Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 202 There are so many good things!
Whether it is compared to the Qing Dynasty, or compared to the entire Ming Dynasty, Lan Fangguo can only be regarded as a big fart place, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a little transparent with no sense of existence.

However, Lan Fangguo's location is too sensitive.

Borneo, the third largest island in the world, is to the west of Malacca and Xuanweisi, the old port in the Yongle period. It is an absolute maritime hub and an excellent sea trade transit base.

If this kind of place is not controlled in his own hands, Zhu Jinsong, a traveler, probably would have no face to meet those colleagues.

Of course, some people may think that Zhu Jinsong is making a big fuss, because Lansu Kingdom was also established by Cantonese, and it is naturally close to the Central Plains, and there is no difference between canonization as a foreign vassal and direct prefecture and county rule.

However, those who have this kind of thinking can only say that the Tucson pattern is broken.

Has a certain slope approached the hall of the Central Plains yet?
If a certain slope is overseas after all, and the situation at that time was different from that of Daming now, so there is no reference value, then this incident can also refer to the history that happened in Tangkou, Central Plains.

Before giving an example directly, please think about a question: Why did Liu Bang and Zhu Chongba turn back the wheel of history, abandoning prefectures and counties and adopting the enfeoffment system?
As Mr. Lu Xun said, everything must look at the essence through the appearance——

In the world that Liu Bang gained, are the remaining nobles of the Six Kingdoms dead?Do the survivors of the Six Kingdoms still want to restore their homeland?

The world that Zhu Chongba gained was a world where the internal conflict between the North and the South was serious after the Song Dynasty and the rule of the Liao, Jin, and Mongol Yuan.

It was Yuan Haowen who wrote "Ask what is love in the world".

Have you figured it out yet?

According to the environment at that time, if the state and county system was adopted, once something happened, local officials would first report to the court, and the court would notify the local government how to deal with it after discussion. It's so cold.

Therefore, Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to adopt the enfeoffment system even if they knew that the enfeoffment system was not as good as the state and county system, because the vassal king had blood relatives with the royal family, and even if something went wrong, the meat would be rotten in the pot.

For example, the vassal kings of the Han Dynasty included Chu, Wu, Yan, Qi, Han, Lu, etc., and the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty included Qin, Jin, Zhou, Chu, Qi, Lu, Zhao, Dai, Liao, Ning, Gu, Yan, and so on. Han, Shen, An and so on.

Most of the fiefdoms of the feudal kings in the Han Dynasty were in the land of the Six Kingdoms, and most of the fiefdoms of the feudal kings in the Ming Dynasty were lost in the Song Dynasty. In the coming year, in about four generations, many people will forget the pain after their scars heal. What will it be like for more than ten generations?
Is it true that Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang's ministers of civil and military affairs who can leave their names in history books are all idiots and can't see the harm of the enfeoffment system?

Don't be ridiculous, it's really smart to think that people who leave their names in history books are not smart enough to leave comments on the Internet?

In fact, these civil and military ministers not only saw the dangers of the enfeoffment system, but also saw the benefits of the enfeoffment system——

The financial income of the vassal kings comes from their own fiefs. For their own rule and living standards, they have to spend money to govern the place. This will not only quickly win the hearts of the local people, but also reduce the pressure on the court to a certain extent.

The key is to be able to respond quickly to local problems and rebellions.

As for why Liu Yezhu and Zhu Laosi want to cut down the vassal... that is because the rule has been roughly stabilized, and the feudal system of vassal kings is no longer useful.

This is similar to the paper after wiping your butt, you have to throw it away.

As for not considering the historical environment at that time, not looking at the lands of the Han and Ming vassal kings, but accusing Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang of turning back the wheel of history when they come up, such people are either simply stupid or have bad intentions.

For example, Lanfang, Lanfang's territory is particularly suitable for enfeoffment, and the reason why Zhu Jinsong does not use enfeoffment is also very funny-Zhu Jinsong has no son yet, and both brothers are useful. It is impossible to separate them out for a while.

The foreign vassal system also does not work.

For example, the one who handed over Emperor Yongli to Wu Sangui was Daming's foreign vassal Burma, right?
Even the stick who can be called a role model among the foreign vassals, and even once regarded himself as a filial son of the Ming Dynasty, doesn't he have to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty?

Also, it was the people from the Central Plains Tangkou who made South Vietnam, but after living with the local people for a hundred years, you don’t want to admit that the Central Plains Tangkou are also their descendants, right?

Therefore, Lan Fangguo is now close to the Central Plains Hall and is willing to pay tribute to the Central Plains Hall. It does not mean that they are still willing to be close to the Central Plains Hall after decades of intermarriage with the local aborigines.

More importantly, Lan Fangguo is not actually a country in the true sense, but a commercial company disguised as a country, which is of the same nature as a joint-stock company disguised as John Bull and a chaebol pretending to steal the country.

In Zhu Jinsong's view, no matter whether Lan Fangguo wants to claim the vassal status of the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, his purpose is to protect himself with the deterrent power of the Central Plains Tangkou on the small broken ball.

Don't forget, before 1840, the Qing Dynasty had some status in the world. It was precisely because the Netherlands was concerned about the existence of the Qing Dynasty that it did not dare to invade Lanfang directly.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Zhu Jinsong rejected Lan Fang's request to become a vassal, and instead asked him to be completely attached and directly rule in the form of setting up states and counties.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jinsong simply ordered Ke Zhiming again: "Let the Tiandihui and Jinyiwei send more people to the Jiugang Propaganda Department to see if there are any descendants of the Shi family."

……

When the news that Daming refused Lan Fangguo's declaration of vassal and instead directly demanded complete enclosing and setting up prefectures and counties spread back to Lanfang Kingdom, Luo Fangbo, the first head of the Lanfang Kingdom, almost went crazy with laughter.

Completely enclosed?

Set up state and county government offices and directly garrison troops?
There is such a good thing in this world!

Originally, at the beginning, it was not that Luo Fangbo did not think about complete internal attachment. The problem was that in the 42nd year of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty had clearly rejected Lanfang's request to be attached or called a vassal. Fang country's trade.

After the failure of the last time, Luo Fangbo decided not to ask for enclave at all, but to call himself a vassal first. If he failed to call a vassal, he had to find a way to open up trade with Daming. Pi frightened the Dutch, and then slowly studied the matter of calling the domain or enclosing it.

But I never expected that when the envoy went there, he still wanted to pay tribute to the vassal or invite trade, but when he came back, he turned into an enclave!
Isn't this just when you feel hungry, a big pie falls from the sky!
What the hell?Is it cool to have no overseas titles inside?
Don't be stupid, if there are no barbarians in Borneo, and the Dutch barbarians don't stare at Lanfang Kingdom, then it would be more comfortable to call it "Gu" overseas. The problem is that there are a lot of Dansu small countries in Borneo that don't belong to each other. On the surface, these small Dansu countries all have to accept the rule of Lanfang, but in fact they go their own way. In addition, the Dutch barbarians have long wanted to annex Lanfang, and the big guys who engage in business can't do business. Daoist, how can there be comfort inside?
In order to prevent the night from having many dreams, Luo Fangbo immediately called together all the big and small leaders of Lan Fangguo: "Da Ming asked us to be completely attached, and I personally agree. What do you guys say? Who agrees? Who objected?"

As Luo Fangbo's words fell, the leaders of Lan Fangguo couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't believe their ears at all.

"Da Ming asked us to completely attach it? The Ming court wants to set up a prefecture and county here in Lanfang, and have troops come to station it?"

"Doesn't that mean that we are no different here in Borneo than we are in the Central Plains?"

"Whoever disagrees is a fool!"

"It's all over now, let's see if those Dutch barbarians dare to covet our Lanfang country!"

"..."

Looking at the excited faces of the crowd, Uncle Jiang Wu, who can be said to be both civil and military, is most valued by Luo Fangbo, and even intends to recommend him as the next chief executive, frowned and said, "Don't be too happy, big guys."

"If you want to include Da Ming, if we agree, will the monarchs and people of Dansu Kingdom agree? And those Dutch people, will they intervene in this matter? Don't forget, the Dutch East India Company used to What Batavia did."

The excited crowd fell silent again.

Just like what Jiang Wubo said, it was one thing for Ming to ask Lan Fang to be completely attached to him, but it was quite another thing whether the natives of the Dansu Kingdom would agree, or whether the Dutch barbarians would intervene.

If the Dutch barbarians jump over the wall in a hurry and attack Luo Fangguo aggressively, will Daming be willing to clash with the Dutch barbarians for Luo Fangguo?
"Abandoned people from the Celestial Dynasty will not hesitate to abandon the tomb of their ancestors and go abroad for profit, and the court will never hear about it."

This is the attitude of Qing Dynasty.

Now that it's Da Ming, what will Da Ming's attitude be?

Just when everyone was a little pessimistic and desperate, the envoy sent by Luo Fangbo to Daming said with a smile: "Those Dutch barbarians will not interfere in this matter, at least, before all the dust settles, those Dutch barbarians They dare not mess around."

Seeing that everyone turned their attention to him, the emissary went on to say: "Daming clashed with the Portuguese barbarians because of the Macau incident, and the final result was to recover Macau within one day, and build all the Portuguese barbarians entrenched in Macau. After leaving Jingguan, they forced the Portuguese barbarians to cede land and pay compensation."

"With the lessons learned from Portugal, France, England and other countries on the Europa side have friendly relations with Ming Dynasty, those Dutch barbarians must not dare to act rashly."

Luo Fangbo opened his eyes wide and asked, "One day?"

The envoy nodded and said, "That's right, it's one day. If calculated according to hours, it actually only took less than four hours."

"I went to Daming as an envoy, and I also met a lot of barbarians from Europa in Jinan. Those barbarians in Jinan are very well-behaved. They learn to speak our Chinese and learn our etiquette. They are nothing like the ones we met in Guangzhou before. Savage."

Hearing this, Luo Fangbo couldn't help getting excited, and said, "That's the best. If everyone has no objections, then let's prepare something like the Yellow Book of Fish Scales?"

Jiang Wubo said: "Those small Dansu countries..."

Luo Fangbo shook his head, and said with a smile: "Those small Dansu kingdoms are still under the rule of our Lanfang kingdom after all. It is up to us, not them, to decide whether to attach or not."

"Da Ming is so powerful, and our faces are also radiant. When we go out, those barbarians must respect us!"

"As long as we prepare the Yellow Book of Fish Scales, once the imperial army arrives, it will be too late for those Dansu small countries to object."

"What's more, if the attached matter can be accomplished, we people can be regarded as contributing soil, and the imperial court will definitely not lose us!"

Speaking of this, Luo Fangbo became excited again, looked at Jiang Wubo and said, "Hurry up and prepare the yellow book of fish scales, and you will go to Daming with me later."
