Chapter 862: The war is approaching (1)

When Yan Changwu went to fight the Tatars on the mainland, Chen Zhongji, the prime minister who remained in Southeast Asia, judged that the Hong Maofan planned to attack the Southeastern Prefecture, so the Southeastern Prefecture was preparing for the war.

Implement measures such as speeding up the construction of warships and artillery, training the army, strengthening urban defense, and actively collecting intelligence.

However, the Southeast Mansion did not intend to make the first shot, but defended and counterattacked.

In Southeast Asia, Yan Changwu is like a lion guarding the land. The Orchid may not dare to come, even if they make a slight change. Yan Changwu is definitely a preemptive strike. If there is an excuse, he will use it. If there is no excuse, he will create an excuse to go to war with the Orchid and kill the Indian Ocean go with.

At this time, the East and West forces were bordered by the Malacca Strait and Sumatra Island. Due to the inconvenience of traffic and information transmission, the Southeast Prefecture assembled battleship formations and cruise ships. , But the wolf did not come, and gradually slack off.

However, the wolf is indeed ready to come!

The unbalanced trade is the cause of the wars launched by the Hong Maofan, more of the coveting of Eastern wealth, and the fear of the yellow disaster!

Among the European countries, Spain is an old colonial country and the first "empire that never sets in the sun". It is uniquely endowed by nature. After the great discovery of European geography, the Spanish ate the dividends of the New World, such as the discovery of two world-class silver mines. , And the huge profits gained from selling Chinese silk, porcelain, tea and other commodities (they were the first to come to China) made the Spanish accustomed to lying down and making money.

The money is falling from the world, and it is easy to get it. Spain implements expansionary finances and money is spent everywhere. For example, they went to the Japanese country to exert internationalism and help the people of the Japanese country to believe in God. Anyway, if you believe in me, you will get money, um, you will be saved. Leading to the severance of diplomatic relations between Japan and Spain.

Other rambling countries, including Portugal, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the later developing countries such as France and Sweden, do not have such good conditions. They are mercantilism, that is, a country’s national strength is based on a trade surplus, and its export value is greater than its import value. The amount of money, and strive to earn wealth.

Make more money! Keep your money in the country and strengthen your own strength!

However, the Hong Maofan who was engaged in the trade found that all the silver had been earned by the Chinese. The Chinese were aggressive and sold everything from their unique silk, tea, and porcelain to cannons, gunpowder, glass and big clocks. Hong Maofan discovered They are in a dilemma where they can only exchange silver for commodities.

Previously, the Netherlands occupied the Spice Islands, and it was quite profitable to sell spices.

But the Chinese occupied the entire Southeast Asia and drove the Dutch away. The Dutch lost this important source of wealth.

Hong Maofan has also worked hard. They operate east-west routes, like the hard-working ants and worker bees who trade goods from the east to the west, earning a little hard money, or even lifeless money---the sea is unpredictable and often comes. No return, the cargo is lost.

The Chinese people's agricultural, industrial and commercial economic system has developed in an all-round way, and Hong Maofan's products are not appreciated.

In order to balance the trade, Hong Maofan sold kater grass to China in the name of medicine, Yapian and spice. Unfortunately, this is the Ming Dynasty, not the Manchu Dynasty!

Yan Chang used force to block this criminal trade, and all those involved in trafficking in Yapian and Caterpillar were engaged in earth-digging work.

The red hair fan is poor in skills, and the silver continues to flow to the east and into China, and the psychology is becoming more and more imbalanced!

Hong Maofan who came to Southeast Asia saw himself as a beggar, while Southeast Asian cities were lined with tall buildings and people wore silks and satin!

Let the red hairs drool and answer, the city is magnificent, the Chinese are so rich!

The pigs are fattened, it's time to kill!

They also saw the sailing warships in Southeast Asia from scratch, from small to large, which aroused fear in their hearts.

Since the Chinese can occupy Southeast Asia, they can also rush to the Indian Ocean, occupy India, West Asia and Africa, leaving Hong Maofan nowhere to stand!

They have not developed for thirty years, and their strength has expanded to this point. With time, it will be worth it!

Not allowing the Chinese sphere of influence to continue to expand became the consensus of the Hong Maofan colonists. They united unprecedentedly and determined to work together to destroy their fleet, conquer Southeast Asia, and seize the wealth of the Chinese. The ultimate goal was to drive the Chinese back to the mainland. .

The land is for the Chinese, and the sea is for the Europeans!

Among the red hair fans, the Dutch were the best, and they successfully persuaded the British.

Originally, the relationship between the British and the Southeastern government was the best. Before, the British had less power than Malacca, and there was not much conflict with the Chinese. Moreover, the British underwritten the Chinese cane sugar to West Asia and gained a lot.

But the Dutch warned them: "The Chinese will attack the Indian Ocean, and West Asia will become theirs. We will return to our hometown at that time and we will not earn anything!"

After successfully persuading the British, the Portuguese and Spaniards also joined the alliance!

In fact, the Chinese have not touched the influence of the Spanish in Luzon and the Portuguese in Macau, but the two teeth prefer the Chinese to stay on land, and they don't like seeing Chinese ships in the sea.

So they hit it off, ready to go to war against the Chinese in the East.

After the main forces withdrew from Southeast Asia, Hong Maofan focused his efforts on operating colonies in India and Africa.

The Netherlands has sites such as the Netherlands India, the Coromandel Coast (a part of the coast of the Bay of Bengal in the Deccan Peninsula of India), the Netherlands Bengal, the Netherlands Mozambique, and the Netherlands Gold Coast.

Britain occupied British India. Since 1609, the East India Company established immigration strongholds along the coast of India and established commercial stations in many regions of West Asia (this was not available before)

Portugal owns Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Macau, Malacca, Goa, India and many places in Africa.

Spanish colonies mainly include: Central and South America except Brazil, the Philippines in Asia, and parts of the northwestern corner of Africa.

France has also opened up several business stations in Asia and Africa.

India has the best "qualification". It has a large area, a large population, and coal and iron. The key is to be stupid. (Understand why the Southeastern Government has issued so many visas to Indians, right)

The rambling countries are vying to establish business stations, strongholds, and even lease large areas in India, with the Netherlands and the United Kingdom occupying the largest areas.

There is the Mughal Empire in the north of India, and the lords and princes of the Tubangs in the south. Even the Mughal Empire has very poor control power, so Hong Mao was given an opportunity to take advantage of it.

They developed trade and built strongholds, from a single mode of operation to multiple modes of operation, such as planting, mining, and shipbuilding.

Among them, the Dutch and the British are the most enthusiastic. They built shipyards, built ships, and guns.

Ceylon (Sri Lanka) Colombo, the Portuguese territory. Relatively speaking, the Portuguese behaved more moderately and seemed to be less enthusiastic about the Chinese war. But what I did not expect is that the leaders of the Asian countries of the Hong Maofan countries are in This meeting.

The Dutch anthnyvandieen (Anthony van Dimen is Anthony) and arelreyniersz (Karl-Venierrell, namely: Karl);

These two gentlemen are very different ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are veteran colonists. Anthony arrived in Batavia in 1617, and has been discussing life on the sea since then, conducting trade between the East and the West. He also served in the Dutch fleet. He devoted most of his energy to expanding the power of the Dutch East India Company in Southeast Asia. He has even been to the mainland of Australia. For him, it is a pity that there are too few Dutch people to occupy the territory of Australia.

Mr. Carl was born in Amsterdam in 1604 in 1604. In 1627, when he was only 23 years old, he sailed to the Indian Islands. From then on, he ran in the ocean, proficient in navigation and artillery warfare.

Lord Peter Wright and Sir Arthur Wing of England;

Then there are Spain's Jose Luis and Juan Carlos;

Ramos Oliveira and Simao Paulo of Portugal;

Then there are France's André and Mr. Avogaddo. They did not have too many entourages. They simply held a meeting in a small house at the Colombo Commercial Station in Portugal to decide on the matter of war with the Chinese.

They have all been authorized domestically, allowing them to act cheaply.
