Chapter 193 East India Company
People need to use it.
It is necessary to check it.
This control must also be controlled.
This is Zhu Cilang's current strategy.
Liu Zeqing and others continued to train new recruits, and after the renovation of the old army in Nanjing City was completed, they had to train these people.
However, the whole family of these people must be placed in the capital. Without the orders of the court, no one shall take his whole family out.
In addition, in their army, officers below the battalion commander must be assigned by the court, especially the platoon leader here, who must be selected from Li Guodong's army.
Although the court controlled them very much, Liu Zeqing and others were relieved.
As long as they do not have the idea of rebellion, the court will do whatever they want. It is much better than if they resign from their posts and go home to work without any responsibilities now!
Zhang Shenyan and others stopped talking. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's control is very strict. If there are still rebels in this situation, it can only be said that God does not bless the Ming Dynasty.
The differences of opinions were resolved like this. Although many people were still a little dissatisfied, under Zhu Cixuan's pressure, these people had to obey Zhu Cixuan's new orders.
The opportunity has been given to you. If you can’t train new recruits, you can only go home to retire.
After shutting down most of the people, Zhu Cixuan kept Hou Fangyu, the head of the Lifanyuan.
The court ministers didn't care much about those Westerners, especially the civil servant group headed by Zhang Shenyan.
They think these guys are all uncivilized people, and even if they talk about these people, it is a bad thing.
Therefore, they all think that the matter of the Lifan Academy is done by ordinary people, which is different from those of them who read the books of sages.
Hou Fangyu is also considered a person who reads the books of sages.
But his ideas were different. He thought that how could the Lifan Academy not be important to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty? So when the Lifan Academy was in charge of the Lifan Academy, Hou Fangyu could not fill it in immediately.
"There is now a Dutch East India Company?"
After listening to Hou Fangyu's report on foreigners, Zhu Cilang said in surprise.
In today's era, the Dutch East India Company was not very famous, and many ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty did not know what kind of company it was.
But Zhu Cilang came from the 21st century and naturally knew about this infamous colonial company.
They plundered all Asian countries. Although they did not bring much bad things to the Ming Dynasty, they also took advantage of international trade.
"If you go back to the prince, it is this Dutch East India Company. They represent all the Dutch merchants. The ministers hoped to contact their official institutions at that time, but they handed in a letter of authorization, and it was called a letter of authorization, as if it was given to him by the king of their country."
Although Hou Fangyu accepts new things faster, he sometimes can't remember these new words, and Zhu Cilang can also understand it.
After all, in this era, this guy is already quite advanced. If Zhang Shenyan was asked to take charge of this matter, I would probably not be able to explain why.
When Hou Fangyu reported, he was actually a little confused. He had dealt with these foreigners so much, but he was still a little confused when he spoke. How did His Royal Highness understand?
And when it comes to company agreements, it seems like I have been exposed to these things a long time ago.
Of course, he was confused and didn't say anything. When he wanted to survive in the court, what should he say? This is a very important question.
Zhu Ciyang recalled at this moment. In the 21st century, Zhu Ciyang had read some records about the Dutch East India Company.
The Dutch East India Company was established in 1602. More than 40 years have passed. Several colonies have been established in Southeast Asia. It represents the Dutch government to plunder the area and is now even stronger.
However, because Daming is relatively powerful and far from comparable to those small countries, the Dutch East India Company maintained a relatively good manner when it came into contact with the Ming Dynasty, at least not showing the face of an invader.
Although these people are cunning and powerful, they are also responsible for serving people. Such a large dynasty is dozens of times larger than that of the Netherlands.
"Your Highness, I have also heard of the Dutch East India Company. This so-called company is not a good thing. It occupied our Southeast Treasure Island. In the past, it was also said it was returned, but it has always been clever and slander. They may have other plans to take advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty."
When Shi Kefa was fine, he also studied some of the surrounding forces. This is his conclusion on the Dutch East India Company.
Zhu Cilang remembers this history clearly that the treasure island was originally occupied by the Dutch and the Spanish. Later, the Dutch defeated the Spaniards and occupied our Southeast treasure island alone.
On that island rich in pineapple production, the people lived a miserable life, but at that time the Ming Dynasty was in civil strife and did not have the strength to recover the country, so they could only do it.
Later, the national hero Zheng Chenggong led his army to recapture the treasure island.
Zhu Ciyang snorted coldly, we have all been reborn. If we still let our compatriots suffer such suffering, what's the point of being reborn?
However, I don’t know the other party’s reality now, so I can’t turn against you for the time being.
We must first reverse the trade disadvantages. Then we will solve the land affairs and then solve the navy step by step. Finally, after we are ready, we will drive these invaders out.
Westerners rely on ships and cannons?
He is good at his grandma's legs.
As for the guys we have, they can't figure it out in the first half of the year. It's not that easy to compete with us on the battlefield.
"How did you negotiate with them about the unified trade I mentioned before?"
Although Zhu Cilang is a little excited now, as the leader of the Ming Dynasty, tens of millions of ordinary people are on their shoulders, so he must not be willful. Before he has no sufficient strength, he still has to deal with these foreigners slowly.
What's more, the large amount of funds they have in hand is what Zhu Cilang is short of now, and everything they have to do has to be done step by step.
