People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 294 Chen Han’s poison plan! Just want to slowly encroach on Nanyang!

Chen Han was also rude, "The number two pirates now have only lost 20,000. It is said that they have an army of 100,000 on the sea.

Even if we take a discount of 50,000, there will still be 30,000 left.

The pirate army is scurrying on the sea of ​​Nanyang. The countries in Nanyang were disturbed before and failed to exterminate those pirates.

Are they really capable of wiping out the remaining tens of thousands of pirates on their own?

Not also!

Therefore, they must rely on our Ming Navy to eliminate the remaining enemies for them.

And we are not doing this just for them, we are doing this to open up the sea trade road from Nanyang to Daming.

In order to protect everyone's interests, I think this is a good move.

Countries in Southeast Asia are good things for us people, and they have no reason to refuse. "

After Chen Han finished speaking, he looked at the old man Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, waiting for their comments.

As the father and son walked, they thought about what Chen Han said.

In fact, Chen Xing's meaning is very simple, somewhat similar to raising the bandits to respect themselves.

This is indeed not an aboveboard method.

But it is indeed very effective.

Countries in Southeast Asia may not be willing to cooperate with Ming Dynasty.

They superficially obey them and come to Ming Dynasty every year to sing praises and virtues, but they are not truly loyal to Ming Dynasty.

They have their own little calculations, and they even hope to see the decline of Ming Dynasty.

Because Ming Dynasty is like a knife hanging above their heads, which may fall at any time.

They would never want to have such a powerful enemy hanging above their heads forever.

But they have no choice, which shows the political game.

Since they don't intend to obey the Ming Dynasty, why can't they use some means to restrain them?

In the past, their purpose was to go to the Ming Dynasty or the Central Plains Dynasty to make offerings and obtain a large amount of materials.

Now the Ming Dynasty needs their food security,

At the same time, it may march into Nanyang and take back the land that once belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Grow more food on that land to supply the needs of the people of Ming Dynasty,

This is what we should do to support the people through the test of the Little Ice Age.

In the face of Italy, if these small Southeast Asian countries sacrifice a little, it is also natural selection.

So the old man stopped and lightly stamped his foot: "What a good idea, what a good idea.

You once said that Lan Yu, the Ming Navy, is definitely not only responsible for destroying pirates, but also

We have to teach the various countries in Southeast Asia how to behave. You must be thinking so about this matter, right? "

Cheng Xing nodded, "Old man, you are right, that's what Wei Chen thinks about this matter.

There are no so-called friends between us and other countries in Southeast Asia, only interests.

They pay tribute every year, and they come to the Ming Dynasty for their own benefit, and it is also our benefit to win Nanyang.

We need to colonize Nanyang, and we cannot rely solely on our army.

Although our Ming Dynasty is stronger than them, we still have to go on an expedition.

Especially in an unfamiliar environment, we definitely don’t have much advantage to take advantage of.

Only by establishing ports in their countries, on the one hand, to collect intelligence, and on the other hand, to cultivate our own power, can we have a two-pronged approach.

On the one hand, they attack with a large army, and on the other hand, they plant soft knives within them.

At the same time, this is also our means to deter Southeast Asian countries.

Now we have absolutely no control over each of our tributary countries.

It is only a suzerain country in name. In fact, our name is of little importance.

To them, we are just a victim. But it's different now, as long as we place the naval base on it.

We can not only cultivate our navy, but also increase our troops one after another.

When the time comes to really conquer them, we can annihilate them in one fell swoop by setting off directly from the naval base. "

Prince Zhu Biao gave a thumbs up, "Okay, this is a step-by-step encroachment. Our Ming Dynasty still needs to develop slowly.

We still need to continuously strengthen our strength. It is indeed unreasonable to send troops without such strong logistical support. "

Then Prince Zhu Biao said, "Besides, once we take action, the countries in Nanyang will unite and fight against the outside world.

They are now in disarray. If we attack at this time, it will be like asking them to clench their fists and hit us. "

Chen Han agreed: "Your Highness's analysis is quite correct. If we attack now, it will help them unite.

We have now tripled the price to purchase their grain, and have achieved quite good results.

Those traders did not care about the interests of the country. They could only see immediate benefits and began to purchase grains in large quantities.

We just have to wait for them to purchase enough grain and transport it to us in the Ming Dynasty.

When their food supplies are running out and a natural or man-made disaster occurs, that will be the real opportunity to attack them.

When the time comes, they will tell Tiantian not to respond, and Earth and Earth will not work, and our Ming Dynasty will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. "

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chen Han's words, he understood that this was a poisonous plan.

Chen Han used this to make merchants from various countries in Southeast Asia rush to buy grain and sell it to the Ming Dynasty.

This must have made it easier for the people of Ming Dynasty to eat cheap food;

On the other hand, it also suffered the people of various countries in Southeast Asia.

Since these traders really want to buy up all the grain they sell, domestic grain prices will definitely rise, and their domestic grain merchants will definitely hoard.

The people over there will suffer. Under such circumstances, there may be uprisings among the Southeast Asian countries.

It would be even worse if there were natural or man-made disasters. Wars would break out everywhere and weaken their civilian and military strength, which would be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

Guan Zhong, who was under Duke Huan of Qi, used this method to attack other countries.

This method can achieve very good results within two or three years.

Therefore, the old man is positive about Chen Han's strategy in this regard.

Zhu Biao said, "There is a third reason. You should also mention it."

Chen Han said: "Thirdly, through our collection of intelligence on these traders in Southeast Asian countries, we found that they are quite interested in our Ming Dynasty's cement, red bricks, glass, etc.

But if they really want to transport cement and red bricks from Daming back to China, the freight will probably overwhelm them.

Therefore, we give conditions to each country. In addition to ensuring the security of their maritime areas,

We can also make a condition that while the Daming Naval Base is being constructed, we can open a factory in the naval base to produce on-site.

In this way, they can buy these new things on the property.

I think this is a temptation that no country in Southeast Asia can refuse.

Of course, this is not necessarily for their sake.

We repaired the road for them and spent their own money.

But it is also convenient for those grain traders to buy grain and sell it to our Ming Dynasty.

I think if these three conditions are maintained, I guess not many small countries in Southeast Asia can refuse.

I wonder, Your Majesty, Your Highness, do you agree with what I say? "
