Chapter 196 The Johor Garrison and the Aboriginal Population Decline
Chapter 196 The Johor Garrison and the Sharp Decline of the Aboriginal Population
When the Guangdong Fleet was sweeping the coast of Johor and gathering the Han Chinese scattered on the islands, the troops from the two towns of the Guards conducted a "search" of the entire Johor at lightning speed.
The Ming Dynasty vassalized the Matalan Kingdom, and the servant army of the Aceh Kingdom also participated.
Since ancient times, the Johorese have been unable to defeat the Acehnese in Sumatra, so the search operation went smoothly and the Guards almost suffered no losses.
If there is a tough battle, the servant army will take the lead.
In addition, these servants are not vegetarians. They have been trained by the Guards. It may be difficult to defeat Westerners, but they can easily defeat Johorese.
The progress was going smoothly, but the "search" was doomed to fail. There were many Han people here, but there were no fishermen from the Ming Dynasty at all!
How to do it?
Sultan Mahmud, who was tortured by the Jin Yiwei, said that in order to express his apology to the fishermen of the Ming Dynasty, he was willing to compensate the land of Johor and the wealth of the Sultan to the Ming Dynasty!
This was not requested by Ming Dynasty, it was voluntary by the Sultan of Johor. How polite!
In order to show respect to the King of Johor, Wang Guanzhen of the Guards personally gave the Sultan of Johor an indigenous wife from Luzon Island.
What about Sultan Mahmoud’s young and beautiful princess?
Of course, on behalf of Sultan Mahmoud, he went to the Ming Dynasty palace to redeem himself as a maid.
Amidst the laughter of Wang Guanzhen and Wali, the smiling Sultan of Johor was at the pier, watching his beloved concubine take the boat to Chengtianfu.
An explorer once went to this jungle and saw their habitat. Facing the invasion of outsiders, the lazy tribe did not take any precautions.
It turned out that they had a strange habit. They would only go out to find something to eat when they were very hungry, and all they ate were wild fruits in the jungle. They had no interest in eating meat, but the main reason was because they were too lazy.
hunt.
In addition, they had no crops or livestock of their own, which made the explorers very curious.
As a last resort, Mahmoud had to wipe away his tears and said that the princess was enough to atone for his sins.
Wang Guanzhen, who was on the side, also heard this and thought to himself: To the north, this Johorese is really unkind. He dedicated his wife to the Emperor of Heaven and let him serve as a eunuch in the palace.
By the way, during the process of conquest, Wang Guanzhen and Wali worked together, squeezed a wave of Johor people, and formed a Johor garrison of 50,000 people.
So how lazy can this lazy tribe be?
Seeing that Johor had almost conquered the territory and Zhu Kezang was in place, the first stop of his inspection was Man Sika.
Later, when Zheng He came back from his voyages to the West and said a few good words to him, Zhu Di named him King of Manlajia.
The name of Malacca in later generations was Malacca.
The only belief in the hearts of the "lazy tribe" is "laziness". This nation does nothing and relies entirely on the gifts of nature to survive.
Look, under the rule of Ming Dynasty, don’t the originally lazy Johor people look quite diligent now?
Afterwards, several teams were sent out to enter the interior with the help of guides, conquering areas one by one. By the time Zhu Kezang came here to inspect, the Guards had effectively completed the conquest of the entire Johor.
Sure enough, if oranges grow in Huainan, they become oranges; if they grow in northern Huaibei, they become oranges. Zhu Kezang shook his head and felt very proud.
Because in a geographical environment like the tropics, there are abundant products, it is not easy to starve to death, and you can eat just enough wild fruits in the wild, so you don't need to be so diligent at all.
The most outrageous thing is that there is a small group of indigenous people in the Johor Peninsula called the "Lazy Tribe".
When Zhu Kezang first got off the ship, he saw the busy crowds everywhere and felt a little relieved.
"My beloved concubine!" Mahmoud said goodbye reluctantly with tears in his eyes.
By the way, laziness is actually a common problem among Southeast Asian natives.
Seeing this, Wang Guanzhen and Wali continued to laugh and laugh, but the Sultan of Johor was the only one who was secretly sad.
This place was originally just a backward tribe. In the third year of Yongle, the tribal chief Xili Balsu La sent people to petition the Ming Dynasty, hoping to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Di did not care.
Even when they saw people coming in, they didn't react at all. They were lying on simple beds as if they were watching the fun. The explorers tried to communicate by giving them food, but they didn't eat anything when it was put in front of them, as if they were eating.
It's like putting it in someone's mouth.
It all depends on the moral level of Wang Guanzhen and Walli.
As for Mahmoud’s fate, needless to say, if he was lucky, he was sent to Luzon to live out his life, but if he was unlucky, he might have sunk along the way.
The Dushun people, Baya people, Shuangxi people, Manchajia people, etc. all live in the form of tribes in various regions. Pan Aqiang goes from southeast to northwest, and Wangguan Town goes from southwest to northeast, first along the coast and then inland.
They sorted it out in such a way that the coast was quickly conquered.
This scene was discovered by Wali, who was laughing at the side. He directly called the Sultan by his name: "Mahmud, how about you and the princess go to atone for your sins?"
Of course, the Johor garrison armed with machetes supervising the work behind the Johor Pier was directly ignored by Zhu Kezang.
Nowadays, the Malacca dynasty is gone, but Malacca still stands here without any change due to the passage of time. In the future, under the Ming Dynasty, it will become one of the most important ports in the Strait of Malacca.
These Johor soldiers were often on the front line of conquering the natives.
It was with the canonization of the Ming Dynasty that the Kingdom of Mansika was able to get rid of the control of the northern Siamese and gradually develop and grow.
There were heavy casualties, and it also happened to wipe out some of Johor's population!
Because the casualties were too high, these Johor soldiers became ruthless. They were completely ruthless towards the indigenous people, so much so that the population of the Johor peninsula dropped sharply!
Johorese and indigenous people are constantly being consumed.
For this reason, they stayed here to observe the living habits of the lazy people.
To be honest, Wang Guanzhen had no choice but to do this. Although these Johor people did not rebel, they were too lazy!
However, the disappearance of Johor does not mean that the matter is over, because in addition to the more civilized Johoreans, there are also many other indigenous people in the Johor peninsula who are independent in their own affairs. Johor really cannot represent them.
All the properties of the Johor nobles were confiscated to compensate for the losses of the missing fishermen of the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, the Johor dynasty disappeared, and Pan Aqiang also occupied a large area in the north.
Instead, he worked conscientiously for the Guards.
Due to the existence of the humanistic concept, when the Ming Dynasty flag was planted on the land of Johor and the Sultan of Johor recognized that the land belonged to the Ming Dynasty, the concept took effect. Even though they were oppressed, these Johor people had no thoughts of rebellion.
At that time, when Wang Guanzhen arrived at the territory of the Lazy Clan, he was shocked. Such a strange ethnic group could actually live safe and sound. It can only be said that this land really "nurtures people"!
These lazy Johor people made Wang Guanzhen accustomed to the "Ming Dynasty speed". For this reason, he had to send some supervisors, otherwise the efficiency would be horribly low.
Zhu Kezang spent two days wandering around Mancajia and found that there were no wonders here that the system was willing to record. He couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Guanzhen seemed to know what Zhu Kezang was thinking, so he said: "Your Majesty, you have been here for two days. Why don't you take you to pay homage to Princess Han Libao? All the Han people who come here will go there."
.”
"Princess Han Libao? Is there really such a person?"
