"Your Highness, all the nobles in the capital of Zhenla were executed by Duke Liang."
"I know, let's go down."
"Follow orders."
Zhu Ying waved her hands boredly.
He hinted Lan Yu to execute the nobles of Zhenla.
Zhenla has decayed, and only its complete destruction can usher in new life.
In fact, for the rule of a region, the biggest spearhead is these former nobles. Whether it is resistance or uprising, they are indispensable.
Executing all the nobles and leaving only the common people would be equivalent to painting on a blank sheet of paper.
Next, Chenla will usher in a new rule, a large number of Chinese schools will be established, and all people will be forced to learn Chinese.
Of course, not all nobles will die, and many will be sentenced to hard labor, that is, they will become serfs to grow food.
Food is the foundation of a country. If food and clothing cannot be guaranteed, no matter how the economy takes off, it will be a castle in the air.
The Ming Dynasty's campaign also required logistics.
Zhu Ying has no intention of letting go of the entire Nanyang. From now on, it will become the granary of the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, Ming Dynasty also launched the latest migration policy.
This time it is not a forced migration like in the past history, but an inducement.
As long as Ming people who are willing to go to the three major provinces of Champa, Annan and Chenla and hold a Ming household registration, each person can get fifty acres of fertile land and be exempted from taxes for three years.
In the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang is playing chess with Fu Youde.
"Old Fu, you are so old and you still like to toss like this. Are you tired?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, seemingly unintentionally.
Fu Youde was stunned. He was frightened, but he immediately realized that the day had changed, and so had his superiors.
He doesn't need to be so worried anymore.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to, but it is like this now. I want to find a way out for the family. When my grandson's intention came out, the incompetent juniors in the family came to see me, and I couldn't refuse."
"Compared to Your Majesty, there is a great grandson like me who can take on important responsibilities. There are not many in my family who can take on important tasks, so I can only torment my old bones."
Listening to Fu Youde praising his eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hide the smile on his lips. No matter how many times he heard it, it always made him happy every time.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fu Youde's gray hair and couldn't help but sigh: "We are all old and cannot compare with young people. We have always refused to accept old age, but now we have to accept it."
"I don't think you need to bother with the matter of conquering the country overseas. Your two sons are still good, so let them go on their own. We can't rely on you, an old guy, for everything."
"There are not many old guys left with us now. Let's stay in the capital and enjoy our happiness."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Fu Youde think a lot. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have any other ideas. After all, the Ming Dynasty could already accommodate these old ministers.
This was also because Da Sun had developed the Ming Dynasty so well that Zhu Yuanzhang felt that there was no need to go on a killing spree, otherwise he would definitely take these old guys who had conquered the world with him with him.
"I listen to your Majesty." Fu Youde thought for a while but didn't know what your Majesty meant, so he agreed immediately.
Fu Youde and Chang Yuchun are equally famous, and are known as the "Two Tiger Generals" under Zhu Yuanzhang.
It can be said that in terms of bravery, Xu Da, Feng Sheng, Li Wenzhong and others are all inferior to Fu Youde, and only Chang Yuchun can rival him.
He joined Zhu Yuanzhang's army halfway, so he was never considered a direct descendant.
It's just that until now, most of the founding heroes of the country have died of old age, illness, war, or were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Now there are not many left, so he has become more conspicuous.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You went to the Western Regions and Tubo earlier. The Great Sun also wanted to be included in the direct rule of the Ming Dynasty. The Western Regions are easy to talk about. They have always been unruly and easy to govern. However, Tubo is a bit more difficult."
"We have never been to that place. We set up a Uzang before and let them take care of themselves. At least it was considered surrender. Now that the grandson wants to rule directly, it will be a lot more troublesome."
"Information came from Uzang. The ancient myth created by Da Sun is not easy to use. He agreed to it on the surface, but strictly prohibited it in private. It is said that anyone who dares to spread it will be killed by the bald donkey over there. At present,
The effect is very poor.”
"You also know that there are many religious believers in Tubo, and many crazy people even utter wild words that they will betray our Ming Dynasty. Dozens of officials sent there have been assassinated. It is clear that they want to rebel."
"The whole Tibetan people are working together to resist the entry of our Central Plains mythology. This is not an option."
"Recently, the imperial court has been preparing to build a railway track to Tibet. According to the current situation, it will be extremely laborious to build. Therefore, before building the railway track, the problem of Tubo must be solved."
Zhu Yuanzhang said so much, Fu Youde had already heard it, and he wanted to do it himself.
This is not a good thing. The news about Chenla has already spread. Lan Yu is killing the nobles of Chenla, almost killing all the nobles in Angkor, the capital of Chenla.
Now that His Majesty said this, Fu Youde understood that he wanted to be the sword and carry out a large-scale massacre of Tibet.
"In this case, I am willing to go to Tubo, but I feel difficult for Your Majesty." Fu Youde said respectfully.
At this point, his own thoughts no longer mattered, and it was impossible to disobey His Majesty's decree.
When Fu Youde returned home, he told his two sons the news.
Then he ordered: "The matter of going overseas must be handled as soon as possible. The conditions negotiated with those aristocratic families can be appropriately compromised. There is no need to hold on so tightly."
The eldest son Fu Zhong said solemnly: "Father, can't you refuse? There are many Tubo chieftains, and such a killing spree will inevitably cause a large-scale rebellion. If the imperial court wants to spread the doctrine, it should not let my father go at such an advanced age."
The third son Fu Rang also said: "Yes, father, the imperial court is clearly planning to clean up the entire Tubo. Let's not talk about the war for the time being. The Tubo Plateau alone is a great danger to our army. How many people are there on the plateau?
It’s hard to adapt.”
Tubo's current power is not strong, nor is it a unified country, but it is very troublesome for the Ming army to attack.
The key is altitude sickness.
Once the Ming army penetrated deep into Tubo, they would suffer a lot of altitude sickness, so that their combat effectiveness became extremely low.
Even when Timur invaded Tubo, he did not go deep into the plateau area, but wandered around the edges.
In today's era, altitude sickness can be fatal, and there are no good rescue methods.
Fu Zhong and Fu Rang also knew about this situation, so they wanted to dissuade their father.
Fu Youde shook his head and said: "Don't tell me to disobey His Majesty's decree and go to the commander-in-chief of Tubo. There are only a few people in the court. Your Majesty has already talked to me, and it is impossible to regret it now."
"If the imperial court wants to open up the railway track in Tubo, it must be able to pacify Tubo. Now that the imperial court has given such a great favor, allowing us to go overseas and establish a country, it is natural for us to work for the imperial court now."
"Earlier, I have been asking for my resignation from Your Majesty, and now I am begging to go overseas to found a country. So Your Majesty asked me to go to Tibet, how can I refuse?"
Fu Zhong said in a deep voice: "We have given up the opportunity to go overseas and found a country. Can you please take back your Majesty's orders?"
Fu Youde patted his eldest son on the shoulder: "I know you are filial, but this is related to the foundation of my Fu family. When I went to attend the meeting, I already knew that something would be waiting for me. If it were in the past, this would have already happened.
It can be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor, which means that the current situation is good."
"Don't think so much, go and get ready for life."
Having said this, the two sons said no more and bowed: "Yes, father."
The pacification of Tubo was a major event for the imperial court.
Zhu Ying heard that the old man had chosen Fu Youde, but didn't say anything.
After all, someone had to go. Fu Youde resigned many times after returning from the grassland, but as soon as the overseas education order came out, he jumped out again.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the old man letting him go.
In order to solve the problem of Tubo's education, there is no other method in this era, and it must be completely pacified.
After all, unlike the grasslands, Buddhism in Tubo has been integrated with politics, and now the Ming Dynasty is advocating the prehistoric myth system, which creates a natural contradiction.
There are Chinese schools in various places, whether it is within the Ming Dynasty, or in the grasslands, Chenla, the Japanese state, Annan, Champa, including the recently conquered Chenla.
In addition to conventional enlightenment teaching, promoting the prehistoric myth system is also an important key.
After every class, teachers in these schools will read the ancient mythology system to the students.
The current prehistoric mythology has been improved many times by Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Ying, and has formed many short stories contained in it.
The prehistoric myth has been so popular in later generations, but in today's era of ignorant people, it is simply a dimensionality-reducing blow.
Anyone who hears the ancient mythology for the first time will have their views reshaped by this huge mythological system. How can ordinary people not believe such a strictly forbidden divine structure?
The Ming Dynasty spread the myth system, not to spread faith, but from more aspects, to crush faith.
Because while telling this mythological system, there is never any requirement to believe in any gods. This is actually a kind of cultural invasion.
Once they accept the Central Plains mythology system, most people's belief in the current gods will become weak, and subconsciously, they will naturally recognize the Ming Dynasty's idea of kingship being granted by heaven.
The biggest reason why Tubo was very resistant to the mythology of the Central Plains was the influence of Buddhism on their politics.
This will fundamentally reduce the dominance of the Tubo chieftains.
And they have lived in the plateau area for a long time, and there is no altitude sickness. With these advantages, they can completely resist the Ming Dynasty.
Not just Tubo.
The Central Plains mythology system is also strictly prohibited in Siam, which is close to Chenla, or in other words, almost all countries are fighting against it.
The reason why Zhu Ying's prehistoric mythology was resisted by other sects was that he overturned the table of faith.
In today's era, especially in Asia, the most popular religious belief is naturally Buddhism.
However, in the Central Plains mythology system, Buddhism is not supreme. Although it has some prominent status, the saying that Buddha is the Tao will shake believers who come into contact with this idea.
Zhu Ying had not directly advocated force before, also because of post-war governance issues.
Now that the prehistoric mythology system has matured, it is natural to take a two-pronged approach both physically and spiritually.
Up to now, the prehistoric myth system has achieved very good results.
For example, Annan is a good example now.
Annan itself has been in the Central Plains circle since ancient times. It was only in recent years that the word "Nan" appeared, and there were signs of breaking away.
As the Ming Dynasty unified Annan, it naturally vigorously abolished the word "Nan" and moved closer to the Central Plains in customs.
In just a few years, the Chinese Academy has begun to bear fruit, which has a lot to do with the popularity of the ancient myth.
In an era when spiritual entertainment is lacking, it is easy for people to become obsessed with stories like ancient myths and novels.
Yes, even in later generations, ancient myths have such a great influence, let alone now.
As the scope of activities of Ming merchants continued to expand, the scope of influence of the prehistoric myths also gradually expanded.
Many countries, such as those in Central Asia, welcomed merchants from the Ming Dynasty, but privately designated the ancient myths as banned books and prohibited domestic folk dissemination.
But many nobles like ancient myths very much.
At this time, the envoy from Samarkand finally arrived in the Ming Dynasty.
Wilkin was the chief envoy of Samarkand this time.
He was previously a minister of the Western Chagatai Khanate. After the Western Chagatai Khanate was captured by Timur, he took refuge with Timur.
Over the years, he has gradually gained Timur's trust, and coupled with his good work ability, he can be regarded as one of Timur's confidants.
This time he came to the Ming Dynasty with a secret mission, which was to obtain the secret recipe of the Ming Dynasty train.
Originally, Timur was planning to ask Pierma Heima to come over again, but considering his current relationship with Ming Dynasty, he asked Wilkin to come over.
Wilkin knew that if he could bring back the secret recipe for the train, he and his family would gain greater power and wealth.
Although Wilkin is very proficient in Chinese, this is his first time to truly come to the Ming Dynasty territory.
The originally proud heart was about to be broken as he continued to approach the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
After passing through the Zhengyang Gate and entering the capital city of the Ming Dynasty, his pride in Samarkand had completely collapsed.
'It turns out that there really is such a great capital city in this world.'
The prosperity and vastness of the buildings that caught his eye made Wilkin froze in place.
Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette who welcomed Timur's envoy also came.
After all, it is a big country comparable to the Ming Dynasty, so naturally its reception will not be as casual as other small countries.
The person who came was Zhang Jian, the chief guest of the Ministry of Rites, a doctor in charge of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Jian saw his surprised look and knew that the other party was shocked by the majesty of the capital.
He was not surprised, after all, it would happen to anyone.
After returning to his senses, Wilkin was no longer haughty. He bowed slightly and saluted Zhang Jian to express his respect for the Ming Dynasty.
