Europe, when the Ming Dynasty people in the East were concerned about the rise and fall of stock prices and where it was more cost-effective to immigrate, London, the capital of the Kingdom of England on the island of Great Britain in Western Europe, was here.
With a trace of mist, King Henry VII rode slowly on his tall horse in front of the huge army camp.
The army in front of him was an army he had devoted all his efforts to build, with a total of 50,000 people. Not only did he use up the last penny in his pocket, but he also borrowed money from France and the Holy See. Got a lot of debt.
Coupled with the war reparations that needed to be repaid, Henry VII even sold his wife¡¯s gold and silver jewelry, and he was no longer willing to wear clothes made of Daming brocade.
But Henry VII felt that all the efforts were worth it.
The 50,000-strong army in front of him made Henry VII straight and straight, full of confidence. With such an army, he not only successfully suppressed the big nobles and big men in the country who had always been against him. The lords obtained a lot of wealth from these misers.
¡°And he is also prepared to lead this army to regain everything that belongs to England and regain all the lost moral integrity.
"The brave knights~"
"Please follow me, follow my steps, let us use the weapons in our hands to teach those invaders who are domineering in our home a lesson, let them know how powerful we English people are!"
Henry VII roared vigorously.
The Treaty of London was an extremely humiliating treaty. Not only did England have to bear high war reparations, but it also lost Hampshire and Cornwall. In Hampshire and Cornwall, the Spaniards and Ming people are still there. Doing tyranny and doing good things, riding on their heads, eating, drinking and urinating.
"Roar~"
The huge military formation suddenly erupted with roars.
The angry English soldiers clenched the spears, longbows, and swords in their hands, and kept roaring to vent the anger in their hearts.
Soon, the mighty army was heading towards Hampshire in the south of the British Isles.
What was once Hampshire, England, and what is now Andal, Spain, is different from Hong Kong under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Although the geographical location and conditions here in Andal are much better than those in Hong Kong.
But the Spaniards had no intention of building it here. They set up the Governor's Palace here, and its main task was to monitor England's every move. They sent tens of thousands of troops to intimidate England and urge England to pay war reparations on time.
Therefore, it has been almost two years since it fell into the hands of Spain, but compared with before, Andal still has not changed much, and it should even be said that it has become worse.
The King of Spain showed no mercy to the people here and levied even heavier taxes than during England's rule. This was met with strong opposition from the locals.
But here, Spain stationed an army of 30,000 people, and everything was suppressed by the army.
Heavy taxes make the people here miserable and live an extremely poor life.
But the Spanish soldiers stationed here live an extremely luxurious life, and they also dominate here. They molest women from good families and bully men and women. These are all basic operations, needless to say.
Therefore, the people here are extremely eager to return to the rule of England, but obviously, this is not an easy task.
In the Andal Governor's Mansion, the Spanish Duke of Colste was frowning at the intelligence sent back from England.
"I'm afraid Henry VII will start a war again soon!"
"They have been making excuses for delaying the delivery of this year's war reparations, and a large number of people have infiltrated into Andal to encourage the poor to respond."
"Humph~"
¡°Do you think it¡¯s so easy to pick up the moral integrity you¡¯ve lost?¡±
There was a slight smile on Duke Colster's lips.
Spain is also very eager for a war now, a war to prove that it is the leading brother in Europe, and to establish its own status and interests.
This Andale on the British Isles is just a big place, nothing at all.
What really troubles Spain now is its interests in North and West Africa.
Spain finally won the Three Kingdoms War. I originally thought that everyone would be afraid of itself and would give in to itself. However, in fact, the Spanish were completely wrong.
Whether it¡¯s Portugal or France, or this English pirate,Came to Jiang Liang's Governor's Office to report.
"The fight is finally about to begin~"
"How long did Henry VII hold it in? I thought Henry VII didn't have the guts."
When Jiang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
??????????? Then he thought for a while and said: ¡°Pass my order, the Hong Kong fleet will enter a wartime state from now on. Their mission is to ensure the Spanish supply line at sea and not let the Spanish supply ships be harassed by pirates.¡±
"How long did it take to take action? It seems that Henry VII has reached an agreement with Louis XII of France and Manuel I of Portugal. This war will definitely be more than just a war between the Spanish and the English."
"The French and Portuguese will support the English behind them, and behind Spain there is the Holy Roman Empire. The last ones are our Ming Dynasty and the Holy See."
"So now, what we have to do is let the Spaniards have a bloody battle with the English!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
