Chapter 984 The Rise of China
Zhang Fan continued to explain: "If we take away this 'four-sea certificate' now, then Drake's fate will become mediocre or die like Caterina and Wang Zhi, the 'King of the Pure Sea'. Francis, the demon king of the sea. Drake, it will no longer exist! If so, we will lose a lot of help in the official scene of the 'British and Western Sea War'! Maybe the ending of the British must-win battle will be rewritten. Then don't we get more than we lose?"
"Can't we take this 'certificate of the four seas' when we are testing the scene? So how to complete the task of finding Yinglong? Green Wing asked.
"That's not the case." Zhang Fan laughed and said, "Actually, as long as Drake steps into his life trajectory, we can get this 'certificate of the four seas'. Because at that time, there was a historical trajectory to assist him. Even if he loses this 'Certificate of the Four Seas', he will complete his historical mission.
"Oh." Green Wing seemed to understand, "Then when is the right time?"
At this time, the book demon answered. He pushed his monoculars and said lightly, "I calculated that at the earliest, at the end of April 1581, Queen Elizabeth I personally boarded the 'Golden Deer' and gave Drake the title of Royal Sir Drake, we can take this 'Certificate of the Four Seas'. Because since then, Drake has officially become the vanguard of Britain's fight against the Spaniards and a hero who has completed the feat of sailing around the world. The future fate will no longer be supported by this 'certificate of the four seas'.
"And this 'certificate of the four seas', after pushing its owner's career to a peak, will affect his mind and lead to a bad end because it contains the evil spirit of 'Yinglong'. Therefore, at the most appropriate time, obtaining this 'certificate of the four seas' is beneficial to the original owner.
Aken sat in the chair with his decadent buttocks, scratched a few empty bottles on the table, and finally found him another half a bottle of rum. He poured a few times, wiped his mouth and said, "You should have told me earlier..."
Zhang Fan's book demon looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Fan patted him on the shoulder, "In fact, we are not sure. If you hadn't drunk Drake, drunk him and exposed him, we wouldn't have been able to strip him of his clothes. Or let Ao Ling seduce him?"
"Get out! Let your dark cherry seduce him!" Aken blurted out, but he didn't expect a cold wind to blow in the shadow behind him. He suddenly shrank his neck, and a shadow knife cut off a few strands of his hair.
Aken was so scared that he quickly begged for mercy: "What a dark cherry, I was wrong. Don't be so stingy!"
Zhang Fan tilted his head awkwardly, Green Wing "hummed" and turned around and walked out of the hatch...

With the whereabouts of the last 'Certificate of the Four Seas', Zhang Fan's team also fell to the ground. He went to mainland China, met with the powerful minister Hu Zongxian, met Emperor Jiajing, paid tribute to a number of rare treasures, and was also rewarded by Emperor Jiajing. With his reputation, he also acquired a batch of high-quality supply props, the dark gold drugs of the Pacific Hospital Pharmacy Bureau, the dark gold armor and weapons of the Weapons Bureau, the dark gold dishes cooked by Yangzhou chef and a large number of food supplies. The harvest is rich!
left China and went to the other side of the Pacific with a group of migrant fleets. After years of immigration and colonization, a mechanism has long been formed in the coastal areas of mainland China. Trade and immigration with the New World of the Americas are becoming a fashion, greatly promoting the economic development and population flow in the coastal areas of China.
This is a good phenomenon, and local officials are also happy to see it because of its steady tax growth. Now, after tasting the sweetness of trade with the New World of the Americas, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to restart the sea ban. Because the gold and silver shipped from the Americas, as well as the income from trade taxes, have greatly enriched the pockets of the court and officials and businessmen. If anyone wants to block everyone's wealth, there is definitely no place to die! Now it is uncertain who is the world robber.
The healthy development of marine trade has greatly enhanced the prestige of the Ming navy and stimulated the expansion of armaments, which has greatly improved the national defense force of the Ming court! This is the path of the development of early Chinese capitalism. Whether the growth of the bourgeoisie will threaten the rule of the Chinese feudal dynasty in the future is not something Zhang Fan's team should worry about. History has its own development context.
Watching the countless merchant ships from their own countries in the coastal areas of China, bringing back goods from all over the world and bringing goods from mainland China to all over the world. All members of Zhang Fan's team have a very domineering sense of pride and feel that their country seems to have stood at the top of the world! Perhaps after hundreds of years in this scene, the only superpower in the world is China!
Even if the Chinese feudal dynasty may be decadent and weak in the future, if the Western powers still want to bully the weak China in future, the first thing they need to pass is the resistance of the powerful overseas Chinese colonies! The rebirth of rotten China must rely on the awakening of its own people to resist, only the Chinese people. Only then do you have the right to decide the fate of your country!
In the Pacific Ocean, thousands of sails are Chinese merchant ships. There are also countless pioneers of Chinese colonists buried in the vast sea. But through the experience of natural disasters, the Chinese colonists moved forward more tenaciously! More Chinese colonies will take root and germinate in the American continent and even all continents of the world! Because of the population base and the great difference in strength of European countries, the strength of their colonists can no longer be compared with that of Chinese colonists. China will truly become a sunless empire far beyond England!
At this time, under the bright sunrise of the Pacific Ocean, Zhang Fan's team received a hint of the ring:
You have completed the biggest hidden task in this trial scene, the rise of China. History will develop automatically, and it is foreseeable that the continuous hidden task 'establishing an empire that does not set the sun' will also be completed...
............
When Zhang Fan's team arrived in Panama again, the Panama Canal had been successfully opened. The giant turtle retreated and had long turned into a stone mountain and stationed on the Pearl Islands. The opening of this canal made it easier for Chinese colonial ships to go to the east coast of the Americas and open up new colonies. It also greatly facilitates the 'Caribbean Union' and hundreds of merchant fleets in mainland China to transport goods from both sides of the Atlantic to both sides of the Pacific Ocean.
Zhang Fan's team's ships went to the Caribbean base and saw several British pirate ships looting Spanish merchant ships or fierce conflicts with the Spanish fleet along the way. But now Zhang Fan's team and the Chinese colony led by him have long been out of the matter. Neither the 'Caribbean Union' nor the fleet of the Daming Marine Division ignored the two European countries, and the leftovers left by China for the Caribbean were unreachable.
But in a naval battle near Port Royal, Zhang Fan's team could not stay out! It was a bloody battle between the pirate fleet of Catherine and Captain Hooker and his wife, a bloody battle with the Spanish Caribbean Fleet! It seems that Caterina still can't forget her father's hatred. After her strength improved, she began bloody revenge!
Although Catalina's pirate fleet, all ships and equipment are from the 'Caribbean League' led by Zhang Fan. But the 'Caribbean Union' is neutral and will not conflict with the Spaniards. In revenge, Catalina's pirate fleet, with the acquiescence of the alliance, launched the flag of the Duke of the Caribbean of England and challenged the Spanish Caribbean Fleet!
The two sides are close. Caterina and Captain Hook have fewer ships, but they are more advanced. Dozens of warships on both sides fought together, and the gunfire rumbled and shook the sea.
"I owe a promise..." Zhang Fan told his teammates, flying the 'Saint-Tony', hit the flag of the British Caribbean Duke's flagship, and rushed into the center of the battlefield!
But when the 'Shengyi' rushed into the circle with the sacred light, all the warships that saw the ship stopped shelling. Some ships even raised flags to pay tribute. Seeing this situation, Zhang Fan knew that neither side would engage with him, so he also raised the banner of the Count of Spain. In this case, he can only act as a mediator.
"Please remember that our task is to provoke the conflict between England and Spain." Aken took a sip of wine and casually said to Zhang Fan, "The happier they fought, the more stable the development of the Chinese colony."
Zhang Fan was stunned and then thought for a moment, "I understand..." If it hadn't been for Aken's reminder, as a disciple of Buddhism, Zhang Fan would not have been separated and provoked by tongues.
However, the fire of Catherine's revenge is not extinguished by Zhang Fan's mediation. Therefore, a duel is inevitable. Zhang Fan stood up for a private duel with the commander of the Spanish Caribbean Fleet, the great knight of the Hospital Knights.
But now Caterina has a husband, and Captain Hooker is also a very male chauvinist person. Isn't it too shameful for him to let other men do his wife's affairs? So he also stood at the forefront.
Catrina did not want others to take revenge on her behalf, and she also named a one-on-one fight with the commander of the Spanish fleet. It made the great knight Enrikis very helpless. Sir Shi Fan, I absolutely can't afford to offend him. He is now the king of America of the Ming Empire, the British Duke of the Caribbean, and the Earl of San Juan of Spain, who have hurt him. Not only the Ming sailors and the British can't let him go, but even the King of Spain can't explain that he is dead.
So this guy thought of a man, the gray-robed wizard locked in the bottom cabin of the flagship. That's a horrible guy, and it took a lot of effort to catch him near Port-au-Prince. It is said that the plague in Port-au-Prince was made by this wizard. If it were on the sea, even a fleet would not be an opponent. Enrikis whispered to his assistant and asked him to release the wizard.
