Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1146, The Second Spanish-British War
In Europe, when the Ming people in the east are concerned about the rise and fall of stock prices, and where it is more cost-effective to emigrate, here is London, the capital of the Kingdom of England on the island of Great Britain in Western Europe.

Accompanied by a trace of mist, King Henry VII rode on his tall horse and walked slowly in front of the huge army camp.

The army in front of him was built by him with all his heart and soul. There are a total of [-] people. Not only did he use up the last penny in his pocket, but he also borrowed money from France and the Holy See for this. Got a whole lot of debt.

Coupled with the war indemnity that had to be repaid, Henry VII even sold his wife's gold and silver jewelry, and he was reluctant to wear clothes made of Daming brocade.

But Henry VII felt that all the sacrifices were worth it.

The [-]-strong army in front of him made Henry VII's waist straight, straight, and full of confidence. With such an army, he not only successfully suppressed those big nobles and big nobles who had been against him in the country very smoothly. Lords, get a lot of wealth from these misers.

And he has to prepare to lead this army to recover everything that belongs to England, and regain all the lost morals.

"Brave knights~"

"Please follow me, follow my steps, let us use the weapons in our hands to severely teach those invaders who are domineering in our home, and let them know how powerful we are in England!"

Henry VII roared vigorously.

The Treaty of London was an extremely humiliating treaty. England not only had to bear high war reparations, but also lost Hampshire and Cornwall. In Hampshire and Cornwall, the Spaniards and Ming people are still there Domineering, riding on their heads, eating and drinking Lazard.

"roar~"

Suddenly, there were bursts of roars from the huge army formation.

The angry English soldiers clenched their spears, longbows, and swords tightly, and kept roaring in bursts to vent their inner anger.

Soon, the mighty army was heading towards Hampshire in the south of the British Isle.

What used to be Hampshire in England, and now Andal, Spain, is different from Hong Kong under the rule of the Ming people. Although the geographical location and conditions here in Andal are much better than Hong Kong.

But the Spaniards didn't intend to build this place. The Governor's Mansion was set up here. The main task was to monitor England's every move. Chen Bing tens of thousands deterred England and urged England to pay war reparations on time.

Therefore, it has been almost two years since it fell into the hands of Spain, but Andal still hasn't changed much compared to before, and it should even be said to have become worse.

The King of Spain has no mercy for the people here, and the taxes levied are heavier than those under the rule of England. This was strongly opposed by the locals.

But here, Spain stationed an army of [-] people, and everything was suppressed by the army.

The heavy taxes make the people here miserable and lead an extremely poor life.

However, the Spanish soldiers stationed here live an extremely extravagant life, and they do their best here. Molesting women from good families and bullying men and women are basic operations, needless to say.

Therefore, the people here are extremely eager to return to the rule of England again, but obviously, this is not an easy task.

In the Governor's Palace of Andal, the Duke of Corster in Spain was frowning as he watched the intelligence sent back from England.

"Henry VII may start a new war soon!"

"This year's war indemnity, they have been making excuses for delaying delivery, and a large number of people have infiltrated into Andal to encourage those poor people to support it."

"Humph~"

"Don't you think it's so easy to get back the lost integrity?"

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Duke Colster's mouth.

Spain is also very eager for a war now, a war to prove that it is the number one brother in Europe, and to establish its own status and interests.

This Andal on the British Isle is just a big fart, it's nothing at all.

What really troubles Spain now are the interests of North and West Africa.

Spain managed to win the Three Kingdoms War. It was originally thought that everyone would be afraid of themselves and let themselves be allowed, but in fact the Spaniards were very wrong.

Whether it is Portugal, France, or this English pirate, not only did they not give in to themselves, they were afraid of themselves, and even desperately competed with Spain for many interests in West Africa and North Africa.

Colonies, slave trading, trade with the Ming people, etc., and even the pirates that had been hit hard once began to revive, and a large number of Spanish ships began to be attacked by pirates again.

This turned Spain into an angry Spanish bull, red-eyed and looking for a purpose, to vent its anger on the world.

Now that the English are hitting the guns, this is naturally the best.

"Report~"

"Your Excellency, King Henry VII of England is personally leading an army of [-] to attack us in Andal!"

Just as Duke Colster was contemplating, someone rushed to report.

"Come on~"

Kolster stood up instantly.

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Keep an eye on the Englishmen in Andal, if there is any change, kill them all immediately."

"Send someone to Hong Kong immediately and pass the news to Hong Kong Governor Jiang Liang~"

"Send the news back to Spain immediately, saying that the English have started to do something."

"Pass down the order and prepare to fight!"

Korster issued orders one after another very calmly. For today, the Spaniards have long been prepared.

Ever since they knew that Henry VII was fighting hard, the Spaniards knew that there was bound to be a war between Spain and England, and the English pirates would not just succumb and admit defeat.

They have always been the only ones who plundered others, but when it was their turn that England was bullied like this.

As Kolster's order was conveyed, the entire Andal began to sound a burst of chilling atmosphere, and the Spanish troops stationed here quickly assembled to prepare for the upcoming war.

At the same time, in various towns in Andal, the English who had been bullied by the Spaniards began to meet in secret, and the people sent by Henry VII were constantly cheering them up and mobilizing before the war.

"Great citizens of England, His Majesty the King has not forgotten you, he has been working hard to train the army~"

"Now that the army has been trained, His Majesty the King is leading his army here to rescue you. As long as you drive away the vicious Spaniards, you can regain your freedom."

"However, the Spaniards are not so easy to drive away. All this requires everyone's cooperation, and everyone needs to stab the Spaniards in the back. At the critical moment, cooperate with His Majesty's army to defeat these Spaniards in one fell swoop. .”

Similar speeches were made in every corner of Andal, and the English, who had been oppressed by the Spaniards, took up their weapons and prepared to cooperate with Henry VII's army to attack the Spaniards.

Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, Hong Kong Governor Jiang Liang is reading the newspaper very leisurely. This is the only way to learn about the situation of Daming in detail. It is too far away from Daming.

"What's the point of Mr. Liu creating this stock exchange?"

"Build a railway, pass a train?"

"Do you want to dig an Egyptian canal?"

While reading the newspaper, Jiang Liang couldn't help shaking his head.

The development and changes of this Ming Dynasty are really too big and too fast. It is estimated that when I return to Daming, I may not be able to adapt to it, because there are too many, too many new things constantly emerging.

"It is estimated that the railway train will not affect the European side for a while."

"But if this Egyptian canal can really be dug through, it will become extremely convenient and safe to travel to and from Europe in the future."

"The Atlantic Ocean is too stormy and dangerous. If you can take the route of the Mediterranean Sea, Egypt, and the Red Sea, there will be land along the way, and the wind and waves will be much smaller, and it will be much safer. More importantly, it will be easier to reach Europe by taking the western route." Getting closer and faster."

"It seems that Italy in the Mediterranean will benefit in the future, and our Hong Kong will become even more embarrassed. We can only contact more caravans from the Golden Isle, and a large amount of goods trade will be completed in the Mediterranean. gone."

Thinking of this, Jiang Liang shook his head slightly. As the governor of Hong Kong, he naturally hoped that Hong Kong would become more prosperous, but the policy of the imperial court was not something that he, a mere governor of Hong Kong, could decide.

What's more, compared to Ming's global layout, Hong Kong is really insignificant.

"Report~"

"Governor, Henry VII has led an army of [-] to attack the Spanish Andal."

Someone hurriedly came to Jiang Liang's governor's office to report.

"It's finally time to fight~"

"How long Henry VII has held back, I thought Henry VII had no guts."

When Jiang Liang heard this, he couldn't help laughing immediately.

Then he thought for a while and said, "Send me an order. The Hong Kong fleet will enter a wartime state from now on. Their mission is to ensure the Spanish supply line at sea and not let the Spanish supply ships be harassed by pirates."

"How long did it take to act? It seems that Henry VII has reached an agreement with Louis XII of France and Manuel I of Portugal. This time the war is definitely not just a war between the Spanish and the English."

"The French and Portugal will support the English behind their backs, while the Holy Roman Empire is behind Spain, and the Ming people and the Holy See will be the last ones to deal with it."

"So now, what we have to do is let the Spaniards have a bloody battle with the English!"
