Tianjin prisoners? This is a good suggestion, Yinzhen's heart moved, it is impossible to hide such a big victory, a group of clan disciples are counting on their military exploits to be knighted, and all the members of the Fujian Navy Division are also counting on the merits, and they will definitely rush to report the secret.

Besides, with this fleet, the navy can also be built in a straightforward manner, this is the first battle of the navy, and it must be rewarded with a large reward to boost the morale of the army and improve the status of the navy.

It's just that, in this way, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of high merit, although Kangxi is old, but his desire for power is undiminished, such fanfare, for him Yinzhen, but it is not a good thing, the title, he has been sealed to the prince, there is no seal, reward? He is rich and rivals the country, what reward can Kangxi give him?

There is nothing to seal, there is no reward, his good days are just afraid that it will come to an end, thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but be interested, a big victory together, it is not good for him, the disadvantage is possible, the strength of the navy is so strong, will Kangxi take the opportunity of the navy to build an army and deprive him of control?

Just thinking to himself, Yinxiang had already reminded in a low voice: "The naval warships have already come, waiting for you to give orders." ”

Yinzhen came back to his senses, glanced at the naval warships that were gradually gathering, his face sank, and he shouted in a low voice: "If you leave your post without an order, aren't you worried about a fraudulent surrender?" The order was to send a warship to inform the Spanish fleet, ordering them to sail the fleet to the port of Magong in Penghu to be surrendered, and the squads were to monitor along the way and not to relax. ”

Although Yinxiang is open-minded and informal, but his mind is very sensitive, after seeing that Tianjin was proposed to sacrifice prisoners, Yinzhen was silent, and immediately knew what he was worried about. But how can you reward the old fourteen? If the reward is light, it will inevitably fall into the reputation of unfair rewards and punishments, and if you reward them heavily, how can you reward the old fourteen?

Seeing that the navy squads returned separately, Yinzhen also fell into deep thought, those who have always been highly meritorious and shocked, if they want to be stable, they want to ask for the field, or cut their authority, but Yinzhen can't do it, he is the prince and the leader of the 14th Party, and he has made it clear that he wants to fight for the storage position, how can he ask for the field?

Self-reduction of authority, even more impossible, the navy is just starting now, it is the time for a big expansion, he gives up the navy at this time, and after five, six or ten years, the navy will not become a bunch of old soldiers, his previous efforts will be in vain, and the rapid development of Britain, France and other countries in Europe will not allow him to waste time.

How about raising a thief's self-respect? While vigorously developing the navy, he continued to provoke wars, fighting Spain, the Netherlands, Japan, and even Britain and France, so that the navy could not stop fighting, and the conquest was endless, so that Kangxi had to rely on him, and did not dare to easily hit the attention of the navy. Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Penghu, Magong Port.

Zhang Jin, the deputy general of the Penghu Naval Division, led less than 1,000 officers and soldiers on the dock in amazement as the Spanish warships slowly drove in, and then disembarked in a neat line, surrendering to the receiving Qing Navy under the leadership of the captain.

Guerrilla Yang Changsheng whispered as if in a dream: "General, this is not a dream in broad daylight, right?" The entire fleet of Westerners surrendered? ”

"Dream your mother." Zhang Jin scolded angrily: "Lao Tzu has been busy for half a day, and it is a Teng military camp and an empty house, all of which are prepared for these foreign devils, if this is a dream, Lao Tzu is not busy in vain?" ”

"The general is not right." Guerrilla Tang Fugui stepped forward and said: "The private house is for our Qing Navy and Fujian Navy. ”

"Get out!" Zhang Jin scolded with a smile: "As long as you kid can, why don't you hurry up and prepare a meal?" I heard that the fourteenth and thirteenth masters came in person. ”

"General, why do you rank the fourteenth master in front of the thirteenth master?" Guerrilla Yang Changsheng asked with a wink.

"Fourteen Party, do you know?" Zhang Jincai inquired clearly from the navy, and immediately said proudly: "The fourteenth master is not only the boss of the fourteenth party, but also the boss of the Qing navy, so naturally you have to be in front, and your kid is also from the third grade, don't you understand the rules of officialdom?" As soon as they landed, Angel, the commander of the Spanish fleet, and Carlos, the deputy commander of the Spanish fleet, and a group of colonel-level officers respectfully greeted him, and Angel bowed down to present the short sword representing the identity of the fleet commander.

Yinzhen asked someone to take it, and then asked, "Why is your fleet stationed in Manila?" ”

Someone around him immediately translated it, Angel originally thought that Yinzhen would ask why he attacked Penghu, but he didn't expect that since he was asking the reason for the garrison in Manila, most officers knew about it, and he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he sighed slightly, and replied respectfully: "The temporary formation of the Far East Fleet to garrison Manila is to guard against the Dutch."

Sure enough, it was to guard against the Dutch, it seemed that Spain and the Dutch had a conflict in the South Seas, Yinzhen continued to ask: "Why do you suddenly guard against the Dutch?" ”

Angel replied: "In the winter of last year, we had a great conflict with the Dutch in Moluccas, in the Spice Islands, and in order to ensure that Manila, the only stronghold of the empire in the Far East, would not be attacked by the Dutch, the Far East Fleet was temporarily formed to garrison Manila. ”

Yinzhen nodded and said, "Restrain your subordinates well, I will take you to Shanghai, where I will wait for your empire to redeem you, if there is something, you can convey it to me through the soldiers." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." Angel bowed down and said, "I also have a small gift for Your Highness." As he spoke, he turned around and took a box from an officer's hand, opened it with his own hands, and presented it respectfully.

Yinzhen was also quite curious, motioned to the guard to take it, glanced at it, it turned out to be a box of cigars, he couldn't help but glance at Angel in surprise, this thing is definitely a good thing, thinking of the Spanish colony in the United States, he smiled slightly, and said: "Cuban cigars?" Is the current production large? ”

Angel didn't expect Yinzhen to call out the name of Cuba in one bite, and couldn't help but admire his insight, and hurriedly replied: "I don't know the specific output, but now it is very popular in the upper class of Europe to smoke Cuban cigars." ”

"Thank you for the gift." Yinzhen nodded slightly, and then went straight away, but he secretly calculated in his heart, cigarettes, this is a huge profit industry.

Ma Miyagi, the private residence of the deputy general Zhang Jin.

Shi Shibi, Wu Ge, Yande, Del Xu, Liu Zhisheng, and Lin Wei all sat upright with respectful expressions, wondering what arrangements Yinzhen had for gathering them at this time, except for two of the Spanish fleet, all the remaining thirty-three large and small warships were captured, which was really exciting.

With this fleet, the construction of the navy is a foregone conclusion, judging from the size of the fleet and the number of soldiers, the level will definitely not be lower than that of the naval division, then they may all be awarded the actual position of the general soldier, ho low, a staff general, deputy general can not run away, this is a third-grade, second-grade member, a few people are naturally very excited.

Yinzhen glanced at a few people before he slowly spoke: "This is just a small fleet of the Spanish Empire, don't be too happy." With this fleet as a foundation, there is no problem in building the navy, and since the navy has been established, it is necessary to shoulder the responsibilities of the navy, defend the homeland and defend the country internally, and expand the territory externally.

The building of the navy is only the first step, although it is a little earlier than expected, but there is also a suspicion of pulling out seedlings to help the growth, and the most prominent point is that the cadets of the navy cannot keep up.

Wu Ge, the training of naval cadets will be handed over to you, this summer's recruitment, expanded to 10,000, within three years, must maintain this scale, Shanghai can not tolerate, in Taiwan's Fengshan or Guangzhou to build a branch, the momentum of naval expansion within three years, can not slow down, in terms of money, do not need to consider.

The captured Spanish sailors, who were paid to start work, taught their staff to operate battleships, especially battleships of the second and third ranks. ”

"Yes!" Wu Ge stood up and saluted, "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

Yinzhen nodded, motioned for Wu Ge to sit down, and then said to Shi Shibiu: "Shi Junmen, the six thousand green battalions from Liangguang, Fujian and Zhejiang stationed in Taiwan have arrived?" ”

Shi Shibiao replied: "Back to the prince, the three thousand green battalions of Fujian and Zhejiang have arrived in Fengshan, and the green battalions of Liangguang have not yet arrived to defend, probably because of the fiasco of the naval division, worried that the sea will be attacked by the Spanish fleet, and they are late." ”

Yinzhen bowed slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Nanyang, the Qing Dynasty is inevitable, therefore, Fengshan's position is becoming more and more important, Fengshan must be built into an important supply base for the navy, whether it is food, clothing, firearms, gunpowder must be able to be self-sufficient, Fujian and Zhejiang 3,000 green battalions are prepared for the expedition to Luzon."

Fengshan itself does not have a defensive army and horses, and the dog port will be put into use in two months, and it will also usher in great development. ”

"Subordinate Order." Shi Shibi got up and shook it.

"Now that the Spanish fleet has been settled, it is necessary to occupy Luzon as soon as possible and capture Manila, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Dutch." Yinzhen glanced at a few people and said: "Shi Junmen, you sent the Fujian Navy Warship to be responsible for sending the Fujian and Zhejiang 3,000 green battalions and the two Guangzhous and 3,000 green operations to Manila." Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei, you two led sixteen fast sail warships south to Manila, one to destroy Manila's defensive warships, and the other to prevent the Dutch from entering Manila. ”

"Yes!" Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei's faces were flushed with excitement, and they immediately got up and saluted, answering loudly.

"Subordinate Order." Shi Shibiao also got up and said, he was not worried that without Kangxi's edict, he would privately mobilize the sailors to conquer Luzon Such a big war, Yinzhen would naturally consider it carefully and make up the formalities. Clear
