People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 234 Deception! Keep lying! It has deceived all the countries in Southeast Asia!

Each of them came with a translator.

In fact, before the fifteenth century, these countries in Southeast Asia all used Chinese characters.

Especially the countries of Annam, Chenla, Siam, Champa, Myanmar, and Lancang are actually the current Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos.

Since they are greatly influenced by Chinese culture, they all use Chinese characters uniformly.

It's just that the language may be different, but writing is no problem.

But in this situation, everyone can't treat each other as mute and communicate through words. This is too disrespectful, so they all brought translators.

And most of their translators are actually Chinese, that is, Han people.

In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to Chen Han, there were also Ling Han, the Minister of Rites, Xia Yuanji, the left minister of the Ministry of Households, Jian Yi, a member of the Zhongshu Sheren, and Tie Xuan, the Minister of Rites.

After everyone sat down, Chen Han first introduced himself, "You may be unfamiliar with me. I am Pingluhou, the Secretary of Academic Affairs, and the head of the Department of Commerce.

He is also now Chen Han, the main figure in the reform of the Ming Dynasty. "

Then he introduced Xia Yuanji and others present.

The Annan Kingdom envoy and others were also surprised when they heard Chen Han's name.

The name Chen Han is actually quite famous in their country.

Because they all got a message,

In the past year, the Ming Dynasty has carried out a series of reforms.

Especially in the tax reform, quite good achievements have been made.

The driving force behind all this is the young man Chen Han.

Moreover, after Chen Han established the Daming Institute of Engineering, the use of technology made the countries in Southeast Asia very curious.

They were heavily influenced by Sinicization, so they were also heavily influenced by Confucian culture.

Like many pedantic scholars, they all think that the so-called technologies created by Chen Han are just weird tricks.

These things cannot last long.

These things must be eliminated in the cradle.

But when they came to the Ming Dynasty, they discovered that it was not like what was spread in China.

It has no effect at all.

They will definitely be driven away as monsters.

It was only after they arrived at the Ming Dynasty that they discovered that their imagination was subverted.

Especially the use of cement roads made them see an extremely shocking fact.

It was because everyone had a personal experience with the muddy road, so they were even more shocked.

Especially in their southern region, which is humid and rainy all year round,

As a result, their roads are quite muddy. If their country can also use cement roads,

That is the biggest boost to transportation.

So they are actually thinking about whether it is possible to sell new things like cement to their country.

In this case, they can also have such wide and flat roads like the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, they dare not mention this condition now.

If it were brought up now, it wouldn't be forcing someone to do something difficult.

Now when they saw Chen Han, they became more and more interested.

You must know that Chen Han invented cement.

If we can get the cement formula through Chen Han's relationship,

It was really worth their while to come here.

After sitting down, they discovered that Chen Han was worthy of being trusted by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he was indeed a talented person.

Not only does she look suave, but she is also graceful and generous.

With sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a face with sharp edges and corners, and a heroic spirit, he is indeed a young hero.

The envoys below all complimented him.

Especially the envoys from the Annan Kingdom. Their country itself is the most heavily influenced by Sinicization.

Because before the Northern Song Dynasty, they all belonged to the territories directly under the jurisdiction of the Chinese dynasty.

Therefore, most of their population is Han, and after mixing with the local indigenous people, a new ethnic group was formed.

Of course they can speak Chinese, especially Ming Mandarin, and they learned it very quickly.

Although their accents are a bit awkward, everything they say is understandable.

He even stood up and complimented: "I have long heard that Lord Pinglu of the Ming Dynasty not only has outstanding achievements, but is also a talented person.

Now that we have met, it is indeed better to meet each other than to be famous.

Feng Shen and handsome are not enough to describe your grace.

A person like you can give us an opportunity to meet alone,

It’s really an honor that I’ve been waiting for! "

Chen Han looked at the Annan envoy and felt as if he had been wiped with honey when he heard his words. He was actually disgusted in his heart.

Because this Annan Kingdom is the best at going back on its word.

They once belonged to the land directly under the jurisdiction of the Chinese dynasty,

But now, they rebel again and again,

Moreover, they covet the territory of China.

Now when I hear him say such words, I suddenly feel funny.

This person was obviously thinking about how to get more benefits from the Ming Dynasty.

However, he can speak so beautifully.

Envoys from other countries also stood up and paid compliments, but they were all spoken by translators.

But roughly speaking, Chen Han's reputation is like thunder even in their country.

After Chen Han looked at them, he waved his hand for them to take their seats.

"Ambassadors, I called you here today because I actually want to discuss a big deal with you."

Hearing what Chen Han said, these envoys looked at each other.

"You can also see that the people summoned this time are all from your Nanyang countries. There are no Western Regions, no Rakshasa Kingdom in the north, and no Li family, Korea, or Japanese slaves in the east.

Of course you should have also heard that our Eastern Branch of the Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce in Ming Dynasty has made quite good progress in the Japanese slaves.

The reason why they are "taken care of" by our Ming Dynasty is

It was because they repeatedly sent Japanese pirates to rob the Ming Dynasty.

Now, only Ming Dynasty will send heavy troops to destroy this country.

I hope that the countries around us can develop in a friendly manner and that everyone can get what they need. I wonder if I say this. Do you have any opinions? "

What Chen Han said was almost equivalent to a direct threat to everyone.

They had long heard that the Japanese slaves had been beaten by thousands of troops from the Ming Dynasty and were about to lose their country.

So they all nodded: "What Mr. Chen said is true. Although we are in Nanyang,

However, I have heard many times that Japanese pirates were rampant and not only plundered the Ming Dynasty, but also

Moreover, there are many violations of the maritime areas of our dependent countries,

It is very satisfying for a nation like this to be exterminated by the Heavenly Kingdom.

This is my heavenly kingdom, and I will destroy them on behalf of God. They deserve what they deserve. "

The Annan envoy was especially sad and angry.

Because the coastline of Annan Kingdom is long and narrow, it is true as he said,

Their country was invaded by Japanese pirates in both the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

Now I heard that the Japanese slaves divided the northern and southern dynasties, and the Ming Dynasty was advancing at the same time.

It has already opened up the north and south, and split the Japanese slaves' southern and northern dynasties into east and west parts.

They will be able to destroy them soon, which is also a very satisfying thing for Annan Kingdom.    So he applauded most happily.

It's just that other countries obviously felt their hearts beating faster after hearing what Chen Han said.

Chen Han, what does this mean?

It's actually quite obvious.

That is, any country that dares to threaten the Ming Dynasty and threatens the Ming Dynasty may be hit.

The Japanese slaves in the East are much more tyrannical than them.

Especially those little devils, they look like children,

But they are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also ferocious in nature.

For such a nation, all the nationalities in Southeast Asia are quite afraid.

But I didn't expect that it would be dealt with so miserably by the Ming Dynasty.

If the Japanese slaves could be easily dealt with, wouldn't it be easier for the Ming Dynasty to deal with its own problems for the countries in Southeast Asia?

Everyone else's expressions were heavy. Of course, in order to ease the atmosphere, Chen Han immediately said: "But you don't have to worry, because you must be facing the Ming Dynasty in your heart, and you must be thinking of being protected by the Ming Dynasty.

We are the relationship between the suzerain and the vassal. The Ming Dynasty destroyed the Japanese slaves for your sake.

Without the Japanese pirates running rampant on the sea, I think everyone can feel more at ease when traveling to and from the Ming Dynasty. "

Having said this, Chen Han focused on the envoys from Java and Pahang.

why?

It's very simple. The Japanese slaves produced Japanese pirates, and they produced many pirates.

This is especially true for these countries in the Strait of Malacca.

Because this Chen Zuyi is entrenched in the Strait of Malacca.

Chen Zuyi is now known as the pirate king of Southeast Asia.

Hundreds of warships dominate the waters of Wonu, Ryukyu, the South China Sea, and the Indian Ocean, plundering tens of thousands of ships, and attacking more than fifty coastal towns.

After King Zhu Di of Yan became emperor, this guy was offered a reward of 500,000 taels of silver.

Finally, in September of the fifth year of Yongle, he was captured by Zheng He and taken back to the Ming Dynasty, and then beheaded in public.

This is also the target that Chen Han will focus on in the future.

This Chen Zuyi is definitely one of the biggest stumbling blocks in Nanyang trade, so he must die.

He spoke like this to warn,

The countries that wanted to help Chen Zuyi weighed it in their hearts.

If we can destroy the Japanese slaves, we can destroy you guys.

As expected, the expressions on the faces of envoys from several countries changed.

Probably because they were afraid of revenge from Chen Han and the others.

Because these countries are actually more or less colluding with pirates and Japanese pirates.

After all, their country does not have much income. After all, their country is very poor.

If the pirates are willing to take a share of the pie, or follow the pirates to rob homes and homes,

If you can get huge profits, why not?

Chen Han said at this time: "Okay, let's talk about the big deals we want to talk about now.

Let me tell you a piece of news. The Ming Dynasty’s maritime ban, which has lasted for more than twenty years, will soon be opened.

I think you should have seen the grand scene at Ningbo Port.

You all came here from Ningbo, so you should have seen it.

The number of ships passing through Ningbo Port now reaches 10,000 every day.

This is a signal for our Ming Dynasty to open up the sea ban.

In the future, not only Ningbo Port, but also several more ports will be opened in Zhangzhou and Guangzhou.

Especially the port in Guangzhou, you should be very familiar with it. This is the closest port to Nanyang.

At the same time, treaty ports will also be opened along the coast under the jurisdiction of the Chief Secretary of Guangxi.

The envoys of Annan Kingdom, you should know that area best.

I should say so. "

After hearing Chen Han's words, the envoy from Annan State was already secretly happy.

Because if Guangxi can open a commercial coast, wouldn't it be just at their doorstep for them?

At that time, we will have a large amount of goods of our own and a large amount of goods from Daming.

Once a treaty port is opened, it means there are countless business opportunities.

They have always suffered from the lack of a port where they could directly trade with the Ming Dynasty.

And now Chen Han actually said that the Ming Dynasty had already thought of opening up trade.

To open the port, this is huge good news.

The Annan envoy even stood up excitedly: "Master Chen, is what you said true?"

The envoy from Siam was also quite surprised.

Although their coastline is relatively short, as long as they can enter the sea from the south,

As long as they can trade with the Ming Dynasty, they can open ports anywhere.

After all, the economic benefits that current tribute trade can bring are really limited.

Once the Ming Dynasty lifted the sea ban, everyone would benefit.

The Ming Dynasty owned countless properties, and as long as they could bring them back, it would be an opportunity to make a fortune.

The envoys from all the countries stood up and asked in great surprise, "Is it true?"

Can we really open the ports and lift the maritime ban? "

Chen Han nodded, "I'm sitting here now, discussing business opportunities with you, can't I still represent Ming Dynasty?

I'm not a casual country person, I can talk nonsense here.

I just want to use your mouth to spread my reputation in various countries in Southeast Asia.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty will gradually open its ports and trade with other countries.

Of course, there is a prerequisite that all countries should strengthen maritime communication.

Strengthen win-win cooperation and strengthen the fight against pirates,

Because if pirates seriously threaten maritime trade, I think it will be detrimental to everyone.

Even if Chen Zuyi is threatening an army of over 100,000 pirates,

But if all our countries can unite together, what does a hundred thousand pirates mean?

My Ming Dynasty will definitely build a powerful fleet on the sea in the future, and it will be invincible by then.

You should all know why our Ming Dynasty can cross the ocean to fight against the Japanese slaves.

It is because Ming Dynasty can now produce huge warships. As long as these warships are sailed to the Southeast Asia,

No matter how many pirates Chen Zuyi had, they were just local chickens and wagyuers.

In the eyes of my Ming Dynasty's super fleet, Chen Zuyi is just a rotten tree.

The reason why I need your cooperation is to see if you are sincere.

Don't play with the Ming Dynasty in a false way. If you want to play, come real.

If you can really help Ming Dynasty open up this ocean channel and maintain the safety of the ocean, there will be many business opportunities in the future.

For example, right now, the price offered by Daming to purchase grain is three times the price of your local grain.

If you are willing to do this transaction, you can sign a contract.

I, Daming, am willing to pay part of the deposit first. "

Hearing what Chen Han said, the eyes of the envoys from these countries all gleamed.

The price of grain is three times higher than the local grain price to purchase grain.

My God, what a big deal that must be.

As expected, it is the Kingdom of Heaven, and as soon as he opens his mouth, it is the number one deal in the world...
