Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 985 Handicap
The bartender was called unexpectedly, he was a little dazed, he looked down at the wine jar he was about to bring out, and he was a little angry when he came back to his senses, this is a signboard smashing!

Just when he was about to refute loudly, he saw that Raff had already turned and walked towards the gate, walking in a hurry.

Suddenly, he understood, he sighed and shook his head, and didn't say much.

On the contrary, Luther King, who was next to him, explained to him: "He is worried about the Warsaw War, and it has nothing to do with the wine!"

The people in the bar also knew this, so they all agreed, which was very harmonious.But I don't know why, the atmosphere in this bar is always a bit weird, or dull.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, a person broke into the door. When everyone heard the sound, they found that it was Raff.I saw a look of surprise on his face.

"Could it be that there is news?" Ludkinfu saw it, and immediately stood up in surprise and asked, "Win?"

Everyone forgot to drink, and all eyes were fixed on Raf, with expectations in their eyes.

"I just reported the news to the palace." Raff panted. "The Spanish troops who came from the border have all withdrawn. They are in a panic. The conclusion of the palace must be that they have won, so they have such a reaction."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the bar finally returned to normal.Just like the cold water before, it was "boiled" by this news.

"Didn't the Spanish army want to clean us up? They ran away in a panic, so they definitely knew that the Warsaw War was lost!"

"Yes, that must be the case. At least they didn't win the Battle of Warsaw. They may need reinforcements urgently, so they withdrew!"

"Absolutely, the Ming Emperor was able to fight from east to west. Although they had many famous generals, who was as accomplished as the Ming Emperor? He definitely made them cry and shout for reinforcements, so they all rushed to get reinforcements! "

"..."

Their point of view is that the Ming emperor led the army to defeat the coalition forces of European countries, and they must send reinforcements.Otherwise, the Spanish troops stationed on the Portuguese border would never withdraw in a panic.

Knowing this, the sound of cheers in the bar can be heard endlessly, and the lively atmosphere is completely different from just now.

"Bartender, let's get drunk. I'm happy today. I must get drunk!" Ruff sat next to Ludkinff, slapped the table and shouted.

When the bartender heard this, he said with a cold face on purpose: "This is all wine mixed with water to fool people!"

"Ah!" Raff was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and then shouted loudly, "Who said that? I dare to say such bastard words, and I, Raff, will be the first to let him go. Don't worry about such rumors, let's celebrate with a jug of wine first." Down!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone in the bar burst into laughter and booing.

As long as the Ming army can win, the big stone that weighs on their Portuguese hearts will fall to the ground.

In just three days, the sales of wine increased dramatically, and there were discussions everywhere, discussing whether Portugal should form an army to reinforce it, or simply invade Spain, at least to hold Spain back and prevent them from reinforcing Warsaw.

Speaking of later, many people went to the gate of the palace to petition.All the men from every household shouted to support the front line.

This thing happened at the very beginning.However, Zheng Zhilong refused once on the grounds of the emperor's will.But this time, considering the situation on the front line, they asked again.

One was that they were encouraged by the victory on the front line; the other was that they were also worried, what if the reinforcements from various countries came to reinforce them, what would happen if the Emperor of Ming was defeated?
To be honest, this time, even Zheng Zhilong was a little moved.If you don't do anything, just wait for the enemy to send reinforcements, you really don't have to be afraid of [-], just in case!

Catherine is even more willing, she is absolutely unwilling to move to South America.Therefore, analyzing from various angles, it shows that the emperor defeated the enemy of Warsaw, and it is estimated that he lost a lot.Now if the countries go to reinforce it, it is up to the emperor whether he can stop it.

Zheng Zhilong was even more moved when he heard this.

At this moment, something that they never dreamed of happened.

"What?" Catherine opened her mouth wide, stood up from her seat, and reconfirmed.

Zheng Zhilong, who also had a seat next to him, was calmer than Catherine and did not stand up, but his expression also showed that he was very surprised.

"Return to Your Royal Highness, King Philip IV of Spain has personally come to Lisbon to surrender to Your Royal Highness." Even when the frontier horse repeated it again, he was still very excited and replied loudly.

After being confirmed, Catherine was stunned for a while, then turned to look at Zheng Zhilong, as if to seek Zheng Zhilong's opinion.

"This must be His Majesty's great victory!" Zheng Zhilong immediately explained with certainty.

However, in his heart, he was still a little unbelievable. How big a victory would it take in the Battle of Warsaw before the King of Spain made the decision to surrender to Portugal!

Catherine nodded vigorously.Then, she turned back, looked at the messenger and said, "How many troops did Philip IV bring?"

"There are only more than a thousand people, and after entering the border, they have been automatically disarmed." The messenger quickly replied loudly, "The King of Spain said that he really wanted to surrender to Her Royal Highness. In addition, he also trapped those who betrayed The Englishman who gave His Royal Highness the king as a gift of surrender. He also said that when he sent troops to attack us in Portugal, he believed the words of the treacherous ministers in the country, and he regretted it long ago..."

Catherine couldn't listen to the rest of the words.It was the previous news that shocked her so much that she couldn't digest it.

There is no doubt that the king of Spain suddenly came here to surrender himself, regardless of whether he agreed or not, without any conditions, and his attitude was so humble. This is definitely related to the War of Warsaw !

Although she understood this point, Catherine couldn't figure it out anyway. What was the battle of Warsaw going to be like, that the king of Spain had no intention of resisting at all, and even wanted to surrender impatiently?

To be honest, she really didn't have much hatred for the King of Spain.After all, Portugal was independent from Spain.It makes sense for Spain to send troops to Portugal.

For Catherine, what she hated the most were those British guys who betrayed her father.Today, these Britons are presented by the King of Spain.

Since she couldn't figure out what kind of victory could have such a great effect, Catherine didn't think about it anymore, and immediately ordered her subordinates to inform the whole country, and sent people to escort the King of Spain and those traitors to Lisbon.

She believed that when she met the King of Spain, she would be able to understand what the Battle of Warsaw was like!

As soon as the news spread, the whole Lisbon was boiling.

Even in their dreams, they never imagined that this day would come to pass, and it would come miraculously.

The King of Spain surrendered voluntarily and offered the Englishman who had betrayed the King.This kind of thing really surprised them more than the sun rising from the west!
Everyone is not an idiot, and immediately guessed that this is definitely the impact of the Battle of Warsaw.

But what was the battle of Warsaw going to be like to scare the King of Spain like this?

As a result, various speculations about the Battle of Warsaw have been speculated for a while in various places in the streets and alleys, even when the servants and couples are sleeping at night.

"The emperor of Ming Dynasty must have brought a million troops. The whole world is full of Ming troops. This frightened the coalition forces of European countries!"

"A million troops is not enough! Let me tell you, there must be a five million army. With so many people in Ming Dynasty, it is only a five million army. There is absolutely no problem."

"..."

Those who discuss this aspect are basically those who have no military common sense, and think that fighting a war means fighting with a large number of people, without considering factors such as logistics and command.

But here in Lisbon, there are still many knowledgeable people, and what they are discussing is another important point.

"Emperor Ming must have played very beautifully. The coalition forces were terrified, and they no longer have the confidence to fight, so that's why!"

"It is estimated that in the Battle of Warsaw, if the Allied forces had one million troops, they would lose more than half; while the Ming army would lose a hundred thousand at most. The ratio of five to one is amazing!"

"Impossible. If it was five to one, the king of Spain probably wouldn't be so frightened! Let me tell you, it would be great if the Ming army lost at most [-]. With a ratio of ten to one, it's a great victory!"

"..."

Some people even proposed that the Ming army would lose at most [-], a ratio of fifty to one.However, this statement was immediately refuted by everyone.Among them, Laf's words are the most representative: "Even if you are exaggerating, don't be so exaggerating! Fifty to one, why don't you explain that the soldiers are all indestructible, and all of them are related to the second master's force?"

They have all heard of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu's combat power, they understand that there is only one in the Three Kingdoms.The Ming army is all Guan Yu, how is this possible!

So, just like that, here in Lisbon, some people who thought they knew the war very well began to place bets on how many troops the Ming army had and how many losses they suffered compared with the enemy. They won the Battle of Warsaw. !

The number of troops in the Ming army is basically between 30 and 70, and the most exaggerated is 20. This odds are very high, but there are very few people who bet.

The battle loss ratio between the Ming army and the enemy was basically between ten to one and twenty to one. The most exaggerated was thirty to one. This was the highest odds, but there were also very few people betting. Only Only those who want to get rich overnight make bets.

As the King of Spain was being escorted to Lisbon, people with connections began to fly to inquire about the specific situation of the battle, and then thought about betting on the market.

However, no matter who it is, there is no news at all.In other words, the King of Spain kept his mouth shut, which disappointed them very much.

They understood that the mystery of the Battle of Warsaw would only be revealed when the King of Spain arrived in Lisbon and met His Royal Highness Princess Catherine.

So, they were very much looking forward to this moment!
