Chapter 719: Disobedience to the Ming Dynasty

The prosperity of the Daming newspaper is like a hundred flowers in spring, and all kinds of information converge like flowing water, presenting a vibrant scene.

With the increasing convenience of transportation, not only people-to-people exchanges have become more frequent, but also the communication between elite groups in various places has become more developed and smooth. They are like spiders in a spider's web, using the spider web of communication lines to constantly weave new connections and grasp the pulse of Daming's business.

The first merchants to do business in Goryeo have grown up over the years, and some of them have actively participated in the economic exchanges of the Ming Dynasty with their keen market insight. They are adept at bringing advanced technology and goods from Daming, then digesting and innovating them locally, and then promoting them to a wider market in a unique way.

Their approach not only enriched the variety of commodities in the Ming Dynasty, but also promoted the trade cycle between the local and overseas markets.

Subsequently, under the high-intensity suppression of the Daming Industry Bureau, the businessmen who went to the Ming Dynasty went out of the local market of Daming and reopened up a new world with their indomitable spirit.

Good at learning and imitating, but also brave in innovation, constantly introducing new goods and services. Their arrival has injected new vitality into the big market of the entire trading system, and also brought more competition and challenges.

The merchants of Nanyang, with their abundant resources and unique geographical advantages, play an increasingly important role in the economic stage of the external circulation of the Ming Dynasty. They brought with them a large number of rare goods, such as spices, jewelry, etc., and also brought the goods of the Ming Dynasty to Nanyang, which promoted trade between the two sides.

The promotion of these business models has undoubtedly played a positive role in promoting the development of Daming's economy.

Although the businessmen in the seven western provinces are limited by the management mode and geographical environment of the mainland, they are also actively learning and striving to find new business opportunities. They have developed a unique business model by taking advantage of the unique large-scale well system of the seven western provinces, which has contributed to the economic development of the western region.

Although areas such as Bari Hei were barren and not very profitable, the merchants did not give up. They firmly believe that as long as there is business, there are business opportunities. Through stable trade routes, they ensured trade between the seven western provinces and other regions.

At the same time, the Delhi Sultanate was a populous state, and its nobles controlled everything on the land, including the right to life and property of the common people. This long period of rule made the aristocracy a luxurious life, and they became the favorite trading objects of the merchants. They imported various luxury goods from the Ming Dynasty to meet the needs of the nobles, and at the same time brought huge profits to the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the Delhi Sultanate, the Nunna Puer Kingdom, the Punggara Kingdom and other places are also places where the Ming merchants really gain the bulk of their profits. These places are rich in resources and have vast markets, which provide countless business opportunities for Ming merchants. They set up branches here to carry out various trade activities, injecting new impetus into the economic development of the Ming Dynasty.

In the prosperous land of Daming, the promotion of various business models and the efforts of businessmen together constitute a prosperous business picture. They used their wisdom and courage to write a new chapter for the economic development of the Ming Dynasty. Thanks to their efforts, the commercial exchanges of the Ming Dynasty became more and more frequent, and the economic prosperity reached a higher level.

The war of the Ming army broke the current situation, and the northwest region of the Delhi Sultanate, which was controlled by the Ming Dynasty, plus Dili and other areas, the merchants led by the two brothers Zheng Gang and Zheng Ang successively found Zhu Neng and other responsible persons.

They asked if they could buy estates and grow cash crops, and wanted to replicate the business model of Goryeo in the northwestern region of the Delhi Sultanate.

Goryeo is now very wealthy, is already a commercially developed area, has become the energy supply base of the northern Ming Dynasty, there is a successful reference, Zhu Neng did not object, officials in order to make achievements as soon as possible, but also support the investment of businessmen.

So one by one the estates were established, and large tracts of cotton, jute, sugarcane, and cotton were planted all over the fertile land, and a good harvest was obtained the following year.

Then cotton mills, spinning mills, spinning mills, weaving mills, rope weaving mills, sack mills, weaving mills, sugar mills. Factories were built on the outskirts of Multan.

The will of the imperial court has arrived.

In addition to strengthening the governance of the Bali Black region, and then establishing Kabul Province, Peshawar Province, Ghazni Province, Lahore Province, and Multan Province, in two years, Daming has added five more provinces, known as the Tianzhu North Region.

In addition to the governors of the seven western provinces, the governors of Tianzhu North were added.

Of the seven governors of the seven western provinces, only the Governors of Yulong Chijie and Mashhad were retained, and the rest were changed to admirals, such as the Governor of Samarkand, the chief military officer, that is, the first rank of the general army.

In addition, there are seven provincial governors.

The five northern provinces of Tianzhu set up a governor, which should have been served by civil officials, considering special circumstances, Zhu Neng was temporarily appointed, Zhu Gaosui served as the right governor, and the governor's palace was established in the former governor's office of Lahore Province, and Ren Li served as the governor of Multan.

Due to geographical conditions and other reasons, Multan has become the fastest growing area in the five northern provinces of Tianzhu, and as for the province of Lahore, where the former Governor of the Northwest Delhi Sultanate is located, there are actually changes.

The original Governor's Mansion became the Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Neng is accustomed to the exotic architectural style, sitting behind the desk, and the ground is covered with exquisite carpets.

The rest of the civil and military officials, including Zhu Gaosui, Ren Li and others, are also there, although Zhu Gaosui is the right governor, and Zhu Neng's rank is nominally higher, but Zhu Neng does not dare to hold it up, and insists that Zhu Gaosui sit on the top.

Zhu Gaosui couldn't prevaricate, so he could only sit at the top, but he was very conscious, there was no sign of dominating the venue, Zhu Neng didn't speak, and he would never speak, unless Zhu Neng asked.

Zhu Neng was no longer polite, and took out a letter from His Majesty the Emperor.

Some of His Majesty's handwritten letters will be kept, and some will be burned, and this time, His Majesty's handwritten letters, after Zhu Neng and the prince discussed, will be burned after the meeting, and will not be kept for future generations.

Those who are qualified to participate in this meeting are all high-level officials, even Ren Li has personally seen the emperor several times, and he is no stranger to the emperor's character.

After reading the emperor's letter, everyone understood the emperor's thoughts.

It is nothing more than the theory of population and land, and the emperor has no idea of hiding it.

According to the emperor, the population of the Ming Dynasty should be as much land as there should be in the world, which is the long-term way to maintain the prosperity of the nation.

"It seems that Ren Dudu's thoughts are deeply in line with the emperor's wishes." An official laughed.

Ren Li smiled politely.

At the beginning, he made his own decisions and assumed a lot of responsibility, and many people watched coldly, but now with the emperor's handwritten letter, it can be regarded as affirming his original behavior, otherwise there will be endless trouble.

"Continue to increase support for Mahamu and other forces, and export their weapons and materials through trade."

Zhu Neng decisively ordered.

Later last year, Ren Li had secretly supplied supplies and weapons to the Dili people in Multan, just as the Delhi Sultanate had done to the rebels in the seven western provinces in the beginning.

Zhu Neng considered the situation and approved Ren Li's idea, did not publicly support it, but did not stop it, and now with the emperor's request, Zhu Neng naturally has no scruples.

There are some things that you can try to do, but you must never do. Although Zhu Neng does not interfere in political affairs, he has a very clear understanding of the red line of what to do and what not to do.

The imperial court gave a special exception, with Xungui as the governor, which set a precedent, and many people wrote letters to congratulate Zhu Neng, but Zhu Neng couldn't sleep at night, often thinking about whether he had done anything wrong.

With the conclusion of the high-level meeting in Lahore, Ren Li stepped up his efforts after returning to Multan.

Under the call of Ren Li, the Dili people Mahamu and Erdeni, and the people from the Zengara region, came to the city of Multan together and agreed to fight against the Delhi Sultanate.

India is the birthplace of Buddhism.

The Zenhala region, or Sinhalese country, is known from its name as the influence of Buddhism is very strong, and this is the country of Sri Lanka in later generations.

The Lord of the Buddha was defeated and completely shrunk his sphere of influence, so after learning that the Ming army had taught the Delhi Sultanate a lesson, many monks and soldiers came to the Zengala area on the southern island.

The subcontinent has been under foreign conquest for thousands of years, and the twelfth and thirteenth centuries were the most ferocious, so in the fourteenth century, with the oppression of the feudal slave society in India.

In the ancient subcontinent, Brahmanism was in a monopoly position for a long time, and around the eighth century AD, Shangkara absorbed some elements of Buddhism, Jainism and other folk religions, reformed and innovated Brahmanism, and gradually formed a new sect - Hinduism.

By the beginning of the fourteenth century, the basic framework of Hinduism, with Shiva as the central deity, was formed, and Hinduism emerged during the dark period of the Middle Ages, most likely to resist the Green Religion.

In short, although Hinduism in the subcontinent has become stronger, it has not yet established an unshakable position, but because of the existence of the gods, it is full of chaos.

The gods fought, and the people suffered.

The Chinese people have a simple cognition very early, so the Chinese people believe in all gods, but there is only one thing, the gods must know how to work for the welfare of the people, and if you worship you, you have to return something.

This is what is best for the people.

Instead of the common people unconditionally worshipping the gods and giving everything to the gods, the gods have no return.

Either return the wealth, or the luck, or the future, or the marriage, or the children

Since ancient times, ancient China has been the richest and most civilized, because the common people of China are indeed very smart, and the rest of the regions are all in a long period of time when the gods fought and the people suffered.

While supplying weapons to the Dili people, and the Dili people promised them the land they did not occupy, they gave it all to the Ming people with a wave of their hand.

On the other hand, the prince of the Delhi Sultanate came to see Ren Li, and Ren Li warmly received the prince of the Delhi Sultan, reaffirming the friendship between the two sides and the agreement on the suzerainty system of the two countries.

Civil strife is always the best weapon in the hands of foreign enemies.

The civil strife on Dayuan Island has become the core wrist of the eagle to balance the rabbit, the only obstacle to the rise of the Chinese nation, and the biggest stumbling block.

When a nation is divided, it will never be revived because the obstacle of civil strife has not been resolved.

With the help of the opponent's internal strife, the foreign enemy can easily destroy all the achievements of the other party, but he does not need to pay the corresponding price, because the cost is borne by the civil strife.

Zhu Gaochi did this in Goryeo, and the Wa Kingdom also did this, which had a huge effect.

The pattern of the merchants was spread, and the methods of His Majesty the Emperor in his youth were also known, and Ren Li learned the young skills of His Majesty the Emperor, which was also used in the Delhi Sultanate.

This move greatly changed the difficulty of the Ming army's conquest.

Defeating the Northwest Governor of the Delhi Sultanate, the Ming Dynasty spent countless materials and manpower, and went through several hardships and dangers, before achieving the final victory, and paying a huge price.

However, through the civil strife in the Delhi Sultanate, Ren Li now only needs to pay for supplies and sit in the rear, and through the pull of the rebels and the Delhi Sultanate, he can obtain a huge reward that the war cannot get.

The Delhi Sultanate became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, signed an agreement on the vassal system, fulfilled the obligations of the vassal state, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty could trade unhindered in the Delhi Sultanate.

The Delhi Sultanate used Chinese dialect and Chinese characters as its official way to obey the direction demanded by the Ming Dynasty in the external aspect.

Mahamu, a Dili man who established himself as the king, also divided a large area of land in the Dili area to the Ming Dynasty, and also claimed to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but Ren Li did not let go of his mouth in this regard.

For the Dili region, Ren Li thought it was right to become a Xuanwei Division, not a vassal state.

However, these contradictions, compared to the huge profits obtained by the Ming Dynasty and the effortless price, really made Ren Li very happy, and suddenly understood the complicated feelings of the emperor when he personally conquered the seven western provinces.

Sometimes the means of political success are more advanced and more profitable than mere war.

The Ming bureaucratic system, which has become more and more mature, has the ability to take the initiative to learn and change, from the beginning of the fierce war, to the last Hu to control Hu, Hongxi three years, the Delhi Sultanate, the Zengala State, the Dili State, the Nunna Puer State, and the Punggara State have become the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

Hongxi for four years.

Stimulated and influenced by the Zengala Kingdom, the Udaipur Kingdom in the southeast of the subcontinent, the Guli Kingdom in the southwest of the subcontinent, the Kezhi Kingdom, and the Little Gran Kingdom also became vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Ming swallowed the subcontinent, its local rule did not change.

But it can be admitted that the banner and script of the Ming Dynasty began to appear on this land, and the system of the Ming Dynasty began to affect the subcontinent, and the envoys of various kingdoms entered Beijing to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Hongxi, the Dili Kingdom defeated the Delhi Sultanate and occupied a large area of land in the north of the Delhi Sultanate, and the situation was reversed, and Zhu Neng, the governor of Tianzhu North, stopped the Tianzhu War.

"All the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, the Xuanwei Division, etc., must not start wars without authorization, and stop all civil wars along the borders controlled by various places, and any king and Tusi who disobey the will of the previous dynasty will be severely punished."

Zhu Neng's request angered Ma Hamu.

Mahamu called himself the king strongly, in order to support this person, the Ming finally recognized the Dili Kingdom, and now Mahamu is strong and strong, not only completely defeating the Delhi Sultanate, but also encroaching on all the lands of the Delhi Sultanate and establishing a powerful Dili Kingdom.

The Ming army's move, Ma Hamu believes that the Ming army is unwilling to make the Dili Kingdom stronger.

Many generals admonished Mahamu, but Mahamu was no longer the Mahamu of the past, and made an idea that defied the Ming Dynasty and continued to wage war against the Delhi Sultanate.
