Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

"Your Majesty, could you please be a little less..."

Chapter 161 Is this the complete map of all nations?

It is impossible to have less!

Not a single copper coin can be lost!

Historically, two hundred years later, those great powers never showed mercy when blackmailing China!

And this will also be the first step for Ming Dynasty to step into the ocean and compete with Western countries!

You have to be strong enough!

As for whether the Spanish royal family will have any opinions after learning about this matter?

Who cares?

In a word...

You can you up, No can no BB!

In the end, Valdes accepted the war reparations of 227500 taels with tears.

"I heard that the relationship between Spain and the Netherlands is not very good now?"

After he agreed to this condition, Zhu Youxiao gave him a amiable smile.

Of course, this is what he thinks is amiable.

To Valdes, this was no different from the evil grin of a wolf.

"Your Majesty, your wisdom is as bright as the stars in the sky, and you can see through everything in the world."

"You should know that the so-called Netherlands was originally just a province of the great Spanish Empire."

"Those damned rebels, they declared independence while the Empire was at war with other countries."

Zhu Youxiao smiled mysteriously.

"It's getting late, how about we go to the city and talk it over?"

"Although you lost the battle and have to pay me a large sum of money, I can let you make great contributions to your king!"

"If you are lucky enough, it won't be difficult to get the position of governor."

After hearing this, Valdez's resentment at being blackmailed was instantly suppressed in his heart.

He widened his eyes and looked straight at Zhu Youxiao.

This action was considered extremely offensive by others, so Sun Kangwang slapped him directly.

"How dare you! How dare you look directly into the eyes of the Emperor? Who gave you the courage?"

Zhu Youxiao glared at Sun Kangwang and pretended to be angry.

"Hey, don't be so violent. We should be kind and friendly to our foreign friends. Do you understand?"

After saying that, he looked at Valdes and smiled again.

"Well, dear Valdes, are we friends now?"

Valdez nodded quickly.

Whether we are friends or not is not important!

More importantly, he was very curious about the method that Zhu Youxiao mentioned that could allow him to be promoted to governor!

If all this is true, let alone more than 200,000 taels of silver, even if it was doubled, he would be willing to give it out!

As far as he knew, the amount of gold earned by the Governor-General of the Philippines, Selva, during his few years in office could be calculated in metric tons!

What a wealth that is!

"Your Majesty, I, the humble Valdes, am honored to be your friend!"

Afterwards, everything on the dock was taken over by Zheng Zhilong's men, and all the Spanish soldiers were driven together like sheep.

Leave the dock and enter Chicken Coop City.

The city of Jilong is very dilapidated, and both the houses and the streets are rotten.

The ground was littered with all kinds of shells, fish bones, and fruit cores, and even puddles of poop could be seen.

This situation was even worse than the Shenjiying camp he had first seen!

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but frown, and endured the discomfort. Under the leadership of Valdes, he came to the Spanish garrison command post.

The situation here is finally better, at least the disgusting smell is gone.

As soon as he entered the command post, Zhu Youxiao's attention was attracted by a map hanging on the back wall.

It turned out to be a huge world map!

He immediately waved to Youtong and said, "Put that away and keep it well!"

But when Youtong stepped forward and was about to take the map down, he saw Zheng Zhilong frowning.

"Your Majesty, this picture......"

"Isn't there any in the palace?"

Zhu Youxiao: ???

Can anyone tell me, should there be such a thing in the palace?

Anyway, I haven’t seen it!

Shi Bangyao also came closer and glanced at the map, also somewhat puzzled.

"Your Majesty, isn't this the map of the world drawn by the eunuch Sanbao?"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned again!

Is this the complete map of the world?

Isn't it rumored that it was drawn by Li Zhizao and Matteo Ricci in collaboration?

How come it became the painting by Zheng He?

He felt like his brain had become a mess at this moment!

I walked up to it and stared at the world map for a long time. I could confirm that it was very similar to the World Map that was circulated on the Internet in later generations.

But it is not clear whether there is any difference in the specific details.

He waved.

"Except Lord Shi, everyone step down!"

After Zheng Zhilong and others took Valdes out, he asked Shi Bangyao.

"I have never seen this picture in the palace."

"But I seem to have heard that this picture was drawn by Li Zhizao and Matteo Ricci. What's going on?"

Shi Bangyao's eyes widened when he heard this: "Your Majesty, who told you this nonsense? You should pull out his tongue!"

"I have heard of Li Zhizao. He is a Jinshi during the Wanli period and is currently working at the Imperial Observatory."

"But what does this World Map have to do with him? He probably hasn't even been to the Ming Dynasty, so how could he draw such a huge map?"

"This map was compiled by Eunuch Sanbao during his seven voyages to the West, which took him 28 years!"

"Only the people working under Eunuch Sanbao could draw this picture!"

"But I don't know how this map got into the hands of this red-haired devil!"

Zhu Youxiao: ???

Is it really like this? ?

and many more!

Shi Bangyao just said that Li Zhizao is still working in the Imperial Observatory...

It seems that I will have to wait until I return to Beijing to get an accurate answer from Li Zhizao.

He reached out and took the picture off the wall, rolled it up, and said to Shi Bangyao.

"I will have someone investigate this matter. Let them come in."

After everyone came back, he handed the map to Youtong and told him to keep it well, then looked at Valdes.

"You said before that the fleet that attacked the Ming fishermen was not yours. Then tell me, who else would do such a thing?"

Valdez answered decisively without even thinking about it.

"The Netherlands! It must have been done by the despicable Dutch. They love to rob people and then sell them back to the nobles as slaves!"

"They want to put the blame on the great Spanish Navy and start a war between the two countries!"

In fact, Zhu Youxiao had already guessed the answer.

The main red-haired devils in the Taiwan area are the Spanish and the Dutch.

As for Portugal...

Although they can be found in East Asia, most of them are active in the Macau area and are unlikely to run to the coast of Fujian to attack ordinary fishermen.

Zhu Youxiao nodded to Valdes: "I believe your words for now."

"As for the Netherlands, I will certainly not let them off!"

"But before that, I have a business deal. Are you interested?"

Upon hearing this, Valdes quickly remembered what Zhu Youxiao had not finished saying at the dock, and nodded quickly.

"Interested! As long as it's related to business, the humble Valdes is interested in it!"

"I just don't know, Your Majesty, what is the deal you are talking about?"

Chapter 162: The Nouveau Riche with a Lot of Money and a Lot of Foolishness

Zhu Youxiao looked around the furnishings in the command post.

In addition to the map that had just been put away, there were also exquisite porcelains made in the Ming Dynasty on the table in the room.

Then, there were two silk nightgowns hanging on the rack at the door of the inner room.

Obviously, this guy in front of me also likes made in China.

"We have a saying in the Ming Dynasty: No gain, no early rise."

"You have come here from afar, across the ocean, just for profit."

"Therefore, I have decided to open a treaty port in Taiwan. Your merchant ships can enter and leave the port at will after being inspected."

"Of course, your navy must unconditionally withdraw from the chicken coop and fresh water."

"This is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who comes here without a Ming household registration must take off their weapons and accept the supervision of the Ming Dynasty laws."

"You can buy as much silk, tea, porcelain, and other goods as you like from the Ming Dynasty."

"Your Spanish specialties can also be shipped to Ming Dynasty for sale. Of course, you will need to pay a certain amount of tax."

Valdes was stunned when he heard about the opening of the trading port and that merchant ships could enter and leave the port freely.

The Ming Dynasty was established for more than 200 years, and during this period it opened and closed the sea several times, but each time it opened the sea, there was a special restriction.

That is a trading port, and foreign merchant ships are strictly prohibited from docking!

This alone has caused a lot of inconvenience.

Since merchant ships cannot dock, they have to entrust other people to go to the mainland to purchase on their behalf. Only God knows how much profit will be taken away in the process!

He nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice. Just like Zhu Youxiao said, Spain came here for the sake of profit!

He knew that the top leaders in the country coveted the land and population of the Ming Dynasty.

But after being bombarded by mortars, he became more aware that the land of the Ming Dynasty was not something they could even think about.

In this case, trade would be the most advantageous situation for Spain.

"Your Majesty, you are as wise as God, and your mind is as broad as the sea!"
