This is also a ridge break in disguise! The pricing power of the Qing country's commodities was firmly grasped in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Anyway, except for Daming here, other places can't buy the commercial goods of the Qing Kingdom.

In the past, Siam saw that it was profitable, so it relied on the narrow land passage of the Malay Peninsula to carry out trade transit. Although the Ming Dynasty knew about it, in order to maintain the integrity of the Triple Alliance, it only strengthened maritime anti-smuggling activities in the Gulf of Thailand, Kra Isthmus, and Pattani waters.

Although it effectively cracked down on the clearance trade in the Malay Peninsula, due to the maintenance and support of the Siamese government, it did not fundamentally solve the problem. It was not until Siam clearly fell to Britain that the Ming Dynasty made a strong move with thunderous means. The coastal ports of the Gulf of Thailand, such as Pattani, Songkhla, Nakhon Siemat and Chumphon, were bombarded. Even Phuket, Sand Dun and other places on the coast of the Andaman Sea have also been devastated.

The vigorous clearance trade came to an abrupt end. Now the areas south of Bashu and Coconut City were occupied by the Ming Dynasty. There is no possibility of recovery in the liquidation trade in a short period of time.

However, the Western countries have found a different way, which is really powerful. In the case of the South Sea route, a new route to the Pacific Ocean was opened. Mainly along the west coast of the North American continent, all the way north, through the Alaska Peninsula, the Aleutian Islands, the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Kuril Islands, Ezo and other offshore seas, to the final destination of Japan.

At this time, Japan was under the rule of the shogunate, and it was implementing a policy of seclusion and seclusion. But just like the Qing Dynasty set up the Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou at the same time as the sea ban, it still traded with other countries. Japan also traded with a limited number of countries such as the Netherlands, the Qing Kingdom, Korea, and the Ming Dynasty.

Although there are restrictions when it comes to trading. But anyway, there are still opportunities for trade.

So the Spanish merchants of Mexico were united with the Dutch merchants. It was also during the early years of Spanish rule in the Philippines that there was a relatively familiar Pacific route.

Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty occupied the Hawaiian Islands, the route was moved north, and a new route was successfully established. And borrowed the banner of the Netherlands, and successfully traded with Japan. Then with the help of Japanese merchants, they bought Qing goods.

After all, since the Netherlands was driven out of the South Seas, the Dutch merchant houses stationed in Nagasaki, Japan, have gradually declined. This forced the Netherlands to cooperate with Spain in the development of new routes in the Pacific. In order to avoid being detected by the Ming Dynasty, the merchant ships of the two countries did not dare to enter the East China Sea south of Nagasaki.

Unfortunately, no matter how careful they were, the matter of Dutch merchant ships trading with Nagasaki was detected by the Golden Evil Pirate Corps active in the East China Sea. is also to better fight and rob Japan, so the Golden Pirate Group has planted a lot of eyeliner in Nagasaki.

As a result, the Dutch and Spanish merchants have not yet returned with a full load. was blocked in Nagasaki Port by the menacing Golden Pirate Group. Without further ado, he killed the Western merchants of Nagasaki Port. Dejima, which was leased to the Netherlands, was also burned to the ground by the Golden Pirates.

The Nanyang Fleet of the Ming Dynasty also cruised to Japan in all directions soon after. In the way of bombarding Edo, he warned the Japanese shogunate to go with Western merchants. In addition, a part of the fleet was detached and went to the west coast of the North American continent.

One was to receive the Northwest Territories ceded by the British, and the other was to warn the Spaniards in Mexico about the idea of letting them fight less of the Pacific route!

Otherwise, they will be driven out of the sea to feed the fish.

If Spain wants to compete, Daming is not afraid of it. After all, Spain has not had a few steel giants until now. And with the status of a Mexican colony, it is obvious that it will not be equipped with such high-end goods as steel giants.

So as long as it dares to jump, Daming will use real force to let it roll back to the nest of Europe. Anyway, in the territory of Mexico, Da Ming is also red-eyed. Even if you can't eat it at the moment, it's okay to bite a few pieces of meat.

Therefore, it is conceivable that in the near future, there will only be a five-star red flag floating in the Pacific Ocean.

It's just that there are thousands of precautions, and it is difficult to prevent thieves. For the reason of huge profits, there are many unscrupulous businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, driven by interests, who secretly cross the Indian Ocean from the Sunda Strait, the Savu Sea, the Timor Sea and the waters near the mainland, and trade with Western countries in violation of regulations.

Even the Ming Fleet, the Coast Guard, and the Customs have stepped up inspections in various sea areas and treaty ports in the Indian Ocean and the South Sea. But the coastline of Daming is too long, and there are too many coastal ports. No matter how hard you crack down, you can't stop smuggling.

Therefore, Daming later adopted the form of reporting to encourage people from all walks of life to actively report smuggling activities. There is no distinction between nationality, religion, race or race. As long as the report is true and helps the Ming official, the smuggling case is successfully cracked.

That Daming gave 40 percent of the proceeds of the smuggling of commercial goods to the whistleblower free of charge. Many people of the Ming Dynasty made a fortune with this. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also clearly stipulates that the people of the Ming Dynasty or social figures from other countries who have reported more times and cracked more smuggling activities will be given certain political and political treatment.

For example, new immigrants who have not obtained nationality can obtain Daming nationality without examination with this provision. Any certain number of years of residence and a passing mark of 60 points can be exempted.

Therefore, this regulation is very attractive to immigrants from all countries who are eager to move to the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the treaty ports of Madras, Calcutta, and Mumbai in British India became important trading ports for Ming smuggling merchants.

However, under the enthusiastic report of the local Indians, Daming has been tracking down and liquidating those Daming merchants who illegally smuggled. As a result, many lawbreakers have been duly punished. The Ming merchants who were lucky enough to escape also moved their trading locations to the Arabian Peninsula, the Somali Peninsula in Africa, and the Seychelles Islands, which are far away from India.

Effectively reduce the economic losses of Daming.

However, with the defeat of the British, the vast Indian Ocean route fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. The smuggling ports that were originally located in the Arabian Peninsula and the Somali Peninsula have also been greatly affected. For example, the Ming fleet often disguised itself as pirates, landing in Aden, Yemen, Mogadishu, Somalia and other coastal ports, and wantonly burning, burning, looting, and looting.

There have been more and more smuggling trades here, and the smuggling trade here has gradually declined.

Many Ming merchants had to move their smuggling sites to Cape Town and other places in South Africa. However, due to the increased control of coastal ports and the deepening control of the Indian Ocean, the number of smuggling and the scale of goods of Ming merchants have decreased year by year.

Coupled with the improvement of the Ming reporting system and the aggravation of punishment measures, many Ming businessmen are reluctant to take risks. So this decreasing trend, the further back it goes, the more it declines.
