129 as a result of the fall of the capital
Why didn't the Portuguese army defending Cascais retreat? It's not that they are brave and not afraid of death, but because in front of the enemy, how can these Portuguese people board the ship and retreat so easily, not to mention that there is no port, if they turn in front of the coercive army, according to their current combat effectiveness in the boarding process, what awaits them is the fate of total annihilation! And even if they could board the ship, where would there be Portuguese warships in front of the invincible Chinese Imperial Navy fleet? Even if there were, they were afraid of being sunk, and they were stuck to the safe point in Cascaisz. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now is the time to start negotiations, but it must not be the Chinese Empire that proposes it first, and the place of future confrontation will not be on the battlefield, but these words are not easy to say directly to the officers and soldiers of the troops with high morale now, and only Li Dingguo can keenly know these things, as for Xigong Shenyi, it is okay to fight, but these aspects cannot be considered at all. But for the order of his superiors, Nishinomiya Shenyi still resolutely obeyed, he nodded and said, "Then we can't fight anymore for the time being!" The main force was withdrawn for repair first, and also served as a reserve for the entire battlefield. If you want to land and expand the war again, are you afraid that there will be no war, and we soldiers just have to obey orders! When he said these words, he actually said them to the division commanders below and the various staff officers, as well as to the commanders in front of him. At this moment, I don't know why, Nishinomiya Shenyi suddenly remembered that the nine wives and five children who had migrated to the Moroccan Province of the Chinese Empire in Africa had come, and they had devoted themselves to the war these days, and they didn't know how well they lived in the villa they bought there? If this battle is over, maybe it's time to go see them, and I'm really not an incompetent husband and father. The tenderness and sweetness in Nishinomiya Shinichi's heart only flashed, and the continuous wars of this era did not leave him much room for personal feelings, but gave him a high status and a lot of money and nine beautiful wives. The smell of gunsmoke on the battlefield was still so strong, and he looked around blankly at the tragic battlefield scene. Either way, we won this battle! The soldiers have done their part, and now it's up to the top!
In New Shanghai, North America, Li Long wondered what would happen to the Portuguese. And what role will Spain, France, England, the Netherlands, and the Holy Roman Empire play? In the aftermath of the war, should we take the initiative or use static braking? At this moment, his thoughts were flooding and it was difficult to stop.
At this time, the whole country in Portugal seemed to be suffering from a major earthquake because of the fighting on the front line. Since the fifteenth century, has not the whole world been the result of the Portuguese cavalry repeatedly defeating the natives of various places, and the Portuguese have established colonies all over the world, and these colonies have been used to the detriment of their rights and interests as much as possible. The Portuguese found the self-confidence of a great power in the colonies and began to rise, and the wealth of the various colonies supported the construction of the Portuguese Empire. However, the army of the Chinese Empire suddenly became stronger, stronger than in any previous era, and the former Genghis Khan was far behind, and it was no longer an army that would flee with just one move.
As for the local war in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, the Portuguese people are convinced that the war will be won. But the Portuguese troops guarding the capital were almost wiped out, and the other troops were struggling to support themselves on the northern front and in Cascais, and as soon as the news came out, the whole of Portugal was in an uproar, and although the newspapers that reported the news of the Portuguese army's defeat could not be seen by the civilians, the nobles could see it, they could see it, and their servants, butlers, attendants, etc. knew about it, and then it was spread to the whole Portuguese public, and the Portuguese used to cheer at the Portuguese soldiers on the streets, In their hearts, all this is supported by the Portuguese dream of becoming strong and dominating the world.
But with the colonies lost one by one, the current Chinese Empire also defeated their proud army on its own soil! Now even a civilian in Portugal knows that the Kingdom of Portugal has fallen into a crisis, and after the economic blockade of the Chinese Empire, the current Portuguese State is already very difficult, and how can it be supported by mobilizing the army?
The people are restless, and in the decision-making level of Portugal, this fiasco has made them feel that they have been poured cold water on their heads. King Alfonso VI, who was hiding in Santarém, urgently summoned his ministers and convened an emergency meeting, and before the meeting, everyone also closely discussed the beginning and end of the war with the real power factions, especially the Count Louis, who held the real power, had frequent contact with various magnates, and the Portuguese army was unfavorable at the beginning! And then even the local capital was lost, and now the choice is very realistic in front of these Portuguese high-level people, is to continue to expand the war and fight resolutely? Or do you start negotiations and choose to retreat? Every choice is so difficult, the country has no money now, and there is not much ammunition reserves. Further expansion of the war will not only result in the loss of the city and land, but also the bankruptcy of the kingdom's finances! And Portugal has now completely thrown its troops into the quagmire-like war, a large number of soldiers have died or been captured, there are not many troops in the country, not to mention the strong military power of the Chinese Empire also makes them afraid, how far will such a powerful enemy expand the war? I don't know if I can come back if the capital is occupied, and if I don't fight, how can I explain it to the people in the country? How could they watch the Chinese Empire occupy their territory and establish concessions? To negotiate now is almost to declare the end of one's own political life! Not to mention the Portuguese Army soldiers who are shouting for revenge!
The situation between China and Portugal was at a stalemate after the Chinese Empire sent a large army into Portugal and captured the Portuguese capital Lisbon, and the future seemed uncertain for both sides at this moment.
Count Louis's western-style villa is the quietest place in the city of Santarém, and Count Louis himself left his official residence before the meeting convened by the king, and in his private house, even if he was full of desire to avoid people at this time, there were still people who came to him, and they came in batches.
The first to visit him were the army commanders, many of whom were noble-born and influential in the political circles, and the Portuguese officers who were born into the nobility of the military department finally saw this man who held the real power of the kingdom in the private residence of the Count of Louis.
An officer with the title of viscount said, "I heard that the Earl is going to propose a plan to negotiate with the Chinese Empire in the upcoming Council of the Kings? In order to obtain Lisbon in exchange for the concessions of the four cities of Lisbon, Viana do Castelo, Porto, and Faro, and to lease our four important ports, please consider it a lot! The Army is raising 10 new regiments to form reinforcements in the country, and more than 20,000 troops are fighting hard against the Chinese Empire on the northern front of Lisbon and in Cascais! The war is not irreparable, if we really decide to negotiate, then it will be difficult for our Portuguese warriors who have sacrificed in the past month to look at it, and the status of the Kingdom of Portugal will be completely ruined! You know, we're a world power! Our colonies have spread all over the world, so this time no matter what, please ask the Count to insist on fighting in Lisbon, the army will work hard to wash away the shame they have suffered in exchange for the revival of the kingdom, once the battle is deadlocked, the French and Spanish will also send troops to help secretly, we have the strength to retake Lisbon! ”
Watching several Portuguese generals bow their heads to themselves together, this hero who once pulled the queen mother off the horse and let the king pro-government has a very deep estrangement from the generals of the Portuguese army, after all, these generals have wavered and did not resolutely support the king's pro-government, if it were not for a force in his own hands, I am afraid that the king would not only not be able to govern pro-government, but he would also be killed by the queen mother.
