The Han culture is spreading strongly in Southeast Asia

Chapter 156: Standard Operations for Usurping the Throne

At the port of Bashu Prefecture, Mo Zibu stared in amazement at the large number of black boats flying the Hexian flag coming towards him. He was completely paralyzed.

In just ten days, my father Ou Tianci personally brought more than a thousand soldiers, thousands of Meng men, women, and children, and hundreds of large and small ships to transport a large amount of supplies to Bashu Prefecture.

Looking at Ou Tianci's old face that was flushed with excitement and listening to his hearty laughter, Mo Zibu deeply felt a problem.

That's how crazy a monarch who is not good at military affairs will be when he finally gets a chance to show his skills.

After boarding Zou Tianci's flagship, Mo Zibu just entered the captain's room and saw a little girl in a bright red dress, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

She seemed a little uncomfortable with the brocade silk on her body. She sat there awkwardly, her little face flushed red.

The little girl saw Mo Zibu come in, took a quick look at him, then flew up into a few red clouds, lowered her head, and rested her chin on a pair of extremely plump "canteens".

Mo Zibu looked back in surprise and found that Ou Tianci didn't follow him. Only Chen Chengji was standing at the door with his mouth open and laughing foolishly.

I immediately understood what was going on. This was Chen Chengji's sister, the little cousin of the Chen family.

Mo Zibu was an old hand, so of course he wasn't shy. He walked forward with some curiosity, and with the sunlight coming in through the window, he looked at this cousin who was not too distantly related and had her head buried deep in her chest.

She is petite and looks to be less than 1.6 meters tall. She is not very white, but a very healthy wheat color, and her legs do not look very long.

However, her body proportions are very good, it is simply the standard female golden ratio body shape.

Her appearance is above average, and she is very attractive. The more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes.

"Cousin." Ah Zhen felt that Mo Zibu was always looking at her. Her ears gradually turned into the color of liver, and she snorted softly with some anger.

Oh my gosh! Mo Zibu felt a numbness all over his body and couldn't help shivering.

He had never heard this kind of tender and gentle voice up close. You thought it was probably pressed out, but you knew it was not a shy and timid voice that was deliberately pressed out.

This cousin is quite good! If she were in the future, she would have millions of fans just based on her voice.

"Ahem, cousin, can you read?" Mo Zibu asked for the sake of conversation.

Ah Zhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mo Zibu in surprise, thinking he was a little disgusted. Tears immediately began to well up in her eyes, and then she sniffed, and after trying hard to calm down, she said:

"How could a girl go to school? She could read a few words, but she had never used a pen."

Well, Mo Zibu was also a little speechless. In this day and age, you asked a fisherman's daughter whether she could read or not. Isn't that just looking for trouble? No wonder people misunderstood you.

Thinking of this, Mo Zibu slapped his thigh and said, "That's great. I'm in need of a secretary. Cousin, you can stay with me from now on. I'll teach you how to read and write."

Secretary? Chen's cousin looked up blankly. No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't connect the words "can't read," "I'll teach you," and "that's great" together.

Mo Zibu retreated before she could figure it out. "Chengji, I'll give you a day off. Go choose some maids to serve your sister."

Chen Chengji was overjoyed and happily took the order and went down.

Then Mo Zibu saw Ou Tianci waiting for him.

The father and son didn't talk nonsense. Lu Tianci got straight to the point and said, "Since Ah Zhen is here, let her stay with you until she gets pregnant.

Until she gives birth to a baby boy, you'd better not touch other women."

Mo Zibu looked at Ou Tianci in astonishment. Is this going to purify his bloodline?
Ou Tianci never had this idea before, because his mother, Mo Zibu's grandmother, was a Kinh people. Among Ou Tianci's five wives and concubines, four were not Han people.

"I've read the battle report sent by Shanzong. You're right. Even though the Manchus were a small tribe facing a great power, the power of the Chinese court was still astonishing.

Given the strength of the White Elephant King, if Qianlong were to take him seriously once, he would be seriously injured.

If the fighting continues, even if we are defeated repeatedly, it is only a matter of time before the White Elephant King follows in Mang Ruiti's footsteps."

This was the greatest impact of the Qing-Myanmar War. It made all the monarchs, big and small, in Southeast Asia realize that even if the Qing Dynasty could not exert its full strength, any country in Southeast Asia would be doomed if it faced the Qing Dynasty.

This can also be considered a kind of black humor. The Qing Dynasty used its weakness to prove a point to the world, that is, the strength of the Chinese court in Beijing is unquestionable.

Even at the lower limit, it is still very powerful.

In the situation where strength can defeat skill, I can lose ten times and still hold on, but you lose once.

No! You don't even have to lose, because you probably won't be able to make me lose ten times.

"Father, father-in-law, your strategy is correct. It's Alin who thinks too complicatedly." Ou Tianci suddenly sighed to the sky, and then looked at Mo Zibu.

"My son, it's not too late now. Zheng Guoying can win the support of the Siamese people, so our Mo family may also be recognized by the Kinh people.

It is rare that my son has never seen his grandfather and grandfather-in-law, but can communicate with them. You are indeed the son of the Mo family who shoulders the destiny.

Yes, rather than our family becoming a Jing tribe, it would be better for us to replace Jing with Hua, and let the Jing people serve me as their master."

If others heard what Ou Tianci said, they would be confused, but Mo Zibu knew what Ou Tianci was talking about.

Simply put, the path that Ou Jiu and Chen Shangchuan took in the past was to raise the banner of the Chinese people, attract the Jing-ized Han people and the Han-ized Jing people in southern Annan to follow them, and finally establish a Tiannan Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, even after Zheng Keshuang shaved his head, they still clung to the Ming Dynasty, retaining a large number of Ming Dynasty clothing and classics and systems, and internally regarded themselves as Ming Dynasty officials.

However, they did not expect that in order to deal with the Zheng family of Dongning, the Qing Dynasty would actually adopt a cruel order to move the sea, and the order became more and more stringent in the later period.

This inhumane policy not only dealt a heavy blow to the Zheng family, but also left the Mo and Chen families on the verge of death.

The order to move to the sea caused the Mo and Chen families to quickly lose their ability to obtain population from the mainland, severing their roots.

You have to know that at that time on the mainland, the order to shave the head and change clothes had not been implemented for long, and there were still a large number of people who missed the Ming Dynasty and did not even shave their heads or change clothes.

Although these people did not have the ability to continue to rebel, they were still determined to abandon their homes and businesses and go to Southeast Asia.

If there had been no order to move the sea, Ou Jiu and Chen Shangchuan could have gone back to the coastal areas of Guangdong to recruit people to move south. Even if they recruited only 20,000 people a year, that would have been 400,000 people in 20 years, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in the south would have been established.

By integrating some Jing-ized Han people like the Pei family and the Han-ized Jing people, a large Chinese nation with a population of about one million was established.

However, the implementation of the sea-moving order caused Ou Jiu and Chen Shangchuan to lose the most critical decade or so.

By the time the sea migration order was slightly relaxed, the Han people who slowly moved from the mainland to Southeast Asia had braids on the back of their heads and were less willing to mix with the Mingxiang people.

At the same time, during the reigns of Nguyen Jiu and Chen Shangchuan, the politics of the Nguyen court in Guangnan were generally clear, and the combat effectiveness of the army was not corrupted. The sixth generation Nguyen Tai Chi King Nguyen Phuc Chin was one of the few wise and capable rulers in Guangnan.

On the contrary, an internal conflict broke out among the Mingxiang people, in which Yang Yandi, one of the two kings of Mingxiang, was killed by his subordinate Huang Jin, which prematurely exposed the Mingxiang people's intentions.

Under the pressure of Nguyen Phuc Chinh, Chen Shangchuan had no choice but to clean up his house with tears, and the Minh Hung people suffered heavy losses.

After this blow, Chen Shangchuan was already in his sixties, and Ou Jiu was struggling to face the suppression from his former master, the King of Cambodia. The matter of founding a nation was completely shelved.

Only Ou and Chen Heyi were left to preserve the legacy of the last bloodline of Wenhua.

When the foundation was passed to Ou Jiu's son Ou Tianci and Chen Shangchuan's son Chen Dading.

Both of them are second-generation Chinese who grew up in Vietnam. The Ming Dynasty was gone when they were born, so their feelings for their homeland are far less deep than those of their parents.

At the same time, although the Ou family and the Chen family failed to completely unite to establish a country, they both had some foundation. Naturally, neither Ou Tianci nor Chen Dading wanted to be inferior to the other.

Both of them lost interest in the extremely difficult and troublesome task of coordinating the interests of all parties involved.

In order to control the base of Hexian and prevent the Chen family from interfering, Ou Tianci was even reluctant to marry a girl from the Chen family.

The idea of these two is to follow the example of the ancestors of Vietnam's Ly Dynasty, Tran Dynasty, Mac Dynasty, Northern Zheng and Southern Nguyen Dynasty, first become a Beijing-settled Han Chinese, and then integrate into the upper class of the mixed Annamites.

This route is in line with current reality and has countless successful cases in history. It is better than the extremely difficult Mo-Chen integration in any way.

But now, Ou Tianci suddenly found that the road to Beijingization was also very difficult, especially at this time when the Ruan family's political situation was in chaos and their behavior was becoming increasingly ugly.

At the same time, the fact that Taksin suddenly became the King of Siam and gained the support of the Siamese people by virtue of his great reputation for restoring the country and saving the people suddenly made Ou Tianci realize that perhaps the path his father Ou Jiu and father-in-law Chen Shangchuan mentioned was feasible.

Of course, the most important reason is the sudden rise of Mo Zibu, especially the outstanding military capabilities demonstrated by my Mo Dalongtou, which made Ou Tianci see the dawn of victory.

"Zi Bu, I've been making inquiries and have found out that there are indeed three Hu brothers in Guiren West Mountain Village. All three brothers are well-known local heroes.

Especially the eldest son of the Hu family, who was skilled in martial arts and had a heroic character. When he met a hero from the mountains and rivers, he would spend all his family property to make friends with him. His reputation spread far and wide.

The young heroes, bandits and pirates in the Guiren area all wanted to follow him and become his followers.

Such actions must be preparations for an uprising.

If such a person starts a rebellion, it will cause the world to collapse and the sky to break apart, and it will spread like wildfire in an instant."

"Hahaha!" Ou Tianci suddenly burst into laughter, "The Phu Xuan (Hue) court is in big trouble. If we're not careful, the Nguyen family's two hundred years of foundation will be in danger of being overturned.

Zhang Fuluan can't take care of things in the south for the time being. By the time they suppress the unrest in Xishan Village, we would have taken Jiading long ago.

So, Zibu, you carry the blood of heroes. Both your grandfather and maternal grandfather were great heroes of our Han people. Although your grandmother was a Jing woman, the Bianhe Pei family is not barbarians, but descendants of Ming Dynasty military officers. The Pei family has a long tradition of poetry and etiquette, as evidenced by the family tree, and can still be considered Chinese.

I think among all the heroes in Southeast Asia, there is no one with a more righteous background than you. Compared with you, Zheng Guoying is considered a barbarian.

Now, if you marry the daughter of the Chen family and give birth to a son in the future, and then recruit hundreds of thousands of Han people to Tiannan, you can realize the last wish of your grandfather and grandfather-in-law."

Mo Zibu blinked his eyes and looked at Ou Tianci's rare expression of venting. It can be imagined that he must have been under tremendous pressure from Guangnan Kingdom over the years.

"My son, hurry up and have your wedding night tonight. Quickly give birth to your firstborn son with Ah Zhen. This way, the Chen family can rest assured, and the banner of Han orthodoxy can be raised as soon as possible.

When the time comes and Guangnan is in flames, we will take over the entire south, unite Lu and Chen, and let your eldest son inherit this family business.

As for Shishi, your fiefdom of Andai will be left to you and her son.

If all else fails, I will leave the Cambodian territory west of Tonle Sap Lake to the son Shishi gives birth to for you. That way, Zheng Guoying will also be satisfied."

Faced with Ou Tianci's plan, Mo Zibu did not show much excitement. Instead, he blinked twice and blurted out something for some unknown reason.

"Father, it's too small, too small."

"What's smaller?" Ou Tianci asked as if possessed by some unknown reason.

"Father, the pattern, the pattern is too small."

Cough cough cough! Zhou Tianci, who was daydreaming, was almost choked to death by a gust of cold wind. After thinking for a long time, he finally understood what it meant to have a small vision.

"Then, what do you think a grand pattern should look like?" Ou Tianci looked at Mo Zibu in surprise and asked.

"It should be a bigger picture." Mo Zibu cleared his throat and continued:

"Dad, have you forgotten how I got out of Hue City?"

Mo Zibu pointed to the top of his head and said, "I was cuckolded by the living Cao Cao, the son of Zhang Qinhui and Zhang Fuluan, and I was so angry that I killed someone and broke out!

This is true, but it is not true.

I think the real fact is that the hostage of Ha Tien, the loyal minister of the Nguyen family, Mo Zibu, was furious when he saw that the traitor Zhang Fuluan had tampered with the will of King Wu, forged an imperial edict to usurp the throne, and killed the prince Nguyen Phuc who was supposed to succeed him.

He wanted to return to Hexian to raise an army, purge the emperor's court, and support the country, but unfortunately he was discovered by Zhang and his son, who intended to kill him.

However, the time was not yet ripe, so he used the excuse of the queen's marriage to stabilize Mo Zibu, a loyal minister of the Ruan family.

After Mo Zibu realized the conspiracy of Zhang and his son, he regarded the beautiful woman as a skull and wealth as dirt. He only had loyalty to the emperor and the justice of his country in his heart. He killed the son of the treacherous minister and returned to Hexian after going through countless hardships.

Later he was forced into exile at sea, but he remained undeterred, summoning loyal and righteous men from all corners who were concerned about the country, ready to serve the king at any time.

After hearing this, Ou Tianci suddenly widened his eyes and opened his mouth so wide that a big pear could be stuffed in.

He looked Mo Zibu up and down and had to say, this version of Mo Zibu was fucking amazing!

This is not the poor proton who was cuckolded and killed people out of anger.

This is the most loyal minister in the world!
This is probably what happened to Yao Chong, Duke Wenzhen, who rectified the country three times and continued the Li Tang dynasty after the Shenlong Rebellion.

How did you come up with this idea?

Ou Tianci was quite shocked. It took real talent to be able to turn a story about his own incompetence into one that was so loyal, heroic, and full of ups and downs, which was quite worth spreading.

Haha, Mo Zibu faked a smile and said, this is nothing, just an enhanced version of General Cai E and Cai Songpo.

However, Ou Tianci reacted immediately. He looked straight at Mo Zibu and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Mo Zibu suddenly put on a righteous look, "Father, when you say if, I mean if!
If people like Chuangxian from Qui Nhon and other places took advantage of the chaos to rise up in rebellion at this time, Northern Zheng would also take the opportunity to move south, leading to the fall of Hue and the death of all the close relatives of the Nguyen royal family.

At this time when the country was leaderless and the people had no one to rely on, a loyal minister who was respected by the people of Tiannan, the son-in-law of King Wu Nguyen Phuc Khoa, and who had earlier escaped from Hue, stepped forward.

He called on heroes from all over the world to punish the rebels, restore order in the court, and save the people from suffering. In the end, he put an end to the chaos, but unfortunately he was unable to save the descendants of King Wu.

But the throne cannot remain vacant. Who do you think is qualified to sit on the throne of the Hue Royal Palace?"

Ou Tianci shuddered violently, looked at Mo Zibu with unfamiliar eyes, and tremblingly stretched out his finger, pointing at his son.

"Abu, that great loyal minister and King Wu's son-in-law you were talking about, isn't that you?"

“Hahahaha!” Now it was Mo Zibu’s turn to go crazy. He laughed heartily and said, “Father, who else could it be if not Zibu?

I read the arrest warrant issued by Prince Ding, and it only said that I killed a court official and fled for fear of punishment, but it also said that I killed the queen and stripped me of my status as a royal consort?"

Lu Tianci shuddered again. That's right! After his son escaped from Hue, even Zhang Fuluan's confidant Cai Sheng and others felt that Zhang Fuyue had gone too far and that being killed was his own fault.

Zhang Fuluan himself felt that this matter was a little difficult to talk about and he was ashamed, so he did not mention that Mo Zibu had killed the unfaithful woman Ruan Shiyuan.

"So, my son is still Ruan's consort?" Ou Tianci felt that his brain could not keep up. This world was too bizarre.

"Yes! My son is still the son-in-law of King Wu Nguyen Phuc Kho.

I think in the future, maybe one or two daughters or granddaughters of King Wu will slip through the net, and they will not despise them and will be willing to marry another daughter of the Ruan family.

Even if she is a widow, even if she is older, it doesn’t matter.”

Ou Tianci took a deep breath and looked at the sea. The sea breeze outside Bashu Port gave him goose bumps all over his body. After a while, Ou Tianci suddenly turned around.

"Yeah, that's right! Damn, this is actually possible!
If we do it right, the two hundred years of the Ruan family's legacy in Guangnan will be passed on to our Mo family."

Ou Tianci now understands what it means to have a narrow vision. He can only focus on Jiading, but his son has already set his sights on the entire Guangnan.

Ou Tianci now deeply doubts whether his son, who used to have a bad temper, had planned this all along, as he insisted on staying in Hue and being devoted to a fickle woman.

Great! This is what all the heroes of the past and present have been like.

"Leave this matter of spreading rumors and stirring things up to your cousin, Pei Jiannan. The Pei family is a prominent family of scholars and leaders of the literati, and they're the best at this. They might even be able to spread your deeds to everyone in Beizheng."

Ou Tianci quickly selected the promoters to build momentum for Mo Zibu. Naturally, this kind of thing had to be done by the Confucian disciples in the Confucian Temple throughout Annan.

"I have asked Li Guangcai to sponsor the three Hu brothers. Even if the three Hu brothers cannot make it big, Li Guangcai will help them make it big." Mo Zibu continued.

Now Ou Tianci had to admire his son's ability to think three steps ahead, but he had some doubts.

"Although Li Guangcai is brave, he is your subordinate.

Secondly, it’s difficult to transport the materials for the uprising to Hue. If there are too few, they will be useless, and if there are too many, they will be discovered. If you are implicated, it will be bad.”

Mo Zibu chuckled, "Li Guangcai openly opposed the reorganization last month, injured Navy Lieutenant Jean Pierre, and has already defected."

"That's a good idea!" Ou Tianci praised it highly, "but the problem of supplies still hasn't been solved."

Mo Zibu continued to chuckle, "Father, Zhang Fuluan has seized fertile farmland, manors, mines, and fisheries, and has levied heavy taxes. The people of Mingxiang in Hoi An hate him to the core. I don't need to tell you, Grandpa Luo in Hoi An will know what to do."

"Hahahaha!" Ou Tianci laughed again. This was probably the day he laughed the most in the past few decades.

"My son is very clever, so I have nothing to worry about!

From now on, whatever you say, I will do. I will obey your instructions and work for you. I can't help but imagine the day when I will rule the royal city of Hue in the future."

. . . .

At night, a few red candles were burning in a small room at the port.

Chen Peizhen sat on the raised bed, her legs swinging in the air with a hint of joy and nervousness.

Mo Zibu deliberately did not drink any wine, and only brought in a wine pot filled with a little wedding wine.

Looking at the bridal chamber, which was so simple that it didn't even have a red veil, she said with some guilt, "Cousin Zhen, this is really a bit unfair to you."

Unexpectedly, the little cousin jumped off the bed happily, took Mo Zibu's hand and asked him to sit on the edge of the bed, then sat smoothly in Mo Zibu's arms, and put Mo Zibu's hand on her flat belly.

"To be able to marry a hero like my cousin, whose future son will be the River Fairy King, which woman in the Chen family wouldn't envy me!

Ah Zhen doesn’t feel wronged at all.”

After saying that, the little cousin put her arms around Mo Zibu's neck, raised her head as much as she could and offered her wet and fragrant lips.

With the soft and fragrant girl sitting in his arms, Mo Zibu could no longer hold back. His little cousin was only about 1.56 meters tall and weighed only 70 or 80 kilograms, but Mo Zibu easily lifted her up.

After sucking for a while, the big mouth continued to move down from the watery red lips to the delicate baby fat chin.
