"Quick, cannon, cannon get ready. "www.biquge.info Mascolus also roared angrily, there were eleven battleships, which is not a small number anywhere, even if it was the governor of Manila set up by Spain here, he could not take such a large fleet.

In particular, the five three-story battleships led by him, seventy meters long, are even more huge and terrifying, such battleships, he has only seen few in England, and he never imagined that there are five here.

On the entire fortress of Persimmon Mountain, there was chaos, and the musketeers, gunners, were all busy, carrying and carrying, wiping the cannons, wiping the cannons.

"Sir, I thought maybe I could help." In the tense atmosphere, Hong Chengchou suddenly spoke.

His words made Mascolu laugh for a while, but he still kindly persuaded, "Sir, this is a war, a war that has nothing to do with you, and the Portuguese will not give in." ”

"But, sir!" Seeing that the other party didn't listen, he also aggravated, "This is the naval fleet of the Ming Empire, you can't attack him, it will cause a war." ”

"The fleet of the Ming Empire?" Mascolu also repeated, and then his face was full of surprise, "Oh, Maiga, when did Daming have such a fleet." ”

"Sir, I need a boat!" Hong Chengchou interjected again, if you don't interject, you can't do it, the action on the Macao Fortress is simply vivid for the navy with binoculars, and soon, the fleet also blew the horn, ran the window open, the battleship hit horizontally, and the classic battle line was discharged.

"Your Excellency, you have to hurry." Hong Chengchou glanced at the fleet that was moving.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mascolus also nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and soon ordered him to be taken to the harbor, where many fishing boats docked. picked a ship, and Hong Chengchou led people to meet him.

"General, they stopped." On the lookout, sailors shouted below. And Shen Yourong, who was holding a telescope, also saw the movement in the direction of Macao, and a ship sailed out of the port and greeted them.

"Keep the battle line, the artillery is loaded, ready to fire at any time." Shen Yourong calmly gave the order, and did not take it lightly because of the other party's laxity.

The fleet continued to adjust its formation, and soon a white line stretched across the ocean, but it did not open fire, as Mascolu feared.

In the fleet, a small boat with its bow held high ushered in. It is said to be a small boat, but it looks much larger than the fishing boat that Hong Chengchou is riding, and it is extremely fast. The waves were split by the sharp bow, and white sprays were thrown out, and in the midst of the waves, the frigate came quickly, spared a circle, then reduced its speed and walked slowly forward.

"Keep up." Hong Chengchou understood the other party's intentions and ordered the Portuguese sailors, but the other party hesitated, then changed direction and walked forward.

Soon, they came to a gunboat in the center of the battle line, this gunboat had three decks, and the dense cannons were sticking out of the black hole through the gun window, revealing a hideous aura.

With a click, a rope ladder was thrown down from the top, and the sailor lowered a small wooden boat from the fishing boat, and then slowly paddled over it and climbed up the rope ladder.

When Hong Chengchou went up, he happened to see Shen Yourong, who was stare at Macau with his hands behind his back. And Shen Yourong was also surprised that a Chinese official climbed out of the rope ladder. Looking at the other party's clothing, it is obviously a five-grade official, but I don't know what kind of official it is.

Shen Yourong didn't move, from the rank of general, he wanted to be higher than the other party, but he was also slightly worried in his heart, the other party was a civil official, and he didn't know how he would react.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has been using civil and military forces for hundreds of years, and civil officials have long developed a kind of arrogance, and this arrogance has directly caused many current civil and military conflicts, especially local officials and city defense officers. A habit dictates, a heart has dignity, and under repeated conflicts, contradictions are frequent.

However, under the conflict, it is often the civilian officials who suffer, after all, they are unreasonable first, some civilian officials have learned to be smart, and some are still continuing to the past, and even violated military law, there is no shortage of such officials in the Mongolian steppe, and they were directly sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate by the city defense army.

Shen Yourong silently watched the other party climb up, guessing the other party's reaction.

"Xiaguan Guangzhou Port Customs Director Hong Chengchou has seen the old general." Hong Chengchou was the first to make a note, the etiquette of the lower officials to meet the upper officials. Obviously, he is the kind of civilian official who is very responsive to the trend and situation.

Such a respectful attitude made Shen Yourong smile suddenly, he was actually an old man who was easily satisfied. As a representative of the old-style military, he really felt the power of a civilian official, and now, he was able to let a five-grade civilian official be the first to see him, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

"Haha, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Lord Hong, please get up, Lord Hong, please get up." However, out of caution and habit in the past, he also returned the salute with a fist.

"I don't know what happened to Lord Hong?" After greeting each other, Shen Yourong asked first.

"Ahem!" Hong Chengchou smiled embarrassedly, "Old general, that's the case, the Portuguese don't know that this fleet belongs to my Daming, so they reacted a little too aggressively, and I ask the boss to forgive me." ”

As soon as Hong Chengchou said this, Shen Yourong reacted when he arrived, this was to make peace, but he still sneered, "Overreacting, what kind of truth is this, this general is sailing on the land of Daming, as soon as he comes, he is good, and he will start to set up artillery directly, if it is not for the timely reminder of the lookout, this general will be hit by a cannon!" ”

Hong Chengchou continued to smile awkwardly, this is a fact, these Portuguese people are indeed a little reckless.

"Lord Hong leads the way, Lord Ben wants to see what kind of person he dares to be so presumptuous in the land of the Ming Dynasty!" Shen Yourong couldn't suppress his anger, especially after the separation of the military and the government, he couldn't tolerate the contempt of others for him.

He immediately took the lead and ordered several destroyers to escort the ship, and then his flagship broke away from the battle line and sailed directly into the port of Macao.

For the angry Shen Yourong, Hong Chengchou did not have good words to persuade him, but watched silently on the side, after all, he was an official of the Ming Dynasty, not a Portuguese, and he came to Macao just to obtain a certain amount of military support, not to collude with foreign enemies and betray national interests, so he should stand on Shen Yourong's side.

Moreover, Shen Yourong's troubles are also of great benefit to him, which can not only suppress the arrogance of the Portuguese, but also allow him to gain strong support in the next actions, after all, it shows the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and he has more confidence to bargain in front of the Yiren.

Mascolu also came to the dock of the port with a smile on his face, ready to greet the general of the Ming Dynasty, he really didn't expect that in this ancient country in the East, he could see such a huge fleet group, and the size of the battleships in it, even in Europe, is the top.

I just don't know, how many such fleets are there in Daming.

"Perhaps, it's time to change the strategy towards Daming, we should be more respectful, and move closer to the past." Mascolus also thought happily.

Although he is the governor of Macao, he does not have much power, he is only in charge of the defense of Macao, and he can't interfere with anything else, and the power is in the hands of the local Portuguese Council and the Jesuits.

What a blind name for the Governor.

However, the accidental passing of the Ming fleet this time made Mascolu also see some hope, as long as he took this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Ming government and establish a good personal friendship, then his authority would definitely increase, so slowly, the name of the governor will one day live up to his name.

Just as his thoughts were flying, the battleship over there slowly dropped anchor and stopped, and then a board was set up, and first, Shen Yourong, who was dressed in military uniform, strode down, followed by Hong Chengchou and a series of guards.

"Respected General Daming, I am a ......." Ma Shijialu also smiled and saluted, ready to introduce himself, but he was greeted by a teacher who asked for guilt.

"Who is you, dare to be so presumptuous! Unexpectedly, on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming fleet fought against each other, and Mo Feier and others intended to plot against each other? Shen Yourong asked angrily.

The reason for his anger is simple: it is like facing foreigners who are preparing to carry out terrorist activities, and no policeman or soldier will be indifferent.

Of course, with Shen Yourong's city government and many years of ups and downs, he is not so easily angry, but his reaction is in line with his identity and position, if he ignores this matter and does not express his position at all, then it will definitely make His Majesty feel a gap when it reaches the emperor's ears afterwards.

He is expressing his position, showing his position, and showing the attitude of the Ming Dynasty. And this is also in line with the Ming Dynasty's consistent image of tough diplomacy.

It's just that this question that Shen Yourong looked like was normal, but it fell into the ears of the happy Mascoluye, but it was very different, and it immediately made him look confused, and he didn't know what was going on.

However, the language is different, but the emotions are the same in all countries, and Shen Yourong's expression makes it easy to see that he is angry.

General Daming is angry? Why? Thinking about the reason, Mascolu immediately turned his head to look at his interpreter, who was also Portuguese and had been hired by him at a high price.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this Ming general said that you want to fight with him in his kingdom, it's just too much, and he asked us if we want to overthrow the Ming rule here." Obviously, this translator has a good level of Chinese and knows how to translate idioms.

"Overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty?!" When he understood that the other party was angry because of this, Mascolu was also shocked, and then complained to himself with remorse in his heart, this is the Ming Dynasty, not India, everything here must be careful, and the rule of law of the Ming Dynasty must be obeyed.

This is what the Jesuit priest told him earnestly at that time, but he turned his head and forgot about it after hearing it, and did not take it to heart, and Ezmascus also saw and heard in various places, although the Ming Dynasty was large, but it was rotten, like the Inca Empire in the Americas, which could be easily destroyed. It's just that Portugal hasn't focused on it.

Although his concept has changed after taking office for a period of time, his inner thoughts have not been easily changed back, and it is precisely because of this that after he discovered the unfamiliar fleet, he immediately prepared to defend against the enemy, without considering whether this fleet could be the Ming Dynasty.
