Chen Jiayou received Zhu Jianshen's letter and sighed.

"The King of Chu is too ambitious, Italy is a noodle army, but he can stand tall in Europa because of the Pope."

"If the king of Chu dares to encroach on Italy, the Pope of Rome will teach him to be a man."

"Even with His Majesty's support, he can't swallow Italy entirely."

"Unless the king of Chu is willing to convert to Christ and change his face to become the same face as Europa, he will not be able to gain a foothold in Europa at all."

"The King of Chu was calculated by the British."

Chen Jiayou has been in Europa for eight years and knows this land too well.

Rao is the overlord of the world, the Ming Dynasty, in the words of the Europa nobles, is still very contemptuous, they only know that the Ming goods are cheap and easy to use, and once regarded the Ming people as barbarians.

The most arrogant were the Holy Roman Empire and the Hungarian Empire.

They threatened that the Ming Dynasty was a despicable race, and even declared war with the Ming Dynasty at one point.

If it weren't for the six battles of the King of Chu against the Ottomans and the cutting off of a piece of meat from the Ottomans, his impression of the Ming Dynasty would not have changed.

Speaking of which, these people are used to being on top.

Their intuitive impression of the Ming Dynasty is that the goods are cheap and the Ming people are ignorant, and now they add another one, barbarians.

Cheap, ignorant, barbaric.

It is the general impression of the Europa people on the Ming Dynasty.

In the 29th year of Jingtai, Chen Jiayou served in Europe again, and opened many newspapers in Europa, acting as a mouthpiece to advocate the Ming Dynasty.

It's been two years since this year, and the tide of fear and brightness has collided.

Indian, Safavid, Ottoman, and Jewish people are good at dancing and spreading phobia, while the British who are not on the European continent are fanning the flames.

The fear of light is mad and crazy is sweeping Europa.

But this fear is nothing more than a fear of the barbarians, like the Vikings they hate the most, a bunch of barbarians who only know how to plunder.

Even if Chen Jiayou wants to reverse the reputation of the Ming Dynasty, it will be to no avail.

Because the mouthpiece was killed, Mei Ming's ideology was suppressed, and he didn't have a problem for the time being.

Fortunately, the emperor held the Global Games last year, and those nobles and athletes who had been to the Ming Dynasty painted a prosperous Ming Dynasty, which slightly reversed the reputation of the Ming Dynasty in Europa.

Speaking of which, Zhu Jianshen was used as a gun by the British.

No, Spain to be exact.

The current Europa overlord is Spain, and Spain wants to annex Italian territory, so giving Sisikori to Zhu Jianshen is a benefit on the surface, but it is actually a big thunder.

Waiting for the Pope's wrath, Zhu Jianshen was afraid that it would not end well.

Befriending the Pope and believing in religion is contrary to the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, and this problem is almost unsolvable.

At this moment, he is in France, lobbying Louis XI to further open the market in France and deeply bind to the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming was willing to help Louis XI unify France.

But this did not impress Louis XI, his biggest headache was the problem of his son, he gave birth to many children, but only one survived.

The daughter is also crippled, and the family is very distorted.

He hoped to get the support of the Ming Emperor and support his son's smooth succession to the throne.

In the past, Louis XI would not have thought of Daming, but now that Zhu Jianshen and France are facing each other across the sea, Zhu Jianshen uses his absolute strength to deter Europa and make him willing to cooperate with Daming.

In fact, he didn't know the relationship between Zhu Jianshen and Emperor Daming, nor did he know the feudal system of Zhou Tianzi, thinking that Zhu Jianshen was just a Ming principality, so he contacted Zhu Jianshen in private, but Zhu Jianshen refused to negotiate and asked him to go to Chen Jiayou to talk.

In this canal incident, although Zhu Jianshen gave France benefits, he was unwilling to negotiate between countries.

The reason is very simple, Zhu Jianshen does not have the strength to wrestle with the French emperor.

Then let the emperor wrestle with him, and he will take advantage of him in the middle.

Moreover, Daming has a bad relationship with France, and he can also secretly establish diplomatic relations with France, which can be regarded as leaving a breakthrough so as not to completely tear his face.

This is the conclusion he reached in a secret conversation with the emperor when he left Beijing.

The wicked Da Ming will do it, and the benefits will be collected by the country.

Louis XI's request, Chen Jiayou was thinking about it, and he was also discussing it with the mission, but he felt that the matter was too big and he had to seek the opinion of the center.

Anyway, Louis XI was not in a hurry and gave Chen Jiayou time.

Da Ming wanted to tie up with France deeply, but also so that Zhu Jianshen could gain a foothold in Europa, Zhu Jianshen could not expand south, so he could only go north, and the Noodle Army was the best to deal with.

A few days later, Zhu Jianshen received a letter from Chen Jiayou.

At this time, the state of Chu was building two capitals, opening canals, and building a large number of buildings.

Chen Tai, an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, traveled thousands of miles to Africa with Kuaixiang's design drawings to help Zhu Jianshen build a city.

It also brought the emperor's secret decree.

The secret order first encouraged Zhu Jianshen, told him that everything was fine at home, and then helped him analyze the situation and told him not to fall for the British.

If you want to pinch the British, you have to pinch the Netherlands.

The current Dutch are very ambitious, and they will definitely not accept the monopoly of Spanish and Portuguese trade in the East, so they must unite with the Netherlands, make friends with the Netherlands, balance Spain and Portugal at the same time, and curb British ambitions.

The canal is a big bomb, the Chu State is not strong now, it is better to divide it and let each family benefit, but Cairo must be firmly occupied, and when the Chu State develops, it will dominate the canal and control the trade throat between the East and the West.

The Red Sea will be extremely important in the future, and to control the Red Sea is to control the world.

In the secret decree, Zhu Jianshen was repeatedly told that the territory of the Mediterranean Sea could be given up, and the Red Sea must be firmly grasped.

The canal should be dug within three years, and it should not matter how many people died, but the canal should be opened quickly. Strictly control the bloodline, the country will continue to send people over, and there is no confusion about the bloodline.

At the end, the emperor told him that the Ottoman seemed to be an outsider in Europa, and he would be cleared out sooner or later, and the state of Chu, like him, was an outsider, so he had to befriend the Ottoman and share some of the benefits of the canal with the Ottomans.

Tens of thousands of words are scattered throughout the text, and the text is in the vernacular.

Analyze the situation in Europa thoroughly.

The center will spare no effort to support him, this time sent Chen Tai, an important minister, to help him set up the center, the palace can be imitated in the style of the Forbidden City, although he is the king, he is actually the emperor.

He also asked him to promote talents from the grassroots level for his own use, and the Ming Dynasty would send some more jinshi, people, and talents to come over, and let him establish the imperial examination system.

The focus is on bloodline, the Ming Dynasty came over, not to be assimilated, but to assimilate them, to distinguish the contradictions of the priority, to take advantage of the contradictions of various countries, tossing and turning.

Especially to be friendly with the Pope, Rome is the center of the Pope, and it is also the center of Europa, and controlling Rome pinched Europa's balls, which is the foundation of Chu's ability to turn from a vassal state into an empire, and the emperor asked him to be vigilant.

Zhu Jianshen was deeply moved.

In six wars, the center smashed 12 million, and it was impossible to return to the capital, but the emperor resolutely supported him.

This time, a large number of materials, commodities, food, and a large number of machinery were sent to him to build factories and form what a country needed.

There is also a large amount of currency, which allows the people to circulate normally.

He even sent important ministers to help him form a center.

Along with the secret decree, there is also a family letter, which is written by his queen, Wan Fang Concubine and others, and the last one is a letter written to him by his eldest son Zhu Youjiao.

In his letter, he never mentioned how much trouble he caused in the palace, only how good the imperial grandfather was to him.

But the family letters told him how naughty his eldest son Zhu Youzhu was, tears were streaming down, and he was homesick.

He met first with the important ministers sent to him by the emperor.

Chen Tai took the lead, and there were a few acquaintances, Li Xian's son Li Zhang, Song Wei's son Song Zhi, Mao Zhong's grandson Mao Kai, etc., all of whom were considered good talents.

It can be seen that the emperor sincerely set up a center for him, rather than burying nails in the Chu State.

It's impossible to think about it, it's clearly written in the secret decree that they have only been in Chu for four years, and then they will return to China.

Looking at the expressions of these people, you can know that he really dislikes this humble feudal country, and Zhu Jianshen can't keep them at all.

Host a banquet.

During the banquet, when business was discussed, Chen Tai suggested that someone should be sent to befriend Osman immediately.

The old Ottoman emperor was angry to death, and the new emperor Bayezet was also a tyrant, and after some discussion, he agreed to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, but to take advantage of the Cairo Canal.

After some negotiations, the Ottomans were willing to pay 300,000 slaves to ensure that the canal would be completed within two years, and the Ming Dynasty would give the Ottomans 10% of the shares.

This made the other four countries of the Canal Company very unhappy.

But Zhu Jianshen had already sent someone to say hello, saying what the Ming Emperor meant, and asked for the canal to be opened quickly, otherwise he, the king of Chu, would not be able to stand it.

The implication is that if you have a problem, you should go and talk to the Ming Emperor, I will be an errand runner, don't embarrass me.

Daming's stake in the canal became 25 percent, and he is still the majority shareholder.

This canal has also become the Six Nations Canal.

With the addition of the Ottomans, the pace of excavation was further accelerated.

Zhou Xi set foot on Sicicori Island and was ready to take it into his pocket, but Naples was unwilling, so Zhou Xi waited for them to be unwilling.

Directly drive the strong army to attack, directly forcibly occupy, and directly slaughter without surrendering.

Daming's public opinion in Europa is not good.

This massacre immediately aroused the scolding of Europa and put the barbarians on the ground.

The Pope even issued a direct order to let the barbaric Ming people stop, Zhou Xi is not stupid, he is from the martial arts hall, he is Yu Qian's personal student, and he is a young general that the emperor is very optimistic about.

He is still very sensitive to politics.

When the Pope sent someone to deliver the message, he immediately stopped the attack, and this well-behaved attitude made the Pope quite satisfied, and he wanted him to convert to Christ.

Zhou Xi is firmly a royalist, the emperor doesn't believe in anything, and he doesn't believe in it either.

But his own mother was a staunch Buddhist.

So he was inclined to Buddhism in his heart.

Christianity also spread in the Ming Dynasty, and there were many people who believed in it, but they could not challenge the dominance of Buddhism in the Ming Dynasty, and even Taoism had to be aggrieved to rank second.

The third is the Yellow Religion, the fourth is the Yijiao Sect, and the fifth is the Basic Religion.

But no matter how big the Five Religions are, they are no bigger than Confucianism.

Confucianism reformed religion more than anything else, and Christ had to be forced to change, otherwise he would be seriously dissatisfied.

And the Pope, who is thousands of miles away, doesn't know yet, and when they know, they will definitely declare war on the Ming Dynasty.

So Zhou Xi refused, which made the Pope dissatisfied.

The Pope wanted all the Ming Dynasty to believe in basic religion, and in the thirteenth year of Jingtai, they sent people to talk to the Ming Emperor, but the Ming Emperor flatly refused and fought a battle with the Pope.

The Pope also called for the Crusades, of course, the Eastern Crusade did not succeed, but the relationship between the Pope and the Ming was indeed not very good, and later the Ming took the initiative to make friends, and the two sides eased.

When the Pope's decree came, Zhu Jianshen had to sigh at the emperor's foresight, and the emperor made him temporarily subordinate to the pope and believe in the foundation.

Sure enough, after Zhu Jianshen converted to Christianity, this barbaric war directly turned into a just war, and Naples was happy or not, and the pope didn't know, anyway, the pope was willing.

The island of Sisikori was assigned to the state of Chu, and the pope made a final decision.

The countries of Europa sent envoys to celebrate, but with a playful attitude.

The backlash came immediately.

The Pope asked the state of Chu to use basic religion as the state religion, and all people in Chu must believe in basic religion.

Zhu saw that his claws were numb, and the emperor didn't tell him what to do later.

The Pope can turn an evil war into a holy war with a holy decree, and he can also use another sentence to expel the Ming forces from Sissikori.

Zhu Jianshen asked Chen Tailai to discuss.

But Chen Tai is a good builder, and he is now a left waiter in the Ministry of Works, and he can't supervise the local wrist at all.

There's nothing to be done.

Instead, Li Zhang smiled evilly: "Let's promise them first, Naples is so big, let's take it down directly and be neighbors with Rome." ”

"Anyway, there are so many of us Ming, it will take time for all of us to convert."

"Take advantage of it first, and then prevaricate in the past."

"Anyway, we are in Europa, and we are also the target of public criticism, and the more debts we have, the bigger the territory, the more beneficial it is for us."

"As long as the canal is opened, not to mention that Rome will launch a holy war, even the whole of Europa will come to fight us, and we are not afraid!"

"It's a big deal to transfer a million troops from the center and sweep Europa!"

"As for the aborigines, they will all be sold back to Daming to make a small profit."

Li Zhang's idea is not generally bad.

In fact, the Pope of Rome is definitely not afraid of Chu State's repentance, because people can launch holy wars, crusades, and kill you.

But he didn't think that Da Ming was not the sick man of West Asia like the Ottomans.

Zhu Jianshen didn't think it would work.

The state of Chu needs credibility, and if it occupies too much territory, it is useless, so it should lay a solid foundation little by little, and then consider expanding its territory.

Song Zhi said: "Your Majesty, we don't look the same as them, even if the territory is small, it will be the target of everyone." ”

"As for credibility, it's built on the range of the cannon."

"As long as we are strong enough, we have credibility."

"On the contrary, credibility is worthless."

This was said by the emperor.

Over the years, the emperor has no credibility in the world, but it does not prevent him from doing business with the world, because if you don't do business, the emperor will bombard your country with a cannon and force you to do business.

Gradually, the world is accustomed to the domineering of the Ming Dynasty, and even the Ming Emperor is very dissatisfied with Louis XI giving him an equal letter, so it is not less difficult for the French ship, and the French Emperor has to bear it.

Zhu Jianshen looked at Chen Tai, and Chen Tai agreed with Song Zhi's words.

"Then do it!" Zhu Jianshen also let go, first grabbed the land, and then sold people to Daming like piglets.

Didn't Daming want some elites, sell them all, and let Daming select them slowly.

But there is a premise, we have to wait for the canal to open.

Zhu Jianshen can afford to wait, he occupies Sicikori Island, and he wants a little tenderness.

He first agreed to the Pope's conditions, and then transported the Ming people, reduced the aborigines to the second class, and selected those with a skill, and after the test, they became Ming people, and those who did not were reduced to slaves and went to dig canals.

Although Naples was soft, it still sent troops to fight the Ming for the island of Sicicori.

But this kind of war, for Daming, is a child playing at home, Liu Ning personally commanded, ten battles and ten victories, and Naples called Dad.

Naples went to Spain, its former master.

Spain was extremely dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty's rule of Sicicoli, not because the Ming Dynasty carried out massacres, but on this land, which they had coveted for a long time.

However, Zhu Jianshen blocked Spain's mouth with a large number of orders.

Besides, Spain signed the four-nation agreement at that time, and now it is repentant, which is somewhat unspeakable.

Spain is not a good thing, I wanted to pit Zhu Jianshen at the beginning, but Zhu Jianshen ate soft rice and ate it hard, so Spain regretted it.

Now the state of Chu has the support of the Pope of Rome behind it.

Zhu Jianshen came to the situation and sent a large number of daily necessities to the Pope, and the Pope praised the Chu State, especially tea, which solved their innate constipation problem.

It's just that they think that the church should be built first, and then the royal palace.

Zhu Jianshen gritted his teeth, and recruited another 100,000 slaves to build together!

Da Chu is a slave!

This is still sold to Daming.

Zhu Jianshen never felt that he was inferior, but the Ottoman emperors, French emperors, and Spanish emperors he had seen were all inferior in front of him.

Zhu Jianshen is taller than Zhu Qiyu, with a net height of 178, wearing shoes of more than 1.8 meters, and the traditional handsome guy looks, except for a little stuttering, and martial arts, everything is not bad.

Which emperor is taller than him? Those emperors are a head shorter than him!

When it comes to skin color, Zhu Jianshen is a standard white skin, warm as jade, not fat or thin, it is indeed not as white as Europeans, but it does not have the smell of Europeans.

Besides, Europeans are angular, but in fact, their noses are straight, and handsome guys and beauties do have them, but they have to be mixed-race, and pure-blooded people who are not mixed-race are really ugly.

Zhu Jianshen is of royal blood, his parents are both top beauties, he is definitely not bad, no matter the aesthetic differences between things and things, he has to admit that Zhu Jianshen has a royal spirit.

Let's talk about bloodline, the bloodline of the Ming Emperor is definitely the most noble bloodline in the world, and the one that can be compared with Genghis Khan's golden family, those countries in Europe, which emperor's bloodline is more noble than the surname Zhu?

Zhu Jianshen is not only inferior, but also extremely proud.

In his eyes, Europa is his defeated men, Osman is so powerful, he has lost four times in his hands, Napoli is a serious European, ten defeats in ten battles.

Song Zhi is right, credibility is only within the range of the cannon.

Don't dare to say that it will be killed, at least he is sure to hold on to the existing territory.

Zhu Jianshen demarcated the territory of Great Chu, the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, all of which belonged to him, plus Sisicori Island, which would occupy the entire territory of Italy in the future.

Now, he focuses on three places: Tunisia, Sisicoli and Cairo.

The emperor wanted to confer Somalia in the Gulf of Aden with his own brother Zhu Jianze, and he also asked for his consent.

He opened up the situation in Africa, and everyone in the clan wanted to come to Africa to lie down.

Zhu Jianshen is still hesitating, the Gulf of Aden is his land of dragons, and he doesn't really want to share it with others, but his current energy is in North Africa and he has no time to manage the Gulf of Aden.

Now that the Gulf of Aden is under his control, this is not stable, who knows if he will have ambitions and become the king?

Therefore, the emperor should speed up the division of the seal.

Zhu Jianshen's biggest problem is that he is separated by a large desert, a huge desert, which makes him unable to manage the other side.

In the end, he agreed and sealed Zhu Jianze separately.

Zhu Qizhen only has their three sons left, the third Zhu Jianchun died early, the fourth Zhu Jianchun died of illness a few years ago and has no son, and the fifth Zhu Jianshu died of illness this year and has no son.

Therefore, the emperor divided Zhu Jianze and asked him to take care of his younger brother.

There is another factor, that is, let him stop his brother's idea of sealing the country, let him go all the way to the north, and don't turn back to the south.

Of course, in terms of legal system, Zhu Jianshen is Zhu Qiyu's son, and this has not changed from beginning to end.

Therefore, Zhu Jianshen's sons were raised in the palace and raised with the emperor and grandson, and King De and King Chong did not have this good fate, their sons only played with the children of the clan, and they were not familiar with the emperor and grandson.

Brothers also have to settle accounts.

In the entire Sahara Desert, the legal principle is in the Chu State, which is the strategic depth of the Chu State, and it must not be lost. King Chong occupies the territory of Somalia and Ethiopia.

Zhu Jianshen put aside other thoughts and concentrated on attacking Italy's territory.

The dilemma at hand, one is the Pope of Rome, the other is Spain, Spain claims to be the hegemon of the Mediterranean, and now the Ming Dynasty has been born, so that Spain's absolute rule has been challenged.

The most important thing is that the state of Chu occupies Tunisia and the island of Sisikri, so it cuts off the Mediterranean Sea, and if the countries of Spain and Portugal want to go to the western Mediterranean, they must pass through the state of Chu and nod.

This makes the Europa countries uncomfortable.

The British have a really good strategic vision.

Quietly, he pushed the state of Chu to the target of everyone.

After Zhu Jianshen occupied Sisikori Island, he still wanted to covet the territory on land, so he cut off the entire Mediterranean, which was something that all European countries would never agree.

After taking Sisikori Island, Zhu Jianshen knew that he had offended the anger of the public.

In the past, the canal was not opened, and he offended the countries of the Western Mediterranean, but this time the canal was opened, and the countries on both sides were offended.

"The Brit is really insidious!" Zhu Jianshen gritted his teeth.

Knowing that it was a pit, he had to jump.

It is cool to cut off the Mediterranean, but it has to bear the wrath of the people.

Zhu Jianshen's eyes rolled and he put forward the theory of the high seas, listing the small island in the middle of the Tunis Strait as the high sea, and the countries of Europa jointly managed it.

Ships of any country can pass by at will.

He also sent envoys to lobby the countries of Europa to be willing to sign a free trade agreement, and Dachu would never interfere with the navigation of ships and branches of any country.

To put it mildly, I gave up some interests.

to appease the countries of Europa.

Since then, Zhu Jianshen has been highly wary of the British, and began to spread rumors about Europa's-stirring stick Britain.

Over time, the name of the-stirring stick has been confirmed for Britain.

Zhu Jianshen was even worse, proposing to redraw the territory of Europa and kick Britain out of Europa, believing that Britain was an island country hanging out of the country and was not counted as a member of Europa.

This was strongly supported by the French, who believed that the British were barbarians and should be removed from Europa alongside the Vikings.

Britain was mad and sent a direct envoy to the Ming Dynasty to ask the Ming Emperor to change to a vassal king.

Zhu Jianshen gave Britain eye medicine.

While frantically currying favor with the Pope.

I can't wait to build a church on the territory of Chu State in one step.

Then he wanted the entire territory of Naples and sought the support of the Pope's public opinion.

Zhu Jianshen underestimated the Pope.

In Europa in this era, the pope has a super big voice, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor who rides on the head of the emperor.

Zhu Jianshen's small move, people have already seen through it, the pope only needs benefits, but he refuses to agree to Zhu Jianshen's annexation of Naples.

Nonsense, Zhu Jianshen is willing to pretend to be a grandson and is willing to give benefits, such a good Kaizi, who doesn't hang? Can you get on top? Where are you on the top to find the next licking dog?

The Pope also underestimated Zhu Jianshen.

As soon as Zhu Jianshen said hello here, he went directly north under the banner of the Pope, and the main one was in the opposite direction.

The point is that Zhu Jianshen's men and horses do not believe in basic religion, and the Pope will not move.

I can only keep protesting.

Zhu Jianshen didn't listen to the affairs outside the window, and personally led the troops, Zhou Xi, Liu Ning, Song Shi, and Mao Kai came out together, and it took only three months to level the Duchy of Naples.

The territory was pushed directly to the edge of Rome.

For Da Ming's dishonesty, the Pope was very angry, and directly ordered Zhu Jianshen to go back.

Zhu Jianshen was also obedient, and the soldiers robbed for half a month, and returned directly to Sicikori Island.

sent a batch of benefits to the Pope, and the Pope liked and hated Zhu Jianshen, especially the people under Zhu Jianshen, hated him to the core, and did not listen to the Pope's orders.

A month later, Zhu Jianshen went on his second northern expedition, and in only one month, he conquered the Duchy of Naples again, robbed it again for half a month, and went back again.

In the thirty-first year of Jingtai, Zhu Jianshen went north to Naples three times.

Nearly one million people were taken captive, all the men were loaded and sold to the Ming Dynasty, and the women were left behind to be concubines for the Ming army.

The Pope strictly ordered Zhu Jianshen not to conquer Naples again.

Naples was completely crippled.

The birthplace of the Renaissance has now become a living purgatory.

Daming burned and plundered, and then withdrew, repeated three times, how many can there be alive?

"Barbarians, barbarians!"

The royal families of all countries are chattering that the Holy Roman Empire wants to launch a southern expedition to swallow Naples, and by the way, drive away the bedbug of the Ming Dynasty.

It was opposed by the principalities within the territory.

In fact, the Holy Roman Empire was an empty shell, with the imperial power weakened and divided into various principalities, princely states, and free territories.

It seems that the territory is incomparably huge, but in fact, it lives by the aura of the past.

Chen Jiayou's second envoy, the gifts to the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire, far less than a few more powerful principalities, and even a small free collar, Chen Jiayou went to visit.

Therefore, the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire was very dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, and the Jews propagated Ming-phobic remarks, and he was the first to support it.

Chen Jiayou ignored him, but became friendly with many principalities in the territory, such as Austria and the Czech Republic.

Naples went to the doctor because of illness, so he naturally agreed.

But the two countries don't share a border.

To borrow through several principalities, they were all opposed, and Europa also had a story of false ways to destroy the world.

The Holy Roman Empire can only sulk on its own.

In the spring of the thirty-second year of Jingtai, Zhu Jianshen carried out the fourth northern expedition and ruthlessly destroyed everything in Naples again.

Grab when you're done, and run when you're done.

This is the consistent style of Daming.

After a month's rest, launch the fifth northern expedition, this time Napoli will not resist at all, lie flat, you can grab as much as you want, don't kill me.

After taking Naples this time, Zhu Jianshen did not withdraw his troops.

Instead, envoys were sent to test the attitude of various countries towards the Ming occupation of Naples.

Daming goods, dumped in Europa.

Canal digging is also in full swing.

The state of Chu also displayed great military strength.

Taken together, the nations are surprisingly silent.

After two months in Naples, Zhu Jianshen decided to withdraw his troops.

Then stop attacking Naples.

This is Zhu Jianshen's cleverness, the silence of the countries means opposition, Naples is weak, but the attitude of the countries is the most important, they do not allow the Ming to occupy, the Ming will not occupy.

In the following days, Zhu Jianshen recruited many slaves, almost organized all the local Yi people, and dug canals with all his might.

Nearly two million people in the Cairo Canal are hungry and dying.

Countless people die every day.

It has been excavated for more than a year, and there are rebellions every day, but they have all been pacified, and the Ming Dynasty has 200,000 soldiers and is a supervisor.

The state of Chu is so arrogant, relying on the support of grain transported from the Ming Dynasty.

King Chong has already succeeded the vassal, he occupies the Gulf of Aden, grows grain with his life, gives it to the king of Chu, and contributes to the digging of the canal.

The nations were even more afraid, and the Ming Dynasty did not treat slaves as human beings at all.

The corpses that died on the canal, piled up in a mountain.

Akito didn't even blink an eye.

is still frantically arresting people and transporting them to the canal, I heard that the natives in the territory of Chu have basically been arrested, and the rest have been drilled into the desert.

It can be seen that the determination of the Ming Dynasty to dig the canal.

Zhu Jianshen is still urging all countries to send more people to the canal.

The British were good at dancing, spreading phobic theories, and began to slogan that the canal was the canal of Europa, and that the countries of Europa should unite and unite with the outside world.

It was mainly the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands that made Britain jump on its feet.

If you look at the map, you can see that the Netherlands and Belgium, the two balls of the United Kingdom, are the most important neighbors.

Now Belgium is ruled by Spain.

Originally, the Netherlands were challenging Spanish rule, but the Spanish Portuguese put the Ming in and rushed into the crucian carp like a loach to find another target for Europa.

Daming did a good job.

The British spread the theory of fear of the West, and it was Spain who was behind it.

The British are not vegetarians either, so they used the strait to set up the Ming Dynasty, and then turned around and sold Spain again.

It's all over here.

Zhu Jianshen disappeared as if he had disappeared, digging a canal with all his might, and asked the center to speed up the immigration, and now there are about three million people in Chu, with a ratio of 1:2 to men, and there is a shortage of women.

There are even fewer Chongguo people, only more than 400,000, and the ratio of men to women is 1:3.

Zhu Jianshen calculated that the two countries could accommodate about five million, and then they could reproduce their own offspring.

The Ottomans had recovered from their previous defeats.

He looked westward, and wanted to stretch his claws into the Chu State, but seeing the Chu State fighting Naples made him retreat.

The key is that Daming is still transporting people and things here.

It shows that Daming's ambition is far more than that.

Bayezid sent an envoy to the state of Chu, willing to support the position of the state of Chu in Naples, but needed the support of the state of Chu to take the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea by the Ottomans.

An alliance between the two countries could be implemented.

Zhu Jianshen politely refused, Osman didn't entertain him, and Daming didn't entertain him, and two annoying people were together, which led the crowd to attack him.

Waiting for the Ottomans to go to war, he launched the Sixth Northern Expedition.

He knows best that Naples is not strong, and it is easy to rule by him, which is rare because of the attitude of the countries of Europa, as well as the attitude of the Pope of Rome.

When the time comes, maybe he will have to fight Osman again and come to Na to vote.

Zhu Jianshen pondered.

Bayezet is not a fool, Zhu Jianshen refused, he knew that Zhu Jianshen wanted to pick up the cheap, he simply didn't do it, and let Daming continue to be the target.

But he felt that only when two hated people were together could they share Ottoman's firepower equally, so he kept in contact with Zhu Jianshen to realize the Mingao Alliance.

Zhu Jianshen has now made his sense of presence very low, and Da Chu's influence in Europa seems to have disappeared.

But the speed at which the canal was being dug was accelerated by the naked eye.

"Keep up the pace and don't stop work in the winter! After the canal was successfully opened, everyone got a Ming nationality! Zhu Jianshen issued a holy decree.

But those slaves don't want to be enlightened.

So motivation is low.

Da Ming has no other good way, but to kill and scare slaves.

While digging the canal, it was also looking for minerals, especially iron ore and silver ore, which were necessary for the Chu State, and could not rely entirely on the Ming Dynasty.

It would be better if there was oil.

Instead, he found a small gold mine, and there were small iron mines, but the mining volume was not large, which was the root of Chu's self-sufficiency.

Zhu Jianshen attaches great importance to it, and keeps asking the center for instructions and inviting domestic mineral experts to be sent.

The emperor sent several teams, all of which were looking for them among the people.

Zhu Jianshen also cultivated his own prospecting team, but the top priority was to open the canal, so that the Ming Dynasty would continue to send troops over.

The things that Da Ming has can also be transported in faster, so that his Chu State can be full.

He was alone in Europe, and the king was far away, so he could not help him militarily except for food supplies.

Don't talk about the clan sealing the country, they can't handle it well in the country, how can they help him?

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirty-third year of Jingtai.

The British persuaded the Holy Roman Empire and the Hungarian Empire to send troops to help Naples defend against another invasion by the Ming Dynasty.

Interestingly, the Ottomans suddenly started a war and invaded the countries on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, causing a shock in Europa.

Disgustingly, as soon as the Hungarian soldiers crossed the Adriatic Sea, they were cut off from returning home.

The Ming fleet appeared in the Adriatic Sea, fought a naval battle with the Hungarian Navy, repelled the Hungarian Navy, and then the Ottoman Navy came out to pick up the bargain and beat the Hungarian Navy to Dad.

When he withdrew, he was stabbed in the back by the Holy Roman Empire, and the Hungarian navy was completely destroyed.

The Maharaja of the Holy Roman Empire took the opportunity to attack the Hungarian Empire.

The Ottomans also entered the war, tearing at the Ottoman Empire.

If it weren't for Spain's refusal to open the Strait of Gibraltar, the Ming Navy would have bombarded the British mainland, scaring the British enough to immediately tie up with Spain, and no longer instigating the Netherlands to rise up against Spain.

At the same time, the Ming army entered Naples and carried out Ling Chi on the prince of Naples.

and gave the limbs to the British, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Hungarian Empire.

Zhu Jianshen announced that Naples was annexed to the state of Chu.

The army then moved north, crossed Rome, and attacked Florence.

The Pope stepped forward and stopped Zhu Jianshen's northward advance.

Zhu Jianshen negotiated with the Pope that Naples must be incorporated into the state of Chu, and the state of Chu could move its capital to Rome and become a state on the continent of Europa.

The Pope is confused, I am kind enough to mediate with you, but you are worried about my family?

Nature is resolutely opposed.

And the Ming Dynasty continued to go deeper, and the troops were divided into two ways to conquer Milan and Venice in succession, swallowing the whole of Italy.

The Ottomans were even stronger, directly conquering several principalities, occupying the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, and sharing the Adriatic Sea equally with the Ming Dynasty.

Spain intervened, but Zhu Jianshen did not listen, climbed over the mountains, and attacked the Holy Roman Empire.

Zhu Jianshen is also a ghost, knowing that he can't eat these territories, so they pick and grab them and move them to Tunisia.

The Ottomans were not satisfied with the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, and their troops went north to attack the Hungarian Empire, intending to swallow it in one gulp.

Everyone could see that Daming and Osman wore a pair of pants.

And the threat of the Ottomans is definitely much greater than that of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ottoman Empire is not equalized, the Hungarian Empire is gone, and the next unlucky one is the Holy Roman Empire, and the Ming and Ottoman will divide the Holy Roman Empire equally, and France will be able to profit, and other countries will not even be able to drink soup.

Realizing that it could not benefit from it, Spain immediately took the lead in convening a meeting of the countries of Europa.

Invite the Ming and Osman to hold peace talks.

The location is located on the Spanish island of Mahon.

Daming is now also one of the countries in Europa, to be precise, Da Chu.

Zhu Jianshen does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, he wants the whole territory of Italy, but the countries of Europa only recognize the island of Sisicori, and the rest of the country is not the territory of Great Chu.

In order to facilitate negotiations.

The canal project was temporarily suspended, in order to threaten the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Jianshen did not eat this, without you, I can still build it.

He decreed that the construction of the four countries should be stopped, and the Ming and Ottomans would not stop.

They don't do it, Da Ming does it himself.

Zhu Jianshen was still annexing the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, and it was precisely the battle of the Ming Dynasty that made the countries discover the weakness of this old empire.

In the eyes of Louis XI, the French army was stronger than the Ming army, and if France were allowed to attack the Holy Roman Empire, they could swallow half of the territory.

The British also saw the weakness of the old empire and the weakening of the Pope's control over Europa.

In the past, the Pope said that all countries had to stop.

Not anymore, the era of the Crusades has passed.

Especially after the introduction of the Ming loach in Spain, the Pope's control over Europa plummeted, because there are 3 million people who do not believe in Christ, and they can overthrow the entire Pope at any time.

This is the most terrifying.

In the past, it was believers everywhere, so the Pope's appeal is incomparable, much stronger than the royal families of various countries, as long as the Pope gives orders, the nations will obediently obey.

Now there are three million unbelieving bastards who can break the Pope's rules at will.

The key pope did not dare to offend Zhu Jianshen.

For more than a year, the Pope and Da Chu have cooperated very well, Zhu Jianshen is allowed to be radicalized, and Zhu Jianshen can be regarded as listening to the Pope's words, otherwise he would not have contributed to this peace talks.

If it really angered Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Jianshen demolished the church and sent troops to attack the Pope, they would really cry.

The British calculated that Britain could really take advantage, and the weakening of the Pope's rule over Europa was an opportunity for Great Britain, especially the weakness of the Holy Roman Empire, which showed that the ancient Roman era had passed, and the new overlord had appeared.

He glanced at Spain, the new hegemon who sharpened his knives, and the situation in front of him was facilitated by Spain.

The weakening of the Pope, the weakening of the Holy Roman Empire and the Hungarian Empire, benefited Spain.

So how much benefit can Great Britain get?

This negotiation made Zhu Jianshen see the weakness of the nations.

The countries of Europa seem to be powerful, but in fact, they check and balance each other and cannot develop each other, if he can take the opportunity to swallow more territory, even if he will become the target of public criticism, but he will take advantage of it.

There will definitely not be such a good opportunity in the future.

He also figured out that he was used as a gun by Spain, and Spain wanted to make the Pope's influence plummet and weaken the old empire, so he introduced the Ming Dynasty.

In this peace talks, he must get the greatest benefits.

The weakness of the Holy Roman Empire is probably coming to an end, and the few principalities in them are not soft persimmons.

There are also Spain, the hegemon of the Mediterranean, Portugal, the coachman of the sea, the Netherlands, which is eager to take the plunge, and France, which is known as the emperor of the land.

With so many powerful powers around and Italy without strategic depth, once they attack in groups, he will definitely be defeated.

So Italy is a noodle army, not for nothing, a peninsula with no strategic depth, except for making itself too weak, it can't keep this territory at all.

Zhu Jianshen is not satisfied with this broken island, he has seen the world, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is so huge, although he has such a large territory as North Africa, but in the future, the focus must be on Europe, and there must be enough strategic depth, so that he will be invincible in the future war.

Zhu Jianshen thought that this might be the only chance for him to tear off a piece of fat in Europa.

Italy must not spit it out, it must swallow another piece.

He also has to fight to the imperial capital of the Holy Roman Empire and take it at any cost, which is his biggest negotiating capital.

In fact, there is another invisible benefit, which is the Pope of Rome.

The Pope is in Rome.

Right here in Italy.

The spaghetti army is the weakest, why it can always exist, is that the Pope Protectorate, without the Pope, they can't even eat.

Zhu Jianshen saw this benefit, and he had to keep the Pope firmly in the palm of his hand.

He didn't believe in Christianity anyway.

It will also not be based.

The Pope's control over him and his backlash is a lucrative deal.

When others beat him, he used the Pope to block him, and then he still didn't believe it, so he was angry with the Pope, and he also pulled the tiger skin, forcing Europa to dare not beat him, so that he could be a Europa devil happily.
