Chapter 979: Who Is The Sun Never Sets

The Spanish fleet in the Strait of Magellan was not very strong, at least not as strong as the Caribbean fleet, which fought all year round. Compared with the nearly 100 ships of the Daming Naval Division, the strength of more than 30 large and small warships cannot be compared. And its firepower and the new artillery of the Daming Water Division also appear to be very weak. Their colonial batteries were not even as powerful as the gunboat guns of the Daming Naval Division, and they had a long range.

And because the Strait of Magellan is too narrow, after being blocked by the main gunboat force of the Daming Water Division, it can only fight hard. As a result, in less than a day, it was defeated by the Daming Naval Division, which had fierce fire and a very long range. Relying on their familiarity with the waterways of the strait, they wanted to escape and return home. But when they reached the eastern end of the Strait of Magellan, they found that an even more terrifying fleet had been waiting here for a long time! On a ship as huge as a town, the cannon was like the wrath of God, and the land thunder blasted its fleet into powder!

The Spaniards were desperate, they lowered the banner of their king, raised the white flag of surrender, but still did not receive forgiveness from the other side. The cannon is still roaring, the Great Ming Sailors can't understand the European flag, and the general they get is to kill them all! Although Zhang Fan was a little unbearable, he also knew that this kind of hegemonic struggle could not tell who was right and who was wrong, and its contradictions were irreconcilable!

For the Western powers, you can only bring them to their knees if you are more ruthless and vicious than them! When they colonized, they never had sympathy for the local natives, because the local natives, for them, were just like the local beasts, just an obstacle to colonization. Mercy is wooden, there is only slavery and plunder!

The Ming Dynasty used half of the power of the country to build the Daming Naval Division's expeditionary fleet, which destroyed the Spanish fleet defending the strait with a devastating attitude. The Marines, also under the cover of gunboat fire, soon broke into the colony, and after a massacre, after looting the colony's supplies, the Daming Navy Division set fire to the town. After the construction of the Panama Canal, this colony was of little value, and Akon was unwilling to waste precious Chinese immigrants to occupy it.

Passing through this narrow channel, the fleet met and began to move north along the coast of South America. Along the way, several Spanish colonies were looted and a Spanish transport fleet was plundered. Although there was no living mouth left. But the message of this mighty fleet appeared, like the whisper of the sea god, spread across the Atlantic Ocean with the currents and winds......

The fleet of the Great Ming Naval Division bypassed the Great Turning Point in South America, passed through the mouth of the Amazon River, and arrived at the island of Barbados. Here Zhang Fan Akon and the Book Demon parted ways, and the Book Demon took a fleet of gunboats to Panama and the Caribbean to prevent the Spaniards from retaliating attacks. Zhang Fan Aken led the main fleet to continue north, where there was a colony that Akon thought must be occupied!

Massachusetts, the first North American colony established by England in 1607, was the foundation of the United States in 1620 with the first Mayflower Convention. Akon decided to preemptively let China settle down here before the British colonized.

Coincidentally, when the fleet of the Daming Navy Division arrived here, Zhang Fan's 'Caribbean Alliance' fleet, the three-masted schooner named 'Mayflower' by the book demon, also arrived with a group of English Puritans. Zhang Fan Akon even received a hint that they had completed the hidden mission of the Mayflower Convention ahead of schedule.

History is always full of coincidences! When the fleet of the Ming Navy Division laid down a group of 5,000 Chinese immigrants in Zuihou, China occupied some of the most important historical colonies in North America. The pioneers of the American state, who arrived ahead of schedule, could only be overwhelmed by Chinese immigrants. Since then, at least in this historical scene, there will be no future superpower! Even if there were, it was the United States, which appeared as a Chinese colonial point. Perhaps its name should be 'Beautiful China'.

After resting here, the Daming sailors set out from here and headed for England on the other side of the Atlantic to complete one of the most important missions of the voyage. At this time, Britain was not yet strong, at least it was suppressed by the tyrannical Spain. When she saw the arrival of a fleet of this size, Elizabeth I thought it was Philip II of Spain. He sent his armada to capture all of England. I'm scared of the fart!

When she learns that it was her own baron Shi Fan who had returned to his homeland and had come to her aid in the fight against the Spaniards and the Holy Roman Empire with a powerful fleet, she was so overjoyed that she almost didn't promise herself. She is a famous 'virgin queen' in British history, she has never married, and she is only about thirty years old at this time, which is the age of a wolf and a tiger.

However, Zhang Fan was not interested in the Queen of England, he was interested in signing a peace treaty with Elizabeth I on behalf of the Ming Dynasty very smoothly. In this treaty, Britain recognized the legal status of the Ming in the entire New World, and the New World was an integral part of the Ming territory! Any colonization of the New World is a contempt for the Ming Empire! England, on the other hand, had rights over the Caribbean and the most favourable treatment for trade with the Ming Empire.

The two countries will work together to drive out other countries in the New World as well as third parties in the Caribbean! And for colonies elsewhere in Shijie, there is a first-come, first-served priority.

The reason why Elizabeth I dared to sign this treaty, which sold the rest of Europe out, was that she witnessed the three 10,000-ton treasure ships that amazed her powerlessness! In her opinion, such an invincible giant ship, even if it were to destroy the coastal cities of any country, it would be effortless!

How did she know that the country she led, even if it did not ally with China, would colonize Shijie in the future and become an empire on which the sun never sets. But now this title has been transposed to the Ming Empire!

The Ming Emperor was very generous, and Zhang Fan, on behalf of the Ming Empire, presented the Jiajing Emperor's reward, a large number of satin, tea and porcelain, to Elizabeth I. The value of these gifts in Europe is even more than the income of the British royal family in five years!

Elizabeth I, who was overjoyed, was also very generous in promoting the hereditary title of Grand Duke of the Caribbean, and represented the British royal family to lead Caribbean affairs and liaison missions with the Ming Empire. And Zhang Fan's companions, Greenwing Arkon Xuanyuanxing, and the Book Demon were all rewarded with corresponding titles. Elizabeth I was very clever and decisive. She understood that with the current national strength of Britain, it was inseparable from the help of this alien duke. Especially the terrifyingly huge empire behind Shi Fan! And the sheer power of this empire!

To tell the truth, what is the great deal about a few vacant titles, as long as these Chinese are willing, it has nothing to do with giving a few more titles that do not need to be issued. Anyway, their fiefdoms are all overseas where those birds don't. It was not originally the territory of England. It's just giving someone else's stuff to another person.

With the assurance of Elizabeth I, the Great Ming Sailor was no longer alone in the Atlantic. At least for the time being, there is an unreliable ally that can contain the energies of other European countries. As long as Akon is given a respite, then as long as the immigrants of the Ming Empire are allowed to gain a foothold here, then even if they are enemies of the whole of Europe, so what?!

As for the British, with the support of this invincible Chinese fleet, their plundering captains and pirate fleets could swagger and rob the Spanish merchant fleet. Because the Spaniards' worst enemy is not themselves. Even if this Chinese armada did not take the initiative to attack the Spaniards, it would make them tremble and panic.

Zhang Fan felt the benefits of correct diplomacy at this time, and originally thought that the Daming Sailor would be embattled when he arrived here. As if to make enemies of the entire European powers. But now it seems that not only is the pressure on the Daming Shui Master much less. It also divided the relations between the European powers. Perhaps it won't be long before France and the Netherlands, two relatively weak empires, will come to make peace with them......

The fleet did not stop in Europe and left Britain mysteriously. In this era of lack of information, it is far more deterrent to let rumors exaggerate the power of the Ming Shui Division than to visit those countries in a high-profile manner. Mystery sometimes means scary! Perhaps by the time the rumors reached the ears of the King of Spain, the entire Atlantic Ocean would be covered with the ships of the Great Ming Marine! The brief appearance of the Daming Navy fleet in Europe this time will inevitably trigger a diplomatic storm among the European powers.

The Great Ming Marines purchased a large number of British goods, resupplied them, left England, and crossed the Atlantic Ocean again to the New World of North America. This time there were many British ships following the fleet, and on the one hand they felt that it was an honor to be with such an invincible armada. On the other hand, they knew that this armada would go to trouble the Spaniards, so they might be able to get a piece of the pie then. Under such thoughts, countless British captains plundered ships and sailed far away with their sailing ships around the fleet of the Ming Naval Division.

Along the way, many ships from other countries heard the news. To Zuihou, the ships of the Western countries that followed were even far more than the size of the fleet of the Daming Naval Division! And those captains didn't know which ships were not the ones of the Ming Marine. Therefore, the further back on, the captains who arrived later were extremely amazed at the scale of this invincible armada!

Seeing this situation, Akon was even more excited. After consulting with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, he decided to communicate with these Western captains. Let them attack the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean with their own fleet. Tempted by huge profits, these wanton ships must be happy to serve as cannon fodder for the fleet! In this way, you don't have to over-consume your strength.
