Chapter 238 Chen Youliang, the Great God of Three Integrations
Latest website:
"Yes!" Nohara Kotaro's face was both proud and ashamed.
"What are you applying for?" the fat translator calmed down.
He is now a member of the Ming government and a naturalized member of the Ming Dynasty with noble status. Now he doesn't have to worry about any warriors at all!
Even many former famous ministers needed humility to please him!
"Recruit as a mercenary samurai!" Nohara Kotaro said.
"Go over there and do the test!" The fat translator continued to look at people through his nostrils.
Nohara Kotaro walked into a small door at the back and entered a courtyard.
Inside, several Ming soldiers put him to the test.
Although Kotaro Nohara's stomach growled with hunger, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
"qualified!"
A Ming army soldier shouted loudly.
Nohara Kotaro panted heavily and returned to the fat translator.
At this time, the Ming army officer who had been sitting on the Taishi chair took a look at the test report and felt that he was quite satisfied, so he said to Nohara Kotaro.
"It's okay. Register your name and go eat rice over there! Then you'll receive your resettlement allowance and you'll have to board the ship the day after tomorrow!"
Nohara Kotaro was immediately shocked after hearing the translated words.
He didn't expect that he was in such a hurry and only had two days.
At this time, he didn't even bother to eat the fragrant rice, so he quickly asked if he could have an extension of two days.
"No, the Ming Dynasty's ships have set sail and cannot be changed for a moment! If you can't be on time, you will be eliminated!" the fat translator continued to look at people with his nostrils.
"Hi! Yes, I can do it!"
Naturally, Nohara Kotaro could not let go of this opportunity to change his destiny. Under the urging of the fat translator, he signed his name on the document next to him and received the qualification to eat white rice for free.
After eating and drinking, he returned to his home with a piece of paperwork.
When he sets foot on the ship leaving Japan a few days later, his family can use this document to exchange for five taels of silver at the Ming government to settle down.
Nohara Kotaro returned home and told his wife Ami about the incident. Ami was also surprised and happy.
"For five taels of silver, our whole family can eat white rice for a whole year!" Ami's face was full of joy.
But then her mood darkened again.
Because Nohara Kotaro told her that every hired samurai needs to serve in Nanyang for three years.
There are no holidays during this period, and life, old age, illness and death depend on destiny.
Three years, my wife Ami, always felt that it was a bit too long.
But now the family's life can no longer survive. If Nohara Kotaro does not go to Nanyang to become a mercenary warrior, then the whole family will either starve to death or work as coolies in a short time.
Now Kotaro Nohara is working as a hired samurai. Although it is equally hard and dangerous, he has managed to maintain his identity and dignity as a samurai.
And Kotaro Nohara told his wife Ami some good news worth looking forward to.
"After three years, I will be able to obtain the status of a naturalized person when I return, I can own my own land, and I can also reduce a lot of taxes!"
When Kotaro Nohara said this, he was full of hope for the future.

【】
My wife Ami also had the same expression.
The Japanese people under the Ming Dynasty could obtain the status of naturalized persons, which was equivalent to the samurai class in the old shogunate era. They could not only own property such as land and houses, but also obtain precious Han surnames and Han names. From then on, their
The descendants can go to the prosperous Celestial Kingdom to live as citizens of the Ming Dynasty.
Today's Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the ideal Celestial Kingdom for all foreigners.
"That's great. Shinbei will be a noble citizen of the Ming Dynasty!" His wife Ami looked full of admiration.
Two days later.
At the pier outside Jiangjiang, a Ming Dynasty merchant ship slowly sailed away from the pier.
Nohara Kotaro stood on the deck with a group of mercenary samurai who had also been recruited, waving goodbye to his family on the shore.
According to the Ming Dynasty's recruitment order, in the sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, one hundred thousand Japanese people will serve the Ming Dynasty in this form.
The places they went to were all the most difficult and dangerous areas. They were either fighting in the jungles with the natives of Southeast Asia, fighting fiercely with the tribes in Qingtang in the northwest, or transporting supplies for the Ming Dynasty in the Gobi Desert.
These are all taking great risks, and at least half of them will die within three years of service.
For such dangerous work, Ming Dynasty only needed to pay them one tael of silver per month.
No matter how you calculate it, this deal is a very good deal for Daming.
Zhu Han used the lives of these Japanese people to double the pace of Ming Dynasty's expansion in frontiers.
One hundred thousand Japanese laborers and mercenary warriors were like consumables, half of which were lost in the process of opening up the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
And there were 100,000 in Hongwu six years alone. According to the poverty of ordinary people in Japan, the same number of people could be recruited every year in the next three to five years.
According to Zhu Han's plan, at least 200,000 Japanese young men would die tragically in just five years.
This reduced many potential troubles for the Ming Dynasty in ruling the Japanese islands.
Zhu Han tried every means to reduce the Japanese population. The Japanese people were white-eyed wolves by nature, and Zhu Han would not trust them unless they were completely killed and assimilated.
But thousands of miles away in India, Chen Youliang had a completely different feeling when facing the local Indians with the same huge population.
Chen Youliang led his remnant of less than 50,000 troops, passed through the Savage Mountains, and then along the southern foothills of the Himalayas, through Assam, and reached Nazar in India.
Nazar Pradesh is located in the middle reaches of the Ganges Plain, with the towering Himalayas to the north and the broad Ganges River to the south.
The Nazar area is relatively far from the Bengal area occupied by Duan Gong, and is blocked by the overflowing Ganges River in the middle, making it relatively safe.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate were defeated, and Chen Youliang occupied Nazar, which was half the size of Sichuan, with tens of thousands of people.
After defeating the Delhi Sultanate's army, Chen Youliang originally thought he would continue fighting with the local indigenous people.
After all, he already knew that the local indigenous lords were powerful, controlled a lot of wealth and population, and also had their own army.

【】
At that time, Chen Youliang felt that he would definitely get into a fierce battle with them, and even prepared for the worst.
but.
The local Brahmin nobles extended an olive branch to Chen Youliang.
It turned out that these Brahmin nobles had linked up with each other to launch a rebellion before Chen Youliang arrived.
However, the fighting power of the Brahmins was really weak, and the Delhi Sultanate suppressed them all after several battles.
Never expected it.
The army of the Delhi Sultanate, which was chopping melons and vegetables in front of the Brahmans, was so vulnerable to the tens of thousands of Chen Youliang's remaining soldiers.
The unfortunate Delhi Sultanate did not know at this time that its real life and death enemy had arrived on Indian soil.
When these Brahmans saw Chen Youliang driving away the Tianfang Sect army of the Delhi Sultanate, they immediately felt that this was a great savior sent by Lord Shiva.
Brahmans took the initiative to provide food and supplies to Chen Youliang, and repeatedly stated that as long as Chen Youliang could guarantee their status and resist the Delhi Sultanate's army, then all supplies for Chen and Han's army would be provided by these Brahmans.
In less than half a month, the Brahmin believers sent Chen Youliang's army piles of food, cloth, wine, meat, etc.
After tens of thousands of soldiers who had been displaced for thousands of miles, they finally lived a good life eating meat and drinking wine.
Regarding these Brahman nobles who took the initiative to seek refuge, Chen Youliang initially suspected that they had some other intentions or conspiracy.
But after getting along with each other for a period of time, Chen Youliang gradually understood the psychology of these Brahmin nobles.
In fact, they were so eager to become Chen Youliang's younger brother that they really frightened the Delhi Sultanate.
Although the army of the Delhi Sultanate has been corrupted for many years, its combat effectiveness is far less powerful than when their ancestors first entered India.
But it was enough to beat these Brahmans.
When Chen Youliang's army first arrived, they defeated the Delhi Sultanate's army with overwhelming force.
The Brahmans were naturally very happy.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Chen Youliang naturally became a good person in their hearts.
And after a period of in-depth communication between the two parties.
Chen Youliang learned from several Brahmin beauties who had just been brought into the harem that these Brahmans were actually the evolution and fusion of Buddhism and other religions in ancient times.
Chen Youliang was greatly surprised when he heard the news.
Isn’t this a coincidence!
The Southern Branch of the Red Scarf Army, where Chen Youliang belonged, used Maitreya Religion as propaganda when they rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty.
Maitreya Buddha is actually a god in Indian tradition.
Calculate it this way.
Chen Youliang's Maitreya religion and the Indian Brahmanism are basically from the same school.
Chen Youliang knew deeply that he had less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. With such a small number, if he wanted to gain a foothold here, he must win over the Brahmin nobles.
The people here attach great importance to religion, which is almost equivalent to half their lives.
The Delhi Sultanate and Brahmanism have been enemies of life and death for hundreds of years, mostly because of their different religions.

【】
Now, Chen Youliang's Maitreya religion and the local Brahmins can be classified as one sect, which can directly allow Chen Youliang to integrate and absorb local forces in the local area without any hindrance.
After discussing with his brother Chen Youren, military advisor Zou Pusheng and others, Chen Youliang immediately ordered the summons of thirty-six local Brahmin nobles and held a massive alliance.
In this alliance, Chen Youliang seamlessly connected his Maitreya religion with the local Brahmanism.
"Everything in the world has spirits, and every spirit has God!"
"All flowers and all living things have spirits, and all spirits are derived from treasures!"
Chen Youliang made the opening remarks with a tongue-twisting quip that he didn't even understand.
The teachings of Maitreya and Brahmanism have been continuously added over hundreds of years, and various bizarre arguments and contradictions are common.
So when Chen Youliang integrated Maitreyaism and Brahmanism, these Brahmans couldn't say there was anything wrong.
Finally, after Chen Youliang's eloquent explanation, Maitreya Religion was officially equated with Brahmanism.
There are three major gods in Brahmanism, namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
In Brahman teachings, these three great gods are inseparable and can transform into each other.
This can be regarded as allowing Chen Youliang to take advantage of the loophole.
Chen Youliang immediately launched a propaganda campaign against these Brahmin Asans.
The Maitreya Buddha of Maitreya religion is actually the combination of the three great gods of Brahman!
Anyway, the three great gods can transform into each other, and there should be no problem if there is a fusion of the three gods.
When they first heard this point of view, the local Brahmans were completely stunned.
Originally, these Brahmin believers felt that these conquerors from the east were stronger in force than the Delhi Sultanate, so as long as they did not squeeze too hard in collecting taxes and allowed them to practice their own religion, they would honestly be obedient subjects.
However, the surprise came so suddenly.
Chen Youliang, a powerful army, was not only not a heretic, but also a fellow Brahman who had been separated for many years.
The Brahman nobles all cheered for joy, they felt that they were finally going to feel proud.
"Thirty-six Brahmin high priests and seventy-two families of Kshatriyas, one supreme one, worship you as our king!"
After some deliberations, one hundred and eight Brahmin noble families unanimously accepted Maitreya as fellow Brahmans.
And they also gave Chen Youliang a resounding honorific.
"Maitreya of the East is the combination of three great gods!"
"You are the messenger of God on earth!"
"We are willing to honor you as the King of Three Harmonies!"
Amid the praise of a large group of Brahmin indigenous nobles, Chen Youliang officially led tens of thousands of Chen and Han army soldiers to become a member of the Brahman religion.
Brahmanism has a strict hierarchy, with strict hierarchies between gods and mortals, nobles and commoners, and commoners and untouchables.
Since the tens of thousands of Han soldiers led by Chen Youliang joined the Brahman religion, they naturally had to start as nobles.
Chen Youliang's royal family, generals and officials are all Brahmans, the noblest, while low-level officers and ordinary soldiers are all Kshatriyas.
They are all noble and superior people.

【】
The local civilians and untouchables had to kneel on the ground and kowtow when they saw any Chen and Han army soldier, even the most humble fire-headed soldier or horseman, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the gods.
In Brahmanism, whoever dares to be disrespectful to the gods will not only be punished with a whip in this life, but also have to be reincarnated and continue to be an untouchable in the next life.
so.
When Chen Youliang won the title of "King of Three Harmonies", all the soldiers in Chen and Han's army completely joined in the happy life of Renshangren.
Because the Ming army attacked Sichuan, almost all the soldiers of the Chen and Han armies lost their family records.
Now that I have finally taken root in India, thousands of miles away, the first thing I want to do is to marry a wife.
As the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the King of the Three Harmonies, Chen Youliang set an example by marrying more than 20 Brahmin beauties in one go and betrothed five Brahmin daughters-in-law to his son Chen Li.
Each of Chen Youliang's younger brothers married several beautiful Brahmin women.
Suddenly, the Chen Han royal family was completely filled with the smell of curry.
But the number of nobles is limited after all.
Generals and officials could also marry the daughters of Brahmin or Kshatriya nobles.
Ordinary Chen and Han army soldiers had almost no hope of marrying a noble daughter.
