Chapter 1630, a mess

The armistice agreement in Paris was not reached, and the two sides broke up unhappy.

King Louis XII of France was very courageous. At the same time, the whole of France also learned about the contents of the Paris Agreement. Suddenly, under the call of Louis XII, France organized another twenty-two groups almost overnight.

Tens of thousands of troops marched toward the border with Spain.

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

The compensation is tens of millions of taels of silver, but France will not pay a dime. If they can, they will kill all the French people. Then the whole of France will be yours.

Marseille and Bordeaux also need to be ceded. Who doesn’t know that when Marseille was seeking independence, France had to use all its strength to suppress it and would never lose this treasured land in the Mediterranean.

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

The French were so tough that Louis XII didn't even bother to repair the royal palace in Paris. He was ready for a long war with Spain and Japan, and went to the front line in person to boost morale.

As for Portugal, after the defeat in the naval battle, King Manuel I secretly bowed his head to his father-in-law, the King of Spain and his wife, and encouraged his wife to return to her parents' home to cry for poverty.

The King of Spain had no choice but to let Portugal go after Portugal promised to follow Spain's footsteps and become Spain's little brother.

In contrast, the Netherlands is not so lucky.

The Spanish have always tried to establish solid rule in the Netherlands, but the Dutch have been resisting 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 launched a bloody massacre. At the same time, a large number of people were moved from Spain to the Netherlands, preparing to change the local population structure of the Netherlands and establish the Spanish Empire's rule here.

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

In the Western Regions, Hezhong, Central Asia, Northwest, Nanyang and other places, the Ming people did this. They first put the butcher's knife in front and brutally killed all those who disobeyed the Ming Empire.

The remaining people are naturally obedient. Coupled with the 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 in a complete mess at this moment. Henry VIII, who had only been king for a short time, had originally hoped to rely on this war to change the situation in England.

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

It can also be used to integrate England's internal affairs, divert internal conflicts with the feudal nobles, and even take back Hong Kong, which was ceded to the Ming Dynasty, as long as the opportunity is right.

Hong Kong is now the most prosperous port and city in Europe. The people of Ming Dynasty received millions of taels of silver in tax every year, which made Henry VIII greedy.

What he lacks most now is money. Don't expect much tax revenue from a big place like England. The feudal nobles have already drained them dry. The rest are cunning and cunning and very difficult to deal with.

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

But I have never thought about what will happen if I lose the battle.

In the Battle of the English Channel, England's last maritime power was lost in the sea, and the Paris peace talks failed to reach an agreement. The angry Spaniards and Japanese were the first to attack 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, like robbers, once again staged the scene in Paris, bloodbathed the entire London, snatched away all valuables, destroyed all the buildings in sight, and even sold people as slaves if they did not kill them.

The implementation of the cruel three-guang policy turned the city into ruins overnight, and Henry VIII had to flee in panic.

However, this was only the beginning. With the original Hampton Colony as the center, the Spanish expanded directly in all directions and once again seized more colonies.

The Japanese robbed the Bournemouth area and began to establish colonial rule here, building a permanent colonial stronghold, and using it as a stronghold, they specifically began to invade the entire Western European coastline.

The huge profits from the white slave trade gave the Japanese people a new way to make money.

This way of making money is more profitable than acquiring gold and ivory on the golden coastline, which is to plunder the white slaves of Europe.

Anyway, France is unwilling to negotiate peace, and the Nordic region, the Holy Roman Empire, England and other regions have such vast coastlines and huge populations.

The Japanese could plunder white slaves everywhere as they pleased. The cost of transporting a white slave to Hong Kong was about 20 taels of silver. This kind of business made money very quickly.

The Japanese people are now somewhat addicted to it, and it is now more difficult to ask the Japanese people to leave Europe.

As long as Bournemouth is occupied, a colony will have a stronghold. In addition, Hong Kong is right next to it. You can buy anything you want directly. Weapons and equipment, and food supplies are not a problem. The key is to plunder the white slaves and return them.

You can immediately get it to Hong Kong for resale, which is very convenient and fast.

There is no better deal in the world than this. The money comes in so fast.

The Spanish and Japanese were cutting flesh on the island of England. At the same time, secretly, Spain also supported the feudal lords and nobles in England.

Originally, England's feudal lords and nobles were very powerful, with their own territories and people, and even their own armies.

They could often unite to overthrow the rule of the King of England. This happened repeatedly in history, but later Henry VII relied on the powerful army he formed to suppress these feudal nobles and lords.

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

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

At the same time, here 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. The Scots and the English in the north had naturally been at odds with each other for a long time.

In history, the English brutally suppressed the Scots many times and accumulated few conflicts. However, they were simply inferior in strength and could not defeat England.

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

Suddenly, the whole of England was troubled by internal and external troubles and wars continued. The young Henry VIII was immediately overwhelmed and at a loss.

Only France still has strong land strength.

During this period, France's main power was still on land, and its maritime power was not actually strong. It had always been the most powerful country in Europe on land.

Of course, the Spaniards do not agree or approve of this.

Feeling that he had been insulted, Louis XII led an army of more than 300,000 people, almost the whole country, and fought fiercely with the Spanish on the border.

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 attack Lesotho and the Spanish capital, then the French may have the final say on the armistice agreement.

Relying on the favorable terrain of the Pyrenees Mountains and some things the matadors had learned from the Ming Empire over the years, they were able to temporarily block the angry French.

It's just that the French army is pressing down on the border, which also makes everyone in Spain clearly realize that for a land power like France, defeating them at sea will have minimal impact on it.

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

Even if they accept it temporarily, they will soon tear it up. When they calm down, they may just wipe their butts with the contract.

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

Spain is actually in a very embarrassing situation now.

Although they won the Battle of England and sent the Pirate Alliance into the sea, they could not defeat the French on land and were forced to hold them back.

On the other side, on the Gold Coast of West Africa, the Koreans and Persians also took their breath away. 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, the Spanish and the Egyptians were also at war. Around Alexandria, the two sides were always competing for it.

However, what is gratifying is that Egypt's maritime power is weak, and the Spaniards can advance, attack, retreat or defend, but it is not imminent.

However, the three-front battle brought huge pressure to Spain, especially the French on land. Their more than 300,000 troops seemed determined not to give up until they reached the Spanish capital.

In addition, the Persian Empire and the Koreans threatened to avenge their disgrace in West Africa, and without strong maritime power to maintain it, Spain began to lose a large number of colonies.

Now we are really in a dilemma. We provide you with the fastest update of Ming Zhenhai King, Chapter 1630, a mess, free to read.
