The artillery fire was roaring, and the people in the port were crying, moaning, and wailing, but the warships in the port had no mercy. The artillery blew the entire port into ruins like raindrops, and then it left.

Li Chonghai stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the fleet's results, and his face was also cold. Now he recalled his father Li Jie's teachings to him, especially before he went to war, Li Jie told him that this conquest of Europe was particularly important, because it was a competition between two civilizations and could not tolerate any kindness and had to defeat all their potential in one battle.

Originally, Li Chonghai thought his father was a bit of a big deal, because the Ming Dynasty is now the most powerful country in the world. Even the princes assigned to him are now dominating the country, and there is no place to compare with their wise people.

However, after coming to Europe, Li Chonghai also learned in detail about the situation in Europe through Zhu Quan. It turned out that although Europe was behind, it was not much behind. They were able to build muskets and muskets, and their technology was also beneficial, and they even had a certain foundation in scientific research.

In addition, Europe has a large population. If they are allowed to develop, they may really threaten the Ming Dynasty.

"No wonder my father attaches so much importance to this place!" Li Chonghai sighed and said with a sigh of relief when he thought of this. No matter how great the potential Europe has, it is not scary now, because he is here, and this time he will definitely completely destroy the potential here.

"Zhonghai, good news, Portugal and the Spanish surrendered!" At this moment, Zhu Quan walked over excitedly and said loudly.

"So fast?" Li Chonghai frowned when he heard this. He also wanted to use war to destroy Europe's potential. The navies of these two countries were the most prosperous. The Portuguese had even sent their fleets to Africa to compete with Zhu Quan.

"Hehe, these Europeans are timid and timid on the outside, and they are afraid of death at heart. We bombarded several of their ports, so they couldn't stand it. They sent people to express their willingness to surrender, but the conditions for surrender still need to be negotiated." Zhu Quan smiled again.

After Zhu Quan occupied Egypt, he dealt with Europeans a lot, and he was very familiar with these people.

"What are the conditions to discuss in surrender? I think they don't want to surrender at all!" Li Chonghai snorted coldly when he heard this. He was a soldier, and for him, the ultimate goal of the enemy without surrender was his.

"I think so too. They probably don't give up and want to protect some interests in the face of defeat, so I plan to let them go and bombard them with a few more ports to see if they can still withstand it!" Zhu Quan was also a soldier, and his mind was exactly the same as Li Chonghai.

So the fleet continued to move forward and even bombarded several Spanish ports, not even some fishing ports. As for the Portuguese, their territory was too small and the port had been bombed twice.

Faced with the powerful Zhu Quan and the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese and the Spanish finally gave up their fantasies and surrendered to Zhu Quan and the Ming Dynasty unconditionally, while Zhu Quan proposed a very harsh treaty.

The treaty stipulates that Portugal and the Spaniards abandoned the navy and strictly prohibited the construction of any ships used for combat. They must be subject to Zhu Quan's review at any time. In addition, various industries across the country must be opened, and no thresholds are allowed for the Ming Dynasty's goods, etc., and even the customs of the two countries are controlled by Zhu Quan.

It can be said that in addition to retaining nominal independence, the two countries almost gave up the navy and customs. According to the treaty, they also had to compensate the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Quan, Zhu Bai and others for a large amount of money. Because their previous piracy brought considerable losses to the Ming Dynasty, and the consumption of this military dispatch was all counted on them.

With the signing of the treaty, the two countries completely lost the qualification to compete with the Ming people at sea, but the war did not end because there was another England that did not settle accounts with them. The previous naval battle between the two sides was fought off the coast of Spain. After the English were defeated, they fled back.

So after a little rest, Li Chonghai immediately led the fleet to the north. After arriving in England, he also launched violent shelling on their ports.

During this period, the English had already established London as the capital, which was also the most important port city in England. The city was not large in size, and the entire city was only 50,000 or 60,000 people, but in places like Europe, it was already a very famous city.

After Li Chonghai's fleet destroyed the port in London, Zhu Quan also sent troops to land, and soon captured the palace of the English and controlled the port.

Because when Li Chonghai came to Europe, Li Jie told him that the Ming Dynasty would set up a stronghold in Europe, and England, which was isolated overseas, was undoubtedly the best choice, so they occupied the city and had to station troops here.

The English did not wait long for the surrender. After losing the capital, they could only retreat to the original capital Winchester. The current King Henry VI was famously weak in history. In addition, the Hundred Years' War between England and France had not yet ended, which had long left the people of England in poverty. Therefore, facing strong foreign enemies, they had no strength to resist at all.

The same treaty was signed in England again, but compared with the previous harsh terms, there is now another clause to cede London. Although it was extremely humiliating to cede the capital to the enemy, Henry VI was afraid of the artillery and warships of the Ming army, and finally signed the treaty.

With the signing of this treaty, it also means that the Ming Dynasty finally reached its hands to Europe. London will become the bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty to control Europe and will also become the nail for the Ming Dynasty to nail here.

The war ended, and the warships of King Xiang, King Chu and others also returned one after another. They received a lot of compensation and obtained the right to navigate in Europe. Zhu Quan also promised them that their ships would also receive tax incentives when they passed through the canal in the future.

Zhu Quan was also busy with the end of the post-war period. Although the treaty was signed, it still needed to be implemented specifically. He was closest to Europe and had the deepest interests in Europe, so he naturally contributed the most.

However, the London garrison did not let Zhu Quan intervene, but kept taking Li Chonghai in charge. After he rested in London for several months, the subsequent garrison troops also arrived one after another. Only then did Li Chonghai hand over to them and led a fleet to march around the coastal armed forces in England and the European continent. After showing enough deterrence, they arrived in the Mediterranean and joined Zhu Quan.

Li Chonghai came to see Zhu Quan and said goodbye to him, but he did not want to return to the Ming Dynasty, but had another task. This task was ordered by Zhu Yunxi. Their fleet needed to cross the Atlantic Ocean, arrive in America, and then bypass the Americas, and then return from America to the Ming Dynasty to achieve the feat of traveling around the world.
