Combined with the memorials of the Tianjin Guards, plus this letter of nationality sent by the Netherlands.

To a certain extent, what everyone feels is the threat and inducement of one hand and the other.

Of course, this move was ridiculous for the wise rulers and ministers who were influenced by countless power and strategy. This is truly the lowest type of power and strategy, and it is purely disgusting.

The low quality of power-based scheming does not mean that the monarch and ministers are taken lightly, because the problem is very serious.

How serious is it?

Tianjin Wei is the throat of the entire Ming Dynasty. For example, for example, if someone wants to come and play the threat, go to Liaodong like the Jiannu people, or harass the southeast coast like Japanese pirates, the Ming Dynasty's reaction may be half a beat slower, and when the problem is serious, it will have to try its best to solve it.

But Tianjin Wei is different. Tianjin Wei is close to the sea, which means that these ships are just a few minutes away from Tianjin Wei. At the same time, Tianjin Wei is only a few hours away from the capital, and this is an important place in the capital.

What is really terrible is that this is the node of the north and south canals.

The canal is the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was able to continue because it relied on the canal to control the south of the Yangtze River. At the same time, it continuously transported a large amount of grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, which was to ensure that the capital could command the world.

Once any accident occurs here, it means that transportation between the north and the south is interrupted and the capital becomes an isolated island.

What’s even more terrifying is that if there are enemies at sea and appear in Tianjin, wouldn’t it mean that the safety of the capital will not be guaranteed?

Showing your power in other places is really an insult.

But when you come to Tianjin Wei, you are breaking into my bedroom and playing with a big knife. What is this?

This is the naked threat and provocation.

As for the humble attitude in the letter of the country, it will not only not help alleviate this great shame and humiliation for the Ming Dynasty, but will instead make the Ming Dynasty feel that you not only insult me, but also insult my IQ.

So the court immediately held a massive discussion.

The result of the discussion was that the troops in Tianjin Wei were increased, and any contact between the Dutch people was cut off. He immediately ordered the Guangdong Provincial Administration to expel the Franchise people in Macau. Anyway, the Franchise people were the same as the Dutch people, so they got out of here.

In addition, the Guangdong and Fujian Sea Road Inspection Department was ordered to be on standby at any time, from Penghu area as a springboard to clear the Netherlands in Xiaoliuqiu.

After all, this time, there were really not many officials who colluded with the Netherlands. The brought about by these ships immediately aroused anger from the court, almost all the words, and there was no room for any turn.

Emperor Tianqi was also very annoyed. He closed his eyes, then glanced at Zhang Jing indifferently, and asked seriously: "Zhang Qing, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Jing said: "I have long expected that the Netherlands will come."

Afterwards?

A hindsight?

The ministers looked at Zhang Jingyi, and they all looked surprised.

You knew it before, why didn't you say it?

I had expected you to be a ghost.

Zhang Jingyi really expected it.

From the beginning of arranging people to save money to the Netherlands, Zhang Jingyi knew that the Netherlands would definitely appear.

This is not his magical idea, but his understanding of the Netherlands.

The Netherlands dared to do anything for business.

At first, they came to what they believed to be the Far East, hoping to make money through trade and transport silk and porcelain to Europe to gain wealth.

But now, they obviously discovered a greater source of wealth, because the Emperor of Ming Dynasty killed some merchants, which led to many Han merchants depositing money in banks.

In just a short time, such a huge amount of funds were stored.

It can be seen that the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was far beyond their imagination.

Finance has always been the most profitable, with greater profits than trade, attracting savings. With these savings funds, you can lend them out without taking any risks. You can almost guarantee income by drought and flood, and you can easily get more than 10% of the loan interest from the treasury of European countries.

When the Dutch saw the money, they immediately began to look at the Ming Dynasty with admiration. They realized that there were countless wealth hidden in this country, so they would definitely try their best to come to the Ming Dynasty to negotiate.

I am afraid that in addition to expressing my desire to trade, I also hope to bring their bank business to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, there is no influence in Macau. At most, it can radiate a little bit of Han businessmen. If banks can enter the capital or Suzhou and Hangzhou, I am afraid that the savings will be ten times or more than a hundred times.

What a big business this is.

I'm afraid I'll have to work hard for this.

Of course, the only thing Zhang Jingyi didn't expect was that the threat from the Netherlands was so naked. He was afraid that the Ming Emperor would not agree, so he simply went to a gunboat diplomacy.

Gunboat diplomacy, fuck, I could actually catch it.

The ministers all looked at him, their faces looked very bad, and seemed to have some doubts about him.

Zhang Jingyi was very calm and said with a faint expression: "So I have been prepared for a long time. Since the Dutch people dared to come this time, if my Ming Dynasty refuses and refuses to see me, I am afraid that those who don't know the inside story will say that I am afraid of the Dutch people. My Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Why not see these Dutch envoys, first be polite and then fight?"

First rituals and then soldiers...

The attitudes of the officials began to diverge a little, and some people think that what Zhang Jingyi said does make some sense.

Some people also think that this move will only encourage arrogance.

So they were quarreling again.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is always a long-term plan. First, politeness and then military force are good. The people of the Netherlands are aggressive, and those who come are not good."

"I'm going to discuss it."

The noisy sound made people feel headache. Emperor Tianqi slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Okay, quarrels are useless. Since that's the case, it's okay to see each other. What Zhang Qing said about first rituals and then soldiers will be deeply loved. When he sees them, he will be scolded for their crimes, and he will be able to fight again."

A dispute ends here.

Emperor Aoki was still furious.

Threats to Tianjin Wei are absolutely intolerable.

That is, Zhang Jingyi strongly supports seeing him here. Otherwise, Emperor Tianqi would never take the rituals first and then soldiers.

He returned to Xiyuan angrily, cursed, turned to Wei Zhongxian and said, "Parent Wei, please go to Tianjin Wei to find out the truth of the Netherlands."

Wei Zhongxian dared not be negligent, he was busy saying: "Abide by the order."

…………

Macao.

Amsterdam Bank.

At this time, the size of the bank had expanded in nearly half a year.

This Macau bank has begun to become a branch in the entire Far East region, controlling the business in the entire Far East region, and is no longer an ordinary small branch.

The former president has now been promoted, and there are even rumors that he may be on the board of directors next year.

All of this is of course due to the surge in the Amsterdam Bank's business located in Macau.

Now, the entire bank has been greatly inspired, and people deeply believe that in this Ming Empire, there is an incomparable huge wealth that is waving to people.

The president's letter was sent out in a fast ship.

Immediately afterwards, the senior executives of the Netherlands East India Company and the bank in Malacca responded quickly after learning the news.

Especially the East India Company, in the Malacca area, in order to firmly control the Far East and guard this golden waterway, the Dutch East India Company set up a higher-level organization in Malacca and set up a governor.

Have diplomatic and military authority for all Eastern businesses.

Several directors of the bank are also stationed here all year round.

After confirming the news, they rushed to the Ming Dynasty. In order to expand their bank business, they made plans to get a better shot with the Ming Dynasty emperor.

All of this actually originated from the small banks in Macau’s trading point.

At this time, the bank's business was still as usual, and all the guys were following the steps, waiting for new customers to come.

However, over the days, the number of Chinese merchants coming to save is decreasing.

This was a bit frustrating, so everyone suspected that the fear of the Han merchants for the Ming emperor began to dissipate. In addition, Macau was just a small place after all, and most Han merchants were unfamiliar with it.

Suddenly, business plummeted, and you will inevitably feel a little depressed.

But today...

But suddenly someone walked in slowly.

Seeing that the person who came was a Han man, an hired Han man immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Celebrity, are you here to deposit the silver?"

The person came to say: "Get money."

"Get money?" The guy smiled and said diligently: "Cheer, please ask me inside, I don't know the name of the guest."

This man said: "The surname is Wang, Wang Cheng."

The guy asked Wang Cheng to sit down and said with a smile: "Customer, your deposit receipt..."

Wang Cheng raised his legs and immediately slapped a deposit slip on the table.

Bang.

The guy was busy taking the deposit slip, looking down, there was 50,000 taels of silver on his face. He smiled and said, "The guest official is here to take it, I'll go and withdraw the silver..."

As he said that, he went to go through the procedures.
To be continued...
