If the Ming fleet in Lisbon had not been dispersed, each country would definitely have contributed all its warships. However, now the Ming fleet, even with the Portuguese fleet, is less than 400 ships, so the fleets that have been assembled now are absolutely enough for the European countries!

Of course, there are also people who are worried. On the British side, for example, Robert was worried about the kind of ironclad smoking battleships.

However, they didn't know how many of these new warships were in the Ming fleet? Although people were sent to inquire about the news, the Portuguese were very united, and the people sent there were basically unable to move an inch without being discovered, so that they did not inquire much useful information.

However, after Robert and others discussed, they could probably estimate that there should be no more than ten ships at most.

As far as ordinary warships are concerned, the combined warships of European countries are definitely more powerful than the warships of the Ming Kingdom. In this way, the advantages cancel each other out, and the number of your own warships is three to five times that of the Ming warships, and in all probability, the combined fleet will win.

So, after the fleets of the European countries were assembled, they set off for Lisbon in a mighty way.

……………………

The warships of various European countries were assembled with such fanfare, and the Portuguese side, as long as they were not deaf, of course, would have known about it for a long time. Therefore, from the very beginning, it was proposed that while the fleets of European countries had not yet been assembled, they would preemptively dispatch fleets to destroy them individually!

However, this suggestion was not adopted. Princess Catherine told them not to worry, with the Ming fleet stationed here, it would definitely be fine.

Seeing that she was so confident, the Portuguese were relieved a lot, and turned to heated discussions, asking Catherine to change her title to queen. Arguably, this topic has become the hottest topic in Lisbon.

The bar in the middle of nowhere has been renovated, although the location remains the same, but it is much more luxurious. The crowd of people coming in and out, whether it is dressed or mental, is very good.

In the bar, it's no longer just about drinking bad wine. There are a lot of them, even drinking alcohol that they have never drunk before.

The wine is yellow, not chilled, but needs to be heated, and the air is filled with the smell of wine.

The tall, thin man who used to be one of the regulars of the bar, Ludkinf slapped the counter and said, "Give me a cup of Daughter Red, it's going to be hot." ”

"Daughter red? It is recommended that you still have a cup of champion red, this is good! When the drinker heard this, he laughed and said, "Do you know what a champion is?" is the first place in the imperial examination of the Ming Kingdom, and he will be the prime minister in the future. Have a drink, go and make a man at night, maybe you will be a champion son! ”

When Raff heard this, he also laughed and said: "Wrong, it's not called the prime minister, but the first assistant!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the bartender and said, "Okay, let's have a cup of champion red!" The older the year, the better, and I can afford it now! ”

Subsequently, he popularized knowledge to his partners and said: "Let me tell you, this kind of wine of Daming is the longer the vintage, the more fragrant it is." There is a custom in Daming, if you give birth to a boy, you will brew good wine and bury it in the ground and wait, and in the future, the son will dig it out when he wins the champion, which is the champion red! ”

"Tsk, Daming's wine is cultured! European wine is so cheesy to compare! ”

“……”

After chatting for a while, the conversation quickly shifted to the topics they were most concerned about.

"You say, why is Her Highness Catherine so slow to ascend the throne as Queen?"

"Could it be that His Royal Highness wants to return to Daming, so he doesn't want to ascend the throne and become king!"

"What about us in Portugal? Now there is only one person in the royal family, His Royal Highness Catherine! ”

"Could it be that in the future, we will have another king in Portugal? Could it be General Anders? ”

"This is not good, although General Anders has made a lot of contributions, but fortunately, His Highness's bloodline has not been broken!"

"That's it! Besides, now if we in Portugal leave the Ming Dynasty, we will die again. I don't want to live my old days. If Her Royal Highness Catherine were to be the queen, then Daming would never ignore Portugal. When it comes to the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty, maybe he will pay more attention to our Portugal! ”

"That's right, we are the kings of Portugal, and we cannot be anyone else. If Her Royal Highness Catherine refuses to agree, how about we go and petition? ”

"Okay, let's go together, for the future of our Portugal, everyone goes!"

“……”

Just as the atmosphere in the bar was warm, I don't know if I was really worried about the future of Portugal, or because I had drunk too much, everyone was coaxing to get ready to go out immediately.

But at this moment, I saw a rich middle-aged man walk in outside the door, and when he saw the appearance in the bar, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What are you going to do?" ”

When Ludkinf saw this, he couldn't help but smile on his face and said, "Raff, you came just in time!" ”

When the others heard this, they followed suit.

Clueless, Raff said a little inexplicably: "What's going on, could it be that it has something to do with me?" ”

Luther Kimf knew him best, and immediately asked him loudly: "You are most familiar with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and now that the throne of the Queen has been hanging in the air, what does Her Royal Highness mean by the Princess?" ”

"Yes, what does Her Royal Highness mean? You have to ask! ”

“……”

Hearing their babbling, Raff immediately understood, and immediately laughed and said, "I really just got a letter about this!" ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone was happy, a little curious in their hearts, and they asked one after another.

Raff walked in and finished it, and the bartender didn't wait for an order to bring him a glass of the bar's best-selling champion red. And the other drinkers, who couldn't care about drinking, surrounded him one after another.

Raff smiled and took a sip of Zhuangyuan Red, tasted it for a while before swallowing it and said, "Let me tell you, this Ming specialty wine, it should be a side dish." Cooking wine on heroes know not ......"

If you usually hear about this kind of wine culture, these drunkards like to listen to it the most. But at this time, he was interrupted and asked directly about Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine.

Seeing their anxious looks, Raff finally stopped their appetite, and immediately smiled and said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine has given birth to a prince, who is already three years old. With the consent of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the prince of Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine was allowed to be the king of Portugal! ”

Speaking of this, he raised his voice and said: "This is the blood of His Royal Highness, and he is still the grandson of Emperor Daming, and the son of Emperor Daming in the future." You say, if he is our king, will we be stable in Portugal in the future? ”

Hearing this, the bar was quiet for a while, and then suddenly there was a commotion.

"Okay, this is really good, see who will dare to bully us Portugal in the future!"

"Yes, yes, I have the blood of His Royal Highness, and I am still the grandson of Emperor Ming. Could it be that His Royal Highness the King married Catherine to Daming in the first place, and had such a plan? ”

“……”

These people in the bar are all relieved, feeling that they will be guaranteed in the future. In the cheers, the sound of cheers is endless.

Seeing this, Raff clapped his hands and made a "pop" sound, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Everyone!" Raff said loudly, "I'll pay for the news in the bar today, everyone drink to your heart's content!" ”

Hearing this, there was a bang, and everyone cheered. Luther Kiff even smiled and said: "Raff, don't think that you have a lot of money to make again, believe it or not, I drink you poor!" ”

"It's a brother's, just drink me poor, haha!" Raff listened and responded with a smile.

When the others heard it, they all interjected to compliment Raff, this is the big money owner! Who let him have a relationship in the palace.

The bar was laughing, and suddenly, another person rushed in from outside, looking a little nervous, and shouted loudly to the people in the bar: "Oh no, the latest news, the United Fleet is coming to our Lisbon!" ”

Hearing this, the bar suddenly fell silent again.

Afterwards, one of the guests said disapprovingly: "It's okay, Her Royal Highness Catherine has known for a long time, and the people above are not panicking, they must have been prepared." ”

"Yes, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, and Her Royal Highness the princess is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?"

“……”

Hearing this, this person immediately became anxious, and hurriedly shouted loudly again: "There are more than a thousand warships in the United Fleet, and they are all that kind of large warships!" ”

After hearing this, the bar suddenly fell silent again. Such a large fleet is really very rare in Europe. The most important thing is that the warships that are now parked in the port of Lisbon, including the Ming and Portugal's own, do not know about the three hundred.

The difference in the number of battleships seems to be a little too much!

Therefore, after Ludkinf came to his senses, he was a little anxious, and hurriedly said to Raff: "The number of this combined fleet seems to be too much, you hurry up and tell Her Royal Highness the princess, and quickly recall the fleet in the Mediterranean, right?" ”

If the Ming warships are all in Lisbon, don't say that there are only more than 1,000 of them now, even if there are more of them, then they are not afraid.

"That's right, hurry up and urge Her Royal Highness the princess, it's too late to come back, Lisbon is in danger!"

“……”

Before, the reply given to them by the palace made them feel that if there was really a war, the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty would definitely come back. That's confidence, so I'm not afraid.

But now, the combined fleet has already driven to Lisbon, but Daming's huge fleet has no trace, and whether they can come back in time is what they are most worried about.

Raff listened, stretched out his hand to signal them all to be quiet, and then said to them: "I have asked Her Royal Highness the princess about this matter before, and said what if the fleet cannot return in time?" It's better to send warships in time and break them all safely. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, but they didn't want Raff's words to change their minds.
