May 11, 1655 A.D., was a true disaster for the vast Western Europe.

On the sea, the huge fleet of the multinational coalition of self-proclaimed seafaring nations was completely defeated, and on land, the powerful army that considered itself the center of world civilization was also devastated, but the most fatal thing was that the fleet fled, more than 700 stranded troop carriers, more than 90,000 allied troops of various countries, and a large number of European nobles such as Prince Philip of Spain and Duke André of Prussia were trapped and killed on this side of the English Channel.

There is no escape.

The patriotic enthusiasm of the British is still there, even if it is like night, thousands of braziers are burning, tens of thousands of peasants who have been requisitioned nearby are in full swing carrying logs, building stockades on the spot, three wooden villages in a zigzag shape to surround the tidal flats where the Southern Combined Fleet ran aground and landed, on the sea, the three remaining ironclad ships still have burst boilers, and the loss ironclad ships that have become fire ovens have all been towed away, and the huge fleet has also sailed to nearby Birmingham for rest and maintenance. However, there are still more than 20 capital ship formations patrolling the North Sea to prevent the turtles in these urns from escaping again.

By the Thames River, the iron horsemen of the expeditionary force who had also been racing for an afternoon led their horses and drank the cool river water, and now the British Industrial Revolution has not yet begun, and this is not the notorious fog capital of later generations, but it is not afraid of drinking bad stomachs.

For the first time in his life, he went to the battlefield in person, and he was so excited that while letting the horse drink water, Mao Yuer was still waving his little hands, and on the other hand, Song Yongzhong was quietly drinking the horse, but from time to time he looked back at His Royal Highness the princess like the little sparrow, and the corners of his mouth still hung a warm smile.

Far away, Li Dingguo and Li Shuai are sad and sad, today's battle is gone, his shock cavalry did not come in handy in the end, he is frustrated on the battlefield and amnesia, envy and hatred are far away from the sour atmosphere of love.

On the newly erected log wall, looking at the Western coalition camp with the same bonfires, Mao Xingjian held the telescope high, he exhaled as if relieved, and then his face also showed a full sense of achievement.

Today's killing, the glorious battle victory is actually not proud of him, and even if possible, he also hopes that the Ming army can kill less, what really makes him look forward to is the conquest brought after this battle, the Ming Dynasty can also open the Confucian Academy in the western land, in his mind, there seems to be a scene of these big-nosed guys shaking their heads and reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and their portraits are also the same as the holy ancestors, hanging on the hall of the Confucian Museum, Mao Xingjian's face can't help but show a rich smile.

The war has been sown, Mao Jue's wish has been fulfilled, and the Ming Dynasty has finally descended on this extremely far western continent as a king's landing.

.........

Sure enough, Mao Xingjian did not wait for a long time, only the next day, the eldest son of the Duke of Milan took more than 1,000 Italian soldiers, took the lead in getting out of the bay line, and surrendered to the Daming Expeditionary Force with his hands raised, although their surrender conditions gave Mao Xingjian a headache, the supplies of the Milan mercenaries were damaged in the process of rushing the beach, and the duke's son resolutely demanded that he must provide pasta and pizza for the nobles under his command, otherwise they would all die of hunger strike.

Where do you get pasta and pizza? Fortunately, there are Gansu people in the army, and they made a meal of Lanzhou noodles and Lao Shaanxi's mutton pie for the picky aristocratic son, and the result was surprisingly good.

Then the second to surrender was the French, the first power on the western road at this time, under the city of London and on the beach, 30,000 French troops completely lost the arrogance of the Gallic rooster, one by one raised their hands and hung their heads out of the defensive position, and lived in the prisoner of war camp built by the Italians overnight.

Then came Austria, Hungary, Luxembourg, and a whole host of unnamed small principalities of the Holy Roman Empire surrendered one after another, but surprisingly, even though the Spaniards and the Dutch surrendered, the Swedes held out until the last moment, even though the Spaniards and the Dutch surrendered, and the Prussians, who had little to do with the war.

In any case, after a small revolt, such as a knight's one-on-one confrontation, by mid-June, more than 90,000 Western troops who lacked supplies finally surrendered, ending the two-year-long preparation of the mighty Battle of Britain, and immediately afterwards, the French court minister Mazarin was the first to send a peace mission to London.

The war is the continuation of politics, the war is over, but the political game has just begun, received an invitation, at the beginning of July, looking at Mao Xingjian has become more and more calm, and gradually withdrew from the command of Adriana served as the Ming envoy, and the British mission attended the French peace conference held in Paris, this time, Adriana is really proud, and returned home, more than 20 years ago, she was a little girl sold to the East as a white slave by the Dutch, thirty years later, she was a dignified imperial princess, the ambassador of the victorious country, So that a group of big nobles had to be carefully served.

The pope of Rome had not yet been invited to this peace, because of some conditions of the peace, the magnates of the countries had already expected that the pope would not accept it in any case.

The war only lasted a month and a half, but it took three months to talk nonsense with these guys, but with the huge fleet roaming the waters off Paris and three nightmare ironclad ships, Da Ming finally got everything he wanted at the negotiating table.

The first is to divide the world, the power of the New World, bounded by the Isthmus of Panama, north of Panama, including the Caribbean Islands, all belong to the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, the rainforests of South America, and later generations are synonymous with chaos and gangsters.

Then the Netherlands became a historical term, as the main culprit of the invasion of the British Isles, as a punishment, the Netherlands was annexed by France, the overseas colonies of the Netherlands, Asia was taken over by the Ming Dynasty, and the New World and Africa were carved up by the great powers.

As for Central Asia, the Mughal Empire was classified as the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, but countries were allowed to trade freely, and even the Ming Dynasty generously opened its port cities such as Batavia, Manila, Tainan, Hangzhou, Nanjing, etc., allowing Western merchants to go to trade, but correspondingly, Paris, Marseille, Madrid, Gibraltar and other Western port cities must also be reciprocal to open to the Ming Dynasty, and the same Ming merchants were allowed to do business freely, build Confucian schools, settle down, and as a victorious country, Daming also obtained a privilege that later generations humiliated Huaxia, consular jurisdiction! Ming citizens in the French, German land violations, must have the Ming embassy to lead back to the country for trial, countries have no right to judge, but you other countries if you dare to cheat on the land of the Ming Dynasty, refer to the Ming law to the death.

As for the tariffs between the two sides, it is up to the two governments to negotiate and decide.

When the British created the empire on which the sun never sets, they once created a spirit that even Mao Jue's era had a profound impact on the world, the spirit of free trade, and now Mao Jue has truncated the glory of the British, and under the threat of the Ming gunboats, the spirit of free trade was first promoted by the Ming Dynasty.

The last one is that Mao Jue promised Adriana a beautiful and romantic promise back then, under the strong diplomatic attitude of the Ming Dynasty, many princes under the command of the Holy Roman Empire also had to compromise, restore the reputation and title of Adlena's father Marshal Wallenstein, return Mecklenburg to her, and her descendants with Mao Jue will be hereditary in the Duchy of Silesia for generations.

After many years of waiting, Adriana finally fulfilled her long-cherished wish for many years and completed her revenge.

First of all, the Ming Dynasty put an end to the situation of continuous expansion of the West for more than two centuries, and transformed the monopoly of one pole into a relatively stable East and West pole, and the trend of globalization was highlighted hundreds of years earlier.

Moreover, there was a countercurrent in the strong export of Christian culture, so that the Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty was annexed to the center of Western civilization.

The influence of Confucianism was even unexpected by Mao Jue! Why did Jin Yong's martial arts once become popular in the West? Because in the biographies of heroes in the West, heroes are all born from a noble background, just like King Arthur and the Twelve Knights of the Round Table are all nobles, only a prince can kill the dragon and marry the princess home, the British thief Zorro is also a nobleman, and even the ridiculed knight Don Quixote is also from an aristocratic background, but Jin Yong's hero, Yang Guo's father is a big villain, Guo Jing is from the grassroots, Zhang Wuji, and Ling Hu Chong are all orphans, and they are all ordinary people, which can make ordinary readers in the West substitute for themselves.

This reflects the huge difference between Eastern philosophy under Confucianism and Western political thought under Christianity, Confucianism advocates that there is no class of education, the dynasty is Tian Shelang, Xiden Tianzitang and other views in the West by the aristocracy for generations to control the feudal society gradually caused an uproar, more and more low-born commoners also demanded their own political rights, decades later, even France also set off the French Revolution under the enlightenment of Confucianism brought by the business Chinese, which Mao Jue did not expect.

But that's for another time!

At the beginning of December, she finally got the signed documents at the Paris Peace Conference, and after returning to London to hand them over to Mao Xingjian, Adriana left her official business, packed her bags and bags, and hurried to the Duchy of Silesia with her luggage.

The signing of the contract does not mean that the war is completely over, and those who maintain the contract still rely on their own strong strength, just like the US troops stationed here and the US troops stationed there in later generations, half of the Ming Expeditionary Force was left in London, and a naval base was built in Birmingham, not far from London, to supervise the situation on the European continent at any time.

Surprisingly, Li Dingguo abandoned his Dingnanhou and San Francisco territory, and actually took the initiative to ask to stay here, even if he was a deputy, and the commander of the expeditionary force was Sun Kecheng, an outstanding graduate of the third phase of the Liaodong Military Academy and had already served as the chief of staff of the Dandong garrison.

For Mao Xingjian, his trip to the New World, the term of office of the Governor of Rocky is over, and just a month ago, he also received a formal order from Mao Jue to recruit him to return to Beijing and resume his position as an assistant to the emperor in the cabinet.

Riding on a huge treasure ship, one hand supporting Han Xiaomo's little hand, looking at the beautiful scene of the sunset on the bow of the boat, Mao Xingjian couldn't help but think a lot in his heart, just out of the Ming Dynasty and back to the Ming Dynasty, his mentality has almost completely changed like two people, the young man who was once young and frivolous, and did not know the height of the sky is gone, replaced by the weather-beaten, but calm and strategic Prince Daming.

"Father, you have won in the end!"

couldn't help it, Mao Xingjian shook his head slightly, and muttered to himself in a low voice.

But at this time, the startled screams behind him suddenly frightened the prince and staggered.

"Brother!"

"It's not big or small, where does it look like a princess, you can't be calm!"

After some adventures, the relationship between Mao Yuer and his half-brother is much closer, and he didn't care that Mao Xingjian was angry and put up a shelf with his hands behind his back, Mao Yuer was chattering excitedly: "Listen to Song Yongzhong's big wooden block, you once promised him that you would marry your sister to him!" ”

"Eh, ......, Lone just said that he wanted to introduce the royal sister to him, but he didn't say that he would marry ......"

"The eldest brother is like a father, the eldest brother of the prince has complied with the marriage, and Song Mutou and I will get off the boat in New York State for a while, and I will not meet with the eldest brother of the prince, you can help me go back and have a conversation with my father and the princess!"

After shouting, as soon as the smoke slipped away, Yu'er dragged the other end of the same sad and helpless Song Yongzhong excitedly ran to the dinghy with Huan'er, where is she happy to get married, she is obviously looking for an excuse to go out to play, looking at her back, and thinking that a few months ago, Mao Jue issued a death order to bring this crazy girl back to Jingshi, and there was no calm and steady thought, and the prince was also extremely sad and slammed his thigh, and in Han Xiaomo's full smile, he endured the urge to vomit blood and shouted loudly.

"Come on, the four treasures of the study are waiting, Lone wants to give His Majesty a fold, there are still some things in the Governor's Mansion that have not been dealt with, and Lone can not return to Beijing!"

"No???"
