Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 779 Three Announcements and Six Consolations
In one year, not only the opium made by Daming completely opened up the market in the UK.

Opium also had widespread consumers in other European countries.

The merchants of Ming Dynasty are also spread all over European countries, as long as there are people, you can see Chinese merchants.

The products of the Ming Dynasty have become inseparable items for Europeans.

As small as needlework and soap, as large as merchant marine bicycles, the few factories in Europe were annexed by Ming merchants.

Europeans can only desperately earn money in exchange for needed goods and opium.

Especially the British, many of them have gone bankrupt and even lost the ability to work. All day long, they only think about the tatami mats in the Daming Tobacco House.

Most of the military personnel are also inseparable from opium, and their combat effectiveness is almost lost, even the royal family and nobles are the same.

Of course, they also have people with clear minds, but it's a pity that no one wants to listen to them.

If the yelling was too fierce, Daming Jinyiwei would come to the door in the middle of the night, and the result of waiting for them was to throw their corpses into the wilderness.

European silver and gold have been continuously flowing to the Ming treasury and the people.

It can be said that 80.00% of the commodities in Europe come from Ming Dynasty.

There used to be many Europeans and British who opened factories, but they did not have technical support and the prices were relatively high.

Several price wars by Ming merchants caused the newly established local factories to go bankrupt.

Some people in Britain and the Netherlands were instigated by some malicious people because they had no money to buy the spiritual food of Ming Dynasty.

Daming immediately made strong suggestions and warnings to the British Netherlands.

When the other party did not quell the turmoil for the time being, Zhu Youjian took the opportunity to order Haijiao and Huang Fei to lead [-] navies to Southampton and Amsterdam in the name of protecting the businessmen of Ming Dynasty.

This is the first time that the Ming Dynasty Navy has gone out of Asia to distant Europe.

Immediately after their arrival, the royal families of the two countries panicked, and Britain and the Netherlands quickly sent troops to quell the riots.

After half a month of fighting, the riot finally subsided, but the Ming Navy had already stationed in the two countries as an excuse and refused to leave.

The people of Ming Dynasty only lost some commodities in this riot.

Because some merchants are Ming soldiers and Jinyiwei, and they are equipped with advanced firearms, only a few casualties and more than 100 people were injured.

Under the strong pressure from the Ming court, Britain and the Netherlands finally paid 300 million taels of silver each before it was over.

After the market recovered, due to the huge demand, the opium tobacco grown in several places in Nanhai Province could no longer meet the needs of European consumers.

Baihu immediately sent someone back to Daming to report to the emperor.

After receiving the report, Zhu Youjian fixed his eyes on the notorious Golden Triangle area in later generations.

Due to the high requirements on the environment, soil and climate of opium tobacco, although Daming Island (Java) and Luzon are planted a lot, the output is not high.

The most suitable place for planting in Asia is the Golden Triangle area. In order to satisfy the British and Europeans, Zhu Youjian is going to do it in the Golden Triangle area.

The Golden Triangle refers to a triangular area located in the border areas of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia.

The "Golden Triangle" is famous all over the world because this area has been rich in opium for a long time and is the main producing area of ​​opium in the world.

Of course, it was still barren at that time, and only Zhu Youjian knew where was the best area for important opium.

A chapter was blocked today. For safety reasons, all opium will be replaced with opium in the future.

The scope of the "Golden Triangle" roughly includes Shan State and Kachin State in northern Myanmar.

Thailand's Chiang Rai Province, the northern part of Chiang Mai Province, Luang Namtha Province, Phongsari, Oudomxai Province in Laos, and the west of Luang Prabang Province.

At this time, the Taungoo Dynasty was in power in Myanmar, and its strength was the most powerful in the Indochina Peninsula.

Speaking of Myanmar, one cannot fail to mention the difficulty of cursing water.

In the 13th year of Yongli, the desperate Emperor Yongli fled to Myanmar for refuge, while Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty on the Sino-Myanmar border.

When Emperor Yongli entered Burma, Burmese king Mangda was quite polite to the Nanming monarchs and ministers, but after Mangda's younger brother Mangbai killed his brother and seized the throne, the situation took a turn for the worse.

In July of the 15th year of Yongli, Mangbai sent an envoy to visit Emperor Yongli. He first accused him of neglecting the King of Burma, and soon he notified the emperor and ministers of Nanming to cross the river to discuss matters and drink the cursed water together to reiterate their friendship.

As a result, when the great scholar Ma Jixiang, the great eunuch Li Guotai, and Qian Guogong Mu Tianbo led the officials to their destination, they were massacred by the Burmese soldiers.

More than 30 ministers, including Ma Jixiang, Li Guotai, and Mu Tianbo, were all killed, which is known as the "Curse of Water".

After the Burmese soldiers massacred Ming officials, they crossed the river and besieged the residence of Emperor Yongli.

After wantonly killing and looting, Emperor Yongli, Queen Mother, Empress, Prince and others were all taken hostage.

In December of that year, King Mangbai of Burma learned that the Qing army was approaching the capital Awa.

In order to avoid the danger of subjugation, Emperor Yongli and others were dedicated to Wu Sangui, the coach of the Qing army.

Even if he didn't hand over Emperor Yongli to Wu Sangui, Emperor Yongli would still be a prisoner in Burma at this time.

In June of the following year, Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang and Crown Prince Zhu Cixuan were hanged with bowstrings on Biaozipo, Kunming under the orders of Wu Sangui.

His family members were escorted to Beijing except the Queen and Queen Mother who committed suicide before.

When Emperor Yongli died, he was 40 years old, and his bones were burned after his death.

With the death of Emperor Yongli, the 294-year-old Ming Dynasty officially collapsed.

Of course, this is an afterthought. Now that Zhu Youjian has changed the direction of history, that kind of thing will never happen again.

How can Zhu Youjian have any reason to let the dignified Chinese emperors of Ming Dynasty be treated like this by Myanmar?

In the past, I did not take care of Myanmar for the time being, mainly because Japan and Nanyang did not win.

Now is the time to clean up Myanmar, but there is no reason to go to war.

Right now, Myanmar and other countries used to be the land of Ming Dynasty, but later they broke away from China's control as British colonial rule.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the Yunnan Chengxuan Political Envoy Department in the southwest frontier, which belonged to the first-level administrative region of the Ming Dynasty.

It is called Chief Minister, Chief Secretary, and Feudal Secretary, not "province" or "province".

But it exists at the same level as the current "province".

Under the Yunnan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, there are many ethnic minorities living together.

In order to facilitate management, a secondary administrative management department is set up under the chief envoy.

Manage the affairs of ethnic minorities, called Xuanweishi, Xuanfusi.

There are three Xuanfu Divisions and six Xuanfu Divisions under the Yunnan Chief Political Commissioner, collectively known as "Three Propaganda and Six Consolation".

"Three announcements and six comforts" is the general term for the nine important chieftains in southwestern Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty.

"Sanxuan" refers to the three larger chieftains set up in the Yunnan frontier in ancient times, namely Nandian Xuanfu envoy, Ganya Xuanfu envoy, and Longchuan Xuanfu envoy.

"Six Weis" refers to the six larger chieftains set up in the frontier of Yunnan in ancient times, namely, Cheli Xuanwei Division, Mengyang Xuanwei Division, Mubang Xuanwei Division, Burma Xuanwei Division, and Eight Hundred Great Chieftains. Dian comfort envoy division, Laos comfort envoy division.

The "Three Propaganda and Six Consolation" are all under the Ming Yunnan Chief Secretary, and the Proclamation and Consolation Commissioner is higher than the Xuanfu Commissioner.
