In Port Fifford, the Chinese have Chinese neighborhoods, the Japanese have Japanese neighborhoods, and the Portuguese naturally have their own neighborhoods, or rather, here are European neighborhoods. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info All European countries have established trade halls in this area, gathered together.

The Portuguese guide led the way, and came to the Portuguese Merchant House with hundreds of guards with loaded guns.

"General Shen, this is your place to live these days, you have worked the sea, please rest first, and discuss many things tomorrow." The guide said politely, seeing the majesty on the dock just now, he also felt a little kind in his heart.

"Well said, well said. The matter of purchasing grain will trouble Your Excellency a lot, contact the local merchant as soon as possible, and load the grain on the ship. Shen Yourong also said politely, not at all the posture of bullying men and women at the dock just now.

"Your Excellency the General, please rest assured. So I won't bother with it. Seeing Shen Yourong's attitude, the guide's heart was relieved, and he said goodbye and left.

"Farewell." Shen Yourong also hugged his fists and sent people away.

Then he looked at his residence, a small two-story western-style building, with some other buildings and a courtyard next to it, enough for more than a hundred people to live and step down to the defense.

"Not bad." Shen Yourong admired, and then stepped forward.

With the passage of time, the news of the Ming Empire's naval fleet visiting Feifu Port spread, and when Shen Yourong was resting, the heads of various forces in the port received such a report,

The British, the French, the Spaniards, and the Dutch, all put such a detailed report in front of their heads, including Shen Yourong's rebuke and coercion of the port.

"What a domineering one!" The heads of various countries are all sentimental. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, this Ming general's approach is not to take Ruan Fuyuan in his eyes at all, and he will reprimand the other party's subordinates when he comes up.

"It's not easy." The Dutch leader sighed in his heart. He is the most worried, the Dutch have most of the colonies in the South Seas, but these places are too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and they have no problem with navigation technology, but how to ensure safety?

To Manila in Luzon and Port Fauff in Annam, they only need to deal with Chinese pirates, this is their chassis, but it is not easy for them to go to Batavia, not to mention the unfamiliar routes and water conditions along the way, just the indigenous pirates and Western pirates are enough to drink a pot.

Therefore, the Dutch had the largest chassis in the South Seas at this time, but in the trade with China, he was still inferior to Portugal and Spain, which had the most. The most prosperous Nanzhili and Zhejiang are about the same distance from Manila as Feifu Port.

It's just that now the three kings of the East China Sea have blocked the shipping lanes, started a war with Japan, and the rebellion within the Ming Dynasty has cut off trade in the past two years, as long as the war subsides, it won't be like this.

Spain and Portugal have interests in China, but the Netherlands does not, he is naturally unwilling, originally next year they will start the invasion of Taiwan and Penghu again, however, now seeing the strong strength of the fleet flying the Ming flag, the Dutch businessman has no score.

It was said that there were only a few broken ships in this ancient country, and how could such a majestic fleet suddenly appear, although the report said that the sailors who operated the ships were novice and not very skilled, but the number was too terrifying. Eleven battleships, and all of them are second- and third-class battleships of the main force, which is a lot.

What's more, who knows how much hidden strength there is like this under the figure of the behemoth of Daming?

"No, it shouldn't be like this, it is impossible for Daming to hide such a fleet, there is no reason, and there is no ability." The Dutch overturned their judgment.

"It must be that the Ming Dynasty has changed in the past few years, I heard that they have just changed a young emperor, and they are recruiting missionaries, so maybe these changes are brought by the emperor. In this way....... "the head of the Netherlands suddenly had a light in his eyes.

Young people are open-minded and not conservative, and if they are traders, they may be able to agree. Maybe there won't be a war.

With this judgment, he did not stop at Ferry Harbor at all, and even ignored his merchant ships, handed them over to his subordinates, and went directly to sea by himself, speeding towards Manila.

If a trade agreement could be reached, the port of Fiffo would be nothing, and this prosperous port would soon decline, and if it were not for the sake of Chinese goods, no one would have come to this remote and barbaric country.

Of course, what he didn't know was that at this time, Daming had already demarcated three treaty ports, and as long as the ships drove over, they could buy goods. He can even dump his own goods, ah no, spices from the South Seas. The Netherlands is not an industrial country, and there are simply no goods to dump.

Quang Nam Kingdom, Hue, the seat of the Nguyen imperial court.

This is the famous ancient capital of Vietnam, when the Nguyen Quang Nam, Tay Son Dynasty, the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty, the name is diverse, and it was once renamed Phu Xuan. Hue City was built on a narrow plain on the bank of the Xiang River, close to the plant-rich mountain - Ngoc Ping Mountain, and south by Da Nang.

The Xiang River flows from west to east, and Hue is located on it, standing along the river, as the capital of the Nguyen clan in Quang Nam at this time, it is also divided into two parts, the inner city and the outer city.

The outer city is 8 kilometers in circumference, surrounded by a moat, the city wall is 6 meters high, and there are 24 forts in total. There are 4 gates in the south of the city, 3 gates in the east of the city, and 2 gates each in the west and north of the city. Inside the outer city is the Forbidden City, with a radius of 2.4 kilometers and a city wall of 6 meters high.

At this time, the lord of Quang Nam was Nguyen Phuc Yuan, the Hue he established was basically modeled after the Ming Jingshi, and the inner city was also called the Forbidden City, the buildings in the city were almost identical, the main gate was the noon gate, and after the noon gate was the Taihe Palace, which was the place where the emperor summoned hundreds of officials to deal with government affairs.

Well, Quang Nam is small and has weak financial resources, so it doesn't have that much ability to build a Jinluang Hall and hold ceremonial activities alone. Therefore, there is no saying that the royal gate listens to the government, and works directly in the Jinluan Palace, which is similar to the impression of ordinary people.

At this time, Quang Nam was still nominally the rule of the Northern Hou Li Dynasty, but the person in charge severed the connection with the north, called himself Ren Guo Gong, and set up various institutions to rule and manage the local area of Quang Nam. And the title of Quang Nam is what outsiders call them, and Ruan Phuc Yuan did not deny it, and over time it became his own name.

Of course, it does not appear in various documents, only in private titles. And the ministers called Nguyen Phuc Yuan not the lord of the country, but the lord of Buddha or the lord of Sai.

That afternoon, Nguyen Phuc Yuan was doing his daily business in the Qinzheng Hall behind the Taihe Palace, when suddenly his newly recruited adviser Tao Weici walked in and reported to him what had happened in Phet Fu Harbor this morning.

As a strategist, Tao Weici, like many strategists in novels, is also in charge of an intelligence agency, and it is very easy for him to get the details of what happened at the dock this morning, along with some basic information and information about Shen Yourong.

As a famous naval general in the south, Shen Yourong's reputation in this area is far greater than he imagined. As soon as Ruan Fuyuan looked at the information, he remembered that the Ming Dynasty was led by such a sailor general.

"Isn't this Shen Yourong a general in Fujian, why is he coming to my Guangnan with a fleet now." Ruan Fuyuan frowned and asked. The current situation does not correspond to his memory.

"I inquired from some Ming people who had just come to Hoi An, who was recruited to Tianjin by the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty last year and became Yu Zhigao's deputy, and then Yu Zhigao was promoted, and he took over the other party's position and became the admiral of the Ming Dynasty, commanding the fleet." Tao Weici explained in detail, and then he said something again.

"In the middle of last year, there was a rebellion in the south of Daming, and the original fleet of Daming was wiped out under the leadership of Yu Zhigao, and this year, now only in July, Daming has another such fleet, and it is even larger than last year."

Hearing these words, Ruan Fuyuan fell silent. At this rate, in two years, the Ming fleet will be so strong.

"Daming is rich in resources and abundant in products, which is really enviable!" Ruan Fuyuan sighed a little deflated.

"The Lord of the Buddha must not be like this, I also have an advantage in Guangnan, but this Xiangjiang Plain is a God-given land, and the foundation of the Buddha's foundation is not worse than the Great Tomorrow Dynasty in my opinion. Otherwise, this General Shen Yourong would not have come to my Guangnan to buy grain. Tao Weici hurriedly persuaded.

"Oh, they're here to buy something? Buying food? Hearing the news that Tao Weici suddenly leaked, Ruan Fuyuan became interested.

Hoi An is an ancient port, but it was only after the Portuguese settled here and established the commercial port of Phaff Phuoc that he really took it seriously, and from the trade in Phet Phuoc, he received countless benefits, all kinds of muskets, artillery, and the support of military talents.

It was precisely in this way that he was able to hold out under the attack of the powerful Zheng lord in the north, and he also had the ability to use troops against the Zhancheng in the south and expand the territory.

The land of Hue Quang Nam that he occupied at this time was also the chassis of the city in the past, but later Annam became stronger and stronger, and the land was seized.

It was precisely because he had received so many benefits from the Portuguese that he heard that the Ming people had also come to trade, and Nguyen Phuc Nguyen asked with great interest.

Maybe through this transaction, he may still be able to get the support of Daming. If he had the support of Daming, he was still afraid of what Zheng Song would do, even if he gave the other party a few guts, he would not dare to embezzle himself.

Isn't this how Gao Ping's Mo family is retained, and even, he may be able to get an official title, break away from Houli, and become a self-contained entity.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and looked at Tao Weici with burning eyes, hoping that the other party could bring him good news.
