Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 747: : The new big voyage

The Tang people sent hundreds of warships to inquire into the blockade of Seville and threaten Castile. Over time, the matter spread from the Mediterranean, North Africa, and then to Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, and North Africa. And the humiliation of Castile made its prestige greatly tarnished, and at the same time, the prestige of the Tang people was raised again. Although no war broke out, the subsequent forcing Castile to abide by the rules of the Chinese people and a series of indemnities for compensation have also enabled countries to see the power of the Chinese people.

In nothing, it was shocking that hundreds of warships were able to surround the door of Castile's house. The good news is that through this act, the Chinese have established their unshakable identity as the hegemon of Mediterranean trade and the rule maker. The bad news is that through this incident, the European countries have set off a wave of armaments that can be called crazy and a wave of going out to explore!

The Tang people are strong, but the countries obviously don’t think that the Tang people can threaten the whole world through the power of one country! Even if it is very powerful, it can easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, and can mobilize more than a thousand warships. If it can, including merchant ships, the number of Chinese ships will flood the entire West.

However, all countries are also afraid that what happened to Castile will eventually happen to themselves; therefore, while building ships, rectification actions against the navy are also proceeding simultaneously. Recruit outstanding naval personnel, train naval soldiers, and design advanced ocean-going warships. Not only is it to strengthen its own armaments, but also to prepare for new foreign exploration.

People treat the legendary elves with interest and curiosity, far beyond China!

After all, China is only a human country, and the elves are the existences that are spread in myths! 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 elven goods, which also ignited the whole of Europe. Therefore, under the influence of this craze, the pursuit of elves to find the existence of elves ignited the enthusiasm of the West.

On the one hand, the reason is because of the elves, but the bigger reason is that all countries want to break the trade monopoly of the Tang Dynasty. Because most of the products from the ancient oriental world are dominated by the Tang people! The cost of Eastern goods transported by land is too high, and the value is comparable to or even more expensive than gold. Although the cost of shipping is low, the Tang people treat products from the East and give priority to their own country. Several of them, enjoying the spices produced from the Spice Islands, enjoying the oriental tea and porcelain, wearing jewelry made of India, and wearing silk clothes. Even the Tang people extravagantly used silk to make sails.

These lively examples are clearly shown in the Western world. How can they not be exciting?

However, in the Mediterranean, although the locality of the Tang people 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 the four wars, surrounded by nations! However, the nations still do not have enough confidence to dare to go to war with the Chinese in the Mediterranean!

Because the Tang people not only have a huge naval fleet, they also have a dragon that is active in the Mediterranean! Even if the coalition forces of various countries defeated the Chinese navy, they must have the ability to defeat this giant dragon. Therefore, in the face of the domineering behavior of the Tang people and the behavior of eating alone, the nations itch their teeth with hatred, but they dare not start the war lightly! Unless they find the assurance of a one-shot victory, even if they form a coalition army, they will not dare to start a decisive battle with the Chinese in the Mediterranean!

Therefore, countries began to seek to break the situation from other places, and the emergence of elves is undoubtedly a good way to solve the predicament. Because the cloth from the elves is not worse than silk, and those luxury items are even better than the things produced by human beings in some respects. Whether it is luxury goods such as jewelry or other luxury goods, they all show the advanced skills and production techniques of the elves themselves. Therefore, if they can reach a stable trade route with the elves, then the goods of the elves can flow into the West continuously, and then break the trade monopoly of the Chinese.

In addition, there is one more thing, because gold and silver produced in Europe, North Africa, and Asia Minor have continuously flowed into the hands of the Tang people and the Eastern world through East-West trade. There are very few products from Europe that can enter the world of ancient eastern countries. The continuous outflow of gold, silver and precious metals has also hit Europe's already weak economy. Although the Chinese were a bit injured in this respect, they were always able to obtain compensation from other places because of their monopoly, and then tried to find ways to earn gold and silver back from the Eastern world. After going back and forth, the Tang people not only made huge profits, but also made up for the losses, but it was the entire West that was injured.

Therefore, if this dissatisfaction had not been for the existence of the three-headed dragon, a war against the Chinese would have been set off long ago. Although European countries have joined in because of the Suez Canal, the two decades of canal excavation have fattened and made the Chinese people. After that, although there was a dividend of Canal's income every year, in the end, after many changes of hands over the years, it entered the pockets of the Tang Dynasty again.

Because of the huge navy of the Chinese people and the Castile incident, European countries began to feel a strong sense of crisis, and countries with conditions began to reform their navy and ship building frenzy, and at the same time issued regulations for private exploration. It is necessary to give titles to them to become nobles, and there are also rich monetary incentives.

Under the temptation of wealth and power, the already poor civilians began to enlist as navigators, preparing for an overseas exploration activity. Because the monarch assured them that once they can find the kingdom of the elves, and can trade with the elves. Then, waiting for their results is the glory of heaven!

Power and wealth go down in history!

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

They drove a new ocean-going galleon~www.NovelMTL.com~ to recruit full sailors, and set sail one by one, toward the vast ocean. Everyone has dreams, longing for power and wealth, and working hard for their own future. Even if it may be gone forever, no one can stop them from pursuing their dreams and their motivation to pursue money at this moment.

And the behavior of various countries also let the Tang people know that, after all, this kind of activity is not a country's participation, but a country's participation. In fact, every country has never thought of concealing it. Although the Chinese are powerful, as they guessed, it is impossible for one country to fight against the whole world!

A single country, in the entire West, no country is the opponent of the Tang Dynasty. However, the Chinese people must deal with it cautiously when many countries join forces. After all, he did not have a population of more than 400 million, nor did he degenerate into industrialization. In fact, this different world has already cut off industrialization and the emergence of modern civilization. But muskets and artillery can appear, because gunpowder has already appeared. And now, further research and development on gunpowder have already begun.

Similar to the original history, the same is the pursuit of wealth, the same is the pursuit of goods from the East, and the same is to break the monopoly. But now, there has been a divergence here, and the original purpose has begun to change. The nations are not thinking of China but seeking the kingdom of elves. After all, the latter is undoubtedly more influential than the strong, and it is more able to drive human curiosity!
