Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Hongyu has been in this time and space for three years. Time is advancing slowly but surely, and 1623 is coming soon.

    Because a little butterfly came to this time and space, the original historical process has changed.

    Chaotic Europe, because it has learned the advanced tactics of America, has begun to train musketeers in large numbers, and uses five-stage firing line tactics in battle.

    In the original history, as well as in the history of another time and space, such a fighting method was impossible.  But because of the joy of a little butterfly, this strategy appeared in advance in this time and space.

    Of course, because in Europe of this era, various crafts were still too backward, the muskets made by various countries could not be compared with the muskets of the Song Empire.

    The Song Empire¡¯s sophisticated muskets can be said to be the best in the world.

    Europeans still used matchlock guns, and they also began to develop flintlock guns.

    But the flintlock guns of the Song Empire have been equipped with all the troops.

    At the same time, the strictly quantitative paper gunpowder also added advantages to combat.

    Because the secret of paper-based quantitative gunpowder is well protected, Europeans have not yet discovered the benefits of this aspect.

    Therefore, if Europeans want to have such infantry means, they still have a long way to go.

    The chaos and war in Europe led to large numbers of bankrupts and refugees. Homeless and displaced people began to use various means to board ocean-going merchant ships in the hope of coming to America to find a new life.

    However, there are only a few people who can successfully come to America.

    Most people can only stay in Europe, a continent that is already full of war and death, and continue to live their lives in darkness with no future in sight.

    And the war in Europe.  It also affected the Arab world and even the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

    Taking advantage of the endless melee among European countries, the Ottoman Turkish Empire began to fight for the Mediterranean with all its strength, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity of the melee among European countries to establish hegemony in the Mediterranean and control it in its own hands.

    To know.  If the Ottoman Turkish Empire wanted to get out of the Mediterranean and at the same time start the prosperity of its own maritime trade, it must have a say in the Mediterranean area.

    As a high-level leader of the Ottoman Empire, it is impossible not to see this.

    However, the Mediterranean has always been controlled by Europeans, and no country will give the Ottoman Empire a chance at all.

    But it¡¯s different now.

    Countries in Europe were involved in disputes between Protestantism and the church.  At the same time, a series of battles started.

    Therefore, it is simply impossible for Europeans to focus their energy on the sea.

    So, now is a good opportunity for the Ottoman Empire, it depends on whether they can seize it.

    Portugal and France are allies of the Americas, and they have always received support from the Americas.  Therefore, the two countries can confront the church coalition forces without any worries.

    All countries were shocked by the various food supplies and the support provided by the American Song Empire in silver coins.

    In fact, how did they know that these materials and silver coins were all earned by the American Song Empire from the Europeans through trade? Strictly speaking, they earned the Europeans' own money.

    In other words, the American Song Empire itself did not pay a penny at all.

    And the assistance given to them was just a drop in the bucket for the American Song Empire.

    The gold earned from Europe.  In fact, they were all sold through the virtual trading period.

    The profits are so huge that it¡¯s unimaginable.

    The remaining silver is not worth much, so it is better to provide new support to Portugal and France. After all, Portugal and France have to pay interest for borrowing money, which is worse than piling it in the treasury of the Americas.

    As for whether Portugal and France will default on their debts, this has never been an issue that the empire's top officials need to worry about and consider.

    If you can¡¯t pay back the money, just use land to pay it back.

    If you want to default on your debt, wouldn't it mean giving the Song Empire an opportunity to invade?

    Could it be that the troops in the Song Empire were just decorations?

    In today¡¯s European continent, there are more and more goods from the American Song Empire, and the prices are getting cheaper and cheaper.

    Especially daily necessities.  It is also flooding the European continent and the Arab world.

    Of course, there are also high-end and expensive products, but now it is obvious that they are not the main products promoted by the Song Empire.

    After all, the market for expensive goods is small.

    Can bring great benefits to the Song Empire??Big profits, and products that can sustain profits.  In fact, there are only those commodities that are consumed every day and that people use every day.

    For example, seasonings, various soy sauces, vinegars, and household products such as shampoo and shower gel are now the main source of profits for the Song Empire.

    Because people need to use it every day, this kind of business can last for a long time.

    What¡¯s more, these products are now only monopolized by the Song Empire.

    As you can imagine, the huge profits from monopoly are huge.

    ¡°Besides, there is no monopoly law these days.

    Therefore, the umbrella company of the Song Empire can completely monopolize business for two hundred years with peace of mind and earn global wealth during these two hundred years.

    In fact, in the early days, it was not profitable to trade daily products with Europe.

    The reason is very simple, because Europeans are very dirty and they don¡¯t pay attention to personal hygiene at all.

    " However, such a small difficulty is not a problem at all for the people of the American Song Empire.

    Because they have modern knowledge and ideas, they know that since Europeans do not have such convenient needs, they should cultivate them to have such needs.

    Good markets are actually cultivated, right?

    This concept is extremely common in later generations or the modern world, but in this seventeenth century it was absolutely advanced.

    In the early days, some products of the Song Empire were given to Europeans for free use.

    This process is still ongoing.

    When Europeans knew the benefits of these products and became accustomed to this kind of goods and the convenience that the goods brought to them, the Song Empire began to ask for money.

    Fortunately, the prices of these daily necessities are not high and Europeans can still afford them.

    so.  The Song Empire finally cultivated the market and began to make huge profits.

    And these products sold to Europe and even the Arab world are all fake goods.

    Anyway, Europeans in this era will not see any flaws.

    How do they know what a fake product is?

    Haifeifei shampoo and Sakurako shower gel are extremely representative.

    Dali Chicken Essence.  Zhongliang Group's edible salt, golden cage cooking oil, Kangshuai Fu instant noodles, Sanlu milk powder have already opened up the European market.

    ¡°These things would definitely be a scam in modern times.

    But in this era, they have all turned into high-end products.  The flagship product of the American Song Empire.

    ??And everyone doesn¡¯t know that these products have been popular for hundreds of years in this era and remain popular for a long time.

    Even when countries in this time and space have entered the modern era, these products are still popular, and the consumer market is huge.  Of course, the people who consume these products are basically Europeansbecause they are nostalgic.

    There are also some scholars and experts.  The secrets and shoddy nature of these products were discovered, but when they were announced, no one wanted to believe them.

    You know, these products have been popular for hundreds of years.

    So, when the counterfeiting is discovered, of course we have to find a few scapegoats for the cost.

    Fortunately, there are many European businessmen who are making counterfeit goods, so scapegoats are easy to find.

    Things like this that will happen in the future are completely beyond the imagination of people today.

    after all.  That was hundreds of years later.

    Because of the war, the economy in Europe began to decline, but the warring parties were still gritting their teeth and persisting.

    Because of the assistance from the American Song Empire, Portugal and France were living reasonably well.

    On the other hand, looking back at the coalition forces of the church princes, their days were not so good.

    However, at this critical moment, the iron rooster-like church also opened its own treasure house and took out the accumulated wealth and handed it over to the coalition of church princes to support the war.

    It is precisely because of this money that the church princes have been able to support themselves until now.

    Otherwise.  They have long since collapsed because of the economy.

    In fact, the church leaders also understand that when the war has reached this point, both sides have no way out.

    Only after one party falls can everyone have a way to survive.

    In this situation, it depends on who can support it for a longer period of time.

    And during this time.  The church and the Protestant parties contacted each other one after another and launched a series of secret negotiations.

    Negotiations between the two partiesNo one knows the content, but the end result is historically biased.

    In normal history, Protestantism and the church have always been at odds with each other, and the two sides fought for thirty years, known as the Thirty Years War.  At the same time, through this war, the Netherlands became independent and became the Netherlands, beginning the glory of the Dutch sea coachmen.

    But now, due to the rise of the evil Song Empire in America, the British, French, Dutch and Spanish strongholds in America have all been wiped out by the Song Empire.

    But it can be said that the Europeans in the Americas are no longer qualified to compete.

    The French did not quarrel with America and became allies.

    Spain has been destroyed by Portugal and France and disappeared in the long history of this time and space.

    The British and the Dutch were not interested in the American Song Empire, and even hated it.

    Therefore, the Dutch, as the main force of the Protestant coalition, were very interested in the church's proposals.

    That is, the two sides put aside their disputes, jointly solved the problem between Portugal and France, and then aimed directly at the American Song Empire.  As long as the Song Empire can be defeated, the wealth of the Song Empire will be equally divided among everyone.

    The Protestant coalition is still very interested in the church's proposal.

    It¡¯s just that the two parties haven¡¯t formally joined together because they haven¡¯t negotiated some details yet.

    Once the two sides reach an agreement, the pressure on Portugal and France will increase.

    At the same time, this period of history will once again take a fork in the road.

    After all, the little butterfly keeps flapping its wings, how can history not be changed (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation  .Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
