The news of Aceh being destroyed by the Southern Expedition Army had just been returned, and then the Spanish fleet was sent one after another, which greatly encouraged the people of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Once upon a time, they were still trapped in the south and north, but there had been a huge change in just over a decade. They not only had an invincible land force, but also had a navy that could easily wipe out the Spanish invincible fleet.

.

It was also at this moment that they truly realized that Damingshi had become extremely powerful, and China ushered in a period of its strongest prosperity.

Although they don’t know what the prosperous era in history books looks like, now they pay the lightest taxes and earn the most money, which is already considered the prosperous era of Baili.

"Why did I sell it?"

"No matter how strong Spain is, can they be stronger than our Ming army?"

"Those damn old dogs bark everywhere again, causing my stock to be sold!"

...

As the news came one after another, the stocks of the three major exchanges rose sharply. When pessimism came, many people abandoned their stocks, but now they regretted it.

Many people were bleeding when they saw the rising stock prices, but they all gave themselves a loud slap in the face.

Some people are happy and some are sad, which has long become a law in society.

"Sir Lin is planning and then acting. You are so scared when you hear Spain!"

"Have you ever read the military books? Master Lin's plan is to lure the enemy into deep and catch them all in one go!"

"The main reason is that you lack confidence in the court and Prince Lin, but you can't blame anyone for the loss this time!"

...

The public opinion in the Ming Dynasty changed by 180 degrees, especially those who successfully bought the bottom line, as if they were hindsight, but proudly expressed their opinions.

This is also true. Although the Ming Dynasty's handling of Xitonghao affairs was relatively weak, the court has never made a final statement on the Xitonghao incident, and any tactical deployment will take time.

But these people were too affected by market panic and sold their stocks at a low price before things were clear.

Even if they have more confidence in Daming and Lin Qingran, as long as they wait patiently for a while, they will not suffer losses due to panic in the market and selling their stocks.

What is even more unexpected is that after the stock market recovered its lost territory, a surge in the market occurred.

The Ming Dynasty wiped out the Spanish fleet so easily. With Lin Yuran's emphasis on opening the sea, the court will surely clear the obstacles for their maritime merchants and thus open up a broader market.

Although the Ming Dynasty has always been bounded to a certain extent to the American continent and to the European continent.

Since the Ming Dynasty and Portugal have maintained a good trade partnership over the years, the Ming Dynasty court took into account the interests of Portugal and not only did it not allow Ming merchants to directly sell Nanyang spices in Europe, but also limited the number of Ming merchant ships and commodities.

However, now Portugal is annexed by Spain, and it is rumored that the Governor of Goa from Portugal has provided 2,000 Indians to the Spanish fleet this time, so the Ming Dynasty naturally no longer needs to take into account Portugal's feelings.

It is precisely because their Ming merchant ships were no longer restricted by the relationship between Ming and Portugal. They could not only dump goods into Europe in a comprehensive manner, but also engage in spice trade.

As for the American continent, the business environment there is also poor. Spain and Portugal have been entrenched there for many years, but now the Ming Dynasty merchant ships rashly break into it, and friction will inevitably arise.

Not long ago, when Zhao Dadan's Golden was heading to the Peru Governor's District, he was ambushed by the Spanish fleet, and the Golden was almost buried in the sea.

Now that the court issued a manifesto to Spain, it would definitely not allow the Ming merchant ships to continue to be in danger. With the style of Prime Minister Lin Qingran, the always-off behavior, not only will it ensure the safety of the Ming merchant ships, but it will also try to open up the American market for them.

You should know that among many tribes in the American market, they not only own a large amount of fur, but also countless gold, but they are very ideal trade targets.

It is in this safer and broader market expectation that the stocks of many fleets, trading companies and shipbuilding companies on the three major exchanges rose sharply, and the joint shipbuilding company with the highest market value led the market to set a record high.

"I believe in the court, I believe in Xiangye Lin, I will buy it!"

"No one can stop my Ming Dynasty from rising, I'm all going to rush!"

"Stop talking, I bet on our country's destiny in the Ming Dynasty, and I bought all 100 silver dollars!"

...

Ming Dynasty investors have become very crazy, especially their optimism about future market expectations, and they are more convinced of Lin Shiran's ability to govern the country, so they invest their savings in the stock market.

Different from the stock markets of later generations, the money raised is invested in shipbuilding and navigation industries, allowing them to enjoy the dividends of opening up the sea, thus having a great opportunity to make excess returns.

Before we knew it, almost all the people of the Ming Dynasty were tied to Lin Yanran's naval chariot. If anyone still wanted to close the country now, they would definitely be attacked by groups.

Capital, Imperial Garden of Forbidden City.

A rain just now moistened the rare grass all over the garden. The gravel road was spotlessly washed, and the rockery next to it looked strange, while several pavilions with different styles were located during the period.

Lin Qingran sat in the rain pavilion, holding a black chess piece in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he gently landed the black chess piece on the chessboard.

Although he had known that the war would be the result, he could not help but feel excited when he learned that the Ming Navy had completely wiped out the Spanish fleet.

Gu Yan

Economic development cannot be separated from military escort. Now, the Ming Navy was able to annihilate the Spanish fleet so easily, and the quality of the navy has been fully verified.

After this battle, no one in the world will dare to plot the spice trade belonging to the Ming Dynasty. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will become the only distributor of spices in Nanyang.

This severe damage to the Spanish fleet is of great significance. It not only accelerates the decline of the world overlord Spain, but also proves its strength to the world with practical actions.

Having such a powerful naval force, let alone escort the development of maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty, even if it wants to conquer the whole world, there is already enough capital.

Of course, he could not become arrogant because of this achievement. After all, the Ming Navy still has a long way to go without going through the trial of the expedition.

"Earlier, the Ai family was always worried about the war, but they didn't expect to wipe out the Spanish fleet so quickly. It was really amazing!" Empress Dowager Chen still couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion when she learned the results of the battle.

She changed her grand dress and lost her jewelry on her head. She only had a jade hairpin stuck to her black hairpin, but she did not hide her noble temperament.

Her skin is delicate and fair, and her eyebrows are thick and slender. Combined with her high nose bridge and agile eyes, she has a proud and peerless queen image.

But at this moment she was not aggressive. Her charming eyes were already showing a bit of emotion like flowers that grew towards the sun.

She was wearing a red embroidered palace outfit today, with the outline of the inner strapless breast that was disgusting, and the silk dress made of mopping floors looked noble and charming.

Such an image does not look like the noble empress dowager of the dynasty, but more like the noble lady of a certain family. She is playing chess with the handsome husband in front of her.

Lin Xuran looked up at Empress Dowager Chen, and said confidently: "If you eat this victory at your doorstep, the outcome is already expected. You should not reward the generals of the Navy too much this time!"

"Although I have been in the capital, I know that Spain is the strongest naval fleet in the world today. Our Ming Navy defeated the Spanish fleet this time. Why can't we reward them more?" Empress Dowager Chen tilted her hanging bangs and was curious.

asked like a woman.

Seeing that she had no choice, Lin Xuran picked up the teacup next to her and said, "Relying on the greatness of the country, prides itself on the people, those who want to see the power of the enemy are called arrogant soldiers, and those who are arrogant will be destroyed! Now the navy can defeat Spain.

The fleet is a good time, place, and people, and the power of firearms. Our navy wants to be invincible in the sea, and we are afraid of being arrogant when we serve as soldiers, and seek advancement for weapons!"

"You always talk to you one by one! But what you said is indeed reasonable. The power of the firearm is really amazing. It is not worthy of being better than the Spanish fleet now, so as not to give too much reward, so as not to become arrogant!"

He looked at Lin Weiran with a smile, and nodded gently.

Lin Weiran took a sip of tea and continued his opinion: "The essence of naval battle is a comparison of warships and firearm skills. Next, the Ministry of War will continue to improve technology and must keep these two technologies ahead of the world, so that we can keep us.

Maritime trade will not be interrupted by external forces!”

"It has always been rumored that you are the Wenqu star in the world, and you don't know whether it is true or false?" Empress Dowager Chen looked at Lin Weiran who was talking, but asked with her lips pursed.

Lin Qingran glared at her angrily, but said with emotion: "It's a pity that it's not the God of Wealth to come down to earth! Now that the court's expenses are increasing, it's time for us to increase our income!"

"I think you are also a God of Wealth! According to your style, it is impossible to collect taxes from the people. I guess he wants to get money from overseas, but that's the case?" Empress Dowager Chen knew that Lin Shiran loved the people as much as his son, but she guessed with a smile.

.

Lin Weiran held the teacup in his hand and nodded gently, "Not bad! Since Spain is planning to spices from Southeast Asia and we have severely damaged the Spanish fleet, we don't have to be too polite. We can start the east expedition now!

”

"Eastern Expedition? Isn't Spain to the west of us?" Empress Dowager Chen grabbed a white piece with her jade finger, but she couldn't help but look up in a slight shock.

Lin Weiran took a sip of tea, and his eyes flashed with a sly smile and said: "Spain is just a barren land. How can he hit the base of his base be affordable? They have found many large gold and silver mines in the Americas!"

The reason why Spain is so powerful is that in addition to making huge profits through maritime trade, it is more important that they discovered large gold and silver mines in the Americas.

It is precisely thanks to this discovery that the Spanish kings can build luxurious palaces, hold luxurious palace parties, gourmet clothes, etc., and become the most prosperous king in Europe.

In fact, Spain has opened up the secret treasures of the world. From this period to the end of the 16th century, Spain occupied 83% of its gold and silver production, bringing back 200 tons of gold and 18,600 tons of silver from the Americas.

But now Lin Xuran plans to make the Spanish king a little bit more disturbed. Since he dares to come and make spices and the Ming Dynasty, he naturally has to fight back and rewrite the historical direction of this world secret treasure.

"That's how you are. You always want to take advantage of others. Whoever... dares to take advantage of them!" Empress Chen left a white boy and glanced at him with a thoughtful look in her words.

Lin Junran saw that this move was not very good, but he deliberately let the water down and said, "In the country, I should make more plans and think about making profits for the people! But personally, I don't care about gains and losses.

It's completely straightforward!”

Empress Dowager Chen blushed and looked glaring at Lin Weiran with her eyes in her eyes.

The Ming Dynasty has entered the best era. Although Empress Dowager Chen is nominally in charge of the affairs, she obeys Lin Shiran in essence and strives to maintain Lin Shiran's authority.

With his vision that transcends the times and his demonic ability to govern the country, Lin Xuran not only created a prosperous scene for the Ming Dynasty, but also led China to the top of the world.

The war in Nanyang ended, and the pattern in the East immediately changed.

After the Ming Navy wiped out the Spanish fleet, it first cleared the battlefield in the South Ocean and then headed west. In addition to taking over the management of the Strait of Malacca from the Nanxing Army, the Navy went to the Goa Xingshi in India to question the crime.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty has been getting along well with Portugal for so many years is not only because of the common benefit of the South Asian spices, but also because they have the common enemy of Spain.

But now Portugal is in the hands of Spain, but the Governor of Goa also helped the Spanish fleet to conquer the Ming Dynasty. What reason does the Ming Dynasty have to allow Portugal to occupy the East again?

That's why after Lin Dahu defeated the Spanish fleet, he decided to attack Portugal stationed in Goa.

The Governor of Goa first learned that the Spanish invincible fleet was completely wiped out by the Ming Navy. Now, when he learned that the Ming Navy was coming here, he immediately chose to flee in a panic.

In the face of life and death, the little Goa has become worthless. The most important thing is that it is okay to bully the Indians with this garrison above Goa, but there is only a dead end to the powerful Ming navy.

The Ming Navy did not pursue the Portuguese fleet. After receiving the Spanish base in Goa, it planned to establish a naval Indian branch here, which was considered to have fully opened up the Indian market for the Ming merchants.
