"Good news, what good news!"
Zhang Xian excitedly grabbed Yue Yun's arm, life in Yizhou was as plain as water, and a little disturbance was enough to make him look forward to.
"It is said that the Department of Minerals values the minerals in Yizhou and will come to explore soon. If a mine is found, a group of people from the country will soon come to mine."
"The mine? This is indeed good news." Zhang Xian paced back and forth happily. In his opinion, the construction of the mine includes many ancillary projects, the most important of which is the road.
If the imperial court wants to open mines in Yizhou, then roads must be built here. If roads are built, cement factories and brick factories will also be established, and Yizhou will be really lively.
"Do you know what mines the Minerals Department wants to mine?" Zhang Xian asked again.
After thinking about it, he said: "This is no longer a secret in Qingzhou, and the information here is really unclear. The Department of Minerals said that Yizhou's minerals are mainly coal, sulfur, gold, and copper. It is said that coal is mainly in the north. And copper is mainly in the northeast from the central mountain range east to the coast, but people from the Department of Minerals say you are particularly rich in sulfur in these minerals.
"Oh? It's so strange that I saw at the Yizhou market a few days ago that people brought a basket of sulphur to sell. It turned out to be like this, yes, yes." Zhang Xian was happy.
Yue Yun continued: "It doesn't stop there. Before we took Yizhou, the Spaniards had just landed in northern Yizhou, and were later repelled by the Dutch. Now the cooperation between Da Yu and the Netherlands is getting deeper and deeper. They finally said To be honest, Spain discovered open-air gold veins in the north. This place was called Jinguashi by the Spanish. It is said that the gold mines are very rich. The Dutch wanted to mine them after they drove out Spain, but we did not expect it to be captured. Yizhou."
"Golden Pulse." Zhang Xian felt his heart beating faster and faster, "Miao, it's really wonderful."
The sugar cane was also eaten, and what should have been said, Yue Yun stretched his waist and ordered the generals to return to Relanzhe City. After another four days of rest, the battleships of the Great Yu Kingdom slowly moved towards Bohol Island.
...
Bohol, Spain’s Governor’s Palace, Miel is reading the war report about Huayan State. After this time of massacre, more than 17,000 people in Huayan State died under their guns, and 3,000 others were hiding. Into the mountains.
"Your Excellency, the country of Huayan has basically been destroyed. This time we have seized seven million taels of silver and 500,000 taels of gold from Huayan."
The lieutenant in charge of the operation reported with a cruel smile.
"Good job, Joseph, these stole so much money from us under our noses. I should have killed them all earlier." Miel said coldly, and for him, the report said. His life is just a number to him, because in his eyes, these natives are not humans at all.
Joseph complimented: "Your Excellency is still farsighted. I have ordered people to deliver the silver, gold, jewellery and porcelain collected to the Governor's private warehouse, and these items can be shipped back to Spain within a week."
Miel stood up, and he patted Joseph on the shoulder excitedly. "You are really smart. I always like to work with smart people. My governorship will be full soon. I will recommend you to become a newcomer here. The governor."
"Thank you, your Excellency," Joseph said excitedly, which was exactly what he dreamed of.
He then flattered and said: "Your Excellency, I also left you with a few beautiful Da Yu country women to serve you. These people should die, and it is their luck to keep their lives to serve the Governor."
"Who said no? It's their glory for these humble Spaniards to serve us noble." Miel grinned cruelly.
Joseph looked at Miel carefully, he knew the cruelty of the governor very well.
In fact, those who can be sent to Bohol as governor must be cruel and cruel, because remote overseas colonies are generally places of exile for their own prisoners.
It is as if Australia is an overseas prison for the United Kingdom, and Indochina is an overseas prison for the French, and the Governor is the custodian of these exiles.
Without a cold heart, how could he subdue these unruly prisoners.
However, Miel had planned for the massacre of Huayan for a long time. In his opinion, Miel just wanted to make a fortune before leaving office.
However, he was very smart and took full advantage of Spain’s current dissatisfaction with Great Chongqing, because the Dutch became stronger after cooperating with Great Chongqing, which made them feel uneasy.
With the help of Miel, the country finally gave Miel the right to handle all affairs here, and the massacre against Huayan country began.
Of course, he has no sympathy for these Huayan people. The slaughter of indigenous people is a common occurrence in Europe. Who makes them a lower race in the eyes of Europeans?
"Your Excellency~EbookFREE.me~ Then I won't bother you, and please enjoy it slowly." Joseph bowed.
Miel waved his hand to signal Joseph to leave. At this time, the night fell and he was going back to enjoy his delicious food.
at the same time.
The combined fleet led by Yue Yun and Eric has arrived 100 nautical miles away on Bohol Island. According to their plan, they will suddenly launch an attack on the Spanish fleet in the early hours of the next morning.
In this battle, they will completely destroy the Spanish fleet in Asia, and at the same time wipe out the Spanish colonists locally.
Taking advantage of the cover of the night, Yue Yun and Eric asked the crew to take turns to rest. At this time, the dark color became their protective color.
They did not encounter any obstacles during the overnight voyage, and when the coastline was white, they appeared at the Spanish naval port on Bohol Island.
"In a battle formation to grab a favorable position." Yue Yun issued a military order.
His words fell, and the leading steamship used its own power to quickly blockade the Spanish port, and at the same time pointed its side at the Spanish warship in the port.
Eric also ordered the warships to cooperate with Great Chongqing, but their warships were too clumsy in front of these flexible warships.
The huge fleet that suddenly appeared in front of them made the Spanish soldiers in the sentry almost crazy, and they blew the whistle urgently.
The Spanish soldiers on the battleship heard the sound and quickly entered the combat position, but their speed was too slow, and it was too late when they adjusted the hull.
With a roar, the battleships on the opposite side opened fire intensively.
"Boom boom boom..."
In the continuous explosions, the first battleship to be concentrated instantly burst like popcorn.
Eric was dumbfounded, his heart felt as if he was pinched, and now he finally realized the gap between the Dutch battleship and the Da Yuguo battleship.
