The Sun Never Sets Great China

Regarding the principle of criminalizing foreigners, it is not that the officials of the empire did not argue. Although there were restrictions on the residence and business of foreigners in the Ming Dynasty in the previous Ming Dynasty, they were very tolerant of their crimes. Even if they killed people, they were only expelled. In order to let him go back to be disciplined by their own government, they call him a foreigner who doesn't understand etiquette and needs to be educated.Zhang Huahan denounced this kind of statement as an idea that can only be thought up by idiots and fools. In foreign countries, there is no reason why people don't even understand killing people for their lives. I can kill my Chinese citizens at will, so when the first case involving foreigners killing people in the Chinese Empire was presented to Zhang Huahan, he didn't even say much, but just approved a big beheading.

Although there are many precedents before, when receiving this case, the people in the penalty station of the police station still found it difficult. The fight was just a trivial matter. Although the driver was injured and even lost several teeth, no one died. If a group of Fan people commit a crime, order the other party to compensate the coachman for medical expenses, and the matter will be settled with ten strokes of the cane, but this time the person involved in the fight is not only an envoy, but also a general of a country, then it cannot be taken lightly. Although the perpetrators do not usually have envoys, most of them are entourages. If they break the law and are beaten or killed, the other party can only be treated with a smile because of the national prestige of the Chinese Empire. The war between the two countries, or other changes, you can’t afford this responsibility. Because everyone doesn’t know much about Japan, they think that this general is a general of the entire country of Japan, which may cause conflicts in diplomatic relations. They don’t know about this Tokugawa Guangyou is just a general in charge of Japan's land, and now his land is precariously watched by a large number of domestic enemies.

Considering that if there is no punishment, it is even more impossible, not to mention that the enforcement of the police law will make the inspectors trouble themselves, but now that the Chinese Empire is pointing at the front, all the countries around China are invincible, and the self-esteem of the Chinese people has skyrocketed If the coachman refuses to accept it, and spreads everywhere that he protects the country and oppresses the people of the country, then as long as the newspapers are first-rate, the petty officer of the Civil Judgment Office of his own police station will be terminated.

After discussing with several people from the court, one of them said: "Although the beating was ordered by the Japanese general, he didn't do it himself. Let's see if they admit their mistakes to the coachman and make ten blows of the guard stick that beat him." Sample?"

Another person said: "Okay, this will not only appease the coachman, but also prevent the other party from stepping down." Everyone agreed to this proposal one after another.

An hour later, the trial hall came to a verdict on the Japanese beating case, ordering Tokugawa Mitsutomo to pay the driver a total of 460 silver dollars for medical expenses, cosmetic surgery expenses, disability expenses, lost work expenses, nutritional food expenses, etc. The fine of five hundred silver dollars was handed over to the police department, which added up to a total of 960 silver dollars, and the guards who beat people beat people with ten sticks, as an example to others.

The police department is the same as the yamen in the former Ming Dynasty. It is a common thing. However, this time it is the execution of the Japanese, so there are still many people watching during the execution. After watching, everyone will naturally disperse and go back. Just one more thing to talk about.

It's just that this matter is a great shame to Tokugawa Mitsutomo. As a warlord general of the Japanese Tokugawa family who commanded a large army, he just asked his guards to teach a little driver with no winks. After staying in prison for one night, he could only watch his guards being beaten in the lobby for the ordinary people of the Chinese people to point and laugh at. Tian led the team to leave the capital and go to Japan. He vowed that after defeating those Japanese daimyos who opposed the Tokugawa family, he would definitely come back to invade China to recover his face.

Driven by interests, Liu Shijie and Shen Jinlong were very polite to the visits of seventeen Japanese forces including the Kawauchi family, Yamauchi Tadyoshi, Mori family, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, Satake Yoshitaka, and Tamura family, and promised to bring them with them on the same day Inspect firearms and negotiate purchases.

Liu Shijie and Shen Jinlong brought more than 300 people from seventeen Japanese forces including the Kawauchi family, Yamauchi Tadyoshi, Mori family, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, Satake Yoshitaka, and Tamura family to the outskirts of the west of the capital. Let the seventeen Japanese forces accept the firearms left over from the former Ming and Qing Dynasties, and make them willing to pay high prices to buy them. Naturally, let them see the power of the firearms clearly. It is inevitable to choose a sparsely populated place suitable for weapon testing.

Liu Shijie and Shen Jinlong brought more than 300 people from seventeen Japanese forces, including the Kawauchi family, Yamauchi Tadyoshi, Mori family, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, Satake Yoshitaka, and Tamura family, to the field to test the Chinese Revolutionary Army sergeant I had been prepared for a long time, and began to practice firearms in front of seventeen envoys from the Japanese forces. Bird guns, three-eyed guns, large and small Francophones, and various types of artillery were all fired in salvo. There were fireworks everywhere.

Compared with the fast guns and rifles used by the Chinese Revolutionary Army, the firearms of the pre-Ming and Qing Dynasties are smaller in power and range, but their movements are not small at all. Knowing so many things, most people are happy to see the power of firearms practiced by the sergeants, and they can't put it down after seeing everything.

As soon as the firearms show was over, the envoys of eleven Japanese forces couldn't wait to ask Shen Jinlong: "Master Shen, can the Celestial Dynasty really sell these things to us?"

"Of course, of course, of course we sold it. Well, everyone who is willing to buy our weapons can negotiate the price with our financial officials. The number of weapons is limited. Everyone is first come, first served. Those who buy more will give some older ones as gifts. firearms." Shen Jinlong smiled and handed over these bullies to the officials below to bargain.

Liu Shijie glanced at the mission staff of the remaining six daimyos and feudal towns, seeing that the mission staff of the six daimyos and feudal towns had no intention of fighting for it, secretly worried that they would be exposed, but Shen Jinlong was already happily cooperating From ear to ear, the eleven daimyos and the missionaries of the feudal towns bought all the second-hand goods in stock, ranging from 10,000+ taels of silver to more than 30 taels of silver, and the most shabby gadgets and The old antiques were also sent out with them, earning more than 200 million taels of silver.

After the envoys from the eleven daimyos and feudal towns were sent away, Liu Shijie said to the envoys from the remaining six Japanese forces: "Everyone, these weapons are all sold out. Do you need anything else?"

The members of the missions of the six families looked at each other, and a member of the Maori family came out and smiled slightly at Liu Shijie, saying, "Are these rubbish things worth money?"

During the Korean War between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, the firearms were very sharp. Later, the Japanese invented the binocular fire system. At that time, the firearms army of the Ming Dynasty suffered a lot. In addition, some members of the Japanese forces have seen The weapons of the Westerners, and the weapons used by the Tokugawa family in the war with the Tokugawa family. Some Japanese people's understanding of firearms is not lower than that of the Manchus.

If it weren't for these daimyos who couldn't get firearms from the Westerners who signed an alliance contract with the Tokugawa family, even if they could buy them at a sky-high price, they probably wouldn't have come to China's Kyoto at all, so these old firearms can be deceived People from the Japanese forces could not impress the six well-known daimyos and the missionaries of the feudal towns.

Shen Jinlong's complexion changed when he heard it. Compared with the firearms currently used by the army of the Chinese Empire, these firearms can only be described as rubbish, but he couldn't tolerate a local feudal town of Japanese people daring to speak such insults, and his face sank: "You It's too rude, since you think it's rubbish, you don't need to talk about it." Anyway, all the old weapons were sold, and Shen Jinlong didn't like the members of the mission of the Maori family who spoke wildly, so he turned around and left.

Seeing Shen Jinlong waving his sleeves away, members of the missions from the six families immediately came forward to persuade him, and one member of the mission said: "Master Shen, we want to buy some better firearms, but they are sold out anyway. Let's see if there's anything better."

A member of the mission of the Maori family said: "Do you dare to say that these weapons are the weapons that your army is equipped with now? You are equipped with better weapons." Hearing his words, Shen Jinlong flatly denied: "There is absolutely no such thing, these Firearms are the current equipment of our Chinese Imperial Army, if you are not willing to buy them, then I can only express my regret."

Due to the continuous melee in Japan, all Japanese daimyos have no time to send spies to mainland China to investigate, and the Maori family is actually just an inference. It stands to reason that if there are such powerful firearms in the hands of the former Ming and Qing armies, then the firearms in the hands of the Chinese Empire It must not be much worse, so that the Chinese Empire can destroy the Qing Dynasty. How could he know that even the fast guns used by the police and pioneers in the Chinese Empire are better than the flintlock guns, let alone the advanced guns used by the regular army? Rifle with box.

Of course, the six daimyos and the missionaries of the feudal towns are unwilling to spend a lot of money to buy these obviously defective firearms back, but the other party insists that these firearms are belongings of the army, but they don’t know how to expose them, and they have to prevent the other party from knowing. From embarrassment to anger, all the Japanese couldn't help but feel a headache.

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa photographed the envoy of the mission, Tanaka Shishiro, clasped his fists and said: "Master Shen, the firearm we need is a flintlock gun. As for the cannon, it is best to use a red cannon or better, Mr. Shen, please don't let it go!" Besides, there is nothing like this in your country.”

Hearing Shen Jinlong's words gave me a headache. I was afraid that if these people went to the members of the eleven missions and told them that the deal of more than 200 million taels of silver that had been negotiated earlier would be ruined, Shen Jinlong didn't know that these Japanese People have different power camps, and they must retaliate. They are happy to see the daimyos or feudal towns of different powers lose a sum of gold and silver to buy a pile of rags. They will never go to inform, otherwise they don’t need to wait for the eleven missions to leave After that, they bargained with Shen Jinlong.

Liu Shijie saw that the envoy had mentioned the flintlock gun, knowing that the most advanced weapon they knew was the flintlock gun, so he said with a smile: "It seems that all the envoys are discerning, but what I want to say is, We still have some matchlock guns, flintlock guns and red cannons, but they are more expensive, so I don’t know if you can afford them.”

"How much will the two adults sell?" "Yes, the two adults will agree on a price." The members of the mission asked when they saw the main event coming.

"A matchlock gun costs 350 taels of silver, a flintlock gun costs 550 taels of silver, and a red cannon costs 800 taels of silver. Bullets and cannonballs are not included. These are the best weapons we have equipped." Yes, I want a thousand matchlock guns and thirty red cannons." "I want three hundred matchlock guns, five hundred flintlock guns and twenty red cannons." "I want" the matchlock guns and red cannons in stock The clothes cannons were sold out, and [-] flintlock guns were also sold, making another windfall, and the seventeen Japanese missions paid a lot of money and left satisfied.

At this time, it was the beginning of the West’s large-scale colonization of Southeast Asian countries. Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom established colonies in Luzon, Managa, and India respectively. The Dutch East India Company even occupied many colonies and strongholds, but a large number of warships The disappearance of the merchant ship made them gradually feel the invisible sea pressure near the Chinese Empire.

Looking at the line between the sea and the sky from a distance, the boundless sea is sparkling with waves. Constantine is the captain of the Tanzanbuya, the Dutch East India Division. The Tanzabua is an armed merchant ship with 36 cannons on board. Soldiers Together with 180 sailors, he was responsible for exporting deerskin, granulated sugar, and rattan from Taiwan, raw silk, porcelain, silk fabrics, etc. from mainland China, as well as spices, pepper, and amber from the South Asian archipelago to Japan. There is the task of transporting the gold and silver obtained by Japan back to Batavia.

Along with the Tanzabuya, there are two merchant ships, Farah and Dalaria. There are also 24 cannons on the Farah and Dalaria. The number of crew members on the two ships is dozens less than that of the Tanzabuya. people.

The reason why the number of ships is so small is to prevent the invasion of those "pirates". In fact, everyone knows that pirates are Chinese ships, but all the ships and personnel robbed by "pirates" are gone forever. People can correct Chinese ships, and the demand for Chinese goods makes Chinese cargo ships have to deliver goods to Batavia, allowing the Dutch to ship Chinese porcelain, silk, tea, and Chinese unique fragrant soap and washing powder. , laundry detergent, hand sanitizer, shampoo, dish soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, underwear, panties, sanitary napkins, fragrant towels, various measuring tools, pocket watches and mirrors that are cheaper and better in quality than those in Europe, etc. They sell their items to Europe, and the huge profits prevent them from breaking up with China. After all, they are not the only country that can sell to Europe, and the recently rising British sea ships may also get a share, not to mention Spain. ,Portuguese.

Later, the Dutch discovered that if they dispatched fewer ships and walked around the waters off Taiwan, they generally would not encounter those terrible "pirates", so they dispatched no more than three merchant ships each time, and bypassed them far away. China's maritime sphere of influence.

Now these three ships are fully loaded with gold and silver and are on their way back to Batavia. They have already sailed to the South China Sea and there are at most [-] days before they can reach Batavia.Everyone on the boat was thinking about how to enjoy themselves after returning to Batavia to make up for the boring sea voyage these days.

After many days of sailing, many Dutch crew members were bored. They gathered together and began to brag about how many women they had in Japan. For these crew members who are thousands of miles away from home, Japan is undoubtedly a good place , Every time I go there, there will be a lot of profits, and I can relax and relax. I can enjoy the gentle service of several Japanese beauties while soaking in the hot springs. In the end, they can leave with a lot of gold and silver.

The only thing that makes these Dutch people unhappy is that Japan, the profitable market, is not exclusive to them. There are more merchants from the Chinese Empire coming and going there than the Dutch. A large number of merchants from the Chinese Empire sell raw silk, porcelain, silk weaving, and buckskin. Luckily, there are also metals shipped from the Netherlands, as well as spices, pepper, and amber from Batavia, which make their profits five times higher, otherwise they will always earn high times. I'm afraid they will go crazy for the profit.

"Those damned porcelain Chinese, don't they know how to increase the price uniformly, so that they can at least earn several times more?" Constantine was talking about his trip to Japan with his first officer indignantly.

"Sir, those Chinese may have made two or three times the profit when they delivered the goods to Batavia and sold them to us, so naturally there is no need to raise the price." The first mate said truthfully.

This time when three Dutch merchant ships including the Tanzanbuya arrived in Japan, they also encountered a group of merchant ships from the Chinese Empire. Constantine sent people to test the merchants from the Chinese Empire, saying that the two sides could cooperate. , and joined hands to raise the price of Japanese raw silk, but was contemptuously rejected by several merchants of the Chinese Empire. Their attitude and rejection of their request made Constantine very angry.

Constantine was a fanatical white supremacist. The total number of Javanese who died directly under his hands, the aboriginal residents of Taiwan when they occupied Taiwan, and the aboriginals of many Southeast Asian islands totaled more than 100. They died under his orders. There are thousands of natives.In his view, all the yellow races are pigs and barbarians, and should all be under the rule of the Dutch. The reason why the Dutch East India Company asked the parliament to send the main fleet to join Japan with the Manchu Qing to attack China was that It has nothing to do with the fanatical support of him and a group of company leaders. He wants to put this legendary country of gold under the rule of the Dutch, instead of using gold and silver to beg the Chinese Empire to sell those things that drive the West crazy. of silk, porcelain.

It's a pity that the invincible Dutch navy failed to achieve fundamental success in that attack, and was driven out of the Yangtze River by the Chinese navy. I heard that the old Marton Tropp died on the ship before returning home. The pride of the Dutch "Sovereign of the Sea" was also captured by the Chinese.
