Here in the Golden Continent, the Ming and Spain have joined forces to fight against European countries, and the operation continues.

In a sea area in the Caribbean Sea, three Ming ships are biting two Portuguese ships, accompanied by bursts of billowing white smoke, and cannonballs are coming and going, fighting in full swing.

"These abominable Ming people, are they crazy?"

"And the Spaniards, who went crazy with them."

"They actually joined forces to fight us, at first I thought the news was fake, the French, British, and Dutch all said that they had been devastated by the joint efforts of the Ming and the Spaniards, and all the colonies here in the Americas were completely destroyed."

"I didn't expect the news to be true, they even have to deal with us Portuguese."

The Portuguese on the ship fled for their lives, looking extremely angry.

The Ming and the Spaniards actually joined forces, and at this moment, in the whole of America, only the Spaniards' colonies remained, and all the colonies of other countries were destroyed.

The pirate merchant ships entrenched here in the Caribbean Sea were also jointly wiped out by the Ming and Spaniards, and the pirates who were rampant were all completely stopped, either sent into the sea, or forced to flee back to Europe.

"Boom~"

At this time, accompanied by a deafening round of shelling, a large number of shells whistled in, and huge columns of water rose on the surface of the ship.

Several of the shells hit the ship, and there were bursts of wailing, and even more unfortunate was that one of the masts was hit and fell heavily, and the speed of the ship was reduced at once.

"Knock~Knock~"

Another salvo, dense shelling, whistling shells, made the Portuguese on board feel a deep despair.

The artillery of the Ming people is too powerful.

It's powerful, the attack speed is incredibly fast, and more importantly, the hit rate is very high.

In the face of such a formidable opponent, the bravery of their pirate spirit did not have the slightest room to play, and they could only watch as their ships were beaten by the other side.

"Raise the white flag ~ surrender!"

After another volley, the Portuguese decisively chose to surrender, and if they continued to fight, they would be dead, and if there were one or two more volleys, the ship would be sunk.

Similar scenes continue to occur on the east coast of the Golden Continent, and the forces of European countries on the east coast of the Golden Continent have been devastated.

From the first major strongholds to be destroyed, followed by the pirate merchant ships entrenched on various routes and seas, there is information that the Spaniards have, coupled with the powerful ships of the Ming Dynasty, almost all of them will inevitably die.

Only a few ships escaped back to the European side to relay the news back to Europe.

Spain, among the royal palaces of Toledo, the capital of Spain.

Queen Isabella I and Ferdinand II of Spain received messages from the Americas early on.

"This Columbus is really good at advocating, although the trade rights of the Ming Dynasty are very profitable, but our Spain will also be isolated by the whole of Europe because of this, and then we will be in big trouble."

Looking at the agreement signed with the Ming people brought back from the Americas.

For Spain, the land of the Americas does not matter, their population is already small, their own land is sufficient, and there is no problem at all in recognizing the Americas as the Ming Dynasty.

As for what the agreement said above, allowing Spain to exclusively enjoy the right to trade in the Americas is naturally very good, and if the trade of goods in the Ming Dynasty is monopolized by the Spaniards, it can bring unimaginably huge benefits to the Spaniards.

This is a real mountain of gold and silver, and it doesn't need to be too hard, just do a transit trade.

However, joining forces with the Ming people to understand the strongholds of European countries in the Americas and fighting against merchant ships and pirates in European countries is tantamount to isolating Spain.

When the time comes, Spain will have to face the Portuguese, the French, the British, and the Dutch, and war may be imminent.

It may not just be a battle for maritime trade, with the Portuguese and French likely to attack Spain from land.

"What an idiot, this cake is too big, we in Spain can't eat it alone."

Ferdinand II roared angrily.

"No, I think Columbus was still a very smart man, he saw it very clearly."

Isabella I smiled and shook her head and said, "The people sent to Daming have already sent back the news, and there is no doubt about the strength of Daming. ”

"They have a huge population of hundreds of millions, their shipyards launch thousands of ships every month, and their steel mills produce more steel than our entire country produces in a year."

"They are in the midst of an aggressive military reform, with plans to create a million-strong army and three powerful navies."

"The Ming people are bound to the Americas, and they will never share the Americas with anyone."

"For the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing in the Americas is not gold and silver, but the vast land, and they are immigrating to the Americas in large numbers."

"Even if we don't cooperate with the Ming people now, it is estimated that by next year, if the Ming people's navy is transferred to the Americas, the Ming people themselves will be able to clean up all the forces of our Europeans in the Americas."

"Our whole of Europe together is not an opponent of the Ming people, and it is a wise move to cooperate with the Ming people."

Isabella I still has a very good eye for the problem, she clearly saw the strength of the Ming people, and saw the exclusive ambition of the Ming people for the Americas.

On the issue of the Americas, the Ming people will not retreat in the slightest, and the reason why the Europeans are conceded in front is because their ships have not reached the east coast of the Americas.

"However, this will leave us in Spain isolated and facing enemies from all sides."

Ferdinand II nodded slightly, but said anyway.

"There are naturally risks if there are interests, the trade rights of the Ming people are not so easy to enjoy, it is better to actively prepare for war, our great Spain, perhaps we should also learn from the Ming people, so that we can become more powerful."

Isabella I did not deny this, and the countries of Europe would certainly not be reconciled.

Among the royal palaces in Lisbon, Portugal.

"Bang~"

Manuel I slammed the whole thing on the table like an angry lion.

"The Spaniards have joined forces with the Ming and attacked our colonies in the True Crosslands, which is a declaration of war against our Portugal, an invasion."

He roared as he walked around angrily.

Then soon, he seemed to think of something, and immediately laughed and said: "Haha, this is the Spaniards looking for death by themselves, the Ming is extremely powerful, but the Ming is far away in the far east, even if it is strong, it can't take care of us in Europe." ”

"The Spaniards want to monopolize the trade rights of the Ming people, and the entire European countries are enemies, this is self-destruction, even if Spain is strong, but it is absolutely impossible to fight so many countries."

"Come, immediately go and contact the French, British, and Dutch, and discuss a joint attack on Spain, so that they can know how powerful we are."

"Dare to join forces with the Ming people and attack our colonies on this side of the Americas, I want to let them know that this is the stupidest decision they have ever made."

……

Among the royal palaces in Paris, France.

Louis XII also received news from the Americas.

The great France was attacked by the combined efforts of Spain and the Ming Dynasty, their newly established colonies in the Americas were devastated, the French merchant ships were destroyed, and the noble French were treated as slaves by the Ming after they surrendered.

This made Louis XII feel as if he was extremely humiliated.

Louis XII was a relatively accomplished monarch, he reformed the tax system, reduced the burden of the nation, and his prestige in France was very high, and the strength of France during this period was also extremely strong.

The powerful French have always tried to regain the glory of their ancestor Charlemagne, and they are ambitious, but their main power is still on land, and they have little interest in overseas colonization.

However, just as they began to set foot in the Americas, they were attacked by the Ming and Spaniards, much to Louis XII's anger.

"It seems that it is time for us to tell the Spanish bullfighters who is the boss on the road of Europe."

"Contact the British, the Dutch, and the Portuguese immediately, the Ming are too far away, we can join forces to clean up the Spaniards first."

……

London.

At this time, the British were still synonymous with poverty, pirates, and backwardness, and people could not see a trace of the majesty of the empire on which the sun never set in later generations.

The British have no way to unify the small British Isles, and their strength is actually quite weak.

Especially the power of the sea, the British were far less powerful than the Spaniards of this period, and they even had to rely on private merchant ships.

The King of England would often issue privateer warrants to private vessels, and those with privateer warrants were nationally recognized as pirates.

Relying on such despicable and shameless third-rate methods, and at the same time accompanied the surging of American colonies and wealth towards Europe, the British quickly became rich by plundering the treasure ships of the Spaniards, and at the same time stimulated the development of shipbuilding and the strength of maritime power.

Eventually, through several wars, the Spanish Armada was defeated, and then it gradually rose to prominence.

But the British in this matter are more engaged in the shady pirate trade.

In the palace, Henry VII, the founder of the Tudor dynasty, walked around the palace with a frown, their newly established stronghold on the American side of the country was destroyed by the combined efforts of the Ming and Spanish.

This made him very angry, but the Spaniards of this period were indeed very powerful, especially the power of Spain at sea, which was enough to crush the British in this period.

And he had always been committed to maintaining a fairly good relationship with Spain, and he had his son marry a princess of the Spanish Kingdom of Aragon in order to conclude an alliance with King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile.

Spain is too powerful, the British must maintain good relations with them, and at this time they must not tear their faces with the Spaniards, otherwise the Spanish ships can be killed here in London.

"We are being bullied, we must show something, not to mention that the right to trade with the Ming people must not be exclusive to the Spaniards!"
