180 allies!
......
"... our Pathfinder boat team was killed by the Ming army, and the latter group successfully dragged down the Ming army's forwards, but it was later proved that the Ming army's forwards deliberately slowed down in order to drag us down and give the Ming people a chance to fight a decisive battle."
"What is the strength of the Ming army?"
At this point, the king felt that neither side had made a mistake.
Lisbon general bowed his head and said, "they don't have many ships, less than half of us..."
"Is it a firearm or a general?"
"Your Majesty, their firearms are very powerful."
The general of Lisbon began to tell the story of the fierce battle between the two sides. When he heard that the coalition was the main attack at the beginning, the king was a little excited.
"... they defend first. Yes, on the way back, your highness once said that Ming people look very kind. They don't take the initiative to attack others. They like to wait for others to fight first and then fight back..."
"The devil is the leader."
The general of Lisbon said: "he has terrible patience and observation. We have been attacking. During this period, several loopholes were exposed, and he remained silent. He didn't launch a counterattack until we began to worry and the whole army was pressed..."
"Tell me about the demon God."
The king suddenly interrupted the report and asked Henry.
Henry felt a little embarrassed. As a strong advocate of sailing to find the new world, he was regarded as a hero by Reese himself, but he became a prisoner in the Ming Dynasty. If Fang Xing had not somehow released him, he could only stay in the Ming Dynasty.
"He is a man of firm will. He has his own goals and views on the ocean. No, he should be greedy for the ocean and eager to control the sea."
Henry gradually recovered his calm. "He has a great reputation on land. He is very cruel and murderous."
The king asked, "is his battlefield on land or sea?"
"Both."
Henry was very embarrassed and said, "it is said that he destroyed several countries, but now Daming can't find an enemy on land, so he is like a bloodthirsty devil, moving the battlefield to the sea."
The king kept panting in a low voice. When he recovered a little, he asked, "what does he think of us? How much influence can he exert on Daming?"
These are two very sensitive questions that highlight the king's professionalism.
Henry said, "the count is indifferent to us. He is alert to our ambitions for the sea, which he once clearly told. As for influence, it is said that he has a very close relationship with the emperor. Yes, he is a favorite minister."
The king was disappointed and said, "yes, that's bad news. What else can we expect?"
In the dead silence, the king looked tired, so someone took Smith and others away, but Henry and Lisbon generals stayed.
The king cheered up and said, "well, we failed, shameful failure. But this failure is not only Lisbon's, but also canary and frank's. They will go crazy, but we don't need to worry too much..."
A minister said, "Your Majesty, we must worry a little..."
"Ming people's attack?"
The king nodded to Henry and said, "Henry, tell me about it."
Henry said, "yes, this needs to be worried, but it depends on the choice of people. If they come, even if the warships are covered with the sea off Lisbon, can they land?"
The king's eyes were bright and said, "go ahead, my child. Yes, I think it's a wise analysis."
Henry smiled at everyone. "If they land, we just need to hold on. We destroy all the food and all the water. What can they do?"
He said confidently, "you know, Daming is very far away from here. One supply can make Ming people crazy, and it can't play much role."
He looked at the king and said, "yes, father, the Ming people can only blockade us, but we should not forget their opponents on land."
The Kingdom's waist straightened. His right hand left the armrest of the chair and put it on his chin. He smiled and said, "yes, whether ha lie or meat fans, they will take the opportunity to attack. When Ming people are crazy and want to attack us from thousands of miles away, they will certainly take advantage of it."
Henry bowed his head and said, "yes, father, as wise you think, they won't, at least the count will oppose this act of suicide."
"How was their emperor?"
The king was obviously interested in knowing about his colleague in the East, while Henry looked strange.
"He is very dignified. Against the backdrop of the tall palace and a group of imperial officials, he looks very dignified, but also very cold."
"Anything else?"
"He is not interested in us, not at all. He seems to be overlooking us. It feels very bad and makes people want to burn down the gorgeous palace and prosperous city."
Henry looked angry when he said this. The king smiled and said, "can you?"
Henry smiled too. "No, father."
The king sighed, "yes! I feel sad for the warriors when I hear the mountains of heads. What should we do? What should Lisbon do if the canary and frank won't give in to the Ming people?"
"I have thought about this problem for more than a year."
At the moment, Henry seemed very calm, and those ministers and his big brother could not hide his glory.
"Lisbon's national strength is not the most powerful. If the canary and the Franks join hands, we will lose."
A minister said impatiently, "yes, your highness, we all know this, but we want to know something we don't know."
This man is a confidant of brother Henry.
Henry nodded: "well, then I'll tell you how strong Ming people are. They have a large population and have a strong national strength. Everyone can eat and wear at least decent clothes. Their coastline is very long, which will give them a lot of places suitable for shipbuilding..."
"Their army, we want to know how their army is!"
In the face of these impatience, Henry said calmly: "their army is very strong, and their firearms are also equipped with the army, and they are very elite. I feel that their elite army... For example, an army commanded by the count is called Jubao mountain. That army makes people believe that even if there is an abyss ahead, they will still fall one by one as long as there is an order."
"Terrible army."
When Henry saw someone surprised, he smiled and said, "yes, and the count. He was invincible on land, but he still behaved like a giant beast on the sea."
"He has never been impatient. We can see from his indifference in Peiping that he can endure for a long time for a certain goal. It's terrible."
The king couldn't help asking, "what's his status in Daming?"
"He is the favorite Minister of the emperor and the famous general of the Ming Dynasty."
Henry saw some people's faces with bitterness, so he warned, "that's a madman, calm madman. Once Lisbon angered him, believe me, he will make us pay a nightmare price."
"He cares about war?"
A minister asked.
Henry nodded, "yes, at least he can influence the emperor's decision to fight abroad."
"Well, this is a bloodthirsty devil. I think I know something."
The king got up, moved his sour legs, looked at the dome and said, "it's a huge country. There are cold emperors, bloodthirsty generals, fighting troops and decent people. What do we have?"
Lisbon has nothing!
The ministers had been waiting for the king to make a judgment, and now he spoke his judgment.
Most people breathed a sigh of relief, but a few looked ugly.
Henry knew the details of those people. They were all fanatics of external expansion.
The king knew this better, so he said, "supply them and repair the ships, and then let them go."
"Yes, your majesty, the canary and frank must be eager to hear the news."
This made everyone laugh. Even if the losses were heavy, the monarchs and ministers here were happy in the face of more losses from the two big countries.
