Chapter 105 A small collision between land power and sea power
What Zhang Juzheng was worried about is happening. Ming Dynasty is indeed gradually losing its commodity advantage.
The specific performance is as follows: The only ships that the Ming Dynasty can build now are two-masted sailing ships with a load of four hundred materials. The three-masted ships and treasure ships that showed off the East and West during the Yongle period have become history. Shipyards have long lost the ability to build such large ships.
We are still able to produce two-masted sailboats because the Ming Dynasty’s sea ban did not prohibit two-masted ships from entering the sea.
During the long-term maritime ban, Ming Dynasty has lost its commodity advantage in the field of shipbuilding. Whether it is wood, tung oil, canvas, or ship design, Ming Dynasty's ships have fallen behind in all aspects.
So, Francisco Sander, the governor of Luzon, wanted to sell the ship. The price was high and he also made extremely excessive demands.
The specifics are:
First, the Xiaofolangji people have been stealing Haojing for decades. They, the Dafolangji people, are willing to make peace with the Ming Dynasty and beg Songjiang Prefecture for a cowhide land to multiply. live.
Second, redefine the customs duties, from the previous one-to-one tax to ton tax. For example, if a ship has 200 tons, it will no longer be divided into points. Instead, no matter what is sold, it will be taxed in tons. Tax calculation and tax payment.
Third, it is better than the tariffs of other countries. The Dafo Langji merchant ship only paid full tax for the first time. After that, the ship only had to pay 1/3 of the first amount for each trade. For ships of only 200 tonnage, the full tonnage tax is 5,400 taels of silver, and 1,800 taels thereafter.
Fourth, the priority for purchasing goods. The quantity of raw silk is limited, and silk is a hard currency among hard currencies in Europe and the West. It is hard to get even a trace. The people of Dafo Langji require priority in purchasing, which is better than other countries.
Fifth, Legas, the special envoy of King Dafo Langji, hopes to make a pilgrimage to the capital of the Ming Dynasty in order to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty.
There are five requests in total, no matter which one makes Daming feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
However, the Governor of Luzon made this rude request grandly, and the Dafo Langji people only guaranteed that the ship could be sold, and it was up to them to confirm the number of ships sold and when they would be delivered. .
The most important thing is that only full payment reservations are accepted. Whoever pays first will get the boat.
This year's large sailing ship arrived earlier than before. Due to time constraints, Yuegang did not have sufficient supply of raw silk. The advantage of Songjiang Prefecture, which is a thoroughfare to nine provinces, was reflected. Therefore, Francisco and Legaz and Captain Antonio anchored the ship at the Shipping Department of Songjiang City, waiting for the supply of raw silk.
"Governor, your arrogance will lead us to hell sooner or later." Antonio said quite distressedly.
Even Antonio felt that Governor Francisco’s conditions were too excessive. Only the fifth condition was still possible to be achieved.
The remaining conditions look like a joke from any angle, and Captain Antonio, who only wants to do business, is very dissatisfied with these conditions.
Francisco said quite calmly: "There is an old saying in the East, the lion opens its mouth wide, the conditions we proposed are too much, they can negotiate with us, if we say arrogance, the people in this land , Isn’t it more arrogant to think that oneself is the Kingdom of God on earth and has a higher status than all countries in the world?”
"Heaven is above the country? Humph."
Francisco's sentence is in Chinese, "Heaven is above the country, and the country is obedient to the people." He was very disdainful of these words.
Antonio spread his hands and said: "They are indeed arrogant enough, but if I were the king of this land, I would also be arrogant. It is too rich here. Raw silk is equivalent to gold, here You can buy it with just silver, and the price is crazy cheap.”
“I have built a factory in Mexico and purchased three thousand Bigfoot people to process the raw silk and weave it into something very beautiful. The silk was sold at the price of gold in Lisbon."
Legas said with a smile: "Mr. Captain, why don't you tell me about your mistress, a noble lady from France. Isabel, for a silk product, she is willing to show off her elegant and plump figure, it must be very delicious."
"Hahaha", the three people laughed heartily in the hotel. It brings enough social status, and wealth brings more slaves. Wealth can bring everything you want, even the noble aristocratic woman is willing to admire her.
Antonio was not sure how many titles the woman named Isabel had, but she was indeed a noble woman.
A middle-aged man wearing a linen shirt and looking quite elegant came in, pushed up his glasses and said: "Three gentlemen, I don't want to disturb the three gentlemen, but there is one thing I must do. Remind you that officials from the Ming Dynasty have just sent a message. "
"This is bad news. The officials of the Ming Dynasty have unilaterally banned the purchase of raw silk for our ships, and it is a permanent ban. Our conditions offended them, so they wanted to punish us."
"It is worth noting that this ban will apply in Yuegang and Songjiang Ports, and we will not be able to obtain raw silk legally."
"I think we shouldn't conflict with them, because we can't defeat their navy. They have the local advantage. This is the Ming Dynasty."
"Their general named Yu Dayou, in this land, It seems to be a taboo existence, and even the nobles here dare not show their arrogant side to General Yu Dayou. "
This man is the first mate on the ship, and he owns one-sixth of the Romans. By blood, he comes from the seaside city of Lisbon, which is the capital of Portugal. The original meaning of Lisbon is: praising Caesar.
The first mate continued: "I heard the news that the nobles from the southern capital sent their children to General Yu Dayou. They started as apprentices. They suffered a lot, but The nobles in the southern capital expressed their gratitude to General Yu Dayou. "
"In fact, it is absolutely impossible for our large sailing ship to defeat General Yu Dayou. It may take a hundred? ”
The first mate saw General Yu Dayou’s southern soldiers. Although he saw not many, they were elite and professional soldiers, and they could not be eliminated by an armed merchant ship.
As soon as Antonio heard that the Ming Dynasty no longer allowed Dafo Langji people to buy raw silk, he immediately felt as sad as if his father had died. He said angrily: "Mr. Governor, you have caused trouble again!"< br>
"You, the lion, opened your mouth and offended the majesty of the Ming Dynasty! You kept emphasizing to me that the people of the Ming Dynasty are very face-conscious, and you can get enough benefits as long as you respect them, but how did you do it?"
< br>"You are offending them!"
"This is a civilized world, they are not those barbaric natives. When we give them respect, they will give us respect, and when we do not respect them They won’t give us any respect, this is civilization!”
"Damn, I bought three thousand Bigfoots. If I can't get back the raw silk, I'll be damned if I find a way to sell these expensive Bigfoots who can weave cloth!"
Francisco said indifferently: "I said before that as long as there is a chance, every Ming person will become a pirate. No one is loyal to their emperor. In fact, the Ming court always conservatively refuses trade. , before the emergence of Yuegang, we could not even trade with the Ming people."
"Do you know what I did? The Ming court wanted to maintain the majesty of the emperor, but the wealthy merchants and nobles of the Ming Dynasty. We want to make money.”
“So, we only need to secretly trade with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. You know, merchants are even willing to sell their souls to the devil for profit, and are not afraid of the wind and waves on the sea. Barbaric natives."
The first mate said solemnly: "Mr. Governor, you may be disappointed. I have contacted some businessmen or landowners, and they are very resistant to violating the ban. It seems that there is one family. The nobility that has been passed down for hundreds of years has just been destroyed by a few pieces of paper."
"Captain Antonio, as the first mate on the ship, I do not recommend that my captain does this, as it will further cause conflict. Upgrade, we have offended Daming. If we continue to offend, something worse may happen."
"Captain, we are here to do business, and making money is our first purpose, isn't it. ?”
Antonio stood up after hearing the first officer’s reminder, straightened his clothes, and said with a smile: “First Officer Marcus, your reminder is really timely! I’m here to do business! , you shit politicians, don’t even think about interfering with my business!”
“If necessary, I will chop off your head and give it to the Ming Emperor in exchange for understanding!”
Wang Daokun suspended the raw silk trade on the large sailing ship in order to divide the decision-making level on the large sailing ship. Just like the interests of the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the powerful and wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty were not the same. Wang Daokun analyzed that the interests between them were The interests are also different.
The excessive demands of the Governor of Luzon were obviously contrary to the purpose of making a fortune, so Wang Daokun made a bold move and stopped the raw silk trade in order to divide the decision-making level of the galleons, cause them to have differences and infighting, and then actively reduce the excessive demands. demands and continue to negotiate.
Wang Daokun did not know that merchants, as an emerging class in Western Europe, have mastered wealth and the majority of the right to speak. The merchants who do business everywhere are angry from their hearts and evil from their courage. It was not uncommon to cut off local governors, and there would not be too much punishment.
The world is so big that most of the governors in various places spent money to obtain the position of governor. The dead governor can continue to sell money.
The gameplay of Ming Dynasty and Taixi is completely different, but contradictions are everywhere in everything.
Antonio was very angry because the governor's stupid decision caused him to lose a lot of wealth, which he did not allow to happen.
"You'd better find a way to atone for your crimes, damn it!" Antonio threw off his sleeves very angrily and left the hotel room.
In the afternoon, Francisco finally came up with a more sincere condition and gave it to the general manager of Guanyi, who passed it on to the Ming Dynasty officials.
After Wang Daokun got it, he asked Tongshi to translate it accurately. He clearly knew that this note was somewhat sincere. It was sincere but not enough.
In the new five-article agreement, all except the fifth article have been modified, but they are still very rude.
Article 1: You are not allowed to kneel before you, but you are greeted in the Burgundian etiquette.
Just this one item made Wang Daokun very embarrassed, and it was impossible for the Ministry of Rites to agree! The most important issue here is that in this bullshit Burgundian etiquette, people are not allowed to take a bath.
So these red-haired fans are always accompanied by a disgusting smell of body odor mixed with soju and pollen.
This smell was really unbearable for Wang Daokun. He met these envoys and could not understand the necessity of this etiquette of not bathing.
You still want to see His Majesty without taking a shower? The little emperor is so stinky, who will be responsible?
In order to negotiate with this group of self-proclaimed Dafolangji, Wang Daokun, after discussing with the internal official Zhang Cheng, the prisoner Qianhu Luo Bingliang, and the Songjiang general Yu Dayou, Luo Bingliang, the prisoner Qianhu, came forward and broke in. After arriving at the post, the governor of Luzon, the captain, the special envoy, and the first mate were thrown into the hot water pool and washed thoroughly amidst bursts of howling ghosts and wolves.
After forcing Hong Maofan to bathe, Wang Daokun finally summoned them.
Wang Daokun did not force the four of them to kneel on the ground to reply as required for the envoys of the vassal state in the "Notes on the Rituals of the Domain", but motioned for them to sit down.
Wang Daokun said: "It is etiquette to take a bath and change clothes."
"I heard that Tongshi said that after your king's third queen had a difficult delivery, the doctor kept recommending that she change her to another one. Cleaner bedding and bathing, but your king refused. In the end, the king’s beloved queen died three days later?”
The general translated Wang Daokun’s words very accurately.
Francisco was silent for a long time before he said: "That's it."
King Felipe II of Spain spent a full 10 million gold coins to build the famous Armada, but he couldn't keep it After his beloved wife had a difficult childbirth, the queen's fragile health gradually deteriorated in the poor sanitary environment. The palace pharmacist continued to recommend bathing and changing the environment to the king, but was restricted by religion and etiquette, and eventually passed away.
Big Buddha Langji and Little Buddha Langji always tell the love story of the king and the queen over and over again, but the result is a little sad.
After Wang Daokun heard Francisco's affirmative answer, he showed a smile and said: "Qi, you must have clear clothes and cloth, that is to say, you must change clothes after bathing. I don't quite understand how you can tolerate lice. The itching caused by crawling on the head, do you still insist on your etiquette now?"
Tongshi tried to accurately translate this allusion in "The Analects of Confucius Xiangdang", which he had organized for a long time. Language Cai said: "More than two thousand years ago, our sage Kong said that after bathing, you must put on clean clothes, which may not be silk or linen, but they must be clean."
Raising silkworms and silk has a long history. Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor, was regarded as the first silkworm empress. Since then, silk clothing has been a luxury item.
Bathing and changing clothes are always used together, which is also a Zhou ritual.
"Then let your etiquette serve as the standard." Francisco lowered his head at the first point. Whether he should take a shower or not is actually a topic that is often discussed throughout Tessie, but obviously, You should take a shower, but the lice are crawling around and itching is really scratching your heart and lungs.
Wang Daokun held the note in his hand and said: "Very good, we have reached the first consensus." "Second, your envoy asked us to open the trade of raw silk. Before you offend, we have been We are doing this business adhering to the principle that tolerance means greatness, but obviously you think this is a matter of course, and we cannot agree to this. ”
"In the future, you will not be able to buy raw silk, but you can buy finished silk. I believe you will make more profits by taking it back."
"In fact, the silk products you wear are nondescript and expensive clothing raw materials. , in your hands, the silk brand was almost destroyed.”
Antonio bought raw silk, and the silk products woven by slaves in Mexico were completely different from the silk products of the Ming Dynasty.
Silk is a raw material that is extremely difficult to handle. It is very difficult to dye and easy to fade. Even if it is not dyed, it will turn yellow quickly if it is not made properly. The silk craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty is very mature, and raw silk is sold It's really a waste to give it to these red-haired fans.
On the other hand, Wang Daokun wanted to fulfill his promise to the Nanya Jin gentry, which was trade protection.
The silk industry and cotton spinning industry are pillar industries in the industrial and commercial towns of Su, Hangzhou, Song, Jia, and Hu. The Ming Dynasty returned the land in Nanya. While taking back the acres of land occupied by the powerful gentry, they also needed to It was ensured that they could make a living after returning the land, and after the Songjiang Prefecture Shipping Department was established, trade protection and the protection of the Ming Dynasty silk industry and commerce were also the obligations of the court.
Raw silk has been banned from export, but silk products are not on the list. It’s just that compared to raw silk, silk fabrics are more expensive.
The ban on raw silk is not just a piece of paper. It can be implemented as soon as a decree is issued. It also involves the vital interests of the Jin gentry in Nanya.
Antonio looked at the silk product he was wearing, and then at the silk satin Wang Daokun was wearing, which was a third-grade court dress. It was self-evident how he should choose.
Even though the slaves he purchased were high-end goods that could weave cloth, they still could not weave and dye such exquisite silk.
Antonio nodded and said: "I just wanted silk, but there was not enough silk, so I bought raw silk. If Ming Dynasty could provide enough silk, I would not necessarily buy raw silk."
Wang Daokun looked serious. Said: "You don't have to worry about this. It's very good. We have reached the second consensus. The third issue is to cancel the Shipping Department and demand free trade."
"If we insist on this, then I'm afraid it will provoke a war. Although Dafo Langji is far away, Luzon is very close."
Antonio said with some confusion: "I always thought this was the easiest thing for your country to accept."
"My Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions." Wang Daokun did not explain too clearly.
In the 29th year of Jiajing, why did Anda Khan want to knock off the pass and why did he create the Gengxu Revolution? The original reason was the war launched by Anda Khan because of his failure to attack the Daming Gong City, and Anda Khan captured Beigukou and plundered the capital for eight days. He was only willing to withdraw after the emperor agreed to pay tribute.
Later, due to the issue of tribute trade, Ming Dynasty and Ada Khan fought for thirteen years, and created the monster Jin Party.
The court will never agree to this condition, and it will never even be submitted to the court for discussion. Otherwise, the crazy dogs of Ke Dao Yan Guan will definitely tear Wang Daokun to pieces. Wang Daokun stands on this condition. Hongmao Fan's stance is understandable. Their free trade actually means bypassing the Shipping Department and purchasing goods produced in the Ming Dynasty. To a certain extent, it can promote the flow of silver into the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Daokun has noticed that among the four people, it is the captain who makes the decision regarding trade, not the governor.
Wang Daokun said directly to Antonio: "The captain only has four million silver taels per ship. The shipping company is completely satisfied. If you have to fight a dozen, you can give it a try. If you are not afraid of delaying making money, ”
"Then it's better not to fight." Antonio waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I'm just a businessman."
"Very good, we have reached a third consensus, even if you bring four large sailing ships to Songjiang Fushibosi can also meet your needs." Wang Daokun looked at the fourth item, shook his head and said: "I can't agree to the fourth item."
"You want missionaries to preach. This kind of behavior is prohibited in the Ming Dynasty, especially now."
"Then what are you going to agree to? Is there any need to negotiate? Then we don't need to negotiate." Francisco said fiercely. He stood up, waved his arms and said: "I have said many times that you always conservatively refuse trade. You are more arrogant than us. Now it is you who need merchant ships, not us!"
Wang Daokun said with a smile: "I can promise you that your envoy Legashi will come to Beijing to meet with you. This is the only thing I can promise."
Francisco is leaving, but Legaz and Antonio are stable He sat down and ignored Francisco at all. This was in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This was not an indigenous country where children of nature roared without clothes.
Only a strong dragon can overwhelm a local snake. This local snake in the east is a giant dragon, a behemoth. An armed merchant ship, open to commercial ships for purchase, can suppress this giant dragon. Francis is always dreaming.
Franciscos had a plan to conquer the Ming Dynasty before, from the first twenty soldiers to one or two thousand soldiers, and now to the ten or twenty thousand soldiers. King Felipe II of Spain was not a fool and ignored the madman Francisco Francisco’s advice.
Antonio, I don’t think that 10,000 to 20,000 Spanish soldiers can destroy the Ming Dynasty. Even the 3,000 Southern soldiers cannot be captured by 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers from afar.
King Felipe II of Spain sent his special envoy Legaz in order to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty. The two extremely distant countries have no possibility of conquering each other. Cooperating with each other can bring benefits to each other. More opportunities.
And Antonio is here to do business, and all he cares about is making money.
Da Ming's attitude was much better than the legend said, especially Governor Songjiang who was always kind and cheerful. Although he did not agree to the conditions, he never refused to communicate.
“I think we have a lot to talk about.” Legas, the Spanish royal envoy, said with a smile: “I come from distant Europe with sincerity and goodwill. My king is A very accomplished monarch, he built an invincible fleet and obtained the power of free passage of the sea. When I came to the East, my king spoke to me. "
"He told me. Me: We must find ways to establish commercial ties with China in order to obtain Chinese silk, porcelain, benzoin, musk and other supplies. By carrying out such commercial activities, residents can immediately increase their wealth and income. ”
"While the Armada is very powerful, it is also very expensive."
Legas is telling the truth. In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, Felipe II declared the bankruptcy of the Spanish state, and Legas left. In Spain, Felipe II, who had established the Armada, was planning to declare bankruptcy for the second time. Although he had increased taxes many times, the finances that could not make ends meet still aroused dissatisfaction among the Spanish.
Building and maintaining a huge armada requires gold coins.
Captain Antonio said eagerly: "My first mate said that the Ming army is very powerful. I want to see the power of the East. I wonder if the distinguished Ming officials can satisfy my wish?"< br>
"This is our first mate Marcus. He is a brave sailor who has defeated wind, waves, giant beasts and natives on the sea."
Wang Daokun thought for a while and said: "This It’s our deputy commander Chen Lin, the sword has no eyes.”
Wang Daokun and Antonio discussed the rules of the competition. It was not so much a competition as it was a small collision for the first time between a land power and a sea power. If you lose the competition, there will be no bad consequences. The competition is a Who is more powerful.
Chen Lin stood up and went to change his armor. His armor was a pair of cloth armor.
And Marcus also put on his own armor, a pair of plate armor with only eyes on the whole body, Greenwich-style armor, the armor of the West in this era, began to pay attention to leaving a buffer between the armor and the body The space is not as personal as the Gothic and Maximilian styles, so it appears even more huge.
The armor shows that it has been treated with brown oxidation, the whole body is baked blue, and the edges are decorated with gold patterns.
" Flashy." Chen Lin looked at the armor and commented that it looks good, but this kind of armor cannot protect against fire blunderbuss.
The rules of the competition are short soldiers, long soldiers, bows, and fire guns.
Chen Lin took out the magic weapon for killing Japanese, the Qi family waist knife. As soon as he took out this five-foot-long waist knife, Marcus said something was wrong. Is this thing a short-range weapon? !
After Chen Lin warmed up, she used a T-shape to fight back at the staggered pillars. Between the lightning and flint, the long and short wooden sticks broke in response.
"This is indeed our short weapon, it looks a bit long." Wang Daokun explained to Antonio.
What Marcus took out was a heavy sword, but after he swung it twice, he knew something was wrong. His armor was too big, and bigness represented bloatedness, and bloated armor was no longer good. Coupled with the inflexible heavy sword, when facing the flexible Chen Lin, he will be hung up and beaten.
Antonio has already realized that this ancient civilization is a land-power country and has already reached the extreme in land warfare. For a sea-power country to compete with a land-power country, it is completely humiliating itself.
This is indeed the case.
Marcus was at a disadvantage from the beginning. Chen Lin was not very anxious. She used Marcus, a bloated man, as a target and fully demonstrated his martial arts skills. When Kusi's heavy sword fell hard, he put the waist knife on Marcus's neck, ending the battle.
After arriving at Changbing, Marcus didn’t know how to win. After being dazzled for a while, his helmet was knocked out.
Chen Lin smiled and put away the long and short soldiers.
The third formation was bows and arrows and fire blunderbuss. Marcus was defeated again. The fire blunderbuss used by Ming Dynasty was a bird blunderbuss. For flying birds in the forest, eighty-nine times out of ten shots would hit. As for the static target, it was even better. Ten hits out of ten.
Chen Lin was Yin Zhengmao’s sharpest spear in fighting the Japanese invaders in Guangdong and Guangxi. Chen Lin was also a young general with high hopes in the Ming Empire. Marcus was just the first mate on an armed merchant ship. Marcus fell. Failure is extremely reasonable.
But Chen Lin’s powerful combat power still left a deep psychological shadow on Antonio and Marcus. Is this still a person?
"You're awesome!" Marcus was defeated in all three battles. Although he was a little unconvinced, he still admitted that Chen Lin was indeed awesome.
Chen Lin showed a smile, of course he knew he was powerful.
At this moment, in the ancestral home of Xu Jie in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, a guest came, the Dashou Shen family. Xu Jie's first wife Shen Zhongheng came from the Dashou Shen family.
Shen Changming, the organizer of Shen Changming's last poetry meeting, came here this time not to discuss countermeasures with Xu Jie. He decided to return the land and change the boat.
Shen Changming and Xu Jie exchanged pleasantries and said: "Old Xu, we are all old, and we must serve our old age."
"This home is moving forward step by step, and there is no chance at all. None. I plan to build a few weaving workshops. My family was originally engaged in this business. Now the imperial court has issued a silk ban, strictly prohibiting the sale of raw silk, but does not prohibit the export of silk to the sea. I think the conditions are already very good. "
“If we continue to resist, I’m afraid Zhang Juzheng will be angry.”
Xu Jie stared angrily and said sternly: “Don’t say that Zhang Juzheng, even ten or eight, can turn this muddy The world becomes bright and clear! I can’t do it, and neither can he!”
“No one can do it!” br>Xu Jie is angry!
It is not just the Shen family that has surrendered now. The powerful gentry who have returned their armor are all waiting and watching. Once the Shibosi is really completed, the return of Nanya to the farmland will not be a matter of the imperial court. Jin Shen was asked to go to Nanya, but Jin Shen rushed to the court to change ships.
Shen Changming looked at Xu Jie and said earnestly: "Old Xu, Zhang Juzheng really can't do it, but together with Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Tan Lun, Wang Guoguang, etc., what can these people do together? ? Can they do it? If they can't, what about His Majesty?"
"Zhang Juzheng is not a person, he is some people, some people who want to do things lifted him up. He is not himself!"
"And Zhang Juzheng's actions have been recognized by the palace, Just like how Yan Song received the support of Shimiao, if Yan Shifan hadn't acted recklessly, would Lao Xu and Taishi Xu really be able to fight against Yan Song? "
"A drop of water fell into the ink? , Naturally, they are complicit, but what if the vast ocean of water is involved in the ink? "
"Old Xu, don't be angry with Zhang Juzheng, and don't be angry with yourself."
Shen Changming knew that Xu Jie was fighting against Zhang Juzheng. He just saw that his students were doing better than him. If he didn't accept this anger, he felt that he could also do well.
Shen Changming stood up, sighed heavily and said: "I heard that Taishi Xu was secretly buying land recently and wanted to invade and annex it. I have heard about it. It is impossible for the Songjiang Prefecture Yamen not to know about it. Wang Daokun didn't Maybe you don’t know, but Zhang Juzheng soon found out. I advise Master Xu to stop.”
In the third year of Wanli (1575), the Spanish Governor of the Philippines, Legas, sent missionaries Rada and Martin to Fuzhou. , found Liu Yaohai, the governor of Fujian: he submitted a letter to the Spanish governor and stated his intention of doing business and missionary work. Yao Hai reports, the next chapter of the court: Although Luzon is not a tribute country, but it can come to the court in admiration, it will be compared to the rules of Siam and Chenla, and it will pay tribute along with it. As for trade and missionary matters, the governor still issued an edict to denounce them. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! !
