The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Count Picasso would be a human being. He was afraid that Subha Pasha would be embarrassed, so he taught Senator Basten: "He is Pasha of the Ottoman Empire. Apart from drinking, he has never eaten anything or drank anything. The new tea in China, people drink tea earlier than you!"

"I was wrong. We, the Chinese and the Ottomans will eat and drink. We have a bright future!" The Big Fat Senator immediately admitted his mistake and said with enthusiasm: "Welcome to you, noble Pasha!"

He greeted Earl Superior again, and Earl Superior dealt with it indifferently as before.

Everyone seated again, new dishes kept coming up, and the table was full.

Soon after the start, as everyone exchanged words, Subha Pasha knew that this Member of Bastern and Count Picasso were the same raccoon dogs. They were both good at eating, drinking and playing. They had a wine bag and a rice bag and a straw bag. No wonder they were so. able to talk to.

However, this kind of person is long-sleeved and good at dancing and well-informed. When Picasso Count Desubha Pasha mentioned that he wanted to invite the Dutch to send out the fleet and help the Ottomans to fight the Chinese, Senator Basten shook his fat head and said: "Difficult!"

According to him, almost ten years ago, after the death of William II who ruled the provinces of the Netherlands, including the Netherlands, the Netherlands was no longer the Netherlands.

William II has a prominent position. He is the Prince of Orange, the Earl of Nassau, and the son of Frederick Henry. Since 1647, he has served as the capital of the provinces of the Netherlands (except Friesland), and inherited Oran after his father's death. The title of Prince of Governance.

The Netherlands originally belonged to Spain. In order to fight for independence, it fought a full 80-year war of independence with Spain. This is also one aspect that dragged down Spain. Otherwise, with Spain's wealth of American silver mines, it would not be financially bankrupt.

Senator Basten is a talkative person and he has said everything. Sobha Pasha understands that the world is full of troubles and not riches. After the end of the Eighty Years' War for Dutch independence in 1640, politics appeared in the Netherlands. Split to form the Orange Family and

Its supporters are the two major factions of the centralization faction, which advocates the maintenance of a strong army, and the local autonomy faction represented by the commercial oligarchs of the local councils.

The Orange family implemented a centralized system and collected taxes from the people, which would reduce the income of the people and reduce the degree of freedom at the same time. Of course, local self-government would be too much to claim the king.

William II contacted France with the intention of igniting war and seizing part of the Spanish Netherlands, that is, Belgium.

Seeing that he was ambitious, the Dutch Provincial Council dragged him down, disbanded part of the army, weakened his military power, and prevented him from succeeding.

By 1650, Wilhelm II ordered the detention of six key members of the Dutch Provincial Council and marched to Amsterdam to completely control power.

Originally, he had a great chance of success. After all, he had the dominant political power and naturally had the advantage, and there were many people who supported him.

However, there is no holiday. In this year, the 24-year-old Dutch governor William II suddenly contracted the horrible smallpox disease in children and died. His son William III was born eight days after his death.

Although William III inherited the position of William II, but William III is so small, it is impossible to do anything, it is good to be able to keep the family business.

So the local self-government faction was happy and immediately convened a parliamentary meeting to announce that the Republic would no longer set up a unified army and that the defense of the provinces was responsible for themselves. At the same time, five provinces announced the abolition of the ruling post.

In this way, the Netherlands has entered the "first period of non-government" (1650--), and the provinces have their own way, and long live freedom!

Count Picasso asked Senator Basten curiously: "Which faction do you belong?"

Senator Basten waved his arms and said: "I belong to the money group. Whoever can give me money, I will support him!"

He is a person who can't hide his thoughts and told the three present: "I used to be a firm anti-Orange family, and now I am a firm Orange member!"

Thinking that this kind of people changing their flags is like changing their clothes, Subha Pasha couldn't help asking: "Can you tell us why?"

"Of course!" Senator Basten sighed, "Not the **** British pirate!"

Count Picasso sneered: "When you were rebelling in the Netherlands and wanting to leave Spain, you were a family with the British! Why, now the spoils are unevenly divided, and there is a fight?"

Senator Basten didn't blush, and said: "We are fighting in the seven provinces of the Netherlands and fighting with British pirates. This is normal!"

A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and an Atlantic Ocean cannot accommodate two pirates. The Netherlands is inevitably on the liver with Britain.

As early as the early 17th century, the Dutch had become sea carriage drivers. At that time, the two Chinas did not rise. The Dutch controlled the sea passages in Asia and arbitrarily demanded that the British ships not cross the Strait of Malacca to the east!

For the sake of wealth, the British tried to fight. They set up a business hall somewhere in Southeast Asia for trade.

The Dutch pirates came to the door and killed all the people in the business hall.

The Dutch also slaughtered the British in three boats in Indonesia, and there was no one left.

The British were weak and had to retreat with hatred.

Yan Changwu, who occupied Taiwan, coincided with his meeting. The British supported him against the Netherlands, and the British got Taiwan's sugar business.

As a side note, until now, the Southeast has given the British the priority and preferential prices for exporting some cane sugar, because without the British, the Southeast would need more time and a greater price to rise up.

The British exported the battleships to Yan Changwu, and British shipbuilder Phineas Pat also helped Yan Changwu make a three-tier battleship, which became the key to Yan Changwu's rise.

Yan Changwu took advantage of the battleship and drove all the white skins to Africa to go hide-and-seek with Uncle Black.

The British domestic bourgeoisie urgently demanded the opening of new overseas colonies and the expansion of overseas markets, and the Dutch monopoly on maritime trade became the biggest and most direct obstacle and threat to this demand.

The British "Guardian" Cromwell formulated a strategy to control the oceans for this purpose. He attached great importance to the formation of the navy, and set up the "Navy Committee" to be responsible for building new types of warships designed for naval warfare. The British Navy surged from 39 ships in 1649 to 80 ships in 1651, most of which were two-deck giant battleships with 60 to 80 guns.

Look, the British are fierce enough to double their battleships in two years, and most of them belong to the third-tier battleship [www.biquku.biz].

The two pirate countries are fierce at sea ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Dutch navy star Marton Tropp has accumulated rich experience in naval warfare in long-term battles with French pirates and Spanish navy, and has a very high art of command. The Netherlands The combat quality of sailors is also relatively high, but the ships often lack coordination capabilities, coupled with the lack of equipment and quantity, so that they are still at a military disadvantage, making the British naval blockade effective.

Under the strangulation blockade of the British navy, the weakest aspect of the Dutch economy, its over-reliance on foreign trade, was quickly exposed.

Senator Basten said of the tragedy at the time: the streets of Amsterdam were overgrown with weeds, beggars were everywhere, and nearly 1,500 houses were uninhabited. The British naval blockade almost put the Netherlands in a dilemma of poverty. Senator Basten His business was inevitably severely affected, and he lost a lot of money that year.

He saw the comparison of the pros and cons of a unified country, namely the United Kingdom, and an incompletely unified country, that is, the Netherlands. During naval battles, the British did not dare to escape, while the Dutch often refused to obey orders and were free and could not escape immediately. Without the backbone, the army is defeated like a mountain.

Therefore, Senator Basten firmly supports the Orange family, and freedom is no longer fragrant!
