The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 502: Ding Kuichu and Guang Tongchen

Facts have proved that as long as you are willing to go out, then you will have a good idea and a brighter future!

Ding Kuichu, a native of Yongcheng, Henan, was a Juren in the 40th year of Wanli (1612) and a Jinshi in the forty-fourth year of Wanli (1616). In the fourth year of Chongzhen (1631), he was promoted to governor of Baoding, and in the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), he served as the minister of the household department. In the 9th year of Chongzhen (1636), he went to the governor of Hebei, and he was the authority to do good deeds.

In May of the Ninth Year of Chongzhen (1636), the Qing army, under the command of Ajige, led more than 80,000 troops, attacked Yanqing and Changping, invaded the capital, plundered 180,000 people and animals and returned to the east. Due to the failure to resist the invasion of the Qing army this time, it was the responsibility of the border officials to guard the land, and Ding Kuichu was sent to the criminal department prison.

He has a human heart and actively seeks to recover. He didn't want to go so smoothly. He didn't want the governor of Fujian to be vacant. Everyone thought, hey, since Ding Kuichu serves the country, why not give him a chance?

So Ding Kuichu proposed from the Criminal Ministry and changed into his official clothes to draw lots. The result was a suspicious draw!

Who is not easy to choose, who actually chose him as a criminal minister?

Seeing the smiling faces of the people around him, Ding Kuichu felt that he was full of malice.

Thinking that he would spend money to exonerate the dignitaries in the DPRK, he did it by collecting money to do things, and the position of giving was not low, but he fell from a fire kang to a fire kang.

It's really an official word!

In desperation, he entered the Forbidden City in a muddle-headed manner. The emperor asked him to act on his camera. First, he must solve the overseas rebellious group of the Southeast Prefecture; second, he was ready to open the sea and make money!

Emperor Chongzhen was vague, Ding Kuichu only felt a sudden pain in his head.

When the emperor asked about his strategy, Ding Kuichu went up and said: “The Southeast Mansion’s overseas rebellious group has no emperor, and does not want to serve the country. This is really abhorrent and intolerable. However, if the misfortune is not fierce, you should slowly try to make it.

As for the ban on seas, Emperor Chongzhen had high hopes. The Ming court was too poor and there were many places to spend money. The problem was that the expendable financial resources did not return. The bank of the household department only saw mouse **** but no silver dust.

Ding Kuichu repeatedly kowtowed his head and said: "The minister must be devoted to the country and be loyal to the country!"

Loyal?

It's true that it takes money!

Emperor Chongzhen asked him to retreat and kept watching him walk out of the palace gate. For the overseas silver, the emperor stretched his neck and waited.

The silver is indeed there, but it's all in his pocket!

Let’s say that Ding Kuichu took office and went to Fuzhou. It was the foreign ginseng who would see him in the future. Unlike Wang Daochun, who was straightforward, Ding Kuichu and Yang would say a few words, no more, no less, but the correct attitude towards subordinates.

Soon he understood the situation clearly, and in front of him there were three ways: first, evil Southeast Mansion; second, good contact with Southeast Mansion; third, neutrality.

He chose Zhongce to do business in partnership with Southeast Mansion!

He did not interfere at all when the Southeast Mansion recruited people to cross the border, and allowed the Southeast Mansion to recruit personnel, and the official cards in various places were in vain!

He takes bribes and accepts all the tribute to the southeast government and the business people. He has a "professional ethics", so he won't cause trouble for others when he collects money.

He simply organized a fleet of more than ten ships to start business with Southeast Mansion!

Naturally, he made a lot of money!

The opinions on him are polarized. The local officials and Fujian gentry in Fujian are very satisfied with him and sing loudly for him as a great master!

But Qingliu hated him deeply, and the folds that attacked him in the center added up to a height of one person, and his reputation quickly slipped into the stinking ditch.

When the courtiers talked about him, first they said he was rich; second they said he was greedy!

A close friend persuaded Ding Kuichu to behave according to guidelines, and said politely, "People are doing it, and the sky is watching!" Ding Kuichu sighed, "I am poor in the evening, so I can only do it backwards!"

This is the answer when the former Chuchen Wu Zixu rebelled against Chu and led Wu Jun to capture Chudu, his friend, Chuchen Shen Baoxu, questioned him.

In private, he communicated with them and said: "What am I afraid of? If there is a kind of seed, they will be replaced by another person as Minfu!"

His words were really sharp, no matter how others impeached him, Ding Kuichu's position has always been stable.

Because he added 100,000 taels of silver and 300,000 shi of grain to serve the imperial court in a year, and the supply of money and grain to the imperial court in Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the southeast of the country has been steadily rising. These sites are generally calm, with little civil strife, and nothing more. The pirates came to wreak havoc, and the Emperor Chongzhen, who had been smashed by the northern captives and the peasant army, could only maintain the status quo!

...

Several successive Fujian Fu had nothing to do with the Southeast Mansion, and even frustrated. The governor knelt. There was no way to restrict the release of the Southeast Mansion. The exhibition of the Southeast Mansion entered the fast lane in Southeast Asia.

Millions of Chinese go to Southeast Asia!

Under the organization of the Southeastern Prefecture, China University 6 set off a mighty voyage to Southeast Asia. Its propaganda is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even the remote towns in Shanxi have a flyer from the Southeastern Prefecture: "Immigrate to Southeast Asia, Create a new life!"

The flyers are inscribed with the seals of Da Ming Dongnan Hou, General Longhu Yan Changwu, and the seals of the former Emperor Daming, the former governor, and the former military minister Sun Chengzong, and the seals of the former governor of Dengzhou Sun Yuanhua, etc. Anyway, it has the endorsement of Ming officials. .

Immigration points are generally set up in various provinces, states and counties, and local governments generally let it go. This is the advantage of having official status!

Many officials were bought off. As the propaganda reached their homes, many officials gradually realized that Southeast Mansion was actually the power of the Han people. They pioneered and forged ahead, seized new territory for the Han people, and created a new life for the Han people.

So, officials with a conscience waved to let them go.

Among the people going to Southeast Asia, the southeast provinces accounted for 60% of the population. For those Chinese who went to Southeast Asia on the southeast coast, their dependence on land is lower than that of farmers in the Big Six because of their geographical location. Many of them have long been accustomed to the fishery life of "using the sea as their land", so the fear of the sea is the smallest among the entire Chinese nation.

The immigrants from the north accounted for 30%, and the further north, the more new immigrants.

Due to the invasion of the northern captives ~lightnovelpub.net~ they lost their homeland, fear of the northern captives and disappointment with the Ming court, many of them immigrated to Southeast Asia.

There are fewer people in the hinterland of the Central Plains, accounting for only 10%, but as the peasant army gallops across the Central Plains, the war has gradually increased the Central Plains immigrants, showing a trend of straight up.

Sea boats are loaded with Chinese and materials. The western route departs from the Pearl River estuary, via Annan, the Mekong Estuary, the Malay Peninsula, and the island of Sumatra, to Java; the eastern route departs from Fujian ports and passes through Taiwan, Luzon, and the Kalimantan Peninsula. , Arrived in Java.

There are also some branches in the middle. For example, some western ships sailed on the Kalimantan Peninsula, while some ships on the eastern route did not make use of the Kalimantan Peninsula. They went south via Luzon Mindanao and entered the newly seized Spice Islands in the Southeast to seek life.

There is an endless stream of sea ships, and Chinese can be heard throughout the South China Sea and Southeast Asia. As the saying goes, "The sea is everywhere, there are Chinese" since the Southeastern government opened up Southeast Asia!
