Chapter 779
Three Promotions and Six Consolations
In a year, not only did the big smoke made by the Ming Dynasty completely open up the market in the UK.
Opium also has popular consumers in other European countries.
The merchants of the Ming Dynasty were also spread all over European countries, and the figures of Chinese merchants could be seen where there were people.
The products of the Ming Dynasty have become items that Europeans cannot do without.
From needlework soap to merchant ships and bicycles, the few factories in Europe were all swallowed up by Ming merchants.
Europeans can only earn money desperately for the goods they need and smoke.
Especially the British, many of them have lost their money and even lost the ability to work. They only think about the tatami in the Ming tobacco restaurant all day long.
Most military personnel are inseparable from the smoke and have almost lost their combat power, even the royal family and nobles.
Of course, they also have clear-headed people, but unfortunately no one is willing to listen to their words.
If the yelling is too fierce, the Ming Jinyiwei will come to the door in the middle of the night, and the result of waiting for them is to throw the corpse in the wilderness.
The silver and gold in Europe continued to flow to the Ming Dynasty's treasury and the people.
It can be said that 80% of European goods come from the Ming Dynasty.
There were many European and British people who opened factories, but they did not have technical support and the prices were relatively high.
Several price wars by merchants from the Ming Dynasty bankrupted the newly established factory in the local area.
Some people in the UK and the Netherlands had no money to buy the Ming Dynasty's spiritual food, and were incited by some malicious people to smash and rob the Ming merchants and tobacco shops.
The Ming Dynasty immediately made strong suggestions and warnings to the British Netherlands.
When the other party had not calmed down the turmoil for the time being, Zhu Youjian took the opportunity to order Haike and Huang Fei to lead 5,000 navys to Southampton and Amsterdam in the name of protecting the Ming merchants.
This is the first time that the Ming Navy has left Asia and came to the distant Europe.
Their arrival immediately caused panic among the royal families of the two kingdoms, and Britain and the Netherlands quickly sent troops to quell the riots.
After half a month of attack, the riot finally subsided, but the Ming Navy had already stationed in the two countries on this grounds and refused to leave.
The people of Daming lost only some goods during this riot.
Because some of the merchants were soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and Jinyiwei, they also brought advanced firearms, with only a few casualties and more than one hundred injured.
Under the strong pressure from the Ming Dynasty, Britain and the Netherlands finally lost three million taels of silver to be finished.
After the market resumed, due to the huge demand, the smoke grown in several places in the South China Sea Province could no longer meet the needs of European consumers.
Baihu immediately sent someone back to the Ming Dynasty to report to the emperor.
After receiving the report, Zhu Youjian's eyes were fixed on the infamous Golden Triangle region in later generations.
Since the smoke has high requirements for environmental soil and climate, although the Ming Dynasty planted a lot on Huangming Island (Java) and Luzon, the yield was not high.
The most suitable place for planting in Asia is in the Golden Triangle region. In order to make the British and Europeans enjoy their appetite, Zhu Youjian is preparing to take action against the Golden Triangle region.
The Golden Triangle refers to a triangle area located in the border areas of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia.
Because this region has been rich in big smoke for a long time, it is the main producer of big smoke in the world, making the "Golden Triangle" famous all over the world.
Of course, it was still deserted at that time, and only Zhu Youjian knew where was the best area for the important smoke.
I was blocked in one chapter today. For safety reasons, all opium will be replaced by big smoke in the future.
The scope of the Golden Triangle is roughly included in Shan State and Kachin State in northern Myanmar.
Chiang Rai Province in Thailand, in the northern part of Chiang Mai Province, in the Luang Namta Province, in Laos, in Phongshari, Udomsey Province, and in the western part of Luang Prabang Province.
At this time, Myanmar ruled the Tohyu Dynasty, and its strength was the most powerful in the Indochina Peninsula.
When it comes to Myanmar, we must not stop talking about the difficulty of water.
In the 13th year of Yongli, Emperor Yongli, who was desperate, fled to Myanmar to take refuge, while Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan's troops insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty on the Sino-Myanmar border.
When Emperor Yongli entered Myanmar, the Burmese king Mangda was quite polite to the monarchs and ministers of Nanming, but after Mangda's brother Mangbai killed his brother and seized the throne, the situation took a sharp turn.
In July of the fifteenth year of Yongli, Mangbai sent an envoy to visit Emperor Yongli. He first blamed him for neglecting the Burmese King. Soon after, he notified the emperor and ministers of the Nanming to cross the river to discuss matters and drink water together to reiterate their intention of making friends.
As a result, when Grand Secretary Ma Jixiang, Grand Eunuch Li Guotai, and Duke Qian Guotianbo led his ministers to his destination, they were massacred by Burmese soldiers.
More than 30 Ming ministers, including Ma Jixiang, Li Guotai and Mu Tianbo, were all killed, which is known in history as the "Difficult of Cursing Water".
After the Burmese soldiers massacred Ming ministers, they crossed the river to besiege Emperor Yongli's residence.
After a lot of killing and looting, Emperor Yongli, Empress Dowager, Empress, Prince and others were all hostages.
In December of that year, after learning that the Qing army had approached the capital Awa.
In order to avoid the danger of national destruction, Emperor Yongli and others were presented to the Qing army commander Wu Sangui.
Even if he did not hand over Emperor Yongli to Wu Sangui, Emperor Yongli would be a prisoner in Burma at this time.
In June of the following year, Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang and Crown Prince Zhu Cixuan were ordered by Wu Sangui to hang him on Bizipo in Kunming with a bowstring.
Except for Queen Wang and Empress Ma who committed suicide before, the rest of his family were escorted to Beijing.
When Emperor Yongli was killed, he was 40 years old and was burned to ashes after his death.
With the death of Emperor Yongli, the Ming Dynasty, which was founded in 294, was officially destroyed.
Of course this is a funeral. Now that Zhu Youjian has changed the direction of history, that kind of thing will not happen again.
The dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in China was treated like this by Myanmar. How could Zhu Youjian make them continue to exist?
I didn't pay attention to Myanmar before, mainly because Japan and Nanyang did not take it.
Now it is time to clean up Myanmar, but we cannot start war without reason.
Now it just happened that Myanmar and other countries were originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but later they later acted as British colonial rule and broke away from China's control.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the Yunnan Chengxuan General Office in the southwest border, which belongs to the national first-level administrative region of the Ming Dynasty.
It is called the General Administration, the General Administration, and the vassal department, and it is not called a "province" or "province".
But it is at the same level as the current "province".
Under the Ministry of Education and Envoys of Yunnan, many ethnic minorities lived in the area.
In order to facilitate management, a second-level administrative department is set up under the Administrative Affairs Office.
He manages ethnic minority affairs and calls himself the Xuanfu Department and the Xuanfu Department.
There are three Xuanfu Divisions and six Xuanfu Divisions under the Yunnan Provincial Administration and Envoy Division, collectively known as the "Three Xuans and Six Fu Divisions".
"Three Propagandas and Six Comforts" is a general term for nine important chieftains in southwestern Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty.
The "Three Xuan" refers to three larger chieftains set up in the border areas of Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, namely the Nandian Xuanfu Envoy, the Ganya Xuanfu Envoy, and the Longchuan Xuanfu Envoy.
"Six Comforts" refers to the six larger chieftains set up in Yunnan border areas in the Ming Dynasty, namely the Cheli Xuanfu Division, the Mengyang Xuanfu Division, the Mubang Xuanfu Division, the Myanmar Xuanfu Division, the Eight Hundred Days and the Lao Xuanfu Division.
The "Three Xuan and Six Fu" are all affiliated with the Yunnan Provincial Administration of the Ming Dynasty, and the Xuan and Fu Envoy Department is higher than the Xuan and Fu Envoy Department.
