Here in Europe, it's January 1666. The year 1665 that has just passed has been of great significance to many countries in the world.

For the Celestial Empire of the Eastern Divine Continent, the rebel force in its country, the Great Shun Kingdom, officially became a maritime colonial empire in this year, and also invaded the rich India from the sea. This is actually a big event with far-reaching significance! However, people at that time, including the far-sighted Zhu Cihong, did not realize that the invasion of India and the subsequent inflow of "Indian gold and silver" would have a huge impact on the feudal military state of Dashun.

The year 1665 was also a very important turning point for India, which was invaded by the Great Shun.

First of all, Aurangzeb fought a desperate defeat in the river...... 30,000 men marched into the river, and when they failed, they took 300,000 or 400,000 from the river, and also abducted 10,000 elite Uzbek cavalry and a famous Persian general Califa. With this force from the river, Aurangzeb's position in India will be even more secure!

The second is that the Dashun Empire colluded with the Dutch and began to regard India as a treasure land for them to make a fortune! This good business has just begun, and some of the good things in the future will give Aurangzeb a headache!

The third event that will profoundly affect the course of Indian history is, of course, the love story of Zhu Cihong and Princess Nisha...... The story only began in 1665, and there are still many puzzles waiting for the heroine of the story, Princess Nissa!

In 1665, there was also a drastic change in Central Asia!

Aurang Ze ran happily with hundreds of thousands of people to India to live a good life, leaving a mess for Anusa Khan and some of the Turkmen who supported him, as well as his allies, the Kazakhs and the Rakshasas.

Because of Aurangzeb's escape, the monk king who was stationed in Bukhara did not continue to the Oasis of Khorezm, but turned around and occupied Samarkand.

At the same time, Anusa Khan plunged headlong into the Ferghana Basin, and then the exit of the basin was blocked by Anukodun and Hu Zhongyong's soldiers and horses.

And in the Khwarazm Oasis, because of the news of the death of Anusha Khan and Prince Alim, it was immediately a mess, and the two sons who were left in the oasis by Anusa Khan immediately started a civil war!

Moreover, in order to become the only son of his father, the two great filial sons of Anusa Khan also invited foreign aid from each other! One asked the Ottoman Empire on the other side of the Caspian Sea to help, and the other went to ask the Ottoman rival Persia to help......

However, the anti-Junggar alliance still made some gains in 1665, and the Rakshasas and Kazakhs on the northern front still made progress in Zhongyuz. Because the main forces of the Jungar Kingdom are concentrated on the southern front, and the Rakshasas and Kazakhs on the vast northern front are all nomadic households with weak combat effectiveness, and these nomadic households can suppress the Kazakhs, but it is not enough to meet the shooting army and Cossacks commanded by the Marquis Golovin.

After several encounters between the two sides, the leaders of the six Dzungar nomadic households all found that even their own people had a large number of arquebuses, and they were not opponents of the Rakshasa army, whose training and organization level were significantly higher.

Therefore, in the autumn of 1665, the six Zungar nomadic households responsible for dealing with the Rakshasa and Kazakh coalition forces on the battlefield of Zhongyuz were constantly shrinking eastward, and by the end of the year, most of the Zhongyuz were taken away by the Rakshasa and Kazakh forces!

But the good days of the Rakshasas-Cossack alliance are almost here. Because at the end of the year, Zhu Cijiong, the acting king of the Ming Dynasty, finally finished his slow journey and arrived at Yining City, the seat of the Beiting Dadu Protectorate. A month before he arrived in Yining, 7,500 young guards had already marched into Chu River City.

The wars in Central Asia are still easy to fight!

In Europe, 1665 was a rare year of peace. The Second Anglo-Dutch War, which was supposed to break out in February of that year, was not fought because the naval upgrade campaign of various countries after the Battle of Kagoshima Bay had not yet ended, and the number of new bombardment battleships possessed by the British and Dutch was relatively small.

However, on September 17 of that year, there was a major event that would trigger a series of wars and eventually turn the situation in Europe upside down - King Philip IV of Spain died of appendicitis.

And the monarch of the stormy Spanish world empire has become a 4-year-old imbecile, Carlos II!

Queen Maria from Austria. Anna became the regent of this world empire, which was already riddled with holes, but was unusually large on the map.

But everyone knows that this woman, whose intelligence is not much stronger than her husband, cannot control the big and broken ship of the Kingdom of Spain, let alone the ambitious Louis XIV.

So when the wheels of history rolled to January 1666, the whole of Europe held its breath and watched the French court, as if waiting for the already powerful French king to launch a large-scale European land war!

Of all the European countries, the most nervous about this war was not Spain, which was about to be attacked, but the Republic of the Netherlands, the early enemy of the Spaniards......

Because Carlos II was, after all, the legitimate monarch of Spain, Louis XIV would not have been so ambitious as to challenge the accepted order of the European monarchies and overthrow the rule of a legitimate monarch.

And Carlos II is not in good health and may not live for a few years? When the time comes, Louis XIV will be justified in making another difficulty?

Therefore, it is unlikely that Louis XIV will directly attack Spain mainland now, and the rich Spanish Netherlands is his best target. Because the Spanish Netherlands is an enclave far from the Spanish mainland, and the people who live on this land are far closer to France than to Spain, where about half of the population is French-speaking! While the other half speak Dutch, the Spanish population is almost negligible......

Once Louis XIV became the master of the Spanish Netherlands, France and the United Republic of the Netherlands would become neighbors!

The Dutch, who had long since lost a decent army, were of course worried about such prospects.

Wei Qingmu, the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty to the United Republic of the Netherlands, also felt that the city was immersed in panic and uneasiness as soon as he arrived in Amsterdam!

"Bruce, are the French really going to attack the Spanish Netherlands?"

In the Ming embassy in Amsterdam, Wei Aoki and the representative of the Dutch East India Company, Bruce Brown. Fan. Dimon discussed the worrying situation.

"There is no doubt about it!" Bruce. Fan. "Louis XIV now had 150,000 new troops trained by the Prince of Condé...... Spain can't even get 100,000 capable of fighting the army, a considerable part of which is still pinned down by Portugal, and there are still mainland and Italian territories to defend, and the troops that can be deployed in the Spanish Netherlands are very limited.

In fact, the main force defending the Spanish Netherlands is now the British royal party...... However, their power was still too weak, and they would not fight the mighty Louis XIV for Spain. ”

"What about you?" Wei Qingmu asked, "You won't sit idly by, will you?" ”

Bruce. Fan. Dimen sighed: "It depends on the UK and Sweden...... But until the French had eliminated the British royal party in the Spanish Netherlands, Cromwell Jr. would not interfere. If Cromwell Jr. does not act, then Sweden will not do anything either. ”

He smiled bitterly, "The Republic of the Netherlands, which once had the strongest army in the world, is no longer a land power country that can play a key role on the European continent!" ”

Wei Qingmu frowned, "Such a situation won't affect the matter of the Emperor of the Celestial Empire's entry into the shareholder Indian company, right?" ”
