In August of the ninth year of Tai'an, under the order of Zhang Lingyang, Han Liang, commander-in-chief of the Great Zhou Royal Navy stationed in Borneo, took the lead in attacking Luzon in the northeast.

Originally, Luzon was also a colony of Franc Machine, and since Borneo was occupied by the Great Zhou, Luzon and Franc Machine's domestic connection was completely severed.

In addition, there were not many colonists on Luzon Island, so Han Liang occupied Luzon in only two months.

In November of the ninth year of Tai'an, the Royal Navy of the Great Zhou, which had just captured Luzon, had not had time to repair, and under the leadership of the commander-in-chief Han Liang, it continued to attack the Dutch on Java Island non-stop.

The national power of the Netherlands is even worse than that of the Franco.

So even though the island of Java was larger than Luzon, it only took a month for the Royal Navy of the Great Zhou to occupy the Dutch people entrenched on the island of Java.

So far, the entire Nanyang has completely become the back garden of the Great Zhou.

When the news reached Luoyang, it was already in the second month of the lunar month.

After Zhang Lingyang learned about it, he naturally rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, which can be said to be very lively.

But at the same time, Xiaofuzi told Zhang Lingyang another headache.

That is, now the eunuchs in the palace are becoming more and more insufficient.

Since the spring of the ninth year of Tai'an, Zhang Lingyang has made a clear decree that the royal family will no longer accept the people of Da Zhou as eunuchs.

Although less than a year has passed, in this year, many old eunuchs have been released from the palace one after another, but there are no new eunuchs to fill in, so it is inevitable that people are a little stretched.

After Zhang Lingyang found out, he smiled disapprerovingly: "Aren't there a lot of captured English, Francophiles and Dutch people in Tianzhu and Nanyang, select a group from among them to castrate, and your celebrant will carefully train and fill the palaces, won't there be enough manpower!" ”

"But long live the Lord!" Xiao Fuzi hesitated, "Those Xiyi don't understand the language of my Great Zhou, I'm afraid that there will be some obstacles to communication!" ”

"What's this!" Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and said: "Let these Xiyi be in charge of sweeping first, and when they will speak Chinese fluently, when will they arrange better work for them!" ”

Zhang Lingyang didn't have to think about it at all, and solved the problem that had plagued Xiaofuzi for many days.

Speaking of those captured Xiyi, Zhang Lingyang thought of some questions again, so he instructed Xiao Fuzi: "Xiao Fuzi, immediately send an edict to Sun Dingzong and Han Liang, and the two will escort those captured Xiyi back to China to open mines, build bridges and pave roads." ”

There are more than 100,000 Xiyi captured in Tianzhu and Nanyang combined, and it is not okay to let them stay in the prisoner of war camp and eat and drink food for nothing.

So Zhang Lingyang came up with such a solution.

After solving the problem of prisoners of war, the next step is to start solving the problems in Tianzhu, Luzon, and Java.

How to deal with the problems of these three places, Zhang Lingyang actually has some headaches.

If it was only Luzon and Java, Zhang Lingyang could have canonized two more princes in the past.

But Tianzhu is different from Luzon and Java.

In general, Tianzhu is relatively civilized and has a large population.

If you canonize one or several princes to Tianzhu like this, I'm afraid that something will happen.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhang Lingyang decided to canonize the four princes and the fifth prince as the monarchs of Luzon and Java, and then divide Tianzhu into 33 states, and then select 33 nobles from the various ethnic groups in Tianzhu to be canonized as the monarchs of each state.

In this way, Tianzhu can be dismembered and many national contradictions can be avoided.

Of course, Zhang Lingyang's solution was opposed by many Tianzhu nobles. After all, how could they willingly surrender when they saw that they were being eaten meat and drank even a little soup and water themselves?

However, the thirty-three great nobles were very active, in the past, they were just nobles, but now they want to become the king of a country, how can they not be moved?

Therefore, under Sun Dingzong's planning, the thirty-three largest nobles in Tianzhu united and carried out a purge of those nobles who opposed it, thus completely controlling the situation in Tianzhu.

After that, Zhang Lingyang ordered that within the 33 states of Tianzhu, 10,000 troops would be stationed in each of the Great Zhou, and the military expenses would naturally be borne by the states of Tianzhu.

At this point, Da Zhou completely controlled the situation in Tianzhu.

When the news reached England, the members of the House of Lords were furious and scolded Da Zhou.

But apparently their breaches didn't help.

By this time, even the main battle faction in England,. also understands that it is basically impossible for England to recover Tianzhu again.

However, compared to the matter of Tianzhu, what made the English people even more angry was that they heard that the Great Zhou Emperor had selected no less than 1,000 prisoners of war to be castrated and filled into the Great Zhou Palace as eunuchs.

If the previous loss of Tianzhu was bearable by Yingji, then the castration of Yingji's prisoners of war, Yingli couldn't bear it at all.

Not only the three countries concerned, England, Franco, and the Netherlands, but even France, a country that has always supported the Great Zhou, also expressed great incomprehension of the Great Zhou's approach.

Even, at the banquet on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the French envoy Pierre questioned Zhang Lingyang about the castration of prisoners of war in person.

Zhang Lingyang just said that it was just hearsay.

Compared with the incomprehension of the Europeans, the subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty were accustomed to this matter.

In the eyes of the ministers of the Great Zhou, it is always much more humane to castrate their own people into the palace than to castrate their own people as eunuchs.

After all, no matter how the Europeans behaved, the subjects of the Great Zhou still thought that they were all barbarians.

Zhang Lingyang originally thought that this matter would be over.

Unexpectedly, after New Year's Day, Pierre suddenly entered the palace and presented himself with a letter of state.

In the letter of state, the Emperor of France expressed some difficulty in accepting castration and persuaded Zhang Lingyang to give up the matter.

Of course, Pierre said to his face that this was just an attitude of the emperor of his own country, and even if the Emperor of the Great Zhou really did this, France would understand.

However, Pierre said that basically all countries in Europe are now opposed to the castration of prisoners of war, and the three countries of England, Franco, and the Netherlands are clamoring that if Da Zhou really castrates their prisoners of war, then the three countries will unite to retaliate against Da Zhou.

Of course, this is also indispensable to the enemy of the Great Zhou of the Russ Kingdom. Alexander II, the emperor of the Rus' state, made it clear that the three countries of England, Franco, and the Netherlands could cross their own territories and attack the northwestern frontier of the Great Zhou.

War looks like it's about to break out again......
