Chapter 815 Gao Huan is furious
Recently, Gao Huan ascended the throne and became emperor, and it was unlucky to fight and kill.
Therefore, Gao Huan did not use his troops in large quantities.
In the past few months, Gao Huan has not done anything else except preparing to send a fleet to the coast of North Korea, and the Nanyang Navy rescued the Zheng family and cooperated with the Zheng family to attack the Dutch.
At this time, the fleet sent to North Korea had not set off yet, and the Nanyang Navy helped the Zheng family to repel the West-Holland Combined Fleet and returned to Fuzhou.
After the West-Holland fleet retreated, there was only one Jelan Champions left in the entire Taiwan Island and surrounding islands.
The Zheng army was enough to siege Relanzha Fort, so the Nanyang Navy retreated to Fuzhou for rest.
Therefore, the military information department has to report to the military information, which can only be someone who is preparing to attack or has already attacked Ganchao.
Gao Huan really wanted to know who was so stupid, whether it was Zhang Xianzhong, Li Jiyu, or the Qing army.
"Let him come in!" Gao Huan ordered casually.
Soon, Gao Youwen entered the hall and saw the cabinet ministers full of them stunned for a moment, then saluted Gao Huan and said, "I pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Gao Huan raised his hand, "My dear! What military information is there?"
Gao Youwen took out a letter of information and submitted it, "Report to Your Majesty, the Spanish slaughtered our people in Luzon!"
Gao Huan was slightly stunned, then his face turned pale, and he quickly took the information and started watching.
After the West-Holland fleet was repelled, the Spanish were worried that after the Zheng army occupied Taiwan, they would continue to go south to seize Luzon.
In order to avoid the Chinese in Luzon contacted the Zheng family and attacked the inner responders of the Zheng family, the colonial authorities issued an order to massacre local Chinese.
Instead of covering up their atrocities, the Spaniards took the initiative to spread the atrocities in Manila, hoping to dispel the Zheng family's peeping into Luzon.
Gao Huan saw the information that nearly 6,000 Chinese people were massacred and couldn't help but slamming the table and furious, "This group of barbarians actually bullied me."
After reading the information, Gao Huan not only thought about the history of another world, but since the Opium War, China has been bullied by these Western barbarians. Even after a hundred years of humiliation and finally stood up, the Chinese were also troubled by these Western barbarians everywhere, constantly fabricating facts, wielding the stick of human rights, smearing China, and slandering sanctions at every turn, wanting to trample China forever.
Looking at the information, Gao Huan was angry. These Western barbarians massacred Chinese, massacred Indians, engaged in the black slave trade, and did all the unethical things. How could they be so shameless and finally regarded themselves as saints.
In the hall, several cabinet ministers were shocked when they saw Gao Huan's appearance, but they didn't expect Gao Huan to be so excited.
"Your Majesty, what happened in Luzon?" Li Yan couldn't help asking.
Gao Huan was so angry that he was reluctant to mention it, so he picked up the information, "You can see it yourself!"
Li Yan took the information and the few people immediately surrounded him and looked at him, his face becoming gloomy. However, they had not experienced a century-old national humiliation, so they were not as angry as Gao Huan.
"Your Majesty, these Western barbarians are really hateful!" Li Yan said gritting his teeth.
Gao Huan sat down again and said with a gloomy face: "You can't just let this matter go, I must retaliate and make these Westerners look good."
Several cabinet ministers looked at each other but did not speak.
Gao Huan looked at everyone, "Why don't the Qing family express their opinions?"
Seeing that Gao Huan obviously wanted to use force, Zhou Yanru took a step back without a trace and left the opportunity to speak for Li Yan, Du Yinxi and others.
Several cabinet ministers looked at each other, and finally Li Yan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, these Western barbarians are far away in Luzon, how can our dynasty teach them a lesson?"
In the Cabinet's view, unifying the world is the main business. I just agreed to take Hedong first, then settle Guanzhong, and finally pacify Bashu. The Cabinet did not hope that the Spanish would change the established strategy of Gan Dynasty because the Spanish massacred the people in Luzon.
If Luzon is close to the big fight, then send troops to teach a lesson and give punishment. The cabinet will vote for support, but Luzon is too far away, and the cabinet feels that there is no cost-effective means of revenge.
Zhou Yanru knew that the cabinet would object, and as a cabinet minister, he did not support Gao Huan's use of military force. In order to avoid making Gao Huan unhappy, he asked Li Yan and Du Yinxi, two political opponents, to persuade Gao Huan.
Gao Huan was angry, but he knew that the only reason why Spain dared to do this was because he felt that Gan Chao could not do anything to them, or the cost of revenge was too high, so that Gan Chao chose to be as enduring as the Ming Dynasty.
In the final analysis, the Chinese navy was behind. If the fleet could reach Luzon, or even Europe, how could the Western barbarians dare to be so arrogant and so arrogant?
Gao Huan knew that Liang State was beyond the reach of Luzon now, but Gao Huan was not incompetent angry.
At this time, Gao Huan looked at Li Yan and said in a deep voice: "I am ready to declare war on the Spaniards! First, trade with the Spaniards, seize goods, cargo ships, personnel, and bank certificates of deposit that the Spaniards are working hard. Second, join forces with Zheng Zhilong to send troops to conquer Spain!"
Li Yan and several cabinet ministers quickly exchanged views.
Li Yan first came out and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed abominable that the Western barbarians massacre our people, but will the prohibition of trade with the Spanish hurt the enemy by hurting 800? After all, the Western barbarians are now one of the main objects of our maritime trade. The goods they purchased from Dakan account for 20% of the maritime trade!"
Gao Huan understood that Li Yan was worried, "Love, I asked you, who else in this world sells these goods besides me selling tea, porcelain, and silk?"
Li Yan shook his head, "It seems that there is no!"
Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "The Spaniards dug up silver from the Americas. They cannot buy goods from us, they can only buy goods elsewhere. We only have them in the world. They cannot buy them directly, so they can only buy them from merchants from other countries. Spain's demand for goods will not disappear, otherwise the silver in their hands will be stones, and they will buy from merchants from other countries, which will cost a higher price. Therefore, sanctions on the Spaniards have little impact on my hard work, and it will have a huge impact on Spain, forcing them to spend more silver."
When Li Yan heard this, he felt that what Gao Huan said seemed to make some sense, but he had to think about it carefully for the first time and did not continue to question it.
At this time, Du Yinxi said: "Your Majesty, our navy has no experience in the ocean. The Beiyang navy is still preparing to go to North Korea. Luzon is even further away from our dynasty, so the navy may not be able to complete the mission of the expedition."
Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "That's why I want to unite the Zheng family. Don't worry, I am not asking to go out immediately. I will step up the construction of warships, train naval troops, and jointly send troops with the Zheng family, and will not act rashly. In the end, the actions at sea will not affect the attack on Hedong. With the national strength of the country, the two things can be carried out at the same time."
When everyone heard Gao Huan say this, they could only politely say, "I have no objection!"
