In fact, from the moment the Tang people's huge fleet of hundreds of ships left the port, whether it was the Tang people themselves or the merchants from foreign countries, they had already understood one thing at this moment, that is, the Tang people, a great power that had been peaceful for hundreds of years, was about to show its fangs and force to the world.

This is not only the side that the Tang people have in mind, but also the side that the European countries expect in their hearts. They are also eager to know what the strength of the Mediterranean dragons is now. And the passage of Castille is not only a tentative scene of Castill, but also a scene that countries are looking forward to. Through a small event, the bottom line of the Tang people is tested step by step; If a big country, a strong country, can tolerate the infringement of its interests by a weaker country that is far inferior to itself, then will it still be a strong country?

No, certainly not a powerhouse. That will only cause more trouble, will make more countries with bad intentions rush to pounce, and then seize the interests of the powerful country step by step, and will also make them have undeserved thoughts, guessing what is wrong with this powerful country, and will tolerate their small actions? Then, it will finally provoke a feast of carving!

Although the Tang people have several warships with a scale of nearly 1,000 in the Mediterranean, and more than tens of thousands of merchant ships, they almost monopolize the world's trade activities! Whether it is the ancient country of the East, the Indian Peninsula, or the Spice Islands, they are all monopolized by the domineering Tang people. Since the Fatimid Dynasty in Egypt was seized by the Tang people, including Suez, it was full of internal contradictions, and was then replaced by the Tulum Dynasty; And it didn't take long for the Tang people to send troops and conquer the whole of Egypt, turning Egypt into a province of their own.

In that war, the sea and land marched together, with a total army of about 100,000, which attracted the attention of the world! The whole process of the Tang people's war of taking the entire territory of Egypt was extremely easy, and it took less than three months to completely defeat the Egyptian resistance. Then, the whole territory of Egypt was turned into a province, completely monopolizing the Suez Canal trade, and then completely monopolizing the trade between the East and the West.

It was also because of that war that the hegemony of the Tang people and the Mediterranean trade rules formulated by the Tang people were recognized by all countries, and the status of a great power was extremely beautiful, and no one dared to contend with it.

And with the gradual passage of time, the countries began to sprout out of the sea to explore a new route directly to China due to their dissatisfaction with the huge benefits obtained by the Tang people's monopoly on trade between the East and the West, and then share a part of the profits from the huge trade share of the Tang people. Unexpectedly, the countries sailed out one after another, but few ships were able to return, and the only ship from Castile to return brought shocking news to the European continent.

Agalit, a navigator from Italy, was hired by Castile to explore new routes, and although he did not discover a route to China, he accidentally found the legendary elf. And with the ship brought a huge number of elven goods, not only luxury goods, artworks, but also elven books, texts and paintings, like the world to show the mysterious world of elves.

This made some countries that had always thought that there was only one race of humans in the entire huge world know that in the vast sea, there is an ancient and highly developed intelligent race - elves!

And Castill's selection of goods from the elves, most of which he chooses to sell in his own country, has long been known to the world. It is nothing more than wanting to break the trade monopoly of the Tang people by discovering the news of the elves. And all countries are also looking forward to the reaction of the Tang people, and they are also calculating their own small abacus in their hearts.

The Dons, apparently, did not disappoint them.

Because a huge detachment of hundreds of warships was heading for the port of Seville in Castile, their numbers, elite men, and weapons, and the spectacular effect of a huge fleet of hundreds sailing in the Mediterranean Sea had long been known to the eyes of the nations. The spies then rushed back to their country in a fast boat to inform the monarchs and nobles of the news.

And although the countries have long known that the naval ships of the Tang people are extremely large, they are still shocked by the size of such a huge fleet; Because no matter how many times they heard it, they never saw it with their own eyes. And their messengers, through their own eyes, painted this magnificent and magnificent scene to the monarchs!

The huge fleet sailed for several days, and when it was seen from afar, the sight of masts and lavish sails made of white silk marching with the strength of the wind shook the whole of Europe! Then, the approaching fleet finally alarmed the tax collectors and merchants in the port of Seville. Because this huge naval fleet is obviously not a good one! After that, a fast horse came out of Seville and headed for Toledo.

The many merchant ships anchored in the port of Seville began to sail out of the port under the command of the panicked captain, and stayed far away in the open sea to observe. And those merchant ships that have not yet entered the port have long been far away from the first time they discover the huge fleet. And the Castile navy, moored in the port of Seville, did not dare to leave the port at all! Subsequently, the huge Tang navy gradually approached the port of Seville, and then the fleet of hundreds of ships began to change formation, some ships were on alert horizontally, and some ships blocked the Strait of Gibraltar to block the passage into the Mediterranean. And the largest fleet blocked the ports of Seville and prepared for an attack in the open sea!

The arrival of a powerful navy made the once prosperous port of Seville extremely depressed in an instant! The hustle and bustle of the port has long been silent at this moment. No one dared to return to the street again, and the Castile navy anchored in the harbor was still anchored and sailed, and the navy soldiers were hiding in the barracks on the shore with the army soldiers.

After that, a small boat was lowered from the flagship of the Don, and several soldiers escorted a messenger to land. The messenger, dressed in splendid costumes and with a look of arrogance, strode towards the camp of Castile. He then met with the highest aristocratic officials in the port of Seville and announced a stern rebuke and order from the Tang monarch! and asked to meet Alfonso X of Castile in person, threatening to read the order from the Tang Emperor in the royal castle of Toledo!

That's right, it's the command, for these whites; While the Tang people are growing stronger, this spirit is also linked to their national strength and force. In the treatment of Castile, the envoys relied on the great strength of their own country to blatantly despise their country. Not only in front of the noble officials, but also in front of Alfonso X, read the orders from their monarchs!

The end result was not what everyone expected.

Because of the news of the elves, a challenge to the hegemony of the Tang people's trade has officially ended! The Tang people also used their strength and actions to declare their unshakable status to the whole Mediterranean. And their ability to mobilize a fleet of hundreds of ships in just a few hours shocked the whole of Europe and North Africa! And the countries of Europe can't do it like the Tang people, and the speed of mobilizing and assembling troops is so fast.

Although there was no war this time, it also gave countries a glimpse of the strength of the Tang people. The goods that Castille had obtained from the elves were also brought by their merchant ships to the ports of the Tang people to trade. And the monarchs of the Tang people, who were also nobles, also began to observe these goods from the elves, and the results amazed them. Whether it is those luxury goods or all kinds of handicrafts and weapons, they are all admired by the Tang people and extremely vigilant at the same time! Luxury goods are okay, they are not worthy of their vigilance, they are wary of the elves' weapons that show the tip of the iceberg! The smelting and forging of these weapons are far from comparable to them, although it is impossible to cut off the weapons they make at once, but the construction technology and the level of smelting are also admired by the Tang people.

As a result, the elves who are still mysterious so far are curious and wary at the same time! At the same time, the Tang people also had the idea of exploring the outside world. Although there is, it is very weak. Because the Tang people are confident, even if the European countries find the elves, it is impossible to shake their position and challenge the trade rules they have formulated in a short time!
