The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 560: Daming’s new gameplay is very uncomfortable
"Siam, Chenla, and Champa are all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. No war is allowed. Violators will be punished."

Day three.

Zhu Di began to summon them separately.

Siam and Chenla are neighboring countries. The two countries border on Laos. The south of Chenla is close to the sea. The neighboring country to the east is Champa. A large area of ​​​​the land in Champa falls in Jiaozhi, which means there is an additional Ming Dynasty neighbor.

King Zhenla went hunting for Popiya, but he never imagined that one day, Ming Dynasty would become his neighbor inexplicably.

Zhu Di looked at the three vassal states.

Zhu Di had not been the crown prince for a long time and was urgently trained by Zhu Yuanzhang.

National affairs are huge and cannot be fully understood in a short time.

The Ministry of Rites sent a large number of records and officials who understood the situation in the three kingdoms to explain the relevant information to Zhu Di.

The area of ​​Chenla has been recorded in historical records during the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was originally a tribe, but during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Chenla also developed.

During the Sui Dynasty, King Chenla sent envoys to pay tribute. During the Tang Dynasty, Chenla also sent envoys. Only 32 precious white elephants were sent. They were all trained to kneel and dance, and were held in the Tang Dynasty palace during holidays. Performance.

Then came the Song Dynasty. King Chenla sent ambassadors to pay tribute and gave him court uniforms. In the second year of Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty issued an imperial edict to seal King Chenla and Champa.

In the sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, King Huerna of Zhenla sent his envoy Naiyijilang to offer gifts and pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

In the beginning, Chenla was the most awesome.

Relying on the technology absorbed from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it developed faster than its surroundings, so it often bullied Champa and Siam. During the Southern Song Dynasty, a large number of Han people fled in. Annan gained the largest population and technology, followed by Champa, which made Champa stronger. stand up.

Annan bullied Champa, Champa bullied Chenla, and Chenla gradually declined, causing Chenla, the largest one, to become the last one, and was bullied by Siam on the other side.

Chenla is the territory of Cambodia in later generations.

Siam is the Thailand of later generations.

The Siamese envoy was very dissatisfied when he heard this.

Today, Siam is at a time when its national power is on the rise. It is expanding rapidly outwards, or has gained a large sphere of influence. It has defeated the Sukhothai dynasty in the north and made it a vassal state of Siam. The plan is to annex Chenla.

in history.

In the mid-[-]th century, the Dacheng Dynasty was born in Siam. By the mid-[-]th century, it had become the dominant power in Southeast Asia.

Annan's inevitable decline was due to its long-term war with the Ming Dynasty.

Champa also gradually declined because it was initially defeated by Annan and seized a large area of ​​land. Such an environment gave Siam an external advantage in dominating Southeast Asia.

Later, Siam's expansion was defeated by Myanmar.

So in the current situation, Siam at this stage is about to take off, but it has not yet taken off.

Zhu Di did not care about the dissatisfaction of the Siamese envoy and continued: "The Kingdom of Sukhothai has been on good terms with China since ancient times. You relied on force to intimidate the country and violated the etiquette. When you returned, you told Ramaraja to restore Sukhothai. The free status of the Kingdom of Thailand.”

The Siamese envoy looked at Zhu Di in disbelief.

This was not the case before the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di paused for a moment, and did not think of it despite all his efforts. He finally took out a booklet, spread it out and searched for a section.

Such an action made everyone's eyes jump.

What does it mean.

"Chinese civilization has always pursued peace. Any area that destroys peace is a sinful act and cannot be tolerated in the free world. For the sake of the order of world civilization, Ming Dynasty, as the sovereign state of the previous dynasty, should shoulder the responsibility of maintaining civilization."

"Any kingdom or region that destroys civilization and refuses freedom will be punished by the coalition forces of the suzerain and other vassal states."

Zhu Di finished reading this convoluted sentence.

The boss likes to do these things.

After hearing what Zhu Di said, the happiest person was King Zhenla. He had been bullied miserably by Siam. If not for this, he would not have come to Jiaozhi to meet the Ming Prince in person. In his heart, he was looking forward to asking the Ming Prince to be Zhenla. Call the shots.

I completely forgot how Chenla bullied Siam.

"The Kingdom of Chenla will only follow the lead of the suzerain country and will never violate the requirements of the suzerain country. The pursuit of civilization is the pursuit of the whole Kingdom of Chenla." King Zhenla said loudly, not forgetting to take a look at the Siamese envoy. .

suddenly.

Shen Xie Po Piya Xinsheng feels so good to be neighboring countries to the Ming Dynasty.

With Ming's support behind him, he wanted to see if the Kingdom of Siam still dared to bully him.

Zhu Di was also speechless.

There are too many powers in Southeast Asia. Regardless of the kings one after another, they are really not as good as Goryeo and Japan.

Although the Japanese country is not yet convinced, Goryeo is becoming more and more obedient, but after all, it still has some national background. When dealing with it, it is like a country-to-country style, unlike in Southeast Asia, Zhu Di seems to be playing house with them. Home.

Then I met Champa again.

The king of Champa came to see Zhu Di in person.

"As for the areas you mentioned, we must follow the wishes of the local people and end the disputes as soon as possible. Now that Annan has been recovered, peace has ushered in this land, and the people are laughing and laughing." Zhu Di comforted.

After listening to the interpreter's translation, the king of Champa felt angry and helpless.

what words.

"Your Highness, the foreign minister hopes that the city can be surrounded by the Ming Dynasty."

"Okay." Zhu Di agreed immediately.

Historically, Annan occupied most of the land in Champa, leaving only barren land. Faced with the danger of national subjugation at that time, Champa also chose to send envoys to contact the Ming Dynasty and request for attachment.

The conditions at the time did not allow it.

It's different now.

Zhu Di was not afraid that the other vassal kings would die, destroying the foundation of the vassal system, and that Jiaozhi would be completely pacified, which would free up military power, so when he heard the Champa King's request, he directly agreed without any excuses in terms of face.

see.

The king of Champa had a complicated heart.

"If you want to stay in Champa, then I will make you the envoy of Champa. If you want to visit the capital and live in a better environment, I will make you the Duke of Champa in the Ming Dynasty."

The king of Champa hesitated in his heart and couldn't let go of Champa, but he was also curious about the Ming Dynasty that he heard was like the kingdom of heaven.

"This matter is not urgent. You can return to the capital with me first and then reply to me after you have considered it carefully."

"Respect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's decree."

The king of Champa breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of relief. In the past few years, due to internal and external troubles and insufficient food, Champa could no longer sustain itself. In the end, it was annexed by Annan and disappeared into the long river of history.

Day two.

When everyone heard the news that the King of Champa requested to be attached to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty agreed, and gave the King of Champa his own choice, and would give preferential treatment to any one, they all showed complicated expressions on their faces.

In the past, Ming Dynasty was far apart.

Although everyone carries the banner of the Ming Dynasty above their heads, there is a toast between them. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so everyone does not feel anything. Life has been created, wars have been fought, peace talks have been held, you sing and I will appear on the stage.

They are both Li thieves and their sons. They live a good life and attract the Ming Dynasty.

And no one can blame Daming.

This was the King of Champa's own choice, and it was not forced by the Ming Dynasty by force.

For the first time, everyone felt the power of the light of civilization.

Then Zhu Di began to summon the Myanmar Xuanwei Department, Laos Xuanwei Department, etc. one by one.

At last.

The various Xuanwei departments and Zhu Di reached an agreement.

Any person or force that destroys the peace will be attacked by the whole world. All Xuanwei Divisions must cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to send troops, and formulate the sacred teachings of schools, the re-enactment of various taxes, treaty ports, merchants to establish commercial wars, etc. system.

Agreements were made with Siam and Chenla on vassal cooperation, allowing free trade with each other, exemption from customs duties, etc.

Zhu Di finished his work on Xuanweisi and the vassal state, and began to arrange Jiaozhi and Champa.

After the war, we have to talk about our achievements.

However, the results of the meritorious service must be reported back to the court, and the final decision was made by his father. Zhu Di did not become arrogant because of his power.

Recruited Zhu Neng, Mu Sheng, Zhang Fu, Huang Fu and other close civil and military officials.

"Zhu Neng stayed in Annan and cooperated with Huang Fu, who transformed Champa into a province."

"After Mu Sheng returned to Yunnan, he strengthened the management of local officials, mainly building roads to prepare for future railway laying, and recruited at least 20 people."

"Zhang Fu is responsible for the return of the army to the court."

After all arrangements were made, Zhu Di set off from Jiaozhou with the Champa king and the guard battalion. Without flying the royal flag, everyone thought it was an ordinary army passing through. After rushing back to Guangxi, he called Zhu Gaoxu, and the two father and son took the train back to the capital. .

The grand occasion of the Central Asian Peninsula made the people of Jiaozhi soaring in confidence, and their centripetal force towards the Ming Dynasty was higher than before, and they recognized their identity as Ming Dynasty people.

10,000+ people from the mainland moved to Jiaozhi.

Mainly the southern region.

A large number of Cochin refugees also came to the southern region, and each family was assigned acres of land.

The main crops are rice, with three crops a year, and in some areas even four crops a year. There was usually no stable environment, resulting in low productivity. Now the internal and external conflicts have been resolved, and the big households have also shared the benefits.

A large number of tenant farmers were recruited from the south.

Large tracts of old forests were cleared, and individual trees were transported back to Guangdong by merchant ships.

The development of Guangdong's commerce, such as the printing industry, papermaking industry, furniture industry, etc., consumes very high amounts of wood, and domestic requirements for the use of wood are high, which has stimulated business opportunities for merchants to transport wood back from the Central Asian Peninsula.

After the end of internal and external conflicts, more than a year of governance in the mainland quickly eased the food crisis. Not only did it become self-sufficient, it could also supply Guizhou, Fujian and other places in the mainland.

The unexpected harvest made the Ming court very happy.

Zhu Di has not returned to Beijing yet.

Intelligence on the Central Asian Peninsula has been transmitted back to the capital.

The headlines of major newspapers are all about His Highness the Crown Prince's great achievements.

There is also a lot of space in it, reporting on the happy life of immigrants. In the Jiaozhi area, they not only became big landowners, but also had their own tenants. This was completely different from the trend in the mainland of suppressing the use of tenants, which caused a lot of controversy.

Are the people of Jiaozhi the people of the Ming Dynasty?

Why can Jiaozhi use tenants and boast about it in newspapers? If the people of Jiaozhi are the same as the people of Ming Dynasty, then should the mainland treat them equally and stop suppressing the big families from using tenants?
