As trade progressed, the Ming Dynasty's silver coins began to gradually enter Europe.
The beautifully forged and serrated silver coins of the Ming Dynasty were warmly welcomed by merchants.
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's gold coins also entered Europe.
The gold coins were also half a tael.
One gold coin was equivalent to ten silver coins.
Ming Dynasty gold coins are more popular than silver coins, because it is obviously much more convenient to use gold coins than silver coins for large transactions.
The King of Poland and Wang Zheng agreed that Ming's loan would be paid in half gold coins and half silver coins.
Wang Zheng directly took out 100,000 gold coins and handed them to Poland as the first installment of the loan.
Wang Zheng brought a total of 100,000 yuan in silver coins and 100,000 yuan in gold coins.
The mission was traveling on the largest fortune ship, so they were not worried about anyone temporarily pretending to be pirates along the way.
This lucky ship, the Daming, will cause a sensation wherever it goes.
Compared with European ships, the Daming seems a bit stupid, slightly slower, and inconvenient to get on and off the ship.
But it's big, it's stable, and it's powerful.
When passing through the northwest corner of Africa, two warships without flags were attached to it.
As a result, the masts were hit by a few shots from the Daming.
The Ming army killed all the people on the two ships, and then took the Everything was moved and the boat was set on fire.
Of course, the incident involving the two Spanish warships was kept in mind by the Ming army, and they would report it after they returned home, and the emperor would decide how to deal with it.
After Poland, there is only one country left: Sweden.
Sweden is a powerful country in Northern Europe.
A few years ago, after the death of Sweden's most famous king, Gustaf II Adolf, known as the Lion King, his daughter Queen Christina succeeded to the throne and was known as the Girl King.
At this time, actual control of Sweden was in the hands of Swedish Prime Minister Axel Uxenssiena.
The Lion King regards himself as the protector of Protestantism, and has fought wars with Poland, the Rakshasa Kingdom, and the German states.
Protestant doctrine advocates that everyone can talk directly to God without going through an intermediary, which means that the presence of clergy is no longer necessary.
Zhu Youxiao liked the teachings of Protestantism very much, so in his letter, he first expressed his support for Protestantism, which immediately won the favor of Swedish Prime Minister Axel Uxenschenner.
When Zhu Youxiao then asked to form an alliance with Sweden to jointly deal with the Rakshasa Kingdom, Axel Oxenschenna agreed without hesitation.
He also understands the principle of making friends from far away and attacking closely.
If the Ming Dynasty attacks from the other side of the Rakshasa Kingdom, then the Rakshasa forces he has to face will be greatly reduced, and Sweden does not need to pay anything.
Only a fool will not agree to such a good thing. .
Wang Zheng left ten students behind and requested that they be placed as interns in the Swedish artillery force to learn the advanced technology of the Swedish artillery.
This was also allowed by the Swedes.
The Swedish artillery was the strongest artillery in Europe at that time.
Not to mention the power of the artillery, only the quality and perfect drill of the artillery had their merits.
After more than half a year, Wang Zheng's European trip came to a successful conclusion.
The Ming Dynasty first communicated with the Holy See and won the independence of the Catholic Church in the Ming Dynasty.
It has established friendly relations with the European powers, and has formed allies with Poland and Sweden, which are hostile to the Rakshasa Kingdom.
More importantly, the accompanying Jin Yiwei and the students collected information on the terrain, products, customs and other aspects along the way.
This will become very important information for future research on Europe and dealing with European countries. will serve as guiding information.
Of course, they bought the book boxes and even magazines that were not available in China that they saw along the way.
Those that could be translated were translated now, and those that could not be translated would be handed over to the Translation Bureau after returning to China, and then handed over to the research institute for research. .
According to the plan, the mission also has an important task, which is to travel from the Atlantic to the Americas, then return from the southern tip of the Americas to the South China Sea, and then return to China for a round-the-world trip.
Not only did Zhu Youxiao want to ingrain the idea that the earth is round into people's hearts, they also wanted to visit the Ming soldiers in America, comfort the Yin Di'an compatriots, and strengthen the connection between the two places.
Although they had enough charts, it still took a long time for the mission to arrive at Huaxia City, the largest base of the Ming army in the Americas.
Zhou Yanru, Hu Qinzhai, Geng Zhongming and others happened to be in Huaxia City and were discussing how to attack the Spanish from Huaxia City.
There are now 13,000 Ming troops in America, and more than 105,000 Ming immigrants.
The Yin family numbered more than 500,000.

From Hongwu City in the south to Wanli City in the north, the distance can reach more than 8,000 miles.
In such a large place, even if only the coastal areas are developed now, the number of people is really too small.
Except for some cities, it is difficult to see people in other places.
Fortunately, these places have sufficient food and a suitable climate.
After domestic immigrants meet the needs of the north, a large number of immigrants will come here, and it will be very lively here.
According to Zhou Yanru's estimation, according to Chen Houfu's immigration guidance According to the Bureau's news, in two years' time, the number of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty will exceed that of the Yin family, reaching about one million.
Wang Zheng carried the imperial edict, and the Ming Dynasty decided to make Sangge the chief of the Yin family, with jurisdiction over all the Yin family on the west coast of America.
The other heads of the Yin family were also named leaders, each with jurisdiction over the Yin family in a certain area.
This is Daming's preparation for future immigration work.
After more immigrants come, there may be some conflicts of interest with the Yin family.
For now, the Yin family is divided into one place to facilitate future management.
The emperor ordered Wang Zheng to take a good look at Panama, and asked people to draw nearby maps and examine the geographical and geological conditions.
Of course, the most important thing is to occupy this place.
It is to completely occupy it.
Except for the Ming people, The Heyin family cannot have anyone else living in this place.
According to the sketch drawn by His Majesty the Emperor, the Ming army found this place called Panama.
There was already a group of Spaniards stationed here, but the number was small.
After being defeated by the Ming army, they found out through interrogation that the Spaniards were also here to prepare for the exam.
Dig canals.
As a result, the information explored by the Spanish became the information of the Ming army, and the Ming army also built a city on the Atlantic side of Panama and named it Yongle City in the order of the emperor's naming.
The geography students brought by Wang Zheng carefully inspected the situation here, drew a more accurate map, and believed that there were no basic conditions for digging a canal here.
Because this is a large tropical rain forest with humid and hot weather, dense jungle, traffic congestion, and complex terrain.
If you want to dig a canal, you must first change the infrastructure here, which obviously cannot be completed in a short time.
Let's talk about immigration.
There is a lot of land on the west coast of the Americas.
Who would want to live in this place where poisonous insects are densely populated and the climate is hot?
Except for the places near the sea on both sides, the area of more than a hundred miles in the middle is not suitable for human habitation at all.
However, this has nothing to do with Wang Zheng, and the emperor does not want to dig the canal now, but this place must be occupied.
Because Yongle City is close to the sea, the Spanish may attack at any time, so Hu Qinzhai stationed 3,000 soldiers here and placed a large number of artillery, and Geng Zhongming personally guarded it
