Chapter 1084 Western European Grand Alliance

After receiving support from the Ming Dynasty, Li Chengdong and Zhang Yida in Dongzhou gradually gained a firm foothold.

Relying on the resources of the Ming Dynasty, the two vassals adopted the strategy of uniting the indigenous people in the East China region, and creatively proposed the concept of the Yin race, treating the indigenous people as descendants of the Shang Dynasty, thereby reducing the contradiction between race and race during the colonization process.

Now, Zhang Yida recovered Jincheng and his power developed southward to directly fight against the Spanish Empire, while Li Chengdong crossed the mountains and entered the Great Lakes region, competing with Britain and France for the central eastern continent and the eastern coast.

The two vassals did not massacre and oppress the natives of the East China like the Western barbarians, but instead transformed the surrendered tribes, solved the chiefs and sacrificial classes of the tribes, liberated the natives of the tribe and organized them into peasants or soldiers.

Now, after receiving a large number of arms assistance from the Ming Dynasty, the two vassals each had nearly 10,000 local soldiers equipped with muskets, and their strength had seriously threatened the colonization of Western countries in the Americas.

London, England, the Duke of Protector Cromwell, has been dead for several years. Now he is Charles II, who returns from exile in the Netherlands, and serves as the king of England.

After Charles II restored the country, Cromwell was liquidated to a certain extent, but because he had just been welcomed to return to China, his foundation was not stable.

Although Charles II wanted to restore the absolute imperial power of his father Charles I, he was still very cautious at this time and did not offend the parliament. Instead, he compromised with the powerful parliament and claimed to protect human rights.

At this time, in the British Parliament, MP Asmith held a piece of intelligence and shouted: "The East India Company's fleet was attacked by the Chinese fleet in the Indian Ocean. The Chinese have seriously threatened the interests of Great Britain in India. His Majesty the King must collect actions and severely punish the Ming people."

"Yes! Britain's colonies in the Americas are also facing the threat of the Chinese, and their power has arrived on the east coast. If Britain does not teach the Ming people a lesson, our interests in India and America will be greatly damaged."

Within the parliament, various members of parliament were filled with righteous indignation and made their own remarks.

Charles II was very calm, "Gentlemen, the intelligence sent back by the East India Company, the Chinese fleet was quite powerful. Their own country's fleet defeated the combined fleets of Great Britain, France, and the Netherlands, and even captured our flagships. In the Americas, the Chinese armed the Indians and attacked our colonies, which also posed a huge threat to us. But I am foresight, from the news I have received, China is a powerful country, and our Great Britain may find it difficult to defeat it."

"His Majesty the King, can you just allow the Chinese to expand in India and America like this? They will hide from our wealth and make Great Britain penniless." The members of the parliament said dissatisfied.

Charles II explained: "I also want to protect British interests in India and drive China out of America, but Britain now has conflicts with the Netherlands, France and Spain, and cannot safeguard British interests overseas in a short period of time."

Asmi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the barbaric expansion of the Chinese people now has not only harmed the interests of Great Britain, but also harmed the interests of France, Spain and the Netherlands. I think the expansion of the Chinese people will be the third yellow peril that threatens Europe after Attila and Mongolian Tatars. Under this threat, Great Britain should adjust the contradictions with France and Spain and jointly deal with the disaster. Whether it is Catholic or Protestantism, they are God's electors, and we must jointly fight the expansion of pagans."

Many members of the House of Representatives suddenly climaxed and supported Asmi's remarks.

Paris, France.

Now the famous Sun King Louis XIV is in power. Under his rule, France concentrated the nobles in Paris and finally gradually realized France's centralization and evolved into a high-energy country.

After realizing centralization, France's strength increased greatly and became one of the most powerful countries on the European continent.

At this time, at the Palace of Verse, France, King Louis XIV was holding a grand ball in the palace. A minister hurried in and found Louis XIV who was drinking. "His Majesty the King, the King of England sent an envoy to invite His Majesty the King to London to discuss resolving the conflict and jointly fight against the Chinese."

Louis XIV is not very interested in this. Compared to confronting China, he is more keen on annexing the West Netherlands.

At present, France is mainly a continental country with few overseas colonies and commercial areas. Apart from having friction with Li Chengdong in the Americas, there is actually no big conflict with China.

Louis XIV picked up the wine glass and said, "We don't have too deep conflicts with the Chinese. Charles wants to deal with the Chinese. If France wants help, he should come to Versailles, instead of letting me go to London to discuss!"

The minister said: "The King of England also invited the Netherlands and Spain to participate in the negotiations. It is said that it is to resolve the conflicts between countries and establish an alliance against China."

Louis XIV heard the words, became interested, took a sip of wine, and said, "If the British king can support France's proposal in the West Netherlands, France will participate in the meeting. If not, then I will not participate in the meeting."

Madrid, the capital of the Spanish Empire.

As an old maritime power, the Spanish Empire gradually weakened after spending his golden age and the God-loving period.

After the end of the Thirty Years' War, the Netherlands was independent, the Spanish Empire's economy collapsed, and prices soared.

Originally, the lean camel was bigger than a horse, and the complete decline of the Spanish Empire would have to wait until after the Great Alliance War initiated by Louis XIV. However, the rise of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have caused the decline of the Spanish Empire to come earlier.

Mr. Ming Jun captured the Philippines, a Spanish colony in the Far East, causing the Spanish America to dig silver. The trade in buying Chinese goods in the Far East was completely interrupted, causing too much silver in the Spanish Empire, soaring prices and economic collapse.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty colonized in Dongzhou, directly threatening the Spanish Governor General District. The colonial authorities suffered consecutive defeats in the war, which also exacerbated the decline of the Spanish Empire.

At this time, when King Louis XIV of France received a note from Britain, Spanish Emperor Carlos II also received a request from Britain.

Compared to the Dharma King, it doesn't matter. It is different from the opportunity to seek benefits. Spain's demand for confrontation with the Ming Dynasty is stronger than that of Britain.

Carlos II immediately expressed his willingness to participate in the British alliance.
