mongol nobles, and could only be maintained by a few good chieftains. The slightest turmoil and contradiction will lead to serious conflicts and internal frictions, causing even greater damage to the already unstable order.

And this fragile system was brought by the Mongols. The organization of these people was too primitive, and the political level was too clumsy, and finally ruined the good situation of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

It can be seen that Dayuan is good everywhere, but these Mongols are not good.

If you want to revive the national prestige of the year and restore the national power of Taizu and Shizu, you have to kick out all these guys who can do bad things. Without the Mongols, Dayuan would be fine.

Therefore, the Javanese Yuan called on the merchants and scholars to unite and establish a more complete Yuan regime. In their dealings with Western trading countries, the Latin and Greek official names they used were "the orthodox Great Yuan Empire of the Han nation."

Guo Kang always felt that this theory was a bit strange, and no matter how you look at it, the Javanese Yuan is actually neither orthodox nor Great Yuan, let alone an empire. After all, they were just a federation of businessmen.

Moreover, not only him, but many other people also found it strange. Tuhuan complained to him, saying that the Roman attributes of the Holy Roman Empire may be higher than the attributes of the Yuan Dynasty of Javanese Yuan.

However, Sun Shiwan's attaché told them that here, the excluded Mongols were only the upper class of Mongol nobles. Of course, the maritime merchants did not exclude all Mongols: when the Yuan Dynasty was still alive, they frequently bought Mongol slaves. To this day, there are still a certain number of Mongol slaves and soldiers in the Javanese Yuan.

This line of thinking has also led to some strange results. For example, recently, when the two sides were fighting, there were more Mongolian officers in the Ming Dynasty army than on the Javanese Yuan side.

Tuhuan doubts, is this kind of Yuan Dynasty still called the Yuan Dynasty? However, the Javanese Yuan side said that the Yuan Dynasty was not the Yuan Dynasty of the Mongol Great Khan, but the Yuan Dynasty shared by the Great Khan and the scholars.

During the time of Taizu Genghis Khan, the Mongols were still usable; By the time of the ancestor Xue Chan Khan, many tribes and even the kings of the sect were mainly troublemakers and needed to be taught a lesson; After the ancestors, even the Great Khan and the nobles were inferior from generation to generation. Therefore, they should now discipline these Mongols well for Changshengtian and Genghis Khan, so that they can be worthy of Dayuan.

Tuhuan can't say that these people can only give up. Anyway, it's a matter of Kublai Khan's family, and he claims to be a descendant of Batu, so he doesn't seem to need to care......

However, Guo Kang still has great doubts about whether they can help. Because the Javanese Yuan and the Ming Dynasty have been sworn enemies for decades.

After the defeat of the Vietnamese and Liang regimes, the Javanese Yuan had become the greatest threat to the Ming Dynasty in the southeast. With the cooperation of the remnants of the local Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding and other remnants, the Javanese pirates frequently attacked the coast and plundered everywhere.

At first, the Ming Dynasty tried to cut off their ties and curb the piracy by forbidding the sea. However, this kind of trick is okay against small groups of pirates, but it is obviously not enough to deal with a force with a regular army like the Javanese Yuan.

The Ming Dynasty also tried to relocate coastal people in important areas, and cleared the wilderness in areas that were convenient for landing, trying to cut off the supply of Javanese pirates and force them to leave as soon as possible. However, the migration has affected the livelihoods of local people, which has only caused greater discontent.

Fishermen and small traders who had lost their livelihoods flocked to the shores to engage in fishing and black market trade, and even threw themselves into the Javanese dollar. The government's repeated bans have failed to achieve results, but have only worsened the situation. The Javanese army even openly landed, attacked the prefecture and county, and looted the treasury. and cooperated with the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the northeast region, and attacked and disturbed the court from many roads, making the imperial court anxious.

In the twelfth year of Hongwu, the Hu Weiyong case broke out. He was accused of having secret dealings with the Champa state, an important buffer state between the Ming Dynasty and the Javanese Yuan. The incident quickly fermented, and finally evolved into a major case of collusion with the Javanese Yuan to intend to rebel, and the government and the opposition were greatly impacted.

However, with this big case, the Ming Dynasty finally began to change its mind, and instead of continuing to torment the fishermen, it tried to attack the supporters of the Javanese Yuan in the middle and upper classes, and at the same time began to prepare for the construction of sailors, preparing to destroy the enemy at sea.

The sailor is very money-burning, and he continues to burn money. When the army is not in use, it can cultivate the land, but even if the ship is not used there, it has to spend money frequently to maintain.

Moreover, a ship often does not play a role, at least the size of its own sailors is not too far behind the enemy, and it will be valuable. One investment, not a warship, but a whole fleet.

Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty is often not enthusiastic about this.

Expanding the division was often only feasible in two cases: either the enemy had inflicted losses that were too great to exceed the high cost of the division. Either that, or the benefits brought by the sailor are so high that these costs are bearable.

The Ming Dynasty was forced to accept the former. But when the sailors were established and needed to be maintained for a long time because of the war, it became natural to pursue the latter in order to reduce the financial pressure.

In fact, the ocean trade route is not only important to the Purple Horde, but also a huge source of wealth for any country. Although the Ming Dynasty was the origin of all kinds of fine goods and seemed to be very rich, such a large tax was not a small number for them. These benefits, when you can't eat them, you don't feel important, once you experience them twice, you don't want to let go.

The second round of the war was fought mainly at sea, and although it was not as large as the previous one, it involved a much larger scope. The sailors of the Javanese Yuan and the Ming Dynasty fought from Ryukyu to Manraka, and the entire South Seas became a battlefield.

At one point, the Ming Dynasty built a garrison at Manraka in an attempt to jam the strait, cut off the trade routes of the Javanese Yuan, and trap them. While detouring to the south and looking for new routes, the Javanese Yuan allied with the Timurid Empire, defeated the Ming army, and recaptured the stronghold. A few years later, the Ming army sailed south from Cochin in an attempt to fight for the trade line again......

The scattered battles lasted until Zhu Yuanzhang's death. However, within a few years, the successor Emperor Zhu Biao launched a new war and tried to start from Luzon, and the two sides fought again. Strictly speaking, this round has continued until now, and it is not over.
