Chapter 628: Establishing the First Western Colony of the Ming Dynasty
"Now the Governor has an order, the Netherlands has no way, the first to harm my Han people, so I Ming today to punish its crimes, its Dutch nationals, no matter whether they are respected or inferior are my Ming enemies, so no one can be forgiven, now the Governor will set up a Xiyi Company, to manage the colonial affairs of the West, to allow countries to buy shares, but this Governor will determine the number of shares purchased according to the number of countries to assist the Ming Dynasty to kill the number of red hairs, the Ming Dynasty is prosperous today, you and others have also seen it with their own eyes, you should understand that holding more shares of the Ming Xiyi Company will have more wealth, So now you must immediately participate in the killing of the red-haired fan, and after three months, the knife will be sealed, and the official will establish the ranking according to the number of heads killed. ”
Li Mingrui took the Ming Navy into the National Assembly of the Dutch Republic and immediately issued such an order, and required Western countries to participate in the killing of the red hair fan together with the Ming if they want to get investment opportunities in the Ming Dynasty.
This is a poisonous plan by Li Mingrui, he wants to let the Western countries participate in the suppression of the red hair, so as to intensify the internal contradictions of the Western Fan and prevent the process of its integration.
Once the empires of England, France, Spain, and Holy Rome participated in the suppression of the red hair, it would inevitably arouse the resentment of the Western countries that supported the Netherlands, and it would also deepen the sense of indifference between the Western countries.
Li Mingrui, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, wanted to borrow a knife to kill people.
And the Western countries are also quite resistant after hearing this order, they are unwilling to participate in the Dutch Hongmaofan killing, because they do not hate the Hongmaofan so much, and even many Hongmaofan are their own nationals, but the threat of the Ming Dynasty and the interests of the Xiyi company make these Western countries do not want to refuse like this.
However, under the covert instruction of Governor Li Mingrui, Spain first participated in the operation of exterminating the red hairs together with the Ming Empire, and Spain adopted a compromise method to only kill the red hairs with non-Spanish backgrounds.
Ying Li was very angry when he learned that his British red-haired fan was killed by Spain, and he was not willing to let Spain monopolize the investment opportunity in Daming Xiyi Company, so he also participated in the killing, and killed the red-haired fan with a non-British background.
Later, France and other Western countries also participated.
Li Mingrui allowed that within three months, these Western countries would send an army of no more than 3,000 people to participate in the killing, so the Western countries successively sent troops to kill these red hairs for the Ming Dynasty.
The navy and marines of the ocean-going fleet of the Ming Empire naturally participated in this killing, but the army of the Ming Dynasty would not be red-haired, and if they caught one, they would shoot one directly.
As a result, in the entire Netherlands, the gunfire continued, and everywhere was the sound of the Ming army and the armies of Western countries crossing the border to kill, and the commissioners of the Dutch provinces would also intercede with the Ming Empire, but the Ming Empire would not forgive.
After all, in such a situation where one's own people are slaughtered first, any mercy is a dereliction of responsibility to one's own own people, and it is also a disservice to oneself.
For the first time, the Dutch red-haired fans knew the consequences of offending an Eastern Empire, but there was no regret medicine in this world, and they would never have imagined that when they killed the Han people at will, the people of their own country would one day suffer the same punishment.
Other Western countries also realized what would happen if they offended the Ming Dynasty.
The Hague, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and other Dutch cities have all become a blood city at this moment, and the Ming Dynasty has completely disappeared from here in the most severe way, and it is these Westerners who have contributed to the completion of all this.
At first, the armies of these Western countries were still a little less active or even reluctant, but as time went by, they competed with the retaliation of the red haired fan and found that the other party had more red haired fans than themselves, so the knights of these Western countries went around searching for the red haired fan, and killed all the red haired fans, and even in order to make up the number of heads, the red haired fans who ran to their own territory were also killed and sent back.
Three months later, the entire Dutch Republic, except for the personnel of the Ming Empire's ocean-going fleet and the Western Observation Group, no longer has a single red-haired fan.
This part of the rich North Sea and English Channel region officially became the first colony established by the Ming Dynasty in Western Europe.
Li Mingrui established the ranking of the investment qualifications of various Western countries through the number of people killed by Western countries, and decided that the Ming Dynasty alone held 70 percent of the shares, of which the central power accounted for 40 percent, the Ming Ocean Fleet and the Xiyi Governor accounted for 30 percent, and Spain, England, and France divided the remaining 30 percent.
Li Mingrui officially changed the Netherlands to Daming Xiyi Province, served as the governor of Xiyi, and established Daming Xiyi Company, with The Hague as its headquarters.
However, the Daming Xiyi Company did not use the accumulated wealth of the former Dutch East India Company and the Dutch West India Company as the original capital, but used the funds invested by Western countries as the starting capital.
The original accumulated capital of the Dutch East India Company and the West India Company was naturally all shipped back to the Ming Dynasty.
Li Mingrui valued the size of the former Dutch East India Company and the Dutch West India Company, and then split it into a number of shares, determined the original price per share, and asked the remaining Western countries to subscribe.
Western countries have great trust in the strong national strength shown by the Ming Dynasty and have begun to subscribe.
As a result, Li Mingrui accumulated a large amount of original funds in the form of empty gloves and white wolves and began to build the Xiyi Governor's Mansion and the headquarters of the Xiyi Company, and at the same time purchased merchant ships and established the Daming Ocean Fleet Base to be responsible for the trade routes now controlled by the Daming Xiyi Company. Because the Ming Dynasty now inherited the trade routes controlled by the former Dutch, the trade routes of the Cape of Good Hope, the trade routes of Malacca, the trade routes of the Strait of Magellan, and the trade routes from the North Sea to Northern Europe are now controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
The personnel can only be recruited from other countries on the spot temporarily, but the personnel are filled by the new education talents who graduated from the Daming Jingshi University and other accompanying personnel.
It is worth mentioning that the Ming Dynasty not only established the Xiyi Company in Xiyi, the original Dutch region, and began to make money, as a minister adhering to the will of Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen, Li Mingrui also carried out the Sinicization policy here.
Began to establish the first primary school of the Ming Han family and the primary school, the middle school and the higher school of the Ming Han family, and required the children who became the employees of the Daming Xiyi company to enroll in these schools, and also recruited students.
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty also demolished all the Western buildings here and rebuilt them into buildings with the characteristics of the Ming Han family, not because Li Mingrui could not accept foreign characteristics, but to declare and emphasize that this is already the territory of the Ming Han family.
Western countries did not dare to comment on the behavior of the Ming Dynasty in the Xiyi region, but they also proposed to their own parliaments or kings in their own countries that we could learn the techniques of the Ming Dynasty, but we should stick to our own thoughts, and we could not have no religious beliefs and no churches like the Ming Dynasty.
Just like "mastering the skills of the master to control the Ming", the consensus reached by the Western countries now is to learn the techniques of the Ming Dynasty in order to counterbalance the expansion of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible.
