What Zhang Juzheng was worried about was happening. Ming Dynasty was indeed gradually losing its product advantage.
The specific performance is as follows: the only ships that the Ming Dynasty can build are two-masted sailing ships with a load of 400 pieces. The three-masted ships and treasure ships that Yaowu made in the East and West during the Yongle period have become history. The shipyards in various parts of the Ming Dynasty have also already Lost the ability to build such a big ship.
The reason why we can still produce two-masted sailing ships is because the Ming Dynasty's sea ban did not prohibit two-masted ships from entering the sea.
Due to the long-term maritime ban, Ming Dynasty has lost its commodity advantage in the field of shipbuilding. Whether it is wood, tung oil, canvas, or ship design, Ming Dynasty's ships have fallen behind in all aspects.
Therefore, Francisco Sander, the governor of Luzon, wanted to sell the ship. The price was high and he also made extremely excessive demands.
Specifically:
First, the Xiaofolangji people have been occupying Haojing for decades. They, the Dafolangji people, are willing to make peace with the Ming Dynasty and beg Songjiang Prefecture for a piece of land to thrive.
Second, redefine tariffs from the previous uniform point-based tax to a tonnage tax. For example, if a ship has 200 tons, it will no longer be divided into points. Instead, no matter what is sold, it will be calculated and paid according to the tonnage tax.
Third, it is better than the tariffs of other countries. The Dafa Langji merchant ship only paid the full tax for the first time. After that, the ship only had to pay 1/3 of the first amount for each trade. Originally, a 200-ton ship, Pay 5,400 taels of silver in full as ton tax, and then 1,800 taels.
Fourth, the priority for purchasing goods. The quantity of raw silk is limited, and silk is a hard currency among hard currencies in Europe and the West. It is hard to get even a trace. The people of Dafo Langji require priority in purchasing, which is better than other countries.
Fifth, Legas, the special envoy of King Dafo Langji, hopes to make a pilgrimage to the capital of the Ming Dynasty in order to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty.
There were five requests in total, no matter which one made Daming feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
However, the Governor of Luzon made this rude request openly, and the Dafo Langji people only guaranteed that the ship could be sold, and it was up to them to confirm the number of ships sold and when they would be delivered.
The most important thing is that only full payment reservations are accepted. Whoever pays first will get the boat.
This year's large sailing ship arrived earlier than in the past. Due to time constraints, Yuegang did not have sufficient supply of raw silk. The advantage of Songjiang Prefecture, a thoroughfare to nine provinces, was reflected. Therefore, Francisco, Legaz and Captain Antonio The ship was moored at the Songjiang Shipping Department, waiting for the supply of raw silk.
"Governor, your arrogance will lead us to hell sooner or later." Antonio said rather distressed.
Even Antonio felt that Governor Francisco's conditions were too excessive. Only the fifth condition was still possible to be achieved.
The remaining conditions look like a joke from any angle, and Captain Antonio, who only wants to do business, is very dissatisfied with these conditions.
Francisco said quite calmly: "There is an old saying in the East, the lion opens his mouth wide. If the conditions we propose are too much, they can negotiate with us. If we say arrogance, the people in this land think that they are the world's most powerful people." The Kingdom of God has a higher status than all countries in the world, isn’t it more arrogant?”
"The Kingdom of Heaven? Humph."
Francisco's words were in Chinese, "Heaven is above the country, and heaven is obedient to the people." He was very disdainful of these words.
Antonio spread his hands and said: "They are indeed arrogant enough, but if I were the king of this land, I would also be arrogant. This place is really too rich. Raw silk that is equivalent to gold can be purchased here with only silver." , and the price is crazy cheap.”
"I have established a factory in Mexico and purchased three thousand Bigfoot people to process the raw silk and weave it into very beautiful silk, which I sold in Lisbon at the price of gold."
Legaz smiled and said: "Mr. Captain, why don't you talk about your mistress, the noble lady from France, Isabel, for a silk product, she was willing to show off her elegant and plump figure, she must be very tasty."
"Hahaha." In the hotel, hearty laughter came from the three people. Wealth brings enough social status, wealth brings more slaves, wealth can bring everything you want, even the noble All the aristocratic women are willing to admire her.
Antonio couldn't figure out how many titles the woman named Isabel had, but she was indeed a noble woman.
A middle-aged man with a rather elegant appearance wearing a linen shirt walked in, pushed up his glasses and said: "Three gentlemen, I don't want to disturb the three gentlemen, but there is one thing I must remind you. Official, a message has just been sent.”
"It's bad news. Officials of the Ming Dynasty have unilaterally prohibited our ships from purchasing raw silk, and the ban is permanent. Because our conditions offended them, they want to punish us."
"It is worth noting that this ban will apply in Yuegang and Songjiang Ports, and we will no longer be able to obtain raw silk legally."
"I don't think we should conflict with them because we can't defeat their navy. They have the local advantage. This is the Ming Dynasty."
"Their general named Yu Dayou seems to be a taboo existence in this land. Even the nobles here dare not show their arrogant side to General Yu Dayou."
This man is the first mate on the ship. He has one-sixth Roman ancestry. He comes from the seaside city of Lisbon, which is the capital of Portugal. The original meaning of Lisbon is: praising Caesar.
The first mate continued: "I heard the news that the nobles from the southern capital sent their children to General Yu Dayou to start as apprentices. They suffered a lot, but the nobles from the southern capital, Expressed gratitude to General Yu Dayou."
"In fact, it is absolutely impossible for our large sailing ship to defeat General Yu Dayou. Maybe a hundred are needed? I'm not sure."
The first mate saw General Yu Dayou's southern troops. Although he didn't see many, they were all elite and professional soldiers, and they couldn't be eliminated by an armed merchant ship.
When Antonio heard that the Ming Dynasty no longer allowed Dafo Langji people to buy raw silk, he immediately felt as sad as his dead father. He said angrily: "Mr. Governor, you have caused trouble again!"
"You have offended the majesty of the Ming Dynasty by opening your mouth like a lion! You kept emphasizing to me that the people of the Ming Dynasty are very face-conscious. As long as you respect them, you can get enough benefits. But how did you do it?"
"You're offending them!"
"This is a civilized world. They are not barbaric natives. When we give them respect, they will give us respect. When we don't respect them, they will not give us any respect. This is civilization!"
"Damn, I bought three thousand Bigfoots. If I can't get back the raw silk, these expensive Bigfoots that can weave cloth, I have to find a way to sell them again. I'll be damned!"
Francisco said indifferently: "I said before that as long as there is a chance, every Ming person will become a pirate. No one is loyal to their emperor. In fact, the Ming court always conservatively refuses trade. We can’t even trade with the Ming people until Moon Harbor appears.”
"Do you know what I did? The Ming court wanted to maintain the emperor's majesty, but the wealthy businessmen and nobles of the Ming Dynasty wanted to make money."
"So, we only need to secretly trade with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. You know, merchants are even willing to sell their souls to the devil for profit, and are not afraid of the storms on the sea and the barbaric natives."
The first mate said solemnly: "Mr. Governor, you may be disappointed. I have contacted some merchants or landlords, and they are very resistant to violating the ban. It seems that a noble family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has just been arrested several times. A piece of paper was destroyed."
"Captain Antonio, as the first mate on the ship, I do not recommend that my captain does this. This will further escalate the conflict. We have already offended Ming. If we continue to offend, something worse may happen."
"Captain, we are here to do business, and making money is our first goal, isn't it?"
After hearing the first mate's reminder, Antonio stood up, straightened his clothes, and said with a smile: "First mate Marcus, your reminder is really timely! I'm here to do business, you shit politicians , don’t even think about interfering with my business, don’t even think about it!”
"If necessary, I will chop off your head and give it to the Ming Emperor in exchange for understanding!"
Wang Daokun suspended the raw silk trade on the large sailing ship in order to divide the decision-making levels on the large sailing ship. Just as the interests of the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the powerful and wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty were not the same, Wang Daokun analyzed that the interests between them were also different.
The excessive demands of the Governor of Luzon were obviously contrary to the purpose of making a fortune, so Wang Daokun made a bold move and stopped the raw silk trade in order to divide the decision-making level of the galleons, cause them to have differences and infighting, and then actively reduce the excessive demands. requirements and continue to negotiate.
Wang Daokun didn't know that merchants, as an emerging class in Western Europe, had mastered the wealth and the majority of the right to speak. The merchants who were doing business everywhere were angry from their hearts and evil from their courage, and they wanted to kill the local governor. It's common, and there won't be too much punishment.
The world is so big that most of the governors in various places spent money to obtain the position of governor. The dead governor can continue to sell money.
The gameplay of Daming and Taixi is completely different, but contradictions are everywhere in everything.
Antonio was very angry because the governor's stupid decision caused him to lose a lot of wealth, which he would not allow to happen.
"You'd better find a way to atone for your crimes, damn it!" Antonio threw off his sleeves angrily and left the hotel room.
In the afternoon, Francisco finally came up with a more sincere offer and handed it to the general manager of Guanyi, who then passed it on to Ming Dynasty officials.
After Wang Daokun got it, he asked Tongshi to translate it accurately. He clearly knew that this note was somewhat sincere. It was sincere but not enough.
In the new five-article agreement, all except the fifth article have been modified, but they are still very rude.
Article 1: You are not required to kneel before an audience, but are greeted in the Burgundian etiquette.
Just this one item made Wang Daokun very embarrassed, and it was impossible for the Ministry of Rites to agree! The most important issue here is that in this bullshit Burgundian etiquette, people are not allowed to take a bath.
Therefore, these red-haired fans are always accompanied by a disgusting smell of body odor mixed with soju and pollen.
This smell was really unbearable for Wang Daokun. He met these envoys and could not understand the necessity of this etiquette of not bathing.
Do you still want to see His Majesty without taking a shower? The little emperor is stink, who will be responsible?
In order to negotiate with this group of people who claimed to be Dafolangji, Wang Daokun, after consulting with the internal official Zhang Cheng, the chief soldier of the Qianhu Luo Bingliang, and the Songjiang general Yu Dayou, Luo Bingliang of the Qianhu came forward and broke into the post. The governor of Luzon, the captain, the special envoy, and the first mate were thrown into the hot water pool and washed thoroughly amidst bursts of howling ghosts and wolves.
After forcing Hong Maofan to bathe, Wang Daokun finally summoned them.
Wang Daokun did not force the four of them to kneel on the ground to reply as required for the envoys of the vassal state in the "Notes on the Rituals of the Domain", but motioned for them to sit down.
Wang Daokun said: "It is etiquette to take a shower and change clothes."
"I heard that the general said that after your king's third queen had a difficult delivery, the doctors kept recommending a cleaner bed and bathing, but your king refused. In the end, the king's beloved queen died three days later? is that so?"
The general translated Wang Daokun's words very accurately.
Francisco was silent for a long time before saying: "That's it."
King Felipe II of Spain spent a total of 10 million gold coins to build the famous Armada, but he could not keep his beloved wife. After the difficult childbirth, the queen's fragile health gradually deteriorated in the poor sanitary environment. , the palace pharmacist constantly suggested bathing and changing the environment to the king, but was restricted by religion and etiquette, and eventually passed away.
Big Buddha Langji and Little Buddha Langji always tell the love story of the king and the queen over and over again, but the result is a little sad.
After Wang Daokun heard Francisco's affirmative answer, he showed a smile and said: "Qi, you must have clear clothes and cloth, that is to say, you must change clothes after bathing. I don't quite understand how you can endure the lice caused by crawling on your head. Itchy, do you still insist on your etiquette now?”
Tongshi tried to translate this allusion in "The Analects of Confucius Xiangdang" accurately. He organized the language for a long time before saying: "More than two thousand years ago, our sage Confucius said that after bathing, one must put on Clean clothes may not be silk or linen, but they must be clean.”
Raising silkworms and silk has a long history. Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor, was regarded as the first silkworm empress. Since then, silk clothing has been a luxury item.
Bathing and changing clothes are always done together, which is also a Zhou ritual.
"Then it should be based on your etiquette." Francisco lowered his head at the first point. Whether he should take a bath is actually a topic that is often discussed in the whole of Tessie, but it is obvious that he should take a bath. It crawls around, itches, and it really scratches my heart and lungs.
Wang Daokun held the note in his hand and said: "Very good, we have reached the first consensus."
"Second, your envoy asked us to open up the trade of raw silk. Before you take offense, we have always been doing this business based on the principle that the sea is tolerant and tolerant. But obviously, you think this is natural. In this regard, we Can’t agree.”
"In the future, you won't be able to buy raw silk, but you can buy finished silk. I believe you will make more profits by taking it back."
"In fact, the silk products you are wearing are nondescript and the expensive clothing materials are in your hands, and you almost destroyed the silk brand."
Antonio bought raw silk and silk products woven by slaves in Mexico, which were completely different from the silk products of the Ming Dynasty.
Silk is a raw material that is extremely difficult to process. It is very difficult to dye and easy to fade. Even if it is not dyed, it will turn yellow quickly if it is not made properly. The silk craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty is very mature, and raw silk is sold to these red-haired fans. , it’s really a waste.
On the other hand, Wang Daokun wanted to fulfill his promise to the Nanya Jin gentry, which was trade protection.
The silk industry and cotton spinning industry are the pillar industries of Su, Hang, Song, Jia, Hu and other important industrial and commercial towns. The Ming Dynasty returned the land in Nanya. While taking back the acres occupied by the powerful gentry, they also had to ensure that they returned the land after returning it. There is a living, and after the Songjiang Prefecture Shipping Department was established, trade protection and the protection of the Ming Dynasty silk industry and commerce were also the obligations of the court.
Raw silk has been banned from export, but silk products are not on the list. It's just that compared to raw silk, silk fabrics are more expensive.
The ban on raw silk was not just a piece of paper. It could be implemented with a decree. It also involved the vital interests of the Jin gentry in Nanya.
Antonio looked at the silk product he was wearing, and then at the silk satin Wang Daokun was wearing, which was a third-grade court dress. It was self-evident how to choose.
Even though the slaves he purchased were high-end goods that could weave cloth, they still couldn't weave and dye such exquisite silk.
Antonio nodded and said: "I just wanted silk, but there was not enough silk, so I bought raw silk. If Ming Dynasty can provide enough silk, I don't necessarily have to buy raw silk."
Wang Daokun said with a serious face: "You don't have to worry about this. It's very good. We have reached the second consensus. The third issue is to cancel the Municipal Shipping Department and demand free trade."
"If we insist on this, I'm afraid it will provoke a war. Although Dafo Langji is far away, Luzon is very close."
Antonio said with some confusion: "I always thought this was the easiest thing for your country to accept."
"My Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions." Wang Daokun did not explain too clearly.
In the 29th year of Jiajing's reign, the original reason why Anda Khan wanted to knock the pass and create the Gengxu Revolution was because Anda Khan launched a war due to his failure to attack the Daming Gong City, and Anda Khan conquered the North Gukou plundered the capital for eight days, and was only willing to withdraw after the emperor promised to pay tribute.
Later, due to the issue of tribute trade, Ming Dynasty and Ada Khan fought for thirteen years, and created the monster Jin Party.
The court will never agree to this condition, and it will never even be submitted to the court for discussion. Otherwise, the crazy dogs of Ke Dao Yan Guan will definitely tear Wang Daokun to pieces. Wang Daokun stands on the Hongmaofan's point of view on this condition. , is understandable. Their free trade is actually to bypass the shipping department and purchase goods produced in the Ming Dynasty. To a certain extent, it can promote the flow of silver into the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Daokun has noticed that among the four people, it is the captain who makes the decision regarding trade, not the governor.
Wang Daokun said directly to Antonio: "The captain only has four million silver taels per ship. The shipping company is completely satisfied. If you have to fight a dozen, you can give it a try. If you are not afraid of delaying making money."
"Then don't fight." Antonio waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I'm just a businessman."
"Very good, we have reached the third consensus. Even if you bring four large sailing ships to the Songjiang Prefecture Shipping Department, your needs can be met." Wang Daokun looked at the fourth item, shook his head and said, "The fourth I can’t promise you anything either.”
"You want missionaries to preach. This kind of behavior is prohibited in Ming Dynasty, especially now."
"Then what are you going to agree to? Is there any need to talk? Then let's not sell the boat and there is no need to negotiate." Francisco stood up suddenly, waved his arms and said, "I have said many times, you You are always conservative and refuse to trade, you are more arrogant than us, now it is you who need merchant ships, not us!"
Wang Daokun said with a smile: "I can promise you that your envoy Ligas will come to Beijing to see you. This is the only thing I can promise."
Francisco was about to leave, but Legaz and Antonio sat firmly and ignored Francisco at all. This was in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This was not an indigenous country where children of nature roared without clothes.
Only a strong dragon can overwhelm a local snake. This local snake in the east is a giant dragon, a behemoth. An armed merchant ship, open to merchant ships for purchase, can suppress this giant dragon. Francis always dreams.
Francis had a plan to conquer the Ming Dynasty before, from the first twenty soldiers to one or two thousand soldiers, and now to the ten or twenty thousand soldiers. King Felipe II of Spain was not a fool and ignored the madman Francisco Francisco’s advice.
Antonio didn't think that 10,000 or 20,000 Spanish soldiers could destroy the Ming Dynasty. Even the 3,000 Southern soldiers could not be captured by 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers who came from afar.
King Felipe II of Spain sent his special envoy Legaz to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty. The two extremely distant countries had no possibility of conquering each other. Cooperating with each other could bring more opportunities to each other.
And Antonio is here to do business, and all he cares about is making money.
Daming's attitude was much better than the legend said, especially Governor Songjiang who was always kind and cheerful. Although he did not agree to the conditions, he never refused to communicate.
"I think we have a lot to talk about." Legas, the Spanish royal envoy, said with a smile: "I come from far away Europe with sincerity and goodwill. My king is a very accomplished person. Sovereign, he built an invincible fleet and obtained free passage of the seas. When I came to the East, my king spoke to me."
"He told me: We must find ways to establish commercial ties with China in order to obtain Chinese silk, porcelain, benzoin, musk and other supplies. By carrying out such commercial activities, residents can immediately increase their wealth and income."
"While the Armada is very powerful, it is also very expensive."
What Legas told the truth was that in the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, Felipe II had declared the Spanish state bankrupt once. When Legas left Spain, Felipe II, who had established an invincible fleet, was planning a second Declared bankruptcy, although it has increased taxes many times, the finances that cannot make ends meet still aroused dissatisfaction among the Spaniards.
Building and maintaining a huge armada requires gold coins.
Captain Antonio said eagerly: "My first mate said that the Ming army is very powerful. I want to see the power of the East. I wonder if the distinguished Ming officials can satisfy my wish?"
"This is our first mate Marcus. He is a brave sailor who has defeated waves, giant beasts and natives on the sea."
Wang Daokun thought for a while and said: "This is our deputy commander Chen Lin, the sword has no eyes."
Wang Daokun and Antonio discussed the rules of the competition. It was not so much a competition as it was the first small collision between a land power and a sea power. If you lose the competition, there will be no bad consequences. The competition is a Who is more powerful.
Chen Lin stood up and went to change his armor. His armor was a pair of cloth-faced armor.
And Marcus also put on his own armor, a pair of plate armor with only eyes on the whole body, Greenwich-style armor. In this era, Tessie armor began to pay attention to leaving a buffer space between the armor and the body, unlike Goths. The style is so close to the body like the Maximilian style, so it looks even more bulky.
The armor shows brown oxidation treatment, the whole body is baked blue, and the edges are decorated with gold patterns.
"Flashy." Chen Lin looked at the armor and commented that it looks good, but this kind of armor cannot protect against fire.
The rules of the competition are short soldiers, long soldiers, bows, and fire guns.
Chen Lin took out the magic weapon for killing Japanese, the Qi family waist knife. As soon as he took out this five-foot-long waist knife, Marcus said something was wrong. Is this thing a short-range weapon? !
After Chen Lin warmed up, she used a T-shaped attack on the staggered pillars. Between the lightning and flint, the long and short wooden sticks broke in response.
"This is indeed our short weapon, it looks a bit long." Wang Daokun explained to Antonio.
What Marcus took out was a heavy sword, but after he swung it twice, he knew something was wrong. His armor was too big, and big means bloated. The bloated armor coupled with the inflexible The heavy sword will be hung up and beaten when facing the flexible Chen Lin.
Antonio has already realized that this ancient civilization is a land-power country and has already reached the extreme in land warfare. For a sea-power country to compete with a land-power country, it is completely humiliating itself.
This is indeed the case.
Marcus was at a disadvantage from the beginning, and Chen Lin was not in a hurry. She used Marcus, a bloated man, as a target. After fully demonstrating his martial arts skills, she took advantage of Marcus's heavy sword to fall. When the momentum was strong, he put the sword on Marcus's neck and ended the battle.
After arriving at Changbing, Marcus didn't know how to win. After being dazed for a while, his helmet was knocked out.
Chen Lin smiled and put away the long and short soldiers.
The third formation consisted of bows and arrows and fire blunderbuss. Marcus was defeated again. The fire blunderbuss used by Ming Dynasty was a bird blunderbuss. For flying birds in the forest, 89 out of 10 shots would hit. As for the static target, 10 out of 10 shots would hit.
Chen Lin was Yin Zhengmao's sharpest spear in fighting the Japanese invaders in Guangdong and Guangxi. Chen Lin was also a young general with high hopes in the Ming Empire. Marcus was just the first mate on an armed merchant ship. Marcus' defeat was extremely reasonable.
But Chen Lin's powerful combat power still left a deep psychological shadow on Antonio and Marcus. Is this just a person?
"You're awesome!" Marcus was defeated in all three battles. Although he was a little unconvinced, he still admitted that Chen Lin was indeed awesome.
Chen Lin showed a smile, of course he knew he was powerful.
At this moment, in the ancestral residence of Xu Jie in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, a guest came, the Dashou Shen family. Xu Jie's first wife Shen Zhongheng came from the Dashou Shen family.
Shen Changming was the organizer of the last poetry meeting. This time Shen Changming came not to discuss countermeasures with Xu Jie. He decided to return the land and change the boat.
Shen Changming and Xu Jie exchanged greetings and said, "Old Xu, we are all old, and we must obey our old age."
"This residence is running smoothly, and there is no chance at all. I plan to build a few weaving workshops. Originally, my family was engaged in this business. Now the court has issued a silk ban, strictly prohibiting the sale of raw silk, but it does not prohibit the export of silk to the sea. I feel that the conditions have been met. Very good.”
"If we continue to resist, I'm afraid Zhang Juzheng will be angry."
Xu Jie stared angrily and said sternly: "Don't say that Zhang Juzheng, even ten or eight of them, can turn this turbid world into a clear sky and clear water?! I can't do it, Gao Gong can't do it, He can’t do it either! No one can do it!”
"nobody!"
Xu Jie is angry!
It is not just the Shen family that has surrendered now. The powerful Jin gentry who have returned their armor are all waiting to see. Once the Shibo Division is really completed, the return of Nanya's fields will not be the imperial court's request to the Nanya gentry, but the Nanya Jin gentry's request. It was the Jin gentry who rushed to the court to change ships.
Shen Changming looked at Xu Jie and said earnestly: "Old Xu, Zhang Juzheng really can't do it, but with Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Tan Lun, Wang Guoguang, etc., what about these people together? Can they do it? ?If they can’t do it yet, what about His Majesty?”
"Zhang Juzheng is not a person, he is someone who lifted him up because he wanted to do something. He is not himself!"
"Furthermore, Zhang Juzheng's actions have been recognized by the palace, just like Yan Song was supported by the World Temple. If Yan Shifan hadn't acted recklessly, Lao Xu and Grand Master Xu, would you really be able to fight against Yan Song?"
“When a drop of clear water falls into the ink, it naturally joins the flow, but what if the water from the vast ocean is involved in the ink?”
"Old Xu, don't be angry with Zhang Juzheng, and don't be angry with yourself."
Shen Changming knew that Xu Jie was fighting against Zhang Juzheng. He saw that his students were doing better than him, and if he refused to accept this anger, he felt that he could also do well.
Shen Changming stood up, sighed heavily and said: "I heard that Taishi Xu has been secretly buying land recently, and also wants to invade and annex it. I have heard about it. It is impossible for the Songjiang Prefecture Yamen to not know about it, and it is impossible for Wang Daokun not to know about it. Zhang Juzheng also knows about it. I will find out soon, I advise Master Xu to stop."
In the third year of Wanli (1575), the Spanish Governor-General of the Philippines, Legaz, sent missionaries Rada and Martin to Fuzhou to find Liu Yaohai, the governor of Fujian, and submitted a letter to the Spanish Governor, stating his intention of conducting trade and missionary work. Yao Hai reports, in the next chapter of the court: Although Luzon is not a tribute country, but it can come to the court out of admiration, it will be compared to the rules of Siam and Chenla, and it will pay tribute along with it. As for trade and missionary matters, the governor still issued an edict to denounce them. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! !
