- Although Europe experienced a series of changes during this period.
And, because of the intervention of Jenny and the others, a little change has occurred. This has led to history slipping towards an unpredictable end.
However, in the end, the situation in Europe finally began to develop again in a way that was acceptable to the empire.
Originally, the military groups on the Portuguese and French sides and the church had a truce, which made the empire very angry.
However, the empire cannot and cannot do anything.
You must know that peace is coming to the European continent, which is what the empire least wants to see.
Fortunately, after a series of emergencies, the military groups of Portugal, France and the church started a war again.
At the same time, due to Jenny¡¯s confusing assassination, the French and the church also dispatched a large number of assassins and killers, resulting in assassination attacks on some high-level important figures on both sides.
Therefore, now there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties.
This war will not end until one side is completely defeated.
Well, this result is still very satisfactory to the empire.
It is best to fight for more than ten years, so that the empire has a large period of stability to develop itself.
And the countries on the European continent that were caught in the flames of war no longer have to worry about other aspects, right?
hey-hey!
When the chaos and disputes here in Europe end, European countries will miss the best period. By that time, the Empire must have had the power to control the entire ocean.
As for the Europeans wanting to dominate the oceans and then become maritime hegemons as in normal history, it is basically impossible.
According to the overall thinking of the empire, the plan is like this.
This information was sent back to the Americas half a year later, finally letting Zhang Tie, who was in charge of the Americas, breathe a sigh of relief.
He is most afraid that Portugal and France will reach an agreement with the church military group, and the war will suddenly cease.
Because if the European countries cease the war, then they will definitely focus their attention and energy on developing maritime strength. This is a situation that the empire does not want to have.
Now I feel more at ease.
The war continues to reignite, doesn¡¯t it?
hey-hey!
Even if the war ends, Europeans will not have the extra energy to stare at the ocean.
Because as long as this war lasts for more than ten years, the European economy will completely collapse. Therefore, even after the war ends, European countries will still need more than ten years to develop and stabilize their domestic economies and collapsed political systems.
By the time all the countries have stabilized, the empire will have long stood on the sea and become the overlord.
By that time, the empire has nothing to worry about.
Because there is a master like Zhao Hongyu, under the influence of cheats, the empire can develop very rapidly.
This speed of development is beyond the imagination of European countries.
However, after receiving intelligence information from the European Intelligence Department. Zhang Tie was also a little stunned by the fact that little Louis XIII died in an assassination.
After all, the death of little Louis XIII should be due to the butterfly effect.
Otherwise, this poor little boy would not have died so early.
You know, he left a famous figure in another time and space.
But now in this time and space, the poor little boy has withered away early.
but. What does this have to do with myself?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????As long as the death of little Louis XIII will not affect the development of the empire, it will be fine.
So, after a brief period of surprise. Zhang Tie then forgot about this matter.
He doesn¡¯t care about little Louis XIII¡¯s life or death¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
North Africa, Egypt, Alexandria.
The war in Europe also had a great impact on the countries that connected the two continents during this period.
Because of the war, Alexandria¡¯s trade suffered great fluctuations.
Once upon a time. In Alexandria, hundreds of merchant ships from various countries are docked every day.
But now, the port of Alexandria. In addition to the warships from the Ottoman Empire, there were only a few merchant ships.
It can be seen how great the impact of war on trade and commerce.
The reduction of merchant ships due to the war also greatly reduced Egypt's tax revenue.
But what can Egypt do about this?
After all, the Egyptians cannot control the European wars.
Besides, Egypt today is still under the control of the Ottoman Empire and is a vassal state.
Therefore, the Egyptians were able to let Alexandria become depressed.
Throughout history, since the rise of the Roman Empire, the Egyptians have continuously declined and become a vassal state of Europeans.
The Romans, the Macedonians, the Persians, and now the Ottomans.
It can be said that the Egyptians are completely "little subjects", constantly being played and controlled by those strong "tyrants".
But the Egyptians could not resist this.
Although in early history, the Egyptians also had glory.
However, ever since the Egyptians became ¡®little sufferers¡¯, they have been in trouble.
The factors leading to this situation are very complicated and cannot be described in one sentence.
In short, the Egyptians are completely finished.
Although there is still a royal family in Egypt, they are just puppets.
To put it bluntly, they will say whatever the Ottomans ask them to say. If they don't obeythen there is no need to think about their fate.
The choice between survival and death is an easy one for the Egyptian royal family.
After all, as long as they are obedient, they can live a much more generous life than ordinary people. They don't have to live a miserable life like ordinary people who have to run around every day.
Therefore, the Egyptian royal family was very obedient, which made the Ottomans very satisfied.
Since they are obedient and honest, the Ottomans don¡¯t mind giving some benefits to the Egyptian royal family to make their lives more comfortable.
This is a reward, isn't it?
Of course, the rewards given by the Ottomans to the Egyptian royal family are similar to the rewards given to pets by rich people.
But even so, the Egyptian royal family could not be more grateful.
Zhao Hongyu came to Egypt more than two years ago. He also reached an agreement with the Egyptian royal family and rented a large piece of wasteland near the port of Alexandria to build a concession.
Therefore, the empire also has a base here in Egypt.
Like the concessions in Lisbon and Marseille, intelligence agencies were also established in the imperial concessions in Egypt.
Therefore, it can be said that the empire¡¯s intelligence agency has a very clear grasp of the information about the Egyptian royal family.
Even for some special reasons, the empire also has a lot of intelligence information on the Ottoman Empire.
After all, the Egyptian royal family is relatively familiar with the Ottomans, so the intelligence agents here in the Egyptian concession. As long as you spend a few gold coins, you can get useful information from the Egyptian royal family.
¡°Besides, idiots like the Egyptian royal family don¡¯t know how to keep things secret.
And the imperial intelligence agents here in Egypt are generous, so the Egyptian royal family likes to deal with the imperial people very much.
The reason is simple, because it has benefits.
But the so-called benefits of the Egyptian royal family are just a few dozen gold coins or some small commodities that are not available.
This is not worth a few bucks at all.
But it is a pity that although the Egyptian royal family has such a great reputation. But they are out-and-out country bumpkins.
Therefore, they quickly became brothers with the imperial intelligence agents.
Thirteen incense from the Song Empire in America is a very precious and popular commodity in Egypt and even Arab countries.
One or two of the thirteen incense. It can be sold for very high prices in the Arab world, not to mention those snow-white sugar and refined salt.
Moreover, the improved black tea is also very popular in the Arab world.
To know. Arabs¡¯ daily eating and drinking are inseparable from meat.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are also various spices, which are good things for them.
However, eating too much meat is always bad for the stomach and intestines.
Therefore, black tea, which can have a protective effect on the stomach and intestines, immediately flowed onto the dining tables of Arab nobles.
Compared to the Arab sheikhs who were still poor during this period, most of the goods sold by the Song Empire were purchased by the Ottomans.
It can be said that the emperor¡¯s concession in Egypt is for sale.?Commodities, two-thirds of which were sold to the Ottomans.
And the Ottomans purchased so many goods, except for half of them, the other half were trafficked to Northern Europe and Russia by Ottoman merchants.
The price sold to Northern Europe can be said to be several times higher than the price they paid for it.
But even so, the goods are still in short supply.
There is no other way, the empire¡¯s products are too good.
Of course, the empire is not just about selling food seasonings. Although these are profitable, they are not mainstream.
Therefore, you want to make big money and make stable big money. Then, we need to slowly cultivate the living habits of the local people. As long as we can succeed, then this is the most profitable business.
For example, when the empire first began, toothpaste and toothbrushes were distributed free of charge in Egypt for locals to use.
At the same time, daily necessities such as washing powder, body wash, and shampoo are also often distributed free of charge.
This method was first used in Lisbon, and the effect was quite good.
As long as people use these products, they will all find that they will be greatly changed.
For example, the odor in the mouth is gone, the clothes are washed cleaner, and the hair is no longer so greasy and becomes smooth Therefore, the living habits of the locals have been quietly changed without even realizing it.
At the same time, the commercial department of the Egyptian Concession has cultivated a large number of potential customers.
As for whether these products will make money, that is something that you don¡¯t have to think about at all.
You can make washing powder, shampoo and shower gel at any copycat workshop in the virtual world, and the price is very cheap.
Although the effect after using it is worse than the original one, it is very powerful in this era.
As for selling fake and inferior products from unlicensed black workshops, the Imperial Ministry of Commerce and even Zhao Hongyu have no psychological burden Why should they (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
