In the study of the imperial palace, Taichang stared at the continental map in front of him, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

If he brings more troops this time, can he destroy all the anti-Habsburg alliance countries?

This is really hard to say.

If the continental countries have the same dishes as France and the Netherlands, it might be possible.

However, he also learned about Okundo later that France is not as delicious as it appears on the surface.

The Duke of Richelieu or Louis XIII should have wanted to surrender long ago, so he took the initiative to shrink his troops near Paris and did not make any desperate resistance.

It's obvious that they are not really vulnerable, they just want to preserve their strength.

As for the Netherlands, it is not a good deal compared to other countries in the continent.

They just had bad luck and happened to meet the Ming Navy who was the one who was Tianke and theirs.

The Netherlands' combat power is almost always on the water. Whether it is on the outer sea or in the inland waterway, they can be said to be invincible in continental areas.

Unfortunately, they met the invincible Ming navy. In front of the invincible dreadnought and Aegis ships, the Dutch navy was nothing. In front of the extremely fast Wolf Tooth warships, the small warships on their inland waterway were also garbage.

Therefore, the reason why the Ming Dynasty won a great victory this time was also a great part of luck.

They happened to meet France, who wanted to preserve their strength and the Netherlands, who were naturally restrained by the Ming Dynasty, which made such an amazing record, which scared the anti-Habsburg alliance.

If they really work hard to fight with the Ming Dynasty, they may be able to take down the coastal port city of Daming. It would not be that simple to advance inland.

France will have to pay Spain a price of 100,000 casualties if they fight. If they really fight, the Ming Dynasty will probably have to pay at least 100,000 casualties.

This is just one France. Other countries may be a little worse than France, and probably not much different.

In other words, if the Anti-Habsburg Alliance really wants to fight the Ming Dynasty to the death, the Ming Dynasty will have to pay at least 500,000 casualties.

By this calculation, he had to mobilize at least millions of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp troops to come.

What a pity, he doesn't have so many people to adjust at this moment.

This time it was a real pity. He was not ready to destroy the anti-Habsburg alliance.

Next time, they will face Spain and the Holy Roman Empire.

The strength of the two major powers of the Habsburg dynasty should be similar to the entire anti-Habsburg alliance, otherwise, they would not have been able to fight with the anti-Habsburg alliance for so long.

In other words, next time he will have to bring at least two million troops to defeat these continental robbers!

Moreover, people have developed a steamship, and next time they may even have an armored warship, which will be even more difficult to fight.

This is really a bit of a headache.

He was sighing secretly there, Cao Huachun suddenly walked in quickly and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the fleet of the Atlantic Merchant of the Ming Dynasty is here."

These guys are finally here.

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but stand up and walked out quickly.

At this time, thousands of armed merchant ships from the Atlantic Merchant of the Ming Dynasty were waiting near a row of docks.

There is no way. There are too many ships rented and assembled by Lisbon at this time. Although they have expanded the port terminal, they are still not enough. The port terminals that are enough to dock more than 5,000 ships have basically been fully parked.

If the armed merchant ship of the Atlantic merchant in the Ming Dynasty wants to get on the dock to unload the goods, it has to wait until the merchant ship originally docked on the dock to unload all the goods sent.

Fortunately, the pier where the Imperial is docked is still relatively empty.

This dock, which was enough to dock ten large ships, only docked with one Imperial and three Dreadnoughts.

A flying dragon battleship had already arrived and slowly approached the dock.

When the ladder was lowered, Zheng Chenggong, Sheng Huaixuan, Desera, Carinho and others immediately stepped down and bowed together and said, "See the Emperor."

These two guys actually came too!

Taichang raised his hand slightly and asked, "How is it? What's the situation in South America?"

Carinho couldn't help but excitedly said: "Master, we have taken over the jurisdiction of the Governor General of Peru, and there are many gold, silver and copper mines there. We have made a fortune this time."

He had known about the many copper mines in the jurisdiction of the Governor of Peru for a long time, but he just didn't expect that there were also many gold and silver mines there.

Now, I don’t have to go through the Ming Dynasty’s local area for 5 million kilograms of silver a year.

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Well, it's not bad, Ziru, send someone to call Zhongyong and Desilao over."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's get on the boat first."

Soon, he took everyone to a conference room in the front hall and sat down.

He waved his hand and ordered people to serve fragrant tea, and then continued to ask: "Desera, how are your men and horses killed or killed?"

Desera quickly explained: "Emperor, there are basically no casualties in the men under Weichen.

Because we started by sneak attacks and removed those relatively remote colonial strongholds one by one.

Later, we were all disguised as Spanish colonists and went straight to the city. Before the people could react, we took them down."

Oh, this guy, he learned this trick so purely!

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "Well, there is no casualties. We may have to speed up the progress next, because Felipe IV may turn against us at any time."

When Carinho heard this, he was not afraid, but said in surprise: "Master, what do you mean, we are going to do it?"

You think beautifully!

Taichang shook his head slightly and said, "It's too early to do it. We have to be fully prepared before we can do it, otherwise the current good situation will be wasted.

By the way, are your family business still in progress? How much profit can you make in a year?"

When Carinho heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Weichen's family business is still in progress, but the goods are too difficult to transport. He can earn a million taels a year, and he can barely maintain the expenses of the entire family."

What kind of family are you?

Millions of taels can barely maintain the expenses of your entire family!

Taichang couldn't help but say curiously: "How many people are there in your family?"

Uh, this one.

Carenho said awkwardly: "Our family only has dozens of people, but we hire more people. After all, this business is not about waiting for money, shipping, delivery, custody, selling goods, etc., and it requires too many people."

You need more staff, right?

Just right!

At this time, Wang Chong and Dexilao also came.

Taichang raised his hand and asked them to sit down, and then said solemnly: "Carenho, don't do your family's business, just leave it to Desilau to take over.

After the people of your family hand over the business, they will go to South America to help you control the colonies there.

As for profit, don't worry about this little money. In recent years, we will divide the mineral output in the American colonies in half. When the settlement is almost done, we will help the Indian tribes there to establish a tribal alliance-style country.

At that time, they will share half of the profits, and we will share half of them, each with half of them."

If all the mineral deposits in the colonies in the Americas are developed, the profit will be at least tens of millions of taels in that year. Even if it is half a piece, it will be at least twenty or thirty million taels!

If you exchange millions of taels for 20 to 30 million taels, you will be a fool if you don’t exchange them.

Carinho nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Master, I will write a letter later. Desilau just needs to take over the business there with my letter."

He couldn't go back to Spain now, because Felipe IV thought he was fighting with Duke Braganza in the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Governor.

As for their attack on the territory of the Governor General of Peru, Felipe IV still doesn't know.

Because the Governor of Peru is on the west coast of South America, if they want to spread the news, they must go through the water.

The problem is that the waters north of the Governor General of Peru have been blocked by the Ming Navy.

On the surface, the people of the Ming Navy went to fish, but in fact, they blocked the waters in the northern part of the Governor of Peru and prevented the Spanish colonists' ships from coming to inform us.

As for the south side, the news cannot be spread.

Because there are tens of thousands of miles to the south, and the east coast of South America is basically an area controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

Once they dock, they will be taken down.

Taychang has already arranged this. He doesn't want Felipe IV to receive the news, so Felipe IV will not be able to receive the news.

However, the Governor General of Peru and the Governor General of La Plata in the south cannot always have no news. If it takes a long time, Felipe IV will definitely be suspicious.

Taichang thought for a while and then explained: "In this way, after you go back this time, let the Duke of Braganza write a letter to Felipe IV, saying that many Portuguese rebelled and were running to the territory of the Governor General of Peru.

You also wrote a letter to Felipe IV, saying that you are asking our Ming Dynasty to send troops to pursue and suppress the Portuguese rebels.

Remember to take down the Governor General La Plata as soon as possible and then advance to the Governor General Granada.”

Carinho quickly bowed and said, "I understand."

Taichang then told Desilao: "After you take over Carenho's family business, try to buy as much land in Spain as possible, and turn those spies into Spanish."

Desilao hurriedly bowed and said, "I understand."

Taichang then asked Zheng Zhilong again: "Feihong, how many shopkeepers did you bring in total?"

Oh, the emperor finally remembered me.

Zheng Zhilong quickly introduced: "Your Majesty, as you tell me, this time, I brought a total of six big shopkeepers and fifty shopkeepers at the counter."
