The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 766 Precautions for Raising Bandit Arrogance (Please recommend a monthly ticket)

The expression on Zhu Hongyu's face gradually became meaningful.

After pondering for a while, he spoke.

"Since the Qing army has already sent troops to conscript the Japanese, it is almost time for me, Ming Dynasty, to send troops to recover North Korea!"

Jurisprudentially, after the king of Joseon requested to be included, the current North Korea already belongs to Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Hongyu couldn't stand the fact that such a large piece of fat with almost no bones continued to fall into Man Qing's hands!

The Korean royal family has publicly stated that it is attached, and the forces in North Korea have been swept away by the Qing Dynasty.

Coupled with the millions of people in North Korea with a high degree of Sinicization, isn't it just a piece of fat without bones?
If you can eat the fat of North Korea, and then migrate the population of North Korea to Liaodong, Sichuan, Southwest and other places where labor is in short supply.

In a short period of time, a large number of acres of land that can provide taxes can be added to Daming.

Daming's agricultural tax will be greatly increased in a short period of time.

Although he is unwilling to bear the burden, even though Zhu Hongyu has been supporting industry and commerce over the years, the agricultural tax still occupies a pivotal position in Daming's fiscal revenue.

As for the large-scale migration of Korean population into Liaodong, Southwest and other places, will it cause Koreans to occupy the magpie's nest?
Actually don't worry!

One is because North Korea has a high degree of Sinicization, and those displaced people can easily be assimilated by the local Han people.

The second is don't fucking relocate people to one place. If you disperse the people, you can move 300 to [-] people in a county.

In this way, these two or three hundred people will only be assimilated more quickly.

However, if tens of thousands of Koreans migrate to a place, wouldn't the Koreans have to occupy the magpie's nest?

How do you say that, big mixed houses, small clusters!
As long as the imperial court operates properly, there will be no problem!
Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, and opened his mouth to call the generals of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to discuss the matter of sending troops to recover North Korea.

……

North Korea, Busan!
After the New Year's Eve, the main force of the Qing army began to dispatch, gathering from the entire territory of North Korea towards Busan.

A large number of troops gathered, and a large amount of military equipment, food, grass and other materials piled up like mountains in the Port of Busan.

Ships of all sizes were recruited by the Qing army to transport troops and supplies.

The current Qing army doesn't care if it is a sea-going ship or not. As long as it can float on the water, even a small sampan in the whole of North Korea is within the scope of requisition.

On the sea outside Busan Port, countless large and small ships are densely covered, almost covering the entire sea surface.

When the breeze blew, the sails fluttered against the wind, almost covering the entire sea.

Kangxi stood at the port of Busan, looking at the densely packed ships, feeling agitated.

"Let's go!"

With Kangxi's order, the sound of war drums and salutes resounded throughout the Pusan ​​port.

The forward of the Qing army pulled anchor and sailed towards Tsushima Island.

Watching those large and small ships leave, Kangxi also turned and left the port.

But he didn't return to Xingyuan, but went straight to the barracks, and he wanted to train the new army himself.

Because for him, that new army is the foundation for him, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, to settle down!
Although the rations, salaries, and ordnance of the new army were being deducted for no reason, even the soldiers were mostly just a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, this did not prevent Kangxi from showing interest in his own new army!

Only by watching the new army drill, Kangxi can feel that he is really an emperor, not a dispensable puppet.

……

In Busan City, a beautifully decorated shop!

Ye Bilong sat opposite a Ming businessman.

The two sat together drinking tea and chatting, although Ye Bilong was a cabinet minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but faintly, it was the imposing manner of the Ming businessman who had the upper hand.

When Ye Bilong met with this Ming businessman, what they wanted to discuss was the matter of renting a ship.

The Qing army wanted to cross the sea to conquest the Japanese, but now it was just a vanguard, and almost all the large and small ships of North Korea were conscripted away to barely make enough.

If you really want to wait until the main force of the army goes out, the ships needed will definitely be massive.

The ships that the Qing army currently has are definitely not enough.

Now in the entire East Asia, there are enough ships to allow the main force of the Qing army to cross the sea, only the Daming family!
In order to get enough ships to facilitate the army to cross the sea, Ye Bilong could only find a businessman from Daming to discuss the matter of chartering a ship to cross the sea.

Ye Bilong said.

"President Zhang doesn't have to worry that my Qing Dynasty will borrow your ships and not return them. My Qing Dynasty is a country anyway, and integrity is still necessary."

"As for the deposit, I wonder if we can discuss it?"

The businessman surnamed Zhang couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this.

Manchu has credibility?Whoever believes this is an idiot!
Not to mention that the current Manchu Qing Dynasty has fallen to the point where it is necessary to cross the sea to conquer the Japanese to survive, and there is no need to talk about credibility at all.

Even the Manchu Qing Dynasty in its heyday was not a master of credibility.

"Containment, it's not that the words are ugly, but that this matter is really difficult!"

"You have too many ships to rent. If there is not enough deposit, I can't persuade the members of the trading company to lease the merchant ships to you."

The businessman surnamed Zhang represented the chamber of commerce and came to negotiate with the Manchus on leasing ships and letting the Manchus go across the sea to conquer the Japanese.

He is not alone, there is a huge interest group behind him!
Even, this interest group has the royal endorsement, otherwise, he would not dare to do business with Man Qing.

This matter, but a bad one will bear the reputation of being a collaborator and traitor!

With the support of this interest group, the businessman surnamed Zhang is qualified to negotiate terms with Ye Bilong.

Not to mention, it is still Ye Bilong who unilaterally asks him.

"My Qing Dynasty has now invested a lot of money and food in preparing to conquer the Japanese across the sea. A lot of money and food have been turned into ordnance supplies."

"Furthermore, the deposit you are asking for is too much, and our Daqing is also in difficulty now, and we will not be able to come up with that much deposit for a while."

"Chairman Zhang, let's be flexible. At worst, when the war against the Japanese in the Qing Dynasty begins, your Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for all the cashing in of the spoils."

Realizing spoils is a big business, and the profits contained in it are not much less than direct grabbing.

And the business of cashing out the loot is also the most important bargaining chip in Ye Bilong's hands!
After hearing the words, President Zhang pondered for a while and then spoke.

"Yeah, if you want to rent a boat without paying a deposit, that's definitely impossible!"

"Those ships are also our wealth and life to us merchants. It's not because we don't trust Qing Dynasty, but because we dare not gamble with our wealth and life."

"Don't look at me asking for a lot of deposits now, but when you return the ship, the deposit will also be returned."

"If you really want to do this boat leasing business with me sincerely, why would you care about how much the deposit is?"

"Anyway, the deposit is only deposited with me first, and it will be returned to you sooner or later when the transaction is over!"

President Zhang said earnestly.

The corner of Ye Bilong's mouth twitched, feeling a little helpless in his heart, sure enough, free whoring is not so easy to do for free!

The other party is not stupid!
Now that the idea of ​​whoring for free has come to nothing, Ye Bilong is ready to discuss business seriously.

After pondering for a while, Ye Bilong spoke.

"If that's the case, I might as well just buy some ships. I wonder if your Chamber of Commerce has any ships ready to sell?"

President Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The current Daming is short of ships, but not short of ships!
What Daming lacked was a sea-going ship capable of sailing the ocean and traveling around the world.

However, there is no shortage of boats running inland rivers and coastal waters. Not only are there no shortages, but the stock is still very large.

If a batch of old ships can be disposed of, and a batch of funds can be collected for the construction of new ships and sea-going ships, that is also possible.

Anyway, the current Manchu Qing is running between Japan and North Korea, so there is no need to make the ship too big!

Presumably, even if Daming sells some old inland river boats, Man Qing probably wouldn't refuse them.

Hearing this, President Zhang stroked his beard and said.

"Boats, of course there are!"

"It's not impossible to sell!"

"Our chamber of commerce now has three [-] material blessing boats, [-] [-] material blessing boats, and more tank boats, bird boats, and rushing boats for sale."

The things President Zhang said are basically inland watercraft, and they are still the kind that have a long service life.

Almost retired as firewood!

The only ones that can barely be called Shanghai ships are those Fuchuan of different tonnages!
Hearing this, Ye Bilong frowned subconsciously.

"What I want in the Qing Dynasty is a sea-going ship, but among the ships that you sell, except for those lucky boats, there are not many sea-going ships!"

When President Zhang heard this, he just said with a smile.

"All you need is a tool for crossing the sea. From North Korea to Japan, the strait in between is only tens of miles, not far at all. It doesn't have to be a sea boat to cross the sea."

"And, more importantly, the Wa Kingdom is now closed to the outside world, and its navy is not strong. The ships we sell are enough for you!"

The reason why the Chamber of Commerce refused to sell new ships or a large number of sea-going ships to the Qing Dynasty was not only because of the need to deal with a large number of old inland river boats, but also because of the need to limit the force of the Qing Dynasty.

It's okay to raise bandits, but this bandit can't be too big!

Otherwise, the Houjin back then would be a lesson for the past!
Later Jin was able to grow bigger, to put it bluntly, it was the disaster that the Liaodong Army raised the bandits arbitrarily at that time!

The precedent is right in front of us, Daming won't overturn his car twice in the same pit again!

Daming can support the Manchus to conquer the Japanese, but they must not allow the Manchus to have the opportunity to bite Daming back.

And restricting the development of the navy forces of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is out of such considerations!

As long as the Man Qing conquered the Japanese and the main force went to the Japanese country, Daming would take action to completely abolish the Man Qing navy.

Cut off my way out of the Qing Dynasty!

Guarantee that I will not go into the sea with the Qing Dynasty chips!
And then, no matter whether Manqing wanted to or not, he could only stay in the three islands of Japan, and fall in love with and kill his Japanese friends who had a good life.

Want to cross the sea and return to the mainland?

Feed the fish in the sea, go you!
As for why it is the three islands of Japan, not the four islands.

It is entirely because the current Hokkaido is still owned by the Ezo people.

And as we all know, the Ainu people have been my brothers since ancient times, the blood is thicker than water!

When Ye Bilong heard the words, hesitation flashed across his face, but seeing President Zhang's attitude, he didn't mean to soften or change, so he could only speak.

"That's fine too!"

"If I place an order now, when will you be able to ship it?"

President Zhang pondered for a while before speaking.

"It depends on how many ships you want."

If the Qing Dynasty didn't need many ships, maybe the Ming Dynasty's ships in North Korea could meet their needs.

If the Manchu Qing wanted a lot of ships, they might have to be transported from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty!
When Ye Bilong heard this, he smiled and said.

"The more the merrier if the price is right!"

"..."

As the agreement was finalized, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Ye Bilong ordered people to serve tea.

Halfway through drinking tea, Ye Bilong asked.

"I bought so many ships in one go to make warships. I wonder if Daming can sell a batch of naval guns to Qing?"

Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty could cast its own cannons, the quality of the cast cannons was considered to be the top of the same period in the world.

But the gap between the cannons made by Man Qing and those of Ming Dynasty is not so big!
Ye Bilong feels that now that they have purchased so many ships from Daming in one go, the interest relationship between the two parties can be described as profound.

Now that he wants to buy a batch of artillery, he should not refuse to pay for it!

"Although Japan's navy is weak because of its seclusion, there are still threats from time to time."

Ye Bilong used the so-called Japanese Navy as an excuse to add another reason to the person in front of him.

But President Zhang laughed when he heard the words.

"It's hard to say, I still need to go back and ask the court for instructions!"

"Businessmen have the final say on business matters, but buying arms requires the approval of the imperial court. I don't want to be like the eight families of Shanxi merchants, and the nine clans go to Caishikou together."

Seeing this, Ye Bilong felt a little unnatural on his face, but he didn't continue to pester him.

We are all grown-ups now, and an adult's disapproval is actually a refusal. There is no need to be too entangled, so as not to hurt face.

To be honest, some people are like dog lickers, I really can't blame other girls for catching you!
An adult's disapproval is a rejection, and people must be self-aware.

……

Tsushima!
The sea outside the port was covered by a large group of ships, and the flags with Qing characters were flying high.

The densely packed fleet is coming to Tsushima Island together!
The harsh sirens rang through the entire pier!
Panic spread rapidly under everyone's gaze like a plague.

In Tsushima Fan's house, the contemporary feudal lord Zong Yigao was constantly pacing in the main room.

Just now, the retainers of Zongyi's family at the pier hurriedly came to report that the Qing invaders had attacked.

When Zongyi Gao heard this, a scene of astonishment and fear suddenly appeared on his face.

Qing invaders attack!

Although the Tsushima domain occupies a favorable location and is quite rich due to trade with North Korea, it lacks force.

How can he be the opponent of the cruel and savage Qing bandits?
That is the Qing bandits, who once defeated the Ming Dynasty and ruled the Central Plains, invaded North Korea several times and swept the monks for three thousand miles, and the Qing bandits who once conquered the grasslands and let the Golden Family surrender!
