Tianzhu!

For the Ming Dynasty, this is a general term for the South Asian subcontinent. Here are Mughal, pseudo-Zhou, and southern territorial states. Naturally, Tianzhu became the general term here.

Like the Ming Dynasty, this place is also the birthplace of ancient human civilization. As early as 3000 BC, there were residents in the Indus River Basin, called the Dalubi Cha people, who were the earliest tribes formed in this area. The Dalubi Cha people used the good natural conditions of the Indus River Basin to produce developed agriculture and handicrafts and create splendid civilizations. However, with the Aryans moving south, the Dalubi Cha civilization was destroyed.

It was also from then on that time that Tianzhu was trapped in the process of conquest by outsiders. During the Aryan conquest, the caste system was established here, and the conquest of outsiders was further consolidated. Over the course of thousands of years, the descendants of the Darubis, who were more skinned, lived here as untouchables. They stormed the scorching sun and stormed the Han to farm like rain and worked on this land.

Aryans, Mongolians, outsiders have ruled here for thousands of years, or religious beliefs will change, but the caste system has not changed much.

More than twenty years ago, another group of conquerors crossed the snow-capped mountains and the rainforest to this land. They quickly conquered a large area of ​​land here. What's a little different is that this time, people from the East also introduced a new system.

Pleasing the barbarians and returning to Xia!

Almost while Zhu Xia was implementing this policy in Nanyang, under the leadership of the Zhou prime minister, the same and even more advanced measures were implemented here. Buddhist temples that once disappeared from this land once again emerged on this land. More and more natives learned "Mandarin" and actively abandoned the old customs.

For these natives, the real interests made them choose to follow new customs. Around the Qingming Festival, these natives who never worshiped their ancestors in the past and worshiped their ancestors according to the rules set by the government.

Burn, burn paper money...

It is almost no difference from Zhuxia.

At least to some extent, now, the customs and habits of many people here are no different from those of Zhuxia.

Zhou Guo…

Perhaps it is called the "Pseudo Zhou", but for any Ming people who came here to Liu, they can clearly feel that it seems that this place is more successful than Zhu Xia in "Pushing Yi Yi Returns to Xia". After all, most of the officials of the "Pseudo Zhou" are engaged in the traitors of the Qing Dynasty. With few servants and more, they really made another choice to maintain their rule. They issued a decree similar to the "Shaving Order", forcing people here to change their customs. Of course, there are not no exceptions - the untouchables do not need to comply.

This seemingly interesting decree successfully tempted many Brahmins to change their customs, otherwise they would be with the untouchables. New customs and habits had to be established quickly. Of course, even so, in the Puppet Zhou, the first-class people were always golden-skinned "Xia people".

However, even the "Xia people" are divided into two types. One is the "Xia people" who came here with the Wu family and their families who came here from Yunnan over mountains and ridges. The other is the "Xia people" often claiming to be "Ming people". They came here from the Ming Dynasty more than ten years ago. They enjoyed the privileges of "Xia people" but did not need to serve in the military like ordinary "Xia people".

Perhaps this is also the reason why many Ming people are willing to come here. After all, they also need to serve in Zhuxia. Only here can they not need to serve. Compared with Zhuxia, this place may be a better choice to some extent.

"Rely on parents at home and friends at home."

With the understanding of this sentence, these wise people who make a living overseas can be said to have a profound understanding. When they are overseas, their friends are often their closest dependence.

"Ming people hang together."

Even in the pseudo-Zhou, this sentence had been spread since unknown. The Ming people not only gathered together, but also these Ming people who made a living here also formed their own chamber of commerce. Just after the Qingming Festival, the owners and merchants who came to the banquet at the door of the "Mingxiang Chamber of Commerce" came to the chamber of commerce again. However, compared with the past, the smiles on their faces seemed somewhat reluctant, and even their eyebrows seemed a little solemn.

At the same time, a tense atmosphere was also filled with the hall merchant Dong's meeting hall.

Among these business owners of the chamber of commerce, there are not only famous farmers and large merchants with millions of dollars. Without exception, they are all wise people. They came here to make a living by penniless, and then they accumulated a considerable family business through their own efforts.

Compared with the years when they first arrived in India to open up land, these people who had suffered countless hardships now all look very blessed, and they can't even see the wind and frost they had encountered.

However, at this time, most of these people who have experienced many storms look sad.

Zhao Guoliang, who was sitting in front of him, looked at the expressions of everyone and spoke.

"Everyone knows the current situation. Seeing that Delhi is going to fight here, according to the current situation, it is estimated that it will not last long, and both sides will fight..."

"That's not the case. Several Zhou people in my village brought documents to the army to work. I guess if I want to fight this time, I will definitely be very good."

"Awesome? I don't care whether it's amazing or not. You said, what does it have to do with our farming? Now, they use the excuse that we use slaves to hand over the people..."

Zhou Deqi was talking here, and turned his head and said to a fellow villager beside him.

"Brother Hu, I heard that you just bought a batch of manpower this year and are very diligent in speaking. Among them, there should be many people from the Tianfang Sect."

"Well, Brother Zhou, you don't know that those people were bought from the Maratha people in the south. When we bought it, we didn't know where the Maratha people got the goods. In fact, for us, everyone uses the same thing, it's just about doing farm work. Isn't that the one who works diligently and lazily punishes the one who works lazily."

Hu Lianhe said in a very upset.

"We have used people like this for decades. Now, it's better. Aurangzebu let us let go of people in just one sentence. Isn't this a daydream? Not to mention, it's just that when we bought those people, we didn't know how much money we spent. Who would compensate us for this money? Will Aurangzebu pay us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar of echoes around him, and some people even said that Aurangzeb should go to settle accounts with the Matala people.

Over the past decade, the south has established a fixed trade network between the Matala people who have resisted Aurangzeb and the Zhou Kingdom. They transported the slaves plundered by war to the Zhou Kingdom, and exchanged weapons from the Zhou Kingdom to resist Aurangzeb and plunder more slaves through war. For the farmers of the Zhou Kingdom, they needed slaves from the south to cultivate land for them.

But now, this slave trade has angered Aurangzeb, not only because of the beliefs of slaves, but more importantly, the slave trade has greatly increased Aurangzeb's enemies, weapons from the Zhou Kingdom and the Xia people, and armed the Matala people.

"Isn't that the reason? Aurangzebu doesn't go to trouble the Matala people, but comes to find us. Isn't this picking up soft persimmons and pinching them..."

"However, it is not certain that Wu Zhou is a soft persimmon. After all, Wu Zhou has sent all national troops this time. I guess Aurangzeb wants to defeat Wu Zhou, which is also a lingering moment."

"That's not. He, Aurangzeb, has been defeated repeatedly, why don't he know how to get along well?"

"Hey, that old boy, the scars I was beaten a few years ago just cleared, and this time I forgot to hurt!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a warning from the other side that he spoke up in anger.

"This time is different from the past. Didn't he, Aurangzebu, say that he wanted to fight a jihad? We should just use their people to rescue those people. If he raises a million troops to fight, even if Wu Zhou barely blocks them, don't forget that our farms and other things are all outside the city. We can hide in the city, but what about the slaves in the family? What should they do then? Will they give them to Aurangzebu?"

With such a warning to him, the people present couldn't help but look heartbroken. Zhou Deqi's face turned pale even more "silly".

This time Aurangzebu raised troops for slaves. If all the slaves outside the city were taken away, they would not be the ones who lost them.

Therefore, just after the man finished speaking, Zhao Guoliang, who was sitting in the hall, immediately asked in a heavy tone.

"Hey, if this is the case, things will be really hard to handle."

"Not that, not to mention other people, but everyone here, together, there are not more than 100,000 people, and there are tens of thousands of people. How can so many people be transported to the city? Besides, the city guards cannot let so many people enter the city."

"Hey, I don't think it's important to win this time or not. We're done anyway..."

The other person said angrily.

"Then... it's better to do this. How about the villain sending this group of people to Nanyang? Change it with the ones in Nanyang?"

Zhou Deqi, who was pale, said while wiping his cold sweat.

"If it were from Nanyang, Aurangzeb would never be able to speak."

"Hmph, your abacus is so smart. If it is that simple, that would be great. Besides, there are 100 or 80 people who can change with you, and so many people, who can change with you? You can really remember the replacement."

Zhao Guoliang immediately vetoed.

"But, then, what should we do now? Could it be that we are really waiting to die one by one?"

Zhou Deqi then said.

"Is the slaves in the Indian country a slave, and aren't the slaves in the South? What's the big deal?"

"What's the big deal? This is called the East-Direction of the Shui River. Sending the Indian slaves to the South China Sea, wouldn't it lead Aurangzebu to the South China Sea?"

"He Aurangzeb wants to go to Southeast Asia, so he must have the ability..."

"This method of causing trouble to the east cannot be used!"

Zhao Guoliang made a decision directly. Then he warned the other people present in a serious tone.

"Don't forget, we are wise people, we cannot be traitors. For the sake of our own interests, we will lead the disaster to the east of the Xia Dynasty. This is a traitor!"

When everyone scolded Zhao Guoliang, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they responded in a slight manner.

However, their faces still looked extremely ugly, and of course they were also secretly calculating how to deal with this matter.

In fact, this slave trade between India and South China began several years ago. Because of some traditions of the Indian religion, vendors could buy a large number of slaves from India, many of which were "bitters" who were regarded as ominous people by India. Because of their cheapness, slave traders often loaded these slaves on ships and transported them to South China Sea for sale. Then, they purchased the same number of indigenous slaves from the Nanxiang Islands and transported them back to Wuzhou for sale. After all, compared with those indigenous natives with dark skin, the indigenous people in South China Sea with similar skin to the Ming people, it looks more pleasing to the eye.

However, such a trade is not large in scale. After all, there is not a great demand for slaves in Nanyang. But now, in the face of Aurangzeb's threat, some of them have become more and more thinking.

Seeing everyone having their own plans, Zhao Guoliang knew that they must have their own thoughts in their hearts, so he comforted him again.

"Shou, be impatient. Now Aurangzeb is just a threat. This matter is not without room for return."

"Liberty? What's the room? He Aurangzeb is not a good talker!"

"Yes, Aurangzebu has long hated Wu Zhou over the years."

"I heard that Aurangzebu has already assembled a large army on the other side of the border. Maybe the time we can talk here, Aurangzebu's army has already arrived."

Everyone was talking and talking, and the previous unfavorable rumors immediately filled everyone's hearts, and all kinds of doubts quickly brought the smell of reproach.

"President Zhao, you always say, what should we do if Aurangzeb calls over? Could it be that they really let those people be snatched away?"

Seeing this, Zhao Guoliang also knew that if he could not give them an explanation, he was afraid that they would do something to save their belongings. So he immediately changed his tone and explained to everyone.

"I'm going to see the Prime Minister yesterday. What the Prime Minister means is very clear. The government will definitely not let Aurangzebu rob our family business, but the relationship is really tense now. Moreover, once the fight starts, the government may not be able to protect everyone's family business, especially those slaves. So the government's initial idea is whether to find another way, such as place all those people on the island. After all, Aurangzebu's naval commander is not strong..."

As soon as his words fell, a dark-skinned native suddenly ran into the door and hurriedly reported.

"Report to Master, Captain Liang has entered the city."
