Lao Liu's mission of Buddhism to the Indochina Peninsula was not a whim, but a long-planned move.

The 10-year strategic plan he formulated for the Prime Minister's Maritime Affairs Yamen is called the 'Nanyang Raiders', which to put it bluntly means that Fujian and Guangdong will be the first, then the central and southern regions, and then the entire Nanyang sea area.

Although his energy is still involved in domestic affairs, and he has not even been involved in the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong, it does not prevent him from making arrangements in advance for the 'Nanyang Raiders'.

Lao Liu's 'Nanyang Raiders' actually copied the strategic route of the future Yongle Emperor. Touching the fourth brother to cross the river, it belongs to yes.

Zhu Di's Nanyang strategy back then was to develop both land and water, and each other was horns.

While he sent Zheng He to lead a fleet to sweep the waters of the South Seas, he also sent Zhang Fu and others to lead a large army to conquer Annam, so that it could return to the territory, and set up the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Department to rule directly.

The decision of Emperor Yongle's 'county and county Annan' is not what some people call a great achievement, but after careful consideration and has deeper strategic considerations-

Because after Annam was directly included in the rule, the Ming Dynasty could effectively control the entire Indochina Peninsula, and then close to the Champa, Siam, and Chenla countries, and far away to control Manraka and the peninsula's nearby Sumatra Thorns, Old Harbor, Guawa, Bo Ni and other countries.

In this way, echoing the invincible armada at sea, the entire South Sea can be firmly controlled in the hands. This then laid the foundation for the future strategy of the West.

The complete version of the fourth brother's strategic vision, that is at the historical level, it is right to grasp the medicine according to the prescription.

In this case, it is the basic operation to collect local intelligence in advance and cultivate the party that leads the way.

There is a saying that 'you can count on broken shoes and broken feet', and these tasks mainly have to be completed by the overseas personnel of the Municipal Shipping Division. If Zhu Zhen wants to count on these unreliable bald donkeys and cow noses, he really wants to be blind.

In fact, the real purpose of his mission to Buddhism and Taoism is to let them... Those who went to sea to preach.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which had long transitioned to building a state with secular imperial power as the core, these Nanyang countries, except for Annam, which was located in the Chinese cultural circle, were basically still in the stage of primary theocracy.

Their kings were incapable of forming a strong government to rule their country by administrative and military power, and had to rely on the power of Buddhism or Hinduism to maintain their rule. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that faith is the country in Nanyang.

The biggest feature of these two religions is that they can calm people's hearts, but the biggest disadvantage is that they are too calm, so most of the state regimes in Nanyang are extremely stretched, and they can't resist the Tianfang Religion that has just been introduced.

In less than a hundred years, Tianfang Christianity will sweep the entire South Seas, pushing Buddhism and Hinduism to the brink and dominating it alone. Until another hundred years later, more aggressive Catholicism arrived......

Therefore, whoever controls the beliefs of Nanyang will be able to rule Nanyang. If you don't actively compete, you can only watch others turn against the customer, grab food, and let Nanyang get out of the Chinese civilization circle.

Therefore, the sixth child wants to force Buddhism and Taoism to go out and rob the believers in Nanyang.

As for the effect, it can only be said that doing it is better than not doing it. Only after doing it can we know what problems and deficiencies there are, so that we can improve and strengthen them in a targeted manner......

Anyway, let's take the first step first.

~~

Women are the slowest to go out, and Zhang Xunzhen is no exception.

Fortunately, the sixth child came early today, and some waited patiently for her.

After giving the task to Zhang Maocheng, he gave Zhang Dazhen advice for free:

"I know why you are competing against Buddhism, right?"

......Of course, Zhang Maocheng can't admit it, but this is the truth. What does Your Highness think? ”

"Because others cultivate in the next life, you cultivate in this life. The next life is imperceptible, but it can be seen in this life, the real man ......" The sixth finally saw Zhang Xunzhen's belated figure, so he left Zhang Dazhen alone.

"The afterlife is undetectable, but it is visible in this life." Zhang Maocheng muttered and repeated this sentence, and was stunned.

The sixth child over there was also a little stunned, only to see Zhang Xunzhen after being carefully dressed, he looked more and more otherworldly, fairy-like, and the tea taste was even more fresh and pleasant. It's really called-

'The pupil cuts the water waist like a bundle, and a black yarn wraps the cold jade. Fluttering has its own posture, looking back at the powder delicacy is vulgar. ’

Seeing the straight eyes of the King of Chu, Zhang Xunzhen was secretly proud, and he took great pains to pick up this in vain.

"Your Highness, why are you so distracted?" She stretched out her slender little white hand and shook it in front of his eyes before she brought the sixth child back to his senses.

"Oh." The sixth child naturally held her hand and said, "Of course, it's to enjoy the flowers and the moon." ”

Zhang Dazhen, who was on the side of "cough cough ......", almost choked to death with saliva.

It's too much! Even if you send your sister to keep her safe, at least you can't do it directly in front of yourself!

Zhang Xunzhen hurriedly withdrew his hand, blushed and said, "Your Highness, please respect yourself, so many people are watching." ”

"This king weighs one hundred and eighteen, there should be no heavier than me, right?" The sixth laughed and said, "Let's go, don't let the eldest brother wait for a long time." ”

Zhang Xunzhen nodded, followed the sixth child and took a look, and did not forget to keep his distance from him.

Lao Liuchao waved his hand to Zhang Maocheng, who was sent to the door, and said, "Let's go, Zhang Dazhen." ”

As he spoke, he opened the curtain of the golden chariot and made a gesture to Zhang Xunzhen to please get into the car.

Zhang Xunzhen looked at his sedan chair, hesitated, and got into the car of the sixth child.

Zhang Maocheng watched the king of Chu's golden chariot go away, and his nose couldn't help but feel sour. Is this the price of freedom?

But after a moment of sourness, he smiled again.

Compared with the harvest, this price is very cost-effective......

~~

On the golden brim over there, Zhang Xunzhen sat opposite the sixth child, and said angrily: "You despise me in public again." ”

"Haha, come here a few more times, and you'll get used to it." The sixth laughed twice, looked at Zhang Xunzhen and said, "I can't let others guess about the relationship between the two of us, so I have to let them understand ......"

"Your Highness is quite upright and bright." Zhang Xunzhen asked speechlessly, "What is our relationship?" ”

"Improper relationship." The sixth is a serious way.

"You, you'll squint me all day long!" Zhang Xunzhen was ashamed and angry, but he couldn't lose the battle, so he smiled faintly and said: "But it doesn't matter, people outside the party are like floating clouds to me." Besides, he will return to Longhu Mountain with his eldest brother in a few days. ”

"Oh......" The sixth man really smiled and said, "Do you want to go back too?" ”

"How fresh is this, my mission is complete, what are you doing if you don't go home?" Zhang Xunzhen sighed faintly, and I said pitifully: "Staying in Nanjing without relatives, there are bad boys who bully me in different ways." ”

"Don't you have a godmother?" The sixth said in a muffled voice.

"No matter how good my godmother is to me, I have to go back to my own house." Zhang Xunzhen bit the word 'own home' very hard.

"Also, this king has long known that everything you do is to save your brother and to be righteous." The sixth laughed at himself and said, "Since the goal has been achieved, what are you still doing in the capital?" ”

A smile flashed in the corner of Zhang Xunzhen's eyes, but he nodded quietly: "That's right." ”
