Chapter 544: The Prince Returns

Yan Shifan has been in Europe for more than a year, and he has completely forgotten the sorrow of leaving his hometown, and only occasionally thinks of his mother, he will have a hot pot, other than that, it is not too comfortable.

He even felt that he was a god, and every move, word and deed would have a strong impact.

For example, he met the envoy of Henry VIII, and during the discussion between the two sides, Yan Shifan mentioned the sentence that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

When the interpreter told the Englishmen the gist of the gist of the gist of the matter, King Henry VIII of England was immediately excited.

Although he was an out-and-out ruthless man, he never hesitated to kill in the face of forces that opposed him, but after all, Britain was still a small country of more than three million people, and after the Hundred Years' War, Britain lost its territory in Europe and could only be trapped at sea, playing an insignificant small role.

Henry VIII was in dire need of a support to facilitate his movements.

The proposition from the East was exactly what he wanted.

Henry VIII prepared a generous gift and sent someone to Yan Shifan, hoping to invite him to England and the two sides have a more in-depth conversation...... And at the same time, he began to kill with impunity.

The destruction of monasteries, the imprisonment of monks and priests, and the unsparing of any support for the forces of the Holy See.

In a short period of time, Henry VIII killed more than 10,000 people, seized large tracts of pasture land, and gave these lands to his cronies and supported a large number of supporters.

And these cronies followed the example of Henry VIII, and they also seized land everywhere, and on these lands, began to raise sheep...... After the Great Voyage, wool sales surged, and prices climbed rapidly.

Dispossess the peasants of their land and force them into the cities.

Moreover, it is stipulated that if the peasants who go to the city cannot find a job within two days, they will be thrown into prison...... As a result, the peasants, who had lost everything, had to accept a wage of two slices of brown bread a day and sell their labor at the lowest price.

After understanding the reality, you will know that the textbook that writes about free labor is simply rubbing rouge and whitewashing, excessive whitewashing, do you call this freedom?

This is clearly a slave!

However, Henry VIII was very satisfied, and his wealth was increasing rapidly, and many nobles praised him for his wisdom and prowess...... As long as we don't take into account the precarious workers at the bottom, Britain has indeed become prosperous and powerful.

In the midst of the prosperity of the fire, Yan Shifan came to London.

He was welcomed by almost everyone.

From kings and nobles to ordinary citizens, people gathered on the docks, waiting for the arrival of the messenger from the East.

The Qincha honor guard appeared, one team after another, allowing these guys to understand what is the style of the Heavenly Empire. London's incessant exclamations and exaggerated roars made Henry VIII feel ashamed.

No wonder people think of them as barbarians, and they are really a bunch of monkeys that have not evolved well.

Yan Shifan maintained his elegance, and after displaying the honor guard, Yan Shifan decisively gave away some silk and porcelain...... Undoubtedly, these gifts were greeted with countless admiration, and Henry VIII even ordered that a room be prepared in the palace for the display of gifts from the East.

A pleasant start was followed by more exchanges between the two sides.

"Venerable Emissary of the East, I would like to know what the Emperor of the East will do in the face of challenges?"

This is an old question, Yan Shifan chuckled, "I came to the West this time mainly to make friends, I don't have much interest in your internal disputes, and I shouldn't interfere...... I can only tell you that this situation has happened countless times in our long history, and even a few years ago, our Son of Heaven faced challenges. ”

"That'...... What did the emperor of the East do? ”

"It's very simple, order the monks to return to the laity and deprive them of their land, in this world, only one person has the final say, since it is a human world, it can only be a monarch, this is not to be doubted. We have had four emperors who have taken harsh measures against Buddhism, as well as some such as Manichaeism, Maitreyaism...... This is all against the law, and it must be severely punished, and even exterminated by the Nine Clans. ”

"The Nine Clans?"

"Yes, it's all the relatives who are eradicated, after all, they are too harmful, like weeds, leaving a little bit will soon become a large area."

……

Henry VIII was so excited that these words spoke to his heart.

He talked with Yan Shifan for three days, becoming more and more humble, and finally he even expressed his willingness to pay tribute to the Eastern Emperor, and he hoped that the Ming Dynasty would send more scholars to guide the reform of Britain.

Yan Shifan politely refused, he just came to make friends, and he talked about the history of the East, interfering in British internal affairs was not something that Daming liked.

What's more, Yan Shifan will continue to visit other countries to understand the situation in Europe, and he should not get too involved in Britain's internal affairs.

His high profile made Henry VIII even more pleased, this is civilization!

In order to follow in the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty and take the Ming as a teacher, we must make more drastic reforms!

The power of the Holy See in England must be swept away, and anyone who doubts the authority of the king must be killed.

In this land, the King of England reigns supreme!

Henry VIII's madness made Yan Shifan speechless, just in the past few days when he came, dozens of people and hundreds of people were beheaded almost every day.

And that's just London, and everywhere else, it's even more innumerable.

And Yan Shifan also found that who said that the people of the Ming Dynasty like to watch the lively, if you look at these Britons, that is what they really like!

Whenever someone wants to cut off their head, there is a sea of people outside, not only watching, but even entertainers performing, making it look like a temple fair.

These people don't care about right and wrong at all, maybe right and wrong don't matter, as long as they kill people, as long as blood is splashed and stimulates the nerves, it is enough.

Yan Shifan's evaluation of the British has only two words: barbarism and greed!

After saying goodbye to England, he left for Europe, and this time, he planned to visit Martin Luther.

The last time the two of them met for the first time, it wasn't very pleasant.

However, after spending some time in Europe, Yan Shifan also learned about Martin Luther's influence.

This advocate of the Reformation greatly undermined the authority of the Holy See.

Yan Shifan thinks this is a good thing.

Europe does need change, but it is not enough for the Holy See alone.

Europe needs to be more secular, is reform alone enough?

Religion should be overthrown completely.

I have to say that this is a big era of turbulence...... Almost every country is in the midst of drastic change.

On the shores of the Mediterranean, the Renaissance was reaped, and Spain and Portugal opened new routes and strode overseas...... The Reformation was going on in England and on the European continent.

Obviously, when we throw off the shackles of religion, we will move towards a new era.

If you think that's enough, you're short-sighted.

On the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, the Ottoman Empire, under the leadership of Suleiman I, flourished and reached its peak.

Even the most vegetable third brother, everyone has a fierce man from the sky.

From north to south, the Mughal dynasty swept through almost all of South Asia.

Frankly speaking, without Wang Yue's participation, in this world of great controversy, Daming would be the most undisturbed one.

There will not be too many opportunities left for any country, and if you miss it, you will pay a price, but no matter how strong it is, the result will be the same.

But again, as long as you seize the opportunity and take the lead, you can achieve a huge victory.

……

"Your Majesty, this is the exploration of the overseas situation in the past two years, as well as the situation in various places." Wang Yue muttered: "Europe, India, Ottoman...... These three places have the greatest potential in Europe, but they are in the midst of being divided, and the minister's proposition is to follow the trend, to give them more ideas, and to let them go the way we need to go. ”

"The Osmans are very strong, and they are far away from us, so it is not easy to deal with them. It should be based on communication. And the most important thing to do is India! Alta had already left the fruit ditch in the west and entered Central Asia. If we send troops from the sea and create a flank offensive posture and annex India, it will not be difficult. After gaining the manpower and financial resources of India, it was possible to attack Persia and then the Ottomans by continuing westward. ”

"Of course, compared to these three opponents, there are still three pieces of fat meat, which need to be swallowed in the mouth first, the first is America, the second is Oceania, and the third is Africa, which produces unicorn beasts!"

Wang Yue looked to Zhu Houxi and sketched a blueprint for dominating the world.

His Majesty the Emperor held his cheeks, looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally sighed.

"The world is really too big, and in the past, I always felt that the Ming Dynasty was everything, and the barbarians were not worth mentioning at all. Now I know that it is not so simple...... I'm afraid that even if we both get old, we won't be able to swallow such a large territory! ”

Wang Yue said with a smile: "Try to do it, anyway, there are talented people from generation to generation, and future generations can do better." ”

Zhu Houxi nodded, and suddenly remembered something.

"Wang Yue, the prince just wrote a letter to me, saying that he is going to come back."

Wang Yue said with a smile: "The prince has made a big move in Jiangnan, and he is indeed very meritorious!" ”

Zhu Houxi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "You also think the prince is good?" ”

"That's nature!" Wang Yue smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my student!" ”

Zhu Houxi nodded again and again, his eyes narrowed into a slit, "That's good, that's good!" I don't have to worry about it. ”
