"Constraints? It's good to get used to it. ”

After Shi Daxuan adapted to these rules set by Zheng Zhilong, he felt that this was better. At least that of stepping on a foot of and pee when you go out will never happen again.

There was a lot of traffic in the city, and there were fewer disputes and quarrels.

From the initial unaccustomed to the current feeling of being very good, Shi Daxuan saw the strength of the entire Zheng Group.

"What do you mean by that?" He Bin asked.

The strength of the Zheng clan has been laid after Zheng Zhilong completed the separation of military and business, which is the common cognition of He Bin and the Dutch. In He Bin's cognition, this is the power of "order" and the embodiment of "system".

"The rules are implemented from top to bottom, from the military to the people. There are rules in the army, and the people must also have rules in the people. This is unfolding at the same time. ”

If this is the order, this is the power of the system, then the Zheng Group is powerful from the foundation to the branches, and it is the whole!

"You may have a lot of dissatisfaction at first, but in Anping, the meaning of the eldest brother is more useful than the holy decree."

In this world, you can always encounter something that you can't resist, and at that time you can only accept it silently.

For example, there is not a single beggar in Anping City now, and those able-bodied beggars have been sent to the big man to open up the wasteland and farm the land for labor reform, and the little beggars inside have been sent to the boy camp. Some beggars with real disabilities are sent to welfare institutions, and in all fairness, is that bad? Zheng Zhilong has a compassionate heart.

But there must be some people who are unwilling, but they dare not and cannot resist.

There are also those who throw garbage, pee and feces on the street, and even defecate at will, and they must be disgruntled when they are caught.

Not only do you have to hurt money, but you also have to wear a yellow vest with the words "labor reform" to sweep the streets and clean up the garbage in the garbage bins, then you have to meet acquaintances, not to mention how embarrassing it is.

No matter how much dissatisfaction there is, even resentment, under the suppression of absolute power, there is no fart reaction.

Zheng Zhilong never thought that his rule would satisfy everyone, and his change in folk rules seemed to touch the interests of many people, but those people were only hurt by the skin.

Habits become natural, and when a rule is persistently followed, the habit quickly becomes a custom.

"No matter how many rules there are, as long as they are good rules, no one will object. Don't you think the current peace is pretty good? We're all rich people, and it's a big Malaysia Express to get in and out, but if you don't step on the and urine on the street, you can always smell the stench, right? Isn't it good to be like this? ”

"Being able to breathe fresh air all day long and not having to smell the stench anymore is, in the words of my eldest brother, a blessing. It's the same life, it's much better to live in Anping City than to live in Dayuan Town (outside of Gelanza Castle). Don't you think? ”

Shi Daxuan's eyes stared at every change on He Bin's face, he didn't believe that He Bin couldn't hear the meaning of his words.

Of course, He Bin understands that 'smelling the smell' refers not only to the sewage and garbage in Dayuan Town, but also to the smell of the Dutch. So his face changed suddenly, and he grabbed Shi Daxuan's hand, "You have already decided to do it?" ”

He Bin, who has been doing business for the Dutch for many years, knows a lot about the power of the Dutch, which is a powerful force.

"Just those big plywood boats parked outside Anping City? There were hundreds of such ships in the East India Company, and they were only merchant ships, and they also had dozens of professional warships. They are larger, stronger, and more powerful than merchant ships. The strength of the Zheng family's sailors is not to be underestimated, but it is not the best policy to rashly make enemies of the Dutch! ”

"Can the Dutchman quit the general?" Shi Daxuan was a little unimpressed by He Bin's words. The Dutch are very strong, but they also spread out a big spread, aren't they?

This is like the Ming Dynasty with thieves or with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, just talking about national strength, even the current Ming Dynasty can crush them, right? But what about reality?

"Quit?" He Bin immediately screamed as if he had heard a big joke, "Do you know how much profit the Dutch can make from the big guys in a year? ”

"In Daijin, the Dutch were able to import 200,000 deerskins a year to Japan. The amount of sugar produced was sufficient to meet the needs of Japan and Persia. Then there was the trade with the Zheng family, Batavia's spices, pepper, amber, ivory, lead and tin, and the Ming Dynasty's cotton, silk fabrics, ceramics, and ironware. The Dutch had a total of thirty-five trading points in the East, and the profits of the Dutch were the second largest after Japan. According to Paul, the Grand Takers accounted for a quarter of all profits from the Oriental trade. ”

"An average net profit of 400,000 guilders per year."

The guilder is a gold coin, 50 guilders contain one ounce of gold, and 400,000 guilders contain 8,000 ounces of gold and about 248.8 kilograms of pure gold from the perspective of precious metals alone. In terms of purchasing power, in Europe at this time, 192 guilders could buy 2 tons of butter, and 30 guilders could buy a pig.

"If it were you, would you give it up for nothing?"

He Bin looked at Shi Daxuan with a 'you have gone crazy' expression.

"So, Zheng Laosi strongly advocates fighting." Shi Daxuan spread his hands, but He Bin was speechless.

Yes, I just knew that the Dutch would not give in obediently, so I was ready to fight. There's nothing wrong with that.

"The Zheng family is not the fourth Zheng Laosi, it depends on the eldest brother. Is he going to fight too? ”

"Not really." Shi Daxuan replied casually, his demeanor did not seem to be cheating. This made He Bin's mood stabilize a lot.

"That's why we're negotiating. It is to ask if the Dutch are willing to quit the ranks. If they are willing to quit the big deal, the eldest brother is willing to let go of Nanao Island and allow them to set up a merchant hall to trade freely with our Daming maritime merchants. ”

In other words, Zheng Zhilong was willing to give up the meat he had cut from the Dutch after the Battle of Liuluo Bay - the Chinese goods needed by the Dutch for trade with Japan had to be transported to Dayuan by Zheng, and then shipped to Japan by the Dutch for sale.

That's a lot of money.

He Bin's face turned pale when he heard Shi Daxuan speak like this.

Zheng Zhilong was willing to give up such a large profit in exchange for the Dutchman's withdrawal from Dayuan Island, which was a bloody investment. If the matter is successful, it will be fine, and if this matter cannot be done, Zheng Zhilong, the king of the Fujian Sea, can imagine the strength of the backlash.

And to negotiate like this in the first place is not a clear warning to the Dutch. The Dutch would certainly have reported to Batavia, and the latter would have sent reinforcements from the fleet.

Zheng Zhilong is so confident that he can defeat the Dutch in one fell swoop?

Moreover, "What is the purpose of the big brother of the first official, to drive the Dutch out of the big ranks?" ”

This is He Bin's biggest puzzlement.

Judging from the conditions given by Zheng Zhilong, it is not because of trade disputes, nor is it because of interests. What's more, in recent years, the Dutch have not made any provocative moves against Zheng - in the sixth year after the Battle of Liuluo Bay, in the twelfth year of Chongzhen (1639), the Dutch once again sent Lang Bi and Li Ge to lead nine warships to harass the Chinese coast, and defeated the small fleet of the Ming Dynasty sailors several times, but in the end Zheng Zhilong sent people to carry bamboo tubes full of gunpowder to swim in the water and attack, burning five ships in a row, and Lang Bi Li Ge was defeated and returned. Until this time, the Ming-Zheng fleet had seized all of East Asia's naval supremacy, from Japan to the South China Sea.

Now four years have passed, and as far as He Bin knows, Batavia is no longer ready to attack the Zheng Group.

So, what kind of madness did Zheng Zhilong have to completely drive out the Dutch from the major?

"Old Seventeen, at this point, Brother Nine won't hide it from you. There will be drastic changes in the Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty is afraid that it will be over. ”

He Bin's face also changed drastically. He didn't know much about the Central Plains and the North, although he knew about the Liukou and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he never thought that the Ming Dynasty, which was such an unshakable behemoth in his eyes, would be able to do it?

"The Ming Dynasty is not successful in the Central Plains, but there is still a fight in the south of the Yangtze River, is there no Jinling if Yanjing is lost? Crossing the river to the south, there is still room to gallop. It is true that the Tartar thieves are very powerful on the flat land of the Central Plains in the north, but when they go down to the south of the Yangtze River, what do they count on the water? ”

"In the future, there will inevitably be another confrontation between the north and the south."

"In such a troubled world, the eldest brother of an official is a hero in the world, so he naturally has to have a role to do. But how can we do it if the road is unstable? It is necessary to drive out the Dutch from the big man, and take the whole big man as his own, so that he can attack and retreat and defend? ”

Shi Daxuan's words were half-true, but they were enough for him to prevaricate He Bin in front of him.

"Old Seventeen, you are a smart person, and you know that the red-haired ghost is born and you can't trust us Han people. There, no matter how good you mix, you're a minion. Why not abandon the darkness and turn to the light? We are all old brothers and old acquaintances, can you not know the personality of a big brother? As long as you come to vote, you will not be wronged. ”
