Chapter 1096: The Stubborn Spaniard

The arrogant Spaniards rushed into the Bengal region, this area is a weak area in the British colonial administration, in the Mughal era it belonged to the Han Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty in the south, belonged to the wilderness, belonged to the troubled land, it seems that where the dynasty belongs, but where the geographical environment, population beliefs, and ethnic environment all make the Mughal Dynasty feel a headache, the British control here is in addition to the port, which is simply a sheep herding state, which also makes the Spaniards only occupy the port city, It is equivalent to grabbing the land of Bengal from the British.

More than 30 warships, more than a dozen merchant ships, even if all the warships of the British docked on the coast of India came, it was impossible to fight with the Spaniards in the Indian Ocean, because this place was under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Empire, and without the permission of the Chinese Empire, it would be punished to fight casually in the sea area.

When did the British Navy, which once flaunted its might, also feel so aggrieved, and it was not a day or two, it was a full twenty years, during these times, the British did not fight for their rights in the sea, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean, they lost too many warships and personnel, through many negotiations, they only won to have warships on the coast of India, but not too much, commercial ships and warships in the first ten years they had no chance at all, and later they were completely docked in the seaports on the coast, A hundred nautical miles out to sea will be attacked by the Chinese naval fleet that is ready to attack.

The Spanish attack was an accident, even the Chinese Empire did not receive the news, because it was planned by the Military Intelligence Department, the Military Intelligence Department adheres to this secret and concealed principle, it is said that the Military Intelligence Department should belong to the Military Intelligence Department, but they can only be different from the Military Intelligence Department, they are independent and many people in the Chinese Empire do not know, and although the Military Intelligence Department participated, but the attack did not participate, just fooled them to make trouble for the British, but the people of the Military Intelligence Department planned to attack the entire colony to help the Spaniards gain a foothold.

So when the British found Xue Hong, the new official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to protest, Xue Hong, as a diplomat in the cabinet, did not know whether the military intelligence department of the Privy Council was involved in this matter, and many things, the military intelligence department would not report to the cabinet, and many major things that broke out or major things that had to be involved in the cabinet were only known to the prime minister, or the first deputy prime minister knew, and the deputy prime minister in charge below sometimes did not know at all, or when the prime minister reported or the Privy Council reported.

Moreover, the Ministry of Military Intelligence is a department of the Privy Council, but in fact it has great power, and it is very independent, operates independently, is directly responsible to the emperor, and indirectly manages by the Privy Council, and many things will not even be reported to the Privy Council, of course, most of the major or daily major matters will be reported to the Privy Council's General Staff, the Ministry of Defense, and other departments, or act jointly, most of the time everyone is doing their own thing.

To be precise, Zhang Qiang's rights to the Ministry of Military Intelligence are a bit too big, but there is a reason, first of all, he is a lonely emperor, and then he is a transformation of the original feudal dynasty, he doesn't want to see his sons or descendants follow the old path of the previous dynasty, once the dynasty is changed, then the bloodlines of these families are not killing each other, they are stupid like pigs and are manipulated by the ministers, that is, they are slaughtered like pigs, or brothers kill each other, What he needs is an imperial family like the Japanese emperor that can be stable for thousands of years, and of course he will not be like Japan and be used as a puppet by the shogunate.

Either like England, I enjoy happiness and you fight for yourselves, or like Germany in World War II, I will be president, and you can do whatever you want, and in the end there will be an ending, and I will crown you, and sometimes you can't help but listen to my opinions, all the arrangements are made to maintain a royal detachment.

This is a kind of planning, but the final result depends on the development of history, if it is like the early stage of the rise of our party and the Soviet Union, not to mention the transcendent status of the imperial family, it is good to be able to escape and save your life, of course, Zhang Qiang also has predictions for this result, that is, to set up countless governors, there is always a place to settle down.

With the development of events, there is always a place in each place that is in the process of development, and the change is not affected, and where the continuation of the family can be continued.

Looking back at the current situation, the Ministry of Military Intelligence actually doesn't know what happened to the ground, because they don't know that Zhang Qiang still has another capable and efficient intelligence department in his hands, similar to the Ming Dynasty's East Factory and a West Factory, but the Ming Dynasty put the things in the original darkness on the bright side, so the West Factory can't play a supervisory role, and although the Military Intelligence Department does not supervise the Military Intelligence Department, many intelligence personnel in the Military Intelligence Department will be secretly reported to Zhang Qiang's desk if they mutiny. Then Zhang Qiang warned or directly asked the Military Intelligence Department to kill the defective agents of the Military Intelligence Department through various means to eliminate hidden dangers.

After learning what happened and the British newspaper came up, Zhang Qiang contacted the Cabinet Foreign Ministry, yes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been transferred to the Cabinet for management. On the one hand, an order was issued for the Privy Council to send a military intelligence department to investigate the matter thoroughly, and to punish the Spaniards to a certain extent, and to give an explanation to the British, but also agreed to the actions of the military intelligence department to cause trouble and disrupt the British colonies.

Because in that place in Bengal, although the Chinese Empire has been advancing and occupying a lot of places, the ethnic groups are too complicated, and the relationship is also very complicated, there are British people, there are people of various nationalities, there are Indian princes and nobles, there are people who want to unify India, and there are people from the old Bangladesh, here has been conquered, but it has been unified, all kinds of forces are you have me, I have you, maybe a village center was once managed by officials of the Mughal Dynasty, thinking about the good of the Mughal Dynasty, Hoping that India will be restored to the Mughal dynasty again, there are also tribesmen who want to live freely and freely, and the few villages surrounding them are the forces and tribes of various princes and nobles.

Not far away, there were even British merchants or tribes that were kind to the British, while most of the rest were tribal groups loyal to the Bengali dynasty, or a small number of Han Chinese in Southeast Asia, or the remnants of Du Ge's rebellion, or tribes or common people who were still loyal to the Dutch.

In short, this place is difficult to be unified under one country, of course, there is also a method, the rise of the Chinese Empire, similar to the American method of cleaning up the Indians, and now the Spaniard fleet found by the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Department is doing this, but they can clean up here, but there is no manpower to fill it, if you get some pure Western Spaniards, it will be better, civilized people are always better than scattered tribes, and you can invite out in a civilized way in the future.

Why is it so troublesome, because the efforts of the Ministry of Military Intelligence here have failed, although it has occupied a lot of places, the Chinese Empire has also found a problem for itself, which cannot be cleaned up by the same method as in the Naga Mountains, and the British are staring at it, and the Chinese Empire is also looking for a way that can be completely solved, including quietly persecuting them, making them go to India without bloodshed, and go to find trouble for the people there, and create trouble for the British.

But this effect was ineffective, so when the Spaniards came, the people under the Ministry of Military Intelligence, mainly the person in charge of the area, secretly fooled the Spaniards.

In October 1706, just after the end of the rainy season, the 5,000 Spanish troops continued to advance inland into Bengal, clearing the rivers of the tribal or Indian princes and nobles, and the British garrison, who as colonists hoped to be in their own hands.

And use the materials purchased from the Chinese Empire this time to repair the ports and castles that were damaged by them, rectify the people here, and at the same time fight with the British, the British are also Westerners, the Spaniards took the initiative to attack them and broke the rules of the Chinese Empire in this area, and they also angrily organized their warships from the West in recent years, and at the same time mobilized tens of thousands of troops from the land to attack here under the organization of two thousand British.

Thirty years later, the two countries returned to the Far East, once again attacking and competing with each other over colonial interests in the Far East, while the Chinese Imperial Navy calmly watched from the sidelines, because the envoys of both sides were negotiating with the Chinese Empire in Yanjing, and the Chinese Empire would not reach any agreement with the two sides for a while.

This is deliberate, to make trouble by yourself, of course you have to see the results, although this is to break the rules you have set, in the future, the French and Americans will also come here to make trouble, but now the Chinese Empire is the only one here, and nothing will happen, opening the coast of the Chinese Empire, allowing them to do business with the Chinese Empire, is to improve the communication, liaison and relationship between the Chinese Empire and the West.

After all, it is impossible for the Chinese Empire to include the whole world, so it is too troublesome to manage, even if you want to, the Chinese Empire only dares to set up a core area and a satrapy to distinguish those who have not fully integrated into or driven them to join the economy of the Huaxia family, because it is too difficult.

Although the core area is changing with the development of science and technology, the development of agriculture and the development of the economy, and even the taste of the countryside and the county town in the 80s in later generations, the development is still very uneven and unreasonable.

In the face of the aggressiveness of the British, the Spaniards withdrew the soldiers and horses they sent, and also recruited people in Bengal, pulling more than 10,000 balls, and without doing anything, the tribal warriors who liked to fight and the soldiers of the remnants of the rebellion of the Chinese Empire organized an indigenous army to confront the British.

The Spaniards never yielded to the British, especially in this part of the Far East.
