Yinxiang had heard about sending navals to rob European merchant ships, and Prince Jian Yaer Jiang A once mentioned it, but was scolded unceremoniously by the Fourteenth in front of everyone, mainly because he was worried that doing so would damage the overseas trade of the Qing Dynasty and cause bad effects. European countries followed suit and worsened the maritime order in the future, which was not conducive to the long-term voyage of the Qing Dynasty merchant fleet.

At this time, seeing Liu Zhisheng and Shi Shipiao and the others mentioned this matter again without knowing the reason. Yinxiang couldn't help but secretly worry about the two of them. Unexpectedly, Yande said without knowing how to live or die: "Dean, General Shi is very saying, what rules do you have to say with the robbers in Europe? The one who is the least ruled is that they are. The expedition to Europe and America is the first time the navy's voyage, and it is more related to the destiny of the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years. It is not allowed to be missed. Naturally, the more you prepare, the better you are."

Lin Wei continued: "The mark also agrees. Even if we don't rob theirs, we can't guarantee that they won't rob ours."

Seeing everyone's support, Yinzhen suddenly remained silent. The stability of maritime order is indeed important, but compared with the expedition to Europe and America, its importance is simply negligible. As for overseas trade, there is no need to worry. The direct flight trade in America and Europe was opened. Even if there is no merchant ship, you can form a fleet to go to sea for trade. With merchant ships in hand, you are still afraid that there will be no overseas trade?

The British and Dutch navies have done pirates, so why can’t the Qing Dynasty do it? Besides, he ordered the navy to go to Europe to rob merchant ships and rob them when they go to Europe. What can’t be robbed if you come to the door? At worst, the caravans will go to sea in the future and use warships to escort them.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "As soon as the navy cleared out pirates in the South China Sea, we will turn around and we will act as pirates. Wouldn't the Qing navy become a huge joke? No matter it is the navy or within our Qing sea, robbery of passing merchant ships are allowed."

Everyone was quite disappointed when they heard this, but Yinxiang immediately realized what Lao Si's words meant? He allowed pirates outside the Qing Dynasty to rob the passing merchant ships? He couldn't help but glance at Shi Shi's eyes. Shi Shi's eyes were stunned and immediately figured out the loopholes. The Fourteenth Master asked them to pretend to be pirates and go to the outer sea to rob.

He couldn't help but secretly laughed. Isn't this a stealing bell? But he should have hidden his ears. If the matter is not secret, the court can refuse to admit it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wink at Liu Zhisheng, Lin Wei, Yande and others. The three of them immediately understood it, but they all looked serious.

Subsequently, a large-scale recruitment of sailors was launched in all ports in the South China Sea, the Qing Dynasty Navy also began to change its clothes and flags to conduct a survey on the routes on the Andaman Sea, the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean outside the Mantaga Strait, to prepare for the arrival of pirates in the upcoming peak trade season.

North of the Gulf of Siam, Siam.

A huge fleet of ten three-masted sailboats and twenty two-masted small sea boats slowly approached the mouth of Chao Phraya River. This was a commercial fleet sent by Yinzhen, responsible for investigating the rice prices and prices of Siam. By the way, they purchased 300,000 stones of rice. Of course, dozens of people on the ship also entered the bustling towns in Siam on the pretext of purchasing rice for a long time to collect various information. The capital of Siam, the Great City, is naturally the focus.

In the eastern part of the Gulf of Siam, Guangnan Kingdom, and Hexian Port, there is also a large merchant fleet of merchants ashore to collect various information in the name of purchasing rice.

Because they were about to return to Beijing to participate in the 60th birthday celebration of Kangxi, Yinzhen and Yinxiang and their party inspected Mantaga and Temasek, and then accompanied Yande to Manila, accompanied by Spanish generals such as Angel and Carlos.

Shortly after the fleet left the port, Yinzhen summoned Angel and Carlos. They were now wearing straight Spanish navy uniforms and looked a lot of energy. As soon as they entered the door, they saluted respectfully. Yinzhen smiled and introduced Yinxiang and Yande, before reaching out to give up their seats and said, "Sit down and talk."

When the two of them sat down, Yinzhen smiled and said with a smile: "The Kingdom of Mada Lan is the richest and largest prince and sultan in Nanyang. We did not give this piece of fat to the Dutch, but to you. I wonder if you are still satisfied?"

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the captives of Spain and the Netherlands to eliminate the indigenous princes and princes of the South China Sea, Yinzhen specially ordered the protection of all prisoners' private property and announced that all the seized during the battle belonged to them.

Angel and Carlos were naturally very clear about this rule. After hearing Yinzhen's words, they hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully. Then Angel said: "I am very grateful to the Fourteenth Prince for his kindness to us. It is my greatest hope to return to Europe with a decent look. Thank you very much for your generosity."

Yinxiang laughed in his heart when he heard this. He said that Westerners are smart, but I don’t think so well. He was sold by the Fourteenth brother, so he helped count the money. He was so solemnly grateful. The gold and silver in the hands of these prisoners would turn around and pay for their living expenses. He would return to Europe with a decent look. If he could wear this military uniform back one by one, he would have to burn the incense.

"Sit down and say." Yinzhen smiled and stretched out his hand and signaled: "You have also seen the situation in the port of Garoba. Expedition to Europe is not a false statement. In a few months, we can set off. Now, the Qing Empire and the Spanish Empire are not enemies, but allies, and you don't have to be too restrictive.

A few years ago, when I was in the capital, I told you that if the Qing Dynasty wanted to open trade in the Americas, we needed the Port of Acapulco in the Americas as our selfless assistance to Spain. Last year, with the fall of Manila, the trading between the Qing Dynasty and the Americas was also interrupted. This is a situation that neither of our countries would like to see. Therefore, we decided to open a route to the Port of Acapulco this year.

I think the route from Manila to Port Acapulco is the most familiar to you. Last August, we detained eight large sailing ships from Port Acapulco, and all the captains and sailors were left in Manila.

This time, I would like to ask you to go to Manila together, so that you can help convince the captains and sailors to put the overall situation first and make due contributions to the friendly exchanges between the Qing Dynasty and Spain."

The Qing Empire actually sent troops to Europe and America at the same time? Angel and Carlos were shocked when they heard this. Both of them had personally experienced the size and strength of the Qing Empire. What would happen if the Qing Navy landed in the Americas? Should they open up new territory? Or would they compete for the new Spain in America?

Soon, Angel took back his mind. This was not a question he should consider. Now there are tens of thousands of prisoners in Spain in the hands of this fourteenth prince. How to do his best to get these prisoners back to Spain alive is what he should consider. (To be continued)q!~!
