The protagonist of the anti-Habsburg coalition has appeared, so is there a protagonist in the Habsburg dynasty who dares to stand up and play against it? The answer, of course, is yes, the protagonist is not the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II but Philip IV, King of Spain!

King Philip IV of Spain is not an ordinary bull fork, this can be seen from his title, do you know what his title is? It scares people to say it, his title is "King of the Earth"!

This is not a joke, his title in history is such a bull fork, such a bull fork A character naturally can't allow the enemy to be more bullish than him, so after Richelieu appeared on the scene, he immediately jumped out.

He is very disdainful of a little person like Richelieu, just like you, you still want to be the protagonist, didn't you declare war, Lao Tzu directly started a war with you!

So, he organized a coalition of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire to attack the French mainland, and the first decisive battle between the two alliances began.

At this time, Spain was not ordinarily strong, the army alone was no less than 300,000, and the reason why Philip IV never appeared was mainly because no one provoked him, and the anti-Habsburg coalition had been concentrating its forces to clean up the Holy Roman Empire.

Persimmon to check the soft pinch, everyone understands this truth, let the Holy Roman Empire on the verge of division not fight, run over to fight the Spanish Kingdom in its prime, that is sick, so Denmark and Sweden have been biting the Holy Roman Empire to fight, and did not send a single soldier to attack Spain proper, Philip IV can only provide support to the Holy Roman Empire, has never had the opportunity to do it himself.

Seeing that the neighboring France jumped out, he naturally pounced on it and went straight to work.

Of course, France is not weak, France is a traditional power, how can it be weak after being the hegemon of the European continent several times, and even in terms of land forces, France is slightly stronger than Spain.

Spain suddenly exerted force, and France was also a little caught off guard, so at the beginning, the French army was defeated and retreated, almost unable to break the army.

The allied forces of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire actually achieved a strategic advantage, and then received the weapon support of the Ming Dynasty, so they naturally pursued and fought fiercely, and they drove straight in, and they fought all the way to Paris!

At this time, the countries of the anti-Habsburg alliance could not sit still, and those who had money contributed money, and they made powerful contributions, desperately supporting France, and it is said that more than 100,000 troops were supported alone.

With so many countries attacking together, the Habsburgs naturally couldn't bear it, so the combined forces of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire were defeated.

This is the current situation in Europe, France, England, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Russia and almost all the princes of Germany are fighting against the Habsburgs, and they have basically beaten the door of Spain on land, and they also threatened that if you don't surrender, you won't be able to get out at sea!

With so many countries joining forces, even the Ming Dynasty can't bear it, it seems that the Habsburg Dynasty is in big trouble this time, so many powers are beating up, and they have to continue to fight with others, it's difficult!

With worry and anticipation, the fleet finally arrived in the waters near Spain, the Spanish king was very polite, and sent a fleet to wait on the sea, and the size of the fleet is not small, there are four or five hundred large and small warships, but there are less than a hundred super battleships, and there is no one such a large battleship as a treasure ship. “

Zhu Cijiong didn't expect him to have such a big grudge against Spain, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why do you say that?" “

Schvera said disdainfully: "I'm afraid this is all the warships they can assemble now, do they still think they are the overlord of the sea!" “

Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, yes, Spain has begun to decline, and the invincible fleet has shrunk like this, it's a pity.

Madrid, the capital of Spain, is not a port city, and to get there, you have to find a port to land in and then walk overland.

The closest port city to Madrid was Valencia, so the combined fleet of the Spanish Navy led the visiting warships of the Ming Empire into the Mediterranean, sailing for more than a day until the port of Valencia.

The port of Valencia is now full of colorful flags, and the King of Spain has arranged a huge welcoming procession, neatly arranged around the port, and the army alone is no less than 100,000, the scene is very spectacular.

Seeing this scene, Schvila marked the classic sentence again: "Hmph, slap a swollen face and become fat, I am afraid that they will have a total of more than 100,000 troops now!" “

Zhu Cijiong shook his head helplessly and said, "You, don't say a word, do you want to go to Madrid with me?" “

The king of Spain was not very friendly to the Portuguese nobles, and Svera was too lazy to eat this, so he borrowed a fortune ship with Zhu Cijiong and went back to Portugal directly, while Zhu Cijiong put on a full show, put 100,000 Praetorian Guards, 20,000 Jinyi guards, 2,000 eunuchs, and 2,000 palace maids all out and stood in rows, and then he took Qin Mingyue and Princess Anna off the boat.

Philip IV did not come to greet him personally, but only sent a respected old count as an envoy to greet him, this Zhu Cijiong can understand that there are six or seven hundred miles from Madrid to Valencia, and if he were replaced, he would not have traveled so far to meet the emperor of an allied country, and he would have lost his share!

There is no train in Spain now, so the huge team can only slowly walk towards Madrid, more than 200,000 people, as well as countless gifts and materials, the team is more than ten miles long, quite spectacular, but Zhu Cijiong doesn't have the heart to see these, he doesn't even have the heart to see the scenery along the way, he has been thinking about how to sabotage the peace talks, to let the Habsburg Dynasty and all the European powers continue to work, it is difficult!

There was nothing to say all the way, and the huge team walked for nearly ten days and finally arrived outside Madrid, Philip IV still did not come to greet him in person, but he sent the palace guards and ministers, and Zhu Cijiong's entourage was also politely requested to be stationed outside the city, the Spanish palace is not as big as the Ming palace, and it can only accommodate five hundred guests at most.

Zhu Cijiong didn't say anything, and directly selected a hundred masters of the brocade guards, a hundred masters of the East Factory, plus two hundred palace maids, and just took the entourage and entered the city of Madrid under the escort of the Spanish palace guards, and went straight to the palace.

To be honest, he was a little nervous right now, because he still hadn't figured out what Philip IV meant.

Along the way, Philip IV was full of scenes, and the etiquette was also very thoughtful, and he was completely greeted by the highest specifications, and there were so many warships and personnel used that he was even a little suspicious of being a fat man with a swollen face, but he himself refused to show up, didn't he welcome himself!
