Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

If it's just the East India Company's problem, then it's really not a problem for Daming!

Do you know about the East China Sea Fleet?Do you know about the South China Sea Fleet?No matter how bad it is, the North Sea Fleet will find out?

Any one of these three fleets dispatched can almost beat the East India Company in Burma, so why worry about being rubbed on the ground by them?

As for the fact that Myanmar is not able to defeat the East India Company, it is actually normal to think about it-whether it is Myanmar, Siam or other small countries, there is no strong navy-it has been like this before the appearance of ironclad ships.

It's not that these people are really stupid, and it's not that these people don't want to develop their country's sea power, but because of the bad climate!

These places basically have common characteristics - enough heat, and enough rain.

The hot weather has brought benefits, such as two or even three crops of rice a year, so that you can harvest grain while lying down with a handful of seeds.

However, the disadvantages are even more detrimental. The warships before the ironclad ship were all made of wood, and the wood used for shipbuilding needs to be dried in the shade, and it is not a day and a half. This time is basically in units of years.

Under the hot and humid weather, it is basically impossible to let the wood dry in the shade-it is a warship without wood!

Without powerful warships, and Ming's lucky boats are not for sale, these small countries can only be hanged up and beaten when facing the East India Company, which is entering its peak period.

But Daming is like them?

How big is Daming's territory now, not to mention Emperor Chongzhen, even the Ministry of Households who mainly manages the territory and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies who are in charge of foreign wars are not sure!

Liu Xingzuo on Nurgan Dusi's side has been expanding to the north, and Amin and Mangurtai have been expanding to the west with their horses.

Even overseas, Admiral Zheng Zhilong's South China Sea Fleet is constantly encroaching on the African continent. Maybe all the black uncles will be killed or captured at any time, and then it will be declared that it has become the territory of Ming Dynasty.

With such a large area, wouldn’t it be easy and enjoyable to get some wood to dry in the shade before building a boat?

Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen always heard the Ministry of Industry complaining about the lack of manpower, not about the lack of wood or the inability to dry it in the shade!

With enough wood, more ships can be built, and with more warships, it is easier, simpler and more enjoyable to kill the East India Company!

At the very least, Zheng Zhilong and Nan Juyi have proved with practical actions that as long as Daming wants to kill the East India Company, all he needs is patience and enough ammunition!

Even if the headquarters of the East India Company is in Myanmar, Emperor Chongzhen is sure to kill them every minute, let alone worry about the so-called East India Company branch in Myanmar.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen spoke again: "Since the matter is related to the East India Company, after the hajj, I will arrange for the Fifth Army Commander's Office to deal with it. At that time, Aiqing will be needed to cooperate with the Five Armies Commander-in-Chief. house?"

He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if you have an order, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate!"

Emperor Chongzhen chuckled and said, "Aiqing is serious. In this case, why not wait until the pilgrimage is over and accompany me to see the review and the barracks?"

He Long couldn't figure out what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking, but what Emperor Chongzhen said today had already shown Emperor Chongzhen's attitude.

After accepting his attachment, the old man didn't care about the East India Company at all!

As for the review and barracks mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen, these messy things, no matter how proficient he is in Ming Dynasty official language, he is still at a loss.

After he bowed and agreed with a bewildered face, Emperor Chongzhen nodded in satisfaction and changed the topic to other places.

After the audience had completely dispersed, Emperor Chongzhen left Wen Tiren, Zhu Chunchen, and Zhang Zhiji behind.

After ordering the little eunuchs to change the tea again, Emperor Chongzhen pondered: "What do you love about today's events?"

Wen Tiren bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, based on what King Long said today, combined with the news sent by the factory guard, it can basically be judged that he is sincerely attached.

Just, the East India Company?My Ming Dynasty is resting and recuperating, and at this time, the war is starting again? "

Emperor Chongzhen sneered and said, "What's the start of the war? The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies sent someone to inform Nan Juyi to move him to Burma and tell those people in the East India Company to get out!"

ps: Ask for tickets. In addition, the sacrifice is also in front of me, "Fu Han".By the way, I would like to inform you that those who should receive pork quickly join the group and find a dog to manage it!This time I bleed more than 1 yuan, no kidding!

Chapter 634 Keep it as a dumping target

Emperor Chongzhen intends to let the ghosts of the East India Company go away and give up the territory to Daming, but Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou have different opinions.

It's actually very simple to let the barbarians go. You only need to send Nan Juyi's East China Sea Fleet to the port of Burma, and the barbarians will go away honestly.

The point is, if these barbarians can stay in Myanmar honestly and draw a trade zone for them to count on, it will not have much impact?

At the very least, is there a market for many things that have been in the backlog for a long time in Daming?It's better than rotten in the warehouse, right?

After considering it for a while, Emperor Chongzhen found that what Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou said made sense.

Not to mention the amount of reserves in that monster in the Shaofu, which needs to be eliminated and updated every year. The amount of materials that the governments of various places have stored to deal with natural disasters is a headache.

Even if it is Daming now that there are constant natural disasters, even every year, but there are always places that are not affected by disasters, right?Do the materials in these places also need to be eliminated and updated?

Sometimes, too many supplies can be a headache!

In the past, the materials were disposed of at a low price before they expired, or sold to the private sector, or sold to other businessmen. Anyway, they all faced the problem of discounting.

If these barbarians of the East India Company were left in Burma, things would be much easier.

As long as it has not expired completely, or if the expiration time is not long, it can be sold to these savages at the market price.

And those old teas from Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, as long as they are not completely spoiled, can they also be sold?

From this point of view, it is more cost-effective to clean up these savages now than to keep them for the time being, and exchange these rags for money from them.

Moving to the Imperial Study Room, after looking at the map on the wall and making gestures for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Bagu is suitable? Or is it more suitable for these barbarians to go to Quanzhou?"

Wen Tiren bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the news about the previous expedition of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet has spread throughout Daming, and the people of Daming know that these barbarians have been driven away by Daming.

If these barbarians were allowed to appear in Quanzhou, it would be a bit unbeautiful, why not let them set up another shipping department in Bagu to be in charge of the sea trade with these barbarians? "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded.

In fact, there is no problem in setting up a city ship company in Bago, not to mention that the railway will slowly be built towards Myanmar. Just a city ship company can bring jobs and tax revenue to the local area. Very impressive.

And these benefits, although they will be enjoyed by the local Burmese, will eventually flow into the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and what happens when the people of the Ming Dynasty immigrate there?

Everything belongs to Daming!

The only pity may be that those Burmese barbarians have transformed into commoners of the Ming Dynasty, so they can't be too exploitative, at least they can't catch coolies and sell piglets.

The distressed Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his finger again, and after a long time of gesturing on the map, he said: "In this case, then set up another city shipping department at Bago Port, and arrange the staff with the Ministry of Officials."

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou looked at each other, and after silently mourning for Fang Zhuangli, they bowed together and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

……

Since he wanted to talk to the barbarians, Emperor Chongzhen naturally thought of Li Chengyan.

Li Chengyan, who has dealt with the barbarians of the East India Company more than once, can be said to be the person most familiar to the ghosts of the East India Company in the entire Ming Dynasty.

As for the fact that Li Chengyan had just returned from Nan Juyi and hadn't had time to take a good rest, Emperor Chongzhen wouldn't care too much—every time he gave enough rewards, wouldn't he want to cheat the barbarian again?
