The Journey of the Infinite Wizard

The Tang Dynasty dispatched hundreds of warships to blockade Seville and threaten Castile. Over time, it spread from the Mediterranean and North Africa to Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, and North Africa. And Castile spread rapidly.

Erqu

The humiliating incident greatly damaged its prestige and at the same time increased the prestige of the Tang people. Although there was no war, the series of events that forced Castile to abide by the rules of the Tang people and paid compensation also made other countries see the Tang people.

of strength.

Nothing can compare to the shocking behavior of hundreds of warships besieging Castile's doorstep. The good news is that through this behavior, the Tang Dynasty established itself as the hegemon of Mediterranean trade and the rule maker

, an unshakable identity. The bad news is that through this incident, the European countries set off a crazy wave of armaments and exploration!

The Tang people are strong when they are strong, but other countries obviously do not believe that the Tang people can threaten the whole world through the power of one country! Even if its force is very powerful, it can easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops and more than a thousand warships. If it can

, if merchant ships are included, then the number of ships of the Tang Dynasty will swamp the entire west.

However, all countries are also afraid that what happened to Castile will eventually happen to them; therefore, while building ships, rectification actions for the navy are also carried out simultaneously. Recruiting excellent naval personnel, training naval soldiers, and designing advanced

The ocean-going warships not only strengthened their own armaments, but also began to prepare for new external explorations.

People's interest and curiosity in the legendary elves far exceed those in China!

After all, China is only a human country, and elves exist in myths and stories! In the past, countries did not know their existence, but now they know the existence of elves. There is also a vivid example, that

There are European ships and sailors who have arrived in the land of elves. They have brought a boat full of elven goods, which has also ignited the whole of Europe. Therefore, affected by this craze, people are pursuing elves to find their existence.

ignited enthusiasm in 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 people. Because most of the products from the ancient Eastern world are dominated by the Tang people! And the Oriental goods shipped overland

, the cost is too high, and the value is comparable to or even more expensive than gold. And shipping by sea

Although the cost was low, the Tang people gave priority to the supply of goods from the East. Several of their families enjoyed the spices produced in the Spice Islands, enjoyed the tea and porcelain from the East, brought gems, jewelry, and clothes imported from India.

Clothes made of silk. Even people in the Tang Dynasty made luxurious silk sails.

These vivid examples are clearly displayed in the Western world. How could they not be heart-stirring?

However, in the Mediterranean, although the local area of ​​the Tang people increased greatly after drastic changes, Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor also experienced a lot of growth. Although they were in the Mediterranean, in a place of four wars, surrounded by other countries! However, the countries still did not have enough

With confidence, he dared to go to war with the Tang people in the Mediterranean!

Because the Tang people not only had a huge naval fleet, they also had a giant dragon operating in the Mediterranean! Even if the coalition forces of various countries defeated the Tang people's navy, they still had to be able to defeat this giant dragon. Therefore, in the face of the Tang people's tyranny, they still had to eat alone.

This behavior made other countries hate it with itch, but they just didn’t dare to start the war! Unless they found the confidence to win with one blow, even if they formed a coalition, they would not dare to start a decisive battle with the Tang people in the Mediterranean!

Therefore, various countries began to seek to break the situation from other places, and the emergence of elves was undoubtedly a good way to solve the dilemma. Because the cloth from the elves was no worse than silk, and those luxury goods and the like were even sold in certain places.

In some aspects, it is better than what humans produce themselves. Whether it is beads

Luxury goods such as treasures and other luxuries all demonstrate the advanced skills and production processes of the elves. Therefore, if they can reach a stable trade route with the elves, then the elves' goods can be supplied continuously.

Flowed into the West, thereby breaking the Tang people's trade monopoly.

In addition, there is another point, because the gold and silver produced in Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor continued to flow into the hands of the Tang people and the Eastern world through East-West trade. However, few goods from Europe could enter.

The world of the ancient oriental countries. The continuous outflow of gold, silver and precious metals has also weakened Europe's already weak

The economy suffered a blow. Although the Tang people were also somewhat injured in this regard, because of their monopoly, they could always get compensation from other places, and then found ways to earn gold and silver back from the Eastern world. Over time, the Tang people not only earned

The huge profits also made up for the losses, but the entire West was injured.

Therefore, if this dissatisfaction had not been due to the existence of the three-headed dragon, it would have started a war against the Tang people. Although European countries have joined in due to the Suez Canal, it took twenty years to dig the canal.

, enriched the Tang people and made the Tang people successful. After that, although there were dividends from the canal income every year, in the end, it changed hands many times and entered the pockets of the Tang people again.

And because of the Tang Dynasty's huge navy and the Castile incident, European countries began to feel a strong sense of crisis. Countries with the conditions began naval reforms and a shipbuilding frenzy. At the same time, they issued orders for foreign exploration for the people. They were given knighthoods to make them

Becoming a noble is a must, and there are also abundant financial incentives.

Under the temptation of wealth and power, the already poor civilians began to recruit navigators and prepared to launch an external exploration activity. Because the monarch promised them that once they could find the country of the elves and trade with the elves, then,

The result that awaits them is great glory!

Power and wealth, famous in history!

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

They drove a newly built ocean-going sailing ship, recruited full sailors, and officially set sail one by one, heading towards the vast ocean. Everyone cherished dreams, longed for power and wealth, and worked hard for their own future. Even if

It may be gone forever, and no one can stop them from pursuing their dreams and pursuing money at this moment.

The behavior of various countries also informed the people of the Tang Dynasty. After all, this kind of activity was not participated by one country but by all countries. It could not be hidden from the spies of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the countries had never thought of concealing it. Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful, it could not hide its secrets.

Just as they guessed, it is impossible for one country to fight against the whole world!

As a single country, no country in the entire West is the opponent of the Tang people. But when multiple countries join forces, the Tang people must deal with it carefully. After all, it does not have a population of more than 400 million, and it has not transformed into industrialization. In fact, this different world,

Industrialization and the emergence of modern civilization have long been cut off. However, guns and artillery can appear because gunpowder has already appeared. And now, further research and development on gunpowder has already begun.

It is similar to the original history. The same pursuit of wealth, the same pursuit of goods from the East, and the same desire to break the monopoly. But now, there is a fork here, and the original purpose begins to change. Countries no longer think about China but seek the elves.

country. After all, the latter undoubtedly has a stronger influence than the strong, and is more able to arouse human curiosity!
