    Governor Sander also blatantly declared in the memorandum that after controlling the waters of the Ming Dynasty with the invincible fleet, only 5,000 to 6,000 elite Spanish soldiers would be enough to occupy Guangdong Province, which is far away from the center of the rule.  Then using the ports there and the nearly endless resources, it is easy to form a powerful army and continue to conquer the entire Ming Dynasty.

    And after defeating the Nanhai Group and freeing the Japanese from their blockade, they can also recruit a large number of experienced mercenaries who believe in God through priests in Japan to reduce the loss of precious Spanish officers and soldiers.

    Then in the next stage, a Spanish army of 12,000-15,000 people and 5,000 Japanese mercenaries will be organized.  This army will go all the way north and control Taiwan, Ryukyu, and Japan as a springboard for landing. However, it will not entangle the provinces along the way of the Ming Dynasty and directly enter its political center, Beijing.

    And they tried their best to capture the capital and forced the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, a ten-year-old emperor, to surrender.

    Then, in the name of the emperor, he ordered the governors and generals of each province to surrender, so that the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty could be settled without a fight.

    But care was taken to leave intact the existing machinery of government which so effectively maintained order over a large population.  Therefore, after the invasion of China, it was necessary to retain the Ming government to maintain the stability, prosperity and wealth of the Ming Dynasty.

    What¡¯s interesting is that Sander explained this: ¡®The people of the Ming Dynasty are the most civilized human beings outside Europeans, and they are also potential excellent subjects of the empire, so they should be distinguished from the Indian savages.  Therefore, the past aggression methods should be changed - China's population cannot be reduced. The disappearance of population means the disappearance of wealth.  ¡¯

    ¡°We must let those who participated in the expedition know that this time it was not about massacre and annihilation, but about making China a part of the empire. That would definitely be more in line with the empire¡¯s long-term interests than temporary pleasure.  Therefore, when invading China, we should adopt a cautious and gentle approach and not commit too many crimes against the Chinese'

    Governor Sander is obviously a wonderful man with great ruling talents. At the end of the memorandum, he also described in detail how Spain should rule China after the war.

    He emphasized that first of all, a large number of schools should be established to instill Spanish culture into the Chinese and introduce the Spanish way of life;

    At the same time, a large number of churches were established to spread the gospel of the Lord.  In particular, we must win over the absolute majority of farmers, who are extremely poor and most dissatisfied with the status quo, and are the best targets for missionary work.  As long as you give small favors, you can quickly develop a large number of believers, forcing upper-class landowners and nobles to be baptized.  Of course, they must first make their little emperor a believer in God

    Then, reconcile with the northern Tatars as soon as possible, turn the national power to the development of the navigation industry, and make full efforts to move south and west.

    Because when His Majesty Philip II becomes the master of China, he will automatically become the monarch of dozens of Chinese vassal states such as Korea, Ryukyu, Annan, Cambodia, and Siam.  The power can be extended to India overnight, making Spain a veritable empire on which the sun never sets.

    His Majesty the King can easily establish dominance among these vassals to establish alliances and trade.  'Then world trade becomes our domestic trade, to the dismay of our noisy neighbours.  ¡¯

    It can also drive the Tianfang Sect¡¯s sphere of influence out of the Eastern World.  'If necessary, we can also recruit a large army from the east to attack our real enemy-the Ottoman Empire from behind!  ¡¯

    ¡®Circumventing the entire earth to attack our enemies from both sides is a feat that even Alexander the Great had never imagined!  ¡¯

    'In addition, after the relationship between the Chinese and the Spaniards is further consolidated through intermarriage, assimilation, missionary and other means, their talents in agriculture and industry and commerce, especially the advantages of population, can be used to enrich our desperately lacking population.  colony.  ¡¯

    ¡®The Chinese people do not have land, so they have a perverted desire for land.  Once we allowed them into the Philippines, New Spain, and the South American colonies.  They will quickly help us develop vast colonies.  At that time, the colonies will no longer be bottomless pits for burning money, but will become the rich granaries and water sources of the empire, supporting His Majesty to unify Europe, and then completely eliminate the pagans and become the King of Kings!  ¡¯

    ??~~

    After Zhao Hao read it once, he handed the manuscript to Tang Baolu and others.  He picked up his cigar and looked at several warships on the sea in the distance, silently.

    Tang Baolu and others took it for fun at first, but thousands of people wanted to conquer the Ming Dynasty?  If you have a plate of fennel beans, you won't be so drunk, right?

    But looking at it, they couldn¡¯t laugh anymore.  Not only was the Spanish war plan indeed feasible.

    What¡¯s more important is the Spaniard¡¯s post-war plan, which is enough to make every Ming Dynasty person, except the Young Master, feel ashamed and reflect on themselves.

    How many years did it take for the Spaniards to come to Luzon?  Based on the collectionWith the absurd intelligence, we can discover the crux of the Ming Dynasty and know how to adjust the country's strategic direction. The best way is to go south to fulfill the golden signboard that the Celestial Kingdom has accumulated for two hundred years!

    Isn¡¯t this the line that Young Master has always adhered to, against all opinions?

    There are people within the Ridiculous Group who still don¡¯t understand.  Many people, even senior executives of the group, feel that if they can¡¯t make easy money at home, why go all out to develop in Nanyang?  What can there be in this shabby place like Luzon?  What does the life and death of twenty to thirty thousand overseas Chinese have to do with us?

    To put it bluntly, those guys in Jiangnan don¡¯t even look down on the land of Lingnan, Fujian and Guangdong, they only care about their own one-third of an acre!

    Although the young master has absolute control over the group, his lofty personal prestige makes everyone just shut up.  Strict assessment and inspection require them to work diligently.

    But each family is only willing to invest the talents and money earned through the group to make a fortune in Jiangnan, and is not willing to follow the master's footsteps south.

    ¡°Mr. Zhao Hao can¡¯t take care of this, right?¡±

    And this undercurrent of resistance will naturally turn into invisible resistance, making the young master restrained in some matters.

    Even the emperor sometimes can't do anything to his ministers. Although the young master is a man of his word in the group and his authority is like that of Taizu, he can't force himself to drink water all day long.

    Tang Baolu, a close friend, could vaguely realize that the young master formed the Nanhai Group, although it was mainly to unite the Jin gentry and maritime merchants in Fujian and Guangdong.  But it¡¯s not that they didn¡¯t open another table and let those who are willing to eat Nanyang¡¯s food take care of Nanyang¡¯s affairs

    After they finished reading the manuscript, it was getting dark.  After all, it¡¯s almost October, and the days are obviously shorter.

    "What do you think?" Zhao Hao asked with a slight cough.

    Before the guard could hold the lamp, only the orange light from cigars and cigarettes was flickering.

    "Ashamed, if the young master hadn't been born, we might have become slaves to the country's subjugation." Everyone sighed.

    "It's not that exaggerated. Spain itself is still facing a lawsuit." Zhao Hao smiled lightly and said: "When it comes to the international environment, they are far behind us."

    Although Philip II of Spain was a man of great talent and strategy, he collected endless wealth from his vast colonies, which was enough to support his ambitions.  But a territory that is too vast will inevitably bring too many neighboring countries and troubles.  And overly inflated self-confidence will definitely make too many enemies:

    For example, as the top thug of the Catholic Church and the master of Sicily, Spain must be on the front line against the Ottoman Empire.

    In addition, there is France, a powerful neighbor to the north that competes for hegemony in Western Europe. After being defeated by Spain, it is always dissatisfied. Although it is easy to dare not start the film directly, it secretly supports the independence of the Spanish enclave of the Netherlands further north.

    At sea, the Queen of England was originally the queen of Philip II. After his death, he wanted to marry his sister-in-law.  We are not from the same sect. Of course, Queen Elizabeth is not willing to marry her brother-in-law, so she can only swear to never marry. The two countries suddenly become superficial relatives.

    Encouraged by the queen who wrote "virgin"pronounced "poor Boy", many pirates per capita went to sea to become pirates and began to rob the Spaniards who ate alone.

    So Philip II still had to think about how to deal with his disobedient sister-in-law

    ?????????????????????? Because there were too many killings during the conquest of South America, there was a strong backlash from the indigenous people, and they had to send more troops to suppress it, etc

    Therefore, when we go on an expedition to China, we have to move to the rear.

    Zhao Hao remembered that in another time and space, Philip II approved the plan submitted by Governor Sander ten years ago only 12 years later in 1586 AD, which was the fourteenth year of Wanli.  A special committee was also set up in Madrid to further review and formulate detailed plans to attack China in terms of policy, strategy, tactics, action lines, logistics mobilization and public opinion propaganda.

    At that time, Philip II planned to eat his disobedient sister-in-law first, and then start implementing this ambitious plan after stabilizing the rear.

    But later, in the famous 1588, his Armada was defeated by pirates led by his sister-in-law

    When Philip II looked at it, what the hell, his navy was so useless?  How can you have the nerve to mention attacking the Ming Dynasty again?  All the military expenses for preparing the expedition were spent on rebuilding the Invincible Fleet.

    Since then, Spain's national fortunes have begun to decline, and the plan to conquer the Ming Dynasty has been completely shelved.

    So the Chinese could have viewed this plan as a joke.

    Of course, there is nothing to be proud of, because without Zhao Hao¡¯s hard work, they would still have become slaves to the country¡¯s subjugation, but they would have perished in the hands of their own slaves

    The problem now is that Zhao Hao, the big bastard, has come to Luzon.

    Not only did he come, he also made a mess of the Spaniards in Luzon.  According to preliminary statistics, the number of people he killed on land and sea, plus the Spanish who were wiped out in the city, exceeded 8,000.  Just counting the red-haired ghosts born in the Iberian Peninsula, there are about two thousand, right?

    Spain¡¯s national destiny is at its peak right now. How has Philip II ever suffered such a big loss?  Can he take this breath?

    "And at this time, my sister-in-law and the Netherlands were still just suffering from the disease. Philip II, who had just won the great victory at Lepanto, would his head heat up and his blood pressure rise immediately after reading this report?"

    That¡¯s really a good show!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)nbsp; Not only did he come, he also made a mess of the Spaniards in Luzon.  According to preliminary statistics, the number of people he killed on land and sea, plus the Spanish who were wiped out in the city, exceeded 8,000.  Just counting the red-haired ghosts born in the Iberian Peninsula, there are about two thousand, right?
