Philip IV was indeed scared by the huge military force of the Ming Empire, but he did not doubt this number. He knew about the war between the Ming Empire and Tsarist Russia. In the end, the Ming Empire stationed 1.5 million troops and scared the anti-Habsburg alliance to sign the compensation contract obediently. It was no secret that the Ming Empire stationed 1.5 million troops and scared him.

You should know that the total amount of compensation in the "Wushan Treaty" is terrifying 150 million taels. If the great powers have the ability to resist, they will never sign this unprecedented compensation treaty. This further confirms that the Ming Empire did indeed host 1.5 million troops near Wushan, plus the Eurasian Canal, Eurasian Railway, South Asia, and South Asia, and the Ming Capital. The Ming Empire has more than 2 million troops, which is not exaggerated at all.

As for the number of naval forces, he was also very skeptical, because the Ming Empire had sent three fleets, and there was one fleet in the Eurasian Canal and the Mediterranean. In addition, the Ming Empire had two fleets blocked by ice in the Ob River. It was told by Gaston that the rice bucket told him. There was no need to doubt this. There were also the Nanyang and the eight fleets near the capital of the Ming Dynasty. These were all conservative statements.

To be honest, he was really a little scared at this moment. At this time, he turned to the anti-Habsburg alliance and broke up with the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire's ruthlessness towards the enemy was also famous. Tsarist Russia just sneaked into one of their border posts, and before it was captured, it attracted crazy revenge from more than one million Ming troops. It was scary to think about it!

He began to be a little shaken. He was still biased towards the Ming Empire between the Anti-Habsburg Alliance and the Ming Empire. However, the conditions proposed by the Anti-Habsburg Alliance were a rare opportunity for rise, and it was really a bit difficult for him to choose.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to delay it first and take a look. This time the Ming Empire sent a second person to Madrid. There must be something important. He couldn't help but ask: "Master Marshal, I wonder what you are coming to Madrid this time?"

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, hesitated for a moment. Should he mention the emperor's affairs first or his own affairs first?

At this time, he was still quite sober, and soon the emperor gained the upper hand in his heart. After all, the two of them have been playing together since childhood, and they are really more close than brothers. For a woman, they delayed the emperor's affairs and could not do it. So, he looked upright and said seriously: "This time, I am here to negotiate with you on the order of our Emperor's Majesty to build a large shipyard and ammunition factory in your country."

As soon as he heard this, Philip IV immediately became interested. He knew how difficult it was to build super battleships. Spain has worked hard for so many years, but now it can only barely build ten super battleships a year, which is difficult to do. Now, I heard this, the Ming Empire wanted to help them build large shipyards for super battleships. I couldn't find it. He asked with interest: "How big is the large shipyard?"

Zheng Chenggong replied word by word: "Produce 100 super battleships a year!"

When Philip IV heard this, his eyes were almost glaring out. He produced 100 super battleships a year. The Ming Empire was not crazy, right? He asked in a little incredible way: "Are you sure that a 100 super battleships a year?"

Zheng Chenggong nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, our Emperor of the Ming Empire never jokes."

After receiving a positive answer, Philip IV was so excited that he produced 100 super battleships a year. In just ten years, it would be a thousand. At that time, the anti-Habsburg Alliance was nothing.

After suffering a loss, he understood the importance of the navy even more. For example, this time, more than 100 super battleships were killed by the Anti-Habsburg Alliance, and they were blocked directly by others and could not even go out. There were huge colonies overseas, but no resources could be transported back. Not to mention how frustrating it was.

Large shipyards, good, the bigger the better.

However, he was excited for a while and suddenly came to his senses. There was no good thing in the world that was in vain. The Ming Empire could not give him a large shipyard for free, and there must be other requirements later.

Thinking of this, he calmed down his excitement and said calmly: "Master Marshal, the Ming Empire cannot give us a large shipyard for free. What are the conditions, tell me."

Zheng Chenggong thought about it, but not only did he not answer, but instead reminded him: "His Majesty the King, our Ming Empire will also help you build a large ammunition factory specializing in the production of shells and gunpowder."

This is also a good thing. Philip IV became even more nervous. It seems that the conditions must be so high that it is scary. He couldn't help but tremble: "Tell me about the conditions."

Zheng Chenggong picked up the simplest one after hearing this and said, "We hope His Majesty the King can provide ammunition for the army. After all, it takes time for ammunition to be transported from the Ming Dynasty, and sometimes it will directly affect the situation of the war."

This is not very difficult. Spain has sufficient reserves for producing ammunition. Philip IV nodded lightly and said, "No problem, as long as the ammunition factory is big enough. If it isn't big enough, I can't produce it. What else can I do?"

Zheng Chenggong heard this and continued to increase his quota: "We hope His Majesty the King can provide us with food and grass. After all, it will take time for food and grass to come from the Ming Dynasty."

This is a bit exaggerated. Just kidding. Now the Ming Empire has sent 600,000 troops to come. If we send 600,000 troops to destroy Spain, Philip IV hesitated and said: "It is impossible to provide all of them. We are not very good at food and grass, and we can provide at most 100,000 troops."

Zheng Chenggong shook his head and said, "It's too few. The Ming Empire will at least send a million troops and a hundred thousand people with food and supplies. It's a bit shabby. Your Majesty the King, how about the 500,000 people?"

Five hundred thousand is also unbearable. Philip IV shook his head and said, "We really can't give out the 500,000. Let's do this, two hundred thousand, no more."

Zheng Chenggong tried hard again and said: "It's about 400,000, no more."

Philip IV gritted his teeth and said, "It's 300,000, this is our limit. No matter how many, our own army has nothing to eat."

Zheng Chenggong nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, 300,000 is 300,000, let's find a way to transfer the rest."

It’s nothing but food and ammunition. The Ming Empire was originally here to help, and it’s appropriate to provide food and ammunition. Philip IV carefully tempted: “There are any other conditions?”

Zheng Chenggong looked at Philip IV and said seriously: "Our Ming Empire will give you a batch of super battleships to help you reorganize the navy and form a standard fleet of 200 super battleships and 100,000 people. After this fleet is formed, we must obey my command and unite to fight with the anti-Habsburg Alliance."

This is a bit too much. He actually asked the Spanish fleet to listen to the command of the Ming Dynasty. Philip IV hesitated and said, "This is not good. To put it bluntly, if you use my fleet as cannon fodder, then I will lose 100,000 elite troops in vain!"

Zheng Chenggong shook his head and said, "You can rest assured that you are not sure about this battle. For example, the Anti-Habsburg Alliance dispatched more than a thousand super battleships. Not only was we a warship not sunk. Your Majesty the King can rest assured that our Ming Empire has always planned and then acted. Every war, we try to avoid casualties from soldiers. Whether it is Ming soldiers or Spanish soldiers, we will treat them equally and will never treat them as cannon fodder."

Philip IV had heard of this. The Ming Empire did not suffer much casualties in every battle. He hesitated for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "It is okay to hand over a fleet to you to command, but you must build two large shipyards for me with an annual output of 100 super battleships!"

Zheng Chenggong really couldn't make the decision, so he could only answer: "I must report to our Emperor and ask His Majesty the King to wait for a few days."
