A peace talk broke up so unhappily, and the representatives of the anti-Habsburg powers were angry and walked away, but Zheng Zhilong, as the party concerned, did not react at all, just watched them walk out of the conference room quietly, and even had a sneer on his face.

He believes that these people will come back, and the conditions will be even harsher when the time comes!

This time, he came with not only the treasure ship and ten super battleships parked in the port of Lisbon, but also hundreds of armed fortune ships.

It's just that the hundreds of armed ships did not follow him to Lisbon, but went to the Ming army base at the mouth of the Guadiana River.

The ship is nothing else, it is the latest high-explosive artillery shells developed by the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, as well as tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen from Dongda Construction Shipyard.

At this time, they are stepping up the transformation of the naval guns of the 100 ironclad battleships, as long as the naval guns are renovated, the 100 ironclad battleships can fire high-explosive shells, and when the time comes, no matter what fortress batteries he has, all of them will be blasted into slag!

Unaware of the fact that the Ming Empire had created new weapons, the anti-Habsburg powers gathered in the French port city of Calais to discuss their next countermeasures.

This negotiation really made Li Se angry, he originally wanted to swallow his anger and fool the Ming Empire to withdraw first, but now it seems that it is impossible at all.

The conditions put forward by the Ming Empire are simply outrageous, what to open treaty ports, what to reduce the army and navy, if you really do what they say, then there is no chance to turn over.

If the soft ones don't work, then the only ones are hard.

No matter how powerful the ironclad battleships of the Ming army were, there was still no way to face the forts and forts, and for the sake of today, they had to desperately build forts and forts in various important ports.

To this end, they even brought back all the troops that had invaded Spain and Portugal to strengthen the defenses of the important ports.

This is a bit troublesome, but it can withstand the attack of the Ming Empire.

I believe that the Ming Empire will not be able to fight indefinitely, at most one year, if they can't fight, they will definitely withdraw their troops, after all, whether it is grain, grass, baggage, weapons and ammunition, to be transported from the Far East, the cost is quite amazing.

Their thoughts seem to be very normal, if nothing happens, they may indeed be able to withstand the attack of the Ming Dynasty, but the problem, His Majesty Zhu Cijiong, the emperor of the Ming Empire, is an accident himself, how can Zhu Cijiong who came through the time not be able to do anything about them!

The methods have been thought out, and the things have been done, and at this time, Zheng Chenggong is testing the attack power of high-explosive artillery shells at the Ming army base at the mouth of the Guadiana River.

Good fellow, if that cannon goes down, a big crater can be blasted out on the concrete city wall, and what a terrifying lethality it will be to hit the middle of the crowd!

Zheng Chenggong thought differently from what Zhu Cijiong thought, Zhu Cijiong believed that the city walls of other people must be blown down in order to capture the fortress or fort, but Zheng Chenggong knew that there was no need to collapse the city wall at all, and all the people inside could be killed or run away, and the fort and the fort could still be captured.

With such a sharp weapon, tactics and anything were no longer important, and three days later, as soon as the transformation of a hundred ironclad battleships was completed, Zheng Chenggong set off with the combined fleet.

This time, he didn't bring any ironclad chariots, with high-explosive shells, what ironclad chariots he wanted, he just brought 40,000 Tianxiong elite troops, ready to take over the defense of Calais and Dover ports.

After three days at full speed, the combined fleet of the Daming Habsburg Union again came outside the port of Calais.

At this time, the port of Calais was strengthening its defenses, building new forts and forts, and the anti-Habsburg coalition had not yet developed cement, and the speed of building forts and forts naturally could not be compared with the Ming army.

Zheng Chenggong didn't care what they were doing, and directly ordered a hundred ironclad battleships to line up in a column, approaching the forts and fortresses in the port in turn, ready to take turns to run and bomb.

When the French garrison saw that the enemy was still the same old routine, he couldn't help crying and laughing, didn't he try it all last time, why did he come back?

He couldn't figure out what the combined fleet of the Daming Habsburg Alliance wanted to do, obviously it was useless last time, can it be different if he comes this time?

If it's different, it's different on my side.

Now, although the new fort and fort have not yet been completed, the defenders of the port have more than doubled, and the defense is definitely much stronger than the last time, so he didn't take the more than 100 ironclad battleships that were slowly approaching seriously, but just ordered his subordinates to load their shells and prepare for bombardment.

Soon, the first ironclad battleship at the head entered the range of artillery bombardment, "boom boom", and both sides opened fire at the same time.

The shells flying out of the fort and turrets were still the same as last time, and at most they could smash the surface of the deck of the ironclad battleship into potholes, but in fact they had no destructive power at all.

The cannonballs fired by the ironclad battleship are different, the power is simply terrifying, it's better to smash the city wall, it's just a big hole, the cannonballs in the Luoleng fortress and on the fort are terrible, within a radius of more than ten meters, as long as there are people, all flesh and blood are flying!

The first round of fifty shells fell, and the defenders of the fortress were stupefied by the sight before them.

Whether this is a cannonball or a giant powder keg, even if you throw a powder keg the size of a beer keg, it can't do so much damage.

He was stunned for a moment, the ironclad battleships of the Ming army were already lined up in a long line on the sea outside the port, and the terrifying cannonballs rained over, and there were rubble flying everywhere, flesh and blood were flying, and the whole world seemed to be covered with a layer of blood mist!

It's miserable, it's just too miserable, there are no pillboxes at this time, the people on the forts and batteries are equivalent to standing there and being shelled, the lethality is only huge, you can imagine.

Before all the 100 ironclad battleships passed the harbor forts and batteries, the French troops on the position were bombarded and collapsed, and they may have the courage to line up to shoot, but no one has the courage to line up for shells, and they are shells with such terrifying lethality.

Just kidding, line up to shoot, you may not die after a few shots, this shelling will directly fall apart, who would dare to stand there stupidly and receive shells!

In less than half an hour, everything that could run on the forts and batteries of the entire port of Calais had run away, leaving only fragments and artillery that had not had time to be moved.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Chenggong immediately ordered the ironclad battleship to stop running and bombing, and the ironclad cruiser loaded with the officers and men of the Tianxiong Army immediately docked.

Soon, 20,000 soldiers of the Ming army occupied all the forts and batteries in the harbor, and the French defenders disappeared!

As soon as the fort and the fort were taken down, Zheng Chenggong immediately ordered the ironclad cruisers to open the way in front, and the ironclad battleships followed closely and rushed directly into the harbor, while the other warships surrounded the entire port.

At this time, there were only more than 200 battleships left in the port of Calais, and in front of the powerful ironclad battleships, they had no room for resistance at all.

In less than an hour, the combined Habsburg fleet of Daming occupied the entire port of Calais, and all the French troops in it who did not have time to escape, whether it was the army or the navy, surrendered!

After capturing the port of Calais, Zheng Chenggong did not stop to rest, but led the four major fleets of the Ming army to the opposite port of Dover, while the Spanish and Portuguese fleets were left behind by him to assist the officers and men of the Tianxiong Army in cleaning up the battlefield and defending the port.

Next, Zheng Chenggong took the port of Dover without suspense with the power of high-explosive shells, and all the British troops in the port who did not have time to escape were also captured.

Within a day, two well-defended ports were breached one after another, and the British and French high-level leaders who received the news were frightened and stupid, and after repeatedly determining the power of the high-explosive shells from the British and French troops who had fled, Britain and France invariably sent a request for peace to the head of the Daming Habsburg Union who occupied the port.

This battle is no longer fought, in the face of high-explosive shells, whether it is a fortress or a battery, it is meaningless, even if the battleship is covered with iron armor, it may not be able to stop it!

In the face of such a terrifying mass murder weapon, the only choice is to surrender.

Zheng Chenggong received the request for peace, and immediately gave a reply that he had already prepared: If you want peace talks, let's go together, call the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark, and save yourself from cleaning up one by one.

Britain and France naturally did not dare to have any objections to this, so a few days later, Richelieu, Bratford and others rushed to Lisbon again to reopen peace talks.

At the negotiation table, it was still the same eight people last time, but this time the atmosphere has completely changed.

Zheng Zhilong no longer played any negotiation tricks, and when everyone sat down, he asked happily with a victorious smile: "Your Excellency Duke, this time, we can have a good talk, right?" “

At this time, Richelieu had lost the arrogance of crisscrossing the continent, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, and he said dejectedly: "Your Royal Highness, please put forward your conditions, and we will discuss them carefully." “

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he took out a piece of letter paper from his arms with a smile again, opened it, and slowly read it in front of him: "

First, you must open all ports on the Atlantic, North Sea, and Baltic coasts, and allow the merchants of the Ming Empire and its allies to trade freely;

Second, you must compensate the Ming Habsburg League for the war losses totaling three billion taels of silver;

Thirdly, you must cede the port of Dover, the port of Calais, and the surrounding areas in perpetuity;

Fourth, you must reduce the army under the supervision of the Ming Empire, and the number of land forces in each country must not exceed 10,000;

Fifth, you must reduce your navy under the supervision of the Ming Empire, and the number of super battleships in each country must not exceed ten;

Sixth, you must provide a military base in your respective country for the Ming Empire's troops to station. “

At this time, the anti-Habsburg coalition had withdrawn its troops from Spain and Portugal, and the original first article could be canceled, but Zheng Zhilong proposed a more demanding one, that is, the Ming Empire should garrison troops in the countries of the great powers!

This is clearly to spy on them to prevent them from secretly developing military power, and as long as this article is accepted, the anti-Habsburg coalition powers really have no hope of turning the tables around.

However, can you not accept it?

If they dare not accept the terms of the peace talks, they will be greeted by a rain of high-explosive shells, and who will be able to stop them!

Finally, after several days of negotiations, the Daming Habsburg Union and the Anti-Habsburg Alliance finally signed the Lisbon Armistice, which is roughly as follows:

First, the anti-Habsburg countries are open to the Habsburg states, and all ports on the Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic coasts are allowed to trade freely.

Article 2: The countries of the Anti-Habsburg Union shall compensate the countries of the Habsburg Union of Daming with one billion taels of silver to compensate for the losses caused by the war, and the indemnity shall be paid in twenty years;

Thirdly, Britain ceded the port of Dover and the surrounding area of 100 miles to Portugal, and France ceded the port of Calais and the area between the port of Calais and the port of Dunkirk to Spain;

Fourth, the countries of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance agreed to reduce their land forces under the supervision of the Ming Empire, and to reduce all the land forces of each country to 20,000 within three months;

Fifth, the countries of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance agreed to reduce their navies under the supervision of the Ming Empire, and to reduce the number of super battleships of all navies to 20 within three months;

Sixth, each of the countries of the anti-Habsburg alliance will provide a military base with a scale of 100,000 men for the Ming Empire troops to be stationed.

With the signing of the peace treaty, the great war between the Daming Habsburg League and the anti-Habsburg alliance came to an end, and the Daming Habsburg Union won a complete victory, while the anti-Habsburg alliance powers completely lost the opportunity to dominate the world.
