Zhao Hongyu has been in this time and space for three years, and time is slowly and firmly advancing, and the year 1623 is about to come.

Because a small butterfly came to this plane, the original historical course has changed.

In the chaos of Europe, because of the learning of the advanced methods of warfare in the Americas, it had begun to train musketeers in large numbers and use the line tactics of five-stage shooting in battle.

In the original history, as well as in the history of another time and space, such a way of fighting would not have been possible. But because of the joy of a little butterfly, this method of warfare appeared in advance in this plane.

Of course, because of the backwardness of various crafts in Europe at this time, the muskets created by various countries are not comparable to the muskets of the Song Empire.

The sophistication of the muskets of the Song Empire can be said to be the best in the world.

The Europeans still used arquebuses, and at the same time began to develop flintlock pistols.

But the flintlock pistols of the Song Empire were already equipped with all the troops.

At the same time, the strict ration of paper gunpowder also added advantages to the operation.

Because the secrecy of paper-based rationed gunpowder was well preserved, the Europeans had not yet discovered the benefits of this aspect.

Therefore, the Europeans still have a long way to go if they want to have such infantry means.

The chaos and war in Europe led to a large number of bankrupts and displaced people, and homeless and displaced people began to use various means to take the merchant ships to find a new life in the Americas.

However, only a small number of people have been able to make it to the Americas.

For the most part, they can only stay in Europe, a continent that is already full of war and death, and continue to live their dark days with no future in sight.

The war in Europe also affected the Arab world and even the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Taking advantage of the endless fighting among European countries, the Ottoman Turkish Empire began to fight for the Mediterranean Sea with all its might, hoping to take advantage of the melee between European countries. Establish hegemony in the Mediterranean while keeping it in your own hands.

If the Ottoman Turkish Empire wants to go out of the Mediterranean and start its own maritime trade prosperity at the same time, then it must have a say in the Mediterranean.

As the upper echelons of the Ottoman Empire, it was impossible not to see this.

However, the Mediterranean was always under the control of the Europeans, and the countries would not give the Ottoman Empire a chance at all.

But now it's different.

The nations of Europe were embroiled in disputes between Protestantism and the Church, and at the same time a series of great wars began.

Hence the energy of the Europeans now. It simply can't be put at sea.

So, now is a good opportunity for the Ottoman Empire, and it depends on whether they can grasp it.

Portugal and France are allies in the Americas, and they have always received support from the Americas, so they can fight against the Church coalition without any worries.

The various food supplies of the Song Empire in the Americas, as well as the strength of the support on the silver coins, shocked all the countries.

In fact, where did they know that these materials and silver coins were all earned by the Song Empire in the Americas from the Europeans through trade, strictly speaking, the Europeans' own money.

Other words. The Song Empire itself didn't pay a penny at all.

And these aids given to them were only a drop in the bucket for the Song Empire in the Americas.

All the gold earned from Europe was actually sold through virtual trading periods.

The profits are unimaginable.

The rest of the silver was worthless. Therefore, it is better to give new support to Portugal and France, after all, Portugal and France have to pay interest on borrowed money, which is better than piling up in the treasury of the Americas.

As for whether Portugal and France will repay their debts, this has never been a matter for the top echelons of the empire to worry about and consider.

Can't afford to pay back the money. Just use the land to pay it back.

If you want to repay the debt, doesn't it mean that you have given the Song Empire the opportunity to invade.

Could it be that the army here in the Song Empire is all decorations?

On today's European continent, there are more and more goods from the Song Empire in the Americas. And the price is getting cheaper and cheaper.

In particular, daily necessities are pervasive on the European continent and in the Arab world.

Of course, there were high-end expensive goods, but now it is clear that they are no longer the main products promoted by the Song Empire.

Expensive goods, after all, the market is small.

The goods that can bring the greatest profits to the Song Empire and can continue to maintain profits are actually only those that are consumed every day and used by people every day.

For example, seasonings, various soy sauces and vinegars, as well as those daily necessities such as shampoo and shower gel, were now the main source of profits for the Song Empire.

Because people need to use it every day, this kind of business can be done for a long time.

What's more, now only the Song Empire monopolizes these goods.

One can imagine how huge the windfall profits of monopoly are.

Besides, there was no monopoly law these days.

Therefore, the umbrella company of the Song Empire can completely monopolize commerce for two hundred years with peace of mind, and earn global wealth in these two hundred years.

In fact, in the early days, the trade of daily products to Europe was not profitable.

The reason is simple, because Europeans are dirty, they don't pay attention to personal hygiene at all.

However, such a small difficulty was not a problem at all for the people of the Song Empire in the Americas.

Because they have modern knowledge and ideas, they also know that since Europeans do not have such convenient needs, it is better to train them to have such needs.

The market of good people is actually cultivated, isn't it?

This idea was very common in the later or modern world, but it was absolutely advanced in the seventeenth century.

In the early days, some products of the Song Empire were given to Europeans for free use.

This process is still ongoing.

When the Europeans learned about the benefits of these products, and became accustomed to the goods, and the convenience they brought them, the Song Empire began to ask for money.

Fortunately, the price of these daily necessities is not high, and Europeans can afford it.

So, the Song Empire finally cultivated the market and began to make huge profits.

And these goods sold to Europe and even the Arab world are all counterfeit goods.

Anyway, the Europeans of this era. I won't see any flaws.

Where do they know what a copycat product is?

Hydrafield shampoo and Sakura shower gel are extremely representative.

Dale chicken essence, Zhongliang Group's edible salt, golden cage fish edible oil, Kang Shuaifu instant noodles, Sanlu milk powder...... The market in Europe has been opened.

In modern times, these things are definitely cheating.

But in this era, they all turned into high-end goods, the fist products of the Song Empire in the Americas.

And everyone doesn't know that these goods can be popular for hundreds of years in this era. And enduring.

Even when the countries of this time and space have entered the modern era, these goods are still in vogue, and the consumer market is large. Of course, these products are mostly consumed by Europeans...... Because they are nostalgic.

At the same time, there are also some scholars and brick families who have discovered the secrecy and shoddy nature of these goods, but when they publish them, no one wants to believe them.

You know, these products have been popular for hundreds of years.

Therefore, when the shoddy is discovered, of course, it is necessary to find a few cost scapegoats.

Fortunately, there are many European businessmen who have made counterfeits. So scapegoats are easy to find.

What will happen in the future like this is something that people today cannot even imagine.

After all, that was hundreds of years later.

Europe's economy began to slump because of the war. But the warring parties are still gritting their teeth and holding on.

Because of the assistance of the Song Empire in the Americas, Portugal and France lived quite well.

On the other hand, the coalition of the vassal states of the Church did not have a good time.

However, at this critical juncture. The Iron Rooster Church also opened its treasury and took out the accumulated wealth and handed it over to the allied forces of the Church vassal states, so that they could support the war.

It is precisely with this self. Only then did the vassal states of the Church support it to the present day.

Otherwise, they would have collapsed because of the economy.

In fact, the top of the church also understood that the war had reached this point, and there was no way out for either side.

Only after the fall of the party can everyone have a way to live.

In this case, it's up to who can support it for a longer period of time.

And during this time, the church and the Protestant side came into contact again and again, and began a series of secret negotiations.

No one knows what the two sides are talking about, but the final outcome is historically biased.

In normal history, Protestantism and the Church have been in constant confrontation, and the two sides fought for 30 years in what is known as the Thirty Years' War. At the same time, through this war, the Netherlands became independent and became the Netherlands, and began the glory of the Dutch sea coachmen.

But now, because of the demonic rise of the Song Empire in the Americas, the British and French, as well as the Dutch and Spanish strongholds in the Americas, have been wiped out by the Song Empire.

However, the Europeans in the Americas were no longer qualified to compete.

The French did not have a bad relationship with the Americas, and became allies.

Spain has been wiped out by Portugal and France, and has disappeared into the long history of this time and space.

The British and Dutch were very unsympathetic to the Song Empire in the Americas, and even hated it to the core.

Therefore, the Dutch, who were the main force on the side of the Protestant coalition, were very interested in the proposal of the church.

That is, the two sides put aside their disputes, jointly settled the Portuguese and French countries, and then aimed directly at the Song Empire in the Americas. As long as the Song Empire can be defeated, then the wealth of the Song Empire will be divided equally among everyone.

The Protestant coalition was still very interested in the church's proposal.

It's just that the two sides have not officially united because of some details and have not yet been negotiated.

If the two sides reach an agreement, the pressure on Portugal and France will increase.

At the same time, this history will once again take a fork in the road.

After all, the little butterfly is constantly fanning its wings, how can history not be changed...... (To be continued......)
