Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the royal palace in Paris, France, the big-nosed King Francois was looking at the map of Europe, with a smile on his face.

    "Haha, Charles V of Spain is finished now. This time it's not just France and England, but also the Holy Roman Empire joining the war against Charles V."

    "They wantonly killed nobles and annexed their lands and properties. This seriously violates the aristocratic spirit and tradition of Europe. This is the opposite of the whole of Europe."

    "I think soon, many principalities and states in Italy will join the war. When the time comes, we will attack from all sides. I will need to see how long you, Charles V, can hold on."

    Francois looked at the map, which clearly identified the two main forces.

    One is a large army composed of many states of the Holy Roman Empire attacking the Netherlands, which Spain has just recovered, and the other is the navy of England and the French navy attacking the Netherlands directly from the sea.

    As for France itself, Francois prepared to attack Spain from both sides at the same time, attacking the Netherlands from the north, and directly crossing the Pyrenees Mountains from the south to attack the Spanish mainland.

    "This time the scale of the stand is far greater than the previous two. The many states in the Holy Roman Empire alone have formed more than 300,000 troops. This is the first batch. If necessary, we can continue to recruit troops.  .¡±

    "England is also very powerful this time. It dispatched more than 200 ships and tens of thousands of troops, which can at least blockade the English Channel."

    "Even the Holy See has called on other countries to send troops to Spain, and we are all equipped with a large number of new Ming Dynasty firearms and artillery."

    "Hehe, this time, we in France will get back everything we lost in the previous two battles with capital and profit."

    Francois couldn¡¯t help but clenched his fists when he thought of this.

    He ascended the throne at a young age, but never had great power. It was not until recent years that he grew up and began to gradually gain power over France.

    The humiliation of the previous two wars is still fresh in his mind. For this reason, he has been working hard and working hard, in order to strengthen the strength of France, make France great again, and defeat Spain to become the most powerful country on the European continent.

    But because of the support of the Ming Empire, the Spanish Empire was becoming increasingly powerful, and it also had vast colonies. France did not have a single colony. In contrast, Spain was becoming increasingly powerful, which made him worried and anxious.

    He clearly realized that France alone was no match for the Spanish Empire, especially the current Charles V, who was also the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

    I just didn¡¯t expect that this Charles V would be so tossing.

    He actually believed in the words of some small nobles who had returned from studying in the East, and actually wanted to imitate the Ming Empire and establish a strong centralized dynasty.

    Abolition of the nobility's territories and taking back a large amount of power in the hands of the nobility seriously violated the interests of the European nobility, and also made Charles V stand on the opposite side of the ancient nobility throughout Europe.

    This is simply suicidal!

    Even though the Spanish Empire was powerful and had the support of the Ming Empire, it was not enough to fight against the nobles of the entire Europe. Failure was inevitable.

    Francois believed this very much.

    "Your Majesty, envoys from England, the Holy Roman Empire, the Holy See, and Italy have all arrived."

    At this time, a minister came to Francois I and reported to him.

    "welcome!"

    When Francois heard this, he said quickly.

    Soon, the Duke of York, sent by King Henry VIII of England, Duke Branden of the Holy Roman Empire, Cardinal Paul of the Holy See, and Duke Aigley of Florence, Italy came to the palace.

    Francois exchanged pleasantries with them, and after asking each other about the king's physical condition, they quickly entered the main body.

    ¡°Charles V of Spain acted recklessly, seriously damaging and violating the aristocratic system and chivalry that we have always had in Europe. He was an extremely cruel, greedy, and bloody monarch.¡±

    "Not long ago, the lowlands were occupied by his powerful army. Wherever they passed, the blood of the nobles dyed the Danube red, and the bones filled the lowlands."

    "He has no aristocratic spirit, and he uses lowly common people wantonly. He also pollutes the ancient noble bloodline, imitating the emperors of the East, and wantonly canonizes women of minor noble origin as concubines, and even marries commoner women as concubines.  ?After signing the agreement, Francois began to discuss with everyone the matter of jointly fighting against the Spanish Imperial Army.

    When talking about this matter, everyone suddenly started to frown.

    The Spanish Empire¡¯s army is indeed very powerful, mainly because it uses a large number of arms and weapons from the Ming Empire. It also uses retired soldiers of the Ming Empire to train its own army, and there are also Ming soldiers to help make plans and command the army.

    In contrast, although the alliance's army is much stronger than before, most of the arms and weapons used by everyone are still old-fashioned firearms and cannons produced by themselves, which are incomparable with those made by the Ming Dynasty.

    "Everyone, don't worry. I have contacted the Ming Dynasty businessmen in Hong Kong. They said that as long as we have money, they can sell us as many arms and weapons as we want."

    "When it comes to European affairs, the people of Ming Dynasty are absolutely neutral!"

    Hearing this, everyone was speechless for a while, only a ghost would believe what the Ming Dynasty said.

    But as long as the people of Ming Dynasty are willing to sell arms and weapons, it will be easy to say.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
