My nephew has met Uncle Six." On the pier of Jinge City (San Diego), an elegant young man just stepped off the boat and saluted a middle-aged man who was standing on the shore and looking at him with a smile.
"Just call me uncle, why bother saluting?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Etiquette cannot be abolished," said the elegant young man.
"This is not the capital, or even the Central Plains, so there is no need to be so particular about etiquette." the middle-aged man said again.
"Ritual is the foundation of the country. Even though the Hanzhou Continent is a barbaric land and most of the people it governs are barbaric people, etiquette cannot be abolished. No, uncle Liu, my nephew thinks that it is because the Hanzhou Continent is a barbaric land.
In a barbaric land, most of the barbarian people are ignorant of etiquette, so they have to pay special attention to civilize the barbarians." The elegant young man said very seriously.
The middle-aged man was about to say something more when he heard a voice coming from above his head: "Brother Six, I advise you not to argue with your second nephew about this anymore. When he first arrived in Jinchuan City (San Francisco), my younger brother already argued with him.
I've passed it, but I can't deal with him, so I can only let him go."
"Uncle Twelve, that's not what you said..." The elegant young man was about to say more, but the man who just spoke had no intention of continuing to discuss this issue. He walked down from the boat and smiled at the middle-aged man.
Said: "I have met Sixth Brother."
"Twelfth brother." The middle-aged man greeted him and said, "Twelfth brother, why are you here too?"
"Why, my brother can't come?"
"Of course not. It's just a way to see him off, so you don't have to come in person."
"Brother, I haven't seen you for more than four months. It's strange that I stopped by to have a look." The man said. Seeing that the middle-aged man's expression became a little helpless, he smiled and said, "Brother, you are joking."
With him came to Jinchuan City, there were thousands of exiles and people who voluntarily came to the Hanzhou continent to prospect for gold, as well as many very important things such as cotton cloth, paper, ironware, etc. We have to discuss how to distribute these things. In addition, there are also
I have good news for you."
"Secondly, my brother doesn't quite understand what the letter you sent me said, and he wants to ask it in person."
"Thirdly, when Yun Wen came to the Hanzhou continent, it was natural to allocate a fiefdom to him. But the north of my brother's fiefdom was too cold. My brother sent people to explore the land in the north, and they had already passed the 44th north latitude where there were vast plains.
It is further north than the latitude of Yongming City, the capital of Yongfan, and Kaiyuan City, the capital of Yingfan. It is really a bitter cold place and is not suitable for granting Yunwen. To the west is the sea, to the south is your fiefdom, and to the east is
There is no place for Yunwen in the endless mountains, so we can only see if there is a suitable place for him near your fiefdom."
"We are uncles, so of course we have to help our nephew when he first got the fief, so the younger brother came with more than a thousand soldiers and horses. If Yun Wen's fiefdom needs to be attacked, he will lead the troops to fight.
"The man said.
This elegant young man is of course Zhu Yunwen, and the other two are King Zhu Zhen of Yin and King Zhu Bai of Shang. After Zhu Yunqi set out from the Central Plains, he followed the ocean current from west to east, and after several months, he arrived at the Hanzhou continent and landed at Jinchuan City.
Zhu Bai was naturally happy to see another relative coming from the Central Plains. Especially, although they were called uncle and nephew, Zhu Bai was actually only six years older than Yun Wen. He had been living in the capital before his death and had a close relationship.
Of course, he was even happier after seeing those things that were now very important to him when he arrived at Hanzhou Continent with Yun Wen.
Yunzhen stayed in Jinchuan City for more than ten days before he asked for it. Zhu Bai had already looked around his fiefdom clearly and knew that there was no place suitable for him, so he told him that the fiefdom was in the south. Zhu Zhen
Yun Wen then went to Xuanyang City (Mexico City). Because of the reasons he just mentioned, Zhu Bai also came with him.
After hearing Zhu Bai's words, Zhu Zhen didn't say anything more, but invited them to go into the city to rest. It was already November, and the weather was a bit cold. After standing on the dock for a while, everyone felt chilly, so they hurriedly put on their clothes again.
Put on a coat and follow Zhu Zhen to the city.
Zhu Zhen and Yun Wen had not seen each other for a long time, and Zhu Bai had not seen each other for several months. Naturally, they would not talk about anything serious that night. Zhu Zhen hosted a banquet for them; the next day was similar.
Two days later, Zhu Zhen had just gotten up and had a boxing session early in the morning. Before he had eaten breakfast, he heard a report from a servant: "Your Highness, your two Highnesses would like to see you."
After hearing this, Zhu Zhen hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare another meal for two people, and walked to the main entrance of the mansion to greet them.
However, although the palace he lived in was also a palace, it was far from his palace in the Central Plains. There were only two courtyards in total, and the house was very simple. Although it was strong and sheltered from the wind, it had no decoration at all. When he heard the general announcement, Zhu
Bai and Yunwen had already entered the mansion, and he saw them just as he walked to the second gate of the front and rear courtyards.
After the three of them called each other, Zhu Zhen led them into the house and said, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet." Zhu Bai said with a smile: "Sixth brother, your chef was brought from the Central Plains. The food he cooks is very delicious, much better than my brother's. I heard that he was also brought here this time."
Jin Gecheng, I want to try his cooking again."
"It's easy to talk about." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.
The three of them came to the dining hall, and soon the chef also brought two other breakfasts. The three of them made some concessions and chatted while eating.
After dinner, the three of them came to the living room and chatted for a while. Yun Wen said directly: "Uncle Liu, my nephew has been living idle in Jinge City for three days. Should we discuss where to seal my nephew? Even if
If it's not suitable now, just seal it, and let's discuss it first."
"Why, are you so anxious to seal it?" Zhu Zhen joked.
"Sixth uncle, twelfth uncle, my nephew came to Hanzhou Continent to civilize the barbarians and savages here. The sooner they are sealed, the sooner my nephew can start to civilize them, and the sooner they can get
Enlightenment, escape from ignorance. In order to free the barbarians and savages here from ignorance as soon as possible, my nephew wants to become a vassal as soon as possible." Yun Wen said seriously.
Zhu Zhen looked at Yunwen's very serious face and couldn't say anything he was going to joke about. He sighed in his heart and said seriously to Yunwen: "Since you are so willing to educate the local people, uncle will talk to you now."
After you discuss it, you can seal the place."
He immediately ordered his servants to bring him a map of the fiefdom and surrounding areas drawn by himself (roughly equivalent to the current map of Mexico). Zhu Zhen took the map from the servant and placed it on the table, pointing to a map to the east of his fiefdom.
Chuquan said: "This place, my uncle thinks, is suitable for you to use as a fiefdom for Yunzhen."
"Here?" Zhu Yunwen muttered while looking at the map. He saw that the place Zhu Zhen pointed to was thousands of miles east of Xuanyang City. On the map, hundreds of miles east of Xuanyang City was marked as the ocean, and the land was here.
After turning in a circle and walking straight east from Xuanyang City to the seaside, the coastline slanted to the southeast, but after hundreds of miles, it turned to extend to the northeast. However, the coastline there is a dotted line.
What it represents is probably uncertain. The place Zhu Zhen pointed to is surrounded by dotted lines.
"I have carefully asked the barbarians in the Valley of Mexico. Yunwen, do you know where the Valley of Mexico is? It is the valley around Xuanyang City. In the place I am referring to, there is also a civilized nation, which they call Maya.
The civilization level of the people is about the same as that of the Aztecs and Toltecs in the Valley of Mexico. They also believe in gods, and even the gods they believe in are the same. I think the civilizations of these peoples should come from the same source.
."
"This place, according to the Toltecs who took refuge with me, is a peninsula, called the Yucatan Peninsula. It is surrounded by the ocean on three sides: west, north, and east. Only the south and southwest are connected to other land. This place
The terrain is flat and the climate is suitable, making it very suitable for life."
"The most important city is called Mayapan, which is the center of all the countries on the peninsula. All countries on the peninsula discuss matters with each other in this city. It is now ruled by a family named Kokom."
"As for the population, according to the Toltecs who have been to the Yucatan Peninsula, the population is about two to three hundred thousand, but this is only a rough estimate, and the Toltecs who have been there will not specifically count it.
I haven't had time to send people to investigate how many people there are in the local area, so I don't know how many people there are. But it shouldn't exceed 300,000..." Zhu Zhen introduced very seriously.
"As for the force, it should be very weak." Zhu Zhen finally introduced the local force. He smiled and said: "Yunwen, I don't know if my twelfth brother has told you that the people here in Hanzhou Continent are...
The ability to fight with soldiers is really weak to the point of ridicule. They don't have copper, iron or horses. What's even more incredible is that they don't even have bows and arrows! The only projectile weapons are short spears, and they don't know how to form a formation.
And fighting, when you go to the battlefield, is to swarm up and then fight with your own bravery. This style of fighting is the level of the Central Plains civil uprising, and it is the kind of civil uprising that will be suppressed by the government officials soon after it rises, even the army
No need to move out."
"I'm talking about the Toltecs and Aztecs in the Valley of Mexico. According to the Aztecs who came to me, the Mayans in the Yucatan Peninsula are even weaker in force than the Toltecs.
Or the Aztecs always lost more than they won in wars, so there was no need to worry about whether they could conquer this place. As long as they took thousands of soldiers to go there, the local Mayans would have no choice but to surrender."
Yun Wen listened to Zhu Zhen's introduction very seriously. After hearing what he said, he raised his head and said, "Sixth Uncle, my nephew thinks that since we want to civilize these barbarians and barbarians in Hanzhou Continent, we still need to use weapons."
Use less. Even if you use weapons to make them submit, they will only be dissatisfied. Only by educating them and letting them learn the culture of the Central Plains can they truly be willing to obey the rule from the bottom of their hearts."
"You are right." What Yun Wen said is of course correct, but "but if we don't use weapons to make them surrender, how can we make them accept education? The people of Hanzhou Continent are very barbaric, and those savages
Needless to say, even the civilized Toltecs and Aztecs were very barbaric. Blood sacrifices were popular here, and the Aztecs had to kill people for every blood sacrifice; the Toltecs
People rarely kill people, but they do bleed, and some people die from bleeding too much. The Mayans seem to be the same. If there are no weapons to clear the way, a stranger who comes to their place will definitely be captured and used as a sacrifice.
.There is no time to teach him." Zhu Zhen said.
"Yunwen, your sixth uncle is right. You haven't been to a land with many barbarians before. You probably don't know. With barbarians or barbarians, you can only use swords to make them obey, and then you can civilize them. The barbarians around the Central Plains are not the same.
Is this the case? When my father first sent envoys to the barbarian tribes, some of them were killed. After my father sent troops to destroy this tribe that refused to accept the king's rule, other surrounding tribes obeyed the court's advice and accepted enlightenment." Zhu Bai
also said.
"Sixth uncle, twelfth uncle," Zhu Yunwen said hurriedly: "My nephew is not saying that he does not use weapons, but that he uses less weapons. All he needs to do is to let the barbarians know that the soldiers of tomorrow are definitely not something they can deal with, and they dare not invade.
."
"You should consider this yourself. It is of little use for us to talk about such things. You will know how to do it yourself after becoming a vassal." Zhu Zhen said this, and then asked: "Yun
"Chen, is there anything unclear or unclear about what uncle just said?"
Yun Wen shook his head. "Uncle Liu, what you said is very clear. As for the rest, I have to go to the local area and see with my own eyes to know."
"Yes, seeing is believing and hearing is believing. My uncle will take you to the Valley of Mexico first so that you can see with your own eyes the civilization of the Toltecs and Aztecs, whose civilization is similar to that of the Mayans. Then he will send someone to learn more about it.
Explore the situation in the Yucatan Peninsula, and then decide how to make the local Maya people surrender and how to civilize them."
"If you need your twelfth uncle's help, just ask, and your twelfth uncle will never refuse," Zhu Bai said.
"Thank you Uncle Six and Uncle Twelve," Yun Wen saluted.
He picked up the map and looked at it again, and something suddenly occurred to him. He was about to ask when he heard Zhu Zhen say: "I almost forgot. Yunwen, since His Majesty has also sealed you to the Hanzhou Continent, has he changed your title?"
What is the current ban?"
"King Bo." Yunwen replied: "When Shang Tang destroyed Xia, the capital was in Bo (today's Shangqiu, Henan Province). Later, the capital was moved several times. It was only when Wu Ding was in power that the capital was moved to Yin. Your Majesty said that since the Han continent was recognized
The barbarians were after Youhou Xi of the Shang Dynasty conquered the east, so the title was best related to the Shang Dynasty. But there are only a few words related to the Shang Dynasty, and since Bo was the name of the first capital city of the Shang Dynasty, it would be a good idea to use the title as a metaphor.
So I decided to call it Bo."
