Chapter 273: East India

Sen lowered his voice slyly: "The Dutch sold the East Indies, ours, if the Portuguese and the Spaniards, Your Majesty, the Spaniards have a good relationship with you, if the Ming is willing to buy, I think the Spaniards may dispel this idea, but the Portuguese have abundant funds, and if they compete with it, it will inevitably waste a lot of financial resources." Your Majesty, all we have to do is make the East Indies worthless, so this acquisition must be united by the Ming and the British. ”

Jason paused and said: "The reason why the Dutch resold the East Indies was because its colonies in the Far East had been weakened, and they did not have enough troops to protect the East Indies, in fact, they were most afraid of the Ming sailors, once the Ming declared war on the East Indies, it was impossible for the Dutch to rescue in the Far East, thousands of miles away, so the East India Company meant that it was not better to resell this land as soon as possible than the East Indies were swallowed." And the Portuguese don't have much to do with the Ming, so they are willing to buy it. What if the sailors of the Ming Dynasty declared war on the East Indies at this moment? ”

Zhu Jun understood that the Dutch sold the East Indies because they did not have enough protection capacity, and the European countries had coveted the East Indies for a long time, and they would inevitably bid for each other, and if they wanted to buy them, they would inevitably need a large amount of silver. Then the only way is to devalue the land, and then push the UK to the front desk to buy the land.

How to devalue this land? The only way is for the Ming Naval Division to declare war on the East India Company's territory in the East Indies, then all the countries that want to buy must first realize one point, when you buy this land, you still need to have a naval battle with the Ming Dynasty to get, and you have to fight a war after spending money, it is better to send a fleet directly to the Americas or Africa to grab it more realistically, and declare war with the Ming Naval Division, even if your country has a strong naval strength, but your enemy is at your doorstep, and you have to travel far across the ocean, this is not nothing to find a draw. Once the Great Ming Naval Division declared war on the East Indies, it meant that the East Indies had become chicken ribs, enough to deter all European countries from buying the East Indies, the Dutch East India Company could not find a seller, and the East Indies were in danger of being annexed, and the only way was to frantically reduce the price and sell it at a price of jumping.

At this time, the British can make a move, the land of one million silver coins may only need the price of 100,000 silver coins to obtain, after the land is in hand, the Daming Navy Division suddenly ceased war, and then it is to divide the spoils, two one to add five is not successful, buddy's water division labor division at least 28 to open, I am eight you two, everyone earns money, everyone shares benefits, I share more, you share less.

Jason smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you interested?" The East Indies are fertile, rich in grain, and have a large amount of coal, iron ore, colonial ports and strongholds are also ready-made, as long as His Majesty nods, this land will be jointly managed by the United Kingdom of England and the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, in addition, the land area of the Indian subcontinent is very large, there are hundreds of lords on this continent, the Ming Dynasty with the East Indies as a stronghold, sooner or later can annex the Indian subcontinent in one fell swoop. ”

Zhu Jun nodded: "This is a good suggestion, I will arrange for the cabinet to discuss some specific matters with you, and I will not let Britain suffer." Zhu Jun gave Jason an encouraging look, so that Jason was in good spirits, what he didn't know was that if there was no rise of the Ming Dynasty, the British would defeat the Dutch ten years later, and buy the Dutch East Indies colony in the East Indies, and this fertile land became the most brilliant jewel in the queen's crown in later generations, and also gave Britain's industrial revolution sufficient primitive accumulation of funds, and finally opened the prototype of modern industry.

Sent off Jason, Zhu Jun rushed back to the harem, it was really a happy event and the spirit was refreshing, the battle of Jiangnan won a big victory, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has expanded to the East China Sea in the east, Java in the south, Sichuan in the west, and nearly five million square kilometers of land in the Yangtze River in the north, and the population has reached at least 15 million. The industrial and scientific research capabilities of the Ming Dynasty gradually began to get on the track, the strength of the number of people is great, Europe in the early Qing Dynasty began to gradually lead in science and culture, but after all, it was limited by the population, and once the Ming Dynasty started industrialization, its achievements are by no means comparable to Europe.

For this purchase of the East Indies, Zhu Jun is still cautious, the Indian subcontinent is simply a natural place of colony, where there is not only fertile land, rich in minerals, but also tens of millions of docile people, the Ming can even organize a colonial army there, as long as their religious habits are respected, they will not be afraid of rising up.

Zhu Jun hated colonial rule very much, but the modern industrial revolution must go through painful primitive accumulation, requiring a large number of capitalists and painful laborers, rather than exploiting their own people, it is better to exploit other nations, this world is backward to be beaten, rather than being beaten by others, it is better to beat others.

Zhu Jun has not been happy for two days. A court-to-court debate began. The controversy was caused by the victory in the Battle of Gangnam. First of all, it was a seven-grade local official to give the matter. Since the opening of the Ming Dynasty, there have been six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers opposite to the six departments. Each subject is set up to be in the middle of the thing, left and right to the middle of the thing, and in the middle of the thing. The six departments are in charge of attendants, admonishments, gleaning, and mending. to inspect the affairs of the six departments and hundreds of divisions. It can be sealed and returned. The banknote is sparse. Inspections are irregular. Although the grade is very low. But the power is huge. Become a supervisory authority. It not only assists the emperor in handling government affairs, but also supervises the six ministries. Correction officials. Even if he saw this kind of seven-grade petty official, he didn't dare to offend easily. Most of these officials are made up of young officials. They don't know officialdom. I don't know how to be tactful. But that's exactly what happened. Zhu Yuanzhang designed this set of rules. Checks and balances on senior officials.

Due to the victory of the Ming army in Jiangnan. Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hunan, southern Hubei, southern Jiangsu and other places have recovered. A voice began to be heard in the imperial court to move the capital to Nanjing. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing has been the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Zhu Jingnan, the king of Yan, began to move the capital to Beijing. Nanjing began to be used as the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It has become the place where the princes of the past dynasties have sitting. Nanjing also has six departments. Its status is on a par with Beijing's. and followed Zhu Jun into the Burmese officials. Most of them were officials from the six ministries of Nanjing. It can be said to be the main force of Zhongxing. Therefore, it moved from Haidu to Nanjing. Making Nanjing the center of the empire was echoed by many. Even Mu Tianbo and Yang Side were wavering.

"Your Majesty. Nanjing is the land of the Ming Dynasty. Now the emperor has all over the world. Sit back and enjoy the world. Someone should be responsible for repairing the Nanjing Palace. Move the capital at a later date. to meet the hope of all the people. ”

"yes. Nanjing is a land of abundance. Both the establishment and the palace are ready-made. The sea is good. But after all, it is a barbarian land. How can I stay for a long time? ”

After the ministry spoke in the matter, it immediately attracted the support of countless court bigwigs, and everyone agreed to move the capital to Nanjing and take the sea capital as the accompanying capital.

Zhu Jun doesn't see it that way, Nanjing was indeed the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but Haidu is no longer a wild place, these officials only want to recover the land of the Heavenly Empire, and they don't have much interest in the land of Diyi, but Zhu Jun is interested, the sea is in Nanyang, once the capital is moved to Nanjing, then the Ming Dynasty's control over Nanyang will be weakened, once there are ethnic minorities rebelling under the banner of national ** in the future, how will the Ming army respond? And the capital is located in Haidu to reduce this concern, the garrison of the capital is not vegetarian, and Haidu continues to become the capital, will also increase the population of the Han people, decades later, the proportion of Han people in Nanyang is getting higher and higher, and the population of various ethnic groups will also decrease, only in this way, the Han people can occupy the dove's nest and take the entire Nanyang as their own.

In fact, the center of the contradiction is not the land of Longxing, nor is it the Diyi wilderness, the main thing is the gap in understanding, the officials believe that the world is the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and Zhu Jun hesitated the vision of future generations, and has included the whole world in his mind, China is not the center of the world, the whole world has more fertile land than Jiangnan and the Central Plains, if you can't occupy it in advance during this period, then after a few hundred years, once the national border is stable, it will be hundreds or thousands of times more difficult to seize.

The ministers said that it was one set after another, quoting scriptures, first talking about the first emperor, then talking about Taizu, and then talking about the country, gossiping, it can be said that there are good reasons, but Zhu Jun also agrees at all, Haidu is the center of the South Seas, and it is extremely convenient to reach Europe from the Indian subcontinent, Africa, and even by sea.

Zhu Jun still uses the old method, one word, drag. Say whatever you want, scold as you want, buddy doesn't give Zhu criticism, what can you do with buddy. The ministers made a fuss for a long time, and seeing that Zhu Jun was unmoved, they were helpless, you said so much nonsense, and people didn't listen to it at all. So some smart people began to play roundabout tactics, suggesting that the emperor still set the capital of Haidu, and set Nanjing as the accompanying capital.

Zhu Jun did not object to this compromise idea, after all, Nanjing is the heart of the central country, and the establishment of a companion capital there can not only place the crown prince, let him be familiar with government affairs in the companion capital, but also play a role in stabilizing people's hearts, so with a wave of the pen, let people announce the decree.

Regarding some readers saying populism, the younger brother really doesn't know how to answer, here is only anti-Manchu, and there is no oppressive policy for ethnic minorities of other ethnic groups, and the reason why it is anti-Manchurian is probably already introduced earlier, so there is no need to go into detail.
