Chapter 425: The Decisive Battle (3)

Yizhou? The maritime merchants looked at each other, apparently completely puzzled by Alfonso's arrangement. In this era, the Ming people have a natural sense of psychological superiority over foreigners.

The maritime merchants approached Alfonso only to cooperate, in other words, to hire Yong, but not his subordinates. At that moment, someone asked: "Yizhou is just a new barbarian, what does it matter?" Attacking Yizhou is the next strategy, even if it succeeds, what is the use? ”

"You know what? Yizhou is a natural treasure and must be controlled in the hands of Spain. This is the core interest of the empire and must not be abandoned. "Yizhou is indeed a strategic place, the south of the army refers to Hainan, to the north can advance Huang Bo, to the east to the Ryukyu, belongs to the soldiers must seize the important place.

In another time and space, Lin Feng first passed through Yizhou, and then the Dutch entrenched themselves in Yizhou and built fortresses, but the Spaniards never reached into Yizhou. Of course, the Spaniards are even in a mess in the Philippines, and they may not have the spare energy to take care of the affairs of Yizhou.

But Alfonso boasted that he had a gaze that was nearly three hundred years ahead of this time and space, how could he let go of this place. Besides, the East India Company is already operating in Yizhou, and I heard that it is quite large-scale built there, so I want to eat this fatty meat even more.

"Listen, there are ready-made shipyards in Yizhou, and a large number of ships are moored on the docks. On the 6th floor, they have a gun factory, which can provide us with much-needed munitions. And in their warehouses, there are mountains of silk, tea, porcelain, and silver. On top of that, they still have food. And you have so little food that we have to get a granary to keep the war going. ”

Truly. The grain provided by these Zhejiang merchants was too small. It was mainly the imperial court that bought grain in the official name, with the cooperation of local governors and local gentry. A large amount of grain was sold to Guangdong, so much so that the price of grain in Zhejiang has risen by 30 percent. On the side of the Spaniards. and is only willing to buy at a parity price. These maritime merchants all wanted to sell grain in Zhejiang for money, and the total amount of grain sent to the Philippines was limited.

At present, relying on food storage, it can meet the expenses of the army. But once the war is in place, the Philippines has only fifteen days of food reserves, which is too tight. Even Alfonso did not dare to starve his soldiers in wartime. After the granary is laid, the overall situation can be revitalized. Alfonso added:

"As long as Yizhou is captured, my troops can enter Tianjin and directly ascend to Dagukou.6 When the invincible Spanish soldiers appeared outside the Kyoto Division. Your Emperor will tremble, and your Minister of War will submit. Spain will get what he wants, and in return, each of you will receive a dividend in line with your contribution. ”

"Minister of Military Aircraft? When did I have this thing? The merchants looked at each other, wondering what he was talking about.

"Mr. Alfonso, what kind of monopoly is the reward you are talking about? Does that thing really make money? It's not like we've never seen it, and it's not as easy to sell as you say. ”

As soon as I mention this. Alfonso held his breath. Originally, Fleur was supposed to be the best commodity for the European powers to earn silver, but in his time, even the cotton cloth business was far less good than Fleur's business. In order to protect the life of Afurong and increase the explosion of the Chinese market, the British used a small fleet. The country was opened with cannons and bayonets.

In this era, this great merit should belong to you. But damn it, they actually took the lead. Sold Fleur back to Europe. As long as he catches this Liu Bingbei, he will definitely hang him personally.

He waved his hand and said, "You should not question a great Spanish gentleman. This is very rude. Believe me, there is no business in the world that is more profitable than the Fleur business. You will be the agents of the Spanish Empire. You are guaranteed to make a huge profit. ”

These maritime merchants said in their hearts: Just you plague-stricken people, still want to hit the Jingshi? But as long as you make a big enough noise, remove Liu Chaozuo's official position, and ruin the matter of opening the sea in Xiangshan, everything will be fine. Other things are just a false relationship with you, and then find an opportunity to stab you. The sky and the earth in Yizhou are good, and it happens to be our foundation, and the East India Company and the Spaniards had better die together before they can think with us.

Several maritime merchants instantly took up their minds and said in unison: "General Alfonso is high, and my generation is beyond the reach of the dust, and I admire and admire." "In this plan, of course, a large number of siege pirates will be lost, but those pirates are nothing more than consumables, and they will not feel distressed if they die.

Alfonso added: "Be sure to keep it secret. The classification of this military intelligence is top secret, and not even many of us Spaniards know about it. You must keep it a secret, otherwise no one will want to live. ”

These wealthy businessmen know that not so long ago, a man named Don? Juan's Spanish officers were arrested and locked up in confinement because they were suspected of tipping off the Ming Dynasty. I heard that the man was still a nobleman, and even he was locked up and confined to him, and if he touched his head, it would probably be difficult to live, and no one would dare to disobey the order.

When the group left, Alfonso stretched triumphantly and turned to his bedroom. The two charming twin sisters came out together, obediently untied the iron armor on his body and changed into a comfortable silk shirt.

"My little wildcat, how is the information you gave your leader?"

"In accordance with your orders, we said in the intelligence that you have adopted the tactic of shaking a shot, attacking Guangzhou openly, and taking Xiangshan in fact. I believe that they will definitely win the scheme, and Yizhou will definitely belong to you. ”

"Don't you regret betraying your organization and your leader?"

"For your sake, we sisters don't care about anything." The expressions of the two were firm, without the slightest hesitation. "We used to be the people of the Heavenly Maiden Gate, but now we are only yours. It's just that we know too little of the stakes, otherwise we would have been able to remove all the spies for you. ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter, my darling." Alfonso took the two into his arms, "Those spies can't control anything, this Ming is like a rotten apple, there is no way to save it." In a few days, I will give you a bright future and a good life. It's just a pity that my wife is coming, and you have to put up with her bad temper for a few days. God willing, I've endured her for over a year and now have to endure it again. ”

"It is a blessing for our sisters to be able to share your ups and downs." The two women are still so docile, "I wish the prime minister a victory, and success immediately." (To be continued!)
