The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 379
On the Daming No. [-] blessing ship, four officials in wide robes and long sleeves stood calmly and calmly against the wind. They were Bian Zhiming, Ruan Dan, Li Ximing, and Shang Muming.

Huang Sheng gave them all the treatment of military officers of the fifth rank, and they were wearing the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, and their clothes fluttered.

These four scholars have seen many wars and know how powerful the Huang family they serve is. They don't understand world history and look down on the Dutch at all.

After observing with binoculars, they found that there is only a small city that is not as big as the Fushan Mountain, and the soldiers probably have less than a thousand soldiers. They even offered advice and suggestions to the Patriarch to take this place, so the artillery facing them was ignored by several people up.

The Ming dynasty made a wonderful appearance, and the Dutch did not dare to make mistakes. Captain Abdul Nuyiz boarded a warship and slowly approached the Ming merchant ship.

Ruan Dan loudly explained in Dutch that Daming came here for trade and had no intention of launching a war, and asked to see the highest official here for trade negotiations.

Under the guidance of Captain Abdu who was skeptical, the Ming merchant ship entered the port smoothly, and more than a hundred Dutch soldiers with live ammunition on the pier lined up to welcome it. Peter Nuiz received the Ming envoy in Zeelandia.

Before the negotiations between the two sides, Bian Zhiming handed over the statement of the Japanese samurai recorded in Dutch by Peter Nuiz.

Peter Nuiz didn't know what kind of document Daming brought, so he looked at it casually, and suddenly his face changed drastically. After reading it, he found out that his son was killed by the Japanese, and he burst into tears.

Abdul Nuyiz hurriedly asked two guards to support the distraught chief to adjust his mood, and asked the Ming army how to obtain these confessions in detail.

Ruan Dan lightly wrote: "The Daming navy came here to fight against pirates on the route, and found that the Japanese Zhuyin ships passing through the Daming waters dared to equip artillery, so the Ming army naturally wanted to check their identities.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese ignored the Ming army's warning and not only stopped the ship, but also dared to bombard the Ming army. Therefore, the Ming army killed more than [-] Japanese pirates in a rage and captured all their Zhuyin ships. "

Captain Abdu stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Daming, for intercepting these Japanese ships. They are indeed lawless pirates. They also committed a murder in Zeelandia City. Nine brave Dutch soldiers were killed by them."

When Hamada led the Japanese warriors to attack Peter, he fought against Captain Abdu’s guards. The Dutch suffered more than [-] casualties and nine people were killed in the battle. Abdu still holds a grudge in his heart. Seeing that the assailant Japanese was slaughtered by Daming in half, he shouted repeatedly. happy.

Ruan Dan said: "In the future, the Ming Dynasty will send a large number of warships to patrol the South China Sea from time to time to combat pirates, maintain route safety and protect legal trade."

Abdu said: "Great, the Dutch East India Company will also fight against pirates and hope to cooperate with your country."

Ruan Dan said: "That's very good. Your country and Daming share the same views on maintaining maritime trade. It's perfectly fine to fight pirates together."

At this time, Peter Nuiz finished crying and came back to start negotiations. Abdu reported to the chief what he had just exchanged with the representative of Daming. The Taiwanese chief finally knew that Ming did not come to snatch their colonies, but came for trade.

The trade negotiations started, and Ming has already flexed his muscles. Of course, everything is easy to negotiate. Peter Nuiz has been messed up by the Japanese, and he is already afraid of the desperate Orientals. He knows that dozens of them dare Carried out a risky attack and arrested his family in one fell swoop.

It’s not the same now, it’s changed to Zeelandia City, surrounded by Da Ming’s heavy troops, if he doesn’t do business honestly, it’s so much fun to just grab it without making a deal, he didn’t launch a surprise attack to catch the highest official of Da Ming ability.

The fourth trade agreement was signed again, which is even more beneficial to the Huang family. Maritime coachmen are not vain. Of course, the price of their transport costs can be controlled. The price of the goods is relatively low. This time there is a taste of an alliance under the city. The Dutch dare not insist too much on themselves Bid, backed down again and again.

Huang Sheng was not worried at all that the Dutch would renege on the contract, because Huang Sheng believed in the contract spirit of the Dutch, especially at this period, when the Dutch were thriving, they valued their credit very much.

The history books of the Dutch record that one of their cargo ships was trapped in the Arctic Circle by sea ice. The Dutch sailors removed the decks on the ship for fuel in order to maintain their body temperature in the severe cold of minus [-] degrees. In the dangerous situation, eight people died.

But the Dutch did an unimaginable thing. They left the goods entrusted to them by others, and these goods included clothes and medicines that could save their lives.

The Dutch sailors relied on hunting to obtain clothing and food to survive until the sea ice melted. This is the highest embodiment of the spirit of agreement in the Dutch.

Huang Sheng admired these Westerners in his heart, they opened their eyes to see the world early.They continue to create world-leading products, they continue to conquer ignorance, and their contributions to the world are remarkable.

So far, the Huang family has successfully reached a long-term trade agreement with the Japanese, Spaniards, Portuguese, and the Dutch. In the future, the Huang family will make a trip to Nanyang every year to make an unknown amount of profits, and the jobs that can be provided to Daming may exceed one million .

Huang Sheng's trade negotiations are not about making money and selling anything. He only sells products with high added value, and only imports resources. The Japanese and all Westerners want to get raw silk. In their dreams, they only want gorgeous silk.

Huang Sheng has gained the strength to control Daming's maritime trade. It's time to formulate the rules of the game. When he returns to Daming, he will form a maritime trade chamber of commerce. The regulations are dead, and no raw materials are allowed to be exported. Whoever dares to sell them can guarantee that their merchant ships will not be able to reach them. Half way.

It is also necessary to unify the pricing and monopolize the prices of silk, Songjiang cloth, porcelain, tea and other special products of Ming Dynasty.

How could Huang Sheng's vision be comparable to that of Zheng Yiguan?In this day and age of the world, which one can match?Moreover, he will not keep a single penny of the huge profits made by maritime trade, and use all of them to build ships, train troops, expand reproduction, and overdraft development.

Whether the Han people have an incomparable population advantage, and then backed by a strong economic foundation and advanced technological power, invincibility in the world is certainly within reach.

After the signing of the trade agreement, Huang Sheng sold the looted goods in the past few days and bought all the metals, cotton, sugar, and spices in Zeelandia. There will be no rice here in the next few years, because Taiwan has no Fully developed, rice self-sufficiency is a problem.

In the end, Peter Nuiz bought a living person and a dead person with the same weight of gold, of course the body of his son and the murderer who killed his son.

Huang Sheng felt very ashamed, and became a despicable villain who demanded a price from his body.

Regardless of him, two thousand 200 taels of gold can comfort the 110 soldiers of the Huang family who died in battle. For the benefit of his own people, Huang Sheng is willing to be a villain through and through.

The Daming Fleet has come to the vicinity of Yao Harbor again. Of course, they have to pay a special visit to Zheng Yiguan. This kid has not left yet, but he is much more honest. Seeing the fleet that has become his nightmare, the hairs all over his body stand on end. How can they be haunted? Do not leave?
The Huang family's fleet just passed by Yaogang, and they didn't even attack Zheng Yiguan's sentinel boat, allowing them to escape, and then sent a sentry boat to the shore, leaving behind three former Zheng Yiguan's pirates who were captured last year.
