In the land of the East, the people live in peace, the country is stable, and the monarchs and ministers are in harmony.

At this time, the Quartet has basically subsided, and as far as the eye can see, there are few opponents around who can match Dahua.

The Dahua Imperial Court has also entered the stage of governing the world.

Everything is thriving, and the Hua Dynasty is in stability and gradually moving towards the peak.

The years are like water, and like a white horse, in the blink of an eye, it is several years.

In the twentieth year of Dahua, Yan Hongliang died, the emperor was very sad, and he was "loyal", Yan Shishu took over his position in the cabinet and became the new cabinet chief, in the same year, Mu Tianyang was promoted to the secretary of the ministry, and entered the cabinet the following year.

In the twenty-fourth year of Dahua, the revision of the history of the Ming Dynasty was completed, the original manuscript was included in the national treasury, and the copies were distributed throughout the country, causing a wave of research.

In the twenty-sixth year of Dahua, the battle between Spain and France was finally decided.

The French won a crushing victory, and after a long war, they finally won the victory.

However, the cost was not small, not to mention the loss of the army, and at the same time, the local industry and commerce were also affected by the war, which was not very strong, and now it was greatly suppressed.

Spain could not hold on, after all, their population was much worse than that of France, and the loss of their army was too great for them to maintain, and now that France was united to defend themselves against the enemy, they were indeed difficult to parry.

Although the Chinese Dynasty had support from time to time, the troops had no fighting spirit, and it was really difficult to win the war.

In the final Battle of the Dunes, the Prince of Condé and the Viscount of Tyrrenne led the French army to defeat the Spanish army in one fell swoop, and the victory was sealed.

Spain was forced to sign a peace treaty with France.

The war depleted the last vestiges of Spain's treasury, and shortly after the war, Spain declared bankruptcy.

France was no better, and the continuous wars also emptied the royal family's savings, and in order to maintain the war, the royal family continued to increase taxes everywhere, so that immediately after the peace treaty was signed and the foreign enemy withdrew from the country, an uprising broke out.

On the English side, Charles I died, and his eldest son succeeded him as Charles II.

He inherited his father's strategy and continued to make friends with the Hua dynasty.

Even later, after Louis XIV had finally completed the unification of the country, he sent people to contact him and try to form an alliance with him.

"Is this what you want to see the merchants of the Hua Dynasty who came and went to our country, grabbing profits, letting our wealth flow through our fingers like mud and sand, and making their kingdom richer?"

He encouraged:

"We can unite against him! We should drive out all the Chinese merchants who came to the West, confiscate their goods, and then use our navy to build a line of defense at sea, like an iron gate, to hold back all the coins, and to take our own interests. ”

"Let our merchants go to and from the sea, and let our country be as full of gold, silver, and wealth as the East."

But Charles II put it this way:

"I will not betray my allies, and my country will always be on the side of the Chinese dynasty." Categorically rejected Louis XIV.

Of course, allies and the like are nonsense, and there is no real friendship between countries at all, there are only interests.

He saw very clearly that the Hua Dynasty at this time had become a behemoth, which could only be befriended, not offended, and Louis XIV's knowledge of the Far Eastern Empire was still too little.

And he, who knew his father's war adviser, of course, got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the great power of that dynasty from his mouth.

Moreover, many things of the Chinese Dynasty have become popular in Europe today, and if trade is hastily cut off, it is afraid that it will immediately cause dissatisfaction, and even the nobles who are accustomed to a luxurious life will oppose it.

Louis XIV could only return in a huff.

He sought out several other countries and tried to form an alliance, but he was also flatly refused.

Only he really didn't dare to turn his face, so the matter was turned over. After this matter was known to the Hua Dynasty, it also retaliated for a period of embargo of important materials, which really made many nobles and merchants dissatisfied with Louis XIV.

He remained committed to expansion, asserting his hegemony and hoping to become the hegemon of the continent.

However, the fact is that due to various domestic contradictions and the changing continental form, countless obstacles have been set up before his hegemony and ambition.

The Sun King's road to hegemony is long and obstructive, and there is a high probability that it will not end at all......

……

Through the inflow of goods from Britain and France, the influence of the Chinese Dynasty on Europe became deeper and deeper.

In order to be able to do business better, the Chinese Dynasty constantly sent ambassadors to travel between countries.

Of course, very few people will refuse to establish diplomatic relations with them, but when it comes to trade agreements, when it comes to tariffs and whatever, a few countries immediately shake their heads.

There are also many politicians who have discovered the pros and cons and want to protect their own industry.

So Yan Quan sent a fleet to the West, had a "friendly" exchange with various countries, and thoughtfully invited representatives of various countries to come and visit.

The roar of the cannon shook the heavens and the earth, leaving a mark of destruction on the shore and deeply shocking the nations.

And this is just one of the various fleets of the Hua Dynasty.

Politicians in various countries are silent.

Soon after, when the ambassadors returned, the countries were much more enthusiastic, and the agreement was signed quickly.

Even, several wealthy countries came to the Chinese Dynasty and expressed their desire to buy warships.

"Sell?"

The receiving officials asked for the opinion of the military department.

"Sell!"

Here is the reply from the military department:

"We have three kinds of weapons, one is in service, one is newly designed but in the snow storage stage, and the other is decommissioned, and those that are retired can be sold."

"The coast guard is all retired...... It's almost like a fleet, obviously they focus on mobility, and they don't need so many big ships at all, so they just want to sell them. ”

So the nations rejoiced and drove back with their newly-arrived warships. Although these were retired, they were well maintained and could still be used in battle, and when they got new weapons, they were naturally not willing to be calm, and set off another wave.

At the same time that the agreement was signed, businessmen with a keen sense of smell poured into those countries.

They can be seen everywhere from the Netherlands to the east to Russia.

The goods of the Hua Dynasty circulated all over the world.

It is said that when he heard that those countries had signed treaties to express his consent, Dahua's Tobe Shangshu once laughed three times and said arrogantly:

"As long as there are human footprints, there will be my Dahua goods, and the wealth there will definitely flow into our pockets."

However, this is not enough for outsiders.
