The history of the New Ming Dynasty has a very high evaluation of the "Treaty of Eastern Tibet", calling it the greatest victory in diplomatic history since the Ming Dynasty. If the hapless Cohen knew that because of the signing of this "Treaty of Eastern Tibet", he actually became a later "historical celebrity", and was called a historical sinner who opened Pandora's box by Western historians, he would definitely not have signed it, and the "Treaty of Eastern Tibet" completely changed the historical trend of the Age of Discovery and the future world pattern, so that the Ming Dynasty, who had fallen behind, re-squeezed into the last ship of the Age of Discovery!

Even Guo Zhiyuan didn't think that far ahead at that time, he just felt that since China was forced by the Western powers to sign so many "unequal treaties" that humiliated the country in the original historical time and space, then as a time-traveler, why couldn't he sign an "unequal treaty" that was beneficial to China? It's like playing Go, you and your opponent are fighting desperately in the middle game, but you can't change the game you want to lose, it is just a piece of idle that you inadvertently put under the corner of the chessboard, and finally become the winner and loser who changes the outcome of the chess game.

After the signing of the "Treaty of Eastern Tibet", the Portuguese and Spaniards, who have been paying close attention to the changes in the situation along the coast of China, were taken aback, you must know that now the strength of the Netherlands has surpassed that of Spain and Portugal, the two former maritime hegemons, and their territory in Java (Indonesia) was basically snatched away by the Dutch, and now the backward Ming Dynasty has defeated the Netherlands, the new maritime hegemon of the West, which makes them have to re-examine the maritime strength of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time have to suppress their ambitions to get involved in the coast of China!

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan did not forget these two Western maritime powers who also coveted the coast of China, and he took the opportunity of a great victory over the Dutch fleet, and after informing the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Sea Road, he took five Qianshi-class warships to Macao to negotiate with the Portuguese who leased Macao, asking them to sign a new trade agreement, of course the Portuguese were unwilling, and seeing that Guo Zhiyuan did not bring many warships, he launched a night attack, wanting to catch Guo Zhiyuan off guard.

He didn't want to play into Guo Zhiyuan's arms, he just wanted to force the Portuguese to do it first, so he deliberately only brought five Qianshi-class battleships over, but secretly let Shen Yourong take twenty Qianshi-class battleships and ten tortoiseshell ships to ambush in the nearby waters. ）

For the Spaniard Guo Zhiyuan is not good to use force, because Felisa has replaced her father Aculia as the new Spanish governor in Luzon, so Guo Zhiyuan sent a letter to Felisa, painfully stated the interests and disadvantages, and analyzed the current situation in Spain to Felisa, Felisa became the first female governor in Spanish history will inevitably arouse jealousy, if she does not want to be ousted from power, she should focus on managing the power in Spain, if she does not want to meet with him, she should sign a new trade agreement with himHe would ensure that Spain would receive a steady stream of profits and supply from the trade between the two sides, freeing her up to run her presence in Spain.

Felisa finally adopted Guo Zhiyuan's suggestion, her ambition made her unwilling to be just a female governor stationed overseas, and at the same time, she was also aroused by Guo Zhiyuan's fierce and aggressive heart, she wanted to become the queen of Spain, and then take the powerful Spanish Armada to conquer this man she couldn't get!

Guo Zhiyuan, of course, did not know that Felisha still had such thoughts, after dealing with these three western maritime powers, he began to rectify the order of maritime trade along the southern coast, on the one hand, he sent the Dongfan Navy to sweep away the pirates and pirates entrenched along the coast, and on the other hand, formulated new maritime trade regulations, requiring all maritime merchants engaged in maritime trade business to obtain a trade license to patrol the sea lane before engaging in maritime trade, prohibiting smuggling and private transactions, and the transaction price must comply with the price guidance price of foreign trade goods regularly announced by the Municipal Shipping Division, and must not disturb the price market, once discovered, not only will their trade license be revoked, but also a hefty fine!

Guo Zhiyuan also demanded that all merchant ships going to sea for trade and foreign merchant ships coming to China's coastal areas must fly the "order flag" issued by the patrol sea channel to facilitate management and investigation, and at the same time, it also provides protection for the legitimate merchant ships that fly the "order flag" issued by the patrol sea lane, and any attack on the legal merchant ships that fly the "order flag" issued by the patrol sea channel will be regarded as a declaration of war against the Dongbo Navy and will be severely cracked down by the Dongbo Navy!

At the same time, Guo Zhiyuan also encouraged maritime merchants to jointly open up new trade routes independently, and open up new trade routes can not only get tax incentives, but also bring back new species or new processes that are not available in the Ming Dynasty, and also get heavy rewards!

In addition, Guo Zhiyuan also announced the opening of Fuzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou, Putian and Ningde as five free trade ports, and demarcated a free trade zone, which will be managed by the Municipal Department of Shipping and enjoy tax incentives and policy support.

Under Guo Zhiyuan's series of measures, the maritime trade industry along the coast of Fujian has been unprecedentedly prosperous, the maritime trade order has been unprecedentedly stable, and the scale of maritime trade has expanded tenfold in less than a year! The trade area is wide and covers Da Ni, Huni, Champong, Luzon, Yonggang, Beigang, Dayuan, Hirado, Nagasaki, Mumbai, Banten, Old Port, Batavia, Malacca, Cambodia, Siam and other places.

The unprecedented prosperity of the maritime trade industry has also greatly driven the economic development of the coastal areas of Fujian and even the entire southern coastal area, the living standards of the people have been significantly improved, and the tax revenue of the government has also been greatly increased. It is precisely because of such prestige that Guo Zhiyuan's series of measures have been successfully implemented!

The higher Guo Zhiyuan's prestige, the more people who hate him, and there are more twists and turns in the court to impeach Guo Zhiyuan, among which there are indispensable people who say that Guo Zhiyuan uses the power of the deputy envoy of the sea channel to fill his own pockets, "The sea ship is not allowed Guo Zhiyuan to order the flag, and he cannot come and go." With an annual income of 3,000 gold and an annual income of 10 million, Guo Zhiyuan used this to enrich his private pockets and become rich enough to rival the country! There are even more heart-wrenching, "The people of Southern Fujian only know that there is Guo Zhiyuan, but they don't know that there is a court, and in the long run, it will become a catastrophe!" ”
