In October of the second year of Jingping in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty expedition fleet arrived in Mexico.

The War in Mexico also broke out at this time!

There is no reason, just fight if you want! When a country is strong enough, it can do whatever it wants.

It doesn't matter whether it's a robber or an invasion.

Force will be the guarantee of all this!

The expedition fleets began to gather and aimed their guns at Mexico. In fact, Mexico was very helpful to Ding Yunyi back then. It was the trade with Mexico that allowed Ding Yunyi to quickly accumulate a lot of wealth.

But there are always only eternal interests between countries, but no eternal friends!

This is a law that will never change.

The Ganrasi people captured Mexico through force. Now it is Ming's turn to use force to take Mexico back from the Ganrasi people!

The Battle of Mexico is a landmark battle, which means that the Ming Dynasty's war has moved from the surrounding areas to the West, and the exploration and conquest of the West has officially begun!

The battle was not particularly fierce. During the battle at sea, the former overlord of the sea, the Ganlusi Fleet, suddenly discovered that its warships were no match for the Ming Dynasty fleet!

After a day of fighting, the Ganrasi people and most of their warships were almost destroyed, and the invincible sea overlord suffered the most shameful defeat.

The destruction of the maritime fleet forced Mexico to face the most direct bombardment of artillery fire.

Alpuerco Port, a port that has welcomed numerous Ming expeditionary trade fleets, was the first to fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty expeditionary fleet.

Now, it's not trade, it's war!

The Ganras people in the Port of Alpuerco watched in horror as batches of expeditionary soldiers landed at the port and quickly conquered the place. The Mexicans, on the other hand, looked on numbly, as if all this had nothing to do with them.

What is the connection between the Ganrasi people or anyone else? Anyway, they are all conquerors.

The newly appointed governor of New Mexico, Stavin, was unwilling to face defeat like this. He knew very well what kind of disaster would be caused to Spain once Mexico was lost.

But the war did not go as he hoped.

A large number of expeditionary fleet crews began to land. They used new muskets to overcome all obstacles. At the same time, they began to mobilize the Mexican indigenous people to bravely stand up against the tyranny of the Spanish.

The Spaniards in Mexico could no longer hold on. They were frequently attacked by Ming expeditionary fleets and frequently attacked by mobilized Mexican locals.

One city after another was captured, and each strategic location was captured. The opportunities for the Spaniards were becoming less and less.

Soon, another expeditionary fleet of the Ming Dynasty arrived in Mexico and landed at the port of Depuria, forming a double flank on the Ganrasi people.

There is not much time left for Starcovin.

In December, with the rapid advancement of the expeditionary force, New Mexico City is already in sight!

Governor Starcovin organized all the forces that could be organized to carry out the final resistance, but in fact, even the Governor himself knew very well that under the attack of the expeditionary force, New Mexico City would never be able to hold on for long.

His judgment was not wrong.

A series of powerful offensives by the Expeditionary Force have caused Ganrasi to suffer a lot. The number of Ganrasi's troops in New Mexico City is too small to withstand the offensive of the Expeditionary Force.

At the same time, more and more local indigenous people in Mexico joined in the siege of the Ganrasi people.

The Ming Dynasty's expeditionary force promised these Mexican indigenous people that once they drive away the Ganrasi people, they will give the Mexicans more freedom, reduce their taxes, and build local strength and education facilities so that they can be fully protected.

!

Even though they only drove away one invader and a new invader came, in any case the new invader could provide them with far better treatment than the old invader.

This is the mentality of people.

So the indigenous people of Mexico decisively joined in the siege of the Spaniards. It felt quite vigorous.

New Mexico City is already in danger.

Starcovin sent several people to negotiate with the expeditionary force, but they were all ruthlessly rejected. Now they have no other choice but to surrender.

By the third day of persistence, Governor Starcovin was completely desperate. Reinforcements could not wait anyhow, and the Spaniards in New Mexico City also put strong pressure on the Governor. He must immediately

Make a decision.

Starcovin knew that there was only one last way left, and that was to surrender.

On December 17, the second year of Jingping in the Ming Dynasty, the Spanish Governor in Mexico, Stacovin, announced his surrender, ending the War in Mexico.

On the same day, Chen Dong, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet, announced that Mexico has become a new colony of the Ming Empire!

Occupying Mexico means that the expeditionary fleet has a reliable supply point and logistics base, which will allow the expeditionary fleet to spread to the West with ease.

At this time, the sea was full of ships from the Ming Empire's expedition fleet. They were constantly opening up new routes, constantly exploring and conquering pieces of land, and constantly plundering the passing European and American fleets.

And all this made the countries in Europe and the West tremble with fear.

Under the strong pressure of the expedition fleet, the Thai and Western countries temporarily abandoned their hostility to each other and truly united together for the first time.

Almost all European and Western countries, including Qian Lasi, Franji, Hongyi, Britain, France, and Venice, signed the "Holy Agreement" with Britain and organized a huge combined fleet.

The "Ten Years' War" between the Ming Dynasty and the European and American countries broke out!

Although the alliance of these countries put a lot of pressure on the Ming Dynasty, to be fair, Spain has declined, Portugal, and the Netherlands no longer have their former glory. Britain has just begun to develop, and the maritime power of France and Venice is by no means strong!

Ming Dynasty is sure of victory, although the process may be longer.

The first battle between the two sides broke out on March 26, the third year of Jingping in the Ming Dynasty.

The 11th Fleet of the Ming Dynasty Expedition encountered the Dutch fleet at sea. The Dutch fleet took the initiative to attack. The commander-in-chief of the 11th Fleet, Hai Nixiong, ordered a counterattack.

Subsequently, the Portuguese fleet arrived for reinforcements. Under the joint attack of the Dutch and Portuguese fleets, the sea mud bear gradually became exhausted! The Dutch issued an order asking the other side to surrender.

Hai Nixiong refused to execute the plan and ordered the entire fleet to set up an assault formation to fight to the death with the enemy ships!

In the afternoon, the Spanish fleet arrived for reinforcements. The enemy's combined fleet surrounded the Eleventh Fleet from several directions. Hai Nixiong knew that it was beyond its capabilities. He began to order the fleet to evacuate, while he was entangled with the enemy ships.

.

Most of the battleships of the 11th Fleet rushed out, but Hainixiong was surrounded.

Hai Nixiong, who once again refused to surrender, fought desperately. After sinking three enemy warships, he and his warships finally gloriously completed their historical mission!

Until the moment the battleship sank, no one from Hai Nixiong or his brothers on the battleship surrendered!

The news of the death of Haini Bear quickly reached the ears of most of the soldiers of the expedition fleet, and great sorrow and anger arose in the hearts of these soldiers.

Hai Nixiong was one of the first veterans of the Pirate Alliance when it was founded. He made countless contributions to the King of Martial Arts Ding Yunyi. But now he died on this foreign sea.

Revenge! Revenge!

The call for revenge soon spread among almost all the expedition fleets!

The most brutal revenge has begun! The expedition fleet begins to search for the shadow of enemy warships. Once discovered, it will mercilessly annihilate them and refuse to accept the surrender of the enemy on the warship!

In just one month, the combined fleet lost more than twenty warships.

On the third day of May, the Twelfth Expeditionary Fleet commanded by Yishu successfully captured a Dutch fleet and launched an active attack on it as soon as possible.

Since then, expedition fleets and combined fleets from various places have sent reinforcements to this sea area.

A sea battle breaks out!

In this great sea battle, more than thirty fleets from the expedition fleet arrived at the battlefield. They frantically threw their cannonballs at the enemy warships, hitting the combined fleet heavily again and again.

Under the attack of the expedition fleet, the combined fleet suffered heavy losses.

After losing the thirtieth battleship, the combined fleet finally couldn't stand it any longer and withdrew from the battlefield in embarrassment.

And this is just the beginning! The revenge of the Ming Expedition Fleet is far from over.

Subsequently, the expedition fleet had more than 60 large and small naval battles with the combined fleet in this year, with more victories than fewer defeats.

The British and French finally sent their warships!

The situation in Thailand and Spain is in chaos!

While the expedition fleet and the combined fleet were fighting, the new Ming expedition fleet set out from the country again. This time their destination was very clear:

Occupy most of the colonies of the "Holy Alliance" and attack all merchant ships of the "Holy Alliance". Completely defeat these countries economically!

The Holy Alliance responded to the war in embarrassment, losing their colonies piece by piece, and their economy was suffering the heaviest blow.

At this time, the country of Ming Dynasty was developing rapidly.

Factories were built one after another. Groups of workers were trained! Ming Dynasty's politics, economy, and culture were booming along a new path.

In the third year of Jingping Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, the steam engine came into being in the capital of the Ming Dynasty!

The advent of the steam engine was not only widely used in the mining industry, but also rapidly promoted in smelting, textiles, machine manufacturing and other industries. It increased the textile output of the Ming Dynasty several times and provided a large number of consumer goods for the market.

This not only accelerated the accumulation of funds, but also put forward urgent requirements for the transportation industry.

At the same time, the era of the Industrial Revolution also began in the Ming Dynasty!

The advent of the steam engine also made it possible to create ironclad ships powered by steam engines. The era of giant ships and cannons will soon come!

To this end, the regent of the Ming Dynasty invested a lot of manpower and material resources to assist the Chinese and foreign scientists in the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty at all costs.

Once steam ironclads appear in advance, the Ming Empire's absolute hegemony at sea will be determined in one fell swoop.

In the fifth year of Jingping, the first steam ironclad ship was launched, but the test failed. However, this did not affect the mood of the scientists. They believed that with the full support of the Ming Dynasty, they would be able to succeed.

In the sixth year of Jingping, the war with the "Holy Alliance" has entered its third year. Relying on the fierce battle at the front of the expedition fleet, the Ming Dynasty captured the colonies of the European and Western countries one after another.
