The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Mr. David's main occupation is a naval officer, and his deputy is very interested in studying the climate of various places. He is a senior researcher at the Naval Meteorological Observatory. He also likes to study tidal hydrology and marine life. He is an erudite person.

During the dull days on the warship, he has been studying ocean storms, and now that the days are over, he gives a forecast.

"Look at the wind and waves on the sea. Although the weather is still very good, the storm is coming!" Mr. David pointed out the signs before the storm.

There are high clouds in the sky, and feather-like clouds appear in the east, which are constantly thickening into cirrostratus clouds, which means that the storm is coming from the east.

In the evening, the wind blows from the 6th place to the sea, and the daytime wind blows from the sea to the 6th place. However, the 6th ground and ocean winds of the last day have changed significantly.

"A long wave appeared on the sea! When the long wave subsided, the storm would not be far away!"

Mr. David said: "Our ship is very resistant to wind, but it may not be necessary after this battle. I think we should evacuate this area. It is better to leave early than late!"

What he was talking about was that the warship had fought a battle and was in poor condition, and it was difficult to survive the storm.

While Yan Changwu was still pondering, Gan Hui brought in an experienced old sailor and said the same thing.

In that case, Yan Changwu felt that the time was not yet ripe for attacking Batavia, so he proclaimed the end of the battle and retreated immediately!

Although the Dutch lost, their strength still existed, and the opponent was facing a critical moment of life and death, they resisted fiercely. Yan Changwu didn't want to fight hard, and left the siege.

They left overnight, and the Dutch gasped for breath. How dare to pursue them, they announced that the Southeast Army was unable to fight again. Our East India Company had the last laugh and won!

...

They set off on a boat that night, took the Dutch ship and more than 800 prisoners, and returned to the fire to avoid the storm.

In fact, there is a way to save trouble, and that is to negotiate with Batavia and ask them to pay for the ransom.

However, although Yan Changwu got into Qian's eyes, he thought it would be more face to take the captives to the Tainan parade, so the Hong Maofan captives had to go to the Southeast Mansion with him.

They left properly, and three days later, the typhoon hit the sea, and the waves were fierce.

...

The Southeast Fleet was rubbed by the tail of the typhoon, the ship was swaying, and the whole was safe and sound. Everyone used it as a massage to their bodies.

Everyone is thinking about how much we will gain from this victory. Compared with the last draw, this time we are proud and the guinea pig is ashamed. The boss should be rewarded again!

Yan Changwu was never stingy about military merits. He fully learned the lessons of the Ming and Qing dynasties before he came. The Ming Dynasty founding emperor Zhu Chongba was so small that his descendants treated the soldiers meagrely. How could he let the soldiers die!

Emperor Chongzhen killed himself again, and killed the **** who could help him make money and carry out the evil for him. He would not levy business taxes, nor impose a ban on seas, nor would he be rewarded if he wanted to.

However, the second Jinchuan battle in which Emperor Qianlong of the Braid Dynasty fought the natives of western Sichuan, which lasted five years, killed and injured more than 10,000 people, and consumed 700,000 taels of silver!

There was a lot of corruption, but a large part of the corruption still fell into the hands of the soldiers!

There are even more legitimate rewards. The pigtails poured silver to the emperor to award the soldiers who participated in the war. In this way, if the barbarians are also defeated, the pigtails will be victorious.

When the emperor was worthy of the general, he dared to kill the general and the officers and soldiers. He had a choice when he had money, and he was not afraid that the soldiers would be disobedient, which was the opposite of the situation of the Ming emperor.

But this hand was fine in the civil war, but it was not in the foreign war. More than 200 million Maguan indemnities, if the old woman would think, with more than 200 million silver to build 100 Zhenyuan, it would have flattened Wadao long ago. !

It took more than twice as long to return to the old road, but the southeast officials were more relaxed and happy. After passing Champa, take a rest. The Champaans heard that the Southeast Army had defeated the Dutch. They were greatly admired and treated with hospitality. Leave more time, or ask Gaoming.

The Southeast Army returned home like an arrow, declined the kindness, and continued on the road.

However, the atmosphere is different before arriving in Hoi An. There are several Mingren ships moored outside the port, which is very unusual!

Seeing the arrival of the southeast warship, the Mingren ships burst into cheers!

They released the small boat and carried people over. Soon, Yan Changwu knew the clues. It was a matter of inferiority.

Previously, the Southeast Fleet threatened that the Nguyen Dynasty’s taxation of Ming people’s maritime merchants must be fair, but Master Ruan still attached great importance to it. Under the proposal of his military adviser Tao Weici, the Ming people’s maritime merchants agreed to collect three thousand taels of silver from the customs ships, and no more Other miscellaneous expenses will be announced and implemented.

This makes sense. Mingren and maritime merchants expressed satisfaction, but the subordinates of the customs, who were responsible for tax collection and reception, quit!

The salary they received from the Nguyen Dynasty was meager, and they needed tips to help their families. That was gray income, which was extortion. No other charges were allowed. That was not killing them!

It was supposed to be a matter of the internal distribution mechanism of the Nguyen Dynasty. They could make requests to their superiors, but they neither dared to challenge their superiors, and were accustomed to receiving tips from Ming people and maritime merchants. Only a few days after the Nguyen Dynasty’s decree came out, they settled down again. Charge a tip to come.

Everyone knows that people in the celestial dynasty inherited the idea of ​​being afraid of troubles and holding on to the idea that more is worse than less. When the other party asks for a small amount of money, he also gives it.

A few or ten pieces of silver, give it!

The subordinates put away comfortably, until three days ago, a sea-going ship "Minglun" from Haicheng, Fujian arrived in Hoi An. The owner of the ship, Chen Hu, was a retired veteran of the Southeast Army. This guy came from the southeast mansion after retiring. He returned to his hometown and became a maritime merchant, selling silk to Hoi An.

As a result, when he passed the customs, the subordinates extorted him for money and kept saying ten yuan or ten yuan in Ming Dynasty Mandarin. Chen Hu refused to give it. He finally bought a shipment. There was still no market. Ten silver dollars can't be given, and it's the soldier's habit-----the soldiers of Young Master Yan never succumb to unrighteous actions, and they hold their chests high at all times!

The following things are logical, the two sides have disputes, Chen Hu's voice is loud and his attitude is clear: no money!

When the subordinates see hard stubbornness, how can they be allowed to run rampant? In case other bright people are doing the same, it is not breaking everyone's way, they all swarmed and fought!

Poor Chen Hu, uh, was beaten to death by the opponent's hand!

After the incident, the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce stepped in and demanded severe punishment of the perpetrators to protect the interests of Ming Shang.

The local government settled the matter and was willing to compensate one hundred taels of silver, punish the murderer and apologize.

It's just that during the negotiations, the officials got used to their previous positions. They were arrogant and arrogant. They kept saying that they were rewarded to you. One hundred taels of silver per person, we can afford it!

The Ming merchants were angry. They thought of being treated this way, maybe the same thing would fall on their own heads.

One hundred taels of silver and a life, I'm pooh!

The Ming merchants went on strike, and sea-going ships did not enter the port to unload their cargo. They demanded further processing from the Hoi An government until the Ming merchants were satisfied.

In the stalemate between the two sides, the Southeast Fleet is back, and now the Ming merchants have the backbone!

...

Gan Hui took the order of Mr. Yan ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to preside over the meeting, and asked everyone what to do?

After reaching a consensus, it was reported to Yan Changwu for approval. Hong Xiguan said: "This is different from the past. You are not suitable to go ashore in Gansu, so as not to be detained by the Annan Monkey."

He righteously said: "Let me go, I believe I will protect the face of my Southeast Mansion and the interests of Ming Shang."

Yan Zhang next to him knew what he was like, and said in a low voice, "This guy is most suitable to pretend to be b. If he doesn't pretend to be b for a day, he will feel uncomfortable!"

So official Hong Xi was ordered to go ashore to negotiate with the official Hoi An, and met with the local prefect Nguyen Phuc An. The two sides couldn't talk a word, Nguyen Phuc An was shocked to jump from his seat.

"What, ten people pay for one life?" Ruan Fuan exclaimed.
