As Zhenwu's condition stabilized, the government and the country were loose inside and outside the capital, and Kangxi was also much more relaxed and moved into the West Garden. However, he refused to interfere in the government affairs in the court. Every day, he not only treated and studied, but also supervised the study of the homework and studies of several emperors.

However, in more than a month, Zhenwu's condition gradually improved. He was able to get out of bed for a walk and review important memorials. The Qing Dynasty gradually returned to normal operation. Because of this sudden serious illness, the rectification of the administration of officials was delayed. In the blink of an eye, the Xia Sei was about to approach, and Zhenwu did not dare to act rashly. One was worried that it was too tired, and the other was worried that local officials would not be interested in government affairs and the other was worried that Xia Sei was affected.

Apart from issuing an edict to abolish the collection of fire consumption, Zhenwu did not have any follow-up measures. In fact, with the large circulation of silver dollars, the abolition of fire consumption was no longer abolished and did not cause much fluctuation. The Qing Dynasty and the country were particularly calm.

The Qing Dynasty was calm, but Europe was in chaos at this time!

The Southern Ocean Fleet of the Qing Dynasty, the Royal Navy of the Qing Dynasty, joined forces with the Spanish fleet to wipe out the Portuguese-British Combined Fleet in one fell swoop in the Battle of Sargris. The Southern Ocean Fleet of the Qing Dynasty then entered the Port of Tangier on the south coast of the Strait of Gibraltar, and Spain took back the Gibraltar Island ceded to Britain. In fact, it had unilaterally tore up the "Utrecht Peace Treaty" that had only been signed for several months.

Under the instigation and guarantee of Prince Yong of the Qing Dynasty, Spain did not stop and gathered 8,000 troops to join the Qing Dynasty's Nanyang Fleet and more than 5,000 marine forces to form 13,000 Qingxi Allied Forces on May 1st of the second year of Zhenwu. On the first day of the second year of Zhenwu, Spain launched a large-scale attack on Portugal, which was still in a state of declaration of war with Spain.

The Qingxi Allied Forces advanced westward from Badajos, conquering the city and territories, and rushed to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.

The whole country of Portugal was shocked, and European countries were also in an uproar. They immediately turned their attention to Portugal. While mobilizing heavy troops to defend Lisbon, Portugal King Joao V mobilized a large number of troops to recruit mercenaries and immediately sought help from Britain, which had an offensive and defensive alliance with him.

Britain was extremely dissatisfied with the Gibraltar Island that had been abandoned before it was warmed up. In addition, it had an offensive and defensive alliance treaty with Portugal. In any case, it did not make any sense to stand by. It immediately sent a fleet and mobilized an army of 15,000 people to head straight to Lisbon.

On June 12, the Qingxi-Western Allied Forces crossed the Tejo River and were intercepted by more than 30,000 British and Portuguese Allied Forces on the outskirts of Lisbon.

In the battle of Moshkawidi, Lin Wei and Fu Anding concentrated more than 200 artillery pieces to saturate the shelling, giving the Europeans a very vivid lesson. The status of artillery as the king of war was also laid down by the battle. However, Britain and Portugal paid the price of 12,000 people.

Two days later, Lisbon fell, and Portuguese King Joao V and a group of ministers and nobles boarded British warships and fled to England. The Qing and Western Union then ransacked Lisbon. Lin Wei and Fu Anding were quite humble. They gave all gold, some merchant ships, sailor crew members, and other spoils to Spain.

In the battle of Moshkawidi, the Qing and Western Union defeated the strong with weak defeat and defeated the British and Portuguese coalition forces three times their strength. News spread, and the whole of Europe was shocked, and France was even more obsessed with it. Even Sweden, which fought in Northern Europe, Tsarist Russia was also attracted by it. Of course, Tsarist Russia was very happy about this. Such a change in the battle situation was very beneficial to him.

The British, who suffered heavy losses and were angry, gathered the Netherlands, the Roman Empire, Austria, Portugal, Brandenburg, Savoy and other countries to form an alliance to declare war on the Qing Empire, Spain, and France again.

The war between France and Charles VI and the Roman Empire was not over. No matter whether they were willing to fight or not, they had no way out. They had to bite the bullet and win over their brother to fight. At the same time, they sent ministers to rush to Tangier Port, strongly demanding an alliance with the Qing Empire and requesting aid.

The Qing Nanyang Fleet not only showed great power in the Battle of Moshkavidi, but also collected 600,000 taels of gold and more than 20 merchant ships. It was a full load. Prince Yong Yin naturally would not refuse the alliance. However, when it comes to landing assistance, he said that he was helpless on the ground, on the grounds that he wanted to rest and recuperate his troops, ammunition and food, etc. were insufficient logistics supplies. However, he still sent an officer observation group to France. Of course, the large Qing envoys had already used their skills at this time and were sent to the allies.

In addition, Yin was not without any expression. He signed a series of trade treaties with France and expressed that he would give full help in times of crisis. France naturally knew that this was waiting for a price, so he had to patiently send envoys from Marseille to Tangier Port in detail.

The task of the Nanyang Fleet was to provoke wars in Europe. Now that the wars in Europe have begun, Yin did not want to spend his troops in Europe, and Shi Shipiao would not agree to the large-scale naval landing and combat. In his eyes, these naval soldiers with practical combat experience are treasures, so how could they let them work hard for France?

The ox head was not right, so naturally he couldn't reach an agreement. However, the details of the trade were quickly finalized. France, Spain and other small countries recruited a large number of crew members and sailors, organized a huge fleet to join the Nanyang Fleet. A small fleet set sail at the end of the year and began to sail to the Qing Dynasty.

However, at this moment, a fleet of eight warships and twelve merchant ships slowly sailed into Tangier Port. The Qing Navy's Golden Dragon Banner was hung on the ship. As soon as they entered the port, they saw the golden dragon flag flying high at the port, and cheers burst out from the ship.

The cheers from the Nanyang Fleet were heard. After waiting for the docking, they realized that it was a fleet sent by Liu Zhisheng, the commander of the conquest of West Africa. In addition to gun barrel ammunition, tea cloth and medicinal materials, there were a large number of naval soldiers on the merchant ship.

When everyone saw it, they knew that Liu Zhisheng was sending someone to receive the warship they seized.

It was heard that Zhenwu sent a large army to conquer West Africa and South Africa, and began to enfeoff West Africa. Yin and Shi Shipiao strongly supported this and replaced half of the new soldiers to send them to the veterans, allowing them to depart more than ten three- and fourth-level battleships seized to West Africa, and agreed that the small fleet would exchange each other once a month.

As the war broke out in Europe, Africa opened immediately.

Liu Zhisheng originally planned to steadily and gradually expand with Accra as the center. He did not want to dominate West Africa within the time limit, so as not to arouse public anger and attract major revenge from maritime powers such as Britain and the Netherlands. Since he learned that Europe was in a melee and received a large number of third- and fourth-level battleships and experienced veterans, he was like a tiger with wings. There was nothing to worry about.

Immediately, I commanded the fleet to clear all the pirates on the sea surface of the Gulf of Guinea. Whether it was real or fake pirates, they would be swept through. They forced all passing merchant ships to pay tolls and hang the Triangle Green Dragon Flag. When encountering Qing naval warships, they must lower the flags and pay tribute, stop the ship for inspection, otherwise they will be looted.

Of course, he had not stopped the land conquest. Over the years, he had already figured out the situation. European countries had pitifully few troops in West Africa, and were basically mercenaries. Now he was without any scruples. He would naturally not be conservative anymore. He immediately divided his troops into three groups and directly sent warships to attack the two ports of Lagos and Douala. He quickly controlled the entire Gulf of Guinea with a point and led the surface. The slave fortresses built along the coast of European countries were completely vulnerable under the attack of sea and land. By the end of the year, the entire Gulf of Guinea would be under the control of the Qing Dynasty.

Countless captured European slave-captured people have now transformed themselves into slaves. However, Liu Zhisheng had no intention of selling them, but instead organized them into countless small slave-captured teams to continue their old profession - to capture slaves and capture slaves for the Qing Dynasty.

In South Africa, after discovering that the local indigenous blacks were completely vulnerable, Fuhan immediately changed his approach and divided the large group into several small teams, and went deep into the mainland. While capturing slaves, he also explored whether the local blacks had gold at hand.

After Karopa transferred the second batch of reinforcements and a large number of mineral exploration and smelting craftsmen from Japan, he opened a second landing site and established a stronghold in Matola in the east coast of Maputo Bay. He also adopted a team-depth approach to capture slaves and visiting the gold at hand of local black people.

However, his method did not work. Half a year passed, and the blacks in South Africa did not find gold at all. Until the spring of the following year, news of the discovery of gold mines was finally heard from the Matola stronghold.

When he arrived at Matola a month later, the news he heard was incredible. He found not a gold mine, but four or five large gold mines were discovered in a radius of hundreds of miles!

The first thought in Fuhan's mind was to kill people to silence him. After pondering for a while, he gave up this unrealistic idea and immediately ordered the blockade of the news and mobilized a large army to station the gold mine discovery site. After the Pegasus checked on the spot, he sent a letter to inform the Karoba and sent a fleet back to Karoba to report the news.

In May of the third year of Zhenwu, in the summer, the Forbidden City.

Zhenwu received a secret letter from Karoba in Yangxin Temple. South Africa discovered a huge gold mine, and it was a large group of gold mines beyond imagination! He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he put down the pigeon letter. He knew that South Africa's gold reserves were large, but he didn't know that South Africa's gold mines were actually a group of gold mines, the largest reserve country in gold. It seems that it is really well-deserved.

I just don’t know how much gold can be mined every year with the current mining technology. One ton is 32,000 taels, and ten tons is fine, right? It’s only 4 million taels of silver. It’s a good idea to mine twenty tons a year. Manpower mining is still too slow. I don’t know when the British steam engine improvement will be released. Now that there are wars in Europe, I don’t know whether it will come out in advance or delay the time will come out. This is a confusing question.
