Combined with the music of the Tianjin garrison, plus this letter sent by the Dutch.

To a certain extent, what everyone feels is the threat of a mallet in one hand and a radish in the other.

Of course, this hand, the Ming monarchs and ministers who have been influenced by countless power schemes, feel ridiculous when they look at it. This is the lowest kind of conspiracy, and it is purely disgusting.

The quality of the power scheme is not high, which does not mean that the monarchs and ministers take it lightly, because the problem is very serious.

How serious is it?

Tianjin Wei this place, is the throat of the entire Ming Dynasty, for example, if someone wants to play the threat, like the Jiannu people to Liaodong, or like the Japanese to harass on the southeast coast, the Ming Dynasty's reaction may be half a beat slower, and when the problem is serious, it has to be solved with all its might.

But Tianjin Wei is different, Tianjin Wei is close to the sea, which means that these ships are a stone's throw away from Tianjin Wei. At the same time, Tianjin Wei is only a few hours away from Beijing, and this is the important place of Gyeonggi.

What's really scary is that this is the node of the North-South Canal.

The canal is the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty.

The continuation of the Ming Dynasty is to control the south of the Yangtze River by relying on the canal, and at the same time, a large amount of grain from the south of the Yangtze River will be continuously exported to the capital, which can ensure that the capital can command the world.

And once there is any accident here, it means that the transportation between the north and the south will be interrupted, and the capital will become an isolated island.

What's even more terrifying is that if there is an enemy at sea and appears in Tianjinwei, wouldn't it mean that the safety of the Jingshi will not be guaranteed?

To show off your might in other places, that is called playing with a big knife in front of the door, which is indeed an insult.

But when you come to Tianjin Wei, it is equivalent to breaking into my bedroom to play a big knife, what is this?

This is naked threats and provocations.

As for the humble attitude in the national letter, not only will it not help alleviate this kind of shame and humiliation for Da Ming, but it will make Da Ming have the feeling that you are not only insulting me, but also insulting my intelligence.

As a result, a huge discussion immediately took place in the imperial court.

The result of the discussion was that the troops of Tianjin Wei were increased, all contacts with the Dutch were cut off, and the political envoy of Guangdong was immediately ordered to expel the Francois in Macao.

In addition, the Guangdong and Fujian Sea Road Inspection Divisions were ordered to be on standby at any time to use the Penghu area as a springboard to clear the Netherlands in Xiaoliuqiu.

After all, this time there were really few officials who colluded with the Dutch, and the arrival of these ships immediately aroused the anger of the Manchu Dynasty, and it was almost unanimous, and there was no room for turnaround.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was also very annoyed, he closed his eyes, and then glanced at Zhang Jing lightly, and asked, "Zhang Qing, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Jing said: "The minister has long expected that the Dutch people will come." ”

Hindsight is 20-20?

Hindsight?

The ministers looked at Zhang Jingyi, and they were all stunned.

You fucking knew that, so why didn't you say it?

I expected you to be a ghost.

Zhang Jingyi really expected it.

From the beginning of arranging for people to go to the bank in the Netherlands to save money, Zhang Jingyi knew that the Dutch people would definitely appear.

It's not his whims, it's that he knows the Dutch.

The Netherlands dares to do anything for the sake of business.

At first, they came to what they thought was the Far East in the hope of making money from trade, and to make a fortune by transporting silk and porcelain to Europe.

But now, they have apparently discovered a greater source of wealth, just because the Ming Emperor killed some merchants, causing many Han merchants to deposit money in the bank.

In a short period of time, such a huge amount of money has been stored.

It can be seen that the wealth of the Ming Dynasty is far beyond their imagination.

Finance, which has always been the most profitable, has greater profits than trade, attracts savings, and with these saved funds, they can be taken out and lent at will, without taking any risks, and can almost guarantee income in drought and flood, and casually get more than 10% of the loan interest from the treasury of European countries.

When the Dutch saw the money, they immediately began to look at Da Ming with admiration, and they realized that this country still has countless hidden wealth, so they will definitely try their best to come to Da Ming to negotiate.

This time, I am afraid that in addition to expressing the desire for trade, I hope to be able to penetrate the business of their bank into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, there is really no influence in Macao, at most a little Han businessmen, if the bank can enter the capital, or enter Suzhou and Hangzhou, I am afraid that the savings can be ten or a hundred times more.

What a business.

For this, I'm afraid I'm going to have to fight hard.

Of course, the only thing Zhang Jingyi didn't expect was that the threat of the Dutch was so naked, for fear that the Ming Emperor would not agree, so he simply came to a gunboat diplomacy.

Gunboat diplomacy, oh, I was able to bump into it.

The ministers all looked at it, their faces were very unsightly, and they seemed to have some kind of doubts about him.

Zhang Jingyi was very calm, and said lightly: "So the minister has already been prepared, since the Dutch people dare to come this time, if I refuse to see it, I am afraid that it is very inappropriate, I am afraid that people who don't know the inside story, saying that I am afraid of the Dutch people, I am a state of etiquette, why don't Your Majesty see these Dutch envoys, salute first and then soldiers?" ”

Salute first, then soldier......

The attitudes of the officials began to be a little differentiated, and some people felt that what Zhang Jingyi said did have some truth.

Others feel that this move will only fuel arrogance.

So it was noisy again.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is considered in the long run, and it is right to salute first and then soldier, and the Dutch people are aggressive, and those who come are not good."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

The noisy voice was a headache, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse snapped the case, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, it's useless to quarrel, even so, it doesn't hurt to see it, what Zhang Qing said about saluting first and then soldiering, won my heart." When I see them, I have redressed them for their crimes, and then I can do it again. ”

A controversy, that's the end of it.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was still furious.

Threatening Tianjin Wei will never be tolerated.

That is, Zhang Jingyi is here to support the meeting, otherwise, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will never take the first salute and then the soldiers.

He returned to Xiyuan angrily, scolded loudly, turned his head to Wei Zhongxian and said, "Wei Banban, let people go to Tianjin Wei to find out the truth of this Dutchman." ”

Where did Wei Zhongxian dare to slack off, he was busy saluting: "Obey the order." ”

…………

Macau.

Bank of Amsterdam.

At this time, the scale of the bank has expanded in almost half a year.

The Macau bank has begun to become a branch of the entire Far East, controlling the business of the entire Far East, and it is no longer an ordinary small branch.

And the former president has now been promoted, and there are even rumors that he may be on the board of directors next year.

All of this is of course due to the boom in business at the Bank of Amsterdam in Macau.

Now, the entire bank has been greatly encouraged, and people deeply believe that in this Ming Empire, there is an incomparably huge wealth beckoning to people.

The letter of the governor, sent by clipper.

Immediately afterward, the executives of the Dutch East India Company and the bank in Malacca heard the news and reacted quickly.

In particular, the East India Company, in the area of Malacca, in order to firmly control the Far East and hold this golden waterway, the Dutch East India Company set up a higher organization in Malacca and set up a governor.

Diplomatic and military authority for all operations in the East.

Several directors of the bank are also stationed here all year round.

After confirming the news, they hurried to Daming, and in order to expand the bank's business, they were ready to meet Emperor Daming with a bayonet.

And all of this actually originated from the small bank of Macau Trade Point.

At this time, the bank's business is still as usual, and all the guys are in order, waiting for the new customers to come to the door.

However, these days, the number of Han merchants who come to save is decreasing.

This was a bit frustrating, so everyone suspected that the fear of the Han merchants for the Ming Emperor began to dissipate, and in addition, Macau was only a small place after all, and most of the Han merchants were very unfamiliar with it.

Suddenly business plummets, and there is inevitably some frustration.

Can ...... today?

But suddenly, a person walked in slowly.

Seeing that it was a Han man, a hired Han man immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Guest officer, are you here to deposit silver?" ”

Come and humane: "Take the money." ”

"Withdraw money?" The guy smiled and said equally courteously: "Guest officer, please inside, I don't know the guest officer's name." ”

This man said: "The surname is Wang, Wang Cheng." ”

The guy invited Wang Cheng to sit down, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, your deposit slip ......"

Wang Cheng crossed his legs, and then slapped a deposit slip on the table.

Syllable.

The guy was busy taking the deposit slip, looking down, the tattoo was 50,000 taels of silver, and he said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I'll go and withdraw the silver......"

With that, I went to go through the formalities.

As long as there is business, whether it is depositing silver or withdrawing silver, the guys are enthusiastic, although the fifty thousand taels of silver is not small.

But just when the guy was going to go to the vault.

At this time, another man came.

After this person came in, he glanced at Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng smiled and turned his face to the side.

The man said, "Come, man, I'm here to get the silver." ”

When the guy heard this, he had to turn back and say with a smile: "There are a lot of people who take money today, and I don't know how much the guest officer will take." ”

"Not much, 100,000 taels." The man said with a smile.

At this time, the man's face began to become a little ugly.

Today's arrivals are all withdrawals, and they are all large withdrawals.

Still smiling, he said, "So...... Villain ......"

He was talking with difficulty, but he saw several Han merchants coming together.

All of a sudden...... Suddenly, the guy started to feel a little unusual.

………………

And also.
