After I die, I will live broadcast to Lao Zhu the war of the Ming Dynasty again

Chapter 171 My Ming Dynasty has also started collecting protection fees! ?
"All sea control from Sakura Mansion to the South China Sea is under the jurisdiction of my Ming Dynasty!
All passing ships, especially Dutch ships,
The Dutch government needs to pay 12 francs to Daming every year.

As a guarantee of safety when driving in the waters of the Far East!

Other countries also have to pay protection fees of varying amounts.

Your Majesty, this is the credentials of the Netherlands

This is a document of consent signed by all countries,
This is the deadline they promised to pay the protection fee. "

The next day, at the court meeting, Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Xia Yuanji, the head of the Ministry of Revenue,

Seeing these heavy documents that Zhu Yunxi handed them,

And when Zhu Yunxi read it out, his whole body trembled with excitement!

"Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty has also begun to collect protection fees at sea!?"

Tang He trembled and asked inarticulately:
"May I ask His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, why the number in the Netherlands is more than double that in other countries?!"

Zhu Yunxi burst into laughter. He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and found that the imperial grandfather was also looking at him, so he took a step forward and said to the cultural relic officials standing on both sides:
"Do you want to hear it?"

His stinky behavior can be said to have whetted everyone's appetite.

Fu Youde, who knew about his reverse scale, shouted directly:

"Oh, Your Highness, please speak quickly.

My old Fu really wants to know what those Dutch dogs did.
Let them pay twice as much money as others to obtain the protection of our Ming Dynasty!

Hahaha, it’s fun just thinking about it.

This is showing off in front of foreigners, and it’s the first time I’ve seen money back! "

Otherwise, Duke Ying Fu Youde really doesn’t know how to please Lao Zhu!

Listen to that bullshit he said!

Lao Zhu didn't look good at that time, even though what he said was true.

Ming Dynasty has always been the center of Asia.

Although this is not the first time I have accepted tribute from foreign envoys,

But every minister in the court knew it well.

They came to pay tribute in name, but in fact, they took back more, okay? !

This is like bringing ten taels of silver to pay tribute every time. What is the result?

I want to take back something worth 30 taels or even 50 taels.

This is their ultimate purpose.

Because the Central Plains region is vast, rich in resources, and rich in gold.

No one is a fool. They understand the benefits of simply bowing their head.

Only then did they travel thousands of miles to the Ming Dynasty every year under the guise of paying tribute. It was not obvious during the Hongwu period.

, by the late Yongle period, the disadvantages of this kind of tribute were already very obvious.

Zhu Yunxi was not used to them. His uncle and grandfather told him that in this world,
Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, truth lies within the range of the cannon!

When you are strong, you would be a fool if you do not seize the time to collect interest.
If you accept it, they still have to thank you, because they want much more than this.

Although everyone knows it is one thing, it is another thing to say it in front of everyone!
It would be strange if Lao Zhu was happy because you Fu Youde said it!
However, Lao Zhu is happy today. He didn't even calculate carefully the credentials he just handed over. Just a rough calculation showed that the protection fee that the great grandson could recover for him in one year at sea was as much as More than 40!

You must know that the Ming Dynasty at that time would not exceed 500 million taels of silver in a year, which was almost one-tenth of the year!
The eldest grandson did a great job in this matter!

In addition, other ministers were not idle either. They were shocked and excited and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Speak quickly."Especially Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong.

Ever since he last saw Zhu Qizhen killing Yu Qian, Xu Huizu's heart has turned directly to Zhu Yunxi.

He would rather Zhu Yunxi be a foolish emperor when they are still able to serve the country, than if after his death, the Ming Dynasty that he defended with all his life would appear such an inhuman emperor!
Damn it, Yu Qian was the savior of the Ming Dynasty and the number one savior of the country, but he was actually killed!
From then on, he also developed opinions about Beiping and his sister.

"Your Highness, please tell me quickly, we really want to hear it!"

Li Jinglong even shouted regardless of his identity:

"Quick, quick! Your Highness, please speak quickly, we can't wait even a quarter of an hour!"
It's a pity that I didn't follow you out to sea at that time, otherwise I would have been able to see it first! "

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Grandson, don't be so secretive! There is a story to tell!"

Yang Shiqi was also quite curious.

Even Fang Xiaoru, who has always been mature and prudent, couldn't help but raise his head.
His sharp eyes stared at the high-spirited and tanned boy on the dragon platform.

With eager eyes, waiting to hear a wonderful story.

"Grandpa, this paragraph is interesting only if Zhang Yu and Zheng He tell it.
Because the idea came from me, but the battle was directed by them. "

The hall was instantly quiet.

Zhang Yu stood under the high platform and faced everyone. He did not show off and explained the reason very simply:

"Because those grandsons from the Netherlands want to do business in our Ming Dynasty.
Thinking that our country has not yet lifted the maritime ban, they actually came with their troops.

When we met our returning fleet, we actually deceived His Highness,
Nominally, they are here to negotiate the opening of a trading port. His Highness took a look,
With the large army, they were obviously fully prepared.

Where there is negotiation, they are just preparing to blast the treaty ports with cannons.

So His Highness ordered, fight!
Beat them until they are convinced, otherwise they will be destroyed immediately!
At first they were dissatisfied, thinking that I had few soldiers.

After fighting for a day, I realized that we couldn't be beaten at all.

Then he began to sue for peace, and His Highness offered an annual protection fee of 12 francs.

I thought they would cut it in half, but who knew they immediately agreed!
It's because His Highness is not only bold and careful, but also has a good grasp of their thoughts, that he can have such a surprise. "

Although Zhang Yu didn't talk about the specific battle process, it was refreshing to hear it.

Good guy, do they think our Ming Dynasty navy is just a living wage? !

How dare you bring a large army here!
"General Zhang, how many people did they bring here?!"

"What we saw was less than 2 people."

"No way, Your Highness, you, together with the guards and inner court personnel, took less than 1 people out to sea, how dare you do this to them?!"

Xu Huizu said it was incredible!

"Hmph, His Highness the Third Highness said, there are no foreign enemies that I, Ming Erlang, cannot defeat, and there is no land that I, Ming Dynasty, cannot defeat!"

Zheng He was helping!
"Good guys! You are so brave!"

Xu Da, the God of War, had to lament that he was getting old, but that was at sea!

I didn't realize that these three princes were not serious sailors at sea, yet he dared to confront the well-prepared coachman at sea!
This kind of momentum and energy, don't even think about it, you look like Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Holy shit! That's so awesome!"

"Well, why haven't I seen that His Highness the Third has such a domineering side before?!"

"Good fellow, this tone is more arrogant than His Majesty the Emperor!"

"It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."
