"Why not?"

Hearing Huang Zongxi say this, Xu Zhong frowned.

Yu Guozhen sent him to Europa, accompanied by a sea overlord like the Huaqing, but he didn't let him go back to do some business, Yu Guozhen asked him to go to Europa to establish order!

This is a nearly 30-year plan, if this order is established, the products made by Huaxia's machines will sweep the world, and the ideas exported by Huaxia will become the mainstream of the world.

Obviously, the Chinese culture, with its well-developed social principles, can play a huge role in Europa, which is disillusioned with monotheism. The monarchs of Europa were also willing to use Chinese culture to counter the declining influence of the church and stabilize their rule.

Therefore, Xu Zhong was full of confidence before he came, and felt that Yu Guozhen's 30-year plan seemed to be a bit conservative, and in his opinion, fifteen to twenty years would be enough to complete this task.

"100,000 miles by sea, launching an expedition, the labor is very heavy, and the profit is very light. In the current situation of my China, I only need to recuperate and recuperate, and train my troops with the small barbarian states that are not open to the eyes around me, and in another hundred years, it will become the trend of Datong in the world, so why rush for a while? Huang Zongxi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is too anxious, he just wants to complete this great cause in his lifetime, but he can't do it quickly." Xu Buzheng, you are the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and it is right for you to be the above expression. ”

Xu Zhong looked at him stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Why are you laughing at me?" Huang Zongxi said unhappily.

"Your Majesty has said that Huang Taichong is confined to the view of the door, so the instrument is a little narrow, but he is still a sincere gentleman, and he wants me to listen to Mr. Euros's analysis of the current situation in Europa after I come to Europa. Now it seems that His Majesty really has the wisdom to understand people. ”

"The dispute between me and His Majesty is a dispute between the gates, and there is also a personal grudge. Advice is for state affairs and official business. If you are too chong and not talented, how dare you abolish the public for personal reasons? When Huang Zongxi said this, his old face was slightly red.

These words are somewhat similar to what Fang Cai Bu Xiuqiu said, so he plagiarized it.

"Mr. Taichong, don't worry, I came this time, Your Majesty asked me to set up the merits of Ban Chao, Chen Tang, and Wang Xuance, instead of Li Jing and Ma Yuan."

Smart people can understand it at a glance, and Xu Zhong's words made Huang Zongxi suddenly understand that Yu Guozhen's so-called establishment of the Europa order was not to directly send troops to intervene on a large scale, but to use the technique of the Zongheng family to use diplomatic means to woo, divide, and suppress.

"The countries of Europa are not stupid, how can they fall for this?"

"It is enough to lure it with profit, and to coerce it."

Compared with China, the internal contradictions between the countries of Europa can be said to be eternal, and Yu Guozhen's plan is very clear, the first step is to dismember England and make it forever lose the opportunity to form a unified and powerful island country. But Yu Guozhen could not have sent a large-scale expeditionary force from distant China, and he could only maintain a detachment of more than a dozen warships and a marines of less than 5,000 men, so the dismemberment of England would require the help of Europa's own power, which was deeply contradictory: France, the Roman Church, Spain and the Netherlands, and the Swedes would be happy to get a piece of the feast of partition.

"They're not that easily fooled, are they?"

"Why were you fooled?" Xu Zhong smiled again: "The Spaniards have been repeatedly defeated in the previous Thirty Years War and the Franco-Spanish War, their colonies are not as good as before, and they have lost the Netherlands, and now they are overwhelmed and are hoping to get strong support, and the English have repeatedly robbed Spain's treasure ships, and the two sides have a deep hatred. The French and the English royal family still have disputes, and if they can take advantage of the English, France will definitely not be left behind. Moreover, I promised these two nations a part of the English colonies in the Americas. ”

Huang Zongxi was shocked, shook his head and said: "How can this be, England is just a small country in the sea, and France has gradually become the overlord of Europa, you can't cut meat and feed tigers!" ”

"After England, there is France." Xu Zhong is meaningful and authentic.

Huang Zongxi was dumbfounded, no wonder Yu Guozhen will have a decades-long diplomatic layout, it seems that Yu Guozhen wants to dismember all the great powers that may rise in Europa, at least to cause them huge trouble, so that they will be on fire in all directions, and they will not be able to develop themselves well for the time being. By the time they put out the fire and develop themselves, Huaxia had already taken the absolute lead.

They can only exist as a chaser, not a challenger.

"That being the case, I have nothing to say...... Here's what happens in England today......"

Huang Zongxi gave out all his knowledge of England on the boat, Xu Zhong listened carefully, and took out a pen to record it. England was also full of internal contradictions at this time, Cromwell's remnants were still there, and the struggle between various sects was very fierce. He had only been talking for a while, when he heard a cannon sound, the Huaqing shook, Huang Zongxi looked up in surprise, and found that before he knew it, they had already caught up with those Yingji warships!

This is an inevitable thing, the English battleships are all sail ships, and they used to sail with the wind and the speed was not slow, but when they returned to the sea, it was a headwind and the speed was greatly reduced. The three warships that the Huaxia Navy came to meet this time were all steamships, and the headwind was nothing to them, so it only took a moment to catch up.

As an ironclad battleship, the Huaqing's gunfire was much more ferocious than that of the English, and a single blow from the bow gun blew a large hole in one of the opposing warships. Today, after 20 years of development and two generations, Huaxia's chemistry has made many achievements, and gunpowder can highlight this achievement. When the shell that penetrated the hull exploded, the front half of the ship was blown to pieces, and in the blink of an eye, it sank into the water, turning into a whirlpool and debris floating on the water.

"How...... How can it really be fought? ”

Huang Zongxi, who once shouted "Where is our ironclad gunboat", was a little stunned when he saw this scene, but he didn't expect that Yu Dahai came and said that he would open the cannon, and he didn't mean to negotiate at all.

Xu Zhong was also a little stunned, their primary purpose this time was to pick up Huang Zongxi and the others, not to start a war with the English immediately, after all, his diplomatic twist had not yet been completed, and with the dozen or so ships of the West Sea Detachment alone, it was impossible to defeat such a maritime power as England.

"I'll take a look." He spoke, got up, and got out of the cabin, heading for the bridge.

In the middle of the bridge, Yu Dahai's eyes widened and he was scolding: "Grandma, I let you practice artillery on weekdays, but I haven't seen you so accurate, why did you hit it with one shot today?" Didn't you say that you would scare it first, why did you aim so accurately? ”

"Haha."

There were people around him who didn't dare to laugh, but the naval instructor who followed him smiled.

"What should I do?" Someone asked cautiously.

"What to do? What kind of is that my Huaxia warship sank a pirate ship that tried to invade the people of Huaxia, do you want me to go up and apologize to the Yingren, saying that I will be gentler next time if I accidentally hurt you? ”

Yu Dahai's joke with lust made everyone laugh, and everyone knew in their hearts that this cannon would not be held accountable. At this time, Xu Zhong pushed the door in, just heard Yu Dahai's last sentence, and said with a smile: "Brother Dahai, I've been suffocated these days, didn't you come to Europa to find a golden retriever girl to defeat the fire?" ”

He knew that Yu Dahai was born in Haikou, he has always been rude, and he likes to talk about jokes, but he will only be more restrained when he is around Yu Guozhen and Luo Jiuhe, so he will do Yu Dahai's favor as soon as he opens his mouth.

Yu Dahai was really happy: "I only say that I love this tune, I didn't expect Xu Buzheng that you are also a good person, but the smell of the golden retriever girl is really bad, I spread the world all over the world, only the strange smell of the woman over there in Tianzhu can outweigh the smell of the golden retriever girl, no wonder our Chinese perfume is sold here!" ”

Everyone was even more happy, Huang Zongxi listened to it, and couldn't help shaking his head, saying in his heart that Yu Guozhen finally had a time to look at people, this Yu Dahai was lustful and greedy, and he was afraid that he would make a mistake.

He didn't know that Yu Dahai was rough on the surface, but he was a cautious man in his heart, he didn't hide his mouth, but he acted in a measured manner.

"Brother of the sea, wave the flag to each other, let them stop the boat and accept the inspection!" Xu Zhong said after laughing.

He heard Huang Zongxi mention the escape and knew that these English warships were trying to detain them in the name of stopping for inspection, so he immediately returned to him. Huang Zongxi was very happy when he heard this, and Xu Zhong explained to him again: "A few years ago, a few corrupt Confucians were bribed by the Yi people and wrote to Your Majesty, saying that the Chinese emperor should be lenient to distant people and appease with gentleness, so he wanted to give the Yi people tax exemption - Your Majesty was furious, and let those rotten Confucians give five sheepskins away, and then drafted a law, which is the "Chinese Foreign Affairs Reciprocity Law", I don't know if Mr. Huang has heard of this law? ”

Of course, Huang Zongxi had heard of this law, but he didn't know that there was a story behind the formulation of this law. This law mentions the norms of Huaxia's exchanges with foreign countries, that is, reciprocity, courtesy, if you sincerely come to do business, Huaxia is willing to carry it, and everyone will get rich together, but if you have bad intentions towards Huaxia, anyone who insults the prestige of Huaxia and infringes on the interests of the Chinese people, Huaxia will repay it twice!

Yu Guozhen was fed up with the kind of thing that a small country would jump up and down to make trouble for Huaxia, and he couldn't look down on the Ming Dynasty as a self-proclaimed heavenly kingdom to give away the national interests in vain, and as a result, he left the experience of future troubles. In his view, in foreign affairs incidents, safeguarding the interests of the people of the country should always be the first priority, and the so-called diplomacy is no trivial matter, and it should be that the interests of the people of the country are no trivial matter.

"I've heard of it." Huang Zongxi nodded.

"That's it, since the English dare to fire at the ship flying our Huaxia Golden Dragon Flag, then they have fired a few cannons, and we will have to return a few cannons." Xu Zhong sneered: "Brother Dahai, if they don't stop the boat for inspection, just open fire, and sink as much as they can!" ”

Yu Dahai didn't expect that the order given by Xu Zhong, who had always been smiling and looking kind to others, would be so iron-blooded, he was stunned, and then smiled: "Okay, this is happy!" ”

The British naturally would not be captured, with the endorsement of Xu Zhong, the Chinese Navy did not spare any longer, after a bombardment, four more British ships were sunk, and a British ship pretended to surrender, wanting to enter the chord battle, but was recognized, and the marines passed by a burst of muskets, and naturally stopped.

When the full moon rose, the sea had returned to calm, Huang Zongxi raised his head to look at the moon, looking at the tattered that was still floating in the sea in the distance, and a strong sense of pride suddenly arose in his heart.

Even if it is thousands of miles away from the ocean, the bright moon of China still shines on this sea area! (To be continued)
