"Your Majesty, the minister came to the Sulu Islands by chance when he was surrendered to the Spanish. They were frightened by the Western Demon's lewdness, coupled with the domestic culture of advocating Daming, so they voluntarily asked to join the Daming." Zheng Zhilong got him along with Yehaba Mara. The experience has always been Zhu Youjian Dao Ming.
"Does Sulu really speak Chinese?" This is what Zhu Youjian is most interested in. It is incredible that a country that has not had contact with Daming for a long time actually speaks Chinese.
"Your Majesty, if not all of them, they are the majority. The ministers have stayed in Sulu for a day. There are definitely not a few people who can speak Chinese." Zheng Zhilong was also surprised at the time, but he had already passed this new period, and he was waiting. Following Zhu Youjian's decision, "Your Majesty, will Daming accept Sulu?"
Zhu Youjian thought silently for a long time. He did not respond directly to Zheng Zhilong, but instead asked: "Zheng Aiqing, this is also Habamara, are you sincerely willing to submit to Daming?"
"Your Majesty, surrender should be true. Habamara brought his princess, prince, and important officials to Daming together. He even brought a lot of luggage. Obviously, he is not going to go back." Zheng Zhilong again. I told Zhu Youqian about Haba Mara's expectations at the seaside and the excitement when he first saw the land of the Ming Dynasty.
"Ao, Zheng Aiqing, what are the customs and customs of the Sulu country?" Zhu Youjian still did not decide.
"Your Majesty, Sulu admires Daming's culture throughout the country. If Daming accepts them, it should be a matter of course." Zheng Zhilong feels that Zhu Youjian today is uncharacteristically. He doesn't like the land and population that others have sent. Is it true? Because Sulu is too young
Why didn't Zhu Youzhen want to accept Sulu
This is the first country that voluntarily asks for integration into Ming Dynasty. If they accept them, Zhu Youjian is prepared to give Habamara higher political treatment, hoping to form a chain reaction. In the future, the country that actively submits to Ming Dynasty will be more More and more.
Zhu Youjian does not pursue the maximization of the country’s territory. Now the transportation and communications are underdeveloped. If the territory is too large, it will be too difficult to manage, or it will cause the country to split, just like the once impossible Mongol Empire, but a hundred years , It was split into countless small countries and tribes. Not only did the Mongols fight endlessly inside, they were also often bullied by other countries. A large number of Genghis Khan’s descendants had been living in a bloody wind.
What he wants to pursue is a strategic place for later generations.
Zhu Youjian is ready to take advantage of the land that will be of strategic significance to Daming in future generations and take them into his own hands step by step in an era when there is no United Nations.
For example, the energy base of Siberia, the Indian Ocean estuary Myanmar, the Pacific estuary Taiwan and Ryukyu, the East-West trade hub of Melaka, the South China Sea coast of Luzon and Annan, Tibet's west export Ladakh, the source of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River Yuchang Province, and so on.
Some of these strategic locations are already in Da Ming's grasp, some are in their own plans, and some are Da Ming's mid- and long-term goals.
Although the Sulu Kingdom does not have an absolute strategic position, it is close to Luzon Province, easy to manage, and can set a model for other small countries.
The real reason why Zhu Youjian was not too enthusiastic about Sulu was the religion of the Sulu Kingdom.
Although the ****** sect preaches "submission and peace," it is the least easily assimilated among all the well-known sects in the world. It has developed into a religious, cultural, and political force.
Mohammed revived fundamentalism, which itself was a bloody process. Since then, the place where the *** cults gather is often a hotbed of terrorism. In the history of later generations,****** Fundamentalists have become synonymous with terror and blood.
Although this is directly related to the bullying of the Communist country once suffered by major powers, the terrorist activities themselves have threatened the normal lives of innocent people, disrupted the social order, and harmed the entire world.
As a powerful country, Daming naturally does not want the *** religion that promotes terrorist activities to blossom and take root in the country.
"Zheng Aiqing, whether or not to accept Sulu country, I will first meet with Yahabamara, and then make a decision."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has completed his report, and he will leave first."
"When does Zheng Aiqing plan to return to Nanyang?"
"His Majesty, the minister is waiting for Tabora, and there are thousands of Spanish prisoners detained in the Xiamen port. The minister does not know how to deal with these Spanish people."
"I see, you can withdraw first."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zheng Zhilong slowly withdrew from the Palace of Qing Dynasty.
After Zheng Zhilong left, Zhu Youjian felt a little tired, especially regarding whether to accept the Sulu Kingdom. He could not make up his mind for the time being. He felt a little irritable, so he slept on the dragon bed for a while.
When the eunuchs and palace ladies saw Zhu Youjian got on the dragon bed, they quickly raised the charcoal brazier to make the hall warmer.
Zhu Youjian fell asleep in a daze.
Somehow, he was in a modern metropolis, standing in front of a pistol-shaped tall building.
In addition to the green belt in front of the high-rise building, there is a large marble open space. There are countless luxury cars parked in the open space. The private car drivers who get in and out of the car are talking and laughing. Probably none of them have the troubles like Zhu Youjian.
A pair of handsome men and women who looked like couples hugged each other immediately after coming out of a stretched dash. The woman's white skirt was short, her head leaning against the man's right shoulder, endlessly lingering.
Zhu Youjian is envious of the students.
He has no shortage of women. There are young and beautiful ladies in the palace. What he lacks is leisure time.
Suddenly, a young man with long hair and shawl quickly approached the couple from the outside. His eyes widened and his eyes were cracking. While unbuttoning his upper body, he pounced on the innocent couple.
"Not good." Zhu Youjian found a row of bombs tied to the boy's body. He immediately realized that this was a human bomb. Zhu Youjian wanted to shout out to remind the young couple, but just opened his mouth. There was no sound.
The young couple also found a human bomb, and they wanted to avoid it.
It was too late, the boy had already pressed the remote control.
"Boom..."
With a loud noise, the smoke screen immediately engulfed the couple and the juvenile human bomb.
Zhu Youzhen was startled and uncertain, and suddenly a short stick more than half a meter long flew towards him. He subconsciously performed magic skills silently, stretched out his right hand to block, and held the short stick in his hand.
What he grabbed was a "short stick", a slender leg.
The long legs were cut to the roots, and they couldn't be grasped. The white and tender skin was already covered with red blood, and the blood was not yet dry. It was sliding along the tender and white skin to Zhu Youjian's right hand.
"Wow… "
Zhu Youxian spit out a puddle of filth.
"Your Majesty..." The maids awakened Zhu Youjian.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Youjian felt that his eyelids were a little heavy, and he stared suddenly before opening his eyes completely.
"Your Majesty has a nightmare?"
"Nightmare?" Zhu Youzhen rubbed his temples, only then remembered the dream state just now, "Oh, it may be."
"Your Majesty..."
"You go down first, I want to rest for a while."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace ladies gently backed away, closing the palace door with their hands.
Zhu Youzhen and Yi leaned against the bedside, recalling the dream just now, his slender legs seemed to be still shaking in front of his eyes, "Is it another terrorist incident? Is it another terrorist extremist at work?"
He thought of the Sulu Kingdom that was waiting to be resolved, "Do you want to accept it?"
Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and finally got an idea.
The ****** teaching has blossomed around Daming, even if he does not want Sulu, he is destined to avoid the ** teaching.
Instead of avoiding like a plague god, it is better to take the initiative to reform.
The Sulu Kingdom can join the Ming Dynasty, but must abandon the Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty and switch to the Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty.
Sulu’s subjects can leave the island in batches, gather in the interior, and be secretly supervised by Jin Yiwei, and are not allowed to believe in or spread the religion.
Zhu Youjian doesn't believe it anymore. With the large population of Ming Dynasty and the more advanced technology and culture, can he not assimilate such a few believers
After clarifying his thoughts, Zhu Youjian summoned Yehabmara in the afternoon.
"See His Majesty the Emperor." Habamara also gave a *** ceremony, which was their national gift.
Zhu Youzhen was not pleased, "Sudan doesn't need to be polite and give a seat."
Haba Mara saw Zhu Youzhen's expression a little cold, and he was very puzzled. Is there something wrong with him? Or is Zhu Youjian unwilling to accept Sulu? But now that he has come to Zhu Youjian, he can't care for the answer for the time being, "Your Majesty, my Sulu Kingdom admires Daming's culture very much, and I am willing to join the whole country to join Daming. I wonder if His Majesty is gracious?"
"Your Excellency Sudan, on behalf of the Ming court, I very much welcome Sulu's subjects to join, but..."
Haba Mara was ecstatic when he heard the first half of the sentence. As a small country that lives on an island, it has weak national power and is often invaded by other countries, especially the Western demons with advanced firearms. In addition, they have always admired the culture of Daming and advocating the Confucianism of Daming. Putting into the arms of Daming is of course his best choice, and it is also a way out for his subjects, but Zhu Youjian’s second half of the sentence made him feel cold: "Your Majesty, you mean..."
"Sudan led all his subjects to join Daming, and I welcome it with both hands. But I believe in Confucianism, pay attention to the three principles and five constants, and respect the sages of Confucius. If Sudan joins Daming, he must abandon his original religion and convert to Confucianism, or believe in Taoism or Buddhism. But, otherwise, Allah, the God worshipped by the *** confession, will inevitably conflict with the sage Kong who believes in Daming, which will bring instability to Daming."
"This is nature. My Sulu Kingdom, since I was a king, I have always admired the culture of the Central Plains, joined Daming, and naturally respected Daming, and since then I changed to Confucianism."
"In this case, I welcome Sulu from the whole country to join the Ming Dynasty, but there is no two days and no two masters in the country. I will appoint the emperor of the duke of Sudan and give a mansion in the capital to show the grace of the heavenly emperor." Zhu Youjian's expression softened slightly, and he no longer felt cold, "I just don't know how Sudan persuades his subjects to give up the *** education?"
"Thank you for your majesty's gift," Habamara said in his heart. When the subjects joined the Ming Dynasty, it was too late to be happy. Where would they bargain? "Your Majesty can rest assured that Xiao Wang is Sudan and the religious leader of his subjects. The subjects should obey Xiao Wang's advice. Besides, they have already learned Chinese. It is not difficult for Xiao Wang to persuade him."
"This is very good. There is Lao Sudan to comfort Sulu's subjects. I will rule the world with benevolence and filial piety. I will arrange Sulu's subjects. They can continue to live on the island temporarily or move to the Central Plains in batches." Zhu The overall situation is determined by the inspection, and the details are left to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior. He has to concentrate, and Tabola has long been waiting for his summons.
