Da Ming started to ascend the throne

While watching the battle report, Zhu Youjian kept nodding his head frequently, obviously very satisfied with Zheng Chenggong's handling of the Taiwan issue.

When they saw Zheng Chenggong let go of the Governor of Taiwan, Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing. This was his order before Zheng Chenggong sent troops.

What is a governor of Taiwan, if he is released, he will be released. Batavia, the headquarters of the Dutch Asian Colonial East India Company, is Zhu Youjian's goal.

The Dutch have occupied Taiwan for so many years, can Zhu Youjian stop writing interest?He not only wants interest, but also usury, ridiculously high interest.

After reading the battle report sent by Zheng Chenggong, Zhu Youjian said to Liu Lishun, Minister of Honghe Temple:

"Mr. Honglusi, after you go back, you will negotiate with the Dutch envoys in Daming. Because they have occupied Taiwan for many years, they have caused incalculable losses to the people and property of Taiwan, and also caused incalculable impact on the name of the Ming Empire.

Daming is now seeking justice from the Dutch, and strongly demands that they must pay 1000 million taels of silver, which is without any room for negotiation.

At the same time, it was announced that from now on, Daming would temporarily sever diplomatic relations with the Netherlanders, close the trade ports with the Netherlanders, and all Dutch personnel in Daming should leave Daming as soon as possible.

The Ming dynasty also cannot trade with the Dutch, and countries that have trade relations with Ming cannot do business with the Dutch, otherwise Ming will close its trade ports with them.

In addition, before the indemnity was paid, the Dutch merchant ships could not approach the Daming waters, or they would all be sunk, and Honglu Temple immediately went to do it. "

"This... I obey the order!"

Liu Lishun, Minister of Honghe Temple, was completely stunned. Not only did he not understand the emperor's series of operations, but he had never heard of such a thing.

After losing the war, they actually had to pay 1000 million taels of silver. What a joke, selling the Dutch country may not be worth so much silver, they definitely don't want to.

However, he did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so he immediately took the order and left the Qianqing Palace.

There is also a ban on smoking, a ban on preaching, and a demand for compensation from the Dutch. For Liu Lishun, there is too much information today, and they are busy.

But Liu Lishun, Minister of Honglu Temple, did not know that Zhu Youjian is now tantamount to trade sanctions on the Dutch. The so-called trade sanctions seem to be the most popular only in the 21st century.

We are under other people's trade sanctions today. After Comrade Chuan Jianguo came to power, he will fight a trade war with Huaxia.

The nature is almost the same, but the size of the two countries is too different.

Comrade Chuan Jianguo's economic aggregate is only 37% higher than ours, but the Dutch's economy cannot compare with that of Daming.

It can be said that almost all the cotton and silk that Europeans wear, drink tea, and use porcelain are all produced in Ming Dynasty, and they only rely on colonial plunder to support the national economy.

Once Daming cut off all trade with them, and destroyed all their merchant ships traveling to and from the waters belonging to Daming, the Dutch mainly focused on maritime transportation.

If the small countries around Ming Dynasty also stopped trading with the Dutch, Zhu Youjian believed that the Dutch would soon be unable to support them.

Zhu Youjian's decision not only made Honglu Temple Secretary Liu Lishun a headache, but also shocked other Ming officials present.

"What? Is my Ming Dynasty so powerful now? Isn't this a dream? The Dutch can pay tens of millions of taels of silver through trade sanctions?

If the Dutch can really compensate so much silver, wouldn't the Ming treasury be nothing but silver?Haha... Daming will never be short of money again. "

Thinking about how Emperor Chongzhen could hardly sleep at night in order to raise military pay, the treasury was so poor that he could starve mice to death, and thinking about how rich Ming was today, several veteran officials were covered with mist.

However, all this is not over yet, Zhu Youjian has something to say:

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War."

Sun Chengzong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, hastily bowed his hands and saluted:

"The minister is here."

"What's the current situation of conscription in Ming Dynasty?"

Sun Chengzong:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, at present, the military pay of the Ming Dynasty is paid in full, and the treatment of the soldiers has also been improved. The army of the Ming Dynasty is already an invincible army, and young people who sign up to join the army are very enthusiastic.

As far as I know, the Ming army has reached as many as 50, and Qi Jiguang, the governor of the five armies, and General Li, the Xuanjia iron cavalry, are training them. "

This result really made Zhu Youjian very happy. Daming has a vast territory, and some small countries around it are still restless.

Now that Daming is employing people, he was worried that the people would not want to join the army to fight after their lives were better, so he can feel at ease now.

"The Ming army has already changed its equipment. The flint used in the past is still leading the world. You send all the replaced equipment to North Korea to Lu Aiguo, and let Lu Aiguo train North Korean soldiers well. After a while, maybe They need to serve the country."

Zhu Youjian's operation made the officials unable to understand. What do you want the Korean soldiers to do? There is no war there. What exactly does the emperor want to do?

"Your Majesty, you are..."

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:

"I haven't made up my mind yet, you just need to implement it, you will know when the time comes, go!"

"According to the purpose"

Okay, Sun Chengzong still wanted to ask the reason, but Zhu Youjian kept it a secret from him, so Sun Chengzong stopped talking and immediately took the decree to execute.

How can he understand Zhu Youjian's thoughts? In fact, Zhu Youjian is preparing for the future to clean up the Japanese country. He cannot fight an unprepared war and must plan ahead.

Chapter 410 Currency

After Sun Chengzong received the decree, Zhu Youjian looked at Meng Zhaoxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry:

"Meng Aiqing, what's the situation at Daming Shipyard now? Can two armored warships be launched in a month? Tell me about it."

Meng Zhaoxiang hastily cupped his hands and replied:

"Your Majesty, there are now 56 large shipyards in Daming, [-] of which are capable of building iron-clad warships. If they go all out, they can build four iron-clad warships a month."

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly:

"Well, Ming Dynasty wants to go to the sea as soon as possible, and the construction of iron-clad warships must be accelerated. I decided to double the salary of the large cabin workers. Under the condition of ensuring the quality, I will build six iron-clad warships for me a month, and other large transport ships. We must also hurry up and build."

Meng Zhaoxiang felt that although the emperor's request was very high, if the shipyard went all out, it might not be impossible, so he hurriedly received the order.

"Ministry of obedience"

After Meng Zhaoxiang received the decree, he felt that the salary increase of the shipbuilders was too high, and other departments would have opinions, which would easily cause dissatisfaction among the people. He couldn't help saying:

"Your Majesty, I feel that twice the salary of the craftsmen seems a bit high. Other departments will have objections. Double the salary is enough."

Zhu Youjian shook his head:

"No no, twice the amount remains the same. Daming is in urgent need of iron-clad warships. Since the craftsmen are asked to work more, they must pay enough money. Compared with the future prosperity of Daming, this salary is nothing. If anyone refuses to accept it, let them directly Find me."

Sun Chuanting, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, also supported the increase in wages for craftsmen:

"Your Majesty is wise, as long as you can contribute to the revival of the Ming Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to double the salary. The cabinet supports the increase of salary for craftsmen."
