Chapter 801: Traveler’s Song, Homer’s Peace, Yehai City
Felipe believes that Taixi needs unprecedented solidarity in order to fight against the wake -up of the ancient oriental civilization, and to effectively protect the interests of the entire Tyesi.
He sent a large number of envoys to communicate with the major countries in Thailand and Spain, including Russia, Poland, the Hanseatic League, the Baltic States, France, etc., in an attempt to establish a huge Thai-Spanish business alliance.
Fighting against the dumping of Daming's goods to Taixi, protecting Taixi's hand workshop industry, and protecting the ownership of overseas colonies.
What is more interesting is that the plan for this business alliance even includes Russia, but does not include England.
In the eyes of Felippe, unite the entire Thailand, give benefits to all parties, and is unwilling to transfer benefits to England people. This is the consensus of Thai West countries.
Without the English as troublemakers, how could Taisi be in such chaos?
The main purpose of Felippe's willingness to give benefits and unite Thai West is to maintain the core interests of Spain. The oversupply of the imperial empire is not replaced by the Ming Dynasty.
Daming opened the sea, surging, aggressive, and too powerful.
But in the eyes of most people in the West, is that protecting the interests of the West? ! Basically to protect your Spanish interests!
Why do you, Felipe, make such a plan as the leader of Tessie!
Zhu Yijun knew very well that it would be difficult for this huge business alliance to succeed, but it is unpredictable. Once more Ming products enter the West, will these countries whose interests have been harmed because of the Eastern Lion invading their territories? And what about unity?
This is an issue that the Ming court must consider. Therefore, it is not enough for an Englishman to be a troublemaker.
Taixi is still not chaotic.
"Does the Neidland region send me a messenger this year?" Zhu Xijun asked the specific situation of Feng Bao, the Messenger of Taixi.
"We still sent two envoys, one from the Southern League, the Alaska League (Belgium), a golden-haired fan named Thomas De Vere, and one from the Northern League, the Utrecht League (Netherlands), a red-haired fan. The name is Iron Mullen." Feng Bao briefly introduced the situation of the next two envoys.
The Netherlands is divided into northern and southern regions. The situation is very complicated. Even they themselves cannot explain clearly. The specific situations of the northern and southern regions can only be briefly summarized.
The south is the surrender. It is mainly represented by the old nobles. It is very close to Spain. If it is not for the religious referee, the south will not acknowledge independence. Until now, the South League still acknowledges Feipepe as the highest king.
The north is a stubbornist, and the "Vowing Act" is their common program. The vowing bill is vowing to get rid of the brutal rule of Spain, and initially established an agency administrative system. And officials.
The independence of the Netherlands is a bourgeois revolution. In fact, it refers specifically to the stubborn rebels in the north. They do not accept any compromise and must be independent. They need to face the joint suppression of the old local aristocrats and the foreign god Spain.
"Let's see Inemaron to see it alone." Zhu Xijun made a decision.
Zhang Juzheng has deeply exchanged the opinions of the cabinet with Emperor Daming.
What the cabinet means is that it does not want to see a united Europe and the West, and will never allow the emergence of a major business alliance or economic community between the United States and Spain, allowing them to form synergy in business, which will affect free trade.
Zhu Yanjun announced that Ine Mallen, the cabinet would not oppose it.
When necessary, Daming can sell some goods to the North Alliance. For example, the salt, firearms, gunpowder, five -masts of ocean ships, and three -mast splints they urgently need to get rid of economy and military dependence on the Spaniards.
As long as Felipe cannot fully regain the Neidland area, Felipe's reputation will not rise to the identity of the leader of Thaici, because Felipe, a powerful king, has gone bankruptcy twice, and it is a bit infamous.
"Live His Majesty, Long live His Majesty, Long live, long live." Ian Malun was very respectful. He has reached Daming many times.
He was very clear that the king in front of him stood at the pinnacle of human power.
Even if there is no substantive interests, the Northern Union still dispatches messengers every year to maintain basic friendship, even if it cannot be treated with friendship, and cannot become enemies.
"Without ceremony, let's sit down and talk." Zhu Yijun said kindly: "How did you come to the Ming Dynasty? I heard that Felipe blocked your fleet, but you still boarded the ship to the Ming Dynasty. .”
When Iron Mullen was thirteen years old, he became a pirate from a miller's son, and then began his tough life. At the age of thirteen, when he was still a child, he was forced to become a pirate.
If we look at it from the standard of good and evil, the independence of the Netherlands is just, but Felipe's local rule is indeed too inappropriate.
But Ming Dynasty must consider Ming Dynasty's interests. Because of the treatment of Spanish allies, Ming Dynasty did not have too much contact with the Northern Alliance.
Ian's identity is relatively complicated. He is a member of the North League, the captain, the pirate, and the son of the mill.
Ine Mallen quickly replied: "His Majesty, His Royal Highness Antonio needs to disperse the goods in Lisbon, so the Dutch fleet can successfully reach Lisbon, which may also be the purpose of Felipe to plan Portugal." < br>
"Your wise Majesty, Ming Dynasty's goods have allowed Taixi to gain some freedom from the pressure of religion."
Zhu Yijun understood and continued to ask: "Felipe hasn't canceled the reward on your head yet? I heard that your envoy's head is worth five thousand taels of gold."
Iron Mullen said very proudly: "Your learned and well-informed Majesty, my current reward has been increased from fifty thousand hot florins to one hundred thousand, which is ten thousand taels of gold! This is an honor!"
"The previous year, I led the army to defeat the Spanish generous formation again, letting His Royal His Royal Highness lose his face. In a furious, he raised my bounty."
Zhu Xunjun nodded again and again, hadn't seen each other for a few years, and he increased the price. He said with some emotion: "That is really amazing. I have heard of the invincible fame of the Spanish square matrix, but now it seems that the Spanish square matrix is also It's not invincible "
Ian Marun thought about it: "There is no invincible army in the world, and Spain's generous formation has been invincible until people have found a method of targeting it; the Spanish invincible fleet has also invincible, but now several attacks, but now the attack, now the attack, but now the attacks several times. "
"Wise prophet, as you said in "Contradiction", everything in the world is changing all the time. Whether it is people or countries, if they cannot keep up with the changes, they will be eliminated by the changes."
"Even the Spanish that is not as strong as the sun, after all, there is the day of sunset."
The name of Erne Malun has changed a little, from His Majesty to the Prophet. His identity of these words has changed from messengers to believers and big -religious believers.
"Oh? Your envoy actually has done research on the theory of contradiction?" Zhu Yijun asked slightly surprised.
"I am a panic of the Da Guangming religion. The prophet does not particularly care about Da Guangming religion. Da Guangming does not need to be baptized. You only need to think that he is a believer who is a Da Guangming religion, and you can walk in the world as a believer." Ian Marlen explained why he was a believer.
Da Guangming does not need any washing ceremony. As long as you think you are, you are, you suddenly don't recognize this narrative, you can think that you are not at any time, that is not, this is the freedom advocated by the Da Guangming religion.
I chose my own belief. What others forcibly attached to you are not faith, but shackles.
"So that's it. I didn't know that becoming a believer does not require baptism." Zhu Yijun glanced at Iron Mullen in surprise. He actually saw the advanced nature of the Great Light Sect. This thing actually comes and goes freely.
"Whether the prophet knows does not affect the believer to complete his life according to the wisdom of the prophet." Ene Malun believes that this is reasonable.
It is very important that the Holy See in the West is a servant of God, not God’s will on earth.
Because in this way, the incarnation of wisdom, the prophet himself, would not and would not be able to directly interfere in religious affairs.
In fact, this phenomenon is extremely common. For example, Confucius himself did not understand "Sages' Instructions" as much as Confucian scholars; Shakespeare did not understand "Hamlet" better than readers.
The emperor created the doctrine of the Great Guangming religion. As for what the Daguang Ming Church developed, the emperor did not have to be responsible for the Da Guangming religion.
Zhu Yijun thought about what Iron Mullen said before smiling and said: "Okay, let's talk about serious things, such as trade. What can the Northern Alliance provide to the Ming Dynasty? What does the Northern Alliance need?"
< br>
Ian Maren said helplessly: "The North League is urgently needed to salt at the moment. Felipe II finds our salt lakes and mining areas in the new world by buying it."
"Without salt, it is impossible to convince everyone to revolt against Felipe II. In addition to salt, we need weapons."
"And there are not many things we can provide, and Ming Dynasty seems to need nothing."
The Ming Dynasty produces and builds everything. It only needs silver from the West, but the Northern Alliance does not control the rich silver mountains. This is the crux of the problem and the biggest obstacle to trade. It cannot provide the goods that the Ming Dynasty is interested in.
"Then what can you provide? Do you want me to give it to you for free?" Zhu Yijun asked with a frown.
Iron Mullen frowned and said: "We can only provide gold, but Ming Dynasty does not need gold, which makes us very sad. Your Majesty, why does Ming Dynasty not need gold?"
This problem has plagued Ean Marlen for nearly five years. Since the Daming fleet arrives in Lisbon's mighty arrival, the North Alliance cannot benefit from it at all.
It wasn't that the Northern Alliance didn't have goods for exchange, but that there wasn't enough silver, and bartering was too slow.
"There is no such problem now. Daming has begun to collect gold. If there is gold for payment, this business will be necessary." Zhu Yijun said with a bright smile.
Daming did not need gold in the past. It was policy needs. Gold now is also a policy need.
"This is really a good news." Ian Marlen relieved. If Daming still uses silver as an equivalent to trade, it is difficult to have in -depth trade with Daming.
The gold of the North League made a little by with both hands.
The Northern Alliance has a total of seven provinces and has the most and largest handicraft workshops in the whole of Europe and the West. It produces a variety of goods and sells them to the countries in the United States and Europe. However, it is very difficult to change the medium of goods from gold to silver.
This involves the re -measurement of a large amount of goods prices, not just as simple as simple gold and silver exchange ratio.
Ine Malun actually understands why Daming collects gold very well, because the silver of Taixi is a bit not enough. As far as Daming's demand for silver, no matter how much silver in the world is, it is not enough to suck in Daming.
"I have a gift for Your Majesty. Our explorer Henry Hudson discovered a foothold in North America in the distant New World. We call it New Netherland."
"Here is a chart that can reach New Netherland from the West. It is true that starting from the Ming Dynasty, this chart does not seem to be of any use, but I noticed that His Majesty is offering rewards for various charts."
"This sea map is dedicated to His Majesty as a gift."
Iron Mullen prepared a gift for His Majesty the Emperor, two nautical charts, thirteen star charts, six needle charts, navigational notes and the latitude and longitude of the New Netherland part.
Zhu Yijun was proficient in Latin and arithmetic. He knew the location of New Netherland from the relatively rudimentary Cantonese maps and navigation notes. Later generations called this place: Manhattan. "It can be seen that Felipe has put a lot of pressure on you." Zhu Yijun put away the chart and said calmly.
The word New Neidland, the word, represents a lot of meaning behind it. One of the meaning is that Nidland has died, and there will be new Nidland.
Ian Marlen glanced at the emperor in surprise, and then lowered his head immediately, bowing his head and said, "Indeed, we have already done the possibility of Nidelland being occupied by Felipe again. He can seize our land, but Can't seize our will to resist. "
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "Then I will give you a sentence, if you save the land and lose people, everyone and the land will be lost; if you save the people and lose the land, everyone will save the land."
This sentence is not difficult to understand. In the choice of people and earth, the most important thing is to retain people. If you choose the ground, people and the ground will be lost; if you choose people, people and earth will be preserved.
This sentence is suitable for all rebels. There is no need to worry too much about the gains and losses of a city or a place. The most important thing is the support of the people.
"Thank you for the prophet's enlightenment." Iron Mallon thought for a moment and thanked the emperor again for his inspiration.
In fact, the resistance situation in the Neidland region became worse and worse, especially Felipe changed the play, and began to be Huairou instead of blindly conquering in the past. This made the Southern Alliance surrender. The form became worse.
People are no longer as united as they used to be, and to this day, Iron Mullen doesn’t know what changed Felipe’s strategy.
What made Felipe change his strategy was Legaz's return to the West and a fifteen-day long talk with Felipe in a monastery in Madrid.
On the fifteenth day, I changed a lot of ideas and many ideas of Felipe, and also changed the situation of Tyzy.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
"I don't know if His Majesty knows Coconut Sea City?" Ene Malun said nervously: "Coconut Sea City is the name given by Daming. Our fleet can successfully reach Coconut Sea City, hoping to get enough from Coconut Sea City enough The spices are returned to Tyzy for sale so that they can get more gold. "
Iron Mullen means favor charter trade.
Yehai City (Jakarta) is located in the northwest of Java Island. It is the largest city in the Old Port Governor's Palace besides Malacca City. The Ming Dynasty has completely occupied Yehai City, which is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
There are Han townships in Yehai City, with a population of 113,000 Han people, accounting for 40% of the entire Dingkou of Yehai City.
In the sixth year of Wanli, Yehai City was included in the pioneering land by Zhang Yuanxun. In the fifteenth year of Wanli, nine years later, today, it is already a dazzling pearl of Wanli Seawall, Song of Travelers and Ning of Residence.
There are more than 20 plantations in Yehai City, and the cinchona used in Jieguyuan comes from Yehai City. As the name suggests, coconut trees are like the sea.
Coconut Haifu Zhifu is Zhang Jirong, a son of Zhang Yuanxun, but the specific manager is Yang Kun and Pan Mingyan. These two people are Zhang Yuanxun's staff, and the people of Guangzhou government are born.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "You want a license for the spice trade, but I cannot grant it. You can load and unload spices in the Strait of Malacca and return to the West."
Zhang Yuanxun had heard of this. These Neidlanders, I am afraid that the purpose is not just spices, but territory.
It is obviously more convenient to ship spices from the Strait of Malacca, and the price is not unacceptable, but it can save at least three months of purchasing time. For businessmen, time is money, and you can still make a lot of money when you return to the West. , the more trips you make, the more you earn.
But the Needland people repeatedly requested the trade permits to enter the Malacca Strait. These barbaric thoughts can be imagined.
Zhu Xunjun naturally does not agree to this request. There are competition and cooperation. It is the normal diplomatic normal between the country. It is mistaken for the naiveness of the country as a family, which is a little bit of childhood as a child.
Inemaron thanked Sann again and chose to leave the Tonghe Miya Royal Study.
This mission was not in vain, at least it solved the urgent problem of salt.
"Feng Daban, do you think Yehai City really has golden beaches and sea-like coconut groves?" Zhu Yijun stood in front of the world map, looking at the location of Yehai City, and asked curiously.
"Everyone said yes, I want to come." Feng Bao bowed his head and said: "Wait until the camera technology is more mature, and send Xiaohuangmen to Coconut Sea City to take some photos for His Majesty."
"Lin Fucheng's research on Nanyang's plantation also introduced in detail Han Township and Nanyang Dream. It is extremely clear and difficult to achieve."
His Majesty is a little curious about Nanyang Meng, and he is a little longing for, but as the supreme world in the world, His Majesty will not go to Coconut Sea City in this life to see the style of Han Township.
The vigorous development of the Old Port Governor's Mansion has a great relationship with Governor Zhang Yuanxun.
Zhang Yuanxun is a native of Taizhou, Zhejiang. He is a hereditary hundred households. From the bottom level, he climbed to the position of the general soldier by virtue of his military achievements. In the battle of Pingzheng, he experienced more than 110 battles in the battle.
The Zhejiang people in Caohai City are the most. Fujian and Guangzhou are followed. This is the trust of Zhang Yuanxun, just like Yu Dazhen went to Songjiang Prefecture to form a sailor. Some people with aspiration immediately ran away.
In the past, the rewards given to Zhang Yuanxun by the Ming Dynasty were far from matching his achievements.
Now, Yingyanghou Zhang Yuanxun has become the governor of the Governor's Mansion, which is powerful in Southeast Asia.
Zhu Yijun looked at the Kanyu map for a long time, then sat down in front of the imperial case, continued to work on the memorial in his hand, and continued to polish it.
At dusk, Legas, who was at home, wrote a memorial in which he seriously stated his position and expressed his dissatisfaction with the Ming Emperor's separate summons to the envoys of the Northern Netherlands Alliance.
"Hey, now Legas remembers that he is still Felipe's minister?" Zhu Yijun finished reading the memorial and said with a smile: "Since he has been in the Ming Dynasty for so long, doesn't he know that he signed this memorial? It’s of no use?”
Under the concept of noble morals, it is easy to personify Guochao, but when it comes to interactions between countries, if Guochao is really personified, then Guochao must be a duplicitous, profit-seeking, capricious, and extremely rotten person.
Not moral and lofty good people.
In terms of the attitude towards the Northern League of the Nidland area, it shows vividly.
"As a Spanish, at this time, he always shows his attitude." Feng Bao duo felt it didn't matter. Li Ya was just talking about it, instead of secretly acting, bribing the official officials of the Ministry of Rites, and prevented the affectionate affection. Da let the emperor make a mistake.
This was an activity of enemy agents. If Legasif really did this, he would not be imprisoned, but would be beheaded in public.
Feng Bao felt that Li Ya was a Tyedians, and it was a bit reasonable to express his attitude.
"Li Yazhi asked in his memorial whether my meeting with Iron Mullen meant that he wanted to break with Spain and cancel Spain's status as a friendly country. This is the purpose of his memorial." Zhu Yijun said without paying much attention: "The noise is noisy. , after all, there is still business to be done.”
"He Felipe II was reversed, saying that the market changed talents, and he exiled people, and he took the golden paste to make it.
Zhu Yanjun found a very far -fetched reason, and it was a bit reasonable.
Daming has determined the value of gold from the beginning of the gold and storage gold, so it is not a Spanish's exchange of talents in the market for talents. After all, the total value of gold and silver is converted to 5.9 million silver, which does not reduce the scale of trade.
Felipe has no enough silver. Daming is as absorbing silver as before, and Felipe can only declare that Spain went bankrupt for the third time.
The reason is far -fetched, but there is a reason for AIA.
"Catch him into the North Town Fusi Da Lingli for ten days! He knew it all day!" Zhu Xunjun watched the play, and immediately ordered it to catch people and close it for ten days!
Li Ya really told a big joke.
He said in Zou Shuli: Daming will have three things, birth, death, and tax evasion. If a person has never escaped the tax throughout his life, it means that he has already fingered on the national tax system. Fish leak!
Legas had no other purpose in telling this joke. He just wanted to remind the Ming Emperor that when collecting taxes, he should strictly pay attention to the scope of tax collection, and not to be maliciously expanded law enforcement, which would eventually lead to complaints.
On the day when the Taxation Yuan Tiqi was forced to take back the emperor, it was very likely that the emperor would become a joke. The tax collection matter might be arranged into something by future generations.
Daming made a decision, met with the messenger of Neidland, and promised to sell it to the Needland salt, which caused Felipe to want to have a smaller price and the desire to regain the loss of land.
Spain's reaction must be treated with caution.
The sailing ship of the large sailing ship would stop at many ports, many of which were the governor's palaces of Spain. The Ming Dynasty also set up public halls in these places to do some small business.
Zhu Yijun pointed at the location of Pengju Port and said solemnly: "Silver completely depends on the inflow from outside, which is still the biggest hidden danger. Felipe doesn't even need to do anything. He only needs to stop the sailing trade. The Ming Dynasty will fall into a serious shortage of silver.”
"In fact, the decrease in silver inflows in the past two years has already been harmful to the country and Wanwei Xinxin, which has caused a certain harm."
"The success of the Wanli Reform is also due to the contribution of silver, and it cannot be ignored. How to make more silver flow to the Ming Dynasty instead of Taixi is an issue that I and the Ming Dynasty must consider."
Pengju Port is the planning of Daming.
However, this plan will be difficult to realize in the short term. With Incheon so close at hand, the Ming Dynasty was a little helpless in the landing operations, let alone the Governor-General of Peru thousands of miles away.
"Your Majesty, Felipe probably won't make any more radical decisions." Feng Bao said with a frown: "After all, the Ming Dynasty's global trade fleet and the governor's offices are very welcoming."
"If the trade of European and Western galleons is cut off and the trade concession granted to the Ming Dynasty is withdrawn, the various governor-general offices will also alienate themselves from the mainland."
"The way to break people's wealth is like killing parents. Feli broke the financial road of the Governor's Mansion. The vital interests of these governors were damaged. "
"Feng Daban, your analysis is very reasonable, but you still don't understand what I mean." Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "Your idea still relies on the friendliness of the enemy, internal strife, and the cessation of the flow of silver. , once it happens, Ming Dynasty will not have any means to counter it in a short period of time.”
"I don't want to be controlled by others."
"The ministers are dull." Feng Bao hurriedly thanked him. In fact, he understood the emperor's meaning, but Daming did not have silver, and the output of 100,000 silver a year a year was a real cup of salary.
"The cabinet will ask for advice in the next chapter. If the cabinet is helpless, I will think about it again." Zhu Yijun looked at the map and thought about countermeasures.
This feeling of being controlled by others is unbearable for an emperor with unlimited power.
This is not the same as the Daming bell, was caught by Felipe? Do Felipe want to pinch, look at Felipe's heart?
