Chapter 663: Very violent

Cinchona bark was the first to be discovered by the Indians in history.

Westerners obtained this information and made cinchona cream and used it widely, but it is not actually Western medicine, but an authentic Chinese herbal medicine.

Without extracting crystals, the direct use of cinchona bark is also as effective as decoction of Chinese herbal medicine, which is very suitable for the Ming Dynasty.

A big meal of wine was drunk freely, a group of people with pursuits, of course, yearning for the outside world, and it didn't take long for everyone to speak freely.

Hearing that overseas species are so magical, Huang Sheng soon did not need to be confused, and a large group of scholars who are interested in scientific research chatted happily, and finally they agreed to go on a journey around the world together.

Huang Sheng left Huang Dongshan to run the "Nanhua Island", and at the end of October, he took his personal army to the north, came to Guangdong, and took Huang Mingli and the two thousand mountain soldiers he trained to Nanjing to marry a wife.

Huang Sheng arranged for the infantry of 18,000 generals and the cavalry used by Li Dagang and Gu Yicang to stay on "Nanhua Island", where too many garrisons were indeed needed.

If there is not enough military deterrence, it is estimated that the country that thinks it has the strength to fight is not only as simple as violently resisting taxes, but also going ashore to grab territory.

Huang Dongshan's task is not only to defend the territory, he also has to be prepared to seize the Malay Peninsula within a year or two, and the operation of pulling the net into the mountainous area of "Nanhua Island" is nearing completion, although there is no guarantee that there are no natives in the mountains at all, and it is not far away!

"Nanhua Island" Hermes-Epitek still encourages them to advocate force, every young man must have combat skills, and there are countless people who have knives and guns, and the possession of firearms is also strongly promoted.

The Han people are so strong, even if the natives come down from the mountains, I am afraid that there is no need for the regular army to go out, and the village warriors trained by Lijia will arrest them all.

When Huang Mingdao went to sea, he took turns to call the "Nanhua Island" garrison to accompany him, so that all the Huang soldiers had the opportunity to go to South America.

The foreign policy of the Huang family is to pull a group of people, and Spain, which is about to decline, is one of the targets of wooing, and the rising upstarts Netherlands and England are designated as targets to restrict development.

Historically, the Xiyi have never been united, with the exception of the stupid Manchu Qing Dynasty. They were constantly attacking each other in Europe, and when they opened up colonies, they fought with each other and fought together.

In the future, Huang Sheng will act as a peacemaker, and when he sees that a certain party may be destroyed, he will set up an "international peacekeeping force" to maintain world peace in a dignified manner, give the party that is about to lose a chance to breathe, and secretly sell them arms.

The purpose is, of course, to make it impossible for the Xiyi to tell the winner for a long time once the war starts.

Because in the absence of external intervention, most wars will come to an end after one side has won, and the sharp contradictions will disappear.

With the intervention of the "international peacekeeping force", the contradictions will always exist and can never be resolved, and the war will always have to be fought.

Huang Sheng will not come openly, he will make a stumbling block in secret, and he must play with differentiation and differentiation.

The countries that obeyed the Ming Dynasty gave their share of trade, which was very friendly, and the countries that were hostile to the Ming Dynasty gave cannonballs, which were very violent.

The big pirate Zheng Yiguan's life began to be sad again, because Huang Sheng protected the right to free trade of merchant ships of other countries after collecting taxes on behalf of the Ming government.

Too many merchant ships of other countries fly the Qinglong Banner that represents the tax paid, which belongs to the protection of the Ming Navy, and Zheng Yiguan, who has long received a special notice from his old acquaintance Guo Huaiyi, certainly does not dare to make a mistake.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer merchant ships that Zheng Yiguan's pirate group can rob.

In order to do a business with no capital, they even had to go to the coastline of the Mughal Empire in the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca, an idea that Guo Huai came up with, of course.

Guo Huaiyi was already a high-ranking official of the Huang family, and he couldn't do anything wrong, he had a bad idea to let Zheng Yiguan go to the Indian Ocean, and also said that if he ran into hard stubble, he could escape to Malacca, and he could also shield them when he encountered the "Huaxia Development" fleet.

The king of Qiongya did not target Zheng Yiguan's pirates, and still sold muskets and artillery to them.

But when passing through the Strait of Malacca, Zheng Yiguan's ships also had to pay taxes.

If you spend money, you will get benefits, and entering the Strait of Malacca is the Ming Sea Frontier, as long as foreign ships do not commit crimes in this area, even if they are Caribbean pirates with conclusive evidence, no one will arrest them here.

The Daming Sea extends all the way to the waters of Malacca, where no warships of other countries dare to harass, and no guns and cannons can be fired in the territorial waters of the Ming Dynasty.

Often when Zheng Yiguan encountered a ruthless character during robbery, he ran to Malacca, not afraid of being eaten by the enemy.

Zheng Yiguan found that it was too risky to sail and rob without renovating and upgrading his warship, so he paid a high price to buy seven of the first batch of battleships eliminated by the Huang family.

Now the dockyard of "Nanhua Island" has also started three, no warships are built here, all ships and passenger ships are produced, and only warships are repaired.

The "Nanhua Island" dock can undertake the maintenance of the warships and merchant ships of the Zheng Yiguan group, and at the same time, due consideration will be given to improving the combat effectiveness and speed of these backward warships and merchant ships, and Zheng Yiguan will pay according to the price.

Zheng Yiguan had the seven battleships eliminated by the Huaxia Navy as the main force, and dozens of warships added a few soft sails, replaced with smoothbore guns with reduced weight, longer range and shock absorption, and the risk of robbery was much smaller.

At least with speed, if you find that the enemy is not easy to provoke, you can run away calmly, but at present, there is no fleet operating in the Indian Ocean that can beat Zheng Yiguan to the point that he needs to run away.

Under the protection of the Huaxia Navy, Zheng Yiguan firmly controlled the coastal areas of the three kingdoms of Afghanistan, and now the only fleet that can successfully complete trade with the Mughal Empire is "Huaxia Development".

With the strength of the Huang family, Zheng Yiguan could be wiped out in a minute, but Huang Sheng did not do this, but raised him to plague the Indian Ocean.

The Huang family navy represents the Ming government, and it is too ugly and indecent to eat at sea, and Zheng Yiguan exists to do dirty work.

At the end of July, Liu Ruozai, who supervised and beheaded Zuo Liangyu, returned to Beijing, and the emperor Longyan Dayue promoted him to the rank of Henan Qing official Shilangzhong of the Zhengwupin Household Department.

Why is the emperor happy, because Liu Ruozai handed over to the emperor 500,000 Huaxia Tongbao silver coins, which was confiscated by Zuo Liangyu's private property under General Li Xihan under the command of the "God of War", and entrusted the minister to hand it over to the public.

There is nothing public or private for the emperor, and there are 500,000 more silver coins in the inner pocket, which naturally makes the poor and frightened Chongzhen very happy, because he didn't expect that the king of Qiongya County would give him so many confiscations, which is an unexpected joy.

This winter, the king of Qiongya County is about to marry the princess in Nanjing, and the Ming Dynasty knows it from top to bottom.
