Karopa, the Governor's Office of the Nanyang Governor.

The Governor's Office is a large scale, covers a vast area, has a rigorous layout, and is majestic. Although it is newly built, the residence is covered with green trees and deep and strict. Prince Dun Yinyi, who came to Nanyang to see off for the navy under the order, stayed here.

Although the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there is no need to go to the morning court, Yin Yi still got up at Chen Shichu. He had been in Karopa for about one hundred years, but he was still not used to it. This errand he had been thinking about day and night was like a nightmare for him. He was sailing south all the way, and he was so seasick that he vomited in a few days after landing. Moreover, he was not very used to the tropical climate here.

Although he was only ordered to go on a war to see the navy off, since he arrived at Garoba, he must understand more about the situation here. Although Garoba is located on the border, its geographical location is extremely important. It is not only a must-pass place for Australia to return to Beijing, but also an important base for the navy. Zhenwu attaches great importance to this and occasionally hears him mentioning that he also has plans to station heavy troops here.

Yinyi naturally would not neglect the things that Zhenwu attaches so much importance to. He also knew that after returning to Beijing, Zhenwu would definitely ask about the situation of Karopa. If he didn't know about it, his face would be gone and he got up early. He wanted to take advantage of the cool weather to go out for a walk, look around, and learn about the local people's conditions. He knew very well about the reports of local officials. He only chose good words, and he would tell some concrete things when he returned to Beijing.

After breakfast, Yin Yi was about to leave the mansion, and his personal guards hurried to report: "Report to the master, Nanyang Governor Chen Pengnian, who is looking for a meeting outside."

Come so early to ask for a meeting? Did those restless things cause trouble again last night? Yin Yi couldn't help but frown slightly. There were more than 3,000 people who went to Africa with the navy to crack down on and arrest the people in various places. These people were prepared specifically for the eighth, the nineth, the thirteenth, and the other two to capture slaves in Africa. None of these people were fuel-efficient. Although they were under strict supervision, they still caused a lot of trouble in a month in Karopa.

As soon as he arrived at Garopa, Chen Pengnian complained to him. He was also very upset. These people could not be treated completely as exiled prisoners. When they arrived in Africa, they still expected them to open up the situation soon. The Qing Dynasty is now in a hurry to be slaves, and the fourteenth brother has high expectations for the profits of the slave trade and must coax them. However, these iron-headed monkeys are all as savage and will not have a day of peace.

Fortunately, it was about to come. I was not upset for a few days, so I pondered for a moment. Yin Yi said, "Let him come in."

Chen Pengnian soon walked in under the guidance of his personal guards. Seeing Yinyi sitting upright on the top, he hurriedly stepped forward and stabbed Qian'er and said, "Prince Chen Pengnian, please pay tribute to Prince Dun."

Yin Yi smiled slightly, raised his right hand and said, "Do not need to be too polite to supervising the platform Chen, look at it." After pausing, he smiled and said, "Didn't Chen use it early yet?"

Seeing Yinyi's attitude, Chen Pengnian knew that he was wrong, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Xie Shiye, polite. The lower official came early because the pigeon letter from the capital arrived."

The capital pigeon letter arrived? So quickly? Yin Yi was excited when he was ready and asked hurriedly: "Did the emperor agree?"

"Return to the prince." Chen Pengnian bowed and said, "The emperor agreed to incorporate the warships, merchant ships and crew sailors from Europe into the navy to conquer Africa. This is the original and translation of the pigeon letter, with the emperor's secret seal on it." As he said that, he stood up and presented the pigeon letter and the translated translation with both hands.

Yinyi was not interested in the original. He couldn't understand it at all, and he knew that Chen Pengnian did not dare to lie to him in such a big deal, so he read the translation immediately. If, as Chen Pengnian said, Zhenwu completely agreed to their request, and although the Spanish prisoners of war did not agree to completely release it, they agreed to release it halfway. This may be because of the insufficient loading capacity of the warship merchant ship. After pondering a little, he asked: "Have you ever notified Fu Han and Liu Zhisheng?"

"Return to the prince, you have already sent people to spread the horses." Chen Pengnian bowed slightly and said, "In addition, the subordinates also sent the horses to the commander of the Spanish Far East Fleet Angel."

Yinyi nodded slightly. Since Chen Pengnian was about to spread the horse, they would probably come to discuss immediately. After pondering for a moment, he stood up and said, "Since it is military affairs, we can't be slackened at all. Supervisor Chen will go to the second hall to the Marquis of the Second Hall. I will come after changing my clothes."

Outside the southern suburbs of Karoba City, Spanish military camp.

After the news that the Royal Navy of the Qing Dynasty and the Spanish fleet joined forces to defeat the United Kingdom and Portugal's Joint Navy, the entire Spanish military camp was filled with joy, and all the officers and soldiers were full of joy, forgetting that they were still prisoners of war. Since the Qing Dynasty formed an alliance with Spain, they naturally became allies, and their status would soon change greatly.

Angel, the commander of the Spanish Far East Fleet, was also extremely excited. The Qing Navy was indeed convinced, allied with Spain and openly intervened in the war in Europe. In this way, everyone's fate will be reversed. I believe that they will be able to return to Spain soon and be valued. Not only will they not be held accountable for defeat, but they will even be highly valued for bringing a turning point to Spain.

After hearing that Prince Dun Yinyi and the commander of the Qing Navy had submitted a memorial to ask the remaining ones to be included in the ranks of conquering Africa, Angel was even more excited. This was the manifestation of the Qing Navy's view of them as allies. It was much better to conquer Africa with the Qing Navy than to sweep away the indigenous people of the South Ocean here. He has long heard of the name of the Gold Coast of West Africa, not to mention that he still has the opportunity to make military achievements on this trip.

Early in the morning, he received a message from Kuaima and went to the Governor's Office. Angel had a premonition that the imperial edict of Emperor Zhenwu of the Qing Empire, the imperial edict that changed their destiny. While he was amazed at the speed of information transmission in the Qing Empire, he rushed to the Governor's Office.

However, Yin Yi changed into an official robe and walked into the second hall. Chen Pengnian, Fu Han, Liu Zhisheng and several generals who were already in the hall came in and quickly got up to greet him.

Yin Yi waved his hand and smiled and said, "No need to be polite, just sit down." As he said that, he sat down directly, glanced at everyone, and said, "I just came to send the army to war with orders. I will not interfere with the naval military affairs. Now that the emperor's decree has arrived, I want to know when the navy will set off?"

"The navy has already been prepared, and at a time can be pulled out at any time with a command." Fu Han said in a deep voice. His mission is to capture South Africa, expel or destroy the Dutch entrenched in South Africa, and control the Cape Peninsula and the seas along the coast. It is said that there are not many Dutch entrenched in South Africa, and most of them are immigrant people. The navy and army are not large in scale. He is quite dissatisfied with this and just wants to complete the task as soon as possible. Maybe he can go to Europe to have fun.

After hearing this, Liu Zhisheng, who was responsible for conquering West Africa, frowned slightly and said, "The navy can be set off at any time, but it takes time to transfer and load ships of various supplies, and Spanish prisoners of war also need time to gather."

Seeing Liu Zhisheng mentioning logistics supplies, Chen Pengnian pondered for a moment before saying, "As long as the supply of food and medicinal materials and other supplies, it will be loaded in three days. However, the Spanish prisoners of war who were drawn again may take several days to arrive at Garopa." After a slight pause, he continued: "Another, Prince Yi, Yinxiang, also sent a pigeon letter, and the emperor issued an order to win a great victory in Europe, open a European route, and publish the news of the navy's conquest of Africa and detours Europe in the Beijing News."

Everyone here was stunned when they heard this. What does this matter have to do with the navy's expedition? Thinking a little, Liu Zhisheng tentatively said: "The meaning of Chen Tutai, there will be merchant ships coming to Garopa. How can we follow the navy to Africa and Europe?"

"No," Chen Pengnian said in a deep voice: "Africa, Europe is the biggest object of the Qing Dynasty's foreign trade, and maritime trade is also the most important route. In order to conquer European victories and launch European routes, a group of bold maritime merchants will definitely be willing to follow the navy to Europe. When Africa finds out, maritime merchants have always been brave and courageous."

As soon as he finished speaking, a personal guard reported at the door: "I'll see you outside the marquis."

"I came just right, ask him about the gathering of Spain." Yinyi ordered: "Let him come in."

After Angel came in to see him, Chen Pengnian said: "Given the limited capacity of the warships, the emperor only allowed half of the Spanish officers and soldiers who stayed in the South China Sea to conquer Africa with the navy."

Only half of the people were allowed to go to the war, Angel couldn't help but feel disappointed. However, he felt relieved. The carrying capacity of warships and merchant ships was indeed limited. They not only had to transport troops, but also had to carry food and ammunition supplies. He hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you for your kindness in the Emperor of the Qing Empire." After that, he immediately said, "However, can the treatment of Spanish soldiers who stayed in South China Sea be improved?"

Chen Pengnian glanced at him and said, "General Angel, are the Spanish soldiers unwilling to conquer the indigenous peoples in the South China Sea?"

"No, no, we are happy to serve the Qing Empire." Angel hurriedly explained: "I mean control. Can the officers and soldiers who are on the offside in Karopa move freely? The Qing Empire and Spain are now allies, isn't it?"

After hearing this, Fuhan couldn't help laughing secretly. The gold, silver, jewelry and goods obtained by these poor Spanish prisoners of war collected from the South China natives were nominally owned by their private property. In fact, the money they received was exploited by the outrageously expensive food and ammunition supplies in the military camp. It was not for them to long for freedom.

"Now that the two countries are allies, they will naturally improve. However, now is not the time to discuss this issue." Chen Pengnian nodded and said, "How many days will it take for Sulawes' Spanish soldiers to return to Karopa?"

Angel pondered for a moment and said, "You can arrive within seven days, but now one, five hundred and a thousand people in the military camp can go out to sea at any time."
