The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 697 Disobeying the Ming Dynasty

The prosperity of newspapers in the Ming Dynasty is like flowers blooming in spring, and all kinds of information gather like flowing water, presenting a vibrant scene.

With the increasing convenience of transportation, not only people-to-people exchanges have become more frequent, but also the connections between elite groups in various places have become more developed and smoother. They are like spiders on a spider web, using the spider web of transportation lines to constantly weave new connections and grasp the business pulse of the Ming Dynasty.

The first merchants who went to Goryeo to do business grew up over the years, and some of them actively participated in the economic exchanges of the Ming Dynasty with their keen market insights. They are good at introducing advanced technologies and commodities from the Ming Dynasty, then digesting and innovating them locally, and then promoting them to a broader market in a unique way.

Their approach not only enriched the types of commodities in the Ming Dynasty, but also promoted the trade circulation relationship between the mainland and overseas.

The merchants who then went to Japan, under the intense pressure of the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau, used their perseverance to go out of the Ming Dynasty's local market and reopen a new world.

Good at learning and imitation, but also brave in innovation, constantly introducing novel products and services. Their arrival has injected new vitality into the large market of the entire trading system, and also brought more competition and challenges.

Nanyang merchants, relying on their rich resources and unique geographical advantages, played an increasingly important role in the economic stage of Ming Dynasty's external circulation. They brought a large number of rare commodities, such as spices, jewelry, etc., and also brought Ming Dynasty commodities to Nanyang, which promoted trade between the two sides.

The promotion of these business models has undoubtedly played a positive role in promoting the development of Ming Dynasty's economy.

Although businessmen in the seven western provinces are restricted by the management model and geographical environment of the mainland, they are also actively learning and working hard to find new business opportunities. They took advantage of the unique large-scale well system in the seven western provinces to develop a unique business model and contribute to the economic development of the western region.

Zhu Neng stopped being polite and took out a letter written by His Majesty the Emperor.

Subsequently, cotton factories, cotton spinning factories, spinning mills, weaving factories, rope weaving factories, sack factories, weaving factories, and sugar factories were built one after another on the outskirts of Multan.

Of the seven major governors in the seven western provinces, only the governors of Yulong Chijie and Mashhad were retained. The rest were replaced by admirals, such as the military affairs chief of Samarkand, which means they retained the rank of general.

The five northern provinces of Tianzhu established governors, which should have been civilian officials. Considering special circumstances, Zhu Neng served as the temporary governor, and Zhu Gaosui served as the right governor. The governor's office was established in the former governor's office of Lahore Province, and Renli served as the governor of Multan.

They asked about business models such as purchasing manors and planting cash crops, and wanted to copy Goryeo's business model in the northwest region of the Delhi Sultanate.

So manors were built one after another, and large areas of cotton, jute fields, sugar cane fields, cotton fields, etc. were planted all over the fertile land. A bumper harvest was achieved the next year.

Goryeo is now very wealthy and has become a commercially developed area. It has become the energy supply base in the north of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Neng did not object to it because of its successful experience. In order to achieve results as quickly as possible, officials also supported the investment of businessmen.

In addition to the governors of the seven western provinces, the governor of northern Tianzhu was added.

The imperial edict arrived.

Zhu Gaosui couldn't resist and could only sit at the top, but he was very conscious and showed no signs of taking over the meeting. If Zhu Neng didn't speak, he would never speak unless Zhu Neng asked.

In addition to strengthening the governance of the Barihe region, and then establishing the provinces of Kabul, Peshawar, Ghazni, Lahore, and Multan, the Ming Dynasty added five more provinces in two years. The province is known as the northern Tianzhu region.

In the prosperous land of Ming Dynasty, the promotion of various business models and the efforts of businessmen together formed a prosperous business picture. They used their wisdom and courage to write a new chapter for the economic development of Ming Dynasty. Thanks to their efforts, business exchanges in Ming Dynasty became increasingly frequent and economic prosperity reached a higher level.

In addition to the Delhi Sultanate, the Kingdom of Numanapur and the Kingdom of Punggala were also places where Ming merchants really gained the bulk of their profits. These places are rich in resources and have vast markets, providing countless business opportunities for Ming merchants. They set up branches here and carried out various trade activities, injecting new impetus into the economic development of Ming Dynasty.

Although areas such as Balihei are barren and not very profitable, businessmen have not given up. They firmly believe that as long as there is business ethics, there will be business opportunities. They ensured trade between the seven western provinces and other regions through stable trade routes.

Zhu Neng was accustomed to the exotic architectural style. He sat behind the desk and the floor was covered with exquisite carpets.

The original Governor's Palace became the Governor's Palace of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the Delhi Sultanate was a country with a large population, and its nobles controlled everything on the land, including the people's rights to life and property. This long-term rule made the nobles' lives become luxurious and became the favorite trade objects of merchants. They introduced various luxury goods from the Ming Dynasty to meet the needs of the nobles, and at the same time brought huge profits to the Ming Dynasty.

Due to geographical conditions and other reasons, Multan has become the fastest-growing region in the five northern provinces of Tianzhu. As for the Lahore province where the northwest governor of the Delhi Sultanate was originally located, there have actually been changes.

The rest of the civil and military officials, including Zhu Gaosui, Ren Li and others, were also there. Although Zhu Gaosui was the right governor and nominally Zhu Neng had a higher rank, Zhu Neng did not dare to entrust him with the throne and insisted on letting Zhu Gaosui sit at the top.

There are also seven provincial governors.

The Ming army's war broke the current situation. The northwest region of the Delhi Sultanate, which was controlled by the Ming Dynasty, as well as Dili and other areas, businessmen headed by the two brothers Zheng Gang and Zheng Ang successively approached Zhu Neng and other people in charge.

Some of the letters written by His Majesty the Emperor will be kept, and some will be burned. This time, the letters written by His Majesty the Emperor, after discussion between Zhu Neng and the prince, will be burned after the meeting and will not be preserved for future generations.

Those who are qualified to participate in this meeting are all high-level officials. Even Ren Li has met the emperor several times in person and is no stranger to the emperor's character.

After reading the emperor's letter, everyone understood the emperor's thoughts.

It was nothing more than the theory of population and land, and the emperor had no hidden thoughts.

According to the emperor, the Ming Dynasty should have as much land in the world as its population. This is the long-term way to maintain the nation's cultural and military prosperity.

"It seems that Governor Ren's idea is in line with the emperor's wishes." An official said with a smile.

Ren Li smiled politely.

At the beginning, he made his own decision and assumed a great responsibility, and many people looked on with cold eyes. Now that he has the emperor's autograph letter, it can be regarded as confirmation of his original behavior, otherwise there will be endless consequences.

"Continue to increase support for Mahamu and other forces and export their weapons and materials through trade."

Zhu Neng gave the order decisively.

In the second half of last year, Renli had privately supplied supplies and weapons to the Dili people in Multan, just as the Delhi Sultanate initially did to the rebel forces in the seven western provinces.

Zhu Neng considered the situation and approved Ren Li's idea. He did not publicly support it, but he also did not stop it. Now with the emperor's request, Zhu Neng naturally had no scruples.

There are some things that Renli can try to do, but he absolutely cannot do. Although Zhu Neng does not interfere in political affairs, he has a very clear understanding of what should be done, what should not be done, and the red lines.

The imperial court granted a special exception and set a precedent for a distinguished person to serve as governor. Many people wrote letters to congratulate Zhu Neng, but Zhu Neng could not sleep at night, often thinking about whether he had done anything wrong. With the high-level meeting in Lahore over, Renli stepped up his efforts after returning to Multan.

Under the call of Renli, Mahamu and Erdeni from Dili, and people from the Chankara area came to the city of Multan together and agreed to fight against the Delhi Sultanate.

India is the birthplace of Buddhism.

The Zenkara region, or the Sinhala Kingdom, can be seen from its name that Buddhism has a profound influence. This is the country of Sri Lanka in later generations.

The Lord Buddha was defeated and completely reduced his sphere of influence, so after learning that the Ming army had taught the Delhi Sultanate a lesson, many monk soldiers came proactively from the Chankara area on the big island in the south.

The subcontinent has been in a period of conquest and rule by foreign races for thousands of years, and the twelfth and thirteenth centuries were the most ferocious. Therefore, in the fourteenth century, the oppression of the feudal slave society in India emerged.

In the ancient subcontinent, Brahmanism had a monopoly for a long time. Around the eighth century AD, Shankara absorbed some elements of Buddhism, Jainism and other folk religions, reformed and innovated Brahmanism, and gradually formed a new sect - Hinduism.

By the beginning of the fourteenth century, the basic framework of Hinduism with Shiva as the central god was formed. The emergence of Hinduism was produced in the dark period of the Middle Ages, most likely to resist the Green religion.

In short, although Hinduism in the subcontinent has become stronger, it has not yet established an unshakable position. Instead, it is full of chaos because of the existence of the gods and gods.

The gods fight and the people suffer disaster.

The Chinese people have had a simple understanding for a long time, so the Chinese people believe in all kinds of gods, but there is only one thing. The gods must know how to benefit the people, and they must give you something in return.

This is what is most beneficial to the people.

It is not the case that ordinary people worship the gods unconditionally and give everything to the gods, but the gods receive nothing in return.

Either return the wealth, return the luck, return the future, return the marriage, or return the children

Since ancient times, ancient China has been the richest and most civilized, because the people in China are indeed very smart, while the rest of the country has been in a long period of fighting between gods and gods, and the people have suffered.

On the one hand, weapons were supplied to the Dili people, and the Dili people promised the land they did not occupy, and gave it all to the Ming people with a wave of their hands.

On the other hand, the prince of the Delhi Sultanate came to see Renli. Renli enthusiastically received the prince of the Delhi Sultanate and reiterated the friendship between the two parties and the agreement on the vassal system between the two countries.

Civil strife is always the best weapon in the hands of foreign enemies.

The civil strife on Damuan Island has become the core means for the eagle to check and balance the rabbit. It is the only obstacle and the biggest stumbling block to the rise of the Chinese nation.

When a nation is divided, it is absolutely impossible to recover because the obstacle of civil strife has not been resolved.

With the help of the other party's internal strife, the foreign enemy can easily destroy all the other party's achievements, but he does not need to pay the corresponding price, because the price is borne by the civil strife.

Zhu Gaochi did this in Goryeo, and the Japanese country also did this, and it had great effect.

The businessmen's model was spread, and His Majesty's young methods became known to everyone. Ren Li learned His Majesty's young methods and used them in the Delhi Sultanate.

This move greatly changed the difficulty of the Ming army's conquest.

To defeat the northwest governor of the Delhi Sultanate, Ming Dynasty spent countless materials and manpower, and experienced several hardships before achieving the final victory, and at a huge price.

However, through the civil strife in the Delhi Sultanate, Renli now only needs to pay for supplies and sit in the rear, and through the efforts of both the rebels and the Delhi Sultanate, he can obtain huge rewards that could not be obtained in the war.

The Delhi Sultanate became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, signed an agreement on the vassal system, and fulfilled the obligations of the vassal state. Merchants of the Ming Dynasty did business unimpeded in the Delhi Sultanate.

The Delhi Sultanate used Chinese language and Chinese characters as its official language, and externally obeyed the direction required by the Ming Dynasty.

Mahamu, a Dili native who established himself as king, also allocated a large area of ​​land in the Dili area to the Ming Dynasty, and also claimed to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not relent in this regard.

Regarding the Dili area, Renli believed that it was appropriate to become the Xuanwei Division, rather than a vassal state.

However, these contradictions, compared with the huge profits that Ming Dynasty gained and the cost without any effort, really made Ren Li very happy, and he suddenly understood the complex mood of the late emperor when he personally conquered the seven western provinces.

Sometimes the means of political success are more advanced and more beneficial than simple war.

The increasingly mature bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty has the ability to actively learn and change. From the initial fierce war to the final use of Hu to control Hu, in the third year of Hongxi, the Delhi Sultanate, Chankara Kingdom, and Dili Kingdom , Numa Na Pu'er Kingdom, and Bangge La Kingdom successively became vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

Hongxi four years.

Inspired and influenced by the Chankara Kingdom, the Kingdom of Udaipur in the southeast of the subcontinent, the Guri Kingdom in the southwest of the subcontinent, the Kochi Kingdom, and the Lesser Glan Kingdom also successively became vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Ming Dynasty swallowed up the subcontinent, there was no change in local rule.

But what can be admitted is that the flags and characters of the Ming Dynasty began to appear on this land, and the system of the Ming Dynasty began to affect the subcontinent. Envoys from various kingdoms came to Beijing to pay homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

In the fifth year of Hongxi's reign, the Dili Kingdom defeated the Delhi Sultanate and occupied a large area of ​​land in the northern part of the Delhi Sultanate. The situation was reversed. Zhu Neng, the governor of northern Tianzhu, stopped the Tianzhu War.

"All Ming Dynasty vassal states, Xuanweisi, etc. cannot launch wars without authorization. All civil wars must be stopped based on the boundaries controlled by each place. Any king or chieftain who disobeys the will of the upper court will be severely punished."

Zhu Neng's request angered Mahamu.

Mahamu stubbornly claimed to be the king. In order to support this man, the Ming Dynasty finally recognized the Dili Kingdom. Now Mahamu has strong soldiers and horses. Not only did he completely defeat the Delhi Sultanate, he also invaded all the land of the Delhi Sultanate and established a powerful Dili Kingdom. kingdom.

Mahamu believed that the Ming army did not want the Dili Kingdom to become stronger.

Many generals admonished Mahamu, but Mahamu was no longer the Mahamu of the past. He made an idea that went against the Ming Dynasty and continued to launch a war against the Delhi Sultanate.
