The Ming fleet sailed on the vast Atlantic Ocean, with a vast blue wave and a cloud of waves. The huge fleet on the sea was like a small boat, breaking the wind and waves on the sea.

The news that the Ming fleet visited Portugal and signed an alliance and trade agreement with it spread wildly in Europe and soon caused different reactions from European countries to respond to this.

The first thing that was stimulated was Spain next to Portugal. Carlos III really didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty actually inserted a knife into his Spanish mainland. Portugal was originally in disagreement with Spain and was always wary of the aggressive Spain attacking Portugal again. Now it is an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, which is obviously in a precaution against Spain.

After hearing this news, he wanted to immediately order an attack on Portugal, preparing to destroy it while Portugal was not ready. However, during the expedition to the Ming Kingdom, the army and the navy suffered heavy losses, and the army is now under reconstruction. In addition, the situation in the American colonies made him unable to mobilize his troops to attack Portugal. According to the latest information, the Western American colonies were almost in chaos.

Since the beginning of 1783, armed rebellions have begun to occur in the Spanish American colonies, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of people. They continue to attack the Spanish army in the form of guerrilla warfare, making the Spanish army exhausted.

Last time, Carlos III also drew a lot of troops from the colonial army in order to deal with the Ming Dynasty, but the entire army was wiped out. Therefore, they could not handle the sudden rise of guerrillas, and they had no time and energy to deal with Portugal.

"Maria I was simply crazy. Who gave her such courage? She dared to form an alliance with these yellow-skinned monkeys. She was going to go to war with Spain! She wanted to sneak attack while Spain was weak! I would never let her succeed! I want to mobilize all local troops to completely destroy this country!" Carlos III roared. In recent years, all kinds of bad things have hit him one after another, making his health worse and worse. This newly rising Ming Kingdom followed him like a ghost, making him hide anywhere. Originally, the negotiations with the Ming Dynasty failed, and he just felt that these yellow-skinned monkeys were far away, but he didn't expect that they suddenly appeared in Europe and formed an alliance with the feud around him.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! We cannot attack Portugal yet! Although they are despicable, they have formed an alliance with those inferior yellow-skinned monkeys, threatening our local security, but now is not the time to go to war with them! Our lost troops have not been rebuilt yet. There are now a bunch of guerrillas in the Americas. They all want to make America separate from our rule. We must not lose America! Most of our local troops are mobilized to the Americas to suppress those guerrillas. It is not the time. When we free up our hands, Portugal, a small country, is like more than a hundred years ago, this time we will definitely be able to completely eliminate them this time." Prince Seston, who organized the negotiations with the Ming Dynasty last time, advised. In his opinion, Spain is already a very critical moment. If the guerrillas in the Americas demand independence, the Spanish World Empire is likely to disintegrate.

"Are we doing nothing? Just let these yellow-skinned monkeys form an alliance with the hateful Portuguese and threaten us? Where is the face of our world empire?" Carlos III asked angrily. He knew the glory of Spain, and he envied the glory of the Spanish world empire back then, and was thinking about how to restore Spain to its former glory.

But Prince Seston knew that Spain could not go back no matter what. Once the opportunity was missed, it would not come back at all. Spain first began to colonize the American continent and obtained a large amount of gold and silver from the New World. However, the Spanish kings at that time used these gold and silver to start the European war for hegemony, and fought eighty years with a small Netherlands. They fought countless wars with the Ottoman Empire in Portugal, Britain and France, and the Holy Roman Empire of the Holy Roman Empire did not make Spain more brilliant, but instead made Spain lose those gold and silver, and the glory of the empire of the sun never set was also defeated. Now it is difficult to restore the grand scenery of the past!

"Your Majesty, we can protest solemnly against Portugal! We can also deploy all our local troops to the border areas to threaten Portugal and make them give up the agreement signed with the Ming Kingdom." Prince Seston thought for a long time and only thought of this method that could threaten Portugal.

"Yes, just do what you say. Maria I was a woman after all, and must be very timid. If we scare this, we might scare her?" Carlos III said happily.

Soon, Spanish Ambassador to Lisbon, Anseton submitted a diplomatic note to Queen Maria I, protesting her alliance with the Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, the enemy of the Spanish Empire, and using it to deal with Spain. He threatened that if Maria I did not withdraw the agreement, the Spanish army would cross the border and attack Maria I.

"Hmph! Sir, do you really think I don't know your situation? How many troops can you threaten Portugal now? We will definitely not give up this alliance treaty and related agreements. Please take back your unreasonable protests and please stop this shameless and useless intimidation." Maria I sneered. She had already seen from Zhu Haitao how huge the losses were after the last revenge of Spain. Portugal has been guarding against Spain for many years and has sent many spies to know how many troops they have. After comparing the two, we can know how many troops Spain has left on its own.

"Her Majesty, do you think we are scaring you?" Anseton thought Maria I didn't believe it, so he continued to threaten.

"Most of your troops have been transferred to the New World to suppress the rebels there. Do you think I don't know? Your troops in the local area now maintain defense at most and cannot attack us at all." said Mary I.

In desperation, Anseton had to leave the Queen's palace and told Carlos III the situation in Portugal in the form of a secret letter.

After receiving the secret letter, Carlos III had no choice but to give up the plan to blackmail Portugal.

At this time, the Ming fleet was approaching Amsterdam and was about to land here.
