Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 628 Establishing the First Western Colony of Ming Dynasty
"Now the governor has an order. The Netherlands has no way. First harm our Han people first. Therefore, I will punish them today. The Dutch nationals, no matter how high or low, are my old enemies, so no one can forgive them. Today, the governor will set up the Xiyi Company to manage the colonial affairs of the West and allow countries to buy shares, but the governor will determine the ranking of the number of shares purchased according to the number of countries that assisted the Ming Dynasty in suppressing the red-haired fans. The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty today, and so on I also saw it with my own eyes, and I should understand that holding more shares in Daming Xiyi Company will lead to more wealth, so now you must immediately participate in the killing of Hongmaofan, and seal the knife after three months, and the official will follow the killing of the head number to establish the ranking."

Li Mingrui brought the Ming Navy into the National Assembly of the Netherlands Republic and immediately issued such an order, and demanded that Western countries must participate in the suppression of Hongmao Fan together with Daming if they wanted to obtain investment opportunities in Ming Dynasty.

This is Li Mingrui's poisonous plan. He wants to let Western countries participate in the suppression of Hongmao Fan, so as to intensify the internal conflicts of Western Fan and prevent their integration process.

Once England, France, Spain, Holy Rome and other empires participated in the suppression of the Red-haired Fans, it would inevitably arouse the resentment of the Western countries that supported the Netherlands, and it would also deepen the sense of indifference among the Western Fans.

Li Mingrui, governor of Ming Dynasty, wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.

And the Western countries were quite resistant after hearing this order. They were unwilling to participate in the killing of the orangutan in the Netherlands, because they didn't hate the orangomi so much, and even many orangomi were from their own country. However, the threat of Ming Dynasty and the interests of participating in Xiyi Company made these Western countries not want to just refuse.

However, under the secret instigation of the governor Li Mingrui, Spain first participated in the suppression of Hongmaofan together with the Ming Empire. Spain adopted a compromise method and only suppressed Hongmaofan with non-Spanish background.

Yingjili was very angry when he learned that his British Hongmao Fan was suppressed by Spain, and he was unwilling to let Spain monopolize the investment opportunity in Daming Xiyi Company, so he also participated in the suppression, and suppressed the Hongmao Fan with non-English background kill.

Later, France and other Western countries also participated.

Li Mingrui promised that within three months, these Western countries would send an army of no more than 3000 people to participate in the suppression, so the Western countries successively sent troops to suppress these red-haired fans for Daming.

The Navy and Marine Corps of the Ming Empire's ocean-going fleet naturally also participated in the killing. However, the Ming's army is not so ruthless, and if they catch one, they will shoot one directly.

As a result, gunshots continued throughout the Netherlands, and the sound of the troops of the Ming Dynasty and Western countries crossing the border was heard everywhere. The commissioners of the provinces in the Netherlands would also plead with the Ming Empire, but the Ming Empire would not forgive them.

After all, in such a situation where the people of one's own country were slaughtered first, any kindness would be a breach of responsibility for the people of one's own country and a harm to oneself.

For the first time, the red-haired fans in the Netherlands knew the consequences of offending an eastern empire, but there is no medicine for regret in this world, and they would never have imagined that when they killed the Han people at will, one day their own people would suffer the same. punish.

As a result, other western countries realized what would happen if they offended Daming.

The Dutch cities of The Hague, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam have all turned into bloody cities at this moment. Daming has used the most severe method to make the traces of the Western Fans disappear from here, and it is these Westerners who contributed to Daming's completion of all this.

In the beginning, the armies of these Western countries were not very active or even reluctant, but as time went by, they competed with each other after receiving revenge from the orangidan and finding that the other party had already won more orangozan heads than themselves. Sailai, so the knights of these Western countries searched for the orangomi, and killed all the orangomi, and even ran to the territory of their own country for the sake of head count. Sent it back.

Three months later, in the entire Dutch Republic, apart from the personnel of the Ming Empire Ocean Fleet and the Western Observation Group, there is no longer a single red-haired fan.

This piece of land in the rich North Sea and the English Channel area officially became the first colony established by Ming in Western Europe.

Li Mingrui established the investment qualification rankings of Western countries based on the number of people who killed Hongmaofan in Western countries, and decided that Daming alone holds 70.00% of the shares, of which the central government occupies 40.00%, the Ming Ocean Fleet and the Governor of Xiyi occupy 30.00%, Spain, England, France and others share the remaining 30.00%.

Li Mingrui officially changed the Netherlands to the province of Daming Xiyi, served as the governor of Xiyi himself, and established the Daming Xiyi Company, with The Hague as its headquarters.

However, the Great Ming Xiyi Company did not use the wealth accumulated by the original Dutch East India Company and the Dutch West India Company as its original capital, but the funds invested by Western countries as its initial capital.

Naturally, the original accumulated capital of the Dutch East India Company and the West India Company were all transported back to Daming.

Li Mingrui estimated the size of the original Dutch East India Company and the Dutch West India Company and then split them into several shares, determined the original price of each share, and asked the remaining Western countries to subscribe.

Western countries have great trust in the strong national power shown by Ming Dynasty, and they have started to subscribe.

Therefore, Li Mingrui accumulated a large amount of original funds in the form of empty hands and white wolves, and began to build the Xiyi Governor's Mansion and Xiyi Company Headquarters. At the same time, he purchased merchant ships and established the Daming Ocean Fleet Base to be in charge of the trade lines currently controlled by the Daming Xiyi Company. .Because Ming now inherits the trade routes controlled by the original Netherlands, the trade routes that Ming now controls include the Cape of Good Hope, Malacca, the Strait of Magellan, and the North Sea to Northern Europe trade routes.

The staff can only temporarily recruit contract workers from other countries on the spot, but the establishment staff will be filled by new-style educational talents who have graduated from the Imperial Capital University of the Ming Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that Daming not only established the Xiyi Company in Xiyi, the original Netherlands, to start making money, but as a minister adhering to the will of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, Li Mingrui also carried out the Sinicization policy here.

The first primary school of the Daming Han family, the primary school, the secondary school, and the higher school of the Daming Han family were established, and children who became employees of the Daming Xiyi Company were required to enroll in these schools, and they also recruited students from outsiders.

At the same time, Daming also demolished all the Western buildings here, and rebuilt them into buildings with the characteristics of the Han family in the Ming Dynasty. It was not because Li Mingrui could not accept foreign features, but to use this to declare and emphasize that this place is already the territory of the Han family in the Ming Dynasty. .

Western countries dare not comment on Ming’s actions in the Xiyi area, but they have also proposed to their own parliaments or kings in their own countries that we can learn from Ming’s technology, but we must stick to our own ideas, and we cannot be as religious as Ming. church.

Just like "learn from barbarians to learn from barbarians to control barbarians", the consensus reached by Western countries is to learn from Ming's technology to try to check and balance Ming's expansion.
