"The sin of deceit!"

Zhang Gui replied, and said: "You colluded with my Ming traitors, harmed Lingnan, and attempted to subvert my Ming court; He also rented Haojing from the Governor of Liangguang without permission, without the permission of the Central Court of the Ming Dynasty. Pile by pile, all belong to the crime of defrauding the king. Therefore, you, the governor, and the officials under your name must be punished by the Ming Dynasty, and your soldiers and hired laborers will also be condemned as slaves and exiled to the outside of the Guan, and serve my Ming Dynasty for a hundred years! ”

Saying that, Zhang Gui said again: "You can choose to resist, but the premise is that you can defeat the guns in our hands." ”

Luo Lang's eyes suddenly widened, and he roared at Zhang Gui: "You are the devil!" A bunch of abominable devils! ”

Zhang Guitang smiled: "You shouldn't face this Taishi with this attitude, it's not good for you." ”

After Luo Lang also heard Zhang Gui's words, he was immediately deflated, and after hanging his head, he couldn't say anything, and after a while, he said, "Can you forgive us once, even if we let us be your dogs?" ”

"To be my Daming's dog is also to talk about qualifications, not everyone can be my Daming's dog."

Zhang Gui replied.

Next, Luo Lang and these outsiders were all put on the ship, waiting to be disposed of or directly assigned to the Han people as slaves outside the Guan.

As for all the facilities and administrative, medical, and educational institutions of Haojing, they were taken over by the Ming court.

"The trade in Ho Ho Kung still has to continue, and a circular has been issued to all countries and states allowing them to continue to come to Ho Ho Ho to participate in trade activities, including the Petite Franc (Portugal)."

After Zhang Gui took over Haojing, he issued a new Jun order, saying that he would continue to welcome all countries to trade here in Haojing, and also specially set up a new city department here, which was promoted by Xu Renlong, the inspector of Guangdong, and the city department to manage the internal and external affairs of Haojing.

At this moment, Liu Zongmin came to report to Zhang Gui that five Dutch armed merchant ships had come to Haojing, but before they arrived at the port, they turned back.

After hearing this, Zhang Gui hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and chase it back!" ”

The sea of this era, according to the original history, belonged to the Dutch.

The small nation of the Netherlands rose to prominence in this era, known as the coachman of the seas, with a large number of merchant ships, and became the new hegemon in global trade.

Therefore, during this period of history, the Dutch also repeatedly attacked Haojing, wanting to take away this important trading place in the hands of Portugal.

It's just that the Portuguese also attach great importance to Haojing, and they have always been very tenacious.

Of course, the Dutch's attack on Hao Jing was still far worse than that of Daming.

Therefore, the Portuguese in Ho Jing were able to resist the attack of the Dutch, but they could not resist the Ming Dynasty.

These five armed merchant ships of the Netherlands originally came in the name of trade with the intention of taking the mirror.

But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they came to the vicinity of Haojing, they found a large number of Ming warships gathered here, and the scene was like a water snake strayed into a crocodile pile, which frightened the five Dutch armed merchant ships to turn back to India on the spot.

"We paid the tax, we paid!"

It's just that what the five Dutch merchant ships didn't expect was that the Ming warships also discovered them and stopped them with faster ships, and because of this, the leader of the five Dutch merchant ships, General Cohen, hurriedly handed over their tax payment vouchers to Huang Binqing, the Ming army commander who met them, and wanted to prove that he came here legally.

Originally from the Ming Dynasty after the control of Batavia City, the West Factory has already set up a customs in Batavia City, requiring passing merchant ships to pay customs duties, otherwise once they enter the South Seas, it will be regarded as illegally entering the territorial waters of the Ming Dynasty, once it is found, all the money will be confiscated, not to mention, and once it is plundered by the pirates, it will not uphold justice for it.

In doing so, the West Factory can be regarded as beginning to realize Zhang Gui's idea of setting up a West Factory in Tianqi for the first time, determined to collect taxes all over the world.

Although the city of Batavia, which the Dutch built themselves, was occupied and slaughtered, they still had to accept this rule, and obediently paid the customs duties before entering the South Seas.

After all, for the Dutch in Xiyi, they couldn't do without the trade of the Ming Dynasty.

Who allowed Spain, Portugal and other Western countries to rob a lot of gold and silver back to China after discovering the American continent and starting global trade, which led to the wealth of the whole of Europe, and the demand for exquisite goods was very high.

And the nature that can provide these exquisite goods is dominated by the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is a representative of the productive forces of this era, and there are many exquisite handicrafts that can be exported.

Therefore, even if the Dutch refused to trade with the Ming Dynasty, they shipped goods from the Ming Dynasty and returned to Europe to trade in exchange for profits.

Even if Daming occupied his Batavia City and slaughtered their people, it would not affect their desire to come to Daming to make a fortune.

This is also a place where Daming can be unscrupulous now.

As long as there are Gentiles who want to make money from him, then he can do whatever he wants.

Therefore, the enemy who really hinders the Ming Dynasty is still internal.

As long as the elites of the Ming Dynasty give up the way of not suppressing their own Han people to obtain wealth, do not desperately prevent the country from feeding the domestic people by plundering the foreign people, do not only think about maximizing their own interests, and even do not hesitate to collude with the foreign Yi and kidnap the imperial court to kidnap the king to further oppress their own Han people, it will not lead to hundreds of millions of Han people finally being ruled by less than 100,000 Manchus for more than 200 years.

The key is that as long as we pay a little attention to national interests and the rights and interests of our compatriots, the strength shown by the Ming Dynasty is enough to crush the so-called rising Western powers in this era.

For example, now, Da Ming only talked about the supremacy of the interests of the nation and the country a little, and only proposed that the Han people should be above the foreign people, did not propose that everyone is equal within the Han people, nor did it propose the supremacy of the interests of the Han people, and it has already burst out with great strength.

The large number of warships created by the power of the state has crushed the Dutch to the point of fear, and the soft power has also forced them to do business obediently even if they are slaughtered.

In the original history, because the Ming court did not do this, and was even deliberately prevented by its own bureaucracy from distributing global interests, all the benefits brought by global trade to the Ming Dynasty went into the private pockets of local wealthy families, and were used by local wealthy families to build all kinds of gorgeous gardens and raise a large number of beautiful wives and concubines, but the imperial court has always been very short of money, and the people have always been very short of money.

Therefore, there are a lot of private gardens in the Ming Dynasty, and it is a scholar who repairs the garden and stacks the rocks and mountains.

And now, the money for building private gardens has been turned into warships, which naturally shows terrible military strength.

After Cohen took out the voucher tremblingly, Huang Binqing didn't look at it, but only instructed the interpreter beside him: "Tell him that our overseer wants to see him!" ”

So, not long after, Cohen and the Dutchmen saw Zhang Gui in Haojing, and honestly knelt in front of Zhang Gui, explaining again: "We are here to trade, really just to trade, and we have no other thoughts." We have proof of tax payment. ”

Zhang Gui looked at the voucher because of this, and said: "My Ming Dynasty welcomes merchant ships to trade, as long as you abide by the rules, I Ming will not embarrass you, and will even provide you with protection." ”

"The First Evolution"

As he spoke, Zhang Gui asked, "What business are you going to do in Haojing?" ”

After hearing this, Cohen hurriedly replied, "Buy some silk, tea, and porcelain to go to Japan." ”

Japan is also rich now because of Iwami Ginzan, and there is a great demand for Ming goods.

Therefore, the Dutch merchant ships will basically bring in a large number of Ming goods in Haojing to sell in Japan, and then use the money earned in Japan, and then return to Haojing to buy a large number of Ming goods, and then go back to Europe to sell, which is equivalent to running two trips to trade a year and making money twice.

Zhang Gui also asked: "Why did you go to Japan?" ”

This Cohen also explains why.

Zhang Gui couldn't help but think about other things after hearing this, but he didn't say it explicitly, and only continued to ask: "Do you have any slave trade?" ”
