    In a sea area of ????the Malacca Strait in Nanyang, a huge fleet of more than a hundred large ships is heading towards Malacca on the sea.

    On the deck of one of the large ships, Liu Jin held several letters in his hand and read them carefully.

    The first letter came from the Ming Dynasty. Liu Jin had been on an expedition to Nanyang for several months. People from the Ming Dynasty came here almost every day to send Liu Jin news and convey things inside and outside the court.

    A major event has also happened in the Ming Dynasty recently. With the concerted efforts from both inside and outside the court, Emperor Hongzhi issued an imperial edict allowing the Ming Ocean Trading Company to have a certain degree of private armed forces.

    Although the imperial court subsequently issued a detailed Code of Arms Management for Ocean Trading Banks, the code stipulated in detail the number and types of weapons that ocean trading banks could possess, which had been regularly inspected and were not allowed to be brought into the Ming Dynasty, among other strict regulations.

    However, this still surprised Liu Jin.

    "Sure enough, profit is the source of motivation!"

    "If the interests of the officials from the north and the south were aligned, even Emperor Hongzhi would be deceived, and they would actually do it. The emperor would actually allow the emergence of private armed forces."

    Liu Jin couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.

    To be honest, although Liu Jin had such a plan, he wanted to persuade Emperor Hongzhi to open up private armed forces and allow major commercial banks to have certain armed forces overseas.

    But Liu Jin felt that he did not dare to mention this matter, because he was afraid that the emperor would remember it, and he might be imprisoned because of this matter that day.

    "Private armed forces, in all dynasties, have always wanted to rebel and usurp the throne and kill the nine tribes.

    Although Liu Jin knew very well that major commercial banks must have a certain amount of armed force, otherwise it would be difficult to quickly colonize and expand around the world.

    But Liu Jin was very cautious about this matter.

    But I didn¡¯t expect that just by mentioning it in Songhu, these people in the south could actually accomplish it. In just a few months, they actually convinced Emperor Hongzhi to issue such a law.

    As soon as this code came out, all the ocean trading firms in the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but cheer.

    They need this thing so much.

    In the past, it was better to go to North Korea and Japan. Pirates and bandits in these places were cleaned up and they were relatively safe. However, it is different when going to Nanyang.

    There are many islands in the Southeast Asia, hundreds of countries, large and small, and various forces are complicated. Pirates and bandits are numerous, and all large and small trading houses have been plundered by these pirates and bandits to a greater or lesser extent.

    At the same time, on the islands in Luzon, the plantations, gold mines, and silver mines developed by everyone are often attacked by the indigenous people, which makes the major trading companies troubled.

    Now, the imperial court allows them to have a certain number of private armed forces. With their own private armed forces, these merchants no longer have to be afraid of these things.

    There are many small countries in Nanyang. The countries are small, but the people are very arrogant and arrogant. They impose heavy taxes on the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, and even maliciously extort the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty.

    The major commercial banks have long wanted to teach them a lesson.

    "As soon as this code comes out, if things go on like this, it is very likely that a second Ming Dynasty will appear overseas."

    Next to Liu Jin, Wang Shouren couldn't help but said worriedly after reading it.

    He is a scholar of heaven and man, knowledgeable about the past and present, and he knows very well that once this code is published, and as time goes by, there may not be anything happening here in the Ming Dynasty, but overseas, there will definitely be people quietly establishing their own countries.

    Since ancient times, there have been many ambitious people in every dynasty.

    ?? Overseas, far away from the Ming Dynasty, major trading houses have their own merchant ships and their own armed forces. However, overseas, many places are desolate and inhabited. Even where there are people, most places are very backward.

    It doesn¡¯t take many people. Wang Shouren feels that even a few hundred people can establish his own power overseas.

    ??As far as Nanyang is concerned, there are too many large and small islands in Nanyang. There are even 70,000 or 80,000 people if there are not 100,000. Many countries are as small as just one island or a small city.

    Wang Shouren found it easy to establish his own power here.

    "Wang Shouren, do you think that these places overseas are not as advantageous to outsiders as they are to our own people? Even if some people establish their own countries overseas, that is a good thing, and I am a Ming citizen.?, they have sent people to capture some and prepare to transport them back to the capital to present to His Majesty.  "

    "In addition, the letter also mentioned that there are a large number of corals and pearls in the waters north of Europe. Perhaps this can be used to attract people to Australia."

    Liu Jin handed the letter to Wang Shouren. Australia is a land given by heaven. It has nothing and is rich in resources. Such a place must be occupied. In the future, whether it is used for sheep herding or mining, it is very difficult.  Not bad.

    Of course, Australia, this place, must seem to be a dull place at first. Most of the places are deserts. Only the southeastern coastal areas are not bad. There does not seem to be anything attractive.

    That¡¯s why Guo Ye wrote to Liu Jin and mentioned that there are corals and pearls in Australia. They rely on these two things to attract people to Australia and then develop Australia.

    Liu Jin, who came from a later generation, knew that Australia had a lot of iron ore, gold, and silver, but it was just difficult to find them in the vast desert.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
