However, Luo Sheng also had concerns. If the fleets of these two countries came to Asia were wiped out, would it attract crazy revenge from Spain and Portugal?

Spain and Portugal in this era were still very powerful at sea, and their fleets were said to be invincible all over the world. It was only when Luo Sheng encountered Luo Sheng. Therefore, Luo Sheng contacted Luo Xin through Lu Cuiqiao and wanted to ask whether he would fight or not?

Luo Xin's intelligence clearly told Luo Xin that the Spanish and Portuguese fleets in the South China Sea were really weak at this time. They did not take the power of Asia seriously. The two countries combined, less than 10,000 people, and there were black sailors and Indian soldiers among them. There were less than 2,000 soldiers who really belonged to Spain and Portugal. In Luo Sheng's view, they were just a mob. If Luo Sheng wanted to wipe out them all, it would be a sprint.

Why did Spain and Portugal dare to use such a little power to come and conquer the South China Sea and define the South China Sea as their inner lake?

This is really a matter of vision!

Regions limit their horizons, Europe has no major powers, and they have never experienced a war of hundreds of thousands like China. Take Spain as an example. The most famous in history, known as the most difficult Aztec kingdom conquest in Spanish history, was dispatched with only 800 soldiers. This was already a war for them!

The conquering the giant-like Inca Empire only required less than 200 soldiers. Therefore, in their opinion, the two families combined with tens of thousands of people, which was already sufficient preparation.

What power can stop them?

However, they encountered Luo Sheng in the South China Sea, and ships and guns that were more advanced than them. If Luo Sheng had not been concerned about Spain and Portugal's full revenge, he would have wiped out their expeditionary force long ago.

You should know that if the two countries really put their efforts into the battle, they would have more than 200,000 troops and thousands of ships. This made Luo Sheng feel worried. Luo Sheng knew very well about the overall situation. He was too far behind Luo Xin, so he did not dare to make this decision alone.

Luo Xin grabbed his head. He was so tired that he was dizzy in the cabinet these days. Now that he encountered such a big thing, his head was a little dizzy. He asked his servant to brew a cup of strong tea and drink it, and then he slowly returned to Qingming. He first recalled history, carefully analyzed the current situation, and finally made a judgment.

He believed that it was almost impossible for Spain or Portugal to devote the whole country to attack the South China Sea. It was really that the distance between the two sides was too far. It would take at least nine months to come to the South China Sea from them. The huge fleet and huge soldiers would inevitably require huge supplies, which was almost an insurmountable difficulty for Spain and Portugal. Moreover, once the war broke out, it would be fine if it could be overwhelmed. Once the war broke out, it would be fine if it could be dragged down and without supply, Spain and Portugal would not have a good result. The most important thing is that the loss rate for such a long voyage was very high under the navigation conditions at that time, at least it would be 30% and up to 50%. Half of the strength was lost without fighting, which was not something they could afford.

Luo Xin's memories of history reminded him of this era when Spain and Portugal were attacked from all sides. Whether it was Spain or Portugal, the real land area was actually very small. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to call it a small land. However, their maritime power was very powerful.

But this power was developed by the European powers not aware of the riches of the sea. When those European powers realized the riches of the sea, they would definitely compete with Spain and Portugal. Now Spain and Portugal are in such a situation where they are all enemies. Britain, Germany, Turkey, the Netherlands and others are all launching wars against Spain and Portugal, and their power is completely restrained in Europe. At this time, they have no power to expedition to the South China Sea at all.

Moreover, at this time, Spain and Portugal were forced to unite in the South China Sea. However, in Europe, they were not united, but hostile. Wars often occurred in the two countries. In the end, Spain annexed Portugal. In this case, how could Spain and Portugal go on an expedition to Asia?

What else can I say?

Then fight, you must fight!

Moreover, Luo Xin asked to take as many prisoners as possible and then figure out the waterway to Europe. Then Luo Sheng can try the waterway to learn more about Europe.

After the matter was explained, Luo Xin began to deal with the matters of the cabinet again.

In the cabinet, he was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, which is very important. If Xu Jie had not been able to hand over this part to Luo Xin before, and he would hand over it to the centrists. However, Xu Jie has suffered a big blow recently, and was suppressed by Gao Gong in the cabinet. Gao Gong proposed to hand over the Ministry of Personnel to Luo Xin, and he also wanted Luo Xin to deal with the Xu party. He could not go barefoot in battle, as it would be too ugly to eat like that.

Xu Jie originally opposed it firmly, but then agreed.

On the one hand, he knew that his opposition might not be effective. On the other hand, although he is at a disadvantage now, Xu Jie has never been a person who does not know how to fight back. In his opinion, with his relationship with Luo Xin and Gao Gong's purpose of handing over the Ministry of Personnel to Luo Xin, Luo Xin will inevitably suppress Xu Party officials. As long as Xu Jie catches Luo Xin and deliberately suppresses Luo Xin, it will cause an uproar. Luo Xin will inevitably be charged with the crime of using public instruments for private use, at least it will be improper handling of official duties. On the one hand, this is a suppression of Luo Xin, and it can take the opportunity to get Zhang Juzheng to raise a ranking and suppress Luo Xin, and on the other hand, it is a counterattack against Gao Gong.

The officials in the entire capital were nervous at this time, and even the big guys were moving around. As big guys, they must be able to protect their younger brothers, otherwise why should I follow you?

Once the hearts of people disperse, it will be difficult to lead the team.

Of course, this is also an excellent time to raise a banner and win people's hearts. As long as you can show the ability and attitude of a strong brother, there will naturally be someone gathering under your banner and going up the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire for you in the future.

Luo Xin easily distinguished the intentions of Gao Gong and Xu Jie. Luo Xin was not a fool. He went through two emperors in the officialdom and stepped up step by step from the bottom. So when Yun Zhiqiu asked him if he wanted to take the opportunity to mess with Xu's people, Luo Xin took a sip of the tea ceremony:

"Neither of those two people are good things."
