20,000 navy! Angel and Carlos both had a stiff face, and they had a few rounds of close fire with the musketeers of the Qing Navy under the city of Tianjin, and that scene is still maddening to think about it, and afterwards, they analyzed the wounds and penetrations of the deceased's bullets, and the penetrating power and lethality of the Qing Empire's muskets were much greater than those of the Spanish muskets.

What made them even more frightened was the speed of loading and the astonishing discipline and obedience of the musketeers of the Qing Dynasty, what would happen when 20,000 musketeers of such quality arrived in Europe? Spain is absolutely hard to resist.

As for leasing the port, the two thought about it for a while, and then realized that Yinzhen was referring to the example of Portugal leasing Macao in the Qing Empire, and leasing the port in Spain to expand maritime trade.

After pondering for a long time, Angel asked tentatively: "Since the Fourteenth Prince wants to send troops to Europe to assist Spain and France in confronting Britain, the Netherlands, Austria and other countries, what does the Fourteenth Prince plan to do with the more than 7,000 navies that have been captured?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh secretly, it seems that it was just the reason of leasing the port, and the profit was too small, these two people still couldn't believe it, and sighed slightly, he said: "Not only more than 7,000 of you, but also thousands of people in Luzon, of course, the Qing Dynasty not only wants to open direct trade in Europe, but also to open commerce in the Americas, for the Qing Dynasty, the port of Acapulco is a very good place." ”

Puerto Acapulco? Angel and Carlos were slightly stunned, it seems that the Qing Empire has also begun to take steps towards overseas expansion, the main role of the port of Acapulco is for trade in the Far East, without the Manila route, it will soon decline, and it will not have much effect on Spain, but if it is given to the Qing Empire, it can be said that there will be endless troubles.

With the Qing Empire having the bridgehead of the port of Acapulco in the Americas, Spain's overseas territories in the Americas, especially New Spain, would be directly threatened, but what were the overseas territories compared to the security of Spain itself in Europe? With the 20,000 navies of the Qing Empire, the Franco-Spanish alliance will definitely be able to reverse the decline, and even turn defeat into victory. The local area is not to be lost.

Besides, these matters should have been considered by King Philip V and his ministers, and had nothing to do with them, whether they could negotiate it or not, at least they could solve their own and the present embarrassing situation of the seven thousand captives, as long as these Qing navies did not attack Spain itself, they threaded the needle through it, and provided a chance for Spain and France, which were in a precarious situation, to turn the tables.

Thinking of this, Carlos couldn't wait to be tempted: "Is the fourteenth prince really helping us, not taking advantage of the fire to rob?" ”

Yin Zhen smiled slightly: "Do the two generals think that this king is so arrogant and ignorant that he can challenge the whole of Europe with 20,000 navies?" ”

As soon as they heard Yinzhen say that it was a challenge to the whole of Europe, not Spain, Angel and Carlos couldn't help but be a little surprised, this fourteenth prince actually knew the situation in Europe so thoroughly! It seems that those ministers in the country are going to have a headache.

Since the Qing Dynasty had no intention of attacking the mainland, Angel and Carlos were both relieved, and Angel continued to repeat the old words, "Fourteen princes, these thousands of captives. ”

Yinzhen said with a smile: "The Qing Empire is very sincere in sending troops to Europe to aid the Franco-Spanish alliance this time, and you, together with the captives of Luzon, can be sent back to Spain in batches and free of charge." ”

As soon as they heard this, Angel and Carlos immediately put their hearts at ease, as this was enough to prove the sincerity of the Qing Empire, and the two immediately stood up and knelt down and thanked: "Thank you very much, Your Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince, we are willing to serve you wholeheartedly." Seeing the two of them express their attitudes, Yinzhen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with the assistance of the two of them, the route of the expedition to Europe will not be a problem, at least the non-combat attrition on the voyage will be greatly reduced, nodded and said: "After the two of you return to Tianjin, immediately reorganize the troops, rush to Weihaiwei, and take a boat to Karopa." ”

As soon as they heard that they no longer had to stay in Tianjin, which was freezing in the cold weather, both of them were overjoyed, and immediately said in unison: "Honorable Order." ”

The reason why Yinzhen was anxious for them to rush to Karopa was because he didn't want to raise them in vain, since he wanted to aid Spain, it was naturally impossible for them to build roads, and in this half a year, let them exterminate the natives of Nanyang, which could not only sell them a great favor, but also save themselves a lot of trouble, and let the Spaniards bear the notoriety of slaughtering the natives of Nanyang.

Seeing that the banquet had been prepared, Yinzhen said with a smile: "The banquet has been prepared, please taste the oriental food today." ”

Yinzhen invited Angel and Carlos to a banquet in the Yin'an Palace, and they talked very happily during the banquet, but the backyard was crying at this time, and the third son Hongying and the fourth son Hongjun took the maid of the waiter and did not pay attention, in order to fight for a small bow, they fought hard, and Hongxuan's forehead was knocked out of a big bag by the small bow, and the crying was earth-shattering.

Qing Dynasty family law, the prince, the grandson, at least six years old, that is, on the grandfather to study, early in the morning at four or five o'clock to rush to the study to read, but Hongying, Hongyun two just six years old, the curriculum is simple, generally at 11 o'clock in the morning to return home, Hongchun, Hongming two brothers are not so easy, five o'clock in the afternoon to get out of school, and a year only two days off, New Year's Day is a full day, the New Year is two and a half days.

The small bow that the two fart children fought for was used by them to practice riding and shooting, and Hongjun's crying naturally frightened the maid of the waiter and the eunuch servants in the courtyard, and also alarmed the Fu Jin Hairuo who was chatting in the upper room, and the two of them followed the sound to the East Cross Courtyard, and when they saw the swollen bag on Hongjun's forehead, Wan Yan Hairuo's face sank.

The fourth Hongyun was born to Jin Hairuo, when she saw this scene, where did she not feel distressed, the maids and eunuchs in a room saw this situation, and immediately knelt on the ground, and the four maids who were in charge of taking care of them were not very old, but they were only eleven or two years old, and they were all children of the servants in the house.

Fang Fu Jin Jianing glanced at everyone before he scolded: "What are you still doing?" Why don't you hurry up and take the fourth master to the upper room to apply medicine? ”

Hai Ruo glanced at the four maids, and took Hongyun and Hongying out with them, and then Jia Ning asked, "What's the matter?" How can you make a big bag? You don't know that the prince is in the house? ”

"It's all, it's all the negligence of the slaves." A slightly bold maid spoke: "Fang Cai, Chang Er slipped at the gate of the courtyard, and the noise was quite loud, we were curious for a while to run to see the excitement, I never expected that the third master and the fourth master fought for the small bow, it was all the fault of the slaves and maids." ”

Yinzhen has been in the past six or seven years, nothing has come out, only these four sons, when he is fighting for the prince, he is worried that the opponent will have a demon moth on his heirs, so he is ordered to be strictly careful, and the whole government has taken care of these four masters.

Jianing thought about it, Hairuo has a soft temperament, although her heart hurts, it's a big deal to reprimand a few words, but Yinzhen is in the house, and she wants to ask for peace every day, and she can't hide it, I'm afraid that even a few of them will have to eat and hang, and she sighed for a moment before she said: "The four of you go and kneel at the door of the upper room, make a show, Chang Fujin is angry, and I will plead for that again." ”

The winter in the capital is cold, and the outdoor can be said to be dripping into ice, poor four little maids, this kneeling, that is, most of the hour, one by one kneeling hands and feet numb, the body is stiff. ..., in the upper room, the four little eunuchs also knelt in front of Jianing, who held the small bow in his hand and said, "This is the third master and the fourth master's small bow practicing riding and archery?" ”

The little eunuch in the lead was clever, knowing that it was this little bow that caused the trouble today, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Back to the master, there are rules in the palace, and the bow that the little master practices riding and archery must not wrap and wrap threads, and it is not the negligence of the minions." ”

As soon as Jia Ning heard this, he immediately turned his head and scolded lightly: "Two little masters, why did you just take a bow? ”

"The master is angry." The little eunuch kowtowed and said, "This little bow has just been made, and the minions will take one over and try it to see if the little master can pull it away?" ”

Sending Angel and Carlos away, Yinzhen returned to the backyard, ready to chat with a few Fujin, Lala is homely, he doesn't have much time in Beijing a year, and he is busy in Beijing when he returns to Beijing, so he doesn't have much time to accompany a few Fujin.

Entering the courtyard of the upper room, he saw four little girls standing on the ground like wooden stakes, Yinzhen knew that he had made a mistake, and when he got closer, he found that they were all little girls, but between the ages of eleven and twelve, he felt compassion in his heart.

When the four little girls saw that it was Yinzhen, they felt even more frightened, and they were busy kowtowing to say goodbye, but after kneeling for a long time, their bodies were stiff, and their movements were extremely stiff.

"What's going on here?" Yinzhen muttered softly, and then said: "Get up, go change your clothes, and then go to the room after the activity." ”

The four little girls were originally worried about being punished by Yinzhen, but they didn't expect Yinzhen to be a savior, so they immediately thanked Yin and got up to change their clothes.

Hairuo smelled Yinzhen's wine, so he instructed the maid next to him to bring the decanting soup that had been prepared a long time ago.

Yinzhen entered the house and went to the kang, and then retreated from all the maids and servants, and then took a few sips of tea before frowning and saying, "What mistakes did those four little girls make?" On a cold day, punish kneeling outside? ”

Hairuo and Jianing asked about this as soon as they saw Yinzhen sit down, and couldn't help but glance at each other, and Jianing whispered what had happened......
