Yinzhen's most urgent task at present is to open up a route to America. He knew very well that the so-called New Spain was Central America in the Gulf of Mexico. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to open up the American territory, it must establish a stronghold in this section. Only in this way can it expand north and south to south and south, and north America territory.

Spain's main colony in the Americas is Mexico, the so-called New Spain. The Qing Dynasty wanted to establish a stronghold here, which was tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth. It would definitely have a fierce battle with Spain. This is also the reason why Yinzhen was eager to learn about the details of New Spain.[.]

Yinzhen knew nothing about sailing across the Pacific Ocean, but he knew that it was purely a blind ride on a sailor who was familiar with this route to cross the Pacific Ocean. The danger was not ordinary. Before, he was just a false intimidation.

After a while of silence, Governor Mairoting asked with expectations: "Prince, how are you going to deal with these more than 10,000 Spanish prisoners?"

Yinzhen said without hesitation: "It depends on the attitude of your Spanish kings. The Qing Dynasty is based on fighting. Of course, we can also fight and talk while fighting. We will die after the battle. If the negotiations can solve the problem, the Qing Dynasty will be happy."

When he heard that the war was about to die, Mairoting couldn't help but jump. The fourteenth prince was threatening that once the war started, he would massacre prisoners! However, it can be seen from this that the Qing Dynasty really wanted to negotiate. He thought to himself that Spain was now in the battle for succession to the throne and was unable to send a fleet to the Far East. When the Far East fleet was formed, it was not only to compete for the spice territory, but also to the idea of ​​threatening the Netherlands to withdraw from the anti-French alliance. Unexpectedly, the entire army was destroyed in the hands of the Qing Dynasty.

At present, it is naturally the most ideal to sit down and talk. After thinking for a while, Mairoting pondered: "Our great His Majesty Philip has always loved peace. The Spanish Far East Fleet North is a pure misunderstanding. I believe His Majesty Philip is very willing to negotiate with the Qing Empire."

Spain is a fighting bull, and loves peace. Yinzhen couldn't help but smile. He was not sure about Spain's current situation and was skeptical about Mairoting's words. It is naturally better to gain a foothold in Central America through negotiations. However, he also knew that this possibility was not very high. For New Spain, he had to base himself on fighting. He pondered for a little, and then said, "Okay, is it time to talk about the situation in New Spain now?"

Mairotin changed to a very sincere tone and said, "Dear Prince, the silver mine in New Spain has been completely exhausted after more than a hundred years of continuous mining. Moreover, the distance between Manila and Port Acapulco is too far away. Even the captains who often travel this route often die in ships. It is unimaginable to rely solely on sailors. "

After Zhang Yaosheng finished the translation, he then said: "Report to the President, at the end of July and early August every year, Manila has fleets from Acapulco Port. If the prince wants to open this route, he can control this fleet."

Yinzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this. How could he forget this? Nowadays, communications are not developed. Spain has no idea that the Qing Dynasty has declared war on him, and even more so, Manila has fallen. The New Spanish merchant ships in the Americas will definitely arrive in Manila as scheduled, just wait for the rabbit to wait.

Nodding with a smile, Yinzhen asked again: "Do you know how long it takes to get from Port Acapulco to Manila?"

"It usually takes about four and a half months to go back to the dean." Zhang Yaosheng replied respectfully.

In other words, in early March, the American merchant fleet had already set off. Yinzhen felt relieved and glanced at Zhang Yaosheng with great appreciation. Regarding Zhang Yaosheng, he had heard Zheng Qingyuan's introduction and knew that when he conquered Manila, Zhang Yaosheng entered the city alone to persuade him to surrender. This kid is brave and knowledgeable, knows Spanish, and is smart. He is a good seedling. After pondering for a moment, he said, "You are a native of Manila, and are willing to be my guard?"

Zhang Yaosheng was stunned and acted as the director's guard. Zheng Qingyuan, who stood like wood, couldn't help but scolded: "Why are you still stunned? Why don't you thank me quickly?"

"Thank you for your grace, please give me your willingness." After coming back to his senses, Zhang Yaosheng quickly stood at attention and saluted beautifully.

Yinzhen nodded and glanced at Mairoting again. This guy didn't cry without seeing the coffin. He dared to deceive himself that the silver mine in Mexico was exhausted. Mexico is known as the kingdom of silver. With its current investment and mining capabilities, how could the silver mine be exhausted so easily? Moreover, there are countless energy sources in the Gulf of Mexico, and even if there is no silver, it will be occupied!

I guess this guy will not disclose the situation in New Spain in a short time. He has to let him suffer a little, ponder for a moment, and then Yinzhen said: "Translation of what he said just now. After leaving his rotten lotus leaf, I will still make rice dumplings. Tell him that from now on, I will only provide him with two taels of meters each time. When will he be willing to say it, and then he will be treated again. Take him down."

When he heard that each Yao was only two taels of meters, Navy Lieutenant Colonel Monterey was shocked. The food in the prisoner-of-war camp was not bad, and Yiyao was only two taels of meters, and he would definitely starve to death. Seeing that Mairoting was taken down, he kowtowed with a pale face and said, "Dear Prince, the nobles of the Navy, we surrendered only when we say we treat the prisoners with preferential treatment."

"You can't be futile to treat prisoners with preferential treatment." Yinzhen chuckled and said, "Are there any officers and soldiers from America in the navy?"

"No, the officers and soldiers of the Far East Fleet were all drawn from the Spanish mainland." Monterey said honestly.

Yinzhen forgives him not to lie about this kind of thing. He ponders for a moment and then says, "In the future, you must spend money to buy food for free. If you don't have money, you will be waiting to starve to death."

Buy money? We are prisoners and have been plundered long ago. Where can we still have money? Monterey looked up at Yinzhen in confusion and thought to himself, do you want to starve us to death? Or have you had other plans?

Yinzhen stared at him and said, "Three thousand soldiers, each time they release one thousand, divided into ten teams, and I will go to nearby islands to catch slaves in exchange for your food."

When Monterey heard that it was a slave, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was not difficult to survive. He hurriedly proposed the conditions and said, "We need weapons."

"This is fine. You can give some muskets. However, you must be replaced regularly and paid for slaves." Yinzhen said with a smile. He was sent to nearby islands, not afraid of how big a wave they could make.

After staying in Manila for four days, Yinzhen led his fleet south to Karoba.

Garopa, also known as Batavia, is a very beautiful city in later generations. It is of course also a city with a long history. This historical city located at the mouth of the Chilion River was famous for exporting peppers and spices hundreds of years ago. my country had trade with this city during the Song Dynasty. The local area called this city Xunda Galaba, which means a place with dense coconut forests and is also known as Coconut City.

In 00 years, the Dutch East India Company purchased a piece of land in Jakarta for 2,700 rupees to build houses and warehouses. In 7 years, the East India Company built a solid wall and military fortress around Jakarta. At that time, the British entered the country and set up an office not far from the East India Company. The Dutch entered the country and the British entered the country in conflict, causing war. In the end, the Dutch entered the country and completely occupied Jakarta. At that time, Jakarta was greatly damaged. So the Dutch entered the country and renamed it Batavia. Since then, Batavia has been a stronghold for the Dutch invasion and rule over Indonesia.

History, thirty years later, the Netherlands entered Batavia and created the shocking "Red Creek Massacre" in Batavia. Nearly 10,000 overseas Chinese were killed, and the blood of overseas Chinese stained the water of the Red Creek outside Batavia City. After the Hongxi incident, overseas Chinese in Java expressed their desire to avenge the dead. Nearly 20,000 overseas Chinese gathered outside Jakarta. The East India Company immediately dispatched 3,000 reinforcements to defend the city gate, making it difficult for overseas Chinese to attack. After the overseas Chinese evacuated from Jakarta, they went to various parts of Java. Overseas Chinese responded one after another, forming a huge resistance struggle.

However, with the South China Sea Fleet conquering Galoba, the Dutch colonial rule that had been in the South China Sea for a hundred years had come to an end, and the "Hongxi Massacre" could not happen again.

The reason why Yinzhen wanted to capture Karopa was not only the need to fully occupy the South China Ocean, but also the need to occupy and develop Australia. When he went to Australia, Karopa could not bypass it. However, even Yinzhen did not expect that Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei and Er's move were so fast that after conquering Manila, he quickly went south to conquer Karopa.

There were many Karoba Hans, and the Dutch entered the country was exactly the same as Spain. They wanted to use Han to develop, and they were worried that the Hans' entry would endanger their rule. Therefore, they also strictly controlled and exploited the local Hans' entry. The Qing Navy captured Karoba and won strong support from the local Hans' entry.

On the fourth day of June, Yinzhen led a huge fleet to Karopa, which was also warmly welcomed by the local Han people. As soon as he stepped on the wharf, Yinzhen announced a series of reward measures to stabilize the Han people, just like in Manila. He went to the city for a short rest. Then he summoned Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei and Er.

After the second entrance to meet, Yinzhen said solemnly: "The emperor has issued an order to establish the Navy headquarters, formally establish the Qing Dynasty Royal Navy, and initially form two fleets of Beiyang and Nanyang. Both of you will be awarded the title of general."

When he heard that he had really made a high point and had risen from white to the third level of the genus general, Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei Erzhizhi were mentally prepared, but he could not help but feel a little lost. He was a little stunned for a moment. Then both of them knelt down and thanked, "Dean Xie carefully cultivated it."

Yinzhen nodded with a smile and said, "At present, there are only two fleets, led by Yande and Liu Zhisheng, and Lin Wei does not need to be upset. After the battle in the South China Sea, the horse will form an Australian fleet, the American fleet, and the navy's battle is the beginning. General, deputy general, general, general, and admiral, I hope you will step by step and move forward steadily, and the Qing navy will also develop step by step into the world's most powerful navy."

Both of them were excited and saluted: "The standard was to live up to the Dean's expectations and swear to build the navy into the strongest navy."

Afterwards, Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei Er entered the country and made a detailed report on the situation after heading south.

After the Battle of Manila and the Battle of Garoba, the Nanyang Fleet only seriously injured five warships, but seized twenty-eight warships, including two second-class ships, six third-class ships, eight fourth-class ships, and twelve auxiliary ships. There were also sixteen armed merchant ships of 1,550 materials. The Netherlands was captured and entered more than 4,000, but after these two battles, nearly 500 casualties were entered.

Yinzhen felt heartbroken when he heard this. The naval soldiers of the Nanyang Fleet were all veterans and were considered valuable assets of the navy. When he heard that the navy had only more than 120 deaths and the others were all Green Camp warriors, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when I heard that there was a Madalan Kingdom in the eastern and central areas of Java Island, and there were many local kings, such as the Sultan of Vandan, the Sultan of Jinglibu, the Sultan of Yogyakarta, the Sultan of Solo, and the Sultan of Pagoda, Machen and other places near Jaw, Yinzhen frowned. He had no fond of his favor for the indigenous people of Indonesia. Later generations, these indigenous monkeys repeatedly suppressed the overseas Chinese, and the anti-China incidents were endless.

After the second entry report, Yinzhen pondered for a moment before saying, "Galopa is not as complicated as Luzon. Not only is the situation much more complicated, but its geographical location is also very important. You don't know what Australia has discovered." As he said that, he briefly told the situation in Australia.

When Liu Zhisheng heard that there was such a rich new continent near Garopa, he was inexplicably excited. In this way, the court's emphasis on the navy must be raised to a new level.

Yinzhen continued: "The imperial horses will occupy and develop Australia. The importance of the Karopa is self-evident. The islands of the South China Sea must be firmly grasped in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. If they are not our race, their hearts will be different. All the sultans of the earth, including the horse-dailan kingdom, must be completely wiped out, so that they can all go to Australia to mine.

Yaojin and Manila's Spanish soldiers and prisoners were all brought to the South China Sea to fight against the indigenous people, and the same was true for the Dutch prisoners, and they could not be raised in vain."

Liu Zhisheng was all jumped when he heard the second entrance. The dean was more ruthless than the Netherlands. This move was to exterminate the indigenous people of Java.

After resting for a night, the next morning, Yinzhen summoned a group of generals to meet and sent Yande, Delga and Lin Wei to lead a fleet to attack Malacca, Malacca, and specifically pointed out that Temasek must be occupied today in Singapore to form a trend of echoing with Malacca.

At the same time, two small fleets of twelve captured auxiliary ships also bypassed the Sunda Strait and started Australia's route exploration journey.

Fu Anding led the 3,000 Marines to start the expedition and suppression of the Galoba. Yinzhen was not idle either, so he started to select a site in Galoba to prepare for the construction of Yiying Factory Workshop.

Since he had fully captured the South China Sea and wanted to occupy and develop Australia, the Garoba was much stronger than Manila, so Yinzhen decided to build the Garoba into a slightly larger naval base in order to control the South China Sea.

With Yande's absolute advantage in the army and firepower, Temasek surrendered at the news. After learning that the Dutch Entry of Mantaga escaped most of the time after learning that the Karopa was in decline, the remaining 600 people only resisted one stubbornly and declared surrender. In just half a month, the good news of conquering Mantaga came to Karopa.

In order to prevent the impact of domestic overseas trade, although the Qing Navy occupied the Strait of Malacca, it did not prohibit the passage of merchant ships from the Western countries. The Qing Empire completely captured the South China Sea and officially declared war on Spain, seized the entire Spanish Far East fleet, captured Manila, Batavia, Mantawiga, Temasek, and massacred 9,000 Spanish prisoners, spread throughout Europe with the Atlantic monsoon.

In the winter of the 51st year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the sea.

Honggang, since the founding of the Royal Navy of the Qing Dynasty in May and rewarded the craftsmen of various factories and workshops in various factories, Honggang has become a holy place in the hearts of all the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty. Not only does it have a high salary, but it can also be rewarded with a special skill. The entire Qing Dynasty is Honggang, which is just the sea. The factory workshops under the name of the Fourteenth Master Navy have this treatment.

Countless craftsmen came here, and many even fled. In order to enter Haihong Port, many miscellaneous students also came to invest, and they kept flowing into various factories and workshops.

Zheng Qinghai, the chief financial officer of Liuchunyuan, knew that the Fourteenth Master wanted to establish a naval base in Yaojin and Nanyang, and the workshops of each factory would also set up branches, so he notified the workshops to recruit them. The money he had to flow out was like a flow of money. He didn't care about this salary, and it was not worth it if he missed the matter of the Fourteenth Master.

In just half a year, Honggang's scale has nearly doubled, and the workshops of each factory have been expanded again and again. The supervisors who were in charge of the Ministry of Works are now walking with wind and are full of energy. Although there are more and more craftsmen under their command, they dare not slacken at all.

The most pressure was the artillery factory. In the Battle of Penghu alone, the Navy seized more than 30 Spanish warships, and the artillery of these warships had to be replaced. Seeing that it was another big battle, Nanyang knew how many warships would be seized and returned. If there was no inventory, it would be inevitable that they would be in a panic again. Moreover, the Fourteenth Master also asked to cast sixty-pound heavy artillery. Yaojin and Nanyang were rushing to make urgent work and could not be busy.

The gunpowder workshop is also working day and night. The more warships, the greater the gunpowder it consumes. The consumption of Nanyang is now in shock. What's more, the 10,000 new trainees have completed half a year of step-by-step training, and they are about to conduct live-fire training, so the consumption of gunpowder is even greater.

Iron smelting plants, firearms, and bedding factories are the same. The navy has expanded too quickly, and the consumption of various material weapons is quite shocking. The only thing that is easier is probably the shipyard. There are only so many Pijin docks, and the navy has seized more and more warships and merchant ships, so their pressure is not high.

At the Naval Academy, all the big bosses went to Nanyang. The captain Fu Han was named by Yinzhen to take on the training task of recruits. He could understand the importance of this job and would be of great benefit to his future development. He took on this burden without regrets and worked diligently.
