The sun never sets on the British Empire, which ruled over a large number of colonies for three centuries from the end of the seventeenth century to the nineteenth century, with a small island nation.

Throughout the history of the world, that is also the only one.

However, the British Empire did not fall after the worst fall, and the American Empire rose next.

And Britain has been reduced to a dog leg of the United States.

And in the era in which Zhao Hongyu lived, the United States no longer had to think about it.

As long as the Song Empire existed with the American continent, then the United States would never appear.

At this time, Britain is still a country that is struggling to become strong.

It's nowhere near as powerful as it was at the end of the century.

Far from it, Britain at this time could not even compare with the Dutch.

At the very least, the coachmen of the sea have begun to show their grandeur.

The Netherlands now has the largest number of ships in the world, and its merchant ships can reach as far east as Macao (the trenches), as far west as Manhattan in the Americas, not to mention the Mediterranean.

It's just that now the Dutch's energy is all held back by the Dutch war.

According to the original history, once the Thirty Years' War was over, the Dutch would dominate the seas for decades by that time in the middle of the century.

It wasn't over until he was killed by the British after the worst of the time.

And the British means of yin against the Dutch is very simple, that is, to win over the countries of Europe and unite these countries to resist the Dutch.

If these countries are alone, their strength is very small.

But together, it's going to be huge.

Especially since the Dutch are fundamentally in Europe, so the Dutch were played to death by the British.

Ports are constantly being attacked, and merchant ships at sea are constantly being plundered by pirates, and the loss of goods is accompanied by economic losses.

All of this has destroyed the Dutch and the burial.

The British, on the other hand, took advantage of the fact that European countries were making a fortune and quietly integrated their naval forces.

When the Dutch were exhausted from fighting with the rest of Europe, the British turned around and made their debut. Honestly put all the countries in order.

At the end of the day, the sweetest fruit was picked by the British.

I have to say that the British really have a hand in intriguing and tricking.

And this strategy has always been the main point of his government's governance, even in later generations.

It's just that this method of the British is already well-known in later generations, so they are slowly not very popular.

Zhao Hongyu, who came from later generations, how could he not be clear about this.

Isn't it, in the summer. The British, who had suffered a loss last year, began to make small moves, getting hundreds of pirate ships to get trouble in Manhattan.

Fortunately, Manhattan was prepared, and with a powerful plug-in, this crisis was overcome.

If it were an ordinary country, it would definitely not end well.

You must know that the combined fleet of hundreds of pirate ships can basically sweep through the Mediterranean colonies, or the large ports of Europe.

And it's not like pirates haven't done it before.

In this day and age, pirate raids on ports were nothing new.

Because after the capture of the port. Pirates can loot more finances.

Just because Chong can make a fortune, it's no wonder that pirates will rush to it.

It's just a pity that this time the pirates met the perverted Song Empire, and they were beaten honestly all of a sudden.

And the organizers of the Pirate United. Blackbeard Jack, who was blamed by the other pirates after his defeat and banded together to defeat him.

Eventually, it fell into the hands of Manhattan's intelligence services.

Therefore. From Blackbeard's mouth, the Intelligence Department knew all the truth and the plans of the British.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hongyu decided to immediately launch an attack on the British colony. A tooth for a tooth and blood for a blood.

As for the reason for the war, Zhao Hongyu didn't bother to find it.

Anyway, I have a big fist, so I will take the British colony first.

At that time, even if the British popularity jumps, it doesn't matter.

Zhao Hongyu doesn't care at all about nonsense like 'serious protests, what rights are reserved'.

Anyway, if you are an Englishman, then use artillery and the army to take it back.

If he didn't go back, Zhao Hongyu wouldn't care just by talking about it.

"Recently, the merchant ships of the British have been detained by us, and these Galen ships have all been used as our warships, and the British must be in pain."

Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu badly.

As soon as the war began, many British merchants did not know that the Song Empire had started a war against the British, and they continued to come to Manhattan.

In line with the idea of being a bad guy to the end, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie simply detained all the British ships and used them as warships to prepare for the Caribbean.

As for those British businessmen who wept and wiped away their tears, Wang Shan would not take into account their thoughts.

It doesn't matter if you're honest, but anyone who dares to blow up the stab will be thrown into the prisoner's camp to build roads.

In this way, a large number of British merchants, who had no merchant ships and could not return to Europe, were stranded in the Americas.

For the sake of public security, Wang Shan and Zhang Tieli also built a concentration camp for these British and locked them in.

In Wang Shan's words, if your British royal family is engaged in a conspiracy and actually cooperated with pirates to attack Manhattan, then we will not be polite to you.

Subsequently, Wang Shan released the information held by the Ministry of Intelligence to the outside world.

At this point, everyone knows why the Song Empire treated the British like this.

Originally, everyone still didn't believe the news announced by the Song Empire.

However, I can't stand up to Wang Shan, a bad guy, and I will show up Blackbeard Jack and some people who know the truth to tell you the truth.

So, slowly, everyone also understood.

If the British are unlucky, they will be unlucky, who will make them cheap.

I have to make small moves behind my back, now I know that I am amazing.

Anyway, if you don't die and don't die, let the Song Empire get the British.

This was the thinking of the European businessmen who came to Manhattan to do business.

Because of the underdeveloped relationship of communications, the British merchant ships still kept coming to Manhattan.

And these British ships, as long as they come to Manhattan, are basically meat buns and dogs, and there is no return.

Therefore. In a short period of time, the British lost a lot of power at sea.

By the time the British crown received letters from the American colonies and learned about what was happening in the Americas, the British colonies had long since fallen into the hands of the Song Empire.

At the same time, hundreds of merchant ships were detained in Manhattan for confiscation, which also caused the British to vomit a mouthful of blood.

You must know that the sea power that the British now possess has has only accumulated after more than 50 years.

Now it's a good thing, the Song Empire in the Americas has only used a little means, and forty percent of the sea power has become someone else's.

This is to say that the British do not suffer, that is false.

But here's the thing. The British themselves knew what a disgraceful role they had played in the pirate attacks in the Americas in the summer.

Therefore, now that they have been retaliated against by the Song Empire, they can only knock out their front teeth and swallow them, and they have nothing to say.

Although they also wanted to quibble, the problem was that Blackbeard Jack was all caught by the people of the Song Empire.

Meanwhile, Blackbeard Jack's henchman. and some people who knew the truth about this matter, all of them were in the hands of the Song Empire.

Therefore, even if the British wanted to quibble, it would be very difficult.

In a word. The British were made to suffer this loss.

"Hehe", Zhao Hongyu smiled: "Who do the British think they are, and they still want to play this game with us, you must know that we are the ancestors of thick black." Will they be able to play with us? ”

"Your Highness, although we are only targeting the British, the Spanish and Dutch have a lot of influence there. Now very few of their merchant ships have come. ”

As the military and political chief of Manhattan, Zhang Tie is now also troubled by the shrinking of business.

After all, the majority of Manhattan's commerce is now supported by Spain and the Netherlands, as well as British maritime merchants.

And their plan, in addition to the British, the Spaniards and the Dutch, if all three are offended at once, who will come to the Americas to do business in the end.

Zhang Tie was very worried about this.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu waved his hand indifferently and said: "Without the British, Spaniards and Dutch, we will do business with the French and the Swedes, our goods are profitable, and there will always be people who are willing to do it with us." Zhao Hongyu was not worried about this at all, "And these three maritime forces want to weaken powerful countries, I don't think they give other countries a chance." ”

Zhao Hongyu has his own plans.

"The French also wanted to develop their maritime power, and after the success of the Portuguese uprising, they would also start to do maritime trade. Sweden has also been putting its policy on the sea now, so the British, the Spaniards and the Dutch are weakened, and the latter three will seize this opportunity, and it is not certain that they will rise all at once. ”

"Besides, when we haven't dominated the seas, don't you think it's too much for the sea to be powerful."

Zhao Hongyu turned his head and said to Zhang Tie seriously.

Zhang Tie fell silent when he heard this, he was thinking about the meaning of Zhao Hongyu's words.

Wang Shan saw Zhang Tie bowing his head and pondering, so he said to him happily: "Brother, don't think about it so sadly, I'll tell you the truth, our Highness's meaning is very clear." The British, Spaniards, and Dutch had to weaken their maritime strength, and they had to give the others a chance. And after the balance of the maritime forces of the European countries, I think their side will definitely become very lively, and then they will not have the energy to take care of our Americas, and then we will have time for peaceful development, right? ”

Hearing Wang Shan say this, Zhang Tie, who was in deep thought, woke up.

Yes, the British are now under heavy damage at sea, and most of the ships are under our control.

The Spaniards were now under attack by the Portuguese and French, and it was not long before they were destroyed.

The Dutch were also dragged into the Dutch War.

It can be said that now is a great opportunity for the Song Empire.

As long as they get hold of it.

Well, in a few years, ruling the oceans will not be a dream.

At that time, the maritime forces of the European countries will be very balanced, and there will inevitably be several years of struggle for maritime supremacy.

For the benefit of the Mediterranean, the countries of Europe will be drawn all into it.

At the same time, there will be many more countries.

Ottoman Empire, various Arab states.

Hehe, what the Song Empire wants to do is to stay away from the land of right and wrong, and develop itself well.

After the Europeans decided to dominate the Mediterranean, the Song Empire might not know what it would become.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tie nodded slowly.

"In that case, I know what to do."

Wang Shan turned his head to Zhao Hongyu and said, "Your Highness, I will keep an eye on the Intelligence Department and the Navy Department that is in preparation, and let them formulate a plan." Now that the British colonies are in our hands, that's a sure thing, and we need to plan and start attacking the Caribbean. ”

When it comes to the Caribbean, that is, the Spanish and Dutch Central American colonies, Zhao Hongyu suddenly became interested.

"Hey, does the intelligence department have any information about the Mediterranean now, Spain mainland is being caught between the French and Portuguese insurgents, and it must be difficult for them to come."

Wang Shan replied with a smile: "Your Highness, your guess is right, the Spaniards can't stand it anymore. Therefore, they began to transfer the fleet and legions in the Mediterranean back to fight in large numbers. The same was true of the Dutch, whose war in the Netherlands was also unfavorable, so they also began to transfer troops from the colonies. ”

Hearing Wang Shan say this, Zhao Hongyu suddenly became happy.

"Ha Luha, it's a godsend, so that when we take the Mediterranean, there will be much less resistance. Their warships and land forces have all been transferred back to the mainland, and when the time comes, our army will be gone, hehe......"

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and stroked his smooth chin and smiled evilly.

While Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie were talking about these things, the battle in Maryland had ended, and the Virginia Legion, which numbered more than 10,000 people, was fleeing in a panic.

And behind them, the army of the Song Empire was launching an orderly pursuit.

Among them, the bannermen of Song Baqi were tying up the captives they had captured, and at the same time cutting off the heads of the enemy soldiers they had killed.

You must know that these heads are all white silver coins for them.

This is something that cannot be wasted.

Groups of Virginia Army soldiers were captured or fled in the direction of Virginia.

The Imperial soldiers were not fast in pursuit, and they did not have the idea of pursuing these enemies who had already been defeated by themselves and were beginning to flee.

"Let the Eight Banners go after them, I think they like to do this kind of thing. Anyway, now they've cut off their heads, and they're still cavalry, aren't they? ”

Commander Yuan Xiaoming said crooked to his adjutant. (To be continued.) )
