Chapter 169 Zhu Hans Strategy of Going to the West(2/2)

Zhu Han couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the news.

He only casually mentioned toilet water to Hu Wenhu and other imperial doctors before, without explaining any specific production process.

They never expected that they would use their ingenuity and make toilet water so quickly.

After Hu Wenhu and others brought the finished toilet water, Zhu Han immediately praised it when he smelled it!

Because this kind of toilet water has a more mellow aroma than the later Liushen and Yashen.

"Your Highness, I ordered forty-three herbs to be used in it. It is not only refreshing, but also fragrant. When mosquitoes are rampant, just two drops can repel mosquitoes." Hu Wenhu said next to him.

"Good stuff, this is really good stuff! But the packaging needs to be improved. It can't be placed in such a small porcelain bottle!" Zhu Han looked at the toilet water in his hand and continued, "Mark what I said. When the time comes,

I asked the glass workshop to make some small transparent glass bottles specially used to hold this toilet water!"

"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"

"I want Daming's toilet water to be sold all over the world through sea trade! At the very least, I want to earn back the cost of the Nanyang medicinal materials in the cooling oil with toilet water."

After such a long period of maritime trade, Ming Dynasty has trained a large number of professional navigation talents.

Especially after the fleet of Hu Dahai, the Blackwater Protectorate, disappeared.

Zhu Han even strictly ordered all municipal shipping departments and naval forces to strengthen the prevention of storm disasters.

Now the Ming Navy is familiar with the monsoon hydrology conditions in the Nanyang area.

Zhu Han's plan to sail to the West has been officially put on the agenda.

The targets of the voyages to the Western Ocean were not only the small countries in various parts of Southeast Asia, but also the Persians, Arabs and Asan in the farther Western Ocean.

In those places, there must be a lot of trade demand.

Toilet water not only smells good, but also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and refreshing the mind. It will definitely be very popular in the West.

Zhu Han's strategy of going to the West was basically divided into three steps.

The first step was to open up the various small vassal countries in the Nanyang area and establish the image of the Ming suzerainty locally, and then acquire some land close to the coast to establish the Ming Navy's supply base and ports.

Then use these Nanyang vassal states as bases, cross the Strait of Malacca and head west to Bangladesh, India, Ceylon and other places. Next, you can officially enter the Western border.

After establishing solid trading bases in these places.

Then continue westward to the east coast of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Persia and other places.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty will have developed a truly powerful Ming Navy that can traverse the four seas.

Zhu Han's three-step strategy of going to the West was fundamentally different from Zheng He's historical voyages to the West.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In history, Zheng He's voyages to the West, although there were large-scale economic and trade exchanges, the main purpose was to promote the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. In many places, it was because of the consideration of great powers.

Face and economic benefits that should have been easily obtained have been abandoned.

Its purpose... is naturally to win over the small local countries to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Han set the primary goal of this voyage to the West as profit first!

That’s right, profit comes first!

Sea trade requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and there must be a huge driving force so that people can willingly overcome the huge waves and sail to the distant depths of the sea!

Otherwise, if there is no profit motive, this sea trade will be gradually abandoned in a short time.

On the rough sea, several warships are plowing through the waves!

Hu Dahai stood in front of the battleship, looking at the vast sea in the distance, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

Hu Dahai's fleet drifted thousands of miles in a storm a year ago and landed on a strange continent.

Now we have finally passed the most dangerous moment and finally arrived close to the coast.

Although there are big winds and waves here, Hu Dahai, relying on his many years of sailing experience, knows that he will see land soon!

Because there are many seagulls on the sea!

They rise and fall on the sea.

Hu Dahai knew that the land was not far away.

Before that, after staying on that mysterious continent for several months, Hu Dahai and the others first killed some hostile savages, and then they harvested some obedient savage slaves and replenished some supplies.

After being fully prepared, Hu Dahai ordered a few people and a boat to stay and established a local stronghold.

Afterwards, Hu Dahai led the rest of his soldiers and took the battleship back to the Ming Dynasty along the original route!

Now, seeing the seagulls rising and falling on the sea, not only Hu Dahai, but also everyone else burst into cheers!

They all knew it must be close to land!

Although I don’t know whether it is the territory of the Blackwater Protectorate or the territory of the Japanese people.
