The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 619

And this is just the beginning, Zhu Linming is very clear that, relying on the source of goods and the advantages of distance, Daming will monopolize the trade with East Asia sooner or later.

And as a seller's market, commodity prices will continue to rise at that time, and just one income from trade with Japan will be enough to feed half of Ming Dynasty!

Afterwards, continue to develop trade with countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia, and gradually squeeze out the influence of Western colonists here. Then, as the core of Asian maritime trade, the financial situation of Ming Dynasty will be unprecedentedly improved.

After the maritime merchants become more mature, they will continue to expand their business to Europe, where there is even more gold and silver!
European colonies around the world bring massive wealth back to the European continent every day. At the same time, they have no resistance to Chinese silk, porcelain, tea, cotton cloth, sugar, etc., and they hardly ask the price when buying.

In addition, the stainless steel, cement, and luxury goods newly developed by Zhu Linmi also have a large market. If they can control the trade in Southeast Asia, the export of spices to Europe will also be added.

At that time, it is not a dream to spend money casually.The wealth of the entire world will continue to flow into Ming Dynasty, while the western countries that keep buying at high prices will continue to "lose blood", and even cause economic downturn due to successive years of deficits.In such a Europe, wanting to realize the industrial revolution one step ahead of Ming Dynasty is tantamount to nonsense.And the advantages of Daming, which is the first to enter the industrialized country, will be more obvious, the stronger will become stronger, and no one will be given a chance to catch up!
Hundreds of years later, what about one crow, two crows, gengzi, Jiawu?nonexistent!What he will leave to his descendants will be a great Ming that is a hundred times stronger than the American emperors of later generations!

Of course, if you want to accomplish this series of feats, you will inevitably be met with fierce counterattacks from Western maritime powers.Whether it is the current maritime hegemon He Lan, or the rising maritime powers Britain and France, or even Spain, which has already set its sights on the sun, they have always regarded the ocean as their lifeline, and they will definitely fight to the death with Daming, a "rising star".

Zhu Linming is also fully prepared for this. After the economic situation improves, the construction of the Daming Navy will be further accelerated.He believed that with the national strength of Ming Dynasty and the experience he brought from later generations, there would be a chance of winning the battle against the entire European navy one day!
From this moment on, Daming has embarked on the ideal development path in Zhu Linming's heart.

After the sailing ceremony of the ocean-going caravan was over, as soon as Zhu Linmi walked out of the port, several urgent reports came in one after another, all of which said the same thing - Emperor Taizheng was robbed, his whereabouts were unknown, and Jianlu was involved in.

The last letter he received was Mu Zhiqing's secret letter, which described the incident in detail, and supplemented Meng Zhengfa's concubine's confession, as well as some simple emergency measures she had taken.

Zhang Jiayu, who was accompanying him, saw the dignified expression on the assistant king's face, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, what's the big deal?"

"I didn't expect that these guys couldn't hold back after I left Yingtian Mansion just a few days ago." Zhu Linmi handed Mu Zhiqing's letter to him, "It seems that this matter is probably He Tengjiao's dying act, but it is a danger to Daming. Great! After all his troubles, the Northern Expedition can only be postponed."

Zhang Jiayu took the letter and glanced at it quickly, also frowning deeply, "According to what I see, the Empress Dowager... I'm afraid she has lost her mind. The whole country is under martial law, and a large number of troops will be sent to search for people. This will definitely arouse people's hearts. The world is in turmoil."

Zhu Lin said in her heart that fortunately, I still have two virtuous helpers, otherwise the situation might be messed up.

He then said: "Fortunately, General Zhen of the Polu Camp did not order the troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River to search for the emperor. Otherwise, the Jianlu Camp would take advantage of the situation and attack, and the consequences would be unimaginable! At least the Polu Camp has captured Nanjing, and the defense line in the south of the Yangtze River is still strong. When there is still room for turning around."

Zhang Jiayu clasped his hands and said: "Now the top priority is, my lord must return to Nanjing as soon as possible to stabilize the situation, and then try to deal with Huguang, so as not to cause internal chaos in Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Linming nodded, thought for a while and said to Zhang Jiayu: "Decree to all the state capitals that the emperor is safe, cancel the martial law order, and the troops and horses of all ministries are still returning to the camp. The police from all over the country are working day and night to maintain local order.

"Order the Yangtze River Navy to pursue the traitor ships with all their strength, and those Galese warships will come in handy. Then order the state capitals along the way to Wuchang to intercept them with boats.

"Also, from now on Xianxia Pass and Shan Pass are only allowed to leave and not enter. If the Son of Heaven is really kidnapped and goes to Fujing, arrest the thief outside the pass immediately!"

"Yes!"

Almost all the country and mountains of the Ming Dynasty today were taken by Zhu Linmi from Jianlu or rebel officials, and most of the chief officials of the important towns were appointed by him, and the army even regarded him as a god.

Therefore, following his series of orders, most of the state governments ignored the Queen Mother Zeng's order without hesitation, and followed the order of the assistant king.Naturally, there were some places where he didn't take his words seriously, especially in Fujing, but Daming basically maintained a stable situation on the whole.

Contingency measures were roughly arranged, and Zhu Linmi didn't need a carriage anymore, so she ordered Shi Lin to prepare horses on the spot, leaving behind a group of civilian officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Department of Economics and Commerce, and led her soldiers and a few officers to gallop to Nanjing overnight.

……

Meng Zhengfa's side also traveled day and night, and the oarsmen on the boat took three shifts, rowing desperately towards Wuchang.

As soon as he arrived in Chizhou, he met the warship of the Huguang Navy.He immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so that he had "consummated his merits and virtues", and when he thought of his concubine's room and his eldest son being left in Nanjing, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.But all of this is also worth it, the feudal lord and the prime minister are just around the corner!
He handed Zhu Linyuan over to Zhao Guan, the chief soldier of the Huguang Navy, and sailed with the fleet for a few more days before approaching the Jiujiang area at the junction of Jiangxi and Huguang.

He was excitedly thinking about what kind of high position Wuchang could get, but he saw a few fast boats coming from Huguang, and the people on board immediately boarded the boat and read He Tengjiao's secret order.

"Stay in Jiujiang and delay entering Chu?" Meng Zhengfa was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "Right now, welcome the emperor immediately, and make Lord Governor assist the government, why..."

One of He Tengjiao's envoys had some personal friendship with him, he winked at him, pulled him aside and whispered: "Master Meng, you also know that Jie... the matter of welcoming the Son of Heaven, Lord Dutang originally disagreed." , but you cut it first and then played, so he had no choice but to agree. But this time the commotion was too loud, and the whole world was shaken, but you failed to bring the queen mother along."

He glanced at the entourage beside him, and lowered his voice, "Without the empress dowager hanging down the curtain to intimidate, Lord Governor is worried that he will not be able to command the world by himself, so he has the intention of retreating..."

Meng Zhengfa suddenly felt dizzy, he immediately thought, if Teng Jiao didn't dare to fight Zhu Linming head-on, he would definitely say that he didn't know anything about this matter, and he did everything without authorization by Meng Zhengfa!
