In the spring of the fourteenth year of Yongle, Xie Jin returned to the capital. He consulted with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Imperial Court about the situation in the surrounding areas such as Champa and Siam, and decided to set out for Champa again. During this trip, he brought with him a number of overseas officials, such as Jiang Binzhi and Huang Fu, as well as civil and military officials such as Yang Shiqi in the cabinet, to discuss a new system of the clan system.

Some scholars in the capital call the Ming Dynasty a country built on the railway, which is a joke, but it also hits the nail on the head. The core of Daming's development is indeed the construction of railways. With the continuous increase of the mileage of the inner subway, the series of cities is becoming wider and wider, and the exchange of materials has become more convenient, which has also changed people's lifestyles and promoted the change of the management mode of Daming.

The transmission of official documents basically relied on the railway system, and most of the traditional post station functions in the interior were eliminated, and only in the border areas still retained the original inefficient post station system.

In the Nanyang region, merchant ships used Champa as a starting point to trade with other countries.

Many regions, including Tereng, Longya Kamiao, Jeddah, Kelantan, Pahang, Manchurian, Longya Bodhi Island, Liukun, Nam Wuli, Liva, Na Orphan, Sumatra, Panchuer, Aru, Mirang Gebu, Shunta, Garu, Java, and Giri Dislang, began to be included in the map of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di met with the leaders of various forces or the envoys of the rulers. This time is different from the famous Western Ocean in history, due to the limitation of geographical distance, the influence of the Ming Dynasty is not as far-reaching as before. However, due to a deeper understanding of this unfamiliar region, the Ming Dynasty did not easily make it a new country, but considered adopting methods such as setting up the Xuanfu Department and the Xuanfu Department to manage it. Only those kingdoms that have been in existence for a considerable period of time will be given the title of kingdom.

According to the deliberations of the imperial court, the system of suzerains and vassals will be divided into five levels: the capital division, the Xuanfu division, the Xuanfu division, the pro-vassal state and the foreign vassal state. Forces and regions other than these five levels will not be recognized by the Ming Dynasty. Xie Jin explained to Zhu Di in detail.

After hearing Xie Jin's explanation, Zhu Di stroked his beard and smiled. He remembered the domineering spirit of the Great Han, could it be that the spirit of the Ming Dynasty was not as good as that era?

Seeing that the emperor did not raise any questions, Xie Jin continued: "The new system of feudal domains will be implemented in the southeastern region of our country first. If it works, we'll gradually roll it out to the whole world. At present, the metropolitan divisions are divided into Champang, Sukhothai, Pattaya, Hamgyong, Nuergandu, Pingan and Chikushi. ”

"The Propaganda and Comfort Divisions are distributed in various places, including the Sulu Propaganda Division, Chiang Rai Propaganda Division, Chiang Mai Propaganda Division, Mae Phong Litigation Propaganda Division, Cha Am Propaganda Division, Hua Hin Propaganda Division, Laos Propaganda Division, Myanmar Propaganda Division, 800 Myanmar Propaganda Division, and Mubang Propaganda Division."

"The vassal states included the Goryeo Kingdom, the Gonu Kingdom, the Northern Ryukyu Kingdom, the Ryukyu Kingdom, the Southern Ryukyu Kingdom, and the Siam Kingdom."

"As for the foreign vassal states, there are Sumatra, Sintuo, Java, Pahang, Luzon, Wa and Chenla."

The Dog Slave Country and the Wa Kingdom are not contemptuous names, but the ancient country of RB itself is such a country name.

With the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Ouchi clan split with the shogunate, and the Ming Dynasty was named the ancient old name of the dog slave country and became a vassal state, while the Wa State was still a foreign vassal state.

Of these regions, the Ming Dynasty brought some areas under the administration of the Xuanfu Division or Xuanfu Division, and granted the seal of the chief or ruler of the Xuanfu or Xuanfu Envoy rather than the king's seal.

Especially in the peninsula area, most of the land was under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty's Xuanfu Division and the Xuanfu Division.

Even though they did not have much contact with some strange and distant regions, such as the Na family and the Manipurs, they had already accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and became vassals of the Ming Dynasty. With these initiatives, many transactions have become more convenient.

Xie Jin received Zhu Di's support and began to replace new canonization documents between the Xuanfu and Xuanfu Divisions in Nanyang, as well as between the internal and external vassal states. At the same time, he also put forward some new requirements and regulations.

In some areas, Xie Jin personally conveyed it, and in other areas, it was other officials who went to proclaim it.

The Lao Xuanwei Division's sword line, this Xuanwu Emperor's canonized Xuanwu envoy has died, and the current successor is his son Daolana, and his uncle Daotuli assisted him in his rule.

The Tusi system of the Lao Xuanwei Division still existed, and after the death of the Dao Shun Gang, his son Dao Rang Na succeeded him, and his uncle Dao Turi assisted him in his rule.

This Tusi system is a special administrative system implemented by China in the border ethnic areas, as is the case in many parts of Southeast Asia, but with the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national power, and even the demise of the dynasty and the arrival of the colonizers, China's power has been on the road to decline.

"From today on, the writing of the Ming Dynasty in various places, with Chinese characters and language as the official language, all official documents must use Chinese characters, use the Ming Dynasty's unit of measurement and calculation, build and maintain post roads, and there will be officials to inspect every year, if they can't pass, they will be punished."

"On the cities everywhere, hang the banner of the Ming Dynasty."

"The law of the Ming Dynasty is implemented everywhere."

All kinds of measures, aimed at strengthening the central government's control and management of the border areas, and by hanging the Ming banner on the city, in order to demonstrate the authority and dominance of the Ming court, and the implementation of the Ming law, in order to maintain social order and justice, is one of the important measures of the clan system to strengthen the foreign jurisdiction of the imperial court.

As one of the most deferential Propaganda Divisions, the Lao Propaganda Division has always been very obedient to Daming.

Including in history, when Zhu Di recovered Jiaozhi, the Lao Propaganda Department also made efforts to deliver the news, and even more so now, he personally sent troops to support.

Coupled with the construction of the railway, the influence of the Ming Dynasty was great in the local area, and there were many Ming merchants, and many Ming people settled down in the local area and lived a life of slaves.

Laos were also the first to go to the capital to enroll, and Laos did not have much opinion on the new decree, because the upper class of Laos had long begun to use Chinese characters and Chinese, and over the years, all the new children could speak Chinese fluently.

"The powerful Polondo Raja has lasted less than half a year in the hands of the Ming army, and I estimate that the Ming Dynasty will soon start the railway construction plan in the whole Nanyang, and at that time, the strength of the Ming Dynasty will become stronger and stronger."

Dao Tuli is already very old, he went to Jiaozhi in Annan in his early years, and saw Zhu Di, who was still the prince at that time, and since then, he has seen the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Over the years, the obedience of the Lao Propaganda Department to the Ming Dynasty is inseparable from the credit of this person.

Similarly, Da Ming repaid his family.

Their family's rule in the local area has not been affected, and those disobedient tribes cannot attack their family, because the Ming Dynasty supports their family, and many of their family's children go to the capital to study, and some even serve as officials in the capital.

"The requirements of the imperial court are becoming more and more detailed, and the management of Nanyang is becoming more and more strict, and my nephew thinks that in a few years, many traditions will change, and I am afraid that it will be like Yunnan side, and eventually change the land and return to the stream."

Knife Roll looked at his uncle worriedly.

Dao Tuli sighed.

"There is a saying in the last dynasty that the general trend cannot be violated, and those who go along will prosper and those who rebel will die. Today's Da Ming is the general trend, those forces who are not convinced, their fate is very bleak, one by one challengers, you have also seen, Da Ming did not use much strength, and easily eliminated them. ”

"So our choice is to be obedient to the Ming Dynasty, under the great change, to seek the most beneficial benefits of our family, through the Lao Xuanwei Division, let our family join the court, and seek a certain position in the court."

Dao Lana nodded, Uncle has always been like this, over the years, under the influence of his uncle, Dao Lana has no intention of resisting Daming, how to join Da Ming and get more benefits has become their family's idea.

"The Ming Dynasty wants to comprehensively govern the South Seas, it is necessary to contribute to three generations, the road ahead is very long, we are based on the Lao Propaganda Division, and continue to develop to the imperial court, no matter how the future changes, we have a place."

Dao Tu said something and began to gasp, and Dao Lang showed a worried look.

Dao Tuli waved his hand, not letting his nephew support him, he wanted to pave the way for the future of the family while he was alive.

No matter how talented a person is, if he chooses the wrong one, then all his previous efforts will be in vain, just like that Purontaraja.

He's smart and knows how to take advantage of the situation and hide his strength, but what? Such a wise person was not wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, which led to the annihilation of his family and power.

The stricter the Ming Dynasty's management of Nanyang in the future, the more people will rebel, and the knife figure does not want the people of his family to show his head, so he tries his best to ask his children to obey the rules of the Ming Dynasty.

One of them, the requirement for the construction of roads by the proclamation envoys and the consolation envoys, was a difficult request in the eyes of the people.

There are many tribes in Nanyang, and there are still many tribal forces in later generations. So in the current era, because of the relationship between the productive forces, not only is it barren, but there are no roads on the ground, only the small roads that people walk out.

Roads are very important, not only for the trade of goods, but also for the management of the imperial court and local governments.

Therefore, in the early Ming Dynasty in history, the most important requirement of the Hongwu Dynasty for the Wusizang and other capitals in the west and the Nuergan in the northeast was to build post roads for local officials to allow the imperial court decrees to be transmitted.

Because of the problem of national strength, the order to build post roads has been implemented in some areas of Yunnan, but there are many more areas that have not been implemented, including the Eight Hundred Great Burma, Cheli Xuanwei Division, etc.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty only required these Xuanfu Divisions to remain obedient and maintain the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

Now the construction of roads has become the assessment of the local officials of the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to adding new tasks to them, and they are no longer as stocked as before, which has brought pressure to the local officials.

The hereditary local officials have long been accustomed to being powerful in the tribe, the wealth of the entire tribe is theirs, the population is their slaves, the beautiful women serve them, and finally reward the tribal warriors they promote, forming a primitive and rough tribal system.

They enjoy the right, but there is no obligation to develop the productive forces, when the tribe can not sustain, only to take the young and strong to attack and plunder other tribes, through such means, to solve the internal contradictions in the tribe, so as to maintain their rule.

The Lao Propaganda Department was the first to change the book, recognizing the rights given to them by the Ming Dynasty and the obligations they had to pay.

In the process of building roads, the Ming Dynasty would give them a certain amount of food compensation, and the Lao ambassadors needed to organize the local tribes to build one road after another from the deep mountains and old forests.

As for whether the knife can mobilize the surrounding tribes, that is the problem of the knife itself.

In order for the Ming Dynasty to develop Nanyang, promote the economic development of Nanyang, form a stable pattern, and restore China's sphere of influence, every Xuanfu envoy and Xuanfu envoy needs to make contributions.

The position and income of the Ming Dynasty are no longer easy to obtain.

If the difficulty of building a road in Laos is six points, then the difficulty of the Cheli Propaganda Division, the Eight Hundred Burma Propaganda Division, and even the Mubang Propaganda Division is doubled.

The forces in these regions in later generations are very complex, even in the information age of later generations, it is full of chaos and war, not to mention the current era, the various tribes have become dog-brained.

Today the tribe is gone, tomorrow the tribe is divided.

Xie Jin personally visited the vassal states.

Soon after, the king of Siam prepared to travel to Champa to meet the emperor of the suzerain.

Siam had its own vassal state before, and the Sukhothai vassal state was more radical in its approach, but was not uncomfortable with the new requirements of the suzerain, and was already prepared.

Several shopkeepers and proprietors of the Daming Commercial House met the king in the palace, and among them there was a scarred face, who looked particularly fierce, but spoke very gently, making people feel overwhelmed.

"The widow decided to restore the kingdom's army, and the number of soldiers reached 30,000, but there was a lack of food and a lack of pay."

Indra I was helpless.

The expenditure of the Ming army in Siam needs to be compensated by the Kingdom of Siam, and the huge amount of military spending has emptied the entire royal family, and the Siamese royal family will need to repay its debts for the next twenty years.

Because the kingdom's army was wiped out by the rebels, and even joined the rebels, the current king of Siam, in the same situation as the original king of Goryeo, Li Fangguo, has no army in his hands under internal and external troubles.

It also occupies the capital, but the capital is in ruins, and there is no object to loot.

Moreover, the place was unstable, and the capital still needed the garrison of the Ming army, which was a large expense, based on this, Indra I could only choose to win over the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to obtain financial support in their hands.

"The king's sorrows need not be sad, we will be generous to help the king tide over the difficulties." Scarface spoke Chinese and wore a long robe, if it weren't for the difference in complexion, it would be exactly the same as the Ming people.

Indra I didn't care so much, and was very happy to hear the merchants' answers.

The merchants helped Indrajasa I to spend on the military, and Indra I gave the merchants privileges, not only to obtain the land of Siam, but also to use slaves, Siam itself was a slave system, and the land reform that began after thirty years of history gave some slaves to become commoners, and promoted Siam into the kingdom civilization.

A large number of displaced people were absorbed by the trading houses and became slaves of the trading houses.

Many of the new estates are growing sugar cane, soybeans and even coffee.

Coffee originated in the highlands of southwestern Ethiopia in Africa, and was monopolized by the Arabs until the 15th century, and was introduced to Hainan in China in 1898.

Nowadays, with the development of the Ming Dynasty in the seven western provinces, coffee has also entered the attention of businessmen, who tried to grow it in many places, but the effect was not great, and finally found that Nanyang was very suitable.

Although the land in the interior of the Ming Dynasty is also suitable for growing coffee, because of the control of the government, the area that merchants can plant is not large.

Now with a large area of Siam, merchants began to grow coffee extensively.

Sugar cane can be used to make sugar, which provides people with high energy, coffee has become a favorite drink, soybeans, etc., as the people of the country become richer, the demand for oil is getting higher and higher, and livestock is increasing.

The businessmen already had mature experience, they communicated with each other in the country, and through the news in the newspapers, they had a broader vision.

Relying on the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the commercial houses saw the future prospects of Siam and dared to invest in Siam, otherwise when the Nanyang Railway was completed, just like the current Goryeo, the latecomers would need to spend ten times the cost to board the train to wealth.

Then in the northern and southern capitals.

Because the north is not very stable, the development of the Daming Industry Bureau is slow, and most of the current energy is invested in the south.

According to the domestic instructions, the Daming Industrial Bureau separated the Nanyang Agricultural Development Industrial Bureau, and Yan Zhongzheng, the person in charge of the Miyun Division, went south to take an overview of the overall situation, organized the deployment of elite soldiers and strong generals, so that Siam could achieve high grain production as soon as possible and become the grain supply base for the Ming Dynasty's large-scale development in Nanyang.

Because of the rebels, many of the ruling forces that joined the rebels in Siam were weakened and eliminated, and a large number of slaves under their control were partly absorbed by the Ming Trading Company and partly by the Nanyang Agricultural Development and Industry Bureau.

The reason why Siam occupied such a treasure land and failed to completely dominate the peninsula was precisely because of the backwardness of civilization and low productivity, and it did not play the role of making this land.

Siam's geographical advantages are more advantageous than Cochin's, and of course, the most fertile land is undoubtedly Bonitus, as well as the Sanfuqi region and Sumatra across the sea to the east of Bonidus.

It's just that these places are too far away at present, and the current Ming Dynasty is really not enough, so we can only envelop it first and develop Siam as soon as possible in order to continue to expand southward.

Indraja I's royal prestige, relying on the support of the Ming Dynasty, in the face of the new clan system of the Ming Dynasty, Indra I happily agreed, as for how many slaves need to be mobilized to build the road, it is not in Indraja I's considerations, he values himself as the throne.

Therefore, as a sign of respect, Indra I left the capital and chose to go to the city himself.

Champa.

Zhu Di personally sent someone to welcome the arrival of Indra I, the two sides had a lot of communication, and when he saw the Ming Emperor, Indra I was very excited and regarded himself as a junior.

Siam officially changed the national letter, the country fully implemented Chinese characters and Chinese, designated as the official language, established Taoist temples and Buddhist halls, allowed the Ming people to establish social studies, and the royal and local governments hung the Ming banner.

The Ming garrison in Siam was 30,000 men, and Siam was responsible for the military expenditure.

Siam built a post road.

The two sides will trade together and abolish tariffs.

In order to reward Indra I, Zhu Di personally promised to keep the Indra ja royal family forever and rest with the Ming Dynasty, and got the answer he wanted the most, and Indra I returned satisfied.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

The expansion of the education system in the Ming Dynasty has absorbed more young people, allowing more talented people to embark on higher academic institutions, and the competition is more fierce than the tradition, and the children of the squires do not have much advantage.

If in the original time, nine out of ten jinshi were the children of the squire, then the ten sons of the country who have entered the Guozijian at the moment may only have five, or even less than five.

The interests of land in the country are getting smaller and smaller, compared with industry, people are beginning to look at commerce, and with the fierce competition for careers, many landlord classes have begun to transform.

They had no advantage at home and went abroad to become the main source of overseas businessmen.

In contrast.

Being able to live an old-fashioned life overseas has attracted many civilians; They are not willing to struggle, they are not willing to work, they just want to live a good life and do not want to pay hard people, there will never be a shortage of people.

With the support of the overseas capital and the Xuanfu Division, the Propaganda and Comfort Division, the domestic people were continuously attracted and the soil was provided for the merchants to take root overseas.

For only 50 yuan, you can buy 100 acres of ripe land in Siam, and the average acre of land is only 5 dimes, and there are a large number of slaves there who can obtain it, and they don't have to do anything, they can farm the land by instructing them.

Sell grain and cash crops to the court or merchants to buy more land and slaves.

The new mode of cooperation has attracted countless civilians in the country.

As long as they are civilians who go to Nanyang, they can get help from the Nanyang Agricultural Development Bureau and get a loan from the Agricultural Development Bank, and they don't even need to pay the capital. And the Daming Trading House also needed the commoners to build a manor house to supplement their lack of productivity.

Of course.

The people who are willing to go to Siam can also cultivate acres of land through their own industrious hands, and how much they can reclaim belongs to him, but the vast majority of those who do not have such a choice choose the former.

As a result, Siam formed a situation of dividing into large and small forces.

This is the Ming people's farm or manor, not far away is the tribal land, intertwined with each other, under the maintenance of the Ming army, the well water on both sides does not interfere with the river water, then it is time for the merchants to play their advantage.

They traded with the tribal leaders with a myriad of fine goods.

Fine jewelry, bright dyes, huge feathered hats, thick tents, flint for making fires, beautiful porcelain, pottery for cooking, white salt, spices, pepper, daggers. And so on, there are always products that people love.

They brought chess, Go, books, picture books for villains, and even books with pictures of plum bottles, and booklets with pictures.

There's always something addictive about it.

With desire comes the motivation to consume, and with the motivation to consume, they begin to pursue profit, and for the sake of profit, the indigenous chiefs sell everything around them, including the population.

The women of the chiefs, dressed in beautiful dresses and painted with exaggerated makeup, embellished with the colors of the tribe, opened the eyes of the leaders, and the desire to move became more and more colorful.

Distance.

Patches of jungle were reclaimed, and the dense rivers and fertile land did not even require the construction of a large number of water ditches to the interior, and advanced equipment and tools were distributed to the slaves.

The owners of the manors and farmers, like the landlords of their hometowns, painstakingly taught the slaves how to use them and made them cherish the tools in their hands.

Many people are burdened with loans, and their biggest hobby throughout the day is nothing else, but to watch their estates be built day by day, and the crops bear abundant fruits.

The climate here is so good, the land is so fertile, and the labor is easier than in the south.

Not only is the yield high, but the quality of the rice grown is also good.

They organized a feast with the surrounding chieftains, and under the light of the campfire, everyone had a smile on their faces, and the indigenous leaders were very happy, as were the lords of the manor.

The young and beautiful women of the tribe, dressed thin and delicate, danced characteristic dances, and exuded the smell of exoticism around their chiefs and foreign guests.

The people who attended the banquet were satisfied, and they lived a life that they had never imagined.

The two sides were very friendly and gave gifts to each other.

The Ming merchant also smiled from ear to ear.

The southern and central regions are developing rapidly, the contradictions in the northern regions are getting bigger and bigger, and the smoke of tribal warfare does not affect them.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, and every corner is very distinctive.

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, and guarantee three changes tomorrow, at least 15,000 words.
