The original towns in the Portuguese Kingdom had become increasingly riots over time. In Lisbon, the call for His Highness Princess Catherine to send troops to rescue her compatriots was getting higher and higher.

In the end, the result of Katherine and Zheng Zhilong's discussion was that a portion of the military supplies transported by the Ming army with the fleet was allocated to arm the Portuguese, and then, under the leadership of Anders, went to regain other towns.

The Spanish defenders from all over the country did not know about this real situation. They were already panicked, but when they heard that the enemy was coming, they didn't want to defend at all. They just loaded the property collected from the city into the car and ran away.

If they don't run away, unless they kill all the Portuguese in the city, they will definitely respond internally and externally. Only by taking advantage of the war to evacuate, the Portuguese at the local area will be powerless to stop them.

In this way, all the towns that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Portugal were restored in almost no time. For a moment, the queen's call was very high. Anders' reputation reached its peak. Even many Portuguese shouted to counterattack Spain and take revenge.

The Spanish were frightened at once. In the panic, they felt that they would be attacked by the joint army of Ming and Portugal at any time. For a moment, soldiers from all over the country gathered in border towns. Philip IV, without waiting for the convening of the Paris Conference, borrowed troops from France.

This is a big deal! In addition, we had previously discussed jointly against the Ming Dynasty and the British lobbying everywhere. The news of the Ming army's attack spread with unprecedented news.

This time, European countries were finally scared. The huge fleet of Ming Dynasty finally realized that it was really not something that a single European country could do if they wanted to deal with the Ming army.

Therefore, the British lobbying went very smoothly. All the European countries along the coast responded and agreed to assemble a fleet to face the invasion of the huge fleet of Ming Dynasty.

Oran is a harbor city on the southern coast of the Mediterranean. It was originally discovered by the Arabs. However, it was captured by Spain in the 16th century. If it were based on the original historical development, it would have been taken away by the Ottoman Empire in the early 18th century.

However, on this plane, the Ottoman Empire cannot protect itself, let alone expand.

At this time, there were seven or eight Spanish sail warships parked here at the port. Many sailors were on vacation in the bars on the shore.

As for men, they drink wine and always talk about major events, rather than those of the family matters. So, the hottest topic in the whole bar is the situation in Portugal.

"Have you heard of it? It is said that the Governor has received the decree of His Highness the King, asking him to give up here and lead his troops back to his country!"

"I also heard that the Ming fleet is too large. The whole of Europe needs to unite so that we can compete with the Ming fleet!"

"So, we only have less than ten warships on our side of Oran, so we won't let it go?"

"That's sure! But I heard that the Governor was a little reluctant. After all, it was a pity to give up Oran!"

"Yes, so we can have a free time here to drink!"

"In fact, it's not that the Governor is unwilling to leave. I heard that all the nobles in Oran would not let the Governor go. Without our protection, the people of the Ming Dynasty were very barbaric and would not spit out bones!"

"Do you think we can protect it? Just us?"

“…”

While they were discussing, suddenly, a loud voice shouted: "You are all worrying about it. Will the Ming fleet come to us? If I want to say, it must be along the Atlantic coast north to sweep our Spanish coast, or to fight the French, or to fight the British. Our Auran is the safest place. So, the Governor is..."

I didn't finish my words, but the meaning was already very obvious. After all, I actually thought it was too dangerous to go back to Spain, so there was no movement in Oran.

After understanding this, the people in the bar looked at each other and understood it. It was impossible to say it. Otherwise, if it was heard in the ears of the governor, something big would happen.

So, the sailors were laughing and staying here and not facing powerful enemies, of course they were willing to do so. At most, after European countries began to assemble and their troops were strong enough, they would go back.

Just like that, they put aside their worries and drank and guessed Catherine's situation in the East.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of "boom boom boom" guns.

They were all very sensitive to this voice. Suddenly, they put down their glasses and ran out. This made the bartender shout loudly from behind: "Checkout, checkout..."

But no one paid attention to him at all.

After the sailors ran out of the bar, they saw the situation at the port at a glance. The dense masts were parked outside the port. Several of them were closer to the port and fired a round of cannons there.

It is obvious that the artillery this time was not bombarding the target, but gave Oran a warning. It means whether you surrender or not?

Although these Spanish sailors had never seen the Ming flag, such a large fleet could not have any other forces except for the legendary Ming fleet!

How could such a huge fleet be able to fight?

No sailor was willing to run to the warship, and after a while they were dazed, they all fled to the city. The sailors still on the warship did not fire their artillery to fight, and also jumped out of the warship, almost rolled and crawled to the shore. Some of the unlucky people were even squeezed into the sea, and immediately swam ashore, and then fled to the city.

Not long after, the city was in chaos. Well-dressed headless flies were everywhere, running around. Later, the crowd ran to the south of the city, left the city, and retreated inland.

The Ming general on the sea flagship was Zheng Zhilong's brother Zheng Hongkui. Seeing this, he grinned and was not surprised at all. This harbor town was reserved as a supply point for the Ming fleet.

The fleet began to dock, and a total of two thousand Ming troops and one hundred Portuguese troops came ashore to receive Oran from the Fu ship behind.

The Ming army soldiers walked along the way and found discarded things everywhere on the ground. Apart from that, no one saw a figure. The doors of the houses on both sides of the street were all closed. Obviously, if they had not escaped, they would have been hiding in the house.

When I passed by the Governor's Mansion, I could occasionally hear the cry of children coming from the streets and houses. However, I was then covered by someone and the crying stopped.

The Ming army soldiers ignored this and began to gradually accept various warehouses and other facilities. Speaking of which, they really scared the Spaniards, and they didn't have time to take away many supplies, which made the Ming army cheaper.

As for why it was not burned, according to the speculation of the Portuguese soldiers, it was probably that it angered the Ming army, so it deliberately did not burn it.

"Haha, it seems that the Spanish are very sensible!" The Ming soldiers came to this conclusion.

Subsequently, the Ming Dynasty flags were raised everywhere in the city of Oran.

Aolan will be in the Ming Dynasty from now on!

Obviously, the soldiers of the Ming Navy are all fulfilling the ambition of planting the Ming flag at the end of the ocean.

The expected break in, smashing and looting, and even the so-called eating people without spitting bones, did not happen in the end. Three days later, the people of Aolan finally understood what the Ming army was like, and Aolan finally became angry again.

It was not until this time that Zheng Hongkui led the fleet to continue east along the southern coast of the Mediterranean. His purpose was to reach the easternmost side of the Mediterranean and meet with the Ming army there.

And this slow eastward advance naturally could not hide the news. After a while, the news about it finally reached the north shore of the Mediterranean.

European countries immediately guessed that the Ming fleet in Lisbon had chosen to advance eastward to the Mediterranean, and they were going to join the Ming army in the Ottoman side. Thinking that if the Ming army there continued to travel to Portugal along the southern coast of the Mediterranean, the Ming army's strength would increase greatly. This was obviously not what European countries would like to see.

In this way, the landlocked European countries, who were originally thinking about seeing the situation, became active in the joint anti-Ming. The Second Paris Conference was held at a speed that had never been seen before.

Moreover, the level of personnel representing various countries to attend the meeting this time was far higher than the first time. Louis XIV presided over the meeting himself again, and there was no incident in which he left.

The most important topics of the meeting are as follows:

First, where do the fleets of various countries gather, how to deal with logistics supplies, and who will command, or jointly command?

Second, the armies of various countries must also gather, where, where are the supplies, who are the commanding generals, how many troops are sent by each country, and which target the army's attack?

Even if the representatives of the participating countries want to reach an agreement earlier, it does not mean that they can reach an agreement in one go. After all, it has a big relationship.

At this time, the representative of the Spanish king was still the previous one, Don Juan Jose, of Austria, who was warned by Philip IV, and strongly advocated that the army of various countries could gather in Spain. However, as long as the elite troops were strongly strong, a country could not exceed 5,000, and the logistics could be borne by Spain for a month.

As for the navy, he didn't say much. The more voices were the fleet on the Atlantic Ocean, gathering in France. The materials were brought by various countries, but France also had to provide supplies. In return, the commander was appointed by France.

In addition, the fleets in the Mediterranean all went to Austria to assemble. After the preparations were completed, they could attack Portugal at the same time.

After bargaining, it was probably decided.

Subsequently, orders from various countries were sent to various places one by one, and both the fleet and the army began to assemble.
Chapter completed!
