Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 684 Europa Mission (2)

The majestic and majestic Forbidden City ushered in a group of special groups. For the Imperial Forest Army of the Ming Dynasty who were on duty everywhere, they saw a group of strange people.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed, strangely dressed, and strangely spoken Europa missions are like a group of uncivilized savages to Daming, where etiquette prevails.

Although in the past a long period of time, Emperor Chongzhen recruited a large number of Western missionaries, the scale of which was about a thousand, but these groups were concentrated in the Xishan area, engaged in research in various fields, so in many cases, various groups in Ming Dynasty, It is impossible to get in touch with these Westerners.

Every missionary who can come to the capital of Ming Dynasty is a talent who is proficient in a certain field.

For those groups who simply came to preach, Emperor Chongzhen was not interested, and would not ask them to come to the Gyeonggi area.

After all, Daming doesn't need useless waste.

It is precisely the group of missionaries who are proficient in a certain field. Because of the support of Emperor Chongzhen, these people focus more on research, but the missionary career has become less important.

What's more, before coming to Daming Gyeonggi, Emperor Chongzhen had three chapters of the agreement.

Want to preach in Daming?

Whoever dares to occupy the share he deserves will have to pay a price. If not, the scale of the cake will continue to increase, so that more and more groups will participate in foreign maritime trade.

Huangming Maritime Trade Association.

This is not necessary.

"indeed."

For example, when dealing with areas other than Ming Dynasty, this is the same as the mainstream thinking.

Even in the House of Internal Affairs specially set up by Emperor Chongzhen, there are actually a group of people who are staunch supporters of some old ideas, but what can Emperor Chongzhen do to deal with this phenomenon?
Is it just a stick to kill?

However, breakthroughs must be made in the fields involved, otherwise they cannot leave the Western Mountain Mission, which also makes the Western Mission only spread in a small range without expanding the corresponding influence.

However, the news that Emperor Chongzhen summoned the Europa mission spread in the outer court.

"At least double it."

What's more, in the Jiangnan provinces, the Japanese Insurgency that has begun to rage cannot be quelled in the short term. If we let the European countries know about these situations, I'm afraid their attitude will change a lot. "

The Wenhua Palace at that time.

Zhu Chunchen, who was transferred to the Lifan Academy, looked at the group of Europa missions in front of him, frowned slightly, and said to Zhang Zhiji, the Shangshu of the Lifan Academy: "I really don't know why your Majesty summoned them, so that we can do business with them. It’s my Enwei, Ming Dynasty, and these guys came to the capital, which caused quite a bit of controversy between the government and the opposition.”

Knowing some situations in advance, especially the reality of the countries in Southeast Asia, will be of great benefit to the future development of the region.

you can!

The essence of the reform is not only to seek reform at the political level, but also to seek reform in the ideological field. The superficial old order and old ideas are easy to change, but the inner old order and old ideas are hard to change.

The summons from the Qianqing Palace continued.

The newly appointed cabinet minister, Liu Hongxun, frowned slightly and said: "European countries sent missions to my Ming capital, the purpose is definitely not pure.

Emperor Chongzhen has too many things to do. As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, his vision should not be limited to a certain field, but must stand at a higher level, based on the perspective of overall consideration, to coordinate and mobilize various fields, so as to ensure Daming is becoming, not complacent.

Zhang Zhiji glanced at Zhu Chunchen, and said, "Your Majesty wants to summon them because he wants to learn more about the actual conditions of the European countries, so as to get familiar with these European countries.

With the passage of time, the influence of Emperor Chongzhen on Daming continued to increase.

Your Majesty said earlier that the South Sea countries are rich in resources, such as gold, silver, gemstones, emeralds and other mineral deposits, which can be said to be spread all over the region. If these mineral deposits can be obtained, Cheng Guogong feels that the profits of the Huangming Maritime Trade Association will How far will it go? "

In the future, we will actively set foot in the Southeast Asian countries. It is impossible to stay in Tianjin, Dongfan and other places, and just passively conduct large-scale trade with European maritime merchants.

Affected by the limitation of vision, regardless of Liu Hongxun and Huang Liji, they were once again reused by Emperor Chongzhen and shouldered heavier responsibilities, but their thinking in some aspects is still relatively stubborn.

If it weren't for the size of the ships under his command, and the opponents of the Han League, the agenda of marching into the Southeast Asian countries, I am afraid that the Huangming Maritime Trade Association would have started it long ago. "

Especially in the matter of opening up sea trade, a Hanmeng, a Huangming Maritime Trade Association, can be said to be giants in foreign maritime trade, and there are many groups involved in it, which is very complicated.

Zhu Chunchen showed a greedy look, "The Han League led by Zheng Zhilong has already gathered a group of Han merchants from various Southeast Asian countries, and the total trade volume of the Han League far exceeds that of our Huangming Maritime Trade Association.

Huang Liji nodded slightly and said: "There are so many things happening on the Guochao side now, such as the war started by Jianlu in the Liaodong area, which is still going on.

To seek common ground while reserving differences, we must give these groups time and patience, so that they can see more things and accept novel ideas.

Regarding the dividends from opening the sea, most of them were obtained by these groups, and Emperor Chongzhen's attitude was very clear.

"These Xiyi's looks are really weird."

Your Majesty shouldn't easily call these Xiyi people to come to the heart of my Da Ming. If all these Xiyi have different intentions, it will not be a good thing for my Da Ming. "

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

The reason for doing this is also forced by reality.

If you want to break the old order, it will take time to settle down. If you want to be eager for success in everything, the final result will be that nothing can be done.

Simple and rude disposal or dismissal is not a performance of solving the problem, it is destroying the reformation of Ming Dynasty. After all, it can claim itself to be a celestial dynasty. It is indeed a capital to say so. It is just the law of development, not stagnation. If you don't move forward, you move forward step by step. Once you make a wrong step, you will make a wrong step.

"Okay, you don't have to think about these things."

Xu Guangqi, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "Let's deal with government affairs. The rectification of the salt administration stipulated by the Ministry of Household Affairs has made good progress in Beizhili, but there are some problems in Shandong. The cabinet still needs to draft a charter and submit it to the government. Go to the imperial court and ask His Majesty to make a decision."

Wen Tiren, Liu Hongxun, and Huang Liji heard the words, so they didn't say anything else. Now the cabinet is well under the helm of Xu Guangqi, at least not like when Han Yu was the chief assistant of the cabinet. What I think of is not how to solve it, but how to avoid risks. Of course, the stability of the cabinet on the surface does not mean that there are no undercurrents in private. After all, thinking is a thing that collides all the time.
