Dongzhou Li Chengdong and Zhang Yida gradually gained a firm foothold after receiving the support of the Ming Dynasty.Relying on the resources of the Ming Dynasty, the two feudal lords adopted the strategy of uniting the indigenous people of Dongzhou, and creatively put forward the concept of the Yin people, treating the indigenous people as descendants of the Shang Dynasty, thus alleviating the contradictions between races and races in the process of colonization.Now, Zhang Yida has regained Jincheng and his power is developing southward against the Spanish Empire, while Li Chengdong has crossed the mountains and entered the Great Lakes region to compete with Britain and France for the central part of Dongzhou, as well as the eastern coast.The two feudatories did not slaughter and oppress the indigenous people of Dongzhou like the Xiyi, but reformed the subjugated tribes, solved the chieftains and sacrificial classes of the tribes, liberated the tribesmen, and organized them into peasants or soldiers.Now, after receiving a large number of arms aid from the Ming Dynasty, each of the two feudal domains has nearly 10,000 native soldiers armed with muskets, and their strength has seriously threatened the colonization of Western countries in the Americas.London, England, Lord Protector Cromwell, who had been dead for several years, is now Charles II, who has returned from exile in the Netherlands, as King of England.After the restoration of Charles II, Cromwell was liquidated to a certain extent, but because he had just been welcomed back to China, his foundation was not solid.Although Charles II was eager to restore the absolute imperial power of his father, Charles I, he was cautious at this time, did not offend Parliament, but instead compromised with a strong parliament and declared the protection of human rights.At this time, in the British Parliament, the member of the parliament, Assmith, with a piece of information, shouted: "The fleet of the East India Company, in the Indian Ocean, has been attacked by the Chinese fleet.The Chinese have seriously threatened the interests of Great Britain in India, and His Majesty must take action to severely punish the Ming people. ”"Not bad!
The British colonies in the Americas are also facing the threat of the Chinese, and their power has reached the east coast.If Great Britain does not teach the Ming people a lesson, our interests in India and the Americas will be greatly damaged. ”Within the parliament, various members of the parliament were filled with righteous indignation and made their own remarks one after another.Charles II was very calm, "Gentlemen, the intelligence from the East India Company, the Chinese fleet, the strength is quite strong, their fleet alone, defeated the combined fleets of Great Britain, France, and the Netherlands, and even captured our flagship."
In the Americas, the Chinese armed the Indians and attacked our colonies, posing a great threat to us.But with all due respect, from what I have received, China is a powerful country, and it may be difficult for us in Britain to defeat it. ”"Your Majesty, is it just a matter of allowing the Chinese to expand in India and the Americas?
They will hide from our wealth and leave Britain destitute. ”The lawmakers complained.Charles II explained: "I also want to protect British interests in India and drive China out of the Americas, but Britain is now at odds with the Netherlands, France, and Spain, and cannot defend British interests overseas in a short time." ”Asmi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the barbaric expansion of the Chinese now has harmed not only the interests of Great Britain, but also the interests of France, Spain, and the Netherlands.I believe that the expansion of the Chinese will be the third yellow peril that threatens Europe after Attila and the Mongol Tatars.Under this threat, Britain should reconcile its contradictions with France and Spain and jointly deal with the disaster.Both Catholics and Protestants are God's chosen people, and we are to fight together against the expansion of the pagans. ”Many members of the House of Representatives rushed to a climax and supported Asmy's remarks.Paris, France.Now the famous Sun King Louis XIV is in power, and under his rule, France concentrated the aristocracy in Paris, and finally gradually realized the centralization of France and evolved into a high-energy state.After centralizing power, France grew in power and became one of the most powerful countries on the European continent.At this time, at the Palace of Versailles in France, King Louis XIV was holding a grand ball in the court, and a minister hurried in and found Louis XIV who was drinking, "Your Majesty, the King of England sent a messenger to invite His Majesty the King, and sent a minister to London to discuss the settlement of the conflict and jointly confront the Chinese." ”Louis XIV was less interested in this, and was more interested in annexing the West Netherlands than against China.At present, France is still mainly a continentalist country, with relatively few overseas colonies and commerce, except for friction with Li Chengdong in the Americas, there is not much contradiction with China.Louis XIV raised his glass and said: "We don't have too deep contradictions with the Chinese, Charlie wants to deal with the Chinese, wants France to help, he should come to Versailles, not let Yuan go to London to discuss!"
”The minister said: "The king also invited the Netherlands and Spain to participate in the discussion.It is said that it is to resolve the contradictions between countries and build an alliance against China. ”Louis XIV was interested, took a sip of wine, and said, "If the King of England can support France's claim in the West Netherlands, France will participate in the conference."
If not, I won't be in the meeting. ”Madrid, the capital of the Spanish Empire.As an old maritime power, the Spanish Empire, after passing through its golden age and the period of the gods, gradually weakened the entire empire.After the end of the Thirty Years' War, the Netherlands became independent, the Spanish Empire collapsed economically, and prices skyrocketed.Originally, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the complete decline of the Spanish Empire had to wait until after the Grand Alliance War launched by Louis XIV, but the rise of the Ming Dynasty seemed to make the decline of the Spanish Empire come earlier.Mr.
Ming Jun seized the Philippines, a Spanish colony in the Far East, which caused the Spanish to dig silver in the Americas, and the trade in the Far East to buy Chinese goods was completely interrupted, resulting in a shortage of silver in the Spanish Empire, soaring prices, and economic collapse.At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's colonization of Dongzhou directly threatened the Spanish Viceroyalty of New Mexico, and the colonial authorities suffered successive defeats in wars, which also exacerbated the decline of the Spanish Empire.At this time, when King Louis XIV of France received a note from England, the Spanish Emperor Carlos II also received an invitation from England.Compared with the French king, who didn't care and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seek benefits, Spain's need to resist the Ming Dynasty was even stronger than that of England.Carlos II immediately expressed his willingness to participate in the British alliance.For a time, a conference convened because of the rise of the Ming Dynasty was brewing among the countries of Western Europe, and the results of the conference will inevitably change the pattern of Western Europe in the future, as well as the historical trend.()
