The Tang sent hundreds of warships to blockade Seville and coerce Castile, which spread rapidly over time from the Mediterranean, North Africa, and then to Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Asia, Asia Minor, and North Africa. And Castil's humiliation caused its prestige to be greatly damaged, and the prestige of the Tang people was raised again. Although there was no war, the subsequent forcing of Castille to abide by the rules of the Tang people, as well as a series of reparations for crimes, also made the countries see the strength of the Tang people.

Nothing could compare to the hundreds of warships besieging Castill's doorstep, which shocked him. The good news is that through this behavior, the Tang people have established their unshakable identity as the hegemon of Mediterranean trade and the rule-maker. The bad news is that the countries of the European continent have set off a crazy wave of armaments and a wave of exploration through this incident!

The Tang people are strong, but the countries obviously do not think that the Tang people can threaten the whole world through the power of one country! Even if its military force is very strong, it can easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, it can mobilize more than a thousand warships, and if it can, if you count the merchant ships, then the number of ships of the Tang people will drown the entire West.

But the nations are also afraid that what happened to Castile would eventually happen to them; Therefore, while building ships, rectification actions for the Navy are also being carried out simultaneously. Recruit excellent naval personnel, train naval soldiers, and design advanced ocean-going warships at the same time. It not only strengthened its own armament, but also began to prepare for new external explorations.

People's interest and curiosity in the treatment of legendary elves far surpass that of China!

After all, China is only a human country, and elves are mythical beings! In the past, nations did not know about their existence, but now they know about the existence of the elves. There is also a vivid example of this, that is, there are European ships and sailors who have reached the land of the elves. And brought a boatload of elven goods, which also ignited the whole of Europe. Therefore, under the influence of this craze, the pursuit of elves to find the existence of elves ignited the enthusiasm of the West.

On the one hand, the reason is because of the elves, but the bigger reason is that all countries want to break the trade monopoly of the Tang people. Because most of the products from the ancient Oriental world are dominated by the Tang people! And the cost of oriental goods transported by land is too high, and the value is comparable to gold or even more expensive than gold. Although the cost of shipping is low, the Tang people treat goods from the East and give priority to supplying their own country. They enjoyed spices from the Spice Islands, tea and porcelain from the East, gemstones imported from India, and clothes made of silk. Even, the Tang people also extravagantly made sails out of silk.

This vivid example is clearly displayed in the Western world, how can it not be exciting?

However, in the Mediterranean, although the local Tang people have increased dramatically, Europe, North Africa, and Asia Minor have also seen considerable growth. Although they were in the Mediterranean, in the land of four wars, they were surrounded by the nations! However, the nations still did not have enough confidence to dare to go to war with the Tang in the Mediterranean!

Because the Tang people not only have a huge naval fleet, they also have a dragon operating in the Mediterranean! Even if the coalition forces of various countries defeat the navy of the Tang people, they must have the ability to defeat this giant dragon. Therefore, in the face of the domineering behavior of the Tang people and eating alone, the countries hated it so much, but they just didn't dare to start a war lightly! Unless, they find the certainty of victory with one blow, otherwise even if they form a coalition army, they will not dare to start a decisive battle with the Tang people in the Mediterranean!

Therefore, countries began to seek to break the situation from other places, and the appearance of the elves is undoubtedly a good way to solve the dilemma. For cloth from the elves is no worse than silk, and those luxuries and the like are, even in some respects, better than what man himself produces. Whether it is luxury goods such as jewelry, or other luxury goods, they all show the developed skills and production processes of the elves themselves. Therefore, if they can reach a stable trade route with the elves, then the elven goods can flow into the West in a steady stream, and then break the trade monopoly of the Tang people.

In addition, there is another point, because gold and silver from Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor flowed into the hands of the Tang people and the Eastern world through the trade between the East and the West. And there are very few goods from Europe that can enter the world of the ancient Orient. The continuous outflow of gold, silver and precious metals has also dealt a blow to Europe's already weak economy. Although the Tang people were also a little hurt in this regard, because of their monopoly relationship, they could always get compensation from other places, and then they tried to make money back from the Eastern world. Coming and going, the Tang not only earned huge profits, but also made up for losses, while it was the entire West that was injured.

Therefore, if it weren't for the existence of the three-headed dragon, this dissatisfaction would have started a war against the Tang people long ago. Although European countries have joined in because of the Suez Canal, the 20 years of digging the canal have fattened the Tang people and made them successful. After that, although there were dividends from the canal's income every year, in the end, after many changes of hands over the years, it re-entered the pockets of the Tang people.

Because of the huge navy of the Tang Dynasty and the Castile incident, the sense of crisis in the European countries began to be strong, and the countries with the conditions began to reform their navies and build ships, and at the same time issued orders for foreign exploration for the people. Giving them knighthoods is necessary to make them noble, in addition to the abundant monetary incentives.

Tempted by wealth and power, the already poor commoners began to enlist as navigators and prepare for a foreign expedition. Because the monarch assured them that once they were able to find the realm of the elves and be able to trade with the elves. Then, the result that awaits them is a great glory!

Power and wealth, go down in history!

It's enough to make anyone crazy, and while sailing is dangerous, these dangers are no longer terrible under the triple lure of power, wealth, and fame.

They drove the newly-built ocean-going galleon, recruited sailors, and one by one officially set sail for the vast ocean. Everyone has dreams, longs for power and wealth, and strives for their own future. Even if it may be gone, no one can stop them from pursuing their dreams and the motivation to pursue money at this moment.

And the behavior of various countries also made the Tang people know that after all, this kind of activity that is not the participation of one country but the participation of various countries cannot be concealed from the secret agents of the Tang people. In fact, the countries have never thought to hide that although the Tang people are powerful, as they guessed, they can't fight the whole world at all!

A single country, in the entire West, is no match for the Tang people. And when many countries join forces, the Tang people must deal with it carefully. After all, he did not have a population of more than 400 million and did not degenerate into industrialization. In fact, this different world has long been cut off from industrialization and the emergence of modern civilization. Muskets and artillery, on the other hand, can appear, because gunpowder has already appeared. And now, further research and development on gunpowder has already begun.

Similar to the original history, the same pursuit of wealth, the same pursuit of goods from the East, the same desire to break the monopoly. And now, there is a fork in the road, and the original purpose is beginning to change, and the nations are not thinking about China but seeking the kingdom of the elves. After all, the latter undoubtedly has a stronger influence than the stronger, and it is also more able to drive human curiosity!
