Seeing that Angel and Carlos were frightened and pale, Yinzhen couldn't help but secretly wonder, and he didn't know what the Spaniards had done in developing silver mines in the Americas. The drill of the Spanish fleet is an extremely important part of Yinzhen's military exercise plan, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have always regarded themselves as the Celestial Empire, and they are used to arrogance, so they must be allowed to see the military strength of the Spaniards, so that they will not always sit in the well and watch the sky.

The main purpose was to stimulate Kangxi, who not only attached importance to firearms, but also limited the development of firearms, so that he could see the power of the Spanish fleet with his own eyes, lest he limit the development of the navy in the future.

After a moment of silence, Angel glared at Yinzhen angrily and said indignantly: "Civilized people will not abuse prisoners of war, you are a barbarian." ”

"We are savages, what are you? Brigand? Bandit? Yinzhen said sarcastically: "You Spain unprovoked the war and attacked the officers and soldiers of our Daqingshui Division, Penghu Island, is this the behavior of civilized people?" ”

Carlos was more like a businessman, dignity and life, he did not hesitate to choose the latter, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he continued: "Your Royal Highness, our fleet only has firecrackers, and it is an honor to practice shooting phalanxes for His Highness. ”

Seeing that Carlos agreed, Yinzhen nodded at him and said, "Very good, I hope you can play the level of combat that the Spanish Empire should have." As he spoke, he looked at Angel and said, "This king will hold a military drill in Tianjin, not only your Spanish drill, but also our Great Qing Kingdom, this is a rare opportunity, I hope you will take it as a military exchange, not a performance." ”

Speaking of this, Yinzhen stopped, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, if these more than 9,000 Spanish soldiers can be used for their own use, half of them go to Nanyang to fight the Netherlands, and half of them are used to serve as the vanguard of fighting Japan, which is much more valuable than building roads, which not only solves the embarrassment of insufficient troops, but also reduces the damage of the navy.

Fighting the Netherlands and Japan, the Spaniards should not have resistance, just let them fight for the Qing Dynasty, I'm afraid it's not too easy, Carlos may be able to convince Angel, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, or imprison Angel or simply kill him? As soon as this idea flashed, Yinzhen quickly gave up, Angel is the commander of the fleet, once he disappears, it will immediately cause panic among the Spanish soldiers, and persuasion is the best way.

Hearing that the Qing Dynasty also conducted military exercises, Angel's face immediately became much better, and when he heard the word military exchange, he bowed very respectfully and said, "Your Highness, I apologize to you for my recklessness and presumptuousness." Since it is a military exchange, we, the Spanish Far East Fleet, are happy to show the best of us. ”

Seeing that Angel's attitude has improved greatly, Yinzhen nodded, this guy is not inaccessible, what he cares about is the dignity and equality of soldiers, he is really a stubborn donkey, he is a prisoner, and he still hopes for equality, I really don't know how Europe treats prisoners of war now, is it still equal to prisoners? How do you convince or induce this guy to agree to be a thug?

Angel then asked: "May I ask Your Highness, are there Mongolian cavalry in this military exercise?" ”

Mongol cavalry? It seems that Genghis Khan's Mongolian cavalry has caused a deep fear and psychological shadow to European countries, which has passed five hundred years, and they are still angry with the Mongolian cavalry.

With the idea of soliciting in his heart, Yinzhen's attitude also improved greatly, and he explained with a smile: "This drill is aimed at firearms troops. However, the Qing Emperor's Hu's guards have cavalry, which will surely open your eyes. After saying that, he asked tentatively, "Have you ever heard of Japan?" ”

Japan, Angel was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It is an island country, and we used to trade with us, and the hateful Dutch later monopolized Japan's trade. ”

Yinzhen smiled slightly and said: "Japan is rich in gold and silver. ”

Angel looked at Yinzhen vigilantly, what does this fourteenth prince mean? Did he want to invade Japan? But this has nothing to do with our Spain, and after being silent for a long time, he asked hesitantly: "I don't understand what His Royal Highness the prince means." ”

Seeing that this guy didn't bite the hook, Yinzhen was not in a hurry, and asked again: "Have you heard of mercenaries?" ”

Mercenaries? Angel looked at Yinzhen suspiciously, does this fourteenth prince want to hire us to fight Japan? Did the Qing Dynasty also lack troops? But looking at the crowded crowd on the dock today, it doesn't look like there is a shortage of people. "If you are willing to fight Japan, the gold and silver captured can be used as ransom for you." The old god Yinzhen said.

"But we need weapons and ammunition." Angel said quickly.

Yinzhen said with a smile: "It's no problem, we can sell it to you." ”

Angel smiled happily: "I don't think I have any reason to refuse the kindness of His Royal Highness. ”

"Oh, that's a great idea." Carlos wasted no time in saying, "Your Royal Highness, we need enough food to ensure the physical strength of our soldiers in order to serve Your Highness. ”

"Don't worry, bread will be there, and I will order enough flour for you." Yinzhen smiled and said, "The military exercise will be held in a few days, so you should prepare well." ”

Hearing that there was enough flour, Carlos hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness the Prince, for your generosity." ”

The next day after the Beiyang Fleet arrived in Tianjin, it was sent to the capital as soon as possible, and Song Zhu, the minister on duty, knew that this matter was related to the sacrifice of prisoners in Tianjin, and did not dare to delay a little, so he immediately rushed to the Qianqing Palace to meet Kangxi.

After reading the twists and turns, Kangxi bowed slightly, completely relieved, the navy was a great victory, and he had never seen the official military report, although he believed that the old fourteen would not dare to tear off the big lie, but his heart was always unsteady, just because the results were too brilliant and too unexpected.

Now it seems that Lao 14 did not exaggerate in the slightest, the navy did capture the entire Spanish fleet, 33 large and small warships, and more than 9,400 prisoners, it seems that they have to start preparing to go to Tianjin to participate in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, well, and the navy's military exercises.

Thinking of this, Kangxi instructed: "Li Dequan, you go to pass the decree in person, and pick an elite battalion of soldiers on the inner and outer wings of the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion of the Beijing Division, and drive to Tianjin three days later." ”

"Wow." Li Dequan bowed down and answered, secretly happy in his heart, Kangxi did not specify the specific purpose, this was his chance to make a fortune.

After Li Dequan withdrew, Song Zhu kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, Tianjin is now full of heavy troops, there are more than 7,000 people in the navy alone, more than 40 warships, and nearly 2,000 artillery pieces. ”
