Chapter 105: Sin is in the present generation, and merit is in the future!
Pinghaice, it was Yu Qian who saw Zhu Gaoyu's methods of dealing with Manchuria, and felt that it was too extreme, so he wrote a strategy based on what he had seen and heard overseas during this time, as well as his own ideas.
In his thinking, if you want to completely manage overseas territories, you need to be envied and co-opted, which is the way to long-term stability.
Excessive killings can easily provoke revolts from overseas people, and if they are not suppressed quickly, the situation will be completely eroded.
At that time, not only did the imperial court spend time, effort and money, but also delayed the operation of maritime trade, which was not beneficial to the imperial court.
"Your Highness, the student thinks ......"
As soon as Yu Qian was about to explain his thoughts, Zhu Gaoyu stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Listen to me first."
"First, because this place is far away from my Ming Dynasty, the imperial court does not have so much time and energy, so slowly boil frogs in warm water."
"Second, even if you have time to implement your strategy, it will still create huge problems later."
Zhu Gaoyu habitually knocked on the table.
"We control the overseas territories, and if we want to have them for a long time, we have to immigrate."
"And once we emigrate, our people will have a conflict of interest with the local people. At that time, no matter which side our court is on, or even to deal with these conflicts fairly and justly, it will be an unfair method in the eyes of the people on both sides. β
Looking at Yu Qian, who was deep in thought, Zhu Gaoyu continued: "For example, overseas land is equivalent to one acre of land, and these natives are equivalent to the original owners of these lands, and our court is the landlord. β
"Our landlord came over, took away the right to manage and use, and used various means to make the original owner acquiesce to all this."
"But our landlord wants to leave this land completely and leave his name here, so he will send someone over and actually cultivate this land."
"But this acre of land is so big, the original owner is not enough, and another one will grab food."
"Maybe they will be afraid of the landlord and dare not resist, but for those Ming people with the same status as them, they have no fear."
"A little bit of land or even a piece of soil can cause a quarrel between the two parties."
"And once they quarrel, the court, as the head of the family, must stand up and give them a verdict."
"At that time, no matter how the court decides, there will be complaints in the hearts of both parties."
"The original owner will think that you are your own people, and you will definitely join forces to bully me."
"And the people who migrated here will think, you asked me to come here thousands of miles to farm, but something happened and they were not on my side."
After saying this, Zhu Gaoyu patted Yu Qian's Pinghaice again.
"And the method you propose will run into this kind of trouble in the future."
"So in order to do it once and for all, I chose to erase the original owner, take down the whole piece of land, and give it to my people to plant."
"That way, I get ownership of the land, I get a profit for my people, and I also get more taxes, so why not."
Yu Qian was silent.
He only thought about how to deal with it, but he didn't think about the trouble that would come later after dealing with it.
Oh, yes.
If he followed his method, the people of the Ming immigrants later had a conflict with the locals, no matter how they were judged, they would cause dissatisfaction.
Once the local resentment accumulates too much, rebellions will still occur.
Although His Highness's methods are a bit extreme, I have to say that it is indeed a good solution.
Looking at Yu Qian, who was silent, Zhu Gaoyu said to him with a smile: "In fact, there is another important reason. β
Yu Qian raised his head and listened carefully.
Zhu Gaoyu nodded with satisfaction and preached: "There is actually a difference between our own people and these aliens. β
"If we move the people here, no matter how the Central Plains region changes in the future, the people who migrated here will never forget that they are the descendants of Yan and Huang, and once the court calls in the future, they will immediately return to the embrace of the race."
"But these aliens are different."
"Ancient and modern, how many imperial courts have these guys taken refuge in, although they pay tribute every year, are they really loyal?"
"I can tell you this, when the Ming Dynasty is strong, they will surrender, but one day in the future, our Ming will fall, or even be replaced, they will not leave half a tear for my Ming Dynasty. will even stomp on my Daming a few times in order to tie up with the new master. β
"They don't even care if this new master is a Yanhuang person or not."
After saying so many words, Zhu Gaoyu picked up the teacup next to him, moistened his throat, and said seriously at Yu Qian: "My methods of dealing with these alien races are indeed a bit extreme, but for me Yanhuang, it is harmless. β
"I have carried the infamy of eternity, and they call me the devil, but I don't care!"
"As long as this land, no matter how it changes in the future, it will be printed with my Yanhuang name, then everything I carry will be worth it."
"All in all, in a word, the sin is in the present generation, and the merit is in the future!"
"The sin is in the present generation, and the merit is in the future!"
Yu Qian muttered these eight words in his mouth, looking at His Royal Highness who was smiling and drinking tea opposite, and his expression showed respect.
"Let's finish the first half of your Pinghaice, let's talk about your thoughts on various countries."
Zhu Gaoyu opened the Pinghaice of Yuqian, knocked on the second half of the content and said: "Your idea is to unite countries with commerce and trade, so that all countries can unite and develop together under the name of Daming under the implication of interests." β
"You're thinking."
Zhu Gaoyu first praised it, and then said directly: "But it's too naΓ―ve." β
"Profit is really moving, but when one day we don't offer it, they will think about us."
"Also, the southeast sea is too small to accommodate so many countries and forces, and it is enough to have one of our Ming Dynasty."
"And this is also the gate of the south of my Ming Dynasty, if we don't control it when we are strong, there will be countless cows, ghosts, snakes and gods at the door of our own house in the future."
Yu Qian nodded thoughtfully, and said, "But so many countries, if you go through them one by one, the waste of time and money is not a little bit." β
Zhu Gaoyu asked with a smile: "Have you heard of Qin's method of destroying the Six Kingdoms?" β
Yu Qian nodded and replied, "I understand." β
Zhu Gaoyu asked again: "Where is Man Lai plus the last side?" β
"Siam!" Yu Qian replied directly.
Zhu Gaoyu bowed his head and said: "Siam is the most powerful country in the southeast sea except for my Ming Dynasty, and this country once prevented Manraka and other countries from paying tribute to our Ming Dynasty. β
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't heard of this, and he thought that Siam would pay tribute at the beginning.
Briefly mentioning the Kingdom of Siam, Zhu Gaoyu continued: "Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms is complicated, but it is actually simple. β
"It's nothing more than internal disintegration, driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, first defeating the strong, and then conquering the weak, as for the one who is not strong or weak, it is naturally in the grasp."
Zhu Gaoyu said, dipping his tea and drawing a simple figure on the table.
"The entire southeast coastal area is actually no different from the period of the Six Kingdoms."
"I'm just like that strong Qin, if I want to take the entire southeast sea, I can follow Qin's method of destroying the Six Kingdoms."
Although Yu Qian was still immature, his brain was not stupid, and he quickly figured out some things, and said carefully: "Your Highness, are you planning to use the benefits of commerce and trade to disrupt the internal affairs of various countries, or use interests as a temptation to unite small countries and attack those powerful countries. β
Yu Qian thought of the two of them again, and the Siam country just mentioned, and instantly understood Zhu Gaoyu's next plan.
Zhu Gaoyu smiled and didn't say anything more, Yu Qian was also a sensible person, so he didn't ask this question again.
Standing up and bowing to Zhu Gaoyu, Yu Qian said seriously: "Thank Your Highness for your kindness, Yu Qian is unforgettable." β
Zhu Gaoyu nodded with a smile, walked up to Yu Qian's side and helped him up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are a very talented child, but you are a little immature in practice and cognition of the world." β
"It's better to be like this, the new governor of Manraiga is still recuperating from his injuries, and he can't handle the affairs here for the time being."
"You follow him first, do him a favor, and learn from this experience by the way, and when I turn around, I will come back to the west, and I want to go back with him."
Hearing such an arrangement, a flash of gratitude flashed in Yu Qian's eyes.
The highness in front of him not only pointed out his shortcomings, but even arranged for him to make up for his study.
To be honest, this opportunity is really rare.
If Yu Qian learns military and political experience here, it will be of infinite help to him in the future imperial examination and future.
To be honest, if it weren't for His Highness in front of him, who was not a few years different in age from him, he would have doubted his background.
In this world, who can teach and help others so seriously except for their own father.
"Why don't you?"
Seeing that Yu Qian didn't agree for a long time, Zhu Gaoyu frowned slightly.
I have mentioned so much to the other party, and I have talked about so many life experiences, if this kid still refuses to be thousands of miles away, then Daming may not have Yu Shaobao in the future.
Again, if it is not used by me, it will be killed by me.
Xia Yuanji's gang of old guys, Zhu Gaoyu is not easy to do, and Yu Qian, a little guy who has not yet emerged, Zhu Gaoyu wants to do something, which is no different from pinching an ant to death.
"Your Highness, can you tell the students why all this is?"
Yu Qian was silent for a while, and finally couldn't hold it back, so he asked curiously.
The meaning of his words is very clear, I am just an ordinary student, and you are a high prince with so much power.
For the sake of my little person, you have delayed for so long to explain to me my doubts, do you think too highly of me?
Zhu Gaoyu laughed when he heard this, and patted Yu Qian's brain.
"Without him, I just look at you to the eye, is this reason enough?"
Yu Qian was stunned, looked at Zhu Gaoyu with a smile on his face, suddenly grinned, and fell to the ground respectfully.
"The students are willing to stay in Manraka and study government affairs with the new governor."
Manraiga's liquidation work lasted for more than half a month before it was completed.
According to statistics, the number of people who were wiped out was as high as 400,000, and there was even a Siamese army that wanted to take advantage of it.
Regarding this matter, Zhu Gaoyu pretended not to know, and the Siam side did not find out the pulse of the Ming Dynasty, and withdrew after suffering a little loss.
This time, Zhu Gaoyu focused on exploration, and never thought about a large-scale war.
If it weren't for Manlai Jiaguo's own death, Zhu Gaoyu would not have chosen to do it at this time.
The army under his command is still mainly cold weapons, and the guns on the ships are still old-fashioned artillery.
After confirming that Siam did not dare to move, Zhu Gaoyu left a guard of men and horses and continued to set off with the main fleet.
There are some examples of Manchuria, and in order to get more business opportunities, Zhu Gaoyu is on the way west, and the countries are called respectful and enthusiastic.
Some kings, when they heard about the occupation of the city, directly arranged for their daughters and granddaughters to serve Zhu Gaoyu.
Zhu Gaoyu couldn't laugh or cry about this.
Good fellow, when did he become a demon in the middle of lust?
I wanted to refuse, but the countries were too enthusiastic.
Some kings even shouted directly that if Zhu Gaoyu didn't want their daughters and granddaughters, it would definitely be their daughters and granddaughters, which did not meet Zhu Gaoyu's appetite.
can't please Shangjun, so what's the use of asking for it, Zhu Gaoyu refused here, and he threw people directly into the river and drowned.
Looking at the poor little beauties, Zhu Gaoyu couldn't bear to die like this, so he accepted it directly in the name of the maid.
By the time Zhu Gaoyu arrived in Ceylon, the number of princesses and maids from various countries who accompanied him had reached more than 100.
Looking at the warblers and swallows, the little princesses from all over the world who sit together and talk about the world every day, Zhu Gaoyu felt a sigh of shame in his heart.
Thinking about going back like this, how to explain it to my daughter-in-law.
As for Xu being a daughter-in-law to his subordinates, Zhu Gaoyu didn't think about it.
But as soon as this idea came to mind, he vetoed it.
It's not that he is reluctant, but the identity and origin of these women are not suitable for this.
In the end, in desperation, Zhu Gaoyu decided to take it with him like this, anyway, he needs someone to serve him everywhere, compared to the big men of the Zuo Army, aren't the little girl's tender hands fragrant.
Besides, he worked so hard for the Ming Dynasty to expand his territory, so he couldn't enjoy it.
There are no problems here in Ceylon, and Jiang Yue, this little guy, is still quite capable.
Not only did he keep the country of Ceylon in good order, but he even marched north, and all the area south of Guri was taken by him.
"How is he?"
Under the warm welcome, Zhu Gaoyu lived in the arranged palace.
After chatting with Jiang Yue for a few words, he asked the other party to go back first on the grounds that he was tired and wanted to rest.
Not long after Jiang Yue walked on his front foot, Liu Gang, who was in charge of the remaining Daming Qianhu, came to pay a visit.
Zhu Gaoyu was not polite to his subordinates, and asked the questions he was most concerned about as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ceylon is far away from the Ming Dynasty, and at the current speed of a sailing ship, it will take more than a year to make a round trip.
If Jiang Yue was a mediocre person, Zhu Gaoyu might not have any ideas, but this person was too good.
For the boss, the better the subordinates, the better, but there is a premise here, that is, the subordinates are controlled by the boss.
Jiang Yue belongs to a semi-independent state, the kind that can be separated at any time.
As for who the other party swore to chase, just listen to it.
Back then, the old man of his family promised Jianwen that he would never rebel, but now he is not still the emperor, and he has not seen God send down the thunder to chop his old man to death.
Liu Gang didn't expect that as soon as he met His Royal Highness, he directly asked Jiang Yue's behavior, and was silent for a while before replying: "He is a very ambitious person, a very big kind. β
"Ambitious, isn't that great."
The teacup in Zhu Gaoyu's hand paused, chuckled, and threw it aside.
Liu Gang silently lowered his head.
He knew what he said, what would happen.
Although Jiang Yue had a good relationship with him, he and his brothers were treated with the highest standard when they were in Ceylon.
But he is a Daming man, and his wife and children are waiting for him to go back in Daming.
And His Royal Highness is not kind to him, just now General Wang Jin gave him a letter from home.
His two children entered the school, and His Royal Highness paid for them to become talents, and the family divided more than a dozen acres of land, and his younger brother was also arranged to be a small steward in the Chamber of Commerce.
His parents and wife explained to him in the letter that he must do a good job for His Highness and not let His Highness down.
So no matter what aspect he is, he has no reason to stand on Jiang Yue's side.
In the evening, Zhu Gaoyu refused Jiang Yue's request to hold a welcome banquet on the grounds that he was not feeling well, and did not even live in the temporary accommodation arranged by Jiang Yue, and returned directly to the fleet.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Jiang Yue's face slowly became gloomy.
He used to be just an ordinary little immigrant, but he was lucky enough to help Daming twice, Zhu Gaoyu took a fancy to him and gave him a chance, he was grateful at the time, and he couldn't wait to give his heart away.
However, as time went on, he relied on his own efforts to win more territory, and his gratitude to Daming to Zhu Gaoyu became weaker and weaker.
From the beginning of the gratitude, it slowly became a matter of course, and even to the present, I feel that everything I have is given to him by God, he has earned it through hard work, and it has nothing to do with Daming.
Originally, tonight he wanted to use the banquet to clarify the relationship with Daming, and even said that it had nothing to do with Zhu Gaoyu.
He wanted to tell Zhu Gaoyu that the relationship between the two was not a master-servant relationship at all, but a relationship between a vassal country, and his status was on an equal footing with Zhu Gaoyu, the king of Yue.
But Zhu Gaoyu didn't give him a chance at all, and directly rejected his invitation to the banquet, which made him extremely angry in his heart.
However, Jiang Yue forgot one thing.
In the past, Ceylon was able to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, which was recognized by the Ming Emperor.
As for him, he has not yet been canonized, but was temporarily appointed by Zhu Gaoyu.
Officially, his real identity is still an immigrant.
When Zhu Gaoyu came, he had already asked for the canonization book from the old man, but now it seems that he can't use it.
The next day, the planned trade did not start, and Zhu Gaoyu also asked the merchant ships that followed him to retreat, and sent an invitation for Jiang Yue to come to the ship to discuss matters.
Looking at the guards who came to pass the word, Jiang Yue secretly clenched his fists, and the coldness in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
He understood that His Highness was going to have a showdown with him.
Giving up all this in front of him, Jiang Yue was reluctant, he felt that he had earned everything by his own efforts, why did Da Ming stand on his head and point fingers.
Waiting for Zhu Gaoyu's guards to leave, Jiang Yue stood up silently, looking at the direction of the fleet and muttering to himself.
"The prince will be Xiangning, your grandfather can be an emperor as a beggar, why can't I!"
"My life is up to me, I don't want to die, whoever dares to block my path, I will fight to the death, and no one can come!"
ps: Today I plan to make up for the two sheets I owe two days ago, that is, 4 chapters and 20,000 words, now update the two chapters first, and make up the other two chapters before 12 o'clock in the evening.
