Chapter 979 Who is the sun does not set
The Spanish fleet in the Strait of Magellan is not very strong, at least not as strong as the Caribbean fleet that has been fighting all year round. The strength of more than 30 large and small warships is not comparable to the nearly 100 ships of the Daming Marine Division. And its firepower and the new artillery of Daming Marine Division are also very weak. Their colonial forts, not even the artillery of the Ming Navy, are powerful and have a long range.
And because the Magellan Strait is too narrow, it can only fight bravely after being blocked by the main gunships of the Daming Marine Division. As a result, in less than a day, he was defeated by the Ming sailor with fierce firepower and far range. Relying on their familiarity with the waterways of the Strait, they want to escape back to China. But when they ran to the eastern end of the Strait of Magellan, they found that a more horrible fleet had been waiting here for a long time! On the huge ship like a town, the cannon was like the wrath of God, blowing his fleet into powder with land thunder!
The Spaniards were desperate. They lowered the flag of their king and raised the white flag of surrender, but they still could not be forgiven by the other party. The cannon still roared, and the Ming sailors couldn't understand the European flag, and they were ordered to kill them all! Although Zhang Fan is a little unbearable, he also knows that this kind of hegemony dispute can't tell who is right and who is wrong, and its contradictions are irreconcilable!
For the Western powers, you can only make them give in if they are more vicious than them! When they colonized, they never sympathized with the local indigenous people, because the local indigenous people, like the local beasts, was just an obstacle to colonization. There is no mercy, but slavery and plunder!
Daming raised half of the strength of the country and built the Daming Marine Division'syuan hang fleet, which destroyed the Spanish fleet defending the Strait with a decaying posture. The land forces also quickly broke into the colony under the cover of the gunboat's firepower. After a massacre, after looting the colonial supplies, the Daming Marine Division burned the town with a fire. After the colonization was built on the Panama Canal, it was of little value, and Aaken was unwilling to waste valuable Chinese immigrants to occupy it.
Through this narrow waterway, the fleet began to march north along the coast of South America. Several Spanish colonies were robbed along the way and a Spanish transport fleet. Although there is no life left. But the message of this powerful fleet is like the whisper of Neptune, spreading over the Atlantic Ocean with the current and sea breeze...
The Daming Marine Fleet bypassed the great turning point in South America and arrived at Barbados through the mouth of the Amazon River. Here, Zhang Fan Aken parted ways with the book demon, who took a gunboat fleet to the Caribbean to prevent the Spanish retaliatory attack. Zhang Fan Aken led the main fleet to continue north, where there was a colony that Aken thought must be occupied!
Massachusetts, a later North American, was the first North American colony established by the United Kingdom in 1607, and the Mayflower became the foundation of the United States with the first Mayflower Convention in 1620. Akan decided to take root in China before the British colonization.
Coincidentally, when the Daming Marine Fleet arrived here, Zhang Fan's 'Caribbean Union' fleet, the three-masted sailboat named Mayflower, also arrived with a group of British Puritans. Zhang Fan Aken even received a reminder that they would complete the hidden task of the Mayflower Convention ahead of schedule.
History is always full of coincidences! When the Daming Marine fleet put down the last batch of 5,000 Chinese immigrants, China occupied the most important historical settlements in North America. The pioneers of the early arrival of the United States can only be overwhelmed by Chinese immigrants. Since then, at least in this historical scene, there will be no future superpower! Even if there is, it is the United States that appears as a Chinese colonial point. Perhaps its name should be 'Beautiful China'.
After resting here, the Ming sailor set out from here and went to England on the other side of the Atlantic to complete one of the most important missions of this voyage. At this time, Britain was not strong, at least it was suppressed by the powerful Spain. When he saw the arrival of such a large fleet, Elizabeth I thought Philip II of Spain. His invincible fleet was sent to capture the whole of England. I was so scared that I was fartted!
When she learned that it was her baron Shi Fan who returned to her motherland and came with a powerful fleet to support her against the Spanish and the Holy Roman Empire, she was so happy that she almost didn't marry her. She is a famous 'virginal queen' in British history. She has been unmarried all her life, and she is only about 30 years old at this time.
However, Zhang Fan is not interested in the Queen of England. He is interested in the successful signing of a peace treaty with Elizabeth I on behalf of Daming. In this treaty, Britain recognized the legal status of Daming in the whole New World, which is an inseparable part of Daming's territory! Any colonization of the New World is a contempt for the Ming Empire! England, on the other hand, enjoys the rights to the Caribbean and enjoys the most preferential treatment for trade with the Ming Empire.
The two countries will work together to drive away other third-party forces in the New World and the Caribbean! And for colonies in other parts of the world, there is a first-come, first-served priority.
The reason why Elizabeth I dared to sign this treaty that sold the whole European countries was that she witnessed the three million tons of treasure ships that made her amazed! In her opinion, such an invincible giant ship is effortless to destroy the coastal cities of any country!
How did she know that the country she led, even if it did not form an alliance with China, would colonize the world and become an empire that would not set in the future. But now this title has been changed to the Ming Empire!
Emperor Daming was very generous. Zhang Fan presented the reward of Emperor Jiajing, a large number of satin tea and porcelain to Elizabeth I on behalf of the Ming Empire. These gifts are worth more in Europe than the British royal family's five-year income!
Elizabeth I was also very generously promoted to the hereditary title of Grand Duke of the Caribbean, and on behalf of the British royal family to lead Caribbean affairs and liaison with the Ming Empire. Zhang Fan's companions, Green-winged Aken Xuanyuan Star, and the book demon, were awarded the corresponding titles. Elizabeth I was very smart and decisive. She understood that Britain's current national strength was inseparable from the help of the alien duke. Especially the huge and terrible empire behind Shi Fan! And the strong power shown by this empire!
To be honest, what's the difference between a few empty titles? As long as these Chinese are willing, it doesn't matter if they give them more titles that don't need to be paid. Anyway, their fiefdoms are overseas where birds don't shit. It is not the territory of England in the first place. Just give someone else's things to another person.
With the assurance of Elizabeth I, Daming sailors are no longer alone in the Atlantic Ocean. At least for the time being, there is an unreliable ally that can contain the energy of other European countries. As long as you give Aken a breath, as long as the immigrants of the Ming Empire stand firm here, what if they are enemies of the whole Europe?!
For Britain, with the support of this invincible Chinese fleet, their plundering captains and pirate fleets can completely rob the Spanish merchant fleet. Because the Spanish's biggest enemy is not themselves. Even if this Chinese invincible fleet does not take the initiative to attack the Spaniards, it will make them scared and panic all day long.
Only then did Zhang Fan feel the benefits of correct diplomacy. He originally thought that the Daming sailor would be besieged when he arrived here. It seems to be against the whole European powers. But now it seems that the pressure of Daming sailors is much less. It also divided the relationship between European powers. Maybe soon, France and the Netherlands, two relatively weak empires, will come to make peace with themselves...
The fleet did not stay in Europe and pretended to leave Britain mysteriously. In this era of uninformation, it is far more deterrent to let rumors exaggerate the power of the sailors than to visit those countries with a high profile. Mystery sometimes means terrible! Perhaps when the rumor reaches the ears of the Spanish king, the whole Atlantic Ocean will be covered with the giant ships of Daming sailors! This brief appearance of the Daming Marine Fleet in Europe is bound to trigger a diplomatic storm between European powers.
Daming Marine acquired a large number of British goods. After resupplying, he left the United Kingdom and crossed the Atlantic Ocean again to the New World of North America. This time, there were many British ships following the fleet, and on the one hand, they felt that it was an honor to walk with such an all-vinc fleet. On the other hand, they know that this invincible fleet will trouble the Spaniards, so they may be able to get a piece of the pie at that time. Under this idea, countless British plundered captains and drove their own sailboats to surround the Daming Marine Fleet for a long voyage.
Along the way, many ships from other countries came to hear the news. In the end, the ships of Western countries that followed even far exceeded the size of the Daming Marine Fleet! But those captains don't know which ships are not from Daming sailors. Therefore, the further back, the captains who arrived were extremely amazed at the scale of this invincible fleet!
Aken is even more excited to see such a situation. After discussing with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayu, he decided to communicate with these Western captains. Let them attack the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean with their own fleet. Under the huge interests**, these looting ships must be happy to act as cannon fodder for the fleet! In this way, you don't have to consume your strength too much.
