Lisbon, a cheap bar on a remote street, is where the Portuguese gather. The drinks here are the cheapest kinds, and the Portuguese can't afford to drink them even if they are expensive.

When the Spaniards attacked Lisbon before, almost every family suffered. The whole city was under martial law, and then groups of Spanish soldiers broke into every house, searched for all property, especially related to the East, whether used or not, and looted. If someone dares to resist, or shows a little intention of resisting, directly call it a traitor, kill!

That is, from that day on, the Portuguese in Lisbon can still survive, no matter how big the gap between rich and poor they used to be, but now it is almost the same.

In present-day Lisbon, the first estate is the governor and his men sent by Spain; The second group is people from other countries, such as the French; The third class is the Portuguese, who curry favor with the Spaniards and work for them; At the bottom is the original owner of the city.

The distress of life always has to be complained about, otherwise, life is already very bitter and you will go crazy. Therefore, no matter how much money the Portuguese have in their pockets, they will come to this cheap bar to drink and spit out.

There is wine at the door, but it is safe, if the Spaniards come, just shut up, what else can happen? Of course, if those Portuguese traitors come, they won't be able to find out, but they can't stop coming because they are worried about this, right?

Towards the end of the evening, the Portuguese who had finished their work gathered in this cheap bar again, making the usually deserted bar lively.

No matter how cheap the wine is, there is alcohol. After drinking too much, you will talk a lot, and you will have more words to vent your dissatisfaction.

"It's fucking unpalatable! I think that the best wines of the year, I have a wine cellar! Every day at dinner, I choose a wine to taste! ”

"Haha, Luther Kimfer, wake up, you thought you were rich before! Look at Raff, he used to be richer than you, right? ”

"That's not it, Raff has a relationship in the palace, and I don't know how much money I made from the Daming tea I sold!"

"Shhhh

"What are you afraid of, those bitches who recognize thieves as fathers, if they dare to come, I dare to scold them in front of them. Give me back! ”

"That's it, I'm afraid of what they are, dare to come here, and if he is recognized, he will not find this person in the future!"

“……”

Nostalgia for the previous life and scolding those two devils and traitors is almost a must-have program here. If it could, those Portuguese traitors would never want to come here. Because the Portuguese here's hatred of the Portuguese traitors is not just talking.

If you were recognized, you would have died. Therefore, unless something very big happens, there will be Portuguese traitors who come to such a place to find out the news. Otherwise, it will definitely not come.

In the midst of the noise, Luther King, who had drunk too much, suddenly began to cry. When asked, he replied, "My third child is about to be born, but I can't support it!" ”

Hearing this, although they were all drinking, many people were still silent.

This kind of thing in Luther Kimf is actually a common phenomenon. The only difference is that some people can't support it for a long time, and some people can't support it until now.

After a while, someone said, "Forget it, Luther King, I paid for today's drink, I invited you!" ”

When Luther Kimf heard this, he looked up and said, "Ralph, don't you have three children in your family?" ”

"I can't feed myself anyway, so let's go back and find the Spaniards and die together!" Raff said, his eyes red, and he drank the wine in his glass!

Luther Kimf was a little gloomy when he heard this, the Ralph family was originally very rich, but suddenly became poor, and life could not be adapted to all of a sudden, and two children died. Listening to him, the rest of the estimates can't go on.

"Don't do that, Raff, think again, life always has to go on!" Someone persuaded.

When Raff heard this, he smiled miserably and said: "Don't you know, you used to live a good life before, so you can still live like this life, working to the Spaniards all day long, and being beaten and scolded, not to mention, you can't even support a family, how can you live this life?" Now that I think about it, I really regret it! ”

"What do you regret?"

Raff said with a look of remorse: "Before, I promised my eldest son and eldest daughter that I would send them to Daming to study. However, the matter was delayed, and it ended up like this! ”

"Ah, as soon as you say I'm too!" When Luther Kiev heard this, he also regretted it: "I also want to send my eldest son to study in Daming, but I am worried about the language barrier, so I hesitate!" If it had been sent earlier, at least one son would not have to worry! ”

Not only him, but many people in this bar regretted it, for the same reason, worried about the language.

They were regretting it, when suddenly, a person suddenly said: "We are not as bold as Your Highness, we don't understand the same language, and we ended up marrying the princess." Look, finally alive! ”

Hearing this, Luther King's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "By the way, you say, Princess Catherine knows the situation in our Portugal, will she lead the Ming army to take revenge?" ”

Hearing this, almost everyone's eyes lit up, if Princess Catherine could bring the Ming army over, they would have hope!

"Impossible!" Raff listened, but shook his head categorically and said, "I know the most about Da Ming's situation. Let me tell you, the women over there in Daming have no status, so it doesn't matter if you say it. And ah, Her Royal Highness Catherine married the Prince of Daming as a concubine or not as a crown princess, I don't understand? Little wife, mistress, do you understand? ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed. It's impossible to do what Raff said!

"But...... But ......" Luther Gimf was unwilling, and wanted to refute Raf's words, but for a moment he couldn't think of any reason to refute it, and after a long while, his eyes lit up, and he immediately continued: "But aren't we Portugal allied with the Ming Dynasty, brotherly country!" Now that our Portugal has been destroyed, the Ming Emperor should always avenge us, right? ”

"You're thinking too much!" Raff sighed and said, "Between countries, there are only interests, understand?" If we haven't been wiped out yet, it's valuable, and if we stick to it, maybe the Ming Emperor will send reinforcements. But now that Portugal is gone, the Ming Emperor still sent a fart! ”

"That's right, our Portugal is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Ming Emperor to make a big deal for Portugal that no longer exists!" Others echoed the words.

Ludkinf was a little unwilling, and argued: "No, the Ming army has already reached the Ottomans." A few days ago, I heard the Spaniards say that the Ming army had also conquered Egypt! ”

Either way, if there is a glimmer of hope, then the possibility of him feeding his children increases. So, no matter what, no matter what the end may be, it's always good to have hope.

Raff listened, and continued to attack him: "Let's not say that the Ottoman side is still far away from our Portugal, even if it is not far, do you think that the Ming fleet can sail directly from the Ottoman to the Mediterranean?" It's not like it's going to take a detour to Africa and come back again, 108,000 miles away, how can you get here? ”

When Luther Kimf heard this, he said very unwillingly: "If only we could drive directly into the Mediterranean!" ”

"Just think about it, Daming and our Portugal are not real brothers, and it is impossible to overcome a lot of difficulties to help us!" Raff was obviously the most pessimistic, and when he finished speaking, he turned to the bartender and shouted, "Have another drink, maybe you won't see me again, can you do it for free?" ”

"Raff, don't do anything stupid!" Luther Kingff heard this, and hurriedly persuaded, "It's better to die than to live, maybe we can smuggle to Daming in the future!" ”

When Raff heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "Don't dream, don't talk about smuggling to Daming, even smuggling to South America is impossible!" I didn't see how well the Spaniards defended us, and now we can't even see a single boat in the port, and they won't let us fish. You see, he, him, and them, didn't all have ships before! ”

As he spoke, the bartender brought him a glass of wine, put it on the table with a "bang", splashed a lot of wine on the table, looked at Raff and said, "This cup is free, I salute you as a man, you have to make a noise for them to see." ”

He didn't say it explicitly, but everyone who could contact the content of what he said before and after knew that what he meant was that if Raff wanted to die, he would go to the Spaniards to back his back, so that those Spaniards would know that the Portuguese were not so easy to oppress!

"If I don't survive in a few days, Raff, I'll go to you, and see which of us is better!" Others also patted the table and said.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the bar suddenly changed from a little sad to sad and angry.

Obviously, many people can't live such a day and don't want to live. Of course, it's possible that you've drunk too much, but in short, it's a bit of a crowd.

At this moment, suddenly there was movement outside, I hadn't heard it for a long time, and it was very familiar.

"Listen, it's like a siren! What else? Is it the sound of cannons? Luther Kimf's ears were the sharpest, and he said suddenly.

Raff listened to this, sneered and said: "Where is the sound of cannons, now Lisbon is under the jurisdiction of Spain, and the whole of Europe is discussing the matter of unity, where is the enemy?" Now the enemy of Spain is only the Ming army. You probably drank too much and hallucinated, thinking it was the Ming army calling, right? ”

The others listened, and some laughed, with regret.

But some people suddenly exclaimed: "I heard it too, it seems that there is a cannon!" ”

Hearing this, the bar fell silent, and everyone listened with their ears pricked up.

"Boom, boom, boom......"
