Chapter 566: Contempt

A black dot appeared in the endless Pacific Ocean, and soon there were more and more black spots, and finally a black cloud was formed!

The Daming ocean-going fleet set off at the end of October of the twelfth year of Jiajing, and finally arrived on the French coast of the Dawu Dynasty in April of the thirteenth year of Jiajing!

It lasted half a year, a month and a half more than the usual ocean voyages, more than 2,300 huge sea ships, a terrifying fleet that can make people's scalps tingle at a glance, 4 million immigrants, and a mountain of military supplies, after experiencing several super supplies, as well as rare cold waves and hurricanes, they arrived at their destination without danger!

The Dawu Dynasty was boiling, and the countries of Western Europe were shocked!

After nearly five years, under the initiative of the Holy See, the countries of Western Europe have formed a joint fleet with more than 300 warships, each of which is covered with iron armor, and the countless gun ports make this fleet look like a group of terrifying and hideous beasts.

The combined fleet that was easily destroyed by the Ming fleet last time had as many as a thousand warships, and although the number of the combined fleet was only one-third of the original this time, the Holy See was confident that the previous fleet could be easily defeated with the combat strength of this new fleet!

This is the shame and courage, the Western European countries that were pressed to the ground by the Emperor Wu and rubbed hard, they really learned from the pain, and fought hard to develop the military industry like crazy, although the effect is not too big, but it also gives the Holy See the confidence to fight with the Great Wu Dynasty!

Whether it's a land battle or a naval battle!

Therefore, when the Ming fleet 'helped' tens of millions of Western European immigrants to the Americas, this combined fleet began to raise its presence on the sea, and the coastal waters of Portugal and France were one of the most frequent areas of the fleet!

Whether the Dawu Dynasty abides by the covenant, lacks strength, or waits for the opportunity, these Holy See don't care too much, and even the existence of Dawu is not necessarily a bad thing for the Holy See.

This is because the tradition of Western Europe is that the divine right overpowers the royal power, but with the strength of various countries, especially the Holy Roman Empire, in fact, the Holy See has long been against the sun, and their faith in the Lord is still unwavering, but the Holy See has long lost the fear it should have!

Dawu appeared, as soon as it appeared, it destroyed Portugal and Spain, and its terrifying war ability made the whole of Europe tremble, in order to resist the invasion of the pagans in the East, a plate of scattered sand could only be broken by each, so the Holy See took on its due responsibility!

Integrate Europe with the power of faith to fight to the death against the pagans of the East!

Then the combined fleet was destroyed, and then the Battle of Andorra was defeated......

Just when many believers thought that the Lord had abandoned them, the Holy See once again stood up and signed an alliance with Dawu at an unimaginable cost, buying time for the European countries.

Now that it has been five years, Dawu has not moved, and it seems that he has been content with the status quo, but the hatred engraved in the bones of the European countries and the shame of the Holy See, as long as they are not reported for a day and are not washed away, they will not be able to sleep peacefully for a day!

The Holy See knows that there is still a gap between their military industry and Dawu, but it is no longer the kind of desperate gap, five years, countless wealth, so that this gap is shortened little by little, in the eyes of the Holy See, at most five years, they can launch a holy war against Dawu, then the crusaders will inevitably destroy Dawu and regain the land that should belong to Europe.

They will tie the emperor of Dawu to the stake of the fire, roast and save, save and roast, and they will make millions of Eastern heretics their slaves!

As for whether Dongfang Daming will retaliate, this is not within the scope of the Holy See's consideration at all.

Now, the fleet of the Eastern Ming Dynasty has come to Western Europe again after more than half a year, but the Western Europeans feel that this fleet is both familiar and unfamiliar.

The reason why it is familiar is because the sailor battle flag fluttering in the wind on each battleship is still the evil shark, and the battleship at the head is still a formidable steel giant!

And strangeness is because of fear!

Western Europeans still remember the familiar Ming fleet, the number is only six or seven hundred, and more than half of them are captured European warships, but the fleet in front of them is three or four times larger than the previous one, and the first one is a full ten giant ships with a metallic luster!

All self-confidence and confidence were shattered at this moment.

More than 300 warships watched the Ming fleet sail into the port, and the Ming fleet seemed to be full of contempt as if they didn't exist at all!

Countless people walked down from the battleship, perhaps because they had been sitting on the ship for a long time, and their pace was a little unsteady when they first walked on land, and many people fell straight to their heels, causing bursts of laughter.

However, the Western Europeans did not have the heart to read the joke, and roughly estimated that there were as many as three or four million Eastern pagans entering Western Europe this time, and hurriedly drove the fleet away quickly.

In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has not sent immigrants to Western Europe, and the Holy See thought that the Ming fleet was busy making money for their immigrants and had no ability to do so, but now it seems that it is a big mistake!

The appearance of so many sea ships at one time shows that Daming has always had the ability to transport immigrants, but no, so what does it mean to come this time?

War!

Da Ming knows, Dawu knows better, and the Holy See can't be ignorant, they all know that population is the root of limiting Dawu's aggression and expansion, after all, limited by population, even if you occupy more land, it is in vain.

But now that there are suddenly millions more people, Dawu must need more land to settle and feed these people, so will Dawu still abide by the covenant?

Then the question arises, if the Holy See knows that the reason why Dawu does not start a war is population, then why is there an alliance?

Quite simply, war and colonization are two different concepts!

Dawu could have launched a major war against Western Europe without the purpose of occupation, even if it didn't matter if Western Europe was reduced to ruins, then with Western Europe, which had just experienced a crushing defeat in the Battle of Andorra at that time, what could it use to resist!

How was France destroyed? Do you need to be so clear?

In the final analysis, the purpose of the Holy See is to buy a short period of peace with silver, and to use time to close the gap.

"Is this Europe in the far west?" Among the immigrants who landed was a sturdy man, surnamed Ma, with a drag oil bottle hanging from his body, holding a child who looked to be only five or six years old in one hand, and a mother-in-law with the same curious face on the other.

This is a family from Hubei, in the early years of the famine, there was no harvest in the field, in order to survive can only borrow the money of the Hao Gentry's seal, and then unable to repay, so he gave his family's few acres of thin land to the Hao Gentry, and then sold himself to the Hao Gentry's family, became a slave, and naturally became a hidden household of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as the immigration policy came out, in Emperor Jiajing's murderous decree, no magnate dared to disobey the emperor's will, not to mention that the magnates were not stupid, for the sake of some slaves and the emperor to do it, wouldn't it be hopelessly stupid......
