The Zheng family already has an open vision of the world, but this vision is of course limited to the South Seas, Japan and the Indochina Peninsula.

The reason why they could not go out was that their military and seafaring skills were inferior to those of the Europeans, and there were no more seagoing ships sailing in the ocean, and the individual combat capabilities of the seagoing ships were much lower than those of the Europeans.

Another reason is that in the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong became the uncrowned king, and the sea protection fee was abundant, and the Zheng family enjoyed a tax exemption policy that no one had to carry out maritime trade here.

There is no need to go to farther places to take risks, mainly in farther places, without absolute superiority in troops, they cannot defeat the Europeans, and the risks and benefits are not proportional.

Now Wang Yue has opened a door for Zheng Zhilong, the Europeans have been beaten by the Tiance army and have no power to fight back, the Zheng family has a way to get more advanced weapons and larger sea ships from Wang Yue, and can completely suppress the Europeans.

"Lord Shaobao!" Zheng Zhilong's voice became louder: "What should the last general do?" Please show me. ”

Although Wang Yue gave a few sweet dates, it was still difficult to make up for the fact that the Zheng family's financial income was shrinking.

Participating in the collection of tariffs, it is optimistically estimated that it can reach 30% of the former protection fee, and it is not possible to do 20% of it, and there is only a ten-year period, and the Zheng family will have to reopen up the financial road.

Reselling immigrants, according to adults, 100,000 people have an income of 500,000 taels, you must know that the Zheng family's annual income is 10 million taels.

The expansion of sea trade also depends on the long-term benefits, where is the robbery fast?

Wang Yue spread out the big map, pointed to the Indochina Peninsula and said, "It's relatively close here, Vietnam...... Oh, it's Annam, and now it's the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which is divided into the Li Dynasty in the north and the Mo Dynasty in the south. Both the North and the South of Vietnam had the participation and support of Europeans, with the Dutch in North Vietnam and the Portuguese in South Vietnam. Annan has been in chaos for nearly a hundred years now, has been at war, and its national strength has weakened.

Annan once belonged to our Ming Dynasty and was deeply influenced by our Chinese culture, and there are also a lot of Chinese in China, which is the foundation of the people. Annam has a warm climate, abundant rainfall, abundant products, and fertile land.

If your Zheng family takes Annan, not only will you be able to obtain countless wealth, but also recover my Ming hometown and build immortal feats. ”

Zheng Zhilong said with a difficult face: "Lord Shaobao, the last general knows Annan well, and with the strength of my Zheng family, it may be difficult to take this place." ”

The trade relationship between the Zheng family and Annan is very close, and Zheng Zhilong knows Annan's strength and domestic situation very well.

Annam is not a small country in the Indochina Peninsula, and despite years of war, the population still has seven or eight million. The Zheng family is only a local force of the Ming Dynasty, although the sea is strong, if you want to play an expedition to get Annan, it will be an impossible task.

The point is that there is no weapon generation difference between Zheng Jiajun and Annan's army, and they are both on the same level. Annan has been in war for many years, but the domestic army has been tempered by actual combat.

Wang Yue laughed, his plan was to sell some foreign trade weapons to Zheng Jiajun, if they were enterprising overseas.

"Then look here, Champa." Wang Yue nodded to the surroundings of Ho Chi Minh City in later generations and said: "For more than 1,000 years, the country has been encroached upon and annexed by Annam. The geographical location of the Champa country is superior, the climate is suitable, the rice is abundant, and the resources are abundant, it should not be difficult for your Zheng family to take this place. ”

As a thousand-year-old country, Champa has been suffering from the invasion of its evil neighbor Annam in the north, and the land has been ten or seven or eight, if the history remains unchanged, fifty years later, the Champa country will be destroyed, and it will be annexed by Annam since then.

"Lord Shaobao is right, it is not difficult to take the Zhancheng State with the strength of my Zheng family. However, once my Zheng family sends troops to Champa, Annam in the north and Chenla (Cambodia) in the west will certainly not stand idly by. ”

Of course, Zheng Zhilong understands the situation of this Champa country, and the current Champa country is already fat on the lips of Annam and Chenla (Cambodia), it depends on whose hands are fast and sharp, how can he allow others to get involved.

Once the Zheng family gets involved, the situation will become complicated, and the Zheng family will not be able to play a cross-sea romance of the Three Kingdoms on the Indochina Peninsula.

Wang Yue snorted and said, "General Feihuang doesn't have to consider the interference of Annan and Zhenla. You are the Fujian coastal defense guerrilla general of my Ming Dynasty, if these two countries have the behavior of attacking your Zheng Jiajun, it is an enemy of my Ming Dynasty, and my Tiance Army will definitely not stand idly by.

"In this way, the last general will no longer have to worry about the future." Zheng Zhilong said overjoyed.

Champa is a treasure of feng shui, just a Champa rice can show the fertility of this place, if there is no interference from other forces, the Zheng family to settle a small country like Champong, it is really not difficult.

Wang Yue just wanted to throw Zheng Jiajun into the Indochina Peninsula as a catfish, so that the Indochina Peninsula would be in chaos, and the Tiance Army would have an excuse to send troops at any time.

"Let's take a look here." Wang Yue pointed to the North American continent east of the Pacific Ocean on the map and said, "Does General Feihuang know that this continent is a borderless land.

The level of civilization of the aborigines on this continent is only equivalent to the level before the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in the history of our dynasty, only a small number of advanced tribes can make bronze tools, and most of the tribes are still using stone weapons, while this continent is rich in silver and gold. ”

"Isn't this what the Portuguese and Spaniards call America?" Of course, Zheng Zhilong had heard of the Americas, and the Spanish galleons carried a large amount of silver every year, and he believed that the Americas were rich in gold and silver.

"Yes, this is the Americas, and the Americas are divided into North America and South America." Wang Yue nodded and said, "Most of the Portuguese and Spaniards occupy South America, and here..." ”

Wang Yue nodded to the location of Mexico, and then pointed to the location of the United States and Canada: "There are almost no traces of Europeans in this area, only a small number of Europeans are here in the easternmost part, and the population may be a thousand, and the number of armed men should not exceed a hundred." ”

In 1620, nineteen years earlier, the Mayflower landed near New York with one hundred and two passengers on board, marking the beginning of the British colonization of North America.

"Lord Shaobao, it is difficult for my Zheng family's sea ship to cross this ocean, and there are no charts, so what can I do?" Zheng Zhilong frowned.

Zheng Zhilong, the gold and silver treasure of the Americas, has been admired for a long time, but just thinking about it, navigation technology and shipping routes are insurmountable difficulties, which require generations to explore, with huge investment and slow returns.
