Disrupting the European Pattern
Chapter 769:Disrupting the European Pattern
What Zhang Bin now has to do is to disrupt the pattern of the European continent, so that the powers are entangled in the continent and have no time for him, so that Daming can take advantage of the opportunity to grow and dominate.
Aren’t Portugal offended by the great powers?
Aren’t the great powers trying to divide the interests of the Portuguese colonies to develop their own strength?
He didn’t let the great powers bully Portugal!
He not only had to send a fleet to help Portugal safeguard the interests of the colony, but also opened up to the idea that Portugal would supply a variety of weapons and warships, so that Portugal would slowly become a foreign category on the continent, and obviously their mainland area was not large, but there were countless colonies, obviously their population was not large, but because of the advanced weapons equipped with the Ming Empire, no one dared to provoke!
Aren’t Spain defeated by the anti-Habsburg?
Aren’t the anti-Habsburg powers trying to overwhelm Spain and dominate the continent?
He will not allow the anti-Habsburg powers to defeat Spain!
He not only sent Fuguang army elite to help Spain hold Zaragoza, but also sold muskets and artillery to Spain, so that they could organize a powerful army to fight the anti-Habsburg alliance.
Although the Spanish national strength was not enough to reverse the anti-Habsburg alliance, with their own muskets and artillery, they could absolutely fight the anti-Habsburg alliance, and the forced anti-Habsburg alliance had to unite and fight them all on land, otherwise France, which was caught between Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, would absolutely be finished.
France will certainly not be willing to perish, they will certainly go everywhere for help, and the other powers of the anti-Habsburg alliance will have to help France resist the Spanish attack, because France is the backbone of the anti-Habsburg alliance, and if it is finished, the anti-Habsburg alliance is basically over.
The Netherlands is also very important.
The anti-Habsburg alliance can not fight with Spain forever, to a certain extent, they will certainly open peace talks, after all, no one is a fool, originally in order to compete for the European hegemony and open, if you fight to the end of their own, it is brain disease.
Once the two sides truce, Britain and France will attack the Dutch idea, because on land they can not do Spain, they can only find a way to seek benefits at sea, and the Netherlands, a small country of projectiles, is the most powerful country in the European sea, can they tolerate it?
Britain and France certainly could not tolerate the continued strength of the Netherlands, and they would certainly go to war with the Netherlands under various pretexts, and by that time the strength of the Dutch mainland was quite important.
Zhang Bin saw that Jockman had begun to frown and meditate, and hurriedly beat the railway: "Mr. Speaker, you think, you are now not only more colonized than England and France, but also more merchant ships than English and French, and almost all the business in Europe and the Far East and the Americas has been monopolized by you.
Jockman knew that this was definitely not alarmist, once the great powers such as England and France broke out of their strength, it was quite terrible, like this war against Spain, France broke out more than 200,000 troops in less than ten years, if they Netherlands, even if they did not explode so many armies in a hundred years, once the British and French Armistice, they Netherlands not only face the threat of Britain and France, but also face the threat of Spain!
These three big countries are not vegetarian, they can not let the Netherlands hold the wealth of the mainland half, no money, they will start to steal, this needless to doubt, because now the European continent is popular is the logic of robbers.
It seems that the Netherlands is inevitably going to encounter the previous crisis in Portugal!
Thinking of this, Jockman said, "Your Royal Highness, what you say may make sense, but what can we do?"Even if we don't rob overseas colonies, they will blinds us to the interests of our trade."
This product finally wanted to understand, Zhang Bin sincerely suggested: "So, I let you return most of the colonies to Portugal is for you, so that you can transfer most of the troops back to the country, when you will build more magistons and forts in important ports, even if Britain and France are strong, what can you do with you?"
Jockman laughed bitterly: "They may not be able to take us as a country, but they are different from uniting, and with their strength, as long as two countries are united, we will not use even more bastions and forts."
Zhang Bin heard the words, not from the mysterious smile: "They can unite, you can not find allies?"
Jockman was silent, and soon he said, “Your Royal Highness, you mean, we can make an alliance with your Ming Empire?”
Zhang Bin nodded slowly: "Yes, now you belong to the anti-Habsburg alliance, and our Daming Empire has been allied with Portugal and Spain, so you can't ally with us, but once the anti-Habsburg alliance and Spain truce, your alliance will be dissolved, then they will join forces to bully you, you can find our Daming Empire to help, we Daming Empire will not be able to actually bully the weak."
Jockman then thought about it and thought about it carefully: “Really?We were so unhappy in the riots of Formosa and Batavia, would you still come and help us?”
Zhang Bin said: "There is no eternal enemy between countries, Britain and France have fought a deadly enemy for hundreds of years, and in the face of the rise of the Habsburgs, they have not yet come together."What is that little friction between us?”
Jockman said, "Your Royal Highness the Duke has a point, but I can't take charge of such a big thing as the return of the colony, or I will go back to our governor-general and other members of parliament to negotiate and sign the agreement."Don't worry, I'll do my best to persuade them when I get back."
Zhang Bin heard the words and nodded without hesitation: "Well, I will send you back, I hope you can reach a consensus as soon as possible."
Jokman hurriedly sat down in Zhang Bin's arranged light iron-armed ship back, and on the dock, João IV looked at the fleet that was rapidly going away, and was not worried: "Your Royal Highness, will they promise to return all the colonies?"
Zhang Bin confidently said: "Yes, they know their own ability, but also know how many benefits they have gained, even if they seize more colonies, it is not fake."
Sure enough, a few days later, Jockman returned to Lisbon in a light iron-armed ship, and he did not hesitate to sign a non-aggression pact with Portugal directly, and even volunteered to go to the Far East with Zhang Bin to handle the transfer of the colony.
Zhang Bin naturally agreed, at this point, the European pattern was almost completely changed by him, the Portuguese colonial empire was retained by him, Spain will continue to dominate the European continent, and the Netherlands also secretly began to be close to Daming, as for the two traditional European powers of Britain and France, they are afraid that they have no chance to rise!
