}EVENTHIST317016;Cut off from its traditional sources of revenue the remnant Ming rulers had little choice but to turn to foreign trade to fund their efforts to restore their dynasty's fortunes. Neither the Spanish nor the Dutch were happy to have Chinese competitors intrude on turf they regarded as their own.;;;;;;;;;;

EVENTNAME317003;Zheng Chenggong forbids trade with Manila;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST317003;By 1655 Zheng Chenggong, known as Koxinga in the West from his title of Guoxingye (Lord of the Imperial Surname), which was pronounced "Kok seng ia" in southern Fujianese, had become predominant in the Ming court and he was determined to prevent the Western powers from interfering with Ming trade and to assert sovereignity over Taiwan's native inhabitants. He sent a letter to the VOC's Governor of Taiwan in August 1655. The Spanish, wrote Chenggong, had been mistreating his sailors, and he had therefore issued an edict that forbade Chinese to sail to Manila on pain of death. He enclosed a copy of the edict and requested that the Governor propagate it in Formosa and enforce it by confiscating the junks and property of any who disobeyed. But the language of the edict raised the hackles of the VOC. First, it said that the Dutch "behave more like animals than Christians." Second, it referred to Chinese who lived in the Dutch colony as Chenggong's subjects. Third, and most important, it threatened punishment not only for Chinese but also for "anyone outside of our nation who extends money for trade with Manila." If company officials did as Chenggong asked and published the edict, they would be admitting that Chenggong had sovereignty over the Chinese colonists in Formosa. The Governor and the council decided they must refuse Chenggong's request to preserve "the sovereignty of the Netherlanders." They replied with a "compliment letter," which politely declined his request.;;;;;;;;;;

However, Zheng seems to have intimidated many of the Chinese merchants who normally came to trade in Taiwan because very few would brave his displeasure over the next few years.;;;;;;;;;;

Edit: I really don't want to write paired ownership/controlled triggers for 317016, but I think that its pretty unlikely that the Southern Ming won't control at least one of these provinces. 317017 renumbered to 317003
Replaced Spanish event, with province_spec event and modified text

). Don't forget the Pirates twin event to be created for Qing China (and slept if Koxinga is bribed - to be confirmed).
