    The sun never sets on the British Empire, which is indeed very powerful. It ruled for three centuries from the end of the seventeenth century to the nineteenth century. In three hundred years, it ruled a large area of ??colonies from a small island nation.

    Throughout the history of the world, that is the only one.

    However, the British Empire did not fall in the end, and the American Empire rose next.

    "The United Kingdom has become the dog leg of the United States.

    ¡°In the era that Zhao Hongyu lives in, the United States no longer has to think about it.

    As long as the Song Empire exists on the American continent, the United States will never appear.

    At this time, Britain was still a country struggling to become stronger and stronger.

    Far from being as powerful as it was at the end of the century.

    Not to mention, the British at this time could not even compare with the Dutch.

    "At the very least, now the sea coachman has begun to show his formidable side.

    The Netherlands is now the country with the most ships in the world. Its merchant ships can reach Macau (the trench) in the far east and Manhattan in the Americas in the west, not to mention the Mediterranean.

    It¡¯s just that now the Dutch people¡¯s energy has been dragged down by the war in the Netherlands.

    According to the original history, as long as the Thirty Years War is over, by the middle of the century, the Dutch will dominate the ocean for decades.

    It was not over until the British finally killed it.

    The British method of plotting against the Dutch was very simple, that is, to win over European countries and unite these countries to boycott the Dutch.

    ??If these countries stand alone, their power is very small.

    But together, it will be very huge.

    Especially the roots of the Dutch are in Europe, so the Dutch were played to death by the British.

    Ports are constantly being attacked, and merchant ships at sea are constantly being plundered by pirates, resulting in loss of merchandise and economic losses.

    All this has ruined the Dutch people.

    "The British took advantage of the European countries to make a fortune while quietly integrating their naval forces.

    When the Dutch and other European countries were exhausted from fighting, the British turned around and came on stage.  Make all countries honest.

    In the end, the sweetest fruit was picked by the British.

    It has to be said that the British are really good at conspiracy.

    And this strategy has always been the key point of his government's policy, even in later generations.

    It¡¯s just that this method of the British was finally known to everyone in later generations, so they gradually became less popular.

    How could Zhao Hongyu, who came from a later generation, not know this clearly?

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it, in the summer?  The British, who suffered a loss last year, started to make small moves and built hundreds of pirate ships to cause trouble for Manhattan.

    Fortunately, Manhattan was well prepared and relied on powerful plug-ins to survive this crisis.

    If it were an ordinary country, it would definitely not end well.

    You know, the combined fleet composed of hundreds of pirate ships can basically sweep across the Mediterranean colonies or large ports in Europe.

    And it¡¯s not like pirates have never done this before.

    In this era, pirate attacks on ports are nothing new.

    Because after capturing the port.  Pirates could plunder more finances.

    Considering the fact that you can make a fortune, it¡¯s no wonder that pirates flock to it.

    It¡¯s just a pity that this time the pirates encountered the perverted Song Empire and were beaten to their knees.

    And the organizer of the Pirates United.  Blackbeard Jack, was blamed by the other pirates for his failure and banded together to defeat him.

    In the end, it fell into the hands of the Manhattan intelligence agency.

    therefore.  The Intelligence Department learned all the truth and the British's plans from the mouth of Blackbeard Jack.

    It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hongyu decided to launch an attack on the British colonies immediately.  Tooth for tooth, blood for blood.

    As for the reason for the war, Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t even bother to look for it.

    Since I have big fists, I will take over the British colonies first.

    By then, it won¡¯t matter even if the British are popular.

    Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t care at all about nonsense like ¡®serious protest, reservation of rights¡¯ and so on.

    "Anyway, if you British people are no match, then use cannons and troops to take it back."

    If you don¡¯t go back then, Zhao Hongyu won't care if he just talks.

    "Recently, all the British merchant ships have been seized by us. These Galen ships have all been used as our warships. It must be painful for the British to think about it."

    Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu in a bad way.

    As soon as the war started, many British businessmen did not know that the Song Empire had started a war with Britain, but they continued to come to Manhattan.

    With the idea of ??being a bad guy and being bad to the end, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie worked together to seize all the British ships and use them as warships when they were preparing to enter the Caribbean.

    As for those British businessmen who are crying and wiping away their tears, Wang Shan will not care about their thoughts.

    "It doesn't matter honestly. Anyone who dares to explode will be thrown into the prison camp to build roads."

    In this way, a large number of British merchants who had no merchant ships and could not return to Europe were stranded in America.

    "For the sake of public security, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie built a concentration camp specifically for these British people and locked them in it.

    ¡°In Wang Shan¡¯s words, if you, the British royal family, are engaged in conspiracy and actually cooperated with pirates to attack Manhattan, then we will not be polite to you either.

    ¡°Subsequently, Wang Shan announced the information held by the Intelligence Department to the outside world.

    At this point, everyone knows why the Song Empire treated the British like this.

    Originally, everyone still didn¡¯t quite believe the news announced by the Song Empire.

    "However, I couldn't stand up to the bad guy Wang Shan, so Blackbeard Jack and some people who knew the truth came forward to tell everyone the truth.

    So, gradually everyone understood.

    "If the British are unlucky, let them be unlucky. Who told them to be cheap?"

    You have to do little tricks behind your back, now you know how powerful it is.

    "Anyway, if you are a dead Taoist friend and not a poor Taoist, let the Song Empire go get the British."

    This was the thinking of the European businessmen who came to Manhattan to do business.

    Because of underdeveloped communications, British merchant ships continued to come to Manhattan.

    "As for these British ships, as long as they come to Manhattan, they are basically meat buns and dogs, and they will never come back.

    therefore.  In a short period of time, the British lost a lot of sea power.

    When the British royal family received letters from the American colonies and learned about what was happening in the Americas, the British colonies had already fallen into the hands of the Song Empire.

    At the same time, hundreds of merchant ships were detained in Manhattan and confiscated, which also made the British spit out a mouthful of blood.

    You must know that the maritime power that the British now possess was accumulated over more than fifty years.

    It's better now. The American Song Empire just used some tricks, and 40% of its maritime power became someone else's.

    ¡°It is false to say that the British are not suffering.

    But the problem is.  The British themselves knew what a disgraceful role they played in the pirate attacks in the Americas during the summer.

    Therefore, now that they have been retaliated by the Song Empire, they can only knock out their front teeth and swallow them. There is nothing to say.

    Although they also want to quibble, the problem is that Blackbeard Jack was captured by the people of the Song Empire.

    At the same time, Blackbeard Jack¡¯s confidant.  As well as some people who know the truth of the matter, they are all in the hands of the Song Empire.

    Therefore, even if the British want to quibble, it will be very difficult.

    In short.  The British will definitely suffer this loss.

    "Hehe", Zhao Hongyu smiled: "Who do the British think they are? They still want to play this trick with us. You must know that we are the ancestors of Houhei. Can they beat us?"

    "Your Highness, although we are only targeting the British, the Spanish and Dutch have considerable influence. Now their merchant ships have come very few."

    As the military and political commander of Manhattan, Zhang Tie is now also troubled by the shrinkage of business.

    After all, the majority of businesses in Manhattan are now supported by Spanish and Dutch merchants, as well as British maritime merchants.

    And their plan, in addition to the British, the Spanish and the Dutch, if all three are offended at once, who will come to America to do business in the end.

    Zhang Tie was very worried about this.

    Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu waved his hands indifferently and said: "Without the British, Spanish and Dutch, we will just do business with the French and Swedes. Our products are highly profitable, and there will always be people who are willing to do business."  Do it with us." Zhao Hongyu didn't care about this at all."Moreover, these three maritime powers have weakened against powerful countries. I don't think they have given other countries a chance."

    Zhao Hongyu has his own plan.

    "The French also want to develop maritime power. After the Portuguese uprising is successful, they will also start maritime trade. Sweden has also been focusing its policy on the sea, so the British, Spanish and Dutch are weakened, and the latter three will seize the opportunity  This time, it¡¯s not necessarily possible to rise suddenly.¡±

    ¡°Besides, before we dominate the ocean, don¡¯t you think the powerful forces at sea are too much?¡±

    Zhao Hongyu turned around and said to Zhang Tie seriously.

    Zhang Tie fell silent when he heard this. He was thinking about the meaning of Zhao Hongyu's words.

    When Wang Shan saw Zhang Tie bowing his head in deep thought, he happily said to him: "Brother, don't think so gloomily. Let me tell you the truth. Our Highness's meaning is very clear. The British, Spanish and Dutch  People's maritime power needs to be weakened, and others have to be given a chance. After the maritime power of European countries is balanced, I think they will definitely become very busy, and then they will not have the energy to take care of it.  Now that we are in America, we will have time for peaceful development, right?"

    Hearing what Wang Shan said, Zhang Tie woke up from his deep thoughts.

    Yes, the British¡¯s maritime power has been severely damaged now, and most of the ships are under our control.

    ??And the Spanish are now being attacked by the Portuguese and French, and they will be destroyed in a short time.

    The Dutch were also dragged into the Dutch War.

    It can be said that now is a great opportunity for the Song Empire.

    As long as they grasp it.

    So, in a few years, ruling the entire ocean is definitely not a dream.

    By then, the maritime power of European countries will be very balanced, and there will inevitably be a battle for maritime hegemony for several years.

    For the benefit of the Mediterranean, all European countries will be involved.

    At the same time, many more countries will be added.

    Ottoman Empire, various Arab countries.

    Hehe, what the Song Empire has to do is to stay away from the land of right and wrong and develop itself well.

    After the Europeans decided on the hegemony of the Mediterranean, the Song Empire was not sure what it would develop into.

    Thinking of this, Zhang Tie nodded slowly.

    "In that case, I understand."

    Wang Shan turned to Zhao Hongyu and said: "Your Highness, I will pay close attention to the Intelligence Department and the Navy Department that is preparing, and let them formulate a plan. The British colonies are now in our hands, it is already a certainty  It¡¯s over, we need to plan now and start taking action in the Caribbean.¡±

    When it comes to the Caribbean, that is, the Central American colonies of Spain and the Netherlands, Zhao Hongyu suddenly became interested.

    "Hey, does the intelligence department have any information about the Mediterranean now? The Spanish mainland has been attacked by French and Portuguese rebels. It must be difficult for them."

    Wang Shan smiled and replied: "Your Highness, you guessed it right. The Spaniards could no longer withstand it. So they began to transfer their Mediterranean fleets and legions back to the mainland to fight in large numbers. The same was true for the Dutch. They were in the Netherlands.  The war in the region was also very unfavorable, so we began to mobilize troops from the colonies."

    Hearing what Wang Shan said, Zhao Hongyu suddenly became happy.

    "Haha, what a God-given opportunity. This way, when we seize the Mediterranean, the resistance will be much smaller. Their warships and armies have all been transferred back to the mainland. When our army is gone, hehe"

    Zhao Hongyu raised his hand, stroked his smooth chin and smiled evilly.

    While Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie were discussing these things, the battle in the Maryland area had ended, and the Virginia Army of more than 10,000 people was fleeing in panic.

    Behind them, the Song Empire's army was launching an orderly pursuit.

    Among them, the flag soldiers of the Eight Banners of Song Dynasty were tying the prisoners they captured into a string, and at the same time cutting off the heads of the enemy soldiers they killed.

    You know, to them, these heads are just like silver coins.

    This cannot be wasted.

    Groups of Virginia Army soldiers were captured or fled toward Virginia.

    The imperial soldiers did not pursue quickly. They had no intention of pursuing the enemies who had been defeated by them and began to flee.

      "Let the Eight Banners soldiers pursue them. I guess they like to do this kind of thing. Anyway, they have almost beheaded them now, and they are still cavalry, right?"

    Commander Yuan Xiaoming said with a crooked mouth to his adjutant.
