Chapter 864: Alliance (Part 1)

Chen Si ordered people to distribute the guests according to the number of guests. The overseas Chinese took it and looked at it. Then they opened the cover and saw that there were two lines of eye-catching words written in regular script on the title page, "The person holding this passport is a Daming citizen xxx. Please take care of and protect the military and political yamen of various countries." Then the first page is the identity document. Everyone held it in their hands, with their respective personal information such as their name, origin, age, gender, etc. issued by the Ming Ministry of Revenue, guaranteed by the Administration Department of the Household Registration, and the validity period of the passport, etc. Turning to the second page, it is the time of departure, the reason, the country that they have been transferred after leaving the country, and then they realized that they had to ask for detailed information from each person, not only to check the details, but also to give them this identity certificate!

When they turned to the back cover, they all burst into tears and couldn't do it themselves, because there was a text that made everyone unforgettable: "Please remember that you are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. No matter where you are, when you encounter injustice and harm, you can ask for help from the nearest Ming military and political yamen! The motherland will always be your strongest backing!"

No need to say anything, and looked at them silently and smiled.

After a brief silence, I don’t know who started shouting first, and then everyone shouted excitedly: “Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the motherland!”

If the Chinese donated military rations before, they only started from the perspective of self-interest, but now, after seeing this small passport and the heavy promises on it, a patriotic sentiment that integrates with the blood of the motherland, "Life is a Ming Dynasty person, and death is a ghost of the Ming Dynasty" has been stirred up in the hearts of these overseas heroes who have been away from home for many years. Just like a child who has been away from home for many years, finally returned to his mother's arms, just like a child who has been bullied since childhood, finally received the protection of his father, each of whom she cried in tears, and even cried in tears.

The overseas Chinese have been scheming and will always return to the Ming Dynasty.

The banquet ended until very late. The rich men who were calm and self-sustaining on weekdays were all drunk, without exception. Silent ordered people to help them to rest in the room they had prepared early. I believe everyone will have a good dream tonight.

With such an exciting atmosphere, Chen Si naturally drank a lot. Even Wu Baipeng, who joined in later, was half drunk and sat there with his body tilted, just looking at the big thumbs-up of the Silence Tree: "With a small notebook, you can attract the hearts of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. And I believe that they will be more patriotic and taller than their local people, and it is really tall!"

Silently wiped his hot face with a wet wipe, poured sober soup for Wu Baipeng, and drank a big bowl himself, and said leisurely: "It's just to make trouble. In the past, the imperial court strictly controlled household registration, and the people left their hometown for a hundred miles, so they needed the government to issue clearance routes. As for going abroad to the sea, they were strictly prohibited. But what? People's hearts are like water, and the people are moving like smoke! The refugees in the north are like grass, fleeing the country; the Fujian, Guangdong and other people in the south have even traveled across the ocean and moved to the South Ocean to spend their lives. The government did not think of ways to make the people live and work in peace and make a comeback, but always wanted ways to persecute those miserable people who left their hometown. This is to regard the people as enemies, and the people naturally treat them as enemies!"

"Yes, the people are not crops in the fields. They have feet and thoughts. If they cannot survive their hometowns, they will naturally choose to migrate. It is impossible to block them!" Wu Baipeng nodded. He has been in Guangdong for many years and was most touched by this point. He said: "It is better to lose them than to block them. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese people live in Nanyang. These people are smart, hardworking and persevering. In just a few decades, they have mastered more than half of the land and wealth in Nanyang. Why should we keep them out of the country!"

"Yes, we must change our concepts." Chen Shu nodded and said: "In the past, the imperial court always believed that after the people went abroad, the loss of population would shake the foundation of their rule. But in fact, when the people left China, they were still descendants of Yan and Huang. Why don't we change the perspective and think that 'Everywhere the Chinese go is China'?"

"What a Chinese wherever they go is China!" Wu Baipeng praised: "If we want Nanyang to be a barrier of the Ming Dynasty forever, relying solely on force and skills is not enough. We also have to rely on these overseas Chinese! With their support, we are like uncles who have roots to stand up in the land of Nanyang for a long time!"

"I said it very well." Chen Mo also flattered him: "I didn't misunderstand it. The first Nanyang Manager is indeed you!"

"I am afraid." Wu Baipeng smiled. He was becoming more and more interested in his new errands. He took out the envelope from his sleeve and said, "This is what Zheng Song gave to us."

He glanced silently and smiled faintly, "150,000 taels, this guy is quite courageous," and said, bounced back to Wu Baipeng and said, "Take it to reward the soldiers and let them show the prestige of the court."

"Yes," Wu Baipeng put away the envelope again and said softly: "Sir, the officials will set out tomorrow. What are your instructions?"

"Brother Yaoshan is a person who can take on major issues, I feel relieved." Silently smiled, "But there are a few words that I have to talk about."

"Sir, please give me advice." Wu Baipeng said seriously.

"You must remember that you are the Nanyang Strategic Manager and must always stand at the height of the overall situation." Chen Si said seriously: "So you must figure out the relationship between us and the Nanyang countries, what goals we want to achieve in Nanyang, and who is our real enemy?"

Wu Baipeng nodded and continued to listen to the silent silence: "First of all, these countries have always been vassals of China, but since Xuande, the Ming Dynasty has never shown its military power in this area, so it is inevitable that it is not so respectful. Zheng Kaiyang said, "They "listen to the seal or not" and I feel a little bit past. They are just frogs in the well who are arrogant and think they are very powerful. So you must fight beautifully at this stop, don't be afraid of killing too many people, and have to kill the deterrent effect. Not only to Annan, but also to all Southeast Asian countries. If anyone is disobedient, this is their end!"

Hearing silent murderous words, Wu Baipeng shuddered. This was not the familiar Master Chen Ge.

"However, if you want these countries to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, it is not enough to just kill people." The silent tone was a little slow, and slowly said: "During the Chengzu period, Annan became a province of the Ming Dynasty, but why did he give up later? I think there are three reasons. First, the court did not get enough benefits from it, but instead took a heavy burden. Therefore, it was believed that occupying this place was a disaster for the real and true, so naturally it would not cherish it. Second, it was too careless when appointing officials, and then neglected supervision. As a result, the rule here was dark and the people were lost; Third, the proportion of Chinese people was too small, so the foundation of the rule was shallow, just like the Mongol Yuan in the past, when something happened, it was very passive. These lessons must be learned."

Wu Baipeng took the paper and wrote down every sentence that Chen Shu said.

"But before thinking about how to treat these countries, you must remember this premise without management or understanding." Silently said: "Our real enemies in Nanyang are actually not Myanmar and Annan, the so-called great powers, have always been vassals of the Ming Dynasty, and they do not have the courage to openly fight against the court. Our real enemies are the Flangji people, the Spaniards, and the future Dutch people, the British and the European powers, who are now fighting for hegemony, but will appear one after another in the future to compete with us for control of Nanyang!"

Silence was a little overwhelmed. As one of the first Ming officials to look at the world, Wu Baipeng already knew European countries very well. Since he learned that Spain and Folangji occupied the world, he never dared to underestimate the Western barbarians again.

"You must remember that these Southeast Asian countries are not our enemies, but our vassals, and natural subordinates of the Ming Dynasty. Even if we do not manage them, we will be neutral when we fight against Europeans in the future. But if we use troops at will, or if we do not manage them properly in the future, such as oppressing their princes, nobles or the people too much, they will push them to a hostile position and give Western powers an opportunity to take advantage of them. Never do such stupid things as the pain of their relatives and the aggrieved enemies." As he said that, he took a sip of strong tea: "So, don't treat these countries as a major concern, but treat them as their territory. In this way, when fighting with the great powers in the future, Southeast Asian countries will become our stable rear."

"For this purpose, you should follow three principles." Silence raised three fingers and said: "First, the Ming army only safeguards the interests of the Ming Dynasty and does not participate in the struggles within the country, because it will cause disgust among all countries; Second, garrisons in the South China Sea are not decorations, but every battle must be famous. Before going to war, you should first join the princes to declare the reasons for the war, and then ask them to send troops to follow, even if it is just symbolic, which can prevent us from being isolated; Third, any means that are conducive to our long-term rule here are good methods, don't take it into consideration, but it doesn't matter. For example, opening Chinese schools in various places, recruiting soldiers among local youths with high salaries, urging officers and soldiers and overseas Chinese to take over local wives and concubines, and give birth to more children, etc. "

Wu Baipeng was originally very serious about taking notes. When he heard the last sentence of silence, his hand trembled and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Is it a national policy to find more women in South China?"

"Don't laugh," Chen said with a serious expression: "If you are not a race, your heart will be different. Only if you keep the blood of the Ming Dynasty in your body will you be devoted to the Ming Dynasty! Although there are more than 700,000 overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, I believe it will soon exceed one million, but compared with 20 to 30 million locals, there are still too few and too few. However, immigration from China will attract opposition from the court and local areas, and the indigenous people in Southeast Asia will also reject it. It is not easy to integrate it. But if we give birth to children with local women, he will definitely be proud of his Chinese bloodline. Not only this child, but even his mother can become a Ming people and enjoy all the treatment of overseas Chinese. And as long as you return to your ancestral home, you can officially be registered as a Ming household registration and even participate in the domestic imperial examination."

"In this way, just having one child can add two Chinese people to Nanyang, and their mother tribes will be closer to the Ming Dynasty. There will be closer connections between Chinese and locals, and between South China and China! This is much more effective than immigration!" After saying so much in one breath, he drank a sip of water silently, looking at Wu Baipeng, who was stunned and said, "First of all, you have to take the lead in doing this. Although Nanyang women are light-black, they are not as fair as Middle-earth women, but their bodies are graceful, pretty faces, hot personalities, bright eyes and favorable eyes, which are incomparable to the Ming Dynasty women. Although you are a little older, you have practiced martial arts all year round and have deep internal strength, so you can barely take a ten or eight-bedroom house."

"Puff" Wu Baipeng vomited blood and said, "Sir, are you asking me to grind my iron rod into a needle." He said angrily: "If you talk about taking the lead, you, the governor, should set an example."

"This is it?" Silent smiled bitterly: "My family has always been sad that my affairs in Hetao have not yet been settled, so how dare I add new debts?"

"Since that's the case," he said so, Wu Baipeng had to stop companioning, "Just let it be hard for you." The soldiers are very fast, and the army advances quickly. The 30,000 Ming army, led by Zheng Song's 30,000 Mo Chao army, plus the 40,000 civilians recruited, was known as the 100,000 Northern Expedition Army.

At this time, the news that the Ming army landed in Da Nang and helped the Southern and Northern Expeditions spread throughout the Southeast Peninsula. The situation in Annan suddenly changed. It was no longer the way that Mo Chao was in the sight of victory and the civil and military officials of the Li Dynasty surrendered. Before the army advanced, many officials who had rebelled before secretly sent people to come over, expressing their willingness to return at any time and help the heavenly soldiers to attack the Northern Dynasties.

Even several countries such as Myanmar expressed their willingness to send troops to help and eliminate the reactionary forces of the Northern Dynasties as soon as possible.

Seeing that the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable, Mo Gong was naturally worried, but unification is right in front of him and he is unwilling to give up the good situation. Finally, after a fierce quarrel, he decided to give it a try. In their words, we have more than 100,000 troops and have an advantage in numbers, so how can we surrender without fighting?

So he also prepared for the final resistance. King Qian Mo Jingdian ordered the soldiers and civilians of the four towns to build a three-layer building outside Daluo City, starting from Rizhao crossing West Lake, passing through the Coconut Bridge to Qingchi, and pressing northwest of Qihe River. The tower was several feet taller than Shenglong City, twenty feet wider, and stubborn three-layer moat. They all had bamboo and wood, and extended for dozens of miles, as a plague. At the same time, they sent general Ruan Juan to the commander of the commander of the four towns to fight with the Li army at Anmojie.

Zheng Song commanded the Li army to pretend to retreat and led the Mo army to the ambush of the Ming army. More than a thousand people were beheaded and more than 600 were captured, and retreated in a panic.
