Looking at the brand new task list, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.
Although the progress bars of other countries have not made much progress, Japan has been filled up first.
Moreover, he has already mastered the trick of brushing up the progress. Comparatively speaking, the following countries should be easier to brush up.
At the same time, in the past two years, the Ming Royal Navy fleet has begun to rush out of Asia and into the world.
The British Navy has been completely devastated after two major defeats. At the very least, if it saw the Ming Navy at sea, it would basically have to take a detour.
As for the remaining countries, their navies are even more vulnerable. When it comes to navies in the entire world, the Ming Navy dares to call itself the second in the world, and no one dares to call it the first.
these two years
Throughout the world, if there is a dispute between any country, the Ming Navy will consciously go to defend it, and is nicknamed the international police by countries around the world.
To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang was not satisfied with this name. According to his naming logic, it should be called the Ming Dynasty Guards for World Peace, or the World Health Army for short.
The progress of the conquest of countries such as Britain, France, and the United States, as well as the progress of the entire world, was achieved through the use of the navy in the past two years.
In the process, Zhu Yuanzhang also discovered new uses for this system list.
As long as the degree of conquest of that country decreases, there is no surprise. Someone in this country must be plotting something detrimental to the Ming Dynasty again.
And this is not just one or two people, there must be enough people.
According to the rules summarized by Zhu Yuanzhang, every 1% decrease means that at least 10,000 people participated.
To be honest, it is very difficult to keep such a large-scale rebellion secret. As long as something unusual is found, send people to investigate, and the investigation will be accurate.
When allocating fields to Japan, Zhu Yuanzhang used the system panel to conquer changes in progress and successfully killed two rebellions involving tens of thousands of people in the cradle.
Now Japan has finally been taken care of, and even the entire Southeast Asia, as far as half of the Pacific Ocean including the Hawaiian Islands, has been completely included in the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence.
Next, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally began to focus on Europe.
To be honest, Europe right now is a mess.
Tsarist Russia and France have formed an alliance and are jointly restraining the development of Germany. Austria-Hungary and Tsarist Russia have serious territorial disputes. Italy is wavering. The United Kingdom is standing aside to fan the flames, hoping that several countries on the European continent will start fighting soon.
But in the end, war never broke out on a large scale.
The main reason is that although Germany has moved towards unification ahead of schedule with the secret assistance of Ming Dynasty, it is not strong enough. Bismarck does not feel that the time for war has come.
He still needs to continue to accumulate strength.
But this made Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been watching with cold eyes for seven or eight years, a little impatient.
How can he just make a small fuss? If Europe doesn't become chaotic, how can he conquer the world!
There was no other way, his mission time was limited, and since these guys didn't want to fight, he had no choice but to take the initiative...
Europe
Paris France.
It has been two years since Shen Wansan came here.
Through his unremitting efforts in development and marketing, the name of Holy Pearl has become famous in Paris and even throughout France.
This kind of crystal clear holy bead that also emits pure white light at night has won the common favor of all nobles.
The most important thing is that this thing is not only beautiful to look at, but the tea made from this thing can not only prolong life, but also have a promoting effect on men. Several men have sworn that after taking the tea made from the holy beads, they have regained their health. Rediscovered the virility of a young man.
Although this sounds a bit nonsense, it may actually have some effect!
After all, Reiki can indeed cure all diseases and improve all aspects of the body's abilities.
Although it might be an illusion, it did make Shen Wansan's business get better and better.
Of course, the most regrettable thing is that this kind of holy bead cannot be mass-produced, and the monthly output is quite limited. It is made from extremely expensive medicinal materials and a mysterious ancient Chinese prescription.
Although most Westerners have no idea what this means, it's pretty cool.
After all, now that the ancient empire in the East has risen again, China has once again set off a craze in the world. Many people are full of yearning for this country with a completely different civilization from the West, and are in awe of it.
"Carver, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" On this day, Shen Wansan, who received Zhu Yuanzhang's action instructions, called one of his assistants to the office and spoke with a heavy face.
"Bad news!"
"Boss, I'm in a good mood today. I hope your bad news won't affect my good mood!" Carver joked.
"The bad news is that the Holy Pearl can no longer be produced!"
"One of the wild and precious medicinal herbs cannot be found." Wan San said in a low voice.
"Oh, God!"
"How can this be!"
"Boss, are you lying to me?" Carver felt that his sky suddenly turned dark.
He was originally just a homeless man sleeping on the streets of Paris. If the Chinese boss hadn't taken a fancy to his unique temperament and asked him to help sell holy beads, he might have starved to death on the streets.
He originally thought that his good luck had just begun, but he never imagined that just after a year of great life, he would be facing the risk of unemployment again.
"But the good news is that I still have the last batch of holy beads here. It's not too many. There are more than twenty. They can be sold to you at the current market price. After all, you have been following me for a long time, so I can't treat you badly. about you."
Carver was stunned when he heard this, and then showed ecstasy.
If news spreads that the Holy Pearl is out of stock, the price will definitely skyrocket. If he sells it then, won't he make a lot of money?
"The boss is such a good person!" Carver thought with a moved face.
After Carver left with the precious holy beads, Shen Wansan calmed down his emotions and called his other assistant over.
"Ma Li, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" When a blond girl entered the office, Shen Wansan had already returned to his original state, and started his new life with a heavy face. Round performance.
I met with more than 20 assistants in a row.
Shen Wansan quietly left Paris and prepared to continue his performance in another city.
In the past two years, his Holy Bead sales network has spread all over Europe, and there are many assistants waiting for him to fool... It should not be said that it is a sad news that the Holy Bead can no longer be produced.
Soon, the news that the holy beads, which had gradually become popular throughout Europe, could no longer be produced because of the raw materials, spread throughout France and Europe.
In an instant, the price of the holy beads, which were not cheap in the first place, began to soar again.
While Shen Wansan arranged for people to push up the price of the holy beads, he also began to buy them in a small range.
Gradually, smart people discovered this business opportunity.
Also started buying accordingly.
Then Shen Wansan started the first round of shipments.
Then after waiting for the first round of saturation of the market, he followed the same pattern and began to buy in a small range at high prices again, while exaggerating the miraculous effects of the holy beads.
Even the saying that the holy beads are comparable to gold gradually began to spread in the market.
After all, the Holy Pearl can no longer be produced, but its effect is so miraculous, if one is used less, it is comparable to gold!
Then the price started pushing higher again.
Shen Wansan saw the right opportunity and began secretly shipping again.
Unknowingly, some people had accumulated a large number of holy beads in their hands. These people became Shen Wansan's allies, and they also began to advocate the collection value and medicinal value of the holy beads.
The rumors are getting more and more exaggerated. Some people even say that terminal illnesses were cured after drinking the water soaked in holy beads.
This time the Holy Pearl's popularity has really been completely stirred up.
Some factory owners even mortgage their factories in order to invest and make quick money.
After all, in the eyes of many people, the possibility of the price of this thing falling is very small. It will only rise but not fall in the future. If you buy it now, you will sell it in a few days.
This is a huge profit. Isn't such a huge profit better than running a factory?
It was under this circumstance that Shen Wansan started to ship goods on a large scale again. Of course, he was very vigilant and his shipments were also very hidden. At first, he did not attract many people's attention.
He even used these holy beads to exchange the ownership of several factories.
But as he continued to ship goods, there were more and more holy beads on the market.
Until a big nobleman who held a large number of holy beads was in urgent need of money and was ready to sell some of the holy beads, so he placed an order on the trading market...
Then, he was surprised to find that no one was buying it in the market.
He didn't believe in evil and started to cut prices on a small scale, but still no one cared.
His whole body felt cold and he started to cut prices again...
Some large investors who held a large number of Holy Beads were immediately alarmed when they saw this situation, and also began to sell Holy Beads.
The market began to panic and more and more people began to sell.
It wasn't until this moment that people discovered that everyone had stocked up on large quantities of holy beads.
So many holy beads suddenly appeared on the market, and the price of the holy beads was immediately cut in half.
Countless people lost their money overnight and lost everything.
But the initiator of all this, Shen Wansan, who had swept most of Europe's wealth, quietly left the scene and disappeared without a trace.
Do you think this is the end?
not at all.
With a large amount of funds being withdrawn, countless factories in Europe began to have problems with their capital chains and were forced to go bankrupt. The whole of Europe entered the Great Depression.
At this time, Shen Wansan once again entered the market with funds in hand and began to buy bankrupt factories, land, buildings, and even some arsenals throughout Europe.
It was only then that many people became aware that the initiator of all this was actually the distant Eastern Empire.
Some people began to resist and called on the government to take action to bring these scammers to justice and return their wealth.
And at this time, the only European country that had not been harvested by the Holy Pearl showed its minions.
In accordance with the agreement with Ming Dynasty, Germany took the lead in launching a war, occupied Luxembourg, and began to attack France.
The confused French Emperor Napoleon III shouted to Germany from a distance: "We are about to fight with the Orientals, why are you hitting me?"
"We are from a European country, why are you helping an outsider?"
Bismarck, the iron-blooded chancellor of Germany, curled his lips and expressed his disdain for this clown.
Needless to say, why should we stand on the side of the Orientals? Of course it is for profit.
The Orientals were thousands of miles away from Europe, and they were also late-developing countries. The Ming Dynasty had almost no colonies in Africa and South America, and would only be Germany's allies.
What about the UK and France?
As the first countries, these two countries almost divided Africa.
Germany has been watching the continuous flow of raw materials being transported to Britain and France every day and integrating into the industrial blood of both countries. It has been a waste for a long time.
Now that he has the opportunity to defeat these two countries, how could he let it go?
In a word, I have disliked you for a long time.
I just want to fight, do whatever you want!
France had no choice but to respond.
Germany's war against France was like a signal, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had signed an offensive and defensive alliance with Germany, declared war on Tsarist Russia almost at the same time.
The First World War broke out thirty years early.
However, unlike the original World War I, an anomaly broke in this time.
The Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty sailed into the European battlefield on the pretext of protecting the Ming Dynasty's state-owned assets. It first secretly attacked and sank more than 60 British armored warships, gained control of the sea, and then blocked the English Channel and began to land in the UK.
To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang has long wanted to fight against the British.
This country is the most aggressive in invading China, and now is the time to let it taste what it feels like to be invaded.
Since then, the situation in which the British and French forces fought against the Germans in World War I was destroyed by the intervention of the Ming Empire.
The situation on the European continent became France fighting Germany alone.
There is no doubt that France began to lose ground.
After three months of fighting, French Emperor Napoleon III fled to Switzerland and France surrendered.
Germany began to take action to deal with Tsarist Russia on the other side.
At this moment, Alexander II is still in power in Tsarist Russia. Although he was defeated by the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield in the Far East, that was because his territory was too vast and the Far East was too far away for him to reach.
But now the battlefield is happening right under his nose.
Tsarist Russia began to show its terrifying combat power and started a fierce battle with Germany on the European battlefield.
"Commander, should we send the army to the European continent to help defeat the Tsar?" Zhu Feng, who had been promoted to a third-level commander, asked eagerly.
"help?"
"of course not!"
Chang Yuchun smiled and said: "Our main focus now should be on Britain. Your Majesty means to take advantage of the outbreak of the civil war on the European continent to completely kill him."
"Even if you can't kill him, you still have to cripple him completely. We are still far from this goal now!"
"And Germany is not a truly reliable ally. Now it is fighting to the death with Tsarist Russia, which is good!"
"It's best to fight so that both sides suffer. When the time comes, we can just come forward to mediate." Chang Yuchun recalled the instructions His Majesty gave him before leaving, and couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of his mouth.
