Xinshun 1730

Chapter 754 Performance Battle ([-])
Hope?
Hope for a hammer.

Liu Yu thought to himself, the celestial dynasty you are looking forward to is a celestial dynasty that is called a fucking celestial dynasty, where tributary states only have rights but no obligations.

You absolutely do not look forward to the present Heavenly Dynasty.

As long as the domestic handicraft industry has advantages, no country encourages piracy when its own handicraft industry and industrial advantages are superior.

Dashun is far from "free trade".

However, Dashun's own handicraft industry and export advantages made Dashun deeply hate pirates.Liu Yu never encouraged "private boats" and the like. He learned something when he saw Europeans engaging in privateers, that is to wait for the rabbit.

The British encouraged privateers because of the trade between the Spanish colonies and Spain; the French encouraged privateers because of the trade between England and the North American colonies.

Is Dashun out of his mind?Dashun is the largest source and exporter of goods, to encourage privateers and hinder the country's exports?
Don't talk about idealistic nonsense that only exists in fantasy worlds such as privateers robbing foreign ships and not robbing domestic ships.

Not to mention that you know whether he robs or not when you can’t see it. It’s just that whether they rob a British ship or a Dutch ship, the goods on the ship are either silk or porcelain. What are the benefits of Shun's export?
A few years ago, Su Lu made a statement, hoping to become a tributary country like North Korea, and his purpose was also to find a big backer.

Dashun is now going to Nanyang. He neither engages in slave trade nor likes pirates at all... If it is really done, Nanyang will be Dashun's inland sea. Who will encourage pirates in their own inland sea?
As for Dashun's dislike of the slave trade, it was because Dashun had a lot of "excess" population. Wouldn't the slaves take the jobs of Dashun's "excess" population?

North America can engage in the slave trade because of the local labor shortage; Ceylon can engage in the slave trade because the Sinhalese have the buddhist cohesion of Buddhism and the nation's awakening from the historical inertia of the country in 2000, and they need Tamils.

What kind of slave trade is Dashun doing in Nanyang?
Does Dashun lack cheap labor?

In the year of the catastrophe, children and daughters were sold for ten taels of silver.A black slave in North America, the better price is 40 pounds, 120 taels of silver, the labor force in Dashun is much cheaper than that of black slaves, isn’t it a disease of the mind to engage in the slave trade?

Sulu’s land is barren, and now it relies on its “location advantage” to engage in slave trade and “Oriental Barbary Pirates” to make a living, so that the Portuguese gave these people a very Algiers name “Moros”, and The etymology of the Moors in North Africa, famous for their piracy and slave trade, agrees.

If Su Lu can support Dashun to go to Nanyang, Liu Yu is the first to not believe it.

Not to mention anything else, one of the first things that Dashun will do after going to Nanyang is to wipe out the "Nanyang Barbary Pirates" and destroy them together with their old nests.

This Sulu is still able to write a set of standard vocabulary in the tribute table, "the sky has no strong wind and rain, and the sea is calm, knowing that there must be saints in China..." This set of standard vocabulary.

The attitudes of other countries towards Dashun can also be imagined - if they know the policies that Dashun will implement.

Today's "show battle" against Malacca is also crucial.At least in the early stage, Dashun can gain a firm foothold, and in the later stage, when Dashun strikes hard, all countries can know what to expect.

In Liu Yu's view, in the huge Nanyang, Dashun will not be able to reform the land and return to the people in a short time.Don't talk about Nanyang, first understand the Southwest region and the Sichuan-Tibet region, which is better than anything else, how can you have so much energy to do it here?
But on the one hand, Dashun destroyed the trade system created by Portugal-the Netherlands; Ruler skills.

At this moment, because the Fort Santiago, considered indestructible in the eyes of these small Nanyang countries, was forced to marry by Dashun with almost harmless tactics, all kinds of praises produced by Dashun could only be regarded as slightly useful in Liu Yu's ears.

With the words of the envoy of the Sulu Kingdom, Liu Yu cupped his hands towards the north and said: "The Holy Son of Heaven knew that you and others admire Wanghua. He built ships in ten years, trained troops in ten years, and went to Nanyang in twenty years."

"What is it doing? Isn't it just to drive away the Westerners?"

"The power of the Celestial Dynasty is strong, but it does not suppress people with power. Mencius said: Those who use force to convince others are not convinced by the heart, and power is not supportive. Those who use virtue to convince others are sincerely convinced, just like the Seventy Sons obeyed Confucius."

"Facing all of you now, I can also say that the Celestial Dynasty must be different from the forced conversion of the Portuguese and the insatiable greed of the Dutch."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the Dashun flag flying on the ruined Fort Santiago in the distance and said: "You have seen one out of ten of the mighty army of the Celestial Dynasty. With this, we can strengthen the army and conquer from east to west. Can people stop it? It's just a tolerance from the Celestial Dynasty to the tributary country."

"The ancients said that the king does not rule the barbarians, he does not reject those who come, and does not pursue those who go. Whether he pays tribute or not, the attitude is the same."

"Don't reject those who come, don't chase those who go."

That being said, it sounds plausible.

The so-called not rejecting those who come and not pursuing those who go is also the so-called "not taking the initiative and not rejecting".

If you are willing to pay tribute, you will pay tribute; if you are not willing to pay tribute, you will not pay tribute, and love will not come.

But it's time to say this.

When Song was weak, it sounded very self-comforting to say that.

But now, Fort San Diego has just been blown up, thousands of marines are assembled here, and the largest fleet that these small country envoys have seen since their birth is still floating on the sea.

Paying tribute or not, it is said that those who come do not refuse and those who go do not pursue, but who dares not to pay tribute?
Southeast Asia and India are different. These small countries are no strangers to tribute.This thing is like raising a child, even after a long time, if you raise another one, you can do it with ease.

The tributary celestial dynasties of Southeast Asian countries are not the same thing as the tribute celestial dynasty of North Korea.

North Korea paid tribute to the Celestial Dynasty, which had important trade interests in mind. The silk and porcelain sold to Japan every year were bought during the tribute.

The distorted Confucian caste system with North Korean characteristics has allowed North Korea to completely control foreign trade, and private individuals cannot trade.

The countries in Southeast Asia pay tribute to the Celestial Dynasty, which has little to do with trade.

Chinese maritime merchants run everywhere, and Chinese can pack taxes and mines in various countries.Chinese maritime merchants can leave a reputation in Southeast Asia as "Tang people are treacherous and untrustworthy" just like in Mongolia. How can there be any official monopoly trade demand?
Now Liu Yu mentioned the matter of paying tribute through the collapsed Fort Santiago, which is much easier than "sending ten elephants to pretend that the two countries are equal" in Ceylon.

The envoy of the Sulu Kingdom took the lead, and the rest of the people glanced at the collapsed Fort Santiago from the corner of their eyes, and they all said that they would send a tribute mission to Shenjing in a few days.

Even if the country is poor and barren, it is necessary to offer tribute to the emperor and so on.

Liu Yu clasped his hands to the north again and said: "The Heavenly Dynasty has a vast land and rich resources, and has everything; the Holy Son of Heaven is benevolent and despises profit, not wealth."

"In the past, Chu used Baomao as a tribute. How could the emperor dislike the cheapness of Baomao? You are so poor and the country is barren. Is it possible that the holy emperor wants you to contribute a lot of property?"

"In order to prevent the contribution of silver, North Korea closed its own silver mines. It only said that North Korea is poor and does not produce gold and silver, so as not to contribute. This is really a villain's heart, and a gentleman's heart."

Although this is a very "scene talk", in fact, if there are experts in these small countries, they can understand the meaning of Liu Yu's words.

In the feudal tribute system, whether the suzerain country considers economic interests will not be mentioned.But if economic interests are considered, the symbol is "contribution", which is very characteristic of the feudal era.

But Dashun actually tried to take a different route in its rule of Nanyang, and tried a new type of tributary relationship.

Counting on the contribution of feudal obligations is too outdated in this era.

Dashun is also trying, giving Liu Yu a lot of autonomy.

The economy of Southeast Asia has already been completely distorted into colonization.

After Dashun occupied Nanyang, many things will be different from before in order to transform Nanyang according to Dashun's needs.

But the overall thinking is not far from the thinking in Portugal and the Netherlands.

become part of the trading system.

It is nothing more than the Portuguese and Dutch era, and what they want is spices.

In the era of Dashun, what we wanted was spices, cotton, and indigo, and it became a dumping ground for Dashun handicrafts.

When Liu Yu said this, he also hoped that these small countries in Nanyang would let go of their worries.Dashun is not very willing to use the patriarchal relationship of feudal obligations to get along with Nanyang countries, because Dashun is still clear-headed. With this skill, it is better to focus on North Korea and northern Vietnam.

These small Nanyang countries don't have to worry, Dashun treats them with a complete feudal patriarchal relationship, making them all like vassal states.

Although, actually it is.

However, Liu Yu doesn't care about the formalism of the upper class. What's more important is to impact their original social structure and disintegrate the economic foundation of each country.

Paying tribute takes a form.

The real thing is economics.

But paying tribute is very important to Dashun.

Liu Yu didn't care. He felt that it was neither a royal monopoly, nor a monopoly, nor an era of Zheng He's voyages. Tribute and so on were really just a formality.

It's just that the emperor must like the feeling of "all nations come to court".

Southeast Asia is broken into one place, not to mention the coming of all nations to the DPRK, it is not a big problem to gather dozens of them.

The ministers of the DPRK and China did not understand the economic issues in Southeast Asia very well—although Liu Yu’s achievements were not to allow countries to pay tribute, but these ministers did not understand deeper things—so tribute, which has been completely reduced to formalism in Southeast Asia, It is very important to Dashun.

Liu Yu's last words also made the envoys of many small countries breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as the tributes of the Sulu Kingdom in the past show that they understand China well, many small countries are in Southeast Asia, and they are very clear about the tribute.

They still don't know about Dashun's new methods and new policies.In view of past experience, since Liu Yu said that the imperial court did not value the value of the tribute at all, then there was nothing to worry about.

Just grab something and go there, that's all.In exchange for the protection of the Celestial Dynasty and the continuation of the orthodoxy of this dynasty, wouldn't it be a big profit?
