One Emperor through the Ages: Starting from Infinite Copying

Chapter 171

Oss muttered, now knowing to himself that the Kingdom of the Netherlands was the largest colonial empire.

The largest colonial empire does not have as many troops as Daming!

Moreover, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is now a maritime hegemon, despite facing the challenge of the English Empire.

But commercial hegemony has always been in the hands of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The East India Company accounted for more than half of total global trade.

It is now the tenth year of Chongzhen, and although the Kingdom of the Netherlands has become a maritime hegemon, it is also the largest colonial empire.

However, Spain never recognized the independence of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands had been occupied by Spain before, and the War with the Kingdom of Spain had been going on for decades.

The war continues, and Spain has never recognized the independence of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Even the Kingdom of the Netherlands had replaced the Spanish Kingdom as the maritime hegemon as the largest colonial empire.

Now, do you want to let yourself ask the Spaniards in the port of Keelung for help?

Spain was a feud of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the war lasted for seventy years.

Now attacked by the Ming army, you must not ask them for help.

But the Kingdom of the Netherlands has the most powerful East India Company.

The Daming Empire blatantly attacked the treasure island, is it really not afraid of retaliation?

Ou 24, who became more and more angry, looked at the noble who fled from Jingshi.

"Marquis Ma, you are the Marquis of the Daming Empire! What do you do now? "

"Emperor Chongzhen, since more than half a year ago, his personality has changed greatly! He will not be merciful to the enemy! "

Oss frowned: "Then if we surrender, what will he do?" "

Ma Houye scratched his head, he also didn't know what kind of treatment surrender was?

"Or you can give it a try!"

"You two, accompany Ma Houye to the Ming army camp, just say that we are willing to surrender!"

Ma Houye was terrified and plucked up the courage to take two soldiers to discuss surrender.

Soon, they were driven back.

"General, the Daming Emperor said, do not accept surrender, let us take up arms and fight to the end!"

Oss had a black line on his face, and Ni had never heard of not accepting surrender!

Chongzhen had in his hands the materials of the Dutch colonial army captured from the city of Gelan.

At this time, Chongzhen's heart was shocked.

Before feeling yourself, the knowledge is all wrong.

It is now the tenth year of Chongzhen, 1637.

Chongzhen continued to recall the history he had studied, at a time when the Kingdom of the Netherlands had been at war with the Kingdom of Spain for sixty-nine years.

They would not recognize the independence of the Kingdom of the Netherlands until 1648.

At this time, the English Empire was not a maritime hegemon at all.

Chongzhen thought about it, and the memories of later generations appeared in his mind.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands became completely independent in 1609, but the Kingdom of the Netherlands was not really recognized in 1648 until the Eighty Years' War with Spain.

Now in 1637, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is currently the maritime hegemon and the largest colonial empire.

It was not until 1652 that the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the British Empire broke out into the Anglo-Dutch War, and most crucially, the British Empire and the Netherlands, a total of four Anglo-Dutch wars broke out.

Looking at these materials, Chongzhen recalled the history he had learned.

At present, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is the largest colonial empire, and the East India Company established by the Kingdom of the Netherlands is also the largest trading company, accounting for more than half of the world's trade.

Although the British Empire defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588, at this time, the British Empire had not really become a maritime hegemon.

It was not until 1763, when the English Empire occupied Canada from the French Empire, that the English Empire officially replaced the Kingdom of the Netherlands as the maritime hegemon.

It is now the seventeenth century, between 1600 and 1700, during the golden age of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Now that he has recovered the treasure island, he has obviously had a direct showdown with the Dutch kingdom, which is the overlord of the sea.

Since the showdown is over, then of course it is necessary to establish the maritime supremacy of the Daming Empire.

It was necessary not only to establish maritime supremacy, but also to establish trading companies to replace the East India Company. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

It is even necessary to establish a financial system to replace the financial system of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the British Empire, so that the world can regard the Daming Coin as the world currency.

In order for Daming Coin to go global, it is necessary to control global trade.

I can copy it infinitely, and when the time comes, the goods of the Daming Empire will go to the world, which is inevitable.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Chongzhen continued to look through the captured materials.

At present, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has 15,000 merchant ships of various kinds, accounting for three-quarters of the merchant ships of all countries in the entire continent of Europa.

Mother, worthy of being a sea coachman.

Wang Chengen on the side followed Chongzhen and looked at the information.

"Your Majesty, why is your forehead sweating?"

"This Kingdom of the Netherlands, no, is the Republic of the Netherlands, it turned out to be a maritime overlord, the largest colonial power!"

Wang Chengen also broke out in a cold sweat.

"So, we've provoked the wrong country?"

Chongzhen laughed loudly: "Joke, whether he is the Dutch Republic or the British Empire, there is no one who does not dare to provoke!" "

"Since we have a quarrel with the Dutch Republic, then let's simply replace them and let Daming become the overlord of the sea!"

What?

Overlord at sea?

"Your Majesty, I heard that the shipbuilding industry is relatively developed in the Europa Continent, and we have become the overlord of the sea, so we can't run to the Europa Continent, right? That's not an ordinary distance! "

Chongzhen thought about it, indeed.

The entire struggle for maritime supremacy was between several maritime colonial powers on the continent of Europa.

The Daming Empire was in this distant Asia, and it seems that the Suez Canal was not dug at this time.

To get to the continent of Europa, you need to pass through the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.

How is this good?

"Mind him, when the time comes, go to the Europa continent to get a colony, right at their doorstep, 797 blocks their naval warship to fight!"

Wang Chengen's brain was at a loss by Chongzhen's words.

"Your Majesty, the land occupied by our Daming Empire is already the best and most suitable for the people to farm! There is absolutely no need to go overseas to colonize! "

Chongzhen rolled his eyes: "Land, it's not too much!" "

"Especially in the Americas now, look at this map, the colonial armies of various countries can occupy a lot of land with 10,000 or 20,000 troops!"

"The indigenous Indians, the Mayans, the combat effectiveness is not as good as the peasants of the Daming Empire!"

"If you don't colonize at this time, you won't be able to get land in the future!"

"You can't miss the era of the Great Colony."

Wang Chengen kept nodding: "Your Majesty has a point!" As long as His Majesty feeds the soldiers and pays them enough, how far this world is, how far the soldiers can fight! "

Chongzhen also knew that at this time, the countries in the world that lived well were the Dutch Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, and the British Empire and the French Empire.

Even the Kingdom of Prussia had a hard time, and now it is still a scattered state.

As for the Duchy of Rus, it is not very strong now.

Even the Baixin of the Dutch Republic, most of it is good to have brown bread.

The wealth of the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands was concentrated in the hands of one percent of the princes, nobles and merchants.

The remaining 99 percent of the population worked for merchants who were coachmen on the sea.
