Chapter 1447: Attacking Southeast Asia

A prison car was escorted to Jinling.

Mang Bai was locked in a prison van, and pedestrians on both sides of the street looked curiously at the prisoners in the prison van.

Jinling City has not seen such a scene for many years.

In the past, when prisoners were caught, they were thrown directly into the mines, even the Japanese kings and shoguns of Fuso.

Being caught and paraded in public, Mang Bai was the first person to enjoy such an honor.

It didn't matter that the people of Jinling didn't know who he was, because someone read out his charges.

After hearing Mang Bai's accusations, the people of the Ming Dynasty became angry. The bold little barbarian king dared to murder the late Ming emperor. Damn it!

The common people went to smash Mangbai with rotten leaves, rotten eggs, and some people even took off their shoes when they couldn't find anything.

Others were about to grab the square bricks on the ground, but were stopped by the officer in charge of order.

It's okay to vent your anger, but not if you beat him to death. After all, it still needs to be used to pay tribute to the late emperor, and the basic integrity of the tribute must be guaranteed.

Mang Bai was escorted all the way to Han Yu.

Han Yu looked at Mang Bai kneeling beneath him and lost interest in humiliation.

Now, the status gap between the two was so huge that Han Yu felt disgusted with getting his hands dirty when dealing with such a person.

"Send it to the former emperor's mausoleum for blood sacrifice."

Han Yu said calmly.

"Yes!" The guard took Mang Bai down, and there was no need to mention the blood sacrifice.

After killing Mang Bai, Han Yu settled a major matter on his mind.

Let Mu Tianbo continue to march into Siam, all the way south, until he captures Temasek (Singapore), and then turn east, destroy the Khmer and Annan, and take the entire Southeast Asia into his pocket.

This is a rich granary, with rice being harvested three times a year, and a large number of tropical resources and minerals, but it is occupied by a group of white-eyed wolves.

This was unacceptable to Han Yu.

They must all be brought under their own control.

After Mu Tianbo accepted the order, he began to march eastward.

At this time, Southeast Asia was still full of small foreign countries, and the weapons in their hands were all spears and swords. Even the Manchu Qing could not defeat this level of force.

If the distance were not too far and the cost of governance was too high, they would not be able to remain independent.

The Grenadier Regiment led by Mu Tianbo swept through Southeast Asia with basically no opponents, and quickly defeated the local indigenous people.

As for those who were dissatisfied, they all became Jingguan beside the road.

After wiping out all the disobedient forces, Han Yu sent officials to re-plan the fields here, and then established huge plantations to concentrate the production of various strategic resources.

With the widespread use of steam engines in the Ming Dynasty, huge factories were built, and the demand for various supplies and raw materials, such as rubber, was also growing.

This is an important raw material for making tires.

Private cultivation by small farmers simply cannot meet the needs of large factories. Only centralized cultivation and large-scale production can.

However, such huge plantations require a large number of cheap workers.

Han Yu didn't want to use people from Ming's own country.

He picked on the map for a long time and finally selected a place - Borneo.

Here, in addition to the big crocodiles with fangs, there is another specialty, which is the Kunlun slave.

It is one of the Three Treasures of the Tang Dynasty.

Bodhisattva barbarian, Silla maid, Kunlun slave.

Many people think that Kunlun Nu is the black uncle from Africa.

In fact, no, the Kunlun slaves in the Tang Dynasty were all dark-skinned indigenous people sold from Borneo.

These natives like to eat and are lazy to work, bully the weak and fear the strong, eager to get rich but unwilling to endure hardship.

Then they targeted the local Chinese.

In the original time and space, the Qing government was incompetent, closed the country, and could not sail to the sea, resulting in the inability to manage ocean affairs.

The natives became increasingly arrogant and launched several massacres of Chinese people.

No one knows how many people died under their butcher knives.

Han Yu felt no burden in turning these natives into slaves.

"Since you have a lot of blood debt on your body, go to the plantation to repay it."

"Where is Mu Jiansheng now? Has the matter in Mindanao been resolved? Once it is resolved, lead the troops south and conquer Borneo. By the way, this place will no longer be called Borneo, but North Kunlun."

"Your Majesty, since this is called North Kunlun, shouldn't there also be South Kunlun?"

Mu Jianping asked curiously from the side.

"Of course, it's right here."

Han Yu moved his hand down and placed it on Australian soil.

In the original history, it was not until more than a hundred years later, in 1788, that the elite began to colonize here and exile prisoners here.

Now, there are only some indigenous Maoris and kangaroos baring their teeth at each other, without any threat.

The most important thing is that it is rich in various minerals, especially copper mines that were lacking in the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to get rid of the copper shortage dilemma and create copper-cased bullets, occupying this place is the most convenient solution.

In addition, this place is suitable for raising sheep. Wool is an important material and the blood of the industrial revolution. No matter what, this place must be captured.

"My brother just brought back a letter from a flying pigeon. Here it is."

Mu Jianping found a letter and handed it to Han Yu.

Han Yu opened it and found that Mu Jiansheng had met the Franji people in Mindanao. These Franji people claimed that they had discovered this place first. This place belonged to the colony of Franji and Ming Dynasty had no right to interfere.

"How dare the little barbarian show off his power in front of my house?"

Han Yu sneered.

The Francois are not a good thing either.

Although on the surface, they were very respectful to Ming Dynasty and often did business, they coveted Ming Dynasty's wealth and often played dirty tricks.

They didn't dare to do it at home, so they did it in overseas colonies.

Several massacres of Chinese people also occurred in Medan, all secretly instigated by the Franji people.

The Francois and these natives are the same species.

"Since they don't listen to the advice, there is no need to be merciful and tell Mu Jiansheng that I only want Mindanao. As for the two-legged creatures on it, there is no need for them to exist."

"Yes." The secret agent of the Secretariat immediately started drafting documents.

Yes, Han Yu felt that eunuchs were too inhumane, so he abolished the eunuch profession. The remaining eunuchs who passed the examination were retained, and those who failed were sent to factories owned by the royal family.

Female officers and guards were used in the palace to replace the original eunuchs.

At the same time, a secretariat was set up to handle daily paperwork, which helped Han Yu reduce a certain amount of work pressure. Now he only needs to grasp the general direction.

The document was encrypted and delivered to Mu Jiansheng using a carrier pigeon.

At this time, Mu Jiansheng was standing on the bow of the ship, secretly angry.

The damn Francois actually prohibited them from going ashore to resupply.

Moreover, through some insiders on the island, he got the news that those Franji people were inciting the local natives to launch riots and wanted to bloodbath the Chinese community and plunder wealth.

If Han Yu hadn't told him to deal with the enemies one by one and not declare war on the whole world at once, he would have attacked the islands long ago to let those Franji people who don't know the heights of the world know that the Ming Dynasty is not easy to mess with.
