Zhenjuan 1 Sleepy Shoal 813 "Your Majesty, the Governor of Luzon sent someone to report that the Sultanate of Nanbawa had discovered a gold mine. The sultan of that country was unable to mine, so he went to Brunei to hire dozens of Han people and succeeded in mining the gold mine in one fell swoop. The Han people in Luzon Hearing this, they crossed the sea to go to gold mining, leaving at least hundreds of people every month. As a result, there were not many Han people on Luzon Island, but because of the Nanbawa gold mines, there are fewer and fewer."
"Secondly, the Netherlands is also eyeing the Nambawa gold mine. But the Netherlands is short of manpower. It must first conquer the Nambawa Sultanate before arresting the natives to mine the gold mines. At the end of last year, the Netherlands sent 300 troops and was captured by the Nambawa Sultanate. Repel. The Sultan of Nanbawa is afraid that he will come again, so he seeks the help of the Sultanate of Sanfa, the Sultanate of Landak, and the Sultanate of Brunei. All the countries in Borneo are afraid, and they ask the Governor of Luzon to send troops.¡±
"Nambawa Sultanate, because of its small size, dare not fall to any side. Now it has been invaded by the Netherlands, and has sent envoys to Luzon, asking His Majesty to be the king, and willing to submit the whole country to our Datong court."
Throughout Kalimantan, there are a bunch of sultanates, many of which have become vassal states of Datong China.
As for this Nanbawa gold mine, it has also caused a sensation in history.
The country is a port city-state, centered on the city, and its territory does not radiate far to the surrounding area. Sudan doesn't even have miners available, so it has to go to Brunei to find Chinese miners. At that time, China was under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a large number of landless farmers flocked from Guangdong. At least 2,000 people arrived every spring, and hundreds of people returned home with gold in summer.
?Numba, the news of the gold production became more and more evil as it spread. In less than a hundred years, there were more than 100,000 Chinese there. Later, instead of mining gold, they went there to do business and farm with the ties of clan and fellow villagers. The famous "Lanfang Republic" was established on the basis of these Han people.
Today, the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong widely divide the land, and there are no farmers who have lost their land. Therefore, there are not many people who go to sea to mine gold. There are also one or two hundred people going south every month, all of whom are unwilling to be lonely and want to make a fortune with gold. But Luzon Island is very embarrassing. Most of the Han people there are adventurers and are losing their population at a rate of hundreds per month. The Governor of Luzon is already in a hurry.
Zhao Han said: "Order the Ministry of Rites to engrave the golden seal of the king of Nanbawa, and condemn the envoys to canonize the king and his son. Luzon's army, don't dispatch it for now. First note to the Dutch that Nanbawa is a vassal state of China. Once the Netherlands invades Nanbawa Wow, it is equivalent to tearing up the contract and going to war with China. If the Netherlands sends troops, it will not be too late for Luzon to send troops. Then order the Governor of Palembang, once the war starts, immediately send troops to harass Batavia."
Kalimantan Island has a tropical rainforest climate, and the number of Han people is small, so the development speed is very slow. Therefore, Zhao Han never thought about occupying, but kept recruiting younger brothers and recruiting vassal states, focusing on developing Luzon.
Now that this incident has suddenly appeared, it must be intervened, and the Dutch cannot be allowed to interfere with the island.
But there is no need to be too active. Who knows when the Netherlands will come again, and sending troops to stay for a long time is too expensive. It is best to be able to intimidate the Netherlands diplomatically. If you can't be scared, you can go to war with each other. It is best if the Sudan is killed by the Dutch and takes the opportunity to occupy this city-state.
In the Sultanate of Nambawa, the land is fertile and can grow food.
Farther south, in the Landak Sultanate, Pontianak, the capital of the "Lan Fang Republic", the alluvial plains there are more fertile.
The two places are not far apart, so they can be occupied and connected together, and they can also be self-sufficient in food.
The gold mine is second to none. The main focus is on its sea trade transportation location, which can establish the "Palembang-Pontianak-Luzon-Taiwan-Fujian" route.
In addition, it can also form the iron triangle of "Malacca-Palembang-Pontianak". If any one is attacked, the other two can quickly provide support.
"Numba, wow, that's the deal, let those three come in." Zhao Han said.
Yan Ruoqi, who was disqualified from the imperial examination, and Yan Yuan, the first Jinshi in the second class of the current subject, and Tang Zhen, the seventh Jinshi in the second class, were taken to the hall by the female officials.
? After the adjustment of the policy of Jinshi in the new department, the three in the first list and the Shujishi can already be released from the seventh rank. But you must first observe politics in the cabinet, and only after the internship period expires can you be released to work as Cong Qipin.
From the seventh-rank officials, there are not only county magistrates, but also other yamen officials at all levels. For example, the governors and deputy governors of provincial yamen, the master book of local horse breeding institutions, the experience and deputy nominations of local salt yamen, the state judges of directly governed states, and so on. These are all positions that have to deal with actual government affairs and exercise their ability to handle affairs.
?Every imperial examination champion, second place, Tanhua, and Shujishi will first practice in the cabinet center, and then be sent to the local area to do training from the seventh rank, and then promoted to be a county magistrate. The promotion route for the first few years was designed in this way.
The Jinshi on the second list can be released to the outside world.
Officials of this rankstop.
Zhao Han looked at Yan Ruoqi again: "You have made great contributions to your suggestions and regained your qualifications for the imperial examination. I hope you will have a good life and contribute to the country in the future."
"Your Majesty is holy!"
Yan Ruoqi was so excited that he forgot the rules, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
The three of them bowed and exited the hall, their joy was beyond words. As for the arrest of literati by the imperial court, they didn't bother to pay attention to them. Who would care about those poor scholars who would become officials in the future.
After more than half a month of arrest, the actions inside and outside Nanjing were finally stopped by the emperor. More than 2,100 people were exiled to Heilongjiang, including their wives and children. There are such a large number because there are too many "Beijing drifters", and many wealthy literati who cannot be officials have come to Nanjing to mix in the cultural and entertainment circles.
However, the arrest operation in Jinling Mansion is still going on, and the bookstores in the surrounding counties are no longer able to operate normally.
Everyone is in danger, and many people run away, and some even cross the sea to Japan and North Korea. Settling in Japan and North Korea is better than exile in Heilongjiang, which was too cold during the Little Ice Age. There are also those who change their names and surnames and go to Luzon, and they can spend money to become landlords in Luzon.
The orders of the imperial court are being implemented in various provinces one after another, and the folk scholars are made to feel insecure.
Zhao Han's evaluation in the minds of literati is falling off a cliff. But the effect is obvious, and too obvious, the literary creation and publishing industry has suffered a very serious blow. Even some academic schools dare not talk nonsense anymore. A prosperous cultural and ideological circle seems to have suddenly encountered a cold winter.
For this phenomenon, Zhao Han can only let the "Datong Monthly" take action.
First, the official reprint of Chen Que's article not only encourages and supports relevant ideas, but also shows an attitude that it will not randomly attack academic discussions. As long as Tian Zheng is not criticized, as long as black and white are not confused, academic circles can continue to argue.
Second, publish a commentator's article to clarify the reasons for the revival of the prison. List the bad deeds of the author Shen Lu, who inverts black and white in her works, smears indiscriminately, and uses other people's heroic actions to put gold on her own family's face. And once again reiterated that there should be no criticism of Tian Zheng, Tian Zheng is the foundation of the new dynasty of Datong.
