Tang Mo immediately issued an imperial edict, ordering the Ministry of Works to start developing tanks. Tang Mo designed a sketch with his own wisdom. Tang Mo didn't know whether this sketch could create a real tank. This required subsequent research by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works to conduct research. Only after research can we determine whether the tank can be really developed.

Tang Mo knew the power of a tank well. Once developed, it would inevitably become a powerful weapon of war. This shows the importance of a tank, so it is inevitable to develop a tank.

When the tank is developed, you will immediately become the king of land warfare.

The combat power of the tank is extremely powerful, equal to a mobile turret and a moving fire fortress.

Such a mobile fortress can be said to be the most powerful pillar of an empire, so Tang Mo must study tanks. Only by studying tanks can the Ming Dynasty have super weapons that can compete for power on land.

After receiving Tang Mo's imperial edict, the Ministry of Works began to develop tanks. The tanks developed by the Ministry of Works almost immediately entered the design stage. With Tang Mo's drawings in front of it, all the officials of the Ministry of Works needed to do was to debate theoretically whether the drawings could be actually made, and if they could, how to make them. If not, how to improve them to make them. These are things that the Ministry of Works needed to actually operate.

A few more days later, Jin Feiyan asked again to open a foreign market and sell his own cloth.

Tang Mo finally made up his mind to take action against neighboring countries first. The first place where Tang Mo decided to dump cotton was Goryeo. Goryeo has not yet been renamed North Korea, and it is also one of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

Tang Mo first sent an envoy to Goryeo to discuss the opening of customs and exchange what happened. The envoy sent by Tang Mo was a female official who knew how to observe words and expressions and was very polite. After the female official entered Goryeo, she met the emperor of Goryeo. After some praise, the Emperor of Goryeo believed in the opening of customs. She really thought that the Ming Dynasty wanted to help them get rid of poverty and become rich, so she agreed to the female official's request.

More than ten days later, the two parties completed negotiations and formally decided to open the customs and allow both parties to sell cloth and other goods to each other.

In the description of the female official, the Goryeo people could sell their excess seafood and trees to the Ming Dynasty, and then import cheap cloth and grain from the Ming Dynasty. As a result, Goryeo has already made a lot of profits.

But even though that's it, in fact, the trade between countries is far less simple than what the female official said.

As the female official said, selling expensive goods on the Ming side and buying cheap goods seems to be profitable, but in fact, the things sold by Goryeo are all their own rare resources. Even in the Ming Dynasty, such resources are rare and not rich people, and they cannot be enjoyed at all. However, imported things are things that everyone can wear. Therefore, the sales volume of things from Goryeo will never be too good when entering the Ming Dynasty. It is only a small transaction. When the Ming Dynasty's products enter Goryeo, they are large-scale transactions, which will inevitably erode the original Goryeo related industries, completely destroy the economic cycle of some civilians in the lower classes of Goryeo, and take away a large amount of profits and circulation of Goryeo.

The Goryeo Emperor had no economic knowledge and was fooled by the female officials of the Ming Dynasty. He deserved their citizens to go bankrupt or displace them. The reason for this was that the king himself was stupid and could not blame others.

The trade port of the Ming Dynasty was located in Huining, a city on the eastern coast of the Ming Dynasty. The Goryeo people needed to use ships to bring goods to sell. Similarly, in Goryeo, there was also a trade port. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty could use ships to bring goods to Goryeo for sale.

Several newspapers in the Ming Dynasty published this news very early. The newspaper was invented by Tang Mo a hundred years ago. It was first officially released exclusively, and later gradually opened to private offices. Now there are as many as seven or eight large newspapers in the Ming Dynasty, and there are more local newspapers, and there are probably more than a hundred.

These newspapers controlled the public opinion trend of the entire Ming Dynasty, so Tang Mo established relevant norms for the behavior of these newspapers, requiring that remarks that incite the people and those that are not conducive to the country should not be made casually. In short, there are dozens of detailed regulations.

With these regulations, Tang Mo had the means to deal with ordinary private newspapers in the Ming Dynasty, and these regulations were Tang Mo's means.

Means are often not so obvious, but more often, means are a potential means.

Starting from the newspaper publishing news, the merchants who received the news in the Ming Dynasty set off a tide of Goryeo. They swept goods from the Ming Dynasty and then went to Goryeo as quickly as possible. Doing business is a step ahead of the profits of several times. If they fall behind, they lose several times of profits.

The first batch of Ming merchants who went to Goryeo took cotton to Goryeo and sold them at a price comparable to silk. This made them ecstatic and they threw the goods away. Even if the sales speed was reduced due to the large amount of goods sold in the short term, they had to lower the price and sell them, and they would do whatever they could. After all, they are racing against time now. If they sold out one minute earlier, they would get an extra profit.

After the first batch of merchants sold short, the second batch of merchants who went to Goryeo did not have such treatment. When they came to Goryeo, the price of cotton had been reduced to half of silk, but this was also a sky-high price. You should know that in the Ming Dynasty, cotton cloth had long been oversupply, and the price of cotton cloth was only one-fifty of the price of silk.

So the second group of merchants also sold cotton cloth as fast as possible and sold out all the cotton cloth in their hands.

Cotton cloth has been lowering its price, but the merchants of the Ming Dynasty couldn't stop at all. You should know that every minute, profits are in front of you. If you delay for a moment, the price of cotton cloth will drop.

The third batch, the fourth batch, the fifth batch, and the sixth batch, waves of merchants came to Goryeo, and a large amount of cotton cloth was dumped into Goryeo. In Goryeo, the individual cotton cloth merchants had no demand for their cotton cloth at all, and they were directly annihilated in this tide.

The Ming Dynasty merchants continued to dump cotton cloth into Goryeo, greatly alleviating the pressure on the inventory of cotton cloth in major workshops in the Ming Dynasty, allowing these workshops to start making cotton cloth with all their efforts.

For half a year, the Ming Dynasty was dumping cotton cloth to Goryeo, and individual cotton cloth merchants in Goryeo went bankrupt because their cotton cloth cost was already higher than their profits.

After the individual cotton cloth merchants in Goryeo went bankrupt, the Ming Dynasty dumping continued, but compared to the initial madness, the export of cotton cloth in Ming Dynasty has begun to stabilize.

The Ming Dynasty cotton cloth dumped Goryeo, and a large amount of Goryeo's gold and silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty through these cotton merchants. The total wealth of the Ming Dynasty increased, and what was lost was the already excess cotton cloth. The gold and silver of Goryeo decreased, the currency circulating in Goryeo decreased, and wealth shrank. Many people kept cotton cloth at home. As a result, the price of cotton cloth fell day by day, and these cotton cloth became useless dead objects pressed into their hands.

Because these cotton cloths became dead objects, the Koreans realized that they had been fooled and used their wealth to exchange for cotton cloth that they could use for the rest of their lives. However, the cotton cloth was still constantly lowering its price, and the cotton cloth in their hands became a complete loss.

Although the Koreans had already reacted, they neither had the courage to forcefully close the trading port nor did they dare to cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in the end, they had to swallow this and these losses.

Immediately afterwards, Goryeo encountered a new wave of dumping, and this time it was tea.

Tea is a high-end product that only nobles can enjoy in Goryeo, but with the economic development in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, tea has entered the homes of ordinary people and has become a daily drink.

Seeing that the price of cotton cloth was not high, the Ming Dynasty merchants all took a look at tea. Some merchants even took a strange trick to launch the "cotton cloth for tea" activity in Goryeo.

Those Koreans are allowed to trade the cotton cloth accumulated in their hands for market prices for tea.

Tea is expensive, and cotton cloth is cheap, but tea is a luxury drink for the nobles. Under the intentional flattery of merchants, tea has become a fairy tea that can cure all diseases. If anyone does not order tea, it is simply sorry to the king.

So the Koreans were deceived again, and the remaining wealth in their hands was squeezed again. The sick Koreans lost all their money just to buy one or two tea leaves. After they went back, they tried it for a few days. It seemed to be effective, so they bought more.

Tea makes the Koreans even worse, but they have not yet discovered that the root of all this is the Ming Dynasty, which is depriving them of their wealth, and they are still immersed in the joy of shopping and cannot extricate themselves.

After the tea leaves, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty came up with another strange trick, and they actually thought of porcelain.

Porcelain is a national ware of the Ming Dynasty. Porcelain is not only exquisite, it can be used as various utensils, but also has a good ornamental effect.

Tea and cotton cloth aim at ordinary people in Goryeo, while porcelain aim at the nobles in Goryeo.

For the nobles, what is the most important thing is of course face.

So the Ming merchants started with face and began to find ways to make porcelain penetrate into the aristocratic circle of Goryeo.

First of all, the Daming merchant gave the Gaoli Emperor a pair of exquisite porcelain vases. These two porcelain vases were amazing. They were antiques of the previous dynasty, worth 100,000 taels of silver. After seeing this, the Gaoli Emperor immediately fell in love with him and issued an imperial edict to praise the merchant who gave the porcelain, such as friendly countries and kindness, respecting the emperor.

In short, because of this, the reputation of porcelain spread in Goryeo. The Goryeo people began to buy porcelain frantically, and porcelain became the object of competition among the Goryeo people. A large number of Goryeo nobles began to buy porcelain from the Ming Dynasty.

Exquisite porcelain from the Ming Dynasty has suddenly become a symbol of culture in Goryeo society. If you visit your relatives and friends' homes, you will not see people, but your porcelain.

In such a few months, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty made a fortune again.

Porcelain cotton cloth, tea, and three things occupy most of the market in Goryeo, but this is not the end. The smart Ming merchants once again came up with a new idea, and what they thought of was food.

Goryeo was a small country and there was insufficient food, so the merchants of the Ming Dynasty sent them food.

A large amount of grain was transported to Goryeo by water. The Goryeo people began to hoard grain in the end. They had no wealth anymore, but grain was a necessity and they had to buy it.

After a few months, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty began to evacuate Goryeo on a large scale, and what they left behind was a poor country.

After Goryeo, Tang Mo thought of the Japanese Empire again, which was a country that made the Chinese people hate them in later generations.

Tang Mo was ready to use the same method to open the door to the Japanese Empire and plunder their wealth.

But something that Tang Mo did not expect happened. Tang Mo sent eunuchs to the Japanese Empire, trying to trick the Japanese Empire into opening the door. However, the Japanese Empire was a warlike country. At this time, the country was in the stage when the war had just ended. The envoys sent by Tang Mo were considered spies and were killed.

The two countries did not kill the envoys when they were at war, but the Japanese Empire actually killed the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty to negotiate, so the Ming people were furious.

At the court meeting, the Minister of War directly proposed to send troops to the Japanese Empire to teach this arrogant country a lesson. If possible, it would be impossible to incorporate it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty and become a province of the Ming Dynasty.

Tang Mo naturally dared not adopt this suggestion easily. This is to start a war. War is not a game, but war will kill people, consume national strength, and give enemy countries an opportunity to take advantage of it.

So Tang Mo decided to send envoys again. If the envoys were killed again this time, then Tang Mo would really start this war.

The second time, Tang Mo sent envoys again, this time he was no longer a eunuch, but a minister of the Ministry of Rites.

This minister of the Ministry of Rites, his son Tang Mo, knew him, who had almost defiled Tang Mo's great disciple Qingmingshan.

So Tang Mo was actually not satisfied with anything but good intentions. If he died, he could only say that he had given birth to a bad son.

What made Tang Mo speechless was that the minister of the Ministry of Rites sent was killed again in less than a month. The reason for the killing this time is very interesting because it was the Japanese Empire that offended the other party's princess, so it was killed. However, this happened to be a very good excuse for war for Tang Mo.

Since you dare to kill my envoy twice, I have a reason to start a war against you.

Tang Mo began to prepare for war. This time, Tang Mo was preparing to send one million troops to the Japanese Empire to conquer the land there. Tang Mo did not believe that one million troops could not conquer a mere island country.

In order to clarify the purpose of this time, Tang Mo reorganized the troops and called them the "Donghuang Army".

It means the emperor's direct troops heading eastward.

This time, Tang Mo still handed over the command of the troops to his original deity, the Qing King Mo Qing.

Mo Qing had already returned to the Ming Dynasty. After learning that his clone was going to attack the Japanese Empire, he realized that he was going to command the army again this time.
