On that day, the news that a huge Ming fleet had arrived at the Spanish port of Cadiz spread quickly throughout Spain and Portugal, and was still spreading to France and England at a terrifying speed.
In the luxurious Spanish Royal Palace in Toledo, Spain, golden sunlight shines on the Persian carpet through the glass windows from the Ming Dynasty. The curtains made of Ming Dynasty silk and satin are beautiful, and blue and white porcelain vases that are taller than a person can be seen everywhere. The oversized floor-to-ceiling glass mirror reflects the luxurious attire of Queen Isabella I of Spain.
On her head is a new crown inlaid with Burmese jade, with diamonds from East Africa and precious gems from Ceylon Island on it. She wears a gorgeous gauze skirt made of silk, and a piece of imperial green jade hangs around her neck ¡
"Alas~"
However, at this moment, Isabella had no intention of appreciating her own beauty.
The war between Britain, France, Portugal and Spain has been going on for nearly a year, and Spain has reached the point where it can no longer support it.
"When will reinforcements from the Ming Empire arrive in Spain!"
Isabella frowned. The only thing she can hope for now is that the Ming Empire can fulfill its responsibilities as an ally and send troops to help the King of Spain.
"Otherwise, if the Kingdom of Spain makes peace with the three countries after being defeated, the conditions may be extremely harsh. Not only will it lose its trading rights with the Ming Dynasty, but it may also lose a large amount of land.
Portugal has long wanted to expand its territory. The Kingdom of Castile has a fatal temptation for them. As for the French, I am afraid they don¡¯t mind expanding their national borders southward. The British have always wanted Spain to have Gibraltar. Strait stronghold.
"I'm afraid the Ming Empire will not come to support us."
Next to Isabella, her husband, King Fernando of Spain, shook his head slightly.
He can see clearly that Spain no longer has much value to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming people have established a firm foothold in the Americas, and their power has also expanded to the east coast of Africa, and is also heading towards the west coast of Africa. expansion trend.
There is even news that the Ming Empire is already bordering the powerful Ottoman Empire on land, and Spain no longer has much value to the Ming Empire.
"Their fleet could have reached Europe long ago, but they have been entangled with the pirates in the Atlantic Ocean."
"We can only rely on ourselves."
Fernando groaned.
"But, on our own, we cannot defeat Britain, France, and Portugal. Now our ports have been blocked and we are surrounded by enemies on three sides. If we continue to fight, I am afraid our life will be even more difficult."
Isabella said helplessly.
"Should we regret that we should not have signed an alliance agreement with the Ming Dynasty? Such a vast land in Golden Continent is now all at an advantage to the Ming Dynasty. I heard that last year alone, the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire offered tribute to The combined value of gold and silver in the Ming Empire exceeds fifty million taels!"
"We arrived in America earlier than the Ming Dynasty, but in the end we took advantage of the Ming Dynasty."
"Not signing the agreement will have little impact on the people of Ming Dynasty. Didn't the news come back not long ago?"
"The Ming Empire has conducted a national census. They have a huge population of 1.5 billion, plus the vast land. Even if they are unable to occupy the Americas for a while, this America will belong to the Ming Empire sooner or later."
¡°They can immigrate millions of people to America in one year, can we?¡±
"We can't do it. Our combined population in Spain is not as large as the population of the Ming Dynasty's capital. The ships we build in a year are not as many as a shipyard in the Ming Dynasty can build in a month. Our combined steel production in Europe in a year is It¡¯s not as good as the output of a steel factory in Daming in one month.¡±
"The grain they produce this year is enough to feed their 150 million people in the Ming Dynasty for several years, and they produce more than hundreds of millions of pieces of cloth a year."
"Their land area is hundreds or thousands of times that of ours. They can easily organize a huge fleet to come to Europe. This is still not their regular navy."
"They have a huge army of millions, and the navy alone has hundreds of huge main battleships."
"This is the Ming Dynasty. That rich and powerful empire is far beyond what we in Spain can compare with. Even if we do not form an alliance with them, for the Ming Empirebsp;The visitor was very excited and shouted out as he walked away. In the palace, all the Spaniards who heard the news couldn't help laughing in surprise.
"What?"
"The Ming Empire finally joined the war?"
When Fernando and Isabella heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "How many people did the Ming Empire send here?"
"There are fifty-five large warships, with a total strength of more than ten thousand people!"
¡°That¡¯s great~¡±
"Very good!"
When Fernando and Isabella heard this, they hugged each other excitedly. They were desperate just now, and they were thinking about whether to negotiate a peace with the enemy. Now they finally no longer have to worry.
Fifty-five powerful Ming Empire warships arrived at the Port of Cadiz, as well as 10,000 Ming troops. Although it does not sound like a lot in number, there is no doubt about the strength of the Ming Empire Navy. It can be done easily. Destroyed the Portuguese fleet in the Indian Ocean.
