Chapter 625: Card Daming’s Neck (Please subscribe!)

According to intelligence from British businessmen, William III learned that the Ottoman Empire had pledged the land around the Strait of Hormuz to pay for weapons and gave it to the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, when the Ming Dynasty transported supplies to the Ottomans, it only needed to bypass the island of Ceylon and the southernmost tip of the Tianzhu continent, and then enter the Persian Gulf and everything would be fine.

William III also made this information public, and even the Pope was shocked. Osman spent so much money that he actually exchanged land for weapons.

William III said, "Under the current situation, we can only intercept and inspect Ming merchant ships near the Cape of Good Hope. However, the Ming Dynasty transports arms to the Ottomans and does not go through the Cape of Good Hope at all!"

"We can at least impose a trade embargo on Ming!"

The elderly Pope Innocent XII was a little annoyed.

This won't work, that won't work either, then just break off relations with Ming Dynasty.

"Europe does not need their silk, porcelain, sugar, tea, perfume, wine, and high-end clothing. Without these, we can still live well! But without our gold and silver, they will become poor!"

"Your Majesty the Pope, you don't know something. Ming Dynasty's tentacles have already reached America. Even if we don't trade with Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty can still rob gold and silver in America."

William III was a talented person, and it was rare for someone to see the international situation so clearly.

"What? They still dare to rob?"

The Pope was shocked. People in Ming Dynasty would also buy it for zero yuan?

Isn't this their core European skill?

Damn it, I can’t be a fool in the zero-dollar shopping business.

Pedro II, a good ally of the British, said: "Yes, so we can only attack South Tianzhu. That is completely feasible. As long as we obtain sufficient land in South Tianzhu and leave enough fleets to deter the Ming Royal Navy, we can

Can cut off the maritime communication line between the Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire!"

"As for the land contact line, if the Qing and Mongol Empire help us intercept it, great things can be accomplished!"

"The Ottoman Empire has lost the aid of the Ming Dynasty. Is it still afraid that it will not be able to defeat the Ottoman Empire?"

Suo'etu, who understood their exchange below, smiled.

This was all caused by him.

Kangxi always had a sense of crisis. He felt that the land of Tianzhu would be taken away by the Ming Dynasty in the near future.

then what should we do?

Then deceive enough allies to fight against the Ming Dynasty together.

It happened that the Ming Dynasty was showing signs of taking action against Southern Tianzhu, and the great powers of the Netherlands, Britain, and Portugal were also colonizing Southern Tianzhu crazily.

In fact, these three countries do not want more countries to participate in the carving up of South Tianzhu, but if there are only three of them, can they defeat the Ming Dynasty?

That's why William III became so active after Emperor Shinra came to ask for help, because he saw the opportunity to form an anti-Ming siege network.

What some of them said made some sense, but overall it was still unreasonable. However, the Pope had nothing to do with Britain and the Netherlands, two countries that did not believe in God and only believed in money, and Portugal was a follower of Britain.

He had no choice but to seek help from King Louis XIV of France.

"Your Majesty Louis, where do you think our Crusaders should attack? Southern Tianzhu, or Vienna?"

Louis XIV, who has a distinctive personality, stood up wearing velvet decorated with fleur-de-lis, the symbol of the French royal family, a thick wig, white stockings, and a pair of scarlet high heels. His whole body exuded the smell of Daming perfume.

He glanced lightly at his opponent Leopold I, who had just signed the peace treaty.

The coquettish Louis XIV and Kangxi were old pen pals, so they would naturally consider the opinions of the Mongolian National Team of the Qing Dynasty. I only heard him say solemnly: "Your Majesty the Pope, currently Europe does not have enough power to counterattack Vienna, we should change our strategic approach

, if the Ottomans use the money they robbed from Vienna to exchange guns and guns with the Ming Dynasty, I ask you, can they stop it?"

"Instead of doing this, it is better to drive an unbreakable nail in South Tianzhu first so that Ming Dynasty cannot support the Ottomans. Therefore, I support the attack on South Tianzhu!"

Originally, the Bourbon dynasty and the Habsburg dynasty existed side by side on the European continent.

But now the German branch of Haburg has a runaway emperor, and the Spanish branch of Haburg has a fool king.

Harbourg is almost abolished, so Louis XIV, the Sun King of the Bourbon Dynasty, has the most say. Now that he wants to print it, he has to print it!

Innocent XII had no choice but to look regretfully at the stupid Leopold I.

He also wanted to help Shinra, but these people had evil intentions.

Sighing silently, the Pope looked around and said: "Then as you wish, the first target of the Crusaders is South Tianzhu, which has an extremely important strategic position!"

Louis XIV nodded arrogantly. The Pope was very filial. The French were going to plunder Tianzhu this time to make up for the losses in the Grand Alliance War.

The Pope paused and looked at the group of eager monarchs below, "Who is willing to join the Crusade to attack Nandina? How many troops do you plan to send? I want to confirm again so that I can apply to God for a place in heaven after death.

"

"The United Provinces of the Netherlands will send another fifty armed merchant ships, and the United Kingdom will send another twenty warships. In addition, my Dutch East India Company and the British East India have recruited five thousand Tianzhu soldiers in southern Tianzhu."

William III, as the ruler of two countries, was magnificent.

In addition to the 10,000 people each promised previously, a fleet was also sent out!

However, it is normal for him to pay more. Britain and the Netherlands have great interests in southern Tianzhu, so they have to put in more effort to get more benefits.

Previously, without the name of the Crusaders, there was no way to recruit soldiers on the European continent who were willing to go to the distant Tianzhu army.

But now, with the title of Crusaders, even if they believe in Protestantism, they do not believe in Christianity. There will always be fanatics who go there.

"We in Portugal are willing to provide five thousand troops and ten warships!"

The interests are related, and Pedro II is willing to bleed a lot.

"France sent five thousand troops, plus thirty warships."

Louis XIV continued, "The French East India Company will also recruit troops from the colony of Tianzhu."

Having said that, France's colonies in southern Tianzhu are actually very small and cannot recruit many people at all.

They had only one territory, Pondicherry on the Coromandel Coast.

The four countries of the Netherlands, Britain, France, and Portugal had already decided to send troops to print. This time they just increased their bets and added the title of Crusaders.

"Our Rakshasa Kingdom is willing to contribute five thousand troops. As you know, our Rakshasa warriors are the best warriors!"

Sophia of the Rakshasa Kingdom vowed that in fact, her support to the Crusaders was not as much as what she gave to her husband Kangxi.

Louis XIV curled his lips and thought: Rakshasa supplies are just supplies, our French army is the strongest army in Europe!
