Historically, the early colonial activities of Europeans were often carried out by a few ships and hundreds of people. However, such a seemingly weak team was very successful in colonizing the colony in a short period of time. Spread all over the world and gained huge wealth all over the world.
This is worth learning.
If the Ming Dynasty can be like them, then this colonial activity can expand rapidly and develop rapidly.
If all colonies were developed by the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely not be enough, and there would be no way to quickly spread them all over the world.
A long time ago, Liu Jin had the idea to form colonial groups of various sizes, mainly large and small commercial banks, to carry out colonial activities around the world.
But there is a premise for this, that is, these trading houses must have a certain amount of armed force, just like Tianjin Ocean Trading House.
He has his own ship, his own cannon, and he can even be armed to the teeth. This is why Tian Erniu can conquer the Aztec Kingdom, because he has guns and cannons in his hands, and he is strong.
But other trading houses, outside of the sea, have swords and armor, and it is impossible to own artillery and muskets, because the higher ups will not allow it.
Tianjin Ocean Trading Company has a special situation. Its largest shareholders are the emperor and the prince, plus the general Xungui Group, so it can obtain muskets and artillery.
He has always been a pioneer in Ming Dynasty¡¯s overseas colonization.
"Mr. Liu, the imperial court does not allow civilians to set up private armed forces, let alone own muskets and cannons. If we only rely on swords, it will be difficult for us to develop colonies."
Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone began to think deeply again. After thinking about it for a while, Hu Xian said.
"The imperial court just did not allow private armed forces to be established within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, because after all, this is a major matter related to the country, the country, and the country."
"But it's different overseas. Overseas is a barbarian land. If our businessmen don't have their own armed forces, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and they will be bullied wantonly?"
"If our merchant ships have guns and cannons, and our crews have armors and swords, we don't have to be afraid even if we encounter pirates or bandits."
Liu Jin nodded slightly, this is indeed a problem, and it is also a problem Liu Jin wants to solve.
"Now times have changed. Our Ming Dynasty has huge interests overseas, and the imperial army cannot take care of all aspects. Therefore, it is actually necessary for major commercial banks to also have a certain small-scale armed force, so that everyone can better When colonizing overseas, you can also protect yourself.¡±
"Do you think so, everyone?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Liu is right~"
"If our merchant ships can have muskets and cannons, we don't have to be afraid of pirates and bandits, let alone those small countries in Southeast Asia."
"Many of those small countries in Southeast Asia are very small. They are just a city, occupying an island. They are very weak and very small. However, they are still arrogant and do not know how high the sky is."
"As long as our trading company has dozens of guns and a dozen artillery pieces, it will be enough to teach them a lesson, and there will be no need for my Ming Dynasty's heavenly army to dispatch."
When the others heard this, they nodded immediately. This was something they felt deeply in their hearts.
"It's better to wait for the court to make the decision for you than to make the decision for yourself. The merchant ships under my own have a certain degree of force, so they are like crabs, the kind that can go sideways.
"Will the court allow us?"
Zhang Yuan thought for a while and asked.
"This is nothing more than a licensing issue. As long as His Majesty and the princes of the DPRK and China agree, relevant laws and regulations will be issued to specify in detail the size and quantity of the armed forces, the number of artillery and muskets, the places where they are used, and regular inspections, etc. Etc., I think it¡¯s not a big problem.¡±
Hu Xian said very confidently.
He has been a royal censor, and he knows very well whether it is allowed or not, whether it is legal or not, it is nothing more than the above sentence. As long as the emperor and the princes in the court say that you are legal, you are legal.
They say you are breaking the law. Even if you are not breaking the law, you are still breaking the law.
"We are not going to rebel. We are just going overseas to open up more colonies and open up territory for our Ming Dynasty. We have made money from these colonies."
¡°We also have to pay taxes to the court, and when the time comes, we will include His Majesty¡¯s share.?No more questions. "
Hu Xian was very excited. After hearing Liu Jin's words, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly saw rolling gold and silver coming towards him.
??The jade in Myanmar is very famous. The jade produced in Myanmar has been famous since ancient times. In the past, Myanmar would often pay tribute to the Emperor of Heaven. The jade in Myanmar is even better than the jade in Hotan in the Western Regions.
¡° If we can occupy a colony in Myanmar and own a jade mine here, it will really be a mountain of gold and silver.
Hearing Hu Xian¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up and they couldn¡¯t help but nod their heads.
Liu Jin smiled immediately when he saw their looks. This was the effect he wanted.
The major trading houses in the north have actually had this intention for a long time. When the major trading houses are out, they always feel that they are not strong enough. When they encounter pirates and thieves, they always feel very scared.
Therefore, the ships of major trading companies going out to sea will basically wear swords, bows and arrows, etc., mainly to prevent encountering pirates and bandits.
But this is not enough. Swords are not as powerful as muskets and cannons. Many merchants want to buy muskets and cannons to put on their ships, so that they can be more deterrent and feel more confident when encountering pirates and bandits.
However, this aspect is within the restricted area of ??the imperial court.
Swords and armor are already illegal in themselves. The court does not allow private ownership of these things, but they always turn a blind eye to them, like escort agencies or horse and carriage agencies.
How can you do anything without a little bit of trouble when you are away from home?
"But these muskets and artillery were so powerful that the court's control was very strict."
But overseas, it seems impossible without these things.
The reason why no one proposed it was that Liu Jin was mainly worried about the objections of these people in the south. Now that they have proposed it, if they can be supported, then the problem lies with Emperor Hongzhi.
Since ancient times, all dynasties have had extremely strict control over weapons and armor. Anyone who makes weapons and armor privately must be beheaded. In fact, it is mainly to prevent someone from rebelling and usurping power.
But, what should I say? If the people in the world live well, no one will rebel even if every household has a sword. But if everyone is in dire straits, even a kitchen knife will overthrow your rule.
??The Yuan Dynasty strictly restricted the Han people from owning iron tools. Only a few households could use one kitchen knife. But wasn't the Yuan Dynasty overthrown?
The bald eagles of later generations have guns in every household, but the bald eagle is the only superpower on earth.
When looking at something, you still have to look at it from multiple aspects.
"Yes, yes, we are not rebelling. We are just trying to protect ourselves. We don't need many guns or artillery. A few hundred guns and a few artillery are enough."
"In overseas places, it is not our Ming Dynasty, but it is also for our Ming Dynasty."
The others also nodded.
Seeing their looks, Liu Jin smiled.
If we can really be like the Europeans in history, then this colony will bloom everywhere quickly.
When they taste the sweetness, they will not be as gentle and gentle as they are now, but will become colonial giants with their bloody mouths open.
Liu Jin is not even worried about whether these trading houses will establish independent countries overseas after they have armed forces, or whether they will return to the Ming Dynasty to rebel.
The world is too big. It doesn¡¯t seem to matter if there are more countries established by the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. It is better than being occupied by white-skinned pigs.
Moreover, Liu Jin is still thinking about how to drive out the vampire princes surnamed Zhu of Ming Dynasty. Then he can refer to this model and let these princes surnamed Zhu go overseas by themselves and have their own armed forces. It doesn't matter whether you build your own colony or your own country.
Anyway, it¡¯s okay, as long as you don¡¯t continue to suck Ming¡¯s blood. When you go overseas, you can do whatever you want, but it¡¯s not Ming¡¯s territory anyway.
"It would be better for them to build a country. They will inevitably attract a large number of descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties to go overseas, and they are all from the Ming Dynasty. The large and small countries they establish are still the countries of the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties.
The Empire on which the sun never sets in later generations is like this. Countries such as Uncle Sam, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada have escaped the control of the Empire on which the sun never sets.
But they are all still the descendants of the people of the Empire on which the sun never sets. They are also as close as brothers. It¡¯s just that John Bull was the boss before and was replaced by the bald eagle later, but they are still a family.
It would also be good if these princes of the Ming Dynasty established their country overseas. Maybe there will be some kind of Earth Society in a few hundred years. When everyone takes a look, they are all members of their old Zhu family. This is also good. of.
It is better to take advantage of your own people than to take advantage of outsiders. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)But we are still a family.
