Chapter 377: Recruiting the European General

Now there are more than 40,000 troops in the navy alone. Yinzhen said that the navy was always talking about, that is, the Americas did not need to mobilize other Eight Banners Green Camps at all. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The warships were fine and logistics supplies were not necessary for them to worry about. The Fourteenth Master had money, and since he strongly advocated it, he naturally did not need to pay military expenses in the court.

Thinking of such an expedition, the Hua court did not need a big son. Everyone's expressions were strange. Is this navy the court's economic and technological army or the private soldiers of the Fourteenth Master?

Hearing that the troops expeditioned to Europe were reduced by 10,000, Kangxi couldn't help but frown. Expedition to Europe was related to the national prestige of the Qing Dynasty. Once defeated, it would not be a joke. Although the Qing Dynasty was not ashamed, he, the emperor of the age, would also be discredited. At that time, a lot of infamous such as military military power, consuming military and military salaries, and wasting national strength would definitely come.

After pondering for a moment, he asked: "The expedition to Europe is great, and the support of France, the weaker one is also supported by the Spanish side. If the disadvantages are still not reversed, it will not only be a joke, but also the English and the Netherlands will take advantage of the situation to counterattack. In this way, it will be more than worth the loss."

"Return to Emperor Ama." Yinzhen bowed and replied: "The two alliances of Rome, Britain, the Netherlands, France and the West have been fighting in Europe for ten years, but they are still unable to decide the outcome. It can be seen that both sides are evenly matched. After ten years of war, both sides have already exhausted their national strength.

Our Qing Dynasty 20,000 new forces joined the battlefield. The French and Spanish alliances would inevitably have a strong morale, while the British and Dutch alliances were naturally frightened. One rose and the other was declining, and they would inevitably have the advantage.

The Qing Dynasty sent troops to support France. The Western Alliance is not about the number of troops, but about the influence behind it. This means that the French and Western Alliance are constantly supported by the material and financial resources of the Qing Dynasty.”

Kangxi had already realized this reminder that the fourteenth old man sent troops to Europe was just a gesture. His purpose was to prolong the war in Europe. He did not want Europe to end the war as soon as possible, rather than helping France, the Spanish Alliance won the victory, and he did not want to spend too much military force in Europe. Europe was in war for a long time, so the Qing Dynasty could gain time to develop and expand overseas territory.

The ministers and ministers of the Ministry of War were all old foxes. After a moment of pondering, they all understood Yinzhen's thoughts, and they all muttered in their hearts, was it considered an open conspiracy or a conspiracy? The Fourteenth Master was a thief. If the Qing Navy did not work hard or played a balance in secret, the war in Europe would probably be fought for a few years.

Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen with great appreciation, changed the topic and said, "America is not as large as Europe, with a vast land and sparse population. The same is true for Dhagaaldan. The main thing is to provide logistics supply. More than 10,000 people went on an expedition to the Americas. How did you consider this logistics supply?"

"The Emperor Ama candle shines on his holy candle, and has insight into thousands of miles. When he goes to the Americas, logistics supply is indeed the top priority." Yinzhen replied calmly: "Now the route from the Qing Dynasty to the Americas is the route from Manila to Acapulco Port opened by the Spaniard. Acapulco Port is located at the link between North and South America. Going north and south is both different. If the Qing Dynasty wants to explore the Americas, it must occupy Acapulco Port.

On the back of the Port of Acapulco is the New Spanish territory established by Spain in the Americas. It has been developed for hundreds of years and can be fully raised on site. After consolidating the Port of Acapulco, the nobles and nobles who were granted can go up and down the coast to find rich places, open up manors, and open up new routes to the Qing Dynasty.

This is a landing from the east coast of America. Once a stronghold is opened in Africa, it can also land on South America from the west coast of South America, and divide the east and west sides at the same time."

After hearing this, everyone was silent. Although Yinzhen said it was obscure, everyone knew what it meant to raise food and grass supplies on the spot. He captured Luzon, Spain, and robbed the port of Acapulco, and also raised food and grass supplies on the spot in his territory. Europe went to support Spain. This Spain was made of mud, and he was also angry, right? How could he let the Qing Dynasty knead it?

Sun Zhenghao, the Minister of Han of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but ask, "It's still a matter of being able to seize Luzon in front, but we help Spain fight in Europe and grab Spanish territory in America. How could Spain be so easy to talk to? Is the Fourteenth Master not worried about Spain's rebellion against us in Europe?"

"It is not Spain that is sending troops to Europe, but an alliance formed by France, Spain, Bavaria, Cologne and several German states." Yinzhen explained patiently. After a pause, he continued: "Europe believes in power, which is also the main reason why European powers have been launched and wars are endless. Spain has begun to decline now. Its overseas territory will not be robbed by the Qing Dynasty, and Britain, the Netherlands, Austria and other countries will also rob. Once defeated, Spain will definitely cede its local and overseas territory.

Spain has a large number of territories in America and Africa. Compared with its local safety in Europe, Spain's King Philip V could naturally consider clearly. Moreover, how could the Qing Dynasty send troops to Europe be without benefits? We also want it to be a territory of Spain in America, but also France in Africa."

Hearing this, Song Zhu couldn't help but worry: "Will the lion open his mouth so much will it cause disgust from France and the Western Alliance, and thus refuse us to send troops to help?"

"Just the opposite." Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "European countries value local interests. If the Qing Dynasty sent troops to help unconditionally, the Western Alliance would not dare to accept it easily. Therefore, we must open our mouths."

"Since that's the case, wouldn't it be difficult for the Fourteenth Master to gain a foothold in a corner of Europe?" Xiao Yongzao said immediately.

Yinzhen smiled slightly: "The land was cedeed to the defeat in the war, and it has been the same since ancient times. Not only China, but also the European countries. As long as we win in the end, we can cede land in the defeated country. A corner of the land is not enough to arouse fear and concern in Europe."

Seeing Yinzhen answering questions and answering questions, it was obvious that after careful consideration, everyone stopped talking. Kangxi was also very pleased. It seemed that sending troops to Europe was indeed of many benefits. What made him most pleased was that such a big move was difficult to implement even if he had devoted all his national strength ten years ago. Now it is unimaginable that it is not enough to send a single national treasury or a soldier without placing a single army or a soldier.

After pondering for a moment, Kangxi said, "Since you are so thorough in thinking and you have no objection, this matter will be settled for the time being. However, do you have any candidates for the commander of the commander who sent troops to Europe and America?"

When he heard Kangxi's words, all the ministers remained silent. The navy went to the expedition. The commander of the army was not as good as they had proposed. It was useless to say it, and he offended the Fourteenth Master. How could these individuals do such a mess?

Seeing that all the ministers were silent, Yinzhen secretly complained that even if he had any ideas about this, he would not dare to say it clearly. The Navy is now a military commander of the court, and others can still talk about it. If he opens his mouth, he will inevitably be suspected of abusing power. Now it is a critical moment for the establishment of a crown prince.

Seeing that Yinzhen had not made a sound, Zhang Pengfeng quickly thought of this section. He glanced at Li Guangdi, and saw that he lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, without any intention of speaking, so he bowed and said, "Emperor, the world has been peaceful for decades, and the former famous generals have all withered. Now he is fighting for hegemony overseas and the war is in full swing. It is better to vigorously promote young generals to reserve talents for the future and expedition to Europe. This general leads the army and is also related to the emperor's reputation."

When Kangxi heard these words, he was sad. He was famous generals of the Xi Dynasty who followed him to pledge the Three Feudatories, conquered Taiwan, and conquered the three Junggars, Chang Ning, Fuquan, Fei Yanggu, Tuhai, Sabusu, Shi Lang, Zhao Liangdong, Zhang Yong, Sun Sike, and Wang Jinbao have all died. He is now at the age of 60, and it is true that time is unforgivable.

It is indeed time to promote a group of young generals. Sooner or later, there will be a war in the battle for hegemony overseas. If you encounter such a young and yellow person who is now in a state of disagreement and no general can be sent, the Qing Dynasty will be shaken by it.

After coming back to his senses, Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen and said, "Yinzhen, you are in charge of the Navy. The Navy was also created by you. Can there be a suitable candidate for recommendation?"

Since it was recommended, Yinzhen had no worries and pondered for a moment, and said, "Returning to the Emperor Ama, the expedition to Europe and the expedition to America have their own emphasis. America is relatively simple, and you can choose a powerful general. My son thinks that the destiny of the Beiyang Fleet and Delga can lead the troops.

The situation in Europe is complicated, and we must weigh everything and be cautious everywhere. We should consider how to win the best interests for the Qing Dynasty. It is best for the generals to be familiar with the situation of European countries and overseas situations, and understand the habits of Europeans. My sons secretly think that the navy can condemn Liu Zhisheng, Lin Wei and Fu Anding of the South China Fleet to go. Lead the generals and take the initiative. I also ask Emperor Ama to allow him." As he said that, Yinzhen knelt down.

The Fourteenth Master asked to lead his troops to fight Europe! The ministers immediately became energetic. The Fourteenth Master said it was reasonable. The Fourteenth Master was the most suitable candidate to lead his troops to fight Europe. However, now the crown prince is abolished and the throne is empty. The Fourteenth Master is the most expected to be appointed as the crown prince.

The expedition to Europe was 40,000 miles of sea route, and the voyage was only half a year. The sea was windy and storms were unpredictable, and there were countless storms. It was self-evident that it would be worth it if Kangxi allowed the Fourteenth Master to go to Europe.

Is the Fourteenth Master testing Kangxi's intention? Or is he abandoning his personal intentions and putting state affairs first? Everyone lowered their eyebrows, raised their heads, and listened intently.

Kangxi was also stunned. Unexpectedly, Lao Sioux actually asked to lead the army to Europe in person. What was the purpose? He couldn't help but feel a lot. In terms of understanding Europe and overseas, Lao Sioux was definitely the first person in the Qing Dynasty. If it were about fighting for the Qing Dynasty in Europe, Lao Siouxx would also not be the second person.

As Lao Sioux said, he was the most ideal candidate for the commander. There are many European kingdoms and the situation is complicated. It is not easy to grasp the right position. You must have a strong overall view and control over the navy. Only Lao Sioux has these.
