In the Portuguese palace, dozens of Portuguese aristocrats and Ming generals were chatting and laughing under the Portuguese flag with bright lights and red and green.

Navy Secretary Medina was wearing a Portuguese naval uniform and a wide range of medals hung on her chest, which were all the pride left by the last war.

At this time, he was happily talking to Shi Lang. Shi Lang was also wearing a blue Ming naval uniform, dragging a somewhat inconvenient right leg, which was also the pride left by the last war.

Medina's words were full of admiration for the Ming Dynasty striker. She praised her from time to time and introduced her generals to each other.

Suddenly, a loud command echoed throughout the hall: "His Majesty the King is here!"

Suddenly, all the Portuguese officers turned to the door of the hall and stood straight at the sight, and the hall was silent.

Joao IV, the Portuguese Kingdom, was dressed in military uniform, with white gloves and shiny swords, and strode in.

Behind him are Portuguese princess Catherine, the Ming Ocean commander Wu Zhong, and Zhu Chenggong, the commander of the joint fleet.

Catherine was wearing a noble, exquisite dress and the diamond crown on her head shone with a brilliant light, marking her identity as a princess.

Wu Zhong was wearing a gorgeous python robe and greeted the generals of the two countries with a smile.

The most anticipated thing is Yanping Bo Zhu Chenggong, who was called the God of War by Portugal. His heroic figure and confident steps have become the focus of the hall, and his popularity has vaguely surpassed King Joao IV.

When Joao IV came over, all the nobles and great figures in Portugal bowed slightly and said softly: "I have seen His Majesty the King and His Highness the Princess."

Joao IV nodded and sat down on the throne. Princess Catherine bit her lip and sat next to her lower head in her skirt.

The seats were arranged very knowledgeable this time. In the middle were Joao IV and Catherine. The Ming Ocean was sending the imperial envoy Wu Zhong to stand on the right of Joao IV. The generals of the Ming Dynasty also stood on the right one in turn, while the Portuguese nobles and generals stood on the left one row.

The Ming Dynasty emphasized the importance of taking the left as respect, while the West was just the opposite, and the right as respect. This subtle position made the foreign envoy present clearly feel Portugal’s policy towards the Ming Dynasty, and this is to recognize the elder brother!

(In ancient China, respecting the right or respecting the left, different dynasties and dynasties. From the pre-Qin to the Western Han Dynasty, the right was generally respected; among them, the pre-Qin and Qin dynasties focused on respecting the left, while the Western Han Dynasty focused more on respecting the right; from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, a system of respecting the left was gradually formed; after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it was stipulated that the right was respected.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he inherited the Tang and Song ritual systems, and regarded the left as the supreme system. This system was used by the Ming Dynasty and was used for more than 500 years in the Qing Dynasty.)

The envoys of several countries could understand that since Portugal became independent and separated from the Habsburg family group led by Spain, they have never been accepted by another group, and even the Pope refused to recognize their independence.

Nowadays, Portugal has an embarrassing position in Europe. If you don’t choose a major country in the East, can you have other choices?

If so, Portugal can only pay a heavier price in exchange for the qualification to hold the British or French thighs.

Obviously, Joao IV chose the lowest price and became in-laws and allies with the Ming Dynasty by relying on his daughter and the Eastern colonies.

At this time, if anyone else regards Joao as a fool in the fourth generation of his life, he will be really stupid.

After arranging the position, Ruo Ao No. 4 nodded to both sides with a smile and talked happily.

"Everyone knows how dark the Habsburg dynasty ruled to the extent that the people's uprisings under their rule have frequently occurred. Everyone knows that this time, Spain organized such a large-scale operation, actively invading our capital of Portugal, burning, killing, and robbing, and doing all kinds of evil..."

"We do our best to survive, grow and grow, and bring hope to the suffering people in this dark land!"

Joao IV was very eloquent and prepared well. He first denounced the Spanish Invincible Fleet's misconduct, and then raised the matter to Portugal's independence style. Finally, he declared to the whole world that whether Spain and the Pope admit it or not, Portugal has the strength to be independent!

Wu Zhong nodded and announced solemnly: "My Ming Empire recognizes the sovereignty and integrity of Portugal. He will set up an embassy in Lisbon and send envoys to enhance the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries!"

After Wu Zhong finished speaking, a whisper of admiration sounded in the hall.

The French envoy fixed his eyes on Wu Zhong, carefully looked at the personal manager of the Eastern Empire emperor, and carefully recalled what he had just said.

Then, Joao IV emphasized this naval battle and announced the great results of the joint fleet.

After several naval battles, the Spanish Invincible Fleet's seventy warships were burned down by the joint fleet, 23 were sunk, and twenty were crippled and captured. The rest ran away in panic. Half of the 12,000 Spanish soldiers who participated in the war were killed by the Ming and Portuguese coalition forces, and suffered heavy losses.

People sighed that once upon a time, the powerful and wealthy Spanish Empire was once again hit hard since the Thirty Years' War, and began to decline and the rivers were falling.

Joao IV still had some shame. He did not take the credit for this war on the Portuguese Navy like the later North Korea. Instead, he emphasized that the main force of the joint fleet was the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty.

The losses of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty were also considerable. Fifteen warships were sunk, more than twenty were damaged to varying degrees, and more than a thousand naval soldiers died overseas.

Joao IV said sadly: "Their majestic and brilliant Ming soldiers and warships, their sacrifices are the most heartbreaking things I have seen in my life. Every real Portuguese will be sad and cry when they see them."

Although he was doing a show, he performed well and the atmosphere on the scene gradually became heavier.

Then Joao IV promised in public that Portugal would invest in repairing the lost Ming warships, and the royal family would open a garden in Lisbon to bury and commemorate the fallen Ming soldiers!

This was the result of Wu Zhong and he just discussed. Due to the long journey, the Ming Ocean Fleet obviously could not bring the bodies of the fallen soldiers back to their hometown and could only be buried on the spot.

After the ocean fleet returns home soon, it will bring the military uniforms, weapons and other personal supplies of the fallen soldiers back to the Ming Dynasty and set up a tomb in the Loyal Soul Temple.

According to the discussion, the noble master captured by the Spanish Invincible Fleet will be handed over to the Ming Dynasty for the Fourth Generation of Joao, and will be killed or cut.

Joao IV knew very well that it would be difficult to lock up the nobles of the Habsburg dynasty in Portugal.

If executed, the Spanish King Philip IV would be angry and might send the army to fight.

If it is not killed or detained, Spain will definitely send people to ask for it. If it is not released, it may even threaten it every now and then, causing border conflicts again.

If it is handed over to the Ming Dynasty, it will be fine. Moreover, the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty also took the initiative to extradite these war criminals to the Ming Dynasty for trial and labor reform.

In fact, Wu Zhong wanted to take these war criminals back to offer prisoners.
