Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1228 Changes in the South China Sea
After the Ming Dynasty regained the north, there were still many things to do. It took a lot of energy to deal with rewarding soldiers, trialing criminal officials, clearing up the fields, and capturing the shadows hidden inside the Ming Dynasty according to the documents copied from Beijing. .

In addition, Wang Yan summarized the governance strategies of the past few years and put forward a new governance outline. The Ming Dynasty has too many things to do.

Wang Yan originally thought that as long as the Kingdom of Jin and the Mongolian tribes did not provoke any major incidents, he would be able to calmly sort out the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty. He did not think that the Netherlands would stir up troubles again and even dare to kill the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yan had just ascended to the position of supervisor of the state, and he was full of ambitions in his heart. He felt that under his leadership, Daming was heading towards revival, and he had already dominated the world.

Wang Yan saw in the report that He Yi not only tore up the "Ming-Dutch Trade Agreement", but also seized the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty and robbed the goods of the Ming Dynasty. What is even more annoying is that they directly slaughtered the Ming people in Java. for nothing.

Wang Yan just mentioned in "A New Chapter of Senior Citizens" that businessmen should be encouraged to go to sea, and this happened in Nanyang. How could Wang Yan not be angry when he insulted Daming?

Historically, the premise of the industrial revolution was the commercial revolution. Only when the commercial revolution changes the mode of production and creates a huge market can the industrial revolution happen.

The southeast coast and Jiangnan area of ​​the Ming Dynasty are changing from the past small-scale farming production model to the new one, in which commerce plays a key role.

Merchants in the Ming Dynasty were actively expanding the external market while changing the domestic production model.

After signing the agreement with the Netherlands, merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty were able to reach the east coast of Tianzhu and even further afield, seeking to open up a huge market.

The industrial revolution in Britain was not because of how advanced its system was, but mainly because it had completed the commercial revolution before the 60s and occupied a large number of markets.

Only with a market can the production efficiency be improved. Although Wang Yan doesn't know this, the benefits brought about by the commercial reform can be seen, so he absolutely cannot tolerate He Yi's actions.

All the officials in the cabinet saw that Wang Yanla had a long face, frowning in a poignant manner, and led Zhang Huangyan to the political hall on the second floor.

Seeing Wang Yan coming up, several university scholars hurried forward to salute, "I wait to congratulate Your Highness on his enthronement as supervisor."

But Wang Yan waved his hand impatiently: "You don't need to be polite, you have something to talk about!"

After speaking, he walked into the Yizheng Hall to take a seat, then motioned for several people to sit together, and then said to Zhang Huang, "Show the cabinet ministers the urgent report from Governor Chen."

Seeing Wang Yan's gloomy expression, Chen Bangyan didn't know what happened, so he quickly took it first, opened it up, and found that it was an urgent military message sent by the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Probably in June, the Dutch occupying Batavia and Malacca suddenly seized Ming merchant ships traveling to and from Malacca, as well as Ming merchants operating in Java and other places, and began to persecute the Chinese within their sphere of influence.

According to Chen Zilong's beating report, the Dutch have blocked Malacca and prohibited Ming merchant ships from going to Tianzhu. Nearly a thousand Ming people in Java have been killed or injured.

At the same time that Chen Zilong made the report, he had already ordered the Nanyang navy to gather in Champa, and they would go to question the crime only after the imperial court gave an order.

After watching it, Chen Bangyan couldn't help cursing: "Damn He Yi!"

Nanyang trade was the main source of revenue for the Ming Dynasty, accounting for almost [-]% of the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue.The rest of the elders hurriedly took a quick look. After Du Yinxi looked at it, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Isn't my court and He Yi already concluded a peace agreement? It's only been a few years, why did He Yi suddenly change his mind?" ?”

The West at this time is not civilized at all, no different from the barbarians, killing people, and there is no credibility at all.

As for the so-called contracts and treaties, to a greater extent, they are also to protect their interests, and they are not advanced things.

After reading the report, Wang Yan felt very angry all the time.

From the earliest battle of Penghu, since the first agreement was reached between Ming and Heyi, the second agreement was reached after the battle of Liuluowan, and the third agreement was reached after the Ming Dynasty took back Taiwan. In 40 years, this barbarian has tore up the peace agreement three times, violating the interests of Ming Dynasty.

People say that there are only three things to do, and this He Yi is a rascal at all, as soon as he sees the opportunity, he immediately comes up to take a bite.

This is no different from the nomads in the north. No, to be precise, it is shameless. After the Liao Song Chanyuan alliance, there has been peace for a hundred years.

In less than 40 years, the contract was broken three times. Is the agreement signed with Daming a scrap of paper?
Wang Yan said in a sullen voice, "After the first battle in Luowan, the Heyi quietly occupied Taiwan again not long after. After I regained Taiwan, out of consideration for the safety of maritime trade routes, I signed an agreement with the Heyi again, but I didn't want to This barbarian actually changed his mind again and killed my people, it is really unbearable!"

This is always unruly and unreasonable, and the Buddha will get angry when he encounters it.

Yan Qiheng also said, "It seems that it is my Daming's Huairou that let them taste the sweetness."

The capriciousness of the Dutch made Wang Yan very angry. In fact, most powerful countries in the West have this virtue. The Spaniards kidnapped the Mayan king and extorted several tons of gold to redeem him. The king was killed.

Most of these western barbarians are like the tribes of the grassland, they are very barbaric and only believe in strength.

This time Heyi broke the contract, which made Wang Yan completely angry. He gritted his teeth and said: "The lonely king sees that this barbarian is no different from the Manqing, ignorant of reason, ignorant of righteousness, only violence can make them submit."

Previously, Wang Yan believed that the Xiyi were indeed powerful, so he subconsciously distinguished them from the barbarians, and even signed a trade treaty with them as equals.

But this time He Yi's actions made him see their essence clearly, they were just a group of barbarians.

To deal with this kind of unreasonable, disobedient, and greedy country, you have to beat the ground first, and then be reasonable after you are convinced, just like you dealt with the Huns and Turks.

Wang Yan had already decided to do something in his heart, but at this moment Su Guansheng said: "Jianguo, among the barbarians in the west, among the barbarians we have come into contact with, apart from the He barbarians, Xi barbarians, and Fo Langji, we have recently come into contact with Ying barbarians. Among these barbarians, He Yi is the most cunning, they suddenly broke the contract this time, I think there must be something to rely on and a reason, otherwise they would not suddenly offend our dynasty!"

Wang Yanwen calmed down a bit. He Yi has always been cunning, and it is indeed impossible to suddenly break the contract for no reason. There must be reasons and motives.

"What does the Su Ge Department mean?" Wang Yan asked in a deep voice.

Su Guansheng had only dealt with He Yi before, and he was only guessing about the Nanyang matter.

Su Guansheng didn't answer, but Chen Bangyan, who was in charge of the military department, suddenly frowned, as if thinking of something, and then said: "Jianguo, I think of something, I'm afraid the reinforcements from Xiyi have arrived in Nanyang, and the situation in Nanyang has changed. That’s why the contract was suddenly broken.”

After Luzon was defeated by Zheng Chenggong, Spain did threaten to send troops over, but according to Wang Yan's understanding, Xiyi and Heyi are not from the same way. Could it be that they colluded together?

Wang Yan frowned, "Send an order to let Chen Zilong find out the situation in Nanyang immediately. In addition, I must urgently hold a meeting in the council hall!"

　Thank you Xiaoxiaofen for the 5000 reward, thank you for your support, thank you Lao Jian for your 500 reward, and thank you for your support.
