Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1629, a mess
The Paris armistice agreement was not reached, and the two sides broke up unhappy.

King Louis XII of France was very courageous, and at the same time, the whole of France also learned of the content of the Paris Agreement. Suddenly, under the call of Louis XII, France formed another [-] almost overnight. Wan Dajun marched mightily towards the border with Spain.

They want to have their own powerful army to prove that France is the strongest existence on land in Europe. Even if they fail at sea, they will never accept such a shameful contract.

The indemnity is tens of millions of taels of silver, and they will not pay a dime in France. If they have the ability, they will kill all the French, and then the whole of France will be yours.

Marseille and Bordeaux will also be ceded. Who doesn't know that when Marseille declared independence, France would put all its power to suppress it, and it would never lose this treasured Mediterranean land.

As for Bordeaux, if it is lost, the French will have to import all the red wine they drink. Of course, it must not be lost.

The French were very stubborn. Louis XII didn't even bother to repair the palace in Paris. He was ready for a long-term war with Spain and Japan, and went to the front line to boost morale.

As for Portugal, since the defeat in the naval battle, Manuel I secretly bowed his head to his father-in-law, the Spanish king and his wife, and encouraged his wife to go back to her natal home to cry poorly.

The king of Spain has no other choice. After Portugal promised to follow in Spain's footsteps in the future, he had to let Portugal go after honestly becoming Spain's younger brother.

In contrast, the Netherlands has not been so lucky.

For a long time, the Spaniards have tried to establish a solid rule on the Dutch side, but the Dutch have been rebelling against Spanish rule.

This time, the King of Spain also decided to learn from the Ming Empire.

The powerful army and navy invaded the Netherlands together and carried out a bloodbath. At the same time, a large number of people migrated from Spain to the Netherlands, preparing to change the population structure of the Netherlands in order to establish the rule of the Spanish Empire.

This trick is the most commonly used method by the Ming Empire now.

In the Western Regions, Hezhong, Central Asia, Northwest, Nanyang and other places, the people of Ming Dynasty all did this. First, the butcher knife was in front of them, and they killed all those who did not obey the Ming Empire.

The rest of the people are naturally obedient, coupled with a large number of immigrants, it will be difficult to rebel in the future, and the rule will be extremely stable.

As for England, it was a complete mess at this moment. Henry VIII, who had just become king for a short time, originally hoped to rely on this war to change the situation in England.

As long as the war is agreed, not only does Spain not have to pay war reparations, but it can also take a sum from Spain, and by the way, the land ceded to Spain can also be recovered.

It can also take advantage of the trend to integrate the interior of England, divert internal conflicts with the feudal nobles, and even take back Hong Kong that was ceded to the Ming people as long as the opportunity is right.

Today's Hong Kong is the most prosperous port and city in Europe. The people of Ming Dynasty receive millions of taels of tax here every year, which made Henry VIII greedy.

What he lacks most now is money. Don't expect much tax revenue from England, the big feudal aristocracy has already been squeezed out, and the rest are cunning and cunning, very difficult to deal with.

Obviously, the young Henry VIII and the old Henry VII considered all this too good.

But I never thought about what would happen once the battle was defeated.

In the Battle of the English Channel, England's last sea power was buried in the sea, and the Paris peace talks were not reached. The angry Spaniards and Japanese were the first to drive the English.

The fleet sailed directly into the Thames River and bombed London indiscriminately, leaving the newly rebuilt London in ruins.

Then the Spaniards and Japanese, who were like robbers, once again staged the scene in Paris, bloodbathed the whole of London, snatched all valuable things, destroyed all the buildings they saw, and sold them as slaves if they didn't kill them.

The cruel Sanguang policy turned the city into ruins overnight, and Henry VIII had to flee in a hurry.

However, this was just the beginning. The Spaniards expanded directly in all directions with the original Hampton colony as the center, and seized more colonies again.

The Japanese robbed the Bournemouth area, began to establish colonial rule here, built a permanent colonial stronghold, and used this as a stronghold to invade the entire Western European coastline.

The huge profits from the white slave trade made the Wa people see a new way of making money.

This way of making money is even more profitable than getting gold and ivory on the golden coastline, and that is to plunder the white slaves in Europe.

Anyway, France refuses to negotiate peace talks, plus the Nordic region, the Holy Roman Empire, England and other regions have such a vast coastline and a huge population.

The Japanese people could plunder white slaves everywhere wantonly. A white slave transported to Hong Kong costs about 20 taels of silver. This kind of business, the money comes in too fast.

The Japanese people are already a little addicted now, and it is more difficult for the Japanese people to leave Europe now.

As long as Bournemouth is occupied, a colony will have a stronghold, and Hong Kong is nearby, so you can buy anything you want directly. Weapons, equipment, and food supplies are not a problem. The key is to plunder the white slaves. You can immediately get it to Hong Kong for resale, which is very convenient and fast.

Where in the world can there be a better deal than this, the money comes too fast.

The Spaniards and the Japanese cut their flesh on the island of England. At the same time, secretly, Spain also supported the feudal lords and nobles in England.

Originally, the feudal lords and nobles in England were very powerful, with their own territories and people, and even their own army.

They can often unite to overthrow the rule of the King of England. This has happened repeatedly in history, but later Henry VII suppressed these feudal nobles and lords with the powerful army he formed.

Now that England was defeated again, the feudal nobles and lords who had long been dissatisfied suddenly started to make trouble again, and the Spaniards secretly supported it.

Soon, England began to fight again, and the feudal nobles and lords united to overthrow the rule of Henry VIII.

At the same time in Ireland, the Irish took the opportunity to take back the northern part of the island of Ireland and drove the English out of the island of Ireland. Naturally, the Scots and the English in the north have long been misaligned.

In history, the English have brutally suppressed the Scots many times, and have accumulated few conflicts, but they are not as strong as others and cannot beat England.

Now that the opportunity has come, the Scots also began to attack south, attacking the English, and even threatened to take revenge.

All of a sudden, the whole of England was troubled by internal and external troubles, and the war continued. The young Henry VIII was suddenly overwhelmed and at a loss.

Only France still has a strong land power.

In France during this period, the main power was still on land, and the power on the sea was actually not strong. The land has always been the most powerful country in Europe.

Of course, the Spaniards do not agree or agree with this point.

Feeling insulted, Louis XII led an army of more than [-] troops, almost fighting against the Spaniards on the border with the whole country.

The angry French showed great strength, and almost defeated Spain, so that they had to urgently recruit troops to support the front line.

Don't let the French really kill Lesotho and the Spanish capital at that time. At that time, the French may have the final say on the armistice agreement.

Relying on the favorable terrain of the Pyrenees Mountains, coupled with what the matadors have learned from the Ming Empire over the years, they barely temporarily blocked the angry French.

It's just that the French army's suppression of the border also made everyone in Spain realize clearly that for a land power like France, if you defeat them at sea, it will have little impact on it.

Because its main power is still reflected on land, as long as the French are not defeated on land, it is absolutely impossible to force the French to accept such a humiliating treaty as the Paris Agreement.

Even if they accept it temporarily, they will tear it up soon. When they are relieved, they may just take the contract to wipe their ass.

After clearly realizing this, the King of Spain also hurriedly contacted the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, trying to find himself to send troops to attack France together, and also promised many benefits.

Now Spain has actually reached a very embarrassing situation.

Although they won the English naval battle and sent the Pirate Alliance into the sea, they could not defeat the French on land and were forced to hold them instead.

On the other side, on the Gold Coast of West Africa, the Koreans and Persians also took a breather. They finally got the warships purchased from the Ming Empire, and began to attack the Spanish colonies in West Africa.

At the same time, on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the Spaniards and the Egyptians were also at war. Around Alexandria, the two sides were always fighting with each other.

But what is gratifying is that Egypt's sea power is weak, and the Spaniards can attack and retreat or defend, but they are not imminent.

However, the third-line battle has brought tremendous pressure to Spain, especially the French on land. The more than [-] troops seem to have an attitude that they will never stop until they reach the Spanish capital.

Coupled with the threat of the Persian Empire and the Koreans in West Africa to avenge their shame, there was no strong sea power to maintain it, and a large number of Spanish colonies began to be lost.

This is a real dilemma.
