In fact, from the moment when the hundreds of large fleets of the Tang people left the port, whether they were the Tang people themselves or the businessmen from foreign countries, they had understood one thing at the moment, that is, the Tang people, a great power that has been in peace for hundreds of years, are about to show their fangs and force to the whole world.
This is not only the intention of Tang people, but also the expectation of European countries. They are also eager to understand the strength of the Mediterranean dragon. The case of Castile is not only a tentative scene for Castile, but also a scene expected by all countries. Through a small event, step by step to test the bottom line of the Tang people; If a big country, a powerful country, can tolerate the infringement of its own interests by a weak country far inferior to itself, will it still be a powerful country?
No, certainly not a great power. That will only lead to more disasters, more countries with bad intentions will rush in, and then step by step seize the interests of a powerful country. It will also make them have the mind they shouldn''t have, and guess what''s wrong with this powerful country. How can they tolerate their small actions? Then, it will eventually lead to a feast of partition!
Although the Tang people had several warships with a scale of nearly 1000 in the Mediterranean, and more than tens of thousands of merchant ships, they almost monopolized the trade activities of the whole world! No matter the ancient oriental countries, the Indian peninsula, or the Spice Islands, they were monopolized by the Tang people. Since the Fatima Dynasty of Egypt was seized by the Tang Dynasty, including Suez, there were many domestic contradictions, and then it was replaced by the TURUN Dynasty; After a short time, the Tang people stormed the whole territory of Egypt and turned Egypt into a province of their own.
In that war, land and sea entered hand in hand, with a total of about 100000 troops, attracting world attention! The whole process of the Tang Dynasty''s taking all the territory of Egypt was also extremely easy. Within three months, they completely defeated the Egyptian resistance. Then, he turned Egypt into a province, completely monopolized the Suez Canal trade, and then completely monopolized the trade between the East and the West.
It was also because of that war that the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty and the Mediterranean trade rules were recognized by all countries, and the status of a powerful country was incomparable, and no one dared to compete.
With the passage of time, because of the dissatisfaction and envy of the huge benefits of the Tang people''s domination of the East-West trade, countries began to explore a new direct route to China, and then shared a part of the Tang people''s huge trade share. Unexpectedly, many countries sailed out one after another, but few ships could come back. Castile''s only ship that sailed back brought a shocking news to Europe.
Agallite, a navigator from Italy, was hired by Castile to explore new routes. Although he did not find the route to China, he unexpectedly found the legendary spirit. And with the ship brought a huge elves goods, not only luxury goods, art, but also elves'' books, words and paintings, showing the mysterious world of elves all over the world.
This makes some countries who have always thought that the whole huge world is only human race know that in the vast sea, there is an ancient and highly developed intelligent race - elves!
And Castile will choose to sell most of the goods from elves in his own country. His careful thinking has long been known by all countries. They just want to break the trade monopoly of the Tang people by finding the news of the spirit. All countries are also looking forward to the reaction of the Tang people, and they are also calculating their own small abacus in their hearts.
The Tang people, obviously, did not disappoint them.
Because a large sub fleet with hundreds of warships is heading towards Castilla''s port of Seville. They are large, well staffed, well-equipped, and the spectacular impact of hundreds of large fleet sailing on the Mediterranean Sea has long been known by the eyes of all countries. Then, these spies rushed back to their own country by speedboat to report the news to the monarchs and nobles.
Although all countries have known for a long time that the naval ships of the Tang Dynasty were huge, they were still frightened by the scale of such a huge fleet; Because no matter how many times they have heard it, they have never witnessed it. But their envoys, through their own eyes, depicted this magnificent and spectacular scene to the monarchs!
The huge fleet sailed for a few days. When it looked far away, the magnificent sight of masts and luxurious sails made of white silk carrying the wind shocked the whole Europe! Then, the approaching fleet finally panicked the tax officials and businessmen at the port of Seville. Because this huge naval fleet is obviously not good at coming! After that, a fast horse came out of Seville quickly and ran to Toledo.
Many merchant ships berthed in Seville port began to leave the port under the command of the panicked captain, and stayed far away in the open sea to observe. And those merchant ships who have not yet entered the port have long evaded at the first time when they found the huge fleet. And the Castile Navy, which is moored in the port of Seville, dare not leave the port at all! Subsequently, the huge Chinese Navy gradually approached the port of Seville, and then hundreds of fleets began to change their formation. Some of them were on the alert in the open sea, and some of them blocked the channel into the Mediterranean Sea in the Strait of gibraltarian. And the fleet with the largest number blocked the port of Seville and prepared to attack in the open sea!
The arrival of a powerful navy makes the formerly prosperous port of Seville extremely depressed in an instant! The clamorous harbor is now silent. No one dares to go back to the street again, and the Castile Navy, which is moored in the harbor, is still in the state of berthing and setting sail. The navy soldiers are hiding in the barracks on the shore with the Army soldiers.
After that, a small boat was put down from the flagship of the Tang Dynasty, and several soldiers escorted an emissary to land. The emissary, dressed in gorgeous costumes and with a proud face, marched to Castile''s barracks. Later, he met with the highest noble officials of Seville port, and announced the severe reprimand and orders from the Tang monarch! And asked to meet Alfonso X of Castile, threatened to read the order from the Tang emperor in the royal castle of Toledo!
Yes, it''s the order, for these white people; As the people of Tang Dynasty became stronger and stronger, their spirit was also linked with their national strength and force. When dealing with Castile, the envoys, relying on the powerful power of their own country, can brazenly despise their country. Not only in front of the noble officials, but also in front of Alfonso x, read the order from their monarch!
The final result is beyond everyone''s expectation.
Because of the news of the spirit, the challenge to the trade hegemony of the Tang people was officially ended! The Tang people also declared their unshakable status to the whole Mediterranean with their own strength and actions. In just a few hours, they assembled hundreds of fleets, which shocked the whole Europe and North Africa! The European countries, however, could not do as the Tang people did, and the speed of mobilizing and assembling troops was so fast.
Although there was no war this time, it also gave countries a glimpse of the strength of the tip of the iceberg. The goods that Castile got from the Elves were also brought by their merchant ships to the ports of the Tang people for trading. The emperors and nobles of the Tang Dynasty also began to observe these goods from the elves, which made them marvel. Whether it''s luxury goods or all kinds of crafts and weapons, the people of Tang Dynasty admire and are extremely vigilant at the same time! Luxury is good, not worth their vigilance, they are wary of the elves that show the tip of the iceberg weapons! The smelting and forging of these weapons are far beyond their comparison. Although it is impossible to cut off the weapons made by them at one time, the people of Tang Dynasty marvel at their construction technology and smelting level.
Thus to that still mysterious incomparable spirit, in curiosity at the same time also had guard! At the same time, Tang people also sprouted the idea of foreign exploration. Although there are, but very weak. Because Tang people are confident that even if European countries find elves, it is impossible to shake their position and challenge their trade rules in a short time!
