Chapter 900 Lets have a cold war!

Autumn is gradually getting stronger in Nanjing, and the sultry weather in summer is gradually becoming slightly cooler. People who don’t go out much to escape the heat are now putting on bright autumn clothes and swaying through the streets. The autumn breeze is blowing.

At the same time, it also means that the "trade wind" from Southeast Asia has also come, and Nanjing's industry and commerce have suddenly become active. Although orders from Europe have decreased slightly due to various reasons in recent years, orders from Southeast Asia and India have become more and more

Duo——Under the leadership of the Ming Dynasty, Nanyang finally got rid of the exploitation of Western colonists and began to have a new order.

The climate in those places is mostly hot and rainy. Although it is not suitable for handicraft production, it is rich in rice and spices. It is also suitable for growing sugar cane to produce sugar, as well as many high-quality wood needed for the Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding industry and furniture manufacturing industry. Especially

The transportation on the coasts and islands of Nanyang is very convenient. The sea is right outside your door. You don’t even need to build roads. You can build a pier to connect in all directions.

Before the new order of the Ming Dynasty was established, the vast Nanyang region did not form a unified market, let alone become a unified market with the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and even the west coast of America.

Although there are still some Southeast Asian countries caught in civil strife, this does not affect the export of spices and wood from these countries - the greater the civil strife, the more Ming Dynasty weapons are needed, and the more primary raw materials have to be exported!

Some "colonial companies" headed by the Ming Dynasty Nanyang Trading Company and the Ming Dynasty King City (Tianwang City was actually a company disguised as a city alliance), along with a large number of small and medium-sized businesses, began to invest heavily in various parts of Nanyang.

On those selected sites, the Nanyang Trading Company will be responsible for building ports and docks, while the Tianwang City Alliance will enclose and build cities near the Nanyang Company's ports and docks. Then the two major consortiums will build cities around such and such Tianwang City.

Land is captured and then outsourced to small and medium-sized commercial banks that have made fortunes in Nanyang, allowing them to establish plantations. Nanyang Bank and Penglai Bank will provide financing and other financial services for these commercial activities...

Of course, Nanyang Company and Tianwang City Alliance do not always cooperate. They are sometimes competitors - Nanyang Company can also enclose land and build cities, while Tianwang City Alliance can also build ports and docks. In addition, Nanyang Company can also build ports and docks.

A land escort was formed, and the Tianwang City Alliance also had a fleet.

In addition to these two giants, some smaller colonial companies have also opened up. After auctioning the special trade license from the Ming Dynasty, they also began to invest crazily in various parts of Southeast Asia!

In addition, the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Zhu Da were also big customers of these colonial companies - they would entrust these colonial companies to build and operate cities in Nanyang. After these cities were established, they would be enfeoffed to the Ming vassal kings as their vassal states.

capital.

Recently, Emperor Zhu Da even issued two big orders - to build two colonial cities on a desolate continent called "Southern Continent" in the southeast of Java Island!

Although not many people are optimistic about the future of these two colonial cities, buying and selling still needs to be done!

And these large-scale investments in colonial cities will translate into demand for Ming Dynasty handicraft products, and as the city develops, the demand will continue to grow and become larger and larger. And the demand brought by the development of Nanyang, as well as the demand from Nanyang

The raw materials and precious metals shipped back will greatly stimulate investment and demand in the Ming Dynasty and Japan.

The population growth and wasteland reclamation in the Ming Dynasty will also continuously provide demand and products, and the "internal cycle" of the entire Ming Dynasty will start like this!

In addition to the "inner circulation" within the Chinese circle, Emperor Zhu Da is also working hard to create a controllable "external circulation"... The so-called controllable, of course, does not mean trade with NATO countries headed by the Frank Empire.

The cycle has continued. Although the trade volume between Ming Dynasty and these countries is still not small, and is even growing. But as long as the emperor and "God" give orders together ("God" can give orders through silence), trade may be interrupted!

Moreover, various news coming from Europe showed that both Louis the Great and Urban IX were working hard to reduce the economic and trade exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Europe.

However, Louis the Great and Urban IX could only influence some of the countries that had joined the North Atlantic Alliance, but they could not control the Ottoman Empire, a "European power", nor could they restrain Persia, Hindustan, and the Crimean Khanate.

teach the country.

And if these Tianfang Sect countries can form an Eastern Alliance, they will not only be able to have close trade and economic exchanges with the Ming Empire, but also become the agents of the Ming Dynasty in the West!

And the GDP of these countries is not low! But a Hindustan Empire could rank among the top three in the international GDP rankings at the end of the 17th century!

Although no one is currently counting the GDP of various countries, "Mao Guess" knows that the GDP of the three countries of Ming Dynasty, Great Mongolia, and Hindustan must be one, two, or three in the world, and the fourth place is the Louis Empire——

Combining the Franks and France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Japan, the Spanish Empire (including the Kingdom of Spain), the Ottoman Empire should account for 56,789, it is hard to say who is more and who is less. Rakshasa, Poland, Sweden, Persia

These countries can probably compete to be ranked 10th in GDP.

Therefore, as long as the Ming Dynasty brings the Eastern Alliance to its side, at least four of the top ten countries in terms of GDP will join the internal and external circulation led by the Ming Dynasty... In other words, more than 50% of the world's GDP is controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

Circle!

However, the Eastern Alliance's most important significance to the Ming Empire was not only in terms of trade, but also in terms of national security!

The Ming Dynasty's first line of defense against Europe was not in Malacca, let alone the South China Sea, but in Vienna, Belgrade, and Istanbul... As long as Louis the Great did not capture Vienna, Belgrade, and Istanbul, his main forces would be out

Can’t get to Europe!

...

"Your Majesty, the Hindustan Empire is relatively friendly to the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire. The ancestors of the Mughal Dynasty of the Hindustan Empire once borrowed troops from Persia and relied on the support of Persia to gain a foothold in India. So they continued to

After being married to Persians for many generations, they no longer look like Mongolians, but look like Persians. At the same time, due to religious reasons, the relationship between the Hindustan Empire and the Ottoman Empire is also very good.

....Although they had ancestral enmity, both families belonged to the same sect, so the Hindustan Empire recognized the religious authority of the Ottoman Sultan's caliphate.

However, the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire are feuding. They have fought endlessly throughout history. Moreover, they believe in different sects. The Persian Empire does not recognize the caliphate of the Ottoman Sultan. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the great Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire.

The alliance is still a bit difficult..."

The person who was talking to Emperor Zhu Da in the imperial study room in the building surrounding the Wenhua Palace about the relationship between the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire, and Hindustan was none other than Huang Zhisheng, the "Tianfang Sect expert on national issues" of the Ming Dynasty.

.

Emperor Zhu Da, who had finished dividing his family, had turned his attention back to the important matter of cultivating agents in the West to fight against the Louis Empire.

Freemasonry is a dark situation with a long-term perspective, so we can take a break... We have to wait until Pu Songling finishes writing the "novel"! Although Pu Songling can write, this book brings together Eastern and Western history and Western magic

, Oriental Fairies and many other elements of the novel, it is really not easy to write! You need to consult a lot of historical data, otherwise you have to get involved.

Moreover, when Pu Songling was writing the "novel", Guo Youde and Philip had to search for Masonic artifacts everywhere... They are all old things passed down from the Yuan Dynasty. How can they be so easy to make now?

These are not just oriental cultural relics, but also Western cultural relics. The old masters don’t know where to buy them?

But this matter is not urgent, because "Big Peter" has just attended the "NATO Summit" and is now inspecting various European countries, and has not yet started to carry out reforms! So even if the Freemasonry exists now, it has no use.

.

But the establishment of ASEAN cannot be delayed!

"Aren't the Persians afraid of the Great Mongolia?" Zhu Heji frowned and said, "Persia was the territory of the Ilkhanate in history!"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something," Huang Zhisheng shook his head and said, "Since Kangxi Khan conquered northwest India, he has concentrated on domestic affairs and is single-mindedly trying to knit his Indian Empire, the Western Qing Kingdom and the Great Mongolia together...

...So they are relatively soft towards the outside world. Not only have they not fought with Persia, they have not even fought with the Hindustan Empire. Under such circumstances, the Persians are certainly not afraid of the Mongols."

"Will Kangxi Khan join NATO?" Zhu Heji asked again, "If Kangxi Khan joins, the Persians should be afraid, right?"

India joining NATO...possible?

"Your Majesty," St. Philip accepted the question, shook his head and said, "This is impossible...because Louis the Great will not welcome an emperor who can compete with him to join the North Atlantic Alliance."

Although there are two "big countries" in the current North Atlantic Alliance, the Spanish Empire and the Rakshasa Kingdom, they only have a large territory, a small population, and a weak economic and military strength. For the time being, they can only be honest.

Be Louis' little brother.

But Great Mongolia is different. Its economic strength, military strength and population are all stronger than the Frankish Empire (including France)!

If the Kangxi Khan's empire becomes a member of NATO, will Louis' boss still act like this? Then everyone will recognize Kang Mazi as their eldest brother, and Louis Lu Mazi (who also suffered from smallpox) will still be such a fool?

St. Philip added: "But Louis will definitely form an alliance with Great Mongolia in the name of the Alliance after the establishment of the North Atlantic Alliance."

In other words, Mongolia will not join NATO, but it can become an alliance of NATO... NATO may also support Mongolia to cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty, just like Ming Dynasty supports the Ottomans to deal with the Europeans!

From this perspective, the Ottoman Empire is now the agent of the Devil Zhu, and Emperor Kang Mazi may become the agent of the Catholic camp!

In the next hundred years, the Ming Dynasty and NATO may not take any big action, but the agents of both sides will not be so quiet.

Therefore, both China and NATO must strengthen and control their own agents while weakening the other party's agents as much as possible.

Emperor Zhu thought about it for a while and then said: "Then let Hindustan provide money and bribe Persia to join the gang! Huang Shaoqing, please do your best and go to Dhaka to talk to Wu Guogui about this matter."

The current Emir of the Hindustan Empire is Jahandar Shah, the grandson of Aurangzeb. Compared with his grandfather, he is really far behind. He is just a master who waits to die to enjoy happiness. He does not want to do anything for his father.

, Grandfather took revenge and did not intend to regain the lost territory. He did not even care about national security and did not intend to waste money on military expansion and war preparations. He simply "hired" Wu Guogui to protect his country.

Wu Guogui's status in Hindustan is somewhat similar to the status of the British East India Company in history... He is the protector of Hindustan, and he also occupies the Calcutta colony. He collects protection fees from the emperor of Hindustan every year. At the same time, he

The Hindustan Empire also had a say in its foreign policy.

In fact, Wu Guogui and his San Francisco gangsters are now Ming Dynasty's agents in India!

Zhu Heji thought for a while and then said: "Huang Shaoqing, take a license plate of the Ming Dynasty Chartered India Trading Company to Dhaka and give this license plate to Wu Guogui. You tell him that no matter what, you must promote the Ottoman Empire.

The Persian Empire, the Eastern Alliance of the Hindustan Empire... In addition, in this grand alliance, the Hindustan Empire must play the role of the moneybag! The Mughal Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty India Company must provide military expenditures for the Ottomans!"

If the weakness of the Great Mongolia is that the "master supply chain" may have problems - without the input of the masters from Central Asia, the Great Mongolia will sooner or later become the second Mughal state, then the weakness of the Ottoman Empire as an agent is that it has no money.

Got it!

The Ottoman Empire has no shortage of "masters". The Turks can fight on their own. There is also the Crimean Khanate in the north, and there is also a "scout system" to recruit soldiers from the Christians in the Balkans. But the Ottomans did not gain access to the American colonies.

It has missed out on the trend of international zero-dollar purchases, and even its monopoly on trade leading to the East has been robbed.

In addition, gold and silver from the New World flowed into Europe like sea water, causing serious inflation, which also wiped out the money that the Ottoman Empire's ancestors had worked so hard to grab. Moreover, the territories occupied by the Ottoman Empire were all lost after the emergence of the oil tycoons.

It couldn't compare with Western Europe, let alone an era when oil could not be sold for money. So no matter how hard the Ottoman Empire tried, it could not change its increasingly downward fate.
