The Duke of Bragança and Philip IV made a deal with each other by secret letter, and there was no mutiny and no civil war as in history, which allowed both kingdoms to avoid internal friction, and Philip IV did not have to pay the silver directly in Spain, but paid the silver in the Americas directly to the arrivals in South America, so that it would not happen to the inhabitants who did not leave after giving the silver, and also avoided huge transportation costs.

Baron Daniel only knew that the coalition he participated in had won, but he didn't know what the results were, so Philip IV didn't know that England and the Netherlands had destroyed their main fleets, and if he knew, he would have sent troops directly to London. In fact, Sun Yuzhi knows this matter in his heart, but he will spread this matter in a big way, isn't this hatred for Da Mingla?

Philip IV found that the caravan had been robbed much less recently, and he had not even heard of an attack in the past two months, and his royal family also had its own source of information, but it was impossible to find out what the reason was, Daniel's intelligence solved the problem for him, it turned out that his Asian fleet participated in the combined fleet, and won the victory, defeated the combined fleet of England and other countries, captured a colony of the East India Company, and forced the Netherlands to withdraw from the war on the European continent, This is all the benefits brought by that magical country in the East, it seems that if you have the opportunity, you must meet the envoy from where, as for the matter of Luzon, it seems that it is impossible to come back, wait until you see the envoy of the Ming Empire. Philip IV wanted to see Sun Yuzhi, and Sun Yuzhi also wanted to see Philip IV, so they hit it off, and Sun Yuzhi had a trip to Madrid.

Sun Yuzhi rushed from Lisbon to Madrid, where he was warmly received by Philip IV. Of course, the reason for the enthusiasm was not how charismatic Sun Yuzhi was, but because Philip IV wanted to know how powerful the Ming fleet really was, and how the empire, which had been weak a few years earlier, had suddenly rejuvenated. A dozen years ago, he was told by colonial officials that he would only need a few thousand people to govern this vast empire, but now the empire's hand has reached out to Europe.

Sun Yuzhi had a chat-style conversation with Philip IV in his study, there was no taboo at all, and all the topics he talked about were about brotherhood and family affection, but Philip IV heard different meanings from these topics, and he was full of heart for the migration of Portugal, so that the Duke of Bragança was very grateful to him, not only in Europe, but also in South America, and then received strong support from the new Portuguese Empire in England and the European battlefield. He became the victor of all wars.

In the Persian Gulf region, due to the intervention of the English fleet, Portugal's power was expelled by the Safavid Dynasty, and it was not only Portugal that was affected, but also Spain and the Ming Dynasty, and now they have been cut off from supplies, hoping that Spain and Portugal will join forces to regain the sphere of influence in this area, and the Ming will provide all help.

On the European continent, cut off the dirty hand of England, unite the Prussians to defeat the Protestants of France, Sweden and other religions, safeguard the interests of Spain, block the power of England on that archipelago, and at most let them develop to North America, even if it is better to let Africa not get involved, this is a dangerous people, extremely aggressive.

Sun Yuzhi didn't know why Zhu Youxiao tried his best to curb the development of England, but Zhu Youxiao said so, and Sun Yuzhi naturally explained it to Philip IV like this. As for what Philip IV desperately wanted to know, how the Ming fleet defeated the fleets of England, the Netherlands and other countries, Sun Yuzhi simply said that he used new weapons, and asked him to take a look, which made Philip IV's heart itch to death, and he couldn't wait to see the Ming warship immediately to see what kind of new weapons it was.

Philip IV seems to be more concerned about the Dutch problem, the Netherlands is the legacy left by Philip I to Philip II, which is part of Spain, but there is a United Republic of Seven Provinces, which is actually a federation of merchants, which means that they have gathered a lot of wealth, which should belong to the Kingdom of Spain, and should not be privately owned by these merchants, this is the idea of Philip IV.

The Netherlands is the most developed area of the shipbuilding industry in the Kingdom of Spain, and most of Spain's original warships were built there, but since the United Republic of the Seven Provinces declared independence, it has lost control there, and Spain has also lost a ship base, Philip IV dreamed of regaining control of the Netherlands, but the Netherlands and England are hot, which has kept Philip IV in the throat, how to conquer these merchants has always been his dream, and the combined fleet of the Ming Dynasty provided him with an opportunity.

If the East India Company formed by the United Republic of the Netherlands was threatened with the partition of the United Republic of the Netherlands, perhaps these merchants would succumb, and this is their seven inches, and they have lost a huge source of wealth, and these merchants are not bullshit. Of course, if the company were to be dissolved completely, Spain would not get much of anything, and the best way to do this was to threaten that it would be a good idea for them to build warships for themselves, and also to use it to fight the power of the English, which was the idea that Sun Yuzhi provided to Philip IV. As for the specific method of operation, the form of negotiation, and the scheme of distribution of benefits, it was up to Philip IV himself to decide.

Reminded by Sun Yuzhi's way of thinking, Philip IV also felt that it was better than killing these merchants directly, even if the East India Company was disbanded, it would only increase their hatred, but it was a good idea to unite the Ming Dynasty to choke them by the throat and let them contribute to building warships for themselves for high profits, Philip IV was almost happy for Sun Yuzhi's genius idea, and directly gave Sun Yuzhi a box of gold, as well as a whole shipload of high-end wine.

Not to mention Sun Yuzhi, even Zhu Youxiao, who came over in later generations, did not know how the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, which were thousands of miles away, could become the territory of Spain, and there were constant wars with France. For example, the relationship between Spain and Portugal was originally two countries, but because of the blood relationship between the royal families, Philip II became the king of the two countries, and the two countries became a union, but the contradictions between the nobles continued, which led to the later independence of Portugal, and some countries were separated by brothers, and one country became three countries, this example is that the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire divided his three sons into three kings, that is, the later Germany, France, The embryonic form of Italy, these relations are so complicated that the Europeans themselves have a headache, and it is conceivable that it would be abnormal if there was no war.

Whether it's Zhu Youxiao or Sun Yuzhi, no matter how messy these complicated relationships are, all they think about is letting them be as chaotic as possible, and the more chaotic they are, the better they can profit from it, if they are quiet, they will be in trouble, just like Zhu Youxiao knows that their Eight-Nation Alliance Army has entered Beijing, and such a tragedy will never happen again.

It is the nature of merchants to pursue profit, and if there are enough interests, they will cooperate with the devil, and now the Netherlands is faced with such a choice. Cohen's messenger had actually arrived in Europe on a merchant ship with the messenger sent by Sanchez, and when the news of the partition was revealed at the East India Company's shareholders' meeting, the whole conference hall was filled with clamor for revenge, despondent, screaming, crying, etc., all kinds of expressions, and the executive officer of the board of directors, Hunt, had to pause his speech, waiting for the shareholders to digest the disastrous news. These poor businessmen never thought about how they suffered when they took away their property, and now the retribution finally fell on themselves.

When the conference room finally quieted down, Executive Officer Hunter repeated the news, and then held a group discussion on how to solve this problem, so that everyone could discuss how to solve the problem, as for whether to organize an army to retaliate, or negotiate with Spain and Portugal, this issue will be decided by the general meeting of shareholders, because the problem is too big, and there are too many people involved, and it is impossible to make a decision in a short time in the noise of everyone. The executive told everyone to calm down, and then hold an enlarged meeting of shareholders in a week, and then a decision must be made.
