In the Port of Cadiz, with the arrival of the Ming Dynasty fleet, the entire Cadiz Port is filled with the atmosphere of youthful hormones. You can see Ming sailors walking on the streets with their arms around girls everywhere.
These Ming sailors were all wealthy men, very generous with their spending, and were deeply loved by all the merchants in Cadiz Port.
Thanks to the policies formulated by Liu Jin from the beginning, all sailors and crew members who go to sea can share the huge profits of ocean trade, although ordinary crew members can only share 10% of the profits.
However, the profits from sea trade are very considerable. Sailors and sailors are synonymous with wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty. They can earn hundreds of taels of silver a year.
During this expedition to Europe, the sailors and crew members who came were basically old sailors and crew members, and each one of them was very rich.
Whether it is a tavern in the Port of Cadiz, a restaurant with delicious food, or a store specializing in selling beautiful clothes and jewelry, these Ming sailors can be seen everywhere.
They were all dressed gorgeously and neatly, accompanied by shy girls. They bought and sold various things without even looking at the prices. They just threw Ming Dynasty silver dollars over, so that the prices of goods in the entire Cadiz Port rose.
A wave.
Tian Erniu got up with great difficulty from the arms of the two snow-white Spanish girls. His waist was a little sore. When he looked outside, he saw that the sun was already high in the sky, reaching three peaks in the sky.
"Huh~"
"It's fatal. We can't continue like this. Otherwise, everyone will become a soft-footed shrimp by then, and how can we still fight?"
Tian Erniu shook his head slightly. European women were indeed as passionate and unrestrained as Jiang Liang said, which was overwhelming.
"My dear, please sleep a little longer~"
Seeing Tian Erniu getting up, the two girls also quickly got up, hugged Tian Erniu and said reluctantly, speaking in Spanish, but Tian Erniu had already learned Spanish and could communicate normally.
"It's time to get up. If this continues, I'm going to be drained dry by you two goblins."
"Your king is coming today~"
"There is some money here, take it and buy something."
While Tian Erniu was getting dressed, he shook his head helplessly, then took out a stack of silver dollars and put it on the table.
"Aren't you going to take us to the party?"
When the two girls heard this, they immediately said in disappointment.
"No, I have to prepare for the next war. When I win, I will come back to you and take you to Daming, okay?"
Tian Erniu looked at the two girls, smiled and coaxed, he is also an expert, women rely on coaxing and deceiving, they must not tell the truth, otherwise they will be the ones who suffer.
"real?"
When the two heard this, they immediately cheered. They had heard too many rumors about the Ming Dynasty. It was rumored that there was gold everywhere and they were extremely rich. It was said that the Ming Dynasty had endless delicacies and endless beautiful clothes.
, in short, in the eyes of Europeans, Ming Dynasty is synonymous with power and wealth.
"Of course it's true~"
"Wait for me at home!"
Tian Erniu smiled, then kissed them and left gracefully.
"Take it back to Daming?"
"There must be no quarrel at home~"
Tian Erniu muttered in his heart that he had sown seeds everywhere in the Golden Continent. There were more than a dozen beauties from the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire alone, and they also gave birth to more than a dozen children.
As a result, at the beginning of this year, after his family came to Golden Continent, his wife almost scratched him to death. If he brought two more European women home, Tian Erniu would feel a big headache just thinking about it.
Well, it’s okay to play with it. It’s in Europe anyway, so it would be troublesome to take it home.
"Er Niu, the two kings of Spain have arrived at the port of Cadiz and want to discuss sending troops with you."
Tian Erniu had just walked out of his residence when Jiang Liang hurried over and said.
"They came very quickly. In just three days, they arrived from Toledo?"
When Tian Erniu heard this, he immediately became energetic. After three days of fun, it was time to get down to business.
"They came here without stopping. I heard that the war in the north was very intense, and the French and British offensives were very powerful."
Jiang Liang nodded slightly and said.
"Let's go and meet these two Spanish kings."
"I really don't understand why this country has two kings, one male and one female."
Tian Erniu shook his head slightly as he walked.
In the Duke's Castle of Cadiz, Spanish King Isabella and Fernando cordially summoned Tian Erniu.
"Tian Erniu pays homage to His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen~"
In the huge hall, many Spanish ministers and nobles stood on both sides. Everyone looked at Tian Erniu and Jiang Liang, who were wearing crimson robes and official hats.
The two of them came in front of the two kings of Spain, bowed their hands and bowed slightly in salute.
"No need to be polite!"
Fernando and Isabella looked at each other, and Fernando smiled and signaled.
"This is a letter from His Majesty the Ming Emperor in reply to the King and Queen of Spain. Please read it."
Tian Erniu took out a letter from his arms and said very solemnly.
Soon, an attendant of the Spanish King took the letter, and then Carlster, who was proficient in Ming dialect and Chinese characters, acted as a translator and translated the contents of the letter in detail to the two Spanish kings.
The content is not complicated. It just means that the Ming Empire knew the difficulties of the Kingdom of Spain and had always wanted to support it. However, it suffered from the long distance between the two sides and it took a long time to mobilize troops and generals. The support came late. Please understand this.
This letter is regarded as a formal reply to the Spanish King's letter asking for help. Of course, it is also the first letter written by the Ming Emperor to a European monarch.
Fernando and Isabella listened carefully. Although they knew very well in their hearts that Ming was deliberately delaying time, they still said with smiles on their faces: "Thank you to His Majesty Emperor Ming, thank you for your support, we Spain
We are allies with the Ming Empire. We are able to form an alliance despite the long distance. This is God's will. In the words of the Ming Dynasty, this is also fate."
"We in the Kingdom of Spain attach great importance to and cherish the alliance with the Ming Empire. We always believe that the Ming Empire is sincere in treating its allies."
"Your Excellency, the General, can lead his troops to support us. We, the King of Spain, are very grateful!"
"Please General, please convey our greetings to His Majesty the Ming Emperor for me. May the friendship between our two countries last forever!"
"Thank you for your greetings, Your Majesty. I will convey your greetings to our Emperor."
"We, the Ming Empire, also attach great importance to our alliance with your country, and we also believe that the friendship between our two countries can last forever."
Tian Erniu represented the Ming Dynasty at this time, so he spoke very formally.
After some cumbersome diplomatic etiquette, the atmosphere between the two parties gradually became more relaxed.
"The general's trip must have been very hard. The general and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were supposed to have a good rest, but now, the offensive of the French, English and Portuguese coalition forces is getting stronger and stronger, and we in Spain are almost unable to withstand it.
Already."
"So I have to come and trouble the general. Let's discuss how to deal with the Three Kingdoms Alliance."
After some polite exchanges, it was time to discuss the most critical matter of sending troops.
When the Ming fleet arrived in Spain, it was natural to let the Ming people play their role. The fifty-five powerful warships, if used properly, could easily wipe out all the maritime forces of Portugal, France and England.
As long as the maritime power of these three countries can be wiped out, Spain will be able to deal with it with ease. If it is just a land war with the French, British, and Portuguese, Spain will not be under any pressure.
As the most powerful country in Europe at this time, there is no doubt about Spain's strength. Now with the support of Ming Dynasty, there is no problem.
"We came here on the orders of the Emperor of Heaven to support the Kingdom of Spain. We have also rested for three days and are fully ready to go into battle."
Tian Erniu pondered for a while and nodded solemnly.
If you finish the fight early, you can happily celebrate the New Year in Europe, and then set off back next year. Now that the New Year is coming soon, you still have to get the business done quickly.
"Great~"
"I wonder what the general thinks of the situation at hand?"
When Fernando heard this, he immediately asked happily.
"I think the most important thing right now is to lift the blockade imposed on your country by the three countries. Based on its geographical location, we should attack Portugal first, then concentrate on dealing with France, and finally deal with England."
Tian Erniu thought for a while and said.
Portugal is right next to Spain, and has no connection with France or Britain. With its powerful navy, it can easily cut off Portugal's maritime connections. Then Spain's land attack can easily force Portugal to admit defeat.
Force Portugal to admit defeat, negotiate peace, and then use warships to cut off the connection between England and France. On land, Spain and the French fight alone. At this time, the Spanish matador is worthy. In this way, the three-nation coalition can also
Each one was defeated.
"General, that's exactly what I think."
When Fernando heard this, he immediately nodded. This was also his idea and opinion.
Although Portugal is small, because it is closely connected with Spain, it can contain Spain from behind and make Spain fight on both sides and fall into a passive situation.
After Spain is dealt with first, the troops from the south can be transferred to the northern front to fight with the French and British. Coupled with the support of the Tian Erniu fleet at sea, everything will not be a problem.
This is easy first and then difficult. Among the three countries, France is the strongest, Portugal is the weakest, and Britain is the farthest away. Kill the smallest one first, and then concentrate on dealing with the stronger one.
