Today on May 1st, I wish all readers a happy holiday!

At the port of New Ajaccio in Corsica, the "big whale-class transport ships" slowly left the dock. They did not raise their sails, and there was no need to. Driven by propellers, they slowly turned their huge bodies in the harbor and drove slowly outside the harbor. Only after they arrived outside the harbor did they raise their soft sails in the order, which was set out on the expedition of Corsica and were about to defeat the Kingdom of Granada and seize the army of Gibraltar.

Adding Zhao Fubo's own Yulin Army of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Fubo's total of 10,000 soldiers officially set out from Corsica. With him, the French Emperor Louis IX and the people around him would take down the Kingdom of Granada together. Subsequently, the land of this kingdom, except for Gibraltar and the Palace and the Alhambra, the rest of the land will be handed over to King Fernande III at that time.

He was the son of Berenga, the daughter of King Alfonso IX of Leon and King Alfonso VIII of Castia. In 1217, his uncle, Enrique I of the Kingdom of Castia, died. He inherited the throne of King Castia. In 1230, his father Alfonso IX of Castia died, and he inherited the throne of Leon. He then announced the merger of Leon and Castia, called the Kingdom of Castia and the Kingdom of Leon, abbreviated as the Kingdom of Castia.

At this moment, his capital was in Seville, the largest city in Andalusia. He married Elizabeth, the granddaughter of the former Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I. From this perspective, he had some kind of kinship with the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. Of course, the kinship between Europe was discussed earlier and would not affect their political orientation too much.

This will allow more benefits to the entire war. Even Louis IX would still want to maintain his reputation as "Pious Louis". King of Castile, who obtained the land of the Kingdom of Granada, would definitely be willing to assist the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II to deal with the Pope in the name of quelling the war in Europe. Of course, he obtained a large amount of land without bloodshed, and the main force that assisted him would also be the subordinate of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. I believe he would be very envious of the power of the musket force and then become the next potential major customer of the Chinese Empire.

Even King Fernande III did not have to worry too much about his arms payments. Because Andalusia is also one of the world's famous horses, the Andalusian horse. This is a very good war horse and the pride of the European royal family. It is different from the Aldekin horse, known as the bloody horse, and the extremely Arabian horse. Its warm-blooded characteristics make it lasting better. Moreover, Andalusian horses are also the future American horses. After Columbus discovered and landed for the Spaniards, they reached the Americas, which is one of the distant ancestors of American horses now.

Zhao Fubo, who has a special hobby for horse breeds, would not miss this opportunity. Although his cavalry already had Arabian horses and Altergent horses, and Germanic horses mixed with warm-blooded war horses, the Andalusian horse, a natural warm-blooded horse, can further improve the quality of horses used by the cavalry of the Chinese Empire. The reason is that horse breeds are different from human races. After the races are mixed, they will form an advantageous hybrid race due to the combination of excellent genes. However, the purer the horse breeds, the better. In other words, the war horses used by the cavalry of the Chinese Empire will further improve and stabilize their quality due to the addition of Andalusian horses.

In addition, the biggest benefit of conquering here is that by then Zhao Fubo's title of "pagan devil" will disappear. Because he was a person who completely drove the Moors away from Europe, this will bring him praise from kings and dukes of many European countries. Although Zhao Fubo did not have much expectations for this matter, he was more looking forward to the power of the Spanish army to the Pope's rear through the French mainland in the future.

Even if the Pope supervised the war on the front line, when he knew about this, he would have to return to Lyon to take charge, and that was when Zhao Fubo met him. He disliked Zhao Fubo, who advocated technology in the Holy See, but for the future nature of Europe, it must be the raw material origin and the dumping place of industrial goods of the Chinese Empire. Even if he didn't like it, he had to meet him.

With the orders of Zhang Qing, the naval commander stationed in Corsica, a fleet carrying 10,000 people lined up in the Mediterranean. In the middle is the "big whale-class rapid transport ship" and the outer side is an escort formed by the "Qinhuang" warship. The blue waves of the Mediterranean sea are rippling. Under the clear sky, with the "tight sail wind" blowing the sea waves, small waves surged. This has no significant impact on the actions of the entire fleet. On the contrary, the good wind force makes the entire fleet move extremely quickly.

Louis IX was in a happy mood. He had originally worried that this plan to "stricken disasters from the east" would cause unnecessary trouble in the future. But now Zhao Fubo has settled everything, and of course Zhao Fubo also has some small requests for this.

"Your Majesty, it is certainly understandable that you have your opinion on the Holy See. But what I want is a smooth trade route. I think that after the war, any reason that affects the operation of the trade route will not be accepted. I know that speaking like this may lack the respect you deserve, but I want to settle this matter in advance, which will have many benefits for all of us in the future!"

At this moment, Louis IX would not encounter more wars for France itself, and had already felt that there would be enough gains. He also thought that after Zhao Fubo completed these things, there would be no conditions. Louis IX did not agree to the conditions he proposed. He knew that that was the reason Zhao Fubo came to Europe. If it were not for this matter, he would not have any interest in Europe. Moreover, the construction of the "road" in the future would only benefit France and his own rule without any hindrance.

"Of course, of course...!"

He said three "of course" in one breath to show that he had no reservations about Zhao Fubo's ultimate goal. Then he took a document from his wife, Queen Margaret, who was standing beside him.
