The participation of the British was a very big variable for this war, especially the Spanish.

For them, the British attacks hit their weakest place, and now is the time for them to be weak.

Ten thousand British soldiers attacked Spain from the north, which immediately caused great turmoil in Spain, because at this time Spain had no troops to mobilize.

But Felipe IV had to mobilize his army to block the attack.

Then the French would not watch the show just like this. Taking advantage of the loopholes in the defense of the Pyrenees, they launched a fierce attack on the Spanish defense line in the Pyrenees.

Fifty bronze cannons from the Ming Dynasty were deployed on the front line and began a fierce bombing against the Spanish army in front.

Alexander, the commander of the artillery, looked at the brand new bronze cannon in front of him. He really liked it. It has a large caliber, strong power, and convenient movement. Anyway, it is all kinds of advantages.

If you want to talk about the shortcomings, you can only say that it is expensive.

Very expensive and expensive.

However, it is not a problem for others to make trouble, but for one's own.

A bronze cannon requires 20,000 Ming silver dollars, 20,000 Ming silver dollars. This is not a small number. The purchasing power of a silver dollar in Europa is equivalent to half a tael of gold, although this Ming silver dollar weighs only six cents and six cents.

However, the Ming people did not accept gold and they only accepted the Ming silver dollars.

Alexander looked at the brand new Ming silver dollar in his hand, with the words "Ming" engraved on it and the six Chinese characters "Ming Central Bank".

Don't ask why Alexander, as a French officer, could understand the Chinese characters of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, everyone was surprised that he was able to serve as the commander of such an important main artillery, because Alexander was the son of a shoemaker.

Yes, the son of a humble shoemaker.

In this era when nobility led everything, why could a lowly shoemaker's son become such an important commander of an artillery?

That can only be said that Alexander was talented. Who made him the best result when learning the artillery skills of the Ming Dynasty among these artillery soldiers?

The operation method of these bronze cannons is different from the cannons they used before, so the French have purchased these bronze cannons for a year and are only on the court now because they need to undergo training.

However, if you want to train these artillery, the first thing you have to face is the language problem. The dials used by these bronze artillery and the operating manual are all written in Chinese characters. If you want to use them proficiently, you must first learn Chinese characters.

What? You want us to translate and translate for you!

Yes, just add the translation fee, it is worth one million Ming silver dollars.

What! Do you think learning the Ming language and writing is very conducive to friendly exchanges between France and the Ming Dynasty?

It's okay, study hard and improve every day.

Alexander, who had the best performance in nature, became the commander of this artillery.

"Six holes and six at altitude! Three shots of rapid shooting!"

"put!"

The commander waved the little red flag forward, and the cannon began to roar.

Interestingly, the language of the launch of this artillery team was actually Mingyan. In order to learn advanced weapons from the Ming Dynasty, the artillery team stipulated that Mingyan must be used as a means of daily communication.

Under the fierce attack of the French, Spain suddenly began to be unable to defend itself. The army had to deal with the French and the Britons who were getting cheap, which was a loss to Spain.

After two months of battle, three Spanish defense lines were broken by the Franes, and the 70,000 French troops were already at the city of Madrid.

Felipe IV was shocked. He did not expect that things would fall to this point, so 40,000 Spanish soldiers carried out heavy defenses around Madrid.

As the trembling decisive battle was about to begin, Austria suddenly attacked. After all, Austria did not want to see Spain lose its combat effectiveness.

However, Richelieu was unwilling to give up, so he ordered the French army to attack Madrid. The two sides fought for another two months. Seeing that from spring to winter, Madrid's defense was very strong. Seventy thousand French troops siege them for two months but did not take them down.

At this time, both countries were exhausted. For this war, France had to provide the army with all its strength and even loaned more than 70 million Ming silver dollars from the Ming Dynasty, and tens of millions of Ming silver dollars were paid every year with interest alone.

The country's economy was almost collapsed, and the Minister of Finance and Property was even more in tears. Seeing the deficit treasury full of deficits, he really went to Richelieu every day to make trouble.

So in November, under the mediation of the Ming Dynasty as a third party, the four parties signed a peace and friendship agreement.

It is known in history as the Quadruple Agreement.

In the agreement, Spain ceded two enclaves east of France to France, and then compensated France's military expenses for 40 million Ming silver dollars and Britain's seven million Ming silver dollars.

He also used Portugal as a concession and mortgaged it to borrow 50 million Ming silver dollars from the Ming Dynasty.

After years of war, the economic damage of both countries has been greatly affected, which has greatly damaged the currencies of both sides. In addition to the strength of the Ming silver dollar, France wants the valuable Ming silver dollar even more.

And I, Daming, said that we are a good person, I will give you as much silver coins as Daming you want.

In this way, this war ended with France's victory.

There seemed to be no winner in this war, except for Charles I, who was taking advantage of it. However, when Charles I saw Spain's compensation, he had a stroke.

Charles I, who drew seven with his left hand and eight with his right hand, abdicated a month later. Stuart, the youngest, ascended the throne and called him Charles II.

It is strange that Charles I's older sons did not ascend the throne. Instead, the youngest ascends the throne. Because he is the youngest and has no ability to govern, the natural person who manages the government becomes Charles II's mother, Queen Mary.

The second year after Charles II took office, the United Maria and the Royalist Party directly attacked the parliament in Britain, arrested members of the parliament headed by John Pim and executed them.

So Britain's rights were all returned to the royalist party headed by Queen Maria.

The storm and clouds were changing, and Zhu Youxiao, who was far away in the Ming Dynasty, was stunned.

Really, he didn't know why the world had changed so much. Why did the European continent become so unintelligible? Is this still the Europa he learned about?

However, although the matter of Europa has changed a lot, all of this is still under control. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was an inevitable force in Europa. When playing games between countries, they must know the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty has mastered half of the economic lifeline of Europa and is eroding the other half.
