Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    No matter in terms of time or space, this unprecedented battle is too long.

    The huge war expenses have even made big companies like Jiangnan Group, which owns mines and mines dozens of gold, silver and copper mines, feel the pressure.  We can only issue stocks and bonds and pass on the costs to live like this.

    However, the benefits of this war are also huge. The Nanyang was recovered, the Indian Ocean became the Ming Dynasty's inland sea, and control of the African coast was also obtained.  It also gained a claim to Brazil The Ming Dynasty finally completely surpassed Zheng He's achievements two hundred years after Zheng He and caught up with the Age of Discovery!

    ¡°In addition, without the stimulation of this war, Nanyang would never have been able to develop so quickly.

    Because the Southern Ocean is closer to the front line, especially after the opening of the southern Indian Ocean route, it takes more than two months for a cargo ship to travel from the Sunda Strait to the Cape of Good Hope, which is a full half of the original time.  Therefore, the group placed massive orders for military and logistics supplies to various administrative regions in Nanyang.

    With a stable and large amount of income, each administrative region will have money to build infrastructure and protect people's livelihood, so that immigrants can survive the initial difficult period.  It also allowed the administrative region's industry and commerce to take shape quickly. Businessmen from all over the country came to hear the news, the market prospered rapidly, and the economy entered a positive cycle

    ¡°In just eight years, we have achieved brilliant results, with flowers blooming everywhere and tens of millions of people immigrating!

    Although everyone is deeply exhausted, they have been able to hold on until today, inspired by constant victories.

    ??~~

    After hearing the good news brought back by Yilin, both Yimu and Yisen breathed a sigh of relief.  But Director Cai was worthy of being a senior official and quickly regained his composure.

    "Isn't that Philip II very arrogant? Why did he have the nerve to sue for peace?"

    "Isn't this a delaying strategy?" Yisen asked.  All fools know that whoever asks for peace first will wash his neck and wait to be slaughtered.

    "Probably not, because something big happened in Europe." Cai Yiling paused and organized his words:

    "Brother should know that although everyone in Europe believes in Catholicism, they are divided into Catholics and Protestants. In the eyes of Catholics, Protestant heretics are more evil than heretics, and they must all be burned to death. This is what they think, and it is also true.  This is done. In short, in Europe, sectarian conflicts are now the most acute conflicts."

    "Yeah." Cai Yimu nodded. He often studied. He knew that because of the corruption of the Holy See, some European countries abandoned the church from the bottom up and began to pray directly to God. There was no middleman to make the difference. This is what is called  Protestant.

    And Spain, Portugal and others are all vested interests of the Roman Catholic Church.  For no other reason than to maintain the papal meridian that divides the world, they must support the church to the end.  In short, these countries still regard the church as the spokesperson of God and resolutely maintain the Roman Catholic Church.

    As the church¡¯s largest vested interest, King Philip II of Spain was naturally also a fanatical supporter of the church. His persecution and discrimination against the Netherlands had a lot to do with the Dutch people¡¯s widespread belief in Protestantism.

    Another stronghold of the Protestant Church, the United Kingdom, signed the Treaty of Nansage with the Netherlands in 1585 AD, the thirteenth year of Wanli, and decided to fully support the Dutch power war against Spain.

    In Philip II¡¯s view, this was Britain declaring war on itself.  But at that time, he was beaten by a group of troops from the Ming Dynasty, Portugal, and France, and his fleet was unable to leave the Strait of Gibraltar, so he had to let his sister-in-law do what he wanted.

    "But Queen Elizabeth of England went even further. In the first month of this year, she killed her niece, Mary, Queen of Scots, who was a Catholic." Cai Yilin made a beheading gesture.

    "This woman is so cruel" Cai Yisen clicked his tongue.

    "Can a woman not be ruthless when she becomes an emperor?" Cai Yimu commented.

    "That's true." The younger brother shrank his neck and thought of Wu Zetian and his own editor-in-chief Ma.

    "Now Philip II couldn't bear it anymore. Everyone knew that he had been instigating Queen Mary to oppose her aunt behind the scenes. Now Elizabeth has openly chopped off Mary's head. If he, the leader of the Catholic Church, does not respond, who will do it in the future?  Are you still hanging out with him?" Cai Yilin continued:

    "Philip II's assassination of William the Silent was also a bad move. The Netherlands are now making too much noise. Moreover, France is Catholic, but in order to compete with Spain for hegemony, it also helped the Protestant countries to deal with him. Now Philip II  Shi finally came to his senses. He was the Chosen One, and he was not capable of fighting on four fronts. And because we had blocked the Atlantic Ocean Channel, his treasure fleet had not transported American silver to the mainland for many years. This made Spain domestic  People's livelihood is in decline, and a great famine has broken out"

    "Yeah." Cai Yimu nodded and said, "I understand, he really can't stand it anymore."

    ? ?Build our country!  "The three brothers said in unison.

    These words not only expressed their feelings, but also expressed the feelings of the entire group - this is the new world that Zhao Hao promised them!

    "Is it just this new world, including the entire Ming Dynasty?" Cai Yilin suddenly asked quietly as he watched the duck army marching away.

    "Of course." Cai Yisen said with sharp eyes through the glasses: "Otherwise, what's the point?"

    "That's too difficult." Cai Yimu frowned and sighed.

    The carriage equipped with rubber tires started slowly along the asphalt road paved with natural asphalt, but the three brothers stared at the north for a long time and refused to look back.
