Chapter 794 Carve up the world
His biggest headache now is his arch-enemy Spain.As long as there is a chance to hit Spain and give him a chance to breathe, he will never miss it.

After hearing this, Anders said with a provocative expression: "Your Highness, the reason why Spain has always been so strong, even after launching so many wars, is that they are still strong, as if they have endless money in Spain. If we can Cutting off Spain's financial resources, wouldn't that mean greatly weakening Spain's strength?"

After hearing this, King Joao IV nodded and said: "Yes, the Spanish treasure fleet brings them countless wealth every year. However, the strength of our fleet cannot beat Spain at all. Even with the help of the Ming Kingdom, at most Isn't it just cutting off their Luzon!"

"Your Highness, haven't you already mentioned the Jumbo Fleet?" Anders heard this, and quickly explained, "It is too far for the Ming Fleet to come to our Europe, but if the Ming Fleet goes to the American continent, the root of the Jumbo Fleet will be broken." , but there is no problem!"

After hearing this, King Joao IV was surprised for a while, and then asked with some doubts: "Is this... okay?"

Anders looked around and found a world map hanging on the wall, so he walked quickly over, patted the American continent with his hand, turned to Joao IV and said, "Your Highness, please take a look. New Spain is here, separated from the Ming Empire by just the Pacific Ocean. This is the Japanese Kingdom. If nothing unexpected happens, it will also become part of the Ming Kingdom in the next two years. Maybe it is already part of the Ming Kingdom. So the Ming Dynasty Starting from here, the empire is much closer than coming to Europe."

Speaking of this, he drew a part of North America, Mexico and other Central America, and South American Peru and other Spanish colonies, and then said to Joao IV who had already walked over: "The Ming Empire has many people and many warships. We told the Ming Kingdom that this place is attractive enough, and once the Emperor of Ming is tempted, I can guarantee with my head that with the strength of Spain, it will definitely not be able to stop the Ming army's offensive!"

Seeing Joao IV's eyes brighten, Anders continued to bewitch: "Your Highness, just imagine, if Spain today did not have the wealth from the American continent, would they still be so powerful?"

Joao IV stared at the map, his brain turned sharply, and he remembered what Anders said.

First use these goods from the Ming Empire to win over France and other countries, and let them do their best to keep Spain from attacking Portugal. Then as long as it continues until Spain's financial resources are cut off, Spain will no longer be such a powerful Spain up!

Thinking of this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

When Anders saw it, he quickly said: "Your Highness, we are brothers with the Ming Empire. We are an alliance in attack and defense. Later, we can attack New Spain with the army of the Ming Empire. When the time comes, make an appointment with the Ming Army first. It belongs to us, and the other places are given to the Ming Dynasty. In this way, this part of South America belongs to us Portugal! In this way, we Portugal can also take the road of Spain's rise again!"

When King Joao IV heard this, he couldn't help but took two steps forward, and also reached the map, stretched out his hand and said: "It's better to occupy this place, isn't it the best!"

Anders took a closer look and saw that the place he was planning was the Gulf of Mexico and Central America, so he shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this is the richest place, but if you don't give Ming a big bait, Will they cross the Pacific Ocean to attack Spain? There must be enough benefits!"

"Oh!" Joao IV responded with a bit of regret after hearing this.Staring at the American continent, he slowly retracted it after a while, looked at Anders and said, "If you say that the place is given to the Ming country, can you tell the emperor of the Ming country to attack Spain across the sea?"

"I'm sure!" Anders said with confidence after hearing this, "If there is no benefit, it's too late. The so-called brotherly state and offensive and defensive alliance are just the foundation. Only by giving enough benefits to the Ming country can this great empire in the Far East be restored." Work hard for us Portugal!"

Having said this, he pointed to Colombo and said: "The same principle applies here. Using benefits to attract the Ming army to expand westward can give Portugal enough support."

When King Joao IV heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "What benefits can this place bring to the Ming Kingdom? Colombo is our stopover to the east, so we can't lose it!"

Anders had obviously thought about it, and immediately replied after hearing it: "Ming Kingdom doesn't know much about the West, but we are familiar with it, so we can exchange it. You can tell Ming Kingdom about the richness of Arab countries. , the prosperity of the Persian Empire, and the glory of the Roman Empire, etc., I think the emperor of the Ming Empire is quite ambitious, so he must be interested."

Joao IV listened, blinked his eyes, and asked questions about the map, and Anders would answer according to the situation of the Ming Kingdom.This gave the fleet commander an illusion: it was as if Portugal and the Ming Empire were dividing up the world against the world map!
After a long time, King Joao IV finished his discussion with Anders, then stroked the beard of his chin, walked slowly to his seat and sat down, still thinking.

Anders and the admiral of the fleet looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and turned back to watch their king make a decision.

Hearing bursts of cheers from outside, King Joao IV suddenly slapped the table, his eyes lit up, and he said firmly, "Okay, then do it like this!"

Obviously, he agreed with Anders' proposal and decided to partner with the Ming Empire in the Far East to pit the world!

Anders was of course very happy to see that King Joao IV accepted his suggestion.However, no matter how happy he was, he did not forget to remind Joao IV: "Your Highness, all of this is our own plan now, and we still need to carefully discuss how to impress the emperor of the Ming Empire."

"Hmm!" King Joao IV nodded without hesitation and said, "You are the most familiar with the East, so it's up to you to tell me what we should do to make the emperor of the Ming Empire happy and make them like us. Would you like to send troops to the world?"

Of course, Anders has a draft. In addition to what he said to Joao IV before, he added: "For the request made by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, we must do it seriously, including from South America. Some of them, etc., must try their best to meet the requirements of the Ming Emperor..."

After the discussion, King Joao IV summoned his confidant ministers to discuss again, and described to them the future world: the Ming Empire and the Portuguese Empire each dominate one side.Europe will be Portugal's Europe in the future!Today's European powers are so ignorant of Portugal, and one day in the future, they will all come to Lisbon to beg!
To be honest, in the past two years, since Portugal became independent, they begged grandpa to sue grandma, but they ignored them at all, and even used Portugal as a bargaining chip in negotiations.This made the Portuguese very aggrieved. They were all excited when they heard that they might surpass a big country like France in the future.

So, just like that, they secretly discussed the division of labor.

Some, as representatives of Portugal, brought special products from the Ming Empire to European countries to lobby for help; The representative will set off to the Far East to meet the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and lobby the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to realize his plan to carve up the world.

If the original historical development is followed, Portugal is actually safe and sound, and has not been attacked by Spain on a large scale.Because at this time, there was civil strife in France, and the rebellion involved borrowing troops from Spain to start a fight with the French royal family, which restrained Spain's energy.

And on this plane, because Portugal suddenly appeared on the political stage with oriental property, it immediately injected new elements into Europe that had just calmed down.

The civil strife in France at this time was known as the Fronde movement in history.

Empress Dowager Anna of Austria and her favorite cardinal, Prime Minister Mazarin, owed debts to meet the expenses of the 30-year war and caused conflicts with the French nobility.The famous French general Prince Condé tried to seize Mazarin's power but was thrown into prison, triggering civil strife involving the Spanish army.

Originally, Anna and Mazarin of Austria were afraid of the strength of the rebels and did not dare to let go. They even had to release Prince Condé under pressure.However, due to the intervention of the Portuguese, they received a large amount of property, which gave them the confidence to forcibly suppress the rebel rebellion.

Compared with history, the determination of the French royal family to suppress the rebels on this plane is much greater. As a result, the scale and duration of the war have also increased accordingly, and Spain has been more deeply involved than it should have been in the original history. French civil unrest.

…………

Emperor Chongzhen was far away in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but he learned about the latest situation in Europe through the Class A bugging seeds on Anders.At this time, he was really thankful that he didn't kill Anders in Annan, otherwise, he would have lost a very qualified leader.

To be honest, Daming really didn't know much about North and South America and the regions west of the Atlantic Ocean.If you explore alone, it is unknown whether the generation of Emperor Chongzhen can achieve results.

However, once Portugal becomes the leading party of Ming Dynasty, whether it is an expedition to North and South America, or a western expedition to Europe and Africa, the time will be greatly shortened. At least the hydrology, climate, local customs, division of forces, etc. Can save a lot of effort.

Emperor Chongzhen made a calculation in his mind. Before that, he thought that the overpopulation of Daming caused a food crisis.But now, after expanding the territory one after another, the population is not too much, but too little.After all, if a place is conquered, if large-scale immigration is not arranged to assimilate the local people, it will be very detrimental to the rule of Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help shouting in his heart: fellow men of Ming Dynasty, come on!
