At this time, it is time for Hong Tao to come forward, he must control the intensity of the war, and he can't let them fight with their lives, so that it is easy to distinguish the winner and loser. Once there are two families left on the island, it will be easy to reach a peace agreement, which Hong Tao resolutely does not want. So he had to stop the war, let the weak side take a breather, and give another shot of strengthening, and the strong side he had to weaken. For example, stipulating the number of troops stationed on the island by the three parties seems to be impartial, and the three are average, but in fact it is even worse, and if it continues like this, it will not be able to finish the fight in a hundred years.

These three countries have fallen into the pit, and even if they understand, it will be difficult to climb up from the quagmire of war, as long as Jinhewan exists, they will not let any of them have a chance to get out, and they will consume all their national strength and manpower in the quagmire of Jawa Island. What kind of production are you still engaged in, what kind of fleet do you need to transport to Jinhewan, you just need to fight wars, cut down trees, and mine, and no matter how much stuff you have, it is not suitable for you to think.

And now Hong Tao has one more killer feature, which is the banner of Nanyang Manufacturing. In the past, these countries still had illusions, and they always secretly sent ships to pull the envoys of their own countries to the Great Song Dynasty to pay tribute, in a vain attempt to get the Great Song Dynasty to mediate. Now Hong Tao has blocked their road, see it, I am a high-ranking official of the Great Song Dynasty, I am here in Nanyang, I have to call whoever I want, so I call it! As soon as this banner came out, Jinhewan came to enforce the law on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, and this black cauldron was directly deducted from the head of the Great Song Dynasty, and if something happened in the future, he could still pull the Great Song Dynasty to cushion his back together.

The front and back have been calculated, Hong Tao still feels that it is not very safe, and the hearts of the people are separated from the belly. They can't be trusted. What to do? Easy to do. Introduce another stream of scourge. To the north of the Mamluks was the Siamese dynasty. The two families have been fighting for turf in the Malay Peninsula. The Mamluks gained the upper hand with their elite armor and defeated the Siamese one after another. However, there are too few Mamluks, and what can 1,800 people do, so no one can push anyone.

This time, Hong Tao asked Swanta's father to send a small Siamese king from the occupied area to Brunei, and told the envoys of other countries in front of him that there should be no more large-scale infighting, otherwise the Siamese king would take his men to the south, and they also wanted to settle on Java Island. Who behaves badly in the future. Just go down the game and let the substitutes Siamese come up. So what does it mean to perform well? It's very simple, to see who pays more tribute to Jinhewan, hemp products, grain, trees suitable for shipbuilding, oil, tree paint, copper ore, iron ore, gold mines, sugar cane, cotton, etc. So many Javanese slaves, let them plant, mine, and dig! If they don't dig enough, it's up to your own people to replenish it, and whoever is missing will be unlucky anyway.

Colonial economy! This is what Hong Tao defined for the students in the nautical school class, and he clearly told the senior students that the rise of one country must be based on the decline of another country or countries. There are a number of resources in the world, so take an extra bite for yourself. Others have to take one less bite, and if they want to eat more, they have to grab it from other people's mouths. There was nothing else he could do, at least not if he could think of it.

It doesn't matter if you grab it in a gentle way or a rough way, it's all a robbery, and there is no difference in essence. Jinhewan to the Great Song Dynasty, the Kabalan State, the Great Yue State, and the Siam State is a gentle robbery, using the economic model to colonize; For Brunei, Ma Yi, and Sri Buddha, it is a rough colonization and robbery with cannons. For the Java country, it is not colonization, but destruction, and there is no difference between mild and rough.

These colonized countries are like pigs, cows, horses and sheep, they only exist to provide labor, milk, and wool. When they have worked all their lives and no longer have the strength to work, milk, or shear, then kill them and eat meat, without any waste. In the end, they were another clawless country, which was directly destroyed, and then their corpses were used to attract maggots from other countries, and when they grew up, they were colonized by Jinhewan.

"There is no end to this method, and the means are becoming more and more gentle, and in the end it is not easy to see or perceive. Remember, if you become a director or chairman of the board of directors of the company in the future, don't look at the company, although you can make the country rich and strong by pandering to your neighbors and friends, but it is not interesting to do that. Capable people will keep their eyes on others, the world is so big, after colonizing Southeast Asia, there are also Arabia and Europe, these places are enough for you to play for hundreds of years. If that's not enough, take your big ship and go all over the world to find our pigs, cows and sheep wherever there are people. This is what Hong Tao told the trainee officers on board when he returned home from a five-day stay in Brunei Port and a meeting of the economic and trade agreements of the Nanyang countries. These children have just graduated from the nautical school, and after six months of internship on the ship, they will be assigned to various positions. Some would serve as officers on the warships, some would be sent to Kabalan, Malacca, Penang, and Cape Town to serve as the company's security representatives, and some would join the groups of Cixi, Luo Youde, and Xu Liangzhi in various capacities to serve as representatives of the Jinhe Company. What they can achieve in the future Hong Tao can't control, he just wants to teach them one last lesson, tell them what the world will be like in the future, and would rather be a wolf and accidentally injure a sheep than be a sheep and be accidentally injured by others.

The banner of the Nanyang envoy of the Great Song Dynasty was not only used by Hong Tao to deter the southern countries, but it was not Hong to peel the skin, and the bare hair was not enjoyable, and the skin had to be peeled. On the day that Hong Tao's fleet left the port of Brunei, a clipper ship headed in the direction of the port of Malacca, and on it was Hong Tao's messenger, and there was only one instruction on the password document he carried in his purse: On the day of the order, each port will raise the envoy flag and collect security fees from passing ships, one out of twenty!

After five or six years of unremitting efforts, the route from the Southern Song Dynasty to the port of Kabalan has been integrated, and the various countries along the way have also been leveled, and the manpower, material resources, financial resources, and time invested in the early stage will become a steady stream of taxes injected into the Jinhewan system, and then distributed in the later stage. If you draw a line from the sources of these goods, it is a large spider web, which encompasses the entire Southeast Asia, the countries bordering the Indian Ocean, and the farthest point has reached the Arabian Peninsula.

Malacca, Penang, Kabalan, and Brunei Harbour are the little spiders lying on this spider web, and most of the lines converge on them. If you can look at this web completely, you will find that in the far east, in the depths of the South China Sea, there is still a big golden spider, which is Jinhe Bay. The little spiders give all the resources they collect to the big spiders, and then the big spiders convert them into nutrients, providing the little spiders with stronger and stronger growth, and the ability to collect resources is getting stronger and stronger. At the same time, the big spider will also take out some nutrients and import them to the northern continent in various ways to supply the Southern Song Dynasty court and the people to satisfy their hunger, whether they can feed the huge guy I don't know, at least it can make it immortal.

After tossing these important and trivial matters, the Jinhe and Malacca turned around and drove north to the mouth of the Pearl River, while supplying, while waiting for Hong Tao to take the people who went on an expedition to Europe together. Hong Tao did not report truthfully to the board of directors on this voyage, because the danger was too great, if it was six or seven years ago, the board of directors of Jinhe Company might have approved it, but it would never have passed it at present, and even if it passed, it would not have been allowed to lead the team in person.

People say that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, as soon as they put on shoes, they have more worries, and they are afraid that they will finally have a pair of shoes, and what should they do if they get dirty? What should I do if I break it? But they forgot what the purpose of wearing shoes was. Wear shoes to be able to go further! If you put the cart before the horse, then it is better not to wear it. But Hong Tao was not sure that he could convince the old men in the board of directors that their thinking was fixed, and they could only improve it in a short period of time and could not change it.

West Africa, Europe, the Americas, Oceania, this is what Hong Tao must go, what if the board of directors does not approve it? Yin and yang are violated! While his prestige is still enough, he lied to go to Port Cabaran and Cape Town to inspect, and after arriving in Cape Town, he turned around and went north, who can control himself? As for what to do? We'll talk about that then. If the board of directors removes itself as chairman, then it will become a director itself, and it will not even be a director to the end, at least not at present.

As for what to do if you leave your own Jinhewan, you don't have to worry. I haven't stayed much in Jinhewan over the years, and I spend much more time on the ship every year than on land, so Jinhewan hasn't developed very well. This is also the reason why he has been trying to implement the board of directors system from the beginning. Some systems rely on a certain person or a few people, and when they are there, the efficiency is amazing, but without them, they will collapse and even regress. As long as the system is there, whoever is the chairman is almost the same, at most it is the difference between fast development and slow development, but it is difficult to stagnate and regress.

Another problem is the war between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongols, and according to the information sent back by Cixi, the last Mongol army to invade the south has also begun to withdraw from Sichuan in April. Don't look at the combat effectiveness of the Southern Song Dynasty army is not as good as the Mongol army, but if you only defend one point, it is still very tenacious, the Mongol army pays attention to rapid mobility, if you fall into a war of attrition, then they really can't afford to consume, especially in the poor mountains and bad waters at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, supply is a big problem. But they could not quickly break through the defense line set up by the Southern Song army, and with the fleet of ships going up the river, the Southern Song army was transported to Sichuan like infinity. There is no longer any need to fight this kind of war, and the Mongolian top brass is very smart, they don't care about the victory or defeat in reputation, they simply withdraw their troops and talk about it later.
