Chapter 1038:Colluding with the Dutch

In July, the matter of Dawei's recruitment of Zheng Zhilong was blocked because of Zheng Sen.

Chen Mingxia suggested that he should stop recruiting and destroy Zheng's, but Gao Yihuan believes that Zheng Zhilong is Zheng Zhilong Zheng Sen, and insists on continuing to recruit Zheng Zhilong.

Wei Guo's noble group is powerful, they need war to obtain merit, title, land, and hope that they will gain a large population of Jiangnan.

This makes Gao Yihuan a headache, the world has been in turmoil for many years, the population in the north has plummeted, the noble landowners need to fetch the land, and the southern handicraft industry needs a large number of hired workers.

Hands and hands are meat, although Gao Yihuan has long proposed a policy to encourage fertility, but in order to restore the population, it will take at least 20 years, and during this period, it is really difficult for him to take into account the interests of all parties.

The recruitment of Zheng's, related to the can participate in the big sea, catch up with the last bus, for this high Yijue vetoed Chen Minxia's proposal.

Just because the arrest of the messenger, resulting in both sides have mustard, and Zheng Zhilong can not offer the whole of Fujian, the conditions of the big Wei are reduced, Zheng Zhilong has some hesitation.

In view of this, in early August, after the autumn, the weather turned cold, and the Wei Army, which was assembled in Zhejiang, began to go south one after another, and once again, the soldiers came to Xiaguan to put pressure on Zheng Zhilong.

On this day, the sky, the climate is not as hot as in June and July, the fairy is closed, the soldiers of the Zheng army stand in the city, in the wide wall of more than two feet, the flag of the Zheng family flies, the soldiers with spears back and forth patrol.

Suddenly, the patrolman stood up, and the first one turned his head to look out of the corner, only to look at him, the look changed suddenly, and shouted loudly, "There is an enemy."

On the hill outside the closed wall, the black sergeant Wei died, coming from the mountains, like a moving black carpet.

Not long after, wearing mountain-lined armor and wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, Zheng Cai ascended to the city, he stood looking at it, and saw the Wei army in the distance, and the look was suddenly sinking.

“How many horses are there?”The next officer shouted.

“Look at a hundred thousand!”Someone is silent.

The army of Zheng in the city rushed to the wall, talked about it, and cried out fraudulently: "Wei Jun is so many."

Zheng Cai's hand held the wall, his heart was stinging, and said urgently: "Don't shoot arrows, quickly report Fuzhou!"

~~~~~~

Zhejiang, Ningbo, is one of the few ports of entry in the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, it was affected by the war, especially the decline of Zheng's fate, and the ships in the Ningbo port were already half.

In the Ningbo City, Gao Yihuan wears a black robe, a winged crown on his head, holding his belt in his hand, and a group of officials, visiting the city's customs department to listen to people talk about the situation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang sea trade.

The official in charge of Ningbo City, named Fang Yizhi, introduced as he walked: "Sire, Nanming mainly has four trade ports, namely Hangzhou, Ningbo, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, of which we Ningbo, are mainly responsible for trade with North Korea and Genu.In addition, Fujian Zhengjia, the sea red hairyi, the folang machine, also often come here to trade.

Gao Yihuan and others walked in a lobby, filled with models of various ships, with a pair of charts on the walls, and some tax notes of the city's customs.

Gao Yihuan slightly, "How many percent does the Zheng family account for in trade?"

Fang Zhiji said: "Your Majesty, Zhengjia has five merchants in the mountains, five merchants in Jiangnan, responsible for the acquisition of goods, the five merchants are their fleet, responsible for transporting goods."Within a year, half of the transactions are from Zhengjia, if you count the Zheng family yellow flag, that accounts for about 70%."

Gao Yihuan was a little surprised, Zheng Zhilong's turtle grandson, must have been rich.

At this time, Fang continued to move forward with high pride and joy, and came to a hall where various porcelain, tea and cloth were placed.

"Sad, this is the display area of goods, mainly for overseas merchants, they can see samples here, and then place orders, what special needs, can also be customized!"Let’s continue to present it with wisdom.

Gao Yihuan looked at the table with a lot of porcelain, many of them have exotic customs, "These are Jingdezhen?"

Fang shook his head with wisdom, "Sire, Jingdezhen's porcelain is exquisite, mainly domestic sales, or sold to Aoguo, North Korea, Annan, these are not Jingdezhen, is Changsha kiln firing, used for overseas porcelain."

Gao Yi Huan secretly called himself strange, and then Li came in and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Dutch have arrived."

Gao Yi's words were slightly stalked, and his eyes were a little reluctant to leave the porcelain, and he casually said, "Let them wait in the partial hall."

“Yes!”Lee Lai-Hung saluted.

Gao Yihuan followed again, and then came to the partial hall, and the guard at the door immediately sang loudly: "Your Majesty is driving!"

Niu Venus immediately motioned, let the two red hairs stand up, one knee salute, in blunt Han Chinese said, "Kwai saw the emperor of Dawei!"

Gao Yihuan did not like the Dutch, they were too domineering and too barbaric, but their faces smiled slightly: "Aless, get up and talk!"

Gao Yihuan sat down in the main position, the red fur ghosts suddenly waved, and one of his attendants around him immediately took up a tray.

“Dear Majesty, a small gift is not a tribute!”There was a hint of arrogance on his face.

The guard took over, lifted the red cloth, and the tray was a short-tube flag gun, and the work was very beautiful.

Gao Yi looked at it, sneered, the hand waved back, and the bodyguard behind him took one thing out of the lumen sleeve, it was a short-pipe flanking gun that would make the kung fuze a stagger.

Gao Yi happily pretended to be forced and smiled slightly: "This kind of flanged gun, I have at least 100,000 shots in my army, which is not uncommon, but since it was sent by the messenger, I took it."

As soon as he waved, the guard turned back to the tray.

Gao Yi Huan blew a cowhide, but KSun believed it was true and was frightened.

Gao Yi laughed and said, “What if the messenger comes to Ningbo?”If it's a tribute, it's a little early."

Once Kwai came back, he was busy bending over, "Your Majesty the Emperor Dawei, I came this time in the hope that Dawei would resume trade with the Netherlands and keep the agreement signed between the Netherlands and Ming Kingdom unchanged."

Not long ago, Gao Yihuan ordered that the need to change the reason for the temporary suspension of trade with the Dutch, that is, to let the Dutch, come to him to negotiate.

Gao Yihuan said, “This is a little difficult, but if you promise me a condition, I can consider it.”

The ship stopped in Ningbo, every day is not a small loss, Kwai listened to the immediate happy, busy asked: "I do not know what the conditions."As long as it does not harm the interests of the company, we can accept it.”

Gao Yihuan smiled: "The conditions are very simple, I want you to cut off any contact with the Zheng family in Fujian, and help Dawei to block Zheng Sen."As long as you agree to this condition, I will allow you to come to Ningbo for trade!”
