[ps: The new January has begun, and the poor flying fish can finally start to mix full attendance, I don't know if the new January explosion will have more rewards? For example, a monthly pass? Referral ticket? Tipping? Back to support the genuine? Ay! I guess I'm thinking too much! Woo I'm hungry! I'm hungry!! I'm hungry!! It's better to find a piece of tofu and kill it. 】

Soon, a month passed, and Fan Jinyan also received the information from the system as promised.

System prompt: Unfortunately, your mission has failed.

Task completion rate: 54% cumulative literacy rate.

Quest Punishment: Wipe Out Instantly (Given that you have a No Erasure opportunity, you will be saved from Erasure.) ）

Task Tips: In view of the failure of your mission, the system is about to release a new task, if you fail again, you will be punished twice

New quest hint: Territory doubled.

Duration of the mandate: one year

Although the literacy rate did not reach 60 percent, but there were also 54 percent, Fan Jinyan never thought that the system would judge the task as a failure, he originally thought that such a complex task, even if it failed, should be judged a level of the first point, and give a consolation prize or something.

It is not difficult to double the territory within a year, but it is difficult to be legal and reasonable and will not bring any serious consequences.

You must know that Fan Jinyan's current power is not monolithic, and he does not have enough self-protection ability to protect himself externally, and if he easily sets foot in the Nanyang now, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of all forces and the countries of the Nanyang.

How could the Netherlands and England, which have always been eyeing the South Seas, allow the Ming Dynasty to meddle in the South Seas, even if they are allies, they don't need to talk about it.

This is also the reason why Fan Jinyan has been planning to provoke a war between the two parties and reap the benefits from it.

However, the system seemed to know what was going on in his heart, and turned on the troublemaking mode again.

What Fan Jinyan can do now is to provoke a war between the two countries as soon as possible, prolong the time of the conflict, and try to get more time for himself to prepare.

But is it really that easy?

"The grass people participate in the Hou Ye."

Fan Jinyan smiled faintly, raised his hand to let the brocade-robed man kneeling on the ground get up, and said, "Among the many maritime merchants, you are the one who satisfies Benhou the most. There have been a few trips to and from the Nanyang countries! Are there any difficulties you may encounter? ”

It turned out that the man in the brocade robe under the hall was a maritime merchant from Qiongzhou.

The merchant who came didn't know what Fan Jinyan's intention was in passing him on, and he didn't know what he meant by asking, so he replied with a nervous expression: "It's all the blessing of the Hou Ye, and the grass people have had a smooth journey and have not encountered any difficulties." ”

The change in the merchant's expression naturally did not escape Fan Jinyan's eyes, he understood that the merchant was worried that he would kill the chicken and take the eggs, so he smiled and said: "Take it easy, Benhou is looking for you, it will give you a difficult task." Let's talk about it! If there is any difficulty, Benhou will make the decision for you. ”

The merchant hesitated for a while, squeezing out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Master Hou, if you have anything, just say it!" Villain"

Fan Jinyan shook his head and smiled, and said seriously: "Did you sell some of your daily chemical products to the British East India Company?" ”

The merchant was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, didn't you tell us to secretly sell some of it to them? Then he nodded, "Yes, according to Master Hou's orders, the villain and other maritime merchants have secretly sold a large number of daily chemical commodities to them. ”

"The Dutch know?" Fan Jinyan asked.

Hearing this, the merchant hurriedly shook his head, "Don't worry, Hou Ye, the big thing that Hou Ye explained, how dare the villain take it lightly, we have been trading near Manthorn Plus, and the Dutch can't find out." ”

Fan Jinyan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, the task that Ben Hou gives you now is to use a trick to let the Dutch know, the sooner the better." ”

"Master Hou, the Dutch should already know by now!" The merchant said puzzled.

Of course, Fan Jinyan knew what the merchants meant, and when he arrived in the West, the Dutch naturally knew about it. But the problem is that even if the Netherlands, which is far away in Europe, knows about it, it will be a few months before it reaches Nanyang, and when the two countries turn around and go to war, there will be only a few days of work in a year, which is completely not in the interests of Fan Jinyan.

Therefore, Fan Jinyan wanted to let the Dutch know as much as possible, and provoke the two countries to go to war.

Although the businessman had doubts about Fan Jinyan's order, he would not hesitate to carry it out.

In the end, Fan Jinyan still asked about some things about the Nanyang trade, but undoubtedly found a reason for him to send troops.

A month ago, the ports of Champa in Annam and Jakarta in Java began denying entry to Qiongzhou merchants on the grounds that the Dutch East India Company would provide its own local daily chemical trade. The merchants of Qiongzhou also knew about the trade relationship between the Dutch East India Company and Fan Jinyan, so they didn't think much about it, so they stopped trading between the two places.

But Fan Jinyan didn't think so, when he signed a trade agreement with the Dutch, it was already clear that the Dutch had no sales rights in Nanyang, even on their own territory. It is clear that the Dutch, believing that they had monopolized the agency of the whole West, were convinced, and so soon began to prevent the merchants from trading legally. If Fan Jinyan had been kept in the dark, it would not be long before the Dutch would have devoured the entire Nanyang trade and forced the Qiongzhou maritime merchants to sell their goods to them.

Fan Jinyan couldn't find a reason to go to war, but he didn't expect the greedy Dutch to send him one, Java, he didn't dare to fight in Zhancheng, but Annan could fight! Because Champa is still nominally the land of the Kingdom of Annam, you King Annam dare to refuse the legal trade of **** maritime merchants, isn't it looking for a draw? Don't hit who you hit.

If King Annan knew that he had been charged with disrespecting **** for some reason, I don't know if he would cry a lot, and he ran to Nanjing to find Chongzhen to cry and cry and shout injustice?

As Fan Jinyan expected, less than a month later, the Dutch came to the door and said that Fan Jinyan had violated the trade agreement signed by the two sides.

Fan Jinyan, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally pushed the matter of how the British could have daily chemical goods on the businessmen, the reason was very simple, the British were willing to buy at a high price, and the merchants were willing to sell, so he couldn't stump people and not make money!

Of course, Fan Jinyan finally generously handed over a European exclusive agency authorization to the Dutch East India Company, asking them to go to the British themselves.

What is the relationship between the Netherlands and the UK? It's strange to be able to talk about it.

Of course, just in case, Fan Jinyan also arranged for a squadron of the Navy to be equipped in the shape of a British warship, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack a Dutch merchant ship near the Indian Ocean, so as to stimulate the bottom line of the two countries.

All that remains to do now is to wait, to wait for the good news of the war between the two countries.
