Chapter 2034 Inside and Outside the Palace (Circle 7) Cen Ling and Spices ([-]K)
The Dutch's first trip to Nanyang was obviously a failure, but the Dutch were not discouraged. They quickly sent a second fleet to Nanyang as in the original history. This time, the fleet commander was still the same as in the original history. Van Necker.

Perhaps because the members of the Hotman fleet went back and publicized the strength of the local fleet in Nanyang, Necker basically did not have the idea of ​​​​conquering by force during this trip, but was going to do business honestly.

However, what Neke did not expect was that because he was not familiar with the ocean currents and wind directions, he did not arrive at the city of Malacca in the Portuguese population, but plunged into Lanwuli - now the place has been renamed Lingyun Mansion, the local guard The envoy's name was Cen Ling.

That's right, it is the Seventh Young Master Cen from Guangxi and King Cen Yan from Annan.His current official position is the deputy envoy of the Xuanwei Department of the Old Port and the guardian of Aceh. His jurisdiction is the territory of the Aceh Kingdom when Nanyang was first pacified.

The size of the territory has not yet been surveyed by Jinghua, so there is no accurate data. Gao Yushi roughly estimates that it may be more than 5 square kilometers, which is basically about half the size of Zhejiang Province.Of course, the level of development is far worse.

In later generations, Aceh is one of the two special administrative regions of the Republic of Indonesia. It is located in the westernmost part of Indonesia, at the northern tip of Sumatra Island, bordering the Strait of Malacca in the north and the Indian Ocean in the west. It covers an area of ​​5.539 square kilometers, about 3% of the total land area of ​​Indonesia.However, later generations of Indonesia did not occupy the entire Nanyang Islands, so Cen Ling currently occupies about 2% of the Nanyang Islands.

Later Aceh is one of the provinces with the richest natural resources in Indonesia, rich in oil, natural gas, rubber, gold, silver and timber.Among them, the natural gas plant produces about 1200 million tons of liquefied natural gas per year, accounting for more than [-]% of Indonesia's liquefied natural gas exports.

But it is a pity that oil and natural gas cannot be extracted now, and rubber...the seeds have not been harvested yet.Therefore, apart from gold and silver mines and timber, the current economy of Aceh basically only has spices left.

When Cen Ling moved to Aceh, the premise was that the Kingdom of Aceh was destroyed by Jinghua, but according to tradition, Jinghua needed to send troops to be famous, so what was the reason for Jinghua to use troops against Aceh at that time?This will turn the time back to the time when Jinghua occupied the entire Longya Peninsula.

At that time, as the news of the Spanish Armada's disastrous defeat by England spread to the Indian Peninsula in South Asia, the Governor of Goa, Portugal, without any hesitation, fully accepted the handover agreement proposed by Huang Zhiting for the city of Malacca.

At the same time, under the auspices of Huang Zhiting, the two sides signed the "Trade and Cooperation Agreement between Siam, Annan, Cambodia, Nanzhang, Bago, Luzon and the Kingdom of Portugal", referred to as the "Seven-Nation Agreement".

According to the agreement, the Kingdom of Portugal successfully obtained the promise of the "Group of Six" to allow it to freely preach, and its so-called Catholic "patronage", because the Pope has no actual influence in the East, was also instructed by the "Six Nations" by Gao Yushi. Group" acknowledged.

In exchange for these two items, Portugal declared that it "understands and complies with the "Longya Strait Navigation System"" and reaffirmed its position of "respecting the inviolable suzerainty of the Ming Empire over the countries and regions in Southeast Asia". The words were written into the "Seven Powers Agreement".

Then Huang Zhiting personally led the army to enter the city of Malacca, and announced on behalf of her husband, Gao Pragmatically, that the city of Malacca was renamed Longya City, the peninsula where it was located was officially named Longya Peninsula, and the adjacent strait was officially named Longya Strait.

The entire Dragon Tooth Peninsula was taken by the Kingdom of Siam in terms of ownership, but the Siamese King Maha Tamaraja’s edict had been brought along with the army, announcing that the Kingdom of Siam would set the entire Dragon Tooth Peninsula as a “trusted territory” , is fully managed by Jinghua Group, regardless of politics, military system and everything else is determined by Jinghua.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Zhiting announced Gao Pragmatic's appointment letter: Gao Ruichu was appointed as the first tour envoy of Longya's superintendent, and Mu Sally was appointed as the first guardian envoy of Longya's superintendent.The sultanates such as Johor and the city-states such as Su Luoge that existed on the original Longya Peninsula were either puppet states of Portugal or buffer states. Now, as Jinghua's army goes south, they will all be withdrawn and declared dead.

Due to Gao Pragmatism and Huang Zhiting's successful combination of economic temptation, political coercion, and military threats, Jinghua Group has completed a feat of winning about 24 square kilometers of territory without bloodshed!

Dragon tooth, dragon tooth, dragon tooth!
To the south of this tooth is the Indonesian archipelago of later generations, and to the west is the Indian Peninsula.

However, there is a small problem here... As mentioned earlier, the sultanates such as Johor and the city-states such as Su Luoge that existed on the original Longya Peninsula were all revoked and declared dead as Jinghua's army went south.As a result, the Aceh Kingdom was suddenly furious.

Someone may ask, the Kingdom of Aceh is in the north of Sumatra, and the Longya Peninsula is separated from it by the Longya Strait.No matter how things develop on the peninsula, it seems that Aceh has nothing to do with it. Why is it so angry?

Here is a bit of historical reason: around the end of the 13th century, Indian, Persian and Arab merchants sent their ships to Lanwuli (Lanwuli) in the northwest of Sumatra Island. It has become the "Mecca Corridor" of Southeast Asia.

In 1500, Ali Muhaya Shah, a native of Aceh, established himself as the sultan and formally established a certain religious monarchy in Aceh.

Subsequently, Aceh conquered Pidi and Suventra, monopolizing the commercial areas of northern Sumatra.Therefore, Aceh has become a religious center and commercial trade area in Southeast Asia.

In 1521, Aceh began to launch a series of "jihads" to drive away the Portuguese colonists and monopolize the pepper producing areas. In 1537, Aceh began to attack Malacca controlled by the Portuguese.

When Arauddin Riayat Shah was in power, Aceh continued to expand abroad, developed maritime trade, formed a fleet, defeated the invasion of Portuguese colonists many times, and successively suppressed the two countries of Aru and Johor.

In 1547, Aceh launched a fierce offensive against the Portuguese and defeated the Portuguese. In 1564, Aceh attacked the Kingdom of Johor, captured the Sultan of the Kingdom of Johor, and destroyed the city of Johor.

In 1568, Aceh attacked Malacca, but this time they suffered a disastrous defeat. In 1569, Aceh, unwilling to fail, planned to raid the city of Malacca. However, the times were changing, and the Portuguese warships at this time were no longer what they used to be.

During this battle, Aceh's fleet, which claimed to have as many as 200 ships, besieged a Portuguese carrack sailing ship and failed. It lost face and morale plummeted. In the end, Aceh was forced to abandon the raid plan due to its lack of strength.

After learning from the painful experience, Aceh reached its peak in the period of Iskandar Muda's administration, so he fought against the Portuguese again and attacked the city of Malacca occupied by the Portuguese colonists many times.

Although it failed to occupy Malacca, it also conquered Pahang Island, Kedah Island, Perak Island, Nias Island and Indarapura near Malacca. Therefore, in addition to North Sumatra, it also occupied the Malay Peninsula. In some areas, until the Jinghua army went south from Siam. (Note: But Aceh can survive for a long time in the original history.)
In other words, here are a few things worth noting:

First, Aceh and Portugal are old enemies. The two sides have been fighting for almost 80 years, and the relationship between them can be said to be irreconcilable; Some regions...then lead to the third and fourth.

Third, when Jinghua took these areas, it took them according to the property of the Portuguese colonies, because from a certain "contract legal theory", when Aceh occupied these areas, there was no peace treaty with Portugal, and before When Portugal took these places, it forced its opponents to sign.

As a result, Jinghua won these areas through an agreement with Portugal. From the perspective of Jinghua, it is completely reasonable, but from the perspective of Aceh, it is considered that Jinghua invaded them.

Fourth, the agreement reached between Jinghua and Portugal includes not only the exchange of territories for navigation, but also a trade agreement.For example, the "Agreement" stipulates that the contracting parties shall be the most-favored nation for trade, and the tariffs and customs duties shall be maintained between 5% and 15% according to the detailed agreement, of which the highest tax rate of 15% is limited to luxury goods tariffs.

Considering that the "Six Nations Group" is actually just making Jinghua's white gloves in many cases, and the silk and porcelain from Ming Dynasty still occupy a considerable share of Jinghua's goods.

These two types of products are classified as luxury goods, so theoretically Portugal will benefit more. Therefore, the two parties also agreed that the Kingdom of Portugal will open its strongholds in India to allow the use of Jinghua ships, and all rights in the use process shall be in accordance with the National vessel calculation.

This means that through this paper agreement, the relationship between Jinghua and Portugal has changed from a relationship that was originally tense to a war that may break out at any time. It has become a trading partner and turned an enemy into a friend.

Of course, from the point of view of hindsight, part of the reason why Portugal obediently admits defeat is that they have too many opponents in Nanyang, Aceh is an example.But for this point, Huang Zhiting didn't even care about it even if she was always cautious and pragmatic.

As I said earlier, Aceh and Portugal are old enemies.Since Jinghua and Portugal turned enemies into friends, based on the simple truth that an enemy's friend is an enemy, Aceh naturally considered Jinghua to be their enemy.

As a result, Yaqiu's whole country "turned black" on Jinghua, and began to actively want to meet Jinghua.Of course, Aceh also knows that since Jinghua can force Portugal to voluntarily give up the city of Malacca, which they regard as a key place, it is obvious that the strength behind it is strong enough, and Aceh alone may not be an opponent.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Aceh began to actively contact allies, hoping to form an anti-Jinghua alliance, and then fight to the death with Jinghua.

It is a pity that this plan was not realized, or that the realization process deviated seriously from expectations.When the Nanyang Fleet started to intervene in Manga and other countries on the grounds that it was ordered to restore the Old Port Xuanwei Division, Aceh thought that the opportunity had come, and unilaterally announced that it would join forces with Manga.

Undoubtedly, this was a decision to die, so that the Nanyang Fleet was overjoyed after hearing the news-it was true that someone sent a pillow as soon as they fell asleep. In their opinion, this decision in Aceh was purely a door-to-door delivery, which is wonderful Word.

Therefore, the follow-up is naturally the armed parade in Jinghua, and there is really nothing to say about the battle process.

The reason why Aceh was able to confront Portugal was actually relying on manpower superiority, because Portugal was very short of manpower, with a population of just over one million in the whole country, how many soldiers could it have in its colonies?The status of such a huge city of Malacca is very important, but there are only more than 600 serious Portuguese troops in the city.

With a third-rate European army of more than 600 people, plus a few thousand servants, with this strength, the Kingdom of Aceh, with a population of nearly one million, can really rely on manpower.

However, when it was Jinghua's turn to leave the field in person, the situation was quite different.The Kingdom of Aceh not only has no advantages in equipment, training, tactics, organization, and even military strength.

However, at this time, the Nanyang Fleet still found another excuse, brazenly dispatching troops on the grounds that the Kingdom of Aceh supported pirate forces to rob the Ming merchant ships, and easily wiped out the main force of the Kingdom of Aceh's navy.

Then, the Nanyang Fleet ignored the fact that the Kingdom of Aceh had sent envoys to Dingnan City to ask to see Huang Zhiting, and took advantage of the fact that Dingnan City had not issued any orders, dispatched two marines to the capital of the Kingdom of Aceh.

Because the troops were dispatched too quickly this time, it was completely a miracle, and the top leaders of the Aceh Kingdom were wiped out.Just when the high-level leaders of the Aceh Kingdom imagined that the ruling structure of the kingdoms in southern Xinjiang would basically be preserved, and that their own side would be treated in the same way by Jinghua, the bad news came.

It turned out that Huang Zhiting knew the plan of the Nanyang Fleet long ago, so she did not summon the envoys of the Kingdom of Aceh in Dingnan City until the capital was occupied. Then she took the time to order the Nanyang Fleet to "restore the Ming Dynasty's old port Xuanwei Division" in Sumatra.

Naturally, Huang Zhiting did not do this on her own initiative, but Gao Wushi had already given instructions, so she soon presided over the reconstruction of the Old Port Propaganda Department, and appointed a "Shi Jinqing descendant" named Shi Xiwen as "Quan Xuan" "Consolation envoy", that is, acting as a consolation envoy.At the same time, Huang Zhiting went to the Ming court to ask for confirmation of this appointment.

All in all, Jinghua's use of troops in many small countries in Southeast Asia is completely a dimension reduction attack. The performance of the so-called regular armies of various countries is not worth mentioning. To use a famous Tongliao saying in later generations to describe it: as long as they are useful, they are not useless at all.

Huang Zhiting's Shangshu soon sparked discussions in the capital.At that time, it was the critical moment when Li Rusong sent troops to Pyongyang and Liu Ting dispatched troops to surround Bozhou.Although the imperial court, especially the emperor, was happy with the news that the Xuanwei Division of the Old Port had been rebuilt in southern Xinjiang, it was obviously impossible to really pay much attention to it.

You know, at that time Gao Wushi had just won a big victory over Canyuan, and he was expelled from Chahar to the Western Regions.In addition to dealing with the two major wars in North Korea and Bozhou, and sending Qi Jiguang to deter the chaos of the Cao army in the south of the Yangtze River, the Ming Dynasty also had to rearrange the defense system of the entire northern border. No motivation to intervene personally.

As a result, Huang Zhiting quickly received a reply from the Ming court, clearly acknowledging the legality of the rebuilding of the Old Port Propaganda Department in the form of an imperial decree, officially appointing "Shi Xiwen, a descendant of Shi Jinqing, the former Propaganda Commissioner of the Old Port Propaganda Department, as the Propaganda Commissioner", and clearly declaring: The Department of Propaganda and Consolation was newly established, and it was temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Department of Command and Envoy of the Annan Metropolitan Government.

At about the same time, Mo Maoqia, the capital of Annan, attempted a rebellion, and Cen Ling and Mo Yulin made great contributions in the process of suppressing the rebellion.Mo Maoqia was ordered to die by Zhu Yijun for the crime of "intending rebellion", but according to the custom of Ming Dynasty, his son Mo Quan was appointed as the new commander-in-chief.

So far, Annan has been completely sinicized, and Cen Ling, Mo Yulin and others have all passed the final test.So an interesting scene happened. Since Annan was ordered by the Ming Dynasty to take charge of the Jiugang Propaganda Department, Huang Zhiting recommended Cen Ling as the Deputy Propaganda Envoy of the Jiugang Propaganda Department and Mo Yulin as the Jiugang Guardian.

The imperial court quickly replied to confirm this recommendation, and Cen Ling went to the shuffle in due course, requesting to move the town of Jiugang with Cen's family, thinking that Daming Yongzhen will be in the corner of Nanyang Sea.Zhu Yijun appreciated this very much, and personally talked to Gao Yushi, and then ordered that a large area of ​​Lanwuli be designated as the land of Cen's Chieftain Yongzhen.

The area Zhu Yijun bestowed to the Cen family is actually the northern part of Sumatra Island, with an area of ​​about 15 square kilometers (the entire Sumatra Island is 47 square kilometers), and Ramuli itself was the capital of the former Aceh Kingdom.

Of course, there are many branches of the chieftain of the Cen clan, and not all of the 15 square kilometers are controlled by Cen Ling himself. They have to be distributed to the whole clan according to their closeness and merit.So the part that Cen Ling directly led in the end was about 5 square kilometers as mentioned above, which was almost one-third of the total.

As the chieftains have followed Gao Pragmatism for longer, the present chieftains have changed not only their armed forces, but also their thoughts.In the past, the chieftains gave people the impression that they were closed and guarded, but now these chieftains like to trade one by one.

For example, Huang's family, Huang Zhiting's direct leader Annan Haidong Mansion, not only built one of the largest coal mines in southern Xinjiang [Note: This is also the largest coal mine in Vietnam in later generations, with an annual output of 1800 million tons], and actively developed trade. The local timber Industries and trades such as cinnamon, cinnamon, star anise, Panax notoginseng, fishery fishing and breeding are doing well.

Huang Zhiting's development model can obviously be replicated. First of all, Huang's family actively learns, and they all follow this line of thinking.As a result, some started aquaculture, some started forest processing, and some started fishing at sea.Some felt that they were not very good at doing business, so they bought some original stocks of Jinghua's newly established factories, and entered the era of lying and earning ahead of time...

The Huang family became rich from this, and other chieftains with different surnames naturally did not fall behind.Take the Cen family as an example. When their family moved to the town, they were mainly assigned to some places in the north and south of Annan. There is no sea here, and they can only rely on the mountains for food.

As a result, mining became the main direction of Cen's attack at that time, supplemented by pottery (not porcelain) and wood processing.Before Cen Ling brought the Cen family south to Sumatra, the Cen family had become the third largest provider of copper ore, the fourth largest provider of iron ore, and the sixth largest provider of marine timber in Jinghua's southern border.Not to mention earning a lot of money, at least the little life has been nourished enough.

After the Cen family moved to the town, the above industries will not be taken back in vain. Jinghua and the Cen family have made some transactions. The process is very detailed and complicated, so I will not list them in detail.In short, the Cen family handed over the controlling stake, but still can get a lot of income from it every year.

The Cen family, who had completed the ideological leap, started economic reforms immediately after arriving in Aceh.

As I said before, Aceh is rich in oil, natural gas, gold and silver mines, rubber, spices and timber in later generations. Among them, oil, natural gas and rubber are not necessary for the time being, but gold and silver mines, spices and timber are all projects that the Cen family can manage well. .

Especially gold and silver mines and timber, one belongs to the mining industry, and the other is forestry processing, both of which are Cen's "old line of business".

Therefore, Cen Ling's main focus was on spices.Spices are different from vanilla in plant leaves. They are parts obtained from plant bark, roots, flower buds, gums and resins, seeds, fruits or stigmas. They have rare olein and highly volatile compounds of oil bodies.Therefore, the spice industry is actually not as simple as picking fruits, and there are still some technical aspects in it.

From another point of view, the spice trade is not only done with Europeans, Arabs and Indians are also big customers. Of course, the biggest customer is far away and close at hand-in fact, it is Daming.

If the voyage of Columbus started the Western exploration of oriental spices, then the Asian spice trade had started an internal cycle as early as the millennium before the Great Geographical Discovery.

China has imported spices from countries in the South China Sea since the Han Dynasty, reached its peak in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and continued to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but the word "spice" did not appear until the Southern Song Dynasty.

Prior to this, and in the following years, Chinese classics classified agarwood, frankincense, clove, nutmeg, pepper and other plants imported from Southeast Asia with fragrance into the category of "fragrance medicine".

In fact, this has something to do with the medicinal value of spices.Before Song and Yuan Dynasties, these Nanyang imported spices were mostly used for medicinal purposes.It was not until the Song and Yuan dynasties that the records of the application of fragrant medicines in food gradually increased, and it was not until the middle of Ming Dynasty that pepper, sumac, cloves, sandalwood, cardamom and other fragrant medicines quickly filled the daily diet as condiments.

Therefore, some scholars in later generations have indicated that the meanings of "spice" and "fragrant medicine" basically overlap. The slight difference may be that "spice" mostly has a seasoning function, while "fragrant medicine" focuses more on medicinal value.Therefore, the spice trade in ancient China included two categories: "spice" and "fragrant medicine".

China itself lacks spice resources and relies on trade with Southeast Asian countries.In the names of spices and aromatic medicines, cloves, nutmeg, pepper, sandalwood and dipterocarp, etc. are all produced in the ancient Nanyang region.

Among them, clove and nutmeg grew only on certain islands in the South Seas even before the seventeenth century.For example, cloves are picked from the clove tree, which grows only in the Moluccas; nutmeg and mace are grown from the nutmeg tree, which grows in the Banda Islands.Therefore, cloves and nutmeg are extremely rare.

In comparison, pepper, sandalwood and dipterocarp are more common.Both Sumatra and Java have pepper production centers, with as many as 25 production areas.Sandalwood and dipterocarp, now known as natural borneol, are produced in Sumatra and Kalimantan.

According to the records in ancient Chinese books, there are more varieties of spices produced in ancient Nanyang.

The "Zhu Fan Zhi" written by Zhao Rushi in the Song Dynasty recorded that the Three Buddhas "produced by the land, tortoise shell, brain, Shen Su temporary incense, rough cooked incense, Jiangzhen incense, clove, sandalwood, cardamom";
Japa Kingdom "produces ivory, rhinoceros horn, pearl, borneol, tortoise shell, sandalwood, fennel, clove, bean, cubeb, jiangzhenxiang, flower mat, fanjian, pepper, betel nut, sulfur, safflower, hematoxylin, White parrot..."

In the Ming Dynasty, there were also many records of the types of spices produced in ancient Indonesia.Among them, "Western Tribute Records" contains, "(Three Buddha Qi) its soil and objects are mostly yellow speed incense, yellow wax, incense, and agarwood."

"Yingya Shenglan" records that Java "produces sumac, vajra, white sandalwood, nutmeg, pipa, tabby cat, iron, turtle tube, tortoise shell"; Jiangzhen incense, agarwood, gold and silver incense, yellow wax and the like."

Ancient commerce was relatively simple, and demand often created the market, while modern commerce has a very interesting approach called creating demand and opening up the market.

As mentioned earlier in this book, the tribute trade in the early years of the Ming Dynasty was full of complaints from officials and people all over the world due to the monopoly of the royal family. Since then, with the sea ban, the "demand" for spices in the Ming Dynasty has shrunk sharply.In fact, this shrinkage is not rooted in shrinking demand, but because the people are not allowed to enter and have to give up.

With the opening of the sea and the expansion of trade with high pragmatism, the demand for spices among the people of Ming Dynasty has rebounded rapidly in these years.However, Gao Pragmatism is not enough, because he knows that the consistent problem of Ming Dynasty is obvious. It is that the government is poor and the people are rich. In fact, the people have the foundation to "boost consumption".

Therefore, Jinghua has tried every means to expand the sales of spices in Daming over the years, including the occasional "monthly half-price day" and other business models to reduce dimensionality.As a result, the spice market expanded day by day in Daming.

This has created a good "time dividend" for Cen Ling. Although Sumatra does not have the rarest cloves and nutmeg, it can be said that pepper, sandalwood, and dipterocarp have sufficient production capacity.

Therefore, under the personal care of Cen Ling, Aceh's spice industry flourished, not only greatly expanded its exports to Daming, but also sold to India and the Arab region due to its geographical advantages, and even Spain and Portugal were also his major customers.

20 years ago, Cen's chieftain, who was still playing the game of self-sufficiency, has now become a beneficiary of "economic globalization". This makes Aceh, which will not increase its grain production for a while, attach great importance to the spice trade.

Since the place of shipment for the spice trade is the Nanyang Islands, of course we must pay attention to the ships and fleets coming and going.However, the shipbuilding industry in the Nanyang islands was very poor, and Cen Ling did not dare to get involved in this main business that Jinghua started, so he had to ask the Nanyang Fleet to arrange a special squadron in Aceh as a maritime security force.

The Necker Fleet sent by the Dutch to Nanyang for the second time encountered the interception of the Aceh Squadron of the Nanyang Fleet this time.

Saying interception is actually a bit too much, because the Aceh squadron was just a routine inspection at the time, and they thought it was the Spaniards—before the Dutch revolution, the Netherlands and Spain were one family after all, so at this time the Dutch fleet was from some In terms of details, it still has a strong Spanish style.

It was only after this inspection that it was discovered that the visitors were not the Spaniards, but a fleet of the Dutch, a small country that claimed to be "difficultly independent from the brutal rule" of Spain, and their purpose was simple: to buy pepper.

However, the simplicity of the purpose does not mean that it can be released casually, because there is a clause in the previous agreement: Jinghua grants the spice trade privileges between southern Xinjiang and Europe to the Kingdom of Castile (the main body of Spain and a part of exclusive overseas management rights) and Portugal Kingdom, does not trade directly with other European countries.

Huang Zhiting's reply just now is precisely the accident reported by the Nanyang Fleet.The reason why Gao Yushi immediately made the decision to seize is also due to this.

So here comes the question, the so-called there are no permanent friends between countries, only permanent interests, so why is Gao Yushi so trustworthy?

The reason is simple, because the times have changed, Gao Wuzhen is now planning to help a group of Spaniards.
