Many local lords came to pay homage to the new king, and it was a routine matter for them.
Change of king?
Okay, let's go pay our respects and then come back and continue living our lives.
As long as they don't push the local lords too hard, these guys don't care who is the king. This has been the tradition for thousands of years.
The Ananda Kingdom that was wiped out by the Tianzhu Cotton Society is very interesting. Its formation was purely due to external pressure. At that time, the power of the Green Religion swept across India, but the local lords were still patient and even converted to the Green Religion for their own benefit.
The macho man from the sky appeared, and two of them appeared at once.
Two exiled Hindu princes, who worshiped Hindu monks as their disciples, deceived and accumulated followers along the way, and gradually raised an army to restore the country. They held high the banner of "Expelling the Green Religion and Restoring India" and fought several victorious battles in succession. The surrounding local lords began to fight.
After surrendering, many green lords jumped back to Hinduism.
In this way, the lords and commoners who did not like the Green Religion gathered under the banner of the two princes and established a country in a manner similar to the "Hindu Alliance". They almost unified South India and became the largest state in the entire India.
Only by fighting religious wars can these guys explode into combat effectiveness.
Let’s look at how many Indians were forced to death and starved to death during the British colonization of India for hundreds of years. As a result, the most intense resistance struggle in India was actually caused by the British greased paper bullets.
It's okay to apply oil, it can prevent the gunpowder from getting wet.
But you shouldn’t apply butter and lard, and distribute bullets to the servants. The Green Religion soldiers received lard bullets, and the Hindu soldiers received butter bullets. When filling the ammunition, they must bite it open with their teeth. What should the soldiers of the two religions do?
Maybe you can bear it?
You can beat me, you can kill me, you can starve to death, but you can't insult me like this!
As a result, the Indian Revolt broke out.
Of course, the oiled bullets were only a fuse, and they were also rumors spread deliberately. Due to the dissatisfaction of a large number of soldiers, the British had replaced new bullets with waxed paper bullets.
The problem is, the Indian soldiers don’t believe it!
As for the real reason for the uprising, the British did not recruit troops according to caste, and a large number of untouchables and lower castes became servants. This led to strong dissatisfaction among the upper castes.
But the upper castes still tolerated it. What else can they do besides being dissatisfied?
The British are still continuing their dirty tricks. They bring their servant troops to fight, and it is a long-distance military operation. Not only are the soldiers paid very low wages, but they also have to bear their own travel expenses and luggage freight. This is equivalent to Indian soldiers helping the British fight the war.
You also have to bring your own transportation, and even a change of clothes has to be paid for shipping.
The Indian soldiers could tolerate such nonsense, and there was no mutiny until the expedition was successful.
The British won the war and occupied a large area of Punjab. Those servant armies were of little use. Then the original privileges of the servant army were cancelled, and the salary of the servant army was continued to be reduced. By the way, the position of Indian soldiers could not exceed that of sergeant. The new military camp also
If you are too lazy to repair it, let the Indian soldiers stay in simple tents.
Good guy, not only are wages deducted and rewarded privileges taken back, but the promotion channels of Indian soldiers are directly blocked, and the soldiers' barracks are not even bothered to be built.
So the Indian soldiers started making trouble. Their way of making trouble was very unique. They actually refused to receive greased bullets.
The British actually did this, and all new bullets were waxed.
But it was impossible to throw away the old bullets, they had to continue to be used. The Indian soldiers finally exploded.
Seeing this, the upper castes in India immediately came out to incite, and an uprising involving more than 200,000 people broke out.
What's even more ridiculous is that most Indian lords actually sided with the British, even though they were extorted miserably by the British...
Facing such a strange nation, Wang Yuan is lucky, he can easily secure his position as king.
At the same time, Wang Yuan had a huge headache. What would a citizen like him do?
If one day we encounter a foreign invasion, the lords and people here will surrender faster than the other.
Wang Yuan hosted more than 20 lords happily, and he was amiable and approachable. He also asked the lords to report their population and land truthfully.
The lords were filled with joy and felt that the king was easy to fool, so they happily returned to their respective territories.
"Your Majesty, there is another nobleman from Tianzhu asking to see you, and this man can also speak Chinese."
"Bring him in."
Kapati walked in with a bow, straightened his clothes, and in a very standard posture, he knelt on the ground and paid homage to Wang Yuan: "Your Majesty, Kapati Deva, pay homage to His Majesty the King!"
Wang Yuan finally became interested and asked: "Been to the Ming Dynasty?"
Kapati replied: "I studied hard at the Imperial Academy in Beijing for five years, and also lived in Nanjing, Hangzhou and Guangzhou for a few months. I have admired Your Majesty for a long time. When I heard that Your Majesty was awarded the title of Tianzhu, I couldn't help but be happy and couldn't sleep all night. , I can’t wait to follow His Majesty right away.”
Wang Yuan nodded in approval: "You are serious about it."
Kapati added: "I also brought a gift to His Majesty during this visit."
Wang Yuan said: "Bring it up."
The guards brought in three large boxes. Karpati pointed at the box and said, "Your Majesty, Krishna City and surrounding land, military registers, household registers and land registers are all in the box."
Wang Yuan finally laughed: "It seems that you really learned some skills in Ming Dynasty."
Kapati said: "I and my father are willing to hand over the army, land and population, and request to serve as an official in the capital to serve His Majesty."
Wang Yuan said: "Since you father and son have sincerely attached themselves to me, I will never benefit from you."
Kapati continued to claim credit: "Your Majesty, Krishna City is different from other places. The old nobles no longer exist. The biggest landowner there is my father, followed by the military generals, and finally the ordinary soldiers."
"How much land does your father have?" Wang Yuan asked.
Kapati replied: "More than three hundred thousand acres."
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "I recognize all these lands, but you must pay taxes according to regulations."
Kapati said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
What does it mean?
Kapati's father and the army were not locals of Krishna. They were forced by the Tianzhu Cotton Society to occupy the city, and they had to solve problems of military rations and morale, so they raised their butcher's knives against the local nobles.
They killed all the big landowners in the area, robbed them of land, property, and women, and distributed them to officers and soldiers.
The old order has been broken, and now there are strategies. As long as Wang Yuan sends officials there, management and taxation can be carried out smoothly, and the administrative system is very convenient to set up.
Of course, the household registration book presented by Kapati only contains upper castes and lower castes.
As for the untouchables, they are not considered human beings at all, so they are naturally not eligible to establish a household registration.
Wang Yuan planned to reuse these two father and son, not only buying horse bones with thousands of dollars, but also believing that they were talents.
Most of the Indian and European aristocrats during this period were too lazy to draw up registers, and did not even know how many people were in their territory. A tenant rent book could be passed down as a family heirloom for several generations, and they did not bother to revise it in the meantime. It's enough to collect it roughly. It's the tax collectors at the grassroots level who really do it, exploiting it vigorously, and then hand over the tax amount to the lord, and put the rest into their own pockets.
Kapati's father was able to draw up complete military registers, household registers and land surveys. In terms of ability and vision, he already ranked 99% of the Indian aristocrats.
Seeing that Wang Yuan was really happy, Kapati hit the snake and said with a stick: "Your Majesty, I have a sister who is fourteen years old. She is beautiful and graceful. I dare not offer her to your Majesty as your concubine. I only want to be a cleaning maid."
Wang Yuan had already inquired about the history of the Ananda Kingdom. It was the king's brother-in-law who caused trouble when there were two consecutive changes of dynasties.
These Tianzhu nobles seem to like being relatives.
Wang Yuan was unwilling to accept it and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I have a son of a minister who is not yet married and is about the same age. How about I be the elder of the month?"
Kapati felt a little regretful, but not completely disappointed.
Although my sister cannot marry the king, she can still marry the son of a minister. This political marriage deal should not be a loss.
Wang Yuan suddenly asked: "Would you like to be a Han Chinese?"
Kapati was stunned for a moment: "I don't understand, please speak clearly, Your Majesty."
Wang Yuan said: "In the country of Tianzhu, only Han people can be the chief officials of the central government. As for the local nobles, using the official position of the Ming Dynasty as an analogy, they are not even qualified to be doctors of the six tribes."
Kapati advised: "Although your Majesty is a Han Chinese, you must not exclude foreigners, otherwise it will be difficult to govern Tianzhu."
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "You can become a high official if you become a Han."
Kapati said vaguely: "Can this also be changed?"
Wang Yuan said: "If you can speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and are willing to naturalize, you can become a Han citizen. Are you willing?"
Capa asked: "If I am a Han Chinese, can I still believe in Hinduism?"
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Freedom of belief."
Kapati was overjoyed and knelt down again: "I am willing to serve the Han people!"
Wang Yuan said: "Then I will give you a national surname."
"Write His Majesty's grace!" Kapati became even more excited.
The surnames here can be stacked, just like stacking buffs in games.
For example, in the last Ananda dynasty, relatives usurped power.
The maternal surname is "Deva" and the royal surname is "Raya".
The maternal relative changed her surname to "Deva Raya" and thus had the right to inherit the throne.
Kapati's full name is "Kapati Deva". He is from the same family as the previous king, but he is not a member of the royal family. Now that Wang Yuan has given him a surname, he can be called "Kapati Deva King" in the future and can call himself
He is a peripheral member of the royal family.
The first officially recognized naturalized Han in Tianzhu was born, and Kapati was destined to leave his name in history.
