Chapter 525 The European Threat

It has been nearly ten days since Nguyen Phucying fell to Zhao Liang's feet.

These days, King Zhao officially became Emperor Zhao.

The Great Chen Empire has officially established its throne.

The ceremony of Emperor's Promotion was naturally very grand and glorious, but what he remembered most about Nguyen Phuc Yingyan was the military parade held after Zhao Liang ascended the throne.

This was the first time he saw so many soldiers carrying muskets, the first time he saw so many cannons, and the first time he saw such neat cavalry.

He knew that such cavalry advancing like a wall on the battlefield was the specialty of Europeans.

I never thought that China also learned it.

The total number of officers and soldiers in the parade exceeded 30,000, and only these 30,000 people, coupled with enough logistics and engineers, could sweep the entire Eastern countries on the front battlefield.

But this is only a small part of Chen Jun.

After watching it, Nguyen Phuc Ying couldn't calm down for a long time.

As soon as he recovered from calmness, Zhao Liang's summoning came again.

This time, Zhao Liang saw his place in Wuying Hall, and together with Nguyen Phuc Ying were summoned, North Korea King Lee Ho and Japanese special envoy Daime Shigeho Shigeho of the Satsuma vassal.

"Pick up the things."

Zhao Liang did not show off his airs or did not make any secrets. He directly asked the secretary to carry the map up.

"I don't know if you have seen the world map, but I think you all should know that there is a ball under our feet. The world map is to flatten the ball."

“This is China.”

Located in the absolute center of the map.

"This is North Korea, this is Japan, this is Annan, and there are Siam, Myanmar, Malay, Luzon, Batavia..."

Zhao Liang pointed to Nanyang from China and looked at the expressions of Li Xu and the other three, "Don't think that this is my intentional drawing your country smaller. Although I can't guarantee that these are absolutely correct, they are not much different. They are definitely more realistic than the maps you made in your own country."

"And these are the worlds we orientals, yellow-skinned and dark-eyed, have known for thousands of years. I am now more accustomed to making them the Eastern world."

"With the East, there is the West. What is the West? The West is the Europeans who have entered in the past three hundred years. They are white people, they have blue eyes and their hair is colorful."

"For example, the Portuguese in Macau, the Spanish in Luzon, the Dutch in Japan and Batavia, and the French in Annan."

"You all saw it with your own eyes. Not to mention cultural traditions, but only to look at appearances. Do you think they are the same as us?"

"These European countries, along with the British, are all here."

“Since the land area, they are all very small, aren’t they?”

"Not to mention the Netherlands, even in Europe, where the territory is small, it is a small country. Britain, France, Spain and Portugal are not big. But do you know how big their colonies are?"

The part that has been covered on the map has been unveiled.

First of all, there are already many European strongholds on the east and west coastlines.

But those little dots obviously could not shock Li Xu and the others, but the Indians were different.

During the Seven Years' War, the British completely defeated the French on the Indian continent. However, although the French Gaul rooster lost miserably, the Indians lost even worse.

"Prassi War!"

"I don't know if you have heard of this war. The British won a significant victory at a very small price, and they won the wealthy lower Ganges plain."

The British bribed Mir Gafar, the military commander of the Bengal Prince Siraj-Ud-Dora in advance. When the Bengal army and the British East India Company army fought in the decisive battle in Plassi, the main Bangladesh army led by Mir Gafar remained unmoved, so that the British only 3,000 troops could defeat the Bengal Prince and Duke six times their army in the decisive battle.

After the Battle of Plassi, Britain invaded Bangladesh and used it as a base for invading other regions.

A few years later, the prince of Bengal Mir Qasim was unwilling to be a puppet of the British and rose up to resist. However, he and Mughal Emperor Alam II's anti-British Allied Forces were defeated by the British after the seven-year war in the decisive battle of Buksar the following year, and the British completely occupied the vast and wealthy Bangladesh in the lower reaches of the Ganges.

"It is at least half of North Korea here, it is flat, with fertile land, abundant water sources, and natural rich products. In a word, this is the foundation of the emperor."

"The British occupied Bangladesh with a real foundation. They had sufficient food and financial resources to expand the colonial army."

"They then rested for only three years before they started war again in Mysore in the south."

"In the past twenty-five years, the British have launched three wars. Although Mysore is still here, his strength has been greatly damaged and he can't last long."

In fact, in the Fourth Mysore War several years later, this country that had been entangled with the British for decades, came to the end of its life.

"While the British fought against South India, they were also fighting against West India."

"The Marat Federation is one of the most powerful indigenous forces in the Indian continent, but they were also defeated by the guns of the British."

"Think about it, if the British defeated Mysore and then defeated Marat, who would be their opponent in the entire Indian country? Where will the British target be targeted at that time?"

"Is it the northern roads of Tibet, the Pamirs, or the sea routes that are convenient for Myanmar, Malacca, and Nanyang?"

"Do you know? Myanmar is now harassed by the British. They support the Armed Forces of the Alakan Army repeatedly harassing Myanmar, creating border disputes and provoking armed conflicts. The purpose is self-evident!"

"So tell me, in the face of such an existence, can the power of your country really resist?"

"North Korea and Japan may not have had a real experience of the power of Europe, but I think King Jiading is different. You should know that the power of the French navy and army is so powerful that France has been ridden by the British."

"Do you feel personally?"

Nguyen Phuc Ying was very responsive, and he was very afraid of the French. It not only comes from military affairs, but also related to faith.

As for faith, it immediately hits Li Xu's heart, and North Korea also has this problem. It's just that he ignored it before, but now Li Xu needs to reuse this group of people.

To some extent, he has a consistent situation with Nguyen Phuc Ying.

After Li Xu, Shigeo Shimazu. The Ichigoku Cult had a bigger mess in Japan. Amakusa Shiro learned about it, and at that time, all the Daming publicly believed in God.

But wasn’t Amakusa Shiro failed? Therefore, the Iron God Cult cannot be said to exist in Japan.

Nguyen Phuc Ying retreated aside. He is now very curious about Emperor Zhao's final intention.

The ultimate goal is definitely extraordinary when laying the groundwork for such a long-term discussion.

He also found that Lee Yoo's face was growing and more intense, which showed that the North Korean king knew some inside information.
