Although the conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty were relatively harsh, Talong had no other choice but to accept them.
However, the Ming Dynasty had always been relatively lenient to the vassal countries, and the prince's freedom would not be restricted when he went to Beijing, so it was considered acceptable.
After the Ming army occupied Toungoo, they disbanded the Burmese army and selected 10,000 soldiers to form the King's Guard, which was responsible for stationing in major cities such as Toungoo to protect the tax collectors sent by the king.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty Navy had occupied the coastal cities of Yangon and Maungdaw in Myanmar, and built a naval base here, especially the naval base in Maungdaw, where 5,000 Guards were stationed.
Maungdaw borders India. , it is easy to reach India whether by sea or land, and is a very important city.
When Dongyu surrendered, the Southern Military Region of the Ming Dynasty and the South Vietnamese Allied Forces had already reached the border of Nanzhang.
The Nanzhang army was unable to resist the wolf-like coalition forces and was soon captured.
Tong Kang was seriously ill and died after being frightened. , the Ming army established Tong Kang's younger brother Weisai as the king of the south.
Weisai submitted a surrender map to the Ming Dynasty and officially became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
At this point, the five countries of Myanmar, Nanzhang, South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Siam in the Indochina Peninsula have all become vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty established naval bases in Yangon and Maungdaw in Myanmar, Bangkok in Siam, Nha Trang in Cambodia, Hue and Thanh Hoa in South Vietnam, and a Guards base in Vientiane.
Myanmar ceded the land north of Mengsa to the Ming Dynasty, and Nanzhang ceded the land north of Bokeo to the Ming Dynasty, which reduced the distance between the Ming Dynasty and the capitals of these countries to less than 300 miles.
If there is a change in its country, it can Troops were dispatched to quell the situation in a short period of time.
These countries are rice-producing areas.
The Ming Dynasty stipulated that Burma should pay tribute of one million shi of rice every year, Nanzhang should pay tribute of 500,000 shi of rice every year, Cambodia should pay tribute of 500,000 shi of rice every year, and South Vietnam should pay tribute of 800,000 shi of rice every year.
The market price will be given as a yearly gift.
This tribute system is actually equivalent to a transaction.
Since it is a transaction, there is a very important principle: fairness.
The Ming Dynasty purchased rice according to the market price, which reflected this fairness, so the vassal states were very satisfied.
Sinicization has always been the most important policy of the Ming Dynasty in foreign vassal areas.
These countries were originally areas deeply influenced by Han culture.
The Dai people, the main ethnic group like Siam, actually came from China, so Sinicization education was not carried out in these places.
Little resistance was encountered.
For example, in South Vietnam, their official writing has always been Chinese, and the people use both Chinese and Nom.
After Mo Jingkuan officially surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Han people came to South Vietnam and began to teach the South Vietnamese people Chinese and Chinese characters.
After the Ming Emperor issued an order allowing South Vietnamese to participate in the Ming Dynasty's imperial examinations, the South Vietnamese people's enthusiasm for learning Chinese quickly increased.
South Vietnamese people are proud of being able to recognize and write "Confucian characters", that is, Chinese characters.
Later, Mo Jingkuan stipulated that all South Vietnamese officials must speak Chinese.
After writing Chinese characters, the promotion of Chinese ushered in a very good period. .
Even the South Vietnamese on the edge of the city began to speak Chinese, and despised those who spoke Chinese, thinking that they were country folk.
The famous history book of South Vietnam, the Complete History of Dai Viet, was originally written in Chinese characters.
However, the number of this book was small and it was not widely circulated.
On the grounds of re-designation and printing, the Ming court collected all the historical records of Dai Viet, revised them, printed them, and then sent them back to Chinese schools across South Vietnam.
As for the content of the modification, it is of course to beautify the relationship between China and South Vietnam, so that the South Vietnamese people know that the South Vietnamese people are originally Chinese descendants, and South Vietnam is an inseparable part of China.
Chinese education in South Vietnam has been going on for several years, and we have encountered some problems and accumulated some experience.
Therefore, after the surrender of Myanmar and other countries, these experiences can be applied to Myanmar and other countries.
The Ming Dynasty's goal is to make Chinese-speaking people in these places become the mainstream in about fifty years, and do its best to suppress their original languages.
It is best to It can make them a rare language that only researchers know.
The surrender of these countries also made the chieftains in Yunnan, Guizhou and other places more honest.
Because part of Burma's rice is transported by land to Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, if the chieftains are honest and obedient and support the schools sent by the Ming Dynasty, they can get some food assistance.
Such a good thing is for those who live a normal life.
Natives who are not very well-off are extremely attractive.
After taking Indochina under its control, the only things Ming had to deal with in Asia were the Portuguese who occupied Malacca and the Dutch who occupied Java.
It's just that both countries have signed non-aggression treaties with Ming Dynasty, so Ming Dynasty can't find a reason to deal with them for the time being, and everyone maintains peace on the surface.
Once the Indochina Peninsula was settled, Ming Dynasty began to carry out plans for studying abroad.

The overseas student plan has actually been going on for some time.
Students with strong language skills are selected from the capital universities to learn European languages from missionaries, mainly Italian, French, German, English, Spanish, and Portuguese, because only Missionaries who understand these languages.
When the priest of Jinnige was about to return to the Holy See to report his work, Zhu Youxiao sent Wang Zheng to follow him and live in Europe.
Wang Zheng's identity was the Ming Emperor's special envoy.
He had learned Italian and German and was a Catholic himself.
He was a more suitable candidate for diplomacy with Europe.
Of course, the emperor's intention to send envoys to Europe caused great controversy in the court.
Most officials believe that China can only position other countries as vassal states.
No country in the world can be on an equal footing with China.
In the words of Sun Chengzong: "They are just barbarians.
Either send troops to wipe them out or let them pay tribute to China.
How can we establish any diplomatic relations on an equal footing?"
Sun Chengzong had had a lot of dealings with the Portuguese and Dutch in the South China Sea.
It is conceivable that he was opposed to it, and of course other officials would be opposed to it.
Among the cabinet and various ministers, only Xu Guangqi and Sun Chuanting supported this matter.
Xu Guangqi did see some of the advantages of the West over the Ming Dynasty, so he felt that communication with the West other than missionary work should be carried out.
Sun Chuanting, on the other hand, now has blind trust in the emperor and believes that as long as the emperor thinks it is good, it must be beneficial to Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youxiao had no choice.
If even these ministers could not understand the significance of transportation to the West, then it was obviously impossible to hope that ordinary people could understand it.
So after discussing with Xu Guangqi, he decided to popularize Western scientific knowledge to the ministers and let them understand that some things in the West were actually superior to the Ming Dynasty
