Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 1013 Riots in Europe
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the propaganda of many Ming officials led by Qian Wanli, the issuance of banknotes in Ming Dynasty went very smoothly.

The people of Daming who have used silver and copper coins for so long feel that paper money is too convenient after using paper money.

In the past, it was necessary to bring a lot of silver to do business, and it was almost always transported in a horse-drawn carriage. Now, it is really convenient to just carry some banknotes.

Banknotes not only save transportation costs, but also reduce the number of people who transport silver. It is not a problem for one person to carry a million.

After another three months, the vast majority of Ming people have become accustomed to using banknotes.

Qianqing Palace

Zhu Youjian listened to the report on the popularization of banknotes by Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, with a knowing smile on his face.

At this time, Qinglong and Cao Zhengchun walked into Qianqing Palace, and when they saw Zhu Youjian hurried forward to salute:

"See Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian was in a good mood, he smiled and waved his hands:
"No gift, flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two thanked each other and stood aside with their hands down.

Ni Yuanlu had finished reporting what he wanted to report, he nodded to Qinglong Cao Zhengchun, and then bowed to the emperor to leave:

"I retire!"

Seeing Ni Yuanlu withdraw from Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youjian looked at Qinglong and the two:

"whats the matter?"

Qinglong cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, there is a secret report from Jin Yiwei that someone in England has begun to boycott drugs, and a shop has been burned down."

Cao Zhengchun:
"Your Majesty, some people in the Netherlands and Spain also launched a campaign to boycott drugs, as well as Holy Rome and other Warsaw Pact countries, but they were suppressed by the army."

Hearing the bad news, instead of being worried, Zhu Youjian's smile became brighter:
"Oh, it's finally started. This is a good thing. Let the citizens of Daming who open smoking dens in foreign countries retreat to a safe place immediately when they see someone beating, smashing, looting and burning. Try to gather together and don't separate. First of all, you must ensure your own safety. If someone attacks them, it will be absolutely unacceptable to fight back immediately!"

"Yes"

The two led the decree to withdraw from the Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Youjian immediately said:

"Come here, the Chuanbing Department, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the Minister of Honglu Temple to see me!"

"According to the purpose"

The eunuch Er Xi, the eunuch who served closely, immediately received the order.

For a while, Sun Chengzong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Qi Jiguang, Governor of the Five Armies, and Zhou Lishun, Minister of Honglu Temple, walked into the Qianqing Palace.

"Sun Chengzong, Qi Jiguang, Zhou Lishun, see Your Majesty!"

"Exemption, flat body! Grant a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The three thanked En and sat down, none of them knew why the emperor had summoned him suddenly.

Zhu Youjian looked at the three Ming courtiers and said:

"The Opium War that I carefully designed is about to start, and large-scale anti-Ming riots will soon occur in England, the Netherlands, and Spain.

Order Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan, and Shi Lang to lead a fleet to Europe.

At the same time, Li Dingguo, Huang Degong, and Huang Ming were ordered to lead their subordinates to fight with the three fleets.

Once it is discovered that they are attacking the people of Ming Dynasty, they will quickly destroy the Three Kingdoms.

During their battle, the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies must quickly gather 30 Ming Xie troops, and the soldiers who are ready to take over the war of annihilation will be stationed in the Three Kingdoms.

In addition, all trade with the three countries will be cut off from now on, and no material can flow into the three countries.

When your army attacks the Three Kingdoms, Honglu Temple must quickly announce the behavior of the people of the Three Kingdoms beating, smashing, looting and burning our Daming store, and declare war on the Three Kingdoms.

During the war between Da Ming and the Three Kingdoms, all countries that trade with Da Ming are prohibited from providing any support to the Three Kingdoms, otherwise Da Ming will announce the severance of diplomatic relations with them and the cessation of trade and commerce..."

There has been no war for more than a year, and now the emperor suddenly wants to destroy England, the Netherlands, and Spain.

The emperor's decision made the three ministers stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed surprise expressions.

For them, fighting is good, not only can they make meritorious service, but they can also get promoted and get rich.The three of them hastily received the decree:

"According to the order!"

Before the three of them left, Zhu Youjian emphasized a few more words:
"Pass the decree to the relevant departments, and we must provide supplies to the navy and army on time and according to the amount. If you are slack, prepare to go home and farm. Okay, you go prepare!"

In the past, we used literature to control military affairs. Many military generals fought abroad, but civil officials relied on their mouths to fight for merit in the court.

Because of insufficient supplies or delays, and because they were timid and afraid to send troops to support them, major defeats occurred frequently.

Now the situation has changed a long time ago, military generals only focus on fighting, and civilian officials only focus on governing the country.

On the issue of supplying the front lines during the war, both generals and civil servants must give their full support, otherwise what awaits them is the emperor's thunderous wrath.

People in several European countries are indeed carrying out anti-smoking campaigns, but they are not anti-smoking because of national awakening.

They are all low-level workers who organized against the opium dens everywhere because they had no money to buy big cigarettes.

Because during the demonstrations, they can have an excuse to smash up the smoke shop and rob the opium.

You must know that opium smoking has long been rampant in Europe, and at least six out of ten families are smoking opium.

Of course the nobles and high-level people have the money to go to the smoke den to enjoy, but their life is a problem now, where can they have the money to smoke opium.

The Holy Roman Empire, the Swedish Empire, the Kingdom of Norway, Greece, Yugoslavia and other countries also have anti-smoking campaigns.

But how could they let the eldest brother's people get hurt!

While these countries dispatched absolute suppression campaigns, they also dispatched special personnel to protect the opium dens opened by Daming in their countries.

In this way, the smoke dens opened by their own people became the targets of the demonstrators.

You must know that there are smoke dens all over Europe now, and the smoke dens opened by Daming are only [-]% of these smoke dens.

For more than four years, Daming successfully drove European countries to open tobacco dens one after another.

After the establishment of tobacco halls in various European countries, the tobacco halls of the people of Ming Dynasty did not expand, but only supplied supplies for these tobacco halls.

It can be said that in the late Ming Dynasty, the purpose of making money in European smoking halls was no longer the goal, but the goal was to defeat the will of Europeans and turn them all into smokers.

It can be said that Zhu Youjian's plan was very successful. Not only did European gold and silver flow into Daming continuously, but it also completely sank most Europeans.

The Warsaw Pact countries not only spared no effort to protect the Daming Tobacco Hall from impact, but also forcibly suppressed the anti-smoking movement.

However, the nationals of England, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries, under the instigation of some French diehards who fled to their countries, the movement of beating, smashing, looting and burning became even more crazy.

Many tobacco dens were smashed, looted and burned, and the people of Ming Dynasty closed the dens one after another and hid in the embassy and rented them.

In the past, after Daming closed its trading ports with several countries, several countries allocated concessions to Daming in order to continue to do business with Daming, but the area was not large.

Because the citizens of Daming in these countries had been notified from above, they evacuated in a timely manner. Although most of the smokehouses were smashed, the personnel did not suffer much damage.

The British still had concerns, they sent troops symbolically to protect the people of Ming Dynasty and the smoke house.

However, because Ming Dynasty robbed them of their colonies in America, the other countries completely let their citizens attack Daming Smokehouse and its people.
