Chapter 860 Chinese and Savages

The sound of anchoring was accompanied by the gongs and drums on the docks, and the song of "Praise of the King of Ming" was heard. At this time, the shore was filled with people coming to pick up the car, including members of the Li family of the Southern Tang royal family and the Yang family of the Yang family, the civil and military officials of the Southern Tang Kingdom, the great Taoists of the Tiandaoism, and the wealthy merchants of the Xianglingang Chamber of Commerce, most of them were gentry from the Ming Dynasty, and even in the Southern Tang Dynasty, they were protected by the Ming court!

There are also some indigenous people dressed in strange clothes. They are all figures from the Tusi family near Xianglin Port. Now they are looking at warships that are descending huge sails with fear and fear. So many warships are full of artillery and warriors. The entourages of the saint of the Ming Dynasty alone can probably destroy the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, right? Not to mention these insignificant savage Tusi.

The officials stationed in Southern Tang and a team of Ming Marines who served as guards arrived at the dock early. At this time, they were all energetic, as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Of course, it is a very comfortable job to station in Xianglin Port in Southern Tang, and there is no danger. The war in the Southern Tang Dynasty (between the natives) has nothing to do with them. They just need to defend the Naval Fortress of Xianglin Port. However, there are few opportunities for promotion, and this time it is a rare opportunity to see Tianyan. As long as the saint leaves safely, they will definitely make a lot of credit...

In addition to these people, there are also many people onlookers in Xianglingang, all dressed up in Han people. Most of them are Han people, and only a few women are short and dark, following the tall Han men, stretching their necks to look curiously.

At this time, Chen Dexing had already gone to the deck with his accompanying civil and military officials, concubines and King Tang Li Yanguo. Looking at the scene in front of him, he suddenly turned around and asked Li Yanguo Road: "Nanshan, who are those people?"

He raised his hand to point at the onlookers who were isolated by the Southern Tang army on the shore.

Li Yanguo looked up and replied, "Sages, most of them are Han people. They were moved from Shandong by their ministers. They are now from Tang."

Chinese people, this is a title that has disappeared for a long time in China. This "Chinese people" does not mean "Chinese people". Instead, it symbolizes a kind of identity lower than that of doctors and savages. It is probably equivalent to a citizen of ancient Greece and ancient Rome.

In ancient Greece and Rome, not everyone could be a citizen. This citizenship also symbolizes a certain privilege and a higher level.

Of course, it is not for nothing to be superior to others. Whether it is citizens or Chinese people, they are all linked to military service. In China, after the Spring and Autumn Period, as the scale of war expanded, the Chinese people joined the army and the rules of the game of savages watching the show became no longer applicable. All the nations registered all the people regardless of their country and country, and mobilized for the first time when they encountered war. In this way, the country's force no longer relied on the Chinese people, and the corresponding rights of the Chinese people naturally gradually disappeared.

However, now, the Chinese people have long disappeared for thousands of years and have appeared in the tide of China's expansion led by the Ming Dynasty.

"What are the benefits of being a Tang people?" Chen Dexing was not in a hurry to get off the boat, but was interested in asking Li Yanguo about the privileges of the Tang people.

Of course, it is beneficial to be a Chinese. If not, who can follow warlords like Li Yanguo to Nanfan from afar? Can't farm well in Shandong?

"The benefits are actually not many. That is, everyone can get a piece of residential land in any of the four cities of Xinluo, Angkor, Xianglin and Shuizhenla, and you can also get a hundred acres of land outside the city. Both residential land and land are tax-free."

A piece of residential land in the city plus a hundred acres of land outside the city is free and tax-free! Such a thing is unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty. However, for the "Chinese people" who are going out to explore, it is nothing at all, it is the most basic treatment.

"In addition, males of the Chinese can serve as soldiers, officials, and officials. Regardless of male and female, all those who are over seven years old and under thirteen years old can enter the Chinese studies to study and practice martial arts without tuition fees. There are two meals a day, which is also free..."

Being a soldier and becoming an official is naturally a privilege for the Chinese people, and savages can only be a chieftain. As for free education, it is a good treatment. Not to mention the common people in the Ming Dynasty, even the children of the nobles of the Sages and the nobles have to pay tuition fees. There are many local people in the Ming Dynasty, and the number of young and young people at school age is more than 20 million. The cost of providing free compulsory education is too high. Therefore, it cannot be achieved for the time being. The number of Chinese people in the Southern Tang Dynasty is less than 300,000, and the number of school children of appropriate age is only 100,000 or 20,000. Naturally, it can be free.

Li Yanguo then said: "Also, all Chinese people can hold weapons such as swords, spears, armor, crossbows, muskets. However, savages are not allowed to hold swords with a length of more than half a foot, guns and spears with a length of more than three feet, armor, bows with a bow of more than five pounds, crossbows and muskets. Moreover, savages are not allowed to hold any weapons in the city. In addition, savages are not rude to the Chinese people, otherwise the Chinese people can kill them on the spot, which is not a violation of the king's law!"

What? Killing savages does not violate the law of the king!? Is this really a Chinese? Isn’t it the Heavenly Dao Warrior under Xiao Ai’s woman?

"Killing on the spot? Is this too fierce?" Yang Po'er, who was following Chen Dexing, interjected something. She was qualified to interrupt. She has now been promoted to the Duke of the Female County of Yidu and the patriarch of the Yang Family of Yidu.

Li Yanguo smiled bitterly and said, "Cousin, you don't know that the natives of the Southern Bible have always been fierce and do not obey Wang Hua. They like to be brave and ruthless, but do not like to produce. They are all troublemakers, and there are many people! If the Chinese people do not have the power to kill them, these troublemakers will definitely rely on the crowd to fight and are not afraid of us!"

Yes, how can a dignified conquer not make people afraid? If others are not afraid, 300,000 people can rule three million people? There seems to be nothing wrong with this human rights depriving them of!

Moreover, the temperament and nature of the Han people are relatively gentle after all. They cannot be compared with Japanese samurai. In the eyes of these natives, reasoning is easy to bully, and gentleness is weak! If you draw your sword to kill people at any time, that is to be arrogant and not offensive...

Chen Dexing thought about it and thought that it made sense what Li Yanguo did. The Southern Tang Dynasty was a vassal state, not a province of the Ming Dynasty. Chen Dexing had no need to worry about whether the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty could kill savages.

Thinking of this, Chen Dexing nodded and said softly: "The people of China should have the majesty of the people! They left their motherland and traveled across the ocean to this place. They were unfamiliar with their lives and were surrounded by natives. If they were not fierce, how could they suppress the savages and protect their own country? The beautiful country of the Southern Tang Dynasty must be protected by these 300,000 people. How could they be more cruel?"

Listening to his words, Li Yanguo's face relaxed and he was silent for a moment. Then he said: "In addition to these real interests, the people of Tang have the power to discuss politics. All the people of a country can hear about the politics of a country, and there is no false statement. Moreover, all the men have the right to elect city councillors."

People think that scarcity is precious! When Li Yanguo was in Shandong, he didn't think that the Han people were valuable. After he went to the Southern Fan, he felt that the Chinese people were too expensive. A country with a huge size of only 300,000, of which only 120,000 were male. Moreover, these 300,000 people still "do not leave your master here, and there will be places for your masters to stay." There are many Chinese countries around him, like the Southern Tang Dynasty, who are open to attract "Chinese people" to settle there!

Li Yanguo also said: "In fact, the power of this country is not unique to the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Nanxia (the country of the Xiagui family) in the south, Luzon and Nanjing (the eastern part of Borneo and the fief of the Gundam family), and the western part of...the Song Dynasty, are all the rules."

There are many unreasonable people! Among them, there are two remaining veins of the Song Dynasty, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Luzon. Now they are all "Wudang Sects" and are the Wudang Sects! They treat a few Chinese people as treasures. All of them allow Chinese people to kill rude savages... The savage offends the Chinese people is guilty, and there is nothing to say. Just kill with one knife! Don't dare to chop people? Even if you don't dare to chop people, you can still be a Chinese. Go back to the Ming Dynasty and farm honestly!

Li Yanguo seemed to think that it was a bit bad to rule with such high pressure, and sighed softly: "Sage, there is no way for our countries to do this... We are all inferior to the masses, and we must also discredit human culture, cut off human heritage, destroy human religion, and change human customs. The governments we do cannot be praised for being good. If we do not suppress them strictly, we may be in trouble with the destruction of the country."

His words were a bit heavy. On the one hand, it was explained, and on the other hand, it also meant to complain. Founding a country overseas is of course good in the long run. However, it is good for the descendants of the Li family, but for Li Yanguo, it is endless troubles. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like walking on thin ice. It is like facing the abyss.

Chen Dexing seemed to have not heard him, but just looked at the prosperous port of Xianglin: "This is great. You can establish a country and establish politics outside of China. This has been happening for almost a thousand years. Moreover, you founded a country overseas this time and did not lose the true nature of China. Instead, you have not followed the customs, but changed customs and educated the barbarians with Chinese etiquette. What is the point of cutting down a few savages? As long as you can turn a large area of ​​land like Nanfan into a part of the Chinese world, even if you cut down millions of savages, there is nothing.

Nanshan, let your people feel at ease and boldly cut! If those savages can really cause any major trouble, I will send a large army to help!"

He paused, turned around and looked at Li Yanguo seriously, "Don't your hands be soft! Just in your lifetime, you cut down all the people you should cut down! Our generation is all from corpses and blood, and you are not afraid of cutting people at all! So, don't leave this for your descendants, let's do it all."

Li Yanguo bowed to Chen Dexing: "If you have the words of a saint, I will be relieved! When I am alive, I will always ask the Southern Tang Dynasty to enter China for thousands of miles, and I will never give the savages a chance to turn over... I will never have it!"

After all, I have seen countless killing figures, neither Chen Dexing nor Li Yanguo cares too much about human life. The people of the Southern Band are in great danger when they meet them!

"It's really Saint Chen is here!"

At this moment, less than three miles away from the military dock of the Nanyang Fleet where Chen Dexing got off the ship. Next to the window on the second floor of a restaurant, Wen Tianxiang put down the telescope in his hand and muttered softly.

Judging from his current dress, you can probably know how the scholar-officials in "Lisong" are reasonable now. As a scholar-official, a dress is indispensable in Confucian uniform and a head is also covered with a squid head. It seems to be similar to when he was a talented man in Lin'an in the past, but there is a three-foot long sword hanging on his belt! Seeing the wear of the handle and scabbard, you know that this sword is often pulled out and played with. Wen Dazhao Zhuangyuan is not "a pen like a knife" but a "sword". In addition to the sword, he also has a grenade pistol, a gunpowder jar and a bullet box on his belt... Sword and pistol are the necessary things for the scholar-officials in "Lisong" right now.

This is also impossible. The Han people on the territory of "Lisong" were also incomparable to the masses. Moreover, the methods of "Lisong" to open up borders and open up lands are quite violent. They not only kill countless people, but also cut off people's culture and inheritance. The matter of burning books, burying scholars, killing monks and occupying savage land has never stopped since they moved west to Dali!

Not to mention the savages under the rule of "Lisong", even Wen Tianxiang, a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, seemed to be a bit too much. He had a dispute with his teacher Jiang Wanli for this, but Jiang Wanli could not hear Wen Tianxiang's "scholar's views". In Jiang Wanli's view, there is no difference between the "Lisong" and the Jurchens of the past, Mongolia. They both took away other people's powers and ruled the great country with young people. Don't think about benevolence, righteousness and morality. It is justified to use swords and muskets to educate the barbarians.

There is no need to think about things that convince people. It is a more realistic way to make barbarians afraid of the people of the country. Another way to allow "Lisong" to exist safely is to put your own position and adjust your relationship with the Ming Empire.

Since "Li Song" must focus on suppressing the savages inside, the country will have no power to fight against the behemoth of the Ming Empire.

It is inevitable to seek peace and surrender to the Ming Dynasty! This is also the purpose of Wen Tianxiang coming to Xianglingang. Jiang Wanli wanted Wen Tianxiang to be a lobbyist and persuade Chen Dexing to "reason Song" a way out.

"Brother Wenshan, are you sure?" Wen Tianxiang did not come alone. Jiang Wanli's son Jiang Hao also put on makeup and became a businessman with him. He came to Xianglingang in concealment.

"How isn't it?" Wen Tianxiang looked back and looked at Jiang Hao, who was shaking the paper fan. He didn't know whether to dispel the sultry surrounding him or relieve his irritability. "It's just a copy of Jizi Country. Chen Dexing has sealed so many countries. How could he care about the 'Lisong'?"

"But our Song Dynasty is the orthodox world after all..."

"As long as you call me a minister, it's not," Wen Tianxiang shook his head and sighed, "In the Western Zhou Dynasty, someone would treat Song State and Jizi Korea as orthodox? Yizhai (Jiang Hao's name), let's go and see Chen Dexing now! If you get things done earlier, I can travel around the countries again." (To be continued.)
