However, Luo Sheng also has concerns, if the fleets of these two countries to Asia are wiped out, will it attract crazy retaliation from Spain and Portugal?

At this time, Spain and Portugal were still very powerful at sea, and their fleets were known as invincible in the world. That is, he met Luo Sheng and suffered defeat. Therefore, Luo Sheng contacted Luo Xin through Lu Cuiqiao, wanting to ask, whether to fight or not?

Roxin's intelligence clearly told Roxin that the Spanish and Portuguese fleets in the South China Sea were really weak at this time. They don't take the power of Asia seriously. Combined, the two countries were less than 10,000 people, and among these less than 10,000 people were black sailors and Indian soldiers. There were less than 2,000 soldiers who really belonged to Spain and Portugal, and in Luo Sheng's view, they were a rabble. If Luo Sheng wants to annihilate them all, it is really a sprint thing.

How could Spain and Portugal dare to use such a small amount of strength to come and want to conquer the South China Sea and make it their inner lake?

It's a matter of vision!

Geography limits their horizons, and there are no great powers in Europe, and they have never experienced a war of hundreds of thousands of battles like China. Take Spain as an example, the most famous in history, known as the most difficult battle of conquest of the Aztec kingdom in Spanish history, with only 800 soldiers dispatched. It's already a big war for them!

It took less than 200 soldiers to conquer the giant Inca Empire. Therefore, in their opinion, the two of them together have 10,000 people, which is already fully prepared.

What other force can stop them?

However, they ran into Luo Sheng in the South China Sea, and encountered ships and guns that were more advanced than them. If it weren't for Luo Sheng's scruples about Spain and Portugal's all-out revenge, he would have annihilated their expeditionary force long ago.

You must know that if the two countries really devote their whole country to war, they will have more than 200,000 troops and thousands of ships. This can't help but make Luo Sheng scruples. For the grasp of the overall situation, Luo Sheng knew very well that he was too far behind Luo Xin, so he didn't dare to make this decision alone.

Luo Xin scratched his head, he had been tired in the cabinet these days, and now he was a little dizzy when he encountered such a big thing all of a sudden. Let the subordinate make a cup of strong tea, and after drinking it, he slowly regained his clarity. First, I recalled history, carefully analyzed the current situation, and finally made a judgment.

He believed that it was almost impossible for either Spain or Portugal to attack the South China Sea with all their might. It's just too far apart. It will take at least nine months or so to get from them to the South China Sea. A large fleet, a huge number of soldiers, was bound to require a huge amount of supplies, which was an almost insurmountable difficulty for Spain and Portugal. And once the war breaks out, it is okay if it can be ended quickly, but once it drags on, without supplies, Spain and Portugal will not have a good result. The most important thing is that for such a long voyage, under the nautical conditions at that time, the loss rate was very high, the lowest would be 30%, and the highest could reach 50%. Before they fought, they lost half of their strength, which they could not afford.

Luo Xin's memories of history reminded him of this era, when Spain and Portugal were under enemy on all sides. Whether it is Spain or Portugal, in fact, the real land area is very small, and compared with the Ming Dynasty, it is not necessary to call it a projectile land. It's just that their sea power is very strong.

But this power was developed by taking advantage of the fact that the European powers did not realize the richness of the sea, and when those European powers realized the richness of the sea, they would definitely compete with Spain and Portugal. Now Spain and Portugal are in this situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides. Britain, Germany, Turkey, the Netherlands, etc., were all waging war against Spain and Portugal, and their power was completely pinned down in Europe. At this time, they simply did not have the strength to expedition to the South China Sea.

Moreover, at this time, Spain and Portugal were only forced to unite in the South China Sea. And in Europe there is no union, but a state of hostilities. There are frequent wars between the two countries. Eventually, Spain also annexed Portugal. How could Spain and Portugal make an expedition to Asia under these circumstances?

What else is there to say about this?

Then let's fight, we must fight!

And Luo Xin asked to take as many prisoners as possible, and then figure out the shipping route to Europe, and then Luo Sheng could try the shipping route and learn more about Europe.

After explaining the matter, Luo Xin began to deal with the affairs of the cabinet again.

In the cabinet, he is in charge of the ministry, which is very important. If it was before, Xu Jiejie couldn't give this piece to Luo Xin. It has to be handed over to the centrist Yan Na. However, recently Xu Jie's blow has been somewhat big, and he has been suppressed by Gao Gong in the cabinet. Gao Gong proposed to hand over the officials to Luo Xin, and also had the intention of letting Luo Xin clean up the Xu Party. He can't go into battle shirtless, it will be too ugly to eat like that.

Xu Jie was originally resolutely opposed, but then agreed.

On the one hand, he knew that his opposition might not be effective. On the other hand, although he is in a weak position now, Xu Jie has never been a person who does not know how to fight back. In his mind, with his relationship with Luo Xin, and with the purpose of handing over the officials to Luo Xin with a high arch, Luo Xin is bound to suppress Xu Party officials, so as long as Xu Jie catches Luo Xin and deliberately suppresses it, it will cause an uproar when the time comes, and Luo Xin will inevitably be accused of a public weapon for private use, at least improper handling of official duties. On the one hand, it is a suppression of Luo Xin, which can take the opportunity to let Zhang Juzheng raise a ranking and suppress Luo Xin, and on the other hand, it is also a counterattack against Gao Gong.

The officials of the entire capital were nervous at this time, and even the bigwigs were moving around. As a big man, you must be able to cover your little brother, otherwise why would your little brother follow you?

Once the hearts of the people are scattered, it is difficult to lead the team.

Of course, this time is also an excellent time to put up a banner and win people's hearts. As long as you can show the ability and attitude of a strong hood brother, there will naturally be people gathered under your banner to go up the sword mountain and go down the sea of fire for you in the future.

Luo Xin could easily distinguish the intentions of Gao Gong and Xu Jie. Luo Xin is not a dumbfounder, he has gone up and down in the officialdom, experienced two emperors, and walked up step by step from the bottom, he is an old oilman. So when Yun Zhiqiu asked him if he wanted to take the opportunity to get the people of the Xu Party, Luo Xin took a sip of tea and said:

"Neither of those two is a good thing."
