Chapter 381 The high-end gameplay of a big country
Croner then signed a loan agreement with the Ming Bank, and then signed an agreement to purchase warships with the General Administration of Ordnance Manufacturing.
As the governor of Manila, Spain, he has the right to make decisions on behalf of the Spanish king in overseas trade.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty didn't have to worry that Croner would refuse to admit his conscience.
After signing these agreements, Croner officially submitted a speech to the Ming Emperor in the name of the Governor of Manila, Spain, saying that Manila would dispatch twenty-five warships and 800 local soldiers to assist the Ming Dynasty in regaining Goa.
Soon, the content of the remarks of Croner was learned by Abuque, the governor of Eurasia of the Netherlands, through the Dibao.
Abukui was shocked when he learned about it.
Because of the 25 warships and the scale of more than 800 soldiers from their own countries, it does not seem that Spain's military strength in Manila is much worse than that of the Netherlands in Batavia.
Moreover, the Dutch themselves knew that because of their colonial combat experience, the Spanish soldiers were undoubtedly more experienced than their Dutch soldiers, and therefore the combat effectiveness of the 800 Spanish soldiers was actually more than that of their Dutch soldiers.
It can be said that Spain's military strength is not only enough to compete with the military threat of the Netherlands, but also slightly stronger than the current military strength of the Netherlands in the East.
"Isn't it necessary to transfer all your troops in Manila? Besides, even if you send so many soldiers, do you have so many warships in Manila?"
Abukui asked in his heart suspiciously.
Soon, Abukui also learned about Croner's loan to the Ming Bank to purchase warships.
Abuque suddenly realized.
"What a clone, she is really as cunning as a fox. She actually wants to borrow money to buy warships to enhance her strength! Despicable! Shameless!"
Abukui was very annoyed and opened his eyes to himself. He didn't expect that Croner would play like this, and that countries could do this between countries.
The Dutch are familiar with trading and trading, and they are even good at trading and trading.
Therefore, Abuquer did not want to let his Netherlands' military strength in the East lag behind Spain, so he decided to apply for a loan from the Ming Bank, asking the Ming Emperor to ask him to buy the Ming warship on the grounds that he could give him greater strength to learn a lesson in Portugal.
Zhu Youxiao did not refuse.
Now the Ming Shipbuilding Bureau is overcapacity, and the sailing ships built are updated relatively quickly. Therefore, it is necessary to increase foreign warship orders to increase Shipbuilding Bureau revenue and thus support most of the ordinary craftsmen in the Shipbuilding Bureau.
So, Abukui ordered seven scattered scattered 2-year scattered scattered scattered scattered 27 warships and 1,500 soldiers from the Ming Dynasty.
After learning about it, Croner did not dare to fall behind, and he also increased loans and increased orders for warships, saying that he would dispatch thirty warships and one thousand soldiers from his country to assist the Ming Dynasty in regaining Goa.
The two sides were in an arms race, adding additional loans to the Ming Bank and orders to the Ming Shipbuilding Bureau.
No one is willing to give up the cake of Oriental Trade.
The competition ended until the two sides had no room for mortgage or concessions. In the end, both sides increased to the scale of fifty warships.
But the strength of both sides is still in a balanced state, and no one has ever been able to overcome one day, just like before borrowing from Daming.
However, the one who really made a profit was the Ming Dynasty.
Through loans, the Ming Dynasty harvested part of the trade profits of the two sides in the next few decades, and successfully turned the Shipbuilding Administration, which had always caused the court to pay for money, turned losses into profits because of selling inferior sailboats, and had more funds to develop new warships.
Zhu Youxiao successfully used the strategy of killing three scholars to make the Netherlands and Spain take the initiative to give up many benefits to the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, Zhu Youxiao is an open conspiracy.
Neither Spain nor the Netherlands have any choice.
In the future, in order to repay the Ming Dynasty's loan as soon as possible, they were even more urgent than the Ming Dynasty to attack Goa and seize Portugal's trade share.
When it comes to sending troops to Goa, the Ming Dynasty did not dispatch too large a large number of troops, but only sent a fleet of the Third Battalion of the Navy of the Guards stationed in Haojing, namely a first-class sail battleship and two second-class sail battleships, three third-class sail battleships, a total of six battleships, and a total of more than 500 officers and soldiers.
This naturally doesn't consume much military supplies.
Because the Spanish and Netherlands fleets are responsible for the main combat missions.
It is worth mentioning that both the Ming Dynasty and the Western foreign countries seem to have sent troops in only a thousand and a hundred people, not that it is really just a few people.
But because in this era, only soldiers in their own country are considered humans, and those who accompany black slaves and Japanese slaves are not considered humans, but only slaves. Even if all the deaths are not considered war damage, it is not within the statistical scope.
It just seemed that dozens of warships were dispatched, but there seemed to be few troops.
Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Netherlands and Spain each led fifty warships by their own governors, and almost all their troops were sent to Goa.
The Ming Dynasty sent a fleet to only squeeze the formation.
The Portuguese Governor of Portuguese, Castro, and other Portuguese were preparing for the attack of the Ming Navy.
But what Castro didn't expect was that the news he received was that the Netherlands and Spain joined forces with the Ming Dynasty to attack his Goa.
"What's going on? Why did the Netherlands and the Spaniards come?"
Castro asked in surprise.
Peso also replied in surprise: "According to our reconnaissance, they seem to have been dispatched a lot of warships! My God, they dispatched no less than a hundred warships together. When will Spain and the Netherlands have such strength?"
Peso couldn't help but tremble as he said.
"How did the people from the Ming Kingdom do it? They actually sent troops to attack us."
Castro continued to ask.
The Western styles of this era are still very primitive and barbaric in civilization, and they do not know how to unite and kill three soldiers like the Ming Dynasty, which had already accumulated five thousand civilizations.
Western countries will have to wait hundreds of years for this high-end gameplay of big powers to wait for this.
In today's era, their way of getting along with Western countries is still very primitive and barbaric. They get along with pirates like you, and I rob yours.
Therefore, at the beginning, Castro not only did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would unite Spain and the Netherlands, because he had deep conflicts between Portugal and the Netherlands, and even had conflicts with Spain. Now, he was a little confused about why Spain and the Netherlands were dealing with themselves for the Ming Dynasty and dispatched so many troops.
Castro couldn't understand this high-end gameplay for a while, so he had to continue saying: "I really can't figure it out, God, can you give me an answer? What's going on?"
"Maybe it was Spain and the Netherlands who wanted to seize our route and took the initiative to find Mingguo."
Peso understood a little at this time, replied, and said, "We obviously can't defend Goa."
