Hao Fenglou's 'High Wind and Bright Festival' made Zhu Di even more impressed. This is the fat in front of him, Hao Fenglou not only didn't ask for it, but also analyzed the facts and explained the benefits and disadvantages of this Siam, and Zhu Di was also moved at this time.

At this time, Hao Fenglou said: "Your Majesty, Siam is not better than Jiaozhi, with the humble opinion of Weichen, it must not be the same system as Siam, Jiaozhi is actually as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, it was the land of my Heavenly Dynasty, Jiaozhi people speak Chinese, Xi is Chinese characters, a qiē life habits, are no different from my Ming Dynasty, the former Annan people, are proud to be able to speak a pure Ming official language, so the Ming set up Tusi, as long as they are willing to take care of the interests of their family, for them, It doesn't make a difference whether you surrender to the Ming Dynasty or the Annam royal family. ”

Zhu Di listened, couldn't help nodding, the Jiaozhi people are actually Han people, although there are also some local people, but the vast majority of them are no different from the Han people, it is not an exaggeration to say that blood is thicker than water, the reason why the Annan people and the Han people are distinguished, is nothing more than the former royal family of Annan in order to consolidate the rule, so as not to be too deeply affected by the Central Plains Dynasty in Annan and affect their status, and now the Ming Dynasty has taken Jiaozhi, established a province, set up a county, and divided the Tusi, so that the Jiaozhi Hao people are dependent, Nowadays, there is almost no difference between Annan and the Han people, and no one mentions the word Annan.

Hao Fenglou continued: "However, the language and even customs of the Siamese people are completely different from those of my Ming Dynasty, and it would be inappropriate to rashly follow the precedent of Jiaozhi. Because Wechen thought that Siam would never be able to make a king. Nor can they be stationed as court officials. ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Oh? Isn't that a contradiction? ”

Hao Fenglou said: "If Siam has a king, then it is equivalent to a great victory for Weichen and the soldiers in front." In fact, it was in vain, and the final result was not under my Daming couch, making people sleep soundly? If so, why did the Ming conquer Siam? ”

Zhu Di nodded, he was a person who was very happy, quite like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is extremely important for him to expand the territory, if he sets up a Siamese king. This means that all the previous efforts have been in vain, maybe other emperors are interested in this, but for Zhu Di, they are reluctant.

Hao Fenglou continued: "But on the other hand. The Siamese people have turned away from me. If the imperial court is stationed in the imperial court, the officials of the imperial court are far away from the emperor, and there will inevitably be a bit of immorality. This Siam is thousands of miles away from the hinterland of my Daming, once the incident happens. The imperial court had to send a large army to suppress it, and so it went back and forth repeatedly. It's really more than worth the loss. ”

Zhu Di also deeply agrees with this, Siam is indeed far away, and it is different from the Jiaozhi people, everyone is not a group at all, if the court forcibly incorporates it, it is very likely that there will be a fierce backlash, and after all, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the court is beyond the reach of this, so there will be many ministers who write to continue to establish a vassal state and crown a vassal king, which can be regarded as out of sight.

Zhu Di said: "This left is not, right is not, what should it be?" ”

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly: "Then simply don't go left or right, why don't you try a new way, don't set up a king, and don't set up a province." ”

Zhu Di frowned: "If you don't set up a king, and you don't set up a province, how to deal with this internal and external matter?" ”

Hao Fenglou said: "You can set up a senior administration yuan and let their officials and businessmen choose themselves." ”

Zhu Di couldn't help sneering: "This is too fantastic, isn't this nonsense?" If so, wouldn't it be a commotion, and when will it be the end? ”

Hao Fenglou sneered, scratched his head, and said, "Your Majesty, isn't what I want from Daming just to make a fuss?" Let them elect their own senior ministers and preside over government affairs, in this regard, so that they have a channel to influence national affairs, those Siamese wealthy families, since they can exert their own influence, why do they need to risk their lives to confront my Ming Dynasty? ”

Zhu Di said: "In this way, what is the difference between setting up a vassal king, and in the end, isn't it cheaper for those Siamese?" ”

Hao Fenglou shook his head: "But His Majesty doesn't know, in this Siam, there are a percentage of Chinese, and there are a lot of Chinese in Siam, all of them are wealthy businessmen, they have the support of my Ming Dynasty, naturally, they can also have their own influence in this Siamese country, on the one hand, they need to use the power of the mother country to control the government of Siam, so naturally, they have close ties with my Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, they have silver, and I have the support of the Ming Dynasty, so they can naturally gather a group of ministers and form a private party, In the end, the national politics of Siam, in this way, on the surface, my Ming did not interfere too much in Siam, and within Siam, there are many factions, I Ming borrowed those Chinese giants, at any time to implement their will, and at the same time stationed some military horses in Siam, and then introduced some displaced people to reclaim, this Siam, in the end, is not still my Ming world? ”

Zhu Di didn't understand Siamese very well, but the Hao family's side was indeed very familiar, and Zhu Di didn't know if this method was feasible, but what Hao Fenglou said was still like that, so he was a little moved.

As for Hao Fenglou, in fact, there is a sentence that did not tell Zhu Di, once the Ming Dynasty implemented this strategy against Siam, then the Hao family benefited the most.

Once Siam sets up the Information Administration, the major interest groups in the country will inevitably split, which means that on the surface of the country's political affairs, everyone has the right to speak, but in fact no one can be the master, and the Hao family is not far from there, it is completely possible to rely on Chinese businessmen, and a group of Siamese nobles who benefit from Jiaozhi commerce and trade to influence Siam, the more chaotic the faction in Siam, the greater the influence of the Hao family, and then take the opportunity to continue to infiltrate, within three years, this Siam will not only be all over the Han people, And soon it will be controlled by Langshan and local Chinese businessmen Most of the land, mountains, forests, and minerals, and these people are wearing a pair of pants with the Hao family, and after the economic control, then Chen Xue will use this to exert influence and erode the cultureEvery move has a much greater impact on Siam than all Siamese people combined.

Ten years later, a large number of Han people moved in, and when Han people accounted for half of the population, then assimilation officially began, and those Siamese magnates would soon be completely abandoned by boiling frogs in warm water, and by that time, even if they had different intentions, it would be too late.

This bold idea, in a sense, is due to Hao Fenglou's self-confidence in his own strength, but also in the Langshan chaebol group, although this chaebol may not be able to touch the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and at present there is no ability to confront the old landlord and gentry group of the Ming Dynasty, but it is still easy to crush a small old Siamese aristocratic group.

And now, what Hao Fenglou has to do is to lobby Zhu Di to create the best environment for the chaebol represented by himself, so that Siam will become a hotbed for the Langsan chaebol.

Zhu Di also seems to feel that this so-called 'suggestion' is a little ridiculous, but for Siam, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, even if they are as smart as Xie Jin, they are also black-eyed, in this case, it is obvious that the weight of the Hao family is not low, and this Siam was originally beaten down by Hao Fenglou, and the people are high-spirited and bright, and they do not accept the reward of the King of Siam, if they even veto this, it will inevitably seem a little unkind.

After a long time, Zhu Di said: "This matter, I will let the cabinet discuss it tomorrow, if there is no problem, just do as you say." ”

Hao Fenglou said in his heart, the cabinet is there, I wish I would like to be the king of the domain, how can I support this matter lightly, if it is really discussed, who knows what will happen?

Thinking of this, Hao Fenglou glanced at Zhu Di deeply and said, "Weichen has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing and said, "You guy, you still dare to say anything, why now, you are spitting again." ”

Hao Fenglou said: "Weichen thinks that the cabinet will never agree to this charter. ”

"How so?" Zhu Di frowned.

Hao Fenglou said: "Probably because I don't want to let His Majesty taste the sweetness." ”

Zhu Di's body shook slightly.

This sentence seems to be nonchalant and somewhat cloudy. But Zhu Di understood, not only did he understand, but his brows furrowed deeply, revealing a bit of disgust.

The so-called sweetness is whether the Ming can get the benefits in Siam, to put it bluntly, it is actually to expand the territory, because once it is done according to the charter of Hao Fenglou, then the Ming Dynasty must garrison in Siam, and Siam has become the territory of the Ming Dynasty in name.

This is the sweetness, from ancient times to the present, the emperor Lao Tzu wants to kill all directions, to expand the territory, often the biggest obstacle is not their enemies, but those so-called scholars, what is involved here is not so much a battle of ideas, but a battle of interests.

The so-called concept is a concept followed by the scholars, that is, the so-called reckless military is better than inaction, an emperor like Zhu Di, in fact, has a lot of criticism, many people discuss it in private, and they feel that it is a great joy today, these private rumors, how can Zhu Di not know, just pretend not to know.

But now, Hao Fenglou's words inevitably made Zhu Di become deeper.

It is understandable that I am reluctant to let me taste the sweetness, because if the conquest of Siam can benefit the imperial court, then many people will inevitably worry that after they taste the sweetness, they will be more interested in such things, so they would rather give up Siam and create a situation in which this war is futile and wasteful.
