During this period, I don’t know how many times I was defeated by Daming, but in the end, Dashun’s army survived and survived, not to mention, it has grown and grown! And Daming has thousands of miles, millions of troops, and massive human and material resources. The incomparably rich resources have been exhausted by the Dashun Army! Now it is in a strategically passive situation! The Dashun Army has turned its back on the guest and took the initiative to attack the Ming Army! The war, especially the two organized and disciplined The war between the two forces is extremely complicated, and it is not enough to compare the account data.

  Intelligence information will never be out of date! If Daming could accurately find the hiding place of Li Zicheng and other cadres, I am afraid that Li Zicheng would have been solved by Daming long ago, and he would not have fallen into the field today.

  If it wasn't for Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty who abolished his martial arts, and when he ascended the throne, the two intelligence agencies of Dongchang Jinyiwei were withdrawn, then he would not have been concealed by the people below.

  It's not like he's going to make a fool of himself, and now the palace is incompetent and furious! For the formation of intelligence agencies, Lin Feng attaches great importance to it! For him, he controls the army, money bags, powers, and intelligence agencies.

  Then, he doesn't need to be too concerned, he can make the territory grow rapidly while lying down, and he can also firmly control the control of the territory and follow his path.

  When the intelligence agency is in control, no one can hide him! The weakening and loss of control of many dynasties, not all began when the intelligence agency lost control! Therefore, the intelligence agency lost control, which caused a chain reaction, resulting in personnel power, financial power, Even military power was gradually lost.

  This is like fighting a war, the territory is lost piece by piece, and in the end, there is no power to come back.

  Now Weihaiwei is fully prepared for war, all kinds of strategic materials are frantically collected and reserved, and the intelligence information war has started quietly in unknown places.

  Under Lin Feng's order, the intelligence personnel all over the land of Shenzhou began to dispatch,

  Crazy sending back information.

  Although the way of sending letters is very backward, there are only two ways of manpower and flying pigeons, but in this era, it is enough.

  After all, the slow transmission of information also means the flow of people is slow, which naturally slows down the development of everything.

  It is impossible to change three times a day, and things can change rapidly.

  Following Lin Feng's quiet order, the full-scale preparations for the battle began quietly, and the atmosphere of the entire territory began to change.

  Many people with a keen sense of smell began to gradually realize that the atmosphere of Weihaiwei was a little strange and wrong.

  Sea Trade Center.

  This is the trading center of Weihaiwei Import and Export. All kinds of materials and commodities are listed for quotation, which shows the import price and export: price.

  It has almost become the prototype of a futures market.

  However, futures trading has not yet been implemented.

  Futures trading is to buy and sell items in the future according to the current price.

  For example, the price of rice, if the price of rice is low at this time and you feel that it will rise in the future, you can buy rice futures.

  At that time, the price of grain has really risen, so if you sell the futures in your hand, or pick up the goods in person, you will make a profit.

  The futures trading center is the product of the prosperity of the commodity economy. Lin Feng will consider establishing it in the future, but not now.

  At this moment, the sea trade center is crowded with people, and a large number of merchants are looking at the price displayed above, considering what kind of goods they should pull on their next ship.

  "Hey charcoal, the price of saltpeter has begun to rise sharply, and the price of sulfur has also risen slightly. If I remember correctly, these three are the raw materials for making gunpowder. Now the price has gone up, does that mean that it is necessary to Fight!"

  "I haven't heard of the news of a war! In the past few months, the prices of these three items have been rising again, and Weihaiwei has been buying frantically, but with Weihaiwei's navy, they have occupied a large number of sulfur mines in the Japanese country. After mining, the price of sulphur has dropped a little, but not much, and it's very stable."

  "In this way, Weihaiwei has always been: stockpiling these three raw materials and frantically producing gunpowder!"

  "It's hard to say. In the past two months, the navy has been: deploying troops, their artillery warships, which are big consumers of gunpowder!"

  "Look! Look! The prices of iron ore and rice have also started to rise!!"

  "Iron ore can be used to make iron and steel, and it is extremely useful, which doesn't mean much.

  However, the price of rice in Weihaiwei has remained stable at the price of one copper plate per pound for nearly a year, and this time it has risen by [-]%%. This is obviously a large-scale collection of grain reserves. With the grain reserves of Weihaiwei , How many people do we need to feed, so that the price of rice will increase by [-]%, and we will import rice on a large scale!"

  "Looks like it's going to be a fight!"

  "I heard that on the battlefield in Zhongzhou, the Dashun Army was victorious, is it related to this!"

  "Hey, don't tell me, if the Dashun Army is victorious and defeated the Daming Army in the decisive battle, then the situation of the whole world will have an unprecedented change!!"

  "It's going to change!!"

  ""

  Many businessmen were talking about it, and most of the people who came in and out were businessmen from sea trade, from all over the world, not from Weihaiwei.

  The so-called truth becomes clearer and clearer. With the increasing influence of Weihaiwei, the scale of sea trade transactions has become larger and larger. The result is that any fluctuation in the inland of Ming Dynasty may affect all kinds of materials. price fluctuations.

  Businessmen who have been doing this all year round have become accustomed to such trivial things that cause price fluctuations.

  But this time, all the materials related to the war have skyrocketed in an all-round way! Immediately, many businessmen looked bad! One by one, their faces were gloomy and uncertain.

  The change of the power structure in China will make a big difference. This kind of thing is related to everyone in the world! Don’t think that it doesn’t matter if you are not a Daming person. Daming’s economy occupies more than half of the world’s economy. Any fluctuation will be in the capital market. Rising waves.

Chapter [-]: Violent market reaction

  With the advent of the era of great voyages, the commodity economy of Daming has developed to a very prosperous level, especially in the south of the Ming Dynasty, its economic form is almost equivalent to two worlds in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

  The influx of overseas merchants has also made the wealthy and wealthy squires in the south of Daming rich! Why has Daming been unable to open the sea? This is not without reason! A huge interest group.

  For this interest group, banning the sea is good. With this ban, they can continue to monopolize Daming's sea trade transactions, and they don't need to pay taxes! The joys of living these days can be said to be able to flow continuously while lying down. Make big money.

  Once the sea is opened, it will be troublesome, the monopoly position will be broken, the competition will intensify, and they will not have a good life.

  As a result, this strange situation emerged. On the surface, Daming banned the sea, but in fact, Shanghai trade was booming.

  What is even more bizarre is the temptation from Emperor Jiajing during the Jiajing period.

  He began to tighten the scale of the prohibition of the sea. If the sea is to be banned, it will be banned to the end. Who knows that it will lead to the opposition of countless people. There are countless powerful and rich people in the court. Even if he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his name The owner of this land does not dare to continue to ban it.

  All of a sudden, I broke the jar and threw it down, and all of a sudden, the sea was banned, and the sea was opened! Who knows, this time, the chaos will be even bigger! The entire southeastern part of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be undefended, and the Japanese invaded at will.

  If Emperor Jiajing didn't understand that there was a problem, he would have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

  This temptation, the result of his temptation, completely scared him! Whether it is to open the sea or completely ban the sea, it is the rhythm of chaos in the world! I finally realized that I am powerless to fight this situation, and I cannot turn the tide. , Well, in despair, he just didn't bother to care about anything, and went to cultivate immortals with peace of mind! In the Ming Dynasty, why did there appear so many strange-looking emperors! It's not because the official gentry group is too powerful Now, let Emperor Daming have the same thing, the following cabinet bosses, let him do everything.

  Realizing that he was unable to salvage this situation at all, and in despair, he began to let go of himself! Those who were unwilling to let go of themselves, and those who wanted to save their Zhu family, all died unexpectedly! Just like Emperor Tianqi Emperor Tianqi learned the lessons of the previous emperors and was unwilling to end the game in person, so he directly released the eunuchs of the East Factory, and let all the slaves and mad dogs in his family start to frantically bite people and interests.

  All kinds of business taxes and mining taxes are collected, and the food is full of oil, and the treasury is rich! When Emperor Tianqi saw it, he realized that these people are too rich, and he also wants these dazzling silver. Ah! So the released dog bites people even more severely, tearing off a large piece of meat from the officials, squires, wealthy and businessmen.

  As a result, the Guanshen Group began to fight back in an all-round way, and the Emperor Tianqi was "fallen into the water".

  Up.

  The strong Apocalypse Emperor, like a weak little girl, fell into the water and died in the cold! In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, all the sources of struggle were related to sea trade transactions! A large amount of silver poured in, everyone I want to pounce on it and take a bite to share this profit cake.

  The scale and prosperity of its maritime trade transactions are beyond everyone's imagination.

  Since the time of Zhu Li, Daming seemed to be indifferent to overseas affairs, but in fact it was in the interests of the imperial court.

  The benefits were gradually swallowed up by those officials and gentry groups.

  When he went to the Western Ocean, Zhu Li did not do anything, let alone Zheng He had already gone to the other side of the Indian Ocean, the African continent.

  At that time, at the location of the Strait of Malacca, Daming established a garrison, and garrisoned there, called the Mansijia garrison.

  Controlled the Strait of Malacca! Seven voyages to the Western Ocean made Daming's mouth full of oil and the treasury was abundant.

  Directly lead the troops to the north, hit Mongolia, lay down a large area of ​​territory, and conquer the barbarians in all directions.

  Later generations always said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had the largest territory, but in fact it was nonsense.

  In the era of Zhuli, Daming had already established the territory, from the north to the Heilongjiang estuary and Sakhalin Island, from Outer Mongolia to Lake Baikal in the North Sea, and the Mongolian Khanate in the west was also beaten and surrendered.

  As for the south, Jiaozhi also belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and there was even a guard station in Champaign.

  The Strait of Malacca was directly controlled, and the entire Southeast Asian land was conquered.

  It's just that with the weakening of the country, these territories have been lost one by one.

  In the end, the reason lies in the fact that the official gentry group swallowed up the sea trade interests of the imperial court.

  These people can only make money, and they are still lying down to make money, how can they think so much! Therefore, the foundation laid by Daming overseas, many guards, have been lost one by one! But it is undeniable that in the Ming Dynasty, the sea trade The scale of the transaction is extremely large! A sneeze inside Daming will cause storms and storms all over the world.

  The commodity economy is extremely developed! Any fluctuation in the market can easily see the internal situation of Daming.

  With Weihaiwei controlling the offshore waters of Daming and all the shipping routes of Daming, Weihaiwei has become the sea trade trading center of Daming.

  The prices of items such as military supplies began to skyrocket, not only because Weihaiwei secretly prepared for the war, but also because many forces saw an unprecedented big change, which was brewing on the battlefield in Zhongzhou, and they had already begun to prepare. .

  From the various forces of the Ming Dynasty, down to the various families and even the merchants, they all participated.

  The scale of its transaction is amazing! In the stock exchange center, Weihaiwei's military industry stocks began to skyrocket wildly.

  Countless people poured into the stock market with large sums of silver dollars and frantically snapped up military stocks.

  The popularity of the trading market and the stock market, as well as the strange atmosphere in the market, also made many businessmen realize the crisis, and the number of businessmen who naturalized in Weihaiwei skyrocketed.

  And this rate of increase is still: crazy intensification! Many people can see clearly that in this turmoil, perhaps only Weihaiwei can survive and protect their personal and property safety.

  Even Lin Feng was surprised to find out that he just made a small push in the trading market, so that countless overseas hot money poured into Weihaiwei.

  This battle has not yet started, but he has made a lot of silver dollars! With the current strategic reserves of Weihaiwei, and the fixed source of strategic resources of the three major colonies, even if he is fully prepared for the battle, he does not need to go to the market to purchase a lot.

  The reason for such a situation can only show that there are too many smart people in Daming, and they all realize that the situation has changed greatly! "This is an opportunity!"

  Lin Feng thought to himself.

Chapter [-]: Accumulating wealth for thousands of years

  Industry and commerce, and the development of industry are inseparable from commerce.

  How many industrial countries in later generations, in order to develop the market and stimulate industrial development, will not hesitate to launch wars and bear huge costs, and go on an expedition of thousands of miles to develop their industry and expand its scale, then the market will never be missing! And if you want to speed up industrial development, Then colonial plunder is the fastest.

  Whether it is market development or colonial plunder, Lin Feng has done everything, and he has also obtained gratifying harvests. The industrial scale has skyrocketed again and again.

  It was just a lie before him that Lin Feng didn't want to take an opportunity that could make his territory's industry and commerce develop enormously.

  He is extremely eager to seize this opportunity and seize this opportunity.

  And this opportunity is that, as a month later, the Dashun Army won a crucial victory on the battlefield of Zhongzhou, and directly won the decisive battle, so the Da Ming was frightened and fell into a passive state.

  The result of this war is that it will cause unprecedented panic in the Ming Dynasty! After all, the new dynasty will be established, and the period when the old dynasty has not retreated will be unprecedented chaos, and the entire Ming Dynasty will be plunged into war.

  And during this period of time, for the rich, what they fear most is that the family property accumulated by several generations or even a dozen generations of hard work will be plundered, and they will lose their lives.

  These people have occupied the huge wealth of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and the gold and silver they possessed can be called massive! I don't know how much silver has flowed into the hands of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

  As a result, the Western barbarians have worked hard to dig silver mines for hundreds of years, but there is still not enough silver and gold. What is even more difficult is that they even took out the old capital of their hometown! It can be said that, In this era, almost all the silver and gold in the world flowed into the hands of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

  However, there is no way for the Western barbarians to do anything! This kind of gold and silver from all over the world flowing into the land of Shenzhou has been around since the Western Han Dynasty, and it has never been cut off.

  Harvesting the world for thousands of years has never stopped, and it can only be said that the ancestors are too powerful.
