292. Boiling city

The character of the Spaniards is typical of southern Europeans, they are enthusiastic, optimistic, unrestrained, and practical. It is very different from the British reserve, the Germans are old-fashioned, the Americans are casual, and the Japanese are more serious.

They believe that people should not be slaves to life, but should become masters of life, and they must be good at controlling life in order to have endless fun.

Anyone who has come into contact with the Spaniards will think that they are cheerful and open and easy to make friends. Even when you meet for the first time, he will talk to you like an old friend.

Spaniards are more independent, they always like to do everything by themselves, and even if they can't do it well, they are determined to try. But at the same time, it also shows that they are more rigid and self-serving, and sometimes they are arrogant and arrogant.

Another characteristic of this group is that they like to do things according to the rules. There are no rules, there is no circle, and their mantra is "do as you do". Think that the rules are set by everyone and cannot be broken, so don't use your brain if you have rules, okay?

Of course, the above personality traits are all shared by some people, and the common character trait of all Spaniards is actually one word - lazy ......

With such a character, it is easy to form a grand event when encountering such a festival. Especially when the supreme ruler of a country comes to the local area, it is easy to bring about revelry.

When Philip II's ship arrived in the port of Seville, the whole port of Seville became a sea of joy! People threw hats and flowers into the air, cheering for Philip II's title, ignoring the guards watching them as if they were facing a great enemy.

Philip II stepped down from the red carpet and proudly waved to the crowd of onlookers on the pier. As the king of the chosen country, he has the qualifications to be proud and also has the capital to be arrogant.

Halfway through, Philip II was suddenly in a state of interest and wanted to say a few words to the crowd. He threw his right hand at his waist and raised the gem-encrusted gold saber in his left hand to signal that he had something to say.

The crowd cheered again, and then gradually quieted down, staring fixedly at Philip II in the middle of the board, waiting for him to make an important speech.

When the crowd had all quieted down, Philip II cleared his throat and said in his characteristic high-pitched voice: "Citizens!"

The wharf erupted in a tsunami-like cheer again, and the rain of flowers fell again!

Philip II raised his left hand, and the crowd below slowly fell silent, and he looked around with great satisfaction, and continued to sing: "Yesterday, the proud Spaniards set out from here and defeated the French!" Defeated the Ottomans! Conquered the Portuguese! We are the chosen nation! We are the strongest Spain! ”

The crowd cheered again! Although there are many promoters to help, the vast majority of Spaniards do have a sense of superiority in their hearts that they are the chosen country.

"And today, we're going to start from here to defeat the Protestants who don't know what the sky is! Whether it is Spain, but also the Netherlands, Sicily, Naples, Franche-Comté, Milan, and the colonies of the Americas and Africa, we must honor the tradition and preserve the glory of the Holy Roman Empire! Protestants will perish! The English and Dutch who blessed the Protestants will also perish! Rejoice! God's people! ”

The docks erupted in the warmest cheers in a long time! The Protestants who came to the meeting were certainly not dissatisfied with the patriarchal policies of Philip II, but were stubborn, even radical Catholics, who were very eager and eagerly awaited the oath of Philip II.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the people, Philip II beckoned, slowly stepped off the pedals, and sat close to the carriage with the embroidered flags of Spain and the family coat of arms, and four handsome white horses, under the full protection of the guards, passed through the eager crowd and drove all the way to the royal knight's bullring.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the royal carriage arrived in front of the VIP door of the Royal Knight's Bullring, and Philip II, with the help of the attendants, slowly got out of the carriage, and together with his second daughter Catalina Michaela, proudly entered the VIP passage, and after several rotations, came to the southernmost and highest-ranking honor stand of the stands.

Hurray, hurray! Philip II liked it, he liked the feeling of dominating the world, he had his own grand strategy, and he needed these crowds of people waving their arms and opening their mouths to do it!

Seeing Philip II sit down, the welcoming symphony slowly fell, and the rousing bullfighting song began to play! The enthusiasm of the people has been mobilized again! Bullfighting has been deeply integrated into the blood of the Spaniards, and they love this business!

It is said that a compassionate woman once prayed to her husband to stop watching bullfights, but her husband flatly refused! Then she threatened: You can choose between me and the bullfight! As a result, her husband did not hesitate to take off her wedding ring and went to the bullring to make a bet......

Therefore, when the bullfighting song sounded, the bull in the bullpen had not yet begun to boil, and the crowd in the stands was already boiling! The most exciting part of this is the citizens of Seville who have given all their money to people, or cattle, or to people and cattle in a certain percentage. For them, whether they will stay in a high-end hotel or sleep on the road tonight is all up to the people and cattle in the field below.

Of course, there are some people who gamble for pleasure, or do not participate in gambling at all, these people simply like this sport and like this feeling of blood rush!

According to the rules – this is the tradition of the Spaniards – the two forerunners rode to the rostrum on black horses and dressed in red and yellow costumes, and arrived at the bottom of the stage. By this time the music had stopped, and the two men saluted Philip II on the rostrum in silence and asked for the keys to the bullpen. Philip II muttered a little, took a golden object from his bosom, and threw it down.

An older leader immediately dismounted, picked up the "key" from the ground, turned over on his horse, and after saluting, the two turned around and ran towards the bullpen! The deafening cheers resounded in the arena again, which represented the official start of the bullfight!

The debut is about to take place! On the stage was Juan Jesus, the chief matador of the Royal Knights' Bullring - it stands to reason that the first to take the stage should be three matadors, who will fight six bulls. But Juan Jesus' fame is so great that the audience can accept the fact that he made his debut.

Juan Jesus is Chinese New Year's Eve a year old today, which is the golden age of matadors! He was dressed in a golden tight-fitting bullfighting suit, holding a sword in his left hand, holding a red flag that stirred everyone's heartstrings, and a yellow flag hidden on his back, riding on a horse, and his right hand touching his chest, giving a deep salute to the audience!

The audience cheered again. Juan will be playing alone to take on the toughest bulls in the region, which is why the crowd will be able to accept his one-man debut. Often, bullfighters need multiple people to work together to do the job, which greatly reduces the risk factor. On the other hand, like Juan, it is much more dangerous, but it is also more exciting, and at the same time, the multiplier is much higher......

As a result, the bullring today is much more crowded than ever, and even the aisles are packed, which shows how much people are looking forward to the upcoming blood splatter!

The bullpen is open! The older leader who had just picked up the "key" smiled and dodged the bull rushing out of the pen, hid to the side, and quietly touched his trouser pocket - how could the great and proud Philip II carry such a filthy thing as the bullpen key with him? What he threw down was a gold bar! And the key is hidden in his sleeve early in the morning!

No one cared about that, all eyes were on the galloping bull! This bull is much larger than its counterpart, weighing more than 550 kilograms! Between the ages of four-and-a-half and five-year-olds, he is a pure-blooded, violent North African bull! The muscles on the top and bottom of the body are bulging, the hair is black and shiny, the eyes are red, and the nostrils are spewing hot air! This guy is angry at this time after the previous stimulation, thinking about finding the guy who can move in front of him, running over and tearing him to pieces!

It stands to reason that the whole bullfighting process should include four parts: teasing, spear piercing, dart and formal fighting. It was done by three matadors and their own team of assistants, including three dart players and two spearmen on horseback, for a total of about twenty people.

But since Juan Jesus is going to challenge a one-man bullfight, it means that he will do it alone! This will be an extreme challenge for human physical, intellectual, and perseverance! Because he not only has to fight and kill the bull, but also fight beautifully and please the audience, which undoubtedly further increases the difficulty on the original basis!

People looked at the wild bull, and then at Juan Jesus, who was also quite strong but much thinner, and those who bet on Juan's victory couldn't help but worry a little about their purse! But this has come to this, the betting is over, so I can only pray that the Lord of Heaven can bless Juan Jesus to be possessed by the gods at this moment!

The opening gong scene of the bullfight - the teasing begins! Despite being a one-man bullfight, assistants are allowed to participate in these foreplays. The three assistants lure the bloody and angry bull to gallop all over the field, so as to drain the bull's physical strength.

One of the assistants seemed to have not slept well last night, and he limped so fast that the bull almost caught up with him several times, causing some of the timid women in the audience to scream and cover their eyes! It has just begun, and it is already high * tide, and there is jubilation in the bullring! Even Philip II, who had been smiling indifferently, clenched his fists and looked down with wide eyes.

Fortunately, the tragedy did not happen, and while people were slowly relieved, the spear piercing link arrived. From this point on, it was done by Juan Jesus alone! He rode a blindfolded, armored horse, with an iron spear in his hand, and ran in a circle toward the bull who was standing panting.

The bull's nostrils were hot, a little annoyed, but also a little powerless to look at Juan, just when it was stunned, Juan's right hand holding the iron spear swung forward violently under the strength of the waist and abdomen, and the iron spear slashed through the sky, just impartially pierced the bull's back and neck! Bloody! The bull was furious, but its physical strength was slowly fading as the blood splattered out!

When the dart session arrived, Juan Jesus still adopted the one-person simple mode! He took a few wooden poles from his horse, a dart decorated with fancy feathers and a metal hook at the tip, patted the horse's rump, and waited for the bull with all his attention as the horse neighed and ran away!

He took small steps to the left and right, attracting the attention of the bull who was not very intellectual. At the moment when the bull staggered, he twisted slightly, just avoiding the bull's shining horns! And the dart in his hand was pierced again and again around the wound of the bull that had just been pierced by the spear!

Perfect! The audience cheered! The spectators who bought Juan Win began to shout with red eyes! At this point, for a mature and experienced good matador, it is actually more than half of the success!

The final climax - the assassination phase has arrived! Juan unsheathed his sword from his belt and tossed aside the yellow flag that was said to calm the bull – though there was no basis for it – and only held the red flag and defied the bull! This is undoubtedly a move to increase the difficulty and increase the highlights, and the effect can be imagined!

In the crowd's crazy cheers, Juan used all his skills, chest dodging, spinning and teasing and other skills in turn, and finally showed off the legendary "Beronica"! I saw that he followed the bull's coming, put the red flag on the bull's face at once, and then dodged the bull's last crazy attack!

At this moment, Juan is like a small boat in a strong wind, as if he is about to be killed by the horn of the angry bull, but every time he can avoid it, the cheers and exclamations in the audience are naturally higher and higher!

And at this moment, Juan suddenly showed his saber, and at the moment when the bull's center of gravity sank and was ready to rise, the saber went down along Fang Cai's wound*! The sword pierced through the wound and directly pierced the left ventricle of the bull, and the behemoth also screamed, splashing hot blood and falling to the ground with a bang!

The cheers of the bullring reached the peak for a while! Juan began to circle the arena and receive applause. The gamblers who bought him to win were so happy that they couldn't wait to run naked, even the guys who bought the cow and won couldn't say anything, this is so exciting! Can't spray!

"Binaural plus oxtail! Binaural plus oxtail! Binaural plus oxtail! The crowd began to cheer loudly - this is the highest level of reward given to the matador, and it is an extremely demanding award, usually no more than ten times a year, which is definitely a special honor.

Philip II slowly stood up, looked at Juan Jesus, who was kneeling on one knee below, waiting with his head in wait, raised his right hand and made a gesture of commendation!

Just as I was about to speak, a sudden change occurred! I only heard the bullring suddenly sound like a "boom" like the sky and the earth cracking, the bullpen didn't know what was blown up, and in the dust, the bulls rushed out of the barn! And the VIP seat where Philip II was was also suddenly collapsed with a loud noise!

Philip II only felt that his feet were suddenly empty, and the whole person fell down with the collapsed ground, and fell heavily on the boiling dust on the ground!

The onlookers blew up, and everyone was dumbfounded! However, before they could react, on the sea not far away, the sound of dense naval artillery fire suddenly sounded! Just listen to the intensity of firepower, it is definitely a fleet of medium and above! And at this moment, they are actually shooting indiscriminately at the city of Seville!

The king is here, suddenly changed, these people outside, they ...... What exactly do they want to do?

Bullets rain down, chaos suddenly arises! At this time, Seville suddenly changed from a festival to an end of the world!
