Iron Dynasty

Good news, what good news!

Zhang Xian grabbed Yue Yun's arm excitedly. Life in Yizhou was as plain as water, and a little turbulence was enough to make him look forward to it.

It is said that the Minerals Department values ​​the minerals in Yizhou, and will come to explore soon. If the mines are found, a group of people will soon be sent from Japan to mine.

Mine? This is really good news. Zhang Xian paced back and forth happily. In his opinion, the construction of the mine includes many auxiliary projects, the most important of which is the road.

If the imperial court wanted to open a mine in Yizhou, it would have to build a road here. If the road was to be built, a cement factory and a brick factory would also be built. By then, Yizhou would be really lively.

Do you know what mines the Minerals Department is going to mine? Zhang Xian asked again.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: This is no longer a secret in Qingzhou, and it's just that you are not well informed. The Minerals Department said that the minerals in Yizhou are mainly coal, sulfur, gold, and copper. It is said that coal is mainly in the north. And copper is mainly in the northeast to the east of the Central Mountains to the coast, but the people in the Minerals Department say that these minerals are especially rich in your sulphur.

Oh? No wonder I saw some people in Yizhou's market a few days ago carrying a basket of sulfur to sell. It turned out to be like this, not bad, not bad. Zhang Xian was delighted.

Yue Yun continued: It doesn't stop there. Before we conquered Yizhou, the Spaniards just landed in the northern part of Yizhou and were later repelled by the Dutch. Now that the cooperation between the Great Yu Kingdom and the Netherlands is getting deeper and deeper, they finally said To be honest, it turned out that Spain discovered an open-air gold vein in the north. This place is called Jinguashi by the Spanish. It is said that the gold mine is very rich. Originally, the Dutch wanted to mine it by themselves after driving away Spain, but we did not expect it to be captured by us. Yizhou.

Golden veins. Zhang Xian felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, It's wonderful, it's really wonderful.

The sugar cane was also eaten, and what should be said was said. Yue Yun stretched his waist and ordered the generals to return to the city of Relan. After four days of rest, the battleship of the Great Yu Kingdom slowly headed for Bohol Island.

...

Bohol Island, the Spanish Governor's Palace, Michel is reading the battle report about the Huayan Kingdom. After this period of massacre, more than 17,000 people from the Huayan Kingdom were killed by their guns, and 3,000 people were hiding. into the deep mountains.

Your Excellency, Huayan Kingdom has basically been destroyed. This time we have seized 7 million taels of silver and 500,000 taels of gold from Huayan Kingdom.

The lieutenant in charge of the operation reported with a cruel smile.

Well done, Joseph, these bastards stole so much money from us right under our noses, I should have killed them all earlier. Michel said coldly, for him, the battle report The human life is just a number to him, because in his eyes, these indigenous people are not human at all.

Joseph complimented: It's the Governor's foresight. I have ordered the collected silver, gold, jewelry and porcelain to be delivered to the Governor's private warehouse. These things can be shipped back to Spain in a week.

Mielle stood up, and he patted Joseph on the shoulder excitedly, You are really smart, I always like to work with smart people, my governorship is about to be filled, I will recommend you to be a newcomer here. Governor.

Thank you, Your Excellency. Joseph said excitedly, which was exactly what he dreamed of.

He then flattered: Your Excellency the Governor, I have also reserved a few beautiful women from the Great Yu Kingdom to serve you. These people deserve to die. It is their luck to keep their lives to serve the Governor.

Who said no? It's their honor that these bastards serve our noble Spaniards. Mielle smiled cruelly.

Joseph looked carefully at Michel, and he knew very well the cruelty of this governor.

In fact, the people who can be sent to Bohol to be the governor must be fierce and cruel, because the distant overseas colonies are usually places of exile for their own prisoners.

It is as if Australia is an overseas prison for the British, and Indochina is an overseas prison for the French, and the Governor is the custodian of these exiled places.

How could he subdue these rebellious prisoners without a ruthless heart.

And this massacre of Huayan Kingdom has been planned for a long time. In his opinion, Michel just wants to make a fortune before leaving office.

But he was smart enough to take advantage of Spain's current dissatisfaction with the Yuguo, because the Dutch were getting more and more powerful after working with the Yuguo, which made them uncomfortable.

With the help of Miel, the country finally gave Miel the right to handle all affairs here, so the massacre against Huayan Kingdom began.

Of course, he has no sympathy for these Huayan people. The slaughter of indigenous people is a common thing in Europe. Who makes them inferior in the eyes of Europeans?

Your Excellency the Governor, then I won't disturb you, please enjoy it slowly. Joseph gave a salute.

Mielle waved his hand and motioned for Joseph to leave, when night fell, he was going back to enjoy his delicious food.

at the same time.

The combined fleet led by Yue Yun and Eric had arrived a hundred nautical miles away from Bohol Island. According to their plan, they would suddenly attack the Spanish fleet in the early morning of the next day.

In this battle, they will completely destroy the Spanish fleet in Asia, and at the same time eliminate the Spanish colonists locally.

Taking advantage of the cover of the night, Yue Yun and Eric let the crew take turns to rest on duty. At this time, the dark color became their protective color.

They sailed through the night without any hindrance, and the next day, when the coastline turned white, they appeared at the Spanish naval port on Bohol.

Take a battle formation and grab a favorable position. Yue Yun issued a military order.

His voice fell, and the steamship headed by its own power quickly blocked the Spanish port, and at the same time aimed its side at the Spanish warship in the port.

Eric also ordered the warships to cooperate with the Great Yu Kingdom, but their warships were too clumsy in front of these nimble warships.

The huge fleet that suddenly appeared in front of them drove the Spanish soldiers at the sentry almost crazy, and they blew their whistle urgently.

The Spanish soldiers on the battleship heard the sound and quickly entered the fighting position, but their speed was too slow, and it was too late when they adjusted the hull.

With a roar, the opposing warships fired intensively.

Boom boom boom...

Amidst the continuous explosions, the first concentrated battleship exploded like popcorn in an instant.

Eric was stunned, his heart seemed to be pinched, and now he finally realized the gap between the Dutch battleship and the Great Yu Kingdom battleship.
