In addition to the prepared troops, an offensive plan was drawn up. Using the Philippine Islands as a military base, the Spanish Expeditionary Force sought four routes to attack China, believing that the best route would be through the Strait of Magellan.

There was also a detailed colonial plan – not to reduce the Chinese population too much, and the disappearance of the population meant the disappearance of wealth. After the invasion of China, the Chinese government was retained in order to maintain its prosperity and wealth. Let those who participated in the expedition know that this expedition was not to deal with the enemy, but to be able to preach freely in China. Invading China should be done in a cautious and gentle manner, and too many crimes should not be committed against the Chinese people. Anyway, the slogan is loud, and the Spanish colonizers themselves don't know whether they believe it or not, and it's about the same as the "Greater East Asia Co-Tolerance Sphere" in another time and space.

In addition, it was emphasized that after the successful invasion, Spain could use the materials obtained in China to attack its own enemies. China can also provide crews for Spanish sailing ships, and Spain can obtain gold, raw silk, silk, and exquisite handicrafts. The king of Spain could receive a large amount of taxes and profits from China. After the conquest of China, Spanish officers and soldiers were promoted, and many Spaniards settled in China and were knighted.

And for the better colonization of Spain in China. emphasis on building a large number of schools to inculcate Spanish culture in the Chinese; A large number of churches were built and Catholicism was propagated. 58 archbishops, bishops and one archbishop in China; the establishment of a new military system of taxation; Create a series of titles......

In addition, the proposal also recommended that a large number of Chinese women be married by Spanish citizens, and that they should raise mixed-race offspring to rule China. The kinship and interest groups composed of these people would consolidate Spanish rule in China......

But it is undeniable that the whole plan is quite rigorous and serious. And it is quite a pity that this ambition was given to the Spanish colonists by the Ming Dynasty itself. The rebellion of several decades ago suddenly exposed the weakness of the Ming Dynasty and the incompetence of the army. It was precisely because they had heard from Western sailors and the Japanese that dozens of Japanese could swagger to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, which made the Spaniards unable to sit still and couldn't wait to swallow this piece of "fat".

That old man is none other than the current Governor, Salou? Rongirius. This time, Major Carlos was sent to China precisely to further investigate the "enemy situation". After all, Spain is far from the Far East, and it takes nearly a year to make a one-way trip. Prior to this, arrangements had been made for someone to return to Spain with a dozen chests of gold and a boatload full of Oriental treasures to lobby King Philip II, nobles, and government officials. If the lobbying is successful, the expeditionary force should almost set off from the mainland, right?

Before boarding the ship, Major Carlos bowed respectfully to Longchiro: "Your Excellency, I will not fail in my mission!" ”

And the governor of Longquil smiled back: "Major, God bless you!" Remember, on the other side of the sea, in addition to the glory of God, we will also have our honor and infinite gold! ”

In Honshu, Japan, Hideyoshi Hashiba (later renamed Toyotomi Hideyoshi) is standing on the city wall, this castle is newly built from the site of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Osaka Castle, the majestic is called "the unparalleled city of the Warring States" by the outside world. Yuchai Hideyoshi smiled slightly, full of pride, such a city can be worthy of a hero like me!

Remembering that he was born in poverty, he was abused by his stepfather since he was a child, and he couldn't bear to run away from home. Later, he wandered into the rivers and lakes and became a ronin, and was lucky to enter Matsushita Kabei's house as a helper, but was slandered by a group of shameless villains in the back, and was finally kicked out of Matsushita Kabei's house.

In this desperate moment, he defected to the Owari Oda family, and rose from a person who was not even a samurai to one of the four major army commanders of Oda Nobunaga. He was grateful for the kindness of Oda Nobunaga for his life, but as soon as the Honnoji Temple changed, Oda Nobunaga and his heir's eldest son died in rebellion. Then he defeated the rebellious Mitsuhide in the Battle of Yamazaki. Hideyoshi Hashiba also got his wish and inherited most of Oda Nobunaga's inheritance.

By this time, Hideyoshi Hashiba was already a strong soldier and a small man, and he became the daimyo with the most hope of ending the Warring States Rebellion. Although there are still daimyo such as Oda Nobunaga's second son, Oda Nobuo, and Tokugawa Ieyasu on the inside, there are still local daimyo fighting in the outer corners. But Yushiba Hideyoshi is already very confident, and sooner or later he will be in the world.

However, at this time, Hashiba Hideyoshi had already faintly seen the hidden worries of the future, those daimyoshi with good intentions needed to be assigned and placed, and those loyal subordinates who followed him also needed to be rewarded. However, the main island of Japan is so narrow and crowded that there are not so many places at all. That would require a large area of abundance.

I think that in the legend of the ronin, the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the sea is vulnerable and rich. Hideyoshi Hashiba couldn't help but look in that direction. There's the Korean Peninsula and the whole continent!

……

The wind was cold, and on a hill outside the Great Wall of Xuanfu, hundreds of horsemen escorted an old general who was also looking into the distance. This old general is Qi Jiguang, and he, together with other generals, leads the most powerful hundreds of thousands of nine-sided legions in the Ming Dynasty. Even when the coastal pirates were at their worst, the imperial court didn't think it was a big deal, thinking that there was no need to kill chickens, and there was no need to dispatch this army at all!

However, at this time, Qi Jiguang was already disheartened. The situation in the court was turbulent, and he lost his sacred heart, and he stayed at the border for a short time. Looking at the north, the old general couldn't help but sigh softly: "Feng Wolf Juxu, rest in this life!" ”

A lifelong ambition, but leaving the last regret. Qi Jiguang turned the horse's head and left first. Snowflakes fall, leaving only a long sigh......

……

Jingjiazhuang.

Accompanied by Li Kang and the others, Qin Bai inspected a circle of those who had just started. As soon as he left, he ordered: "Prepare more cotton clothes and quilts, many of them are still wearing single clothes." ”

At this time, Cao Dacai was still a little incredulous: "Big boss, do you really take it all?" ”

Qin Bai smoked a cigarette and said with a smile: "Since you are here, of course you will accept them all!" ”

Cao Dacai was speechless, and could only exchange a very helpless look with others.

Back in his yard, there were bursts of congratulatory cheers everywhere. Qin Bai took the sea bowl full of wine and held it high: "Thank you friends!" Let's get drunk today! ”

……

Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall.

Feng Sihai was listening to Ah Jian's report. He suddenly asked strangely, "What does Bai Er want those useless people for?" Did you really take all those women and children? ”

Ah Jian nodded, and seemed a little confused: "I really promised to accept it." There is no ambiguity at all. ”

Feng Sihai became thoughtful. After a while, he "poofed" and smiled: "It's funny!" From now on, as long as Bai Er is mentioned on the rivers and lakes, who doesn't praise him for his righteousness? ”
