These overseas businessmen have to hold a knife on their heads

These people don't have a sense of the state.

For merchants, as long as they can make money, there is nothing that cannot be sold, the Jin merchants in the north are like this, and the Fujian merchants in the south are the same, the first time the Dutch invaded Penghu was the Buddha mud or the Fujian merchant Li Jin in the northern year. He and a few other Zhangzhou merchants were engaged in business in Pattani, and in fact they were like Li Dan, who were also merchants and thieves, and they wanted to expand their business, while the Dutch wanted to get a trading base like the Portuguese.

Then the two sides hit it off.

They led the Dutch to take advantage of the absence of the Ming army to quickly invade and occupy Penghu.

Then they went to fool the magistrates of Fujian, who accepted the residence of the Dutch in Penghu and carried out legal trade, just like the officials in Guangdong who had been bribed by the Portuguese to accept their residence.

But they failed.

They chose bad timing.

The Portuguese succeeded because the officials controlled the coast at that time, and they were happy to use this way to make money by having an additional trading port, but when the Dutch arrived, the Fujian customs had already been controlled by Wanli's tax control system, and if the Dutch were allowed to switch to legal trade, the benefits would fall into the hands of the tax inspectors, so the local officials sternly refused

Wanli can't be allowed to make money.

The trade of the Dutch was illegal, so it was still smuggled at sea, and the officials colluded with the gentry to make money.

The Dutch traded legally

It can also be fished, but legal trade is not as easy as illegal trade to make money, and extorting legal businessmen has to take into account many things, such as face or something, but blackmailing smugglers does not need to care about face.

Officials are well aware of this.

So they forcibly evicted.

But no matter what the real inside story of this matter is, it is a fact that the Fujian merchants of Pattani acted as the leading party for the Dutch, and these businessmen will not hesitate at all when they need to betray the country, and there is nothing wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang despising them at this point.

Capitalists know no borders.

Therefore, if Yang Xin wants to control maritime trade, he must first put a knife on the heads of these people, don't think that the country supports the merchants, and the merchants are grateful that Dade is loyal to the country, and they will not hesitate when they need to betray the country. But fortunately, they are also smart people, sensible, and know that when faced with irresistible forces, they usually make wise choices, so they just need to let them see their irresistible powers.

They'll be sensible.

The expeditionary fleet set sail in this way, and by this time it was already late autumn, and the wind direction had begun to change, and they would ride the north wind south to Taiwan.

At this time, Taiwan has become the Taiwan Xuanfu Department of the Ming Dynasty, but the Xuanfu envoy is the king of Zhennan himself, and theoretically belongs to the Fujian Metropolitan Command and Envoy Division

Of course, this is just talk.

How dare the Fujian palm seal capital manage the king of Zhennan.

Taiwan's Xuanfu Division has jurisdiction over Taiwan, Tamsui, and Keelung, all of which pay taxes, but the Xuanfu Division is a general payment by Xuanfu Envoy.

The latter one was originally a chicken coop, but the king of Zhennan was changed to Keelung, and the Taiwan governor's lawsuit was headed by Li Guozhu, and the remaining two were from the Yang family. Basically, the Yang family developed Taipei, and the Li family developed Tainan, but because of the whaling industry over the years, the Yang family also has a stronghold in Tainan. The Yang family was mainly composed of the Guizhou people of that year, plus the reclamation team recruited from all over the country, plus some family members, in short, the population was almost 70,000. They have reclaimed more than 500,000 acres of land in the Tamsui area, and in addition to eating and supplying the guano coolies of the Diaoyu Islands, they also shipped them to the north for sale.

Then there is the commercial supply in the Keelung area.

It was not only the Yang fleet's own supply depot, but also the supply depot for all those who took the Kuroshio route, even including the Spanish merchant ships.

All this line goes there.

Over the years, the Li family has also recruited almost 30,000 immigrants from Fujian, cultivating more than 200,000 acres of wasteland, but they not only grow rice, but also sugar cane, which they then make sugar and sell to the Dutch, and then a large number of deer and sell deer skins to the Wa Kingdom

Yang Shinya.

It's just that his deerskin is used to wrap bullets in elite soldiers.

In short, the current Taiwan, after nearly five years of development, has quickly become a prosperous paradise, after all, it is really good there, except for more epidemics, there is almost nothing that people don't like. Whether it is the Yang family or the Li family, the most fertile land on the plain is cultivated, and it can be irrigated by water diversion, and the yield per mu is easily more than five stones after the use of guano, and it is not rare to have more than seven stones, and these lands are double-cropping rice.

Ten stone of rice a year!

Whether it is the mountain people of Guizhou or the poor people of Fujian, they are all living like a spring breeze.

As for the relationship between the parties

In fact, the two sides are not close to each other at all, and there is still a large area of land in the middle, and it is estimated that they will not be developed together within 30 years.

However, Yang Xin had also taken precautions, and he gave Li Guozhu a task to exchange a thousand women every year.

That is, his people must marry 1,000 women to the Li family's reclamation area, and the Li family's reclamation area must also marry 1,000 women to his reclamation area. This is a task that must be completed, no matter what means, whether it is coaxed or coerced, even if it costs a huge dowry, in short, it must be completed by intermarrying a thousand families every year. There are additional rewards for those who marry each other, such as rewarding cattle and horses, but if they fail to complete the task, then the local officials are unlucky.

That's basically enough.

It will not take long for the population of these two reclamation areas to complete the integration.

As for the distance, it is inconvenient

That's not what King Zhennan needs to care about.

Of course, while these immigrants are happy, the cries of others have nothing to do with King Zhennan.

The expeditionary fleet would eventually set sail from the port of Taiwan, which was originally known as Chikanlou, and then sail to Luzon in about five or six days to begin its assault on Manila. At present, the Spaniards may or may not know, in short, it depends on the festival of the Portuguese in Macau, if they report to the Spaniards, the latter will know the news. If, on the contrary, they were happy to watch their king's army being beaten, the Spaniards did not know, but most likely it should be the latter, after all, the Portuguese did not like their king with a long jaw either.

This kind of thing is left to the subordinates, a group of old pirates who have been at sea for half their lives, plus a group of elite soldiers armed to the teeth, they will solve such a small matter.

King Zhennan has his own job.

He's also a great deal of opportunity.

The expeditionary fleet in the south set out to begin the first gunboat diplomacy of the Ming Dynasty, and war awaited him in the north.

"Wa people!"

Yang Xin said with a deep groan.

Qi Jin in front of him waited silently.

Qi Jin is old, it is said that he is already in his seventies, and he has been obscure in North Korea for five years as if he has been forgotten, and it is indeed time to retire at this time, and he will be replaced by his original deputy general Qin Minping.

The latter led a 15,000 Ming army composed of the former Zhejiang, Shizhu and Youyang Tusi joint forces, a marine corps, and a battalion of sailors, and continued to defend the Naju area to protect the Ming Dynasty King Li Liang

Although the latter is left with a small piece of territory the size of the palm, and the largest territory, Jeju Island, has actually been given to Yang Shin, he is still the king of Joseon in the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the legitimacy of the Joseon Kingdom. After all these years, Koreans continued to flee to the past, and Yang Xin continued to stuff those immigrants there to engage in business, and the population of the entire territory has reached 300,000. And the economy is prosperous, whether it is agriculture or fishery, and even commerce is prosperous, after all, it is also a major smuggling transit station, and the Yang family is also there to engage in large-scale whaling and aquatic product processing, so it can be said that a little leakage in the fingers is enough for Li Liang and his people to eat.

In a sense, Li Liang has become a vassal of King Zhennan, and the Apocalypse will not give him any support anyway.

There was a coastal military moderation under the governor.

Therefore, no matter what the officials and soldiers of North Korea or the king of North Korea lacked, they all asked Yang Xin directly, and the court would not give them a tael of silver, and the king of Joseon, who was full of gratitude for this, sent a lot of beauties over the years to enrich the obviously empty back house of King Zhennam

This heart is still received by the king of Zhennan.

"The Japanese people are too bold!"

Zhennan Wang said righteously.

"The king, as far as the old man knows, the Wa Kingdom has also suffered disasters everywhere over the years, and since they don't fight, the population has grown rapidly, and there are already few people who can't accommodate it.

Jiannu likes it too.

These Japanese people can't fight, but they are good at farming, and as customers, if they want to gain a foothold in Korea, they can only listen to Jiannu, they can increase food production for Jiannu reclamation, and at this time there are already Japanese people cultivating and farming on those wastelands in the whole state.

Although the Eight Banners Korea was dissatisfied, there were too many wastelands in Korea, and there was no conflict with them in the reclamation of the Japanese people, and the construction of slaves was allowed, so they naturally had no way to oppose it. And they do need these people to reclaim the land and farm, and even some of the Eight Banners have begun to buy Japanese slaves through the Japanese generals, if we continue to sit back and watch like this, I am afraid that the number of Japanese in North Korea will increase.

At that time, it will be even more troublesome to recover. ”

Qi Jin said.

It is clear that Huang Taiji has learned the methods of the British,

Introducing aliens in the colony.

Then use the alien race to help him rule the natives.

This person is still very smart, anyway, North Korea was not his originally, those Eight Banners North Korea can indeed fight with him in a bloody battle to the end when facing his eldest brother, but when the Ming army counterattacks, I am afraid that anyone will surrender faster.

It's a given.

Now Eight Banners North Korea is hooking up with Li Liang.

But the Japanese will not.

If they surrendered, they would be driven home, or even sold into slavery, and as a group of alien immigrants from the magpie's nest, they would inevitably be expelled by their original owners, and then they would have nothing left, and it would be difficult for them to even return to the country. So they will fight side by side with Jiannu to the end, just like the loyal dogs who cried and shouted not to let them go after the British abandoned Southeast Asia in history. I want to talk about "Five Good Youths of the Ming Dynasty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
