This ending in Japan is undoubtedly the most perfect for Yang Feng.

Don't need too much.

Just keep this for fifty years.

Fifty years later, Japan faces the Ming Dynasty, probably just like the Qing Dynasty facing the British army, and it has to be the British army when the Qing Dynasty faces the second crow.

After all, this kind of conscious foolish people under the rule of alien race is the most vicious.

Because this means that the ruling class of a country will consciously cooperate with foreign enemies and use constantly selling national interests to maintain rule. This is the reason why it is better to give friendly countries than domestic slaves. Not only will aggravate the power of rule, but it will help maintain rule when necessary. For example, European colonists are very enthusiastic about helping the Qing Dynasty suppress Hong Tianwang, Boxers, etc. But the domestic slaves learned new ideas, obtained new technologies, and developed new technologies, which means that they will truly realize that they are just a group of enslaved people. At that time, they will really overturn the alien rulers above their heads.

So the Qing Dynasty had only been organized for a few years, but was overthrown by the new army.

Lafa is wise!

All the trashers do not understand the good intentions of the Lord Buddha. The Lord Buddha is the one who really worked hard for our Qing Dynasty. Without Lord Buddha, the Qing Dynasty would perish after Hong Yang.

Lao Fu extended his life for forty years to the Qing Dynasty.

Yang Feng is looking forward to the future release of a Lafayette in Japan.

Measure the material resources of Japan and win the favor of the Ming Dynasty!

The wild boar skin actually has this sign, so hesitated to cede land or something.

It's just the same idea.

As long as you serve Yang Feng well, don’t be killed by the Ming Dynasty and ruin everything. Then what’s the point of cutting off some land in Japan and giving a few pieces of concessions? They all snatched them up by themselves. They snatched so much by themselves. Isn’t it reasonable to share some stolen goods to the boss of this area?

Be sensible.

You should know that good things cannot be enjoyed exclusively.

He is so sensible, so Yang Feng must be more generous.

Therefore, the plan to attack the black ships planned by the Ming maritime merchants was stopped by Yang Feng. All Ming maritime ships must go to the ports of Qing generals to trade in the future. Playing pirates along the coast of Japan was also banned by the prime minister. It was just a ban. Whether they would stop would have nothing to do with the prime minister, and the prime minister was not interested in catching pirates for wild boar skins, but the rules were determined, so the Ming and Japan entered a state of peace.

However, there is no official communication.

Because Japan still had an emperor, the Ming Dynasty refused to accept their tribute.

Unless they abolish the Emperor.

Then he accepted the title of the Japanese king of the Ming Dynasty and sent the Ming Dynasty fugitives in the territory of Japan.

But this is definitely not possible. After all, those fugitives are important officials of wild boar skin, and the title of Japanese king is also unacceptable to the Japanese daimyos, because the flag-head suffered too much loss in the previous war, and wild boar skin should also respect the opinions of the famous people at this time.

He even took several Tokugawa Ieyasu's granddaughters as concubines.

To show your tenderness to the Tokugawa family.

Well, it can also be said that he killed Tokugawa Ieyasu and played with other people's granddaughters.

Poor Qianji is only ten years old!

Just as the Ming Dynasty and Japan finally restored peace, they also restored peace with Portugal. The city of Malacca and Shalian were lost at sea. Portugal, which was defeated at sea, finally chose to surrender in the face of almost the country's bankruptcy caused by the tribute. The Governor of Goa sent an envoy to apologize to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of Ming mercy mercilessly forgives them, but they need to pay a compensation of three million taels for it. Although this number made the Portuguese want to cry, the problem is that tribute will make them completely ruined!

What else can be done?

Accept it!

But this was between the Ming Dynasty and the Governor of Goa.

In fact, the Spanish king, as the king of Portugal, did not participate, and even the Ming Dynasty's tribute was only directed at Portugal rather than Spain.

This is also the reason why Portugal quickly surrendered.

Although everyone is a king, the Spanish maritime merchants shipped back to Europe will ruin the Portuguese maritime merchants. In fact, His Majesty the King is very happy to see this. After all, Portugal is just a territory that he may rebel at any time, and Spain is his real territory.

It was in his favor to weaken Portugal.

After peace was restored, Portugal completely withdrew from Nanyang.

From now on, they were just waiting for Nanyang Company to deliver goods to their doorsteps in Goa. And it was not just the products from the Ming Dynasty, but also the spices from another important product from Portugal in the past.

What a considerate service.

Nanyang Company worked hard to purchase spices on various islands in Nanyang, and sent them to Goa through the sea storm, so that they could complete the past with tea and risk their lives. With such considerate and thoughtful service, the price of spices shipped in the past ten times higher than what they bought in Nanyang by themselves, right?

It's not too much!

Besides, you can't buy it!

Anyway, Dutch merchant ships, Spanish merchant ships, and even British merchant ships are waiting in line!

Actually, it's not a big deal.

It’s just that the Portuguese went back to raise prices.

At this time, they controlled the trade lines from the west coast of India to the Red Sea of ​​the Middle East. Neither the Netherlands nor Spain could be inserted, so they could actually lose money and just passed them on. However, the Nanyang company also began to truly control the trade on the east coast of India. Even the Yunnan caravans began to enter the Assam by land to enter the Indian trade. Similarly, the Sichuan caravans also began to enter the northern part of India through Uszang. In short, the Ming merchants invaded the full range, and not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the Yuan caravans also began to go to Ladakh to enter India. The trade control of the Portuguese in the South Asian subcontinent shrank completely with their influx.

European routes are also shrinking due to the rise of the Netherlands and the addition of the United Kingdom.

This business kingdom is in decline.

The Ming Dynasty rose in full swing.

However, this is the south of the Ming Dynasty, and the overseas trade volume in the north has shrunk.

After all, the previous prosperity was driven by the war in Japan. Now that the war in Japan has ended, and the country is closed, several maritime merchant groups in the area controlled by the regulator have been seriously affected. The greedy nature has made them target Nanyang...

Surigao Strait.

Yu Keqing stood on the deck, gnawing on the apple in his hand.

"Young Master, there is a boat ahead!"

A shout suddenly came from the mast overhead.

He quickly threw away the apple and raised the telescope as fast as possible.

A sailor next to him quickly picked up the apple.

A faint sail shadow soon appeared in Yu Keqing's telescope's field of view. He looked at it with a serious face, but then he discovered the second point, then the third point, the fourth point, and the fifth point. He climbed up the mast without hesitation and continued to search on the sea, constantly adjusting the telescope in his hand, and soon saw the general outline of the nearest ship.

"Prepare to fight, how could there be ships from Nanyang Company in this place?"

He shouted.

Then he returned to the deck.

"Young Master, we broke the rules and were already in trouble, but it was not good to make a big deal."

The old servant next to him said.

"What are the rules? Wild boar skin gave us three letters of Zhu. If you don't find a new way of business, you should starve to death. Why should you do Nanyang's business by their Nanyang Company?

Why can’t our Donglai Company do it?”

He said.

Their company is named after Qi Jiguang's title.

Qi Jiguang has been posthumously granted the title of Duke of Lai.

After all, there are many mausoleums in the Ming Dynasty now, and they are not worth anything that is not a duke.

Because Japan's trade volume shrank, Donglai's business plummeted, and some merchant ships had to join the whaling industry, but this was too dangerous after all. Whaling really needed to fight for life, and the newcomers didn't know the whaling ground. So these guys started the Nanyang trade, and they knew that this was a bad rule, and the Nanyang company would not let them join, so they thought of a new route, going south from Japan to Ryukyu, and then directly into the Philippine Islands.

This avoids the busiest Guangzhou-Manila routes of Nanyang Company.

Then to Mindanao.

There are several sultanate countries here, Sulu, Majingdanau and Cebu, all of which are very dissatisfied with the exploitation of Nanyang Company.

Nanyang Company controlled maritime trade, and their spices were only allowed to be sold to Nanyang Company, but the latter's purchase price was very low. If these Sudans dared to resist, they had to face the Nanyang Company's door-to-door destruction. They could not beat them, so they had to accept the conditions of Nanyang Company. At this time, the arrival of Donglai Company was undoubtedly a happy event from heaven. Donglai Company purchased spices at a price higher than Nanyang Company and sold them goods at a lower price. All they needed was to cover Donglai Company and not be discovered by Nanyang Company. In addition, the Dutch would also sneak here to trade with Donglai Company.

The Dutch are not short of spices.

But the price of the Ming products sold to them by Nanyang Company is too high, so Donglai Company is much cheaper.

In addition, it is not just Donglai Company, Chongming Shen Family, Zhoushan, and even North Korea. These maritime merchants participating in maritime trade in the areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty are all doing this line. In winter, they gather in Ryukyu, sailed south to the south of Luzon Island, and took a three-thousand-mile voyage, which won’t take long to go with the wind. Then they will go here along the coastline. After completing the trade, they fill up the spices, and then go back along the coast to the southern part of Luzon Island, waiting for the winter in the north to pass, and then take the black tide to return to Ryukyu before the typhoon rises, and then go back separately.

One round trip a year.

So they are all big ships, and they are all in the thousand tons level based on their displacement.

"Yes, why can't we do it?"

"What the southerners do, but we northerners can't do it?"

...

The sailors were indignant.

Northern industry and commerce are also inevitably exploited by Nanyang Company.

After all, if you want to leave, you have to find them.

This kind of monopoly nature is basically a hatred except for the monopoly himself. Even the southern factory owners hate Nanyang Company, let alone the northern factory owners.

But only hatred.

After all, everyone knows that the major shareholder of Nanyang Company is the emperor.
