When Liu Mingliang arrested people, it was very simple. The soldiers only needed to blow up some big trees to kill these Song Dynasty people living on the top of the trees. The survivors are trapped, but preventing them from committing suicide is a very troublesome matter.
Ever since a young woman fell down from a tree and planned to commit suicide, and was caught by the soldiers under the tree with a fishing net, he could only move step by step, first using a net bag with a long pole to catch those lights. Liuliu's children, and then used the children to threaten these people to surrender, and then achieved the goal of catching all these people.
Even so, these people are still extremely desperate...
From Liu Pei's words, Han Xiufen figured out what these people had experienced in the past nearly four hundred years. .
There are now only 427 people left in the team of tens of thousands.
This is how the survivors of the Song Dynasty struggled on the island of Java over the years.
Moreover, among the remaining people, most are women, and there are very few men. Especially there are only nine adult men like Liu Pei left, and all the remaining people in this team are women. Children were born from these nine men.
Han Xiufen believes that if this trend continues, this team of survivors will disappear completely within thirty years.
However, these people are still proud. Even if they face the danger of annihilation, they still refuse to marry the savages on the island, let alone associate with them, and live in isolation in a tropical rain forest. A life of isolation.
Their lives are actually battles!
You will die at any time if you go to the beach to bask in salt. You will die at any time if you go hunting under the trees. Even if you hide in the canopy, you will die in a strong storm.
This is why there are so few men on this team.
However. The thing that shocked Han Xiufen the most was that all of these people were literate, and many women could even be called great scholars, especially Jiu Gong, who was only forty-seven years old and already had white hair. After the conversation, Han Xiufen respected him as a heavenly being.
The largest number of trophies collected from where they lived was not food or supplies, but books—all kinds of books, although some were in dilapidated condition, but it could be seen that these The books are carefully protected.
Jiu Gong's name is Lu Hong. He was indifferent to Han Xiufen's question about the past of the Yashan Massacre. He laughed off the legend of a hundred thousand literati who went to the disaster together in the history books, saying that the past cannot be recalled.
People should look forward. If you always carry the past and move forward, it will be difficult to make any progress.
After discovering this, Han Xiufen's attitude towards these Song Dynasty survivors became more and more kind, and she mentioned their treatment again and again.
When these people changed their clothes made of coconut fiber and put on the green shirts of the Ming Dynasty’s representative scholars, Han Xiufen’s eyes burst out with two rays of light. She discovered that the savages and the people The difference is just a piece of clothing.
WhenOf course, this sentence is only for these people. If you capture some Javanese savages, you will still be a monkey even if you wear a crown.
Han Xiufen was very satisfied. With these people, she could set up a Nanyang Academy in Java.
After Jiugong and his party found out that Han Xiufen and his party were indeed King Masters, and suddenly found that they had no worries about food and clothing, they plunged headlong into understanding the new world.
"So, my Ming Dynasty has recaptured Tokyo, recaptured Yanyun, recaptured Daming Mansion, recaptured Guanzhong, and even extended my arms to the Western Regions like the Han and Tang Dynasties?"
p>"It's like this. I raised my three-foot sword to your Majesty to drive away the Tartars and recover the mountains and rivers. The Ming Dynasty's heroic troops came out of Yanyun to conquer the Mongolian tribes. After several battles, there were not many Mongolians left.
My army left Yumen Pass and marched all the way to the west, invincible. The army arrived at the Tianshan Mountains and did not stop yet. It was still sweeping the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.
The descendants of the northern Jin people resumed their journey between the white mountains and the black waters, and became self-emperors. They have fought dozens of fierce battles with the descendants of the Jin people. Now, the descendants of the Jin people have given up on Liaodong and North Korea and are heading north. Even if they retreat to Beihai, they can never escape the punishment of our Ming Dynasty."
"So, today's emperor is a Wu Emperor?"
"No, today's emperor is a descendant of the Guanzhong family, and he is also the master of the "Guan School" lineage. Yushan Academy has long been famous all over the world. In the Second Year of China, it even proposed the concept of education for all. Now, it is being implemented in China, and schools are springing up all over the country.
We. Most of what the army gained in Nanyang was invested in teaching and educating people. However, many of the military's construction projects also delayed and lagged behind the great cause of teaching and educating people."
"Okay, okay. Enlighten the people's wisdom and don't put selfishness first. Today's emperor can be called a saint. I wonder how old your majesty is? "
"Is he in good health?"
" "
"I usually travel around, shoot arrows, and practice martial arts. I have never heard of any hidden diseases."
"Well, have you ever given birth to a prince? Has the prince ever had smallpox?"
p>
"Your Majesty has two sons and one daughter. The eldest prince is now fourteen years old. The second prince is the same age as the eldest prince and they are both healthy."
Jiu Gong stroked his beard and said: "Prince If there are less, your majesty will be a concubine and give birth to more princes."
Han Xiufen looked at Jiu Gong and shook her head: "Your majesty only has two queens so far, so you can call yourself one queen. But with a harem of five thousand, the two queens are his harem of three thousand. It seems that he has no plans to expand the harem."
"But the queen is jealous?"
"No. , His Majesty joked with the ministers that the two queens were too busy for him to take care of."
"Such an emperor is good or bad, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but I am planning to open a hotel in Nanyang. I wonder if the general will allow it?”
Han Xiufen smiled, and she smiled very happily.
He saluted Lu Jiugong and said: "As long as Jiu Gong has this intention, Han will agree to whatever Jiu Gong asks. Even if it is beyond the scope of Han's ability, I still have His Majesty as my backer. Jiu Gong will do his best. "Shi Wei."
"Okay, I learned from the Imperial Academy of the Song Dynasty and established a school. Naturally, it cannot be underestimated, let alone ignored. Please give the emperor a copy right away and rectify the name of our Nanyang School."< /p>
Han Xiufen smiled and said: "What's the difficulty? A certain family will send a warship and order them to set off for the country at starry night. I believe that after the construction of our Nanyang Academy is completed, His Majesty's edict will arrive as scheduled. "
Lu Jiugong picked up the tea cup, took a deep sniff of the tea, dipped his finger in the tea bowl, then flicked out a few drops of tea, and whispered. : "After all the hard work, we have been waiting for four hundred years in vain."
The conversation with Lu Jiugong made Han Xiufen extremely happy. Being able to establish a large school in the land of Nanyang was really a blessing to her. It is so important. With the university hall, Nanyang will produce many officials who are familiar with Nanyang affairs.
If this university can truly develop, it will be of great benefit to the empire in consolidating its rule in Southeast Asia.
So, before the search project on Java Island ended, in the northwest of Java Island, Jakarta, which the Javanese called the "City of Victory" and the "Glorious Fortress", the Dutch called "Jakarta" Batavia", the "Third Lantian City" called Coconut City by the Ming people in Nanyang began the construction of Nanyang Academy.
This time, she planned to invest 300,000 Javanese and 20,000 Ming Nanyang people in the construction of this academy.
Han Xiufen could raise the cost of building this academy by selling the governors of the Dutch East India Company in Southeast Asia and more than 4,600 captured Dutchmen.
Building a Nanyang Academy was Han Xiufen's biggest priority. As for Earl Rennes, he was just a prisoner.
The Strait of Malacca has been completely blocked by the First Fleet of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is land or sea, the warships of the Dutch East India Company that luckily escaped from Java have no other way to survive except to be destroyed. .
After isolating the Strait of Malacca, Ming Dynasty’s contact with Europe was completely in Han Xiufen’s hands. She did not think that the Dutch East India Company would send a huge fleet to travel far away just for a director. People from all over the world came to Nanyang to cause trouble for her.
At the same time, the First Fleet of the Ming Dynasty also needed to find a heavyweight Western noble to operate, so as to declare the Ming Dynasty's determination to rule Nanyang.
After discussing with Lu Jiugong, Han Xiufen went directly to Earl Rennes and said frankly: "Mr. Earl, I now need a lot of money to build a great university.
As you know, the assets of the First Fleet of the Ming Navy belong to the state, and the state never allows the Ming Army to engage in any commercial activities. In other words, I now lack a large amount of money that I can freely use.Cai, I wonder if Earl Renne has any good suggestions. ”
Ever since Count Rennes was captured alive by his daughter, he has not been ill-treated. Not only has he not been ill-treated, Zhang Chuanli even took Earl Rennes’ servants out of the prisoner of war camp and was responsible for them. Serve him.
So, apart from looking a little haggard today, Earl Ren’s overall mental condition is not bad.
“Dear Earl Han, you are Daming. The Supreme Commander of the Empire in Nanyang, then, may I venture to ask, are you not even allowed to use the money to build a school?
Han Xiufen said: "This is the rule of the Ming Empire. Even a general like me who is far away from the Ming Dynasty must abide by some basic rules and regulations. The money in my warehouse belongs to the Ming Empire. I It cannot be used easily.
However, with you here, I believe I will get enough funds to build a beautiful academy. I think the total amount of this fund is two hundred thousand taels of gold, which is your Dutch East Indies Ten million silver sailing ships minted by the company. ”
Earl Rennes shook his head and said: “I’m not worth that much money. Even if Earl Han counts the 4,600 captured Dutch East India Company employees, it’s not worth that much money.”
Earl, be realistic. One million sailing silver coins is actually enough for you to build a glorious university. "
Han Xiufen said expressionlessly: "Well, it seems that we have good discussions and cannot continue. I think that my subordinate Colonel Leoni will definitely achieve my goal from you. wish. "
After that, without looking at the pale Rennes, he directly said to Zhang Chuanli: "Give Earl Rennes to Leonie and tell her that I need 10 million sailing silver coins. ”
