Chapter 420: Please enter the urn
What will be the consequences of so many plants grabbing territory, competing for nutrients in the sun, and pests lacking natural predators invading Europe? Just thinking of water hyacinth all over the lakes and ponds, Yinzhen felt a burst of happiness. //**//
In these days, there is no concept of invasive alien species, let alone the awareness of its harm, unless it has caused catastrophic consequences, otherwise no one can notice at all, and there are no chemical things such as herbicides today, even if they are aware of the harm, it is difficult to eradicate them, and maybe it will promote the development of chemistry in Europe.
The corners of Yinzhen's mouth turned up slightly, with a faint smile, this plan, it is not difficult to implement, most of the culprits are produced in the Americas, Africa, even if it causes a disaster, no one will suspect that someone did it deliberately, who let Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Spain have so many colonies in the Americas and Africa?
Once this plan is implemented, in just 10 or 20 or 30 years, Europe's agriculture, animal husbandry, and forestry will suffer great losses, which will not only affect Europe's economy, but will even curb the development of Europe's population.
It's a bit yin, but it works great!
Thinking of this, Yinzhen frowned slightly, and from this, he also thought of the most typical case of alien species invasion, the rabbit disaster in Australia, immigrants to Australia should pay attention to this point, in addition, they must also order the major customs to strictly control the flow of alien species into the mainland, and take precautions as soon as possible, which can be regarded as benefiting future generations.
was thinking to himself, but Dachun reported at the door: "Master, the former commander of the Spanish fleet, Angel, and the deputy commander Carlos are waiting outside. **”
Well, Yinzhen groaned for a while, and then said: "Take the two of them to Yin'an Palace, ask Zhang Tiansheng to come over, and send someone else to clean up the table and banquet." These two people were specially sent by him to call a fast horse, not only to go on an expedition to Europe, but also to talk to them openly and honestly in detail, and by the way, let the two buns see the prosperity of the capital.
As soon as they entered the capital, Angel and Carlos did enter the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, and the two of them were also well-informed and had seen some of the world, but the cities of Europe could not be compared with the capital in terms of city size and population, with straight and wide streets, beautiful buildings, bustling crowds, and dense shops.
When they entered the Prince's Mansion, the two were even more surprised, not only the building was exquisite, the furnishings were gorgeous, but also the big scary, and the houses were also amazing, one after another doors, one courtyard after another, and the two of them were already dazzled by the Yin'an Palace.
Zhang Tiansheng, the escort who acted as a translator, was born quickly, and led the two into the Yin'an Palace to serve tea, Angel and Carlos looked at the beautiful palace furnishings and porcelain and had an unreal feeling, Madrid and this capital can't be compared, even if the mansion of the fourteen princes is even as good as the Madrid Palace.
Yinzhen didn't let the two of them wait for a long time, they paced over in regular clothes, and when they saw Yinzhen enter the door, Angel and Carlos hurriedly got up and took a few steps forward to ask Qian'er to say goodbye: "Little Angel and Carlos greet the fourteenth prince." ”
Seeing that both of them were dressed in new robes and horse coats, Yinzhen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Flat, watch and sit." ”
"His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince." After thanking the two, they got up and sat down carefully when Yinzhen sat down.
Seeing that the two were restrained, Yinzhen smiled and said, "What do you think of Beijing City?" How is it compared to your capital city of Madrid? ”
Angel bowed: "It's unbelievable that there is such a large city in the East. ”
"The beauty is breathtaking, and the prosperity is beyond our imagination." Carlos also hurriedly said: "Madrid is simply incomparable. ”
"The population of this capital alone is more than one million." Yinzhen deliberately stimulated the two. ..., Angel and Carlos were really surprised, and it was impossible to find a place in Europe with a population of more than one million, and London in England was the most populous, even less than 500,000.
"Don't be surprised." Yinzhen continued: "The Qing Empire, not counting the inhabitants of overseas territories, has 200 million. The mainland should be larger than the whole of Europe. ”
The two of them are completely speechless, Spain counts all the overseas population, but only 50 or 60 million, the mainland is pitiful, Britain is not even 10 million, France is less than 20 million, how many people are there in the whole of Europe? Definitely less than 200 million! And the Qing Empire alone has a population of 200 million! The territory is bigger than the whole of Europe!
Seeing that the two of them looked dumbfounded, Yinzhen smiled and said: "You have been to Guangzhou, from Guangzhou to Tianjin, the coastline of the Qing Dynasty, you have just walked halfway, of course, this does not include the newly conquered Nanyang." ”
The Spanish Empire's overseas territory spans North and South America, including the entire Central America, and the coastline is also long and scary, and the Qing Empire can be longer and shorter, however, what makes Angel and Carlos speechless is that this is the territory of the people, not including overseas at all, and Spain itself is not comparable with the Qing Dynasty at all.
After boasting for a long time, Yinzhen cut to the point, and after a little muttering, he said: "France and my Qing Empire have always been friends, fifteen years ago, His Majesty King Louis XIV sent Bai Jin, Zhang Cheng and other six academicians of the French Academy of Sciences to our Qing Empire to exchange Chinese and Western cultures, His Majesty Louis XIV and my Qing Emperor still have personal correspondence.
Shocked to hear that France was at war in Europe with Britain, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Prussia and other anti-French allies, the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Empire was very angry and was willing to send troops to Europe to help France and Spain. ”
Hearing these words, Angel and Carlos couldn't believe their ears, the Qing Empire was willing to send troops to Europe to help Spain and France? It's incredible! Just because France once sent several academicians of the Academy of Sciences to the Qing Dynasty for exchanges?
Angel glanced at Yinzhen suspiciously, with the current situation of the two of them, there was no need for him to deceive at all, that is, there was another purpose, the Qing Empire would not want to take the opportunity to attack Spain itself, right? Thinking of this, he glanced at Yinzhen vigilantly again.
Seeing the vigilant looks of the two of them, and the sharp glance from the left and the right, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile slightly: "For the sake of the friendship between China and France, the Qing Dynasty did not hesitate to send troops on an expedition, in addition, the Qing Dynasty wants to open a direct trade with European merchant ships, hoping to lease a port in your country or France like Portugal to trade, of course, after the victory, it can also be leased from Britain and the Netherlands."
The Qing Empire hopes to develop trade and enhance exchanges with your country and France, and as for the conflict between the Qing Empire and Spain, it was completely provoked by you first, and we are willing to sit down and talk, in order to show our sincerity, we will only send 20,000 navies to Europe this time. ”
