Chapter 711: I hope the sea is flat
Zhang Jing nodded consciously.
Then he said, "That's all?" ”
This man said: "The governor was very interested in them, and asked them to settle down in the Ryukyus, and asked me to inquire about their situation in the lands south of the Yangtze River, and they all said that the emperor was deaf, and the people's minds were in turmoil, and they bought houses in the Ryukyus, and they wept bitterly when they mentioned the past, and only hoped that one day they would be able to return to Daming with the governor's fleet." ”
Zhang Jing thought it was ridiculous.
But if you think about it carefully, this is probably the psychology of the people, who were originally the big clans in the south of the Yangtze River, but as a last resort, they fled in a hurry, and the gold and silver could not be taken away, and many relatives were afraid that it would be too late, so when they arrived at the place of the Ryukyus, their identity plummeted, and what they missed every day was the glory of the past.
What's more, their ancestors are still buried in the interior, so there is no day without homesickness, and the only way to go back is to count on the Dutch people.
In order to move the Dutch people, it is necessary to add oil and vinegar to explain how weak the Ming Dynasty is, and praise how the Dutch people are strong and strong.
Zhang Jing stroked the case, and then said, "You go on." ”
"Actually, the Dutch are very intelligent...... The governor may not be able to trust these things. It's just that...... There were some words that the governor was wary of......"
"What's the matter?"
"It is said that the Ming Dynasty has begun to set up a shipping company, and also imitated the Dutch and Francois people, named the East Indies, its ambition is not small, not only to establish a considerable fleet, but also in Quanzhou, Tianjin Wei and other places, day and night to build ships, for the use of sailors and shipping companies......"
Zhang Jing said: "So...... What do they think. ”
"They believed that the Netherlands, who were so numerous in population, that they were far inferior to the Dutch in terms of sea and ships, would sooner or later overtake the Netherlands and the Francophiles in time. The Governor had discussed with the Francois that it might be a climate in ten years, and that in twenty years, the ships of the Ming Dynasty might be ...... Cause disaster to the four seas. ”
Disaster?
Zhang Jing never expected that this Dutch would use such a word.
It stands to reason that they are doing colonization and massacre.
"Therefore...... The governor also wrote a letter to communicate with his own country, believing that sooner or later it would become a great threat, and that not only the Ryukyus, but also the lands of Ryusong and Sumatra might be lost. And...... It is possible that the fleet of the Ming Dynasty will appear off the coast of Francois and the Netherlands, burning everywhere and becoming a new enemy. ”
Zhang Jingyi: "......"
This brain hole.
Zhang Jingyi stared at this Lin Bin: "Does anyone believe it?" ”
"A lot of people believe it." Lin Bin said cautiously: "In the Netherlands, there is also a book written about this, saying that thirty years later, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty arrived in Europa, and then defeated the countries of Europa, so they began to build fortresses on the coast everywhere, and all people, including the priests, were beaten into slaves, and did hard labor in the manor, and the people of the Ming Dynasty wielded whips and beat the slaves of Europa at will, and if the women were defiled, if they were pregnant, they would be executed. If a man disobeys, he will have his hands chopped off......"
Zhang Jingyi: "......"
Lin Bin said: "Yes, the governor is extremely nervous, and he thinks that the situation cannot be allowed to continue like this. ”
"And then."
Then I heard that in Rome there was a meeting that discussed the matter and said that it was going to be a conquest...... Send a fleet to this Ming Dynasty, completely destroy all the fleets of the Ming Dynasty, and destroy all the docks along the coast...... Of course, each country has its own needs, and the Portuguese are weaker and hope to get reparations. The Spaniards were so powerful that they thought they should compensate for the encroachment on a few rich lands. The Dutch wanted to open all the ports and get the Penghu area. As for the other nations...... Villain...... Not much is known. ”
Of course, these are all confidential matters, and what the villain hears is just some rumors, and it is unknown what it is. It's just that...... Two years ago, the Governor ordered me to go inland to collect all kinds of information about the Ming Dynasty, especially about the Liukou, the scholars in Jiangnan, and the source of the Ming ship's material...... These days, even directly ordered the villain...... Find out how many garrisons are stationed at the Navy, as well as the number of ships of the naval division, and the level of training. ”
When Zhang Jing heard this, she couldn't help but be speechless.
In fact, the historical Spaniards did have expeditionary plans for the Ming Dynasty. And as for the Dutch people...... He also fought against Daming in the Penghu area.
Of course, this kind of hand-to-hand ...... It's not huge.
It's just that Zhang Jingyi still doesn't believe it, it's just because of the so-called fear of the threat to the Ming Dynasty that these people with ghosts are willing to unite together.
Zhang Jing stroked the case, was silent for a moment, and said, "Is it just these?" Are these reasons? Lin Bin, it seems that you are not very honest! ”
Lin Bin was already startled.
Zhang Jing was murderous: "Do you think that if we take you, we don't know anything about the overseas situation." You see, if you don't say it, it doesn't matter. You're going to die, and since you don't want to die happily, that's fine. ”
Many people will make threats.
But obviously, in this place, Zhang Jingyi's threat is definitely enough to make people frightened.
Lin Bin trembled and said, "I'...... I...... One more thing...... Probably contributed to this...... That's ...... There was a huge problem with the Dutch bank, which triggered a huge catastrophe throughout Europa. Heard...... The impact of this incident was very great, because of the banking crisis, so the East India Company of various countries was greatly affected, and in the past two years, the East India stocks, which have been rising, have plummeted continuously. And...... Even the royal families of various countries have been in turmoil, because everyone found that the money stored in the bank could not be withdrawn. The funds that could have been borrowed are now unable to be borrowed, and I heard that many businessmen have gone bankrupt. Even the royal family...... There was also a problem with the finances, and I heard people from the Governor's Palace talk about it...... It is said that only a new conquest can solve the problems at hand, if not...... The consequences are unimaginable......"
"Really?" When Zhang Jing heard this, she was thoughtful.
The run on the Bank of the Netherlands triggered a ...... The legendary economic crisis.
So far, they have not come out of the crisis.
Therefore, what I said before is actually false, or it is just an excuse, what threat, what Ming has countless wealth, the real reason is ...... In the aftermath of the crisis, before the crowns of many royal families landed, hope ...... Can you solve this problem with a war of great proportions?
"What do they judge about that?"
"Judgment?"
"That's why do they think they can defeat the Ming Dynasty."
"The judgment is simple." Lin Bin said: "When the Japanese invaded the Ming Dynasty, it was during the Jiajing period, and the damage caused by the Japanese was great, and the soldiers and civilians killed were also very large, and the wealth looted was countless. And the Ming Dynasty also spent more than ten years to reluctantly clear out the Japanese invaders. ”
Lin Bin swallowed the foam, and then said: "And now, this Franc machine and the Netherlands, the ships are ten times stronger than the Japanese Bandits, and the combat power is also ten times that of the Japanese Invaders. Even if the Ming Dynasty at this time was stronger than the Jiajing period, it was enough to teach the Ming Dynasty to be anxious and had to sign an alliance with them...... At least...... That's what they think......"
Zhang Jingyi frowned, he actually understood what tactics these people were planning to adopt.
Therefore, Zhang Jing got together and said, "Is there anything else you haven't explained?" ”
Lin Bin said to Ai Ai: "That's it, these are the ...... I've already reported to Wang Yanshi......"
Zhang Jing nodded: "Do you still have relatives in the interior?" ”
Lin Bin said: "...... early It's long gone...... No, I don't. ”
Zhang Jingyi sighed and said, "It's a pity...... But...... Your relatives overseas are only afraid of a lot, and you will have to wait for some time. ”
As he spoke, he instructed the scribe on the side, "Have you written it down?" ”
"Wrote it down."
"Well, pack it up, re-transcribe it, I'm going to play it, and ...... This person...... Leave it to Wu Changchun, he has been unfamiliar with his skills too much recently, if he doesn't do it well, tell him, then he will have no effect! ”
"Yes."
This Lin Bin obviously didn't know what he was going to face, and listened to the conversation between Zhang Jingyi and the scribe in confusion.
But Zhang Jingyi had already quickly walked out of the interrogation room, took a deep breath, he was a little stunned for a while, and always felt that everything that was about to happen might be a little unreal.
As he spoke, he said to Liu Wenxiu, who came with him: "Write down, when the time comes, Feishu will be given to Wang Cheng, first, let him figure out whether the so-called war is really true, and in Xiaoliuqiu and Luzon, we must carefully check the clues, such as ...... If a large fleet comes, new docks and harbors will be built in case they are needed, and in addition to that, see if they are stockpiling grain and grass. Second, if it is a real ship, then ...... How big is the scale, how many people are there, and how many countries are involved. ”
Zhang Jing paused for a moment and continued: "Third, is there a large number of fine works like Lin Bin in the interior. And...... How many soldiers and merchants fled at the beginning? Of course, there are some things...... It may involve the other party's secrets, it is not easy to find out, how much may be found, how much must be found, after having news, it is necessary to immediately send it to the capital urgently, raise troops for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, it is time for him to devote himself to the king's life. ”
Liu Wenxiu bowed his head: "I've written it down, and I'll send it out later." ”
Zhang Jingyi immediately bowed his head and said, "Wokou...... Wako ......"
He recited the words: "If it is the way of playing, it will not be very good, and the Jiangnan side ...... Who can be Hu Zongxian, and who is Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou? ”
"Teacher, you!" Liu Wenxiu said without hesitation.
