The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

In the next few days, Li Yuanqing deliberately stabilized the rhythm.

He began to meet with many Chinese businessmen and representatives of several major powers. Almost every day, he spent time in the wine pool, but he was not in a hurry to talk about business. He just wanted to "deepen his feelings.".

In the final analysis, although Li Yuanqing has enough ambition, there are many reasons and disputes. To paraphrase the saying of later generations, "the population is large, the foundation is weak", the technology is shallow, and the financial resources are not strong enough.

In this way, even if they are "smart women", it is difficult to make a meal without rice.

Li Yuanqing issued his own voice and forced to open a gap in the original pattern of Southeast Asia, which has touched the actual interests of several old Western powers!

But after all, Li Yuanqing did not have the strong foundation of Genghis Khan's gold family!

If he doesn't know how to advance or retreat again, he doesn't know how to converge. He can also guess the consequences with his butt.

After inserting nails into the gap, the next step is to insert more nails and connect the fixed points of these nails with wires.

It is mainly based on layout, supplemented by drawing in.

On the premise of ensuring the interests of themselves and Chinese businessmen as much as possible, we should give more benefits to these white haired wolves.

There has been an old saying in China since ancient times that "to be an official for thousands of miles is only for wealth."

These white haired monkeys, like dogs and crowns in court, always put the interests of the country and the nation high on the desk. But in fact, those who can do well in China may abandon their wives and children and travel far and wide, risking the risk of capsizing in the sea, and come to Southeast Asia where rabbits are not shitting?

In the final analysis, it's not for the sake of "money"?

However, the Portuguese and Dutch, including the East India Company, are relatively easy to deal with. After all, Li Yuanqing did not have a direct conflict with them, which reduced their face.

But for the Spaniards and Manila, it really takes some brains.

After all, Jack the executioner, the pirates, are the regular Spanish Navy in pirate skin.

Li Yuanqing directly killed the executioner Jack. This beam is not very big. According to the temperament of Warren dagama, how could he easily let Li Yuanqing go?

Not to mention, there was the incident on coconut island before.

At this time, even if Warren dagama did not have enough evidence to show that Li Yuanqing was responsible for the affair of coconut leaf Island, it was almost 100% of his business to be angry with Li Yuanqing.

However, in this world, you want to make everyone satisfied, that is almost impossible!

These Spanish ghosts are not Li Yuanqing's son or grandson. Naturally, Li Yuanqing has no mind to lick his face to serve them!

The interests of Southeast Asia, especially the interests of Southeast Asia's route to Daming, account for such a large share, at least at present.

If the Spaniards are interested, Li Yuanqing doesn't mind throwing them a bone, but if they don't know what's good or bad, and they have to push their nose and face, how can Li Yuanqing give them a good face?

To say nothing else, at least, for the Dutch East India Company, these shares are like wolf dogs in the face of meat!

After a few days of busy work, Li Yuanqing and the Portuguese official, Dutch official, as well as the East India Company specific details of the negotiations, very smooth!

After Li Yuanqing's big red envelope of more than 10000 Liang was directly hit in the face, Francesco's attitude towards Li Yuanqing changed dramatically.

During their private conversation, Li Yuanqing ordered 100 six pound guns and 20000 shells from the Portuguese authorities in Malacca through Francesco.

Originally, the price of these weapons was about 150000 Liang, but Li Yuanqing directly gave Francesco a cash limit of 25 Liang.

This old boy is not stupid. Seeing Li Yuanqing now is like meeting his father

Peter, the official representative of the Netherlands, is more cautious than Francesco. Moreover, the Dutch have no precedent of selling arms to Daming, and Peter dare not reach any private agreement with Li Yuanqing.

However, Li Yuanqing still gave Peter enough respect. He not only gave him a big private red envelope, but also asked Peter to buy a main warship officially retired from the Netherlands at the price of 100000 taels.

How could Peter refuse such a thing? Naturally, he accepted it with a smile.

As for the East India Company, things are simpler.

If the Portuguese government and the Dutch government have to take into account some faces and maintain official dignity, however, the negotiation between Li Yuanqing and the East India Company is a completely "bayonet red" business negotiation.

At this time, the East India Company almost monopolized more than half of the spice business in Southeast Asia and almost monopolized most of the trade between Taiwan and Japan. However, they were powerless to deal with the Daming market, especially the Daming north market.

But Daming north is rich in resources, especially Korean ginseng, Changbai mountain ginseng, pilose antler, all kinds of animal skins, and all kinds of rare herbs, which are very popular for the powerful people all over the world.Unfortunately, before, they could only get these things from the south of the Yangtze River at a high price through the Zheng family.

Now, with the existence of Li Yuanqing, all this is much simpler.

At this time, the fur production in southern Liaoning of Li Yuanqing, the eastern Liaoning of Mao Wenlong, and xihar'erwei in Kuye island could not be less than 400000 pieces. If the market was good, it would be a small matter to exceed 500000 pieces.

In addition to the Changsheng camp and Changsheng island itself, about 35000 pieces of fur will be consumed, and most of the rest will be put on the market except for some military reserves.

However, neither fan yongdou nor Qu Mingrui can eat so many goods, and the price is not high.

The main reason is that the Shanxi merchants and the Mongolian side of the source of goods, so there is a lot of room for choice. Although Li Yuanqing has the initiative in the supply of goods, in fact, he does not have much choice.

With the involvement of the East India Company, everything changed suddenly.

Li Yuanqing will provide the East India Company with all kinds of "local products" from the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, the East India Company will provide Li Yuanqing with a large number of "imported products" from the South Ocean, such as glass, gold and silver ware, pocket watches and clocks, spices, and even white women slaves.

Li Yuanqing even marked the price of white female slaves aged 15 to 35. At the baseline level, they were all one hundred and twenty. The better the appearance was, the higher the price was, and there was no ceiling!

At the same time, they also bought white male slaves at a low price.

His middle island and West Island, including many mines in southern Liaoning Province, needed a lot of these capable and powerful white slaves.

But black people, even if it's a free gift, Li Yuanqing doesn't want it.

Of course, there is also the most critical core point, which is food.

At this time, the weather and climate in Northeast Asia, or in the north of the Tropic of cancer, were cruelly affected by the little ice age. However, to the south of the Tropic of cancer, especially the Ganges and Indus river basins, were not affected much. Their rice and corn were almost bumper every year and could not be consumed at all.

Li Yuanqing and William Li also reached a formal written agreement, each transaction between the two sides, the East India Company must carry enough grain, at least one million jin, as long as the quality is qualified, it can be directly used as silver!

William Lee and the East India company basically have no objection to this.

It's a long way to go from Daming to India to buy grain. Even if the cost and price are lower than that of Daging's Huguang grain, it's hard to take shape due to various reasons.

However, the Dutch, especially the East India Company, have no such obstacles.

Although the Dutch East India Company and the British Empire's East India Company have always been competitors, at least for the moment, there is no clear conflict of interest between the two sides. How can British devils refuse such a good thing that they can make money by talking about it?

Not to mention, the Dutch's idea of Ceylon, or later Sri Lanka's gem, is not a day or two.

Not three days later, Li Yuanqing and Li Wilhelm got along with each other and jointly signed a secret agreement of dozens of pages.

At the same time, the opening ceremony of the Pan Pacific Trading Company is also under intense preparation.

Even though Manila and Spanish authorities have not made clear their position, the Portuguese and Dutch have legally recognized the legal status of the Pan Pacific Trading Company. Even if the Spaniards want to make waves, it is not so easy!

On the afternoon of September 16, 2006, Yang Xiaobo's fleet successfully entered Brunei port.

Li Yuanqing personally went to the wharf to welcome Yang Xiaobo and his party back triumphantly.

In the temporary office of Li Yuanqing wharf stronghold, Yang Xiaobo did not have time to rest, so he quickly reported to Li Yuanqing the course of these days.

Their voyage from Manila was very smooth, first to Jakarta, then to Surabaya, and then to Malacca. Adhering to the basic principle of dumping goods by Li Yuanqing, they had friendly exchanges and exchanges with local officials and major Chinese and Chinese businessmen.

Let alone the high-quality official cargo of Li Yuanqing, it is the "inferior product" of Changsheng Island tycoons, which are almost sold out.

When he returned to Brunei, he learned that Li Yuanqing was fighting with Jack the executioner. Just as Li Yuanqing had expected, Yang Xiaobo resolutely chose to shore for shelter. After the situation became clear, he quickly returned to Brunei port.

Li Yuanqing lit a cigar and slapped Yang on the shoulder with a smile: "boat, hard work! You've done a good job in this

Yang Xiaobo kowtowed respectfully to Li Yuanqing: "general, I just hate that my humble duty is not at the right time, and I didn't participate in the fight to exterminate Jack the executioner!"

Li Yuanqing smile: "you can save the fleet, is already the biggest credit! Do you know about the Pan Pacific Trading Company? "

Yang Xiaobo nodded with a smile, "I know my humble duty. The general is wise! If we want to have a foothold in Nanyang, we can only learn from these white haired monkeys! Although they are not so good, they are more mature and stable in these aspects than we Daming. "Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile. Among any three people walking, I will find something to learn for sure! The more opponents we have, the more we have to study their strengths, learn from each other and finally defeat them! "

Yang Xiaobo looked solemn, "the general's instruction, the boat in mind!"

Li Yuanqing picked up the boat with a smile, "you and I don't have to be so polite! By the way, have you heard from the white lady? "

Yang Xiaobo's face turned red for a moment. After a long time, she stammered: "general, listen, I heard that she went to India..."

Li Yuanqing laughed: "boat, this matter, I'm going to criticize you! Men should take the initiative! Let's see! I will grant you 100000 liang of silver. You must chase this white lady! Take her back to Changsheng island

"Ah?"

Yang Xiaobo was not surprised and said, "general, this is how to make it!"

However, Li Yuanqing deliberately stiffened his face, "this is the order of Laozi! Yes? Do you dare to disobey orders, you son of a bitch? "

"General..."

Yang boat stupidly looked at Li Yuanqing, a moment, but tears can not stop pouring out, "yes!"
