Chapter 179: Master
"Your Highness's clever plan, in the future, the Ruan family and the Zheng family will fight well, they will kill a river of blood in the north, and we will take the opportunity to stabilize the territory in the south!"
After the envoy of Annan was taken down with a happy face, Chen Dading couldn't help but smile and said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hmph, remember it in the future, non-my race, its heart will be different, we Daming suffered too much of this kind of loss, if it wasn't for the tiger for trouble, how could there be a national disaster in Jiashen, this lesson must be remembered, for foreigners, we must let them mess up, let them kill each other, give them their favorite cakes, give them knives, let them bleed each other, only dead foreigners are good foreigners. Next, you have to take over the Champa hometown, there must be enmity between the Champa and the Annamite people, provoke their hatred, let them fight, have you seen the crickets? When they stop, you can play with them and let them continue fighting. Let our own women work hard to give birth, and when you go back, this king will build a few hospitals for you, and try to reduce the mortality rate of children, in short, no matter what method you use, after 20 years, your father and son must make the other clansmen in Zhancheng Road less than our Han people! ”
Yang Feng said.
"Your Honor!"
Chen Dading hurriedly knelt down and said.
Since Yang Feng said so, it means that the position of this envoy to occupy the city belongs to their Chen family, similar to the Mujiayong Town in Yunnan back then.
"Is there anyone else in the Mo family?"
Yang Feng suddenly asked.
"Yes, after Gaoping was annexed by the Zheng family, some of the descendants of the Mo family stayed in Guangxi, and some were under the rule of the Zheng family."
Chen Dading said.
"Find them, send them over and raise them first."
Yang Feng said sinisterly.
"Understood!"
Chen Dading said immediately.
The Mo Dynasty fought for Annam with the Li Dynasty before, and after the defeat, they have been living in Gao Ping, and they have always been attached to the Ming Dynasty, so they will find out the descendants of this family and throw them in the spare box first, maybe when it will be useful.
"Go, come with me and give you something good."
Then Yang Feng said.
Chen Dading hurriedly followed him, and the two of them went to a garden behind the palace, but in this garden, there were not flowers and plants, but slender saplings, all half a person high, with small umbrella covers with a few leaves on them, which looked very weak.
"It's too cold in Nanjing, and this kind of thing is not suitable for growing here."
Yang Feng squatted in front of a small sapling and said.
"Your Highness, what is this thing?"
Chen Dading asked suspiciously.
"The future of your Chen family."
In his surprised gaze, Yang Feng said.
"This kind of thing is called a rubber tree, and after this tree grows for a few years, a cut in the bark will flow out of it, and this kind of sap can be used to make many, many things after processing, but this kind of tree likes hot and humid environments, especially in the South Seas, and you are also very suitable there. This is my gift to you, you take them all back, separate from your father-in-law's house, and find a place for half of the family to plant, and I will give you a book on planting techniques, you can do it, and when these trees bear seeds, you will continue to expand the planting area, in short, you can plant as much as you can, and after six years, you will be ready to pocket money! ”
He continued.
Chen Dading's father-in-law is Mo Jiu.
The areas controlled by the two of them are basically the main rubber producing areas in modern Vietnam, especially the Dong Nai area controlled by the Chen family, and give them these rubber trees and let them plant them constantly, and they can develop the rubber industry on a large scale in six years.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Chen Dading immediately knelt down and said.
"This is the rubber plantation?"
At this time, in distant Malacca, Luo Zhang was also standing in a rubber forest, but the rubber trees in front of him were already more than one person tall and were thriving.
This was planted by the Dutch, in fact, now they have been providing Yang Feng with a small amount of rubber from South America, but the long journey of tens of thousands of miles, coupled with the fact that it has not been really processed, the rubber is basically wasted, even so Yang Feng still bought it at a relatively reasonable price, such a good business The Dutch of course can not let go, they have been planted in large quantities in this area since the year before last.
The Malacca region was the world's leading producer of natural rubber.
It's just that the Dutch didn't expect that they worked hard to finally make a wedding dress for others, and now these rubber plantations are all directly laughed at by Yang Feng, in fact, not only these rubber plantations, but also the Dutch near the old port with the machine provided by Yang Feng, and a well, which has just been drilled, has now been taken over by the Ming army.
"I protest, you bandits!"
The Dutch East India Company official, who was in charge of the rubber plantation, shouted in Chinese and was dragged out of hiding by Ming soldiers.
"Robbers?"
With an incredible expression, Luo Zhang pointed to the horse-made coolies who lived in the grass huts, had no clothes on them, and were skinny and dull-eyed, and then said to the white and chubby official: "You actually think that you are qualified to say that we are robbers? It's true that we robbed you of everything, but how did you get all this? We're all the same, we're all robbers, it's just that you robbed theirs, we robbed yours, so please don't put on such an innocent face, you don't deserve it! ”
The officer immediately shut up.
Immediately afterwards, he was escorted into a carriage by Ming soldiers.
"Lord Admiral, what about these people?"
A local Chinese pointed to the coolies and asked Luo Zhang.
These coolies were actually slaves, and at this time in the Age of Discovery, slaves were the most common, not to mention blacks, browns, and yellows, even whites in these colonies where the emperor was far away, and they were often used as slaves by the same whites and even their own compatriots, which was the most effective and cheap labor in this era.
"What to do? What else can I do? Continue to work here, and in addition, let's send them a few clothes, anyway, we are also the Heavenly Empire, and we can't be like those red-haired ghosts. ”
Luo Zhang said.
"Well, if they don't do their job well, can we whip them?"
The man asked.
"Smoke, if you don't work hard, of course you have to whip it, this rule is the same for the Heavenly Empire!"
Luo Zhang said.
"General, here comes the British."
At this moment, a herald who came galloping from a horse saluted him.
"Let's go, meet them."
Luo Zhang said with a sneer.
The British are here to mediate, although their goal is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting to reap the profits, but that has to be defeated by both the Ming and the Netherlands, but the current situation is that the Ming army is beating according to the Dutch, in the blink of an eye, not only the fleet of the Dutch East India Company was wiped out at once, even the most important Malacca has been lost, and now the real fortress is only Batavia, and the losses of the Ming army are insignificant, even if they capture Famosa, they will only kill and wound a few hundred people.
This, this......
If the Dutch control the East Indies, the British East India Company may still grab it, but with the current combat effectiveness of the Ming army, then the British East India Company does not expect to get involved in the east of the Strait of Malacca in this life, and even has to be wary of Yang Feng's development to the west of Malacca, this is not alarmist, and now the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty have often visited India, Persia and even the Ottoman Empire.
This can't be done, they have to keep the Dutch, and then let the Dutch contain Yang Feng in Batavia.
Again, the Dutch did not have the courage to fight again.
Before the war, the Dutch were still full of ambition, but as soon as the war began, they realized that it was completely mentioned on the iron plate, and they would not even be able to keep Batavia if they continued to fight.
So the two sides hit it off, and the British, who were commissioned by the Dutch, immediately came to play the role of peacemaker.
"Your Excellency, the Dutch East India Company is willing to release all the seized crews and merchant ships of your country, and formally apologize to your country, and compensate for the losses caused to your country, as for the amount of compensation, the two sides can sit down and discuss, of course, the Dutch colonies that your country has occupied at present, they can also formally cede this, but your country needs to release all captured Dutch."
Woolf, the envoy of the British East India Company, said with a sincere face.
"Old Wu, do you think this is possible?"
Luo Zhang said with a smile as he looked at the former British East India Trade Representative in Nanjing.
"Your Excellency, there is nothing more than a skirmish between your country and the Dutch, and we have cooperated very happily before, why can't we solve the problem in another way?"
Woolf said with a smile.
"Conflict?"
Luo Zhang said with a sneer.
"Sorry, it's not a conflict, it's a war! I was given the order to exterminate all the Dutch and Portuguese who dared to resist in the South Seas, and to restore the Ming rule over this sea, not to negotiate with them, you probably didn't know that all the countries here obeyed the will of the Ming Emperor three hundred years ago, right? You probably don't know that Palembang, which we just recaptured, was the station of the Propaganda Department of the Old Port of Daming back then, right? You probably don't know that the Sultan of Malacca, who was destroyed by the Portuguese here two hundred years ago, is a vassal of my Ming Dynasty who needs to pay tribute to my Ming Dynasty, right? You probably don't know that this is the case for all the countries in the region, right? If you don't know Nanjing, you may not know that a king of Brunei who died of illness when he went to meet the emperor is buried.
We are the masters here, not the Portuguese or the Dutch.
If the Ming Dynasty is our house, then these places are our courtyard.
Before, we were sick and asleep, and others had stolen our courtyard without permission, and even peeped into our house, but now that we are awake and we have recovered, then these people will all get out of our courtyard, and if they don't go, then we will exercise the authority of our masters.
You get the idea, I say that, right? ”
He said as he looked at Woolf's increasingly ugly face. (To be continued.) )
