The Ganchao fleet had just left Japan and returned to China, and the Spanish fleet arrived in Edo Bay again.

Because Gao Huan instructed the Zheng family to collect Luzon, the Spaniards lost their only colony in the Far East, causing a huge change in the maritime situation.

This change has affected Japan and opened its doors hundreds of years ahead of schedule.

Spain controls the silver mines in South America. The silver they mine must be valuable and must be used to purchase products, otherwise it will be a pile of stones.

Now the only thing that can provide goods in the world is Ganchao. Spain cannot give up purchasing goods from China.

For an agricultural civilization like China, it can survive without trade, but for civilizations in various European countries, they will die if they do not trade.

Now Spain has lost Luzon and has been sanctioned by the North Korea, so it is impossible to directly purchase Chinese products.

In this case, the more money they dig in South America, the more domestic inflation will be.

Although it cannot be purchased from China, Spain can also buy from Portugal and the United Kingdom, the price is too high.

The silver mines in South America were dug by Spain for almost two hundred years. The silver mines gradually dried up and became increasingly difficult to mine. In addition, the Habsburg dynasty in Spain owed a large amount of foreign debt, so they could not bear the exploitation of middlemen and could not lose the colonies in the Far East.

At that time, Ottoman Türkiye captured Constantinople and blocked the connection between the West and China. In order to obtain Chinese goods, the West embarked on a great voyage and looked for new routes to China.

Now that Luzon is being taken away, Spain needs a new colony in the Far East to obtain Chinese goods.

At this time, Ganchao fleet left Japan and sailed towards China. He did not know about the Spanish fleet and the arrival of Japan.

Gao Huan didn't know that the influence he had appeared had expanded from China to overseas.

At this time in Nanyang, the original maritime pattern was also broken.

In Western Europe, with the rise of Britain, the maritime battle between Britain and the Netherlands has begun.

Originally, the struggle between Britain and the Netherlands would last for many years, and the Netherlands would completely decline, and they would have to wait until the third British-Dutch War failed. However, after Gao Huan intervened, the speed of the Netherlands declined significantly accelerated.

After Ganchao announced sanctions against the Netherlands, the revenue of the Dutch East India Company decreased by 70% to 80%. The news came back to the Netherlands, causing the stock price of the Dutch East India Company to collapse and give the Dutch economy a heavy blow.

The British, who had long wanted to challenge the Dutch maritime hegemony, declared war directly on the Netherlands under the leadership of the Duke of Protector Cromwell, and the first British-Dutch war broke out early in Western Europe.

Due to the severe decline in revenues of the Dutch East India Company, the Dutch stock market plummeted, making it very difficult for the Netherlands to face the UK.

In the Far East, after the British were back-stripping the West-Holland fleet, they had already begun to attack Malacca.

Ganchao, the capital.

Just after the New Year, Gao Huan resumed work and began to deal with the backlog of government affairs last year.

Last year, Gao Huan fought in Hedong and spent most of his time in the north. After the incident in Hedong, he went to Denglai to inspect and arranged a fleet to go to Japan. When he returned to the capital, it was already the New Year.

Early in the morning, Gao Huan had breakfast and came to the imperial study room. Soon, Li Yan and others came outside the study room.

"Your Majesty! Li Yizheng has arrived!" a palace maid reported.

Gao Huan thinks it is really cruel to make people become eunuchs and lose the fun of men.

Therefore, Gao Huan ascended the throne and became the empress, and issued an order to stop recruiting eunuchs from the court, and gradually all female officials were appointed in the palace.

Gao Huan put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Let them come in!"

Soon, Li Yan led a group of officials in and saluted: "I will pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Gao Huan waved his hand, so that everyone would not have to be polite, "Sit down! Have refreshments!"

Li Yan and others sat down on both sides, waiting for the palace maids to bring refreshments, and after they stepped out, Gao Huan said, "Time flies, and in this flash, it's the third year of Longwu. As the saying goes, the plan for one day lies in the morning, and the plan for one year lies in the spring. I have summoned you all today, mainly because there are several things to be ordered, and the cabinet will implement it within this year!"

"Your Majesty, please give me your best, and I will do my best!" Li Yan sat upright, and the officials beside him picked up paper and pen and prepared to take notes.

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "The first thing is naturally to attack the Tang Dynasty!"

"Last year, Your Majesty defeated Li Jiyu in Hedong, and the elite troops of the Tang army suffered great losses. Your Majesty attacked Tang this year, I agree!" Li Yan nodded: "Now the Tang Dynasty's vitality is seriously damaged. After being delayed for a long time, Li Jiyu recovered his vitality. If we go to Guanzhong again, we will have great resistance.

Gao Huan nodded, "I have discussed with many of the great ministers of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and believe that the time for attacking the Tang Dynasty should be set after the autumn harvest. In this way, it will not affect the farming season. Secondly, the Yellow River freezes in winter and the army can enter northern Shaanxi from Hedong. Now I hope the cabinet can allocate grain and grass and military funds as soon as possible, and prepare for the expedition before the autumn harvest. Do you understand?"

During the Battle of Hedong, Li Jiyu was injured, and this year was the best time for Gan Chao to destroy Tang.

If it was early, Gan Chao was not ready yet, and if it was late, Li Jiyu would recover his strength.

Therefore, after the autumn harvest, it is the best time to attack. Ganchao has enough time to prepare, and the Tang army is not enough to restore its troops and combat effectiveness.

Li Yan saluted and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, the cabinet will be ready for the army to set off before the autumn harvest."

"The matter of attacking the Tang Dynasty will be decided for the time being." Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction: "Now I am talking about another thing. Last year, Zheng Sen captured Manila City and successfully recovered the entire Luzon Island, completing the five-year agreement ahead of schedule! Although I do not plan to go back on my word and take back Taiwan in advance, the forces of Zheng Zhilong and the Zheng family should still move to Luzon as soon as possible!"

Li Yan said: "Your Majesty, this matter is probably not that easy to deal with! Zheng Zhilong has always lived in Xiamen and is obviously very nostalgic about the Central Plains. If we ask the Zheng family to hand over Taiwan and coastal islands in advance, it may cause conflicts."

Gao Huan pondered for a while when he heard the words, "According to the detailed work sent outside the pass, news came that the Dutch had colluded with the Qing Dynasty. Now Hong Chengchou is using the Dutch to build guns, cannons and warships for them, and help them train their troops!"

Gao Huan paused, "This is not good news for big deals! Now that the British are attacking Malacca, and if the Zheng family's power is transferred to Luzon, the Dutch in Southeast Asia will definitely face huge pressure to reduce aid to the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, I hope the Zheng family will go to Luzon as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Li Yan pondered: "Your Majesty, the cabinet tried to communicate with Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen, and persuaded them to go to Luzon as soon as possible!"

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Well, go and do it as soon as possible!"
