The Western colonizers' set was actually not suitable for the Ming Dynasty.From the very beginning, Zhao Ming did not plan to follow the model of Western colonization, but to lead the Ming Dynasty and the whole world to resist the plunder and invasion of Western hooligans.Although Zhao Ming also colonized and subverted other people's regimes, unlike the West in order to plunder, Zhao Ming's goal was to make the cake bigger and enjoy the dividends of development.The land of Nanyang is rich in land and abundant products, but it has not been properly developed, resulting in a weak country and poor people.After the New Year's meeting, Zhao Ming immediately ordered the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to set up a number of investment and development companies to help the Nanyang countries develop domestic mines, build water conservancy, reclaim wasteland, establish farms, and find suitable land, plant oak seeds, and deploy rubber plantations first.At this time, the West had not yet realized the role of rubber, and Spain and Portugal did not protect rubber in the same way that China protected silkworm seeds.A year ago, Zhao Ming obtained rubber seeds from South America through Portuguese merchants.Previously, the biggest problem with the steam engine of the Ming Dynasty was the airtightness of the piston.For this problem, Song Yingxing replaced it with Lingnan's eucommia gum, but the effect was still not ideal.At that time, after Zhao Ming learned of this plan, he thought of rubber, so he sought rubber seeds from multiple channels, and finally obtained rubber seeds.In the Ming Dynasty, various development companies entered the Nanyang countries, carried out various projects, and recruited local people to work, so that the local people's income increased and they had the ability to consume.This not only eliminated the sales of Ming Dynasty goods, but also developed and activated the local economy, leaving the countries outside the Ming Dynasty tributary system far behind, and it was a win-win economic system.Today, Zhao Ming begged some countries to join, and in the future, some countries wanted to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.At this time, the penalty of tribute is not a big deal, but once the tributary economy of the Ming Dynasty develops, the penalty of tribute will represent poverty and economic collapse, which will change the color of the talk of various countries.The residence of the regent of Nanjing, Zhao Ming is really integrating East Asia, and at the same time paying attention to the collision and conflict where the east and the west meet.At this time, Qian Bingjian led the envoy of Penglai Kingdom to the outside of the palace study, and said with a smile: "The regent is waiting inside." ”Zhang Huangyan bowed slightly, the guard opened the door, and he stepped in.Zhao Ming was working on documents, conceiving his new policy plan and the first five-year plan after reunification.From the perspective of personal feelings, Zhang Huangyan hates Zhao Ming more in his heart.Zhao Ming not only betrayed the Zhejiang system, stole the achievements of the Zhejiang system to resist the Qing Dynasty, but also exiled a large number of Zhejiang people overseas, and forced Zhu Yihai to commit suicide, killing the Zhejiang system.Thinking of Zhang Mingzhen, Zhu Yihai and others, who died because of Zhao Ming, Zhang Huangyan hated Zhao Ming in his heart.However, in terms of public affairs, Zhao Ming did what they failed to accomplish, conquering the Manchus, reclaiming Beijing, reuniting the Ming Dynasty, and establishing a Ming Dynasty that was even stronger than before.This made Zhang Mingzhen very conflicted when he saw Zhao Ming.But fortunately, this is not Zhang Huangyan, the first time he has met Zhao Ming, he has already met many times since he came to Nanjing."
Regent!"
Zhang Huangyan saluted in a deep voice.Zhao Ming raised his head, saw Zhang Huangyan, hurriedly put away the copy, and said with a smile: "Haha~ Mr. is here so soon."
You may be seated!
”Zhang Huangyan sat down in his seat, the waiter served refreshments, Zhao Ming waved his hand and retreated, and then said: "Mr.
Zhao came over today, because the widow wanted to know more about the situation in Dongzhou, and Mr.
Lao told him." ”This time, Zhang Huangyan returned to the Ming Dynasty for two main purposes, one was to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and ask for help from the Ming Dynasty and ask for material aid, and the other was to visit whether there were any descendants of Zhu Yihai.After Li Chengdong arrived in Dongzhou, Zhang Huangyan, Ruan Jin and others learned that Zhu Yihai took advantage of Zhao Ming's Northern Expedition to coup in Nanjing, and finally failed, and learned that Zhu Yihai burned himself to death.Now that Zhu Yihai is dead and the political struggle is over, the people who are loyal to Zhu Yihai overseas don't want to give Zhu Yihai a poster, but just hope to find the descendants of King Lu's lineage, and then take them to Dongzhou to settle down.In the eyes of the Zhejiang department, Zhu Yihai stood up when the building was about to collapse and resisted the Qing soldiers for many years, which was a meritorious achievement for the entire nation.This kind of merit should not be completely erased because of the defeat of the internal political struggle.Therefore, everyone in Zhejiang wanted to see if they could find Zhu Yihai's descendants and receive preferential treatment from Dongzhou.Zhang Huangyan said in a deep voice: "Back to the regent, now the war in Dongzhou is fierce.Although the Western Zhuyi are not in agreement, they have reached a goal when dealing with us.Now in the south of Penglai, we have to face the attack of the Spaniards, and in the west of Penglai, there are Yingyi and Fayi, and Penglai is under great pressure. ”This situation was a bit unexpected by Zhao Ming, after all, Europe has been divided for a long time, and there are conflicts of interest between various countries, so I didn't expect them to unite when dealing with the Ming Dynasty.This point seems to have deviated from the original track, which makes Zhao Ming feel a trace of crisis.Zhao Ming asked, "How do you fight against Xiyi now?"
”Zhang Huang said: "The east can only rely on the mountains, barely resisting, and dare not set foot in the eastern plains, so as not to provoke the British and French, and the south relies on Yin warriors to confront the Spaniards." ”"Yin?"
Zhao Ming wondered."
It is the local natives of Dongzhou, who are similar in skin color to us, so they are called the Yin tribe, so that they can be united.Speaking of which, this title is still based on the words of the regent. ”Zhang Huangyan explained.Zhao Ming bowed slightly, after the exchange, he probably figured out that Li Chengdong only occupied the vicinity of Vancouver.If this chess piece is uprooted by the West, then the Western forces, after occupying the Americas, will reach the Western Pacific region and directly kill the Ming Dynasty's doorstep, seriously affecting his integration into East Asia.Zhao Ming picked up a note from the desk and said in a deep voice: "King Penglai's note, the widow has already seen it.The material assistance requested in the song will be arranged as soon as possible, but so many materials are smashed in the Ming Dynasty, and you must produce results.Within three years, the widow wants you to retake Jinshan City. ”Zhang Huang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect Zhao Ming to be so generous, and hurriedly saluted: "On behalf of the people of Penglai, thank you to the regent." ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, and suddenly said: "Within a month, the imperial court will arrange a boat, and Mr. will set off with the ship, don't stay in Daming for a long time." ”Zhang Huangyan's heart sank, "The minister knows." ”Zhao Ming immediately waved his hand and asked Zhang Huangyan to retire, and soon after Zhang Huangyan left, Chen Mingxia, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, came to ask to see him again.At this time, Chen Mingxia entered the study and bowed, "Regent, the letter of reply from Japan has arrived!"
