Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The news that Marseille was looted spread quickly throughout Europe as if it had wings. Suddenly, European countries were in panic, and many coastal ports and cities were as silent as a cicada and were on tight guard.

    Who would have thought that pirates would be so powerful that they could plunder a large city guarded by thousands of people and with a population of hundreds of thousands.

    A city like Marseille is considered a big city in Europe. It was completely looted, let alone other cities.

    The shadow of pirates suddenly loomed over Europeans.

    King Louis XII of France was extremely angry and declared that they would investigate the matter thoroughly and would drown all the pirates in the sea.

    For this reason, France also had a fuss on the border with Spain, saying bluntly that it had discovered that pirates had entered Spain and wanted to enter Spain to arrest the pirates.

    It¡¯s just that Spain is not easy to mess with. Spain is now at its peak and considers itself the big brother of Europe. It has a strong navy and army. How can it allow the French to do such nonsense?

    Not only did the French not take any advantage, they were also beaten severely by the Spanish army. They were beaten to pieces. The two sides also started fighting one after another in the border area. Although the scale was small, it still caused the death of thousands of people.  The casualties also brought the relationship between France and Spain to a freezing point.

    Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the French are obviously looking for trouble in Spain, and what happened in Marseille is undoubtedly the work of the Spaniards.

    France alone is no match for the Spaniards. The French have not taken any advantage in several border troubles.

    The Spanish army, which has a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty and is also very wealthy, is armed with a large number of Miyun Type 16 muskets and Miyun cannons imported from the Ming Dynasty. The muskets in the hands of the French army are all self-made, and the difference is very big.  Can't take advantage of anything.

    Hundreds of thousands of people in Marseille seemed to have evaporated from the world. There was no news about them anymore. Only occasional news came back from the far east. They seemed to have been trafficked to the Nanyang plantations of the Ming Dynasty and came to Wennan.  In the tropics, sugar cane is grown.

    "Things amidst the anger and helplessness of the French people, it seems that this is how it will be introduced.

    However, when on the Egyptian side, the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire broke out again in the Mesopotamia, fighting for the ownership of the Mesopotamia, the Egyptians and the Spaniards fought again in Alexandria. The angry Cansu II even directly  Declared war on Spain.

    "Compared with these things, things in Marseille seem to have suddenly become less important, and will soon be gradually forgotten.

    However, the Spanish and Japanese people had no intention of stopping.

    The sacking of Marseille gave the Spanish and Japanese people a complete taste of the sweetness.

    Just over 100,000 people were sold as slaves to the Ming Dynasty, and they obtained nearly 3 million taels of silver from them. In addition to the massive amount of goods looted from Marseille, a large amount of gold and silver treasures, etc., it was only  By sacking Marseille, they gained a huge wealth of nearly ten million.

    And the cost paid for this is almost negligible. This kind of capital-free business makes money so fast. Whoever does it will know it, and whoever does it will become addicted.

    "You can rob all the wealth that others have worked hard to accumulate in one fell swoop. You can even sell people as slaves. This business is simply not too high-spirited.

    With the successful experience of Marseille, in less than half a month, the Spaniards and the Japanese started trouble again, this time it was Brighton in England.

    Compared with Marseille, Brighton has a smaller population, only tens of thousands of people, and because it is located in Western Europe, it is far less wealthy than the port of Marseille on the Mediterranean.

    But looting is relatively easier. It¡¯s still the same tactic. Send some ships to sneak in in advance, and then arrive before it¡¯s too late. When it gets light, you can catch the cattle and sheep behind closed doors.

    Almost overnight, Brighton, with tens of thousands of people, was completely looted. Just like Marseille, not even a chicken was left.

    After Marseille in Brighton, Henry VII of England was as furious as Louis XII. After some investigation, everything pointed to the Spaniards and the Japanese who came from the far east.

    "These Japanese people are extremely good at lurking. They have a kind of ninja that has been strictly trained. They are very powerful. They can sneak in quietly and assassinate you.

    Brighton has been heavily guarded, but it was still being looted quietly.After all, there is no news about tens of thousands of people, and no one knows where they were trafficked to that corner of the world.

    The angry Henry VII led the newly trained army to surround the Spanish colonies in England. If any pirates entered, he wanted to arrest the pirates.

    The excuse is still the same as the French, they want to vent and express their anger, but the Spaniards blame the matter on the pirates, and they blame it completely, threatening that as long as there are pirates, the Spaniards will drown them in the sea.  , will never tolerate it.

    The angry Englishman was helpless and gritted his teeth in anger.

    Marseille and Bled were looted by pirates one after another. The French and English were extremely angry. On the one hand, they began to cause trouble for Spain on the front. On the other hand, the Pirate Alliance also began to launch a counterattack.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT off, the Pirate Alliance only targeted Spanish overseas colonies and treasure ships. However, now that the Spaniards do not care about martial ethics, they have also begun to attack cities and ports along the Spanish mainland.

    Sometimes pirates even stare directly at these ports. As long as a ship comes out, they will kill them without hesitation. Once the Spanish warship comes out, they will immediately escape.

    Suddenly, from the Mediterranean to the coast of Western Europe, from West Africa to North Africa, pirates were rampant everywhere. From time to time, there would be news that a certain place had been looted by pirates. The entire Western Europe region was suddenly panicked, and the shadow of pirates was deep.  Deeply shrouded.

    Spain has always regarded itself as the big brother of Europe, so it is naturally impossible for it to just swallow its anger.

    The Pirate Alliance kept looking for trouble for Spain, and Spain responded unceremoniously. Soon, after Brighton, Portugal's Porto and the Netherlands were attacked and plundered by pirates.

    At the same time, outside the major ports of England, Portugal, France, the Netherlands and other countries and regions, a large number of Spanish warships were disguised as pirates. As long as they saw ships from these countries coming out, they would immediately loot them.

    The back-and-forth between the two sides was almost completely broken. Later, they didn't even bother to raise the pirate flag, and just started doing these things with their own flags.

    At the same time, there were constant frictions between the two sides on land. On the border between France and Spain, the French sent troops to try to take back Bordeaux, which was taken away by Spain, but they ended in failure.

    Portugal also tried to send troops to take back the areas robbed by Spain. To this end, a large-scale war broke out. With the support of the local Portuguese, they actually succeeded in taking back the areas.

    But they were soon suppressed by the Spanish army. Under the attack of artillery and muskets, the Spaniards quickly recaptured these areas.

    Henry VII of England tried to take back Hampshire ceded to Spain, but was beaten back by the well-prepared Spaniards.

    At the same time overseas, the French seized Accra, an important Spanish colony in North Africa, in retaliation for Spain. Portugal took the opportunity to seize the most important Cape Verde Islands in West Africa, trying to control the route from West Africa to Europe in order to loot Spain.  treasure-carrying ships, and at the same time combat the rampant plundering behavior of the Japanese in Western Europe.

    For a time, both sides were originally doing these shameful things under the guise of pirates, but now they are clearly at odds with each other.

    From the coastal areas of Europe to the colonies in West Africa and North Africa, from the land to the seas everywhere, the two sides come and go, the smoke is filled, the swords are drawn, and a war is constantly brewing.

    Both sides are accumulating strength and preparing to deal a fatal blow to the other side. They have reached this point. The third Western European War has also reached the point where it is inevitable.

    Even Italy, the Holy Roman Empire, and countries in the Nordic region are also involved, plus North Korea and Persia in the original West African region, as well as Egypt and the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East. Suddenly, a world war has begun.  It's brewing and the storm is raging!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
