"Hey, who told you that melee combat must be hand-to-hand combat? Think we are stupid!"

Glancing at the corpses of the Spanish spearmen and sword-and-shielders who had lost their arms and legs after being blown up by grenades, all the Ming army soldiers couldn't help but have ridicule on their faces.

Needless to say, when faced with the Ming army launching a general attack, the Spanish pikemen and sword and shield bearers who wanted to avenge their shame in close combat were greeted not by the Ming army's swords straddling their waists, but by volleys of swords.

The grenade arrived.

It goes without saying that when he uses a spear and a shield to fight grenades, the result is natural. No matter how strong his Spanish plate armor is, it can't stop the power of the grenade explosion!

Therefore, in less than a stick of incense, the sword and shield bearers of the Spanish spearmen who wanted to defend their last dignity were beaten to pieces by the Ming army and lost the courage to fight again.

"Damn it, this is too rough. If I had known, I would have been a little more 'gentle' just now!"

Looking at the surrendered Spanish prisoners in front of him, Zhang Weixian, who was in charge of commanding the battle, couldn't help but feel a headache.

There was no way, he had never considered the issue of prisoners from the beginning, but now he didn't know how to deal with these prisoners.

"Third brother, what are you going to do with these captives? We have heard that these Western Yi ghosts have a tradition of redeeming captives, hehe..."

While Zhang Weixian was still worrying about how to deal with the captives in front of him, Li Chengming on the Zhenhai had already begun to calculate the value of these "human dragon silver".

"Haha, if that's the case, then all future prisoners will be left to you to handle!"

After all, this is Spain's homeland, and it is impossible for Wang Bing to 'handle' these Spaniards like he did in Manila when visiting troops are fighting. So handing them over to Li Chengming to squeeze out the maximum value is considered waste utilization.

"Send the order, the army enters the city, and according to the previously assigned tasks, control the royal palace, cathedral and other key points in the city!"

In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, on June 15th, on the day they arrived in Seville, it only took 4,500 soldiers to annihilate and capture more than 7,000 soldiers stationed in Seville in half a day, and successfully conquered Spain.

Seville was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force.

…

"Dear General of the Ming Dynasty, Spain and the Ming Dynasty have always been friendly. More than ten years ago, the two sides cooperated to eliminate pirates... I wonder why your country traveled thousands of miles to invade our country this time?"

At the King's Palace in the center of Seville, the mayor, Espada Arcos, took the initiative to protest at the door of the King's Palace after Wang Bing entered the city without waiting for his 'invitation'.

"Haha, I didn't expect to meet a foreigner who is proficient in Chinese here. It's a bit beyond my expectation. I must have been to Luzon or Ming Dynasty, right?"

Wang Bing couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Espada speak fluent Chinese in Spain.

"I stayed in Manila for a period of time more than ten years ago, and also visited Yuegang in the Ming Dynasty. I was also a very good friend with a local Han Chinese in Manila..."

Seeing Wang Bing's surprised look, Espada took the opportunity to start a 'relationship' with him.

"Haha, is that so? Then I have to tell you with regret that your Han friend is definitely no longer alive!"

What Espada didn't expect was that after listening to his self-introduction, Wang Bing, who was still smiling slightly, suddenly turned gloomy at this moment.

"Oh? My Han friend is not very old. He is only in his forties at most. Moreover, I did not name my Han friend. Why is Your Excellency the Marquis so sure that my friend has unfortunately passed away?

Woolen cloth?"

Although he was a little puzzled by Wang Bing's sudden change of expression, he was even more surprised that the other party could definitely tell the news of his friend's death.

"Is it strange? If I tell you that this is the reason why I traveled thousands of miles to come to Spain, would you be even more surprised?"

Staring at Espada's rather sincere and confused look, the expression in Wang Bing's eyes finally softened a bit.

"Well, I don't quite understand what the Marquis means!"

Looking at Wang Bing's somewhat soothing eyes, Espada, who was supposed to be more relaxed, suddenly felt a little uneasy for no reason at this moment.

"Your Governor de Vera in Luzon massacred more than 30,000 Han Chinese in Manila during the Ming Dynasty for no reason... Do you think it can be called an invasion when I come here?"

Staring at the confused Espada, Wang Bing told the story of De Vera's massacre of Han people in Manila with a cold expression.

"What? De Vera actually, actually massacred the Han people in Manila? Oh, my God, he must be crazy, otherwise why would he do such a stupid thing?"

When he heard that all the Han people in Manila were slaughtered by De Vera and others, Espada couldn't help but shudder.

You know, before the Spanish Armada was defeated by the British, many Spanish senior officials clamored to conquer the Ming Dynasty, but Espada was one of the few "sober people" among them.

There was no way around it. When he went to Ming Dynasty more than ten years ago, Ming Dynasty's New Deal reforms had already begun to bear fruit. Therefore, he had a unique and profound understanding of the strength of this behemoth.

Therefore, when he heard that De Vera was stupid enough to treat the people of Ming Dynasty as if they were natives of the New World at the door of Ming Dynasty, he did not jump up in shock, which was considered to be very calm.

"Your Majesty the Marquis, I don't know if Manila and De Vera are now..."

In the end, although he already had some guesses about the situation of de Vera and others as well as Manila and other Far Eastern colonies, Espada still couldn't help but confirm it with Wang Bing with a sense of luck.

"Haha, what do you think, Mr. Mayor? My army has already reached your homeland. Do you think your colonies in the Far East have any chance of surviving?"

Looking at the uneasy Espada, Wang Bing couldn't help but sneered with a joking look on his face.

"As for De Vera and others, they dare to massacre the people of my Ming Dynasty at the door of my Ming Dynasty's home, then they will naturally use their lives to atone for their sins!"

In the end, Wang Bing had already calmed down a lot of his violent psychology due to months of sailing on the sea, but now he couldn't help but resurfaced.

"So, the Marquis came here just for revenge?"

Feeling Wang Bing's unabashed cold murderous intent, Espada couldn't help but shudder again.

"Revenge? Haha, our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette... To be precise, I am here to judge and let the guilty people be punished by the laws of my Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing Espada's horrified expression, Wang Bing smiled and put on a very righteous coat for his revenge.

"Your Excellency, the Marquis, there is a saying in your country that 'every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner'. Now that the executioner who killed the people of your country has been punished, is it now..."

"Mr. Mayor, do you think that the people of Ming Dynasty are the Indians you slaughtered at will in the New World? Can the precious lives of my 30,000 people of Ming Dynasty be repaid by the thousands of you in Luzon?"

Before Espada could finish speaking, Wang Bing couldn't help but slapped his palm on the desk in front of him, and then stared at him with a murderous look on his face.

"Marquis...Your Majesty, this is all a misunderstanding. We cannot, cannot always live in the hatred of the past. God tells us to learn to forgive, forgive, and resolve hatred. If we persist in deepening this hatred, it will only make us

us……"

Faced with Wang Bing's aggressive attitude, Espada could only lower her stance and tried to persuade Wang Bing to give up this act of revenge.

"Well, what Mr. Mayor said is actually correct, 'it is better to dissolve enemies than to marry them'! And there is also a saying in Buddhist scriptures, 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.' But, the butcher's knife has never been picked up, so what?

Can you let it go? Even if you want to 'enlighten the Tao and become a Buddha', you have to wait until I 'pick it up' first before saying no?"

Seeing that Espada was actually using God to fool him, Wang Bing couldn't help but give him a lesson on the true meaning of "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately".

"Your Majesty the Marquis, is this matter really... no room for negotiation?"

Seeing Wang Bing's joking smile, Espada, who finally understood Wang Bing's meaning of 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately', couldn't help but change his expression.

There was no other way. Today, with a smaller number than the Spanish army, the Ming army simply annihilated and captured the entire Seville garrison, which is enough to illustrate its powerful combat power.

Therefore, seeing that Wang Bing had no intention of letting go, it was strange that he was not frightened. What's more, this was a battle on Spanish soil. No matter whether the subsequent battle was won or lost, Spain would suffer the most!

"I have said that I am here to judge on behalf of the Ming Dynasty this time! The blood of the people of the Ming Dynasty cannot be shed in vain, and someone needs to bear the anger of the Ming Dynasty! So, go back and tell Felipe III and let him assemble

Army, don’t say that I didn’t give him a chance!”

He glanced at Espada coldly, but Wang Bing was serving tea to see the guest off!

…

"Master Marquis, why don't we attack Madrid directly and beat them before we can catch them? If we wait until they react and are prepared..."

Seeing Espada leaving, Chen Lin and other generals at sea and land were puzzled by Wang Bing's decision.

You must know that this is Spain after all. The Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army, navy and land combined, only has a strength of more than 50,000 people. If the whole country of Spain comes to fight and falls into a 'people's war', it will be itself the one who suffers.

"Madrid? Haha, of course I want to go to Madrid. But now is not the time!"
