The attitude of Ming officials is actually understandable. For thousands of years, China has been a state dominated by the heavenly dynasty and self-reliance. Therefore, the Chinese people naturally have a deep-rooted belief that only the Chinese state is valuable, and the barbarian lands of the Tibetan states are worthless no matter how large they are.
So there is no need to know about foreign countries. If you can¡¯t survive, there is no need to go abroad to make a living.
This kind of arrogant mentality was Zhao Hao¡¯s enemy when he started the Ming Dynasty. But what is interesting is that the domestic attitude of concern for overseas mushrooms has protected Zhao Hao to the greatest extent.
Let¡¯s not talk about anything else. If his military parade today were held domestically, for example, on Poyang Lake. After today's performance, it is guaranteed that the memorial announcing his intention to rebel tomorrow will fly to the cabinet like snowflakes. Not to mention my father-in-law, not even my biological father can protect him Well, how can a biological father be as reliable as my father-in-law?
Now, he only needs to order the group to conceal information domestically, and then he can let go of the trouble overseas. Even if rumors spread back, the common people in the market and the princes in the court would know that they would regard it as an exaggeration and laugh it off. No one would offend Zhao Hao today for some baseless rumors.

¡°But for these local emperors in Nanyang, the Jiangnan Group and the coast guard fleet are a real mountain weighing on their heads, reminding them that their father in China is actually a strict father with serious violent tendencies.
On the one hand, dad will protect them and not allow others to bully them anymore. But if any of them disobeys, Dad will still take care of him in his own way. Anyway, Dad has a whole house full of children and grandchildren, so killing one or two of them is nothing.
After boarding the majestic Haiquan, they all became obedient and obedient babies. They honestly gave up their original titles and accepted the reality that they had become chieftains of the Ming Dynasty.
If they were a little reluctant before, then when the review ship sailed into Brunei Bay, the slightest reluctance disappeared.
I saw that in the calm Brunei Bay, more than 300 large and medium-sized warships were densely packed and neatly parked!
Those are all the coast guard warships participating in the Nanyang War. In addition to the combined fleet, the defense fleets of the two major garrison areas and the Luzon Theater also participated in this review!
In order to boost his momentum, Zhao Hao also roped in a new warship launched two years ago. The entire fleet under review included 14 battleships, 32 cruisers, 64 destroyers, 128 frigates, and 60 swordfish galleys.
Adding the two review ships, there are exactly three hundred battleships!
Seeing the scalps of these local emperors go numb, the Queen of Pattani couldn't help but said: "Zheng He's fleet was not so large back then, right?"
"No." Zhao Hao looked back at the elegant queen and said seriously: "We just restored the size of Zheng He's fleet"
As he spoke, he turned back, looked at the huge fleet on the sea and said in a deep voice: "This is the starting point, not the end!"

Of course, such a grand formation is not just for a few Nanyang emperors to see. On board the Deputy Review Ship No. 16, there were also hundreds of people including model figures who emerged from the Nanyang War, outstanding workers of the group, survivors of martyrs, and family members of combat heroes, who were also invited to parade with Zhao Hao.
Xu Brothers Pictures also sent a team of the most capable painters to climb on the mast to capture precious scenes of the military parade, record them in sketches, and later make a full-color promotional video for the people in Luzon and Taiwan who were unable to attend. We will also select some scenes that are not too taboo and play them in Jiangnan Cinemas.
¡°But it is estimated that after Sister Ma has reviewed everything, there will only be a few close-ups and close-ups of characters that can be published in newspapers and theaters
But this does not affect the excitement of the painters at this moment. They have been deeply affected by the atmosphere of the scene, and the brushes in their hands are flying, faithfully recording this moment when the Ming Dynasty became great again!
When the two review ships slowly passed by the mighty fleet that stretched for more than ten miles. Whenever they crossed paths with a warship, the Coast Guard soldiers, wearing full uniforms and standing on the side of the ship like javelins, would, under the leadership of the two chief officers, salute the Commander-in-Chief with roaring roars.
Zhao Hao also wore his Chief Superintendent's uniform and frequently returned gifts to the soldiers. The atmosphere was grand and solemn.
I saw that the navy officers and soldiers on every battleship were all in bright uniforms and motionless. The local emperors were frightened again. They all had armies, so they naturally knew that military capacity and combat effectiveness were directly proportional.
It¡¯s okay to say that the officers and soldiers on Mr. Zhao¡¯s several battleships performed well, but it¡¯s outrageous that all the battleships are equally uniform.
At noon, the maritime review ended. After Mr. Zhao and all the distinguished guests came ashore, they reviewed the marines and soldiers.
Compared to the Coast Guard warships, which are inconvenient to move and can be formed at will according to the time of day, the infantry can do more tricks.
After Mr. Zhao and the distinguished guests boarded the temporary reviewing stand, Marine Corps Commander Wu Da, who served as the commander-in-chief of the land parade, wore a straight woolen police officer's uniform, with gold stars shining on his shoulders, and enamel medals and medals on his chest. shine.
He ran to the reviewing stand, saluted Zhao Hao, and said loudly in a strong voice: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the troops under review have been assembled, please give instructions!"
"Start the review!" Zhao Hao said in a deep voice after returning the gift.
"Yes!" Wu Da stood at attention, stepped back, turned around and ordered loudly: "The pacesetters are in place!"
With his order, 60 carefully selected military parade pacesetters stepped onto the stage carrying rifles with shining silver and bayonets like snow, kicking off the land parade.
60 pacesetters formed a ladder and separated to both sides of the reviewing stand at the same time. They swung their arms, kicked their legs, and landed with precision and accuracy. The heels of military boots hit the newly paved concrete floor of the parade ground, and they were even and uniform without any noise.
From entering the venue to the last pacesetter completing his last move, there was no mistake at all.
After the pacesetters took their positions, eight buglers blew the Coast Guard assembly horn, and the procession began.
When you see the officers and soldiers in the square formation, no matter you look at them horizontally, vertically or diagonally, they are all straight and uniform, without any disorder. The 81 pairs of feet in the square formation rise and fall at the same time, and each step is as if measured with a ruler, so it is possible to maintain such a perfect formation while marching.
People on the stage who had never seen a military parade were all so surprised that they opened their mouths from ear to ear. Some people may not have had much experience with the previous maritime parade, but each of these infantry phalanxes shocked everyone. The rumbling footsteps were like stepping on people's hearts every time, giving them a strong sense of oppression.
When the phalanx passed the reviewing stand, the commander of the phalanx drew out his sharp command knife and shouted a command: "Salute!"
The officers and soldiers all changed to goose-stepping. At the same time, they changed their hands and raised the Longqing rifles on their shoulders, raised their frosty bayonets and performed a gun salute.
The forest of bayonets that suddenly rose up reflected the sunlight onto the reviewing stand, blinding many spectators and making them frightened.
After the formation, artillery firing was held.
There was a round of bombardment at sea and land. In order to achieve better program effects, the director team had to add materials in advance.
However, the scene of the warship being reviewed fired a salvo into the sea, and thousands of cannonballs instantly shattered a fleet of target ships into pieces, leaving no trace behind, was enough to make the Turkish emperors unforgettable for the rest of their lives.
Then came the prisoner presentation ceremony, which still opened the eyes of the Turkish emperors.
This is a total of 100,000 prisoners!
Of the 80,000 prisoners in Brunei City, after two months of quarantine, only more than 70,000 survived.
There are also the last three thousand prisoners who survived in Cebu City.
As well as the more than 14,000 red-haired ghosts captured last year 19,000 were initially captured, and 17,000 were left after quarantine. After hard labor in the Baguio gold mines, more than 3,000 died in less than a year. ¡
So it¡¯s not that the Indian miners¡¯ lives are fragile at all, it¡¯s that the red-haired ghosts don¡¯t regard them as human beings. Now if we don¡¯t treat the red-haired ghosts as human beings, they will die without even recognizing them.
Zhao Hao brought these Spaniards who were sentenced to life-long hard labor to Brunei. First, he wanted to show the Turkish emperors and the representatives attending the ceremony that the coast guard and the red-haired ghost really had a brutal decisive battle. In the end, in order to avoid It was only because of the losses that we adopted the tactic of siege but not attack.
Secondly, the most dangerous work at the Baguio Gold Mine has been completed, and it is time to join a regular miner, so that the mine can improve efficiency and produce more gold. Instead of being ruined by a bunch of prisoners
On the Borneo side, there is an urgent need for a large number of laborers to carry out the arduous preparations for immigration, such as land reclamation, road construction, burning grass, logging, etc. The early mortality rate is even as high as one-third.
In the Nanyang region, which is full of primeval forests and swamps, these tasks have to be done at the expense of human lives. There is no other way.
In another time and space, the Dutch and British colonists recruited overseas Chinese from Fujian and Guangdong to reclaim wasteland and used the lives of the Han people to turn Nanyang into a livable place.
This time Zhao Hao used the red-haired ghost's life to fill the hole, tit for tat, nothing to feel guilty about.
Borneo is worth filling with human lives. It is as big as seven Luzon islands, with gentle undulating terrain, abundant rainfall, crisscrossed rivers, tropical rainforest covering almost the entire island, and the soil is volcanic ash.
Although the acidic volcanic ash soil in Borneo is much worse than the basic volcanic ash soil in Luzon and Java, it is still rare and high-quality soil, and it is still virgin land. The difficulty of farming is far less than that of the Ming Dynasty, which has been cultivated for thousands of years and has long been barren.
In addition, Borneo¡¯s abundant water resources can not only be used to irrigate rice, but also can install water conservancy machines such as waterwheels to drive spinning machines, looms, rice mills, etc.
The reserves of copper, iron and coal are also abundant and easy to mine. For today's Jiangnan Group, it does not take much effort to build a self-sufficient small society and then embed it into the group's large division of labor.
