Chapter 631 The Cult Behind As for the illegal things they did in this place, they would not mention it. After all, that was their dark history, and they never felt that they were wrong. If it has to be done, it must be the fault of the people here. It's because these ordinary people have no idea what compassion is. It seems as if everyone must do business in their way. There is no such thing in reality. Precisely because they know that there is no such good thing, the translators want to tell those who want to take advantage that you guys can only follow behind us God and eat farts forever. But people like translators will probably never understand that if they are allowed to continue like this, the entire country will be ruined. Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that these people love their country so much just to empty themselves. If the king knew about this, he would definitely stop it immediately, otherwise all the citizens would suffer. But these businessmen actually have no idea that what others are doing is actually saving them. After all, what these people did was not a good thing.

You know, if they could slide all their wealth into their own wallets, they would become rich in an instant. But I never thought about such a thing, okay? In fact, they know very well that this is not a good thing at all, but why do they still do it? It's very simple. All they want is for everyone to know that they are the best, but they don't consider at all what would happen if the locals knew how rich they are. They are not members of our ethnic group and they have come from foreign countries. What will the local people think? There must be a lot of resentment. When all this resentment piles up, can anything good come out of it? In fact, this kind of thing has happened many times in history, and most of the time it was caused by a small number of people occupying too much wealth. But there are always some people who think they are the lucky ones who will not be retaliated against. In fact, they had no idea that they had already been on someone's list of targets for retaliation, but they did not expect the Ming Navy to arrive so quickly. Even if these people realize the problem, they actually have no intention of stopping, because many people think that they will not be the unlucky one. It is precisely because of this reason that these people do not know how to restrain themselves, and it is also because of this that they are punished so severely. It’s just that these translators themselves don’t even realize that they are actually breaking the law of heaven. Maybe these business people only care about profits, so they have no idea what these tricks are all about. They even feel that they are wronged. In fact, they have no idea that many people’s families have been broken up because of them. I guess these people will never know that many people are suffering because of them. Of course, these people are also very unlucky, because it is none of their business. They just want to make money, and it is not because of them that those people cannot make money. But human greed makes it impossible for those people to stop, and they will instill all these dangerous signals into those who do business. Although these people are pitiful, they do not understand the principle that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. We can only say that there must be something hateful about pitiful people. In fact, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai may not be unaware of the composition of this group of people. After all, anyone who can make it in Nanyang must be quite capable, so everyone knows very well what kind of people this group of people is. But precisely because everyone knows what kind of people this group is, they are able to follow the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly. Many people actually don’t know that the real role of this group of people is not to act as translators, nor to cause any sabotage here, but their real purpose is to win over the hearts of the people. After all, there are still many people who have left the Central Plains dynasty in Southeast Asia. These people are actually of some use. First of all, they are very familiar with the local situation. With their help, many obstacles can be reduced.

Of course, the main reason is that this group of people do not actually live very well in the local area, and they are very eager to come back, so if we throw them an olive branch now, they will obediently cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. It is based on such considerations that we look at this group of people differently, but it can be seen that this translation is quite reliable. He is not a person who would really betray the national cause. He came to this place out of necessity. According to him, their place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and only faces the sea on one side. There is little land and a large population. If they only rely on the little crops they grow on the land, they will not be able to survive. Therefore, these people have no choice but to flee outside to make a living, because if they don’t, they will surely die. After such considerations, such talents can be considered as useful people. If such a person is only interested in making others take the blame, it is impossible for him to join the Ming Navy. "The two generals may not know that the people here are not the most ruthless. They actually have no bottom line. Now that they see that our Daimyo Navy is so powerful, they want to curry favor with us. Once the pirates gain the upper hand, they will immediately betray us. "This kind of thing has happened frequently in recent years, so we have to be on guard." After listening to the translator's words, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai were in a bad mood. You should know that they are planning to treat this place as an important port for the Ming Dynasty Navy in the future. Although it is still some distance away from the Strait of Malacca, it is the best port. It is precisely because this place is so important that it cannot be messed up. However, after listening to the translator's words, they felt that this place is really not simple. The common people here are even more complicated, so the expressions of the two of them are so serious, because in this situation, if they still want to achieve something, they must solve the problems of the common people here. Thinking of this, both of them looked serious. I originally thought that as long as I could deal with the army here, I would be fine. After all, even the most combat-capable army couldn't deal with the people here, so what else can I say? But what I didn’t expect was that the people here seemed to be even more difficult to deal with. And it's like a dog-skin plaster. To a certain extent, it is even more difficult to deal with than the army here or even the pirates. In this case, we really need to deal with it properly. "Now let's see how we deal with the people here." Wang Dahai said. Captain Liu pondered. Although he had always felt that Wang Dahai was a bit indecisive, it seemed that his decisiveness did not have much effect, so what he had to do now was how to deal with the people. Captain Liu asked the translator beside him: "Do you have any good ideas?" When the translator heard Captain Liu ask this, he was immediately surprised. He never expected that a general of the Ming Dynasty would ask him this question. He knew very well who he was. In fact, he was someone who escaped from the Central Plains Dynasty. People like him should be despised by everyone, but what he didn't expect was that the imperial army didn't seem to care too much about his past. Instead, he was allowed to serve as a translator in the army, giving himself the opportunity to help the daimyo's navy. In fact, he really didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity. He originally thought that this would be the end of his life. If everyone saw him this way, then it would be enough for him as long as he could help the Daimyo Navy. But I didn't expect that Captain Liu would actually ask me this. So the translator thought for a long time and finally said, "Actually, if the general asks this, I do have a solution." After hearing what he said, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai didn't expect it to be true. To be honest, Captain Liu didn't actually have much hope for this translation. He just wanted him to provide some new ways of thinking. But since he had already thought about these things, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let him give it a try. So Captain Liu said, "If you have a solution, I'd really like to hear it."

The translator was even more excited now, "The reason why the people here are like this is actually because this city has always been along the coast. I have stayed in this city for a period of time. "When I was doing business with them, I found that the local people were actually very smart. This is probably because if they were stupid, they would not have lived to this day. "After a long period of observation, we found that as long as these people can get a steady supply of goods from the sea, they will behave themselves." After the translator said this, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai looked at him as if he were a fool. What they meant was, do you need to say this? Everyone knows that as long as there is business, everyone will get rich, so who would rebel? It's the same as not saying it. Seeing the expressions of Liu Baihu and Wang Dahai, the translator knew that if he showed any unique skills, he would definitely be looked down upon by them, so he said again: "In fact, in addition to doing business with them, we can also start with the Wushen religion they believe in." After hearing this, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai finally became interested. Because the method of controlling a place through religious beliefs has existed for a long time. Of course they had thought of this method, but the embarrassing thing now was that although they had just arrived, they still knew a little bit. Many local people believe in this Wushen religion very much, because according to the definition of Wushen religion, the reason why people get sick is because they have a ghost in their heart. If you don’t have a ghost, you won’t get sick. Of course, this is a double-edged sword. If you are sick, the people of the Wushen Cult will tell you that you must have something guilty and have done something wrong. If the patient says, "I have not done anything bad," and the illness is cured, the people of the Wushen cult will say, "See, those who have no right heart can get the forgiveness of the gods." But if someone dies of illness, these people will say, see, we have long said that this person is dishonest and he even dared to lie to the gods, so he was killed by the gods. After listening to the translator's words, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai finally understood why the local people saw the military doctor rescue the old man in just a few moves, so they were sure that the Daimyo Navy was a bit mysterious. Thinking of this, Captain Liu also felt that if he wanted to gain a foothold here, he could start with their sect. After all, it can be seen from their expressions just now that when the military doctors rescued them, the shock they showed did not seem fake at all. Maybe they themselves suddenly realized that military doctors can cure diseases and save lives in this way, and they don't have to be like their so-called gods. It just makes you pious in your heart, and as long as you believe that man can conquer nature, you can cure diseases and save lives. They used to believe this, but now after seeing how powerful these people brought by the Ming Dynasty are, they think this is just a lie. People are often like this. When something just appears in front of them and shows such a strong impact, they will have great doubts about the previous things. This doubt is like a seed that has been planted in the hearts of the people here. They have begun to doubt whether their divine religion is really useful. Of course, Liu Baihu and Wang Dahai also understand that once they shake the foundation of those so-called divine religions. Then, whether it is the disciples of these cults or the vested interests within them, they will surely rise up and attack. So now they understand that if they want to gain a foothold here, develop a port here, and complete the tasks assigned to them by the Governor and others, they must get rid of these so-called charlatans. There will definitely be a real showdown at that time, which may be more fierce than the confrontation with the city lord and the big landlords here. Yes, now his expression is more serious, especially after hearing what the translator said. There is a so-called religious sect that dominates the lives of ordinary people. Maybe they have now eliminated all the so-called mature people and major landlords here, but it still cannot achieve the final result. To a certain extent, it has actually angered the so-called sect behind it.

They were even wondering, why did so many pirates come to this place to settle down before? Was it really just because the local people here could provide them with a safe haven? Or maybe it's not just that, it's more because this so-called sect actually has a great influence. It is even possible that those pirates are also members of this sect, so they are willing to come to this place. When they thought of this, they knew that the sect they would face in the future would be very difficult, so their expressions were very serious... (End of this chapter)
