Chapter 241: Adapting measures to local conditions and obtaining legal reincarnation with the permission of the court(2/2)
Because whether it is Medan in Southeast Asia or Dongsheng Prefecture in the New World, the appearance of the local indigenous people is not very different from that of the Central Plains people, and their culture is seriously backward. They are almost equivalent to primitive tribes, and they are very easy to accept the civilized rule of the Ming Dynasty.
The places mentioned by Zhu Han are all in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes.
But there was one thing that was beyond his expectation.
"Wuzang? Do you want to divide even this place?"
Zhu Han finally proposed this place, which surprised his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang.
Uzang is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Since the collapse of the Tubo Dynasty, the entire plateau has been in a state of chaos.
After the rise of Mongolia, they briefly ruled the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but the harsh local climate made it unbearable for the brave and fighting Mongols, and they soon placed the area under the jurisdiction of the Xuanzhengyuan, which was equivalent to giving them a high degree of autonomy.
When Chen Youliang occupied Sichuan, he fought fierce battles with the Tibetan tribes in the eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, causing them great damage.
After the Ming army occupied the southwest, facing the more powerful Ming Dynasty, the Qinghai-Tibet and Tubo tribes took the initiative to surrender in good faith.
The Ming Dynasty opened extensive trading markets in the Xichuan area, and high-quality and low-priced materials quickly poured into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, alleviating the serious shortage of various local living materials.
The various tribes in Tubo were even more convinced by the Ming Dynasty.
After all, all the Central Plains dynasties in history took strict precautions against the Tubo people, strictly limiting the number of transactions ranging from salt and tea that they needed in daily life to iron and metal products.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Ming Dynasty has gradually entered the age of firearms, and the status of the original cold weapons has gradually declined, and the Tibetan and Tubo tribes no longer restrict the trade of various metals, ironware and other materials.
Although the Qingtang of Tubo is the strongest Qingtang armor produced in the Qinghai area.
But even the strongest Qingtang armor could not stop a Ming army's musket.
In fact, the vast majority of the Tubo tribes were not very ferocious and warlike. After receiving material supplies from the Ming Dynasty, their basic survival was guaranteed.
How could they take the initiative to fight against the powerful Ming army?
"Now there is no monarch in Qinghai and Tibet, and there is no unified Dharma king. This is the most suitable time to promote the Ming Dynasty's teachings!" Zhu Han said quickly from the side.
The current divisions among the various tribes in Tubo are not only political divisions, they are also in a state of religious division.
Several sects of Tibetan Buddhism have developed rapidly over the past few hundred years.
Each sect affects a considerable amount of land and population.
At this time, if the Ming Dynasty sent a vassal king to represent the central government, it would be easy to control various factions in the hands of the court.
"According to your opinion, if you enfeoff this Uzang, do you still have to let him lead various sects?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked immediately.
Zhu Han smiled, and he really guessed what he was thinking.
"That's right, that's what I think. The Tibetans all believe that the eminent monk Dharma King will be reincarnated, so the court will send a vassal king, who will not only rule the place and educate the people, but also manage the reincarnation of the eminent Dharma King on behalf of the court!"
"Any reincarnation without the permission of the Ming Dynasty is illegal!"
"Since it is illegal, it is impossible to be canonized by the imperial court, and it is not qualified to lead the people!"
"If anyone reincarnates illegally and dares to preach illegally, then Ming Dynasty will use his head to strictly enforce the law!"
Zhu Han's strategy has proven to be effective in later generations.
