In the documents, a sinful name was frequently mentioned by the Spaniards, that is Siresma!

In fact, the South China Army was an out-and-out piracy. For example, Yan Zhang, Xiao Changrong and others cherished their feathers and did not show up in public. Siresma was not the same. He did all kinds of bad things. Accurate, he became a British citizen, returned to British Protestantism, and led a group of Protestant marines recruited from the United Kingdom to sack Catholic Spanish seaside cities as a British Protestant (he retained his official position in Nanhua as well as his title) to sack Catholic Spanish seaside cities. do!

Holding up a cross to attack, most of the cities in the battle report were broken and looted by him. The Spaniards regarded him as a devil released from **** and hated him so much that even children would not dare to hear his name Cry at night.

If the Chinese hadn't stopped him, he would have sold off even the Spanish clergy and forced the nobles to work!

The furious Spaniard offered a reward of 200,000 silver dollars for his head, and then his reward reached 500,000 silver dollars, and he was willing to do bad things even more vigorously.

In the Royal Court of Madrid, the Queen Mother Maria Anna and King Carlos II convened a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures. Everyone’s faces were very serious, even a staunch patriot like Bahammond Saldovar Ruiz, the Deputy Finance Minister. Cardinal Otto Princeton, who did not make a mockery of the main battle, was worried and worried about the current situation.

The Chinese offensive was fierce, and the troops had first-class combat effectiveness and flexible tactics. They turned the Spanish coast into a mess, and a large number of people had to move inland, which caused a great burden on the country.

Speaking of military affairs, Minister of War Pablo said: "Our army was dispatched, and more than 20,000 people were killed and three times as many wounded. The Chinese used their warships to maneuver flexibly. We were defenseless and powerless to resist. Your minister is guilty. Please Your Majesties (Queen Dowager and King) will punish you!"

Everyone shook their heads. Only the navy can deal with the navy. The army can't resist the navy's all-pervasive attack.

As for the Spanish Navy, there is only one word "ah".

Although Admiral Don Aznar Antonio preserved the strength of the Spanish Navy, he resolutely acted as a turtle when the South China Fleet attacked, and he would not leave the port to fight even if he was killed.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese installed 210 cannons on the battleships and bombarded the Spanish battleships in the port from a distance, so that the Spaniards could not even be turtles!

Now the Spanish battleship is still lying in the port to hold on, and I don't know how long it can last!

But no one dared to let the admiral play the battle. The mighty French fleet was defeated. How much can the reorganized Spanish fleet do?

"A total of 71 towns were attacked, and a total of 110,000 people were lost. Most of them were robbed by the Chinese, and their wealth was over 10 million silver dollars!" Minister of State Valencia Garcia Ya Alba said bitterly.

The Minister of the Treasury, Don Unai Simon, mentioned that it took more than one million silver dollars to settle the immigrants, and the emergency national debt was three million silver dollars. The market only subscribed for 600,000 silver dollars, only one-fifth of the task was completed! "

When it comes to money, all the nobles cry for poverty, and no one is willing to spend money to buy national debt to support it. After a round of subscriptions, the Minister of State Valencia Gaya Alba paid the most. He subscribed for 5,000 silver dollars. The rest of the ministers mean thousands or thousands.

Queen Maria Anna was so angry that she asked King Carlos II to talk about the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty before the Eastern Empire.

The little king said: "I study the history of the East and know what happened to Emperor Chongzhen in the East. It was because of the collapse of the country's economy. Emperor Chongzhen asked the ministers to donate money, and asked Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, to donate five hundred taels of silver. Not to mention other officials, you are one hundred taels and I am two hundred taels. Without an official salary, the family will starve...

The head of the state, Zhou Kui, said that he would only donate 10,000 taels, but the emperor asked him to donate 20,000 taels, saying that he had no money, so the empress Zhou, his daughter, gave him 5,000 taels. A thousand taels of silver came down, and he donated his own ten thousand taels of silver and his daughter's three thousand taels of silver.

When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, more than 400,000 taels of cash were found from the home of the former emperor's father-in-law!

Wei Shoufu handed over 13,000 taels of silver, each cabinet minister had to pay 100,000 taels of silver, and the rest of the high officials had to pay 70,000 taels of silver... As a result, Li Zicheng obtained more than 70 million taels of silver through ransacking his home.

After the little king finished telling the story, the queen mother looked awe-inspiringly at the people in the court hall and said, "Do you want to wait for the Chinese to break through Madrid and get a lot of money from you? Do you want the story of the East to be staged in the West? "

The nobles and ministers were astonished by these words, and Bahammond Salva Ruiz, the Deputy Finance Minister, was the first to respond: "I would like to offer half a million silver dollars!"

Minister of State Valencia Gaya Alba also immediately said: "I would also like to offer 500,000 silver dollars!"

In this way, 3.16 million silver dollars were raised at once, and the queen mother and the king pooled the whole amount. They contributed 840,000 silver dollars, a total of 4 million silver dollars, for national defense, economy and relief of immigrants.

Empress Dowager Maria Anna said with relief: "It seems that stories from the East will not be staged in the West!"

With the news of the money, the Spanish stock market stabilized, and the confidence of the people and the army recovered a lot~lightnovelpub.net~ The people reclaimed wasteland, planted food, went hunting in the mountains, and raised livestock. They mined, weaved, and worked hard Develop productivity.

The army casts cannons and firearms, and the officers and soldiers actively train.

The aristocrats had much less entertainment, they no longer overeating, did not pursue luxury goods, and became hardworking, exercising and training the army in order to resist the invasion.

But the optimism of the Spaniards did not last long, because the Holy Roman Emperor Yan Changwu promulgated the "Vienna Edict" in Vienna, stipulating: "All countries and friendly countries that belong to the Holy Roman Empire are not only forbidden to have trade relations with Spain, but also to All **** in general is cut off; all Spanish immigrants in Europe under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire are banned; all Spanish goods and merchant ships are confiscated."

"Any country or individual who dares to oppose the "Edict of Vienna" will incur terrible blows from the Holy Roman Empire and the South China Empire!" Yan Changwu issued a statement.

With his order, all land and sea trade in Spain was interrupted, and the country fell into a terrible state of blockade!
