At this point in time, the European side is a bit like the Warring States period before China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Each other, sometimes in a small area, sometimes extremely hostile, can beat each other's brains. So, after a long time, I can't tell who is right and who is wrong.

In the end, the difference between several alliance plates was formed!

With the Dutch and his allies, the power on the side of the Ming Dynasty was lost, and the news almost didn't take long to reach them, and their power bases around the Ming Dynasty were there.

Of course, in fact, there is also the news that Zhu Zilong instructed to deliberately release it, such a main reason.

At this time, the British, whether in India or elsewhere, were very hard-pressed and were suppressed by the Dutch very badly.

Anglo-Dutch capitalism developed in the early modern period, not in the Middle Ages. Because England was an island nation, it did not need a standing army, the monarchy was weak, and the bourgeoisie had been regularly attending parliament since Edward I.

After the rise of the French monarchy, the Estates-General were not very open, and Spain became the most hostile bourgeois country in Western Europe, as evidenced by the rebellion of the Netherlands.

And, after the Glorious War, the kings of England were all Dutch.

However, as a traverser, Zhu Zilong naturally knew that sooner or later the British would kill the Dutch and become an empire on which the sun never sets.

What he has to do now is to take advantage of the danger of others to bestow grace, and then see the opportunity to suppress and sabotage. The sun never sets on the empire, the coachmen of the sea, all go to death.

Someone asked, Spain, France, these land powers, are not good at naval warfare, PK does not win against Britain, this is not surprising.

But the Netherlands has always been a maritime country, known as the sea coachman, the people have always eaten the wind and drink the waves on the sea, there has never been a shortage of well-trained sailors, has a deep naval tradition accumulation, the Dutch navy is strong-willed, brave and good at fighting, the number of fleets is also very large, and there have been a surprise attack on the Thames, bombardment of London.

The Netherlands is also a maritime power, why can't it do Britain, which is still a little brother?

Why did they lose the battle for hegemony with Britain?

The answer that Zhu Zilong thought of was that the great powers were surrounded and busy building land from the sea. Britain has been stained with the light of the island country, otherwise France and Germany would have cleaned him up a long time ago, and he would have dominated a bird, and Japan is similar.

Besides, in general.

The third Anglo-Dutch war, the Anglo-French alliance invaded from the sea and land respectively, and the territory was small and directly tragic.

Of course, the Dutch still had a hard time, shelling London and burning the Thames estuary, and no second one has done it so far (the bearded commander only bombed London, but failed to make the Royal Navy shrink).

It's a pity that the first Anglo-Dutch war didn't hold up in the face of a war of attrition, and the lack of industrial strength was really unbearable when fighting for attrition.

The Second Anglo-Dutch War was simply exploited by the British, and the French army was brutally washed and abused, after which it completely declined.

On the one hand, they had to deal with Britain, and on the other hand, they had to fight against France, and their allies became centrists. (The Netherlands had a population of just over 2 million at the time, while the British had more than 4 million, and France had to deal with a population of more than 10 million.) ）

In other words, it didn't matter if the British lost once or twice, the workshops in Manchester and Birmingham were able to deliver a steady stream of sail cables, ropes, barrels and cannons to the shipyards.

However, the Dutch trading ships could not withstand this attrition, and the Dutch could not completely crush the British sea power even if they bombarded London. In the end, what else can the sea coachman who has lost his trade fleet do?

The bottom line is that commercial capitalism must lose to industrial capitalism!

Therefore, at this time, Zhu Zilong bullied the Netherlands, taking this into account. Anyway, this is a country that will fall sooner or later!

At this point in time, Britain had not really become stronger, and even the Dutch were still in the late stages of suppression.

At this time, he came to hug Zhu Zilong's thigh, and Zhu Zilong also said that they could get the opportunity to develop in India without paying too much price, and the English people were naturally happy. (After the deed, black eats black, hey!) ）

The advantage of Spain is naturally that the Philippines can increase the colonies, and the Ming said that he was not interested. (Actually, let them take the lead!) ）

The Portuguese, even more so because one of Zhu Zilong's harem women was a noble girl among them, who seemed to be allies on the surface early on. It's even more to come and cooperate!

To put it bluntly, the current Netherlands is the target of public criticism, and many people want to rectify it, and it just so happens that Zhu Zilong took the lead.

And after becoming an ally, Zhu Zilong said very warmly, I will give you a few countries special business licenses.

(tm, it's still something made up on the fly.) Of course, now that he has an idea, Zhu Zilong can engage in long-term development, just like the international business license of later generations, and it is also related to the customs. ）

The British and people from several other countries don't know much either, so they just ask, is it possible to do business with Daming at the right time and price after paying this tax?

After getting Zhu Zilong's affirmative reply, everyone immediately became happy. (Foreigners take the initiative to pay taxes, and the awareness is still good here.) ）

However, Zhu Zilong said that this license is also graded. And it will be approved once a year!

That's digging a hole!

But you don't have an opinion. Zhu Zilong also politely took you to visit his own warship port.

The envoys of several allied countries broke out in a cold sweat when they saw the warships moored in this port. They are all thinking to themselves, what would happen to a fleet of this size if it was against themselves?

Fortunately, Daming and Europe are too far away, as long as there is no essential common competition goal, they can't fight, and the Dutch are causing trouble everywhere, thinking that they are the boss.

Yes, whatever people say is what it is, according to the calculation, it didn't suffer too much loss.

Sending these people away, Zhu Zilongmi's eyes looked at it, and he could be regarded as Batavia, which really belonged to himself and Daming.

This place is actually not bad, but in the eyes of the traditional Ming people. It's a backwood!

However, in Zhu Zilong's view, although Nanyang is remote, the land is fertile and rich in minerals such as gold, silver, copper, tin, and sulfur. The future of the Ming Dynasty is not on the mainland, but on the sea of stars.

With the high-yield crops, which will bloom everywhere in Daming in the future, the population of Daming will grow rapidly. Moreover, there is no family planning, and Zhu Zilong is not ready to engage in family planning.

In this way, it won't take a few years, at most a dozen years, how can that little land in China feed so many people?

(It is estimated that there will be more than 1.3 billion Chinese by then, and it is possible to get 2 billion!) ）

Later, only the Han Chinese emigrated to overseas territory, occupied it, and killed or enslaved all the locals, just as the whites made the blacks slaves.

can digest such a large Han population, as well as the real Zhongxing Chinese nation!

What sun never sets on the British Empire? In the future, it should be the Ming Empire where the sun never sets!
