Chapter 949: More Sons Can Be Blessed
"Old man, how many Han people can there be in Nanyang? What about each other? Liu Chun was curious.
Because since the Tang and Song dynasties, the Maritime Silk Road has been relatively prosperous, and tens of thousands of people have poured in from outside, and so on, there will be no shortage of Han people going to sea.
Otherwise, it would not have given birth to Chen Zuyi, Wang Zhi, and Zheng Yilong, these "One Piece"!
Since the strength of the Han people is not weak, why is there not much movement overseas, and they are always in a weak position?
Haven't you ever thought about integrating the power of the Nanyang Han people to form a fist?
Not only Liu Chun was curious, but Zhu Di was also very curious.
They talked to the old man, and after chatting for a while, the monarch and the ministers all understood.
First of all, the Han people in Nanyang are scattered all over the place, and it is difficult to form an advantage in any place.
This is on the surface, everyone knows.
If the Han people can unite, at least in one or several places, they can form an advantage and establish a state, and it will not be a problem.
But why not?
The introduction of the old man revealed the clues.
His ancestral home is Guangzhou, and among the Han people in Nanyang, they are not the most, and can only be ranked third, and in front of them are Zhangzhou, Quanzhou...... These places are all traditional overseas Chinese hometowns, and there are many people who go to sea to make a living.
Most of them are family relatives who have moved overseas and taken root.
In this way, overseas Han Chinese formed a small circle.
The Han people in various places have different languages, different ancestors, and even different gods and goddesses.
Their resentment towards each other is even stronger than that of barbarians.
The old man told Zhu Di and Liu Chun that some time ago, the descendants of immigrants from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou fought two battles and dozens of people died!
When Zhu Di heard this, his hair stood on end.
Isn't this two hundred and five?
What is it to fight with your own people, you have the ability to fight with the barbarians, snatch the land from them, grab the property, and be the master of this land yourself!
Zhu Di really couldn't figure out why these people were so keen on infighting.
It's really uncompromising!
"Taishi, what do you think?"
Liu Chun was also angry, but he was much more rational than Zhu Di.
The situation like Nanyang is not so incomprehensible.
Overseas immigrants have different regions, different cultures, different times, different motives for going to sea, and even more different means of making a living.
After they went to sea one after another, they were cut off from the Central Plains and became duckweed that had lost the nourishment of its cultural matrix.
Over time, it will naturally compromise with the local dominant natives and become echo worms, just hoping to get a little soup and water.
Even if there are occasional heroes with big ambitions, it is difficult to turn the big picture around.
If there is any way for Liu Chun, there is only one.
"Emperor Taishang, the top priority is to completely rectify Nanyang and issue new identities to all Han people. Educating and guiding them, integrating these people, although there is still a gap in numbers, is enough to help us control the whole South Seas. Then there is the fact that the imperial court wants to deliberately increase immigration, assimilate the natives, and complete the complete control of Nanyang. ”
Zhu Di took a deep breath, his old face darkened, and said irritably: "Just do as you say, it's really a bunch of unassuming things, I'm so angry!" ”
The Emperor Taishang was furious, and the sky was shattered!
The entire South China Sea is full of bitter wind and rain.
In particular, those envoys who participated in the Luzon ceremony returned home one after another, and instead of bringing back rich rewards, they brought back a large number of treaties, as well as the fierce combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
Zhenla is already finished, whoever wants to be the next one, just jump out!
Outside of this atmosphere, Han people everywhere moved.
The elders and elders of various families rushed to Sanbao Harbor, and among them, there were many former rivals, who were still angry and hostile to each other when they met at this moment.
In addition, since they are outcasts of the Celestial Empire, they all have opinions about the imperial court, and even say that they have hatred.
When Zhu Yuanzhang banned the sea, many people's ancestors died in the hands of Lao Zhu, and there were all kinds of indigenous troubles, and no one helped them...... This resentment in their hearts made them indignant.
If it weren't for Da Ming's strong strength, they wouldn't have come at all.
But when they came to Sambao Harbor, they smelled something different.
"Everyone, please come here."
Zhu He led them to the highest place in the entire Sanbao Port, and in the past period of time, relying on the sappers in the army, a temple has been built.
This temple is not dedicated to gods and Buddhas, nor does it have any messy merit incense, wishing fountain...... There are only two righteous gods here.
One is the Yan Emperor, and the other is the Yellow Emperor!
The two ancestors were dressed in animal skins, with clumsy faces, looking down on all the descendants.
I don't know if it's because the time is too short, or if the craftsmanship is not at home.
These two idols look a little familiar...... The statue of Emperor Yan, the facial features are very similar to Liu Chun, and as for the Yellow Emperor, it is all over the body, with a little momentum of the Yongle Emperor.
But that's not the point.
The focus is on the two emperors of Yan and Huang, who are the ancestors of all Han people!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have asked you to come here so that you can take a look and think about it...... In addition to the length of time at sea, the hometown is different, and the language and customs are different...... We also have a lot in common. We are all descendants of the Han family, the people of China, and in our hearts, we all have the Emperor Tianhou Tu, the two emperors of Yan and Huang. We write Chinese characters, read Tang poems, respect our ancestors, respect the old and love the young, and respect our brothers and brothers......."
"In the face of the two ancestors, I sincerely appeal to let go of regional differences and give up small families one by one, at least ...... On top of the small family, there is a bigger China! ”
Liu Chun smiled and talked eloquently with these people.
Some of them have been away from the land of China for generations, and it sounds like a bit of a struggle.
But when someone told them what Liu Chun meant, these people all cried. Some people almost fainted...... If you can't survive anymore, who wants to leave your hometown?
The ancestral tombs, the hometown fathers and elders, all left behind, even if he died, he was just a mourning ghost!
The more I thought about it, the more sad and grief-stricken I became.
Liu Chun saw it in his eyes and did not continue.
He has been in power for many years, and he has gradually developed a habit of looking at problems. It's true to appeal to emotion and move people with emotion. After all, if you don't even have feelings, then you're not human.
It's just that emotion is just a stepping stone, and the next thing is the ultimate benefit.
There is no real reason, who will listen to you fooling, you look so beautiful, don't think about being so beautiful!
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past, the land of China, the Central Plains Dynasty, was a country that valued land power. The reason is also very simple, the threat of the past generations has come from the northern grasslands. Today's Ming Dynasty is different, it is both sea and land, and to make it clear, it is necessary to take the ocean as the key direction of development, and the past trade and exploration are all for today! ”
"The Emperor intends to send the nobles of the clan to supervise the countries and the governor's trade duties...... You are all people who understand, and the court is new to the court, and you must have reliable people to help. I'm biased in favor of you on this point. Of course, among the barbarians, there are also very powerful voices, such as the Da Nail of Zhenla, who was appointed as the superintendent of Nanyang Province. After all, his heart is towards the Ming Dynasty, and the court will give him a chance! ”
Liu Chun smiled brightly, but the meaning was extremely straightforward.
Now is a good opportunity to get on the bus, you don't want to, some people want to. The court doesn't have to be you!
Especially since you fought with each other in the past, you shouldn't have done it, the court hasn't forgotten about it, it just doesn't want to pursue it.
At this point, it couldn't be clearer.
Many people hurriedly fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"King Shang, rest assured, the grass people will definitely assist the imperial court and deal with those barbarians together!"
Liu Chun smiled on his face, "Don't talk about the grass people...... Since it is his own person, the court will not be stingy with fame...... From now on, each of you will be able to get the seven-rank crown belt, and from now on, you will be officials. ”
Liu Chun talked a lot earlier, and the big guy also felt the same way. But only when this seven-grade crown belt was mentioned, people were boiling in an instant.
The so-called crown belt does not mean that it is an official official, but it is just to enjoy the courtesy of a seven-rank official.
But even so, it's moving enough.
This is what these overseas people care about the most!
A thought welled up in everyone's hearts: "I became an official, I actually became an official!" ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you for your grace!"
Liu Chun waved his hand. "What's the use of thanking me! I gave you an official position to let you do things, understand? ”
"Understood! Understand! ”
The little old man who came to see Zhu Di first stood up.
"King Shang, we have prepared food, wine and meat, as well as a lot of gifts, to reward the brothers of the three armies, and to ...... the Emperor Taishang and the King of Shang."
Liu Chun waved his hand and sneered: "Does this king lack a few of your money?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately frightened, and they couldn't help but fall to their knees again.
I was muttering in my heart, what is going on with this Shang King?
Isn't that too moody?
Liu Chun glanced at everyone, and suddenly laughed, "This king counts when he speaks, and he will never be greedy for money." This king is worried about you! How many descendants do you have? From now on, Nanyang will be your world, so much wealth, so many good positions. If there are not enough people, it is a bit unjust to leave it to outsiders for nothing! ”
After Liu Chun finished speaking, he said proudly: "I have three wives and seven children, in addition to the eldest daughter who has been married, there are three sons and three daughters...... As the saying goes, many sons are blessed, and you can't be less than this king! ”
Seven children, Liu Chun feels that it is already a lot, after all, there are too many children, and it is too difficult to teach. This time when I went to sea, except for leaving the eldest daughter, the other six were all taken by Liu Chun, don't ask them to become talents, don't embarrass the Liu family!
I see!
These people all showed meaningful smiles, King Shang, nothing else can be compared, children, you are too bad, and you can't catch up with the train......
