The American continent is far away from the eastern and western continental plates, and the human beings on this continent are very slow to develop for some special reasons.

To put it bluntly, this is a very primitive continent.

If it weren't for the appearance of Zhao Hongyu, an unexpected visitor, then the natives on this continent would definitely be oppressed by European colonizers from afar in just two hundred years, just like the history of another time and space.

So much so that after reaching the end of the world, this continent actually changed owners.

Indigenous people became a minority, while whites became the dominant ethnic group.

However, now the course of history has changed, and the Song Empire, a country that would not have appeared in normal history, has now appeared on the American continent, and after a series of military operations in the early stage, it has completely controlled North and South America.

The colonies established by Europeans in North and South America were completely wiped out by the Song Empire's army.

That is, here in the Americas, the Europeans have lost their foothold.

On this continent, Europeans no longer have a voice.

Of course, in the face of such a thing, the Europeans cannot swallow this breath.

You must know that the Europeans of this era have reached the point of going crazy with their thirst for wealth.

For the sake of wealth, they can even give their souls to the devil.

The American continent is rich in gold and silver minerals, and the natural resources are also very rich.

It can be said that the Americas are a huge cornucopia here.

Whoever can stand in the Americas will be able to have a large fortune and become a rich man.

In the early days, many Europeans had already made a fortune in the Americas.

Through various means, they obtained animal skins, minerals, and natural resources from the Americas and shipped them back to Europe for sale.

Europe's minerals and products are on the verge of depletion due to excessive human plunder.

Therefore. Those products in the Americas have greatly alleviated a series of problems in Europe.

In particular, the abundance of gold deposits in the Americas excites Europeans.

But now, everything has become a mirror and a shadow.

Now that the Americas are controlled by the Song Empire, the rich resources of the Americas will inevitably become the bag of the Song Empire.

It is absolutely impossible to say that Europeans are not blushing at this.

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Hongyu seized the Americas in the early days, although he could get some advantages. But the European countries are for the sake of profit. will definitely do his best to fight Zhao Hongyu.

Under such circumstances, it was very difficult for the Song Empire to have a stable development environment.

But I have to say that Zhao Hongyu caught up with the time very well.

He appeared at this point in time, at the beginning of the Thirty Years' War in Europe.

At this time, because of the problem of the church, the countries of Europe were divided into two camps and began a series of military struggles.

Therefore, the energy of the Europeans was focused on the struggle between Protestantism and the church.

This gave Zhao Hongyu a chance.

And Zhao Hongyu also took advantage of this opportunity very smartly. Traveling to Europe has made the waters a little more delicate.

Under his series of insidious methods, the powerful Spanish Empire of this era collapsed and ceased to exist.

In its place was the puppet Portugal, which had been defeated and controlled by Spain.

Arguably. At this time, history once again went on a fork in the road.

The Protestants, as well as the British, who were supposed to rise in the Thirty Years' War, did not get much of a bargain at this time.

Because of Zhao Hongyu's relationship. The British were ostracized by the nations of Europe.

Today's Britain can only fight alone, because there is no one to play with him.

Meantime. The British fleet was also destroyed by the Portuguese in the early stage, so that for more than three years, they simply did not have the strength to develop the economy.

It can be said that during the more than three years of the steady development of the Song Empire, the British had a very difficult time.

At the same time, the opposing Protestants and the Church, because of the fall of the Spanish Empire, temporarily gave up their dispute and began to cooperate for the sake of profit.

Portugal and France, also for the same interests, allied at the instigation of the Song Empire and began to confront the Church coalition.

It can be said that under the planning of the Song Empire and Zhao Hongyu, the clouds of war over Europe have been shrouded.

The dawn of peace, which is not visible at all.

Even the Ottoman Empire is now involved.

With the aid and support of the Song Empire, the 'Thirty Years' War, which has been documented for a long time, began with a large amount of troops on both sides of the confrontation.

Compared with normal history, this is the early days, and too many people have died.

Of course, all this was implemented in accordance with the plan of the Song Empire and Zhao Hongyu's intentions.

It was to leave the Europeans with no time to worry about anything else and to consume a large number of their troops and population.

If there is no one, then even if the European countries unite together and turn around to deal with the Song Empire together, the Song Empire will not have to be afraid.

Moreover, Europe believes that the cause of war cannot be developed, at least until the war is over. On the contrary, the Song Empire, far away in the Americas, was different.

Because of the stable environment and the cheating device that someone has, the development of the Song Empire can be described as very rapid.

As long as Europe is in turmoil for another decade or so, then the Song Empire will definitely not have to worry about external threats.

Therefore, under such considerations, for the Song Empire, the more chaotic Europe is, of course, the better.

This is really too great for the Song Empire in the Americas.

It is precisely for this reason that the Americas, located in the imperial concessions of Portugal and France, constantly sent spies in various capacities to give some assistance and support to the warring parties, so that they could continue the war instead of stopping.

At the same time, in order to corrupt the people of Europe, the Americas also secretly sent a large number of 'poisons' and 'products' to Europe for the soldiers on both sides of the war to enjoy.

Moreover, if you don't control the outflow of this thing into the hands of the European people, it will even add fuel to the fire.

Today's European continent can be described as economic stagnation, let alone scientific and technological development.

If you are walking on the streets of cities and villages in Europe. You can see that the ground is full of addicts.

In just over three years, the disasters that the Song Empire brought to Europeans in the shadows are not shocking.

Barren land, ruined country houses, bankrupts in rags and lying on the streets. In Europe, it's all everywhere.

But those in power turn a blind eye to this.

Their energy is focused on other places.

So-called, in order to survive, countless Europeans began to think of all means. I want to come to the Americas.

Here in Europe, there is a lot of information about the Americas.

There are also Europeans who went to the Americas in the early days and brought back news about the Americas when they returned to Europe.

Whether it's the trail or the official news, the Americas are a wonderful land like paradise.

Compared to today's chaotic Europe, it is really not an exaggeration to say that it is paradise.

Besides, the Song Empire concessions in Lisbon and Marseille can also be used as a model.

The streets of the concession are clean and tidy, unlike the cities of Europe, and the environment in the concession is well planned.

Rows of trees are planted on both sides of the street. There are even flowers in the middle of the road.

Just the concession is like this, is it possible that the cities of the Song Empire in the Americas will be worse than the concession?

At the same time, the Song people who lived and worked in the concession. All of them are very rich.

Europeans have never seen them short of money.

At the same time, the Europeans who had returned from the Americas admitted that if they worked harder, they would have no problem earning six silver coins a month.

And. Earn six silver coins, that's still the salary of a lazy person.

This news is more shocking to Europeans.

The reason is very simple, because they can't even earn a single silver coin a month here in Europe, at most they are just two meals a day and half full.

It's just that. Although the Americas are good, they are not something that can be visited casually.

Not to mention how dangerous it is to sail at sea for a few months, it is also a big question whether you can get used to the language and environment after you go to the Americas.

Most importantly, the Song Empire in the Americas did not allow Europeans to believe in the Lord, nor did they allow Europeans to be involved with the church.

If you find out, you can't be killed.

For the members of the church, and those Europeans who implicated the church, the Song Empire has always been unforgiving.

Considering this situation, many European Americans who are staunch believers have dismissed the idea of going to the Americas.

Of course, there are also many people who can't survive, but they still try everything to go to the Americas.

Today, the armies of Portugal and France, aided by food and some other supplies from the Song Empire in the Americas, have held out until now in the fight against the powerful alliance of church vassal states.

This came as a surprise to many people.

In order to defeat Portugal and France, the Protestant and Ecclesiastical factions temporarily put aside their prejudices and united together.

Compared with Portugal and France, the military strength of the Church side was at least twice as strong.

However, no one could have imagined that Portugal and France would hold out on to such a powerful ecclesiastical coalition in the face. And a dozen, that's more than two years.

In addition, in Portugal and France, because of the war, the fields were also barren and the finances were tight.

But there is not a trace of turmoil in the two countries, and it is still developing very slowly.

This really shocked a lot of people's jaws.

Because no one can figure out how Portugal and France did this.

Speaking of which, this is also very simple, it is nothing more than the Song Empire providing a large amount of food aid and economic aid.

With food, Portugal and France can feed the people.

After they have eaten enough, the people will definitely not make trouble.

And with financial support, Portugal and France will inevitably develop slowly while confronting the church militarily, right?

All in all, it's all thanks to the Song Empire.

Of course, it was impossible for the Song Empire to support Portugal and France for no reason, and to aid food and money in vain.

There is no such cheap thing in this world...... (To be continued......)
