Chapter 955: Dawn Attack
"Good news, what good news!"
Zhang Xian grabbed Yue Yun's arm excitedly, this life in Yizhou was as plain as water, and a little wave was enough for him to look forward to.
"It is said that the Department of Minerals has taken a fancy to the minerals in Yizhou, and will soon come over to explore, and if it finds a mine, it will soon transport a group of people from the country to come to mine."
"Mines? This is indeed good news. Zhang Xian happily paced back and forth, in his opinion, the construction of the mine included many ancillary works, the most important of which was the road.
If the imperial court wants to open a mine in Yizhou, then it is necessary to build a road here, if it is a road, then a cement factory and a brick factory will also be established, and Yizhou will be really lively at that time.
"Do you know what the Minerals Division is going to mine?" Zhang Xian asked again.
After thinking for a while, he said: "This is no secret in Qingzhou, and you are really not well-informed here, the Mineral Department said that the minerals in Yizhou are mainly coal, sulfur, gold, and copper, and it is said that the coal is mainly in the north, and the gold and copper are mainly in the northeast to the east of the central mountain range to the coast, but the people in the Mineral Department say that the sulfur in these minerals is particularly rich in you." “
"Oh? It's no wonder that a few days ago, I saw a man in the market in Yizhou carrying a basket of sulfur to sell, and it turned out to be like this, yes, yes. "Zhang Xian is happy.
Yue Yun continued: "It's not just that, before we laid down Yizhou, the Spaniards had just landed in the north of Yizhou, and were later repelled by the Dutch, and now the cooperation between Dayu and the Netherlands is getting deeper and deeper, they finally told the truth, it turned out that Spain found an open-pit gold vein in the north, this place was called Jinguashi by the Spaniards, it is said that the gold mine is very rich, originally the Dutch wanted to mine it themselves after driving away Spain, but we didn't expect to be captured by Yizhou." “
"Golden vein." Zhang Xian felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, "Wonderful, really wonderful." “
The sugarcane was also eaten, and what should have been said was also said, Yue Yun stretched his waist, ordered the generals to return to the city of Gelanza, and after resting for another four days, the warships of the Great Yu Kingdom slowly headed towards Bohol Island.
……
Bohol, the Spanish Governor's Palace, Miel was reading a war report about the Huayan Kingdom, after this period of massacres, more than 17,000 people in the Huayan Kingdom died under their guns, and 3,000 people hid in the mountains.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the Huayan Kingdom has basically been destroyed, and this time we have taken a total of seven million taels of silver and five hundred thousand taels of gold from the Huayan Kingdom."
The lieutenant in charge of the operation reported with a slightly cruel smile.
"Well done, Joseph, these have stolen so much of our money right under our noses, I should have killed them all sooner." Miel said coldly that to him, the lives on the war report were just a number to him, because in his eyes, these natives were not human beings at all.
Joseph complimented: "Your Excellency the Governor is so far-sighted that I have ordered the collected silver, gold, jewels, and porcelain to be sent to His Excellency's personal storehouse, and they may be shipped back to Spain within a week." ”
Miel stood up, and he patted Joseph on the shoulder excitedly, "You are a smart man, I have always liked to work with smart people, and my governorship is about to expire, and I will recommend you to be the new governor here." “
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Joseph exclaimed, this is exactly what he dreamed of.
He then flattered: "Your Excellency the Governor, I also left a few beautiful women of the Great Yu Kingdom for you to serve you, these people deserve to die, and it is also their luck to keep their lives to serve the Governor." “
"Who's to say it isn't? It is their glory for these lowly people to serve our noble Spaniards. Miel laughed cruelly.
Joseph looked at Miel carefully, and he was well aware of the cruelty of the governor.
In fact, those who could be sent to Bohol as governors must have been fierce and cruel, for the distant overseas colonies were generally places of exile for their own prisoners.
It was as if Australia was an overseas prison for the British, and Indochina was an overseas prison for the French, and the Governor was the overseer of these places of exile.
Without a cold heart, how could he subdue these unruly prisoners?
And this massacre of Huayan has been planned for a long time, and in his opinion, Miel just wants to make another fortune before leaving office.
However, he was clever enough to take advantage of Spain's current dissatisfaction with the Great Chongqing Kingdom, which made them uneasy as the Dutch became stronger and stronger after cooperating with the Great Chongqing Kingdom.
With Miel's encouragement, Miel was finally given the right to dispose of all affairs here, and the massacre against Huayan began.
Of course, he has no sympathy for these Huayan people, and the slaughter of indigenous people is a common thing in Europe, who makes them an inferior race in the eyes of Europeans?
"Your Excellency the Governor, then I won't bother, and please enjoy it slowly." Joseph bowed.
Miel waved his hand and motioned for Joseph to leave, as night fell and he was going back to enjoy his delicacies.
At the same time.
The combined fleet led by Yue Yun and Eric had arrived a hundred nautical miles away from Bohol, and according to their plan, they would suddenly attack the Spanish fleet in the early hours of the next morning.
In this battle, they would completely destroy the Spanish fleet in Asia, and at the same time wipe out the Spanish colonists there.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, Yue Yun and Eric let the crew take turns to rest on duty, and at this time, the dark color became their protective color.
They sailed through the night without any obstacles, and the next day when the coastline was a little white, they appeared at the Spanish military port in Bohol.
"Fight in formation and grab a good position." Yue Yun gave a military order.
As his words fell, the steamer led by him quickly blocked the Spanish port with its own power, and at the same time aimed its side at the Spanish warship in the harbor.
Eric also ordered the warships to fight with the Great Yu Kingdom, but their warships were too clumsy in front of these nimble warships.
The sudden appearance of the huge fleet in front of them made the Spanish soldiers at the sentry almost insane, and they blew the whistle urgently.
The Spanish soldiers on the battleship heard the sound and quickly entered the combat position, but their speed was too slow, and it was too late for them to adjust the hull.
With a roar, the opposing battleship opened fire intensively.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
In the continuous explosions, the first concentrated battleship exploded like popcorn in an instant.
Eric was dumbfounded, his heart felt as if he had been pinched, and now he finally realized the gap between the Dutch warships and the Dayu warships.
