Wang Quan was not urging Spanish merchant ships to leave Ireland as soon as possible. Although his words easily reminded people of the Ming samurai who were showing off their power in Daxi Port, the lack of arms and dozens of farmers who crossed the sea could not have any shock to the Spanish fighting against the sea.

What really made the Spaniards leave this land was the faded sun and moon flag on the mast of the stranded blessed ship on the shore.

News of the Ming Dynasty occupying Ireland soon came back to the ears of Philip II of Lisbon.

His Highness Philip's background slowly darkened after hearing the news. The Portuguese crown wearing a gold-inlaid gem-inlaid on the head of a black satin scarf, suddenly it was not good-looking.

"Why can't they stay in the New World? I know that the royal merchants just said that the Ming people appeared in the estuary of the northeast of Ireland, but is this different from the Ming Dynasty's occupation of Ireland?"

Fei Lao Er opened his hands and waved hard: "They will suddenly create tens of thousands of people, just like in the New World, and then replace the faded sun and moon flag with the brilliant dragon flag and the imperial flag... What is the name of the jazz who wants to replace the disappearing count? Ya, thank you for your reminder, Arthur, where is he, is he still alive?"

The person who was with the king was monk Acosta. As a few Spanish people who knew enough about the Ming Dynasty, this monk who was sent to the New World to preach quickly joined the palace after returning to his country and became a senior aide highly valued by the king.

In order to repay this experience, Acosta several times asked the king to send him to the Indian Affairs Commission to revive Spain's authority in the New World.

Of course, it is without conflict with the Ming Dynasty.

This is not only because of his loyalty to the king, but also because of his fear of the king. His Highness Philip has never been known for his kindness and kindness in the court and the people. However, after the military competition between Spain and the Ming Dynasty in the New World and the economic disputes were defeated, the king, who was suffering from hair loss, seemed to become increasingly suspicious and moody.

For example, now, the news that the merchants had just discovered that the Ming Dynasty appeared on the coast of Ireland was implicated. His Highness, after the Ming Dynasty had completely occupied Ireland, had an unreasonable temper and fury in the rare secluded place of the palace: "Ah, what am I talking about? Why did I say instead... monk, please don't tell me idioms again in the future!"

Immediately afterwards, the king changed his face, his eyes full of fatigue in his dark circles showed infinite sadness and grief, his voice weak and his tone was light: "I have also been influenced by them, and everyone has been affected, which makes me extremely desperate."

Acosta was helpless with the king's emotions and could only agree like a vocal bug, just as he could not refuse the king's intention to keep him in the court rather than the Indian Affairs Commission in Havana.

Everyone knows that the committee sent by the king has done its work badly there, but no one can change this situation. Spain's strength is based on the invincible military capabilities, and it gains economic advantages through plundering means and thus develops a stronger military force.

But when the Spanish formation across Europe failed to attack Changsheng Gorge, the economic bubble that was covered with gold and silver mountains but produced nowhere was broken by various Ming Dynasty goods?

Except for the only pride that the feudal empire can do, all memories of greatness and glory are as meaningless as the yellow flowers of tomorrow.

Philip was trying his best to turn this around. He had to face the fact that the New World, which was regarded as the thing in his pocket, was captured by the Ming army, and also shoulder the responsibility to maintain the Netherlands, balance France, and resist England. Reality and responsibility intersected, and eventually became an unbreakable death.

To maintain the military advantage over the Netherlands rebellion, to balance the Protestant rebellion in France, to resist the endless harassment and attacks of English pirates, Spain has never lacked excellent and huge warships and trained experienced warriors, but this all requires money. However, the soaring prices in Spain are the royal family unable to reverse, and they can only continue to drink poison to quench their thirst.

To obtain these gold and silver, we must cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. We must watch the Ming Dynasty’s Eastern Military Mansion in the New World like an angry young wife.

Whenever he thought of this, Philip felt that his hair under the crown wanted to run away from home and never return.

"The merchant didn't see him. Your Highness, I'm afraid Sir Arthur is gone. I should have discovered it earlier, King Alan."

When everything was connected together, Acosta suddenly remembered that at the Changsheng banquet he had seen the King Alan with red hair and red robe: "I thought the Ming Dynasty, as a huge empire, was like Europe, had people with all kinds of skin and hair. I thought he was the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty in the Philippines or somewhere, but I didn't expect that he was the king of Ireland that the emperor had conferred."

"His name is Zhu Xiaoen, and the Count whom Sir Arthur serves is Sean O'Neal." Acosta nodded slowly, his face extremely ugly: "They are the same person."

The king looked at the dull complexion of his face in the mirror, turned his head to look at the little dwarf who was poking his head out of the bedroom door, scolding them to leave, then looked up at the high monastery, painted with religious style ceiling, and exhaled a long breath, murmured: "It would be great if I had not signed a treaty with the Ming Dynasty... Maybe Elizabeth and Catherine both lost their hair for the Ming Dynasty at this time."

What Philip is talking about is a beautiful imagination that can only be kept in his mind. He raised his hand to stop Acosta who wanted to speak and said, "Don't remind me, I just think about it. Four million and a half taels of money are in Chen Mu's hands every year, so I can only think about it."

Hearing this, Acosta felt a little relieved. It seemed that His Highness the King had returned to normal at this time. He sat at the desk and started to open the letter to handle government affairs. Sure enough, it would be much more normal as long as he left the mirror and didn't look at his bald head.

I don’t know if it is useful to write a letter to Zou Yuanbiao, a county magistrate who has this disease. Acosta felt that the people of the Ming Dynasty were all magical. Maybe they could cure the king’s bald head... But at the same time, the monks also suspected in their hearts that Zou County seemed to be more bald than the king. Is this thing really impossible to cure?

There is a saying that you are afraid of what you come from.

Philip had just opened the first letter, which was sent by the Governor of Peru. The letter said that a ghost who claimed to be Lautaro appeared in Colombia and incited the local Indian rebellion for more than a year, and submitted casualties and losses caused by Lautaro's rebellion, and asked the king to dispatch the legions left in Havana to suppress the rebellion.

Philip squinted his eyes and pretended not to see it. He carefully placed the letter on the corner of the table. He decided to look at something happy first and finally deal with this letter that made his hair look like running away from home.

Then he opened the second letter with joy, and said while unpacking it: "This letter was sent by the Marquis of Santa Cruz, the commander of Lisbon Admiral Santa Cruz, so it's easy to put it... and put it aside."

Antonio, who was favored by the people as the king of Portugal, contacted people from England in France and planned to mobilize a fleet to intercept silver ships from the New World to the Port of Daming in the Azores overseas.

The last letter came from Brazil, and was sent by the Governor General of Brazil in Portugal. Philip thought to himself, this should be good news, right?
