Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 442 Sense of Superiority

Iriant didn't know what Liang Haisheng's so-called punishment of Daming against Spain would be, but no matter how he thought about it, this possible conflict with Daming made him shudder.Eliant still wants to continue to discuss this matter with Liang Haisheng, but Liang Haisheng will not give him any more chances.

The Ming Dynasty Global Fleet officially set sail after staying in Luzon for five days. The fleet received a warm welcome from the people of Luzon. Whether it is Chinese or natives living here, they all have a clear understanding of their country. Many people For the first time, there was such a thing as a sense of national identity and national pride, and this is what His Majesty the Guangfu Emperor wanted to happen.

The fleet then successively visited Champa, Cambodia, and Siam, three consolation divisions. The time when these three consolation divisions belonged to Ming Dynasty was also very new, and some were even newer than Luzon.Strictly speaking, the process by which Ming acquired the entire Indochina Peninsula cannot be regarded as candid. For example, the Champa Kingdom watched the Annan Ruan clan destroy it, and then destroyed the Ruan clan to occupy it; The aristocratic heirs of the family rebelled and belonged.Da Ming actually had a sense of presence in these incidents, but without exception, basically Da Ming’s military use in these places can defeat a large number of local troops with only a few hundred troops. For other things, Da Ming can eliminate them with thunder.

Utilizing Wu Min's experience in governing Myanmar, Champa, Cambodia, Siam and other places also ushered in a round of purges of local nobles. The nobles who violated Yang were directly wiped out.The officials of the Xuanwei Division distributed the production materials and even the land of the nobles to the poor people in these places, and used the local people who were more cooperative to publicize the governance strategy of Ming Dynasty, and told the poor people that the Xuanwei Division Office should allow them to live. To get a better life, these propaganda ministers gradually obeyed.

The Department of Propaganda and Consolation of the Ming Dynasty appointed some decent or prestigious poor people as the leaders of the new village community, and distributed production materials to farmers so that they could produce by themselves.The Chinese who came to Xuanweisi set up plantations, new farms and even handmade workshops, which shows that the arrival of people is a driving force for local social change and the progress of the times.

After the arrival of the Daming Global Fleet, they did not receive as grand a welcome as Luzon. There are not too many Chinese in these places, but it is still very good to do some business accordingly, especially to replenish the needed fleet supplies, so that the fleet can take over The next voyage is still carried out with a full load of supplies.

In fact, the most important thing is that, as the ruler of this great empire, Bai Mingxiu really went to see with his own eyes how the remote corners of the empire actually functioned.The Department of Propaganda and Consolation in Southeast Asia must be inferior to the local provinces of Ming Dynasty, not as prosperous, but Bai Mingxiu can also see good potential.

He has seen early Chinese pioneers come here in these places, and believes that more people will be attracted in the future.

"We are always influenced by the old ideas. People say that the Chinese settle down and relocate. Our farming people of the Han nationality are tied to the land. Naturally, we don't want to go out, and we don't have the tendency to emigrate. But I In the era when I was born, Chinese people were expanding to the whole world. Some people yearned for the living environment of the so-called developed countries, and some people worked hard in developing countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America. For survival and development, the hard work and resilience of the Chinese There is no doubt. If we do not emphasize the hometown complex and resettle the land in the publicity channels, but emphasize our hard work, bravery, courage to try and explore, it is actually a very subtle hint that can urge more people to come out Right." Bai Mingxiu thought so.

Bai Mingxiu walked the streets and alleys of these emerging colonial cities, and even went to the jungles and villages to observe these places at close range. With a new understanding, he will also understand how to digest these areas in the future and make them truly in China. There are some new views and interesting ideas in the Daming territory under the cultural circle.

The diplomat Liang Haisheng was beside Bai Mingxiu, and said: "It is amazing to watch these places develop little by little, and sometimes I really feel a cold sweat for His Majesty the Emperor, our country is so vast. , has become the largest empire in the world in ancient and modern China and abroad. Apart from the development of the local provinces, His Majesty has not given up on other places. If you really want to manage such a large country well, it is a terrifying thing to think about."

Liang Haisheng didn't know that the fleet commander Wang Kai beside him was His Majesty the Emperor himself.He was just trying to make friends with his colleagues on this trip to build a good relationship, but he didn't expect that the emperor himself was listening.

Bai Mingxiu said in a somewhat "rebellious" way: "It is impossible to expect the emperor to govern such a large country well. The emperor also relies on thousands of civil servants who are willing to dedicate themselves to the country and work hard in all walks of life. Ordinary people can make this country good."

Liang Haisheng was quite surprised that this rear admiral, who had been entrusted with important tasks by the emperor and whose name he had never heard before, did not open his mouth to praise the emperor like others.

He smiled: "That's true, but many things originated from His Majesty. Before that, how many Ming people really realized their relationship with the country? Many people only have Confucian integrity, But they don’t recognize the true meaning of the country. Your Majesty has taught the whole people that the meaning of the country’s existence is to protect and lead the people, and the people are also obliged to contribute to the country. This is the dialectic in our philosophy of Marne. "

Bai Mingxiu also smiled: "Ambassador Liang, you have learned well."

Liang Haisheng said: "Teacher Ma's theory is really enlightening. However, there are some things that I really can't fully agree with, such as the equality of all nations in the world. The more I serve as a diplomat of Ming Dynasty, the more inevitable it will be. A sense of superiority. We are also colonizing, but what we leave to the colony is construction, culture, and opportunities for future development. We have proved that the Chinese and the natives can coexist. But look at those on the boat who are begging every day How many crimes have the Westerners who are at peace with us committed in the colonies? They bully those who are weaker than them, but they are obedient like dogs when we are strong. When dealing with such a nation, I always You must feel that our Chinese nation is far superior to them."

Bai Mingxiu nodded, and he said: "I think so too. Probably our nation's civilization has never been cut off. We have accumulated all the necessary sources for the development of human civilization from history. We may not be perfect, but we are kind Tolerant and full of courage, we will grow through setbacks."

Liang Haicheng smiled happily: "Commander, you are capable! So, I think, one day, Daming will conquer the whole world."
