Chapter seven hundred and eighty fifth good start
"In early August, the King of Hunan arrived at the Lion Kingdom, bombarded its port and then attacked the city. He captured the Lion King and forced him to surrender. He then used the Lion Kingdom as the foundation to unite the entire island, and then threatened India..."
Li Jie looked at the newly sent information and couldn't help but smile a little proudly on his face. These things were developing in the direction he expected, which also made him feel quite accomplished.
Apart from Zhu Su and Zhu Quan, Zhu Bo should be the first prince to go abroad after the vassalization, so he was able to open up the situation smoothly, which was also very important for the next action, and at least set an example for other princes.
Zhu Bo did not disappoint Li Jie. After conquering the Lion Kingdom simply and roughly, he did not rush to advance to India, but began to command the Sinhalese people to eliminate the Tamils on the island. On the one hand, to eliminate the hidden dangers on the island, and on the other hand, to conquer the Sinhalese people so that they could better obey their commands.
It has to be said that Zhu Bo's strategy is still very effective. With his equal importance to his kindness, the Sinhalese people quickly returned to their hearts. Especially with Zhu Bo's help, the Sinhalese people defeated the Tamils on the island and regained a lot of their hometowns, which also gave them a clearer understanding of Zhu Bo's strength.
In addition, Sinhalese and the Tamils have never ended in their lifetime. The two sides have been fighting since the fifth century AD, and they have been fighting for almost thousands of years but have not been able to decide the outcome. Even in later generations, the ethnic struggles within Sri Lanka did not stop. This shows how much hatred the two ethnic groups have reached.
Zhu Bo made good use of the hatred between the two ethnic groups. By attacking the Tamils, he not only resolved the hatred of the Sinhalese against him, but also tied the other party to his warship.
It is also worth mentioning that Zhubo and the Sinhalese have one big thing in common, that is, religion. The Sinhalese believe in Buddhism, which is also one of the main reasons for their conflict with the Tamils.
Although Zhu Bai himself likes Tao Zang, he is not rejecting Buddha. After all, his father Zhu Yuanzhang has been a monk, and he has monks sent by Lao Zhu around him. Therefore, in order to gain the favor of the Sinhalese, Zhu Bai even visited the Buddha Tooth Ceremony in person to show his identity as a Buddhist.
Although Buddhism once flourished in India, Buddhism began to decline when Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty traveled west to India. Now, in the entire India, except for the northernmost part of the Lion Kingdom, only the southernmost Lion Kingdom, also believed in Buddhism.
Now Zhu Bo, the prince who came from the Ming Dynasty, actually believes in Buddhism, which also makes the Sinhalese people very excited, especially the local monks, who are very welcome to this Buddhist from a foreign country. These monks also have a huge influence on the Sinhalese people, which also makes Zhu Bo integrate into the Sinhalese people more smoothly.
"After conquering the Sinhalese people, the next step should be to recruit Tamils. After all, the Tamils are not a monolithic part, and there will always be some cords. At that time, the Sinhalese people are wings and the surrendered Tamils are servants. There should be no big problem in sweeping the entire Indian." Li Jie looked at the information in his hand and murmured to himself.
Li Jie is already very satisfied with Zhu Bo's current progress. After all, Zhu Bo is a very capable person, which is one of the main reasons why he chose him as the benchmark of the prince.
With Zhu Bai's information, Li Jie immediately entered the palace. Now, the prince's going to sea will be handed over to his supervisor. All the performances of these princes after going to sea will be delivered to him, and he will report them to Zhu Yunyu. After all, Zhu Yunyu has too many things to be busy with, so it is impossible for him to worry about everything himself.
"It's great. I'll inform the other princes immediately so that they won't bother me again!" Zhu Yunxiu also slapped the table excitedly after reading Zhu Bo's information.
During this period, except for Zhu Bai, other princes who were going to go out to sea were still in the Ming Dynasty. These princes were also very nervous about the unknown future. They often ran into the palace to ask Zhu Yunxiu for questions, which made him very upset, but he had to see him. After all, these were his uncles. Now with the good news of Zhu Bai, he can finally be quiet for a few days.
"Your Majesty, as soon as this news comes out, I'm afraid they will only be more anxious to go out to sea. Then they will come to bother you twice as much!" Li Jie said with a smile.
"It's true, can they let them leave quickly? Now with the example of Uncle Eleven, the situation in Nanyang is easier to grasp. They should be able to go out to sea, right?" Zhu Yunqiu frowned when he heard this and asked again.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you will arrange a new prince to go to sea in about a month at the latest. And this time it will not be one or two, but several princes will go together. Then they will have some care, but in this way, the supplies they support will have to be given in batches." Li Jie smiled again.
"Just do it like this. Let them leave early and I will be calm. You shouldn't be too stuck on the supplies. It doesn't matter if you give them more. After all, they are leaving. Just treat it as a farewell gift I gave them!" Zhu Yunxiu immediately made the decision, and then specifically reminded him.
The Ming Dynasty's current national strength is strong, especially the development of industry and commerce, which has caused the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue to rise almost straight, and it has a very amazing increase every year. Therefore, Zhu Yunyu is not short of money at all, so he naturally becomes generous in his actions.
"By the way, isn't Youzhu going to Oceania? How is the information collected there?" Zhu Yunyu suddenly thought of Zhu Youzhu, so he asked again.
"Oceania is farther away. Although the route has been opened long ago, there are still not many merchants going there, so the information collection is not very smooth. However, I have asked someone to offer a high price to reward the information there. I heard that someone has personally gone to Oceania to inquire, and I should get a lot of useful information soon." Li Jie replied again.
Li Jie was of course very concerned about Zhu Youzhuan, so he kept watching him personally, but Oceania is still a bit special, so Zhu Youzhuan probably won't leave until the end.
"It's still young if you stew, so there's no hurry. Oceania is too far away. Send him a few more steamboats at that time to facilitate future exchanges." Zhu Yunhuang said again.
"Well, Youzhuan told me yesterday that he wanted to go to Dengzhou to practice early and get familiar with the situation at sea. I was also making arrangements for him to let him adapt to the sea for a while." Li Jie nodded immediately.
Zhu Yunxiu nodded when he heard Li Jie's words, then hesitated for a moment and said again: "Brother-in-law, there is something I want to discuss with you, and I hope you don't refuse."
