Daming Military Empire

Chapter 308 Unstoppable War

The protagonist of the anti-Habsburg alliance has appeared, so is there any protagonist in the Habsburg dynasty who dares to stand up and play against it?The answer is of course yes, the protagonist is not the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II but the King of Spain Philip IV!

The King of Spain, Philip IV, is not an ordinary fork. This can be seen from his title. Do you know what his title is?Speaking out scares people to death, his title is "King of the Earth"!
This is not a joke, his title in history is so awesome, such a character naturally cannot allow the enemy to be more awesome than him, so after Richelieu's beautiful appearance, he jumped out immediately.

He disdains little people like Richelieu, and you want to be the protagonist like you. Didn't you declare war? I will go to war with you directly!
Therefore, he organized the coalition forces of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire to go straight to the mainland of France, and the first decisive battle between the two alliances began.

At this time, Spain was not generally strong. The army alone was no less than 30. The main reason why Philip IV did not appear on the stage was because no one messed with him. The anti-Habsburg alliance has been concentrating its forces to clean up the Holy Roman Empire. .

Persimmons need to be squeezed softly. Everyone knows this truth. It is sick to let the Holy Roman Empire, which is on the verge of splitting, come to fight the Kingdom of Spain, which is in full swing. That's why Denmark and Sweden have been biting the Holy Roman Empire. Fighting, did not send a single soldier to attack the Spanish mainland, and Philip IV could only provide support to the Holy Roman Empire, and has never had the opportunity to do it himself.

Seeing that the nearby France jumped out, he naturally pounced on it and went straight to it.

Of course, France is not weak either. France is a traditional power. How could it be so weak after being the overlord of the European continent several times? France is even slightly stronger than Spain in terms of army.

Spain suddenly made an effort, and France was a little caught off guard, so the French army was retreating steadily at the beginning, and it was almost defeated.

The coalition forces of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire actually gained a strategic advantage, and later received the weapon support of Ming Dynasty. Naturally, they chased after them and drove straight in. They actually fought all the way to Paris!

Now the anti-Habsburg alliance countries can't sit still. The rich contribute money, powerfully contribute, and desperately support France. It is said that more than [-] troops have been supported.

With so many countries attacking together, the Habsburg dynasty naturally couldn't bear it, so the coalition forces of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire were defeated.

This is the current situation in continental Europe. Almost all the princes of France, Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, and Germany are fighting against the Habsburg dynasty. They also threatened that if you don't surrender, you won't be able to get out at sea!
With so many countries joining forces, even Daming can't handle it. It seems that the Habsburg Dynasty is in serious trouble this time. With so many great powers besieging and fighting, it is difficult for them to continue fighting!

With worries and expectations, the fleet finally arrived in the waters near Spain. The Spanish king was very polite and sent a fleet to wait on the sea all the way. The fleet was not small, and there were four to five hundred warships, but There are less than a hundred super battleships, and there is not even one warship as big as a treasure ship. Just here, Shi Weila sneered and marked a classic Chinese: "Huh, beat a swollen face to make a fat man."

Zhu Cijiong didn't expect him to have such great resentment towards Spain, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Why do you say that?"

Shivela said disdainfully: "I'm afraid these are all the warships they can assemble now, do they still think they are the overlord of the sea!"

Zhu Cijiong couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard the words, yes, Spain has begun to decline, and the Armada has shrunk to such a state, it's a pity.

Madrid, the capital of Spain, is not a port city. To arrive in Madrid, one must first find a port to land, and then walk overland.

The closest port city to Madrid is Valencia, so the combined Spanish navy fleet led the visiting warships of the Ming Empire into the Mediterranean Sea, and sailed for more than a day until they arrived at the port of Valencia.

The Port of Valencia is now full of colorful flags flying, and it is very lively. The King of Spain has arranged a huge welcome team, neatly arranged around the port, and the number of troops to welcome them alone is no less than [-]. The scene is very spectacular.

Seeing this scene, Shivela marked the classic sentence again: "Huh, they have a swollen face to pretend to be fat. They probably have a total of more than [-] troops now!"

Zhu Cijiong shook his head helplessly and said, "You, don't say a few words, do you want to go to Madrid with me?"

The King of Spain was not very friendly to the Portuguese nobles, and Shivela was too lazy to eat this. Therefore, he borrowed a Fuchuan warship from Zhu Cijiong and went back to Portugal directly. The army, [-] royal guards, [-] eunuchs, and [-] palace maids were all put out and lined up, and then he took Qin Mingyue and Princess Anna off the boat.

Philip IV did not come to greet him in person, but sent a highly respected old earl as a special envoy to greet him. This Zhu Cijiong is understandable. Madrid is six to seven hundred miles away from Valencia. You won't run so far to meet the emperor of an ally country, lose your share!
There are no trains in Spain now, so the huge team can only slowly walk to Madrid. There are more than 20 people, and there are countless gifts and supplies. The team is more than ten miles long, which is quite spectacular, but Zhu Cijiong is not Focusing on these things, he didn't even bother to look at the scenery along the way. He was always thinking about how to sabotage the peace talks. It would be difficult for the Habsburg Dynasty and all the European powers to continue working together!
There was no words all the way. After walking for nearly ten days, the huge team finally arrived outside the city of Madrid. Philip IV still did not come to greet him in person, but he sent the palace guards and ministers. Zhu Cijiong's entourage was also politely requested Stationed outside the city, Spain's royal palace is not as big as Ming's palace, and it can only accommodate [-] guests at most.

Zhu Cijiong didn't say anything, and directly chose one hundred Jinyiwei masters, one hundred Dongchang masters, and two hundred court ladies, and just brought his entourage into the city of Madrid under the escort of the Spanish palace guards, and went straight to the palace.

To be honest, he is a little nervous now, because he still hasn't figured out what Philip IV means.

Along the way, Philip IV was well-prepared and courteous, and he was greeted according to the highest standard. The number of warships and personnel used was so large that he was even suspected of swollen face to pretend to be fat. However, he himself But he refused to show up for a long time. Could it be that he doesn't welcome himself!
