"Not necessarily, with our military strength, it will not be difficult to capture Batavia."

Tang Jian couldn't help but interject, and Jack nodded:

"It's true that it's not difficult to take it, but how to manage it later? Our ruling power in Manila has already torn down the western wall and made up for the eastern wall - am I right? Continuing to expand the territory after that only further intensified the hollowing out of our group. According to the current management method, we can only gain a foothold if there are a large number of Chinese residents in the area. Manila is half Chinese, the other half European and native, so we can still find supporters here, but it's already a lot harder than on Hainan Island -- so what can we do as a group to make sure we can gain a foothold on the ground when we move forward and occupy territory where there are no or no Chinese residents at all? ”

"We can immigrate...... We have a lot of people in China."

Ade pointed to the other end of the hall, the two "Great Tomorrow Envoys" dressed in red, trying to make a final struggle. And Jack also looked back, looked in that direction, and smiled slightly:

"It's true that it's a good idea to introduce the huge Ming Empire on the Big 6 to Southeast Asia, but how long will this process take? Decade? Twenty years? Or a hundred years? Patriarch Lin, Patriarch Chen, and Patriarch Li over there...... During this time, I have dealt with many of them, and they do not seem to be keen on using the current political advantages to expand the size of the deal, but are more satisfied with preserving the results that have been achieved, and the old people are more interested in returning to their hometowns...... I don't think you're an expansionist people in general. ”

"So, Jack, do you think we should bring more Europeans to the team? Does it include the army as well? ”

Tang Jian suddenly interjected, Jack looked into his eyes and nodded slowly:

"If we want to gain a foothold in Southeast Asia as a group, we must do so - just as if we want to gain a foothold in the Great 6, we must include the subjects of the Ming Empire. I'm going to go back to Hainan Island, and I'm going to go too, and I'm sure a group of Europeans will go back with us, so the current apartheid situation won't exist anymore - but that's not enough, Professor Li, Captain Tang, you have to admit the fact that it's the second half of the seventeenth century, and Europeans are no longer mere outsiders here, they've become part of the local population. Moreover, their existence itself is also one of the important resources of Southeast Asia."

Jack poured over a little red wine, drew a simple world map on the table, and nodded vigorously on the location of Southeast Asia:

"The city of Manila prospered because it was located between the American and European routes, the route through which Spanish galleons transported silver from Mexico to the mainland. If the route is cut off completely, it will slowly become deserted – in fact, Manila's business has been shrinking for the past year. The same was true of Batavia, where the East India Company's huge profits came mainly from spices, but it would be no profit if we only occupied it without trying to get it to Europe...... Of course, we could just be stuck on these routes and collect high taxes on passing merchant ships, but why not go one step further - let us replace them and organize our own merchant fleets to sell them in Europe? ”

"Superseding?"

"Yes, why can't we replace the East India Company with the Qionghai Trading Company? Replacing Spanish galleons with clippers? It is useless to occupy those islands and drive away the colonizers, and only when we truly replace the status and role of those colonizers can we ensure that the region of Southeast Asia continues to prosper. Otherwise, the significance of these places to us is just a remote and remote maritime frontier that has to be filled with a lot of manpower and material resources every year to barely support it. ”

"If that's the case, it's really necessary to absorb European merchants, but also sailors and troops......"

Tang Jian muttered to himself in a low voice, a sudden look on his face. Professor Li, who asked the original question, never spoke, just stared at the simple map of the world on the table and muttered.

Having said this, Old Jack seemed to be a little tired, he drank the red wine in his glass, and then stood up:

"The breadth of the heart is the size of the career - I remember this sentence was said to me at the beginning, he said that this was the motto of the business, but I think it is also perfectly suitable for our team. It is true that the establishment of a mono-ethnic regime with the Chinese as the main body is relatively stable, but I think that our group ......"

Old Jack deliberately nodded his chest:

"-- I should be able to go further."

With that said, Jack? Henderson turned around and left, leaving the three people present, each thoughtful.

…………

In the days that followed, the "tour group" dispersed and carried out a series of tours, fellowships, and inspections in and around Manila City according to their interests.

Of course, Qian Angel and Eunuch Cao were bent on wooing local Chinese, and they went to Jiannei, Binnandu and other Chinese places to go around. Before they came to Luzon, they didn't actually regard this place as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but only came with the intention of "opening their eyes". But after receiving an almost fanatical welcome from the local overseas Chinese, both of them were also quite moved.

Lao Qian is a very smart person, he has been vaguely aware of the intention of the short hair to agree to let this place be incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty - the local Chinese are clearly towards my Ming Dynasty, it turns out that the short hair is to use the prestige of the Ming Dynasty to control the local area, together with you on the one hand, you said to the Ming Dynasty that this is Bao Mao to donate land, the newly opened territory; On the one hand, they use our Daming as a guise to coax the locals, wanting to curry favor with both ends?

If it was a pedantic scholar, most of them would jump up and accuse at this time, but Qian Qianyi was not so shallow. The ups and downs of the sea over the past few years have made him know what to fight for and which ones are not necessary. Moreover, the "win-win" principle that Shorthair has always advocated can also be used in this matter - so Lao Qian just found an opportunity, and inadvertently mentioned it when he met with the old professor: You see that the people of this foreign land are simple, and so many overseas remnants are eager to bathe in the grace of heaven. Shall we discuss and allow the imperial court to send a few pro-people officials over? I don't want to interfere in your administration, but I am only responsible for some things such as indoctrination and schooling, so as to promote my great prestige more.

This request has already been out of the content of the previous peace agreement between the two parties, but what kind of person is Professor Li, he only smiled and agreed, and he generously said that the imperial court could send a genuine county order over. The Luzon Islands are very large, and the town of Qionghai needs to be directly governed by a city of Manila, and in addition, as long as the imperial court is willing to set up a seat in this place, it can send people to perform their duties - not only civil officials, but also military officials, and Qionghai Town is even willing to be responsible for their official salaries, and all of them are in accordance with the rules of Hainan Island.

Qian Qianyi was overjoyed, what is the worst government since ancient times? -- The imperial examination system of the Central Plains Dynasty was able to produce a steady stream of official reserve troops, and as long as it was not in the initial stage of the founding of the country, there would be a large number of alternate officials waiting to take office in the imperial court at any time. It is a good thing to leave a name in history for the country to get a large piece of new territory for the country, but if you can open up a few new official positions for the imperial court at the same time, it will be a great thing to gain fame and fortune.

Of course, Luzon is a little far from the Central Plains, and except for the city of Manila, it is a bit remote and desolate, but this qiē is not a problem at all in front of the old candidates who are waiting for the lack of green eyes. Moreover, after visiting it in the past few days, life here is quite peaceful and stable, even some of the barbarians are not too vicious - according to the short-haired people, the natives here are very lazy, so lazy that they don't even bother to rebel, and they don't care at all who rules this place. It doesn't matter if you go to the West or the Central Plains, they don't care.

However, the land is extremely rich and the land is surprisingly fertile. Qian Qianyi saw with his own eyes that many locals did not grow anything, did not care about anything, lay in the shade of trees all day long, and when they were hungry, they would go to the nearby trees to pick some bananas, mangoes, jackfruits, etc. to satisfy their hunger - so that they could survive forever? And it's not bad to survive.

The eunuch Cao who was with him cried on the spot - Cao Ruyi's hometown is from Shaanxi, if it weren't for the fact that their old Liu family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot, they wouldn't have castrated their son and sent it to the palace. I think back to the bare land in Shaanxi for thousands of miles, everything planted is not harvested, and the desolation and misery of freezing and starvation to death are inevitable in the end after a whole year of hard work, look at this side again...... Can you not cry

Think about it again, even if the Central Plains has been ruled for a long time, what is it like now? -- Don't talk about Liaodong outside the Guan, there was a loss of light during the Apocalypse, and there were many bamboo sticks missing in the missing lottery holders of the Ministry of Officials; Shaanxi is full of disasters and bandits all day long, and the officials who are sent there often have to write their wills before they dare to take office; The Datong area of Shanxi Province is close to the grassland, and in recent years, the side walls have been broken at every turn, and it has almost become a hunting ground for the Mongols and Manchurian Tatars; Yunnan and Fujian are three days of two-headed barbarism; Even Shandong, which has always been considered to be the closest to the left of Beijing, was not turned upside down by the rebels a few days ago

-- In comparison, Luzon is a paradise. In other words, the cannibals in the depths of the jungle are a little afraid of people, but most of the local residents say that they are only using this legend to scare children, and no one has actually seen it.

…… Qian Qianyi carefully wrote this qiē into his travelogue—a literati and ink artist like him would have to leave a mark wherever he went. In addition to comparing talents in the literary world, whether a person has extensive knowledge is also a very important part. When Qian Qianyi was living in the countryside, he heard an interesting anecdote -- in Jiangyin, another small city not far from his hometown of Changshu, there was a man named Xu Hongzu, who was only slightly younger than him, but his level of learning was far from that -- a white-bodied scholar who had not even passed the children's test and could not be called a talent was often mentioned when the literati chatted with a few diary essays that traveled around.

If it's just like that, no matter how careful he is Qian Muzhai, he can't be angry with Bai Ding. But a few days ago, on the way over on the Qionghai big iron ship, I inadvertently mentioned this matter when chatting with those short-haired people on the same road. But as soon as people heard the name, they immediately asked if that person had a title called "Xia Ke"? After receiving an affirmative answer, there was a short-haired stunned young man, who couldn't remember whether it was Guo Yi or Wang Chen...... Suddenly, a sentence popped up at him without a head or a brain:

"This man will be more famous than you in the future"

This sentence almost made Lao Qian so angry at that time - he was a two-rank jinshi, Donglin Kui, although he didn't dare to say that he was a generation of Wenzong, but there are few people in today's literary world who can surpass him, and he actually said that he is not as good as a Bai Ding?

Although Professor Li later came to comfort him and said that the young men were ignorant and spoke indiscriminately, and the young man himself came to apologize, Qian Qianyi was always angry. After so long contact, he found that these short-haired things were strange: some common sense things they did not know, but many extremely out-of-the-ordinary and unthinkable things they could treasure - and so far almost all of them were correct, and very few were wrong.

Although the young man said that he had said the wrong thing, when he heard the words "Jiangyin people" and "love to travel", the three-character name "Xu Xiake" blurted out was not wrong, indicating that he must know that person. But it is precisely this point that makes Qian Qianyi extremely unhappy. For he had come to realize that the things that Shorthair knew were often big things; And most of the characters they know are big names, at least the ones that have left their names in history.

Could it be that his fame in history is really not as good as that of a white ding? Qian Qianyi definitely didn't want to admit it, so he now started writing travelogues as well. Including daily experiences, poems and thoughts, all recorded in detail. I plan to compile it into a collection after I go back, and it is also one of the biographical works.

He didn't believe it, with his own rich experience, wide range of knowledge and knowledge, and the places he traveled to in his life were also from the north and south of the world, such as this time he came to Luzon in the south, who else in the history of the Ming Dynasty except the eunuchs of the Three Treasures ran farther than himself? That Xu who still has to rely on two legs to measure the land step by step, can someone be stronger than himself?

Not to mention the talent of writing and the depth of thought, Bai Ding can't even match it. As early as when he was impeached for the first time and returned to his hometown, he established his life ambition: he did not seek high-ranking officials and profits in this life, but only wanted to have his own position in the future history, but this position must not be low

"Who Else Is I"

…… In the dim light, Qian Qianyi whispered fiercely while writing carefully on the paper. His handwriting is extremely beautiful, and every stroke is powerful through the back of the paper, just like his determination at the moment.
