"Master Marquis, I don't want to stay here alone!"

After more than ten days of assault training for the 'Seville Security Army' formed by the small Moors, in early September of the 27th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force, which had been stationed in Seville for nearly three months,

Finally, we are ready to enter Madrid, the capital of Spain.

"Wan'er, listen, you are pregnant now. If you follow us on a long journey, if... we will leave five thousand feather forest guards here to guard you, you can wait here with peace of mind, waiting for our child to be born.

My husband will definitely come back!"

Caressing the green hair of the beauty in his arms, Wang Bing couldn't help but look doting on her face.

"Master Marquis, father, he... maid, maid is just your maid!"

Hearing Wang Bing's self-proclaimed 'husband', Lin Waner, who had just been unwilling to be with Wang Bing this time, immediately transformed into a murmuring kitten and had long forgotten about it.

The previous one was no longer willing to give in.

"Fuck your maid, you are our child's mother, so what am I if I'm not your husband? Besides, didn't my father-in-law just become a pirate for Ming Dynasty, and sell some 'medicinal materials' by the way? We set the rules.

, so what if we break our promise? Whoever is not convinced has the ability to bite me, you are right, son!"

While talking, Wang Bing, who was rubbing Lin Wan'er's pregnant belly, put on an expression that looked like he was just being a rogue.

"If you don't want it, Lord Marquis, Wan'er will be your maid, so that my maid can follow you wherever you go..."

"You are already our child's mother, this matter is not up to you. Just wait here obediently for your husband to come back, hahahaha!"

…

"General, why should I stay here to look after the family? I'm still young, and it's the time when I need practical training..."

Seeing the army that was about to leave, Cao Rong, the prince-in-law who was left behind by Wang Bing to guard Seville, couldn't help muttering with a look of reluctance.

It turned out that when faced with the task of attacking Madrid or guarding Seville, no one among the generals wanted to stay.

For this reason, these people did not hesitate to use the Taiziwei's experience in suppressing rebellions as an excuse to want the Taiziwei and these half-grown men to stay and lead the Yulin Guards to guard Seville.

However, this reason was eventually dismissed by Wang Bing on the grounds that young people needed more practical training. In the end, the task of guarding Seville fell to Cao Rong, the Prince Consort.

"You are so young. No matter how young you are, how can you be as young as the people led by the Crown Prince? Your Wenzhao family must be good at making soy sauce now, so I will keep a good watch here. If there is any mistake, let me see how I deal with you.

!”

Seeing Cao Rong's "shameless" appearance, Wang Bing directly brought up his son who had the same name as the fierce general of the late Ming Dynasty in original history to expose his sophistry.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that his maternal background was so different from that of the fierce generals in the original history, Wang Bing would have suspected that Cao Wenzhao and Cao Wenzhao were the same person.

After all, if we look at his father's place of origin and time of birth, Cao Rong's son is very similar to Cao Wenzhao in original history.

However, Wang Bing has forgotten that the history of this time and space has been messed up by him, so how can everything still correspond to the original history?

"Don't worry, general, I will definitely guard this Seville, and there will never be any mistakes!"

In the end, seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed, Cao Rong had no choice but to put aside his unwillingness and solemnly accepted the order to guard Seville.

…

"Lao San, it seems you are right. These tall horses of Europa are good at short-distance sprinting and explosive power, but their endurance is much worse than our war horses!"

Looking at the few Tatar horses next to him who were quite different in height and appearance, but were obviously much stronger in energy than the horses he was riding, Li Chengming, who originally had high expectations for these tall European horses, now

But he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Hey, I told you a long time ago that these tall horses are only suitable for short-distance charging and fighting with swords in the past. You still don't believe it. When it comes to endurance and long-distance riding in the army, these war horses specially bred by Europeans,

How can it compare to our own Tatar war horses? And don’t forget, the speed of our march this time..."

Seeing Li Chengming's somewhat disappointed look, Wang Bing continued to pour cold water on him with a smirk on his face.

Speaking of which, the army's march into Madrid this time was not very fast. The journey of more than a thousand miles from Seville to Madrid actually took almost half a month. Compared with Habayashi Wei's previous march speed

, which is no different from taking a walk.

"I said, Third Brother, I think you are just gloating about your misfortune, so I won't be fooled by you. Even if these horses cannot be used as military horses for long-distance marches, they can be used as civilian riding horses, right? Look at this figure, if

Get it back to the Ming Dynasty and sell it to those wealthy businessmen and so on, and you are guaranteed to make a lot of money, hahahaha..."

Because the ration rate of all firearms is gradually increasing, today's Ming army rarely has the time to charge and kill with swords and guns like in the past.

Therefore, after discovering that these tall horses were not suitable for long-distance riding, Li Chengming turned to the plan of introducing these excellent-looking horses as horses for private use.

In early September of the twenty-seventh year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, when Wang Bing led the Yulin Guards, the Shenji Battalion and the Seville Security Army to arrive near Madrid, as the commander-in-chief, he was not prepared at all for what was about to come.

Instead of worrying about the war, he and Li Chengming discussed the advantages and disadvantages of these powerful European horses.

There was no way. In the previous battle of Seville, the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty not only annihilated the Spanish naval fleet, but the Yulin Guards and the Shenji Battalion also defeated the tens of thousands of the Spanish Army who dominated Europe, leaving only casualties.

The Duke of Lerma escapes with thousands of people in command.

And this was because Wang Bing deliberately let him go. Otherwise, these tens of thousands of Spanish Royal Field Army and mercenaries would have been annihilated like the Invincible Fleet.

After this battle, there is no need to talk about the sea. The Spanish Army, which used to dominate Europe, was directly defeated by the courage to face the Ming Army as Wang Bing planned, and did not dare to go out of the city to fight with it in the field.

Therefore, the unimpeded army marching along this way is really no different from taking a walk. Of course, this is also the reason why Wang Bing and the others deliberately did not attack the cities along the way.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had no territorial claims on the Spanish mainland. No matter how much land it conquered now, it would only be a benefit to the "Little Moors".

But in Wang Bing's plan, European powers like Spain can be weakened and dismembered, but there is no need to destroy the country.

Therefore, in order to prevent the new Muslim country that is about to appear on the Iberian Peninsula from becoming a dominant country, he will naturally not do such things that harm others and do not benefit himself.

…

"Your Majesty the Marquis, we meet again!"

A few days later, shortly after Wang Bing led his army to arrive outside Madrid, as one of the 'allies' that Wang Bing had defeated, a 10,000-strong Portuguese army also came over under the leadership of his 'old acquaintance' Conde.

"Haha, Governor Kong's movements are quite fast!"

Looking at Kong Deda, who was dusty with work and with a tired look on his face, Wang Bing didn't care that his surname was not Kong at all. He directly greeted Da Ming with great enthusiasm. There was no trace that the two had ever been rivals.

.

"Your Excellency the Marquis invites you, how dare you be late, haha!"

After learning about the results of the Ming army's battle in Seville and knowing that in this battle for Madrid, Portugal only needed to make a 'work' and did not need to put in much effort to gain independence, Portugal agreed of course.

No more hesitation.

Not only that, in order to maintain a good relationship with Ming Dynasty, a powerful ally, Portugal not only pardoned Conte for his previous crime of losing the Far East colonies, but also appointed him as the Portuguese commander-in-chief in this battle. The reason for this is naturally

Because he is 'friends' with Wang Bing, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force.

Speaking of which, compared to the leisurely march of the Ming army, after the Portuguese side received a message from the Ming Royal Navy to dispatch troops, Conde traveled day and night.

Fortunately, the Spanish troops were empty at this time, and most of the troops had already been reduced to Madrid, so they did not encounter any major obstacles along the way.

"Since your country has sent Governor Kong as the commander-in-chief, it seems that Governor Fan will be here soon, haha!"

After shaking hands according to European etiquette, Wang Bing guessed the Dutch general who would lead the army this time.

"Well, if it is Governor Fan who comes from the Netherlands, he is probably still on his way now. Your Excellency, Marquis, should we wait for them or attack the city now?"

Hearing Wang Bing's guess, Kong Deda did not correct Wang Bing's wrong way of calling him, but instead followed his call and answered.

There is no way, these are the rules. As long as you are strong, your habits, your rules and methods are internationally accepted standards. It doesn't matter whether you are used to it or not, it doesn't matter.

"Since they may all be old friends, let's wait a little longer. Madrid is here and we can't escape anyway, haha!"

Looking at the city of Madrid not far away, Wang Bing said with a relaxed smile. He did not pay attention to the Spaniards who were strengthening their defense deployment.

There is no way, all self-confidence comes from strength. This time, relying on the large number of war horses requisitioned in Seville and its surrounding areas, Wang Bing not only restored the full strength of the Yulin Guards and Shenji Battalion in the Ming Dynasty.

In the cavalry mode, Fuyu even pulled over all five hundred breech-loading naval guns.

In the face of five hundred artillery pieces that surpassed Spain in terms of range and accuracy, no matter how strong the city wall of Madrid was, it could not stop the Ming army's front!

Therefore, in Wang Bing's view, the Spanish's various defensive methods are just seeking a kind of self-comfort.
