Chapter 140, Mingfa Alliance VS Eight-Nation Alliance?
In fact, Mingyuan coupons have appeared a long time ago.
But now the Ming Dynasty has always been a situation where physical money and paper money go hand in hand.
Merchants and ordinary people now have a certain level of trust in Mingyuan coupons.
In fact, the Chinese people naturally do not trust paper money.
As early as the Song Dynasty, the paper money that appeared in the Song Dynasty, due to the lack of basic financial knowledge in the imperial court, led to the end of the paper money of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, which ended up being almost the same, depreciated rapidly, and soon became a pile of waste paper.
However, the Ming Yuan Coupon is different, which is a silver standard currency that can be exchanged for the corresponding precious metal at face value.
Redeem the ticket at sight, which establishes a very strong Ming Yuan coupon
Now Zhu Daohua is asking the Ming Royal Bank to reduce the issuance of physical currency step by step, and gradually replace the silver and copper coins in the Ming Yuan system with the de facto paper money of the Ming Yuan Bill.
This is to promote the reform of the financial system of the Ming Dynasty.
Daming Royal Bank is the de facto central bank of East Asia.
At the same time, it is now the largest support bank for East-West trade.
Every year, a considerable part of the gold and silver dug up from South America goes into the treasury of the Royal Bank of Daming - who makes the proportion of the trade surplus of the Ming Dynasty now greater than that of the world factories of later generations.
Therefore.
The current Daming Royal Bank is strong enough to issue convertible banknotes.
"The implementation of the "Banking Law" is not only to start replacing silver coins and copper coins with Ming Yuan coupons, but also to rectify the current silver and copper coin market. This is not just to make money, this is to promote the industry and prosper the market! ”
Zhu Daohua said.
What is capitalism?
It's either money or capitalism.
It is capitalism to circulate capital and turn money into capital.
So, what is money?
Money is actually a special commodity, which is equivalent to precious metals in this era.
Silver, gold, these are all money.
At present, there is definitely no shortage of silver in Huaxia.
From the middle of the Ming Dynasty, after the opening of the Age of Discovery, the world market was formed, and the world's silver began to flow into China in large quantities.
Let China, a country that originally had no precious metal mineral resources, become the country with the most precious metals in the world.
And there are many wealthy people in East Asia.
There are the so-called five major merchant gangs: Cantonese merchants, Hui merchants, Jin merchants, Zhejiang merchants, and Su merchants.
But if there is money, it is not capital.
The obvious contrast between this point is Zhu Daohua and the merchants of the Thirteen Lines.
If we talk about the total capital.
The money of these Guangdong businessmen must be much more than the liquid capital in Zhu Daohua's hands.
But the money of Guangdong merchants is dead money, and it can only lie in the moldy kind of warehouse.
It doesn't yield much benefit.
But Zhu Daohua's money.
That's hot money.
Always in circulation.
Ability to drive more money with that money.
That's capital.
Flowing money.
So make the market active.
Relying on Zhu Daohua's money alone is not enough.
It was also necessary to pry out all the moldy silver buried in the cellars of the local tyrants.
Let the money participate in the market circulation.
Turn these precipitated funds into fuel to promote the industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty.
And in the process.
Both the bank and the Ming court can get huge benefits.
At present, there are many "convertible banknotes" in the world like Ming Yuan coupons.
But no one really issues a 100 percent reserve banknote.
It's not too much to have a silver coin and issue a silver dollar coupon for three dollars and five dollars.
The difference between the reserve and the actual amount of money issued.
These are the capitals created out of thin air.
these capitals.
It is the capital to support the Ming Dynasty to continue the war!
With the support of a bank that controls the financial order in East Asia, it is impossible for the Ming to be short of money.
And as the territory of the Ming Dynasty grows, the more banknotes this bank can issue.
The expansion of the Ming Dynasty.
And not just the expansion of military hegemony.
It also includes the expansion of industrial hegemony and financial hegemony.
Only when expansion is profitable, will the future Ming court embark on the evil road of competing for colonies all over the world.
"With the two-pronged approach of issuing bonds and banknotes, it is impossible for the Ming court to be short of money in the short term, so don't worry about the private money of the lonely king."
After Zhu Daohua finished speaking, he changed the topic.
"How is the group training in Fujian, Zhejiang and Sichuan provinces? Did Sun Shiyi and Dong He respond? ”
Hearing this, Luo Fangbo hurriedly said: "They also hope to return to the township, and they are willing to disband the group training on the premise of retaining their property." ”
Zhu Daohua snorted coldly when he heard this: "Do these people think that shrinking into a ball can make the Lone King cast a rat trap?" ”
"They probably think that you might allow them to keep their land and property and go home compared to the cost of the siege."
Luo Fangbo shook his head and said.
"It seems that they think the blade of the Lone King is not sharp enough, are you ready for it over there in Fujian?"
Zhu Daohua asked.
"It's all ready, General Zhao Si has arrived in Fuzhou with three brigades and 10,000 people, and you will start storming Fuzhou City as soon as you give the order."
"King Lone, let the Generalissimo's Mansion give an order, to catch a model, let these regiment training leaders know the price of stubborn resistance!"
Zhu Daohua said.
This typical example is the local wealthy family in Fuzhou.
The Jinghai Hou Shi family of the Qing Dynasty.
It is the descendant of Shi Lang, who led the army to conquer the Ming Zheng regime.
After all, everyone knows.
This Shi family was the executioner of the last regime to hold the banner of the Ming Dynasty.
It will definitely not be accepted and understood by the new Ming now.
So this model is just right.
No one will think that the Ming methods are cruel and can deter the regimental training of various provinces.
After Zhu Daohua finished speaking, he couldn't help but think of something.
"Grand Duke Lin should be coming back, right?"
Zhu Daohua asked.
"According to the plan, he should be back before the Chinese New Year, and it will be about three months."
Trimester...
I don't know what the situation is on the European side now.
Louis XVI should have been caught?
The French Republic should have been formed.
The British-led anti-French coalition should also begin to assemble and prepare for an attack on France.
What made Zhu Daohua even more concerned was the reaction of the British.
During this time, the British East India Company was ready to move, and there were even raids on Ming merchant ships.
These made Zhu Daohua realize that with the advancement of the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty.
The industrial competition between the Ming and the United Kingdom has begun.
And this was the British Empire's highest priority for resolving competition.
That is, force.
on this.
Zhu Daohua believes that it is necessary for him to be prepared.
Even when necessary.
Seek to station an intervention fleet in Western Europe!
Just where to station?
.......
At this moment.
A fleet flying the Sun and Moon flags sailed past the Cape of Good Hope.
The type of ship used in this fleet was an improved version of the Chinese Big Bird boat.
Not much artillery was equipped.
But the advantage is stronger in load capacity and endurance.
The escort flotilla of the fleet was eight brigs.
These ships were armed with 90 mm front-loading rifled guns, which were much more powerful than the wooden tail arrow shells previously used.
Previously, the kinetic energy of the shells of the bombardment guns used by the Ming army was not enough to penetrate the planks of the sail battleships, so only an arrow with barbs could be installed on the warhead.
It is used to explode on the board of the ship.
The steel-hulled shells now in use have enough kinetic energy to penetrate the planks of any sail battleship and send the shells into the hold of the enemy ship and explode.
On a large bird ship.
Lin Dagong, the former consul general of the Ming Dynasty in Europe, looked at the calm and waveless sea, but he was still thinking about the amazing news he brought back from Europe.
The first was the formation of the Anti-Ming Alliance.
The British took the lead.
There were Spaniards, Portuguese, Dutch, Austrians, Ottomans.
There are also two states in Germany, the Electorate of Hanover and the Duchy of Oldenburg, which have close ties to the British.
A full eight European countries formed the Eight-Nation Alliance, which formed the Coalition in the name of safeguarding the international order and European interests.
Of course.
The people who could send the fleet were the British, the Spaniards, and the Dutch.
The British and Dutch sent their fleets from the mainland, first to the Indian colonies.
The Spanish fleet departed from the Spanish Viceroyalty of New Spain, which was Mexico.
The Viceroyalty of New Spain had a fleet greater than the Spanish fleet in Europe.
For the Spaniards, the Viceroyalty of New Spain and the New Spain-Manila trade route were their lifeblood.
And now both lifelines are threatened by the newly rising Ming - the Ming and the Qing are obviously very different, they have a very strong interest in the sea, once they find a Pacific route to the Americas, then the Spanish colonies in the Americas will face the threat of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the Spaniards, mainly New Spain, were very strong against this anti-Ming alliance.
And at about the same time as the anti-Ming League, there was also an anti-French alliance.
There are six countries participating in this alliance.
Under the leadership of the Holy Roman Emperor Franz II.
The British Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Spanish Empire, the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of Sardinia formed an alliance and prepared to encircle them from all sides by land.
Eliminate the newly revolutionary French Republic and restore the order of European royal rule.
Several core countries of the anti-Ming and anti-French alliances overlapped.
Therefore, this anti-Ming and anti-French alliance can basically be regarded as the same alliance.
And so it goes.
The fledgling French Republic naturally sought to warm up with the Ming Dynasty – mainly in the hope of getting support from the Ming Dynasty.
Including economic and military support.
The French Republic could exchange some European technology and intelligence.
The two sides can even form an alliance.
Now Louis de Saint-Just, the special envoy of Maximilien Robespierre, president of the National Assembly of the French Republic, the revolutionary fighter of the French revolutionary Jacobins, and a close friend and close comrade-in-arms of Mark, stood by the side of the Grand Duke Lin.
"Your Excellency, the Mingfa Alliance is not something I can decide, only with the permission of King Ming. However, the Ming Dynasty will certainly assist France in its glorious and just struggle against aggression. ”
Grand Duke Lin turned his head to look at the unpretty, Louis de Saint-Just, and said.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.
Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.
Where is this?
Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.
A single dormitory?
Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.
And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.
With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.
The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was a success......
The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.
He's a different guy altogether!
Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?
In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"
Postpartum Care for Pet Animals
"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"
Shi Yu: ???
The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?
"Ahem."
Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.
Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.
