Next, these new vassal kings recognized by the Ming Dynasty will receive loans from the Ming Dynasty Bank, recruit talents, and go to their own vassals to carry out Chinese transformation.
If the transformation is successful, after the Ming Dynasty sends imperial envoys to review, the central court of the Ming Dynasty will receive varying degrees of military and economic support from the Ming Dynasty based on their degree of sinicization.
For those who are directly members of the Ming Dynasty clan or nobles who establish a country overseas, they will not only receive assistance from the central court, but also receive direct support from the Ming Emperor.
However, even so, for a vassal monarch like Zhu Yujian who needs to start from scratch, his first step in transforming his vassal land is basically physical transformation.
That is, through his own mercenaries, he will wipe out all the local native leaders, and then forcefully become the new lord of the local natives.
Then they forced assimilation culturally, and economically appeased these natives, and used high welfare to recruit Han people, and even Koreans and Japanese with a high degree of Sinicization, so that these people could immigrate to their own vassal country.
In fact, if enough Han people are recruited, all the local natives will be turned into slaves.
Because of the emperor's help, Zhu Yujian recruited a large number of victims from disaster areas across the country from the court at high prices. He also relied on the emperor's relationship to obtain many military orders. After training these victims in the Royal Forest Garden, they became It became its own army of ten thousand people.
Therefore, with this army, he was able to turn all the natives in Tasmania into his slaves. He also occupied New Zealand and turned the natives there into his slaves. He recognized the Han people he brought as nationals.
Of course, the local natives will resist, but the result is a bloody suppression.
At present, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty does not have so many restrictions on their overseas expansion and the degree of civilization they treat local people.
Zhu Youxiao only asked that the area be turned into a Han culture area.
Therefore, Zhu Yujian can do whatever he wants in his own domain.
…
Time goes back to when the coronation ceremony just ended.
It is now the thirty-first year of the Apocalypse.
At this time in history, both capitals of the Ming Dynasty had fallen.
However, the Ming Dynasty still exists and is more prosperous than the Longwan period.
When Zhu Youxiao looked at the vassal monarchs who were leaving in Hanfu, he pursed his lips slightly because of this thought, and couldn't help but look at the officials beside him.
"If I remember correctly, at this time in history, the order to shave heads and change clothes was issued. At this time, Han clothes were no longer seen inside and outside the capital. Fortunately, with my lonesome courage and iron-blooded politics, I finally avoided it. This situation occurred”
After Zhu Youxiao thought about this, he couldn't help but look at the scholar-bureaucrats in front of him, and said in his heart: "You should thank me for not becoming a slave to the country's subjugation! You don't have to sacrifice your whole family!"
When he thought of this, Zhu Youxiao cursed in his heart: "No! Even if some of you knew it, you wouldn't thank me, because by doing this, I actually stopped you from being slaves to the Manchu Emperor, so that you can be a better person." An opportunity to master!”
After the coronation ceremony, Zhu Youxiao began to order the trial of King Felipe IV of Spain.
Because of this, Felipe IV was escorted outside the Meridian Gate, where he knelt before the aloof Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao and accepted his trial.
As usual, it was still the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who first accused Felipe IV of all crimes.
Then, Zhu Youxiao asked Felipe IV: "Felipe IV, do you plead guilty?"
Felipe IV looked at these Easterners with no thoughts in his heart and nodded.
"Lingchi execution!"
So, soon afterwards, Zhu Youxiao issued an order to execute Felipe IV.
Zhu Youxiao would not be lenient towards these Westerners. He knew very well how cruel and barbaric these people were in history.
When Felipe IV learned that he was going to be executed by Lingchi, he just shouted excitedly: "No, no, I am the king of Spain, I am a noble of the Habsburg dynasty, you can't treat me like this!"
But Felipe IV's cry was useless at this time. He could only accept the fate of being executed by Lingchi.
“I executed Felipe IV with severe torture because he was the mastermind behind the executioners who massacred the people, but I will not punish you scholars for proposing different scientific opinions;
On the contrary, I will encourage you to continue your research and give you the freedom to do so. From now on, you will stay at the Ming Academy of Sciences and conduct research for the progress of mankind. I will give you the greatest support! But now, you have to learn Chinese first. I have sent the best teachers to teach you Chinese. I hope you can learn it as soon as possible! "
After dealing with Felipe IV, Zhu Youxiao met with Descartes and others and expressed his views.
"yes!"
Descartes replied that they were very happy that Zhu Youxiao supported them.
In this era, not many people realize how valuable Descartes and others are to the progress of human civilization as a whole.
But Zhu Youxiao knew it well, so he asked Shen Shouao to bring these people back to the Ming Dynasty at all costs when he sailed to the West. He even issued a secret order saying that if these people did not come, they would be assassinated directly. , even if the progress of human civilization is delayed, he does not want foreign countries to have any chance to catch up with the Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately, these scientists have not received much attention compared to priests or lawyers in their own country, so they were all successfully brought to the Ming Dynasty.
Ming Dynasty's current scientific research strength is naturally very strong.
The number of researchers at the Ming Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering is already very large.
Local provinces and large factories also have their own R&D institutions.
Zhu Youxiao even directly used internal funds to found two journals, "Nature" and "Science", and appointed the most authoritative scholars in the Ming Dynasty as editors of the Hanlin Academy, specifically responsible for reviewing manuscripts and selecting the most valuable research papers in each issue. , as long as they are selected into the journal, the emperor will personally reward them heavily, grant them official titles, and generous monetary rewards.
In addition, Zhu Youxiao also established the National Science and Technology Award, which is held annually to reward the most accomplished scholars in the field of scientific research.
The winner will receive the treatment of a second-grade official.
Although the Ming Dynasty promoted Confucian culture abroad and used various coercion and inducement methods to expand the Confucian cultural circle, today's Ming Dynasty is no longer dominated by Confucian civilization, but an industrial civilization country with Ming characteristics.
Because of Zhu Youxiao's series of operations, scholars and craftsmen engaged in scientific research, as well as doctors and soldiers who rescued the wounded and rescued the dying were the most respected in the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, pure Confucian scholars were ignored a lot.
And when the imperial court decided to change the imperial examination system and no longer rely on eight-part essays to select scholars, it would undoubtedly be a bigger blow to them who could only be officials.
