Chapter 33: The Three Pillars of King Ming
The Southeast Asian countries could only sell things to the Dutch, and they could even sell whatever the Dutch needed.
And now.
Countries can freely come to Batam to trade.
Just pay taxes.
There are no restrictions on the types and scale of trade goods, or the objects of trade.
It's certainly clear which option is better.
Except for the Dutch, who originally enjoyed an exclusive monopoly.
Southeast Asian countries.
European countries.
Everyone can get certain benefits under this rule.
not to mention.
This set of trade rules is based on the control of the Ming Dynasty’s maritime power in the South China Sea.
As long as there is no force that can threaten the navy of Prince Ming's palace.
Then this set of rules can continue to operate.
One that can benefit most people.
At the same time, there are rules that provide the backing and support of absolute force.
Naturally, it will not be opposed by most people.
And there is a Dutchman in front of him.
The conditions given by Zhu Daohua and the benefits shared simply made the countries in Southeast Asia exclaim that they are good people.
However, the Nanyang countries are more worried about the force of the Westerners.
Zhu Daohua gave two plans for this.
The first is to declare a vassal state.
If it becomes a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it will naturally be protected by the Ming Dynasty.
Of course.
If you claim a vassal title, you must abide by the rules of the vassal.
You need to sign a [Zong-vass Agreement].
It will stipulate in detail the rights and obligations between sects and vassals.
If Zhu Daohua doesn't want to call him a vassal, it doesn't matter.
The Ming Palace can sell weapons, help train officers, and help countries build a new army.
The number of such armies does not need to be large.
With one or two brigades, it will not be easy for Western countries to take down a country armed with "Ming-style" weapons.
Such conditions.
The envoys from various countries who came to Batam couldn't help but sigh.
Compared with the benevolent King of China.
Those colonists from the West are as vicious as the devils crawling out of hell.
And after the Nanyang Trade Conference was successfully held.
The Ming Palace could rely on the Free City of Batam, the Ming Yuan, and the Ming Army, plus Zhu Daohua's translation of "European Kingdoms" and the articles he wrote, and it could rely on this trading system to spread the word.
Ideology, coinage, military superiority.
These are the three pillars Zhu Daohua set for the Ming Palace - wouldn't a certain country in later generations rely on this scourge...well, to lead the world?
"Your Majesty, the Japanese envoy has arrived and is now visiting the Army and Navy Academy?"
After walking a few steps, officials came in a hurry - due to the shortage of horses in Nanyang, not all officials of the Ming Palace could match horses.
"oh?"
Zhu Daohua's eyes lit up.
Compared with the Southeast Asian countries.
With a population of 30 million, Japan is obviously a big country.
And there are more than 600,000 samurai in Japan who can kill people.
Japan is also a key springboard from East Asia to North America.
Zhu Daohua obviously paid more attention to it.
He turned to Shi Xianggu beside him and said: "Prioritize the meeting with the Japanese envoy."
Shi Xianggu nodded: "I will write it down right now."
Shi Xianggu is also very busy these days.
During the day, I worked as secretary to King Ming.
I also worked as a secretary to King Ming in the evening.
One person works two jobs.
Fortunately, Shi Xianggu is on the boat all year round and is as energetic and energetic as a little wild cat.
On the contrary, Boss Zhu has been feeling a little sore in his back recently.
On the way back.
Another piece of news was delivered to Zhu Daohua.
"The Qing Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangdong sent Guangdong Green Camp guerrilla Lin Guoliang and a dozen Qing soldiers to Lanfang to promote Liu Qianxing as the general training officer of the regiment. There are also other countries in Borneo that are also in secret contact with the Liu family."
Zhu Daohua gave the letter in his hand to Shi Xianggu.
The intelligence department of the Ming Palace relied on the system of the Tiandihui to operate.
Lanfang surnames
"Your Majesty, the Liu family has eight thousand thugs, and the natives of Borneo can also raise an army of tens of thousands. The total number may not be less than eighty thousand, and the Luo Consul may not be able to withstand it."
Shi Xianggu said.
"It doesn't matter... The Liu family and all the native tribes in Borneo are just a bunch of people, so there's nothing to worry about. I'm just worried that I can't find an excuse to deal with them!"
Zhu Daohua thought for a while and said: "Since they took the initiative to give me a blow, we would be embarrassed if we didn't fight, but we have to fight a little harder..."
"Why don't we invite envoys from various countries to Borneo to watch the ceremony in the name of marrying Princess Ming and enthroning Grand Duke Lanfang!"
If you want a slap in the face.
How can it be done without an audience?
...........
Go slap me in the face and show the audience that it’s not urgent.
There were no railways or highways in this era, and the concentration of troops and materials was very slow.
Moreover, Sanfa is hundreds of kilometers away from Pontianak.
Even if the Liu family and the Borneo countries gathered their troops before setting off from Batam, it would still be too late.
Therefore Zhu Daohua is not in a hurry.
He even hoped for this battle.
In one battle, the Liu family was wiped out and all the countries in Borneo were forced to surrender.
This way.
The country of Lanfang in Borneo will have no worries.
It can become a source of raw materials and food that Zhu Daohua can stably control.
Moreover, there are also many people in Lanfang who "love the Qing Dynasty".
Don't slap your mouth back and forth harshly.
How could some people in Lan Fangguo be convinced?
Before raising troops to go north later in the year.
There can't be any hidden dangers here in Nanyang.
Zhu Daohua hurried along the newly smoothed road on horseback.
He raised his hand to salute the guards of Mingwang Fort, then dismounted and walked into the living room.
At this time, the Tokugawa brothers and sisters and Matsudaira Kari were already waiting.
Seeing Zhu Daohua coming in a hurry.
The three of them stood up hurriedly.
"The younger brother of the great king of Japan, Tokugawa Zhiguo, met His Highness Prince Mei."
The Tokugawa shogunate was known internally as "the general who conquered the barbarians".
Externally, he acts in the name of the "Maharaja of Japan."
"Please get up quickly and sit down..."
Zhu Daohua walked to the main seat, stretched out his hand and smiled politely.
Compared with Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
His Highness Prince Ming really has no airs.
There is no need to ask people to kneel down to speak, nor is it said "I'll give you a seat", but "Please sit down".
The three of them couldn't help but look up at Zhu Daohua.
In the eyes of the three of them, Zhu Daohua's height was like a giant.
He is tall, with broad shoulders and a handsome face. He wears a narrow-sleeved long coat and trousers that are convenient for riding. They are both coarse gray cloth robes. The thin belt around his waist is also a cowhide belt without any decoration. He only wears it on his head. The crown of her bun is inlaid with a white jade.
Tokugawa Manji secretly observed Zhu Daohua.
His face began to turn red unconsciously.
Hiding behind Tokugawa Zhiguo with his head lowered, he did not dare to speak.
This time she came with Tokugawa Zhiguo and Matsudaira Ietoshi.
If nothing else happens.
She will stay in Batam and serve King Zhu Ming.
The girl is pregnant.
Now I can see that the king's weapons are majestic.
The talent of the samurai family far exceeds that seen in Japan - well, I don't know if there is talent, but handsome is definitely not handsome.
Think of this.
Tokugawa Miki couldn't help but glance at Zhu Daohua secretly.
His face became even more rosy.
Until Zhu Daohua said please sit down.
Only then did he dare to sit gently on the wide chair on one side.
Since Japan is accustomed to sitting on its knees, Tokugawa Miki was a little uncomfortable sitting in such a spacious chair.
