The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas - Chapter 2673
Hot recommendation:
Yan Changwu drove back to the City of Rising Sun. The Queen of the South China Empire, Yang Ying’er, led the crowd to greet him and congratulate him on the successful conclusion of the visit and the thorough rationalization of Daming’s foreign affairs.
Red flowers, white lotus roots and green lotus leaves, the two Chinese are originally one family, so it is not surprising that the Queen of Nanhua celebrated Daming.
In the past, most of the diplomatic relations between Daming and foreign countries were tributary system, which emphasized face and neglected interests. It was clear that the country was here to do business, but Daming allowed the other party to pay tribute. As long as the other party showed a state of surrender and gave Daming face, he would be able to do so. Reaped a lot of rewards.
Mainly it was Monk Zhu who identified “Huairou Yuanren”, which is popularly speaking, since the foreign policy of swollen faces and fatter (suzerain state), foreign ministers went to the Ming Dynasty to make tribute or incidental commodities to do business. The trade policy of “Changbolai” means that how many things you bring to me is a tribute, and I will not give you any money. But rest assured, I will not let you suffer. I want to reflect the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, so I will “reward” you more gold and silver treasures, silk and silk.
Therefore, Daming Qihua has a strong performance here!
For example, in the fourth year of orthodoxy, when the Ryukyu envoys came to pay tribute and received one of the three divisions of the Ming Dynasty, the Fuzhou Ship Division, the Fujian Supervision Yushi Chenggui complained and said, “The envoys of the Ryukyu Kingdom stopped in Fuzhou. The money needed for the museum is not enough…but in less than six months now, more than seven hundred and six thousand nine hundred copper coins have been used.”
It’s simply a business that is at a loss to the point where it can no longer lose money. You have some less face, but you have lost a lot of money.
And it doesn’t necessarily have face. After all, the foreigners would say that Daming is “the people here are stupid and get money faster!”
The South China Empire’s foreign relations have long been a treaty system and a colonial system. Although it will also send money to other countries, the South China Empire’s gains are even greater. It belongs to the kind of harvest that “gives one dollar to me and people return three dollars.” .
During the Xinming period, the tributary system gradually declined, and finally Yan Changwu completed the final blow to it. He visited various countries as the southeast king of Ming Dynasty. He brought the Emperor Ming Dynasty to cover the jade seal on his body and there was a blank space signed by the cabinet veterans. An instrument, a treaty signed with each country, stipulates the relationship between countries in the form of legal provisions.
Since then, Xinming’s foreign relations have been completely transformed into a treaty system and a colonial system, and the past diplomatic and trade practices of garnishing Daming wool have become history.
This makes many foreign ambassadors and trading merchants who have dealt with Daming feel sorry for them. Alas, the bad guys are gone, and the good days are over!
Yan Changwu held a meeting in the conference room of the Haichang Building of the Rising Sun Palace to summarize and summarize the diplomatic visit, including Empress Yang Yinger, concubine Liu Ruye, Gu Hengbo, and blonde sister Louise (she is Mr. David) Niece) and the South China Cabinet and senior officials of various ministries. On the other side, there are more than a dozen Daming officials headed by Lao Chen Zizhuang of the Daming Pavilion.
It is a bit ridiculous. It is obviously Da Ming’s diplomatic activities, but the number of South China officials who came to listen to the report is three times as many as Da Ming officials.
With the overseas expansion of the South China Empire, the Empire attaches great importance to diplomatic activities and advocates moving between countries. Diplomats who are familiar with business emerge in an endless stream, and can smoothly transfer from internal affairs officials to diplomats when they are transferred.
In contrast, Daming’s diplomatic talents appear to be scarce. Fortunately, there is the help of South China. This time, under the leadership of Yan Changwu, he also brought South China’s diplomats and completed it with Daming officials.
First of all, Chen Zizhuang made a report. He mainly reported on the countries visited during the trip, the foreign relations activities carried out, and the results achieved.
This time the diplomatic activities were mainly carried out in seven countries: North Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, Annan, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar. New types of diplomatic relations were established, and treaties of good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation were signed. obligation.
There is also Laos, which is a landlocked country, and has sent prominent officials to Nanjing to report. They signed the same diplomatic treaty with Daming and did not pull down any of them.
While talking, Chen Zizhuang was a little excited.
As a native of Tanhua in the forty-seventh year of the Ming Dynasty Wanli, he went through the Wanli, Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties before becoming the cabinet veteran of Xinming. He is clear about Qianming’s diplomatic activities: “Death to face and suffer!”
Even in the dead end of the Chongzhen dynasty, the foreign tribute still followed the past trade policy of “thick and thin”, abruptly allocating money from the impoverished treasury to compensate the tribute at high prices, maintaining a pitiful dignity, and completely ignoring the tightness of Liaodong. And beacon everywhere in the country!
It’s alright now, I want to take advantage of Daming, but I don’t even have a door!
China respects the sovereignty of all countries, but all countries do not want to take advantage of China. Everyone’s exchanges are fair exchanges, and no one wants to eat up everything.
Chen Zizhuang’s excitement is also that this diplomatic parade is Chen Zizhuang’s official farewell trip, after which he will retreat with a dazzling halo, so he is very grateful to Yan Changwu!
After he finished speaking, Yan Changwu commissioned Mr. David to give an important report, which is “China Controls the World”!
“We have worked hard to govern the two Chinas, eliminated all internal troubles, defeated all enemies, and opened up our country for thousands of miles. Now, the world is our Chinese world!” Mr. David said calmly.
He emphatically pointed out that China’s control over the world is currently being improved.
“…The first is the military. Our military controls the most important parts of Asia and Europe. Global security depends on the two Chinese bases around the world. The most important way is our South China battleship formation. Railway transportation! Of course, it is also one of the means for the two Chinas to maintain their hegemony.
Our army can be deployed all over the world, Asia is ours, Africa is in our reserve, and the Europeans are on the defensive. We are equally divided with the whites in North America. We didn’t have much military power in South America before, but what the minister is telling you now is , We have, Uruguay, the dowry place of Her Majesty Queen Margaret Theresa. We already have a fleet stationed in the port to protect our interests. The number of Chinese people there has reached five thousand at once! (Many people exclaimed!)
The second is the trading system, which is very critical. We have established multinational companies, we dumped products to countries, purchased products from various countries, and invested in various countries, and controlled the industries of various countries, making it impossible for the economies of all countries. To get rid of the two Chinas and survive independently, we have to accept the control of our Chinese!
Any country, even if their monarch is unhappy with us Chinese, has to compromise with us, because they will not earn any silver dollars if we kick them out of the trading system.
We have completed trade negotiations with countries in East Asia and Northeast Asia to implement low-tariff trade. Other countries will not get preferential treatment if they are not members of the organization, and it is difficult to survive alone.
The third is the financial system. We have established a preliminary global trade settlement system and banking system. We use our two Chinese paper money as the international currency in circulation and have the right to international coinage. All of you sitting here are smart people and should understand. the benefits of!
The fourth is the science and technology system. With your Majesty’s “Wisdom Code”, we are constantly developing a science and technology system, discovering and inventing a steady stream, and establishing an international patent system. The patent is in my hands, and the benefits are so great that it doesn’t need to be too much. Say!
For those who dare not to respect our patent rights, and dare not to pay us the patent fees, please refer to the first article of the report! (Suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the venue!)
The fifth is the cultural system. Culture is the foundation of values. Countries deeply influenced by the two Chinese cultures will unconsciously take it for granted that our two Chinas are the world’s leaders. They deserve their name and are spiritually surrendered.
During our visit this time, all the upper echelons of the country speak Chinese. We point to the east, but they will not go to the west. Whatever we say, they do what they do! …”
The venue was very quiet, with only the heavy breathing of many people, which made the hearts ebb and flow of excitement.
Unknowingly, under the emperor’s guidance, the two Chinas actually took control of the world, and they did a great job!
