The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Chapter 2178 World Situation, Ming Dynasty’s Economic Recovery 【3】

And on land, it was equally lively.

On the Indo-China Peninsula, Ming Dynasty has three major factions.One is the chieftain of Burma, which has been forcibly annexed by the Mughal Empire. The other is the Kingdom of Siam (Thailand), a subsidiary state of the Ming Dynasty, which also fell into the hands of the army of the Mughal Empire.The third is the land of Annan (Vietnam) occupied by Ming Dynasty, and the atmosphere is becoming increasingly tense.

Due to the ambitious and continuous expansion of the Mughal Empire, now the Ming Dynasty and the Mughal Empire have developed from facing each other across the Himalayas in the past to now being on the verge of daggers and directly bordering the Mughal Empire.

Especially in the recent period, the Mughal Empire instigated rebellion and took in the three great rebel generals of the Ming Dynasty, the god-level shit-stirring sticks-Hong Chengchou, Geng Jingzhong, and Shang Kexi. Salim also canonized the three of them as generals under his command. The three commanded the troops to drill, sharpen their knives, and prepare to attack Annan, the territory of Ming Dynasty.

All of this intensified the conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Mughal Empire.

The two countries are already on the verge of breaking out, and they have to make a move.

But Yan Song has to consider more than just this point.

At this time, he is holding a high-level staff meeting in 410 to discuss the countermeasures against the Mughal Empire.

"...One of my Ming's major weaknesses is that foreign trade is now prosperous, and nine out of ten traded goods need to transit through the Indian Ocean controlled by the Mughal Empire. Once a full-scale war with the Mughal Empire begins, my Ming's sea trade will inevitably be controlled by the Mughal Empire. Mughal Empire. Once Salim of Mughal prohibits foreign merchants from trading with us through the Indian Ocean, we will suffer a lot in a short period of time.”

Cifu Shen Shixing slowly expressed his worries.

Shen Shixing was very experienced in seeking the country, and what he said represented the views of many courtiers.

The courtiers nodded.

Yan Song also nodded.

From ancient times to modern times, every time there was a conflict between China and India, one problem that could not be avoided was that India relied on its superior geographical environment to have a strong control over the Indian Ocean.Once the Mughal Empire also used its own advantages this time to cut off the sea trade route between Ming and Europe, Ming would suffer great losses in a short period of time.

The importance of trade to Ming Dynasty is self-evident.

Although the people of Ming Dynasty are getting richer and their consumption power is increasing day by day, there is no doubt that the huge income from trade routes is still the main source of income supporting Daming's finances.

If you fight against the Mughal Empire and the trade line is cut off by the enemy, the loss will be as great as the game Age of Empires when the enemy breaks through the trade line and slaughters the trade carriages.

Yan Song is also a little embarrassed.

The Mughal Empire was a big empire, completely different from Japan, Goryeo, Luzon, and Sumatra that the Ming conquered in the past.

Even if Ming had the most powerful navy on earth in this era, it would be difficult enough to completely block the coastlines on both sides of the Mughal Empire.

Mr. Yan Ge always makes decisions before acting. After thinking for a long time, his brain is wide open, and he has a sudden whim...

Huh?

The Mughal Empire promoted Islam, and the rulers were descendants of Mongolian aristocrats. Is it possible...

Mission to the past, let them Indians convert to my Ming religion?

For example... the White Lotus Sect?

Thousands of years ago, Buddhism spread from India to China, and now, Mr. Yan Ge is going to bring the native Chinese religion of White Lotus (a variant of Pure Land Buddhism) back to India to convert them!

Can this idea be realized in history?

can!

Because the Indians of later generations, as we all know, do not believe in Islam at all.

In fact, the heyday of Islam in India was only during the rule of the Mughal Empire. It finally reached its peak, and then the Islamic forces in India (bdde) declined all the way, and were finally driven out of India.

Indians subsequently converted to Hinduism.Islam instead became the object of persecution by Hindus.

India-Pakistan is now constantly fighting, the main reason behind it is not

India believes in Hinduism and Pakistan believes in Islam? In the partition plan of India and Pakistan, the British country deliberately grouped Hindus together according to religion, and grouped Muslims into another country?

The seeds of hatred for the India-Pakistan conflict were actually planted hundreds of years ago.

Since Indians can convert from Islam to Hinduism, why can't Mao convert to White Lotus?

Yan Song has a big brain...

The supreme ruler of the White Lotus Sect, the saint, is now Yan Song's woman, hehe.

(Yan Song still doesn't know that Tang Lian'er just gave birth to a daughter for him in Hohhot)

The stronger the power of the White Lotus Sect, the stronger the power of Yan Song, wouldn't it?

Buddhism, a religion that has been abandoned by India for thousands of years, now puts old wine in new bottles and sells it back to India in the name of the White Lotus Sect...haha, thinking about it makes people very angry.

It is not difficult for Yan Song to imagine that under the leadership of Tang Lian'er, the White Lotus Sect sneaked into various Subas in India (that is, the provinces, the name of the Mughal Empire), developed the lower-level people in India into fanatical believers of the White Lotus Sect, and finally rioted against the Sahara from within. Lim's reign.

Will Emperor Salem explode in anger?

Ha ha.

Yan Song did what he said.

He immediately asked Emperor Jiajing for leave on the grounds that he wanted to go to Hohhot, an important grassland town, to inspect the border defense situation.Go to the southwestern frontier of Ming Dynasty again to consolidate the southwestern frontier defense of Ming Dynasty.

Jiajing quickly approved Yan Song's tour plan, and greatly appreciated Yan Song's diligent governance and model worker demeanor.

At this time, Jiajing was forced to announce the [Edict of Equal Rights] and [New Tax Law], and the class conflicts within the Ming Empire were greatly alleviated.

The merchant class was very satisfied with the new powers they had gained, and the market order and foreign trade order were restored normally. The strike ended, and the migrant workers ended their strike and returned to their land and factories. The students also ended their strike and returned to their respective universities to continue their classes.

In a word, the original order of Ming Dynasty was quickly restored.

In particular, Ming's taxes have returned to normal.After the merchants ended the strike, the merchandise trade, which had been held back for more than half a year, immediately returned to normal, and even more than doubled in retaliation. Taxes increased rapidly, and the monthly fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty increased to 3000 million taels.Not only can it easily pay for various expenses, but it can also repay the previous arrears of Jiajing.
