I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Dai Viet was even destroyed in one fell swoop.

It is better not to mention the nearby vassal states, such as Japan and Goryeo.

Looking around, there are no enemies in the Great Zhou?

How is this going?

Li Tian doesn’t understand!

I am clearly trying to ruin the country's destiny, how could the Great Zhou have ended up like this!

What happened to the great Zhou Dynasty?

It must be the problem of these ministers!

Li Tian immediately determined the responsibility!

These guys must be cleaned out!

If they are allowed to continue like this, won't the country's fortunes soar?

Li Tian began to plan how to purge the court.

Just when Li Tian was planning to purge the court and promote treacherous officials to power, Tang Yan, the naval governor stationed in the Kingdom of Thailand, suddenly received a letter with harsh words.

"English?"

Tang Yan threw the letter aside.

"Mr. Governor, this is a warning letter from the West Indies English Company."

"company?"

Tang Yan's assistant is called Chen Chi, who was recruited by Tang Yan in Thailand.

Chen Chi's father was from southern Fujian in Dazhou. Because he couldn't get enough food, he went south to do business.

He made a lucrative fortune in Southeast Asia.

Chen Chi also likes to venture out. After he became an adult, he left his family and wanted to build a business like his father.

Unexpectedly, his fleet encountered storms and accidentally drifted to the Kingdom of Thailand.

While at the port of Thailand, Tang Yan discovered that Chen Chi had been to school and had learned arithmetic from his father.

More importantly, he is fluent in multiple languages.

This guy is a language genius!

He was taught English by a tutor, and the missionary said his accent was the most orthodox.

He also learned the indigenous language of Little Luzon with his study partner.

After drifting to Thailand, he learned Thai, Dutch, Frank, and even a few words of Indian.

Tang Yan certainly needs this kind of language talent.

Tang Yan immediately hired Chen Chi as his aide and sailed west together.

Chen Chi had been stranded in Thailand for almost a year. Thailand was a key transit point in Southeast Asia, with many merchant ships from various countries coming and going.

He certainly knew something about the English.

Chen Chi said: "Now the Dutch and the English are competing on the sea."

"This West India Company was established by a wealthy family in England specifically to colonize and expand India."

"I heard that the West India Company has been granted permission by the King of India to specialize in India's trade."

Tang Yan asked doubtfully: "What does this have to do with us? We are not doing business with Tianzhu."

Tang Yan also took extra classes in Thailand.

In the eyes of Thai merchants, the Indian people in the west were nothing but poor people.

It’s okay that they are poor, but those guys always think they are very powerful.

The Morwa dynasty now rules India.

The emperor's name was Mant.

The Morwa Dynasty was established only a hundred years ago, but the Indians always call themselves a thousand-year-old country.

These guys don't have much to offer except some spices.

These Indians are not only arrogant, but also have no credibility.

Almost everyone who does business with Indians gets cheated.

Therefore, Thai merchants had no intention of trading with their western neighbors at all.

Chen Chi smiled and said, "My Lord, I'm afraid these English people are afraid that our Great Zhou will seize Tianzhu."

Seize Tianzhu? That is, India?

Tang Yan felt puzzled.

The Great Zhou has a vast territory, and the current emperor does not have much desire for colonization.

Except for the campaign against Dai Viet, which had repeatedly rebelled against the Great Zhou, the countries in Southeast Asia maintained their independence.

Even the Kingdom of Thailand only ensured the safety of the merchants of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but did not control the Kingdom of Thailand.

As long as you serve as a dog of the Great Zhou and pay tribute to it, you can get its protection.

But after becoming a dog of the Great Zhou, one must ensure the need for free trade.

What the Great Zhou wants is an economic circle with free trade, not pieces of overseas territories.

Now the trade in the entire South Ocean is booming, and all the countries in the South Ocean are subject to the Great Zhou.

Tang Yan said: "I didn't expect that these English people were so ambitious and had already regarded India as their own territory?"

Chen Chi still has some understanding of England.

Chen Chi said: "England is an island country. I heard that it is comparable to Japan."

"The English are also very similar to the Japanese. The island nation is short of resources, and the English have always had the desire to expand outward."

"Now the English already have many colonies overseas, and they also want to include India in their colonies."

"The whole of Southeast Asia knows what the English are planning."

"Only the King of India still thinks these English people are kind."

Tang Yan asked curiously:

"Why does the Indian king support the English so much?"

Chen Chi said: "I heard that it was the English who helped the Indians defeat the Dutch who came to colonize and expand."

"So the King of India gave the English several ports and allowed them to do business in India."

It turned out to be the case.

After figuring out the relationship between India and England, Tang Yan also understood why the English were so excited.

England had ambitions to colonize India, but India was still powerful, and England was afraid that it could not win, so it had to use small favors to control the Indian king and lease several ports for trade.

However, their intention to reach India can be seen from the fact that they established the West India Company.

With great difficulty, they helped the Indians drive Dahe away.

But the fleet of Da Zhou is coming again.

That's why the English reacted so excitedly.

Chen Chi said, "Sir, if you want to continue west, you must replenish your supplies in Tianzhu."

"look……"

Tang Yan took the letter and tore it to pieces.

He said: "Why didn't these Western barbarians inform us of their colonization through letters?"

"You are afraid of our Great Zhou fleet, so you want to scare us with a letter."

"Pass on my order. The entire army's original plan remains unchanged. Continue sailing westward along Tianzhu!"

"Send someone with the letter from the Great Zhou to inform the King of Tianzhu that he must provide supplies to the Great Zhou's ships."

"If these English people dare to cause trouble, let them know who has the final say in this sea area!"

The fleet of the Great Zhou sailed towards India in a mighty manner.

Garidi, now the headquarters of West India Company in India.

Since obtaining the right to trade in India, tens of thousands of English people have entered India.

Compared with its own country which is resource-scarce and small, India is simply a paradise.

There are abundant resources here, including spices that are particularly valuable in the West.

Westerners have a crazy love for spices.

Spices from India are very popular in the West.

After monopolizing India's trade rights, the English made huge profits far beyond the imagination of the Indians in India.

In pursuit of profit, the English established the West India Company.

This is a unique company, they even have their own fleet.

The main job of the West Indies Company is to infiltrate Indies.
