"Lord, don't pay attention to those enlightened people, if they have the ability, they will come and fight themselves!" For the Manbo Yiguo who received the message, the courtiers in the country did not distinguish between civil and military, and they all had such a tone. It's not the civil and military of the Manbo Zheyi, all of them are mixed with gall, gall, and they are raised.

Zheng He went to the West and sent a sergeant ashore, just when the king of the east and the king of the west were fighting, and the Ming army that went ashore was regarded as the reinforcement of the king of the east, and was killed by the king of the west, that is, the king of Manbo, the king of Yi, killed one hundred and seventy people, Zheng He's fleet at that time, not only was the big ship a forty-four-foot treasure ship that was much larger than the first-class sail battleship of Ding's fleet of the Western Expeditionary Fleet, but also more than 200 ships, 30,000 or 20,000 soldiers, Zheng He's fleet was not engaged in trade, it was all loaded with sergeants, And the Ming army in the year of Chengzu was not a soft-footed shrimp, and later the king of Ceylon Mountain, Yalie Kunaer, sent 50,000 troops to rob Zheng He's fleet, and cut down trees to block Zheng He's way back, Zheng He only led 2,000 followers, so he captured the king of Ceylon even his family, which shows that it is really not impossible to fight, it is for political purposes, and he does not want to create a murderous diplomatic image.

So at that time, the king of Java was also afraid, and sent a messenger to apologize for his sins, and wanted to compensate for 60,000 taels of gold to atone for his sins, Zheng He out of many considerations, seeing that he was very sincere in admitting his guilt, plus his first time going to sea, if there was a war, the emperor was afraid that it would not be easy to explain, even if it was, he was exempted from the war compensation of the king of the west.

Gradually, Manbo Zheyi also found that although the Ming army was powerful, it did not bully people, so slowly, the courage was raised in this way.

Although Ding Yi's fleet was stronger than Manbzeyi's own navy. But compared with Zheng He's ships back then, there was no comparison in scale, with a total of eight first-class battleships and four destroyers. In addition, the six Dafu ships under the command of the new sailor made by Emperor Jing of Jingtai Nian, and the soft sails and steering wheels, some superstructure transport ships, and a number of supply ships were changed in Guangzhou Prefecture, but the scale of about thirty ships was only about 30 ships. I don't think so.

The current Manchu king Anka Agunged Evil Gong also agreed with the minister's statement and said with a smile: "Do they regard Manbo Zheyi as an uncivilized barbarian? There are literally dozens of boats on the top. Can it teach us to be terrified? What a dream! ”

"Lord, according to the barbarians who we killed last time, they are soldiers of the kingdom of Arakan, and I heard that they came to Java. But it was a big ship for the Ming people. Otherwise, how can the Arakanese people live far away from Java? "The ministers below, some people came up to pay tribute like this, "I'm afraid that the Arakanese will suffer a loss, and the enlightened people will come to ask for sins and ask for some benefits and face!" ”

Anka Agung Gede Evil Gong nodded when he listened, but said with a smile: "This can't help him." Then he said to his servants. Order 3,000 sergeants and go to Duban. Didn't they want me to defend myself? I want to check the credentials of their status as ministers of the Ming Kingdom, hum, if they are the ministers of the Ming Kingdom, they are a big country, so I taught them to get on the boat and leave quickly...... If you can't get the vouchers, it's just that the generals under the Ming Kingdom want to make a windfall, but they don't have to leave, just stay in Java! ”

"Lord Saint!" Listening to Anka Agunged set the tone, the civil and military courtiers who were discussing the matter in the house naturally took turns to praise and express that they must teach this ignorant Mingren a good lesson.

But on the coast of Duban, in the headquarters of the regimental defensive position that had just been built, Yang Shan said to Ding Yi with a bad face: "Rujin, it's not too good to do this, I am in China, preaching national prestige, educating the people, and asking them for this so-called compensation; but also to occupy territory...... You are determined to do it, the old brother has nothing to say, so he will naturally accompany you crazy, and dare to accompany you to do this kind of thing of robbing the house and killing the head, and in the future, you will be scourged by you to go to North America to find sweet potatoes, how to do it is really not a problem, it's just that the old brother advises you, so inappropriate......"

Ding Yi stretched his body, although he also ran and exercised every day on the boat, and the first-class battleship was not a small boat, but after all, he was still on the ground, which made him feel more comfortable, at this time, listening to Yang Shan's words, Ding Yi did not answer directly, but asked a question: "Zheng He went to the West, and each one-way trip took more than a year, as far as I know, he had to spend two years of income from the national treasury, but is it true?" ”

"Nature is true." Yang Shan smiled bitterly, he started in Yongle Nian, and he was a person who had experienced these historical events, and when he heard Ding Yi ask, he opened his mouth and came, "About six million taels of silver, and the price of rice at that time was not as high as it is now...... In ordinary times, the ships were repaired and built, and each ship was divided into two thousand taels of silver...... Every time it goes to sea, there are two or three hundred ships...... That's not all, and the rewards for small countries are quite expensive......"

For example, pepper is worth about one tael per 100 catties in the market in Java, but as a tribute, the Ming Dynasty gave a price of 20 taels per 100 catties. And the Ming Dynasty also includes freight in many cases! That's right, the tributary countries, their personnel and goods, are all on the ship of the Ming Dynasty, which is recorded and can be checked, in the nineteenth year of Yongle, Ming Chengzu ordered Zheng He to send the envoys of the sixteen countries back to China; In the twentieth year of Yongle, Zheng He's fleet returned to China, and envoys from Siam, Sumatra and Adan visited with the ship.

In the third year of Yongle, he gave the king of Japan 1.5 million copper coins, and the following year he rewarded tens of millions and 5 million princesses. So much so that during that period, Japan did not even mint copper coins of its own, and used Yongle copper coins as the currency that passed through Japan; Later, silk was rewarded, and it is said that thousands of horses were often given.

"I'm not going to do that." After Ding Yi heard what Yang Shan said, he said to Yang Shan very seriously, "When the fleet sets sail, you have to make money, otherwise, what are we going to do in these countries?" Why don't you go and be a pirate! I want land, let the poor emigrate, and if I can't do it, I will exile the prisoners here; We must enlighten the people at the bottom of the country and let them understand that the proletarians have nothing to lose, and what they lose is only shackles; The uncivilized people with low civilization are provided with the opportunity to work, because the labor force of the Ming Dynasty went to the factory, and there was a lot of land that required labor to cultivate, and I believe that the landlords should be willing to provide such job opportunities, and as intermediaries, of course, we will charge a fee......"

"The strong cause chaos and weakness of their kingdoms; The weak are just slaves. Yang Shan ruthlessly exposed the essence of Ding's words.

Ding Yi shrugged his shoulders and did not argue with Yang Shan on this issue: "In less than two or three years, the cotton cloth of Liangguang will reach a saturated state, how can a large number of low-cost cotton cloth be sold?" If industrialization goes well, ten years from now, there will be more things, and the Chinese market will be saturated, then Europe is an excellent dumping ground, and the Chinese people have this virtue......"

This time he didn't finish speaking, Yang Shan answered him first: "Rujin is going to talk about the old and the old, and the old people; The young of me, and the young of man. Right? If I am rich in China, I can endure and see that my clothes do not cover my body? What does that mean? To put it bluntly, it is to force their own workshops and craftsmen to not survive, and erode their national capital. By the way, and then look at objects that are useful to China, such as sweet potatoes and glue, and naturally plunder them to China at a low price......"

Saying that, Yang Shan couldn't help but shudder, looked at Ding Yi and asked, "Do you want to use your whole life to build down the foundation of Huaxia for thousands of years?" Ding Rujin, Ding Rujin, your heart may not be too big! If you think that if the ships at sea are far more powerful than other countries, I am afraid that if you encounter the merchant ships of other countries, you will also have to collect taxes, right? You want to turn this sea into an inland river of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"No, brother, you're wrong." Ding Yi sighed lightly, now he really has a bit of Cao Shoufu's bearing back then, "The student just can't bear to see the swords and soldiers rising everywhere, and the lives are ruined, and he can't bear to look at the barbarian land, eggplant hair drinking blood." Whether it is the Chinese people, the Japanese people, or the Kunlun slaves, the blood that comes out is all red, and they are all human ...... after all."

Yang Shan rolled his eyes and said directly to Ding Yi: "You hold it again, believe it or not, the old brother will smack you in the face?" ”

"Faith."

"What if the king of Manjajab does not come? You always say what kind of artillery is good, how good is it? In Beijing, Wang Gongchang I have also been there, that cannon is just like that, hit people unexpectedly, if the other party can send tens of thousands of soldiers, we will have thousands of soldiers, how to fight? Isn't it time to get on the boat and run? Yang Shan, who had never seen the power of the ship's guns, asked Ding Yi quite worriedly, anyway, they were all on the thief ship, and he always had to ask clearly.

Even when Ding Yi told him that he was fine, he was still very worried: "Why don't you let this ship's gun fire a shot for me to see?" What a reason for artillery! After all, we have only a few thousand soldiers, and we are overseas, and one less has died, and we have no recruitment! I went down and looked at the cannon, and I couldn't see that it was as strong as you said, just look at the soldiers, practicing there, better than a cannon with the same voice! ''The second cannon is good!' 'What can you do by yelling like this?' ”

At this time, Li Yuncong hurriedly entered to report: "Sir, the lord of Duban sent someone to report, saying that Manbo Zhiyi will send an envoy to Duban tomorrow, accompanied by 5,000 personal guards, all elite people. ”

Yang Shan sounded as if he had swallowed a fly, and asked Ding Yi, "Listen?" Send a messenger and you will bring 5,000 men! Although there is a suspicion of showing off the soldiers, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are only three or five thousand people on our ship......"
