The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 558 The curtain of the new era
"When we were studying, we often saw some emperors who were so happy with their achievements. Their ambitions were broad, but they ignored the present. This is a very dangerous sign."

Zhu Yuanzhang said instructively.

He wants to teach his own wisdom in life to his next generation.

"We are not smarter than anyone else in this life, but we understand one truth. Only by doing well in the present can we plan for the future. Many emperors cannot see the ground because of their pride. They only have the sky in their eyes." Zhu Yuanzhang said of Yang Guang.

"This man was smart, smarter than most, and very proud and conceited."

"But such a smart and proud person has ruined a good country because he only sees the sky and is unwilling to see the road below."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very worried about his grandson in front of him.

This young man was very smart, understood many principles, and made plans and layouts for the nation for generations to come. With himself and his father taking care of him, everything was smooth sailing and he never encountered any setbacks. Zhu Yuanzhang was very worried.

The extremes must be reversed.

After his own death and the death of his fourth son, will the grandson in front of him still remain wise?

"Grandpa Huang, please rest assured."

Zhu Gaochi said confidently, "No matter how lofty the grandson's inner plan is, he must put the current wishes of the people first, tell them the truth, and patiently guide them, instead of ignoring the people's hopes and forcing them to follow his wishes."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly and kept applauding.

"Yes, that's what it is."

"Your enemy is always yourself. Control your greed and arrogance, and always maintain a heart that seeks truth."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

He felt that he had nothing to worry about.

Daming is very good.

The people of Ming Dynasty are also very good.

future.

It'll probably be good too.

Cochin.

Jiaozhou.

The Ming Dynasty restored Jiaozhi.

Under Zhu Di's order, the Lao Xuanwei Department, Cheche Xuanwei Department, Babaidadian Xuanwei Department, Mubang Xuanwei Department, Myanmar Xuanwei Department, Mengyang Xuanwei Department, Lichuan Pingmian Xuanwei Department, and even Xinxin The appointed Xuanweisi of Demasas, the Xuanwei of Dajici, the Xuanwei of Dewu, and the Xuanwei of Dagong were appointed.

The envoys of the Xuanwei Department of the [-]th Xuanwei Department may come in person, such as Daoxianjie from the Xuanwei Department of Laos, or send envoys, such as the Xuanwei Department of Myanmar.

Thousands of envoys, large and small, arrived in Jiaozhou to pay homage to His Highness Zhu Di, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the power of regaining Annan.

This is also the reason why Zhu Di wanted to regain Annan in history and cooperate with the layout of the seven voyages to the West. It is a pity that because of Annan's long-term rebellion, Zhu Di's goal was not achieved. Today is not what it used to be.

"Abide by the etiquette and laws of the Ming Dynasty, establish Taoism, and all disciples must read the teachings of the sages."

Zhu Di reiterated his request.

As for the inheritance, it was already an old practice, and Zhu Di also reminded it again.

There is a conflict between Dao Xiangui and Xuanwei in the car.

The two men blew their beards and glared. When they saw Zhu Di, they all knelt down and no one dared to show their head.

Annan is the dominant country in Southeast Asia.

For hundreds of years, Annan bullied others more than was bullied by others. Now in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, he completely surrendered in less than two years, and no one dared to try the Ming Dynasty's war.

There are also wars between local soldiers from various parts of Yunnan in Annan.

After fighting together, people's hearts became more unified, and everyone saw the combat effectiveness of the new army.

During the Ming Dynasty, the territory of the chieftains in southern Yunnan was not clear. They had competed with the various Xuanwei divisions in the south, and both sides knew the details.

Winning the battle is fundamental.

The Ming Dynasty's victory in Annan was so clean and tidy, which was the greatest confidence.

"We will definitely establish Taoism in our territory, and everyone will study." Daoxiang said respectfully: "It's just that we in the Lao Xuanwei Department have few scholars, so we also ask the imperial court to send scholars."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "The teacher is sent by the Ming Dynasty."

Without waiting for the Xuan comfort envoys to reply, Zhu Di's face darkened, "You are granted the title of Ming Dynasty and appointed as Xuan comfort envoys by me. It is of great benefit to you. You are full of hostile tribes and forces, relying on the banner of my Ming Dynasty. , it can be said that he is doing evil."

"From today onwards, the various consolation envoys are not allowed to engage in war. If there is an internal tribal rebellion, they must report it to the imperial court and obtain the imperial court's consent before they can mobilize troops to quell the rebellion."

Even Laos.

There are more than one swordsmen in the territory.

It's just that Daoxianji has the greatest strength, and he sent an envoy to declare his vassalship to the Ming Dynasty early, so he rewarded him and named him Lao Xuanwei Secretary.

The same principle applies to the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Not to mention the small forces, the Ryukyu Kingdom mainly has three major forces, namely Shanbei, Zhongshan and Shannan.

As early as the fifth year of Hongwu, King Zhongshan was the first to pay tribute and declare himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he was named the King of Ryukyu and received the greatest benefits.

Hongwu six years.

The king of Shanbei and the king of Shannan paid tribute together.

At this time, the Shannan King and the Zhongshan King jointly fought against the most powerful Shanbei King and attacked each other. Zhu Yuanzhang sent eunuchs to the Ryukyu Kingdom and ordered the three kings not to fight again and to pay tribute together, and then gave the titles of Shannan King and Beishan King. .

This is the origin of the Great Ryukyu Kingdom and the Little Ryukyu Kingdom.

The Ming Dynasty recognized the three kings of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the surrounding small tribes all submitted to the three kings. For example, the chiefs of Miyakojima and Naha became more powerful and submitted to Nakayama. Soon, the chief of Yaeyama also came to pay homage to King Nakayama, establishing King Nakayama's sphere of influence.

The same goes for Southeast Asia.Because of the canonization in the Ming Dynasty, he won the support of the largest financial sponsor and gave various consolation envoys a lot of help.

Of course.

Not everyone can hold on.

For example, Anke Timur, the king of Hami in the northwest, was completely incompetent and was poisoned by Guili Chihan, the leader of the Oara splinter. This not only harmed himself, but also caused Hami to lose its stability. The war was fierce and the local people were in dire straits.

The Ming Dynasty's tributary vassal system and the policy of including chieftains were a win-win situation where both sides enjoyed benefits.

Even if the Ming Dynasty’s national power fell into decline.

Duogan Dusi, Uszang Dusi, and even the other Dusi still adhered to the banner of the Ming Dynasty and maintained stability for more than two hundred years.

Driven by many thoughtful people in later generations, many people ridiculed the canonization of the Ming Dynasty as a joke, and it was just a self-promotion of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the canonization of the Ming Dynasty was very valuable and of great significance. Otherwise, they would not have thought that the Ming Dynasty had perished. Many chieftains, The canonization of the Ming Dynasty was actually preserved until later generations.

After the Ming Dynasty was overthrown, it was not an easy task for it to remain intact for hundreds of years.

Therefore, although Zhu Di's toughness made many Xuanweisi feel unhappy, no one gave up.

These comfort envoys are more temperamental than the previous warlords.

They have their own army, and more importantly, tribes. They have their own tribes, which is more than ordinary warlords, so they cannot be treated lightly.

"But the distance between us and the imperial court is too far. We might miss things if we come back and forth."

The envoy of the Burmese Consolation Mission took the lead in saying.

Among all the Xuanwei Divisions, Burma is the most powerful.

The little overlord in the east of Southeast Asia is Annan, and the little overlord in the west is Myanmar.

As for the later Thailand, it has not yet taken shape. The newly emerged Siam was also the country named by Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty. In the [-]th century, Zheng Xin, whose ancestral home was in Guangdong, unified Siam, defeated the Burmese invasion, and fought in the north and south. It established the territory of Thailand for later generations.

Zhu Di stared at the envoy from the Myanmar Xuanwei Department.

The messenger did not dare to quibble anymore and lowered his head in front of everyone.

Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di has been fighting wars and prefers to use military means rather than slow political means.

Hongwu 25 years ago.

The main achievement was the recovery of the Northeast.

25 years after Hongwu.

Recover Sainan and Saibei, defeat the Oara invasion in Hami and Yili, implement the three-division system, destroy the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and recover Jiaozhi.

In front of this heroic lord, not even the envoys from the Burmese Propaganda Department dared to resist.

So scary.

"Duogandusi and Uszangdusi have responded to the imperial court's call and voluntarily built post roads to maintain transportation in various places. You should do the same. Within one year, the post roads in each Xuanwei Division will be built."

Zhu Di talked about old things.

Zhu Yuanzhang's contribution.

When Duogan Dusi and Uszang were established, and the Dharma kings and chieftains paid taxes to the Ming Dynasty, they began to build post stations to maintain communication between the two sides.

A year's time.

Everyone looked at each other.

"His Royal Highness, one year is too short, isn't it?" Daoxianji said bravely. He had finally put down the Jiaozhi rebels who had fled into Laos, but his vitality was seriously damaged.

Historically, it was the Ming army that entered Laos and pacified it.

Now Zhu Di only lets Dao Xianjie take responsibility.

"It takes a year to just organize an inn. How difficult is it? Or are your departments unable to shoulder their responsibilities?"

Zhu Di is extremely tough.

"If you feel that you are not good enough, tell me now and I will send someone to do it for you."

Asking God is easy to send God.

With such a strong Ming Dynasty, all the envoys and envoys did not dare to refuse, let alone try what the prince said he would send people to repair.

"In the past, various Xuanwei bureaus often went to war on their own, and even had wars with Yunnan chieftains. The past events were not investigated. If anyone in various places secretly raises armies in the future, the court will definitely take serious action. Don't say that it was unforeseen."

Ming Dynasty's power extended to Southeast Asia, which was Zhu Di's confidence.

In a few years, when Jiaozhi can provide supplies for the army, all the Xuanwei Departments will be even more afraid to jump.

This summons.

Many Xuanweisi are miserable and are not as happy as they imagined.

"The imperial court's attitude towards us has become stricter and is no longer as permissive as before." After returning home, Dao Xiangui complained to his younger brother.

"This time is different from the past."

Daotuli brought five hundred native soldiers to assist the Ming Dynasty in fighting, and he knew that the situation had changed.

"The imperial court used to be far away from us, and of course Emperor Tiangao was far away. Now it is right next door to us."

"What should I do next?"

"Of course my heart is towards China."

Dao Xiangui looked at his younger brother Dao Tuli. This brother seemed to be a different person when he stayed in Jiaozhou. He began to work hard to learn Chinese and write Chinese characters.

Even Annan has been pacified, and Myanmar in the west has become more honest. It is better for their little Laos not to stand out.
