The southern barbarian land!

After Mu Tianbo left, Zhu Guoqiang, who returned to the imperial study from the Imperial Garden, came to the front of the map and drew a big circle with colored pencils south of Guangxi, Yunnan.

"From the future, this place will be the new Nanban land!"

After saying that, Zhu Guoqiang looked extremely proud.

"His Majesty."

Just then, Liu Rushi, dressed in a palace outfit, walked into the study. Six years ago, after Zhu Guoqiang ascended the throne, she was named Concubine Zhuang as a concubine.

“This is the freshly brewed hangover tea.”

After taking the teacup from Liu Rushi's hand and drinking it all in one gulp, Zhu Guoqiang, who was still unsatisfied, was still staring at the "Nan Barbarian Land" on the map.

"Your Majesty, it seems that he has found another place for the Ming Dynasty...the southern barbarian land."

Liu Rushi, who was standing aside, looked at the map and said.

"During King Zhuang of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, the barbarians around Chu took advantage of the great famine of Chu to attack Chu. "They attacked the southwest and then attacked the southeast. Yong led the barbarians to rebel against Chu, and the people led hundreds of Pu to gather in the election and attack Chu." Yong was in Zhushan, Hubei, and was the leader of the barbarians. The Chu people then launched a large-scale counterattack on the barbarians, which was known in history as King Wu of Chu. Under the counterattack of Chu, Yong was destroyed and the barbarians surrendered to Chu. By the time of King Zhao of Qin, Bai Qi attacked Chu, "shortly captured the barbarians and first established Qianzhong County", and further occupied the Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou areas where the barbarians lived. At that time, it was the present Jiangnan, which was the land of barbarians. Your Majesty named it "Nan Barbarians". Could it be that this place was another Jiangnan in my Ming Dynasty?"

The statement that Nanyang is another Jiangnan is used. After the large number of "Nanyang rice" arrived in the Central Plains, this statement was made by the official people, but this statement is focused on "Nanyang is rich, and the world is full." However, Liu Rushi saw His Majesty's thoughts from the three words written by His Majesty on the map.

It is not just a simple expansion of territory, but a place that becomes part of China, which truly belongs to China, rather than being strong and returning to China, wherever China is weak, and wherever it belongs to the barbarians.

Just like in the Western Regions, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, but what about that?

When it was powerful, it was the territory of the Han and Tang dynasties. But when the Han and Tang dynasties were weak, was there any Western Regions?

But no matter whether China is weak or strong, the "Southern Barbarians" in the Spring and Autumn Period belong to China, and the same is true in Yunnan today.

Effective domination!

This is the real conquest...

"good,"

Nodded, Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"Two hundred years later, this is another Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty. We Han people spent nearly two thousand years to turn Jiangnan, a marijuana-ridden evil land, into the land of fish and rice in the Ming Dynasty. I plan to use two hundred years to turn this southern barbarian land into a new Jiangnan..."

Zhu Guoqiang said with his fingers drawn on the map.

"This is also a crossing south. However, this time, it is not a crossing of the Yangtze River, but a crossing the sea, crossing the ocean, and then from the sea to the river. Zhuang Fei, you see, this is the Mekong River, this is the Zhaopiye River in Siam, this is the Salwin River in Myanmar, this is the Irrawaddy River. Immigrants can continuously arrive at the estuary city by sea, and then go north against the current and expand along the river. It only takes decades. The appearance here will definitely change greatly. There will be one or two hundred years. These places are another Jiangnan in my Ming Dynasty!"

In fact, if there was a choice, Zhu Guoqiang would rather build several railways, which would directly connect to the Nanman land from the mainland. However, when he thought about the difficulty of the construction of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway in another era, he directly chose to give up. Now... the technology is immature.

However, the current steam engine technology has matured. In a few years, steam boats will be put into use, at least in the inland rivers. With steam boats and railways, for decades, this Southeast Asia will become another southwest, and in another one or two hundred, it will definitely be another Jiangnan.

Zhu Guoqiang was full of confidence in this. After all, he had a magical weapon - Quinine!

Ten years ago, when he first arrived in Taiwan, in addition to buying a large number of synthetic quinine tablets from the other side, Zhu Guoqiang also specially brought cinchona saplings. Those saplings brought from the 21st century have been carefully trained for more than a century. The quinine content is far greater than that of naturally grown cinchona saplings. With it, there is also sufficient quinine. Six years ago, relying on the cinchona tree in the Taiwanese plantation, the Ming Dynasty finally realized the "domesticization" of quinine.

Quinine, an inconspicuous small pill, is the greatest help to the Ming Dynasty conquer the South China Sea. With it, in the past decade, only a few thousand people died of malaria and the fever disease caused by the Ming Dynasty. This is simply unimaginable.

Historically, during the Napoleonic Wars, Britain landed in the Netherlands and occupied a small island of Valheron. They stayed on the island for four and a half months, and more than 4,000 people died during this period, of which only more than 100 died in battle, and the rest died of fever. Malaria is the main cause.

Malaria, even Southeast Asia's most fundamental reason for its sparse population, has taken too many lives. Of course, with the protection of quinine, there is no problem with the safety of Ming immigration.

Without the threat of disease, at most fifty years, the southern barbarian land will be like the southwest. The local "barbarians" will slowly integrate into China. At most one or two hundred years, the "Southern barbarian land" will naturally become another Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, then, did you exil those officials and scholars to Nanyang to prepare for today? Speaking of which, this is similar to the "clothing and transiting south" in history. In addition to ordinary people, there are many gentry moving south to the south. After they took root in the south, they have achieved the prosperity of culture and education in Jiangnan now..."

When talking about the old things, Liu Rushi's beautiful eyes were full of worship. Your Majesty is truly wise and had planned a plan for hundreds of years a few years ago.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Duke of Qian had just left. When Emperor Gao was at the age of Emperor Gao, 300,000 government troops stationed in Yunnan. Although it had been more than two hundred years, I had never heard of the prosperity of Yunnan's literary style. After all, it was because the people who went there were all military soldiers. However, Your Majesty exiled thousands of Jiangnan scholars and officials to the Southern Barbarians early in the morning. Although they had the stain of "submitting the enemy and following the thief", they were also scholarly families for generations. With them spreading education locally, within a hundred years, the "Southern Barbarian Land" would inevitably become another Jiangnan in our Ming Dynasty and another place where literary styles were flourishing. At that time, there would probably be many "Southern Barbarians" on the Jinshi list."

Looking at Liu Rushi, Zhu Guoqiang was surprised. Why did the southwest not become Jiangnan? The reason for the fixed mountains and thalaspora is that the education process of immigrants is also the key!

Most of the immigrants in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty were ordinary soldiers, but the mainstream of the Jin Dynasty was the northern aristocratic people and the people who depended on them! It was these northern aristocratic people who brought advanced civilization to the south and laid the foundation for southern culture and education.

Zhu Guoqiang had never thought about this before. Now, after Liu Ru said this, there is indeed a little reason.

Exile officials!

Those people are indeed wrong, but they are indeed scholars and officials who are full of knowledge. With them here, why worry about the lack of literary style in Southeast Asia!

He saw Liu Rushi suddenly stopped. She looked at the map with a pretty eyebrows and said again with a slight lock.

"However, these people are now concentrated in Taiwan, Hekou, and Nantianmen. This is too concentrated. If Your Majesty can issue an order to move to various parts of the Southern Barbarians, these thousands of scholars and officials will be the foundation for the prosperity of the Southern Barbarians' culture and education!"

Listening to her suggestions, Zhu Guoqiang laughed.

"If this is the case, this plan is very wonderful. In this way, the Southern Barbarians will definitely become another Jiangnan of our Ming Dynasty, well..."

After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang said again.

"It's not enough to just let them move to various parts of the Southern Barbarians. They finally settled down in Taiwan, Hekou, and Nantianmen. If they forced them to move, they would definitely be opposed and even cause dissatisfaction."

Those people are not simply exiled to those places. They are "exiled prisoners who cannot return to the Ming Dynasty in their entire lives", so they must settle down and take root in the exile place.

"In the past few years, they have just reclaimed the land and have just taken root. They can no longer bother them in terms of emotion and reason. But..."

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"I won't bother them, let them mess with themselves. After conquering the Southern Barbarians, I will set up a province in the Southern Barbarians. At that time, yes, they will be allowed to move to the local area, and their descendants can take the county examination and scientific examination..."

Originally, it could be said that they were beaten to death with one blow!

Not only did they all move their nine tribes, but because there were no county examinations in Taiwan, Hekou and Nantianmen, their descendants would not be able to re-enter the imperial examinations even if they wanted to take the scientific examinations. Now, if they made such a secret, those people would definitely happily give up their families and leave their businesses and go to the Nanman people, and take root in the local area.

Even the court officials in the court would definitely cheer and attack the Southern Barbarians. Why? They did not want to expand their territory, but to allow the descendants of old friends to return to the court to become officials.

"So, your idea has solved me a big problem..."

When he was talking, he saw that Liu Rushi's gaze had changed a little, and felt that his majesty's burning gaze was almost soft.

Liu Rushi, who had a confused look, said softly:

"Your Majesty hasn't gone to me for a while."

His eyes were hot and he looked at His Majesty. Her expression was indescribable charm, seduction, and long-suppressed enthusiasm, without any concealment.

"Well..." After a sigh of resentment was sighing, Liu Rushi said in a sweet voice.

"Fortunately, Shi Niang is with me, otherwise I really don't know how to survive this life..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Guoqiang looked at her and smiled.

"It's me who neglected me. Let's go to your place today and let Shi Niang go there too. You can accompany me tonight."

Your Majesty's words made Liu Rushi, who had lowered his eyebrows and drooped his eyes, only felt his cheeks burning, and he responded softly with a shy look on his face.
Chapter completed!
