Daming One Piece

Chapter 225 Ambition and strength (first update, please subscribe)
Matalam is a powerful country in this era!

At least the powerhouse over the Malay Archipelago.

At this time, the powerful country on the Malay Peninsula is Burma, while on the Malay Archipelago, there are many heroes. It is said that there are heroes, but in fact, they are the Malayan Sultan, Aceh Sultan, and Banten. Wang Sudan country, as for other small countries and small states, it is not worth mentioning at all.

From the names of these states, we can see their identities.Once upon a time, no matter in Sultan Dara or Java, the local people basically believed in Buddhists or local primitive religions. Of course, some people believed in Hinduism, but very few.

Around the twelfth century, Tianfang maritime merchants did business and settled in the local area. In the next two to three hundred years, they were just maritime merchants. At most, some Tianfang maritime merchants became officials of the local city-state through bribery and marriage. , basically the same nature as the Pu family, that is, for trade.Corresponding to this is the limited spread of Tianfang Sect in the local area, but the believers are basically just those sea merchants and their families.

After they gained a firm foothold in the local area, these outsiders either took advantage of the war to establish themselves as kings, or overthrew the old master directly, and then they destroyed Buddha statues, temples, and killed monks, just like they did in India, Central Asia, and The Western Regions do the same thing.

They arrived in a strange land as merchants. When they were weak, they were docile, tame, humble and peace-loving, but in fact they just hibernated there, waiting for their opportunity when they were stronger. When they come, they will immediately tear off their disguise, and cut their swords at those who have treated them well.

Whether it is in Daming or in Malay.

Just like the Sultanate on the Malay Archipelago at this time, once upon a time, their ancestors were maritime merchants from Tianfang, just like the Pu family in Quanzhou, except that the former became the rulers of the Malay states, and the Pu family passed They betrayed the royal family of Zhao Song, who had been so kind to them, in exchange for glory and wealth.

For all this, Shi Yiwen is of course very clear, and, in the plan to conquer the South China Sea, those sultan countries are regarded by him as a greater threat than the Dutch and the Spaniards.

"My lord, in fact, it is very easy for these Sudanese kings to submit to the Celestial Dynasty. You only need to give the official letter to the ministers and add the gold and red cards from the imperial court, and it is enough for them to submit to the Celestial Dynasty. There is no need to go on a long journey. Your Excellency The most difficult thing is the Dutch who are entrenched on the island of Java. In addition to Batavia, the Dutch also set up a business station in Banten Sultan. Overall, we all enjoy the treatment of a country within a country. The problem of the South China Sea, to put it bluntly, is still a problem of the Dutch. As long as the Dutch are driven away, those sultans will definitely submit to us."

After thinking for a while, Fang Kongzhao sincerely expressed his thoughts along the way. In fact, this trip to the South China Sea gave him a very deep understanding of the countries in the South China Sea. While the natives are lazy, they also feel the influence of Daming in the local area.

"After all, Daming in the South China Sea is a real kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty, but every country admires Huaxia. The government only needs to make use of it a little, and it can take the initiative to give up a large area of ​​land to the Celestial Dynasty like the Nantianmen, like the Sultan of Johor."

"Give it up?"

A disdainful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Shi Yiwen's mouth, but he asked noncommittally:

"Mr. Fang should also know what the Pu family did at the end of the Song Dynasty, right?"

Hearing the word "Pu's family", Fang Kongzhao was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"Your Excellency is worried about raising tigers?"

Frowning, Fang Kongzhao said again.

"As long as those chieftains submit to us, they shouldn't be able to make waves!"

"Do you think they will be willing to submit to us?"

Shi Yiwen sat back in the chair while talking.

"Ambitious, it also depends on strength, right? The Dutch can occupy Batavia with just a thousand people, let alone us, even if they are unwilling, it is nothing more than a fly shaking a tree, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. "

"Oh, it's irrelevant to the overall situation? Why do you see it?"

Shi Yiwen asked with interest.

"First of all, since I entered the South China Sea, the local states have repeatedly shown us goodwill, and even the Netherlands hopes to be able to repair with the Chinese Empire, but whether it is the state or the Dutch, the fundamental reason why they take the initiative It is still based on the awe of the Celestial Dynasty. Of course, Tubang hopes to use the power of the Celestial Empire to prevent the Netherlands and other red barbarians from encroaching on them, while the Europa people have always been seeking wealth. And we control all kinds of goods from the Celestial Empire. Given their nature, they have no choice but to do so, otherwise they absolutely do not want to offend us. Of course, we must drive away the red barbarians entrenched in various parts of the South China Sea, and what those red barbarians are most taboo about now is that the Chinese government supports the various states .”

"so?"

"So as long as we drive away the local red barbarians and replace them, the local natives will not pose any threat to me. Apart from strength, the most important thing is that the local natives have long been in awe of the Celestial Dynasty. With their awe , and with a little trickery, those so-called sultans are nothing more than mud bodhisattvas standing there!"

Fang Kongzhao said firmly.During more than a year in Beigang Xuanwei Department, Fang Kongzhao had an understanding of the word "world" that he had never had before, although in the past he also learned about the world outside the Central Plains through Western books and nationalities. But he never thought that that world was so close to Daming, nor did he think that the world outside the Central Plains would be so wonderful.

The expansion of the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal, and the competition between the South China Sea and even the Indian states, even let him see the taste of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States disputes to win the world.

It is also because of this that he who was just dawdling in the past immediately regained his spirits, not only because this is an unprecedented world, but more importantly, this strange world made him instinctively smell a kind of crisis, An unprecedented crisis.

In order to understand this world that he had heard about but actually knew nothing about, he not only tried his best to understand the basic situation of European countries through various channels, but also never forgot to collect a lot of information from all over the world for future use. Analyze the relationship between the parties.A new world unfolded in front of his eyes, which made his sense of crisis even stronger.

In his view, this crisis has never been seen before, even far surpassing any crisis described in history books.

"My lord, even if there is a change in the land of the South China Sea, it is just a disease of ringworm and scabies. Right now, there is an unprecedented change. The red barbarians are the confidant of my celestial dynasty!"
