Daming Town Haiwang

In the royal palace of Paris, France, King Francois with a big nose is looking at a map of Europe, with a smile on his face.

"Haha, Charles V of Spain is doomed now. This time, it's not just France and England, even the Holy Roman Empire joined the war against Charles V."

"To kill the nobles wantonly and annex the land and property of the nobles is a serious violation of the aristocratic spirit and tradition of our Europe. This is the opposite of the whole of Europe."

"I think soon, even many duchies and states in the Italian region will join the war, and then attack on multiple fronts. I need to see how long you, Charles V, can last."

Francois looked at the map, which clearly marked the two main forces.

One is that a large army composed of many states of the Holy Roman Empire attacked the Netherlands that Spain had just taken back, and the other was that the navy of England and the navy of France directly attacked the Netherlands from the sea.

As for France itself, François was going to attack Spain from two sides at the same time, the Netherlands from the north, and the Spanish mainland directly across the Pyrenees from the south.

"The scale of the station this time is far better than the previous two. Many states on the Holy Roman Empire alone have formed an army of more than [-]. This is the first batch. If necessary, you can continue to recruit troops. .”

"England is also very strong this time. It has dispatched more than 200 ships and tens of thousands of troops. At least it can block the English Channel."

"Even the Holy See is calling on other countries to send troops to Spain, and we are all equipped with a large number of new firearms and artillery from the Ming people."

"Hey, this time, we France will get back everything lost in the previous two battles with interest."

Francois couldn't help clenching his fists when he thought of this.

He ascended the throne at a young age, and never held great power. Until these years, when he grew up, he began to gradually grasp the power of the whole of France.

The shame of the previous two wars is still fresh in his memory. For this reason, he has been working hard and working hard, in order to strengthen France's strength, make France great again, and defeat Spain to become the most powerful country on the European continent. .

However, because of the support of the Ming Empire, the Spanish Empire is becoming stronger and stronger. In addition, there are vast colonies, while France has no colonies. In contrast, Spain's strength is growing stronger and stronger, which makes him worried and anxious.

He clearly realized that France alone was no match for the Spanish Empire, especially the current Charles V, who was still the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

It's just that I didn't expect that Charles V would be so troublesome.

He actually believed in the words of some minor nobles who had returned from studying in the East, and wanted to follow the example of the Ming Empire and establish a powerful centralized dynasty.

Abolishing the territories of the nobles and taking back a large amount of power in the hands of the nobles seriously violated the interests of the European nobles, and also made Charles V stand on the opposite side of the ancient nobles throughout Europe.

This is simply suicidal!
Even though the Spanish Empire is powerful and has the support of the Ming Empire, it is not enough to fight against the nobles of the whole Europe, and failure is inevitable.

François was very much convinced of this.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from England, the Holy Roman Empire, the Holy See, and Italy have all arrived."

At this time, a minister came to the face of Francois I and reported to him.

"welcome!"

Upon hearing this, Francois said quickly.

Soon, the Duke of York sent by King Henry VIII of England, the Duke of Brandon of the Holy Roman Empire, Cardinal Paul of the Holy See, and the Duke of Aigle of Florence, Italy came to the palace.

Francois exchanged pleasantries with them, and after asking each other about the physical condition of the other king, he quickly entered the subject.

"Charles V of Spain acted recklessly, severely damaged, and violated our European aristocratic system and chivalry. He is an extremely cruel, greedy, and bloody monarch."

"Not long ago, the lowland area was occupied by his powerful army. Wherever it passed, the blood of the nobles stained the Danube, and the bones filled up the lowland."

"He has no aristocratic spirit, and wantonly appoints lowly commoners. He also pollutes the ancient noble lineage, learns from the emperors of the East, and arbitrarily canonizes women from minor nobles as concubines, and even marries commoner women as concubines. "

"He is a demon from hell, a complete tyrant, and nobles and knights throughout Europe are facing severe challenges."

"All our nobles and knights in Europe must unite to defend the honor and status of nobles and knights, and defend the spirit that we have been passing down for thousands of years."

"The devil Charles V must not be allowed to continue to harm the world and Europe. We must send him to the guillotine!"

Francois angrily pointed out the many crimes of Charles V.

This time, the grievances between France and Spain are not mentioned, but it is raised to a higher level, which violates the spirit of chivalry, destroys the traditions of the nobility, and seriously disrupts the European order.

No matter which one it is, it is enough for the European nobles to send Charles V to the guillotine.

"Your Majesty is very right. Our great King Henry VIII of England supports and agrees with your point of view very much. He is also willing to fight against the devil with the nobles and knights of France, safeguard the honor of the knights, and defend the spirit and blood of the nobles!"

The Duke of York from England stood up and said very solemnly.

"On behalf of the many states, autonomous cities, and princes of the Holy Roman Empire, we express our willingness to work with you to overthrow the brutal rule of Charles V and end the devil."

"Charles V is a tyrant, a devil, a complete bastard, a lowly man without aristocratic spirit or chivalry."

Duke Brandon also hastily stated his position.

In fact, everyone has already used telegrams to communicate with each other, and agreed and discussed with each other to send troops to Spain together.

The telegraph invented by the people of Ming Dynasty is very easy to use, and they can be quickly contacted across a long distance.

The armies dispatched from all over the place are already on the way, and they are now just to conclude an alliance agreement and sign related covenants.

"Charles V not only violated the spirit of chivalry and traditions by massacring nobles, but he also wanted to imitate the people of the Ming Dynasty and place the divine power below the king's power.

"He is a demon from hell and a traitor to God. He betrayed the Lord and will be punished by the Lord."

Cardinal Paul from the Holy See also criticized Charles V angrily on behalf of the Holy See.

In the process of strengthening centralization and imperial power, Charles V also realized that the church must hold a lot of wealth and power, so he also carried out reforms in this regard.

Learning from the Ming people, confiscating the church's land and property, canceling the church's power to levy taxes, and strictly prohibiting the church from selling indulgences, etc., not only consolidated its imperial power, but also gained a lot of wealth and land.

But there is no doubt that this greatly touched the interests of the Holy See, so it was also strongly opposed by the Holy See. Now the Pope is calling on European nobles and believers to resist the brutal rule of Charles V.

"Everyone, I propose that we all unite together to establish a knight alliance to defend the honor and spirit of nobles and knights!"

Seeing that everyone had expressed their views, Francois also suggested.

"We in England are willing to join the Cavaliers League~"

"Our states of the Holy Roman Empire are also willing to join the Knights Alliance~"

"Many states in our Italian region are also willing to join the alliance!"

"The Lord will bless you all, and bless the knights who defend the honor and spirit, and His Majesty the Great Pope will fully support you!"

The establishment of the Cavaliers Alliance went very smoothly, because the basic content and treaty had been confirmed by telegram in advance, and everyone came here to go through the process and sign the relevant agreement.

"Everyone, Charles V now has more than half a million troops in his hands, and all the troops use firearms and cannons purchased from the Ming Empire. According to news, Charles V also hired many retired Ming soldiers. Train your own army."

"The army in the hands of Charles V is very powerful."

"It only took them a short time to completely conquer the Netherlands. The powerful artillery from the Ming Empire is enough to tear apart any castles and cities with ease."

"Sharp muskets are enough to tear the armor of knights. If we want to defeat Charles V, we must have equally powerful muskets and cannons."

After signing the alliance agreement, Francois began to discuss with everyone about jointly fighting against the Spanish imperial army.

When this matter was mentioned, everyone immediately began to frown.

The army of the Spanish Empire is indeed very powerful, mainly because it uses a large number of arms and weapons from the Ming Empire, and also employs retired soldiers from the Ming Empire to train its own army, and there are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to help plan and command the army.

In contrast, although the alliance's army is much stronger than before, most of the weapons and weapons used by everyone are still old-fashioned firearms and cannons produced by themselves, which are not comparable to those made by the Ming people.

"Everyone, don't worry, I have already contacted the Ming merchants in Hong Kong. They said that as long as we have money, we can sell us as many arms and weapons as we want."

"When it comes to European affairs, the Ming people are absolutely neutral!"

Hearing this, everyone was speechless for a while, only ghosts believed Daming people's words.

But as long as the people of Ming Dynasty are willing to sell arms and weapons, it will be fine.
