Chapter 738

The Tang people sent out hundreds of warships to investigate the crime, blockade Seville and bully Castile. Through the fermentation of time, it spread rapidly from the Mediterranean and North Africa to Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa. Castile's humiliation not only greatly damaged his prestige, but also raised the prestige of the Tang people. Although there was no war, but then forced Castile to abide by the rules of the Tang Dynasty, as well as a series of things to make amends, also let countries see the power of the Tang Dynasty.

There is nothing that can compare with the hundreds of warships that besieged Castile's house. The good news is that through this act, the Tang people established their unshakable identity as the Mediterranean trade overlord and rule maker. The bad news is that the European countries set off a crazy wave of armament and exploration through this event!

The people of the Tang Dynasty are strong, but many countries do not think that the people of the Tang Dynasty can threaten the whole world through the power of one country! Even if its force is very strong, it can easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops and more than a thousand warships. If it can, including merchant ships, then the number of ships of the Tang people will inundate the whole west.

However, countries are also afraid of Castile, which will eventually happen to them; Therefore, while building ships, the rectification actions against the navy are also carried out at the same time. Recruit excellent Navy personnel, train navy soldiers, and design advanced ocean going warships. It is not only to strengthen its own weaponry, but also to prepare for new foreign exploration.

People's interest and curiosity towards the legendary elves are far beyond China!

After all, China is just a human country, and the elves are spread in fairy tales! In the past, countries did not know their existence, but now they know the existence of elves. There is also a living example, that is, there are European ships and sailors, who have reached the land of the elves. And brought a ship full of fairy goods, but also ignited the whole of Europe. Therefore, under the influence of this upsurge, the pursuit of elves and the existence of elves ignited the enthusiasm of the West.

On the one hand, the reason is the spirit, but the bigger reason is that all countries want to break the trade monopoly of the Tang people. Because most of the products from the ancient oriental world are dominated by the Tang people! However, the cost of Eastern commodities transported by land is too high, and their value is comparable to or even more expensive than gold. Although the cost of shipping is low, the Tang people give priority to the supply of goods from the East. They enjoyed spices from the Spice Islands, tea and porcelain from the East, jewels from India and clothes made of silk. Even in Tang Dynasty, the sails were made of silk.

This vivid example is clearly displayed in the western world. How can it not be exciting?

However, in the Mediterranean, although the local population of the Tang Dynasty has greatly increased after drastic changes, Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor have also seen a lot of growth. Although they are in the Mediterranean, in a position of four wars, surrounded by countries! However, countries still do not have enough confidence, dare to fight with the Tang people in the Mediterranean!

Because the Tang people not only have a huge naval fleet, they also have a dragon in the Mediterranean activities! Even if the Allied forces of various countries defeated the navy of the Tang Dynasty, they must have the ability to defeat the dragon. Therefore, in the face of the tyranny of the Tang Dynasty and the act of eating alone, the countries hate it, but they dare not start the war lightly! Unless they find a way to win, even if they form a coalition, they dare not fight the Tang people in the Mediterranean!

Therefore, all countries began to seek to break the situation from other places, and the appearance of elves is undoubtedly a good way to solve the dilemma. Because the cloth and silk from elves is no worse than silk, and the luxury goods and so on are even better than the things produced by human beings in some ways. Whether it is luxury such as jewelry, or other aspects of luxury, all show the developed skills and production process of elves themselves. Therefore, if they can reach a stable trade route with the elves, then the elves' goods will continue to flow into the west, and then break the trade monopoly of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, the gold and silver produced in Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor continuously flowed into the hands of the Tang people and the eastern world through the East-West trade. However, few goods from Europe can enter the world of ancient oriental countries. The outflow of gold, silver and precious metals has also hit Europe's already weak economy. Although the Tang people were injured in this aspect, they could always get compensation from other places because of their monopoly, and then tried to earn gold and silver back from the eastern world. The Tang people not only made huge profits, but also made up for the losses, but also injured the whole west.

Therefore, if it were not for the existence of the three dragons, this dissatisfaction would have set off a war against the Tang people. Because of the Suez Canal, some European countries joined in, but the 20 years of canal excavation enriched and made the Tang people. After that, although there were dividends from the canal's income every year, in the end, they changed hands many times and entered the pockets of the Tang people again.

Because of the huge navy of the Tang Dynasty and the Castile incident, European countries began to have a strong sense of crisis. Countries with conditions began to reform their navies and build warships. At the same time, they issued regulations for foreign exploration against the people. It is necessary to give them titles to make them aristocrats. In addition, there are rich financial incentives.

Under the temptation of wealth and power, the poor civilians began to apply for the navigator, ready to launch a foreign exploration activities. Because the monarch assured them that once they could find the kingdom of the elves and trade with them. Then, waiting for their results is a great honor!

Power and wealth, famous in history!

This is enough to make anyone crazy. Although navigation is very dangerous, these dangers are no longer terrible under the triple temptation of power, wealth and fame.

They are driving a new ocean going yacht, recruiting full of sailors, one by one officially set sail, heading for the vast ocean. Everyone has a dream, looks forward to power and wealth, and works hard for his own future. Even if they may never return, no one can stop them from pursuing their dreams and money at this moment.

And the behavior of various countries also made the Tang people know that after all, this kind of activity was not the participation of one country, but the participation of various countries, which could not hide the secret agents of the Tang people. As a matter of fact, all countries have never thought of concealing that although the Tang people are powerful, they can't fight against the whole world in one country, just as they guessed!

In a single country, in the whole west, no country is the opponent of the Tang people. When many countries joined hands, the Tang people had to deal with it carefully. After all, he did not have more than 400 million people, nor did he transform into industrialization. In fact, industrialization and modern civilization have long been cut off in this different world. However, muskets and artillery can appear, because gunpowder has already appeared. Now, the further research and development of gunpowder has already started.

Similar to the original history, it is the same pursuit of wealth, the same pursuit of goods from the East, and the same attempt to break the monopoly. Now, there is a fork in the road, the original purpose began to change, countries are not thinking about China, but to seek the kingdom of elves. After all, compared with the strong, the latter undoubtedly has a stronger influence and can drive the curiosity of human beings!
