In late June of the third year of Ruiyuan, the scorching summer season.

The imperial court received the good news of the naval division, the battle at sea was completely victorious, the Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch warship fleets were all annihilated, during the battle, the naval division sank 27 opposing warships, the remaining 138 warships all surrendered, and the Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch sergeants were captured alive A total of more than 6,300 people, including 3,000 land sergeants, it seems that Spain and other countries are preparing to attack on land with only 3,000 sergeants after defeating the Daming naval division.

The losses of the sailors were almost incalculable, two ships were sunk and seven ships were damaged.

Hong Xingui finally reported that he and Zheng Zhilong had started an expedition in mid-June, this expedition, with some captured sergeants as guides, and the rest of the captives were all imprisoned in Batavia, and after the expedition was over, Hong Xingui and Zheng Zhilong would return to the capital with the captives.

The good news of the sailor made the court fall into joy.

When Zheng Xunrui saw the good news, Hong Xingui and Zheng Zhilong and led the sailors to start the expedition.

Expeditions to Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands would take three to four months at the earliest, and the sailors would have to conquer them, but the combined fleets of Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands were completely annihilated, which led to a great reduction in their ability to resist, and it was believed that the sailors would be able to win in a short time.

Zheng Xunrui's goal is very clear, that is, the Ming Dynasty wants to establish a unified rule on the sea, no matter who it is, it must be done in accordance with this rule, if anyone does not follow the rules, then the Ming Navy Division will be dispatched, and the opponent will be convinced.

The overlord on land and at sea must be the Ming Dynasty, which is beyond doubt.

In this sense. The success of the sailor is only half of the mission, and the next expedition is very important.

The victory of the sailors in Batavia, and spread throughout the Southeast Asian seas, no one dared to violate the rules of maritime trade set by the Ming court, Hong Xingui and Zheng Zhilong, Wang Xiaoer and others after discussion, decided to station some sailors in some places around Batavia. Full monitoring of the maritime trade of this generation.

Of course, after the expedition to Spain and other places, whether to station the Daming Sailor in those places is something that Zheng Xunrui decides.

The reason why the good news of the sailor made the whole court fall into a sea of joy is because the situation of all countries coming to the court will soon be realized, and Hong Xingui has already shown in this situation, and the leaders of Southeast Asia are ready. When Hong Xingui led the sailor back to China, he followed him to meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

This situation of all countries coming to the dynasty is a situation that the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty are willing to see.

After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty once had the so-called situation of all countries coming to the court, but that was not strictly the coming of all countries, at least there were no overseas countries coming to the court, but this time the situation was different, not only some countries around the Ming court wanted to come to the court. It is foreseeable that many overseas countries will also come to the court. The scene was very lively.

Throughout thousands of years of history, there has not been one who has done this, Tang Taizong was called the Heavenly Khan by the grassland tribes, and the Tang Dynasty at that time was looking down on all beings, and now the Ming Dynasty. The same can be done.

From this point of view, it is impossible for civilian and military officials to be unhappy.

To everyone's surprise, the emperor didn't seem to value the lively scene of all countries coming to court, but he was concerned about whether the Daming Royal Bank could expand overseas as much as possible, and even expand to Spain and other places.

The queen mother, Wen Manshan, who has understood the important role of banks. Dongmei and Bian Yujing, as well as many ministers in the cabinet, were very surprised by the emperor's thoughts, if the Ming Royal Bank was opened in Spain and other places, then the Ming Dynasty would obtain endless wealth from these places, and it would be impossible for the Ming Dynasty not to be strong at that time.

As a result, Wen Manshan and others finally discovered the emperor's vision and ambition, the emperor for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that he has done all his best, and all the things the emperor does, the purpose is very clear, thinking before and after, over the years, every decision made by the emperor is full of deep meaning.

is so wise, so far-sighted, who in this world can do it, how can such a strong and wise emperor be able to compete with Liukou and Houjin.

At the beginning, the emperor had been restricting the scale of the cavalry of the Zheng family army and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and the development to 400,000 people felt that it was too much, and the imperial court could not bear it, but for the development of the water division, there was no restriction at all, on the contrary, a lot of money and food were invested in the water division, which once made many people not understand, and now the effect is finally out.

With the continuous expansion of the Ming sailors, it is believed that in the near future, the taxes on overseas trade will account for more than 60% to 70% of the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, and if the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty can directly enter Spain and other places, the taxes on overseas trade can not be specifically estimated.

Qianning Palace.

Wen Manshan gently rubbed Zheng Xunrui's shoulders, this has become a habitual action in the harem, the emperor is very busy every day, most of the time is watching the twists and turns, there is very little time for activities, once the emperor comes to the harem, whether it is the queen or many concubines, they all have to rub the emperor's shoulders.

"Your Majesty, the concubines want to go to Batavia to have a look, and I don't know what is going on with the Royal Bank set up in Batavia, and the lot of information sent by the Intelligence Agency is not very clear."

"Queen, this can't be blamed on the Intelligence Agency, you control the Royal Bank, and the talents who are familiar with the banking business have been pulled away by you, and even the Henry on my side has been dug up by you, where does the Intelligence Agency have the opportunity to compete with you, this matter of collecting intelligence, if you are not familiar with the business of the bank, the information obtained is naturally imperfect."

Zheng Xunrui did not answer positively, and Wen Manshan did not ask.

"Your Majesty, the concubines feel that those overseas people are really flexible in their minds, so they said that this Henry, when he entered the bank, quickly became familiar with the relevant business, and many people around the concubines were not able to fully familiarize themselves with the bank's business after several years, and the concubines sometimes hated iron and steel, and the more than ten people recommended by Henry seemed to be naturally familiar with the bank's business."

Zheng Xunrui smiled, in fact, the business engaged in by the East India Company is somewhat similar to that of banks, and Henry and others have always been engaged in financial work, so of course they are familiar with banking matters.

"Queen, it is very important for the bank to absorb talents, you want to go to Batavia to see, I know your mind, is to worry about the Royal Bank overseas, whether it can operate well, you don't have to worry about this, there is one thing you can remember, whether the Royal Bank can expand its business well overseas, it depends on whether my Daming Sailor is strong, whether he can become a real overlord at sea."

Wen Manshan nodded, of course she knew this truth.

"The emperor's meaning is understood, if the emperor is unwilling, the concubine will not go."

"No, you should go, the Daming Royal Bank in Batavia is very important, I have decided to open the Daming Royal Bank to many overseas places, this overseas Daming Royal Bank is definitely different from the mainland, it needs some regulations, and it needs to be in line with the local situation, these things can only be decided by you."

Speaking of this, Zheng Xunrui shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, Wen Manshan is the queen, this special identity makes others dare not decide the affairs of the Daming Royal Bank at will, Zuodu Yushi Wen Zhenheng is Wen Manshan's third master, he loves Wen Manshan since he was a child, and he will not go to the trouble of the Daming Royal Bank.

Wen Manshan knew what the emperor meant, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are not arbitrary, the matters of the Ming Royal Bank are ultimately decided by the emperor."

"That being said, Ke Zhen's energy is limited, where can I make decisions on everything, this matter of the Royal Bank, please ask the queen to worry more."

"The concubine obeys."

"Okay, there is not so much etiquette between you and me, this is at home, to say that there is such a respectful guest, I am really not used to it, you go to Batavia, wait until Hong Xingui returns to the capital to offer victory, you can do a lot of things at that time, to Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands and other places to set up the Ming Royal Bank, also need to be decided, and to decide the candidate."

Wen Manshan nodded, and her face became more serious.

"Hanyu has been traveling for almost half a year, I have received a lot of letters, in just half a year, Hanyu has understood a lot of things, I am still very happy, hey, Hanyu is my son, and the requirements for beating Xiao Zhen are very strict, compared with his younger sisters, I still feel a little guilty."

Speaking of Zheng Hanyu, Wen Manshan's eyes are a little red, mother and son are connected, Wen Manshan often dreams of Zheng Hanyu.

"Your Majesty, the concubine also received a letter of greeting from the prince, and the concubine was very pleased, but she couldn't help but think about Hanyu."

"I know that Hanyu will be in Nanjing next month, you should prepare, set off to Nanjing, meet Hanyu, I don't have time to go to Nanjing, and I can't go out in a short time, you tell Hanyu on behalf of me, let him persevere, he must know the people's suffering, know what the government at all levels do, and more importantly, know the situation of commerce and trade in various places, only when he does this, he will be able to manage the Ming Dynasty well in the future."

"The concubine knows, the emperor should pay attention to his body, during this time, the concubine sees the emperor's face, it is always not good, things can be done slowly, the emperor's body is the most important."

"I know, maybe after the destruction of the Great Qing Kingdom, I can breathe a sigh of relief."
