    "My opinion is very simple. For the time being, the war has not been completely won. England and France in the north have not yet won. If we want peace talks, we have to wait until they are defeated before we can talk."

    Tian Erniu looked at Almeida, Castre and others, and said thoughtfully.

    The Portuguese family is naturally unable to satisfy Ming's huge appetite. The claim for tens of millions of taels of silver is naturally the minimum. What's more, this time, Ming is also preparing to set foot in Europe and get a colony in Europe.  , as for getting it from Portugal, Britain or France, it all works. Anyway, Ming Dynasty must have a colony in Europe in the future.

    "this¡­"

    Hearing what Tian Erniu said, Almeida and Karster looked at each other. It seemed unwise not to eat the meat in front of them first.

    "We Portugal are willing to withdraw from the Three Kingdoms Alliance now, and we are even willing to form an alliance with you two countries to fight against France and the British."

    When Castre heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said.

    "Humph~"

    "If you don't withdraw from the Three Kingdoms Alliance, do you still want to continue our war?"

    When Almeida heard this, she immediately snorted at Castre.

    Then he thought for a while and said: "Peace talks are possible later, but if Portugal wants to achieve peace, it must now pay a certain amount of war reparations to Spain and the Ming Empire."

    As Europeans, with the genetic inheritance of bandits, the Spaniards will naturally not let the Portuguese go so easily, and interviews later are also possible.

    "But the knife has already been placed on the opponent's neck. No matter what, he has to cut off a piece of flesh, otherwise he will be sorry for his robber genes.

    "We have no objection to this."

    Tian Erniu and Jiang Liang looked at each other, thought about it and nodded slightly.

    ¡°Due to the long war, Portugal has no extra wealth to pay compensation.¡±

    When Castre heard this, he became a very bachelor and acted like a rogue. Well, this is still the gene of a robber. It doesn¡¯t matter whether he has money or his life. Anyway, he can¡¯t lose money anyway.

    "That's right~"

    Jiang Liang immediately smiled and said: "As far as I know, Portugal is still very rich. You have made a lot of money relying on the slave trade on the African coast and the transit trade in the Mediterranean."

    "If we don't pay compensation now, we in Spain will not stop attacking. When our army reaches Lisbon, you will have no chance to pay compensation."

    Seeing that Tian Erniu also had the intention to receive war reparations first, Almeida and Colste suddenly became energetic. After nearly a year of war, Spain's financial problems have become quite serious, and the national treasury has almost been empty.  , the wealth accumulated over the years has been consumed in the war, and now funds are urgently needed.

    "What I mean is that, first, Portugal withdraws from the Three Kingdoms Alliance. Second, Portugal now pays compensation of five million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty and Spain. As for other conditions, we will wait until the war is over to discuss."

    Tian Erniu thought for a while and said slowly.

    ¡°Impossible, we in Portugal simply don¡¯t have that much money to compensate you.¡±

    When the Duke of Castre heard this, he immediately shook his head and compensated each person with five million, which added up to ten million taels of silver. Maybe it was nothing to the Ming Dynasty, but to Portugal, it was nothing more than a sum of money.  A heavy burden. Portugal at this time was far from the Portugal of the historical maritime era. All the precious metals in the Americas fell into the pockets of the Ming Dynasty.

    "No, we in Spain have fought hard for a year, how can we only pay five million taels of silver in compensation?"

    Unexpectedly, Almeida didn¡¯t agree with it either, and even thought the amount was too small.

    ""

    Tian Erniu and Jiang Liang looked at each other and felt a little speechless. Compared with the Ming people, these Europeans really have more of a bandit spirit. Five million silver is also an extremely huge number for Spain.  Yes, of course, Spain is also rich now.

    By relying on trade with the Ming Dynasty, they also earned huge wealth.

    "It seems there is no way we can come to an agreement."

    Tian Erniu thought for a while and then said: "If that's the case, then just wait a little longer. When the Spanish army arrives here, I think the negotiation may go smoother."

    These words are addressed to Castre and An.It is equivalent to each Portuguese needing to spend nearly ten taels of silver to pay war reparations. It can be imagined that this is a huge number.

    "Your Majesty, you can't agree~"

    "This war indemnity is too great. We Portuguese would rather stand alone than agree to such a humiliating treaty."

    Duke Diogo of Viseu stood up again and said that he is Portugal's main militant. Even though the situation is no longer good, he still has a tough mouth.

    "What are you going to fight with?"

    "Are you really going to be willing to let Portugal subjugate itself?"

    "It's just money. If we don't have it, we can make more money. As long as our country is still here, we have hope."

    "If we continue to fight and we are completely defeated on the road, will Spain still be willing to accept the current conditions?"

    "I'm afraid that when the time comes, even if the Ming Dynasty mediates, the Spaniards will never let go of the opportunity to annex us."

    When Castre heard this, he couldn't help roaring and wanted to fight. The country was really about to perish.

    "Promise them~"

    "But you need to pay in installments~"

    Manuel I closed his eyes in pain and said helplessly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
