Chapter 421

Little Aiwei looked at the branch and hesitated again.

It's dead, it's not like it. It's obviously green...

It's not like it. My brother said just now that he grew up by the river and had to get close to the water to be considered alive. Also, under this small branch, there is no beard. 20,000 navy! Angel and Carlos both had a stiff face. At the beginning, they shot several rounds of musketeers from the Qing Navy at the city of Tianjin. The scene still makes people crazy when they remembered it. Afterwards, they analyzed the wounds and penetration of the deceased. The penetration and lethality of the Qing Empire muskets were much greater than that of the Spanish muskets.

What made them even more frightened was the loading and amazing discipline and obedience of the Qing musketeers. What would happen if 20,000 such quality musketeers arrived in Europe? Spain was absolutely irresistible.

As for the lease of the port, the two of them thought for a while and realized that Yinzhen was referring to the example of Portugal renting Macau in the Qing Empire and renting a port in Spain to expand maritime trade. This kind of thing is not a bad thing for Europeans who value commerce. The two of them could not think of national sovereignty or something at all. Instead, they believed that just for such a slight dilemma, they sent troops to expedition tens of thousands of miles. This excuse was too bad.

After pondering for a while, Angel asked tentatively: "Since the Fourteenth Prince is going to send troops to Europe to aid Spain, France, and other countries, our captured more than 7,000 naval forces, what will the Fourteenth Prince plan to deal with it?"

When Yinzhen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the reason for renting a port was too little profit. The two of them were still a little unbelievable. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Not only are you more than 7,000 people, but there are still thousands in Luzon. Of course, the Qing Dynasty not only wants to open direct trade in Europe, but also trade in America. For the Qing Dynasty, the Port of Acapulco is a very good place."

Port Acapulco, Angel and Carlos were slightly stunned. It seemed that the Qing Empire had also begun to take steps to expand overseas. The main function of Port Acapulco was to trade in the Far East. Without the route of Manila, it would soon decline and would not have a great effect on Spain. However, if it was given to the Empire of Qing, it would be unforgettable.

The Qing Empire had the bridgehead of the Port of Acapulco in the Americas, Spain's overseas territory in the Americas, especially New Spain, would be directly threatened. However, compared with the security of Spain in Europe, what is the overseas territory? With the 20,000 navy of the Qing Empire, the Faspise Alliance can definitely reverse the decline and even turn defeat into victory. There are many overseas territories, so where can we not rob? The local area must not be lost.

Besides, these things should be considered by King Philip V and the ministers. They have nothing to do with them, regardless of whether they can reach an agreement, at least they can solve the current embarrassment of themselves and the seven thousand prisoners. As long as these Qing navies do not attack the Spanish mainland, they will lead them to provide a chance to turn the tables in a precarious situation to Spain and France. With this, they will make a great contribution.

Thinking of this, Carlos couldn't wait to tempt: "The Fourteenth Prince is sincerely helping us, not taking advantage of the situation to rob us?"

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Do you think that the two generals think that I am so arrogant and ignorant that I can challenge the entire Europe with a 20,000 navy?"

When Yinzhen heard that it was challenging the entire Europe, not Spain, Angel and Carlos, they were stunned for a moment and were very surprised. The fourteenth prince actually had such a thorough understanding of the situation in Europe! It seems that the ministers in China were going to have a headache.

Since the Qing Dynasty had no intention of attacking the local area, Angel and Carlos both felt relieved, Angel continued to mention the old saying, "Fourth Prince, these thousands of prisoners..."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "The Qing Empire is very sincere in sending troops to the Faspise Alliance this time. You, together with the captives of Luzon, can be sent back to Spain in batches and free of charge."

When Angel heard this, Carlos and the other two immediately felt relieved. Since this was the case, it was enough to prove the sincerity of the Qing Empire. The two immediately stood up and knelt down and thanked: "Thank you very much for the respected Fourteenth Prince, we are willing to serve you wholeheartedly."

Seeing the two of them express their opinions, Yinzhen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief with his two efforts to help, the route to the expedition to Europe would be no longer a problem. At least the non-combat reduction on the voyage should be greatly reduced. He nodded and said, "After you two return to Tianjin, you will immediately rectify the troops, rush to Weihaiwei, and take a boat to Karopa."

When they heard that they didn't have to stay in this cold Tianjin anymore, they were both overjoyed and immediately said in unison: "Sir."

The reason why Yinzhen was anxious to ask them to rush to Karopa was that he did not want to support them in vain. Since he wanted to help Spain, it would be impossible for them to build roads. In the past six months, they would be able to wipe out the indigenous people in the South China Sea, which would not only sell them a huge favor, but also save themselves a lot of trouble. The Spanish were brought to bear the infamous massacre of the indigenous people in the South China Sea.

Seeing that the banquet was ready, Yinzhen smiled and said, "The banquet was ready. Today I invite you to taste the oriental delicacies."

Yinzhen hosted Angel and Carlos at Yin'an Hall. They had a great chat during the banquet, but the backyard was crying. The third son Hongying and the fourth son Hong were two little boys.
