My Daming New Empire

But the atmosphere here is different, but Yili was afraid that Zhu Zhanji would be angry at first, seeing that he agreed, he couldn't believe that Zhu Zhanji would agree.

After sending him away, Zheng He said displeasedly: "These natives don't understand etiquette, how can the female relatives attend the banquet, if something happens and offends the nobleman..."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said with a smile: "The so-called do as the Romans do, that's all. Since there is such a custom here, I agree, so it doesn't matter. What's more, there are servants and maids around the concubines, who would dare to rush? Duke of Dian Don't worry, Gu is not that old-fashioned, so I will give you a task now..."

He stopped complaining, and quickly said: "Your Highness, please tell me." "You are familiar with this place. There are hundreds of small city-states here. You can get dizzy just looking at the information. Please sort it out for me. The location is standardized on the map. Those who take refuge in my Ming Dynasty are painted yellow, those who love my Ming Dynasty are light yellow, neutral green, and those who don’t think highly of my Ming Dynasty are red.”

Without a map, Zhu Zhanji couldn't form a real concept from the information, because the records at this time are too brief and deceitful.

For example, Kezhi Kingdom, in the records of Ming Dynasty, is Kezhi, or Gupanpan Kingdom.Also translated as Guozhen.Located in the southwest of the peninsula, traveling northwest from Little Gelan, it can be reached in a day and night with the wind.

This is still relatively easy to remember, and you can get a general orientation at a glance.

There are also many small countries that only record what neighboring countries are and who they are close to, but there is no detailed location record.

So even though Zhu Zhanji saw the introduction, he didn't know where it was.

After arranging this matter, the envoy of Delhi was announced to meet with him.

The Kochi people represent ordinary Indians. The lighter the skin, the higher the status, and they have obvious ethnic styles.

But the ethnicity in Delhi is more complicated. Although most of them are white, they do not belong to the same ethnic group.

Among them, there are Aryans, Slavs, Semites, Persians, Turks, and Mongols.

This is a hodgepodge country, and even the country's political system is a hodgepodge.

In the second year of Kaixi in the Song Dynasty, Qutb Aibak, the governor of Delhi who was ruled by the Gur dynasty of Afghanistan, established himself as the sultan of India and made Delhi his capital, marking the beginning of the Delhi Sultanate's rule of India.

First the Turks entered here, then the Arabs took over, and finally all kinds of people were integrated into the country.

The Arabic numerals and symbols familiar to outsiders were not invented by the Arabs, but by the people of Delhi, and they were only spread through the Arabs.

These people have only one thing in common, that is, they believe in the Green religion, and they have been able to firmly occupy this place for hundreds of years, relying on the same belief and the strong suppression of Hindus.

This can be said to be a dark period in Indian history. If it weren't for the Green Cult occupying India's holy land and the most fertile northern plains, Hindus would have wiped out Buddhism long ago.

In this respect, Green Cult saved Buddhism.

This is the same as Timur's defeat of the Ottoman Empire, which is tantamount to saving Europe in disguise.

At that time, if Timur had not defeated Ottoman, Ottoman would have destroyed the Byzantine Empire.

In the Battle of Nicoburg in the 29th year of Hongwu, the Ottoman Empire defeated the coalition forces of Hungary, France, Germany and other countries in one fell swoop. Nearly [-] crusaders were captured. Almost all were killed.

From then on, Europeans could only watch helplessly as the Ottoman Empire expanded and occupied the Balkan Peninsula, and the Byzantine Empire was at stake.

But at this time, the lame Timur moved westward and began to march towards the Ottoman Empire's lair.

In the first year of Yongle, Timur attacked the center of Ottoman.In the battle of Ankara, the Timurid army defeated the Ottoman army, and the monarch Bayezid was captured.

This incident temporarily saved the Byzantine Empire, which is equivalent to saving the whole of Europe, at least Eastern Europe.

The Delhi Sultanate has always been a vassal state of the Timur State in name, and many people who could not get along in the Timur State came here, which strengthened the strength of the Delhi State and made their political system look chaotic.

Chapter 40 Killing Unforgiven ([-]-character chapter)

The Timurid Empire is the descendant of the Western Chahatai Khanate. Under the iron hooves of the Mongols, the Turks succumbed for a long time, but the decline of Mongol power gave him a chance to develop rapidly.

Starting from the 12th year of Hongwu, Timur successively seized Persia and Afghanistan, and then captured the Mesopotamia.Hongwu conquered Khwarazm in 20 years, and 21 years later, he attacked the Kipchak Khanate many times, destroyed its capital, Saraibeker and other cities, and ruled Armenia and South Caucasus.

In the 30th year of Hongwu, he captured Delhi, the capital of the Delhi Sultanate, massacred more than 10 prisoners of war, and occupied northern India.

Today's Delhi Sultanate has completely become his vassal, and the unsatisfactory nobles who mixed in Timur's country can become the overlord when they arrive in Delhi Sultanate.

Mongols, Turks, big cannibals, Aryans, and Indians formed a complete food chain in this way.

Perhaps it cannot be said to be a food chain, but an ecological chain.

This law of the jungle where the weak prey on the strong has also directly affected the world's ecological awareness for 600 years.

Since Europeans have a sense of civilization, they have always been under the sense of equality of feudal lords. No matter how hard they fight, they have always followed their set of rules.

As long as the enemy admits defeat, they will not be exterminated. Marriage is used to form a kinship relationship in the upper class. The defeated enemy can use ransom to buy his life back.

But the Mongols made them realize the cruelty of the enemy. The greatest joy in their life is to kill the enemy, rob them of all their property, watch their relatives cry, ride their horses, and rape their wives and daughters. .

This retrogression and brutality of civilization directly affected the attitudes of Europeans towards aliens in the future. The massacres of Indians, Africans and Asians were all learned from the Mongols.

They have a set of rules for their own Europeans and a set of rules for others, which they learned from the Mongolian people.

Seeing these Delhiites, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help being distracted, thinking about how to correct this ideology.

He doesn't think that the jungle law of the jungle is a good set of rules. Like the Tang Dynasty, the Han nationality's integration of foreign races and the control of the thoughts of foreign races are really good rules.

Establishing a distinct hierarchy between Han people and foreign races does not completely block the channels for the bottom-level people to struggle to the top. This kind of social rules is more civilized and can promote social development.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Han nationality was more noble than people of other nationalities, but the Han nationality did not reject the promotion channel of other nationalities. At that time, many foreign nationalities could also become officials in the Tang Dynasty, but it was more difficult than the Han nationality.

When dealing with neighboring countries, as long as you accept my set of rules, I will recognize you and accept you.

So at that time, whether it was North Korea, Dongying, or Tubo, they all recognized the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty and regarded themselves as belonging to the country.

However, there were two policy mistakes in the Tang Dynasty, which led to the failure of this rule.

One is that the Tang Dynasty did not pay much attention to the control of technology and economy. No matter what advanced technology was given to the alien race, it led to the rapid development of the alien race.

At that time, North Korea, Dongying, Tubo, including the Arabs, all developed rapidly by relying on the advanced culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty.

The second is that the central government of the Tang Dynasty gave the Jiedushi too much military power, emphasizing military power over culture, resulting in a strong and weak support, and the control of the central government declined too quickly. In just 100 years, the imperial court almost lost control. Grassroots control.

In terms of the disparity in military power, the Tang Dynasty is far inferior to the Han Dynasty, but why is it that the Tang Dynasty is considered the most prosperous period of the Han nationality regardless of ancient and modern times?

This does not refer to the peak of national power, but mainly the peak of civilization!

The foundation of the Ming Dynasty today is better than that of the Tang Dynasty, because the Turks and Tubo in the early Tang Dynasty were very powerful and had serious troubles.

But today's Daming hardly has any enemies, and even the grassland people are now taken care of by Daming.

The only thing that can't compare now is the population...

Zhu Zhanji checked the records in the palace. In the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, the national census was more than 9000 million people, but by the Yuan Dynasty to the 11th year of the Yuan Dynasty, the national population was only less than 900 million people.

In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the national population check at that time was less than 200 million households, but there were too many hidden households at that time.In the 14th year of Hongwu, because of the wanton distribution of land by the Ming Dynasty, people hiding in the mountains came out of the mountains one after another. The census at this time was 100 million households.
