The Southern Ming was busy with a small country and a small population, while the Northern Ming was busy fighting for the rage.

This year, Hangzhou is not sure whether it is lucky or unlucky. Everything is related to it. It is finally winter. The north is covered with snow, and the south of the Yangtze River is also trembling coldly. In previous years, everyone hid at home and hugged their little wife and sang songs with their songs. But this year, it has not stopped until now.

There are actually many wars initiated by the Chinese people, such as the Qihuo Army of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Dashun Army in front of them. However, the war between the people and the guns of the guns to fight foreign devils is the first time. The first time, the Ming Dynasty's capitalist war on the expansion of foreign capitalism is simply cross-generational significance!

In order to support the war, Mao Jue also showed the green light from various items. Yin Shu came to a clearance sale at shipyards in Tieshan, Lutun Island, Lushun Dandong and other places, and was equipped with 20% off. They were all equipped with cannons, with the level of sophistication that was close to the Imperial Royal Navy. This was something that I didn't even dare to think about before. Many ship owners in Jiangnan took the opportunity to change cannons.

During the Little Ice Age, it also snowed in Hangzhou, but the snow here could not fall, and it would only make annoying wet layer on people. However, the yelling sounds and the body was steaming. After a while, the snow water turned into sweat and steamed out. The hot sweat even formed a cloud of mist in Hangzhou Bay.

Standing on the newly built cement lighthouse at the port, wearing a fox fur hat and wearing this furry coat, Mao Jue looked like Guo Jing and Yang Kang in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, looking at the sea of ​​ships under him.

There are three first-class battleships, seventy-eight second-class sailing ships, and one hundred and fifty-sixty third-class gunboats. These are now comparable to the Spanish invincible fleet.

More importantly, it didn’t cost the court a penny!

What did Britain rely on? Pirates! Frances Drake, the first person to travel around the world, was a pirate, and James Lancaster, the first person to sail in the East India Company, was also a pirate. In the Victorian era, Britain obtained as much as 12 million pounds through pirate activities. You should know that even now, the total national income of Britain is only 43 million pounds.

Looking at these big sharks that were about to go out to sea, Mao Jue seemed to see the next Caribbean Sea, the next Blackbeard, the next Pirate Prince Blacksam, the next Captain Jack Sparrow, uh...

Forget it, that funny guy doesn't want it. Anyway, Mao Jue is ambitious and is preparing to issue a privateer certificate to turn the intersection of the world of Malacca into a pirate paradise.

However, compared to his ambitiousness, even Song Xiance, the Minister of Rites who had always supported him, was still a little frowning at this time.

"Master Jiang, you're really a big deal! The capital is in full swing. Lord Fan, Master Shen, and Master Sun couldn't help but write a letter and ask me to bring you here."

"These are all pirates! You gave them all the equipment of the Ming Navy. I also feel that you are too unconsidered this time. If there is a recurrence in the future, it will be a recurrence of the Japanese turmoil during the Jiajing period! No! The Japanese pirates have no cannons yet. If these guys rebel, they will be much more terrifying than the Japanese pirates!"

"And I heard that you also want to give them the right to establish an official overseas! Isn't this the source of rebellion?"

Why was Zheng He's voyage to the West stopped? It was not about labor and labor, but about checks and balances of power! Tens of thousands of fleets floated on the sea, like a country, and the court was unable to check and balance. Even Zheng He, a eunuch who had no balls, was so suspicious by the literati, not to mention that Mao Jue actually gave the weight to a group of pirates. While speaking, Song Xiance also showed a palpitations.

However, when it comes to this, Mao Jue asked indifferently.

"Why did they rebel?"

"This group of guys are doing business, I'm shipping them, these bastards robbed, I'm selling stolen goods, and even these guys are founding a country overseas, I'm welcomed them, and I have to beat drums and gongs to win the title, relying on the Ming Dynasty, they are giants. If they dare to betray the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't even have a place to spend money and enjoy themselves, why should they rebel?"

"Actually, what you are uncomfortable with is not the safety of rebellion, but the fact that a group of thieves are actually doing better than you, and they crawled onto Guan'er's head!"

"Master, minister..."

"It should not be distinguished. Even if you are unhappy, I still have to continue doing this. Lao Song, let me ask you, since the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, China has not really expanded its territory for many years? Even if I walked thousands of kilometers northward, it still did not exceed the territory of the Beiyuan period. Now our registered registered population in Beiming is more than 50 million, plus more than 130 million in Jiangnan. Some towns in Jiangnan have already squeezed out the poor and have no place to stand. Now it is in chaos. After more than a hundred years, the population will reach 200 million, 300 million, and 400 million, what should I do?"

"I'm driving out many Li Zicheng out of my mind. I'm spending some time to expand my living space by myself. I'm far-sighted. You are all short-sighted."

"Jiang Ye..., what you said!"

After Sun Chuanting, Song Xiance was the second to defeat Mao Jue, but this guy is not as gentleman as Sun Chuanting. After being choked for a few seconds, his big head showed a cunning smile again: "But what you said, you are talking to the ministers, but there are still thousands of civil and military officials in the court! Everyone is holding memorials to persuade Your Highness, and even the enlightened little emperor is a little ready to move, secretly saying to a few Hanlins that the Regent is really a mess."

"How to clean up the situation, you have to make your own decisions!"

Not to mention, when Mao Jue's scalp was numb when he thought of the dense courtiers' heads facing the ground and his butts were kowtowing there, he really felt numb. After sending Song Xiance away, he looked at Adrena with her round waist, and asked sadly: "Where are Le'er and Chiyoji and the others? I need it urgently!"

However, seeing Mao Jue's anxious look, Adrena obviously had a wrong idea. She couldn't help rolling her eyes wide and hummed with a sore voice: "I've just been pregnant for a few days?"

"A horny smelly man!"

.........

There was a strange phenomenon in later generations. The eldest and the second brother fought, and the third brother was in trouble. Just like Jiaduobao and Wanglaoji, they were in a bad mood. Pepsi and Coca-Cola fought, which was very ugly. At the end of September, the Spanish in Manila in Luzon lost their hearts and slaughtered more than 20,000 local Chinese, and seized several cargo ships from the East India Company and killed more than 30 shopkeepers. The shareholders' meeting, which was already angry, raised five million taels of military pay and formed a joint army of more than 60,000 people. The first target to advance was not Luzon, but Taiwan.

The Dutch in Jelancha City, Tainan was in trouble first.

The reason is very simple. Even if the ships and naval battles are still needed, the Qiongzhou, Hainan, which Mao Jue ceded, is further south of Taiwan. It is still famous for being barren and exiled to prisoners. Hainan Province in later generations was not known for its economy. If it was used as a springboard to attack Luzon Manila and walk the Zhenghe line on the Indochina Peninsula, the front line would have to be doubled.

But if you take back the outer island chain Taiwan treasure island and walk south and go out.

Moreover, there are more than the Dutch family here. In Keelung, Taipei, the Spanish also built a trade base.

However, compared with the overwhelming East India Company fleet, the Spanish who were only four or five hundred in Keelung's stronghold, they dared to resist. He heard the news and fled directly. On November 16, the East India Company fleet departed from Hangzhou occupied Taipei, and then they divided into two groups, taking over the place and occupying the main road. On December 18, the waterway army came from Luermen Bay, blocking the Dutch Taiwan Governor's Mansion, Jelan Cham.

...........

"Aren't you Chinese the most honest? The Dutch East India Company has good business with Dongjiang for so many years, and the Dutch merchants have brought a lot of wealth to the Regent, but when you look back, you actually attack us. You are even more treasonous than the natives in the Pacific!"

He was so angry that he stood on the flagship Yunlong of the East India Company fleet. The old face of Sir Nam Shitin, the envoy of the Dutch Governor Vanderbilt, was red, like a red-haired monkey. His tone also changed from a standard Nanjing Mandarin to a translator, jumping up and down, roaring.

In this battle, the nominal deputy general manager of the company, Zheng Zhilong was the head coach, but in fact, Mao Jue was really worried that these pirates in the South China Sea would "eliminate" a squadron from the Imperial Navy. Yuan Dabao, who had to retire due to his leg disability, became Zheng Zhilong's military adviser. Two regiments of army and one regiment of naval army joined the war.

Sitting under the sail, Zheng Zhilong was in a straight and handsome manner, and he kept his attitude and said nothing. Hearing the red monkey roaring, covering his one-eye, teasing Mao Jue on his shoulder for some reason, he insisted on giving it to him before going to war, Yuan Dabao hummed impatiently.

"Breachful? You Dutch and the Spanish have always worn a pair of pants! This time the Spanish massacred our Ming Chinese in Manila, and survivors saw your Dutch warships participating with their own eyes. You are so brave that you attacked me first!"

"So, for the years of friendship between the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands, you let the switches and let the official army go to the city to search, and after catching the murderer identified by the survivor, our army retreated immediately. How about it?"

"Go into the city to catch people?"
