Chapter 371 The resistance to the improvement of the status of the Tan people came from the gentry and landlord class.

About the origin of the Tan people, and the people they are composed of.

There have always been many opinions, but one thing is certain.

That's what Lin Che said, these people have lived on ships since they were children and have natural sailor qualities.

"Among the Tan people, there are not only Baiyue, but also Han people who became one of them when the Sui Dynasty and the former Yuan Dynasty were raging.

”

Liu Sanwu told what he knew about the Tan people.

also advised Zhu Yuanzhang: "And the latest batch of people who have joined the Tan people, the minister heard that there are still the remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang. ”

"I think that although this kind of proficient in water, I am afraid it is of little use to my Daming."

Zhu Yuanzhang just thought that he could harvest tens of thousands of excellent sailors without much effort, so as to form a group of super fleets.

However, unexpectedly, the composition of these Tan people was too complicated, and it was impossible to recruit water masters.

Zhu Biao reminded in a low voice: "Father doesn't have to be disappointed, since Mr. Lin can propose to treat Tanmin as a sailor." ”

"There should be a way for them to do their best to serve the Ming Dynasty, and please don't be impatient."

Zhu Yuanzhang was just about to show a disappointed look, but he instantly reined in because of these words.

He nodded slightly, and then gathered 120,000 energy, ready to listen to Lin Che's answer.

……

The other side.

Lin Che simply introduced the origin of Tanmin to Zhu Fan and the others.

He also sighed: "In this day and age, even the sailors of the entire Europa combined, there are not as many people as the Tan people. ”

"They can be said to be the ancestors of China, the treasures left by future generations."

"If they can be subdued and trained to be qualified sailors, the Ming will be able to build the largest fleet in the world without worrying about no one to sail."

It can be said that the Tan people who have lived by the sea for thousands of years.

It has a natural mission.

That is to join the wave of the Great Voyage, and thus completely become a part of China.

"Sir, I have heard that the Tan people are wild and untamable, and that they are very hostile to our people on land."

Zhu Bai had heard some legends about the Tan people, so he didn't quite agree with Lin Che's words.

He also said vigilantly: "Moreover, if all of our Daming Water Divisions are Tan people." ”

"When the time comes, the imperial court will contribute money and efforts, and the warships that have been built with great effort will probably be cheap in the end."

When Zhu Fan heard this, he also nodded approvingly.

After all.

In this era, there is still a saying that the hearts of those who are not of my race will be different.

The Central Plains Dynasty regarded the people living in the corners as untrustworthy barbarians.

"Good guy, you haven't done anything yet, so you'll treat others as traitors first."

Lin Che sighed angrily.

He tapped the table with his index finger and said, "If you want to avoid the dominance of the Tan people in the sailors, just stuff each boat with people you trust according to the proportion." ”

"However, what you should be most concerned about is not how to guard against the Tan people, but how to make the Tan people work for the imperial court."

Lin Che glanced at Brother Zhu Fan, with a bit of sneer in his tone.

These boys have been masters for too long.

There is only the idea that they let other people do something, but there is no concept that others will not refuse.

"Do they dare to disobey the order?"

Sure enough, when Zhu Bai heard this, his temper suddenly rose.

Lin Che was amused by this kid's words.

He snorted: "You all think they are barbarians, what's so strange that people don't accept Wang Hua." ”

Zhu Bai seemed to raise his head.

Immediately followed by a sentence: "If you don't obey the king, you should be killed, kill them..."

As soon as the murderous words began, a hand grabbed his throat.

"If you want to go home as a hero, don't talk about useless things here."

Zhu Fan glared at Zhu Bai coldly.

He thought in his heart that his husband already had a perfect way to recruit the Tan people.

Therefore, I was extremely worried that Zhu Bai's nonsense would reach the ears of the Tan people one day.

When the time comes, don't talk about recruiting the Tan people as sailors.

If people don't kill officials and rebel in advance, they are already mindful.

Zhu Bai was a little dissatisfied with Zhu Zhang's sneak attack, but after meeting his cold gaze, he couldn't help but tremble.

So he hurriedly bowed his head and made a gesture of admitting his mistake.

Only then did Zhu Fan let go and pinched the other party's neck.

As a result, Zhu Bai didn't even look at it, and asked Lin Che directly: "Sir, dare to ask me how the imperial court should make the people of Tan for my use?" ”

Although Lin Che saw the two clashing.

But this is also because Zhu Bai said some inconsequential words first, so he didn't interfere just now.

When he heard Zhu Zhang's question at this moment, he replied without thinking about it: "For the Tan people who keep to themselves, if you want them to work for the imperial court, then improve their status." ”

Because the Tan people and the people of the Ming Dynasty are no longer on the same household register.

So much so that his status in the Ming Dynasty is several levels lower than that of the craftsmen who are being bullied today.

Ordinary people come ashore when they are too well dressed, and they will be robbed by ruffians.

And because of their low status, no one cares even if they report to the official.

Maybe, he will be blackmailed by the officials again.

Therefore, the attitude of the Tan people towards people on land is basically wary and hateful.

If you want them to come to their hearts, the most important thing is to improve their status.

Zhu Fan did not discriminate against the Tan people.

But he frowned and said, "Sir, I'm afraid this matter is more difficult than improving the status of craftsmen and merchants." ”

After all, the latter is still on the same household registration in the final analysis.

The resistance to the general improvement of its status came mainly from the gentry and landlord class.

And the Tan people are now the coastal people, and they are recognized as inferior.

If they were to be brought to the same level as Shinong, I am afraid that no one who knew about it would agree.

"If it's hard to do, don't you just do it?"

Lin Che glanced at Zhu Fan strangely, and said seriously: "Since you want the Tan people to join the Daming Water Division and shed their blood for the future development of overseas colonization, then you must give them the same status." ”

"Otherwise, they will always be inferior, and they will inevitably be bullied by other soldiers on board."

"If it comes to the critical moment of the decisive battle with Europa, and they suddenly fight back, wouldn't the imperial court lose even more?"

You must know that the hierarchical concept of the army in the feudal era was already deep-rooted enough.

If you join another group, you will be at the bottom of the Tan people.

Then they will definitely become the worst bullied existence on the whole boat.

Lin Che can imagine how much turmoil the conservative bully will cause if he takes revenge.

Zhu Fanwen's expression was awe-inspiring.

He nodded and said, "What Sir said is that even if it is strictly forbidden to bully the Tan people. ”

"I'm afraid there will also be officers, seeing their lowly status, who will manipulate their salaries."
