What Yang Zhao said is also true. The gem and spice business on Ceylon Island is monopolized by the Middle East and Persians, and all gem sales must go through them.
There were businessmen from the Ming Dynasty who came to the Kingdom of Koti to buy gems at lower prices. Not only did they not receive the courtesy they deserved, but they were also maliciously extorted and blackmailed by the people of the Kingdom of Koti.
This made the Ming merchants very angry.
The Middle Easterners and Persians are both businessmen. They are very smart. They know that the Ming people like the gems here in Ceylon, so when the originally worthless things are in their hands, when they are sold to the Ming people, the price has increased a lot. times.
Although bringing back the Ming Dynasty is still very profitable, but we are all businessmen, who doesn¡¯t want to earn higher profits?
What's more, the truly top-quality gems are all in the hands of Persians and Middle Easterners, and they will not be sold to you easily. Even if they are sold to you, the price will be very high.
This has seriously damaged the interests of Ming merchants.
This is also an important reason why Hu Xian and the others chose Ceylon as their first target.
On the Western side, the interests of Ming merchants are not protected. People from many countries maliciously extort Ming merchants. They feel that the Ming people are easy to bully and are always afraid of right and wrong. In addition, this place is far away from the Ming Dynasty, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty lack merchant ships. Strong armed force.
??In the West, Ming businessmen are synonymous with being rich and easy to bully.
Because the Middle Easterners and Persians have always shown their teeth and claws, few people dare to cause trouble for them.
"this¡"
Hearing Yang Zhao¡¯s words, Vero suddenly didn¡¯t know how to answer.
He knows this.
People in the Ming Dynasty are weak and can be bullied. This is also everyone's consistent impression.
When Zheng He arrived on the island of Ceylon from his voyage to the West, the Sinhalese people coveted the wealth on the treasure ship and sent people to sneak attack Zheng He's fleet. As a result, Zheng He's two thousand men captured the royal capital and captured the king and many concubines. , princes and the like were captured by Ming Dynasty.
Logically speaking, this should let them know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, so that they dare not make things difficult or neglect the people of the Ming Dynasty.
But the truth is exactly the opposite, because Emperor Yongle took pity on the king. Not only did he not kill the king and his family, but he also fed and fed him, and finally followed the fleet back to the island of Ceylon.
This is simply unbelievable.
Because logically speaking, such a person should be killed cleanly.
But the Ming Dynasty repaid them with kindness and did not kill them. They even sent them back with good food and drink. This made the Sinhalese people on the island of Ceylon think that although the Ming Dynasty was powerful, it was as big as an elephant.
They are very gentle. As long as they don't really anger the elephant, they will be fine. Instead, they can ride on the elephant's head and dominate.
???????????????????? In the final analysis, it is still the simple truth, fear of power but not morality!
?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Unless I beat them hard enough to hurt them, they will not know how to be afraid.
They may even think that you are a good person, and good people are the targets of bullying, even though you are a great Ming Dynasty and are said to be very powerful.
But elephants are also big and powerful, but people are not afraid of elephants, only afraid of tigers and wolves.
??????On the one hand, people in the West and Southeast Asia are in awe of the Ming Dynasty court and pay tribute from time to time. On the other hand, they often try their best to extort Ming merchants.
Because they knew very well that the Ming court would not stand up for businessmen. The people of the Ming Dynasty were very happy with their achievements, which can be seen from the tribute.
Who knew that some kind of Ming-Western United Trading Company would appear now, and come over to question him so arrogantly?
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that you easily swept away the cities of the Middle East and Persians, Vero would have wanted to kill the Ming man in front of him right now.
"It's not that we don't want to sell gems to you Ming merchants, but the Middle East and Persians have united to force us not to sell gems and spices to anyone except them."
"As for the extortion of Ming merchants, this is definitely a misunderstanding. I will definitely find out and punish them severely."
After thinking about it, Vero also replied.
"This Ming Dynasty person has bad intentions, so it's better not to provoke him first."
They can easily capture the Lion City and Dhahran City, and naturally they can also easily capture the Galle City. He has also heard about the strong military force of the Ming Dynasty.
Listen??In Nanyang, the Ming Dynasty's army destroyed several countries one after another. Even a country as powerful as Siam was conquered by the Ming army and had to cede territory to pay compensation.
"Your Majesty, things cannot be understood so easily."
Yang Zhao seemed to have been prepared for it. He smiled and said, "We at the Western United Commercial Bank have several requirements. If you can meet them, everything will be easy to deal with."
"If you can't do it, then we'll fight and fight."
Hearing Yang Zhao¡¯s words, Vero couldn¡¯t help but frowned. Going to war with the Ming people?
This is something he has never thought about before. There is no doubt about the power of the Ming people. Their army is still here in Nanyang. When the time comes, sending a large army casually will be enough to destroy the Koti Kingdom. .
"Please tell me."
Willow¡¯s face looked ugly. If he was threatened like this, if he was young, he would definitely kill the person in front of him immediately.
"First, we, the Western United Trading Company, will replace the Persians and the Middle Easterners. From now on, the gems and spices on the island of Ceylon can only be sold to our Western United Trading House."
Yang Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said.
"There is no problem with this. Our gems and spices are sold to anyone anyway. Since you have defeated the Middle East and Persians, you can naturally take their place."
Regarding this item, Vero agreed readily.
"Article 2, with the Lion City and Dhahran City as the center, the surrounding area within a hundred miles belongs to the territory of our Western United Trading Company."
"Impossible, we absolutely cannot agree to this!"
As soon as Yang Zhao finished speaking, Wei Luo immediately expressed his objection loudly.
"Are you kidding? It's a hundred miles away. Think this is the Ming Dynasty. Ceylon Island is very small, okay?"
"The longest length from north to south is only more than 800 miles, and the widest distance from east to west is only 400 miles. If you open it to an area of ??100 miles, will the entire island of Ceylon be given to you?"
In the past, the Persians and Middle Easterners only occupied a little coastal area, and they would never say how much land they wanted to occupy at once.
"The Ming Dynasty's appetite is too big. They want as much land as they want. How will they survive in the future?"
"I suggest you think carefully before answering."
"Article 3: Your Koti Kingdom must compensate our Western United Commercial Bank for the loss of 10 million taels of silver used to cover up our Ming merchants."
Yang Zhao smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't agree. If you don't agree, things will be easier to do later. If you really do agree, it won't be easy to attack you for a while."
"A loss of ten million taels of silver?"
When Wei Luo heard this, he couldn't help being dumbfounded. Is this a Ming Dynasty person?
I¡¯m afraid the person in front of me is crazy. Several people came to their capital and even opened their mouths to ask for their own land and gold and silver. Is this a joke?
"Are you crazy?"
Vero laughed, really laughed.
Are these Ming people crazy?
"It seems you are not ready to agree to our request?"
Yang Zhao looked at Wei Luo very seriously and said.
"Do you believe that I will kill you now?"
Wei Luo immediately became angry, looked at Yang Zhao and said coldly.
"You can kill me now, but our Western United Trading Company's army will come soon, and the entire Galle City will definitely be buried with me. Do you believe it or not?"
"To tell you the truth, the Persians in Lion City and the Middle Easterners in Dhahran asked us to be sent to Nanyang as slaves. If you don't agree to our request, we will also send you to Nanyang as slaves."
Yang Zhao said very domineeringly, without any fear.
"Okay, very good~"
"I now doubt whether you are from Ming Dynasty."
"The people of Ming Dynasty have always been modest and polite, but you are like tigers and wolves."
"I really want to see how you turned us into slaves and sent us to Nanyang."
When Vero heard this, he immediately laughed.
¡°Don¡¯t these Ming people really think that by defeating the Persians and Middle Easterners, they can defeat the Sinhalese people?
The number of Sinhalese people on the island is dozens of times that of Persians and Middle Easterners. Their Koti Kingdom also has a powerful army, which is definitely not scary.
"That's good~"
"I'll take my leave now. I hope you can be as tough as you are now when I come next time."
When Yang Zhao saw it, he immediately smiled and walked away after thinking about it.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Seeing Yang Zhao and others leaving, Wei Luo looked very ugly.
The Ming people came, but they had a different face, a face that made them feel extremely scared.
They want land, money, their gems and spices, and they are still like robbers, just coming to rob them, and forget about it. This person hasn't come over yet.
He actually sent someone over to make demands on himself. Is this too confident?
ps: Well, we Chinese are almost like this internationally now~ (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)When Yang Zhao saw it, he immediately smiled and walked away after thinking about it.
