Chapter 368 in Shandong 3

Mr. Ma told us: "Contradictions are universal." The old man Mao told us: "Where there are people, there is a struggle."

The reason why it is said that Mao's theory is the result of the combination of Marxism and China's specific national conditions is because Mao's thinking is rooted in the profound soil of China's actual conditions. In this land of China, the theory of the old man Mao is applicable everywhere.

The Baath Party is very outspoken in the face of the masses. "We want to destroy an old world where there are classes, exploitation, and oppression, and where the rich and powerful ride on the heads of the people to make a fortune. We want to create a new world in which all working people are equal, every working person has the right to receive the remuneration for his or her own labor, the income of all working people is protected, and the working people are the masters of their own affairs." These programs and policies of the Ba'ath Party and the Ba'ath Party are straightforward, plain, and clear, and they must tell the truth to the masses of the people.

However, on the other hand, in the environment of the Ming Dynasty, the Baath Party used a relatively subtle face to contact external forces and personnel. The most direct manifestation of this is that the vast majority of people who deal with the Ba'ath Party believe that the true face of the Ba'ath Party is a powerful business organization. The Renaissance Trading Company is the entity of the Baath Party.

In fact, most of the high-ranking figures of the Jiangnan family, who had a lot of contact with Fuxing Trading Company, and held the economic lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, knew that Fuxing Trading Company was not just a simple organization as a trading company. Although they don't know what is going on with the Baath Party, they also know that the Baath Party dares to export militaristic weapons such as muskets and cannons.

The brown bass rifle and the Napoleonic steel cannon are the fist products exported by the Baath Party to the Jiangnan maritime merchant family. From 1621 onwards, the Baathist's Nanyang muskets and Western cannons began to be sold from the southwest to the southeast. The white-pole soldiers in the southwest, Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong in the southeast, which were well-known in the history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, were all important trading partners of the so-called Fuxing Trading Company of the Baath Party.

Qin Liangyu's Qin Merchant Group, the former Yan Siqi Maritime Business Group and the current Zheng Zhilong Maritime Business Group, in addition to buying a large number of weapons and medicines from the Fuxing Trading Company every year, and the Qin Business Group also relied on the "cheap" cotton cloth provided by the Fuxing Business Group to monopolize the cotton cloth market in the entire southwest region, including Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou.

Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong, the maritime groups in the southeast region, in addition to purchasing large quantities of muskets, artillery, gunpowder, steel guns, steel crossbows, half-body plate armor, and other cold weapons from the Fuxing Trading Company every year, they also had to import a large amount of medical products such as aspirin, sulfonamide, alcohol, medical gauze, and a large amount of canned and compressed military rations and other food from the Fuxing Trading Company.

Even at the beginning of this year, Zheng Zhilong, who had a lot of money, ordered 20 600-ton armed merchant ships equipped with a large number of high-quality steel smoothbore guns and a hybrid of paddle steamers and sails specially used by the Wuchang Shipyard of the Baath Party for export.

If it weren't for the fact that the Baath Party's standard ships were not exported to the outside world, Zheng Zhilong would even want to buy the Baath Party's active warships.

In the words of Zheng Cai, who is in charge of liaising with the Baath Party, the Zheng family is not short of money.

The Baath Party has no doubts about this. You must know that Zheng Zhilong and other southeastern maritime businessmen are also open to buying all kinds of commodities such as cigarettes, liquor, tea, bricks, glass products, silk, cotton cloth, metal farm tools, and small hardware produced by the Baath Party every year, and even all kinds of deep-processed specialties from all over Hubei, and even such cold things as canned Gexian rice and Gexian rice health care products.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ba'ath Party was an industrialized organization, it would have been very difficult to supply the southeastern maritime merchants.

Those big landlords and big businessmen in the Jiangnan area who are not involved in maritime trade, although they will not be like Qin Liangyu, Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers are currently in the hands of the Qin family and Ma Xianglin, who are closely related to the interests of the Baath Party, and Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong have no scruples to purchase a large amount of military supplies from the Baath Party.

But in 1628, if any of the children of the family did not have a magnifying glass, a small vanity box with a mirror and various tools for trimming nails and beards; If the team of a big family is not equipped with dozens or hundreds of flintlock handcuffs; If any family does not use "crystal" tableware and tea sets when entertaining guests, it is a kind of performance that has not seen the world and has no grade.

Under the dumping of industrial products by the Baath Party, the current prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River pays attention to "drinking Jiannan" spring wine, using "chaise fat" soap, using flush toilets for toilets, sleeping on Simmons mattresses, and not taking a four-wheeled carriage made of light steel decorated with various wrought iron and crystal glass with crystal glass when traveling.

Don't look at the children of these Jiangnan families who seem to be drunk and dreaming of death, but all of them have bought steam paddle steamers produced by the Ba'ath Party and are running and trading, and they have all bought the Baath Party's brown bass rifles armed with the family team. The heads of the Jiangnan family, they are all cunning and cunning.

They all know that the Fuxing Trading Company, which can sell cannons, bows and crossbows, plate armor, and even steamships in large quantities, is not something that ordinary people can touch casually.

The Zhijiang Palace, which can stand tall in the four dynasties of Wanli Taichang Tianqi Chongzhen, and has a close relationship with the four generations of emperors and the various successive great eunuchs in the north and south capitals, is much more difficult to provoke than the clans of the emperor's close branches like King Fu and King Lu.

According to well-informed sources, when the first emperor Tianqi was alive, Wei Zhongxian said some innocuous little things to the Zhijiang Palace, and was reprimanded by the Emperor Tianqi. It is said that today's Emperor Chongzhen even said to the people around him in the Qiandi, "There are thousands of clans in the world, and only one branch of Zhijiang is close to the heavenly family". Thinking about it again, Zhu Shuzhen, the king of Zhijiang, has nothing to do except have one daughter, so the Zhijiang Wangfu can really do whatever he wants.

As for whether the Zhijiang Palace, it will be scrunched by the next emperor, it will have to wait until a few decades later, when the next emperor comes to power. Anyway, Zhu Shuzhen, who is in his forties and has no son, does not pose any threat to Emperor Chongzhen, who is less than twenty.

Don't look at the Jiangnan area, which is much farther away from Beijing than Shandong, but the gentry in the Jiangnan area are much better informed than the local sticks in Shandong.

The most important thing is that because of the perennial business, the big families in the Jiangnan area have cultivated a good eye to listen to the wind and discern in the business world. For them, the Baath Party's cheap goods were of course a great loss to their own workshop production, but the Baath Party's products were endless, and they made money just by reselling the Ba'ath Party's massive industrial products as second-hand dealers.

More importantly, the Baath Party is not just selling finished cotton cloth. Steam engines, new iron looms, these good things, the Baath Party also sold them openly to the big landlords in the Jiangnan area. It can be said that the emergence of the Baath Party has more advantages than disadvantages for most Jiangnan families. A small number of people whose interests have been damaged can also change their course and reopen other businesses selling Baath Party goods.

The booming business in the Gangnam area, especially the overseas trade demand that was still in short supply after the emergence of the Ba'ath Party, made the cooperation between the Gangnam family and the Ba'ath Party very good. And the Jiangnan family, who knows how to debate the style, also knows that they must respect the Fuxing Trading Company, which has a strong background and a strong background.

However, the gentry in Shandong, who were closed-minded and stiff-minded, did not know the strength and details of the Baath Party. In his own one-acre and three-point land, he was used to being domineering to the Shandong gentry, and the first time he did business with the commercial organization of the Baath Party, he showed his true colors like Ye Liangchen
