974 The sea rises and falls
Judging from the current situation, the unstable factors along the coast of Daming are now only the Dutch in Taiwan. Originally, it also gave them a chance to trade with the Ming Dynasty. But since they are not greedy enough to swallow elephants and deal with the Ming Dynasty together with pirates, it is time to take back Taiwan!
So, Emperor Chongzhen clicked on Sun Chuanting's icon and conveyed the news of the coastal group of thieves going to Nanyang, and asked him to order the two major sailors of the Ming Dynasty to continue to thunder and rain, and use intimidation tactics to scare those pirates to Nanyang as soon as possible. After that, they made every effort to prepare for an attack on Taiwan, and either expelled or annihilated the Hongyi entrenched in Taiwan. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also reminded Sun Chuanting that in the battle of Taiwan, he ordered the Francophone people in Macao to also participate in the battle to offset the advantage of the Hongyi ship's fast artillery. Otherwise, there is no sea in Macau, and it will be easier to clean up the Franc machine.
But even if it's not that, Franc is probably willing to fight. Because the Dutch were also their enemies. Moreover, if the Dutch were exterminated or expelled, the Franc Robot would have a great advantage in trade with the Ming Dynasty. In fact, in the original history, it was also like this. It is also because of this that the Francophone spares no effort to help Daming. Of course, the wages for hiring a Francophone are also prohibitively expensive.
When the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty are straightened out and they stand up again, with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, any sea coachman and any European power will only be trampled under the feet of the Ming Dynasty! There is no narcissism, because it is determined by the strength of the nation and the intelligence of the nation.
"Obey the order!" After reading Emperor Chongzhen's will, Sun Chuanting was overjoyed and hurriedly received the decree.
With the support of the emperor, the current opening of the sea is getting smoother and smoother, and it is now possible to foresee, it is estimated that from next year, the perennial pirates along the coast of the Ming Dynasty will disappear, the scale of the Ming Dynasty's sea trade will become larger and larger, and the emperor's goal of annual income of 10 million sea taxes is likely to be completed in the next few years.
Thinking about the annual sea tax reaching the level of 10 million silver taels, Sun Chuanting knew that his name would definitely go down in history. Because in all dynasties, there has never been a single tax that can achieve such a high income. In this case, what about the things that offended people before? With the support of the emperor and being able to go down in history, there is no doubt about his ascension.
Hong Chengchou is currently the governor, but he is only the governor of Naturalized City, Lu Xiangsheng is just a governor of Denglai at the moment, he wants to be promoted, and Sun Chengzong is sitting there, and he wants Liaodong's Jianyu to be pacified, it's difficult! And himself, it is estimated that within two years, he will definitely be able to succeed He Qiaoyuan and become the governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, surpassing them all at once.
Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting thought about the heroes of cooking wine that day, and his heart became hot, and he felt full of energy. After exiting the chat group, he immediately began to send orders to Zheng Yiguan and Li Zhiqi, asking the two of them to act according to the emperor's will.
One thing, what Sun Chuanting didn't expect was that sometimes, when good luck came, he couldn't stop it, and the things he hoped for came much earlier than he thought!
Besides, Wang Chengen, the governor of Dongchang, after telling Emperor Chongzhen to quit the chat group, he immediately set off and took all his subordinates to Fuzhou Mansion.
Earlier, on a certain street in Fuzhou, there was a person walking sneakily, looking behind him from time to time, as if he was worried about something. When he walked to the door of a mansion, he looked around again, and as if he didn't find anything, he knocked on the door and quickly entered the mansion. What the man didn't know was that in the crack of the door diagonally opposite, someone had been watching this way.
"Where's the master?" The first thing the man did when he entered the house was not to rest, but to immediately ask the porter who opened the door.
The porter did not talk nonsense and immediately replied: "In the study!" The old man had already explained, saying that as soon as you came back, I would go to see him immediately. ”
When the man heard this, he did not stop for the slightest, and went to the study with all his familiarity.
Don't look at this mansion on the street outside, it looks ordinary, but in this mansion, there is a cave. Not only does it cover a large area, there are endless yards, but also rockery pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, and precious tree species, which are estimated to be almost the same as those of the palace.
After walking for a long time, the man finally arrived at the place and signed up.
"Master, everything is going well, Master Liu's decision to go to Nanyang for the time being!" As soon as the man entered the study, he said to the people inside, and then immediately added: "The master is really clever, that Liu Da Boss was originally unwilling to leave, but after hearing that Zheng Yiguan and Li Kuiqi got a strict order to exterminate them, they finally changed their minds." ”
If Wang Chengen was here, he would definitely be able to see that this person was the culprit who had been ordered to leave Beijing this time and had not been allowed to return to Beijing.
I saw that after listening to the advice of his subordinates, this man sighed and said, "I didn't expect the imperial court to attach so much importance to maritime affairs. Li Kuiqi changed his name to Li Zhiqi, and he has been leading the Denglai Water Division, the only complete water division in the northern Ming Dynasty. Now he has left the war in the north and gone directly south to exterminate all pirates. ”
At this time, in the face of the general trend of the imperial court, he had a deep sense of powerlessness. It is true that he prides himself on being clever and eloquent, and he can even move Xiyi to change his position when necessary. But now it seems that these are just small paths, and in the face of absolute strength, if you still want to block it, you can only be crushed.
He thought about it for a while, asked his men a few more questions, and then waved him down. He himself, on the other hand, pondered in his study, contemplating his next move.
There are huge profits at sea, and it is impossible to give it up. But at present, the power of the imperial court sailors is too great, and they can only avoid the edge for the time being. After the rumors passed, the Denglai sailors went back to the north, and at that time, they could first contact Liu Xiang to send some ships back to smuggle. As long as this channel can be available, the profits will still be huge.
Besides, the sea is up and down, and no one can always be lucky. The attack of political opponents, the red eyes of profits, the cold-faced Hades will definitely not be able to stay here for long. and Zheng Yiguan, a martial artist from a pirate, will definitely be cleaned up by civilian officials one day
Thinking of this, he laughed. In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been an evergreen tree in the position of the fat shortage, you guys, let's be arrogant for a while!
However, he never dreamed that two days later, when he was playing in the water pavilion with a group of concubines, there was a faint movement at the door, and then, one of his subordinates hurriedly came to disturb him, and said: "Master, someone has come from the sea, saying that there is something urgent to see!" ”
"What?" The man was stunned for a moment, and then his brow furrowed.
