Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 765: Do business slowly

The Dutch retreated in East Asia. As early as when the city of Geranje was besieged, a large number of Dutch people realized that something was wrong. European merchants hurriedly returned to Europe, fearing that they would be affected by the war.

Being on the front line in East Asia, they know better what kind of terrifying turmoil it will cause if the size of the Ming Empire goes to sea.

Not to mention that a large number of people in Relanja City were sold directly to the Qing Kingdom in the north and became slaves.

It’s not that you won’t come back if you leave. From a businessman’s point of view, this is a huge crisis and a huge business opportunity.

Most people just choose to avoid the crisis and wait until the situation stabilizes before trying to return.

And they ran back to Europe in large numbers, and many of them had the mentality of not returning to East Asia for a long time, so they desperately stuffed goods on their ships, bringing many new things produced by the Ming Empire to Europe at once.

Newspapers and such are just by-products.

What really matters is the bicycle.

Shunwu guns inevitably leaked to Europe.

The same goes for cement recipes.

The flying thunder cannons were strictly controlled, but those European businessmen saw it and came up with such a concept.

But the technical difficulty is not high.

Just like bicycles, the British are now trying to reproduce them. Maybe the parts of the bicycle will inspire their craftsmen during the production, so that their industrial capabilities will be improved.

At this time, the Nanyang Company, which had completely controlled the Ming Nanhai, had begun to go further.

Ming Dynasty’s external sea trade routes were basically limited to East Asia.

Even if there are records of voyages to the Middle East and even Europe, that is obviously an exception. Most maritime merchants wander around the Indochina Peninsula and many islands in the South China Sea. The most they can reach is India.

The main reason is that the government has neither the time nor the ability to intervene in the ocean.

Another reason is that the mainstream maritime trade merchant ships in the Ming Dynasty are offshore ships and have poor ocean-going capabilities.

Well then.

There are no people like missionaries who can take root in foreign countries step by step and act as a bridge of communication, so that businessmen from Europe can slowly do business within the Ming Dynasty and establish a presence along the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

But at this time, Zhu Youjian was searching for shipwrights in the East China Sea, and as soon as the new treasure ship improved by combining the shipbuilding technology of the Ming and Qing Dynasties came out, the situation naturally reversed slightly. The ships of the Black Flag Qing Dynasty had already rushed to the Americas, and the Ming Dynasty had this The boat naturally goes further.

Butterflies flutter their wings, and storms come one after another. I don’t know when or where the next one will come.

"It's so hot that I can't breathe."

Wang Chengen, who was wearing a thin gauze dress, was enjoying the coolness in the shade of a tree.

In Wang Chengen's opinion, the territory between the Annan Kingdom and the Hou Le Dynasty and the Dai Viet Kingdom is known to the outside world. It is at least somewhat civilized. It is not like the small countries and small tribes he saw in Luzon before. They are really similar to each other. Like wild monkeys in the forest.

It’s just that the weather and local food customs are really unbearable, the temperature is hot and humid.

Wang Cheng'en was entertained by the King of Li Dynasty on the shore, and he reluctantly agreed that day. The next day, he refused to accept the hospitality of the King of Li Dynasty on the grounds that he was not feeling well and was not acclimated to the local environment. He returned to the Pingyuan and only sent his men to discuss business.

Big business.

According to past history, the relationship between the Li Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty was not good. When the Ming Dynasty pacified the Hu Dynasty and occupied a large area of ​​land, it was the establishment of the Li Dynasty that drove the Ming army out of the Indochina Peninsula. But now they are still the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. One of the genus.

No matter how bad the relationship was, seeing the mighty Nanyang Navy approaching the coast, the King of Le Dynasty could not have any bad thoughts.

I just hurriedly came to welcome Wang Laoqiantai with a smile.

Not only do you have to laugh with me, you also have to pay compensation.

The Ming Nanyang Company was developing in Nanyang, and the Li Dynasty, which was already facing the claims of the Ming Dynasty, was naturally panicked.

The Dutch and Spanish came to talk and ask for help, and the king agreed without saying a word.Just this promise means spending money to eliminate disaster.

Although the city of Relanjia fell before, and when the city of Manila was pacified by the Ming army, the King of Le Dynasty did not move at all. Even at that time, he regretted that he had agreed to send people to sign the treaty with the Dutch.

But he really didn't expect Daming to be so strong.

They were able to wipe out the Dutch and Spanish in just one year.

But didn’t the intelligence coming from the north say that the Ming Dynasty looked like it was going to die? ?
Not only are there rebellions all over the country, but the Mongolian Tatars further north have also entered the country. Right now, the chieftain forces in the north are still rebelling!
Therefore, when the Nanyang Navy first appeared in the coastal waters of Li Chao, the king of Li Chao was so frightened that he asked for help from everywhere. Letters for help were all written to the North River Kingdom in the north and to Gaoping Mo Chao.

Almost begging them to put aside their old grudges and reject the Ming army together, otherwise we will all be doomed when the Ming army comes.

However, after a few actual conversations, the King of Li Chao not only breathed a sigh of relief, but his admiration for Wang Lao Qian Sui in his heart was like a surging river.

Immediately, he offered a thousand taels of gold and 2 taels of silver as a donation. He also said that he would build a shrine to Lao Chitose in Tokyo, the capital of the Li Dynasty, which was indeed called Tokyo.

Just because Nanyang Company wanted to cooperate with Li Dynasty to make the slave trade business bigger and stronger in Indochina.

This place is close to Guangzhou, there are many people, and the forces are mixed.

"Annan Kingdom is a respectful and loyal vassal state. I think it would be good for you to cooperate more with the company. Although the Mo Dynasty in the north is also obedient, it is not clear to the chieftains of Yunnan. He also said that their little The king calls himself emperor in private, this is a serious crime, I dare not have close friendship with them, after thinking about it, you are the only one who likes me!"

Li Weiyou, the Crown Prince of the Li Dynasty, the young man who calls himself the Crown Prince stood beside Wang Cheng'en awkwardly and served the fan. Hearing this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "What Grandpa Qiantuan said is absolutely true. That Mo family is defying the Ming Dynasty and saying that he is a minister of the Ming Dynasty." , It’s really rebellious!”

"Haha, you can say this, but I can't report the rumors I heard from hearsay. Naturally, I can't punish them. It still depends on you!"

"Grandpa Chitose is wise!"

Support Annan Kingdom to suppress other surrounding forces?

In fact, all parties place bets.

On one side, Wang Chengen was enjoying the hospitality of King Li Chao, and on the other side was Mo Chao.

Although it is said to be a small country, it is actually a remnant force that failed to compete with the Li Dynasty for power in the Indochina Peninsula. It relied on the Ming Dynasty for survival and relied on the terrain of the base area that was easy to defend and difficult to attack to protect itself.

At this time, King Mo Chao was kneeling down in front of the Nanyang Company's envoy and crying bitterly.

It is said that Mo Shi has waited for hundreds of years and finally received the angel, welcomed the mercy of the Ming Dynasty, and won the support of the Ming Dynasty.

Similarly, in the Zheng Dynasty of the Beihe Kingdom, which supported each other against the Li Dynasty and opposed each other with the Mo Dynasty, there were also people from the company talking in detail with their king.

The most ruthless people selling slaves are the locals.

Black people are like this, and people in Indochina must also be like this, because this is human nature.

You get nothing by killing people, but you can capture and resell them to a company, and then use the money from selling people to buy advanced weapons from the company, and then continue to fight around to obtain more slaves.

A 'virtuous' cycle.

The Nanyang Company only needs to ensure the balance among the many countries in these wars.

This is already the second time in Indochina.

First time in Luzon.

Many countries in Luzon have also started fighting, and a large number of slaves are rushing to the Ming and Qing Dynasties via Nanyang Company's ships.

Brunei cannot unify the entire Brunei Island, but the company did not say that there can be no war on the island.

"So about the concession I mentioned before, please advise your father. The company just wants a piece of land to do business in Annan. You can choose the 20 or [-] years when the contract is well-founded. If it is completed, you will receive an advance payment. Firearms for you”
