If Han Du knew what the Zhang family was thinking, he would scold him for being wishful thinking. He and he were not related, so why should he give him preferential treatment? Han Du would give preferential treatment to the people of the Ming Dynasty because the people paid taxes;
We will give preferential treatment to the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, because the craftsmen contributed to the Ming Dynasty.
And why do they want preferential treatment? Just because they are overseas?
Zhao Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, no."
"Oh? Why." Han Du didn't believe that Zhao Xian was so generous. Facing the natives who wanted his life, he would speak for the natives for no reason. There must be some deep meaning in this.
Zhao Xian explained: "My uncle didn't know something. These natives used to work for us. If my uncle kills them all, then our industries will be finished."
When Han Du heard this, his eyes widened. What on earth did these people do to turn hundreds of thousands of natives into working for them? No wonder these natives wanted to rebel, these people actually monopolized all the resources on the island
Yes, they are completely the native emperors of this island.
"But if we don't kill the natives' courage, since they can attack you for the first time, they can attack you countless times." Han Du frowned, obviously not wanting to let the natives go.
Of course Han Du doesn't want to give up chasing the natives now. Just one Zhuangzi has harvested so much gold and silver. If he can use the excuse to kill the natives and loot the entire island, how much benefit can he get? Even Han Du doesn't
Dare to imagine.
Therefore, it is impossible to get Han Du to give up the suppression of the natives. It is enough that people like Zhao Xian agree to suppress the natives. Even if people like Zhao Xian do not agree, Han Du will not pay attention to them.
"This..." Zhao Xian and others looked at each other. What Han Du said makes sense. If such a rebellion is lightly exposed, then from now on, even if these natives are left behind,
Then they don’t always rebel?
Who can bear this?
"What do you think uncle should do?" Zhao Xian and others didn't know what to do, so they just asked Han Du for help.
Han Du originally planned to drive out these natives, but now that Zhao Xian and others have spoken, Han Du planned to teach these natives a profound lesson.
"We still have to clean up. If we don't beat these natives up, they won't obey you at all." Han Du said calmly.
After thinking for a while, Han Du suggested: "Let's do this. I will lead my men to kill all the natives who are stubborn and those who have blood on their hands. The rest will teach them a lesson so that they will never be promoted again."
How about feeling rebellious?"
Zhao Xian and others looked at each other, bowed together, and agreed: "But it's up to my uncle to make the decision."
That's good! Han Du nodded.
Now that Zhao Xian and others' worries have been resolved, it's time for them to fulfill their promises.
"Since you are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, please submit an atlas of mountains and rivers, and a Book of Ten Thousand Peoples." Han Du looked at the few people with a smile on his face.
Zhao Xian and others looked at each other in confusion, exchanged quick glances, and finally pushed Zhao Xian out. Zhao Xian couldn't refuse, and didn't know what to say, so he smiled dryly and said: "Do you still need the Atlas of Mountains and Rivers and the Book of Ten Thousand People?
"
"certainly."
Tang He suddenly made a loud noise and said with a serious look: "Anyone who joins the Ming Dynasty must submit an atlas of mountains and rivers and a book of peoples. Otherwise, wouldn't it look like a fake?"
"Young Master, what you said makes sense," what else can Zhao Xian say? It's now this time, and even if you want to go back on your word, it's impossible. It's better to just agree generously.
"Please wait a moment, sir, for the atlas of mountains and rivers and the book of millions of people. The grassroots and other people will definitely deliver them tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhao Xian glanced at the other people and then tentatively said to Han Du: "Uncle, Cao Min and others still have a question. I wonder if uncle can help Cao Min and others clear up their doubts?"
"Please tell me." Han Du pondered for a moment and waved his hand.
Zhao Xian hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle, will there be a county here in the future after the Ming Dynasty? I wonder if there will be a chance to serve the imperial court?"
When Han Du heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
Zhao Xian and others wanted to serve the Ming Dynasty here and there, and they were asking Han Du for officials and power.
As soon as Zhao Xian's words were heard, Han Du felt a surge of anger in his heart. But then Han Du thought of something, and the anger in his heart calmed down strangely, and he began to think about this issue seriously.
Tang He sat aside and was strangely silent, let alone reminding Han Du, as if he didn't hear what Zhao Xian just said at all.
"Whether to establish a prefecture or a county is naturally decided by the emperor. And how to arrange officials, the court only has laws." Han Du said with a solemn expression.
When Zhao Xian and others heard this, their hearts sank. They originally thought that this was just a small matter. If they could serve as officials here, then with their background, they would be able to have a certain say. Although it is definitely not as good as the current one.
Yan Jiuding is enough for them to protect themselves.
But Han Du's attitude made them feel disgusted.
When Han Du saw these people, he suddenly distanced himself a bit. He lowered his head and frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "However, these people are determined to serve the country. I will naturally report it to the emperor and do it in front of the emperor."
You guys are fighting hard, what do you think?"
Zhao Xian and others felt a sudden turn of events, and they quickly paid homage to Han Du: "Uncle Xie."
After a negotiation, both parties were satisfied.
Although Zhao Xian and others paid a lot, they received safety guarantees. In total, they did not suffer a loss.
Although Han Du obtained this place and nominally incorporated it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he paid a lot. Apart from anything else, the natives on the island are still waiting for Han Du to clear them out.
However, in the long run, Handu is also very profitable.
After Zhao Xian and others left, Tang He sneered and said: "You are so brave, you even dare to grant and accept court officials privately. Do you think that you are about to become the son-in-law of a superior, and the superior will not
kill you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang would be open-minded to his sons-in-law, but he was still far from the point where he would not kill them. Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang also killed his sons-in-law, but not many, just one or two. On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang really did not kill them.
He had children, even if he wanted to do evil and harm the people like Zhu Fan, he would just give him a whip.
This may be related to the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang has lost too many relatives since he was a child, which leads to the fact that Lao Zhu now attaches more importance to family ties.
Han Du saw that Tang He was very upset and knew that he was really worried about him, so he explained: "Master, don't be anxious, please listen to me."
