The Ming army took Lisbon and did not stop in Lisbon at all, Zhao Xin took a few thousand men to sit in Lisbon, and the rest of the army followed the main fleet to continue north.

Xu Yifan knew very well in his heart that he must not give the Western countries time to jointly send troops, if the five Western countries joined forces to send troops again, in the Western Ocean, he would definitely not be able to take advantage, after all, he was too unfamiliar with this sea area, and it was too dangerous to rely on a group of Western troops to be a guide. What's more, although the fleets of the Western countries have suffered heavy losses, but together, they can still make up four or five hundred warships, and the strength should not be underestimated.

The fleet did not stop in Lisbon, and went straight north, directly to Porto, which was the station of the Portuguese fleet and the largest military port in Portugal in the seventeenth century.

Today's Portuguese fleet does not have the slightest defense, after all, from the land, where there is a fast speed at sea, in less than a day, the Ming fleet came to Porto outside the harbor, came to Porto, naturally could not hide the eyes of the Portuguese fleet, and was soon discovered by the Portuguese fleet.

When Joshua, the commander of the Portuguese fleet, found the Ming army, he was directly stunned, two or three hundred warships, such a powerful strength, more than several times stronger than the Portuguese fleet, the entire Portuguese fleet only has less than forty main warships, the five countries expedition, Portugal also mobilized more than twenty main warships, Porto and small warships are only a few dozen, in the face of such a powerful enemy, it is simply vulnerable, even with the help of Porto's batteries, it is difficult to win, let alone win, It's up to God to keep this fleet alive......

"General Joshua, General Joshua, His Majesty Alfonso VI has sent a decree asking the Portuguese fleet to surrender to the Ming fleet, to surrender to the Ming fleet......"

Just as Joshua was anxious, several horses galloped all the way to the port docks of Porto, screaming loudly.

"What? Your Majesty asked me to surrender? Why! ”

Joshua's face changed and he shouted urgently.

The envoy said astringently: "General Joshua, the Ming fleet raided Lisbon last night, we were caught off guard, Lisbon has fallen, His Majesty Alfonso VI has no choice but to go out of the city and surrender, the Ming army is strong, it is definitely not something that the kingdom can match, we can only surrender and preserve our strength......"

Alfonso VI is very smart, and now that the Ming army has sent such a huge fleet in one go, it can be said that all the countries in the Western Ocean do not have enough strength to compete with the fleet of the Ming Empire and start a war? That's self-defeating, all the belongings have to be lost, it's better to surrender directly, at least the elite of the navy and the army, can still be saved, go to war, then Portugal is really going to die, the hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss, to fight, let the English fight with the Dutch, anyway, Portugal is definitely not an opponent, Portugal did not go against the Ming Empire, they were all instigated by these people, fight, you fight to the death, I will pick up some cheap in the back!

Joshua couldn't cry or laugh, and His Majesty did such a thing, defeated and surrendered, this hasn't been fought yet, even if Lisbon is lost, Portugal at least has a navy, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 land forces, so that there will be no power to fight back, this is good, surrender directly, just the real reparation, how much money do you have to pay......

However, now the situation is stronger than people, the Ming fleet is too large, not to mention the Portuguese fleet, even the Dutch fleet and the English fleet are definitely not opponents of others, Your Majesty is right, if you can save a little strength, you can save a little strength, and now the jade and stone fighting with the Ming army are burned, and in the end they surrender, don't you still want compensation?

Joshua said abruptly: "Order, all warships hoist white flags and surrender......"

When Xu Yifan saw the white flags on the grape-eyed fleet and the fort rising, the corners of his mouth showed a smile, this Portuguese kingdom is really rudder, seeing that the momentum is not good, surrender directly, okay, since I surrendered, then I don't care about myself, leave you a way to live, as long as your Portuguese kingdom comes up with enough compensation, it's not impossible to let you go, it's just a small country, this time Lao Tzu has to deal with the four powerful countries of Britain, Netherlands, France and Spain, and now the Spanish fleet has been completely defeated by itself, It became a toothless tiger, and the rest were the Dutch, the English, and the French.

Xu Yifan accepted Joshua's surrender, directly requisitioned more than a dozen Portuguese main warships, replenished supplies, and continued to advance in the northeast direction, aiming directly at the military port of the Kingdom of France - Le Havre!

Le Havre is just over a thousand miles away from Porto and can be reached in just over two days.

However, it was not the French fleet that encountered the Ming Imperial fleet first, but the English fleet that got the news and went on the expedition.

Like the Kingdom of Spain, the English also got the news that North America was attacked by a large number of Ming troops, tens of thousands of elites, plus a huge fleet, although only the warships of this fleet are not too huge, but there are many of them, close to two hundred warships, which is almost the same as the native fleet of the English, plus tens of thousands of elites, such a force is enough to sweep the entire Americas, no country can support it, England has a vast colony in the Americas, and it is absolutely impossible to throw away the huge colonies, In any case, we have to protect it, to attack South America, we England can't control it, attack Canada, we England can't control it, but to attack the east coast of North America, that is absolutely intolerable to the British Empire, England has huge interests on the east coast, and provides tens of millions of taels of silver to the English Empire every year, and it must not be lost!

Cromwell directly mobilized the main fleet of England with more than 20,000 elites, preparing to go to the east coast of North America to protect his colonies, coupled with the strength of England in North America, even if he could not defeat the Ming army and protect the interests of the British, there was still no big problem.

As soon as the unfortunate English fleet left the English Channel, it encountered the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty from afar.
