King Henry VIII of England founded the famous Trinity College and announced the formation of the British Navy. When the British Navy was founded, there were only 56 boats and barges. When encountering Wang Ji's motley navy, they had to flee for their lives.

The Hundred Years War between England and France, which had ended long ago, finally signed a peace treaty. The British king was busy giving birth to a son, while continuing to fight against the Pope; the French king was busy renovating the Louvre, and conquering disobedient local lords.
Spain is continuing to expand and is at war with the Schmalkaldic Alliance. This is a religious war. The King of Spain is the Holy Roman Emperor and believes in pure Catholicism. A group of German nobles who have reformed have formed an alliance to fight against the Holy Roman Emperor.
And they joined forces with the King of Denmark to cause trouble, but the King of Denmark suddenly declared himself neutral.
By the way, Spain and France were also at war, but they fought two battles with no outcome, so they simply signed a peace agreement to end the matter.
The King of Spain is like Teddy. He has fought against Western and Southern Europe over the years. He obviously owns the gold and silver mines in America, but he has accumulated huge debts due to wars. Instead, he owes a lot of money to bankers.
In fact, the Ottoman Empire has formed an alliance with France, Britain, and the Netherlands to jointly fight against the Spanish Habsburgs, Italy, and the Principality of Austria. The Netherlands finally rebelled and tried to bring the seven provinces of the Netherlands to join the Spanish Empire.

East.
There was civil strife in the Xuanwei Department of Laos during the Ming Dynasty. First, the pseudo-Lanna king died, and the pseudo-Lancang prince was welcomed as the king. Suddenly, the pseudo-Lancang king was murdered, and various princes fought for the throne. The new pseudo-Lanna king returned to his home country with his troops.
.The Ming garrison intervened, and the puppet Lancang Kingdom was divided into two.
The Governor-General of Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty intervened and added Laos as a consolation envoy. Three princes from the puppet Lancang Kingdom served as the consolation envoy to the left of Laos, the consolation envoy to the right of Laos, and the consolation envoy to the center of Laos.
The pseudo-Lancang Kingdom and the pseudo-Lanna Kingdom were abolished, and the three consolation envoys have been fighting endlessly since then.

The newly minted king of North Korea, Li Xi, announced the abolition of the "four counties in the northwest" and the "six towns in the northeast", promised that North Korea would never fortify the border with the Ming Dynasty, and requested the Ming Dynasty to strictly restrain the Jurchen tribe's southward raids.
It was in this chaotic world situation that the fifth son of King Tianzhu, the great global navigator Wang Ji, led an expedition to the Kingdom of Denmark with his fleet!
…
"Your Majesty the Emperor, we have discovered a fleet from the east! The leader of the fleet claims to be Wang Ji, the former prime minister of China, the son of the Emperor of India, a global navigator, and the husband of the Danish eldest princess. They have been stopped by the Invincible Fleet. Do you want to respond?
Released?"
Charles V's focus was very unique, and he asked in shock: "The prime minister of China actually became the emperor of India?"
The Navy Minister replied: "Yes, I heard that the prime minister completed the reform in China, but because he offended too many nobles, he was forced to exile India as king. He first defeated the six-nation Sudanese coalition, and then went on a personal expedition, leading more than 10,000 people.
The soldiers went deep into the country alone and fought a decisive battle with the Sur dynasty's 110,000-strong army in the capital. The prime minister won a great victory and all the Indian states surrendered, so he called himself the Emperor of India."
Charles V had never been to India, but he only knew that India was very large and wealthy. After sighing, he asked: "Did this Indian emperor send his son to expedition to Europe?"
The Navy Minister replied: "No, the world navigator Wang Ji is the fifth son of the Indian emperor. It seems that because he has Western blood, he is not liked by the Indian emperor. He was exiled at the age of fourteen and could only sail a boat.
Sailing around the world. He is the Danish princess and the husband of your niece Margaret. This time he is leading a group of pirates to go to Denmark to seize the throne."
"A group of pirates, seizing the throne of Denmark?" Charles V laughed, "Haha, let them pass."
The King of Denmark wanted to be a mere outsider, but was disliked by both Charles V and the German nobles. If the two sides were not at war, he would have caused trouble for the King of Denmark. Charles V was happy to see the King of Denmark misfortune.
After giving the order to be released, Charles V went to the monastery.
In the past few years, his gout became more and more serious, and he often woke up from the pain in the middle of the night. He believed it was God's punishment, so he became more pious. Historically, this guy abdicated the throne in his later years and simply lived in a monastery to serve God.
Wang Ji was able to successfully pass the blockade of the Spanish fleet because he only used money to clear the way.
The commander of the Spanish fleet and the Spanish minister of the navy each received silk and porcelain. Otherwise, how could they be so easy to talk to?
Today, the Spanish fleet is divided into two groups, one is blocking the waters near Denmark, and the other is blocking the waters near Italy. Spanish soldiers and German mercenaries are fighting the German Protestant nobles on land, and the Dutch and Ottoman navies are acting as pirates.
Playing hide and seek with the Spanish fleet.
If Wang Ji wants to travel to Denmark smoothly, he must obtain permission from the King of Spain.
Leys Strait.
Wang Ji's fleet met the main force of the Danish navy.
In fact, he had been discovered by the Danish Navy a long time ago. The Danish Navy sent small boats several times to contact him, but Wang Ji never responded.
As a result, the Danish navy began to gather and block Wang Ji in the Strait of Les Islands.
This strait is less than 30 kilometers wide, and dozens of warships from both sides are deployed in formation.
At the beginning of the battle, more than 20 pirate ships bypassed Les Island and expanded the battlefield to the entire Kattegat Strait. They were outflanking the retreat to prevent the Danish navy from escaping.
The Danish Navy is indeed on the run!
Their maritime strength is inferior to that of the United Kingdom. They are all small offshore boats with a weight of less than 200, and the number of artillery is pitiful.
The four warships borrowed from Tianzhu took the lead in firing. The ultra-long attack range of the rifled cannons frightened the Danish navy. These guys turned around and ran away without saying a word.
The pirate fleet had already moved to the rear, and Wang Ji's main battleship was also pursuing it. Seeing that it was difficult to escape, the Danish navy actually rushed into Aalborg Bay, and then headed along the river to the Danish big city Aalborg - this place can be drilled out, and the river
On the other side is the sea.
Wang Ji didn't bother to pursue the navy, so he simply took advantage of the situation and attacked Aalborg.
This "Little Paris of the North" has not really prospered yet, but it is still considered one of the top three commercial cities in Denmark. Dutch merchants who want to do business in Northern Europe can go directly through the river without going around the peninsula, and Aalborg is
Stuck on this golden waterway. As long as he occupies this place, Wang Ji will have a stable source of wealth and gradually become rich by collecting taxes from passing merchants.
The waterside city has no city walls, only a castle, and the city hall and monastery are built outside the castle.
But more than ten years ago, the peasant rebels occupied Aalborg. The Danish nobleman John Lancao, who was responsible for countering the rebellion, killed 2,000 peasant rebels and also beat the castle to pieces. The castle has not been repaired to this day.
A town hall was simply built outside the castle.
Moreover, the local lord of Aalborg had been killed by the peasant rebels. In order to centralize power, the Danish king directly sent officials to manage the city. There were no local nobles armed with this city.
Seeing that his navy had fled, the consul of Aalborg (similar to the mayor) was so frightened that he urgently summoned the army and ordered the forts on both sides of the strait to fire immediately.
Four old-fashioned mortar guns came over and only damaged one pirate ship, which was immediately counterattacked by the fleet.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
After a fierce exchange of firepower, the forts on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were completely suppressed.
Wang Ji led 3,000 pariah musketeers and more than 2,000 private and pirate armed forces, landed on the river beaches on both sides of Aalborg, and easily occupied the fort.
The garrison of Aalborg, including the artillery of the fort, numbered only over a hundred people.
It was true that the Danish king was too poor to support such a large army. Even Aalborg's commercial taxes were mortgaged to Dutch merchants to repay the loan.
Thousands of foreign troops soon surrounded the city hall.
The "mayor" must be executed because he is a close official of the Danish king.
After the mayor was killed, a Dutch member of parliament came to contact him and asked: "Excuse me, where are you from? Why did you attack Aalborg?"
Knight Christine said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret and her husband have returned with their army."
The Dutch congressman immediately understood the situation and said: "We ignore Denmark's internal affairs. However, Aalborg's commercial taxes have been mortgaged to us by the Danish King. As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess admits to repaying the loan, we will continue to allow us to collect them here.
Tax, we will support the restoration of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Wang Ji came over with a knife, put the knife on the neck of the parliamentarian, and said in High German: "Whoever borrows the money will pay it back. I will not pay for anyone. But as long as I become the king, Orr
The business tax of the Fort will be reduced by 10%, and Dutch merchants are welcome to come here to do business. You can choose to agree, or you can choose to die! If the Netherlands dares to intervene in the war, I will form an alliance with Spain and directly lead troops to attack the Netherlands!"
The Dutch congressman glanced at the blade and said with a serious expression: "If you do this, you will definitely attract Dutch interference, which will not help you regain the throne."
Wang Ji sneered: "My father is already the emperor of India. This time, he gave me 3,000 musketeers. If I fail, next time I will borrow 5,000 musketeers and, escorted by the Spanish fleet, go directly to attack the Netherlands.
!”
The Dutch congressman said: "I will forward your conditions to the Parliament of the Netherlands. But please think twice. The seven provinces of the Netherlands are one. If you dare to attack the Netherlands, you will arouse the anger of the seven provinces of the Netherlands."
"
"Then I will wipe out the seven provinces of the Netherlands and get out!"
Wang Ji put away his sword and said to the group of pirates: "No looting or making trouble. This will be our city from now on!"
