Chapter 949 There Is Another Daughter

At this time, Joao IV was actually fortunate.

Thanks to the previous alliance with the Ming Dynasty, the exclusive agency of Far East specialties made a lot of money and strengthened the national power.Otherwise, with the strength of Portugal in the past, he really has no confidence to withstand the Spanish attack, especially if it is led by a famous general like Condé.

According to the original historical development, Napoleon invaded the Kingdom of Portugal in the [-]th century, and the Portuguese royal family moved to the Brazilian colony for refuge.

In this plane, Joao IV originally had the same thoughts. If he really couldn't resist the attack of the Spanish army and the Ming army failed to come to the rescue in time, he was going to flee to South America.

But judging from the current situation, there is no need to escape.

For King Joao IV, it is of course the best not to have to flee to South America!
At this time, he even thought that if Spain fought for a long time without success and the soldiers were exhausted, maybe he could turn defeat into victory without the rescue of the Ming army.

If this is the case, Portugal will no longer have to worry about Spain in the future.He, Joao IV, will be able to leave a strong mark in the history books.

However, what he never expected was that the situation in Lisbon suddenly took a turn for the worse the next night.

In the evening, King Joao IV inspected the city defense, and everything was fine.He even had the mood to tell his third son, and the fourth son went to explain the essentials of the art of war.

"Your Highness, it's not good..." Joao IV was pulled up from his sleep on the bed, "The Spanish army has invaded!"

"What's going on?" Joao IV was stunned. Hearing the shouts of killing from outside, he didn't care about his disheveled clothes, and immediately rushed to the window to see the situation.

Sure enough, as soon as the city gate was broken, a thick fire dragon was pouring into the city from the gate, and then divided into several small fire dragons.There were flames everywhere, as well as the sound of killing and wailing.

"What's going on? What's going on here?" Joao IV was dumbfounded. He really couldn't figure out why the city gate fell?

"Your Highness, it seems that a traitor opened the city gate from inside." His guard reported, and then hurriedly shouted, "Now is not the time to talk about this, Your Highness, get on the boat, or it will be too late Already!"

Sure enough, King Joao IV saw a fire dragon coming straight to the palace without stopping along the way.

Seeing this, he immediately rushed to the door and shouted anxiously: "Quick, go and bring Alfonso and Pedro!"

Alfonso was his third son and Pedro his fourth.Except for these two sons, the other sons and daughters all died of illness.Of course, Catherine who married Daming does not count.

It was reasonable to bring the two princes. When Joao IV left the room and arrived at the gate of the main hall, the two little princes had already been brought by the guards.

At this time, the fire dragon outside can already be seen.However, when the Spanish army reached the vicinity of the palace, they encountered resistance from the palace guards. For a while, they were no longer able to drive straight in like before.

King Joao IV looked around and heard the chaotic gunshots and wailing sounds from time to time, he couldn't help but said with hatred: "When Gu leads the Ming army back, he will definitely find out who betrayed Gu. Make them pay a heavy price!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his guard urged him again.

King Joao IV didn't dare to stay any longer, and immediately took his two sons, before he even had time to bring any gold, silver and jewelry, he hurried to the port, preparing to escape to South America by boat.

However, the Spaniards obviously expected that he might escape by sea, so when one army attacked the palace, the other army rushed directly to the port.

By the time Joao IV arrived at the port, the battle here had already intensified.

The Portuguese desperately defended the retreat here, while the Spaniards desperately cut off this passage first.

Seeing this situation, Joao IV hurriedly took his two sons, avoided the fighting zone, and fled to the ship docked at the pier.

When he got to the pier, walked through the open area, and was about to step onto the ship's deck, he suddenly heard intensive gunshots from the side.

"Blah blah blah..."

While hearing the gunshot, King Joao IV saw that everyone around him was shot and fell to the ground, including his two sons.And he himself was just blocked by the guards, so he was not hit.

However, at this time, he didn't care about himself at all, but looked at his two sons lying in a pool of blood, struggling painfully with blood, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he rushed over, trying to go Save his son.

"Blah blah blah..."

Gunshots rang out again, and it was his remaining guards who fought against the enemy, but under the ambushes of the enemy, the number of them was already very small.After a while, even Joao IV was shot in the stomach, and all of them fell into a pool of blood.

Clutching his stomach and looking up at the night sky, King Joao IV suddenly regretted it very much.I should have sent my son away first, just in case, at least one of them!

At this moment, a group of people suddenly gathered around and said in a gloating tone: "Haha, let's see where you run away!"

"If I had lost some money in the beginning, how could I have ended up destroying my family!"

"..."

Hearing these words, King Joao IV, who had already wanted to "sleep" in the past, suddenly got strength from nowhere, looked up at the group of people angrily and shouted: "It turns out that you are collaborating with the enemy, killing orphans, and killing Portugal!" !"

At this time, if he couldn't recognize it again, he would be really blind.Of course, to some extent, he is indeed "blind".

"We used to help you with good intentions, but you white-eyed wolf, you don't help us beat that Cromwell bastard, and you don't even want to give a little money!" Odori said viciously, "What will happen to you? You asked for it!"

"Haha, watching your son die in front of you, how does it feel?"

"The whole family is dead, does it feel good? You miser, do you regret it?"

"..."

Hearing these words, King Joao IV felt like being stabbed by a knife, which made him extremely painful.Feeling the disappearance of his physical strength, he knew that he couldn't do it, so he said angrily: "Gu Zhen should not have taken you in, you will suffer retribution!"

"Hehe, what retribution? Your whole family is dead, what retribution is there?"

"Come, come, come, I'll just stand here, come and bite me! Come and repay me!"

"..."

Hearing these words, King Joao IV looked at his two motionless sons, really wanting to fight these British guys.However, there is no such opportunity at all.To be honest, he was very unwilling at this time.

Just as he was thinking of this, Joao IV suddenly thought of something. The strength that had disappeared had surged out from nowhere. He raised his finger and pointed at Odori and the others in front of him, and shouted sharply: "The orphan daughter Catherine is the Prince of Ming Dynasty. Concubine, she will definitely avenge Gu. You just wait, the Ming army will definitely come to settle accounts with you!"

Full of anger, after saying this, his hands softened, his head drooped, and he lost his breath.

These British royalists were stunned after hearing Joao IV's last words.Even Joao IV died, they didn't care.

I originally thought that after destroying João IV's family, I could sit back and relax.As a result, after all the calculations, one was missed.

"What should we do? His daughter married the crown prince of the Ming Kingdom, and from then on it will belong to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom." Someone immediately asked Odori worriedly.

"Yes, I heard that the Ming army is very powerful. Even Osman is no match for the Ming army!"

"..."

Suddenly, many people panicked.

Odori is also afraid, in Lisbon, they have obtained more news about the Ming army than people from other countries.

However, things have been done, even if regretting is useless.

Odori lowered his head, kicked Joao IV's body, and said bitterly: "Whatever you do, it's all the fault of this idiot. If he didn't want to give us money, how could we harm him! "

"Yes, it's all his fault! We have all been harmed by him!"

"How could this thing not bring any gold, silver and jewelry when it ran for its life, it's so fucking cowardly!"

"..."

After a sudden anger, someone went to cut off the heads of Joao IV and his two sons, preparing to ask Philip IV for credit.Then he disappeared into the darkness and headed towards the palace.Obviously, they want to fish in troubled waters and get more benefits.

The chaos in Lisbon did not end slowly until the next afternoon.There are still houses burning in the city, and the ground is full of Portuguese corpses.However, they were moved to the side of the road at this time.The streets and alleys are full of Spanish soldiers with live ammunition.

Grand Kongdai accompanied Philip IV into the city, and seeing that Lisbon was finally defeated, Portugal was destroyed, and his confidence was restored a lot.

Philip IV was very concerned about how much money he could get from Lisbon, so after entering the city, he went straight to the palace.

Needless to say, the destruction of the city was too sudden. In the past few years, the Portuguese made a lot of money from being the sole agent of Far Eastern specialties, and many of them were cheaper than Philip IV.

Philip IV was also very happy that the British royalists used the heads of Joao IV's family to claim credit, and it was considered to have eradicated the Portuguese rebellion.Therefore, he was very generous. He not only kept his promise and distributed the property to Odori and the others, but also temporarily lent Lisbon to them.However, it was stated in advance that after they call back to the UK, this Lisbon will still be returned to Spain.

Of course, Odori and others will not be so disappointed as to tell Philip IV that King Joao IV actually has a daughter who married far to the Far East and became the concubine of the future emperor of Ming Dynasty, so be careful about revenge.

Anyway, at this time, it’s all hello, hello, everyone, the only bad thing is that those Portuguese will live a life of humiliation from now on.

Besides, as soon as Joao IV learned of the Spanish invasion, he immediately sent a messenger to the Americas.Logically speaking, reinforcements should come.But, unfortunately, an accident happened.
