Chapter 726: Declare war

Apart from Fusang, the place where Dahua invests the most overseas is Southeast Asia.

After all, they are close and close to each other.

In Southeast Asia, there are even many Han Chinese from the Central Plains who settled.

There are also many large Chinese businessmen traveling to and from Southeast Asia.

In early July, Dahua merchants’ ships were seized by the Spanish in Luzon on the grounds that Dahua merchants did not pay customs duties.

This delighted those few businessmen in Dahua.

You know, the Philippines at this time does not even have a decent country, where is the tariff.

The Philippines at this time was divided into several parts.

In the area of ​​Mindanao, there is the Sulu Sultanate, which used to be a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. Now it is actively developing relations and wants to continue to be a Dahua vassal state.

The population composition of the Sulu Sultanate is very complex. There are Persians from West Asia, local indigenous Malays, and mixed descendants of the two.

In the northern Luzon area, the Spaniards established a colony in Manila and ruled or affected the surrounding area.

The population composition of this area is also very complex, including Spanish, Han, local indigenous Malays, and mixed descendants of these people.

The Spaniards relied on powerful force to dominate this area and plunder resources.

But because of their small population, they actually did not effectively rule this area.

To the north of Manila is Luzon, where it is more in the form of clan and tribe.

These tribes generally do not provoke the Spaniards, but if the Spaniards deceive others too much, they will unite and resist.

In short, in the current complex situation, many forces have reached a fragile balance.

Spain does not really rule here, so Dahua came to Luzon to do business, and he never paid taxes.

Because Luzon is close to Dahua, the locals also know Dahua better, so they are not stupid enough to provoke Dahua merchants.

It was fine before, until the Spaniards were jealous of the Dahua merchants to make money, and then they sent a fleet to seize Dahua's merchant ships, wanting to blackmail some protection fees.

They didn't lose their minds completely, and they didn't directly rob.

Direct robbery is tantamount to hitting Dahua in the face. Dahua 100% will send warships to protect face.

But just because of the seizure and a grand-sounding excuse, this contradiction is not so intense.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​the governor-general of the Philippines, Francisco Paulino Hermenguido Treitno Franco Bahmond.

It's not the number of words, the name of this product is so long.

Spanish names are made up of the Christian name plus the father’s surname plus the mother’s surname plus some other messes. However, usually everyone only calls the other’s Christian name, or the Christian name plus the father’s surname.

Francesco felt that he was only asking for some business tax, which was a normal requirement.

Dahua will pay taxes when he goes to Western Europe to do business.

Even if Dahua was unhappy, he would protest at most, and then everyone sat down and negotiated and made concessions to each other.

Unfortunately, the thinking of Westerners is quite different from that of Easterners. Westerners put their interests first.

As for the Chinese, they care more about face.

Francisco felt that it was not worthwhile for Dahua to send troops for such a trivial matter.

However, after this incident was published in the Dahua Daily and the Chinese Commercial Daily, public opinion was immediately blown up.

I am majestic and majestic, so I don’t want to bully your little Spain. You dare to bully me, don’t you go to the hut with a lantern.

It's pitiful to see that, Francesco really never thought of bullying Dahua, and he didn't have the guts to bully Dahua.

They just want to play a rogue like a poppy, so that Dahua is bored and gives them some benefits.

This is a typical misunderstanding caused by different thinking modes.

In short, after Dahua learned of the news, the merchant groups were all mobilizing their own forces to put pressure on the court, requesting the court to send troops, to teach Spain, and to give them a comfortable business environment.

The people, this time also stood on the side of the merchants, and strongly urged the court to send troops to teach Spain in order to promote the country's power.

Although Dahua’s dispatch of troops will not bring any substantial benefits to these people, it can at least meet their psychological needs.

Dahua teaches the enemy, and they can feel very refreshed.

The military has formulated a plan to attack Sichuan, and the army has also set off.

Therefore, in the military, the willingness of the army to send troops to the Philippines was not strong.

But the navy is pleased. The navy said that it does not need the help of the army, nor will it use the army to grab logistic materials. They will overcome the difficulties by themselves.

Their Marine Corps has also been built for a while, and they can just be pulled out to accumulate actual combat experience.

As for military spending, those businessmen are not so active.

Verbal positivity is not good, you have to donate some money for meaning, otherwise, don’t blame the Navy for recording it on the blacklist in the future, and stumble when they do business in the future.

In short, the Navy does not need to worry too much about military expenditures.

The navy said so, and the army naturally did not have much opinion.

With all the people in the country supporting the dispatch of troops, Wu Changqing did not go to the crowd.

It's not a big deal either.

Anyway, it's just a colonial point in Spain, not Spain, so you don't have to think about that much.

After Wu Changqing approved, Dahua formally handed over the war note to the Spanish envoy in Nanjing, and the Spanish envoy Carlos in Nanjing almost fainted on the spot.

Today, several powerful countries in Western Europe have sent envoys to establish diplomatic relations with Dahua.

In addition, the four countries of England, France, Spain, and the Netherlands have left permanent ambassadors in Nanjing to be responsible for the communication between the two sides.

Secretly, they also do some intelligence reconnaissance work.

Carlos, who has lived in Nanjing for a period of time, has long been overwhelmed by Dahua's power.

Give him ten courage, he dare not let Spain fight Dahua.

Since then, Carlos kept begging to see His Majesty Majesty, saying that this was a misunderstanding, and he was willing to go to the Philippines in person to let the Governor of the Philippines release the people and apologize.

Carlos's attitude was very low, and Dahua couldn't ignore it, so he could only give him half a month.

When Carlos went out to sea, many people in the navy wanted to secretly send a warship to follow, and find a place where no one was left to sink Carlos' ship.

After all, this guy is very likely to destroy their chances of sending troops.

It is difficult to get credit without fighting, which is simply unbearable for some impatient people.

However, these people could only endure the thought of Lu Guangzu's fate.
