"Whoever gains an inch of land in China will destroy the country and die!"

These few simple words made the Polish envoy tremble with fright and be speechless.

In the end, I had to leave the scene gloomily.

The domineering response of the second prince made Wu Sangui, Zheng Sen and others show appreciation.

Zheng Sen said angrily: "Is this Władysław IV crazy? ”

"Why do you use such a clumsy excuse to ask me for land in Huaxia and treat us as fools?"

Li Shizu said: "In fact, there are people who use this clumsy excuse to get a large piece of territory. ”

"During the Hongmu period, the Korean envoy falsely claimed that a large area of land in Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province in North Korea was the homeland of North Korea, and asked the Ming Emperor to grant land."

In fact, the Central Plains Dynasty and North Korea have always been bounded by the Datong River, and the "homeland of Korea" falsely claimed by the Koreans has always been the territory of the Jurchens. As a result, in order to win over North Korea to deal with the Northern Yuan, Emperor Hongwu did not investigate in detail, and actually assigned the Jianzhou Left Guard south of the Yalu River to North Korea! ”

"North Korea was also able to 'expand its territory' and push its border with the Central Plains Dynasty from the Datong River to the Yalu River in one fell swoop!"

"The Jurchens in North Korea also migrated to Liaodong because of this, and this led to the later Jianzhou Jurchen Rebellion!"

Who would have thought that the Jianzhou Jurchens, who gave the Ming Dynasty a headache, were actually a fool from the North Koreans.

Li Shizu said: "This time the Poles came to Suocheng, I'm afraid it's not so simple, the Intelligence Department must find out what is going on as soon as possible?" ”

"In addition, the front line was notified to enter a state of combat readiness, and the movements of Poland, Sweden and the Ottoman countries were closely monitored."

Although the most accurate information has not yet been obtained, his intuition tells Li Shizu that the abnormal behavior of the Poles is not simple.

In Vilnius, the capital of Poland, the Polish parliament is voting on whether to declare war on China.

Władysław IV came up with this idea because he felt that Poland and Sweden would face Tsarist Russia head-on in the partition of Tsarist Russia, and that they would suffer the greatest casualties.

The Chinese and Ottomans took advantage of them and did not face much of the main force of Tsarist Russia.

In particular, the Chinese army did not show much activity in the joint attack on Novgorod.

He miscalculated the strength of the Huaxia army, believing that the Huaxia army's will to fight was not strong, but their muskets were more advantageous.

Of course, none of this would make him make the decision to go to war against Huaxia.

What really gave him confidence was military aid from the Netherlands, Britain and France.

The rise of the Chinese Empire drove these old maritime powers almost out of Asia, with only the Netherlands remaining in the Dutch East Indies.

However, fortunately, at present, the Chinese do not have the idea of further entering Africa, and the most critical Cape of Good Hope is still in the hands of the Europeans.

As a result, these European countries still maintained commercial exchanges with China, after all, China's goods were still selling well, and although profits were compressed, they were still profitable.

But now Li Shizu actually occupied Moscow and entered Europe by land.

This has aroused the jealousy of European countries.

So the Dutch and Britain took the lead in forming an "anti-Chinese coalition" with France, Spain, and Portugal to prevent their further penetration into Europe.

On the one hand, the Netherlands and Britain were hurrying to build more sail battleships in an attempt to defeat the Chinese sailors at sea.

However, they also understood that it would be difficult to compete with the powerful naval division of China in a short period of time by relying only on the strength of the two countries, so the five countries prepared to form a powerful combined European fleet to expedition to India.

However, the threat from land is more immediate than from the sea.

They feared that once Li Shizu had consolidated his rule in the East European Plain, he would further conquer the hinterland of Europe, as the Mongols had done.

The Ottoman Empire was already a headache for Europeans, and now there is another Chinese Empire, and the two countries have actually formed an alliance.

The scattered Holy Roman Empire was constantly facing the threat of the Ottomans, and even Vienna was in a precarious situation, so it was naturally impossible to deal with the Chinese Empire.

At this time, Poland became the forward position of resistance to China.

As a result, this "anti-China coalition" provided Poland with 50,000 of the latest fire-starting guns and more than 200 artillery pieces of various types in the form of half-selling and half-giving away.

Moreover, they also promised Poland that once Poland was attacked by the Chinese, the "anti-Chinese alliance" would directly send troops to Poland.

It was with this support that the Poles dared to ask Huaxia for Vyazma.

Of course, Władysław IV killed two birds with one stone.

If the Huaxia could hand over Vyazma to Poland, even if he refused, it would be a helping for him to convince Sem to pass the Huaxia declaration of war.

Sure enough, after the Polish envoy brought back the threat of the second prince Li Shizu to Poland, many Poles were angry.

Władysław IV even put forward the incendiary slogan of "retake Moscow and make the Grand Duchy of Poland and Lithuania great again".

Many of the councillors of Som also shouted: "Get the Orientals out of Europa!" ”

Despite constant incition, the councillors gradually lost their minds and finally passed Xia's proposal with 55% of the votes in favor.

A new round of conscription and mobilization was also carried out in Poland, and Władysław IV would recruit 50,000 men into the army this time, and would gather 100,000 troops to launch a new round of attack.

Of course, it will take some time for new recruits to be recruited and trained.

What Władysław IV had to do now was to drag his neighbor, Sweden, into the water.

After all, China's national strength is very strong, and there are nearly 200,000 Chinese troops and servant armies in Europe alone, which is almost a strengthened version of Tsarist Russia.

So Władysław IV personally came to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, to persuade Sweden to send troops.

The Queen of Sweden is not currently in power, but in fact Prime Minister Osinsdana is in charge.

To Władysław IV's proposal, Osinsdana flatly refused.

Sweden had previously lost nearly 20,000 elite troops in the battle against Tsarist Russia, and the newly conquered areas also needed a large garrison.

Continuing the war against China is clearly a reckless use of force.

However, in order to show gratitude for Poland's previous help, Osinsdana said that Sweden could provide Poland with some military supplies.

With the armaments supported by the "anti-China coalition", Poland does not need these at the moment.

Without Sweden sending troops, Poland would not dare to send troops rashly.

He had to turn to the "anti-China coalition".

Britain, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and France jointly put pressure on Sweden to declare war on China.

Naturally, such a big move could not escape the eyes and ears of the Intelligence Division.

This information was soon gathered at the headquarters of the East Ryukyu Company in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Zheng Zhilong said worriedly: "I originally thought that Britain and the Netherlands would wait until more sail battleships were launched before they would turn against us, but now it seems that they are ready to start in advance." ”

Li Xingzu, the third prince who was sent by Li Xianzhong to study at the East Ryukyu Company, said: "The second brother's actions were too fast, and in just over two years, he conquered India, Persia, the Kazakh Khanate, and Tsarist Russia, and expanded China's power to Europe. ”

"The Dutch and the British can't sit still!"

In fact, they began to target China very early, and the Dutch themselves tried to fire white porcelain, trying to rob the market of Chinese porcelain in Europe.

It's a pity that the white porcelain of the Dutch is far less exquisite than the porcelain of Jingdezhen in China, and at most it can only enter the homes of ordinary people, and the upper class society in Europe only recognizes Chinese porcelain.

Originally, the British tried to grow tea in India and Ceylon, and the Dutch paid for the Annamites to plant mulberry trees to produce raw silk.

Although the quality of these teas and raw silk is not the same grade as that of Chinese goods, it is also an important means for them to try to break the monopoly of Chinese silk tea.

But it is a pity that in just a few years, these places were occupied by China one after another.

Now they have to continue to import Chinese goods.

Moreover, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is directly involved in European trade, and it is clear about the market conditions of these goods in the European market.

They have taken control of the pricing power, which has also greatly reduced the profits of these European "second-hand dealers".

In addition to traditional silk, tea, and porcelain, Huaxia also exported a large number of glass products to Europe.

Only Huaxia has mastered the method of making large pieces of transparent glass.

As a result, Italian craftsmen who had monopolized glass technology were almost unemployed.

Huaxia's glass has now completely dominated the European market.

In addition to large pieces of glass, Huaxia's glass products are also very popular.

The royal families of various European countries are popular to use daily necessities such as glass vases and wine glasses made in China.

In particular, the perfume of the Chinese people is popular in Europe, and it is said that some perfumes were designed by the Chinese emperor Li Xianzhong for his queen Hazia.

The frosted glass perfume bottle and the gold-plated nozzle accentuate the nobility of these fragrances.

Nine out of ten Bibles on the market in Europe today were printed in China.

But apart from the Bible, the Chinese refused to print any other books.

The Chinese established ties with the Holy See through the Bible.

When he learned that China advocated religious freedom and that there were also a large number of Catholics in China, he even publicly stated that the Chinese people were also God's people, and Europe should not discriminate against the Chinese.

Although Protestantism was separated from the Holy See, it was in hostile relations with Catholicism. But they also endorsed the Bible, and the Protestant archbishops made a lot of money through their cooperation with China.

Although the Europeans also mastered movable type printing technology, it was not as advanced as that of the Chinese.

They couldn't stand the fact that the Chinese people were losing money and providing Bibles to the church at a price lower than the cost of half selling and half giving away.

The Pope and the Protestant archbishops everywhere also did not want to see cheap Bibles entering the market, and printing Bibles privately in Europe was to be hanged.

With its relationship with the church, the East Ryukyu Company became even more popular in European countries.

Zheng Zhilong even bought a large piece of land on the outskirts of Amsterdam through his church connections, where a huge fortress was built and 3,000 troops were stationed.

Even if this "anti-China alliance" wants to fight with itself, the East Ryukyus Company is definitely not a lamb to be slaughtered.

Li Xingzu said: "The core of this 'anti-China alliance' is actually Britain and the Netherlands, and other countries are following suit. ”

"Militarily they relied on the British, but economically they were more dependent on the Netherlands."

"As long as we bring down the Dutch economy, then the financially exhausted 'anti-China coalition' will not be able to cause trouble for China."

Although the third prince is not very old, his vision is indeed very unique.

Zheng Zhilong also had to admire the education of the Chinese royal family.

The crown prince Li Shengzu has several years of experience in supervising the country, and he is a good hand in governing the country, and has inherited His Majesty's excellent political genes.

The second prince, Li Shizu, opened up a large territory for China at a young age, completely inherited His Majesty's military talent, and even had the momentum of being blue.

His eldest son Zheng Sen will also have an unlimited future with the second prince.

In his opinion, although the second prince will not inherit the throne of Huaxia, he has a wife who is the emperor of the Mughals, and India will be the fief of the second prince sooner or later.

The third prince, Li Xingzu, is a business wizard, although he has not followed him for a long time, but he has completely inherited the characteristics of His Majesty who is good at "making money".

And like His Majesty, he doesn't like to play cards according to routines.

He came up with the idea of cooperating with the churches of Europe to sell the Bible at a loss.

Losing hundreds of thousands of silver dollars every year, he was able to quickly open up the European market through the support of the church.

This young man's brain is spinning fast, and if he doesn't accept it, he can't do it!

Because of this suggestion, His Majesty actually directly rewarded the third prince with the title of county king, breaking the practice that the prince of China is not allowed to be crowned king before the age of 15.

After all, even the second prince who made great achievements for Huaxia was a prince who was not promoted until he reached the age of 15.

originally thought that the third prince was perverted enough, but just got the news that Li Yaozu, the fourth prince who had just turned 13 years old, was also named the king of the county by His Majesty.

The Four Princes, like His Majesty, were very interested in those "strange tricks".

The scientific research team of Liaodong University led by the fourth prince made the first "steam engine" in China, which was first proposed by His Majesty, but it troubled Huaxia engineers for many years.

His Majesty was happy and directly crowned him the king of the county.

However, these princes are not as good as the five princes of China, and the fifth prince Li Fengzu, who was born in Kyoto, has just turned one year old, and he has taken over the throne of the emperor of the Japanese kingdom from His Majesty, which is equivalent to a prince.

The Netherlands is a real business empire, although the world's first bank was founded in Venice, Italy, but the Bank of Amsterdam, founded in 1609, is the world's first real commercial bank.

The Dutch East India Company was the first joint-stock company to be directly established.

The Dutch established the world's first stock exchange and issued the first bonds.

In fact, the commercial measures implemented by Li Xianzhong in China were already in place in the Netherlands at this time.

It is precisely because the Netherlands has the most commercialized market in the world that Zheng Zhilong and Li Xingzu were given the opportunity.

They decided to bring down the Dutch business system in order to empty the pockets of the "anti-China coalition".
