In the chairman's office, five friends took advantage of the rare opportunity to have a small meeting. It's important, but it's nothing.

Chairman Wu Dapeng said to the other four directors: "The Dutch are going to do it-"

The four of them unconsciously let out an "ah".

Chairman Wu Dapeng knew that they were so surprised, not because they were afraid, but because they were surprised, and there was some relaxation. Otherwise, there will always be something in everyone's heart, annoying.

Chairman Wu Dapeng clicked on a large edited video in his notebook and said: "Take a look, this is our top-secret information at present, and I will go back to the Internet in a while." There are subtitles below, Liu Yun cut it very well, and the subtitles are also very good, but this kid states that this is the last time. I'll never do it again next time—"

Looking at everyone's surprised looks, Chairman Wu Dapeng shook his head and said, "No way, the contract they signed at that time was to engage in security work-"

Director Li Ziqiang said: "I can let Manager Mei Lezhi talk to him, and he will definitely be able to do something about the contract." ”

Director Sun De said: "Pull it down, you, don't give Manager Merle Zhi to look for hatred points everywhere." Can't those two boys? ”

"It's okay, it should be okay to practice. But the things they brought together were terrifying—a ton of soccer bags and a ton of equipment for filming and broadcasting—"

He may be the only one in the whole group, Chairman Wu Dapeng, who is fully aware of the materials carried by each traverser.

Director Li Ziqiang said: "It's really two children, I asked them, and they still hid it from me, it's useless to make this - if it were me, how good it would be to bring two tons of special alloy metal, or all kinds of knives." ”

Director Jianguoan smiled and said: "That's a private matter of others, you can let your dreams fly." Dreams are dreams, majors are majors - don't mess around. ”

Director Song Shida sighed, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said softly: "The entire Hantang Group is transparent to the five of us, and all personal belongings are gone—"

Director Li Ziqiang was about to say something, but Director Sun De gently and proudly preemptively said:

"What personal belongings you want, the entire Hantang Group is our achievement!"

Li Ziqiang muttered, let's be a sample, it's your sense of responsibility again-

Chairman Wu Dapeng was not in a hurry at all, it is normal for these people to go off topic when they discuss......

The video starts playing, a shot of a character talking. It was all taken in the customs office, and it was a conversation between Ma Dehua and Gao De and a number of businessmen.

They studied them one by one.

First, a Ming merchant from Macau caught their attention.

First of all, the situation in Europe in the first half of the 16th and 17th centuries was completely different from now, much like the Spring and Autumn period of the Ming Dynasty 6...... The concept of the state is not very clear. For example, if a king marries his princess to another king, he may give one of his provinces as a dowry. When a queen marries a king, the two countries merge into one. If a king dies and has no children, and only one daughter becomes queen in a foreign country, perhaps his daughter will inherit the throne, and the two countries will de facto merge into one country......

Therefore, in this period, it is basically not possible to divide "country", but "family" and "region", so of course, what name mentioned in this article in the past or future cannot be completely linked to the current country.

As early as the sixth year of Zhengde, that is, in 1511, Portugal captured the place at the throat of the trade between the East and the West, and at the same time, as an important part of the tributary system of the Ming Dynasty, Manchuria, and then in the eleventh year of Zhengde, it reached the land of Tuen Mun Ao in Haikou, Guangzhou, Guangdong, and then to Ningbo, Zhangzhou, and then to Langbaijiao Oyster Mirror (that is, we call Macao) to trade.

The Portuguese exchanged cheap goods such as mirrors, pins, dried fruits, peppers, spices, etc. for Ming tea, raw silk, porcelain, silk, gold, precious stones, pearls, brass and other valuables, and they made more than 20 times the profit, so the Portuguese flocked to it.

None of these trades were approved by the Ming government and were smuggled trade.

In order to further expand overseas trade, the king of Portugal at the time, the ambitious Manuel I, officially sent an envoy to the Minda in 1517, Kapitan6. However, the officials of Guangdong Zhenfu and other officials used Hainan as useless Buddha Lang machine, and their envoys did not have domestic documents, so they were not credible, so they left their envoys to ask the Ministry of Rites to deal with them. Decree: 'The decree is returned, and its goods are given to it.' ’”

Portugal was bent on expanding the trade from the East to China, but it did not do so, but it went to great lengths without any success.

In 1553, the Portuguese bribed local officials in Guangdong to occupy Macao under the pretext that the ship's cargo was wet and needed to be "borrowed to dry", but this was only a private act of a local official.

Soon, the good fortune of the Portuguese came, and in 1557, the Ming pirates besieged Guangzhou, and the Ming officials begged the Portuguese for help, so they sent three warships to defeat the sampan-class pirates. The officials of the Ming government of Guangdong were allowed to live in Macao for a long time because of their meritorious service in catching pirates, in return for their work......

At this time, the Ming Dynasty government did not lose its sovereignty over this place, and still exercised effective rule over Macao, collecting 5oo taels of silver and various taxes every year from Macao, and officials at all levels in Macao were also sent by the Chinese government.

Later, the Ming government began to make a bad move, in order to effectively control the Portuguese living in Macao, they built a wall outside the Portuguese settlement, leaving the gate in the middle to guard it. These gatekeepers regularly opened the gates to supply the Portuguese with vegetables, food and daily necessities.

The original intention of the Ming government was to let the Portuguese people live under the strict control of the Chinese government, "so that the Portuguese can look up to me and make it difficult to live for a long time". In the event of a riot, the gate can be closed in time to cut off its food supply.

But this is really a bad move, what is the power of the Confucian culture of Ming University 6? Powerful Inclusivity!

If the Portuguese were allowed to live entirely in the society of the Ming people, after a few hundred years, I don't know what the result would be...... So is regional ethnic autonomy and the like a good move?

In that side of the world, some people with well-defined faces, curved heads, big eyes and double eyelids, who are called beautiful and handsome guys, you and I know who their ancestors may be, but they have been completely assimilated...... There are also Jews who came to live in the Ming Dynasty during the Tang and Song dynasties, and they are all drowned in the sea of people......

It can be responsibly concluded that in the late Ming Dynasty, Ming Da 6 lost its tolerance, a kind of Tang Dynasty, you come, you can still live in the atmosphere of my capital.

Then again.

Therefore, the Ming emperors and ministers underestimated the ability of the Portuguese, they made business as a business, and the private trade on the border was never well managed and controlled, and the local officials also colluded with outsiders to enrich themselves, which was extremely conducive to the private trade between the Portuguese and the Ming merchants without interference from the Ming government. It seems that this is the same in every time and space.

In addition, the use of walls to enclose the Portuguese contributed to the self-government of the Portuguese. The Portuguese organized a council within the gates, held elections every three years, and also established a guard and customs to collect customs duties from foreign ships in Australia.

With the encouragement of the Jesuits, in 1583 the Council of Macau was established on its own, and the Portuguese community was governed by self-government. At that time, it was without the consent of the Ming Dynasty government. However, in 1586, it was confirmed by the Viceroy of India and Portugal.

In 1623, the Portuguese Governor of India appointed the Governor of Macao, Masgar, please note that the meaning of the Governor of Macao in this period was different from that of later periods, it only had the power to manage the army stationed in Macao, and had no other administrative functions, which was equivalent to the head of the army in Macao. So he just lived in the Fortress and didn't have a separate official residence of his own.

At this time in 1649, the three factions in Macau were the governor in charge of defense, Vaski, who had just been elected as the president, and the other was the president of the Society of Jesuits, Fan Li'an, who could not be underestimated.

It can be said that the three of them control a qiē in Macau.

After the death of the incident in the city of Geranza in Taiwan, the speaker of the parliament, De Aaron, and the governor de Aaron immediately had different interpretations.

Speaker de Aron smelled a business opportunity.

Over the years, business in Macau has been sluggish, and the war in Ming Da 6 has affected the export of raw silk and silk, and porcelain and tea have also decreased year by year; Coupled with the disruption of trade with Japan due to missionary events; It had just taken advantage of the merger of Spain and Portugal to sell silk products to Manila in the Philippines and could have made more money, but with the independence of Portugal, it turned into a bubble.

They could only maintain contact with Goa, India, and the other Indian colonies and Malacca colonies were occupied by the Dutch and British, and it was clear that their trade space was reduced to a very low level. During this period, there were also incidents of merchant ships being robbed by Dutch or English pirates, which was really unbearable.

The Speaker de Aron met with several Ming merchants in succession, and listened to their accounts, even if the merchants had only heard rumors, and he listened carefully to each of them.

At this time, there were already more than 40,000 people in Macao, 90 percent of whom were Ming people, all of whom came to escape the war, and countless Ming people used this as a channel to flow to Southeast Asia -- of course, many merchants transferred their business here.

The Speaker de Aron hurriedly summoned Governor Waski.

Governor Waski was also thinking about looking for him at that time, and in the face of all kinds of rumors, Governor Wasky was also very worried after hearing it.

The Dutch attacked Macau three times, but they were all defeated, and when they came to attack, the largest number was 25oo soldiers. But according to rumors, they were only a few hundred people, and there were women among them. What's even more terrifying is that in one day, they attacked the city of Geranza!

It's a fortress! Without artillery and three thousand soldiers, it was simply impossible to take it.

There are also all kinds of rumors that are alarming. But what worries him the most is that he heard that they are also Ming people, but Ming people from the big city of Antarctica!

Now all over Macau is full of Ming people......

The two discussed for a long time, and gradually had an idea, and couldn't help but smile at the same time.

Their solution is simple, and it may not cost them anything at all. Swing Portugal's specialty of sowing discord!

Why in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, only the Portuguese could occupy the Ming Dynasty 6 or the former Qing Dynasty? Can even get the Ming government to fight with them and defend their interests in Ming 6?

Yang Youxing, who used to be an online writer, analyzed and then put his ideas on the current affairs forum on the Internet, which of course caused controversy.

Yang Youxing believes that in addition to the fact that they caught up with the Great Voyage earlier, there are several important reasons.

First; They are good at buying what they like, and they will show weakness. No more examples.

Second: they are good at blocking outside information. They can make almost everyone on the University of Minnesota 6 think that Westerners are Franco, and they Francos represent Westerners. That's smart.

The Spaniards, the Dutch, and the British all offered to use their treasures to trade with the Ming merchants, but they were all firmly rejected by Macao, preferring to lead to war. This is their core interest, and it cannot be touched.

They forced British merchants to secretly set up stalls near Macao and sell their goods at half the price lower than theirs, but within three months, they were driven away by troops sent by the Ming government from Macao...... There's a reason why the British and Dutch always join forces to grab the Portuguese merchant ships.

Third: they are adept at using discordant techniques at no cost. All the foreign traders from the West, except for the Portuguese, are all ill-intentioned......

The Portuguese have been helping the Ming government close its doors, and it should be right to say that.

Of course, the Jesuit missionaries used this as a base to expand towards the Ming Dynasty6, that is another matter, the Jesuit behavior is a theocratic act, and they cannot control it. But it depends on whether or not Macao's own interests are harmed...... When Nan Ming was desperate in the end and wanted to ask the Pope for help, the speaker of Macau did everything possible to stop him.

Why? I am afraid that the Manchus will settle accounts with them after winning the war. It was at this time, of course, that they closed the door to Nanming's aid.

The same missionaries were helping Macau, and every time Macau was in crisis, these missionaries used their connections to justify it.

In order to prevent the invasion and seizure of colonial opponents such as Spain and the Netherlands, the Macao authorities attach great importance to military affairs, and in addition to building nine large and small forts in various parts of Macao, there is also the famous Bugarao Cannon Foundry, which manufactures all kinds of copper and iron cannons in large quantities, and has excellent craftsmanship. They claim that this is the best artillery factory in the Far East.

Originally, this artillery factory could not only meet Macao's own defense needs, but also sell large quantities to China and Southeast Asian countries, but when Nanming needed help the most, they refused.

The Speaker of the Parliament, D'Aron, convened the councillors and introduced a motion to reduce the taxes on Ming merchants who did business in the regions of Geranza and Batavia in Taiwan, in order to encourage them to go to those places, and of course, to take the initiative to help Macao deliver various messages.

When the speaker of the council, De Aaron, gave a brief introduction to the life of the city of Geranza in Taiwan, this tax reduction proposal was passed for the first time at one time. Everyone knows what the Speaker wants to do...... Let their attention be on each other.

The second was to raise taxes on the Ming people who lived in the area to increase Macau's defense. This is controversial because the additional tax would increase the wages of the Ming people employed by some of the merchants, increasing their costs...... They started arguing.

However, this quarrel did not affect the implementation of article 1...... Slowly, both the cities of Geranza and Batavia were given a lot of useful information......

After reading the chatter-like remarks of the Ming businessman, Director Sun De said with a smile: "This Ming person is compared to Ma Dehua, and his words are so fine......

"Finely chopped? Is that a good thing to be called? "If Director Li Ziqiang hadn't waited for a while, he would have returned to the Red Star Industrial Zone. What is negotiable about these things, isn't it how to reduce the labor force!

"Don't say that, we still get a lot of useful information...... The Dutch started preparing more than two months ago, so can it come in June? Director Jianguo An watched the edited chat video very carefully and said, "Everyone's shortcomings may be irreplaceable advantages......

"Don't talk to me about these educational words, I don't want to listen to ......"

Director Song Shida interjected softly: "In the original time and space, when Zheng Chenggong attacked the city of Gelanza, they came to the aid of nine ships in June, and there were only 725 soldiers, and there were more than 1,000 sailors...... I'm afraid there won't be many people this time, but considering that they are all in the prime of labor, it's okay. ”

"We've been spreading the word for a long time that we're small in numbers...... They might be able to come sooner. How do I feel that the Ming merchants from Macau seem to be eager to tell us the news of Batavia? ”

Chairman Wu Dapeng has a special feeling.

Director Li Ziqiang thought for a while and said, "Tie us down, right?" Whatever, we have radar...... How much comes to send labor...... Don't you want Batavia City? ”

Everyone said in unison, "Yes!" Send Director Li Ziqiang to lead the security team to receive! ”

"Pull it down, I can't even take care of it for nothing."

Guo Huaiyi has returned from northern Taiwan.

When the two large plywood boats slowly approached the dock, Guo Huaiyi was the first to jump off the gangplank, and the two boats were filled with collected coal, and some changes were made in advance in order to add more.

Guo Huaiyi has never understood, what is the use of the coal that the people of the Hantang Group want? If you want to cook on fire, isn't charcoal better to use? Just for the cheap? Such a big deal...... That's not all.

At that time, he could only watch He Bin go to Guangzhou with a few of his men, and he also wanted to go, and he was also very familiar with Guangzhou City. However, the Han and Tang clique had other arrangements for him, asking him to take two large splint boats, rice and some articles to Keelung in the northern region of Taiwan to build an advance base -- that is, to build a large camp and a stockade, with an initial scale of 2,000 people.

What is this for? Guo Huaiyi's face turned red at that time and he didn't ask, for fear that his mouth would make people suspicious.

He had already said that the Hantang Group would do whatever it wanted, or should he send his youngest son to Chichi Primary School?

Captain Wu Jianqiang thought for a while and said, "If you have something to say, just ask, don't be too careful." When the time comes, if you catch those pirates or something, where do you say you should put them? ”

Guo Huaiyi suddenly laughed and said, "My old Guo is a stupid person, I can't think of such a simple thing - I have to cultivate more solidly, such people are not good!" ”

Captain Wu Jianqiang said: "I can't think of it, find a place closer to the coal-producing place." After it was built, it was left behind by a few brothers to guard it. ”

"Haha, understand, understand, my old Guo will definitely be able to do a good job."

"Look at how much coal has been stored there, and bring it back -- by the way, fix the docks, the bigger the better."

"Understood, understood, there are countless people under my brothers who are good at woodworking!"

After Guo Huai came out, the people of the Hantang Group also considered whether he should be allowed to bring a few Ming security team members, and it was not impossible for them to bring a few 1649 branches.

The people of the Hantang Group never worried about the leakage of their products, or the ridiculous things like people copying them, because they have no way to produce seamless steel pipes themselves, let alone seamless steel pipes that can withstand high pressures - even if they lose a few branches, it doesn't matter, even if they give them to the Europeans at this time, they will have to find their way out of the country for 200 years.

In the end, the result of the discussion was that although the families of the first phase of the Ming security team members had arrived at the military compound of the Chiji Agricultural Base, there was not enough time.

The people of the Han and Tang clique thought that although this method of taking hostages to ensure loyalty was low-level and effective, it was far from reaching cultural and conceptual recognition and was more loyal, which was like imagining that someone from the Han and Tang clique went to the Manchu Qing to be a high-level baoyi, or a female traveler ran to the Qing palace to participate in the palace fight, which makes people vomit when they think about it.

Brother X, do you love me? Your sister, I really vomited.

On the surface, although they basically meet the requirements of the Hantang Group, what about their bones? The people of the Hantang clique did not have the confidence to remove the servility from their blood, but replaced them with the consciousness of abiding by various regulations, although they now memorized the basic regulations one by one. But these are two different things.

The people of the Hantang Group did not match Guo Huaiyi with Mingren security guards, but they matched the oil exploration team with twenty-one in one go, and there were also twenty-one Xingang Society people--natives who had just been trained by the security team in the boot camp.

Of the 42-person team, there was only one person from the Hantang Group, and one person was selected from the online voluntary registration.
