Chapter 193: Control the Southeast, Daming Ball Master Plan

On June 29, the second year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong reiterated to the Han people in Macau:

"Macau is the Macao of the Ming Empire. Any other country has to establish an official organization without permission from the Ming Empire."

The retention of power over Macau represents the southeast coastal areas. The Ming Dynasty has successfully regained its sovereignty and has completely grasped the maritime sovereignty belonging to the southeast coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong attached great importance to the control of maritime power. After completing the recovery of Taiwan and Macau, he immediately made arrangements for the fleet.

Including conventional inspection systems, temporary responses during wartime and control systems.

Yuan Chonghuan's Southeast Road Maritime Maritime Maritime Bureau had improved its system at this time. After taking over the warships eliminated by Zheng Zhilong, he obtained a huge fleet of maritime transport ships.

It is known as the "Ming Dynasty Royal Maritime Fleet" and is responsible for the appropriate trade between Southeast and Southeast Asia.

The smuggling trading system of Southeast gentry was completely shattered, and from then on, they could only abide by the Ming maritime trade system to conduct trade.

Of course they would not just admit it. Some people jumped out to make trouble and protest, and were then convicted of Tongyi and were directly confiscated to death.

These people were not wronged. Nine out of ten gentry here had some intersections and trade with the Portuguese.

So this crime is proven.

On July 7, the seventh day of the seventh month of the Chongzhen year, a fleet of ships from the Netherlands arrived from Manila, including two third-class sailing battleships and fourteen merchant ships.

Then all of them were detained by the Ming Dynasty's South China Sea Navy fleet. All Shangpin and ships were found on the charge of "illegal entry". The personnel were also arrested and sent to Taiwan for work.

From May to July, the Huangxia Chamber of Commerce successively established a large sugar production factory in Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan, vigorously developed the sugar production industry in three places and carried out industrialization reforms in the sugar production industry.

With its huge capital and political power, it directly monopolized the raw materials and sales channels of sucrose in three places.

At the same time, the Huangxia Chamber of Commerce and the Zheng Chamber of Commerce also acquired a large number of tea lands to monopolize the tea industry.

A simple industry monopoly is naturally not in line with the law of healthy market development, but the Ming gentry cannot control the market reasonably, so the Huangxia Chamber of Commerce is needed as a control and supervision force.

As the Ming Dynasty merchants gradually grew, Xiao Sheng would take the initiative to give up most of his share.

After all, he is no longer interested in money now, and what he needs is to make the Ming Dynasty truly the best in the world.

All the military deployments in the entire Southeast Road require Zheng Zhilong's consent, and he has to worry about these. Since he pacified Macau, he has lost a lot in just one month.

He was so tired, and all kinds of affairs were very complicated. He really felt how difficult it was to be an official.

Especially when I want to be an official who makes a difference.

It was not until the news came at the end of July that he was able to escape from such complicated affairs.

"The Ming Dynasty actually used troops to Fusang and had occupied five vassal states! What a great thing Yuan Keli, just recovered the Liaodong Peninsula and opened up such a large land in a blink of an eye. It's really amazing!"

Zheng Zhilong said.

Zheng Zhihu, who was on the other side, heard this and said, "Brother, they are going to attack Feiqian Fan. Do we want to tell Feiqian Fan about it?"

Zheng Zhilong glared at him and scolded: "Since the Ming Dynasty attacked Fusang, then Fusang is the enemy country. How can we communicate with the enemy country in private?

Don’t let me hear such stupid words from you in the future.”

Zheng Zhihu responded timidly, but he didn't dare to say a word to Zheng Zhilong's majesty.

"Reply to the Denglai Navy, you don't need to take care of me. If the Feiqianfu resists the King's Army, just focus on the conquest.

Tell them that if necessary, our South China Sea Navy fleet will immediately support northwards." Zheng Zhilong said.

Zhu Youjian and Xiao Sheng had already told him about Fusang's strategy, so shortly after he arrived here, he sent someone to take over his wife and children who were staying in the country of Faeqian Guohiro, and then sent the child, that is, Zheng Sen, to the capital to study and grow.

As for father-in-law or Hirado's friends, if they go against the Ming Dynasty, they will only be defeated or captured. At least, with his face, the Ming army will not kill them directly.

Of course, if they deserve to die, Zheng Zhilong would not take the initiative to protect him.

Zhu Youjian has already made it clear that Fusang will sooner or later become a part of the Ming Dynasty. No matter whose friends or relatives are, anyone who blocks the "Ming Captain" plan will have only one end.

In fact, he had no good feelings for Fusang. It was because he lived in Fusang for a while that he understood more clearly what kind of population the Fusang nation was.

These people are not good to them, they will be grateful. They must be cruel enough to them and give them a little gift, so they will serve you very respectfully.

Therefore, after hearing Yuan Keli's "anti-Japanese war and aiding Korea", he was very supportive.

He even wanted to make a move, such as occupying the Satsuma Phantava in the southern end of Fuso, and gaining credit for expanding territory.

But after all, this matter was done by the cooperation between the Denglai Navy and Far East City. Without the consent of the other party, he took rash actions, which would affect His Majesty's plan at that time, and he would not be able to afford to be guilty.

Although the three of them worshipped brothers, Zheng Zhilong could still tell where he was.

The elder brother Xiao Sheng was very mysterious. He entered and left the palace freely, occupied a lot of wealth, and even had enough power to overthrow a country, but the emperor trusted him very much.

And he, the nominal "the emperor's second brother", is actually just a big pirate, and is far from comparable to wealth, planning and influence.

At the beginning, I didn’t know what the emperor liked about him and would become a sworn brother with him. But since he had gained such great trust, he needed to be worthy of this trust.

There is no love for no reason, nor trust for no reason, this is the truth.

After receiving the order from Zheng Zhilong, the soldiers who sent the order immediately went to the "Quanzhou Communications Office" that had just been established in Quanzhou to send a report.

In April of the second year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty took the lead in promoting telegraph business in important departments in various places. By the end of June, it had completed the establishment of telegraph communications to Liaodong, the southeast coast and important towns on the Sichuan-Shaanxi border.

Although those people are not very skilled in their business, they can definitely communicate.

Zheng Zhilong was very surprised by this new communication method. He originally thought that the phonograph and electric light were already magical, but now he could pass messages across such a large distance. It was so amazing.

With this telegram, Quanzhou and the capital can quickly contact each other military and political places where there is intersection. Once a crisis occurs in a certain place, the capital can order the surrounding troops to provide support as soon as possible.
