When Yan Changwu went to the mainland to fight the Tatars, Prime Minister Chen Xinji, who stayed in Southeast Asia, judged that Hongmaofan planned to attack the Southeast Province, so the Southeast Province prepared for war.

Measures such as speeding up the construction of warships and artillery, training troops, strengthening city defenses, and actively collecting intelligence were implemented.

However, the southeast province did not plan to shoot the first shot, but to defend and counterattack.

In other words, Yan Changwu is in Southeast Asia, like a lion guarding the land, the red-haired fan may not dare to come, and even if they have a slight change, Yan Changwu is definitely a preemptive strike, use it if there is an excuse, and create an excuse if there is no excuse, start a war with the red-haired fan, and kill to the Indian Ocean.

At this time, the forces of the East and the West were bounded by the Strait of Malacca and Sumatra, and due to the inconvenience of transportation and information transmission, the southeast province gathered a battleship formation and cruisers, but the Hongmaofan fleet had not arrived for a long time, shouting that the wolf was coming, the wolf was coming, but the wolf did not come, and it gradually slackened.

However, the wolves are ready to come!

The imbalance in trade is the cause of the war waged by the red-haired fan, and more is the coveting of the wealth of the East, as well as the fear of the yellow peril!

After the great geographical discoveries in Europe, the Spaniards ate the dividends of the New World, such as the discovery of two world-class silver mines, as well as the huge profits from selling Chinese silk, porcelain, tea and other commodities (they came to China at the earliest), so that the Spaniards were accustomed to making money lying down.

Silver is falling from the world, it is easy to get, Spain implements expansionary finance, and there is money to spend everywhere, for example, they go to the Japanese country, play internationalism, and help the Japanese people believe in God, anyway, if you believe in me, you will get silver, well, you will be saved, which will lead to the severance of diplomatic relations between the Japanese and Spain.

Other red-haired countries, including Portugal, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and later developed countries such as France and Sweden, did not have such good conditions, and were mercantilism, that is, a country's national strength was based on the way through trade surpluses, through exports greater than imports, and strive to earn wealth.

Earn more money! Keep the silver in the country and strengthen your strength!

However, the Hongmaofan, who were engaged in the trade, found that all the silver was earned by the Chinese, who were aggressive and sold everything from their unique silk, tea, and porcelain to cannons, gunpowder, glass, and clocks, and found that they were in a dilemma where they could only exchange silver for goods.

Previously, the Dutch occupied the Spice Islands and sold spices, which was quite profitable.

But the Chinese occupied all of Southeast Asia and drove the Dutch away, and the Dutch lost this important source of wealth.

Hongmaofan also worked hard, they operated the east-west route, like the hard-working ants and worker bees to change goods from the east to the west, earning a little hard-earned money, even lifeless money--- the sea is unpredictable, often there is no return, and the cargo is lost.

The Chinese have an all-round development of the agricultural and industrial economic system, and they do not look at the goods of Hongmaofan.

In order to balance the trade, Hongmao Fan trafficked Yapian in the name of medicine and Carter grass to China in the name of spices, but unfortunately this was the Ming Dynasty, not the Manchu Dynasty!

Yan often used force to stop this evil trade, and those involved in the trafficking of slices and cart grass were all engaged in digging up the earth.

The red-haired fan skills are poor, and the silver continues to flow to the East and into China, and the psychology is becoming more and more unbalanced!

Hongmaofan, who came to Southeast Asia, saw that he looked like a flower, and the cities of Southeast Asia were full of high-rise buildings, and the people wore silk!

Let the red hair's saliva flow soundly, the city is beautiful, and the Chinese are so rich!

Pigs are fattened, it's time to slaughter!

They also saw the sail warships of Southeast Asia grow from scratch, from small to large, which triggered fear in their hearts.

Since the Chinese can occupy Southeast Asia, they can also rush to the Indian Ocean and occupy India, West Asia and Africa, so that the red hair fan has no place to stand!

They have been developing for less than 30 years, and their strength has expanded to this point, and in time, it will be enough!

It became the consensus of the Hongmao colonists not to allow the Chinese to continue to expand, and they united for the first time in history, determined to work together to destroy their fleet, conquer Southeast Asia, seize the wealth of the Chinese, and ultimately drive the Chinese back to the mainland.

The land is for the Chinese, and the sea is for the Europeans!

The Dutch were the most belligerent, and they succeeded in convincing the British.

Originally, the British had the best relationship with the southeastern province, before the British power did not pass Malacca, and there was not much contradiction with the Chinese, and the British underwrote the Chinese cane sugar to West Asia, and made a lot of gains.

But the Dutch warned them: "The Chinese will attack the Indian Ocean, and West Asia will be theirs, and we will return to our homeland then, and we will not make anything to gain!" ”

After successfully convincing the British, the Portuguese and Spaniards also joined this anti-Chinese alliance!

In fact, the Chinese were not touched by the influence of the Spaniards in Luzon and the Portuguese in Macao, but the Liangya people preferred the Chinese to stay on land and did not like to see Chinese ships in the sea.

So they hit it off and prepared for war against the Chinese in the East.

After the main forces withdrew from Southeast Asia, Hongmaofan focused on running colonies in India and Africa.

The Netherlands has territories such as Dutch India, the Coromandel Coast (part of the Bay of Bengal coast on the Deccan Peninsula in India), Dutch Bengal, Dutch Mozambique, and Dutch Gold Coast.

The British occupied British India, and from 1609 onwards the East India Company established settlers along the coast of India and established trading posts in various parts of Western Asia (which had not been done before)

Portugal owns Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Macau, Malacca, Goa, India and many parts of Africa.

Spain's colonies mainly include Central and South America except Brazil, the Philippines in Asia, and parts of the northwest corner of Africa.

France has also opened up several trading stations in Asia and Africa.

India has the best "qualifications", there is a large area, a large population, and coal and iron, the key is that people are stupid. (You can understand why the Southeast Province issues so many visas to Indians)

The countries of the Red Hair Fan are vying to establish trading posts, strongholds, and even lease large areas in India, with the Netherlands and the United Kingdom holding the largest territory.

There is the Mughal Empire in the north of India, and the princes and princes of the princely states in the south.

They developed trade, built strongholds, and changed from a single mode of operation to a variety of operations, such as planting, mining, and shipbuilding.

Among them, the Dutch and the British were the most enthusiastic, and they built shipyards, ships and cannons

Colombo, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), the territory of the Portuguese, relatively speaking, the Portuguese were relatively moderate, and they didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about the Chinese war, but what they didn't expect was that the heads of the Red Hair Countries in Asia met here.

Anthony van Diemen and Carel Reyniersz of the Netherlands;

Antony arrived in Batavia in 1617 and has been living at sea, trading between East and West, and serving in the Dutch fleet, where he devoted most of his energy to expanding the power of the Dutch East India Company in Southeast Asia, and he even traveled to the continent of Turkey, for which it was a pity that the Dutch were too few to occupy the mainland.

Born in Amsterdam in 1604, Mr. Karl sailed to the Indies in 1627 at the age of 23 and has been running the seas ever since, mastering navigation and artillery warfare.

Lord Peter Wright and Sir Arthur Wynne of England;

Then there are the Spanish José Luis and Juan Carlos;

Mr. Ramos Oliveira and Simão Paulo of Portugal;

Then there were the French Messrs. André and Avgadeldo, who, without much retinue, simply convened a meeting in a small house in the trading post of Colombo, Portugal, to decide on the matter of war with the Chinese.

They all have domestic mandates that allow them to act cheaply.
