984 Be careful

While the anxious waiting of the Portuguese in Lisbon, on this day, the Spanish king and his group finally arrived in Lisbon.

On this day, there were really a huge crowd. No matter how hard you walk or not, everyone came out to see this grand occasion.

Spain was once the overlord of the European continent and was overwhelming. Before that, it was even more aggressively pressing the border, suppressing Portugal's independence.

At that time, even the cats and dogs among the Spanish were the owners of the Portuguese.

However, nowadays, even when King Philip IV of Spain walked on the streets of Lisbon, he looked flattering and humble. The position of the master was changed, which made the Portuguese feel very dazed.

Is this really the king of Spain?

In the square where the palace gate is located, Princess Catherine and her party are there. It is not that we welcome it to respect the Spanish king, but that we must accept the surrender of the Spanish king under the gaze of all the Portuguese.

Without any surprise, Philip IV and the Spanish nobles he led all knelt down to Catherine with great humility, and as obedient as he wanted, he would be as obedient as he would, and he had no face as a Spanish king.

"Dear Princess Catherine, please accept the surrender of a confessed old man and forgive the lost old man!"

When he heard Philip IV's words, for some reason, Princess Catherine had goose bumps on her back. This was so humble.

"I finally caught those British people who rebel against Portugal." Philip IV was a little anxious when he saw Catherine in a daze and did not agree to his surrender. He quickly expressed his merits, "This is my intention to make up for the mistakes I made before. Please accept this sincerity and make Spain become a vassal state of Portugal from now on!"

The news I heard before was that these British people were not in Spain. However, now that they were presented by Philip IV, it was probably because they had taken them to catch them.

Thinking of the tragic death of his father and younger brothers, Catherine's eyes suddenly turned red: These British people deserve to die!

Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Okay, for your sincerity, I agree to your surrender, but you have to say first what the specific situation of the Battle of Warsaw is!"

When he heard this, Philip IV was immediately overjoyed. Since Princess Catherine agreed, there was no need to hide the Battle of Warsaw. Anyway, Lisbon would definitely know it after a while. The purpose of his efforts to conceal Catherine had to let Catherine agree first.

So he told the story of the soldiers who fled back to Spain.

Philip IV naturally did not know the specific situation of the new artillery and muskets. It was just described as the Ming army had a weapon of God, which only existed in legends that could destroy the world, and almost wiped out the 710,000 European Union troops.

Hearing his words, Zheng Zhilong, who was listening to him, couldn't help but be overjoyed: So that's the case, with such a huge weapon, so the emperor told him not to make trouble here, so he asked the elite troops of European countries to rush to Warsaw to die!

Even though he thought so in his heart, he immediately asked: "How is the war damage from our Ming army?"

It’s not that he bet on the market, but as a Ming Dynasty person, of course he is most worried about the death and injury of his comrades.

Seeing that it was a Ming general who asked a question, after hearing the translation, Philip IV replied very respectfully: "It seems that no one has been killed or injured!"

That's right, the Ming army fired and fired on its own positions from beginning to end, and the most likely pursuit of casualties was completed by soldiers from the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the conclusion that no one was killed or injured was reached, even if Philip IV had never been to the battlefield, he could guess it.

Everyone was almost stunned when they heard this.

The 710,000 elite troops of European countries were defeated and almost wiped out, but the Ming army had never killed or injured a single person. Even if the legendary God of War descended to earth, it would be impossible to do this!

Imagine the Battle of Warsaw thousands of miles away. The Emperor of Ming came with just over 20,000 people. In addition, the Ming army that had arrived, there were less than 100,000 people in total. Facing 710,000 enemies, he ended up killing himself and defeating the enemy. That would be a spectacular thing!

After coming back to his senses, Catherine understood Philip IV. He was absolutely frightened and felt that he could not stop such a powerful Ming army, so he took the initiative to surrender, right?

One thing Catherine did not expect was because the Ming Emperor spoke, saying that except Spain, France, Britain and the Netherlands, surrendered by other countries could be accepted. That is to say, surrendered by Spain is not accepted.

Philip IV was frightened, and so he set his mind on Catherine. If Catherine accepted his surrender, then the Emperor of Ming would be able to let Spain go. Of course, he did not dare to guarantee this at all, but he had no choice but to do so.

As for European practice, countries also fight each other. However, as long as one country surrenders, the other country will not be particularly embarrassed. This is considered a European tradition.

Sure enough, Catherine agreed. Of course, this has a lot to do with Philip IV's very humble attitude. After all, this was the most powerful Spanish king in Europe, and he was so humble. What else could he do?

Of course, he would not interfere with Zheng Zhilong's decision on the Crown Princess. At this time, he was more shocking when did the Ming Dynasty have such a powerful weapon?

Although he didn't know the details, he was sure of one thing, it was definitely related to the emperor!

Although Philip IV's words were not loud, they spread from ten to ten, and in the end they all knew all the Portuguese and Ming soldiers in Lisbon.

Whether it was the size of the Ming army or the battle losses between the Ming army and the enemy, they were all beyond their expectations. Princess Catherine accepted the surrender of the Spanish king there, but so many people watching were silent because they were all stunned by such a result.

Even the market with the largest odds, I never thought that there was such a possibility!

After a long time, they came to their senses and suddenly the most crazy cheers burst out. At this time, when they looked at the Ming soldiers, their eyes were filled with the light of worship.

Can humans really be able to have the power of the Ming Dynasty? Even if they are all Guan Erye, it is impossible for them to be so powerful!

With the Ming Dynasty as a backer, wouldn’t it be that Portugal just left in Europe? From then on, the Portuguese no longer had to look at other people’s faces!

Since Portugal's independence, he has been humble when seeking support from other countries, betrayed by others as a bargaining chip for other people, etc. These things can be felt even by ordinary Portuguese.

However, now, it is the exact opposite. It is conceivable how happy they will be.

At this time, they immediately thought of their future king, the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the son of the future emperor, and they were all very grateful. It was really great that the king married Princess Catherine to the Ming Dynasty with this trick!

Then, Catherine announced that all the British who hated them to the core would be cut into pieces to pay tribute to the victims of the Battle of Lisbon, including Joao IV. Philip IV also knelt in front of the grave and confessed and cried bitterly.

Then, at the urging of Philip IV, the Portuguese formed an army to Spain and occupied part of the territory. Spain would also change its flag and hang the Portuguese flag.

During this, the news from Warsaw finally reached Lisbon. The Spanish king was not exaggerating at all, basically what he said.

Even though they had been shocked once, even if they had been celebrating madly, when the news came back, the Portuguese celebrated madly again.

At this time, the Portuguese drank Eastern rice wine and bowed to each other through Eastern etiquette. If they hadn't looked at their Western Confucius, they would have thought that they had arrived in the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, the Portuguese were the first to learn everything about the Ming Dynasty. With the victory of the Warsaw Battle, this trend reached its peak. Many people even wished that their skin was also the skin of the Ming Dynasty. In short, everything about the Ming Dynasty was the most fashionable!

………………………………………

Philip IV made a quick decision and did the right thing.

The army of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the situation to attack European countries, just like a group of poor people who suddenly faced the possibility of getting rich. From the beginning, they were a little restrained, but later, they started to rob and do bad things regardless of the situation.

European countries, on the one hand, were all their elites lost in the Battle of Warsaw. On the other hand, the fleeing soldiers brought back the news, which made them feel that the Ming army with new weapons could not resist at all. Therefore, under the attacks of Ottomans and Tsarist Russia, they did not dare to resist much.

Later, the Ottomans and Tsarist Russian troops, which attracted the wrath of heaven and man, finally began to resist.

But by this time, only a few countries have not yet fallen.

In this situation, Emperor Chongzhen, who had been in Warsaw, finally began to advance westward after waiting for the subsequent army to replenish the ammunition, especially after replenishing ammunition.

In this way, all European countries hoped that the Ming army would pass by soon, and that the people's hearts would all be attached to the Ming side.

Afterwards, some people speculated that this was the intention of Emperor Ming Dynasty. He made those vassal states a bad person, and the Ming army could be good people, changing the local people's resistance to the occupying army.

However, this statement is unfounded. Because Emperor Chongzhen never lets those vassal states do bad things, they drove them out by themselves, and the Emperor Ming Dynasty upholds justice and dealt with them!

As the army advanced westward, only France and the Netherlands were left.

Before France surrendered, no country could occupy Paris.
