Chapter 897 There must be a Habsburg who dies in Mexico!
After dividing the "Mongolian industry" in Emperor Zhu's hands, the next step is to distribute overseas assets!
Emperor Zhu's overseas assets are quite huge, covering a large area around the Pacific Rim. Except for the Latin America, which is not his, all other territories are under his control!
Of course, being under his control does not mean that it can be divided. There are many vassal states with different surnames in the Pacific Rim. It is not possible for Emperor Zhu to drive away the original king with just one word and then replace it with someone named Zhu.
For example, Japan, Ryukyu Kingdom, Guangnan Kingdom, Yanping Kingdom, Siam Kingdom, Nanzhang Kingdom, Chenla Kingdom, Bali Sultanate, Sulu Sultanate, Malacca Sultanate, Banten Sultanate, Malanta Sultanate, Asia
The Sultanate of Qi, the Sultanate of Pattani, and many other vassal states, large and small, all have their own owners!
Among them, Japan is definitely the most powerful among the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, with a hard-working population of more than 20 million! It is also rich in gold, silver, brass and other rare metals - Japan is actually quite rich in resources.
It just lacks the coal and iron necessary for industrialization, and there are no plains where a large amount of cotton can be grown. Of course, there is no oil, so it is very difficult to get the oil and water of the first industrial revolution.
But before the Industrial Revolution, Japan's handicraft industry was developing well. Currently, it has three very profitable industries: lacquerware, dried abalone, and whale oil. Historically, the status of Japanese lacquerware was similar to that of Chinese porcelain and European glass. However,
The output of lacquerware is relatively small and can only be sold as a luxury product. It is impossible to cover the high, middle and low end like porcelain and glass. But it is still very profitable!
And whale oil is amazing. After the invention of whale oil lamps and before whales were caught in the sea, whale oil’s status was equivalent to that of oil in later generations!
The Sea of Japan was called the Whale Sea in this era, and you can tell from the name that there are many whales there. In the past two years, the market for whale oil has grown, so the Korean Province of the Ming Dynasty, the two Japanese countries, and the Ryukyu Kingdom also followed suit.
One vote.
Of course, those who benefited most from it must be the Crystal Palace who invented the glass whale oil lamp and the Tianxiang Palace (original Perfume Palace) that produced aromatic whale oil. There are also some Ming Dynasty profiteers who imitated the Crystal Palace and Tianxiang Palace products - these
But these are all industries created by Emperor Zhu!
So now Japan's Saio (King of Japan) and East Shogun (General) are living a very comfortable life, and they all deeply feel the great favor of the Celestial Empire - the Ming Dynasty stationed soldiers in Nagoya Tenno Castle and Ezo Island, and also sent the Toyo Fleet to
The Admiral was placed in the Nagoya Fortress just to protect the prosperity and stability of Japan's east and west countries. The whole country of Japan was so grateful!
With the protection of Ming Dynasty, Japan can rest assured that no one will dare to invade them in the future, and there will be no black ships visiting.
The Ryukyu Kingdom is still ruled by the Shang family dynasty, and Emperor Zhu has no intention of replacing them. However, King Zhu Tianwang's Tenno Castle has set its sights on Ryukyu's territory and opened a semicolon. It is now developing quite well. The Ming Dynasty Navy
The Toyo Fleet also set up a military port and fortress at Naha Port in Ryukyu.
The Guangnan Kingdom was the domain of the Ruan Lord of Annan. Now it has become independent and has become a vassal state directly subordinate to the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Ruan King of Guangnan has also been given the title of Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and has been given royal palaces in Guangzhou and Nanjing. King Zhu Tian's Heaven
The Royal City followed suit as usual, and enclosed land in Hoi An near Hue, the capital of Quangnan, and built the Quangnan King City - which is now a hot spot for investment!
In addition, Hoi An Port is also the military port of the Ming Dynasty's Nanyang Fleet, and fortresses and forts have been built near the port, so everyone can do business in Quang Nam Kingdom with peace of mind.
The Yanping Kingdom was a vassal state founded by King Zheng Jing of Yanping. It was located to the south of the Guangnan Kingdom and swallowed up the original Champa Kingdom and the Jiulongjiang Plain that originally belonged to Chenla. However, after Zheng Jing finished these things, he went down to report to his father, Zheng Chenggong.
The latest progress in the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty has left Zheng Keshuang, Feng Xifan, and Liu Guoxuan in a mess... Fortunately, the Nanyang Trading Company controlled by Zheng Kezang (Zheng Jing transferred his shares in the Nanyang Company
Passed to Zheng Kezang), he had plenty of money, and as long as Emperor Zhu got the Cinchona Cream, he could invest heavily in the Jiulong River Plain.
I believe that within a few years, the Jiulongjiang Plain will be prosperous!
As for the Kingdom of Siam and the Kingdom of Nanzhang, the situation has not been very good in recent years.
The Kingdom of Siam had been colluding with the Western colonists in the early years. After the Ming Dynasty destroyed Annan, the ruling King Narai could not withstand the temptation of his foreign minister, the Greek Constantine Valkan, and prepared to defect to the Franks.
The empire fought against the Ming Dynasty. As a result, before Emperor Zhu Longyan was furious, a coup occurred in Siam. The commander of the elephant army, Papi Luoja, launched a mutiny with the support of a group of conservative nobles and killed King Narai.
Standing Valkan and his heirs then proclaimed themselves kings.
However, Papi Luoja, who usurped the throne and came to power, could not convince the public, and there were many people who opposed him - Siam was not a centralized country, but a feudal country. Outside the capital city, there were feudal lords everywhere.
Can Biluoja usurp the throne? Why can't others? What's more, the Ming court had previously accepted the surrender of King Narai, so naturally it could not immediately recognize him as a usurper.
Therefore, ever since Papi Loja usurped the throne, the civil strife in Siam has not subsided, and uprisings against Papi Loja have arisen one after another. Moreover, the rebels can always get muskets "made in Paris, France"...
....The Ming Empire took the opportunity to intervene, occupying a large area of land at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River in the name of protecting trade and mediating civil strife in Siam, and also built a city named Bangkok.
The situation in Nanzhang left Emperor Zhu a little speechless. He was not very interested in the land of Nanzhang, so after destroying Burma and annexing Annan, he accepted the surrender of King Solinawangsa of Nanzhang. But this five-year reign
The old man of Nanzhang, who has been living for more than ten years, may have suffered from senile dementia. First, he suspected that his eldest son was committing adultery with his young wife, so he killed his son in a rage. Then he felt that his second son was not serious, and he also wanted to kill him to avoid future troubles.
, but it turned out that he ran faster that time and slipped away to the Kingdom of Siam. Both sons were not serious, and Lao Wang of Nanzhang was also sad. He also thought that he was in good health and not old, not even eighty years old.
, and also received the garlic medicine and the "digestive medicine" for treating heart diseases given by the Heavenly Kingdom, it seemed that there would be no problem in working for another twenty or thirty years. So he no longer succeeded immediately, and he died a few months ago.
..... As soon as he died, the Hao Nanzhang Kingdom was in chaos, and it was divided into four countries and started the "Romance of the Four Kingdoms". Moreover, the kings of the four kingdoms were all his descendants, and everyone said that they should take the throne. They gave
Zhu Heshang's memorials were very reasonable, so Emperor Zhu Da, the leader of the clan, didn't know what to do?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chenla Kingdom, which borders Nanzhang and Siam, has been on a stable downward path for a long time, and the future is quite promising... that is
Cambodia!
In Siam, south of Cambodia, it is almost the territory of the Tianfang Sect, and it is also the most lucrative territory in Southeast Asia!
The Ming Dynasty has now set up an overseas province on the Strait of Malacca, called the Straits Province. Its jurisdiction is Johor, Batam Island, Bintan Island, Kiribun Island, and the Riau Islands. The territory is not large or small, but the Strait of Malacca is
It is so blocked that the admiral of the Ming Dynasty's Nanyang Fleet is now located on Batam Island.
In addition, the sovereignty, fortress and military port of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia, as well as the sovereignty of the spice islands east of Java, have now been handed over to the Ming Dynasty. Their business houses and merchants' properties can still be used
Retained, but could not exercise sovereignty east of Malacca (including the Straits area). The Batavia colony taken over by the Ming Dynasty was renamed Zhennanfu!
Surrounding Straits Province and Zhennan Prefecture, there are seven places including the Sultanate of Balni, the Sultanate of Sulu, the Sultanate of Malacca, the Sultanate of Banten, the Sultanate of Malanta, the Sultanate of Aceh, and the Sultanate of Pattani.
Religious countries... After Zhu Heji controlled the Strait of Malacca, he accepted the surrender of these six countries, but at the same time stipulated the territories of these seven countries - only the land they currently control can have a great future.
recognition and protection of the DPRK.
In other words, most of the land in the Nanyang Islands has now become "ownerless" land - the indigenous princes, tribes, and Tianfang Sect colonists who control those lands can only become chieftains under the jurisdiction of the Celestial vassal.
As for what countries these vassals of the Celestial Dynasty belong to? It has not yet been determined...they are all territories to be distributed.
Also "to be distributed" are the Annan Kingdom, the Luzon Kingdom, and of course... there is also the new southern continent south of the Nanyang Islands! There are also those in the Pacific that have been discovered or have not yet been discovered.
Unowned island discovered!
This estate is really divided enough for as many sons as you want!
"Jiaxin!" Zhu Heji opened his mouth at this time and named the imperial concubine Bei Jiaxin.
"Your Majesty, I am here." Bei Jiaxin felt a burst of joy in her heart, and she happily got up from her seat and came to Zhu Heji.
Zhu Heji pointed at the location of Annan Kingdom and said with a smile: "Annan has generals and governors, but there is still a lack of a king. Why not let Jing'er lead King Annan."
"Jing'er? That Yiyin..." Bei Jiaxin looked at Zhu Heji with expectant eyes.
Zhu Yiyin is her pride. She has had a long face since she was a child, and she is deeply loved by Zhu Heji... But she didn't expect that she would become a nerd when she grew up.
"Study literature and become the king of learning!" Zhu Heji said with a smile, "I will also make him an idle prince, but I will not grant him a vassal or a country. I hope that he can become an Hanlin in the future, take over a university, and become a
Archmage."
"Then I will take the place of Yi Jing and Yi Yin to thank the Holy Spirit for your grace." Although Bei Jiaxin was a little disappointed, Zhu Yiyin was not made to be a king, so she couldn't force it!
"Yu Bing." Zhu Heji then called Zhou Yubing to his side, "Tiangui is also very popular with me. I wanted to keep him by my side, but Tiannan Kingdom must be guarded by a famous king, so I wanted to let Tiangui
You will serve as the King of Zhennan, sit in the city of Batavia, and guard the gate of the Ming Dynasty for me!"
He is the grandson of Emperor Chongzhen! It is perfect for him to guard the country.
Of course, as the King of Zhennan in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yibo could not only own the city of Batavia. What Zhu Heji now wants to hand over to the Zhennan Palace is the sovereignty of the colonies occupied by the Dutch East India Company on the Nanyang Islands. In the future,
You can also let him encircle some more territory in Borneo or the east of Java Island.
"Wen Ji, Ah Zhen!"
Zhu Heji called Li Wenji and Aoi Makoto to the front again, and then pointed at the map of the Luzon Islands and said to them: "I plan to divide the Luzon Islands into two parts, and the Luzon Island in the north will be the Lu Kingdom.
Give it to Yi Zhui (son of Aoi Shin), and all the islands in the south will be classified as the Song Kingdom and be granted to Yi Qin."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Of course, Aoi Makoto had no objection and thanked him happily.
But Li Wenji was a little unhappy. She frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Yiqin is now the King of Han..."
Zhu Heji leaned down, put his mouth close to his ear, and whispered: "Wen Ji, you are still young, let's just have another King of Han in the future!"
After arranging the birth of the future new King of Korea, Emperor Zhu turned to Qiu Shuzhen and Da Bo Ling and said: "I have already reserved the kingdoms of the Queen, Sister Ling, Lao Wu and Lao Eleven for them...
It has to be the best two portions. But now is not the time, let’s wait a few years!”
These two are spare tires... they can't be sealed away now. They have to wait until they are no longer needed before they can be allowed to go to the southern continent to become kings!
.......
The night is already dark, and whale oil lamps are still lit in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion on the second floor of Jiaotai Hall, where Emperor Zhu lives tonight. Emperor Zhu, who has just finished bathing, is wearing a white dark coat, loosened his bun, and
"Changmao" is sitting upright on a Taishi chair. Anu, who is sleeping tonight, is wearing an acacia collar on his upper body and a pair of silk shorts on his lower body that reveal his white calves. He also has long hair and is holding a hand.
A round fan stood behind Emperor Zhu, "fanning his hair" - the whole thing was a "human-shaped hair dryer".
I don’t know if it’s because he often practices Mongolian wrestling with Zhu Heji, and has given birth to eight children in total. Anu, who is already in his forties this year, actually maintains a pretty good figure, with a “broad mind” and plump hips.
The waist is not too thick, but the long legs and arms are a bit thick... At first glance, you can tell that not everyone can ride a "big horse". But for Zhu Heji, a "big guy"
, it really matches well.
"Anu, can you still control the troops of the Prince of Shunyi? Tell me the truth, do they listen to Sebuten Baljuer's words, or do they listen to you?"
Emperor Zhu Da, who was waiting for his "long hair" to be fanned dry, casually asked about the military affairs of the Prince of Shunyi. If not counting Zhu Celing, the Khan of the Yin family, now all the Mongolian vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty had to give some of their tribes to the Sixth Army.
A close vassal king.
Although most of these Mongolian warriors did not dare to fight, Zhu Heji also had to prepare for the worst, so he asked this question.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the chain-armored musketeers of the Prince of Shunyi are all listening to me, and they are all under my control!" Anu's answer was very affirmative, "If anyone dares to disobey, there is no need for the court to send troops. I will lead the Prince of Shunyi.
