Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 473
In the Ming army barracks in Rabat, a group of Berbers wearing Ming army training uniforms stood in an untidy formation. Each of them had their beards cut off, and even their hair was trimmed into short inches.Facing the Da Ming instructor in front of the queue, these makeshift guys were very nervous.

Most of the Berbers in the barracks were bandits captured by the Ming army during these days. The Ming army quickly defeated more than ten groups of thieves around them. In fact, these people are not necessarily thieves. Many of them People are still dragging their families, similar to nomadic tribes. After all, it is not an easy task to survive in this difficult world. In order to survive, they can only burn, kill and loot.

They can't be regarded as the army, in fact, half of their day is spent on hard labor.However, in order to enhance their discipline and obedience, the officers of Ming Dynasty, with the help of translators, conducted militarized training on them such as queues, but it is not yet possible to hand over weapons to them.

If the Moroccan Consolation Department is successfully established in the future, then these more than 500 captured persons will basically become the Moroccan Fan Army.

Bai Mingxiu walked around and inspected the newly built military camp, looking quite interested.

The situation in the military camp can also be seen by the outside world. For the diplomats of those European countries, Daming occupied the coast of Morocco and trained the local army so quickly, which showed their mentality of wanting to operate here for a long time and reflected their I am afraid that he is also very determined to intervene in European affairs in the future.

Harvey also stayed outside the barracks and watched, accompanied by the Dutchman Hasholt.The two returned to their respective countries, did not stay long, and quickly came to Morocco, intending to discuss a solution to the problem with the Daming Global Fleet.

Hasholt sighed: "I used to think that the Ming people would simply come to Europe to show off their might and then leave. Now it seems that the changes that the Ming Dynasty brought to Europe may be even greater than we imagined."

Harvey also said: "Although Spain is not a particularly likable country, if it is defeated by the Ming Dynasty like this, it will inevitably make people feel sad."

The dispute between the Netherlands and Ming Dynasty is already inclined to be resolved. After the war with England and Ming Dynasty, the Netherlands can no longer maintain its status as a sea coachman.Although the Netherlands has lost a large number of colonies in Asia, as long as the armistice agreement is signed, the Netherlands can return to Asia for business.Ming Dynasty adopted a free trade policy, which was completely different from the mercantilism of European countries, and it was able to make money for the Netherlands.

Britain was also full of reluctance. When Harvey returned to London and proposed to James II that Ming wanted to take the New Netherland, James II was very indignant and prepared to refuse.But when Harvey said that the Ming army would destroy Spain in the next step to avenge Spain's massacre of Chinese in Luzon, James II was honest again.

Harvey is a very smart lobbyist. He told James II that the British parliamentarians, emerging aristocrats and business class must very much hope to see the downfall of James II. They may even collude with outsiders to overthrow James II. Under the rule of Emperor II, all they need to do is to cede a piece of land in the New Netherland to Ming Dynasty, but they can achieve their own impossible goals.

Losing his throne for a piece of barren land that Britain had just occupied, James II immediately understood what to do.

James II sent Harvey to Morocco again. He hoped to find out what the Chinese had planned, what kind of posture the Ming Dynasty would exist in Europe after Spain fell, and to assess the overall situation in Europe in the future.

These two diplomats, who were like friends, came to Morocco one after the other and saw a city in the ascendant. They marveled at the extraordinary construction capabilities of the Chinese, and were even more worried about the future of Europe.

Not long after, French diplomat Bassogo also came here.

After Bai Mingxiu inspected the barracks, he met with diplomats from the three countries outside the barracks.

In the first sentence, Bai Mingxiu said happily: "The Portuguese have reached a preliminary agreement with the Ming Dynasty. We will form a coalition to attack Spain. Portugal is expected to send 20000 troops, and the Ming Dynasty will send more than 3000 troops. , I firmly believe that with this kind of power, we can go straight to Huanglong and have a celebratory drink in Madrid."

The smiles on the faces of Harvey, Hasholt, and Bassogo were a bit far-fetched, and they couldn't say congratulations.European royal families are always closely related. Spain's collapse is unexpected, and at the same time, it makes all European countries in a deep worry.

Bai Mingxiu smiled and said: "We don't expect you three countries to agree to join this temporary alliance, but I can talk about my conditions. If you are willing to participate, then very good, Britain will get The Balearic Islands and the Netherlands can get the Flemish region of the Spanish Netherlands, France gets Burgundy and the Walloon region of the Spanish Netherlands. The minimum standard for you to participate in this coalition is to send more than 1500 people The scale of the army, and obey the command of the coalition command. In this way, everyone can get what they want, and everyone is happy, isn't it?"

Hasholt and Bassogo's breathing immediately became heavy. The Flemish region speaks Dutch and is considered a part of the Netherlands. If this region can be merged, it will be a big deal for the Netherlands. It's a godsend of luck.France has also coveted Burgundy for a long time. After the 30-year war, they obtained Alsace Lorraine. France is also very interested in the Spanish Netherlands. Although it cannot obtain all of it, Burgundy is tempting enough.

On the other hand, the Balearic Islands obtained by the British were somewhat painless.But Britain is an island country after all. Any area cut off from Spain can only be regarded as an enclave. It is impossible to directly merge into the area bordering the mainland like the Netherlands and France.

Harvey stared at Bai Mingxiu and asked, "Then will the Ming Empire take away all the territories of Spain?"

Bai Mingxiu smiled sincerely and said: "This example must be set up. The majesty of Daming and the safety of people's lives and property are inviolable. Therefore, Daming will take away all the Spanish territories in Italy and directly comfort Sihua Catalonia." Nigeria, and let the Basque Country and Mexico be independent, as for other colonies, including Florida, Dominica, Cuba, and the Spanish colonies in South America, then Ming will accept it with a smile.”
