.Whether to go to war with the Spanish now, silence is needed to make decisions. From a comprehensive comparison of several intelligence reports, the total number of Spanish Marines in the entire Luzon Islands was about 500, and there were 200 naval officers and soldiers, which were Legaspi's core force. As for the other two thousand black sailors and 2500 Indian soldiers, they had almost no combat power.

The Spanish were already seriously short of troops, but they were stationed in Manila and Cebu. The reason why they dared to violate such a military taboo was because they did not take the indigenous people seriously at all - because they used only four hundred army and one hundred navy to conquer the West Indies; conquering Mexico... The most difficult "Aztec Kingdom Conquest War" in Spanish colonial history, only eight hundred army; conquering the huge Inca Empire only used one hundred and sixty-nine soldiers and no navy.

In Africa, the huge victory easily won by South America made the Spaniards more and more believe that their army eliminated lower civilizations, as simple as killing ants. This time, he could send so many troops, and thank His Majesty Philip II for his personal inquiries, which made the Mexican governor reluctantly give up.

Silence is still very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Wang Zhi and others. Taking Manila is not a problem. But the question is, will it arouse the anger of the Spanish? You must know that above the ocean at this time, thousands of Spanish warships were sailing, and nearly 100,000 elite naval and army, always guarding the territory, maritime rights and interests of the world's largest empire. Therefore, once a war begins, will the main force of the Spanish be attracted, you must first consider it clearly before making decisions.

After careful consideration, Chen made the decision to be the main force of the Spanish, and it was almost impossible to leave Europe. He had three reasons. First, the two sides were too far apart. It took eight months to go from Spain to Luzon to the nearest route. Moreover, this route and Asia and Africa are both the Portuguese's own sphere of influence. How could it be that the channel could be lent to them and let them touch their backyards? So the Spaniards had to come to Luzon and could only go to Mexico first, but in Bahrain Before the Nama Canal was dug, they had to go ashore first, then walk to the west side of the mainland and take a boat on the Pacific Ocean to continue sailing to their destination. After a while, it would take at least one year and three months. The terrifying difficulty of marching will bring terrifying loss of staff. Judging from current navigation experience, the personnel loss rate will be as high as 50% for more than one year. Although it can be transferred in Mexico, the pre-war loss rate of more than 30% was unbearable for the Spanish.

Second, although the Spaniards defeated France, reached their peak in national strength, expanded their territory to the greatest extent, and were enjoying the glory of the king of the world, the warlike Philip II made too many enemies and had to deal with the challenges of the Netherlands, emerging Britain, and the war against Germany and Turkey. No matter how many troops there were, they were firmly restrained in Europe. It would be good not to draw troops from the colonies. How could they draw forces from Europe for the sake of the colonies?

Third, good students remember silently. History textbooks say that Spain had always had plans for Portugal, and finally annexed the latter in 1580, 14 years later. Obviously, the Spanish had already had plans to capture the thief and king, take over Portugal, and take over its Asian and African colonies, so it was unlikely that they would cause trouble and send expedition forces around the earth to capture Asia.

Based on the three reasons, I believe that if there is no deep hatred or the reason for having to fight, even the war madman Philip II would never have to go on a quest to open up a "far Eastern battlefield". Therefore, after capturing Luzon, there will only be enemies from Mexico and South America, which is relatively less threatening. As long as you plan properly, you can withstand this low-intensity offensive and take this opportunity to gain a foothold in Luzon.

"The right time, place and people" Chen Si opened his eyes, slapped the Luzon memorial for help with a palm, and shouted softly: "If God does not give it, he will be blamed."

After making up his mind, he was silent but could not hand over the Luzonian letter of help, nor could he reply to Wang Zhi, because before that, he had to talk to someone. He then ordered Hu Yong outside, "Prepare a sedan chair, I'm going to the Ministry of Personnel."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hearing the visit of Silent Silent, Yang Bo, the Minister of Personnel, immediately frowned and said to the people around him: "Ye Owl enters the house, and good things don't come. I'm afraid this kid will plot against me again." Yang Bo also thought he was smart, but he was confused by Silence every time. In the end, he was sold and helped count the money. Not to mention the distance, just say that the last time, Xuanda reinforcements mutiny, he went out of the city to suppress him, and met Shen Mo at the city gate. Along the way, he lowered his eyebrows and looked with his eyes and gave himself a lot of soup. As a result, he really got dizzy. He knew him with emotion and reason along the way, and tried hard to talk. He really regarded him as a fallen young man, thinking that he could turn back.

Because he believed the silent nonsense and thought he was just going out for a formality, he did not punish Ma Fang and agreed to send him to fight with him. He was too kind to repay his grievances? Unexpectedly, this kid was only one hundred grateful on the surface, but when he turned around, he stole the military talisman and transferred Qi Jiguang's Shenji Camp.

It's all that way, Yang Bo is still illusory about the silent promise. It was not until the news of the victory of Wanquan Right Guard came that he woke up like a dream. It turned out that he had been playing tricks on himself. It's hateful that his life is wise, so he let this kid go to the east.

When Yang Bo thought of this, he was so angry that he was just like that of the other party. He had become a senior minister of the cabinet... Although Yang Bo did not take such a cabinet seriously, "I would rather bully the White-bearded Master than provoke the young man." Yang Bo did not want to attract trouble for his descendants, so despite his hundred reluctance, he still did not dare to neglect him. Before Shen Mo's sedan chair entered the door, he put on his life clothes and came to the courtyard to welcome him.

After getting out of the sedan chair in silence, he saw Yang Bo standing in the west and bowing, and quickly returned the gift and said, "How can Mr. Bo be like this?"

Yang Bo replied with a smile: "If this is not the case, wouldn't it make people laugh at me for being rude?" The two of them exchanged greetings and walked into the signing room together.

After talking about tea, he looked around silently, and asked with a smile: "Old Bo, I heard that you are crowded with people every day, why is it so deserted today?"

"It's because of you coming that I've driven them all to the front yard, otherwise it would have been like a party here." Yang Bo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This old bone is almost torn apart by them."

"Just keep your door and thank the guests, no one will see you." Chen Si gave him an idea.

"I don't want to do it, but some people have the ability to squeeze into the cracks in the door." Yang Bo said sarcastically, but he didn't dare to go too far. He immediately said: "It seems that it's the New Year, and the New Year is the Beijing Officer. All the officials in Beijing are burning their butts."

"This year is not easy..." said silently.

"Only when it is in chaos can we seek governance." Yang Bo said vigilantly: 'I cannot take the initiative, otherwise I will take this kid to Java again.' Then he immediately started to talk: "It's because my brother is in the cabinet every day, so why do you have time to come to my little temple?"

"I'm here to apologize to Mr. Bo," he said silently, stood up and bowed deeply to Yang Bo, "Because he is naive, Mr. Bo has suffered a lot of grievances. I'm so sorry."

"Where are there..." Yang Bo quickly supported him, but he shouted in his heart: 'It's coming again, here again, can you change something fresh?' He made up his mind and insisted on Qingshan not relaxing, and he must not be fooled again. Then he said: "Let the past be let go, and I no longer care about it."

"But I can't let go," Chen Mo said without realizing it, still with a sincere look on his face: "I can't sleep recently. I often reflect on Meng Lang at that time, and I feel more and more guilty. It's like Mount Tai pressing the top of the top... I want to press people into meat pie." As he said that, he turned his face over and said, "Why don't you hit me twice?"

"..." Yang Bo was speechless. As the bigger the Guan'er, the bigger the clue, the more silence he did, which made people laugh and cry. He had to wave his hands repeatedly and said, "Please spare me and stop giving me ** soup." He said seriously, "Who doesn't know in the capital? You, Master Chen, is so busy that you don't have time to come to play with me."

"What is it called "showing a joke?" Chen Si said helplessly: "I really come to ask for forgiveness."

"There is nothing to forgive or not," Yang Bo knew, and he was around with him, but he couldn't do it well and walked himself in again. He simply opened the skylight and said in a bright spot: "I know you are drunk and not drinking."

"What's that?" Chen Si asked with a smile.

"In Jingcha" Yang Bo said word by word. Seeing that Jingcha was about to arrive, the officials of the various yamen in the capital were all in a mess. But it was not the noise and noisy on the surface. On the contrary, the yamen were very quiet these days. They used to go to work, but they didn't love each other, and they were all gathered together to brag. Now they all abide by the rules. Without waiting for Xiaochao every day, they sat upright in the room, neither visiting each other nor whispering each other. No matter whether they were in trouble or not, they were all very busy.

But this is just a superficial phenomenon. During the Beijing Inspection, officials from both Beijing, no matter how big or small, must be included in the "Self-Examination of the Self-Examination" and count the places where they are incompetent. This is to give people a handle and be slaughtered. Once the person in charge of the Beijing Inspection wants to abolish you, he doesn't even have to do anything to do, and then depose the crimes listed by you, so that you have no place to complain about your faults. Someone wants to ask, then when I declare myself, I won't write down my shortcomings? That's even more than that. Because no one is perfect, unless a saint. So you have to give yourself some slander. If you are reluctant, it is a crime, which is called "arrogant and impetuous". Therefore, the officials' stay and leave honors and disgraces are all in the thoughts of the bosses of the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate. This is called "If you can do it, you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it; if you can't do it, it can't do it; if you can't do it, it can't do it; if you can't do it, it can't do it; if you can't do it, it can't do it; if you can't do it, it can't do it; if you can't do it, it can't do it; if you can't do it, it can't do it."

It is precisely because of this that Yang Bo is crowded here. In the officialdom, he can always be involved. Those lobbyists who are either related to their relatives or have great supernatural powers and can squeeze in to the door all beg him to be able to open his door, which almost annoyed him to death.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don’t worry about yourself when you are silent. Although the Grand Secretary also has to confess his own words, the emperor decides to stay or stay at the third rank or above. He didn’t have to buy Yang Bo’s account. But if you are in the officialdom, you will never be alone, but a member of a complex network of relationships. Don’t worry about yourself, you must also consider it for the same year and the subordinates.

The gang of Chen Si was definitely top-notch in the same year, but their weakness was that they were too late to pass the imperial examination. Jiajing entered the official career in 35 years, and it was only eleven years since the full year of this year. Needless to say, those who had made great contributions like Chen Si had been promoted to the first-class level, just like Lin Run and Zou Yinglong, who had made great contributions and promoted to the third-class right deputy chief censor, were rare and rare in the world. Most of the same year were still promoted normally... Those who made rapid progress, such as Xu Wei, the fourth-class Imperial College Supervisor; Zhu Dashou, the fourth-class young secretary; Sun Jian, the fourth-class Shandong governor; Tao Dalin, the fourth-class Jiangxi supervisor; Zhu Dashou, the fourth-class Fujian deputy envoy, all rely on their own height and with brothers to reach this level. As for more people, they should still be on the fifth-class sixth-class... let alone his students.

It can be said that the weakness of silence was fully exposed during this Beijing Inspection. Although he was a senior official with the first rank of cabinet, his connections were still in the growth stage and he could not face the cruel wind and snow. Like Mr. Xu, Mr. Gao Ge does not have such concerns... Gao Gong's peers, as long as they are still in the court, are all above the third rank, and Xu Jie's students have become senior officials in the department, and the Beijing Inspection cannot move their muscles.

After the Beijing Administrative Office, the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Censorate, the tone has been set - the era will be changed next year. In order to establish a new trend in the Longqing Dynasty, it is necessary to severely rectify the administration of the government. Therefore, this Beijing Administrative Office must not go through formalities. At least ten places should be used in this way. Beijing alone has 300 places.

The situation at this moment is a bit like the ones who agreed to the list of gods in the Romance of the Gods. The number of people in Huihui is certain. Your little brother is not unlucky, it is mine; mine doesn’t want to be unlucky, so it’s only his. Anyway, you have to collect a certain number of unlucky guys to report to the boss.

Chen Si is now barely considered one of the big guys, but he is the weakest one. If he doesn’t find a way, his connections will definitely be on the list. In addition, Yang Bo is so angry that he hates him that he is itchy. Who wouldn’t he cheat?

Yang Bo understood the silent thought very well. Looking at the boy's young face, Old Yang Bo felt a sense of happiness. If he had known today, why would he have to be the first? You had to do something at the beginning, but you wouldn't have fallen into my hands today?

With such thoughts in his mind, how could Yang Bo give up his silence lightly? So after pointing out his thoughts, he sighed and said with a slight slander in the capital, he has always been unfair to the officialdom of the capital, catching up with the wind and shadow, looking for the literature and making a name for himself, forming cliches and making friends with traitors, being bold and silly, and filling his personal bags, which are really harmful. You also know the determination of the court this time. It is too inhumane to just let me, the old man who buried half a piece of loess, sit in a row and be responsible for the inspection of the capital. "Is this errand almost sarcastic looking at the silence: "Don't look at those people, now they pretend to be filial sons and grandchildren, and come to us with a smile. Once you know that his official position is gone, you still hate to eat us alive? Do you think this is difficult?"

Before the silence came, he was mentally prepared to make Yang Bo vent his anger. There was no way. When he insisted on leading the army to fight, the old man hated him and later angered him several times. Old Yang Bo's resentment towards him might have piled up like a mountain. If he didn't let him vent his anger first, it would be a disaster to talk to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yang Bo felt sarcastic again. Seeing that Chen Si was smiling and not blinking, he accepted everything. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Everyone says that the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, but it shows that I can't be the prime minister."

If it is said that the old man is kind, it’s okay to be silent. He felt a little embarrassed first, coughed twice, and whispered: “You’d better go back. After all, it’s a teacher, so you shouldn’t be condescending to come here.”

"If I don't come, others won't be able to get into your old eyes." Silence still smiled, and a sincere smile could melt the ice for thousands of years.

"Oh..." Yang Bo was finally defeated by silence and sighed: "To be honest, the list of your boss and 2 has been handed over long ago. I can't afford to offend these two, except those on the list, none of their people can move; but I can't let all those who have no sects be covered, so this time your subordinates will be the focus of the Beijing Campaign." You can't let your own people lose money. Of course, there is no need to say this, if people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed.

Silence was not surprised. Kung Fu was outside the poem, and everything was too ordinary. So after knowing that his own people would hold the jar for others, he just put away his smile, and his voice still couldn't hear a hint of anger: "There is always a discussion on everything."

Yang Bo couldn't help but admire the silent endurance, thinking how could he cleanse all his anger at this age? But he still looked helpless and said, "I still said that, I can't afford to offend both of them."

"Can't you afford to offend?" Chen Mo suddenly laughed and said, "A joke, are there people who Puzhou Gong can't afford to offend?"

"I must not be able to do so, but I really don't want to do that." Yang Bo said with a hint of arrogance flashed across his face.

"I can promise you a condition." He said silently: "As long as I don't violate the king's law, I will agree to anything."

This is equivalent to writing a blank check. Yang Bo's heart moved and said, "I want three conditions."
