The Portuguese general Medici looked at all this in astonishment. He couldn't help but sigh: "The Easterners' troops are well-trained and fight without fear of death. They only shoot when they dare to approach us! Their strategies and tactics are amazing. We are in front of them." There is really a big gap in front of us!"
"kill!"
With that said, Midici also chased after him with his Portuguese army.
Naturally, he was not willing to miss this opportunity to beat up a drowned dog.
…
"Failed?!"
Felipe IV was also shocked when he learned that the first Spanish troops he had assembled were defeated outside Villaviciosa.
"Yes! I think we need to accept the demands of the Easterners and negotiate with them, otherwise, we will really perish as a nation!"
Dweck had to say.
After hearing this, Felipe IV's breathing became rapid. He looked at Diwek and asked angrily: "Do you mean to hand over my king to those Easterners for punishment?!"
"We have no other choice. If you don't do this, the nobles staying in Madrid will surrender because of your selfishness!"
"Facts have proved that we are no match for these Easterners, not to mention the despicable Portuguese joining us, and our relations with France and other countries are not good, so we have no help! Please, Your Majesty the King, for the sake of the Habsburg dynasty In the future, I will take the initiative to apologize to the Holy Emperor of the East!"
Spanish noble Willen followed.
Felipe IV was very desperate. He couldn't help but look at Juantu: "Duke Juantu, you wouldn't want to see me captured by the Orientals, right?"
Juantu remained silent.
Felipe IV therefore asked: "Why don't you speak?"
As he said that, Felipe IV yelled at him: "Speak!"
Juantu raised his head in shame, looked at Felipe IV and said: "Dear Your Majesty the King! This is indeed an unprecedented disaster for our Spanish Empire. It is indeed a great shame for us to sacrifice you. , because it means that we cannot protect our own king, and if we cannot protect our own king, we cannot make our country independent! However, Dweck is right, we need to accept the reality now, they may be sent by God to teach us a lesson Yes, the reason is that we Spaniards may have really done too many sins, and God is merciful. He is not willing to punish all Spaniards, so he only lets the Easterners punish you. Please accept them. Punishment, for your people!"
"I won't agree! I won't agree!"
Felipe IV roared loudly, very excited.
At this time, many Spanish soldiers broke in wearing armor and holding knives.
As their leader, Willen said: "Please accept God's arrangement, Your Majesty the King!"
Felipe IV looked at all this and shook his head reluctantly: "No, no, this is not God's arrangement. God will not arrange Eastern people to do such things. Those people from the East, they are not God's messengers, They are devils! You, how can you sacrifice this king to those devils from the east!"
At this time, Willen waved his hand.
Several Spanish soldiers came forward and detained Felipe IV.
Because the Spanish nobles took the initiative to betray their king, the subsequent city of Villaviciosa was destroyed.
Zhang Shouao led his Eastern Army and Portuguese Army into the city of Villaviciosa smoothly.
Not long after this, the nobles of Madrid also actively announced their surrender, expressing their welcome to the Eastern army to come to Madrid and bring God's mission.
In order to make their surrender look more glorious, the archbishops in Madrid, like the nobles of Villaviciosa, tacitly interpreted the arrival of Zhang Shouguo and other Eastern troops as an army sent by God. The arrival of the Eastern army was to punish their unjust king in order to maintain the dignity of their own people in front of the common people.
After that, Zhang Shouao became the de facto ruler of Spain.
If he accepts the culture here or even converts to the religion here, he can directly establish a new dynasty in Spain.
But Zhang Shouao was proud of being a Han Chinese in his own era, so he did not bother to be the master of a group of barbarians in his eyes.
Therefore, Zhang Shouao was still just arranging the next things according to the instructions given by Zhu Youxiao.
First, Zhang Shouao asked the Spanish nobles to introduce a new king so that they could negotiate related matters.
After all, a trip to the Western Ocean is not easy. It only makes sense to reach some agreements and make some contributions to the progress of human civilization.
Soon after, Balthasar Carlos, the eldest son of Felipe IV, became the new king of Spain.
However, the upper-class European nobles of this era liked marriage, and there were more close relatives marrying. Therefore, Balsata Carlos was not in good health and had no intention of handling state affairs. He only left the political power to the great nobles in the country.
In the end, the great nobles elected Huantu and Diwek as representatives to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty and other Confucian countries as well as Portugal.
At the negotiation meeting, various countries quarreled fiercely to carve up the interests of Spain, and Diwek and Juantu also argued hard for their own interests in Spain.
After arguing for more than a month, the two sides finalized the corresponding agreement.
In addition to the fact that both parties must unanimously abide by the basic global order stipulated by the Ming Dynasty in the future, the main content of the agreement is the detailed rules for carving up Spain's interests.
The first is compensation. The Spanish Empire will compensate the Ming Empire for Ying Yang worth 21 million yuan in silver coins. The total compensation to other countries is also worth more than 30 million yuan.
Followed by the cession of territory, Gibraltar and Barcelona were ceded to the Ming Empire.
Roussillon was ceded to Korea.
Foix was ceded to Japan.
Chongzhen Kingdom obtained Lorraine.
The Kingdom of Hirado acquires Artois.
Even Ryukyu acquired Murcia.
Portugal got Salamanca.
In addition, Spain's overseas colonies were also divided up by the powers from the east and Portugal.
The Spanish Empire was officially reduced to a semi-independent and semi-colonial country.
This was an unacceptable shame for the Spanish nobles.
Therefore, when Felipe IV, as a prisoner, saw Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers in Barcelona forcing the nobles in the city to take baths, put on Confucian robes, and Confucian scarves, while the civilians in the city were driven to demolish some Spanish buildings in the city. When constructing statues of historical figures and erecting statues of the Yan and Huang emperors, his heart ached like a knife.
You know, Felipe IV claimed to be the King of the Earth during this period in history.
But now he has to be judged by the Easterners, and even has to watch his empire being divided up by the powers from the East and betrayed by the Portuguese.
For him, this was naturally a great shame and humiliation.
What made him even more unacceptable was that the Portuguese would collude with the pagans in the East to carve up the interests of his empire.
"Despicable Portuguese! God will never forgive your sins!"
Therefore, when Felipe IV saw the Portuguese, he cursed excitedly.
