Chapter 274 Zhao Hongyu's Plan
"Now Europe is just at the beginning of the Thirty Years' War, which has brought all European countries into it, and Spain has been officially dragged down by this war." Zhao Hongyu began to express his plan to Wang Shan.
"First of all, we must gain benefits in this war, and at the same time, we will hold the Spanish as soon as possible, and then seek to seize their colonies in the Americas. Therefore, Portugal is a good choice, and it is annexed by Spain and is very resentful about it. If we can support some forces against Spain, then the Spanish will not care about the colonies, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Shan took a deep look at Zhao Hongyu.
"What Your Highness means is to find the right forces in Portugal to support them, give them military and economic support, and let them fight Spain?"
Wang Shan understood what Zhao Hongyu meant.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "On the map, Portugal has a good location. If he resists Spain, although he may not win, it will make Spain mess for a while. What I want will also make Spain mess. Only when it messes up can we gain greater benefits."
Wang Shan closed his eyes and thought carefully.
As Zhao Hongyu said, Portugal is geographically closest to Spain, so if Portugal gets messy, it would be a good thing for Spain to drink.
Moreover, the eastern countries in Europe are now frequently uniting and forming alliances to fight Spain, and then it will be attacked on both sides.
Anyway, Spain is destined to decline in history, so if that's the case, then it's a little earlier.
The colonies of Central America and Spain are a large piece of fat meat, and various products are staggeringly rich.
If you can control Central America, there will be more benefits for Zhao Hongyu.
"The Portuguese were not interested in the Spaniards, and they were very resentful in their hearts, especially the Portuguese nobles. Because the Spaniards controlled the Portuguese government power and appointed the Spaniards to manage the government, the Portuguese nobles were all in a state of decline."
When Zhao Hongyu said this, he pointed to the crowd watching the battleships not far from the shore.
"See, those nobles who are no different from beggars are the ruins of Portugal. They have lost their land, wealth and power. Do you think they have a lot of resentment towards the Spanish?"
Wang Shan smiled: "Of course it's very big. I guess I've had the idea of eating the Spanish. But do you think these people are reliable? If we give them support, what can they repay us in the end?"
Wang Shan raised his own question, and he was interested in what benefits these Portuguese could give them.
No matter what you do in this world, you have to pay attention to interests. Who would believe things without interests?
Even if Zhao Hongyu and the others did not ask for any reward for helping the Portuguese, the Portuguese would not believe them.
In this era, there is no such person who does not seek rewards.
"There are many benefits. The Portuguese attacked the Spaniards, so because of geographical reasons, the Spaniards had to focus on Portugal. At that time, the Spaniards would not have much thoughts and pay attention to the colonies, right?"
Zhao Hongyu took out his pocket, took out a cigarette from it, and took out one and handed it to Wang Shan.
"When they were in chaos, we could attack the Spanish colonies in Central America, and the Spanish mainland could not provide any support for the colonies due to the chaos, so that we could easily seize the colonies. When the Spanish resumed the situation, it would be too late at that time."
Yes, colonies without local support are actually easy to capture.
The Spanish colonies in the Caribbean are large, but what Zhao Hongyu is most worried about is local aid.
Without local aid, he would have the confidence to seize Central America.
So he thought about finding something to hold Spain back and prevent Spain from taking action to assist the American colonies.
"Your Highness, your plan is very implementing. I thought about it and maybe we can improve it." Wangshan's mind was very quick, and he immediately learned from a better way.
"Oh, tell me." Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Shan and asked.
After taking a deep breath of smoke, Wang Shan vomited blue smoke, and then replied: "Portugal is on the west side of Spain. We have also come to Europe anyway. We can contact France, a country bordering Spain. Under the attack between the east and west, Spain is likely to no longer exist. At that time, we can completely take over the interests of Spain and America, while Portugal and France will divide the Spanish and European territory, right?"
Wang Shan's idea was even worse. His plan was to directly destroy Spain and would no longer exist.
Zhao Hongyu thought about it and thought that he had arrived in this era, so it was not impossible to change the original historical process. Anyway, the current historical process has deviated.
The Indians and Quebec are all different now.
Then, it is not impossible for Spain to disappear if you think of this.
At that time, the Portuguese and French who have benefited will be busy dividing the Spanish mainland, and they will probably not notice the Song Empire in a short period of time.
When everything stabilized, the Portuguese and the French were unable to help them when they wanted to talk about the interests of Central America and Spain.
Everything is spoken by strength, and Zhao Hongyu is confident that he can develop the power that can protect himself while he is in trouble.
Who made him have a super plug-in?
Therefore, he felt that Wang Shan’s proposal was very feasible.
"The Moorish Empire opposite the Mediterranean is still built, so we can also make a fuss about them. It is not difficult to provide some weapons, and it is not impossible to let them cause trouble for the Spaniards, right?" Wang Shan looked at Zhao Hongyu with a wicked smile on his face.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Well, that's right. Your proposal is an enhanced version of my plan, and it's very feasible. You can try it out. But I think the Moors are not used to deal with Spain, but to deal with the Portuguese and French talents after the future division of Spanish territory."
Zhao Hongyu can predict that after the Portuguese and the French divide the Spanish land, they will inevitably focus on the colonies in the Americas.
Then he and the Song Empire demanded that the interests of those colonies be inherited.
At that time, disputes and conflicts will almost never be thought about and you will know that they will happen.
So, it is still a very reliable idea to find a hidden opponent for them.
That's how Zhao Hongyu planned to train the Moors.
"Aha, do you want to make a trip for Portugal and French people in advance? I like this plan." Wang Shan, who understood Zhao Hongyu's plan, laughed.
"Okay, now we're talking about it on paper, and we'll talk about everything when we start to implement it. So now my plan is like this, what do you think?"
After Zhao Hongyu waved his hand, he asked Wang Shan seriously.
Wang Shan nodded seriously: "It is completely feasible, and I agree with the implementation of this plan. So now we have arrived at the Portuguese port of Lisbon, and we can start looking for a suitable partner to support it."
Since this plan has been confirmed, Wang Shan doesn't want to delay it anymore.
Anyway, it's also here, so it's good to find something to do.
"Let's wait to meet those nobles and see what the situation is. We are not familiar with this place for the first time, so take your time."
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan walked out of the captain's room and returned to the deck again.
"Have you finished the business?"
Seeing Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan coming out, Sarah went up to him and asked.
Zhao Hong replied with a smile, "It's all over." Then he gave Wang Shan a wink, and Wang Shan took off the boat and walked among the genetic soldiers on the shore. "Sarah, do you have any acquaintances here?"
Sara looked at Zhao Hongyu in confusion when she heard this: "How many acquaintances are there? Is there anything wrong?"
Zhao Hongyu was silent for a moment, and then said to Sara: "Are the person you know a Portuguese noble or a Spanish noble? I plan to support the Portuguese royal family. Do you think this is feasible?"
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongyu felt that it would be better to reveal it a little to let Sarah know, after all, they are all family now. And Sarah knows much more about things in Europe than herself, and if she had her plan to help her, it would be smoother.
"You are not kidding if you want to support the Portuguese royal family."
Sara was very surprised. She didn't understand that her little man had just arrived in Europe and was docked in the port of Portugal to do such a big deal.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Sarah seriously: "I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
Sarah stared at Zhao Hongyu in disbelief. She asked, "Why don't you have such an idea? Do you want to invade Europe?"
Such a thought flashed through Sara's mind.
Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "I don't want to invade Europe. There is an Atlantic Ocean between me. I don't need to do this. But I want the Spanish colonies in Central America, so I have such a plan."
Then, Zhao Hongyu told Sarah about his plans and plans.
Well, it's so crazy.
This is the idea that Sarah had in the first time.
"Sarah, you know the down-and-out nobles in Portugal, especially those who hate the Spanish the most. I need such people to come forward and organize the people to fight against the Spanish, and I can give them financial and weapon support."
"Sarah, you are my wife now, and you have to see some things. I did this for the sake of the empire. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Seeing Sarah's stunned look, Zhao Hongyu said to her seriously.
Yes, I have now married Zhao Hongyu and become the second queen of the empire.
Then, I must have planned for the empire.
My little man said nothing wrong with this.
Although Queen Mary of France was a Spanish, wasn’t everything she did in the end for France and her son?
After understanding this, Sara suddenly felt much more relaxed. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, and it is updated faster!)
