Where to go?

Naturally, I went to Southeast Asia, where the seasons are like summer.

That land of honey and fruit is the promised land of the Ming Dynasty!

What does this "Promised Land" look like now?

In addition to the so-called kings, where they fought each other in the "Great War of Nations", the Vietnamese played the "War of the Four Kingdoms", Burma and Thailand continued to attack each other, and the Khmer was the target of group beatings. And a large part of the Mekong River Basin, which became famous as the granary of the world, is "terra nullius".

If millions of people who migrated from the sea and reclaimed the lower reaches of the Mekong River Basin, they would inevitably have millions of acres of paddy fields, and it was a paddy field with three crops and abundant water sources in all seasons, and based on the annual export volume of millions of tons of rice at the end of the 19th century, it would be 10 million or 20 million stone of rice! Every year, these 20 million stones are transported by sea back to Fujian and other places where there is an extreme shortage of food, and at least hundreds of 10,000 more people can be fed!

There is also the Khmer, that is, the Cambodia of later generations, plus Thailand, Java and Myanmar and other places, there is no problem at all in transporting tens of millions of tons of grain back to Daming every year, of course, more importantly, tens of millions of people will move to Southeast Asia, will Southeast Asia be Southeast Asia at that time?

No!

They will be the "overseas granary" of the Ming Dynasty!

It is the "overseas Jiangnan" of the Ming Dynasty!

It is the promised land of the Ming Dynasty!

Even so, Zhu Guoqiang has not counted that there is an Australian continent thousands of miles away, and no one wants it!

Even India, for the time being, has not been circled, Chunshi Zhu Dashizi really wants to circle these places that should be circled, and then build an "Earth Co-prosperity Village" or something.

But to run so far, with the current Ming navigation technology is not enough. Therefore, the rice should be eaten in one bite, and the ground should be circled in pieces.

If the steps are bigger, they will be light, and the same is true if there are more circles.

He didn't even want to tear his face with Zheng Zhilong now, let alone the Dutch.

But the problem is that now Sun Hejing has torn his face.

What to do?

In fact, Zhu Guoqiang was not afraid of the Dutch, it was nothing more than a war. But the problem is that the Dutch hold grudges! After the Dutch were driven out of Taiwan in history, they immediately turned their faces and colluded with the Manchus, and even took the initiative to send a fleet to assist the Manchus to attack Zheng Chenggong, and attacked the merchant ships of Ming Zheng in Southeast Asia.

Because of this, you have to let the Dutch know how powerful Da Ming is!

Knowing that the current Ming Dynasty can take the Dutch stronghold in Taiwan and Batavia at any time as long as he is willing, and the Ming Dynasty also has a strong enough naval fleet to protect himself from enemy attacks from the sea, if you dare to attack me, I will dare to destroy your whole family.

Well!

That's it!

Only in this way will it be possible to reach an equal and mutually beneficial trade and diplomatic agreement between the Ming and the Netherlands. Of course, this is only temporary.

However, this required an understanding Dutch to act as a messenger.

"If you talk about it, if you say that the chicken and dog will not stay, you must leave the chicken and dog without it...... Sun Hejing, Sun Hejing, you kid is a good talker, but you have to leave a few dogs for use! ”

In fact, Sun Hejing also left some dogs, such as those Wa Ronin, who have now become mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty, but those Wa Ronin are biting dogs, and what does Zhu Guo need now?

Be...... Yes, fortunately, there are still some women, and a widow of a former governor of Taiwan, and she is also a nobleman.

yes, that's her!

"Lord Shizi, she is a widow!"

Facing the orders of the prince and thinking about his hobbies, Ge Shizhen made a straight face and said after a while.

"Widow? What's wrong? ”

"The widow is ominous! Please also ask the prince to avoid it! ”

Widow ominous!

This sounded a little familiar, and suddenly, Zhu Guoqiang laughed and laughed.

"Look, I don't want to see her, I don't want to sleep with her, but I want to talk to her about business."

Talking about business?

Ge Shizhen was puzzled.

"She's a woman's family, what business is there to talk about?"

"Big business, of course!"

Zhu Guoqiang laughed.

A moment later, when Adriana Quina came in, Zhu Guoqiang was dumbfounded.

"Monica ......"

Looking at this woman dressed in 17th-century European costumes, he immediately thought of the "Beautiful Legend of Sicily", in which she was the protagonist's enlightenment teacher and his enlightenment teacher.

It's just that the woman in front of her is younger, but her movements are still extremely sultry.

"My daughter didn't feel well, so she didn't come over, please forgive me, Your Royal Highness."

As she bowed, Adriana looked up at the prince of Ming, surprisingly young and handsome, his gaze fixed on her.

Facing those breathtaking eyes and curvy figure, Zhu Guoqiang only felt that every inch of her was written with the words "I am a woman".

She's a widow!

She's already a widow, and I can't let her stay a widow!

Belch...... Calm down and don't rush.

In an instant, Zhu Guoqiang returned to normal, looking at Monica, no, it was Adriana, he smiled.

"Do you speak Chinese?"

Although Adriana's Chinese is not standard and has a Hokkien accent, Zhu Guoqiang can still understand it, which omits translation.

"Your Royal Highness, I came to Asia with my sister in 1624, and when I arrived in Batavia, my tutor, there was a Ming countryman."

Adriana replied in stiff Chinese.

"Your Royal Highness, if you release me, I believe that my brother-in-law, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, General Hans Putmans, will be willing to pay the ransom."

She is not only the wife of the previous governor of Taiwan, but also the sister-in-law of the fourth governor of Taiwan, Hans Putmans, so as soon as she saw this prince, she offered to pay the ransom.

"Oh? Is it? ”

Glancing at the woman in front of her, her brother-in-law was the commander-in-chief of the Dutch fleet?

I really caught a big guy. Then she should know the situation inside the Netherlands very well.

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"So how much ransom are you willing to pay for you and your daughter?"

Did he agree to pay the ransom?

As soon as Adriana heard this, she immediately thought in her heart, of course her brother-in-law could not pay for her, but she had money, she had inheritance from her father in Amsterdam, and inheritance from her husband in Batavia, that is, in ...... There are no more big guys.

A thousand guilders?

Obviously it can't be, he's a prince, and he definitely doesn't care about such a little money.

That's five thousand!

Will it be a little less?

After thinking for a moment, Adriana said.

"Ten thousand guilders, I think this is a very generous ransom."

"10,000 guilders, ah......"

How much is it worth? Zhu Guoqiang didn't care at all. He smiled and extended an invitation to Adriana.

"Miss Adriana, come over here."

At the invitation of His Royal Highness the Prince, Adriana stood in front of a curtain covered with a curtain, and just when she was a little confused, the curtain was pulled down by the Prince.

"Look at how much it's worth!"

The moment the curtain fell, Adriana was dumbfounded, she touched her face in surprise and looked at the mirror in front of her.

How big is this mirror?

Even taller and bigger than her!

You can't find a mirror this big in the whole of Europe!

Adriana subconsciously thought that even the queen of Spain did not have such a large mirror, such a mirror was simply priceless.

O my God!

And it also seems clearer, even clearer than the glass mirror of the Venetians!

"Oh God, this, what a miracle!"

When he watched her stroke her hair at herself in the mirror, Zhu Guoqiang's heart was also moved, but he just looked at this woman immersed in the mirror with a smile, watched her admire her figure in the mirror, and watched her turn around and look at herself.

For women in this era, they certainly haven't seen whether the dress on their body is decent from the dressing mirror, let alone appreciate their own figure, but now she can clearly see herself through the mirror.

Looking at the woman immersed in the mirror, Zhu Guoqiang asked in a seductive tone.

"Tell me, what are you willing to give for it?"
