The Most Powerful Man in the World

Even a fool can realize that the port may not be able to be defended. After all, the news of the loss of important places everywhere, as long as anyone who has a certain understanding of the formation of troops can see that the Spanish side is already declining. , I am tired.

Even if there are several other places where heavy troops are confronting Daming, it cannot change the outcome of the loss of the port.

"General Levi, what should we do?"

General Levi's eyes were red, and he said with a bit of grimness: "If you want to go to the military court, even if you run away, this General will never do anything even if he dies in the Strait of Gibraltar. A deserter."

After saying this, General Levi strode forward to the Spanish soldiers' position, leaving behind the generals who looked at him with complex expressions.

One of the generals looked at General Levi's righteous and awe-inspiring look and couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Mad, you want to die, don't drag everyone along!"

"Yeah, he wanted to court death himself, and he even wanted to drag us into the water!"

"Don't talk so much, let's run away while Mingren hasn't killed him yet."

"Even the Grand Duke himself escaped, why are we not allowed to escape? The Grand Duke can escape, and we can also escape."

In the blink of an eye, several generals turned their backs to General Levi, leaving only Stephen with a complicated expression.

As a veteran, Si Dewen can be said to have a very high prestige in the army. If General Levi is the representative of the young and strong in the Spanish army, then Si Dewen is the representative of those veterans.

Hearing a sigh, Si Dewen strode forward and even followed in the footsteps of General Levi. Obviously, Si Dewen made his own choice and did not desert like those generals.

When General Levi saw Stephen, he was slightly taken aback, with a look of surprise on his face.

In fact, General Levi knew in his heart that the possibility of those generals staying behind to die is almost slim. Even General Stevin, General Levi never thought that the other party could stay, so when he saw Stevin. , General Levi will have such a big reaction.

Noticing General Levi's expression, Stephen smiled and said, "Levy, this General will advance and retreat with you."

Saluting at General Stephen, General Levi sighed and said slowly, "Long live the king, long live Spain!"

Stephen shouted in a deep voice, "Long live the king, long live Spain!"

In the face of the Ming Infantry with such powerful weapons as the Tiger Squat Cannon, it was difficult for the Spanish side to resist only relying on fire guns and even bows and arrows.

Even if he temporarily blocked the footsteps of Daming soldiers by virtue of the superior number of people, as the tiger squatting gun was pushed up, it only took a few shots, and the entire team collapsed on the spot.No one had the courage to stand before the tiger squatted the gun.

In the pool of blood, both General Levi and General Stevin were also severely damaged by Chaos Run's shelling.

Leaning on the soldier's corpse, General Levi, whose face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, tried his best to say to General Si Dewen: "Si Dewen, thank you!"

Si Dewen's chest was sunken, blood was gushing out of his mouth, but a bright light flashed in his eyes. He stared at General Levi and said slowly: "This general only wants to be worthy of his heart!"

The sound of heavy footsteps came slowly, and General Stephen and Levi, who were already dying, turned their heads with difficulty and looked at the person who came.

I saw several figures striding over, and the person headed was Yu Dayou.

For Yu Dayou, General Levi and General Si Dewen were no strangers. Although they said they had never had any face-to-face conversations, they had fought several times before, and they could recognize each other with the help of a telescopic mirror.

Yu Dayou looked at the two Spanish generals who had fallen in the pool of blood, and nodded lightly. Just by looking at the injuries on the two of them, he knew that the two must have suffered the impact of the tiger squatting gun. They didn't lose their lives on the spot. It was lucky.

Standing in front of the two, Yu Dayou looked at the two, and suddenly gave a military salute to express his admiration for the two.

Chapter 2: Destroy the country in the present [[-] more]

After all, in the battle just now, a large number of Spanish generals led their soldiers to surrender, and it was almost impossible to find a general to die.

But in the past few years, there have been many wars with the Xiyi, and gradually I have come to understand that among the Xiyi, it is normal for the generals to fail and surrender.

This is also the situation of the war between the West and Yi, so when the two sides are fighting, few generals choose to fight to the death. As long as the situation is not good, some generals will choose to surrender.

But generals like General Levi and General Si Dewen who would rather die than surrender are really the first time Yu Dayou has encountered them.

In the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, it was normal for a general to fight to the death, and it was also the right choice.

If you really choose to surrender to the enemy, it will really be a lifetime of shame, and it may even affect your family and relatives. Therefore, Yu Dayou has always admired generals who choose to fight to the death.

No matter how the surrendered generals complimented Yu Dayou, Yu Dayou didn't pay any attention, because in Yu Dayou's view, these people were all greedy for life and fear of death, and it was simply not enough for him to take a second look.

"Da Ming, Tiger Wei Bo Yu Dayou!"

Yu Dayou had learned a fluent Xiyi language, so General Levi and General Si Dewen could understand Yu Dayou's words.

The eyes of the two of them lit up, just like the title of Daming. In the West, those who can hold a title can be said to be a noble aristocrat.

Although they were amazed at Yu Dayou's youth, it was a blessing to be able to meet the opponent who defeated him before he died.

"Levy!"

"Stephen!"

The two tried their best to spit out their names, but the injuries were too serious, and they were dying. As soon as they spit out their names, they were gasping for breath. Just looking at the situation, it seemed that they were about to die.

With a wow, Levi spurted a mouthful of blood, his eyes suddenly widened, his body twitched and he lost his breath.

Stephen was only a dozen breaths later than General Levi, and when Levi lost his breath, Stephen's body began to twitch.

Looking at the bodies of the two generals, Yu Dayou said to the personal soldiers beside him, "Send someone to bury the bodies of the two."

The resistance in the port gradually collapsed with the fall of General Levi and General Stephen. When some generals chose to flee, some generals insisted on resisting, but their backbone was General Levi and General Stephen.

Especially when the news of the death of the two generals spread, the Spanish troops who were still resisting actually chose to surrender one by one.

It's just that in less than a day, the port guarded by tens of thousands of troops has changed hands so easily.

To be honest, it was a bit beyond Yu Dayou’s expectations that the port was taken down so easily. After all, at the beginning, when Yu Dayou and Qi Jingtong and others came up with the plan to attack the port, they divided it into several steps to strive for The port can be taken within three days.

As a result, in less than a day, the port fell into the hands of Daming.

A total of more than [-] Spanish soldiers, in addition to the thousands who died, the remaining about [-] people surrendered.

From the collars of those generals who surrendered, Yu Dayou and others knew that Grand Duke Qiangwei, who was in charge of the port defense, had fled first, and they immediately understood why the port fell so easily.

It can be said that if Archduke Rose did not escape, but instead stayed to lead these Spanish soldiers to stop them, I am afraid that even if there is a tiger crouching gun as a big killer to open the way, it will take at least three days to take the port.

In the luxurious courtyard where Grand Duke Qiangwei used to live, Yu Dayou, Qi Jingtong, Yue Buqun and other high-level generals of the Ming army were gathered together.

In the large hall, dozens of generals gathered together, while Yu Dayou and Qi Jingtong were sitting there.

The generals below are the ones who are discussing what you say and what I say.

One of the generals said with a bit of excitement: "In my opinion, we should immediately order our troops and run directly to the capital of Spain, destroying this country, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Just listening to the understatement of the general's general destroying the country, it can be seen that destroying the country is not difficult for them, and the countries they destroy are not one or two, one more Spain is not much, and one less is not enough. Not much.

"The army has been fighting again and again, and it is already in a state of exhaustion. In my opinion, it is best to make a major renovation for a period of time, and then consider whether to break the Spanish capital and destroy the country!"

In the hall, about what to do next, the generals were almost divided into two factions. Needless to say, one faction insisted on not staying and went straight to the Spanish capital.

Yu Dayou and Qi Jingtong who were sitting there were drinking tea calmly, and did not rush to express their attitude, but just watched the generals arguing there.

After a long time, several generals argued for a long time. It can be said that you have your reason, I have my reason, and no one can convince the other.

All I could hear was a general coughing lightly: "Everyone, we can't achieve any results, let's see what Commander Yu and Commander Qi mean."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Qi Jingtong and Yu Dayou.

Everyone knows that no matter how they argue, Yu Dayou and Qi Jingtong are the ones who can really make up their minds.

A general with a smile on his face said to Yu Dayou and the others: "I also ask the commander to help us solve our doubts, so that we can know what to do."

Yu Dayou put down the teacup in his hand, first glanced at Qi Jingtong, then smiled and swept his eyes from the group of people, slowly stood up, and said with a right look: "Everyone, this commander has already discussed with Qi Shuai, it is the so-called soldier. You are very quick, since I want to destroy this country, I naturally have to do it in one go, otherwise, once I wait for it to react, and then I want to destroy the other party, I am afraid it will not be so easy."

A general whispered softly, with a bit of disdain: "It's just a small barbarian country. As long as I am willing, when I will destroy him is just a matter of words."

However, the generals heard the meaning of Yu Dayou's words, and they all showed excitement.

Although they said that they did not know how many countries they had destroyed all the way to the west, many of these destroyed countries did not even have names. One city and one state dared to call themselves a country. Even if such a country is destroyed, they themselves have nothing to achieve. sense.

But the Kingdom of Spain is different. You must know that this is an invincible naval power.

When it comes to countries such as Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands, they are quite famous even in the Daming territory. With the opening of the sea, overseas news spread to the Daming Mainland, and many people know about the maritime powers, Spain and Portugal.

If they can really destroy Spain this time, then it is conceivable that the sensation that will be caused by returning to the country will be conceivable.

The mobilization of troops and horses is just a matter of one sentence, but if it is really implemented, it will not take a while.

Even if the officials and generals below are very fast, it will be several hours after the army is assembled.

Yu Dayou left Qi Jingtong to sit in the port, and led almost three thousand soldiers to guard the prisoners, while he led more than seventeen thousand people straight to the Spanish capital.

Toledo is the capital of Spain, and King Charles is also known as Charles I.

Charles integrated the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon to form the modern kingdom of Spain.

It can be said that the Kingdom of Spain was born in the hands of Charles I. It can be said to be the founding monarch. Charles I was not a foolish lord. Otherwise, Spain would not have become a maritime power in the fiercely competitive West.

It's just that Charles I is very old now, and once a monarch reaches grades, he naturally loses a bit of ambition to expand abroad.

The same is true of Charles I. Although the current Charles I is not a fool, he is gradually immersed in enjoyment.

After all, with Spain's momentum, it is almost invincible at sea. As for overseas, it occupies countless sites. A steady stream of gold and silver jewelry was shipped back to Spain. This time is definitely the most brilliant period in Spain. King Charles I naturally has enough confidence to enjoy it.

However, on this day, Toledo's peace was broken by a rushing carriage.

The family emblem on the carriage made everyone recognize that it was the carriage of Grand Duke Rose, who sat in the Strait of Gibraltar to ensure that the important port of the Strait of Gibraltar was always in the hands of Spain.

Therefore, many people felt very curious when they saw Grand Duke Qiangwei's carriage rushing into the city. Most importantly, seeing Grand Duke Qiangwei's carriage heading straight for the palace, some people couldn't help but feel a little strange.

In the palace, the aged Charles I was holding a ball in the palace, and many nobles of the kingdom brought their wives to the ball.

A figure appeared beside Charles I, who was joking with a few noble ladies. The man whispered in Charles I's ear for a while, and saw Charlie I, who was holding a wine glass, shake his hand slightly, and the red wine spilled on a lady's skirt. It made the lady groan for a while.

If it were normal, Charles I would definitely be coaxing in the face of the lady's coquettish anger, but how could Charles I, who was shocked by the news at the moment, still in the mood? In the stunned eyes, he turned and left.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the side hall of the main hall, Charles I, who had a dignified expression on his face, became more and more gloomy, and looked at the Grand Duke Rose, who was already waiting in the side hall, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

Even in the face of Charles I, Grand Duke Rose just stood up and bowed to Charles I: "I have seen Your Majesty."

With a flick of his sleeves, Charles I sat down and stared at the Grand Duke Rose and said, "Grand Duke Rose, aren't you sitting in the Strait of Gibraltar, why did you return it in a hurry?"

Grand Duke Qiangwei said calmly: "Your Majesty, Ming people invaded the port. This Grand Duke came back this time in the hope that His Majesty can dispatch troops to reinforce the port so that the port will not be lost!"

Looking at Grand Duke Qiangwei's devotion to the country, he clenched his fists in anger when he knew that Grand Duke Qiangwei was fleeing from battle.

If possible, Charles I would have liked to drag Archduke Rose down and beheaded, but Charles I couldn't do that.

He is just unifying Spain. The power held by a group of nobles in the country is no worse than that of his king, especially Grand Duke Qiangwei, who is a representative of many nobles. Even his king is not good at targeting Grand Duke Qiangwei. For Grand Duke Rose, I don't know what kind of associations those nobles will have.

Taking a deep breath, Charles I looked at Grand Duke Rose, and nodded with a smile on his face: "It is rare for Grand Duke Rose to be dedicated to the country, and this king is very pleased, but it was hard work for the Grand Duke to return all the way, or early. Go back and rest."

When he saw Grand Duke Rose, he wanted to get angry and angry, but he had nothing to do with Grand Duke Rose, so Charles I could only hold back his anger and didn't want to see Grand Duke Rose.

Grand Duke Rose also understood that Charles I didn't want to see himself at this moment, so he didn't stay to continue to stimulate Charles I.

However, when he got up and left, Grand Duke Rose said to Charles I: "Your Majesty, when I left the port, the Mingren fleet was attacking the fleet. If there is no miracle, I am afraid that the port will not last for a few days, so please Your Majesty can be as soon as possible. Send troops, or the Strait of Gibraltar will be in danger!"
