Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 732, enlighten them

Daming's vassal state was not random, and not everyone could accept it.

The Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire and the Ming people do not have any common values ​​at all.

Among other things, the fact that these two countries use human sacrifices on a large scale every year, in the eyes of Ming people, they are very barbaric and cruel.

Only barbarians would use human sacrifices.

"Your Majesty, I think that these two countries can be treated as pending vassal states. My Ming Dynasty can send a large number of saints to educate them. When they understand etiquette, justice, shame and respect for Confucius and Mencius, I will treat them as vassal states again. Come and treat."

Soon, another minister stood up and expressed his opinion.

They are too far apart, and the strength of these two countries is very weak. In the eyes of these ministers in the DPRK and China, their gold and silver are the most important. As for the others, they are actually irrelevant.

However, the promotion of Confucianism and Confucianism has now become an important sentiment of the literati in the Ming Dynasty. They not only want to build more schools in the Ming Dynasty, so that more people can read and write, and can understand etiquette, justice, and shame. It also advocates the promotion of Confucianism and the way of Confucius and Mencius to the outside world.

"Your Majesty, I think that these two countries can be used as a place of experimentation, and the way of Confucius and Mencius can be promoted in these two countries, so as to lay the foundation and experience for the popularization of Confucianism all over the world in the Ming Dynasty."

A minister stood up and said that there is nothing to say about this kind of matter, and we must support it.

Overseas barbarians are ignorant of education, ignorance of propriety, righteousness, honesty and shame. Then they, scholars, have the responsibility and obligation to educate them and spread Confucianism and the way of Confucius and Mencius to them.

"Hmm~"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly. It is necessary to promote Confucian culture and the way of Confucius and Mencius. In Liu Jin's words, only those who share common culture and values ​​can truly come together.

The Ming Dynasty wanted to rule a wider and wider territory, and more and more regions and ethnic groups. If they wanted long-term peace and stability, and wanted to occupy these places forever, then they had to vigorously promote the Chinese civilization.

Now, the core thought of Chinese civilization is Confucianism.

"Your Majesty, the Golden Continent is vast and sparsely populated. Only the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire have relatively large populations. My Ming wants to occupy and develop the Golden Continent, so I must make good use of it. a little."

At this time, Li Dongyang stood up.

"Well, Li Aiqing, continue talking~"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded for him to continue.

"Judging from the news from the Golden Continent, it is not only our Ming Dynasty that is carrying out colonization activities on the Golden Continent, but the Europeans are also carrying out colonization activities on the east coast of the Golden Continent."

"Golden Continent is sparsely populated, fertile land, and has countless gold and silver. This is a place that I, Ming, must never let go of. Moreover, our Ming Dynasty must monopolize the Golden Continent, and must not allow Europeans to get involved in the Golden Continent."

"The Golden Continent strategy formulated by Liu Jin is very correct."

"Golden Continent is far away from our Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy to come and go. I, Da Ming, want to keep the Golden Continent and develop the Golden Continent, in addition to vigorously encouraging immigrants."

"The more important thing is to make good use of these descendants of wealthy merchants in the Golden Continent."

"These people are very similar in appearance to our Daming people and share a common ancestor. From this point of view, we Daming people and these descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties are of the same species."

"It's just that our Ming Dynasty is very tyrannical now, and they lack education and have not gone through the way of Confucius and Mencius, so they are ignorant and very barbaric."

"My Ming Dynasty only needs to send a large number of sage disciples to the Golden Continent to promote the way of Confucius and Mencius and educate them, then the Ming Dynasty will become like us Ming people."

"At that time, the populations of these two countries will be very large. As long as we make good use of them, our Ming Dynasty will be able to monopolize the Golden Continent, completely drive the Europeans out of the Golden Continent, and make up for our Ming's lack of population and power in the Golden Continent. .”

"Since they believe in the sun god and worship dragons, we Daming just happen to be fire virtues, and we are descendants of dragons. From this point of view, all of this is arranged by heaven."

"My Ming Dynasty should follow the will of heaven, accept them, educate them, and let them return to our Ming Dynasty."

Li Dongyang obviously had a detailed understanding of everything that happened here in the Golden Isle, and he was very familiar with it all. At the same time, he was also keenly aware of possible conflicts that might occur on the Golden Isle in the future.

The Europeans came to the east coast of the Golden Continent. Like the Ming people, they had powerful artillery, muskets, and advanced navigation technology. They also came to the Golden Continent for the huge wealth here.

When Ming's power slowly expanded from the west coast of the Golden Continent to the East China Sea, conflicts and conflicts with these Europeans were bound to arise.

So what he means is very simple, that is to conquer these two countries first, and after conflicts with Europeans in the future, people from these two countries can also be used to deal with these Europeans.

It is also possible to use people from these two countries to develop the Golden Continent and complete the Ming Dynasty's strategy of occupying the Golden Continent.

"Your Majesty, I think what Li Gong said is true~"

"From the current situation, the Europeans arrived at the Golden Continent one step ahead of us. They have established a complete colonial rule on several islands on the east coast of the Golden Continent."

"I, Ming Dynasty, should take advantage of their weak power and declare to the outside world that the ownership of the entire Golden Continent belongs to our Ming Dynasty, and take advantage of the trend to drive all these Europeans out of the Golden Continent."

"The Europeans are ambitious. Like us, they are constantly opening up new routes and colonies all over the world in search of wealth. They also have powerful artillery and guns. In the future, they will surely become our Ming Dynasty's strongest enemy at sea. "

Xie Qian also stood up, and his position changed again.

In the past, they were opposed to Ming’s sea expansion and colonization, but now they strongly support sea expansion and colonies, because with the opening of Nanjing and Songhu, the big merchants, big families, and big gentry in the south are also eager to go to sea to find wealth .

"My Ming Dynasty not only wants to make preparations as soon as possible on the Golden Continent, and drive these Europeans out as soon as possible. We also want to make preparations on the Indian Ocean and Africa."

"According to the news from the Golden Continent, we know from the Spaniards that a few years ago, Portugal in Europe had already entered the Indian Ocean, and they also established a colony on the Tianzhu side."

"They sow discord everywhere, block the Gulf, and monopolize trade. This poses a huge challenge and threat to our Ming Dynasty's strategy in the West."

"I believe that our Ming Dynasty should prepare in advance to expand our navy. At the same time, we should also vigorously encourage the expansion and operations of private commercial firms in various parts of the world, so as to enrich our Ming Dynasty's overseas strength."

Originally, it was about the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire, but then they talked about Daming's overseas strategy. Xie Qian is obviously a representative who supports private commercial firms.

With [-] people, Tian Erniu conquered the two huge empires of the Golden Continent. If the firm had armed forces, it could also conquer countries and regions overseas and obtain huge benefits.

Now Hu Xian and Zhang Yuan are organizing and planning such an action. They have gathered troops and forces on the Nanyang side and are preparing for it. Their first goal is Ceylon, the big island in the south of Tianzhu.

"What are you talking about at this time~"

When Hubu Shangshu Zhong Zhong heard it, he shook his head helplessly.

Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to receive all the gold and silver from the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire into the treasury. Now that you mention it like this, what should I say later?
If the follow-up income of these two countries goes to the national treasury, then if the commercial firms under your command also lay down pieces of land and countries overseas, will the income from these places also go to the national treasury?
On this point, I am afraid that all the ministers will not agree. Everyone more or less has some shares in the commercial firm, and everyone is waiting to go overseas to eat meat.

"Forget it, it's probably impossible to pry this piece of fat out of His Majesty's mouth."

He sighed helplessly in his heart.

The Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire, these are definitely the two fattest pieces of meat.

Using gold and silver to pile up pyramids, these two countries can casually acquire tens of millions of taels of silver in one year. The reserves of gold and silver here are really too rich.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think what Li Gong and Xie Gong said is true~"

Speaking of this matter, the ministers also expressed their opinions one after another. Everyone wants to eat meat, and the major commercial firms have also united to form the Western Commercial Bank. The people and horses have already arrived in Nanyang and are preparing to start the first transaction. Woolen cloth.

At this time, everyone's opinions are surprisingly unanimous, that is, we must support overseas expansion and operations.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the two countries have arrived~"

This is, Xiao Jing came to Emperor Hongzhi's side to remind him.

"Announce them in."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, and looked at the officials below. In fact, Emperor Hongzhi was very clear about their plans, but as long as they were overseas, it didn't matter, and it was indeed something that was beneficial to Daming, so he supported it.

"Declaration to the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire envoys~"

Xiao Jing shouted at the top of his voice, and the officials immediately became quiet.

Soon, Silone and Ahaya also walked in slowly, holding the treasures dedicated to Da Tianzi.

"Chen Xiluonei, Ahaya pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming~"

The two bowed respectfully in Daming dialect that they were not very proficient in. At this moment, they were a little excited, and finally saw the Emperor Daming. At this moment, it was as if they had met the god in their hearts.

　The writing is a bit messy~
