When Wang Yanran heard this, her face immediately darkened. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info said unhappily: "This Ruan Fudan is not what you want to carry, otherwise how can he get on the boat?" ”。

Since Ruan Fuying's doll kissing, Wang Yanran has been very reluctant to see the family surnamed Ruan. Affected by this, she didn't have a good impression of Ruan Fudan, a kid.

As she spoke, she walked straight to the bow of the boat.

When she saw the scene of the port, she suddenly felt a little dazed. I still remember that before leaving, the ships of Hope Port came and went, and it was extremely busy. In and out of the merchant ship, you have to queue up. And now, the oily green water is smearing with waves, and there is a feeble lapping against the iron stakes by the pier. The ropes used to tie the merchant ships are now empty, leaving plenty of berths. In this way, although she didn't have to wait in line, the deserted scene made it a little difficult for her to adapt.

Zhang Yang walked to Wang Yanran's side and saw the scene of the port. When it came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.

Of course, he knew that the main culprits for all this were Spain and England. Since they intensified their interception of Ming merchant ships at sea, Ming's foreign trade has been greatly affected.

As a result, the current Ming merchant ships only dare to go around in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Even if there is a breakthrough through the Spanish blockade, it will not be able to trade because of the ban on goods in the Qing Dynasty.

Ports like Batavia, Semarang, and Kupang, which they docked at along the way, have all reached the point of being crowded.

This matter also made the top management of Daming worried, and they continued to discuss solutions. It's just that until now, no specific charter has been come up.

In this regard, Nanfeng they had expected it for a long time. Therefore, the Vietnam plan was implemented first and then again, in order to solve the current dilemma. It is estimated that it will not be long before the blockade of Spain will be solved.

But this plan is involved in war, and it will definitely be blocked by the cabinet. How to resolve it depends on the publicity.

In fact, if the time goes back to two years ago, Daming will definitely use the simplest, roughest and most brutal method to beat Spain all over the ground. After all, the Ming Dynasty's maritime fleet is not vegetarian.

But the time is changing! Daming wants to solve internal industrial worries, so in the face of external provocations, it is a little powerless. Britain and Spain also saw this, so they kicked their noses in the face, so unscrupulous, unscrupulous, and fearful to stumble on the Ming envoys.

And this confrontation is not simply a conflict of interests between several countries. It is a dispute between the Eastern countries led by the Ming Dynasty and the Western countries led by the United Kingdom in the South Seas.

Because the South Seas are a crossroads on the sea. East Asia in the north and South Asia in the west. As an emerging sea and land power, the Ming Dynasty represented the eastern camp by region. Its rise is bound to block the eastward expansion of Western countries.

Siam and Burma, on the other hand, were lured and bewitched by the interests of the Ming Dynasty, but they also saw the aggressive eastward expansion of Western countries. Moreover, in terms of religion, culture, region, and race, there are the most essential differences between the two countries and Western countries.

For example, religion is believed in Christianity in Western countries, and Buddhism is believed in Siam and Burma. Both Jesus and Shakyamuni asserted the oneness of God. There is little in common between the two. The Ming Dynasty, on the other hand, was free to believe in religion, but it was not partial to Christianity or Buddhism. On the contrary, because there were many immigrants from Southeast Asia in the Ming Dynasty, the presence of Buddhism was not low.

Let's talk about race. Southeast Asia is all yellow and belongs to the race. Western countries are Caucasian and belong to the Europa race. Although the Ming Dynasty is a country of immigrants, 90 percent of the population is of the yellow race. It is not much different from the national skin color of Siam and Burma.

These factors made Siam and Myanmar more intimate with the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with the benefits promised by the Ming Dynasty, they easily chose the camp of the Ming Dynasty.

Western countries, led by the United Kingdom, are in the stage of great capital expansion. Its profit-seeking nature makes it impossible for it to give up the interests of the South Seas and East Asia.

Therefore, the current South Seas are like savannahs in the dry season. Haygrass is everywhere and precipitation is scarce. A little spark may cause a prairie fire.

If the Ming moved Spain for this, it was likely to pull the invisible ally Britain into the water. Domino effect! Myanmar and Siam will also intervene.

In the end, it turned into a confrontation between two camps!

As long as it is a country in the South Seas, no matter how big or small, it is inevitable that it will be involved. And fight hard, don't die!

If the Ming Dynasty is defeated, not only will Nanyang be lost, but the local area will probably not be protected. Siam and Burma are no longer powerless to stop the eastward expansion of Western countries.

And if Britain loses, it represents the South Seas, and there is no place for it. Spain will also be driven out of the South Seas. Western countries will no longer be able to set foot in East Asia. Even India in South Asia will be in a precarious situation.

There is also a reason why Spain and Britain have been able to put aside their past grievances and come together.

Whether it is Mu Chun, who is anti-war, or Zhang Xiao, who is the main battle, they do not want such a high-intensity war to break out at this stage. After all, wars cost energy and resources. But Da Ming has neither the energy nor the resources.

Therefore, the Ming decided to counter Britain and Spain in the same way. Their merchant ships were not allowed to pass through the Daming Sea.

Although Singapore, which guards the Strait of Malacca, just guards the mouth of the South Seas. But Britain and the Ming Dynasty did not tear their faces in the end, so the Indian fleet often cruised in the Strait of Malacca. With so many pairs of eyes watching, Da Ming didn't dare to be too blatant about targeting the merchant ships of the two countries. Therefore, many acts of robbing ships and hijacking ships can only be carried out in private.

To this end, the Ming Dynasty also asked the Jinsha pirate group to mobilize some pirates to assist in the robbery of merchant ships of the two countries.

And the South China Sea is vast, and the islands are dotted. Merchant ships do not pass through the Strait of Malacca, and the Ming Dynasty has no way. It's just that the distance is farther and the risk is greater.

Such countermeasures have greatly reduced the countermeasure effect of Daming.

This made Zhang Yang about Nanfeng their plan, raising his hands in favor. Since in terms of war, he did not help. The errand of convincing the cabinet must be done well.

Thinking of this, his face showed a rare look of perseverance. Wang Yanran just turned her face away, and asked suspiciously: "Did you come back this time because of Nanfeng's order?" ”。

She is on the Nanyang side and is in charge of local propaganda work. However, I was afraid of my family, so I didn't focus on work. But this does not mean that she knows nothing about the situation in the South Seas.

The contest between Britain and the Ming in the Malay Peninsula, and the conflict between Spain and the Ming in the South Sea. More and more frequent, more and more intense. It's like a powder cartridge that is constantly filled with explosives, and it can't be said when, it will be detonated by a little spark.

As the governor of Nanyang, Nanfeng bore the brunt of the pressure from Britain and the West. From his move to move the Governor's Palace to Johor Bahru, Wang Yanran guessed that it had something to do with the situation in Nanyang.

At this time, Sister Fuliu's letter made Nanfeng keep urging her to go back to help.

At that time, she guessed something, although she promised it in her mouth, but in her heart, she kept going up and down.

Especially when Zhang Yang came back with her on the 'Governor', and was in such a hurry, she noticed something unusual.

Asking such a question now also clarifies the doubts of the past few days.
