Meters away, there is a giant dragon that breathes fire from its mouth, a delicate and beautiful mermaid that can sing seductive songs, a mermaid that capsizes ships, and a siren in the deep sea. No matter what.

There are evil wizards hiding on well-known islands, necromancers who play with souls, and a country of sorcerers that makes the New World countries hate them. Also, the mythical reappearance of huge sea monsters, giant snakes, poisonous insects, and people who can speak human words, claiming to be from

Narnia's talking beasts, giants...etc., etc., these things, these weirdnesses and legends intensify the mystery of the new continent and the new world.

The European countries in the Old World, because of the discovery of the New World, the New World and the new routes, along with the endless wealth, have promoted the highly developed shipbuilding industry. Every year, one hundred and dozens of new ships are launched and then delivered to the navy.

Merchants set sail loaded with gold, silver and commodities from the Old World and headed to the New World to start trade. At the same time, some merchants occupied islands with water sources along the way and built docks and houses as temporary resting places.

Over time, such things became commonplace. Not only private individuals, but also state-supported colonial activities. They invaded the territory of primitive savages and used cheap and worthless things to occupy large amounts of land. They built docks and walls.

Houses were built, migrant populations were settled and colonized, and a vigorous colonial movement began.

Brand-new species from the New World were planted and brought back to the Old World. Some caused a sensation in the Old World in a short period of time. Some were completely buried by the people of the Old World. However, some new things such as tobacco, coffee, and cocoa gradually gained popularity.

Sought after. Europe is short of resources and all kinds of resources are scarce.

The hard sea voyage has not hindered the desire of people from all over the world to make a fortune. On the contrary, as time goes by, this feeling becomes even crazier! The entire old European world has completely changed overnight. Everyone is keen on overseas

Everyone was keen on the colonial movement and commercial transactions in the New World. As the ships sailed around, they not only brought back a large amount of amazing wealth, but also promoted the already prosperous Mediterranean pirate industry to flourish again.

Different from the original history, the new world is broader and more diverse in terms of resources and environmental space. Pirates have also begun to gradually move. Although the robbery in the Mediterranean is fierce. However, there are many countries in the Mediterranean, and the robbery

The risk is very high. On the contrary, in the vast sea area outside, although the cost of robbery increases,

The scope of activities has also become infinitely wider. Some pirates gathered together to seize islands and build pirate cities. They conducted black market transactions and opened military factories, taverns, hotels, casinos and brothels. They gathered in the Old World and the New World.

All kinds of scum and scum gathered together, and for a while it seemed to be full of talents, prosperous and lively.

The rise of new great voyages and colonial activities caused the extremely prosperous Mediterranean trade of the Tang Dynasty to decline for a long time. But this is not absolute. Although Europe is eager for various resources in the New World, it is also eager for the resources of the Old World.

resources. But the Tang people sat arrogantly on the Mediterranean and controlled the navigation rights of Egypt and the Suez Canal.

Maritime trade from the East and the West. Whether it is carpets from Persia, female slaves, gems, gold from India, silk, porcelain and tea from China, spices from the East Indies, and the slave trade from Black Africa! It is bound to enter through Suez.

And from other places, the risk is high and the cost of transportation is high. After arriving in Europe, the price is a prohibitive sky-high price!

However, due to the policy of the Tang Dynasty, these commodities have a fixed quota for the navigation of merchant ships and the transaction and transportation of goods each year. Even if there are various types of smuggling, they still have to face the Tang Dynasty's arrogant naval inspections. Even if they evade

Despite the Tang Dynasty's investigation, the annual smuggling trade could not satisfy the market. On the contrary, because

Due to the scarcity of goods, the price of goods doubled on the basis! Moreover, the warships of the Tang Dynasty sailed unscrupulously in the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, and even in the South China Sea, there were warships of the Tang Dynasty. They put

Control various transportation arteries, and rely on the convenient Suez Canal to transport materials and soldiers extremely quickly.

At critical moments, he can declare his overlordship in the above-mentioned areas. A series of supply and rest places have been established for a series of islands in the sea. The scale of overseas garrison is also unprecedented in human history. However, because

Overseas trade and colonial movements that were launched due to the great voyages and geographical discoveries, and goods from the New World, once began to impact the Tang people's market, impacting the Tang people's trade dominance.

Also because of the commodities and gold and silver from the New World, the national power of European countries increased rapidly. The scale of the warships they launched every year, if added together, was a scale that even the Tang people were daunting! Therefore, the Tang people also in Asia

We collect various types of high-quality shipbuilding timber from various virgin forests and countries, transport them back to the country, and process them.

Taking shape, various types of warships and merchant ships will be launched every year. Not only to maintain its status as the number one naval power, but also to maintain its absolute dominance as the Mediterranean trade hegemon. At the same time, the Tang people also began to question whether to participate in a war

New World colonization and trade policies, thus launching various tit-for-tat discussions!

Nowadays, the territory of the Tang people has increased dramatically due to the great changes! At the same time, because of the emergence of new territories, some of the excess population have a channel to emigrate. Now, after hundreds of years of external migration, the population of the Tang people has

relocate and develop new land

The land has returned to its previous state again. Although the newly opened towns and land have been filled with people and developed, and gradually become prosperous. However, in the vast land, there are still large areas of land that have not been developed and are still abandoned.

In the state!

In the same way, the territory of the Tang Dynasty increased, so did the Mediterranean, and the area of ​​Europe also increased to varying degrees. At that time, countries were busy migrating people, settling and occupying new lands. Over the course of hundreds of years,

Those newly emerged lands have been filled with populations from various countries.

At the same time, due to hundreds of years of development and reproduction, the population size of Europe has been very different from that in history. At the same time, because the increase in land means a corresponding increase in resources, the war in Europe has once again become extremely chaotic. However,

, and because of the arrival of the Great Navigation, more and more idle populations have a new environment for export. Therefore, for a while, countries with access to the sea temporarily focused their attention overseas. However, countries within Europe still
