Louis XIV is not stupid. He now has only one requirement for the navy. As long as he can guarantee the sea control in the Mediterranean and ensure that the transportation line for the arms he purchased from Yang Feng is smooth. He doesn't have to worry about anything else that dominates the Atlantic. His real battlefield is on land and not on oceans. As long as the French army flattened the enemy on land battlefield, he is the winner.

In this case, why did he buy so many warships?

Especially when he was destined to be slaughtered by Yang Feng, he would rather buy more rifled rifles and rifled guns than he would have bought more rifled guns and rifled guns! Even if a battleship starts at a price, it would be enough for him to buy guns and cannons for an infantry brigade. But the help a battleship could give him was so small that it was negligible compared to an infantry brigade with a full set of rifled weapons. What he needs now is to arm more army soldiers. With the crushing advantage of France's more than 10 million people, he pressed all the fragments of the anti-French alliance to the ground and rubbed them violently.

So he won't enter this game.

However, this did not prevent him and Yang Feng from colluding with the British.

He had the right to choose, but the British did not have the right to choose. Once he really gained a fleet with an overwhelming advantage, the British would be completely over. The British could withstand any failure on the European continent. Even if they were defeated, they still had a barrier to the strait, but they could not withstand any failure on the ocean, because it would directly face attacks from the British, so the British had no choice but to stick their heads over even though they knew they would be ruthlessly slaughtered by Yang Feng.

Since that's the case, let them empty their money bags!

In the end, the auction was crazily bid by Earl Deville and Howard to push it to wave after wave. Almost every third-level battleship auctioned was sold at the price of the second-level battleship. Even a third-level battleship with only sixty guns actually sold at a sky-high price of 100,000 pounds. You should know that building a first-level battleship is the only price. As for the one who obtained this expensive battleship, it is of course the generous Queen Anne.

May her beauty and youth last forever!

Well, Han Qi, who is supervising the auction, sincerely wishes this distant queen.

Her generousness brought a budget of 15 million dragons to the Ming Navy. All the income from the auction of these warships was used to build new warships for the navy. The British bought forty-five battleships and ten cruisers in one go with 15 million dragons. This huge sum of money could build thirty newest unprotected cruisers.

Well, these warships were actually theirs. The poor British sent these battleships from Europe from all over the world, and then bought them back at the price of vomiting blood.

This is indeed quite sad.

There are twenty-five battleships and forty cruisers left, which were photographed by France, Sweden, the Ottoman Empire and Oman respectively. However, as a reward for Louis' helping to raise prices, the warships captured by France were all conscientious. In fact, one battleship has not yet been 100,000 yuan, and a total of ten battleships and twenty cruisers have been returned to them, but these warships will not leave the Ming Dynasty, at least they will not leave until the end of the war.

Louis knew very well that his fleet would not be able to drive back before the end of the war.

As long as they sail out of Yang Feng's protection, the British will unceremoniously send them to the seabed.

However, the eight battleships and ten cruisers purchased by the Ottoman Empire, four battleships and six cruisers purchased by Oman, their respective envoys were very generous in the spotlight to buy the Longyuan banknotes issued by the Bank of the Ming Empire on the spot and paid for the payment. This kind of banknote, which is actually a gold and silver copy, can be exchanged freely. It has long become the main circulating currency in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and its subordinate countries. Both Ottoman and Oman are major slave exporters, and a large amount of goods are purchased from the Ming Dynasty every year. The Longyuan banknotes are also circulated in these two countries.

Now, because there is nothing that can be exported to the Ming Dynasty, European countries can only use gold and silver to pay.

Of course, this was not much different for Yang Feng. Anyway, by selling these warships, he obtained enough funds to build his new fleet at once. A huge amount of more than 20 million yuan was not only that the cruiser fleet he was building no longer needed financial allocations, but even the two Dingyuan-class ironclad ships that had just begun had enough construction funds. By the way, Emperor Yang was also short of money at this time. After all, he had to support more than one million troops, and he could be called a military force to fill the surrounding wars and let the daily military spending flow out.

In addition, there is also the huge railway network construction.

The railway system of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two types: national railway and private railway. National railway was the railway that extended to the border reclamation areas, such as to the northeast and northwest. No private enterprises were willing to invest in these railways. Private railways were more in the economic booming areas of the mainland. Now many small counties have private investment in railway construction, but the investment in the borders is large and there is no short-term profit, so the state can only invest.

And all this requires money!

"You have to go out and fight a disaster!"

Emperor Yang sat in his palace and muttered to himself with a righteous heart.

"Have the Indians sent Yinreng yet?"

He asked.

"Your Majesty, Bahadursha said that first Yinreng did not run to his territory, but was in the Gurkha area controlled by the second, and he did not give us the obligation to arrest him."

Yang Zhong said carefully.

By the way, Bahadursha was indeed really innocent. After Yinreng fled to Shannan, he ran directly to the territory of the Gurkhas, and formed an alliance with the Gurkhas and was trying to unify the chaotic Nepal. Although the place was indeed very close to the Mughal Empire, it did not mean that Bahadursha had the obligation to run to Yang Feng to a country that did not belong to him and arrest someone who had nothing to do with him. If Yinreng really reached his territory, he would not mind giving Yang Feng a favor.

But let it go with the Gurkha people...

Well, Bahadursha actually didn't dare to provoke the Gurkha people. These mountain people were very fierce. In fact, the Mughal Empire was often bullied by them in the later period.

"Since that's the case, let me tell him that I will send troops to capture him!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

Of course he knew that Bahadursha would not do this job for him. After all, he was also an emperor, not a dog he raised. Why did he have to do whatever he asked him to do? And what he wanted was such a result, which gave him enough reason to send troops to India, and then...

Well, he's going to fight a robbery.

Bangladesh.

After the Battle of Plassi, Klewu himself, as the commander, robbed a total of 200,000 pounds of wealth, and the robbery of the Bangladesh treasury increased the East India Company by more than 30 million pounds of wealth. Although the authenticity of this statement remains to be verified, the number of robbery himself is undoubtedly confirmed. This alone is enough to prove that the British made a fortune in Bangladesh. Although they were half a century later, the Bangladesh people at this time should not be poor.

Since that's the case, don't miss it.

"Transfer my will to establish the Indian Strategic Envoy's Office, with its headquarters in Kolkata, and the name of Kolkata was changed to Xuance Prefecture, and the Second Army was transferred to arrest Yinreng."

Emperor Yang said.

"Also, transfer the Jinyiwei Special Forces Team to a brigade!"

Then he said again.

"The minister respects the order."

Yang Zhong said in amazement.

The Jinyiwei Special Service Brigade is actually the Armed Police Special Service Brigade, but its real combat effectiveness is not stronger than the Army field troops. After all, as an internal force, they cannot use seven and a half kilograms of rifled guns as standard equipment like the Army field troops. However, they have to surpass the Army field troops in terms of light weapons, because they use different rifles. Unlike the Army that use paper-shell bullet-fired rifles, the Jinyiwei Special Service Brigade uses the latest leverage rifles with fixed-loading bullets.

Thirteen Taishang.

Well, it's Winchester.

But this army is not very useful in the battlefield where large corps fight.

After all, their responsibilities are different.

Of course, Yang Zhong didn't know that the Emperor transferred the Jinyiwei to the past because the Jinyiwei was more suitable for doing special work, such as looting others, and you should know that India at this time was like an undeveloped treasure house. There were mountains of gold and jewelry in the families of princes and nobles and temples everywhere. It was not just a Bangladesh with money, but in fact, Bangladesh was still a province of the Mughal Empire at this time, but as the empire weakened, the local governors had begun to evolve into warlords and princes who dominated the country, so Yang Feng was not very clear whether there would be a treasure house like a gold mountain waiting for him.

The best way to do this is to cast a wide net and don’t miss any possible places.

In this case, there seems to be a little less special service brigade of Jinyiwei. The special service brigade is organized with 500 people. To be honest, it is really a heavy task to carry 500 people. You must know that it is equivalent to more than 200 tons of gold, and each of the 500 people has to move more than half a ton of them. This is indeed a arduous task for the young soldiers.

"Just transfer four more times, five special service brigades should be enough."

Emperor Yang said immediately.

"Well?!"

...

Just when Emperor Yang was thinking about the brothers Yinreng and Yinyou, Kang Mazi's other son, who was still wandering, finally found his permanent home.

In the distant Central Asia, a desert that seemed to be forgotten by the world, a group of people who seemed to be forgotten by the world were moving their steps with difficulty. They were wearing iconic clothes that once ruled an empire. Although they were already ruined by the dust of time, they could barely distinguish the four colors of yellow, white, red and blue. They had no hats on their heads, but those braids that were like dead grass in winter were still telling the world about their past glory.

However, they are now just a group of walking dead.

"Everyone is cheering up. We still have hundreds of good men of the Eight Banners. The thirteen pairs of Taizu's armor have captured thousands of miles of land. We have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers who have been tempered for a long time. Why can't we create a world again!"

Yinsi licked his cracked lips, waved his fist as if drying a tree bark, and shouted in a hoarse voice.

Well, this is the last Qing army that fled westward.

Over the years, they have been fleeing from the inner gate to the outside gate, from the Hexi Corridor to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, from the foot of the Tianshan Mountains to the Kazakh Grassland, from the Kazakh Grassland to the Red Desert, constantly fleeing like a group of wild dogs without belongings, constantly relying on one force after another. They have given their wealth and their women to seek protection, and then watched one protector after another crushed by the Ming army's chariots like sand castles, and then they have to embark on the road of escape again. With the pace of escape, their number has also decreased day by day. Countless former princes and nobles have turned into dead bones in the desert, countless noble princes and nobles have turned into dirty shepherds to play with. Even Yinsi's concubine had to give it to Toukhan, screaming under his rough flesh, and in exchange for only less than half a year of survival.

After Tok Khan's death, the Kazakhs killed each other in order to fight for the Khan throne. They had to continue to flee west without protection. After once again offering their wives, they finally received Shiva Khan's acceptance.

However, it only took half a year to obtain it.

As the First Cavalry of the Ming Army arrived at Suiye, the Shivas immediately abandoned them and even prepared to use their heads to please the demon. The Shivas cavalry raided the Qing army camp. The five thousand Qing troops, the elderly, weak, women and children, were caught off guard, were directly dispersed. Yinsi only took these people to escape from the pursuit of the Shivas, but he plunged into the terrifying Red Desert. After several consecutive days of escape, all the horses were thirsty and exhausted, leaving only them to continue to escape on foot.

As for the goal...

Living now is the goal, so how can you think about anything else?

"Go to Russia, we go to Russia, the Russians will protect us, we will go to find the Turguts!"

Yinsi shouted.

The Qing soldiers who lowered their heads and moved their steps like walking corpses continued to move their steps with difficulty as if they didn't hear them.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and several Qing soldiers fell head-on in the yellow sand all over the sky, and then they stopped moving. None of the companions passing by were pulling, even if they looked down, but at the same time, Yinsi was stunned for a moment, and then he exclaimed ecstaticly: "There is water, the sound of water, right in front!"

All the Qing soldiers were stunned.

After listening for a while, they immediately burst into screams and ran forward desperately like crazy.

After rushing to a sand dune ahead, they were all stunned and looked at their feet as if they were foolish.

Water, boundless water, vast water, blue extends endlessly until it blends into one with the sky, and the waves surge under the wind, forming a striking contrast with the golden sand shore. The world seems to have only two colors.

Blue and gold.

I don’t know who shouted first, and then all the Qing troops rushed down without hesitation. Even Yinsi forgot everything and rushed down like ducks rushing to the riverside, directly rushing into the pure crystal-like water. Then he lowered his head and took a sip with indescribable happiness.

Then……

"puff!"
Chapter completed!
