Chapter 619 Farewell
Ball's courage was scared. He never expected that the Ming Dynasty warships and artillery were so powerful.
If they had known this, they would never have been involved in this matter.
He was bombarded by the shore cannon and beaten up by Huang Fei and led the fleet.
The English Portuguese Combined Fleet consisting of nine warships, only two flagships fled in a panic.
Huang Fei did not pursue them because he was worried about the Luzon war, otherwise they would definitely be wiped out.
After greeting Yan Yingyuan, Huang Fei led the fleet to Luzon to help, but they were still one step late and the battle would have ended long ago.
After hearing Huang Fei's narrative, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but curse:
"This dog-good Englishman is so cunning. He actually made a fuss. If he meets them, he must not let them run away."
Huang Fei bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, their colony has only one small island at present, and it is better for us to send a fleet to take them off in the Mughal Kingdom along the Indian Ocean."
Now the Western power in Southeast Asia has been completely cleared out, and England and Portugal only have a colony in India.
Spain and the Netherlands still have many colonies in Africa and the Americas, and Zhu Youjian is very clear about this.
As for going to India to kill the English and Portuguese colonies, he believed that there was no need. The Ming Dynasty was still developing and the food should not be too ugly.
The neighboring countries have not yet been settled, so why should we go far and wide? The north, northwest and northeast have not yet been recovered.
If the Dutch people hadn't killed the Ming people, the Ming Dynasty would not have touched them for the time being.
"Yu Qian, the notice can be sent out. In order to make the Netherlands and the four Spanish countries suffer, trade with them will be suspended from now on."
Yu Qian bowed and bowed:
"Abide by the order"
This is economic sanctions, which aim to force the Netherlands and other countries to sign unequal treaties with the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the spices, ceramics, silk, tea, cotton, linen, and grain that the West wants now come from Asia, especially the Ming Dynasty.
The two countries of Netherlands and Spain control the trade from Asia to the West. Once the Ming Dynasty cuts off supply and blocks Malacca, their economy will basically collapse.
This is also the main reason why Zhu Youjian believes that they will compromise.
As for England, a small country, Zhu Youjian will deal with him hard, but not now.
Zhu Youjian then announced that he would set off three days later and return to the Ming Dynasty, leaving Shi Lang with twenty iron-armored warships and five thousand naval soldiers.
Now there are Zhang Jiexu, Zhu Cijiong and Mao Wenlong on the Imperial Island, Yan Yingyuan and Zheng Zhibao on the Malacca, Huang Fei on the Ceylon on the Ceylon on the Luzon on the other hand.
The four places can support each other when they need it or when they encounter an attack.
At that time, there was absolutely no country with the ability to attack the four overseas Protectorate Offices of the Ming Dynasty at the same time.
In terms of merchant ships, Huangming Island has two Netherlands shipyards. They are working overtime to build merchant ships and warships Galen ships, which will be sufficient to provide support to all parts of the Southeast Asian region in the future.
There are also shipyards in Luzon, and some of the original forests in Southeast Asia are shipbuilding materials. I believe that a large number of merchant ships and sail warships will be released soon.
The Ming Dynasty now has iron-armored warships, but the construction speed is too slow. As the Ming Dynasty goes deep into the ocean, warships and merchant ships cannot keep up with the demand at all.
Zhu Youjian originally wanted to use the system warehouse to bring the grain back to the Ming Dynasty.
However, I found that the storage space of the system warehouse was not large enough, so I only installed 200,000 stones of grain and more than 20 million taels of silver.
In order to solve the problem of food transportation, Zhu Youjian thought of the patriarchs of the four major families:
"Come here, the patriarchs of the four major tribes met me."
"Abide by the order"
Soon Zhang Shantang and Liu Fengxiang came to the Protectorate's Mansion:
"See Your Majesty."
"No gifts, please sit!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The four knew that the emperor would leave Luzon soon, and they also knew that there was a serious disaster in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.
He was summoning merchant ships to transport food for the Ming Dynasty, but I don’t know why the emperor suddenly summoned them.
Although the four of them are still the patriarchs of the four major tribes, they are also officials of the Luzon Protectorate of the Ming Dynasty. After sitting down on the chair carefully, they bowed and asked again:
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you have to summon me to me at this time. Please make clear."
Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:
"I am about to return to the capital and need a large number of merchant ships, but I don't want to order a forced summon. I wonder if the four dear ministers have any solutions?"
When the four of them heard that the emperor had summoned them for the merchant ship, they hurriedly stood up and reported:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the merchant ships. We are summoning merchant ships. I guess we can summon three hundred large merchant ships before you set off."
Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he heard this:
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, four dear ministers. You tell the merchant ship owner that after transporting the food, they will be returned to the merchant ship soon, and a certain fee will be given. I hope they will fully support the Ming Dynasty's disaster relief."
Luzon is now an overseas territory of the Ming Dynasty, not a colony, and the rebels were basically destroyed. Zhu Youjian could not have plundered Luzon like the West.
The four families hurriedly bowed and bowed again:
"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to be very blessed. Most of the people of Luzon are interested in the Ming Dynasty. They said that they would not charge a fee and donate all the merchant ships to the Ming Dynasty, which can be considered as contributing to the victims of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Youjian smiled and shook his head:
"I know that it is not easy for everyone to live under the exploitation of the colonists. I will not accept their donations. Let's talk about it if your life is better. Just decide this way, go and do it!"
"According to the order, I thank Your Majesty for the kindness of heaven, and I will leave!"
The four of them hurriedly knelt in front of Zhu Youjian, kowtowed three times, then got up and left the hall before turning around and leaving. At this time, their eyes were filled with tears of gratitude.
It’s different, it’s really different. Your Majesty has regarded the people here as the real people of the Ming Dynasty and is really proud of being the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youjian's simple heartwarming words could make the four of them go through fire and water for the Ming Dynasty, just because he had a different identity, he was cruel to the enemy and was a people-friendly emperor to his own people.
The patriarchs of the four major families used their relationship to recruit 300 merchant ships to transport grain for the Ming Dynasty, and the wealthy Chinese businessmen were very supportive.
Some indigenous people have already felt the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the colonists and want to do something for the victims of the Ming Dynasty, but they are too poor to do anything.
They could only secretly swear in their hearts that they would always be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so that they and the people around them could integrate into the Chinese circle as soon as possible, and make a contribution to the stability and unity of Luzon.
The 300 merchant ships in Luzon and the 200 merchant ships transported for the Ming Dynasty on Huangming Island can basically ensure that the victims of the northwest of Ming Dynasty will not go hungry.
These are the main production areas of rice and ripen faster than those in the Ming Dynasty. With the grain bases of the Nanyang Islands, the people of the Ming Dynasty will never worry about food. The days of food shortage in the past will never return.
Three days later, Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty, surrounded by the generals and Jinyiwei and others, boarded the Ming warship at the port.
And on the dock behind them, all the Chinese in Luzon knelt into a large area, unable to see at all. They shouted in long live the Ming Emperor...
