Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 141 Ming-Fa Alliance VS Eight-Nation Alliance?

In fact, Mingyuan coupons have appeared long ago.

But the current Ming Dynasty has always been a situation where physical currency and banknotes are parallel.

Merchants and common people now have a certain degree of trust in Mingyuan coupons.

In fact, Chinese people naturally distrust banknotes.

The banknotes that appeared as early as the Song Dynasty, due to the lack of basic financial knowledge of the court, led to the end of the banknotes in the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties were similar, devalued rapidly, and soon became a pile of waste paper.

However, Mingyuan coupons are different. Mingyuan coupons are a silver-based currency that can be exchanged for corresponding precious metals at face value.

Instant redemption at sight, which has established a very strong

But now Zhu Daohua is asking the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty to reduce the issuance of physical currency step by step, and gradually replace the silver coins and copper coins in the Ming Yuan system with Ming Yuan coupons, the de facto banknotes.

This is to promote the reform of the financial system of the Ming Dynasty.

The Royal Bank of Korea is the de facto central bank of East Asia.

At the same time, it is still the biggest support bank for East-West trade.

A considerable part of the gold and silver excavated from South America every year has entered the treasury of the Daming Royal Bank-who made the ratio of Daming's trade surplus now even greater than that of the world's factories in later generations.

therefore.

The current Daming Royal Bank is strong enough to issue convertible banknotes.

"The implementation of the "Banking Law" this time is not only to start replacing silver and copper coins with Mingyuan coupons, but also to rectify the current silver and copper coin markets. This is not just for making money, it is for promoting industries and prospering the market!"

Zhu Daohua said.

What is capitalism?

It's not rich or capitalism.

When capital circulates, turning money into capital is capitalism.

So what is money?

Money is actually a special commodity, which is equivalent to precious metals in this era.

Silver, gold, these are money.

Right now, Huaxia is definitely not short of money.

From the mid-Ming Dynasty, after the opening of the Great Navigation Era, the world market was formed, and a large amount of silver in this world began to flow into China.

Let Huaxia, a country with no precious metal mineral resources, become the country with the most precious metals in the world.

And there are many rich people in East Asia.

There are the so-called five major merchant groups: Cantonese merchants, Huizhou merchants, Shanxi merchants, Zhejiang merchants, and Jiangsu merchants.

But money is not capital.

The obvious contrast is Zhu Daohua and the merchants of Shisanhang.

If the total capital.

The money of these Guangdong businessmen must be much more than the working capital in Zhu Daohua's hands.

But the money of Guangdong merchants is dead money, the kind that can only lie moldy in the warehouse.

Can't produce much benefit.

But Zhu Daohua's money.

That's hot money.

In circulation all the time.

Being able to use that money to drive more money.

This is capital.

Money that moves.

So let the market liven up.

The money in Zhu Daohua's hands alone is not enough.

It is also necessary to pry out all the moldy silver buried in the cellars of those local tyrants.

Let these money participate in the link of market circulation.

Turn these accumulated funds into fuel to promote the industrial revolution of Ming Dynasty.

And in the process.

Both the bank and the Ming court will benefit enormously.

At present, there are still many "convertible banknotes" like Mingyuan notes in the world.

But no one will really issue banknotes with [-]% reserves.

There is one silver coin, and it is not too much to issue a silver dollar certificate of three and five yuan.

The difference between the reserve and the amount actually issued.

These are capitals created out of thin air.

these capitals.

It is the capital to support Ming Dynasty to continue the war!
With the support of a bank that controls the financial order in East Asia, it is impossible for Daming to be short of money.

And as Daming's territory grew larger, the bank could issue more banknotes.

Ming's expansion.

And not just the expansion of military hegemony.

It also includes the expansion of industrial hegemony and financial hegemony.

Only when there is profit in expansion, will the future Ming court embark on this evil path of competing for colonies around the world.

"Issuing bonds and issuing banknotes are two-pronged. It is impossible for the Ming court to be short of money in the short term. Don't worry about the private money of the lonely king."

After Zhu Daohua finished speaking, he changed the subject.

"How is the team training situation in the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Sichuan? Have Sun Shiyi and Dong Gao responded?"

Luo Fangbo hurriedly said: "They still hope to return to the village, and they are willing to disband the regiment on the premise of retaining their property."

Zhu Daohua snorted coldly when he heard the words: "Do they think that shrinking into a ball can make the lonely king be afraid?"

"They probably think that, compared to the cost of attacking the city, you might allow them to keep their land and property and go home."

Luo Fangbo shook his head and said.

"It seems that they think that the blade of the lonely king is not sharp enough. Is Fujian ready?"

Zhu Daohua asked.

"Everything is ready. The Fourth General Zhao has arrived in Fuzhou with three brigades and 1 people. You will start storming Fuzhou City with your order."

"The lonely king will let the Generalissimo's Mansion issue an order to catch a model and let these regiment leaders know the price of resistance!"

Zhu Daohua said.

This model is the local wealthy family in Fuzhou.

Jinghai Hou Shijia of Qing Dynasty.

They are the descendants of Shi Lang who led the troops across the sea to defeat the Ming Zheng regime.

After all, everyone knows.

This Shi family was the executioner of the last regime that held the banner of Ming Dynasty.

It will definitely not be accepted and understood by Xin Daming now.

So this model is just right.

No one would think that Daming's methods were so cruel that they could deter the regiment training in various provinces.

After Zhu Daohua finished speaking, he couldn't help thinking of something.

"Duke Lin should be back, right?"

Zhu Daohua asked.

"According to the plan, he should come back before the Chinese New Year, about three months away."

three months.
I don't know what's going on in Europe right now.

Should Louis XVI be arrested?
The French Republic should be established.

The anti-French alliance led by the British should also start to gather and prepare to attack France.

What made Zhu Daohua more concerned was the reaction of the British.

During this period of time, the British East India Company was ready to move, and even looted the Ming merchant ship.

All these made Zhu Daohua realize that with the advancement of Ming's industrialization.

The industrial competition between Ming Dynasty and Great Britain has already started.

And this is the highest priority for the British Empire to resolve competition.

That is force.

In this regard.

Zhu Daohua thought it was necessary for him to be prepared.

even when necessary.

Seek to station an intervention fleet in Western Europe!
Just where to stay?
At this moment.

A fleet flying the sun and moon flag sailed past the Cape of Good Hope.

The ship type used by this fleet is the improved Chinese-style big bird ship type.

Not many cannons are equipped.

But the advantage lies in the stronger load capacity and endurance.

Escorting the fleet were eight schooners.

These ships are equipped with 90mm front-loading rifled guns, which are much more powerful than the wooden tail fin arrows used before.

The kinetic energy of the bombardment shells used by the Ming army before was not enough to penetrate the board of the sailing battleship, so a barbed arrow could only be installed on the shell head.

Used to stick on the ship plank to explode.

The steel-shelled shells used now have enough kinetic energy to penetrate the plank of any sailing battleship, and send the shells into the cabin of the enemy ship to explode.

On a big bird ship.

Lin Dagong, the former Consul General of Ming Dynasty in Europe, looked at the calm sea, but he was still thinking about the amazing news he brought back from Europe.

The first is the establishment of the Anti-Ming League.

The British took the lead.

There were Spaniards, Portuguese, Dutch, Austrians, Ottomans.

There are also two states in the German region, the Elector of Hanover and the Principality of Oldenburg, which are closely related to the United Kingdom.

A total of eight European countries formed the Eight-Nation Alliance, forming an alliance in the name of maintaining international order and European interests.

Of course.

Those who can send a fleet are the British, the Spaniards, and the Dutch.

The British and the Dutch sent their fleets from the mainland, first to the Indian colonies.

The Spaniards' fleet departed from the Viceroyalty of New Spain in Spain, which is Mexico.

The fleet strength of the Governor General of New Spain is even greater than that of the Spaniards in Europe.

For the Spaniards, the Viceroyalty of New Spain and the trade route from New Spain to Manila were their lifeblood.

And now both lifelines are threatened by the newly rising Ming—the Ming and Qing are obviously very different, they have a very strong interest in the ocean, once they find the Pacific route to America, the Spanish colonies in America We are about to face the threat of Daming.

Therefore, the Spaniards—mainly New Spain—are full of energy for this anti-Ming alliance.

At about the same time as the Anti-Ming League, there was also an Anti-French League.

There are six countries participating in this alliance.

Led by Holy Roman Emperor Franz II.

The British Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Spanish Empire, the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of Sardinia formed an alliance to encircle it from all sides on land.

Eliminate the emerging revolutionary French Republic and restore order to European monarchy.

Several core countries of the Anti-Ming League and the Anti-French League overlap.

Therefore, the anti-Ming and anti-French alliances can basically be regarded as the same alliance.

As such.

The emerging French Republic naturally seeks to warm up with Da Ming's newspaper group—mainly hoping to get support from Da Ming.

Including economic and military support.

The French Republic can exchange some technology and intelligence from Europe.

The two parties could even form an alliance.

Now the special envoy to Ming Dynasty of Maximilian Robespierre, the chairman of the National Assembly of the French Republic, the revolutionary fighter of the French revolutionary Jacobin faction, the close friend and close comrade-in-arms of Mark *** Louis de Saint-Just Standing beside Grand Duke Lin.

"Your Excellency, the Ming-French Alliance is not something I can decide. It can only be done with the permission of King Ming. But Ming will definitely assist France in its glorious and just struggle against aggression."

Grand Duke Lin turned his head to look at the unbelievably beautiful Louis de Saint-Just and said.
