This is the advantage of having a big fist.

Da Ming has a big fist, so Da Ming has the final say. Even if others are dissatisfied, they can only hide their grievances in their hearts.

What else could happen?

Join forces to go to war with the Ming Dynasty?

The weapons and equipment are not as good as those of the Ming Dynasty, and there are constant conflicts between the countries in Europe, including Britain and France, who are bitter enemies who want each other to die. How can we expect these countries to unite and form a cross-sea expeditionary army to travel thousands of miles from Europe?

Come to Daming to cause trouble?

Instead of fighting a war that is likely to be lost, it is better to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Ming Empire and gain more benefits from other countries - the barbarians of Europe also know how to make friends from far away and attack closely.

Therefore, the envoys in Europe could only send their own personnel to send messages to their own countries, saying that the Ming Emperor would invite all the monarchs in the world to come to the Ming Dynasty to gather, and the first world-class sports meeting would be held in four years.

It's just that compared to the certain pot and the small ball games where whoever has the toughest fists has the final say, the many problems of the Nanyang vassals are the real headaches.

Take the simplest example-Yunnan.

Whether it was Nanzhao in the Tang Dynasty or the Duan clan in the Song Dynasty, Yunnan could basically only be regarded as a foreign vassal, no different from Jiaozhi and Burma.

It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and made Mu Ying the hereditary Duke of Guizhou to permanently control Yunnan that Yunnan was completely transferred from a foreign vassal to a chief envoy directly under the imperial court.

In this process, Zhu Yuanzhang not only instructed General Fu Youde to reject the Duan family's request to surrender and annex to Dali, but also launched a large-scale destruction of documents and books, destroying all the books accumulated in Nanzhao and Dali over more than 600 years of history.

Both "official classics" and "opposition compendiums" were all burned to the ground, and severe punishments were used to suppress local forces, uprooting the civilizations of Nankang and Dali that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

In addition to large-scale burning of books and destruction of history, the Ming Dynasty spent several decades carrying out a large-scale immigration and replacement of Yunnan areas - first forcibly moving some local residents to Shandong, and then from Jiangsu and Zhejiang,

Jiangxi, Huguang and other places moved about three million Central Plains people into Yunnan, and allowed these people to occupy land with relatively convenient transportation.

For example, on July 28, the 21st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang gave an oral instruction to Fu Youde and Mu Ying: "There are 59,000 people under the jurisdiction of the Chief Envoy of Yunnan, with zero households, and 8600 with zero households, except when

The horse station delivers the goods urgently to the store. If the rest of the people see a household asking for a soldier, prepare their own swords and guns, so that the army can go down to the camp to conquer the Baiyi people. If you don't agree, wait until the army comes back from the Baiyi army and ask the general officer.

The leader took it and moved it."

To put it simply, Mr. Zhu used the method of "whether you are willing to bring your own dry food and follow the Ming army to fight the Baiyi" to judge whether the local residents are reliable. Anyone who is unwilling will be regarded as unreliable and must be forcibly relocated to the Central Plains.

Other places in the hall.

Then, the Ming Dynasty tacitly allowed the local aristocratic families to "false their nationality" - that is, it admitted that the ancestors of these aristocratic families were originally Han people, and they all moved to Yunnan after marching and fighting with the imperial court. Most of them falsely identified themselves as Jiangnan.

With Han nationality in Sichuan and other places, the Duan family in Dali even pretended to be Wuwei County in Hexi Province.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty spared no effort to promote the Central Plains Tangkou culture in Yunnan, eliminating the possibility of local people being alienated again.

This process took the Ming Dynasty more than a hundred years.

The same is true in places such as Cochin, Myanmar and Siam.

Although the entire Cochin has been declared pacified, and Burma and Siam are also included, from a legal point of view, it is no different from the chief envoys in Shandong and Henan. The rest is basically to set up states in Nanyang.

County, and then start large-scale immigration to the border.

However, the pacification of Jiaozhi and the annexation of Burma and Siam only completed the legal process of converting from an external vassal to a direct administration. From a practical point of view, there will inevitably be a lot of problems later.

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Mimi Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here ]

It's easier to say that in Cochin, but many aristocratic families in Burma and Siam are definitely not happy with Zhu Jinsong's version of "return to native land" - if it were replaced by Zhu Yuanzhang's version of "return to native land", they might still be happy, after all.

Changing a family tree to another is considered an ancestral skill for these aristocratic families in Nanyang.

The problem is that Zhu Jinsong's version of reforming the land and returning it to the countryside was to defeat the evil gentry and divide the land. For the Ming Dynasty, it completed the redistribution of wealth, but for these noble families, it would be fatal.

There is also the collection of local books - whether they are "official classics" or "opposition compendiums", these must be collected and can be sealed in the Royal Library of the Ming Dynasty, but local people must not be allowed to keep them.

In addition, the original writing and language were completely abolished, and the language and writing of the Ming Dynasty were fully implemented...

All in all, there are a lot of problems.

Of course, other problems are not a problem. It doesn't matter even if the monkeys continue to rebel. After all, the Ming Dynasty's military strength is there, and it is not afraid of being unable to suppress these monkeys.

The problem that really troubles Zhu Jinsong and the big bosses in the Ming Dynasty is the immigration border——

Zhu Yuanzhang's operation on Yunnan is there. Zhu Jinsong and the big bosses in the Ming Dynasty will of course choose to move a large number of people there, relying on the Ming Dynasty's own population advantage to crush the local indigenous population base.

The problem is how to get people to migrate.

Just like in the Qing Dynasty when Huguang filled up Sichuan and moved borders and banned seas, they used knives to force people to move?

Don't talk nonsense. The Qing Dynasty could do this kind of thing of directly forcing people to migrate with a knife. Even Zhu Chongba, Zhu Laosi and even the emperors in history could do this. Only Zhu Jinsong could not do this.

.

This was a result that had been destined since Zhu Jinsong launched his army to rebel against the Qing Dynasty.

The current situation is extremely painful: if Zhu Jinsong needs money, food or troops to fight, the people of the Ming Dynasty are very willing to support him. They are even willing to use the last grain of rice at home as military rations and send their last son to the army.

battlefield.

But it is very difficult to get them to leave their homes and move to Myanmar, Siam, Cochin and other places. No matter how much the local government and farmers' associations try to persuade them, few are willing to respond.

Money for Anjia? Cattle for seeds and farming tools?

If such a good thing had happened during the Qing Dynasty, the people who rushed to get there would have had their brains ripped out. The key is that the people of the Ming Dynasty were unwilling.

too far.

Before the popularization of such artifacts as trains, a distance of a hundred miles could be considered a long trip. A thousand miles away, it was normal to be in a situation where one was not sure whether one was alive or dead.

After all, there was no WeChat at this time, no mobile phones, not even telephone calls and telegrams.

In addition, clan relations must also be taken into consideration.

How did the word "people leave their hometown and become cheap" come into being?

Where the clan is located, it has been reproducing and living from generation to generation, and the people and relationships are intricately connected, making it easy to do many things.

Once you leave the clan's sphere of influence, if you want to do something, it's easy to just ask your grandfather or grandma, unless you have a lot of money and use the money to clear the way.

The problem is, if there is a lot of money, who will have nothing to do and leave their clan's sphere of influence?

Not to mention traveling to places like Cochin and Myanmar.

Once you go, the hope of returning to your hometown in your lifetime is basically zero. In other words, unless a clan intends to spread its branches, no one is willing to go.

Unless they can't survive - the problem is that the people of the Ming Dynasty lived well in the Ming Dynasty, and it's not like they can't live without the money to settle down, seeds and farming tools.

Therefore, the problem is back in Zhu Jinsong's hands.

It is foreseeable that in the future, it will definitely be more difficult to relocate people to places further away, such as Liaodong and Alaska.

Zhu Jinsong had a gloomy look on his face and looked at Zeng Cheng and other big bosses, saying, "We have a Ming Dynasty with 30 million people, but in the end, not even 30,000 are willing to move!"

"There are not enough people to move there, so what difference does it make if Burma and Siam are included or not? There is also Jiaozhi, there is a large area of ​​empty land, but no one is cultivating it? Is this ridiculous?"

Zeng Cheng and other big bosses are looking at their noses, and their noses are looking at their hearts. Who the hell is to blame? Look at the Qing Dynasty, putting a knife on the necks of ordinary people, and moving as many people as they want!

Of course, if you were an ordinary person, it would be better to live under the rule of Emperor Zhu Jinsong, the Ming Dynasty. At least you could live like a human being.

After a moment of silence, Zeng Cheng turned his attention to Zhu Erdan: "Your former military governor's office, how many workers were arrested in Jiaozhi this time? Are there any women?"

Zhu Erdan was stunned and said: "There must be a lot of workers arrested, there are a lot of men and women."

Zeng Cheng hummed, and then turned his attention to Zhu Jinsong: "Your Majesty, how about we give concubines to the common people who are willing to move to Nanyang? Anyway, we don't have many other people in Ming Dynasty. Those bachelors who have not found wives

But there are many."

Hearing this, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help but secretly cursed himself for being confused - so many textbooks in a certain orphanage had written about this trick, why didn't he think of it?

After secretly calculating, Zhu Jinsong said: "Then let's face it, the former military governor's office has intercepted all the women from Jiaozhi who were originally going to be laborers. Whoever goes to Nanyang first will be picked first."

"And your Fifth Army Commander's Office, ask the soldiers who are about to retire if they are willing to go to Nanyang. As long as they are willing to go, all the benefits will be doubled - the settlement allowance will be twenty taels of silver, which is two hundred dragons.

, two cattle for farming, two for the concubine, and two hundred acres of farmland."

After all the big guys bowed down and responded, Zhu Jinsong ordered Ke Zhiming again: "Go and spread some news to me."

…

Rumor has it that a certain bachelor who had never married a wife took the initiative to move to Jiaozhi in response to the call of the Ming Emperor, and ended up choosing a very handsome concubine.

There are rumors in the world that a certain gentleman went to Nanyang and took more than a dozen concubines. He was a groom almost every day and changed his bride every night. He was very beautiful.

There are rumors in the world that an unknown retired soldier from the former military governor's office responded to the call of the Ming Emperor and took the initiative to settle in Myanmar. As a result, a jade mine was discovered in the land allocated to him by the government, and he was paid tens of millions of taels by the court.

After buying it at a price, he directly became the richest veteran of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially after the Ming Dynasty announced in the new issue of "Ming Newspaper" that it was about to start building a passenger steam engine railway line through Cochin, Siam, Myanmar and other places, the Ming bachelors and some old perverts couldn't sit still.

Living.

According to the plan announced by the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty will use five to ten years to build the railways in these places. If the speed of the steam locomotives can be increased, it is estimated that it will only take two or three days from Siam to Jinling.

time.

In this way, the worry of not being able to return to one's roots after death no longer exists.

Then, the people of the Ming Dynasty discovered that the officials in the government had changed - when they originally begged you to go to Nanyang, these officials made promises and wishes, and they just knelt down to beg your grandfather to sue your grandma. Now, you guys
