ps: I persevered. Although the illness tortures my body, I feel that I can create miracles!

Historically, the Spanish were killed by themselves.

After they obtained the gold and silver of America, they began to become blindly arrogant and began to seek pleasure.

The people in China are suffering from misery and the people are suffering.

On the European continent, prices have soared because of the Spanish's gold and silver.

The reason is very simple. Before the discovery of the New Continent of the Americas, there was not much gold and silver in Europe. Therefore, the gold and silver coins were still strong. In addition, the quantity of products and commodities on the European continent was limited, so it basically maintained a balance.

But after the Age of Discovery began, the Spaniards, who had first gained benefits, became rich. They waved gold and silver and began to raise prices to obtain the supplies they needed.

There were so many supplies and commodities in the original form. If the Spanish wanted to buy most of them, they would need to pay more money.

In this era when productivity is restricted, soaring prices have become inevitable.

After the Spanish had money, they expanded their troops everywhere and ignited wars, and they began to quickly consume the gold and silver they obtained.

When the British and the Spanish started a war, they were forced to do nothing.

First of all, the British were very envious of the huge profits of navigation, and at the same time they also needed to alleviate the pain of domestic prices.

But what the Spaniards did not expect was that their fleet, which they thought they were invincible, was defeated.

At this point, the loss of maritime power caused the Spaniards to go downhill.

Of course, Spain's decline cannot be so fast. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. It will take some time for such a large empire to collapse.

And the Spanish, who deserved to die, did not repent and did not adjust their policies. They continued to send troops everywhere to fight, consuming gold and silver in the treasury.

In fact, Spain in 1620, the treasury was almost exhausted.

In many colonial legions, even their salaries began to be deducted.

This is a bad phenomenon, but no one in Spain paid attention to this.

At the same time, the British and the Dutch continued to attack the Spanish warships transporting gold at sea, plundering the gold that was ready to be transported back to Spain.

This made the already difficult Spanish finance even worse.

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that the trade brought by ceramics can alleviate Spain's finances. That's why this messenger took such a gesture?" In the end, Wang Shan heard some implicit meanings.

Zhao Hongyu nodded: "The Spaniards are eager to bend over and pick up gold. They are so poor that they are almost as pants. Do you think they are envious of our ceramics?" How could Zhao Hongyu not understand the Spanish's little thoughts?

"It is true that the messenger is arrogant, but it is also true that he wants to gain monopoly. If my guess is good, we will be threatened by him in a few days."

Thinking of the fucked character of the Spaniard, Zhao Hongyu reminded Wang Shan.

"Threat? It's really ridiculous. Are we still afraid of threats?" Wang Shan refused to comment.

Zhao Hongyu sighed and said to Wang Shan: "Of course we won't be afraid on the road. There are only four Spanish troops in Central America, with a total of less than 50,000 people. But what I am worried about is the threat from the sea, and they will not give up this opportunity."

Thinking of the huge profits that ceramics can bring, Zhao Hongyu would know with his butt, which would make many people crazy.

"By the way, I want to tell you something else. I made a bad tea yesterday. Although the quality is not very good, it is also a very popular product in mainland Europe. In addition to Wang Shouyi's thirteen fragrance and those bulk pepper ingredients, do you think we can be considered a piece of fat meat?"

Zhao Hongyu's words silenced Wang Shan.

Yes, now there are more and more products in Manhattan, and these products are definitely profitable in Europe. Countless merchants will go crazy about it and will attract the attention of European countries.

It’s not that the Oriental Europeans have found it now, but the voyage is too far.

It takes at least five months to get from Portugal to the East to Macau, and it takes only one year to go back and forth.

From the east, there are only porcelain, tea, and silk products, but Manhattan also owns them.

Starting from Portugal, full of garbage goods, you can go to the West African coast first, where to exchange for a batch of slaves. Then come from West Africa to the Port of Manhattan to sell it, buy tea, porcelain or other goods for return.

This is completely a triangular route trade that once appeared in history, and it is more profitable than the one in history.

It can be said that during the triangular trade process, the value of all commodities doubled. And compared with the Eastern voyage, the triangular trade journey takes only three months, which is four times less than the Eastern voyage route time.

But the profit is higher.

Those businessmen will do this.

Now someone has begun to do this, and the private merchant ship of the Governor of Virginia is the pioneer of this kind of trade. Of course, he has also made huge profits for it.

Those merchants who had traded with Manhattan Island began to follow suit and began this bloody triangular voyage trade.

Zhao Hongyu is clear about this.

However, he did not intend to stop the merchants.

However, Wang Shan and the others also collected some information, and some merchants began to target Manhattan City without enough maritime power, and they had some small ideas.

There are also many pirate ships appearing in the waters near Manhattan.

Thanks to Zhang Tie's proposal, more than a dozen forts were built, so those guys did not do anything rashly.

But what Zhao Hongyu is sure of is that if this situation continues, it will not take long for those guys who are ill-hearted to be unable to help themselves in the face of huge benefits.

"We are just a piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite." Before Wang Shan could reply, Zhao Hongyu continued to speak on his own. "But we still have insufficient defensive power, which gives those people hope. The Spanish messenger now probably saw this, so he made this request."

Zhao Hongyu also had a headache. He could not have expected that the Spanish would come so quickly.

Originally, he knew that it would be a matter of time before he dealt with the Spaniards, but he didn't know that it would be so fast. If he was giving him some things, and when the shipyard built a double-deck warship, the situation would be different when he was going to deal with the Spaniards.

"Your Majesty, this is a fact that our sea lacks defense. We have no way to change this situation for the time being." Wang Shan also showed a helpless look on his face.

"The ship cannot be purchased in the space-time trading machine, otherwise we will be afraid of a bad Spaniard." Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan angrily, "If I can buy a steel ship, the Spaniards who can fight with just one ship will cry and cry for their parents."

What's the point of saying this is useful? After all, I still can't buy it.

As he was talking, Zhao Hongyu thought of the key point and suddenly felt like a deflated ball eroded.

"Don't look at the fact that the Spanish were defeated by the British and lost a lot of warships. But in the Caribbean, they still owned a warship of about fifty-three, protecting their interests in Central America. At the same time, in the Spanish mainland and the shipyards in Central America, a sea boat was launched every three months."

Song Hu had told Zhao Hongyi about this information long ago, so he believed it very much.

"So, it's still very easy for the Spaniards to deal with us." Zhao Hongyu told Wang Shan helplessly. At the same time, he felt very frustrated and held his breath.

Today, Manhattan Island only has four sailboats. This is all the maritime power Zhao Hongyu has at hand, and these four ships were not built by him, but were stolen from the British.

Strictly speaking, under the control of Zhao Hongyu in Manhattan, the Navy has only five fishing boats...

But the question is, can those five fishing boats participate in the naval battle?

This is obviously impossible.

"Your Majesty, but if that envoy really threatens us, should we submit?" Wang Shan asked with some concern. He was very clear about what the Spaniards looked like.

If the threat is really successful and they monopolize the trade of porcelain and other commodities, the Spaniards will recover.

With money, the Spaniards will become stronger.

The powerful Spaniards may not only monopolize goods when they look back, they may even destroy Zhao Hongyu's Manhattan City and then acquire technology and craftsmen.

This kind of thing is not impossible.

However, although what Zhao Hongyu said was a bit terrible, there was no panic on his face.

It seems that Zhao Hongyu is not worried about this at all.

After seeing Zhao Hongyu's leisurely expression, Wang Shan felt that he might have thought too much, and his own Majesty must have a countermeasure to this.

Thinking of this, Wang Shan asked, "Your Majesty, you have already made a countermeasure, right?"

Zhao Hongyu took out a pack of large front door from his pocket, took out a match and lit it, and took a deep breath.

Ahem!

The cigarette costs 2.5 yuan per pack is indeed very good.

This kind of cigarette was made by Zhao Hongyu some time ago, but the brand was a bit painful for him.

Daqianmen is 2.5 yuan per pack in the 21st century, and it is basically impossible to buy cigarettes in the city.

However, it can still be purchased in the vast remote rural areas.

After Zhao Hongyu made out the Daqianmen cigarette, he replaced all the packaging and then sent it to this era.

It has solved a big problem for the majority of genetic smokers.

And with the Daqianmen cigarette, there is also a fake cigarette made of banana leaves...

"Hmph, the Spanish are thinking well. But they don't think about it. Will the British and the Dutch give them monopoly so easily?"

After Zhao Hongyu spit out a green smoke ring, he said to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan's eyes lit up, and he understood what his Majesty meant.

Zhao Hongyu is right. Although the Spaniards have a good idea, they are somewhat unrealistic.

They want to monopolize trade rights, but they also have to think about the attitudes of the British and the Dutch.

In this land of America, it is not just the Spanish.

There are even French people in northern Canada.

"Your Majesty means to reveal the Spanish's demands and threats and let the British and Dutch deal with the Spanish?" Wang Shan asked.

Zhao Hongyu nodded, but shook his head again: "Until the last moment, we cannot pull the British, French and Dutch in. The Spanish are wolves, but the others are also wolves that eat people and don't spit bones. They are no different."
