Chapter 42: Han Xiufen's Nanyang Academy

When Liu Mingliang arrested people, it was very simple, the soldiers only needed to blow up some big trees to trap these Song Dynasty remnants living on the top of the trees, but preventing them from committing suicide was a very headache.

Ever since a young woman had fallen from a tree with the intention of committing suicide and was caught with fishing nets by the soldiers under the tree, he had to take every step of the way, first grabbing the slick children with a net pocket with a long pole, and then threatening them with the children to surrender.

Even so, these people are desperate......

From Liu Pei's mouth, Han Xiufen figured out what these people had experienced in the past four hundred years.

The contingent of 10,000 people now has only 427 people left.

This is the course of the struggle of the remnants of the Song Dynasty on the island of Java over the years.

Moreover, among the remaining people, most of them are women and women, and there are very few men, especially adult men like Liu Pei, who are only nine left, and all the children in this remnant team are from these nine men.

Han Xiufen believes that if this development continues, within 30 years, this remnant team will completely disappear.

However, these people are still proud, and even in the face of the danger of extinction, they still refuse to marry the wild people of the island, let alone accompany them, and live in isolation in a tropical rainforest.

Their lives are actually battles!

Going to the beach to dry salt can kill you at any time, hunting under a tree can kill you at any time, and even hiding in the canopy of a tree can kill you in a strong storm.

That's why there are so few men in this team.

But. The most shocking thing about Han Xiufen is that these people are all literate, and many women can even be called Confucians, especially Jiugong, who is only forty-seven years old and has white hair, after talking with Han Xiufen, he was respected by Han Xiufen as a celestial.

The most trophies collected from their dwellings were not food, not supplies, but books—books of all kinds, some of which were in tatters, but could be seen, and which were carefully guarded.

Jiugong's name is Lu Hong, and he was indifferent to the Yashan tragedy that Han Xiufen asked about, and laughed at the legend of 100,000 literati going to the disaster together described in the history books, but said that the past could not be traced.

People should look forward, if they are always carrying the past forward, it is difficult to move forward.

After discovering this, Han Xiufen's attitude towards these Great Song Dynasty relics became more and more kind, and her treatment of them was mentioned again and again.

When these people changed out of the clothes made of coconut skin fiber on their bodies and changed into the green shirts of the representatives of the Ming Dynasty, Han Xiufen's eyes burst out with two fine lights, and she found that the difference between savages and people was just a piece of clothing.

Of course, this sentence is only for these people, if you catch some Javanese savages, even if you wear the crown, you will still be a monkey.

Han Xiufen is very satisfied, with these people, she can run a Nanyang Academy in Java.

After making it clear that Han Xiufen and his party were indeed Wang Shi, and suddenly found that they had no worries about food and clothing, Jiugong and his party plunged headlong into the cognition of the new world.

"In this way, my Ming Dynasty has recaptured Tokyo, recaptured Yanyun, recaptured the Daimyo's Mansion, recaptured Guanzhong, and even stretched out his arms to the land of the Western Regions like the Han and Tang Dynasties?"

"That's the case, I raised a three-foot sword to His Majesty to drive out the Tartars, recover the rivers and mountains, the Ming Xiong soldiers went out of Yanyun, and conquered the Mongolian tribes.

I went out of the Yumen Pass with the army, marched all the way to the west, invincible, and the army did not stop when it arrived in the Tianshan Mountains, and was still sweeping the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.

The descendants of the Jin people in the north, restarted between the white mountains and black waters, the rise of the emperor, and the descendants of the Jin people fought dozens of battles, and now, the descendants of the Jin people have given up Liaodong, gave up North Korea, all the way north, even if they are defeated and retreated to the North Sea, they do not want to escape the punishment of my Ming. ”

"So, when a martial emperor is today?"

"No, when today's son is a child of the Guanzhong family, but also the "Guanxue" lineage of the master, the creation of the Yushan Academy, has long been famous all over the world, in the second year of China, but also put forward the concept of education for the whole people, now, is being implemented in the land of China, schools around the country have sprung up, one after another.

The gains of our army in Nanyang have been devoting half of Thailand to the cause of teaching and educating people, but many of the military's construction has also been postponed and lagging behind for the great cause of teaching and educating people. ”

"Okay, okay, open the wisdom of the people, don't take selfishness as the top, when today's son can be called a holy monarch, I don't know how old your majesty is today?"

"It's just been a year!"

"Is it healthy?"

"I walk around archery on weekdays, practice martial arts diligently, and I have never heard of any hidden diseases."

"Okay, did you give birth to a prince, did the prince ever have smallpox?"

"Your Majesty has two sons and a daughter, the eldest prince is now fourteen years old, and the second prince is the same age as the eldest prince, and they are both healthy."

Jiugong stroked his beard and said: "There are fewer princes, Your Majesty should be a concubine and give birth to more princes." ”

Han Xiufen looked at Jiugong and shook her head and said: "Your Majesty has only two queens so far, and if you call yourself a queen, you can top the harem thousand, and the two queens are his harem three thousand, it seems that there is no plan to expand the harem." ”

"But the queen is jealous?"

"No, Your Majesty joked with the ministers, and the two queens overwhelmed him, so he had no time to take care of him."

"This kind of heaven is good or bad, each has its own pros and cons, but. The old man is going to open an apprenticeship in this Nanyang, I wonder if the general can allow it? ”

Han Xiufen smiled, and smiled extremely happily.

Zhao Lu Jiugong saluted and said: "As long as the Nine Princes have this intention, if the Nine Princes ask, Han will not allow it, even if it is beyond the scope of Han's ability, and there is My Majesty as the backer, the Nine Princes will do their best." ”

"Okay, the old man inherited the Great Song Taixue, and founded the school, naturally it can't be small, let alone neglected, please General Han will give the great tomorrow a book and correct the name of my Nanyang School."

Han Xiufen said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, a certain family will send a warship and order them to set off for the country in the starry night, I believe that after the construction of my Nanyang Academy is completed, Your Majesty's edict will definitely come as scheduled." ”

Lu Jiugong picked up the teacup, sniffed the fragrant tea deeply, stretched out his fingers and dipped it lightly in the tea bowl, and then flicked his fingers, popping out a few drops of tea, and said in a low voice: "The bitterness is sweet, it is not in vain that I will wait for four hundred years." ”

The conversation with Lu Jiugong made Han Xiufen extremely happy, it was too important for her to be able to establish a large school in the land of Nanyang, with the university hall, there would be many officials who were familiar with Nanyang affairs in the land of Nanyang.

If this university can really develop, it will be of great benefit to the empire to consolidate its rule in Nanyang.

Therefore, without waiting for the end of the search project on Java Island, the construction of Nanyang Academy began in Jakarta, which the Javanese call "the city of victory" and "the fortress of glory" in the northwest of the island, "Batavia" by the Dutch and the "Third Lantian City" called by the Nanyang Ming people.

This time, she is ready to invest 300,000 Javanese and 20,000 Ming Nanyang people into the construction of this academy.

The cost of building this academy could be raised by selling the governor of the Dutch East India Company in Nanyang and the more than 4,600 captured Dutchmen.

The construction of a Nanyang Academy is a major event in Han Xiufen's heart, and as for Count Rennes, he is just a prisoner.

The Strait of Malacca has been completely blocked by the First Fleet of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is land or sea, the warships of the Dutch East India Company that escaped from Java by luck have no other way to survive except to be destroyed.

After isolating the Strait of Malacca, the contact between the Ming and Europe was completely in the hands of Han Xiufen, and she did not think that the Dutch East India Company would send a huge fleet to the South Seas to trouble her for the sake of a director.

At the same time, the First Fleet of the Ming Dynasty also needs to find a heavyweight Western nobleman to open the knife, so as to declare the determination of the Ming Dynasty to rule the South Seas.

After discussing with Lu Jiugong, Han Xiufen directly found Count Rennes and said frankly: "Mr. Earl, I need a lot of money to build a great university now.

And you know, the assets of the First Fleet of the Ming Navy belong to the state, and the state has never allowed the Ming army to carry out any commercial activities, that is to say, I now lack a large amount of money at my disposal, I don't know if the Earl of Rennes has any good advice. ”

Since the Count of Rennes was captured alive by his daughter, he has not been abused, not only has he not been abused, Zhang Chuanli even found the servant of the Count of Rennes from the prisoner of war camp and was responsible for serving him.

Therefore, the Count of Rennes today is not in a bad state of mind, except for the fact that he has been a little haggard.

"Your Excellency Count Han, you are the supreme commander of the Ming Empire in Nanyang, then, I can take the liberty of asking, are you not even allowed to use the money to build a school?"

Han Xiufen said: "This is the rule of the Ming Empire, even a general like me, who is far away from the Ming Dynasty, must abide by some basic rules and regulations, the money in my treasury belongs to the Ming Empire, and I can't use it easily."

But, with you, I am sure that I will receive a sufficient sum of money for the construction of a fine academy, which I think will total at two hundred thousand taels of gold, which is the ten million silver coins of the sea galleon struck by your Dutch East India Company. ”

Count Wren shook his head and said, "I'm not worth that much money, even if Count Han counts the four thousand six hundred employees of the Dutch East India Company who were captured, it's not worth so much money.

Count of Counts, a million silver coins of the Galleon are enough to build a glorious university. ”

Han Xiufen said expressionlessly: "Okay, it seems that we have good negotiations that can't continue, I think that my Colonel Leonie will definitely fulfill my wish from you." ”

After that, he didn't look at the pale Wren, and said directly to Zhang Chuanli: "Deliver the Count of Wren to Leonie and tell her that I need 10 million silver coins for the sea sailboat." ”
