Chapter 799

For example, all kinds of demons and ghosts, diseases and pestilences, demons all over the mountains, water ghosts wandering in rivers and swamps, fintels in the shape of elk, Griffins with wings. The dragon, which is tens of meters away and spits fire, is enchanting and beautiful. It can sing attractive songs. It can also cause the mermaid to capsize the ship and the sea demon in the deep sea. The evil mages hiding on the unknown islands, the Necromancers playing with souls, and a warlock Kingdom disgusting and hating the new world. In addition, the mythical reproduction of giant sea monsters, giant snakes, poisonous insects and speechless animals, giants who claim to be from Narnia, and so on, these things, these weird and legends, intensify the mystery of the new world.

However, in addition to these grotesque and strange news, there are all kinds of wealth legends. Such as the mountains of gold, open-air gold and silver gem mines, beautiful exotic beauty, and the adorable unicorn. On the ugly side, there will always be a good side. These grotesque and hearsay did not make the exploration of the new world, new routes and new continent resisted by the people. On the contrary, these rumors and legends exacerbated the development of great navigation.

The discovery of the new world, the new world and the new routes, together with the endless wealth of the European countries in the old world, promoted the highly developed shipbuilding industry. Every year, dozens of new ships were launched, then delivered to the Navy and merchants, set sail, loaded with gold, silver and commodities from the old world, and went to the new world for trade. At the same time, some businessmen occupied the islands with water sources along the road, built docks and houses as a temporary resting place.

Over time, such things have become commonplace. Not only private, but also state supported colonial activities. They occupied the territory of primitive savages and occupied a lot of land with cheap and worthless things. The construction of docks, the construction of walled houses, the settlement of migrants, and the vigorous colonial movement began.

They plant new species from the new world and bring them back to the old world. Some of them make a sensation in the old world in a short time. Others were completely buried by the people of the old continent. However, such as tobacco, coffee, cocoa and other new things, gradually sought after. Europe is short of resources. All kinds of resources are scarce.

The hard sea voyage did not hinder people's desire to get rich. On the contrary, with the passage of time, this feeling became more crazy! The whole old world of Europe, overnight, completely changed. Everyone is keen on overseas business, colonial movement and new world business. With the sea going ships sailing all over the world, they not only brought back a lot of amazing wealth, but also promoted the prosperity of the Mediterranean pirate industry.

Different from the original history, the new world, whether it is resources or environmental space, should be more broad and diverse. Pirates also began to gradually shift, although the robbery in the Mediterranean is fierce. However, there are many countries in the Mediterranean, and the risk of robbery is very high. On the contrary, in the vast sea area, although the cost of robbery increases, the scope of activities also becomes infinitely wide. Some pirates gathered together to seize the island and build cities belonging to pirates. Black market deals, military factories, pubs, hotels, casinos and brothels. All kinds of scum and scum gathered in the old world and the new world, it seems that there are a lot of talents and prosperity for a while.

For a long time, the rise of new great navigation and colonial activities depressed the prosperous Mediterranean trade of the Tang people. But it is not absolute. Although Europe is eager for all kinds of resources in the new continent, it is also eager for resources in the old continent. However, the Tang people were overbearing in the sea of Dizhong, controlling the navigation rights of Egypt and Suez Canal, and controlling the sea trade from the East and the West. Whether it's carpets from Persia, female slaves, gems from India, gold, silk from China, porcelain and tea from China, spices from the East Indies, or slave trade in black Africa! It is bound to enter from Suez, and from other places, the risk is high, and the cost of transportation is also high. After arriving in Europe, the price is a daunting sky high price!

However, these goods, because of the policy of the Tang Dynasty! Every year, there is a fixed quota for the navigation of merchant ships and the trading and transportation of goods. Even if there were all kinds of smuggling, they had to face the brutal naval investigation of the Tang people. Even if they evaded the investigation of the Tang people, the annual smuggling trade could not meet the market demand. On the contrary, because of the scarcity of goods, the price of goods is on the basis of double increase! Moreover, the Tang warships sailed in the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, and even in the South China Sea. They control the main traffic routes, with convenient Suez Canal, transport materials and soldiers very fast.

They are always able to declare their hegemony and landlords in the above-mentioned areas at a critical moment. And for a series of islands on the sea, a series of supply and recreation places were established. The scale of overseas garrison is unprecedented in human history. However, because of the great navigation and geographical discovery, the overseas trade and colonial movement, the goods from the new world, once began to impact the market of the Tang people, and the trade hegemony of the Tang people.

Because of the commodities and gold and silver from the new world, the national strength of the European countries has increased rapidly. The scale of the warships they launch every year, if all of them are added up, is a scale that the people of Tang Dynasty should be awed by! Therefore, the Tang people also searched for all kinds of high-quality shipbuilding wood in various primeval forests and countries in Asia, transported it back to China, processed it into shape, and launched all kinds of warships and merchant ships every year. It is not only to maintain its position as the first naval power, but also to maintain its absolute dominance of Mediterranean trade. At the same time, Tang people began to discuss whether to participate in the new world colonization and trade policy!

Today, the territory of the Tang people, because of the great changes at the beginning, has increased dramatically! At the same time, because of the emergence of the new territory, some of the surplus population has a way to vent. Now, after hundreds of years of emigration and the development of new land, the population of the Tang Dynasty has returned to the previous level. Although the newly opened towns and land were filled and developed by the population, they gradually prospered. However, in the vast land, there are still large areas of land that have not been developed. Still in the state of waste!

Similarly, the territory of the Tang people increased, so did the Mediterranean, and the area of Europe increased to varying degrees. At that time, countries were busy migrating people, resettling and occupying new lands. For hundreds of years, those new lands have been filled with people from all over the world.

At the same time, because of hundreds of years of development and reproduction, the population size of Europe has been very different in history. At the same time, because more land means more resources, the war in Europe has become extremely chaotic again. However, because of the great navigation, more and more idle people have a new environment for export. Therefore, for a time, countries with access to the sea will temporarily focus on overseas. However, the internal countries in Europe still look at each other.

War is imminent!
