In Siam.

Bien Vinh has been living in Siam for two years.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty and Siam did not border, and Siam pursued the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, and regarded the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, in fact, it was to pull the tiger skin of the Ming Dynasty for its own interests.

Now it's different, Daming borders Siam.

Moreover, the reputation of the Ming Dynasty was not good, and the Ming people were good at slaughtering, which made Siam feared like a tiger.

The Ming Emperor was even more domineering, forcing Siam to send people to cultivate for him, and sent people to Siam to extort grain, and now he wants to ask for slaves.

The Siamese court was very angry with the Ming people, and they all threatened to fight with the Ming Dynasty.

And the remnants of Gao Zongben's collapse of the city defense army have dissipated.

Siamese people remember whether they eat or not, and they feel that they can do it again.

In his spare time, Bian Yong wrote a "Guide to Living in the Rainy Season in Jiaozhi", which could not be printed in Siam, so he sent someone to send the manuscript to Jiaozhi and asked Xia Xun to help him print it.

He and Xia Xun used to work together in the Military Aircraft Division and were familiar with each other.

After reading this book, he helped Bian Yong transcribe the preface and proofread it before sending it to Yuzhou for printing and publicizing it.

At the beginning, Bian Yong couldn't stand such a long rainy season.

He was accustomed to being busy, endless for a year, and suddenly for half a year, he was forced to stay at home, and all work was forced to stop, just to escape the rainy season.

It is natural for people to go through the busy dry season and enter the leisure rainy season, and the sudden rush will make people slack and lazy.

In the book, Bian Yong discusses in detail how the rainy season affects people's personality and how to prevent it.

And his manuscript is being read by the Siamese king Lamei Xuan.

La Meixuan also changed her Chinese name to Liu Qi.

The reason why the surname is Liu is because there are many emperors with the surname Liu, and he originally wanted to be called Liu Yu, but he was refuted by Bian Yong, thinking that it was the emperor's name and no offense was allowed.

Liu Yu was enshrined in the Imperial Temple, but it is not something that you can call the lord of a small country.

Therefore, La Meixuan compared himself to Liu Yu and compared the emperor to Sima Deguang, and he picked Sima Deguang's skin sooner or later.

The Ming Dynasty merged Hue, Quang Nam, Quang Tri, and the land ceded from Laos to form Nam Ke Province.

The prefect of Nanke Mansion is now vacant, but Bian Yong learned that it was Yushi Qin Hong who came to serve as the prefect.

In the western part of Nam Ke Province, Chen had 30,000 troops to defend Cambodia, Laos and Siam.

The construction of Nanke Mansion was built by craftsmen sent by the Three Kingdoms, of course, this is something that Lameixuan and Liu Qi are eager to do, they want to crack the secret of the Ming Dynasty architecture.

However, the construction of castles and other buildings was completed by slaves from the Three Kingdoms.

The military defense was completed by the slaves of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Three Kingdoms were not allowed to watch.

However, the advanced architectural experience of the Ming Dynasty was also learned by them, and Liu Jue planned to build Seoul and change the name of the capital city to Seoul.

I heard that Seoul in North Korea was burned by the Ming Dynasty, so I immediately dispelled this idea, let's call it Dacheng.

Up and down Siam, they are changing their names, wearing Han clothes, and carrying out sinicization.

Guy was so strong that the Ming Dynasty was as hot as the sun, and he couldn't open his eyes to the subjects.

From the 10th to the 11th year of Jingtai, there were as many as 30,000 businessmen who came to Siam to do business, and the envoys of both sides each went seven times to deepen their familiarity with each other.

In fact, it was the Ming Dynasty that deepened its economic control over Siam.

In April of the 11th year of Jingtai, a Jinshi mission composed of the Hanlin Academy, consisting of 72 Jinshi, came to the royal capital of Siam with profound knowledge.

Help Siam to sinicize.

And most importantly, the paper that was brought to Siam!

That's right, Siam still uses bay leaves, and the paper is imported from the Ming Dynasty.

Siam voluntarily sinicized, and the emperor gave paper technology, let Ming merchants come to Siam to open paper mills, and let Siam's high-level use white paper.

The Ming merchants also passed ink and pens to teach the Siamese high-level to write Chinese.

Abandon your own script, and use Chinese as the official script.

Liu Qi is semi-actively sinicized.

He was suppressed by Gao Zongben's strong army, and was forced to use the era name of Jingtai in the eleventh year and give up his own era name.

And the Ming opened the passage of Siam, bordered each other, and became neighboring countries.

After borrowing land from Laos, Siam did not fight with the Ming army, but the strength of the Ming army, which is rare in the world, and the Siamese army is really not an opponent.

Therefore, Liu Jue took the initiative to sinicize, first, to seek advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty; The second is to buy ordnance from Daming.

He believed that the Ming army was strong in ordnance, not in the quality of soldiers.

The Great Emperor had given 2,000 firecrackers and was willing to sell them to Siam.

After receiving the firecracker, La Meixuan immediately changed her Chinese name and called Liu Qi.

He also sought the opportunity to buy a large number of muskets, and he sent a mission to negotiate.

"Angel, the lonely envoy returned to China, saying that His Majesty the Emperor was not in Beijing, but was fortunate to visit Nanjing, and it was the cabinet that ruled the court."

Liu Qi was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty the Emperor, aren't you afraid of losing power?" ”

He spoke broken Chinese, with the occasional Siamese intersperse.

Ben Yong is now very fluent in the Siamese language and even several dialects.

He not only communicated with Siamese officials, but also traded with some tribes.

He probably knows more about Siam than the King of Siam.

"The king doesn't know that the law of my Heavenly Dynasty is that the power of the prime minister belongs to the cabinet, and the cabinet ministers do not have a high status, they belong to His Majesty's secretary, and they are ordered by His Majesty;"

"And the civil and military are divided and balanced, and although the ministers exercise power, they have no real power;"

"Moreover, there are still five law divisions in my Celestial Empire, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department to supervise hundreds of officials, who dare to steal imperial power, should be impeached, even if the emperor is far away in Nanjing, he still controls the situation in the world."

Bian Yong analyzed in detail the power construction of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor has issued an order to promote the sinicization of the Three Kingdoms, and sent seventy-two scholars from the Hanlin Academy, as well as some folk scholars, to be recruited and sent to Siam to help Siam Siamese.

Liu Jue nodded slowly: "That is to say, His Majesty the Emperor will never lose his power?" ”

"If there is no prime minister, there will naturally be no ministers, and Wen is above the military, beware of the military generals and the formation of feudal towns."

"In the army, the guard system is also implemented, the soldiers do not know the generals, only recognize the emperor's order, and do not recognize anything else, so that His Majesty will always be in charge of the monarchy, and the power of the world will be attributed to the palace."

"Moreover, Your Majesty is very diligent in government, Your Majesty is in the morning every day, even if he is sick, he has never dropped out of the day, he has reviewed tens of thousands of songs every day, and his diligence is no less than that of Emperor Taizu, and even the courtiers in the world are worried about His Majesty's health."

Speaking of this, Bian Yong was very proud: "Your Majesty also practices benevolence, loves the people like parents and children, does not love luxury, does not love beauty, is lenient to the world, and knows the suffering of the people." ”

"As far as I know, even if Your Majesty is in Nanjing, he watches the music every day, and on the road he learns that the people are suffering, and he can't sleep well every night."

"Such a generous and diligent emperor is naturally loved by the people of the world."

As soon as Liu Jue heard that the Ming Emperor was diligent in government, his brain hurt.

He is also considered a Ming monarch, but he is tired of reviewing an hour's recital every day, and the Ming Emperor reviews at least four hours of recital, what kind of energy is this? Doesn't he have a concubine?

"Your Majesty's palace is covered with rain and dew, and the concubines all have heirs, and now there are more than ten dragon sons."

Bian Yong was proud of the emperor: "There are many people like me in Daming, but Your Majesty is willing to believe in me and appoint me as an envoy to Annam, Siam and other places to show my talent. ”

Liu Jue's brain hurts, when will the emperor die? I want to be Liu Yu.

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, Your Majesty is weak crown succession, and now he is in his prime, and he is extremely self-disciplined, not addicted to alcohol, this is the symbol of the emperor's longevity."

Wozh!

Liu Jue hid his face and sighed, he is over forty years old this year, can he live past the age of thirty?

How can a king not be lustful?

I can't wait to get out of bed every day.

"Angel, do you think that my big city can form a power structure of the Celestial Empire?" Liu Jue's face was full of hope, he also wanted to be an emperor with absolute imperial power.

Can you change the question?

Bian Yong is in trouble.

"Why do angels have such expressions? My big city is also the center of centralized power, and the power of the world is out of the palace, how can it not be? Liu Jue was not happy.

The Dacheng Dynasty began as a state founded by loose alliances.

Later, it was a little bit of power to form a centralized state.

The recollection of power is only a superficial phenomenon, and the unification obtained by political means is equivalent to a joint-stock company, and the king of Siam is only the chairman.

The Ming Dynasty is a wholly-owned start-up company, created by Emperor Taizu, which has a strong innate advantage.

Siam, once the real power of the old aristocracy is shaken, civil strife will break out, a bit like the gate valve family system, but their old aristocracy is the old aristocracy of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and they are in a semi-slave system, which is worse than the gate valve.

The gentry who were in power in the Ming Dynasty were not capable of resisting the center, so the emperor held absolute authority.

Liu Jue, the king of Siam, was not an emperor with absolute ability, and it was impossible to sweep away all the old nobles in Siam and establish a new Dacheng dynasty.

"Your Majesty, its effectiveness is to establish rule like the Ming Dynasty, and it can make your royal power last for a long time."

Get lost!

Liu Qi ran out of motivation.

Follow the example of the Ming Dynasty to build a power system, and I can't have absolute power like the Ming Emperor, so what am I tossing?

If I don't toss, can't I extend the national glory?

It's still the same!

Bian Yong returned in a huff.

The Jinshi Regiment is headed by Qi Shun.

is dancing in the Siamese court with long sleeves, vigorously promoting sinicization, and following the example of the Ming Dynasty in all aspects to build a power system.

Two days later, Qi Shun found Bian Yong and asked him what he had said to the King of Siam.

"Ambassador Bian, are you too realistic?"

Qi Shun was very speechless: "Siam is in chaos, it is beneficial to us, we are Ming people, Siamese Siam, just to rule Siam in the future!" ”

Bian never said a word, he took the Ming as his glory, and he didn't want the glory to be stained because of the darkness.

"Well, you don't have to get involved in this matter anymore, and when the rainy season is over, ask the mission to continue westward and send Ava."

Ava and Bago, are the two countries of Myanmar, Awa is on the top and is known as Upper Burma, and Bago is lower and is Lower Burma.

Bago is translated as Baigu in the Ming Dynasty.

The two dynasties, depleted by the forty-year war, are now in a time of respite.

It is the Xuanwei Division of the Ming Dynasty, and the relationship with the Ming Dynasty is naturally good, of course, as long as the Ming Dynasty is strong, the relationship with any country is good.

"Okay."

Bian Yong knew that Qi Shun would not allow him to sabotage the implementation of Siamese Hanization.

It was an order of the emperor.

Siam, which was sinicized, was easier to rule after the occupation.

"Ambassador Bien, Burma is not a powerful country, but according to the Siamese history books, the war potential is huge, and its citizens are very good at warfare."

Qi Shun instructed: "When you arrive in Ava and Bagu, you must focus on friendship. ”

"I know."

When the rainy season passed, the emperor would send a large number of rewards, and then the mission would go west.

During this time, Bian Yong could not enter the palace to meet the King of Siam.

Another mission, departing from Beijing, traveled through the Central and Southern countries, and arrived in August of the 11th year of Jingtai.

This mission was ordered by the emperor, and the ambassador was Chen Jiayou.

Chen Jiayou is a second-year jinshi of Jingtai, and he will take the first place in the exam!

In the second year of Jingtai, but in the famous year of the imperial examination, countless talents emerged, such as Wang Yue, Yu Zijun, Ke Qian, Mu Feng, Lin E, He Wei, Yang Shouchen, Zhang Ge, Xia Xun, Gao Ming, Qin Hong, etc., all of whom were Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai.

The emperor did not agree at first, because Chen Jiayou served as a walker in the military aircraft department, and he was very talented, and the emperor loved him very much.

However, Chen Jiayou tried his best to persuade the emperor that only when he sent a soldier to poison his body and was a close minister of His Majesty could he be poisoned.

At the end of the ninth year of Jingtai, it was decided to poison the body.

Yu Jingtai's mission left Beijing in March of the 10th year, and traveled for a full year and five months, visiting all the countries in Central and South China, and finally arrived at the body poison.

Now it is a completely new regime that controls the poison of the northern body.

Chen Jiayou translated as the Luodi Dynasty and was established in the second year of Jingtai.

Such a young regime, in Chen Jiayou's eyes, actually looks old.

The first king, Bahrul Rodi, was the governor of Sindh of the Sayyid dynasty and established a new dynasty by seizing the capital city of Delhi.

It's like a joke, just like the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Shichong defeated Luoyang and became the emperor? The world is subdued?

However, this is not surprising in the body.

Once the capital is occupied, you can establish a state, and the rest is up to you.

Chen Jiayou listened to the proud explanation of the poisonous king, and felt very funny.

After reading the map, I realized that the rule of the Rhodi Dynasty was limited to the north, Sindh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and other regions.

Da Ming is very, very unfamiliar with body poison, and he still understands it by reading the history books of the Yuan Dynasty.

After a short exchange, he learned that there was a mistake in the translation, poison, and a translation error, which is more accurately translated as Indian.

However, India does not seem to know that its name is India.

That's interesting.

Is this a country, or is it a tribe?

Chen Jiayou found an interesting thing, India did not know its own history, its own history, and it actually knew from the mouth of a Ming person.

Chen Jiayou gave a vivid history lesson to the monarchs and ministers of the Luodi Dynasty, and it turned out to be about the history of India, how ridiculous.

Luo Di suddenly said, this is how we came.

Then, it's gone.

It wasn't written down either.

There is no historian in the palace, and his history is as if he is listening to a story, and he forgets it after listening to it.

Moreover, there is no paper in India either!

The text is written on the bay leaf, just like Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia, and they are all written on the bay leaf.

There are mistakes in history, Chen Jiayou clearly remembers, it is recorded in the history of the Tang Dynasty that the Tang people introduced papermaking to India, so why is there no paper in India?

"Our paper is precious, and we are to keep the scriptures." Here's how Rodi explains.

Chen Jiayou was dumbfounded, paper is not used to record culture, but to record scriptures?

Don't Indians read?

Of course I read it.

But Indians are more inclined to mathematics and business, which makes Chen Jiayou scoff, especially businessmen.

Chen Jiayou expects to live in India for two to three years and open up the trade route from India to Daming before returning to Daming.

His mission consisted of 782 men and 5,000 guards, including cavalry, infantry, musketeers, sailors, and so on.

The mission was mainly composed of people who were proficient in the language and were good at foreign languages, and when they arrived in India, they had to learn the local language and then record everything.

The road was long, and three people died of illness on the way.

Chen Jiayou wanted to bring back to India books, special products, and all things about Buddhism, and bring Buddhism back to the Ming Dynasty completely.

They brought gifts from His Majesty the Emperor, hundreds of carts of important items, as well as books, porcelain, silk, tea, paper and other valuables from the Ming Dynasty.

However, King Rhodi only liked mundane things such as gold and silver, and ignored books.

After living for a while, Chen Jiayou asked King Luo Di to allow the envoy to view Indian books.

This set of processes will not be able to rectify Luo Di, so if you want to read the broken book, you can read it, and you still need to allow it? What's the matter, Da Ming's book is still not read?

Don't say it, no one talks about Daming's books, and you won't be able to understand them for the rest of your life.

Chen Jiayou got a lot of classics from the previous dynasties, and it seems that many of them are unique books, and King Luo Di actually gave them directly to the mission.

On the way, the mission learned the Hindi language.

Once they had the books, they began to study Indian books and began translating them.

However, there was not enough paper, Chen Jiayou and others went to buy it, and found that there was no place to sell paper, so it was difficult to find a place to sell paper, and the price was staggering.

Chen Jiayou decided to use Bayeux as well.

Why is the Indian language like a ghost drawing?

Because it is written on bay leaves, it is impossible to write serious words.

And why the Chinese characters of the Ming Dynasty are calligraphy, because they are written on paper!

Writing calligraphy on bay leaves, no kidding.

"Gentlemen, you can only rely on memory."

Chen Jiayou began to memorize, and the people of the mission divided it into points and memorized all the books.

These books are also to be brought back to the Ming Dynasty, in case the books are damaged on the road, they have to be written out silently by memory.

Luo Di was eating, drinking, and having fun in the palace, and when he heard that the Ming envoy was reading behind closed doors, he laughed at the stupidity of the Ming people, what was there to read about those books?

The missions are all liberal arts students.

The books of ancient India are the most exquisite in mathematics, medicine, and astronomy, and the literature is far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty.

It's really hard for liberal arts students to memorize math formulas.

It was Indian traditional Chinese medicine that allowed Chen Jiayou and others to discover the new world.

Indian Chinese medicine and Ming Chinese medicine are the same, both are based on the core of treating diseases and treating people first, and create a medical system.

India also has one more course, surgery, the prototype of surgery!

As if opening the door to a new world, Chen Jiayou's mission held the book of Indian medicine written on Bayeux in his hand.

The name of this book was given by Chen Jiayou, there is no name in the book, after Chen Jiayou read through it, he guessed that it should be his real name, which is limited to speculation.

As we all know, the emperor attaches great importance to the medical Tao, and opens up Jiaozhi, taking the medical Tao as the first.

Among the missions, there are more than 20 people who are proficient in medical skills, and there are also 14 imperial doctors.

"Sleeve infusion? Wouldn't that hurt flesh? ”

A doctor shouted: "There is also a soldering iron to burn hemorrhoids and do eye surgery, oh my God, it is also written in detail how to practice knife work!" ”

"Isn't this Hua Tuo's green bag book?" There was a doctor who exclaimed.

There are detailed methods of using corpses to practice surgery, and there are even methods of surgical treatment for infertility.

The way to treat the disease is astonishing.

"Demon book, this is a demon book!"

Some people are crazy, they have studied medicine all their lives, and they have never seen a knife to split people and perform surgery, isn't that fatal?

In this book, there are also prescriptions for scrofula (tuberculosis), smallpox rash, leprosy lesions, rabies bites, and so on.

"This is a treasure book!" Zhou Zhengfang shouted.

Zhou Zhengfang is Jingtai's nine-year Enke Jinshi, he is good at medical skills, so he was selected by Honglu Temple.

"Ambassador Chen, this Indian medical skill seems to be more developed than that of the Ming Dynasty, and this medical book is definitely more than this, there must be more medical books!"

Zhou Zhengfang stood up excitedly: "We must bring these medical books back to Daming." ”

"This surgery, I, I think it's very likely to be a new door."

"If this treatment is effective, then we will create a new way of medicine."

Zhou Zhengfang walked back and forth excitedly.

Although Chen Jiayou is not very careful about medical skills, he also knows a thing or two: "The loss of the green capsule book is a great regret of my country's medical skills, and now that the green capsule book has reappeared in the world, it must be brought back." ”

"India doesn't pay attention to books, but I'm a book lover, and since we're here, we have to collect books in large quantities."

"When necessary, you can send someone back first, and ask the army to escort us back home."

Everyone nodded, and with His Majesty's fondness for books, they would definitely agree.

Zhou Zhengfang looked at the imperial doctor: "All the imperial doctors, when necessary, you should ask you to debate with Indian doctors, please don't sweep away your self-cherishment, even if you lose, there is no shame, when the strengths of scholars, after all, this place is more religious, and I am more pragmatic, should learn the real skills." ”

"The lower officials and others know it." The Imperial Physician bowed and saluted.

When they left Beijing, the emperor sent an edict to them, on the one hand, to take care of the mission, and on the other hand, to find a cure against the disease of cochin.

The mission worked together and soon all the books were translated.

Chen Jiayou entered the palace again and asked King Luo Di for more books.

Thanks to Emperor Ming's generous moves, otherwise King Luo Di would have driven away this group of nerds, went to a foreign country, and was still reading at home, with a hole in his head, right?

He gave all the collections in the original palace to the Ming people.

Chen Jiayou discovered many medical books.

These medical books were written in Bayeux and did not have the author's name on them, not even the name of the book.

It was found in the garbage by the courtiers who cleaned the palace and sold it to Chen Jiayou for a dollar.

It's all medical books.

If Chen Jiayou hadn't bought it, they would have thrown it away.

"The Collection of the Eight Branches", "The Collection of the Eight Branches", "The Collection of the Eight Works", "The Collection of the Eight Branches", "The Collection of the Buddha Buddha", etc.

These names were all filled in by Chen Jiayou.

He took the name of the book according to the contents of the book, and the people deliberated on it.

These precious books were treated as garbage, which added another layer to Chen Jiayou's contempt for India.

The mission was well manned and soon translated all the medical books.

These books, which are somewhat similar to the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, can be combined into one book.

But now no one has the courage to dare to recompile the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures, and they have to bring them back to the Ming Dynasty, and after all parties discuss them, they will make a decision.

However, the doctor from the Tai Hospital came back and brought back very unfortunate news.

The level of doctors in the royal capital of Delhi is very low, far inferior to the imperial doctors of the Ming Dynasty, and even they don't know what surgery is, and the level of Chinese medicine is very inferior.

"This is really a magical country, the treasure of my own country, and no one has learned it." Chen Jiayou was speechless.

Ming people love books like life, and they abandon it here like a shoe.

The great works of their ancestors were treated as rubbish, and the folk doctors did not know about these precious works.

"Can we bring all the books from India back to Daming?"

Deputy envoy Zhang Yuanzhen made a major decision: "Anyway, they don't pay attention to books, only money, let's first collect books in the palace, and then go to the people to buy ancient books." ”

"No matter what kind of book, as long as it's a book, we will accept it."

"Your Majesty has a lot of money, let's spend more money to buy books, Your Majesty will definitely not feel distressed."

This caused a burst of laughter.

The emperor cherished books, which made the scholars very satisfied, especially the emperor's public collection of royal books, which was very prestigious among the people, and it was even rumored that he was the first emperor to love books in the ages.

"But how do you get it back?" Chen Jiayou smiled bitterly.

Yes, it's easy to collect, but it's hard to transport back.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty will eventually clear Yunnan, if you go abroad from Yunnan and pass through Shangmei, you will be able to reach the Bengal tribe, and through Bangladesh, you will be able to take the boat to our side."

Zhang Yuanzhen said: "Or climb over the snow-capped mountains and return to China from Wusizhen." ”

Chen Jiayou said quietly: "It is best to take the waterway, and the sea route is the fastest." ”

"What if the boat capsizes in the face of wind and waves? These books are gone! Zhou Zhengfang objected.

"Why don't we write in Bayeux too?" Zhang Yuanzhen said.

"With bay leaves? Wouldn't that be degraded? Some envoys felt that this was a barbarian practice and disdained it.

"No!"

"The words on the bay leaf are not afraid of water and are not perishable."

"This place is so hot, after we write on paper, it's easy to drop words and flowers."

"It's very likely that all your hard work will go down the drain due to poor storage."

"There are bay leaves everywhere here, we can copy a few more copies, and then transport them back to China, even if one is damaged, the others can be compared."

Zhang Yuanzhen said: "Actually, we don't need to write, hire locals to write, and we pay money." ”

"But you can't let one person write, take the book apart, gather a lot of people to transcribe, break up the transcription, and don't allow them to learn it."

"After writing, let's collect all the books and transport them back to China by road."

"Even if you lose all the way due to an accident, it won't lead to the complete loss of the whole book."

"Gentlemen, what do you think?"

It's a good idea!

Although the history of Indians is not as long as that of China, it is not short, it is a splendid ancient civilization, and there must be a lot of books.

Collecting thousands of people is definitely not enough.

Paying someone to write is the best way to do it.

"Moreover, if we get through the trade route, there will be Ming businessmen coming over."

"Collecting books is not an overnight thing, it is to collect little by little, and when the merchants are here, it will be more convenient for us to act."

"Of course, we can also encourage Indian businessmen to sell books to Daming, which is more convenient than buying them."

Chen Jiayou saluted deeply to Zhang Yuanzhen: "These precious books were sent back to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Gong was the first credit. ”

"Don't dare to call Zhang Gong."

"Your transportation of these books back to China is enough to call Zhang Gong." Chen Jiayou said seriously.

Just do it.

The mission braved the scorching heat and studied Indian books every day.

India has a unique talent for medicine, mathematics, astrology, and religion.

Qin Tianjian is calculating the calendar.

Chen Jiayou plans to invite Indian astronomical masters to serve as officials in the Ming Dynasty.

However, King Rhodi was embarrassed to say that there were no masters in his kingdom who were proficient in astronomy.

He also offered to see the astronomical instruments made by his predecessors.

"What instrument?" King Luo Di didn't know that observing astronomy required instruments.

Ancient India did not attach importance to the production of instruments, only put forward theories, and later generations even forgot the theory and did not understand astronomy.

Only then did Chen Jiayou know that today's India has been seriously degraded, far from being comparable to the splendid civilization of the past.

But this is also a good thing, these books were shipped back to Daming, and Daming took the essence and went back to the furnace to rebuild.

In just one month, the Ming mission translated all the royal books of the Luodi Dynasty.

1,000 people, even if they don't sleep for 12 hours, the translation can be completed in a month, which shows that there are few books, and this is still a royal collection.

Look at the Ming Dynasty again, the emperor opened the royal collection of books, and people all over the world have copied them for more than three years, and the transcription has not been completed, which shows that the vast number of Han books is like smoke.

"Ambassador, I think the books will be hidden in the ruins, and we can spend money to buy them."

Zhang Yuanzhen loves books, and he is the only person in the Ming Mission who has read all the books.

Chen Jiayou sent people to collect books in the royal capital.

The Ming mission had nothing to do, and it was actually chronicling India, and India's own people did not repair history, so the Ming Dynasty helped him to repair it.

At the same time, Chen Jiayou sent people back to Daming and asked Daming to send more people to India.

Zhou Zhengfang took all the copies of the medical books, led a thousand people, and returned according to the original route, he set out from Delhi, the capital of India, and lasted a month, and arrived in Ava, Shangmen.

At this time, it was learned that the Ming Dynasty had swallowed the territory of Annam and Zhancheng, and had opened up the passage to Bago in Lower Burma from the sea.

Zhou Zhengfang took a boat to the south, and it took nearly half a month to find the Daming boat branch at the southern end of the Bago Dynasty, and returned to Jiaozhi by boat.

The return trip took less than three months.

Mainly because there were too many rewards when I went, and the trip was seriously delayed, and it was not only to India, but to all countries, so it took one year and five months.

It took three months to come back and travel lightly, but it was still because I didn't know that Daming was all right.

Otherwise, if you take the sea route, twenty days will do.

Cochin, the vast area south of Quang Nam Province, is divided into two provinces, Binh Duong and Tsing Duong, and Xia Xun is mainly responsible for the immigration, resettlement, and defense construction of these two provinces.

Wang Wei's Jiaozhi sailor is located on Jinou Bay.

Zhou Zhengfang disembarked at Jinou Bay and took a boat to Binh Duong, which is not far north of Ho Chi Minh City.

This place is the two government offices of Pingyang and Qingyang.

"Indians don't love books?"

Xia Xun was also taken aback: "The Kushan Dynasty and the Peacock Dynasty were so strong back then, they have already declined. ”

"Qi Yu Bu political envoy, this King of Luodi has Turkic ancestry, claims to be a Mongol, and is related to the Ming Dynasty."

When Zhou Zhengfang said this, he couldn't help laughing.

India doesn't know what the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia is, and it's still close.

"Hahaha!"

Xia Xun is a political envoy of Jiaozhi, and his illness has been cured.

"Xia Guan brought back a lot of books, but because of the lack of paper in India, he could only write them on Bayeux temporarily."

Not only India writes with bay leaves, but the whole of Central and South China writes with bay leaves.

Like Champa and Annam, many documents are written in Bayes, and now these folk remnants of the literature have been sent to Beijing, and after being sorted out by the Hanlin Academy, they will pass through the world.

Zhou Zhengfang wanted Xia Xun to see it.

Xia Xun waved his hand: "I'll look at it when the translation comes, according to what Ling said, this Indian culture is as brilliant as my Daming?" ”

"My lord, to be precise, ancient India is more splendid, and today's India is already a cultural desert."

Zhou Zhengfang talked about things in India and said: "Have you ever seen that I gave a lone book to a foreign minister? ”

That's impossible.

The only books in the palace are all copied and then stored in several places, so the inheritance of Huaxia has never been broken.

Xia Xun thought more complicated than Zhou Zhengfang.

The Ming Dynasty had already established a sea connection with the Bago Dynasty in Lower Burma, crossing Siam and connecting with the Bago Dynasty.

Is it possible to continue westward and establish contact with India by sea?

"I'm afraid it won't work, the kingdom we are in is the kingdom of the north, and the south is still at war, and they are not the same country as each other."

"That's okay, as long as there is a regime, I won't refuse my Daming's goods." Xia Xun is confident.

Wang Wei was in charge of the Jiaozhi Sailor, mainly to explore the trade in the west.

The fairway was taken from Siam.

"According to what you say, the people of India are no longer ancient, they only focus on money, not culture."

Xia Xun asked, "How are the Indians?" ”

"They are very lazy, they don't know what culture is, they are mainly faith-based, they have studied the scriptures deeply, they are open-minded and optimistic, but their people are very weak, and their country is very weak."

Zhou Zhengfang was a little skeptical: "I see that the ruling class seems to look different from the common people. ”

"Our people are making chronicles for India, and there should be an answer soon."

Because the Ming missions were all studying books, they didn't know much about India as a whole.

"Looks different? What does this mean? ”

Xia Xun pointed at himself, and then pointed at Zhou Zhengfang: "Are you and I the same?" ”

"Although the details are different, you and I are the same, with the same roots."

Zhou Zhengfang said: "But when I walked on the streets of Delhi, I found that its people were extremely dark, and King Luo Di had fair skin, which resembled our complexion. ”

"The dove occupies the magpie's nest!"

Xia Xun suddenly realized: "The ruler of this India is a foreign race!" ”

"This interracial gap is too big!"

Zhou Zhengfang smiled bitterly: "Let's just say that I am in China, and I have also been ruled by Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang, Mongolia and other foreign races, but they look the same as ours, but the culture is different and the region is different." ”

"The people I see in India are different."

Xia Xun is also blindfolded, what a strange thing.

"Did the Indians resist?" Xia Xun asked.

Zhou Zhengfang shook his head: "They attach great importance to faith, and they don't seem to pay much attention to who they are enslaved by. ”

"Hahaha!"

Xia Xun actually laughed: "Born a slave clan, Da Ming can buy a slave this time!" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Zhengfang was stunned, where to follow.

"Zhou Zhengfang, this official asked you, you were enslaved as a slave, what do you think?" Xia Xun asked.

"Patience when the power is insufficient, resistance when the power is sufficient, I Han people are not slaves, this is an iron law." Zhou Zhengfang said generously.

"But what about the Indians?"

Zhou Zhengfang suddenly said: "Indians don't resist!" It is clear that there are a few people who rule them, but they do not resist, and they value faith and ignore the world, isn't this a natural slave! ”

"But!"

"My lord, the Indians are very lazy, and they do not want to work, and they spend their days in the sect."

"Moreover, their beliefs are very important, and they are slaves to the Ming Dynasty, and these beliefs are naturally introduced to the Ming Dynasty."

"Your Majesty is very wary of matters of faith, and the center does not seem to suppress it, but in fact it is not allowed to spread."

"If it ......"

Zhou Zhengfang was worried that the spread of faith in India would affect the Ming Dynasty.

Xia Xun waved his hand: "These are all small sections, we urgently need slaves now, and having slaves is more important than anything else." ”

As he spoke, the slave moved the Bayeux book into the palace for no apparent reason.

Xia Xun frowned: "These slaves are very difficult to use, and if you don't stare at them a little, it will ruin your good deeds." ”

"When did the officer let you touch these things?"

"Drag it out and give it ten lashes!"

"Whoa!" There are guards who promise.

Xia Xun said: "These Annan people are very hostile to the Ming Dynasty, and not long after this official became the political envoy, he was assassinated three times. ”

"When there are new slaves, these people are all sent to mine and build roads."

"These damn it! If you damage these books, you will not be punished by killing them! ”

Xia Xun was very angry: "Without the order of this official, whoever lets people in again will be killed!" ”

"The last general is guilty!"

The guards outside the door are also wronged, these are your personal slaves, what are they going to do, what do we do?

In fact, the killing rate of the Han people in Jiaozhi soared, mainly because these Annam slaves did not obey the control, and suddenly turned from people to slaves, and there was inevitably resentment in their hearts.

And the gentry who moved from Jiangnan were not very wary of slaves, so this kind of thing happened.

"These books ......"

Xia Xun saw the Baye Book and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Zhou Zhengfang, you said that these books were translated and turned into Ming books, should they be burned?" ”

"What?" Zhou Zhengfang didn't understand.

Xia Xun smiled sadly: "India doesn't pay attention to culture, so let's move all the books from India to Daming and become the culture of Daming!" ”

"Then burn the original Indian text and let the Indian civilization disappear into the world!"

"As long as the books are in Chinese, that's my Ming culture!"

"I am the only one in the world, and I am the only country with a source civilization!"

"Unique!"

"Other countries, not worthy!"

Zhou Zhengfang looked at Xia Xun who looked like he was crazy, and shuddered.

"Zhou Zhengfang, you said that during the same period, my Han civilization was more brilliant? Or is he more splendid Indian civilization? ”

Although it is difficult to compare, Indian civilization is indeed splendid.

"Then it should be destroyed!"

Xia Xun is a paranoid, just as he lured out the king of Champa and killed him, he also slaughtered the entire country of Champa in order to kill the king of Champa.

For this, the Ming army lost more than 100,000 people.

He didn't feel guilty, but felt that only in this way could the Ming Dynasty completely rule this territory.
